Week 3 - Quarterfinals




Ellen Kirishima (Pers) Ellen Kirishima vs Garan Garan (SH2)

Nephrite
Ellen stood in the middle of the arena, tapping her foot.

"Where is my opponent? I -am- supposed to be fighting, am I not?"

Then, from the sky, Garan began floating down.

Garan floated in front of Ellen, chuckling. "Nyaha! Here I am, wench! Let us see which one is truly the better magician!"

Ellen stood there, completely stunned. "...Wow, that's a really nice pillow. Where did you get it?"

Garan blinked, looking down. "What?! My pillow?! Well, if you really must know, I bought it from a nice antique store down the road..."

With that, Ellen left to go buy a pillow so she could float on it, completely forgetting about the match she was supposed to have.

Garan looked around. "Hello...? ...Hellooooo...? ...Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal~."

The rest, as you might imagine, has been removed due to the sheer horror value.

Ellen Kirishima: 16
Garan: 21


Vigoro (SoA) Vigoro vs Jade Jade (BoF1)

AAA
Unbeknowst to most Dl'ers, Vigoro actually has very poor eyesight. This is the reason why he needs such big cannons, despite such Freudian explanations that pop up every now and then. As a matter of fact Vigoro's eyesight was so bad that after observance of Jade's pixelated form and his name, he tried to turn on the charm to what he thought was a female, pixelated or no.

You can imagine his dissapointment as BoltX after BoltX ripped him to shreds.

I mean, it's not like Vigoro could do much better anyway, but it's the principle of the thing, no?

Vigoro: 13
Jade: 37


Dark Force (PSs) Dark Force vs Galcian Galcian (SoA)

Ryu Hayabusa
Shouts of "Long live Valua! Long live Lord Galcian!!" erupted from the crowd as Galcian strode into the Arena. Casting an imperious glance toward his opponent, he was surprised to see only a tiny ornate box on the ground.

"What's this?" he thought. "Has Dark Force forfeited the match and left me some sort of peace offering instead?"

The crowd held its breath as Galcian flung open the box...

...and then all Hell broke loose as massive swirling shadows exploded from the box, whispering maniacal heresies, predictions of death and various rock lyrics played backwards. The crowd screamed in panic as the shadows swirled around them, projecting their worst nightmares into their minds. Only Galcian stood unmoved and steadfast, as the shadows coalesced in front of him into the towering, monstrous Dark Force.

"You have opened Pandora's box!" Dark Force roared. "I am Dark Force - I return every thousand years to wreak havoc on the RPGDL! Your hatred, fear and sorrow give me strength - so prepare to die, pathetic mortal!!"

In answer, Galcian drew his sword and attacked. Valuan steel tore into the physical manifestation of evil with flawless, devastating blows. Dark Force howled in anger and returned the damage in spades, but Galcian hardly flinched. He fought like a man possessed, ducking and weaving around Dark Force's attacks and punishing the demon relentlessly. Suddenly it seemed that Dark Force was weakening, faltering before Galcian's onslaught - and then Galcian gasped and took a step back as a multitude of hideous Dark Force heads swarmed around him, clawing at his mind, tearing at the very foundation of his sanity.

"Fool!" Dark Force laughed. "Your own mortal weaknesses shall betray you!!"

Galcian suddenly forgot where he was and what he was doing here. Only one thing stood out in his mind - money! All of his wealth and military power, that had never satisfied him to begin with, now seemed much too little, dangerously so. Basically, Galcian got greedy. With supernatural quickness he loped out of the Arena, and proceeded to pulverize Zidane, who had been placidly chewing a sandwich in the stands. Taking the thief's money pouch, Galcian continued to slaughter the spectators one by one, pocketing their wallets and purses in the process. Thus Dark Force was declared the winner by a ring-out, and vanished back to the foul pits of the abyss where it lived.

Dark Force: 31
Galcian: 16

Shale
Galcian has Eternum. Dark Force doesn't care.
Galcian resists status. Dark Force doesn't care.
Galcian has Terminal. Dark Force has attacks stronger than Terminal. Galcian cares.




Zeromus (FF4) Zeromus vs Piastol Piastol (SoA)

SageAcrin
"I'll give you anything."

"No."

"Power, wealth, dominion over all these ants, if only you'll aid me against her!"

"...I said no, Zeromus." Yuri said across the table from him. "No, you don't get the buttons. For one thing, you're weaker than me, so I really fail to see how you'll give me anything that I can't get. "

"For another, I don't want this traced back to me, I've had enough suspicious glances thrown at me."

"And for a third, the mud-wrestling joke's old. It needs a rest for now." Yuri said, finishing his drink. "Thanks for the drink, but I think I'll be going to sleep now. Got to get up bright and early to watch Piastol cut you in half, after all."

"Grrrr...what's stopping me from ripping you in half, you miserable insect! I'll tear you apart!" Zeromus screamed out.

"The fact that he just left and had left for 25 seconds there before you could think of a comeback, possibly." Orlandu said from his seat.

"...So be it. I shall find my own way." Zeromus said, flowing out of the bar in his ghost-like Zemus form.

*The next day.*

"Ah, so you're finally here. And since I, as well as some hired detectives, have our eyes on several little trouble-makers, I know that nothing special's going to happen this time. The money from becoming Champion has it's advantages." Piastol said to Zeromus, a small smile on her face.

"Hmph. I don't need their help." Zeromus said, holding up a crude switch.

"Oh, god, no. He didn't try to wire into that #$%^ing thing himself." Cid Highwind groaned. "We had #%$%ing eight engineers on that damned thing. And two of them were %&*@ing Sid and Cidolfas Orlandu. Without the damn ^&*#ing blueprints..."

"See?" Zeromus said viciously, flipping the switch.

And the crowd watched, stunned, as the doors to a pit violently opened.

Upwards.

Under Zeromus, who evidently hadn't even a clear idea of where the pit was at.

"...damn, he really got some good height on that." Yuri said, watching Zeromus soar majestically out of the arena, the force from the doors sudden opening propelling him high into the air.

"And stop looking at me. For once, this wasn't my fault." Yuri said, grinning, as he walked to an exit.

Zeromus: 26
Piastol: 30




Kary (FF1) Kary vs Cecilia Lyne Adelhyde Cecilia Lyne Adelhyde (WA)

Sei
The silence around the ring was deafening as tension filled the entire arena with its presence. The two duelers watched each other cautiously, and the audience watched with them. No one moved or uttered a sound, not man, woman, or child, as the long debated match slowly reached its climax.

This was it. The victor of this battle will be decided with the next move. Both are now weary after the long, grueling duel, and neither will be able to survive the others attack. A free ticket to the finals, as well as an upgrade to Godlike hinges on what happens next and neither was willing those up without a fight.

For a long time, they just stood there, doing nothing except glare at each other. Dark clouds covered the sky, covering the arena in a cloak of darkness, and a wild wind began to stir, making dead leaves and dry dust dance around the two in a dramatic manner.

Then one of the fighters threw a card face-up on her dueling plate.

"I summon Kary, the Fiend of Fire!" The first dueler screamed, the shade created by the clouds hiding her true identity. "Kary, the Fiend of Fire has an attack power of 2600 points, while your Hero Card only has 1800 points! Since you only have 100 life points left, I’m going to win! And now, Kary, the Fiend of Fire! Attack Cecilia, the Magician!"

"Attack? Did you just say... attack?" said the second dueler, the shadows also hiding her every feature from view, save for a confident smirk. "I now activate my Trap Card, Hide! With Hide, Heroes of the Fighting class loses half of their attack power! Kary now only has 1300 attack points and that is less than Cecilia, the Magician!"

"Hah! You may think that you’ve outsmarted me, but I had expected something like that!" The first dueler laughed while she aggressively flipped one of her cards face-up. "Activate Magic Card, Gurgu Volcano! While this card is in play, all Heroes of the fire element gains 800 attack points! My card now has 2100 attack points, and that is still more than enough to beat you!"

"Have you forgotten Cecilia’s special ability? I activate the special ability of Cecilia, the Magician, and choose a Magic Card from my hand!" Responded the second dueler; her amused smirk never leaving her face while she energetically plucked a card from her hand. "And the card that I choose... is Eraser!"

"No!" The first dueler shrieked and reeled back in shock and too much drama. "Eraser makes a Hero with elemental affinity lose 500 points! Since Kary has affinity to fire, her attack power will go down to 1600! Since I only have 200 Life Points left, I’m going to lose!"

"Yes, and now, Cecilia, the Magician! Use Randomizer: Ice Needle and destroy Kary, the Fiend of Fire!"

And in glorious 3D, a gigantic, fully rendered Cecilia launched a thin beam of blue at a gigantic, fully rendered Kary, freezing and shattering it to pieces. While the poorly rendered polygons rained on the arena floor, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the identities of the duelers.

"No! How can I lose?" The first dueler, now clearly identified as Kary, screamed in dismay "My cards were a lot stronger than yours!"

“Kary,” the second dueler, Cecilia, solemnly began "While your cards may be stronger, you lacked the ability to understand the heart of your cards, and that was why you lost!"

And thus, the crowds cheered. Just because.

---

As the commercial ended, the gathered group of dream chasers and fiends stared long and hard at their comrades.

"I really hope the two of you feel ashamed of yourselves." The Fiend of Air and mother of creation growled in disgust. "I can’t believe you let Kuja use your match like that."

"I couldn't help it!" cried Kary, her reddish skin tone redder than usual. "Gilgamesh had a fire sale on swords, and I needed the money!"

"And the Earth Golem needed cleaning," Cecilia added while drowning her shame in burgers, "I didn’t exactly want to drain Adlehyde’s coffers."

"Say, did you remember to leave some money for us?" Jack suddenly asked.

In response, the two Heavies just looked down in embarrassment.

Kary: 16
Cecilia Lyne Adelhyde: 51

chipstick85
"I Kary will knock you all down."
"Whaa... that's not even your line..."
"I Kary am the strongest of the four fiends..."
"No no no, you're in the wrong game now."
"I have a hell of a lot of swords!"
"Now you're ripping off a hero from your own game... kind of."
"..."
"Go see a doctor."
"Fine..."

Dude789
I would put Cecilia at about white mage durability. Kary can't OHKO a white mage. Cecilia wins.




Nash Latkje (S3) Nash Latkje vs Purim Purim (SoM)

SageAcrin
I think this match sums up the true spirit of the Role-Playing Game Duelling League.

No matter how successful and charming... no matter how well-balanced a warrior... how intelligent a person you are... no matter how much strength you have in plot or how many fans you have...

...you can always be set on fire by a doofy spoiled girl in harem pants.

And lose because you can't struggle out of the constricting fire as she punches you unconcious. Even though this makes no real sense.

And if you don't think that's the true spirit of the Duelling League, you haven't been paying enough attention.

Nash Latkje: 28
Purim: 33

Scar
Purim walked into the arena happy about her latest achievement, a win! She couldn't help but have a huge smile on her face. Her smile quickly turned into curiosity when she saw what was laying in the center of the arena, a pot. Like a giddy school girl she ran around the huge object and inspected it. Around the other side of the pot, leaning against it, was Nash. A cool, calm collected expression is what greeted the girl. Her eyes, filled with wonder. Began to question Nash.

"Mister, what is this thing doing here?"

Nash, slowly lifted himself from his leaning position and looked at the pot. "Oh this, why little lady this is.."

"OMIGOSH it is soooo huge! Purim said as she began to run around the pot like a maniac.

"........uhh yeah. But anyways This pot was put here becau..."

She once again cut him off. "Wonder what could be inside such a big things!!"

Nash's hand slowly covered his face. "well aren't you a curious one........."

"Yep!"

".....right..." *whispers* but I had this whole ingenious plan devised to get this girl in this thing. *sigh* "Tell ya what lil lady. I will give you a lift and let you have a look'si so you can quench your curiosity."

Her eyes lit up. "You would do that for me!!!"

"Seems that way, but really this shouldn't be so easy."

It was obvious she wasn't paying attention to him anymore. "It's so big!!!!" She turned to him quickly with a look of concern in her expression. "Hey......."

"Yes?"

"Who are you again?"

"..........."

"......?"

"Just get in the damn pot."

"Okeeeee"

There was a loud splash, and as the tears dried up from Nash's face, two little Goblins ran up to him. Nash bent down and paid them off as they took to boiling pot away, with the simple minded girl in it. The time, effort, and money spent on this plan made Nash a very sad winner as he realized he could have probably won by giving her the wrong directions to the arena.




Id (XG) Id vs Hugo Hugo (S3)

Lackshmana
Hugo vs Id is one hell of a fight.

They deal sickening amounts
of physical damage.
They are faster than spit.
They come from two
of my favorite games.

But, Hugo can dodge/counter
like no PC before him,
and Id is the badguy.

Two advantages that just have to
work towards a Heavy title
for Karaya's favorite son.

Id: 28
Hugo: 39


Beatrix (FF9) Beatrix vs Lassic Lassic (PSs)

SageAcrin
A Holy Swordswoman and true hero... against a evil demon that fears the light.

RPG Cliche #1: Evil Demon always loses in these things. Period.

(RPG Sub-Cliche #1: With the exception of fights where the evil demon defeats the enemy hero and gloats over it, but doesn't actually kill the hero. However, this doesn't apply to Lassic.)

Normally, that would be that, but Lassic isn't a terribly stupid demon, actually. So, he came up with a fiendish plan.

Then, amazingly, he came to his senses and read a book of RPG cliches.

RPG Cliche #2: All the fiendish plans the demon makes against the holy warrior never work. Ever. Really. Evil Demon is screwed.

Then he forfeited the match. As such, he has the truest victory of them all: He's managed to fight RPG cliches... and win.

Oh, and he managed to talk Quina into cooking Save the Queen and (attempt to) eat it. But that's a story for another time.

Beatrix: 45
Lassic: 16




Izlude Tingel (FFT) Izlude Tingel vs Nino Nino (FE7)

Ryu Hayabusa
Since Alma was nowhere to be seen, Izlude decided to do the next best thing and kidnap Nino instead. Under cover of darkness his squad of Shrine Knights rode into the outskirts of Pherae and surrounded Nino's house.

"Let go of me! Help!" Nino cried, barefoot in her nightgown as Izlude dragged her outside and started hoisting her onto his chocobo.

"Be quiet! Do as I say!" Izlude yelled.

Suddenly there was rustling in the bushes, and Captain Fargus and his pirate crew emerged to surround the Ivalicians.

"Yaar!" said one of the pirates. "There's the scurvy landlubber who sent our matey Dart to Davey Jones' locker! And look what kind of mischief he's up to now!"

"Looks like Matthew's tip paid off!" Fargus snarled, slamming his axe down so hard the ground shook. "Allright, ye salty sea-dogs! Let's get these noseless freaks!"

Yelling like demons, the pirates fell upon Izlude's squad. Within minutes all the Shrine Knights were dead, save for Izlude, who knelt bloodied and awaited Fargus' killing blow.

"Wait! Don't kill him!" Nino shouted as Fargus raised his axe. She ran to Izlude and threw her arms around him. "I love him! He's not evil... he's really kind and gentle! You don't know him like I do!"

"Huh?" Izlude said.

"What?" Fargus said. "Girl, now I know kidnap victims sometimes begin to sympathise with their kidnappers, but this is ridiculous! Ah well. Guess there's only one thing left to do."

"...Nino." Jaffar said quietly. Never having been placed next to Nino long enough by the Tactician to get an A support, he had been protecting her from the shadows. Turning, he carefully slipped away, for he was no longer needed here.

And so a bound and gagged Izlude was carried away to the pirates' ship, where Fargus, as ship's captain would officiate his wedding with Nino.

After their wedding and adventure-filled honeymoon, Izlude and Nino were blessed with twin boys. They lived happily together until assassins came looking for Nino. To protect her family, Nino dissapeared. Therefore she didn't show up for the match, and Izlude was declared the winner by default.

Izlude Tingel: 44
Nino: 27


Lucia (Lunar2) Lucia vs Lich Lich (FF1)

Jo'ou Ranbu
Lucia was worried about her match. She wasn't able to stop Zophar, the embodiment of destruction, by herself... and there was no guarantee that she could take an undead, powerful fiend by herself either. She knew what she had to do to win, even if it was illegal.

The next day, on the arena, Lucia appeared wearing her Blue Spire garments, enveloped by a powerful energy that shielded her from harm. Yes, she would partake from plot powers to win, and she would protect the DL from the Lich... even if this would be deemed inappropriate. Lich stared at her, somewhat surprised. Lucia, with her faint voice, stood up to the Fiend.

"Detestable monster! In the name of the Blue Star, I will banish you from existence and guarantee the safety of Lunar!"

And Lich glomped Lucia whole. He wasn't particularly smart, but eating people seemed to solve all problems until you face Demi, he learned from Jibril... somehow...

No plot powers can save someone from the plot powers of eating, it seems.

Lucia: 29
Lich: 40


Fina (SoA) Fina vs Yuffie Kisaragi Yuffie Kisaragi (FF7)

Shale
Fina's best hope of winning is to keep using Stone Glyph until Yuffie turns to stone. Yuffie's best hope of winning is to keep hitting Fina with something sharp and metal until she dies. One of these is guaranteed to happen, and the other isn't. Moral of the story: a good blade is better than all the luck in the world.

Fina: 20
Yuffie Kisaragi: 40


Tio (G2) Tio vs Noa Noa (LoL)

Sei
Due to unexpected developments involving Tough Love, the match between Noa and Tio will not be shown out of respect for Right to Censor groups, and fear for their ability to sue our asses out of a lot of money.

That said, all interested in seeing the outcome of the match can buy the footage tapes entitled "Robots Gone Wild" from Edgar’s Video Shop, now available at the low, low price of 4999.99 GP! Supplies won’t last, so order now!

Tio: 22
Noa: 26




Meredy (ToE) Meredy vs Piccolo Piccolo (S3)

OblivionKnight
"Quickie, look out!" Meredy yelled as the mighty Piccolo piledrived into the poor animal, knocking it across the arena and into the wall. The animal squeaked in pain and collapsed.

"I am far beyond your comprehension, little girl!" the elder S-Fighter screamed. "My power level is far higher than yours! You and your puny power level of 10,000! I have more than a 1,000,000!"

"You...you hurt Quickie! I...Meredy angry! I call upon thee in the land of the dead to unleash thy fury of thunder! Indignation!"

The sky darkened, and a giganitc bolt of lightning crashed down to the ground, striking Piccolo with electrical energy. Meredy stood, drooped over, panting: had she taken him down?

As the smoke cleared, the outline of the mighty S-Fighter came more into focus. Piccolo stood tall, having weathered the mighty blow.

"You fool! You cannot match my power! Now: die! Special Waking Furious Blow!"

The blaze of energy came far too fast for Meredy to dodge: she was blasted clear out of the arena, and knocked unconscious.

"Haha! I win! No one can stop me now! I shall soon conquer..." the old man's victory speech was soon stopped by the arrival of one of the judges into the arena.

"You are disqualified, you stupid old man" Indalecio, the mightiest of the Ten Wisemen, said. "You fused yourself with some green guy from an unranked RPG before the fight. As punishment, I will turn you to ashes"

"Ha! You think you can match me? Your power level is a mere...1,000,000,000!??"

"There is always someone stronger than you, you stupid fool" Indalecio said, as a shot of Explosion reduced the once mighty fusion between an old man and a Namek into nothing more than dust to be swept away.

Meredy: 36
Piccolo: 12


Cai (Brig) Cai vs Shabon Shabon (S3)

Superaielman
Nei eyed the tired looking young woman. She had a bow strapped to her back, and obviously supported Cai. She was a little surprised by the bet being mentioned...yet..

"Not only will Cai win, but he'll do it without so much as casting a single attack spell? And that you'll pay a year's salary if Cai doesn't win?"


Merriot smiled happily, and nodded. "Yep! And of course, if Cai wins.." the princess leaned over, and whispered in Nei's ear. "So you accept? Awesome!" Merriot quickly skipped off.


---


Cai couldn't believe his opponent. "A child.. I can't harm her." Instead, Cai opened up his book and sat down in the middle of the ring, reading. Shabon was not amused by this. "Pay attention to me!" Spell after spell was fired off at Cai. The only response Shabon got was a few muttered healing spells, and the turning of the pages in the book. Shabon stopped attacking after her attacks failed. Walking up to Cai, she spoke up. "What'cha reading?" Cai paused from his reading, and looked up. "A fairy tale, about an anicent creature of chaos. Go sit down in front of me, and I'll be glad to read the story to you." Unable to resist the lure of a good, new story, Shabon sat down... right outside of the ring.


Merriot laughed, and clapped her hands. She reached Nei, and stuck her hand out. "And now, to keep your part of the bet.."


---

Nei and Toppo stood in Cai's room, hauling various pieces of dirty laundry around. Cai sat on his bed, reading outloud to Shabon, who had taken a liking to the king during their match. Merriot stood, directly Toppo and Nei as they paid their half of the bet.


"Hehe. Nice to not have to do Cai's dirty work, for once."

Cai: 25
Shabon: 17


Erk (FE7) Erk vs Kain Highwind Kain Highwind (FF4)

Scar
One jump is all Kain needs to finish off Erk. Seeing as how no dueller is smart enough to move out of the way when a man in Heavy Armor about to impale them from up above. I don't expect Erk to notice the giant lance that is now part of his anatomy. Thank the lord Erk can't cure himself every turn though...................or......or Kain would be in trouble...

*snicker*

As for a write up.......

Erk readies Lightning........

Kain Jumps........

Erk misses.......

Kain lands.........

Erk falls.......

Erk: 24
Kain Highwind: 49


Sylvina (S1) Sylvina vs Grey Grey (VP1)

AAA
So.

Suikoscrub vs. VP character whose only real use is to send to Aesir doens't really make much of a interesting match, does it?

So, as Grey's superior firepower overcame the frail elf, nobody really took notice except for Sylvina's beau, who swore revenge against the swordsmen.

Of course, he's just as bad as his girlfriend, so Grey really wasn't inconvinenced.

Sylvina: 10
Grey: 54

Fear Itself

~OblivionKnight


Draco Ignifer
Basically, the contest is between Laharl and Yuri. Rikku, Llewelyn, and Chat all have to deal with not only their phobias, the very real and likely to be realized fears of being roasted, massacred, and stomped on, respectively. Not gonna happen. So the only question is, which of the two can overcome their fears easiest. I give Yuri a lot of credit, but his phobia is so bas that he gets nervous at the mere mention of DEMONS. Compare this to Laharl, who is capable of slaughtering an army of catgirls and succubi by closing his eyes, and it doesn't really seem like the Overlord has any competition. Of course, this does mean that the vacation to Costa del Sol goes to someone about as likely to regard it as relaxing as Rikku would a trip to the Thunder Plains, but at least the smell of the sea, feel of the sand and sun, and sound of the waves are enjoyable through a blindfold.

Laharl: 26
Llewelyn: 5
Chat: 2
Yuri: 25
Rikku: 22

Shale
Each of these characters has a paralyzing, irrational, devastating fear. Llewelyn runs from his. Rikku cowers at the sound of thunder. Chat panics. Yuri avoids the paranormal. Laharl, though...Laharl reacts to fear by setting the things he's afraid of on fire. That's generally effective.

Starphoenix das Helpoemer
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed it, but Rikku has ALREADY gotten over her fear of lightning. Sure, she's now donning a bikini and braids out the yin yang by then, but she HAS overcome that crippling fear. So... yeah, she really should be able to walk in and claim to have overcome her fear before anyone else even entertains the idea of facing their fear instead of running like a little bitch.

Tonfa Baton
Oh come on. Rikku already got rid of her fear of thunder before the events of FFX-2, thus she is the winner by default.
