Aha! You're back! It's wonderful to see you all again. As I'm sure you all know by now, you may view the Results of last week as you'd like.

**Importantion information for newcomers! Please click This Link to go to a post made by our moderators that should hopefully answer several of your questions! If you have any more, simply feel free to go to the forums and ask!**

In Godlike this week, Kefka, a man who had become almost as strong as the Gods, now faces a man many have called Godslayer. I wonder who will win in this battle of omnipotence?! Not only that, but Nate, a man who most didn't think would make it this far, now faces off against last season's champion! Luca now faces off against someone who has overcome possibly more challenge than he! Nate or Luca, who will you bet your money on?!

Sabin faces off against Elc in Heavy this week! Can the Martial Artist overcome the young man's magical ability to immune damage? Sabin has no Magic to drain, so Elc may run out... we'll have to see! Sierra and Jack will have an interesting quickdraw match. If Sierra goes first, Jack dies, but can Jack kill her before then?!

Agrias now faces off against a rather potent Mage in Middle! Nina will do everything in her power to off the knight, but will she be able to before a swordskill is beating her down? Sigurd faces Alma in a battle of magic-users with a defensive edge! Silent Lake may save the day!

Down in Light, Kid will try and steal all of Hellion's health before the old woman can Earthquake her into oblivion! However, Hellion has Copper Flesh... can Kid manage to steal a win?! Garet will fight Kashell in a very old-fashioned combat duel! Magic versus Fighting... which will end up the victor?

Our time together has drawn to a close again, my friends. Let us rejoice in the coming of Behind the Scenes, for it shall make everyone truly a happier person. Honestly, I wonder who writes this stuff sometimes... see you later, my friends.
I'm telling you, it's really Brazil's tournament to lose.
You're crazy! They have to be one of the favourites, sure, but there's just too many great teams to even consider them a lock. Take the English...
England?! With that hack Rooney?
Hey, Wayne Rooney could kick your arse even if he was pissed on Heineken!
The only way he could was if he was drunk.
I hate this time of year.
Not a footie fan then, Morte?
Yeah, the lack of legs doesn't really help my view on the sport.
We tried to make a soccer team in Asgard... it didn't go over well.
Well, calling the beautiful game "soccer" can't help.
If you hooligans could stop yapping about the stupid game, we could get started.
Oy! I resemble that remark.
Don't get upset, Gilgamesh. Chisato just hates anything more beautiful than her.
Which explains why she's so crabby all the time.
Well excuse me, but you didn't have a bunch of jerks singing Dutch drinking songs outside your house until three in the morning.
(I told you she could hear us from there!)
(Quiet, let's just start the show.)
Ahem. Welcome to Behind the Scenes, the television equivalent of an own goal. I'm Gilgamesh, along with Ultros, Odin, Morte, and our host, Chisato Madison!
Yes, welcome. Well, it's World Cup season, and you know what that means - most of the guests are going to talk about it. Yay.
Not you, too.
I'm sorry, but any activity that allows personal contact but also forbids it isn't a sport. And sliding on your knees, that's not "tackling", that's a dance move.
Remind me not to go dancing with you, then.
Our first guests are from Light. Hello, Kid and Kashell.
Hello.
Oy! Go Socceroos!
Socceroos?
Nickname for Australia's team. They don't suck, in case the cheering from a Chrono Cross character confused you.
Will wonders never cease. Well, Kashell, you're now one of the last bastions defending us from the evil of Golden Sun...
Stop that. Do you know how bigoted you sound? "The evil of Golden Sun" indeed. Why can't you show respect to others?
Because being nice and friendly doesn't interest the viewers?
Bah.
So, what are your plans for victory?
Come on, it's not like I'm a complicated fighter. I hit things hard with my sword over and over until they're dead. The only difference is when and how I hit them.
Hmm... your arrogance has receded.
I'm this close to heading back to Middle, sir. I won't let anything stop me from doing my best.
That sounds like loser talk ta me.
Why you...
Hey, break it up.
Um, chief, you do know who Kid is, right?
Oh, silly me. Carry on.
Hey!
I certainly don't miss that part of the division.
...
Not you again.
...?
No, the other one.
Me?
Uh oh, we've got a bitter "Light upgrader" rant coming up.
Shut up.
Oh, great comeback. I can see your lack of sleep has done wonders for your wit.
Grr... take this!
*sigh*
Tell me about it. So, you're one of the very few undefeated duellers in the league right now. How's that working out?
I suppose it's not bad, considering the alternative.
True. You think Silent Lake will be enough to take down Alma?
I hope so... it'd be pretty sad if I lost to a cleric like her with it.
...
Bah, you're just saying that to be nice.
...
So, do you like football?
...
You know, interviewing the quiet ones gets boring after the fifth time.
Indeed.
Want to feed her to Penance?
Sure. Odin, you take Heavy.
Really? Finally, a chance to do some real work.
Give us five minutes and a couple of dozen pints of lager and we could fix that problem for you.
No, no... go ahead and have your fun. Now, let's see who we have...
Great. I'm getting interviewed by the third-string team.
Now, don't be like that.
It's Odin. This is the Behind the Scenes equivalent of winning the lottery and finding out the the prize is less than you paid for the ticket.
Hey!
Well, it's true.
So, Sabin, um... (gotta think of a topic...) Ah! What do you think of soccer?
It's boring, but you can't help but admire the conditioning of those who play it.
Agreed. I know I couldn't do it.
Really?
Yes, really. Now if you'll excuse me, I have someplace to be that isn't here.
He's getting a big head now that he's so close to a third final, isn't he.
I guess. He does have the right to be a little proud, though.
Pride goes before the fall, as they say.
That's pretty wise.
I was groomed to be royalty. They don't allow for idiots.
Hahahaha!
Then again...
Ow, my aching cranium...
Now what did we learn, Morte?
Don't insult the person in charge until you're out of range.
Close enough. Um, what are you doing here, Luca? You're not scheduled to be on.
There's a big bash at Seventh Heaven going on. Apparently FIFA's finally going to let kaiju play for Japan in the tournament.
REALLY!?
It's about darn time. Screw the interviews and close up the shop, people - the first round's on me!
Sweet! I just hope Godzilla doesn't job like he did with Charles Barkley.
5 gil says I can drink you under the table before I bash you over the head with it.
You're on, oh foolish one.
Hmm... senseless violence and drinking. You know, I could learn to like this game.
Just as long as they don't go singing... Goodnight.
