I'm not as familiar with VIII as I am with X, (I never ended up finishing it) but I'll give it a shot!

We used to be comrades
Now we're your rivals renewed!
We're not very lucky
Nor are we shrewd!
But when you see us next
Discern us, for you'd
Be best to engage us
Our offense is now good!

That was the closest I could get my last line to rhyme.
