Season 18, Week 1
Philia Felice
(Tales of Destiny)
 
From the relative peace of Straylize Temple, warrior-priestess Philia Felice and her Swordian Clemente come forth to do battle once again. But the priestly robes and nerdly spectacles belie magical might that few can hope to withstand. In previous seasons, Philia faced off against masterful spellslingers and came away with nary a scratch. Rauny's power of Thunder will be quite outmatched, for Philia has mastered the soul of the Swordian of Lightning and Divine Power itself.

The great female paladin Rauny has finally realized that you can't hide forever. Fresh from her hiding place in the Valley of Kastro, the errant bride marks her debut in the DL with a battle against a fellow recluse, the priestess Philia. Rauny's job gives her the lightning resistance she needs to stand up against Philia's shocking magic, and to give back much more damage than she'll have to suffer. If all else fails, a few good whacks with her Muse staff will seal the deal quite well.

A battle of fierce magic was waged.

Blasts of lightning struck into Philia, while the forces of the elements, gravity and holy light sheared out from Clemente, and flared into Rauny with enough strength to crush most normal men.

Both of the combatents were incredibly evenly matched.

However, perhaps a more important battle than this match was being waged at a bar nearby....

"You what!?" Alena shrieked, smacking Brey upside the head.

"Stop...hitting me! I didn't do anything!" Brey said, his head swimming.

"Oh, come on, I'm not totally deaf. I heard you talking about setting up a charm spell in a arena, and the other people at your table are Edgar, Zidane, Sheena Lepant and Sten. And all of you were just laughing. Now just what did you do?" Alena said, pulling back her fist threateningly.

"He didn't do anything! We were just laughing about...um, a joke he made! Yeah, about.....um.....ah.....AUGH!" Sten yelled, as Alena calmly backhanded him unconcious.

"He's a really bad liar. Anyhow, which arena, and what do you perverts have planned?" Alena said, calmly pulling out a pair of earrings...

"Phew. We made it in time. Viki, you know what you have to do, right?" Alena said, to the young girl dressed in white at her side.

"Of course, it's fairly simple." The younger of the two Vikis said.

"Thanks. Those five will get theirs for this." Alena said, grinning.

As the crowd watched, Philia, just barely standing, managed to hurl one last spell against Rauny before collapsing, exhausted. However, this was the last straw for Rauny, who found the world swimming around her. Battered, she stumbled, then fell to the ground, unconcious.

"Now, Viki!" Alena yelled. Viki raised her right hand to the sky...

As the trap went off. A massive charm magic, designed to make anyone in the ring fall instantly in love with anyone else. It took Brey weeks to research.

Sadly for Brey, as well as the other people involved, they had taken the full brunt of it. Viki had teleported the two women out of the ring, and put Sten, Zidane, Sheena, Edgar and Brey in their place, just before the magic went off...

Thankfully, this......ah......display didn't have long to go on.

Sten and Zidane were caught in Anima's Oblivion, as soon as Yuna realized that they were, in fact, taking each other's clothes off.

Edgar ended up blasted up into the stands by an Ultima as Terra surmised, correctly, that he'd probably prefer that than making out with Sten.

And Sheena and Brey ended up caught in the full force of multiple Rune spells and magics. Well, really, it was Sheena that was the target, the girls he had hit on had been looking for a chance to roast him alive without consequences for ages.

...unfortunatly, this wasn't the end of it, as the trap's secondary effect went off.

Brey had, in the making of the trap, guessed that one or the other combatants might die during the battle. So, the trap was designed to revive anyone dead in the arena.

...However, it never occured to him to put a limitation on how many times it revived people...

Alena quickly dragged Brey(Still trying to fight his way over to Sheena...) out of the ring, judging that he'd been punished enough, and Edgar was fortunate enough to still be up in the stands(Dead, but that was probably better for him, all things considered.).

The other three weren't so lucky. Sheena was eventually dragged out of the ring by his father, once he heard that his son was getting himself killed over and over again by girls he'd hit on.

As for Zidane and Sten...well, they were blasted by horribly painful attack after horribly painful attack. Over and over.

Dark Wave, Holocaust, Bahamut, Raftina, Xenogears stepping on both, DeadEnd Finality, Divine Dragon Ball, Eden, Luminaire, Hell Wave, Fate Storm, KaiserBreaths of multiple kinds, G.Dragon, Geno Blast, Jihad, doublecast Meteor, Zap, End of the World, Madante, multiple Megids, Legeon, Flare Wave, Super Nova, Razor Leaf, Meteor Doom, many different versions of Holy and Flare, Holy Explosion, For The Children, 10x D-Charge Hurricane, Forgiver Sign, Hell...

Truly, the sight of Sten and Zidane making out brought together the Duelling League as it never has been before.
