SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to TRANSEL once again! Biff! Pow! TRANSEL watched with glee as
BREWHALLA got knocked off top spot by CHAOS KIDS! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings
always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, CHAOS KIDS' 1st moved
them up to 5-0-1 place. What's with OLEANDER? She actually beat BREWHALLA's THE
DUCHESSE, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at
CHAOS KIDS while they watched HOMER clobber ROYAL BEE. She lost 15 points and got
bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Try as he might, MCKINLEY wasn't good
enough at persuading SOLARHRINGER to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... I
suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?
Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, RUNE! The bums at
BREWHALLA couldn't face the challenges from RUNE! No excuse for that! How well I
know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, AMBER TASMANIAN! Don't make
idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. I hate going to the effort of writing
about the kind of fights that SLANG DU JOUR gets in. She fights people like
HALLUCENT, 9 points below. I thought SLANG DU JOUR showed great skill and promise
when she defeated HALLUCENT. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Warriors of TRANSEL unite. You have only your games to lose! SMURF-RAT looked
pretty sick and surprised when he learned RAT PAK is sending him to the Dark Arena!
Whadd'he expect with a 6-7-0? ROYAL BEE was plum wore out after HOMER pounded 'im
silly in a Bloodfeud. BREWHALLA'll have to get a little better before going after
HOMER again! PERTHRO larned his lesson (WILLOW taught it well), and we right likely
won't be seein' 'im fight any CHAOS KIDS members with the same gusto. How long have
I been here? I got people to see, places to go...
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...--
