Str8 Pimpin'
Sorry Void, not betting this round.
Is this FF2 Cecil, Chronicles Cecil, or Advanced Cecil? (On second thoughts, I don't want to know.)
Anyway, 5000 on Cecil.
This is a signature.
Two figures stood on a rocky crag, Pyreflies floating around them.
One was a bald, extremely muscular man wearing a a skirt and loincloth made of brown animal hide. He was covered in red markings and tattoos, And coiled around his arms were two long chains with a spear-like blade attached the ends. His eyes looked as if they held a rage beyond that of mere mortals, and his face was fixed in a permanent, near-feral scowl.
In definite contrast to the first combatant, the other seemed to radiate a brilliant, holy light that was almost tangible to all watching. He wore golden armor that covered every inch of his body, save his head. From breastplate to greaves, every inch of the armor was polished to an almost mirror sheen, and glowed in an unearthly light. Strapped to his left arm was a golden kite shield with white markings along its base, and in his right hand he held a longsword that blazed with brilliant holy light.
"The next battle is between Kratos and Cecil Harvey. Begin," L said from his floating platform above the battle.
Kratos immediately charged forward, swinging his blades in a spiraling arc towards Cecil.
As one blade arced in, Cecil raised his sword to deflect it. As the chain began to wrap around the blade, an explosion of holy light blasted it backwards. As the second blade came in, Cecil slashed out with his blade, again deflecting the chain in a burst of holy energy.
Grunting, Kratos drew back and withdrew his chains. Extending them again he swung his right arm, following through quickly with his left, causing both chains to arc at Cecil in different directions.
Cecil brought his sword forward, slashing the first blade aside and blocking the other with his shield. As the blade contacted with the shield, the chain began to wrap around it. Quickly, Cecil brought his blade forward and sliced at the chain. Kratos winced in pain as Cecil's sword flared with holy energy, blasting the chain away and unwrapping it from his shield.
As Kratos withdrew his chains, Cecil stepped forward and placed his boot on the chain, before driving his sword down onto it.
Kratos now howled with pain as the sword flared to life with a brilliant light, holy energy pulsing through the blade and shooting up the chain.
Unswaveringly, Cecil continued to drive the blade further down onto the chain. Clenching his jaw, Kratos swung his other chain around and slashed at Cecil.
Cecil stepped back and brought his blade slashing upward, blasting the chain away. He quickly brought the sword back down to slice at the other chain, eliciting yet another roar of pain from Kratos. However, this delay permitted Kratos to recover his chain to a safe resting position.
Roaring, this time with rage, Kratos charged forward, a massive sword materializing in his hands as he charged. Cecil brought his blade and shield into a defensive position, accepting Kratos' first slash with his shield.
Cecil seemed to shake from the impact as Kratos' sword slammed into the shield face, but it did not falter. His arm trembling slightly under the force, he moved forward, pushing Kratos' guard open and thrusting with his own sword.
Kratos screamed as the blade exploded with holy light as it slid into his chest. Roaring with rage he unleashed a burst of crackling magical energy that struck Cecil and blasted him backward.
Cecil's feet dragged along the ground, kicking up dust as he brought himself to a stop. Although he looked like he was in pain, his armor sparkled in the light, mute evidence to its magical and protective properties.
Cecil placed his shield-arm over his chest, his hand over his heart. White light glowed softly from it, and the weariness and pain on his face seemed to ease and vanish.
Kratos snapped his fingers, and a sizzling bolt of lighting appeared in his hand. Grasping it firmly, he hurled it at Cecil, who raised his shield to protect his vitals and crouched behind it, making himself a smaller target.
The bolt hit the shield squarely in the center, exploding in a burst of crackling energy. Without pausing, Kratos hurled another bolt, and then another. Each bolt struck the shield a glancing blow, but didn't penetrate Cecil's defense.
Continuing the onslaught, Kratos raised his other arm, which glowed with necrotic energy.
The pyreflies seemed to take shape as dessicated souls began to form around Kratos and begin to advance on Cecil.
As they grasped towards him, a great light burst forth from behind the shield, forcing Kratos to throw up his hands to shield his eyes. The spirits that had been attacking Cecil disintegrated with a wail, unable to withstand the holy fury.
A crystal of pure blue suspended itself in the air above Cecil, exuding a holy radiance that blinded most everyone watching.
Grasping his sword firmly, Cecil charged forward at the stunned Kratos as the Crystal stripped away his defenses. His expression as hard as steel, Cecil thrust his blade towards Kratos' chest. The blade shone in unison with the crystal, and the light grew brighter still, enveloping the battlefield.
As the light died down, Cecil stood with his shield at his side and his blade thrust outward. Kratos was hunched over the sword, his right lung pierced and his body impaled upon it.
With a shuddering gasp, his body toppled to the ground, the dead weight nearly ripping the sword from Cecil's hands.
As the body slid off the blade and lay on the ground with weak, ragged breathing, L held his hand up.
"Cecil is the winner," he said as White Mages rushed onto the scene to heal Kratos and carry him away on a stretcher.
The next battle is between Majin Etna and Will. It will take place in the Land of the Espers. The fight will be posted on Friday or Saturday. Those who have been eliminated may beg for money from other players, although nobody is obligated to give them more. Do it in the thread only, not by PM.

I know a lot of people called Will. Which one will ()be fighting?
Also, some info on Majin Etna would be appreciated.
This is a signature.
Allright! Now just Starlight and Traffic are beating me out.
At this point, however, I'm going to sit on my pot for the next three weeks while I am at home. Have a great time with it, y'all.
Signature by rubah. I think.
60,000 on Etna.
O R'lyeh?
You can look on page 2 where I announce the brackets and see what game all of the characters are from.
In this case, Majin Etna is her Disgaea 2 iteration, assumed to have the best equipment. Disgaea 2 allows one to get to the level of 9,999 if you so choose, and while I am downplaying that to some degree it is still having an effect on the battle. When you first encounter Etna in Disgaea 2, she is at level 1,000. What Etna is is a Majin (Demon Lord) of considerable power (Xenon remarks that she's as strong as an Overlord after she beats him into the ground). She often uses a spear and has a horde of prinny minions that she often throws so that they explode as part of her fighting style.
Will is from Illusion of Gaia. He is a young boy with some telekinetic abilities, and he uses his flute as a weapon. He also has the power to transform into Freedan, the dark warrior, and Shadow, who appears as a kind of amorphous blob.
30,000 on Etna![]()
I don't know eather... I'm doing a bad job right now.... 1,000 on will
I LIVE!!!!! AGAIN!
Thanks for that, BTV. Personally I can't wait to see the next battle. For this one, though, 8,000 on Will.
