Welcome to Gaia! ::

The lights dim down as System begins to play over the PA. Smoke rolls in and rolls down the ramp. On the titantron, video begins to play, showing highlights of Marcus gaining wins over the likes of Goldberg and his father, mixed with images of a cabin, a figure in shadow screaming, and a cabin in dark woods. Now there's the added image of his new partner

You fell away
What more can I say
The feelings evolved
I won't let it out
I can't replace your screaming face
Feeling the sickness inside

Flames spring up on the stage just before two figures step out on stage, Marcus followed by Blaze Damone. The two stand on the stage, the flames continuing to spout up in spurts around them. A third figure, Adrian Amaya, joins behind them

Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
We'll be fine
Then your body will be mine

Finally the two Damones step forward, beginning the trip down the ring as Adrian follows behind them, intentionally not taking any spotlight from the two wrestlers

"Making their way to the ring, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at a combined weight of 580 pounds, the Syndicate!!!"

The two reach the end of the ramp and stop, their gaze focused on their opponents in the ring. Finally Marcus turns and heads up the stairs, smoke blowing up and obscuring him from view almost completely. Blaze, meanwhile, grabs the tope rope and steps up onto the apron, then into the ring over the top rope

Why is everything so ******** hard for me?
Keep me down to what you think I shall pay!
Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry?
Keep on trying I'm not dying so easily

The lights come up as Marcus steps out of the smoke and onto the apron to enter the ring through the ropes. Now in the ring, he removes the coat and hands it to an attendant outside, with Blaze following suit

I will not die...
Why is everything so ******** hard for me?
I will not die...
Why is everything so ******** hard for me?

As the music begins to fade, the two Damones stand in their corner, awaiting the arrival of their opponents. Adrian patiently waits outside of the ring next to their corner

Marcus and Blaze watch from their corner as their opponents enter the arena. The cousins had reviewed quite a bit with their leader before coming out tonight and they have clear orders tonight. Bring home the tag gold. As the bell rings, Blaze steps out onto the apron, leaving Marcus to start things off. Marcus waits to see who will start for the opposite team

Erynys glowered at Marcus as he sent his partner spilling to the outside and he quickly entered the ring and looked to retaliate against Marcus' bad form with a nasty uppercut.

He followed closely behind as Marcus was staggered and was leaning on the ropes for support. He measured his man, he aimed a big right hand, looking to send him into the far corner away from his partner

Seeing that his opponent was knocked silly, he would look to continue to push the advantage and looked to show off his strength by implementing a raised chokehold.

As he went to sink in the choke, he felt himself shoved back and then had his bell rung with the headbutt that sank him down to a knee and he shook his head in an attempt to clear out the cobwebs

The neckbreaker hit and he was sent down hard and he instinctively grabbed at the back of his neck, his leg bouncing off the mat in a mixture of pain and frustration.
