Welcome to Gaia! ::

Not long after the epic battle between Lock and Jubei, the arena fighters had become restless all seeking a fight. In a bold and somewhat drunken move Lock proposed an all out battle royale intruding in on the already long in progress battle between Musa and Kai later renamed the 7 year battle of Hoshi Tau, however in an even bolder and drunkener (wait is that even a word..... well it should be) move Lock decided to let his sword Renyakeya, who was assumed to possess power on the same level as Lock compete in his place, it soon became apparent that this was not the case, it seemed that when unsealed renyakeya had near godlike power, it also became apparent that she was a completely psycho ***** who'd like nothing more then to **** everyone over in cruel and unusual ways involving gophers and inappropriate areas on the body..... wait hang on was that renyakeya or that german chick with the whip?..... either way I seem to have run off on a bit of tangent back to our story. Much torment was unleashed at the hands of renyakeya forcing the fighters to work together including newcomer griever who put aside his hated of humans and fought along side Jubei, wishing to inflict as much pain on the fighters as possible Renyakeya forced each to relive the most painful memories in their lives , Griever relived his tragic childhood (I think, it was sort of brief and it ended in suicide), Shadow was sent to hell and was forced to watch the death of his fiance at the hands of his Jealous brother Drake and Jubei was forced to kill all the others in the arena as renyakeya searched for the pain in his soul, she attempted to make him murder the love of his life as he did when he was first taken over by the demon dwelling in his eye, he resisted however and and broke free of her illusions, the others following suit, it was at this point that Arkos had joined the fight (he may have steeped out for a smoke before hand, wait do dragons smoke? Ya know besides the obvious) he could however have not picked a worse time, Shadow had set himself free using a combination of rage and sheer power and was left blind with fury and Renyakeya planed to make matters worse. She took the form of Shadows dead fiance Raven guiding him to attack his allies, Jubei formed a plan to break Shadows raging trance, long story short it backfired horribly, involving sushi for some reason and Shadow nearly wiping out every living thing in the arena with the mother of all kamikaze attacks, fortunately Jubei forced Renyakyea into a situation where she had to avert the attack, however in doing so she revealed her identity to Shadow thus breaking his trance. Finally Lock himself stood up and took a stand, he recalled Renyakeya, though there were several exchanges between he and the fighters as to why he was keeping something so dangerous alive, apparently renakeya had not always been so violent and she was cursed long ago, silence fell over the arena there would be no more fighting done that day, genuinely all the fighting came to a stop even the 7 year battle of Hoshi Tau reached its inevitable conclusion (well it had to end sometime right?)
