*A brilliant light touched down from the stars just outside of the colosseum. With an audible plink, the shape of a mountainous man manifested.*

*Brad stared up at the sky, and then down at the stones below. It was... Hard, being here again. He tried to repress the thoughts, but even he still heard the laughter on the wind.*

*A finger lingered on his necklace. On the still-healing wound in his chest. Gritting his teeth, he pushed the growing desire down with a pulse of light, and manifested Right to Rule in a sheath on his hip.*

"HAIL!" *He announced to no one.* "I've come ta triumph in battle." *Brad paused.* "Once again."
Susan
The world had a more... Dark atmosphere compared to the last time Brad was here. Heartless were more of a common sight outside of the stands and the people seemed more despondent than usual. However, the Colosseum was more lively than ever. 

"**Triumph in battle? You must be here for the games.**"

A small blue imp would say and approach Brad, accompied by a fatter, dark pink imp. 

"Wait... You've been here before? With the knight guy and the blondie."
Roy
*Brad visibly winced at the mention of those two. His expression darkened, but he simply nodded.* "Aye. I'm... Different now. Reborn." *Brad's eyes shut for a moment, and his hand rested on the Right to Rule's grip.* "I've made a great many mistakes, an' to atone, I'm in need of greater power. And that requires a greater challenge."

*He gestured to himself.* "Even in this state, I've yet ta surpass the me that ya saw before." *Brad explained.* "Thus, I believe startin' from the bottom will help me break these new limits. If you'll kindly have me." *The air seemed to grow just a bit sharper as he pleaded his case- as though a blade shifted in its scabbard.*
Susan
"Reborn you say? Well we always can use more people for the games, so step right in!" 

Pain would announce and would lead Brad inside to the Colosseum if he chose to follow. 

"Since you're starting from the bottom, I presume you want to start at the Phil Cup and go up from there?"
Roy
"I'd like that." *Brad nodded in agreement.* "But throw a surprise 're two my way anyhow." *The shadows lingering on his face vanished, grateful they didn't press. Instead, a wry grin crossed his face, eyes shut in a contemplative calm.*

"After all, for robbing the guests of their smiles..." *He clenched a fist.* "It'd only be right of me ta give them back thricefold."

*And barely a whisper, he added- "To free them."*
Susan
"A couple of surprises huh? I'm sure we could work something in. We got some new additions that we can throw in. With all the world's acting up like this, stronger and stronger beasts are being born and surviving. Now, step through here and we'll start round 1 of the Phil Cup."

Pain paid no mind to what Brad said, writing it off as simple entertainment. If Brad went through Round 1 would begin.
