DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Wow, got here a lot quicker than I expected. Hopefully, I'll be here a lot longer
than expected.
Pop Khan
Mongol Horde
Duelmaster of Erinika
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in ERINIKA! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Too bad, BLACKMAIL, but MONGOL
HORDE was just too good to be stopped. I talked to ROUTE 73's manager before the
fights. He said, "We're gonna do good." And look at this: 3-0-0! Psychic, or
what! MVP award for EXTORTION? BLACKMAIL's proud of him after beating MERDOM LLEWES
and getting 24 points. Talk about yer big time losers! SQUEEZE got smashed by KHAN
D. DATE, and lost 10 points! And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's
habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome GAFFER SMITH. Aren't BAD APPLES proud. (Oh, my.) I
hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want
photogenic fighters for PR photos.
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? The warriors of BLACKMAIL must be getting lonely.
They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Hhmph!
What kind of warriors are MONGOL HORDE? BLACKMAIL, an easy team to beat if I ever
saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Can BLACKMAIL's SQUEEZE be more
popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. What a bunch of heartless! I couldn't
believe how many people were snickering when EXTORTION killed MERDOM LLEWES. So he
had a 4-5-1, that's no excuse! 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. ERINIKA is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
