Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lights out in the arena with the moon appearing on screen. The sound of blowing wind followed by the laughter of Moxcy. This time; however, the sounds of electric drums played out as a tune that hasn't played in years. Black Water began to play out with Lotus taking the stage with a long stride to his walk as he moved along to the beat of the music for a few seconds. Walking behind him would be the tall video from his earlier video package still cloaked up and leaving the face hidden. The music of Black Water went along with his signaling of his new Rising, the old theme of the Eclipse along as an old theme of himself and Mystic as Dark Lotus at times. It was nostalgic which may explain why he was on cloud nine.

Getting to the ring, he would slide in with the giant behind him following suit. He was quick to get a mic and to cut the music as he was done playing around with his trip to memory lane. He was there on business, and he was there to give out more. The difference now was that he was finally live in person as Lotus. Given, he was live as Lotus during the Triple Cage, but that was for a destructive business.

"It has been awhile since I've stood before you with a mic in hand so let me hit you with the gods. Ladies and gentleman! Brothers and Sisters hear me now and listen well for before you is a legend like none other. The man that has done it all, won it all, and accomplished so much yet continues to come back to further his legacy and create something far more magical and breath taking like never before! He is the Lotus Eclipse!... Jay Blue Lightning." he spoke out his introduction before delivering his knight bow. Standing up straight, he would pace around the ring to allow the cheers to sing out and a chant of his 'Lotus' name. Before long, he'd begin talking with the voices dying out.

"As mentioned before, the Triple Cage was a warning and my vow to begin burning away the cancer that exists here in the WWFG. In the past, I've always felt myself as a guardian for this company. Someone in trouble, someone being done wrong? I'd see it, judge it, and act accordingly. From back then to now? Nothing really has changed outside of how serious I will be about this. Just ask my new Cartertree in the back. A perfect holiday decoration, if you ask me," he commented as he pointed off to the back and glanced up toward his unmoving, silent partner. For someone that's spent the past shows 'talking to himself', it was weird to have someone just silent. A shrug as he turned his attention to the crowd.

"I mentioned before that sometimes one has to see into the past in order to come out with a better future. Long story short, this fellow behind me is someone of the past. Someone that was once a dominant force back then ... and now will continue a rampage here and now. Let's call this fella the Wrath of the Eclipse. That's about all we need to know now as it won't be so fun as the spoil the surprises ... which is going to be quite the keyword when it comes down to us. Who are us? Who are we? Back then, we were called the Eclipse Rising or simply the Eclipse. Becoming one of the only carriers of the name? ... It's time to rise up. To those that have heard me over the weeks calling out to you? It's time to rise. To those that have heard me over the weeks calling out to you? It's time to stand your ground against us. Fight with us or against us. What will it be?" he asked the simple question before lowering his mic to await and see what happens.

He leaned up on the ropes with his eyes looking off into the crowd. No words, no reaction, no concerns over him. Just as he’s been, he was showing that he refused to acknowledge the existence of a piss poor tool. A glance to the side as a thought occurred which had him approaching the Wrath and speaking to him off-mic. After a few seconds of a back and forth, a decision had been made. Going back to where he had stood, he’d lean forward on the ropes with his weapon of choice in hand, the microphone. "I wanna be the bigger guy. I really do. I wanna continue on with this game and continue to pretend, but it absolutely smells like crap out here all the sudden. So if I'm going to be faced with crap, then I may as well bury it!" he commented before he would shake his head, a little disappointed in the fact he was given nothing worthwhile after all.

"To a reason why a guy like me would ignore a guy like you is due to having some decent self-respect of one's self. You see, I have nothing to gain in dealing with a guy that finds the idea of ... you ... being a good idea. I have nothing to gain toward dealing with a guy that plays the act of a pre-teen thinking adult content is the best thing in the world since an allowance." he started off his rampage with his statements targeting the ridiculous gimmick. "Of all the things to be hit with by the likes of you is being jealous for particular acts that should not be aired on national television. Possibly one of the top most successful people in the business along with one of the top, if not the top guy and face of WWFG, you would actually think I'm jealous? The fact you came out here to propose that thought to me tells me that you're the one that is jealous which I don't blame you considering the only thing you have going for you may as well be the gimmick that holds actual paid actors and actresses which I pray to the heavens they get hazard pay for even being three feet near your crusty a**." he stated before lowering his microphone to go limp against the ropes, feeling his disappointment ever-so rising in this matter.

"To call me a joke... is a joke in itself. Two thousand four, two thousand five. Magical years as it began my life here, and it's being called a joke by a guy that's only here out of sheer pity for how bad he actually is? Majority of people that would pull off this crap would not only be fired on the spot but probably arrested as well, but here we are! Only reason you may as well even have the freedom to stand out here is that you have the boss protecting your sorry a**." Lowering the mic again, he would push off the ropes and begin to pace around the ring in a slow jog, kind of walking away the 'pain' of this whole ordeal. A hand would move to his shoulder, the Wrath looking to calm the frustration building in his leader. A small nod from Lotus before finally turning to look at the man he planned on cursing.

"You have nothing on me, you have no value to me, and the ash you would leave behind in my world of paradise would only be toxic to the next generation. Your whole..." a motion toward him, "thing. Your thing that you got? Is as believable as Russo's ability to come back to relativity. Your whole act is as desirable as as restroom after the real Alpha Male, Bison, finishes up. I AM the WWFG legend, I AM the face of the company, and I AM one of the greatest of all time! Who are you? I'll answer that for you. You're a wanna be monster that doesn't have the talent, the mic skills, the ring work. All that you have left is a momma to go back to after this failure. So long as your family even wants to associate with you after this. Now... Shoo. I'm waiting on someone more worthwhile with my time."

Well, what do you know? Finally someone worth his time. A smile coming to the Eclipse as he took some steps back and gave a pat on his monster's shoulders and telling him to hang back. This was a meeting he felt would be far more beneficial than who could have come out. A first time meeting in the ring outside of the appearance in the cage, Lotus would see just what may come of this meeting with excitement building in his eyes.

"At the beginning of the show, I stated how I would be watching and seeing how strong the wills of all of our competitors are. Now don't get me wrong, I expected some low play just as you guys probably did with Russo and that match, but I didn't quite expect it to go to that extreme... but I've learned throughout the years it was better to over prepare, hence how I had a key in waiting," he spoke after Snypa spoke out his story and thanks. Those numbers were a lot, and could had been far worse by the end of it all.

"You guys caught my eye by how strong you fought and still refused to fall. What you guys did was exactly what I wanted to see. You fought with your pride against any and all of the odds against a tool that feared you guys. Zero confidence, zero faith... It was a calling I couldn't resist myself, so...it was quite the honor to stand behind proper warriors. With that said, I do hold some curiosity and I do offer an invitation. Now whether you accept or not? Doesn't bother me one bit as you guys have your plans which I doubt will interfere in my own. The doors are open to stand alongside the new Rising, or you can continue on as you do." An offer to join the Eclipse in the process of 'rebuilding through burning', Lotus saw potential, and he didn't see enemies in the crew he aided. All he saw was good allies that could stand with him or just simply continue their own ways without the interference of the Eclipse.
