Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aviator by Audio Push ft Brandy begins to play as the lights in the arena dim down. On the titantron, a video begins to play, starting with a highlight of Drako performing a moonsault.




Finally, a single spotlight reveals the Soaring Dragon on the stage. He's dressed in the blue jeans and a dragon t-shirt again, covered by a black leather jacket and on his hands he has on a pair of MMA gloves. In his left hand is the WWF world heavyweight championship. He stops and looks out at the cheering crowd, a familiar smile on his face




On the titantron, more of Drako's highlights appear, including a personal highlight of winning the Deific championship, mixed in with strange images of mountains, trees, and a strange old wooden cabin with a single light in it, and an animation of a dragon flying through the air

"Making his way to the ring, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 200 pounds, he is the new WWF World heavyweight champion, Drako!"




On the titantron, the screen goes a crimson red as Drako begins to make his way down the ramp after placing the championship on his shoulder, ready to get the match started




The titantron images have changed again, as Drako walks up the steps and goes through the ropes to enter the ring




Drako steps into the ring and steps to the center. He grins, hitting a quick crotch chop to the delight of the fans before striking his old pose. Blue pyro shoots off behind him



Drako straightens up and hops up onto the turnbuckle, holding up his newly won title to the cheering fans




He steps down and turns to await the arrival of his opponent, handing the title belt to the referee as the music dies out

This is Drako's first match as champion, and it seems the old habit of fighting guys almost twice his size has returned. Such is his lot in life and he's not complaining about it. As the bell rings, he circles around, eyes on his opponent

Like anyone else does despite their better judgement Drako goes into the lockup. Kinda stupid but its a wrestler thing. Downside he gets shoved immediately to the mat. He rolls backwards to get back up to his feet, not surprised but not happy either

Drako is caught coming up and whipped to the ropes. He rebounds back and whatever intent he might have had flies out of the window as a shoulder tackle takes him back down again. This time he rolls to the side and to the ropes to regain his feet

Drako isn't that far out of sorts yet. He keeps hold of the ropes to block Rex from lifting him, then attempts to throw a stiff back elbow at his jaw to get the big man off him

Drako has to take things to his style, something he knows after years of continuously facing guys larger than him, especially here. In prime position, he looks to turn into a spinning wheel kick aimed for Rex's head

Drako would like to say that's a surprise, but seriously, a guy as big as Rex isn't going to go down easy to a shot from the Soaring Dragon. It's going to take a few big shots to get the big man down, and Drako intends to deliver. First, he throws a spinning back kick towards the man's gut, and should that double him over as expected, he'd throw another straight kick to his face
