Welcome to Gaia! ::

Once Gen was carried off the stage the Announcers were back in business.. Well Colm was anyway. Shay left the booth to investigate something but in reality he was tired of hearing Colm rant about how cool he was going to look handing out the trophy. "Wow!! What an explosive fight! Too bad it's over because I would've liked to have seen more but that's life.. Anyway we have our winner folks! Our winner is-"

Suddenly the sky grew dark and the torch fire turned a haunting blue. An all too familiar figure appeared at the top of the stairs. The smoky black robes and blue fire air was a dead give away to who this person was.. Hades, god of the Underworld. "Whoa whoa hold up! That's it? This is hardly a tournament at all. Half of those fighters were just beginners. What this guys needs is a real challenge. As a god I can't just let you guys just hand over the title of Champion. He has to earn it so~. Allow me to supply the next contestant! Here comes the real Final Round!" The large metal gates slowly rose as a thunderous growl filled the air. Three pairs of red eyes glowed in the dark entrance as a massive black paw stepped out into the light. Soon the rest of the body emerged to reveal the fearsome Guardian of the Underworld.. Cerberus.

Cerberus' three terrifying heads locked their sights on Virule, seeing their prey. Their bright white fangs were bared, all three mouths of the mighty beast were ready to rip the poor man limb from limb. Each step they took towards the pink-haired man created a rumble through the ground and echoed in the Arena, causing the audience to flee for their lives. Once they were close enough to Virule one of the heads lunged forward to snap at him.

Virule's attack only seemed to anger Cerberus, mostly the right head. The mighty hound jumped back and raised all three of its heads. Thick black smog filled it's fanged mouths as it took a deep breath. Swiftly the heads bowed down as it exhaled the deadly smog into the ground. It vanished and at first it seemed like nothing happened but Cerberus had just unleashed a very dangerous spell. Dark Breath.. Small pools of dark energy suddenly appeared under Virule's feet, shooting it's power upward. No matter where the man would flee it would follow him until the breath ran out.

Cerberus's middle head reared back from the attack, shaking as if that would help make the pain go away. The three heads growled before standing up straight. Fire glowed at the back of it's throat, another bad sign of things to come. It stomped around the arena and shot out multiple fireballs from it's mouths. Aiming for everything and anything, it was aiming to demolish the Coliseum and Virule along with it.

Cerberus watched as Virule laughed loudly. It confused the large hound but it moved to attack again. Though the poor beast wouldn't have the chance to attack the pink haired man. When the Ogre slammed into Cerberus's left head it collided into the middle head, which then collided with the right head. A painful chain reaction which wasn't over yet, the sheer force behind Virule's attack sent the Underworld Guardian flying towards it's master. Hades had no time to react before he was trapped under the now knocked out Cerberus..

Shay and Colm were speechless at what they saw. Cerberus was defeated and there was no one else stupid enough to pick a fight with Virule now. "Well.. Go give him his prize, Colm.." The copper haired man said with a nervous laugh. "What!? Why do I have to go over there?!" Colm said, not wanting to risk getting killed. "Well.. you are the announcer right? Good luck." Shay answered before walking off, leaving the green haired man behind to present Virule with his prize..

So Colm walked down to the Arena and tossed Virule a large gold trophy. "There you go.. A nice shiny trophy. Inside you'll find a free item ticket and a Orichalcum. Uhh.. Congratulations! You're the Champion!" With the prize given them an ran off.

❀ Clare had watched the fight from the stand. She was one of the few people that dared to stay and watch. She did not expect the three headed dog to come out and fight, but Virule held his ground. She smiled when he won. 'He stood his ground and won. He's really strong. I'd still be there fighting for my life.'

Colm tossed Virule his trophy and he had caught it with his sword. Colm ran off. Virule had spotted her in the stands and he jumped up to her and approached her with the trophy. Clare looked at the trophy and listened to Virule. She could not accept it. Virule fought hard and won it, it was his to keep. She shook her head lightly at the offer. "You've earned it Virule." She smiled. "Keep your winnings." Hades and his dog vanished from the arena. Virule lay on the stairs and grumbled when the three headed dog vanished. He had wanted to take it back to his friend Fae.

Clare walked over to Virule and sat down next to him. He had won more than just a trophy. She had noticed he was in a lot of pain. "Cure." A green light washed over him. She hoped that would lessen the pain. "Virule." She smiled and looked at his violet eyes. He wanted to know her name...well he earned it. She watched his matches. She touched his cheek lightly with her left hand. She leaned in and closed her eyes and placed a soft passionate kiss on his lips. Her heart was beating fast. She pulled away and opened her eyes and looked at him again. She blushed. These feelings she had were a rush. She moved his hair out of his eyes with her left hand. "You want to know my name and you have earned it. My name is Clare." She smiled softly.

She turned her attention to her bag and pulled out a first aid kit she carried with her. She opened it and pulled out what she needed. Cerberus had burned him with its flames. She gently picked up his right arm and applied some salve on his burns. She bandaged his right arm. "This will help with the burns. I'll get you bandaged up." She looked at him and smiled softly. He had won her heart.
