(Rolling for The Many Faces of Gilgamesh) imC4PHkY1-8(Current Mode is: Eorzean Warrior Mode!) ---------------------- (Let's do this!)Gilgamesh marched into the arena to the roar of the crowds. Last match he had what could charitably be called a "confusing match". In reality, it was so insane that it would've frayed the fabric of reality had Gilgamesh bothered to even ask one question about the proceedings. Luckily, Gilgamesh wasn't a man who questioned zany cartoon physics too much. In this match, Gilgamesh looked a bit different than the last one. For one thing, he only had two arms as opposed to multiple ones from before. The other thing that was different aside from his general appearance was that he had an odd-looking spear. This was, in fact, a gunspear called the Pradamante. Still, Gilgamesh looked much different from before and if it weren't Phil confirming that Gilgamesh could, indeed, shift his shape. Gilgamesh took his next few steps into the arena and then stopped a fair distance from his opponent. He gave a toothy grin as the barrier went up. "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Finally, it is time for the Quarter Finals. Look upon these walls, my destined opponent! Look upon them AND WEEP! For your path in this glorious tournament ends at my blade! It ends with ME! GILGAMESH! The mightiest swordsman in all the worlds! Long have I sought worthy opponents to test my skills! Long have I scoured the worlds in all directions and a few without names yet! And that journey and those experiences have brought me HERE! TO YOU! NOW! LET US SEE HOW YOU HANDLE THE MIGHTY ME! And by 'me', I mean GILGAMESH! And by 'handle', I mean DIE!"1-8

A few hours had been all the time given to Rojo since the end of the first round. It was barely enough time to tell the stories of his courageous adventures to a group of maidens who had quickly become his greatest fans. He'd seen at least a couple of them in the crowd during his first match, but they all had promised to cheer on the crimson mage during his encounter with his next foe.
Now, Rojo stood in the ring, hearing the loud cheers from his new fan section in the stands. The constant chants of "Rojo! Rojo! Rojo!" had done wonders for the red mage's ego, and by wonders of course he meant it inflated his ego. Surely none could stand in the way of the valiant Red Wizard of Light! He gazed his opponent over, mentally making notes of his impeccable fashion sense. He allowed the swordsman to have the first word, something he rarely did.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention to you. I was too busy giving you a quick moment of silence before you were brought down by the greatest swordsman and mage this tournament has to offer. I'll only introduce myself once, so pay attention. I am Rojo, the Red Wizard of Light, Slayer of Chaos, Champion of the Crystals of Light, Conqueror of the Mistletoe Mayhem Cup, and Slayer of Women's Hearts!"
At that, Rojo turned his attention to the lovely ladies cheering him on. He gave them a quick wink before he continued.
"I shall give you one chance to forfeit now! Should this enter combat, you will surely meet your doom! Chaos himself fell to my blade single handedly! I bested the evil fiend of fire, Marilith in swordsmanship, while she wielded 6 blades to my one mind you. I outwitted the Lich, wrestled the Kraken with my bare hands, and took on Tiamat herself with nothing but my own magic at my disposal! Surely, none can stop the power of the Red Wizard of Light!"
With the last line, Rojo posed with his blade held out in front of him, unleashing a Fira behind him, just for dramatic effect. The large pillar of flame accentuated his bravado tenfold. This Gilgamesh character had to be quaking in his boots now! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cast Fira behind him to make a 'Cool Guys' pose!

"PAH! That introduction and those flashy special effects wouldn't impress a peasant! YOU CLEARLY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO A PROPER INTRODUCTION!"
This is what Gilgamesh retorted with after Rojo's Fira spell dissipated. However, what Gilgamesh was actually thinking was, Damn, that was good. However, he wasn't going to balk at such an impressive display of flamboyant manliness! After all, he fought women dressed as men! "YOU?! The mightiest swordsman?! Surely you must be pulling my leg! Perhaps even both of them! You don't even have more than one sword and the sword you have doesn't look very impressive to me! I, GILGAMESH, the true mightiest swordsman in all worlds, have collected blades and weapons of all kinds from many a strong foe! I was once the one who tested many mighty guards of the king and they all fell before my prodigious swordplay! The only reason I don't have all of these weapons on me is because it'd be silly to walk around with all of them strapped to my back, wouldn't you say? Besides, no one gets paid enough to design all that nonsense! Krakens?! Mariliths?! CHAOS?! PAH, I say! I have wrestled with many monsters in the deepest oceans, so deep that light dare not go there lest it be eaten by the cloying darkness! Multi-armed monsters wielding weapons are my SPECIALTY and I have fought all kinds of fearsome monsters in the Rift between dimensions, monsters that they have no names for yet, monsters that could drive you insane from one look from their many eyes. Liches are merely skeletons who do a lot of finger waggling and TIAMET IS... is... is... A REALLY DUMB MONSTER I COULD FIGHT BLINDFOLDED AND ASLEEP! I laugh at your achievements, LAUGH I SAY!"
It was sort of clear that Gilgamesh only had the vaguest recollection of what Rojo was talking about, but why let having any idea of what you were talking about get in the way of a good boast? "Now then, let's do this properly. You, RRRRRRRRRROJO, THE RED WIZARD OF LIGHT, fight the mightiest swordsman in Eorzea, Ivalice, nay, IN ALL THE WORLDS! YOU FACE ME, GILGAMESH!" Gilgamesh then slowly moved his arms in a circle, getting ready for his signature pose. "And not only do you face the mightiest swordsman, YOU FACE THE FUTURE CHAMPION OF THIS TOURNAMENT!" Gilgamesh then struck a kabuki pose. The pose was so utterly magnificent that it not only somehow conjured cherry blossoms that briefly blew around on a gentle breeze, but also an illusion of the moon behind Gilgamesh, making him look like a silhouette. Somewhere, there was a guy making an odd, "Eeeeeooooo" sound and the sounds of drums beating gently in the wind.

The masked marauder in front of Rojo had quite the way with words. Rojo was nearly impressed with his ability to deliver an impressive monologue! However, Rojo noticed he had not listed any of his own accomplishments. He was obviously full of hot air. Nobody could compare to the prowess of the Red Wizard!
"HA! You claim to be the greatest swordsman in all the worlds, but you have naught for accomplishments compared to myself! I, Rojo, once saved the entire TIMELINE from disruption! As for my blade, you shall feel the power of Lightbringer yourself! This blade holds the power of Holy itself!
"Allow me to tell you the tale of my encounter with Chaos, and you can tremble before my deeds."
At that point Rojo began to give a very long winded response that included every step of his journey from Cornelia to the point the Warriors of Light traveled through time to defeat Chaos. He left out no detail, and made sure to include each and every single event that Rojo and his subordinates went through before he finally came to the conclusion.
"...and then, after we finally defeated Chaos, my subordinates and I returned to this very timeline. Their feeble minds were wiped of the incursion, but I, Rojo, the Red Wizard of Light, had the mental fortitude to withstand such a drastic leap in time!"
The audience, during his especially long monologue, had shifted their cheers to jeers. Apparently, they came to this arena for action, and not a complete retelling of the greatest adventure ever told! Rojo knew they had no taste for fine storytelling, and lifted his golden blade parallel to the ground, pointing straight at the swordsman in a crimson cowl.
"The crowd grows restless, mostly because they want to see my fine fighting prowess in action! I say to you, Gilgamesh, let us begin our fight. I shall defeat you and your cloak back to last season where it came from! En Guarde!"

Accomplishments?! Wasn't this pleb listening to Gilgamesh when talked of wrestling deep sea creatures and fighting monsters of the Rift! What an idiot! Then Rojo regaled the tale of how he came to save the entire timeline, sparing no detail, to the unfortunate disdain of the audience. But not Gilgamesh! Gilgamesh sat down, cross-legged, focused entirely on Rojo's story. His monstrous fortitude and peerless focus allowed him to listen to the entire story without falling asleep or contemplating on which sword he would use to commit seppuku. Gilgamesh noticed that Rojo named "subordinates" and wondered if he had not meant "companions". There were also points where Rojo seemed to be trying to frame the story to make himself look less like an idiot. In short, Gilgamesh liked the cut of this guy's jib! Truly a masterful storyteller, second only to himself! As soon as the long-winded story ended, Gilgamesh leapt to his feet and stroked his chin. Then, he gave his judgment.
"Hmm... that was a wonderful story... FOR PRESCHOOL CHILDREN!" Well, he certainly wasn't going to say it was good. That would be admitting that there was a chance he was as good as himself! "Such foolishness! You treat your companions like mere servants? And there were clearly some points where you were hiding how you caused trouble for them! And the whole time travel plot didn't even make sense and was ultimately pointless! Seriously, who writes that dreck? Now, you want accomplishments?! I'll give you accomplishments! My victories could fill entire encyclopedias! Now then, this is a story of how my life got flipped, turned upside down, so why don't you take a minute, just sit right there! I'll tell you all about how I became the mightiest swordsman in all the worlds!"
"OH MY ZEUS, WOULD YOU JUST STAB HIM OR SOMETHING?!"
Gilgamesh looked to the annoyed crowd and then back at Rojo, who steeled himself for the fight. Then back at the crowd and then back at Rojo Oh right, that's a thing he had to do. VERY WELL! "How rude! I did so enjoy our battle of words! However, this is a tournament and we must fight! And by that, I mean I'll tell you all my accomplishments WHILE I FIGHT! HA! I'm a genius!" Gilgamesh then aimed his gunspear at Rojo and fired the Pradamante. It was far from the strongest of spears but it would suffice for an opening attack. Gilgamesh then lunged at Rojo and swung his spear in a vertical slice, aiming to split Rojo down the middle. "I used to be the servant of an evil mage, borne from the evilest spirits bound to the EVILEST of trees! However, I never lost my sense of honor and dignity! While I was betrayed by that same mage and thrown into the Rift between Dimensions, I still fought the horrors that awaited there! I even sacrificed my own life to save the lives of my CHOSEN RIVALS! Obviously, I got better! You really think a mere Self-Destruct magic could end ME?! HA!" Gilgamesh then used Bitter End, swinging a wide, horizontal slash at Rojo.
-------------------
1) Gilgamesh used Pradamante to start off the attack
2) Gilgamesh uses a vertical slash with his gunspear at Rojo.
3) Gilgamesh uses Bitter End to slice horizontally at Rojo.
Pradamante: Gilgamesh shoots dark magical energy out of this cheap knock-off of the Bradamante gunhalberd. It explodes in an explosion of dark magic, but it surprisingly (or unsurprisingly, given Gilgamesh's track record) does weak Dark damage to an opponent. [Cooldown: 1 post]
Bitter End: Gilgamesh does a wide sweeping slash with his Naginata. Deals Medium damage to an opponent. [Cooldown: 2 posts]

Gilgamesh had quickly retorted by downplaying his obviously impressive epic tale. As if some overly dramatic swordsman could do any better! Rojo listened as the swordsman began to tell his own tale, only to be rudely interrupted by someone wanting Rojo to get stabbed! The nerve of that guy! The epic events of years past needed to be told! Then obviously mere moments before his opponent did, Rojo had an amazing idea. They would tell their stories while they fought! Gilgamesh said it first, but Rojo had obviously had the idea first!
The swordsman lifted his spear, and Rojo immediately felt a burning sensation in his midsection as the lance fired off some sort of projectile that pierced into his stomach. He wasn't expecting a weapon to be able to fire projectiles like that.
"Pah! What a cheap shot! Tell your tale before I defeat you with my overwhelming might!"
Gilgamesh closed in with a vertical slash that Rojo was able to parry with his golden blade. The spear was certainly heavy, as heavy as it was massive. It would certainly drain his own stamina blocking a blade that big, but the blade moved slow enough that he could attempt to dodge the attacks.
As he attacked, he told his own story, which including working for a tree...or a possessed tree..or was it a rift inside of a tree? One thing was certain, Gilgamesh worked for a tree!
"You worked for a tree? That explains your poor way with words! You must be hollow inside!"
Rojo tapped his temple with the index finger of his free hand as he attempted to leap backwards to dodge the horizontal strike. A fruitless effort as the horizontal slash smashed into his midsection. The Red Wizard slid backwards, feeling pain once again from his stomach.
"If that's all you've got, I'm not worried! Watch as my movements become so fast, you won't even be able to see me with your inferior eyes!"
However, instead of casting Haste with to back up his words, he made a move to trick his opponent. Rojo literally vanished from sight under his Invis spell. He dashed to the right as he targeted the swordsman with another spell. This time, a large spire of ice shot upwards from beneath Gilgamesh. He attempted to impale his target with Blizzara. He would take the offensive here, and turn the tide of the battle.

(Rolling for Summoning Enkidu)
KjbwbgXx1-10
-----------------
Gilgamesh nearly got the Confusion status from Rojo's insult, though he was saved by his attacks doing some good damage. "Wh-What?! I'm hollow inside?! That doesn't even make any sense! I have organs and bones and guts and stuff! Hmph! It sounds more to me like you're the one who can't grasp words." Gilgamesh was about to move in for the kill when Rojo did the unbelievable. He turned completely invisible. Gilgamesh's eyes widened as his opponent disappeared from view. "Rojo! He's gone! ... Or was he never here to begin with?!" For a beat, it seemed the whole stadium was contemplating Gilgamesh's existential conundrum. Luckily for them, the mightiest swordsman had an answer to his own question. "Pah! That's stupid! He must have turned invisible! THE COWARD! How are we supposed to fight like honorable men if I can't SEE you? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REGALE YOU WITH MY CLEARLY SUPERIOR TALES WHEN I CANNOT SEE MY AUDIENCE?!" Gilgamesh then noticed the ground beneath him started feeling a little too cold for his liking and he looked down to see a patch of ice form. Having been on the receiving end of one too many ice spells, Gilgamesh quickly dodged out of the way, only to get clipped in the side by the Blizzara spell. It hurt, but he could've been impaled like a cheap lawn ornament and that would never do. Gilgamesh grunted, thinking quickly on how to defeat his now invisible opponent. Then Gilgamesh had an idea. A rather sneaky idea.
"So, you wish to use your wizard tricks on me? Dishonorable, but I'll allow it. It just means I need another set of eyes. ENKIDU, TO ME!" Out of thin air, Gilgamesh's longtime companion, or at least a Primal version of him, Enkidu showed up in the arena. He was a green monster with feathery wings, screeching as he surveyed the field. He then awaited orders from Gilgamesh, who chuckled. "BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I do hope Enkidu will come to enjoy these tussles as much as I do. You, Rojo, however, will not enjoy them so much! Unless you enjoy being BEATEN SENSELESS!" Gilgamesh then surveyed the arena. Because of the surrounding sand and the fact that the barrier couldn't be up all the time, there was a thin layer of sand covering the arena. Just enough to spot some footprints that spontaneously appeared, disturbing the sand. As soon as Gilgamesh saw a good spot, he pointed out the location of the most recent set of footprints and yelled, "FIRE AWAY, ENKIDU!"
Enkidu took a deep breath and then, using just his voice, blasted a blast of damaging air at what was presumed to be Rojo and disturbing the thin layer of sand with his Eerie Soundwave. However, Gilgamesh didn't need that for now. As Eerie Soundwave was firing, Gilgamesh leaped high into the air and then came crashing down the supposed location of the Red Wizard of Light, in a massive Giga Jump. "Since I know you can't leave with the Barrier up, I'll give you some more tales. Before my misled service with one of the most evil mages in the land, I was a grand king of mighty people. The Black Tortoises, so named for our indestructible armor! We were unassailable, chosen by the mighty gods themselves. It took a dirty, underhanded tactic from the Militesi empire, using their Ultima Cannon to reduce my precious city to rubble! BUT I SURVIVED AND DESTROYED ALL ENEMIES OF LORICA, avenging my people and saving the world from their ilk!"
------------------
1) Summoned Enkidu to assist him
2) Enkidu used Eerie Soundwave to flush out Rojo
3) Gilgamesh attacked in tandem with Giga Jump.
Pradamante: Gilgamesh shoots dark magical energy out of this cheap knock-off of the Bradamante gunhalberd. It explodes in an explosion of dark magic, but it surprisingly (or unsurprisingly, given Gilgamesh's track record) does weak Dark damage to an opponent. [CAN BE USED AGAIN]
Bitter End: Gilgamesh does a wide sweeping slash with his Naginata. Deals Medium damage to an opponent. [Cooldown: 1 post]
Summon Enkidu/Enkidu???: Gilgamesh summons a primal in the shape of his ever-faithful companion, Enkidu, to aid him in battle. Enkidu is quite strong and able to hold his own alongside Gilgamesh. However, due to Gilgamesh's loneliness, there is another that the swordsman called Enkidu: a rooster he tamed and painted green. The rooster is useless, for it is just a chicken. It can only be a threat to toads, as Gilgamesh has trained it to hunt the amphibians. But really what are the odds of Gilgamesh's opponents turning into toads? Roll a ten-sided die to determine which Enkidu is summoned. [Evens = Enkidu???, Odds = The true Enkidu]
[Enkidu = 9 HP]
Eerie Soundwave: Using the power of his voice, Enkidu can cause a huge shockwave made of sound to hit all opponents in front of him. Deals medium damage to all opponents effected. [Cooldown: 2 posts]
Giga Jump: Gilgamesh jumps high into the air and then lands, blade-first, onto an enemy and causing knockback to anyone near the victim. Deals heavy damage. [Cooldown: 3 posts]1-10

Rojo knew he should have leaped into the air instead of running along the ground in an arena like this. Somehow, he obviously superior intellect didn't account for footprints on the stadium floor. The inferior Gilgamesh before him needed help to defeat the crimson mage. What a weakling! The weird thing called Enkidu emerged and sent a howling blast Rojo's way. It was a little off in his aim, due to targeting the footprints of where he was currently. He didn't account for Rojo's constant moving and the blast managed to only clip his backside. He still felt pain from the blast, but not as much as he could have.
As Rojo was worried about the winged beast, he forgot to pay attention to HIS OPPONENT CRASHING DOWN UPON HIM! Once again, it could have been worse, as he caught a foot to the back of the head. The result was Rojo going head first towards the stadium floor. He managed to use his hands to push off and roll himself back to his feet. He immediately turned and cast a spell. The ground around Gilgamesh instantly erupted into a fiery explosion of Firaga.
Then, just before his invisibility ended, Rojo cast a Cura spell to relieve himself of the two concussive blows plus a little more. As his previous spell ended, Rojo came back into view looking better than he did before he went into it.
"Ha! Your attacks did nothing to me you inferior swordsman! Also, you were the king of a bunch of turtles?! It's no wonder you're so slow!"
Rojo knew he had to continue to be aggressive. This foe would keep up his own aggressive stance, and Rojo would end up spending way too much time either trying to dodge or heal through his attacks. The Red Wizard held his sword into the air, and, as he did, bolts of lightning scattered about the field. This wasn't his strongest lightning spell, but a Thundara should target each of his opponents on the field with at least a couple of the strikes of electricity.
"Try out dueling that blonde barbarian, Snow, in a battle of pure fisticuffs! Something I excel at!"

Wow. The power of his Giga Jump WAS SO IMPRESSIVE that it caused a massive explosion! Admittedly, it hurt Gilgamesh, too, but damn, it was awesome! Gilgamesh jumped out of the smoke cloud, burned, but still on his feet. Then he saw a glimmer and some green lights as Rojo appeared, looking less worse for wear. Gilgamesh, despite all evidence to the contrary, was not THAT easy to fool. He saw the Cura spell animation, after all! So, Rojo liked to trick his opponents rather than act honorably. Very well, TWO could play that game. Gilgamesh noticed the Thundara spell and did his best to dodge that spell, still getting clipped by it just like with the Blizzara spell. . Enkidu wasn't so lucky, taking damage from the spell Immediately, Gilgamesh got on his hands and knees and bowed deeply, looking to all the world like he was giving in. "Oh, great Red Wizard of Light! Y-Your magic is so powerful! It's obvious that your skill and knowledge is great!" As Gilgamesh did this, Enkidu subtly floated to the side. "Fighting you... even with my trusted companion... It's... It's just too much!"
Suddenly, the Haste, Protect and Shell spells began to envelope Gilgamesh's body. He jumped up and yelled, "NOT! Ha! I lied!" Rojo would then find himself in Enkidu's crosshairs. Enkidu, somehow with needing a launcher or jet for them, fired a barrage of Missiles at Rojo. "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a fool! You fell for my trick!" Gilgamesh would say this regardless of whether the Red Wizard of Light had fallen for his trick or not. "You think you could fool me?! I saw that Cura spell animation before you appeared! Well, you're not the only one who can recover his wounds! Enkidu, I wish for succor!" Enkidu then cast White Wind on Gilgamesh, healing his wounds. "For someone who claimed to be the mightiest swordsman in all the lands, you haven't used your sword once! I don't think you ARE the mightiest swordsman or a swordsman AT ALL! Your bluffs and boasts are nothing but mere words! It's ironic that you proclaim ME slow since the quality of your insults would suggest that YOU are the one that's slow! Why, I bet that hat of yours, dashing though it may be, ISN'T made from the finest leathers but of sub par quality! AND I BET THAT FEATHER'S FAKE, TOO!" Suddenly, the arena erupted in a chorus of just "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!" being yelled at the highest volume possible.
-------------
1) Gilgamesh did a sneak and used "Ha, I lied!"
2) Enkidu fired Missiles in a blatant disregard for causality
3) Enkidu then cast White Wind on Gilgamesh
Bitter End: Gilgamesh does a wide sweeping slash with his Naginata. Deals Medium damage to an opponent. [CAN BE USED AGAIN]
Summon Enkidu/Enkidu???: Gilgamesh summons a primal in the shape of his ever-faithful companion, Enkidu, to aid him in battle. Enkidu is quite strong and able to hold his own alongside Gilgamesh. However, due to Gilgamesh's loneliness, there is another that the swordsman called Enkidu: a rooster he tamed and painted green. The rooster is useless, for it is just a chicken. It can only be a threat to toads, as Gilgamesh has trained it to hunt the amphibians. But really what are the odds of Gilgamesh's opponents turning into toads? Roll a ten-sided die to determine which Enkidu is summoned. [Evens = Enkidu???, Odds = The true Enkidu]
[Enkidu = 7 HP]
Eerie Soundwave: Using the power of his voice, Enkidu can cause a huge shockwave made of sound to hit all opponents in front of him. Deals medium damage to all opponents effected. [Cooldown: 1 post]
Giga Jump: Gilgamesh jumps high into the air and then lands, blade-first, onto an enemy and causing knockback to anyone near the victim. Deals heavy damage. [Cooldown: 2 posts]
HA! I lied!: Gilgamesh feigns surrender, bowing deeply. He then casts Haste, Protect and Shell on himself and laughs at his opponents' perceived naivete, whether or not they actually believed him. Haste allows him to use one extra ability per post, Protect reduces damage from physical attacks by one step (Medium damage to weak damage, e.g.) and Shell does the same for Magical attacks. [Buffs duration: 3 posts] [Cooldown: 4 posts]
Missile: Targeting a hapless opponent, Enkidu fires a volley of missiles at the poor sap. Deals heavy damage. [Cooldown: 3 posts]
White Wind: Enkidu uses the power of healing wind to heal himself or Gilgamesh. Heals as much as a Cura spell. [Cooldown: 3 posts]

Rojo was brilliantly dealing damage to the self proclaimed greatest swordsman who only brought a lance to the battle. What was up with that anyway? How could he be the greatest swordsman and NOT bring a lance to the battlefield. Rojo was almost willing to bet he didn't even own a sword, and it was all a giant bluff.
Just before Rojo was about to unleash another devastating blow, the warrior got on his hands and knees and bowed his head before the brightly attired mage. It seemed as if he was conceding the match. But of course he was! This overly dramatic warrior was no match for the expert prowess of Rojo, the Red Wizard of Light!
"You are wise to conc-"
Just as he was about to accept his victory, Rojo's opponent admitted to lying about the whole ordeal. What a loser!
"I knew you were lying the whole time! My foresight is matched only by my skill on the battlefield!"
In the confusion of this whole deception thing, that damned beast launched a series of projectiles at Rojo. They landed direct hits because all of his attention was focused solely on his obviously inferior opponent. The red mage found himself knocked onto the ground as Enkidu healed the swordsman.
Gilgamesh then began gloating once again. It was during that boast that Rojo was dealt his most lethal blow of the tournament. Gilgamesh. called. his. hat. subpar. quality. THIS WOULD NOT BE TOLERATED!
"You can talk of my swordsmanship all you want, but until you experience it, you know nothing of my expertise. However...my attire. ISCRAFTEDBYTHEGREATESTTAILORSINALLTHEWORLD! YOU GILGAMESH HAVE JUST EARNED THE TITLE OF 'ROJO'S GREATEST RIVAL!' I shall defeat you by any means necessary! You and your cheap knock off blade will bow before Lightbringer and my magical arsenal!"
Rojo then began the onslaught with another, more powerful storm of lightning bolts. Dozens of powerful streaks of lightning scattered throughout the battlefield with Thundaga. He was certain that the sheer number of strikes would deal damage to both of his opponents.
Rojo then, instead of dashing towards Gilgamesh, dashed towards Enkidu, attempting a dashing strike through the dog..bird..thing. After attacking Enkidu his blade released a piercing shriek as Confuse tried to disorient his opponents. Hopefully, the beast and the bladed-master would be confused into attacking each other instead of him. Rojo landed on the other side of the arena, and turned to see the results of his attacks.

On the outside, Gilgamesh acted stoic to Rojo's declaration that Gilgamesh was his chosen rival. However, on the inside, Gilgamesh thought eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Gilgamesh was entirely too excited to have another chosen rival, even more so that he was chosen instead of doing the choosing. All it took was telling the truth about his hat. Not that Gilgamesh was an expert on hats, but who cares about details, really? Then Rojo called Gilgamesh's spear a cheap knock-off! The NERVE! "HOW DID YOU KNO- I MEAN, HOW DARE YOU! This gunhalberd was made by the greatest artisans in Eorzea!" Gilgamesh yelled, trying to distract Rojo from his Freudian Slip. Then Rojo cast his Thundaga spell. Both Gilgamesh and Enkidu were hit by the streams of electricity, but luckily for Gilgamesh, his Shell spell dampened a good amount of the damage. Enkidu... wasn't as lucky, but he was still standing. Flying. Whatever. Then Rojo did the unthinkable. He actually used his sword... on Enkidu. Gilgamesh looked on in shock as his companion was stabbed, letting out a shriek of pain. Gilgamesh's fist clenched before saying, "How DARE YOU! AGAIN! That's my loyal companion! Perhaps this will teach you some MANNERS!"Gilgamesh then quickly cast two spells: Lilliputian Lyric and Chicken Dance. These two oddly named spells, if they hit, would cause Rojo to be either a miniaturized version of himself, much like Gilgamesh's previous competitor, turned into a chicken or both. It would give Gilgamesh the much-needed edge to triumph over the Red Wizard of Light. That is, until the Confuse spell hit him and Enkidu. The shriek rattled the mightiest swordsman's brains and he became severely disoriented, with the whole arena moving around on him. He waved his arm in front of him, which to him looked like it was leaving after images. "Whoa... Enkidu, you must see this... everything is making trails. It's so cooooool." The audience was a blur to him and Rojo was a small, slightly less blurry form. It was so... freeing, really. However, a voice called out to him and he wasn't sure who it was until he looked over at Enkidu and found out it was coming from him and his five clones. "Hey kid! Help, I'm a computer!"It sounded so unlike Enkidu. The voice was deep and soft. Usually, his most loyal companion was a lot more shrieky. Gilgamesh sort of just stared at Enkidu. "Whoa, you're a computer, Enkidu? I never knew! ... Um... what exactly is a comput-" Before Gilgamesh could question Enkidu's newfound existence as a machine designed for math, Enkidu interrupted with a, "STOP ALL THE DOWNLOADIN'!" Enkidu then looked over at the smaller scarlet target. He was also confused, listening to Gilgamesh going on about someone named John Galt. Luckily, both the voice of his oldest friend and the fact that Rojo was a lot smaller than Gilgamesh allowed Enkidu to cast Web on Rojo, intending on slowing him down considerably. It was clear that both Gilgamesh and Enkidu had the same idea of trying to gain the edge over Rojo. However, this confusing dialogue would be lost on Rojo. He would hear nothing but Gilgamesh mumbling incoherent gibberish and Enkidu squawking awkwardly. ---------------- (Theme only heard by Gilgamesh and Enkidu. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU8HrO7XuiE Best heard at 0.75 speed) 1) Gilgamesh casts Lilliputian Lyric.

Enkidu is quite strong and able to hold his own alongside Gilgamesh. However, due to Gilgamesh's loneliness, there is another that the swordsman called Enkidu: a rooster he tamed and painted green. The rooster is useless, for it is just a chicken. It can only be a threat to toads, as Gilgamesh has trained it to hunt the amphibians. But really what are the odds of Gilgamesh's opponents turning into toads? Roll a ten-sided die to determine which Enkidu is summoned. [Evens = Enkidu???, Odds = The true Enkidu] [Enkidu = 3 HP] Eerie Soundwave: Using the power of his voice, Enkidu can cause a huge shockwave made of sound to hit all opponents in front of him.

[CAN BE USED AGAIN] Giga Jump: Gilgamesh jumps high into the air and then lands, blade-first, onto an enemy and causing knockback to anyone near the victim. Deals heavy damage. [Cooldown: 1 post] HA! I lied!: Gilgamesh feigns surrender, bowing deeply. He then casts Haste, Protect and Shell on himself and laughs at his opponents' perceived naivete, whether or not they actually believed him. Haste allows him to use one extra ability per post, Protect reduces damage from physical attacks by one step (Medium damage to weak damage, e.g.) and Shell does the same for Magical attacks.

With the confusion ongoing, Rojo was in a good spot. The masked warrior was blabbing incoherently about something like Enkidu being a computer. He'd attempted to cast a couple different spells at the red mage, but Rojo's sheer bravado must have made them ineffective. That had to be the answer! One does not simply turn Rojo into a chicken.
"Try as you might you will not be able to change the appearance of the most magnificent face in all or Corne-"
And then it happened: A third spell was cast, and a thick sticky web covered the red wizard. Rojo noticed himself plump up with the Heavy status. Whatever this spell was made Rojo a fatty! This simply would not do! Now, Rojo was the one who needed the mask to hide this unsightly appearance!
"H-h-HOWDAREYOU! You have changed the face of an icon! Now, I will be reduced to seducing the largest women in the world! This simply will not do! I have to have a Remedy in here somewhere."
Rojo began frantically searching his pockets. He found useless keys, balls of lint, a broken wooden child's toy (don't ask), and, finally, a small vial. He immediately popped the cork on it and drained it, but nothing happened. NO! It was simply water in a unique flask! This is the most disappointing thing that could have happened to him! He would have preferred turning into a frog rather than be an overweight titan. The crowd, meanwhile, found a ton of amusement in this. It was as if this were a comedy hour and not the second round in a tournament featuring the greatest swordsman/mage in history! He quickly wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes before he spoke again.
"You've made fun of my flawless fashion, and, now, you decide to make me a fatty. For this, I will destroy you! You shall be another notch in my win column, just as your mother has notches on her bedpost!"
With that, Rojo dashed forward with his sword held firmly in hand, casting two spells as he did. Haste covered him in blue aura to increase his movement speed, and Temper increased his physical attack power. Rojo quickly dashed forward and unleashed a rapid five strike combo in his confused opponent. And to add insult to injury, he really tried to throw his new weight behind his attacks. He wasn't as fast as he usually is on a strike, due to the heavy status, but it was at least as fast as his normal speed. On the final strike, Rojo stabbed his blade forward with a thrust and simultaniously kicked off to create more space between the two. He hoped he was making a Gilga-ka-bob out of this cruel villain!

Gilgamesh was, sadly, still confused. He couldn't hear or see much of what was going on, due to how blurred his vision was. How he noticed that the red blob that was Rojo started to become a bigger red blob. Had he melted? Did he win? He was pretty sure none of the spells he cast melted his opponents. The crowd's laughter had melded together to form some odd cacophonous noise. Gilgamesh tried to hear what Rojo was trying to tell him but all he heard was WAH WAH WAH WAHWAH WAH WAH WAHHH. He did, however, clearly hear the words 'mother' and 'botches'. Seemed pretty odd things to say, but Gilgamesh decided to do what he did best. Improvise. "YES! MY MOTHER ALSO BOTCHED HER SUPPOSEDLY SIGNATURE STROGANOFF! I FEEL YOUR PAIN AND OFFER MY SYMPATHIES!" This time, Rojo definitely heard that, though Enkidu was still no less articulate than before. However, Gilgamesh heard Enkidu say, "Give 'im the stick. DON'T GIVE 'IM THE STICK!" Gilgamesh nodded in agreement. Truly, Enkidu's wisdom was only matched by his loyalty to Gilgamesh. A truer friend there never was.
However, the red blob suddenly glowed a bit as Rojo's buffs activated. Then he charged towards Gilgamesh, ready to exact his vengeance for his ruined image and reputation. Gilgamesh readied himself and by that, he sort of lethargically waved his spear in front of him. But, out of the corner of his eye, Gilgamesh saw his bigger green blob of a friend charge in with a cry of, "PORKCHOP SANDWICHES!" Enkidu dived in between Rojo and Gilgamesh to attack the smaller red blob that he thought was right in front of him. Instead took the five hit combo, screeching as Lightbringer dug into his flesh. Gilgamesh could only watch, poorly, as Enkidu sacrificed himself to protect his friend. After the final thrust struck home, Enkidu began to fade out, a rush of wind carrying his Primal Spirit back to wherever it came from. It let loose one last shriek before finally falling, which to Gilgamesh sounded like some very odd last words.
"GAME OVER, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Gilgamesh, even in his confused state, new his friend had been defeated. His fists clenched as a new resolve went through his body. He pointed at the red blob and his five friends and yelled, "You... You defeated my loyal companion, Echidna! You utter fool! But enough explosive banter! Now... it is time to fight like MEN! AND MEN! AND BOYZ II MEN! As for me, Garglemush... IT IS SPAGHETTI TIME! Gilgamesh raised his hand into the air and a flash of light burst in his hand. He then sunk into a pool of darkness that appeared beneath him. Once he was beneath its depths, there a beat of silence. Then the pool of darkness turned into a bright circular light as Gilgamesh rose from its depths. However, instead of just two arms, he had a multitude of arms, each carrying a different weapon, aside from his free hand. As the light dissipated, Gilgamesh stood up, his true power now in full view of everyone. The crowd cheered, as if they had been waiting for this moment. Gilgamesh decided to dispense with words and show Rojo just how screwed he was. Gilgamesh suddenly dashed through Rojo like a bullet, slashing at him with the Masamune sword. Gilgamesh then turned around and tried to pinpoint Rojo's location before unleashing a Sword Dance at Rojo, delivering his own combo at Rojo with his armory of weapons. His motions were wild and uncoordinated thanks to the confusion, but it was still a plethora of weapons being swung around and many of them dwarfed Rojo in size. Still a bad time.

Rojo's physical prowess had still only been felt by the winged beast. The beast stepped in front of 'Garglemush' and received all the damage that had been meant for Gilgamesh. Still a win for Rojo, as now he wouldn't be double teamed anymore. The swordsman went on to ramble some more incoherent speech. Rojo had heard him talk of his mother botching her signature stroganoff. Truly, the red mage felt sympathy for the swordsman in that moment. Its always a shame to see a good stroganoff ruined by a poor cook.
Rojo then heard something about Boyz II Men and Spaghetti time from the confused swordsman, and the guy up and vanished into a pool of darkness.
"Another flawless victory at the hands of ROJO, THE RED WIZARD OF WHATTHEHELLISTHAT?!"
Rojo screamed, much like a little girl watching a scary movie. A much larger version of the swordsman rose from the pool and, this one had six freaking arms and completely different weaponry! This monstrosity is not the same thing the crystal bearer was fighting. Rojo found himself wondering if he was substituting himself for his older, much, much scarier-looking brother.
"Ha! I've bested Marilith and her six blades with a weapon much weaker than Lightbringer! You're nothing compared to her!"
A split second later, Gilgamesh smashed the Masamune into Rojo's stomach, and the crimson mage reeled backward so hard that he actually bounced off of the barrier and returned back to Gilgamesh as if he were a yo-yo! Rojo barely got up a defensive barrier of Protera before the next attack hit. A thin white aura covered him and deflected the wounds, giving the Red Wizard of Light only light damage compared to what could have happened.
Rojo quickly leaped backwards, to give himself some room from the over-sized swordsman. As he did, he cast a Curaga on himself to heal himself from the bladed wounds, plus the missiles he'd dealt with previously. He was feeling a lot better, almost perfect if it wasn't for the fact that he was a fatty. He knew he needed to keep dealing damage, but a plan popped into his head. He raised his blade once more to call upon lightning, and, this time, only a single bolt of lightning barreled towards Gilgamesh with Thunder.
"No! That was supposed to be much bigger! I'M ALL OUT OF MAGIC!"
Now, to see if Gilgamesh would fall for his bluff of all bluffs.
