Dear Defenders of Earth, welcome back! Season Twenty champions have been crowned, a long, hard-won battle behind them. But it's not over yet, dear readers! Several challenges still remain for our stalwart competitors, and only the strongest and bravest can survive! Let's go, Brave Defenders! Stop by and check outThe Finals Week Results for the definitive answer to that all-encompassing question of "who won?". Did Kefka take a double-championship, or was he thwarted by the unstoppable power of the mighty Zophar? Will Tiamat become Final Fantasy's first Fiend champion? I'm sure you can't wait to find out, dear readers, so head on inside! Next, head to The Arena, where the last vestiges of Season Twenty remain. The end of season team match, as always, gives the Godlike runner-up a chance at retribution, aided by the lower division champions, so you don't want to miss that! Also, it's re-rankings week! Make sure to stop and vote on characters facing a re-ranking pool: who will fall and who will rise to the occasion? Only you can decide, dear readers! And finally, make sure you take a look at the RPGDL Forums! With a new ranking season coming up you'll want to sign up as soon as possible to make your case for your favourite game! Don't delay: sign-up now! Now, let Chisato Madison take you on a whirlwind trip into the minds of this season's greatest warriors, only here at Behind the Scenes: Hello, and welcome to Behind the Scenes, where anyone can become a star! Of course, that's by being shot into orbit, but that's the price of fame. I'm Gilgamesh, and here's the host of our show, Chisato Madison! Well, it's the end of Season 20, and our four champions have been crowned. My first guest tonight is our Middle Champion, Tiamat. Welcome back to the show. Hello. Last time you were on the show, you had a special cause you were promoting. It says here you have a new one. Is that right? Yes, one that can only be done here. Really? And what would that be? I have come to kill your hired help. Um, what? Yes, you and the multi-armed man. It has come to my attention that you came to my homeworld in an attempt to ruin my reputation. Oh, come on! It was just a job! We need more than our regular paychecks to live. Especially after our medical benefits were cut again. That is of no concern. Prepare yourself for oblivion! Stop that! Take it into the other room, if you don't mind. Gee, thanks for your concern. Come along, victims. Um, a little help here? You'll find a couple of Dragon Busters under the carpet in there. You know what to do. I'm sorry I ever doubted you. Come back soon. My next guest is Ryudo. Hey. So, you failed to slay the dragon. I guess so. You seem pretty calm over your loss. Look at it this way. There are only three good reasons to kill a dragon: money, to save a princess, or to protect others who can't. I have plenty of cash, I got the girls, and it's not like anyone was in danger other than me. So what if I lost? I made the finals, and that's not too bad. That's loser talk. Yup. But losers don't get pummeled by your sidekicks. And on that pleasant note, here's our next guest. Hello, Gryz. Hello. Well, it's no surprise to see another Phantasy Star IV champion, since you're the unprecedented seventh from your cast. To what do you attribute your success? Um, well... you know, it's just eat-eating right and... um... Are you all right? Oh, it's a lie, it's all a lie! We find ways around the rules and pay off the judges to win! Really? Even Kyra? Juiced up on Giant Potions when she won her title! Demi? Covered herself in a thin coating of anti-matter Rune? Read from the Necronomicon. I see. This is unbelieveable. And what did you do? Pardon me? Well, if your story's true, then you had to have your own way to win the title. What was it? Well, you see... I got Estella to teach me how to lie well. See how easily I fooled you? Ha ha ha, I can't believe you believed me. Well, isn't my face red. Your face may be red, boss, but his eyes are more glazed than a donut. You know he's being mind controlled. Of course he is. However, that's information that would be more valuable as blackmail. Just act normally. Oh, and where's Gilgamesh? He said he was going to finish off Tiamat. I wasn't doing much good - I can't wield a sword all that well with my tentacles, you know. I have to go now to... hit myself in the face with my axe. It's for practice. Yes, practice, and not at all punishment. All right, have fun with that. Our final guest has to be the happiest world destroyer in the worlds right now. Give it up for Godlike Champion Zophar! Hahahaha! At last, victory is mine! I can't help but feel happy for you, Zophar. You really proved yourself this season. What are you going to do now? Celebrate and prepare for my defense. If the betrayer can win twice in a row, I can as well. I take it your hatred for Ghaleon has not lessened. He shall pay for his insolence. However, his destruction is secondary to my elation. Translation: Kegger at Zophar's place! Indeed. Well, I've heard of worse excuses to go drink, and it's the perfect way to end Season 20. Until next time, this is Chisato Madison, signing off. Hey, wait for me!
