So it comes to this, my friends. All have been defeated except for the finalists. This will determine the winners and losers of this season. But who won and lost last week? Well, a quick look at the Results page will tell you! **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!** Ryu has soared through this season like a rocket. He has shifted and morphed through his opponents to stand here at the cusp of yet another Godlike championship. Chaos, however, is not to be trifled with. With his almighty Flare and Curing spells, he will be the last and most tough opponent Ryu has had to face this entire season. Zog is attempting to prove just how far his powers can get him. He was downgraded the last time he was in but is now on his way back up to Godlike. Rydia will be most troublesome for him, however. She holds the one thing he truly fears: Magic. Much like last week, however, he will use his durability to see him through. Even with Sylph's parasitic healing, can Rydia keep up? Peppita Rosetti is not just a circus act! She's proven in battle after battle that her skills are too much for the competition! Now stands before her Watari, someone who she should traditionally have trouble defeating. Watari is good at a few things: speed and evasion. Peppita does have some evade-ignoring skills, but will those be enough to defeat Watari's speed advantage? You've got a short time before this is all over! So please hurry to The Arena and vote, my friends! Remember to sign up at The Forums after you vote! We always welcome new people!

It is my pleasure, as always, to serve you, my friends. I shall see you all next Friday. Until then, please stay on the line for Chisato and her friends at Behind the Scenes! Welcome, one and all, to the greatest show on earth! Marvel at this week’s exciting and daring feats! And now, the ringmaster, greatest circus freak of them all…Chisato Madison! I’m soooo going to fire you. You’d have to fire the rest of us too! We stand together on this! Easily done. Ah, the love is in the air. Anyway, it’s finals week, and the circus is back in town in Light! Say hello to circus freak Peppita and the secretive ninja Watari. Ah, wonderful. Such an odd match-up in Light: the little circus girl who hits like a Mac truck, and the deft ninja who apparently can dodge anything coming his way. You’d almost expect it to be the other way around. But this is an RPG: logic doesn’t mean a bloody thing. Indeed. I’d really like to know how this circus performer got so strong. Steroids. Simple enough. Though, I wonder how she might have acquired them. I mean, she’d have to… Enough. First…Watari, step over to your side. Excuse me? Side, ninja boy. What exactly is the point of tttthhhhiiisssssssss!!! That’ll teach you! Ok, I’m lost. Kakashi went out on date with her. It lasted about ten seconds before he disappeared in a cloud of smoke. She’s hated ninja ever since. On a positive note, she went on a rampage and brutally tortured Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke for two weeks straight. I did society a favour. A large one. Hey! Don’t forget me! How could we? I could think of a couple ways, personally: CSI was on, need to clean my room, had a root canal, etc. Don’t be so mean! Get used to it, kiddo. Why don’t you go walk that tightrope precariously positioned above Baya Malay? Ok! Evil. Would you have expected anything less? Not at all. Shall we move on to our Middle guests, Princess Toadstool and Marivel the Crimson Noble? Aha! A return to my adoring fans! Yeah, it sure looks like you’ve got another chance at fame and fortune. I mean, once again, you’re in the finals, and with a solid chance at winning them, too. Solid? You mean perfect! This inept girl who keeps getting captured by that giant turtle couldn’t possibly stand a chance against a Crimson Noble such as myself! Really? She happened to give said turtle a ferocious beating earlier in this season. With a frying pan. So indicative of where women should keep themselves to. That’s a very sexist thing to say. My choice in weaponry is in stark contrast to my view on women’s rights. So the frying pan is a symbol of every woman’s battle against male chauvinism, utilized to beat said men over the head with? Yes. It’s a symbol of the struggle against all… Sorry I’m late, Chisato! I got that cookbook you wanted, “How to please a man through submissive cooking” … Why did I not see that coming? That’s a disgrace to all women! You should be ashamed! I’m single and getting desperate. I intend to attract something other than fat plumbers, thank you very much. Hahahahahahaha! I don’t have to take this! I’m leaving! Once again: who didn’t see that coming? I didn’t. Obvious responses aside, to Heavy! Zog and Rydia, come on out! Unfortunately, due to Zog’s size, and the fact that we’ve never actually seen anything besides his head, let’s welcome Rydia and Zog’s giant head! Hello. Mmm… Amazing. So, the two of you fighting in such an epic battle must be exciting! Eh…not really. Zog’s actually a really nice Dark Dragon. He bought me ice cream. Ice cream? Zog? Isn’t that…not…uh…evil? Just because I’m a Dark Dragon doesn’t mean I’m evil. Good and evil are too black and white to describe a world of grey. How deep. Did you understand all that, Odin? I think. Blue’s my favourite colour, though. Predictable. Now, we could do Godlike, but since it has two of the most boring people in existence, I’d say we just skip it. I’m all for that. … Awww…I think you hurt his feelings. And for this show, that’s getting off easily. From everyone here at Behind the Scenes, have a wonderful week, and don’t take candy from strangers! See ya’!
