Welcome to Gaia! ::

The lights dim down as the opening of Down with the Sickness hits. Fans light their lighters, cheers already starting in anticipation of the arrivial of the Unholy Alliance.

Oh wah ah ah ah!

Flames burst up on the stage as Jarel and Zarel Damone step out into view. the fans erupt in cheers, the die hard fans realizing that this is the reuniting of the two original members of the Alliance, a teaming that hasn't been seen in over half a decade.

"Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 756 pounds, the team of Jarel and Zarel Damone, the Unholy Alliance!"

Jarel and Zarel begin to make their way down the ramp, finally, flames still springing up on the stage every so often. The twins head down the ramp, finally reaching the ring. They stop for a few seconds, then advance forward and simultaneously step up onto the apron, then into the ring over the top rope. Moving together still, they move to one side of the ring and raise their fists as flames erupt from the turnbuckles and red lights flash in the rafters. Lowering their arms, they step back and Jarel removes his coat as the music dies out.

(I am assuming for now that it is elimination style with just our two teams. If it's not, we'll find out when tim gets back to me. I say start the match off going with that rule and if it's over the top rope or something, we can switch up the style of the match as necessary. i would also assume it'd be tornado style. again, can switch up as we go through if tim tells us different)

Jarel watches the champions enter the arena. They possess something he wants, something that will bestow upon him the title of Grand Slam champion. However, patience is a virtue. He won't rush into this.

To answer Jimmy's query, the ring announcer stands up, looking a little embarrassed at her accidental omission of information. "This match is an over the top rope Battle Royal, where the first team to be tossed over the top rope, and have both feet touch the floor, will be eliminated. When one team mate is eliminated, the other one will take their place in the ring."

She sits back down ,as Jimmy shrugs. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Come here, Nat, I'm going to need some extra luck for this one."

Nathalie Roth climbs the steps, takes the microphone, and then gives him a long kiss while removing his jacket for him. They hug, then separate, and Jimmy returns to the ring, taking the role of 'legal man' as the bell rings.

Jimmy walks a half circle around Jarel, just to limber up his legs a little, and goes for a lock-up.

Jimmy is sent back-first down to the mat, and tumbles towards the turnbuckle.

Jimmy can be seen fidgeting in the corner, as he gets to his feet, surprised at the lack of a follow up attack. He turns, and looks annoyed to see Jarel still just standing there. He walks over, gets within a foot of Jarel, and holds up his left hand, with it's middle finger outstretched, right in front of his eyes.

The slap connects clean across Jimmy's face. He takes a step back, but turns around, not willing to let it go unanswered. But he has something else in mind.

When Nathalie had hugged him earlier, she'd slipped something into his pocket. When he'd been fidgeting in the corner, he'd been slipping them on.

He's wearing a pair of brass knuckles on his right hand... Painted the color of his skin, to reduce visibility. With them, he aims a right hand at Jarel's ribcage.
