If you have any more, simply feel free to go to the forums and ask!** In Godlike this week, Dark Force has finally made its triumphant return. However, not all are so glad to see him. Wise Man Indalecio is back as well, vowing to completely obliterate Dark Force from the duelling circle. These two massive beings haven't fought before, but there's a first time for everything, right? Down a notch to Heavy, we've got another return of a long-awaited member. Pesmerga, the knight clad in all black has returned! His search for Yuber has thus far found no end, but he did however find Lundgren. The conniving and foul General will be quite the match for Pesmerga, but he remains calm. Lundgren hopes that this will not be the last fool who steps up to try and defeat him! Middle has quite the catfight! Anastasia's very name is on the line in this fight! She got beaten the last time she was in, but she will most certainly not accept that a second time! Shion has quite a few things she has to do before she can step down and out, and unfortunately Anastasia is someone in her way. These two delightful darlings are going to have a battle of femininity all the way to the end! All the way down in Light we have the master Taoist Zhuzhen versus Garcia! Both of these older gentlemen will have nothing to say to each other except for them to hope for a quick defeat! Both men have very different fighting styles, Zhuzhen uses potent magic while Garcia heaves a hefty axe! Can Garcia beat Zhuzhen!? Can Zhuzhen trounce Garcia?! Who will be the victor?!

As always, it was my pleasure to serve you this week. Please come back and see me any time, my friends. Until then, Chisato and her band of merry men... and skull! have a show for you in Behind The Scenes! Enjoy! Welcome to Behind the Scenes, the only show more violent than the arena itself. I'm Gilgamesh, along with Odin. And now, the star of our show, Chisato Madison! Hi! We've got a decidedly non-mediocre group to interview today, so let's get right to it! Wow, she sure seems chipper today. Winning will do that, not that you'd know from experience. Hey, it could be worse - he could be one of our Light guests this week. Say hello to Pikachu and Hrist. Pika! My lord Odin! I have returned to serve you! That's... um, great, Hrist. I thought you said the guests were going to be good. No, I just said they wouldn't be mediocre. So, Pikachu, how are you? Pika pika chu. Chu chu pika. I see where you're coming from. Any ideas? Chu! Pikachu ka pika, chu chu pika kachu. Doesn't that seem a little extreme? Chu pika pi! Yes, I know I'm hardly one to talk about anger management. Pika. What scares me is that I'm starting to understand him. All right then, on to Hrist. What does the world's worst Valkyrie have planned for her fight with Forde? Whatever my Lord wishes. I exist only to serve him. Stop that! I'd think you'd appreciate having someone show you some respect, "Moppy". As much as I love my minions to have a healthy sense of duty, sycophantic obsession is taking it a bit too far. I don't know... the idea of having someone wait on me hand and foot, doing my every whim... It sounds fun, but it gets tiresome. Trust me. Someone is disagreeing with my lord?! Do you desire me to purify her soul with my power? No, Hrist. You'd probably end up hitting me instead of her. It wouldn't hurt, you know. Exactly, and violence without pain isn't as entertaining. Speaking of entertaining, it's time to move on with the show. Our guests from the esteemed Middle division are Strago Magus and Shion Uzuki. *yawn* Is it time for my interview yet? Hello! Strago, please tell me you're not going to sleep through this interview. Quit your complaining! I'm not as young as I used to be, so you're lucky that I managed to stay awake long enough to rant at you! Well, your opponent's even older than you are. Yes, the Kraken is a fascinating opponent. I'm really looking forward to seeing what I can learn from him. How to die? Quiet, you. Actually, I find that quite intriguing. I also accumulate data from my battles, though I'm sorry to say that I can't adapt it to my own use like you can. Shion, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship. All right, but you're buying the first round. Well, maybe we can get more out of our Heavies, Ayla and Hallec. I doubt it. Hey! Ayla not talk exactly like you, but that no mean Ayla not talk well. That's right!!! Waaaaaaaaaaa!!! Um, Hallec, are you all right? Yes!! Waaaaaaaa!!! Ayla thinks axe man have stage fright. Ayla not scared of anything! You haven't had much luck in the arena lately, Ayla. Do you think you can turn it around? Ayla smash puny elf! I think I'll win, too!!!! Waaaaaaaaaa!!!! That's really starting to get annoying. Gilgamesh, bring in our final guests. It's about time. The catering in the green room was horrendous! Really? I thought I did a decent job. There wasn't even any caviar! You dare criticize my lord? I shall smite you! Cannon fodder minions. To see them is to desire more of them. Yeah, but it helps if they're competent. Ah, reporter, so nice to see you again. I have a name, Indy - use it. So, Deis, you get to face the only current unknown variable in Godlike. How will you go about figuring out what Deamoned is like? The same way I always do - bribery and genius. Of course. Why, Miss Madison, you wouldn't dare question my morals, would you? No, I leave that to your sister. Remember her? Tall, dark, and a lot more power than you? Humph! Like I'm scared of her, or any of her floozy flunkies. Myria says hello, by the way. Thank you. Not a problem. Just remember that if you ever decide to turn back to evil... well, eviler, I offer a dental plan and four weeks paid vacation. I'll take that into consideration. Odin, take us out of here while I show the snake lady that shedding isn't always healing, especially when it's done by hand. All right. Well, on behalf of Gilgamesh, Chisato and I, see you next week on Behind the Scenes! Hey, if I do my camera work but don't talk, do I still get paid?
