Optional Tournament Final Match: TEAM Vs. The Horsemen of Apokolips
TEAM is Yogurt, Futar #7 & 8, Valkyrie #12 & 13, Tlielaxlu Master #7 & 8, & Animal.
The Horsemen of Apokolips are Phoenix, Dark Jedi Master #2, Amazon #18, & Miss Piggy.
“I don’t think this is a good idea Josh“? Nick says to his cousin just outside of the lower level men’s bathroom. Josh says nothing but Alyssa answers for him: “Don’t worry Nick, we’ve thought of everything”. “But we’ve never brought that many people upstairs before at the same time, I think it’s suicide, I mean 10 people…. All at the same time, we’re going to get busted for sure”. “Don’t be a wuss, if I’m going up there with you kids, then we better make it worth it” says Jake the oldest cousin going on the mission. Jake was reluctant to go up at all considering that he originally said that he was retired from the upstairs trips at the beginning of the day, but it’s hard to not go upstairs at least once at the hall; so it really only took Josh & Alyssa a few minutes to convince him to come up. As Jake finishes this statement the cousins creep over to the elevator where Nick and Eddie stand in front to block the view from the parents, once they are in position Josh nods to Kristopher who pushes the button for the elevator. The door opens immediately do to the fact that Alyssa went up the stairs and sent the elevator down to the first floor a couple of minutes ago. This solo mission was executed swiftly and perfectly (per usual, Alyssa has always been a great soldier). As the elevator door opens, Jake, Josh, Nick, Alyssa, Julie, Shannon, Kristopher, Eddie, Mary, & even Richard (what is he like 5 years old or something) pile into the elevator. Not one of the cousins is good enough at math to figure out whether or not the 10 cousins are breaking the weight limit for the elevator, but we just assume that we are (it adds more danger to the mission that way). The elevator door opens just as the lady from the bar is walking out of sight past the stairway “that was to close” says Nick to a giggling Eddie. Alyssa puts her hand up and says: “Do you hear that noise, I think it‘s coming from the other hall”. “I’ll check it out” says Kristopher in his usual hasty fashion. “Hang on, we’ll cover you” says Josh, as him and Alyssa move into position; but Kris doesn’t listen and runs ahead of them anyway. Kris then opens up the double doors as Jake moves down the hallway to make sure all of the office doors are closed. Kristopher, who is not at all easily scared instantly shuts the door and says: “Holy S**t, there are a ton of people in there, and D**n are they weird looking”. Just then the doors blow open and knocks down most of the cousins just from the shear force. The cousins scatter as 11 combatants and a grayish looking dead body are revealed. A woman in a bright red costume, a dark cloaked individual, and 6’ 5” tall woman and well I don’t even want to say it, but it looked like Miss Piggy to me back up to the stairs to regain their fighting posture. Josh yells: “take cover” to his cousins who follow him into the dark upstairs hall and onto the stage. Even as they run into the room they are followed back in by the combatants who pay little attention to the kids that are witnessing their epic mini-battle. Mary & Nick are the first one’s into the small room off the right side of the stage. Eddie and his little brother Richard are next into the room, and the rest of the cousins follow, but as Josh tries to close the door behind them, the huge chick throws this huge hairy dude into the door which makes it impossible to close. Miss Piggy karate chops Animal but then gets knocked onto the stage by one of the stealthy woman warriors from the other strike force. Yogurt attacks Dark Jedi Master #2, but the DJM quickly evades. Yogurt then loses his one hit point from a lightsaber strike. Watching from the still open door of the room off the stage, the cousins witness the 2 smaller, but obviously faster women take out the taller woman with their knives. The cousins are all scared but excited as they have definitely gotten all the adventure that they expected from their upstairs journey. The chick in the red bodysuit blasts the other hairy dude with some flames to completely torch him. The 2 Valkyrie spin around the Dark Jedi Master and end up sticking him in the chest with their Bene Gesserit blades. Josh, Alyssa, & Jake run out of the room to move the hairy disgusting body away from the door so it can be shut, but as they are about to close the door Miss Piggy runs into the room with them. “We better take cover” yells the pig as the cousins begin to close the door. As the door closes the cousins inside see the girl in red start going crazy shooting fire everywhere. The 2 Valkyrie and Animal manage to dodge the attacks and get in close to return this battle to a melee one. Valkyrie #12 inflicts a fairly deep wound to the side of her opponent while Valkyrie #13 throws Animal onto her back so he can begin chewing on the neck of the outnumbered mutant. Phoenix can feel that she is defeated, but just because her physical body is about to die, doesn’t mean that there aren’t other forces at work. From inside the little room atop the stage Miss Piggy yells “trust me you crazy Pollocks! Shut that door“! Julie & Shannon pull closed the door just in time while Rachel Summers unleashes the Phoenix force from her body. Every person outside of the stage room are vaporized by the cosmic heat that is released by this action. It is unclear how the entire building and every person in it were not destroyed by this phenomenon or how the young cousins were protected from this blast in the nearby room. I guess there really is just something magical about The Hall.
THE HORSEMEN OF APOKOLIPS ARE VICTORIOUS!

Season 3 Draft Rules
The Season 3 Draft will take place this Saturday Feb. 13th at the humble abode of your friendly neighborhood Fantasy Fantasy League Comissioner. The Rules are as follows.
-There will be 32 rounds in the draft. No team owner is required to draft any longer than they wish. If at any time you wish to be done with your draft you can be done.
-Your first Round draft pick is undroppable and is untradable for 2 seasons.
-Your 2nd-5th round picks are undroppable for all of season 3.
-When drafting commons you may take 100% of the total number available only in the first 2 rounds.
-In round 3 up to 75% of the total number can be taken.
-In round 4 up to 67% of the total number can be taken.
-In round 5 and in all the following rounds only 50% of the total number can be taken.
-You will be given a total of 5 off-list picks (characters that are not on the list). These are all subject to the apporval of the comissioner. If you are unsure if your off-list picks will gain approval you may seek pre-approval by contacting the comissioner before Saturday. I will be glad to help out anyone, and I will of course not divulge the information to any other FFL member.
-One of your 5 off-list picks can be a group pick. There is no limit to how big or small the group must be, but for this pick I highly suggest you talk with the comissioner in some way so the group can be validated.
-The rest of your off-list picks are all single characters.
-2 of these 4 picks may be zombies. Every owner has the rights to 2 zombies. Zombies can be any character off of the FFL Graveyard only.
-The other 2 off-list picks are just single characters from anything at all.
-If you do not have a group that you wish to use for your group off-list pick and would prefer to pick 4 single characters and then use your group pick for both of your zombies, this is permitted as well.
-Any unused zombies will be used at the end of the draft by whoever is still there in person.
-The draft begins at 12:00 PM but if you wish to get there early to go over anything with me that is fine. I simply ask that if you do wish to have "face time" with the comissioner on Saturday that you do get here early.
-This year, in an effort to both speed up the draft & make the league more efficient I am going to ask all owners to aside from filling out sheets for their own purposes to fill out one for the league as well. This will not entail anything more than simply writing down your pick a second time in a designated notebook.
-Thank you all very much, and if there are any questions or anything at all that I can help you with than please do not hesitate to contact me.
-Josh

The Horsemen of Apokolips Vs. Pop-Superstar Hannah Montana & President Barack Obama's "Best of Both Worlds" Touring Battalion of Commandos (Team 2)
The Horsemen of Apokolips are Elrond, Dementor #17 & 18, Amazon #18, Droideka #7, & Miss Piggy.
Pop-Superstar Hannah Montana & President Barack Obama’s “Best of Both Worlds” Touring Battalion of Commandos is Harry Potter, Jedi Master #24, Sardakaur #14, Gungan #9 & 10, & Doozer #13.
Both of the teams are instantly transported to what all Zacharski cousins at the hall simply refer to as “upstairs” (you know the area with the couch). This of course is really just a lobby off of the main floor entrance, but that doesn’t really matter right now. Dementor #17 remains somewhat invisible and flies high above both teams, but Harry instantly spots Dementor #18 and yells Expecto Patronum as he points his wand at The Dementor to take him out. Dementor #17 swoops down and takes the soul of Gungan #10 before Harry can use the Expecto Patronum spell once again to destroy the second Dementor as well. Droideka #7 does not even notice that he is rolling over Doozer #13 before he stops to shoot Gungan #9. Miss Piggy valiantly jumps onto the back of Sardakaur #14 who is taken off guard by the Muppet. Miss Piggy gets cut on the wrist by The Sardakaur’s strand of wire hair and is then thrown to the ground. The Sardakaur pulls out his lasgun and aims it at Miss Piggy who covers her snout, but she is saved in the nick of time by Amazon #18, who clubs the Terror Troop in the head with, well a club. Miss Piggy looks up at her savior, but before she can thank her The Amazon picks her up and says “us girls got to stick together, now lets go”. Jedi Master #24 is keeping Droideka #7 at bay while he blocks the droid’s blaster bolts with his lightsaber. The Jedi yells to his young captain: “I can keep him held back, but I can’t take him out until he starts rolling”. Capt. Harry replies with: “No problem Master Jedi” as he waves his wand and makes the Droideka start rolling backwards. The spell did not actually take over the mechanized creation that is the Destroyer Droid but it sent it backward enough that the droid reverted into its rolling mode which of course it must deactivate its shield to do. Jedi Master #24 then uses his Jedi speed burst to rush in and finish off the droid before it can get back into attack mode. The Jedi Master is now behind the couch where he finds himself toe to toe with Elrond. Elrond seems to be a better swordsmen then the Jedi (he does have a couple thousand years more practice under his belt), but the Jedi’s superior weapon does majorly damage Elrond’s Elven sword. Elrond throws down his long sword, but in doing so uses the act as a distraction and spins around quickly while he pulls out his Elven Knife and sticks it into the gut of Jedi Master #24. Harry is quite enraged at the death of the teammate that he has been thru so much with; thru the course of this tournament and jumps into action. He knocks both Miss Piggy and her amazon friend to the side on his way to Elrond who he attacks with every attack spell he can muster. Elrond resheathes his curved Elven Knife and uses some magic of his own. Elrond knows that his own power is significant, and is shocked to find that his magic is not as powerful as that of this human boys. Elrond does not know what to do nest so he pulls his Elven Knife back out and begins to charge. But as if he has the force Harry merely puts out his hand and uses magic to suck the fallen Jedi Master #24’s lightsaber into his palm like so many lightsabers have been picked up over the centuries and says: “Fine with me Elf-Lord, we can do this however you want”. As he says this, the young Commando Captain sticks the green lightsaber of his friend, Jedi Master #24 into the chest of Elrond of Rivendale. Harry gets a hint of satisfaction in this act of revenge and barely notices that Elrond’s knife just barely grazes his right hand which is holding his wand. This causes the young wizard to drop the wand for just a second. Harry is not badly injured by this and quickly turns off the lightsaber and reaches for his wand; but while he is doing this he is hit in the back, not by a weapon or projectile but by Miss Piggy who was just thrown at him by Amazon #18. Harry is knocked even further away from his wand, and as he lay on the ground wrestling with the pig, the fierce Amazon #18 rushes toward the 2 and grabs Harry by the neck. Harry musters up some magic, despite being wandless but as his wand is flying to his hand he hears the sound of his own neck breaking in the strong hands of Amazon #18.

Elrond seems to be a better swordsmen then the Jedi (he does have a couple thousand years more practice under his belt), but the Jedi’s superior weapon does majorly damage Elrond’s Elven sword. Elrond throws down his long sword, but in doing so uses the act as a distraction and spins around quickly while he pulls out his Elven Knife and sticks it into the gut of Jedi Master #24. Harry is quite enraged at the death of the teammate that he has been thru so much with; thru the course of this tournament and jumps into action. He knocks both Miss Piggy and her amazon friend to the side on his way to Elrond who he attacks with every attack spell he can muster. Elrond resheathes his curved Elven Knife and uses some magic of his own. Elrond knows that his own power is significant, and is shocked to find that his magic is not as powerful as that of this human boys. Elrond does not know what to do nest so he pulls his Elven Knife back out and begins to charge. But as if he has the force Harry merely puts out his hand and uses magic to suck the fallen Jedi Master #24’s lightsaber into his palm like so many lightsabers have been picked up over the centuries and says: “Fine with me Elf-Lord, we can do this however you want”. As he says this, the young Commando Captain sticks the green lightsaber of his friend, Jedi Master #24 into the chest of Elrond of Rivendale. Harry gets a hint of satisfaction in this act of revenge and barely notices that Elrond’s knife just barely grazes his right hand which is holding his wand. This causes the young wizard to drop the wand for just a second. Harry is not badly injured by this and quickly turns off the lightsaber and reaches for his wand; but while he is doing this he is hit in the back, not by a weapon or projectile but by Miss Piggy who was just thrown at him by Amazon #18. Harry is knocked even further away from his wand, and as he lay on the ground wrestling with the pig, the fierce Amazon #18 rushes toward the 2 and grabs Harry by the neck. Harry musters up some magic, despite being wandless but as his wand is flying to his hand he hears the sound of his own neck breaking in the strong hands of Amazon #18.

Pop-Superstar Hannah Montana & President Barack Obama's "Best of Both Worlds" Touring Battalion of Commandos (Team 1) Vs. TEAM (Team 3)
Pop-Superstar Hannah Montana & President Barack Obama’s “Best of Both Worlds” Touring Battalion of Commandos is Vorian Atreides, Jedi Master #21 & 22, Gungan #1 & 5, & The Map.
TEAM is The Kurgan, Futar #5 & 6, Valkyrie #10 & 11, Tlielaxlu Master #7 & 8, & Animal.
Hundreds of Pollock’s go running out of the K of C Hall as the 2 teams are both teleported in to the back of the main hall. They are all positioned in, around, and on top of the tables that have been pushed to this back area, where the 2 teams start battling with each other immediately. The 2 Tlielaxlu Masters both instantly hide under one of the tables and meticulously take pot shots at the their opposition with their wrist bound poison dart shooters. Vorian Atreides takes a step back and takes on a purely leadership role, while The Kurgan’s idea of leadership is to unsheathe his sword and begin swinging wildly with his strike force about 5 steps behind him. Vorian stands on a table to shouts out orders for his squad to remain in a strong defensive posture, which are orders that his teammates execute with perfect precision. The only TEAMmember who jumps into action immediately is Animal. No matter what the orders would have been, had they been given chances are Animal would have disregarded them anyway. The Mad Muppet leaps over to the side of the opposition and begins ripping The Map to shreds. At one point he even takes a bite as if it were a Burger King drink carrier. The Map’s skills were not as easily utilized in a match where the 2 teams are teleported within feet of each other, but he still was an integral part of the team and will be missed. The Kurgan, in his rage lops the head off of Jedi Master #21 as if he was an opponent of no skill whatsoever. He then takes out Gungan #5 on his way to Vorian Atreides, who The Kurgan realizes is the real prize in this match. Vorian pulls out his gun and ceremonial sword, but The Kurgan Knocks these weapons out of Vorian’s hands as if they were toy’s in the hands of a child. The Kurgan then picks up Vorian by the neck and smiles as he slowly plunges his broadsword into the belly of Vorian. “Nooooooooo” yells Gungan #1 as he picks up the lightsaber of his fallen Jedi comrade and ignites it in one fluid motion. The Gungan then jumps into the air and cuts off the head of The Kurgan to kill him the only way that he can be killed. Jedi Master #22 says “Holy crap, tarquwar (that’s Gungan #1’s name) nice work”. To which he replies “Meeesa”? The Jedi Master then takes over leadership roles and yells: “Hey Tarquwar, this battle’s not over yet. Let’s finish these guys”. The 2 lightsaber wielding Commandos rush in with the utmost confidence despite the fact that they are outnumbered over 3 to 1. They rush right past The Tlielaxlu Masters knowing that they are not the cream of the crop of this TEAM. This does not prove to be a problem as the Tlielaxlu fire their last few poison darts at the Commandos, but all of them miss. Once the Tlielaxlu’s darts are gone the 2 of them still do not come out from under the table to help their TEAMmates. Tarquwar, the mad gungan goes rushing in with his new lightsaber and lops off the arm of Futar #5. The Futar knocks down Tarquwar with his other arm, with such force that it probably broke several bones; but the gungan still manages to take the lightsaber and clumsily plunge it into the heart of Futar #5. Futar #6 almost instantly rips the wounded gungan apart, but Tarquwar is revenged by his buddy Jedi Master #22, when the JedI stabs this Futar in the heart as well. The 2 Valkyries then surround the JedI and begin sparring with the Master. They work together as they attack the JedI, but this JedI uses his mastery of the Form 3 technique and goes into a defensive posture. It is not until the JedI sees the 2 Tlielaxlu finally popping out from under the table and Animal leaping down from the ceiling at him that he is thrown off guard. The 2 Valkyries both go in for the kill, but one of them is met with a lightsaber in her neck (#10) and the other one is killed when JedI Master #22’s lightsaber is plunged into her side, right as she is sticking her knife into the Jedi’s neck.
TEAM IS VICTORIOUS!

The Syracuse Valley Vs. The Horsemen of Apokolips
The Syracuse Valley is Knuckles, Xenomorph #95 & 96, Giant Hammer Bros. #1, Hammer Bros. #3 & 4, Moritani Soldier #1, & Little Goomba #6.
The Horsemen of Apokolips are Elrond, Dementor #17, Dark Jedi Master #1, Amazon #11, Droideka #9, Astro-Droid #11, Smurf #10, & Miss Piggy.
I woke up at 4:30 AM on Friday. I completed what I could of the mass amount of food that I have decided to bring with me and I then headed North by car. I left my home in Chicago, with my mother and 2 daughters and stopped in Livonia, Mi to see a few of my sisters and drop off my mom. I then headed up North to Roscommon, Mi which is another 3 hours. I spent the night in Roscommon so I could then get back in my vehicle the next morning and head back to Livonia. It is now Sunday morning and let me tell you, between hanging out at my sister’s house yesterday, a stop at George Murphy’s, and a late night talk with my other sister who is up from Kentucky in our Hotel room last night……. Well let’s just say that it was a long night. So here I am driving down to “The Old Neighborhood” with enough Kielbasa to feed an army, enough stuffed cabbage to feed the family’s of those armies and about twelve deserts that would easily earn praise in any pastry contest from here to Paris: My name is Christine Anschuetz, and I am going to “The Hall”. As I walk in, things are as they have always been. Over a hundred people moving, talking, & carrying-on. Most people would look at this setting and think: “I’ll never be able to get a word in edgewise”, but I’m not worried, after all I’m a pro. As I walk thru the door out of the kitchen, my two daughters, Natalie and Emma both run off and I think that I may not see them again until it is time to leave, not much different than I was at that age. I walk past the bar, but I’m not really interested in that right now. I’ll have a drink at my sister Patti’s later or Sandy’s, or wherever else we end up; but for some reason I never drink at the hall. My sister Margaret walks up to me and says: “Chris, you’re girls are so weird. They are running around telling everybody that they keep seeing a red blur being chased by a rolling robot”. “I don’t know where they get this stuff Margaret”. I reply. In the coatroom Emma turns to Natalie and asks: “Do you hear all the noise upstairs? We should go check it out”. Natalie replies: “O.K., lets go. NO WAIT. We should bring Nick & Josh with us”. “Good idea” Emma says. Emma & Natalie head back into “The Hall “Proper”” and stop to talk with their Uncle Scott & Aunt Margaret. After the usual Merry Christmas exchange Natalie asks: “Have you guys seen Nick & Josh, we want them to go upstairs with us”. Aunt Margaret replies with: “Natalie….. I think Nick & Josh are little old to still be playing upstairs”. “I’m not so sure about that” Uncle Scott adds under his breath. Aunt Margaret keeps the conversation going by saying “Well, either way girls; I haven’t seen them”. “Call me crazy, but I’d check the bar” Uncle Scott says sarcastically. Natalie & Emma head over to the bar and they see Nick & Josh about three feet away from it (shocker). On the way over to the bar, Natalie & Emma overhear their cousins Johnny & Bobby talking about the wreckage of metal that they found in the Men’s bathroom (it looked as if a person with knowledge of shield technology knew to be quick on defense, but slow on attack. Maybe he snuck in under the shield and destroyed it). Natalie, Emma, Nick, & Josh all start heading upstairs (after Nick & Josh grab a couple refills that is). Before they even get all the way up the stairs Nick & Josh hear the same old woman that they have been running from their entire lives yelling at somebody who isn’t supposed to be there. Maybe she was yelling at one of the Hejka cousins, they never could hide upstairs as well as us Zacharskis could or maybe she was yelling at Giant Hammer Bros. #1 for stomping Astro-Droid #11 to pieces: Who knows? As the quartet of cousins reaches the top of the stairs, and realizes that the coast is clear, the noise that they were hearing in the coatroom has become quite a bit louder, but still rather faint. Emma swears that she sees a large animal-like creature running across the ceiling, and Nick admits that he hasn’t been this scared since that random blonde chick locked Kristopher in that cage behind the stage when we were kids. The four inquisitive companions then work up enough courage to move past where the 2 large alien-looking things were moving and head toward the spot of the big crash. When they arrive in the upstairs men’s bathroom they find several pieces of what appears to of once been an astro-droid, but no sign of what destroyed it. This is do to the fact that shortly after the battle Dementor #17 took the soul of Giant Hammer Bros. #1 (and evidently the Watchers must be cleaning up bodies even faster than usual in this tournament). It is at this point that the fear-loving foursome exit the men’s bathroom to catch a glimpse of the 2 aliens (or whatever they are) scamper across the wall and run into the women’s bathroom. The door slams shut as the 2 Xenomorphs enter, which prompts Natalie to say: “we have got to go in there and check it out”. “Good idea, go ahead and open the door Nick” Josh replies. So Nick hands Emma his beer and walks over to the door. He slowly opens it up and peaks his head inside and then looks back at his cousins and yells “RUN”! If he would have preempted the word run with the word “zoinks” you would have thought that his body was taken over by the ghost of Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, but it wasn‘t. After Nick is done turning completely white the four of them head for the stairs as fast as possible. The omnipresent old woman who works at the K of C yells “Hey you kids don’t belong up here” which the running Nick replies to with: “Like, you don’t have to tell us twice”. They wrap around the second set of stairs without breaking stride when Nick turns back to his trio of companions and says “Is it just the fear talking or was I the only one who just saw a Little Goomba eating a smurf & being squashed by Miss Piggy“? “I saw it too, keep running says Emma”. The four of them do not stop running until they hit the bar all the way down on the first floor where Nick and Josh slam 2 warm Bud Lights as fast as humanly possible before ordering another one. Nick explains to his cousins and a crowd of random relatives around the bar that when he opened up the door he witnessed the 2 aliens that they had seen before locked in Mortal Combat (yes, combat not Kombat) with some six and a half foot tall leotard wearing chick and some evil looking alien with a lightsaber, “ya know, a lasersword” Nick adds for the puzzled looking old dude serving flat beer behind the bar. When people go up stairs later to see if what Nick said was true, there is no evidence of this said battle except for a slice thru the blue chair, a broken stall door, and a chipped toilet (The Amazon and The Dark Jedi managed to kill the 2 Xenomorphs but between the wounds they suffered during the fight and the spray of concentrated acid that took place during the death of the aliens they perished as well). Some of the Hejkas were weaving tales about that red blur eventually being caught by a black blur and about an elf decapitating a couple of Hammer Bros. and a gun wielding well dressed weirdo (which could be anybody in this family) in the coat room. When Natalie and Emma came back to me, they began telling me about what had happened upstairs and it cracked me up. I don’t know where they get this stuff. Only at The Hall.

The Brotherhood of Evil Midgets Vs. Pop-Superstar Hannah Montana & President Barack Obama's "Best of Both Worlds" Touring Battalion of Commandos
The Brotherhood of Evil Midgets (Team 1) is Asajj Ventress, Jedi Master #33A & 34A, Fremen #52 & 53, Hammer Bros. #11, Hobbit #1, & Mokey.
Pop-Superstar Hannah Montana & President Barack Obama’s “Best of Both Worlds” Touring Battalion of Commandos (Team 1) is Buffy Summers, Jedi Master #21 & 22, Gungan #1, & 5-7, & The Map.
Everything is set today, thanks to me. Most of the rabble that is my extended family has no idea what work goes in to this day that they all take for granted. Ever since my sister Annie died so many years ago, it has been I who have been the unequivocal leader of The Hejka family. It is I who set it up, it is my membership that is used to get the hall, and it is me who the family looks to for leadership. As I drive to the event I take solace knowing that everything is ready from the food to the bar. Some of my younger relatives like to show off by having more bottles of liquor behind the bar than anybody could ever drink. This is my year, and let me tell you if beer and high balls aren’t good enough for you, than you can just stay home. I won’t be partaking in any of this anyway, because like every year, I am sure I will spend most of my day chasing the brat children of my distant relatives. I put my reputation on the line every single year for this family and they repay me by allowing their children to run around like animals in areas that are clearly OFF-LIMITS! Year after year I address this problem and people blow me off as if my opinion doesn’t matter. Am I not the patriarch of this family? Have I not earned the respect of my relatives? I do not know why kids these days insist on traveling out of our designated rented area, but this year it will not be tolerated. My name is Leonard Hejka, and I’m going to “The Hall”. Asajj Ventress is an amazingly skilled fighter and can be near invisible if she wishes, but she is not much of a leader, in fact she is more of a loner. From the onset, Ventress disappears into the darkness of the upper level of the hall, which leads her strike force to separate as well. The Brotherhoods Jedi Masters, stay stealth and head downstairs while the 2 Fremen stick to the empty upstairs hall that is unrented per usual. Hammer Bros. #11 & Hobbit #1 follow Mokey’s lead and hide in the elevator. I hear something going on upstairs almost as soon as I get to The Hall. Per usual, I confront the known parents in the family downstairs, but like always they duck responsibility and deny that it could possibly be their child. I may not be as young as I used to be, but I have eyes like a hawk and ears like a fox; and I know when somebody is upstairs that doesn’t belong. I head upstairs, and I admit to myself that these kids are getting a little better at hiding than they once were, but I’m not worried, I’ll find them. Buffy has taken a different plan of action with her own team for round 2. She has ordered her entire squad to dress in plain clothes, and since not one person at the hall party knows everybody, they fit in just fine (you may think that 4 Gungans dressed in human clothes would never be able to pass as humans; but if you are thinking that, than you have obviously never seen the people that go to this Christmas party). Gungan #5 is in charge of holding The Map, which not only lays out every nook and cranny of the Hall, but also shows the locations of every member of The Brotherhood and of course the whereabouts of Uncle Leonard himself. It isn’t easy to sneak up on a pair of Jedis but if you need to it is probably best to have a few Jedis of your own, and to be Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Luckily for Buffy, she has in her employ 2 advanced Jedi Masters unlike The Brotherhood who have sent two Jedis who have just recently achieved the rank of Master. Buffy sends the 4 gungans over by the half wall of the coat room as a distraction to the Jedis from The Midgets who move toward them, but before the gungans can get attacked The Commandos Jedis block the lightsabers of their opponents to tie them up while Buffy finishes both of the Jedis off with two quick strikes. Gungan #5 checks the map and The Commandos make their way back to the party before Uncle Leonard gets back downstairs to yell at the culprits. Buffy and her crew take this opportunity to run up the stairs while Uncle Leonard is back on the lower level, but Gungan #7 is not fast enough to stay with the group. As most of the team is already upstairs Gungan #7 is almost spotted stepping on to the first step. The Gungan tries to gain some ground by hopping into the elevator, but once the elevator door closes he is mauled by Mokey, The Hobbit, & The Hammer Bros. All 3 of them work well together but it is a hammer to the head that inevitably kills the gungan. Buffy checks The Map to see that Gungan #7’s is no longer being displayed on the magical exploring tool and that they have no need to wait for him. Buffy and her squad rush into the upper floor hall where they are promptly met by the 2 Fremen. Buffy and the gungans take out Fremen #52 (well mostly Buffy) and the 2 Jedis tag team Fremen #53 in what becomes a quick fight. Gungan #5 shows Capt. Buffy that Asajj Ventress is downstairs but she is moving to fast for The Map to get a lock on her. Uncle Leonard on the other hand is moving not much slower than Ventress and is on his way upstairs. Buffy and the gungans hide in the women’s bathroom while The Big “L” passes them by and she sends the 2 Jedi into the elevator to take out The Midgets “lesser” fighters. Once inside the elevator Mokey and the boys fight valiantly but the Jedis take them out with relative ease. Buffy and the gungans get down to the first floor rather quickly to meet their Jedi teammates as the elevator door opens. The Commandos are using The Map to try and hunt down Asajj, but they can’t manage to find her. The Map is telling them that she is nearby and they begin to doubt The Map until they realize that they are short one Gungan (#6). Buffy orders her crew to the coatroom where she is convinced that Ventress will have to come to them. She is in mid-sentence telling her crew to form a circle when a red lightsaber comes poking thru her mouth. Whether it be out of instinct or ability is unclear but Buffy was able to get a “death grip” on one of Ventresses’ lightsabers which left her with only one to defend herself against the rest of The Commandos, led by Jedi Master #21 who manages to take out The Dark Assassin before she could do any more damage. The Commandos get back into the main hall just in time for dinner and presents from Santa, but Uncle Leonard sure was pissed at the kids who messed up the coat room.

Pop-Superstar Hannah Montana & President Barack Obama’s “Best of Both Worlds” Touring Battalion of Commandos (Team 1) is Buffy Summers, Jedi Master #21 & 22, Gungan #1, & 5-7, & The Map.
Everything is set today, thanks to me. Most of the rabble that is my extended family has no idea what work goes in to this day that they all take for granted. Ever since my sister Annie died so many years ago, it has been I who have been the unequivocal leader of The Hejka family. It is I who set it up, it is my membership that is used to get the hall, and it is me who the family looks to for leadership. As I drive to the event I take solace knowing that everything is ready from the food to the bar. Some of my younger relatives like to show off by having more bottles of liquor behind the bar than anybody could ever drink. This is my year, and let me tell you if beer and high balls aren’t good enough for you, than you can just stay home. I won’t be partaking in any of this anyway, because like every year, I am sure I will spend most of my day chasing the brat children of my distant relatives. I put my reputation on the line every single year for this family and they repay me by allowing their children to run around like animals in areas that are clearly OFF-LIMITS! Year after year I address this problem and people blow me off as if my opinion doesn’t matter. Am I not the patriarch of this family? Have I not earned the respect of my relatives? I do not know why kids these days insist on traveling out of our designated rented area, but this year it will not be tolerated. My name is Leonard Hejka, and I’m going to “The Hall”. Asajj Ventress is an amazingly skilled fighter and can be near invisible if she wishes, but she is not much of a leader, in fact she is more of a loner. From the onset, Ventress disappears into the darkness of the upper level of the hall, which leads her strike force to separate as well. The Brotherhoods Jedi Masters, stay stealth and head downstairs while the 2 Fremen stick to the empty upstairs hall that is unrented per usual. Hammer Bros. #11 & Hobbit #1 follow Mokey’s lead and hide in the elevator. I hear something going on upstairs almost as soon as I get to The Hall. Per usual, I confront the known parents in the family downstairs, but like always they duck responsibility and deny that it could possibly be their child. I may not be as young as I used to be, but I have eyes like a hawk and ears like a fox; and I know when somebody is upstairs that doesn’t belong. I head upstairs, and I admit to myself that these kids are getting a little better at hiding than they once were, but I’m not worried, I’ll find them. Buffy has taken a different plan of action with her own team for round 2. She has ordered her entire squad to dress in plain clothes, and since not one person at the hall party knows everybody, they fit in just fine (you may think that 4 Gungans dressed in human clothes would never be able to pass as humans; but if you are thinking that, than you have obviously never seen the people that go to this Christmas party). Gungan #5 is in charge of holding The Map, which not only lays out every nook and cranny of the Hall, but also shows the locations of every member of The Brotherhood and of course the whereabouts of Uncle Leonard himself. It isn’t easy to sneak up on a pair of Jedis but if you need to it is probably best to have a few Jedis of your own, and to be Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Luckily for Buffy, she has in her employ 2 advanced Jedi Masters unlike The Brotherhood who have sent two Jedis who have just recently achieved the rank of Master. Buffy sends the 4 gungans over by the half wall of the coat room as a distraction to the Jedis from The Midgets who move toward them, but before the gungans can get attacked The Commandos Jedis block the lightsabers of their opponents to tie them up while Buffy finishes both of the Jedis off with two quick strikes. Gungan #5 checks the map and The Commandos make their way back to the party before Uncle Leonard gets back downstairs to yell at the culprits. Buffy and her crew take this opportunity to run up the stairs while Uncle Leonard is back on the lower level, but Gungan #7 is not fast enough to stay with the group. As most of the team is already upstairs Gungan #7 is almost spotted stepping on to the first step. The Gungan tries to gain some ground by hopping into the elevator, but once the elevator door closes he is mauled by Mokey, The Hobbit, & The Hammer Bros. All 3 of them work well together but it is a hammer to the head that inevitably kills the gungan. Buffy checks The Map to see that Gungan #7’s is no longer being displayed on the magical exploring tool and that they have no need to wait for him. Buffy and her squad rush into the upper floor hall where they are promptly met by the 2 Fremen. Buffy and the gungans take out Fremen #52 (well mostly Buffy) and the 2 Jedis tag team Fremen #53 in what becomes a quick fight. Gungan #5 shows Capt. Buffy that Asajj Ventress is downstairs but she is moving to fast for The Map to get a lock on her. Uncle Leonard on the other hand is moving not much slower than Ventress and is on his way upstairs. Buffy and the gungans hide in the women’s bathroom while The Big “L” passes them by and she sends the 2 Jedi into the elevator to take out The Midgets “lesser” fighters. Once inside the elevator Mokey and the boys fight valiantly but the Jedis take them out with relative ease. Buffy and the gungans get down to the first floor rather quickly to meet their Jedi teammates as the elevator door opens. The Commandos are using The Map to try and hunt down Asajj, but they can’t manage to find her. The Map is telling them that she is nearby and they begin to doubt The Map until they realize that they are short one Gungan (#6). Buffy orders her crew to the coatroom where she is convinced that Ventress will have to come to them. She is in mid-sentence telling her crew to form a circle when a red lightsaber comes poking thru her mouth. Whether it be out of instinct or ability is unclear but Buffy was able to get a “death grip” on one of Ventresses’ lightsabers which left her with only one to defend herself against the rest of The Commandos, led by Jedi Master #21 who manages to take out The Dark Assassin before she could do any more damage. The Commandos get back into the main hall just in time for dinner and presents from Santa, but Uncle Leonard sure was pissed at the kids who messed up the coat room.
POP-SUPERSTAR HANNAH MONTANA & PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA’S “BEST OF BOTH WORLDS” TOURING BATTALION OF COMMANDOS ARE VICTORIOUS!
The Brotherhood of Evil Midgets Vs. TEAM
The Brotherhood of Evil Midgets (Team 3) are G.W. Bridge, Dark Jedi Master #12, & Dark Side Acolyte #1.
TEAM (Team 3) is Depa Billaba, Futar #5 & 6, Valkyrie #10 & 11, Tlielaxlu Master #7 & 8, & Animal.
It wasn’t even 90 minutes ago that I was still opening up my presents from Santa. You see, I always sleep in on Christmas. Some kids get up super early, but I like to get my sleep. I’m just as excited as the rest of them when I go to bed on Christmas Eve, but why not get extra sleep when you get the chance? It’s not like the presents are going anywhere. I’m pulling up at a huge building now. It’s probably the biggest building I have ever seen. It may not sound like fun, but I just left behind an entire living room full of presents to come here. Santa brought me and my sister so much stuff that it was unbelievable. It was the best Christmas ever, even though my sister doesn’t really get it yet; but she is kind of like a baby still, I mean she can’t really open the presents by herself and she isn’t even as tall as Bear yet. So I leave the presents to go get all bundled up and head outside. We get in our car and go for a really long drive, but we are finally here. But once we are there, that is when the real fun starts. It will be time for fun and adventure with my cousins, tons of treats, & of course more presents. We get out of the car and I’m excited, but of course it is taking my parents forever to get my little sister out of the backseat. I look over at the front of our car and one of the vent things is missing. I love it that there is only one of them because then I always know which car is ours. Probably… it fell off when we were going really fast because our car is a lot faster than most cars. My Dad says that is because it has a Vee-8 (I think most cars only have a Vee-6 or a Vee-7). Oh, good my family is finally ready to go inside. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, my name is Nick Houslander, and I’m going to “The Hall”. I am six years old, but in two days from now I will be seven. I am sure that will be awesome, but I can’t really think about that right now because so much is going to happen between now and then. I see my cousin Josh right when I walk in, he is already running around in a circle and jumping off the stage. Josh is cool, but I don’t need to play with him that much today. You see, me and Josh get to see each other all the time, but some of my other cousins I don’t get to see that much like Eddie, Kristopher, Danny, Jake, & Mary; now those are the people I can’t wait to see. There are a ton of babies here again this year, and not just Shannon & Julie who I see all the time, but a bunch more too. I think that some of their names are Richard, Alyssa, Katie, & Jackie. It is good that there are a lot of babies because that means we might be able to escape better and play upstairs away from the grown ups. I’ve only been here a few minutes, but I hear that there is already a plan to get upstairs and explore. I heard about it from Eddie who said we have to hurry if we are going to be a part of it. He heard about it from Josh and Kristopher, who probably got told that by Danny & Jake: they are brothers and are kind of like the leaders of all the cousins. All seven of us older cousins sneak into the back coatroom, after we go to the bathroom. Danny then goes back into the hall where are parents are and Jake tells us the plan. Jake says that he heard something upstairs, so we are going to check it out while Danny keeps are parents busy (Danny is really big and almost like a grown-up, so he knows how to talk to the grown-ups really good). Jake says that him & Kristopher will lead the way and that he wants Mary & Josh to come up next on the right and then, me & Eddie after that on the left (whatever that means). Once we get upstairs, we know that if any grown-up sees us that we are totally busted; but we keep going anyway. All of the sudden we see a blur run past us super fast. Way faster than Jason McCoy, and he beat me and Jeremy Jaygus last week in Gym class. Some of us thought that it looked like a Jedi, but Jake & Josh said “No”, they said: “Jedi can’t run super fast, I’ve seen all three movies like a hundred times”. After the blur runs thru the big double doors of the upstairs hall, we all start heading towards the big doors to open them up and check out what is inside. I have never been this far upstairs and have no idea what to expect, but as we open the doors and peak inside we see that the room is completely dark except for the commotion happening on the other side of the room. Some big dude has this huge toy gun, and he is shooting it at this girl who has a lasersword that looks just like the one’s from Star Wars only way brighter. Then all of the sudden, behind the guy with the gun three more laserswords pop out of nowhere. It looks like there are some people standing behind the girl with the blue lasersword but it is hard to tell because it is so dark. The blue lasersword gets closer to the other guys, and the gun and one of the red swords falls to the ground, but then the other two swords sneak around and knock down the blue sword. We hear some girl yell “Nooooo” and then a whole fartload of people jump on the person with the other two red laserswords and knock them down. The same girl that yelled “NO” turns toward the door and says “Who’s over there”. Which prompts Jake to say “RUN”!! We get down the stairs so fast and just barely get by before Aunt Diane, who was walking into the coat room sees that we were upstairs. My Mom walks up to me and says: “Where were you, Santa is going to be here any minute. Don’t you want your other present…… I love adventures. I love Christmas. But I really love The Hall!
TEAM IS VICTORIOUS!

The Brotherhood of Evil Midgets Vs. Pop-Superstar Hannah Montana & President Barack Obama's "Best of Both Worlds" Touring Battalion of Commandos
The Brotherhood of Evil Midgets (Team 2) are Robert Muldoon, Nightsister Sith Witch #2, New Sisterhood Reverend Mother #1, Evil Dwarf #1, Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother #1, Ewok #41, & Gobo.
Pop-Superstar Hannah Montana & President Barack Obama’s “Best of Both Worlds” Touring Battalion of Commandos (Team 2) are Harry Potter, Jedi Master #24, Sardakaur #13 & 14, Gungan #8-10, & Doozer #13.
My Mom says that we can’t go much faster, she says that we are already doing 65 miles per hour down Warren Road (whatever that means). But we have been on the road for a very long time, and I just want to get there. It is already 1:56 and the party starts at 2:00, which means if I don’t get inside in the next 4 minutes that I am away from my post. There is a lot of mischief to be done this year and it can’t happen if I don’t get there on time. I am ten years old, but please don’t let my age fool you. I’ve done more than most of my cousins that have been doing this since before I was born. I’ve earned the respect of my older cousins and I’ve also earned the respect and support of my younger cousins, who look to me for leadership and as a go-between to the really old cousins. That is leadership and training for the young generation that I cannot provide if we don’t get there soon…… Oh wait, this looks familiar. It looks like we are finally here. My Mom parks the car, and I jump out before her or my brother, and start running toward the door. My name is Alyssa Masson, and I’m going to “The Hall”. My Mom comes in behind me, carrying all the food and presents and says to me: “Alyssa, why don’t you calm down. What is your rush”? She doesn’t get it: “I have to find Josh” I reply. I run thru the back doors, and head for the coat room, and sure enough Josh is already there. “Sorry I’m late Captain, it was a long drive from St. Claire Shores”. I say, but Josh replies with: “Don’t worry about it, the hall started like 90 seconds ago”.. I ask: “Hey Josh, did you already move the couch”. He replies with: “No, I was waiting for you, lets go”. As we are heading up the stairs I say to my older cousin and team Captain Josh: “Why were you waiting for me, you always said that moving the couch out of sight was the most important thing, and that it had to be done before anything else. You never wait for my help“? Josh gets the slightest frown on his face and says to me: “Not anymore Alyssa, I’m getting to old for this sort of thing, it’s time for me to retire”. “But who will move the couch? Who will instruct the little kids in the ways of hall mischief? WHO WILL LEAD US”!?!? “You will” he replies. Josh than looks at me and says: “I was even younger than you are now when Jake passed this mantle on to me, and it is time for it to be passed on to the best person for the job. We both know that you are more than capable and that you will do just fine. I can’t tell you how much I’d rather be up here with you than down at the actual hall party, but I’m old enough now that people down there are actually looking for me, and I feel I cannot execute this job the way it should be executed; but you can. Good Luck Alyssa, and don’t worry the cousins will follow you”. For the most part, Josh was right. I don’t know if he put a good word in for me with the other cousins or not, but for the most part they are all following my lead (even some of my cousins who are older than me). For the most part, I have spent most of the day chilling on the couch upstairs (I admit, it feels even better when you move it yourself). It is kind of nice to just sit up here and hold court while the younger kids do what you tell them to. Even Nick came up here a little while ago and gave me props as to how good of a job I am doing. Of course we do have the usual problems with some of The Hejka kids trying to horn in our fun, but it is nothing I can’t handle. There is even this one kid, who I swear I have never seen before but judging by his short stature and goofy haircut, he has got to be a Hejka. He keeps walking around with this stupid toy magic wand and telling all these ludicrous stories about what him and his friends have done since they got here. He says his 3 Gungan friends took out the ewok and the fraggle, but one of the gungans got shot by this crazy hunter. I’ll give the kid some credit he’s got an imagination, but seriously, what the hell is a gungan. I mean I’ve heard of an ewok and a fraggle but if you’re gonna make up something new there has got to be something cooler than gungan. What a dork. He said that his best friend was a Jedi, and that he took out an Evil Dwarf and a Nightsister Sith Witch all by himself. I told him that if he didn’t get off of my turf that I was going to have one of my cousins take a Nightsister Evil Dump on his head. He said that the other team had these 2 girls who were really good fighters and that they killed one of his Sardakaur terror troops, but my cousin Carli said that he just stole that from the book Dune. Then this major geek told this like hour long story about how he flew in on his broomstick and took out the Reverend Mothers with some help from his last remaining Sardakaur and that he put up a shielding spell when the African hunter guy tried to shoot him. He then said something about “smokin that muggle like it ain’t no thing”?? Whatever the hell that means. For the most part this kid was a total tool, but I will admit, that I’m gonna steel some of this material in a couple days on Christmas Eve if we tell ghost stories at Grandma Zacharski’s house again. That dorky kid said that his strike force won, but I told him flat out: Only cause you didn’t go up against mine”.

The Brotherhood of Evil Midgets are Robert Muldoon, Nightsister Sith Witch #2, Dark Side Adept #1, Super Battle Droid #1 & 2, Hammer Brothers #13 & 14 & Gobo.
Reign Supremacy is Thaddeus, Starship Trooper #30 & 31, Zombie #3 & 4, Orc #66, Stormtrooper #29 and Lil’ Scrimmell.
Thaddeus was starving. He was very hungry, as he had not eaten in days. In fact the entire Reign Supremacy team was malnourished. Luckily for them though, they arrived at that hall around dinnertime. The Brotherhood knew this and let the former team eat as much food as they wanted, to which they all did. There was everything you could possibly imagine from Chicken and meatballs to Lasagna and Taco Salad. The feast lasted a little over an hour and let me tell you, feast is exactly what they did.
Thaddeus ate two full plates of food, plus a large salad. Both Starship Trooper’s ate a decent amount as well, but the Stormtrooper was just ridiculous. He started off with three pieces of chicken, twelve meatballs and one and a half pieces of lasagna. For his second plate, he got two more pieces of chicken and literally half of the entire pan of broccoli casserole. He then ate the entire vegetable spread and four pieces of chocolate cake. It was pretty awesome to watch. Especially since I didn’t want to watch the Zombie’s, who were really just trying to eat the cooks in the kitchen. Orc #66 ate some food as well, but watching him eat was so disgusting that I just couldn’t stomach the sight. Lil’ Scrimmell ate as well, but after one piece of chicken and a cookie, he claimed he was full.
On the other side, the Midgets were just waiting. They knew if they could get their opponents to eat them selves sick, this match would be a cake walk (Ha Ha, that’s so hilarious right). Despite the simplicity of this plan by Robert Muldoon, it was basically full proof. As Reign Supremacy laid back in their gluttonous haze, the Midgets began to reign an ungodly hell upon them.
The first wave saw both Super Battle Droids come in the side door near the kid’s stairway and the back door saw both Hammer Brothers marching down towards them. As Reign Supremacy felt their world closing in very quickly, they began to hear a horrible noise coming from above. At first they thought there might have just been another party going on upstairs, but as soon as they saw the ceiling begin to crack, they knew it was something else.
Thaddeus, Lil’ Scrimmell and the Troopers were all underneath their table at this point, as they were getting blasted from both sides now. The Troopers knew they could take out the Battle Droids, so they decided to head towards the other way. Stormtrooper #29 stayed with Thad and Scrimmell, but was so full that he was having trouble moving in his suit. He did manage to get a few shots off, but they did not hit anything. Thad figured this match was going to be over quick now, but he had no idea what he was about to get into.
The crack in the ceiling was now opening and it carried a firestorm of death with it. Once the ceiling completely collapsed, the rest of the Midgets team jumped down into the fight. Thad looked up at what had caused the gaping whole in the ceiling; what he saw was his death looking him straight in the eyes. Before anyone could do anything about it, the Sith Witch had torn Thaddeus’s throat out, Swayze style. The Stormtrooper at this point did manage to hit and injure Hammer Brother #13, but in turn lost his life to the Dark Side adept, who had knocked him to the ground and crushed his skull.
The Starship Troopers, who had finally killed the Super Battle Droid’s, knew this match was going to be impossible to win. In knowing this, they decided to go out in a blaze of glory, opening fire on the entire Midgets squad. The rain of bullets killed both Hammer Brothers, but it wasn’t long before the Sith Witch hit both troopers with a sick amount of Sith Lightening. Both Troopers dropped their weapons and despite the amazing abilities of their suits, the Sith lightening had shorted out anything electrical that they were planning on doing.
As they lied there on the ground in pain, they were trying to think of something to do. Trooper #30 looked at his teammate and quickly started to tell him his plan.
“What we need to do is figure out a way to get our suit’s back online. When we do that, I can reverse the polarity of the suits electrical current and make it so the next time we get hit, it gives us even more power.”
Trooper #31: Do you think this can work?
Trooper #32: Yeah, I know it will. In fact, I might even be able to make it so the next time she hits us, it will backfire on her completely. Turning our suits into our very own controllable Sith Lord.
Trooper #31: Great, what do we need to do to get this thing working again?
Trooper #32: That’s the tricky part. We are going to have to find the main power grid in the area and hook our suits up to it. From there, I can rewire the original mainframe of our suits and get them powered back up again.
Nightsister Sith Witch #2: Are you girls done talking yet?
She then sent enough Sith Lightening towards the Troopers to kill twelve Jedi Masters. With them out of the way, the Zombie’s and Orc#66 were basically done for. Robert Muldoon took care of the Zombie’s using a 30/30 he had with him. Gobo the Fraggle had been keeping a close eye on Lil’ Scrimmell, which is why he was now following him outside. Orc #66 tried to take on the Dark Side adept, but the fight didn’t last very long. Though it probably could of taken a little less time if the Dark Side adept would have just killed him normally, instead of seeing how many times he could kick the Orc before he died. It was forty-seven kicks if you were wondering.
That only left Lil’ Scrimmell, who was now wandering outside of the hall. He thought he was alone, as Gobo was very small and hard to see. Muldoon, who at this point has become great friends with the Fraggle, was hiding up on the roof. He was hoping to get a clear shot at the small clone, a shot that would give his team another victory. He waited for a while until the time was right, until Scrimmell’s death was a done deal. It only took about ten minutes for Scrimmell to walk into the perfect spot, but once he did he was all done. Muldoon had his gun ready, but before he could get off a shot he noticed the Sith Witch running as quickly as possible towards the clone with light saber in tow. Before Muldoon could even say “Clever girl”, the Sith witch had cut Scrimmell’s small body in two. Though Muldoon was bummed he could not solidify the victory for his team, he knew that in the long run, it mattered very little. A victory is a victory, regardless of how you get it.
