"We are back, and just in time! It's time for Feral, the Beastmaster, to take on the famous journalist of Elympios and a solid supporter and attacker on any RPG party, Leia Rolando!" Paruko said.

"You can do it, Leia!" Celti said.

"Show them what you've got, Leia." Jude said. "Just like training!"

"You've got it, Jude!" Leia said.

"Well, I hope we have a good match." Feral said.

"Don't expect me to hold back just 'cause I'm a Journalist." Leia said.

"Let's not waste any more time talking! Let the 3rd match begin!" Paruko said.

(Cue- Believe in Oneself- Tales of Xillia)

Feral started off as he ran around Leia and keeping her within his line of sight.

Leia decided to take the time to cast Sharpness and Barrier, increasing her attack and defense, respectively.

Feral continued to circle before at the right moment, he pounced and bit into Leia's leg.

"Got ya." she said about to use her staff as Feral caught it with his foot. "Crescent Flash!" Leia called as she spun around with her staff.

"No you...don't!" Feral said biting down harder.

"Tch… You're a tough one to get off, are you?" Leia asked.

"Does a lion let go of his prey in the wild? He holds on until it goes down." Feral said.

"Leia's still standing because she cast Barrier to buff her defense, but it's only a matter of time until Feral's bite wears her down." Hope said.

"Still got more." Leia said as a swirl of wind forms around her. "Soaring Vortex!" Leia then charged into Feral, a small vortex forming around them as she casted him into the air.

"Beast….Ripper!" Feral shouted growing claws as he ripped the cyclone apart as he fell and bit into Leia's shoulder.

"That won't keep me down…" Leia said as she began to prepare another arte.

"Seriously? Is biting all he does?" David asked. "His attack pattern is a lot like the monsters we've fought."

"Its called the beast style for a reason, right?" Hope asked Celti.

"Somethings up." Celti said before she noticed something. "Leia! You're leg! Look at the bite mark!"

Leia looked to the mark on her leg, to see the spot as turned purple and was beginning to spread.

"What's going on with her? What did he do?!" David asked.

"The color and the rate of spreading….its poison!" Jude said.

"Cobra venom…" Hope said.

"Not all beasts attack with strength. They have to weaken the prey first before they can strike." Feral said. "Let me guess, you need both arms for your artes, right? Well, my poison's already worked down the arm I just bit into."

"Geez… For a fighter of honor, Drake's allies sure have dirty tactics." David said as Leia casted Cure to restore her health. "At least her healing artes keep her from succumbing to the poison, but it won't last for long."

"If Leia doesn't turn this around, Blade will be in the lead. We'll be one step closer to having all of Hope's progress deleted!" Nana said.

"Keep it together, Nana." Jude said. "I know Leia. There's no way she'll go down that easily."

"You have so much faith in this reporter girl. Why? She would never last in the wild one day." Feral asked to Jude.

"That's where you're wrong." Jude said. "She's already been on two journeys with me before we joined David here. She's a spirited girl who never lets the downsides of life get the better of her. I would know. We've known each other since we were kids."

"Spirit? That's not what makes for survival...it's the instinct to….huh?" Feral said before Leia grabbed his jaw and opened his mouth and tossed him off.

"Jude… Thank you. Even after all the trouble I caused you, you still believe in me." Leia said. "After all, I was the one that snapped you out of your depression when we lost Milla at the Zenethra." Leia managed to get back on her feet. "For your sake, and everyone else that we've traveled with… I will win this battle!" Leia said as she reached Over Limit.

"Oh… He's gonna get it now." David said.

"Here comes Leia! Spin like a tornado…" Leia said as she twirls her staff and tosses it up. "...and jump!" Leia jumps and catches the staff in the air. "Like a shooting star… Soulstoke Celebration!" Leia descends down and crashes down on him before jumping back. "That's my style!"

"GYAAAAAAAAH!" Feral said as he couldn't take the pressure and was knocked out.

(End Song)

Feral stood there with his mouth wide open as he fell to the ground.

"And Feral can no longer continue the fight, leaving Leia the winner!" Paruko said.

"Leia did it! Leia did it! WHOOO!" Fluttershy said cheering.

"Come over here, champ!" Hope said as Leia ran over and hugged Jude, then her teammates. "Leia, you were awesome!"

"Thanks… I wouldn't have pulled it off if it weren't for you guys supporting me all this time." Leia said.

"We couldn't take all the credit. We knew you could pull it off." Jude said.

"Thanks, Jude." Leia said. "Now… How about we do something about this poison?"

"Ah, we almost forgot about that. Recover!" Raine casted, curing Leia.

"Alright guys, were back in the lead." Hope said.

"Uh...not for long." Celti said as they saw Feral being carried off as Blade entered the arena.

"Oooooh…." Hope said.

"Here comes the big man." Lemon said.

"I want… Hope the Victor." Blade said.

"Look, as much as I wanna fight you Blade, I wanna fight Yuki. There's something I wanna talk to her about regarding finally casting off from Chill." Hope said.

"That will never happen!" Yuki said. "I wanna cast him off myself. And yes, I'm aware of the irony of being in the same group as him so don't bring it up!"

"Plus, if you do somehow win against me, you would win and not fight Yuki at all." Blade said.

"I'm willing to take that chance... You wanna fight me, Blade!? You're on!" Hope said.
