TUG-OF-WAR: SPARTAN 276 VS SHARENA
“Here have our second Tug-of War! Between Lady Sharena and La- er... Spartan? Spartan 276... Oh, it says here she goes by Rebecca. Well, between Ladies Sharena and Rebecca, one of them will move on to face against Ephriam.”
“How many people named Spartan do you think there will be? Their family must have been going on a long time to reach the 276th person inheriting that name... Gods, how many years ago was the first one?”

Spartan 276: 18 (Trick-or-Treat OAK bonus)
Spartan 276 is determined to make a comeback, and when Sharena tries to take out her balance once again, Spartan 276 bends her knees and keeps a low center of gravity. When Sharena’s weight is tilted back in a pull, Spartan 276 jerks the rope, sending Sharena tumbling forward and tripping.
The crowd begins to rumble with excitement as the 4th round begins and they wonder who will take the day. Spartan 276 makes another go at pulling Sharena off balance. They struggle, at a stalemate of strength, until Spartan 276 squeezes her grip and pulls. Sharena falters and stumbles over the mid-line.
SHARENA: 2 SPARTAN 276: 2
“A tie! Chrom, how exciting! They’re in the final round, and it all comes down to this--”
“Sharena may not have the largest build, but she’s got some good technique there, even if Rebecca is countering her. Will it be enough?”
Round 5
Sharena: 16 (Trick-or-Treat OAK bonus)
Spartan 276: 12
It is the last and final round of the Tug-of-War, and whoever wins will move on to the semi-finals. Sharena sets her gaze and makes a plan. At first, the two competitors are at another stalemate, with the rope taunt between them. Then Sharena loosens her grip suddenly, taking Spartan 276 by surprise and sending Spartan 276 falling backwards. Sharena gets the last point of the game!
SHARENA: 3 SPARTAN 276: 2
“Brava! They both did so well, I’m quite impressed. Two very evenly matched warriors, but it is Lady Sharena who carries on to the next match.”
“Sneaky. It was a risky tactic, but it paid off in the end... I can think of a certain somebody who might like to talk strategy with her.”
SHARENA ADVANCES!
