Season 9, Week 3
Meredy
(Tales of Eternia)
 
Hweel! Meredy's going to have a simple fight, this week. Rikku has many tricks indeed to use on the Craymel engineer, but that's hardly a problem when she's stopped from one attack. Meredy's Destiny is the game's strongest attack...normally, the fact that it can only be used once would be a problem, but not against Rikku's low HP and magic defense. With one quick shot, Meredy's on to the next match.

Rikku has something to prove in her first season in the RPGDL. Her opponent this week, Meredy, is similar to her first opponent in a way. Both are rather frail mages, and, if Rikku has her way, both will have fallen to her after this week. With a quick Mix limit, which will likely come after a few attacks thanks to her Godhand, Rikku should be able to handle the Celestian, moving closer to becoming the second Final Fantasy X character to win a Light championship.

Meredy happily ran into the RPGDL arena, Quickie in tow, and faced down her opponent. The usually as-cheerful Rikku stood at the other end, not looking very happy. Meredy didn't question why, she just went into action, when the bell rang. She began casting a spell, and sent Quickie to keep the much faster Rikku tied up. It wasn't the best of plans, but Meredy figured it was the best way to keep Rikku out of her hair.

Rikku, for her part, didn't move forward at all. When the tiny blue creature finally made its way over to her, the crowd collectively gasped, as Rikku socked it in its tiny face.

"Oh, I feel horrible about it, too!" Rikku screamed, over the crowd. "But honestly! It's better than throwing high-yeild explosives at a young girl!"

"Quickie!" Meredy was shattered. "What did you do?!"

"I'm really sorry about that. But I can promise that he's nice and safe. This is a capture weapon. It sent your friend to the Calm Lands, where a friend will keep him safe. He might have a headache, though."

"I'll get you," Meredy promised, but she called her match anyhow, and ran out of the arena, after her beloved pet.

Rikku still felt she had to appeal to the crowd. "Yeah, I know. I'm sure the things OK. What's the worst that could happen?"

.....What, indeed.
