Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rage is pressed hard to the wall by the large Apolo.
Rage keeps his cool, but has a look of lost patience. He looks eye to eye with Apolo.

Rage: (laughing) I think you'll find that the only one making a bad move here, is yourself.

Rage coughed hard from being choked hard by Apolo. The giant was on the ground from the hard chair shot. Rage just caught sight of the sledgehammer and brandished it in his hand.

Rage: Good work, girls.

He looked at the downed Chaos. Then to the twins.

Rage: Hold him down.

Rage smiled fiendishly and wrapped the sledgehammer around Apolo's neck.

Rage: (calmly) Now you listen to me, I don't like the way people are treating me here. Especially since I am your better in every aspect. Underestimate me again, you may never get up EVER. You want piece of Rage Valentine?! Who doesn't? So get in line pal, Rage has got bigger fish to fry. If it's a fight you're after, I'll take you on, any place, anywhere. But you are not on my list of priorities right now. I'm after those others from CTC. We can finish this another time.

Rage released his hold on Apolo. Kira and Yura stopped taunting Chaos.

Rage Valentine: Forgive me, I never introduced myself. My name is Rage Valentine, the greatest thing to happen to wrestling.

Kira and Yura held themselves close to Rage's side.

Rage Valentine: And these two are the Nozaki Twins, my very beautiful managers. Now, I don't know you guys, nor do I care, but you got in my way. We have our own goals right now, so I'd like to think you're the least of my worries. The Nozakis will be the next Tag Team Champs around here, and as for me, for the moment my only goal is to destroy Red Comet and others from the CTC. I'll also leave you with this warning, never ever get in between the Predator and his prey.

Rage kept the sledgehammer and the three walked out of the area.
He held the twins close to him and kind of hugged them lightly. This was kind of a way to say thanks without actually saying it. Rage was lucky the girls were there, otherwise he would have taken a harsh beating for sure. Apolo was big and strong that was for sure. But Rage knew that despite the ferocious giant's animosity, he had bigger fish to fry, like Red Comet, Killa K and others from CTC.

They were now on their way to Blade's office to speak about getting things started. Rage wanted Red Comet and soon.

*Shadow looks over to Heat.*

So. How long has it been? A few months, at least. Look, I didn't come here to fight. If I wanted that, I'd have gone to Blade. But here's the thing. I'm not proud of my actions from before. I just want to say... I'm sorry. Look, I know that the Shadow-Heat era has come and gone, but... well, if we're not a team, at least we can still be amigos.

*Shadow extends a hand to Heat, awaiting his response.*

(ok.. i'll ignore all that since this punk didn't read the rules and doesn't know how to backstage act so.. i'll do as nothing happen, im in a very good mood today)

Apolo watchs Bryan pass with Iron, he smiles, his partner is back and is time to get the fun again, he looks at Chaos and he walks after them, as he passes next Shadow he push him to the wall
"Are you crazy or suomething geek?.. the mexican retired last week.. don't get high so early in the morning...!"
Apolo leavesShadow and goes after the rest of the GoL

"No i don't.. i left that joint long before they started accept anyone who could say their name.. but i think they aren't important they are the leftovers, no more!"
Apolo says and stares at Bryan
"So.. how do you plan to gte the whc?...!"

A figure in a trench coat stepped out from one of the team locker rooms, stopping almost immeadiately as it saw Shadow. The figure paused, then stepped out into the light, revealig it to be none other then Pohatu. The light glinted off his silver trench coat as the cruiserweight rushed across the hallway to Shadow, who he promptly threw himself onto the back of, locking in a playful sleeper hold and giving him a noogie.

Pohatu: SHADOW! 'Bout time you got yourself back here you little monkey! How you been?

*Shadow turns to Pohatu.*

Man, I'm great. Took some time off for... personal matters... now I'm back and ready for action.

*Turns to Apolo*

I AM an important person. In case you don't remember, I highlighted BTWF and CTC/GWF for months. I was the biggest name in wrestling until Heat dropped out of my team. And I have had the biggest fanbase of all wrestlers in this biz. Now, since my time off I have lost a little fanbase and media attention, but it is only a matter of time until I claim the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship and regain my place as the #1 Sports Entertainer of all time.

*Turns back to Pohatu*

Oh, and welcome back to you, too. When did you come back to the biz?

*Shadow turns to Pohatu.*

Man, life is REALLY trying to kick my... y'know.

First, I am on top of the world, playing both CTC and BTWF fields. CTC crumbles, Heat leaves the team to join forces with my arch rival, loses the Gaia Title and leaves BTWF, then you come back and already have a partner. Geez, can life get any worse?

*Thinks, sighs.*

That's right, the first PPV I ever took part in is coming up and I don't have a match... the crapcakes here are either too scared or lazy to accept my open challenge... and my path to the BTWF World Title is blocked by a 3rd rate wrestler named Bryan.

*shakes his head, looks around.*

But the worst part in all this? I'm alone in this business, with friends but no allies, and my road to the Championship is going to be the longest road of my life. If only Heat had stuck around... we could have made up and reformed Shadow-Heat... we'd be next in line for the Tag Team Titles...

*Shadow looks up at Pohatu and extends a hand.*

Well, I'm going to my locker room. A lot of stuff to think about and even more to work out... good seeing you again. And good luck at ToG II.
