                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in STORMCROWE!  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!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
