I still haven't told Mom I'm writing Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Too bad, DARQUE FORCES, but OF WOLF & GIANT was just too good to be stopped. One team deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 1 after going 3-1-1. Keep it up, OF WOLF & GIANT! MVP award for HORRACH? DEAD SILENCE's proud of him after beating PEANUT SALESMAN and getting 23 points. Talk about yer major upsets! PEANUT SALESMAN's match with HORRACH cost him a loss of 24 points! Was that a tear I saw in JUICE BOX's eye, as he took over Duelmastership? And wasn't BRAWLIPOP fit to be tied! Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me! So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these really neat Spyreports can it? AVID FANS was STORMCROWE's most avoided team. Is there some award for that? I don't know what DARQUE FORCES' been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from AVID FANS, that's fer sher. Can AVID FANS' PEANUT SALESMAN be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same? For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out LUSCIOUS MALFOY challenged GATE KEEPER. After all, haven't DARQUE FORCES and AVID FANS had a long standing duel in STORMCROWE? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but GATE KEEPER wants me to write about it since it was subdued by LUSCIOUS MALFOY. Satisfied? Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All STORMCROWE ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. I was SO depressed when I heard GEKRUS got killed. He was just a kid, and didn't get a fair chance in STORMCROWE, or anything! Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.) Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand wash. I gotta leave. STORMCROWE is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! Its been really albendranius!
