Send in votes and comments, as this league is built by and for the fans. The end of week 1 features the return of the Mist Dragon to action, along with the Riskbreaker Ashley Riot battling a twisted sister I know too well. Ah Marienne, you strayed too far into the darkness.. but that is an aside. Next week will start sunday evening. Among the notables include the Warmech of Final Fantasy, the legendary mystic lord Ciato, and answers the question: Is Genshu really the biggest letdown in Samurai-dom? You've done a good job paying attention, students. Now here's Chisato to take you Behind the Scenes! Never again, Nate. EVER. NEVER EVER. You liked it. Oh, hush up. You were glad to have the day off and you know it. Plus it worked out pretty well, for me. Just like life in general. All the same, this sets a dangerous precedent. What if you replace us? I can't go back to secretary work at the colliseum! I can't! There's no way they'd hire me back! Mostly because you were fired... I wasn't fired, I just involuntarily quitted. And I didn't die, I just happened to start rotting and visit hell at the same time. And you didn't shut up, you just got a facefull of tentacle if you kept yapping. Now, now. Let go of that resentment and focus on venting on the guests! That's the spirit! Now get out of my way before I turn that Excalibur into the world's largest suppository. In prime shape, I see. You could call it that. ... Odin said it! Hey guys, while you were talking I was making a "Best of" clipshow of my debut as host, I brought lots of copies for all yo-SWEET HOLY FERTILITY GODDESS! Muuuuch better. Less chitchat and violence, more interviewing. Very well. The second elimination round has once again arrived, readers, and the usual gang here at Behind the Scenes is, as always, asking the contestants just what is on their mind! Beginning with Godlike, we have Zed- IT'S ZEEEEEEDDDDDDDD!! Ugh. Sorry, I have a way with drama. Really. No way. He's so drea-I mean, you suck, Zed! Ah, but you can never understand me. I am a riddle, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a devilishly handsome man... ..wrapped in a 5 dollar scarf, which in turn is wrapped in a shield that wards off dignity and restraint. ....And Ellen. Oh boy. Just grin and bear it. On another note, how do you see the match going? Eh, a few stat boosts here, a few decapitations there, no big deal. Lady! Battle is always a big deal, no matter who you fight. And I, Zed, will not be defeated so easily! No, but you will get your HP reduced to zero and run away like a sissy. You're quite good at that. I felt sorry for the poor humans, who fought so valiently against such tough odds, as I, Zed, am blah blah blah blah blah I'm sure he'll tire out eventually. Thank you for coming, Ellen. Anytime. Anyway, for Heavy, we have Kharg and Zera. Death to Deimos! Moth wings are quite functional! ....What? We're on a budget, people. You spend more on breakfast than you do this show. Anyway, Kharg, long time no see. Think you can do better than your brother? Well, of course. He's a Deimos. I see, but... Plus I have this kickass airship. I don't even need an airship, youngster! I'm tellin' ya, moth wings, people. It's totally worth looking like a nutcase. Well, I did have wings, but they were like lizardry and gross so I tore them off. That's pretty hardcore, champ. Perhaps we can learn much from each other. ....Learn? What manner of devilry is this? Have I mentioned I hate Deimos yet? Then again, maybe not. Riveting. You're both losers, goodbye. Snap. But, you see, my airsh- I SAY GOOD DAY SIR! NOT THE FACE! Good work, Odin. Get out of here, Zera, you're creeping me out. Ummm... Hey, let us have our turn, lady. Oh, fine. Well? Well, Mr. Kornell's nice and everything, but I'm sure my magic will see me through! You really think I'm going to let some punk kid beat me? ....Again, I mean? Yes. Oh come ooooooon. I've been training really really hard too. I just set things on fire with my mind. Mrph. Lousy little punks think they can beat me... Stop right there. ...? Being the angry bitter old man is MY JOB, UPSTART! So unless you want a mech in the face, find a new gimmick! Oh, it is ON! Leapfrog in the parking lot? You're on! Excuse us. Well, I gotta see that. Let's get this over with. Lights! ... ... Terrific. Oh, sorry, just lost in thought. Well, really, when you get down to it, this is gonna be a slugfest. And who's better at slugfests than me? Besides everyone in the other divisions, I mean. Slugfesters who can do more than a milquetoast regular attack without taking 2 years to charge up? Touche. But I do have a mustache. Face paint. Game, set, match. Oh, we'll just see about that when we meet in the arena. Been there, done that, killed some wimpy Luca Blight wannabe. If you ladies are just about done.... Come on! If we hurry Tony and Kornell will have just begun Round 2! 6000 Gil on Tony! I'll take that. Come, let's get out of here. This is the cast at Behind the Scenes, signing off!
