Find out what has transpired in this horrible battle, fellow Defenders! Don't forget to stop by the RPGDL Forums, dear readers! You can't miss the exciting new tournaments and discussions popping up each and every day. As a Defender of Earth, I highly suggest you make the forums your new place to gather and congregate! Now, as always, Chisato Madison the famous and talented reporter is here and ready to explore the world Behind the Scenes of the RPGDL: I’m still surprised they made that guy the new DL host. Yeah, it is fairly surprising. I mean, what about us? It’s because you’re all lazy freeloaders who don’t do your work unless I threaten you with launchings and trips to Penance’s Kettle. Did I miss anything? Nope. Right on the money. Yep. Can’t argue with the facts, ma’am. Now that we’re all on the same page, let’s begin. Welcome to Behind the Scenes! As always, parental discretion is advised, and Nanjo Entertainment takes no responsibility for any trauma, be it physical or mental, you might suffer from watching this show. And yet, despite all that, we’re still number one in our time slot. Would you expect any less? Well… I wouldn’t answer that if I were you. Right. I’m off to clean the women’s bathroom. Have fun. Anyway, tonight, our first guests hail from Middle: please welcome the automaton Tio and undead horror Lich! *cough* hhhhaaaaaaaaa… *cough* Yuck. Come on! Snap out of it! Of what? That thing is giving his kind a bad name – seriously, proliferating the rumour that all undead have horrible asthma is subject to… Launching? Not until I’m done with at least one question…or he makes me mad, whichever comes first. And knowing Chisato… Anyway…Lich, mind explaining to me how you…well, got that way? *cough* Whhhhaaaaatttttt…wwwayyyyyyyy? *cough* I think she wants to know how you died. *cough* Laaaavvvaaa laaammmppp…*cough* toooooo closeeeeeeee to *cough* stooovvveeeeee…*cough* …can we now? …yes. *cough* Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee… The air is cleaner already. So, Tio, why did you decide to enter this season? As the last remaining member of my cast without a match, it was my duty to fight in the arena and showcase my talents and reaffirm faith in my fans that I, indeed, had something to offer as a fighter. Sounds nice. Can we switch divisions now? The monotone kind of makes me want to fall asleep. It really does. So, let’s jump over to Light: come on out, Cai and Piccolo! I’m pleased to be here, Miss Chisato. The please is all mine, monarch. Now, tell me: what’s really going on between you and your sister? My…my sister!? She’s not really my… Is she cute? From the pictures I’ve seen, I think she’d give you a heart attack, old man. You, go back to fusing with your other half. Wrong Piccolo, and we’re straying from the subject now. So Cai…Merriot? She’s not really my sister! I think someone’s just trying to cover for something… Gee, I wonder what! … Alright, let’s ask the king a question he can answer: Cai, can you set fire to Odin in the bathroom? I can, but why? Like we need a reason to hurt Odin. Well, I suppose I can… Then go to it! Next up are our Godlike guests, Ellen and Jade. Haha! Hi. Alright, welcome both of you. Jade, will you please tell me why people think you’re an interesting fighter? Well, for starters, I am a massive bug with massive durability, making me massively long-lasting! And I have BoltX! Anything else? Who needs anything else? Yep, typical Breath of Fire boss: no variety. I have plenty of variety! Oh? Yes! I have BoltX, and massive durability! Few can take me down before I destroy them! …launch sequence… Activated! And there he goes… So…what about Ellen? I hear she’s a model. Model!? Where?! I thought Cai set you on fire? I gave myself a swirlie. …you disgust me. Ellen, tell me how you think you’ll be able to defeat Garan this week: he kind of does play to your weaknesses and all. Michael will protect me – he always does. I know we’ll fight against the darkness and triumph. So profound…we can’t launch that. So bring out Hugo and Lassic! I won a match! Yeeeeessssssss!!! …fast launching. Chisato doesn’t like his mother. At least she’s good to look at…her kid’s ugly. Hm? Well, what was I summoned here for? …wait a second. You’re dead? And yet…you speak and breath normally!? Yes, what’s so odd about that? You’re my new best friend! How touching. It is, isn’t it? Sadly, we can’t end on a happy thought, so I think… …oh no. Not the fire again! I’m not near a toilet this time! How is Odin on fire not a happy ending? Because he’ll be back next week. Good point. Well then, that’s the end, folks. Tune in next week and don’t forget to feed your fish! Remember, they need to eat too!
