Ladies, gentlemen, and otherwise, welcome to the charnel house. Get ready for the rumble in the rot, the mausoleum mosh pit, life and limb in the loam...it can only be BattleCON!

In the red corner, the proof that metal never dies, it just gets weird and creepy: Throw up the horns for TheSoundNinja as Voco Astrum!

In the blue corner, hugging the trees that no one else wants to hug anymore, it's GMarshal as Kajia Septie Salix!

HEAVEN OR HELL? LET'S ROCK!

Zombie introduces himself as Bill. He proceeds to make a stupid bug pun, which drains a bit of Kaija's vitality into the ring of Hell that holds the souls of the bastards responsible for the book 101 Elephant Jokes.

Uh, why did I gain an insect counter? I didn't go past Kaija.

Anyway, Kaija is accosted by a hippie looking zombie. He mutters something about "dead heads"? Eh, he smells bad, so Kaija loses a life due to hacking at the retched odor.
