Welcome to Gaia! ::

This match is set for one fall! Introducing first...

the lights dim slightly in the arena as the ever familiar chords of Down with the Sickness by Disturbed hits the PA.

Can you feel that?

The fans look to the entrance as all along the ramp mechanical torches are raised. The music is familiar, and the die hards in the audience that have lighters light them.

Oh wah ah ah ah!

Flames burst up on the stage and the crowd erupts in cheers as Jarel Damone steps out onto the stage and stands, looking out into the sea of fans who hadn't seen him in over a year now. He's dressed in his usual jeans and a sleeveless shirt, complete with his gloves but forgoing the usual coats or vests. The torches on the ramp shoot flames periodically in time with the beat of the music and the Dragon begins to make his way to the ring.

Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing ... in me
(Will you give in to me?)

Jarel makes his way down the ramp, stopping on occasion to slap a fan's hand.

Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes
Oh no, There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon ... in me

Jarel stops at the end of the ramp, looking around the ringside area and into the rafters.

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up
Come on get down with the sickness
You ******** get up
Come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me

The Dragon steps up onto the apron, eyes looking up to the rafters still as the silver Dragon symbol is lowered to the ring.

I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me
(Will you give in to me?)

Stepping in over the top rope, Jarel walks to the center of the ring and watches as the symbol comes to a stop a few feet above the ring.

It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes
Oh no, the world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon ... in me

As the chorus hits again, Jarel turns away from the symbol towards the fans and raises his fist in his usual taunt. Flames burst up from the turnbuckle and the symbol lights up as the fans continue to cheer. The symbol rises back into the rafters as Jarel lowers his fist and the music slowly fades out.

The Dragon looks over at his much smaller opponent and raises an eyebrow, but a fight's a fight and the Dragon is more than prepared. He watches his foe as the bell rings and waits to see how this fight will start

Jarel steps forward as well, looking down at his smaller opponent passively. He had no problem with the guy personally, but he elected to start things off anyway. Of course, he'd do so in a manner not often seen from him. He'd attempt to slap the younger man across the face. Why? Because he doesn't like the look of him, really

Jarel got the reaction he wanted, as he raises his left hand to catch Killman's slap and with his right throws a quick uppercut at his jaw

(ok, that seems like an attempt not to have to take a move to me. How is the slap suddenly a feint? that should have been stated in the post in which you went for the slap, not later after a counter, especially a counter designed to be rather quick)

Jarel is kicked in the groin and falls back against the ropes

(calling the autowin here)
