Brave Yuko vs. Sonic Knight - Heroes of Light and Dark

A new quest! A new adventure! More XP!

It may have been late into the evening for this round of showing at AFW, but Brave Yuko strode confidently through the Friction halls as if she hadn’t just spent all night fixing her town walls in Dragon Quest Builders. Mid-day naps were a treasure that few had the chance to reap the benefits of in their day-to-day, but it was a necessary schedule. Any true hero knows that the night is where the true terrors lay. And tonight was no exception.

Her adversary was a relative newcomer to the arena, as she was, but far from a defender of the people. No, this woman was a champion of darkness. Chaos incarnate. While her contest against the Sky Captain Rosemary had been a spirited and honorable bout, a hero still had her duties. Yuko strode to the gorilla position with a confident smile about her countenance. She’d vanquish her foe this day and ensure peace was restored.

Theme Music:

The vocals and drums echoed across the arena, signaling the heroine’s arrival. Spires of flames surged forth from the top of the ramp down its length, feeding the excitement of the countless patrons filling the arena. As the pace reached its apex, Brave Yuko came charging out from behind the curtain, flourishing her hands left and right as she ran. Despite her rush to the ring, she’d timed her run perfectly to move in parallel with the pillars of flame on both sides. Her smile broadened as she reached out for the ropes, leaping up onto the edge of the ring before making a huge leap onto the top rope, balancing herself on both feet as her scarf flourished brilliantly behind her.

She raised her arms high, giving grand and sweeping waves to all three sides of the arena. A thoroughly packed coliseum this day, many eyes watching the Legendary Hero as she flipped forward from the top rope, landing on two feet with the same proud smile she entered with. She made her way to her corner and awaited her foe’s entrance, desperate to catch a glimpse of this knight shrouded in darkness.

The heavy wails of a guitar and the hard crash of drums filled the arena. A foreboding, sickening shadow seemed to have spread across the arena, permeating the air and giving the figure approaching from behind the curtain their dreaded entrance. As if born from the Chaos Shrine itself, the obsidian-clad fiend stepped forth with an arrogant grin etched on her face.

Yuko stood proudly in the center of the ring, fists curled and tucked against her hips. Sonic Knight appeared every bit the demonic foe she envisioned her to be. The tiara on her scalp practically embellishing her as the princess of all things vile and cruel in this world.

She crossed her arms as the embodiment of darkness entered the ring. Her low voice, almost a demon’s growl, made her hackles stand up on end. But the hero’s resolve remained strong, unwavering in the face of chaos.

“Ha! Bold words, ravager! The only sacrifice tonight shall be you. I’m close to leveling up, and the experience from you will be more than enough!” She took a bold step forward and pointing definitely at the dark knight. “You overstep! I could finish you with one spell!” She waved her hand quickly to the side. “A waste of MP! Base attacks will defeat you all the same!”

She stepped forward as the official called them to the center of the ring. Her eyes never left the villain, resolved to see this through to the end.

“It is only customary that I warn you. You have stepped into the ring tonight only to meet your end. For you duel with the Legendary Hero, the Holy Sword, the Bane of all Evil. I am Brave Yuko! And with the power of my Excalibur, I shall smite you and all your cruel-blooded ilk from this world!”
