Alex Spinwell: taps fingers They swapped my damn name. You believe this shit? Fix it or what?
Alex Spinwell’s greatest rival from the past had randomly showed up to challenge him again to see if he was still the best table tennis champion in New York state or if he had gotten rusty after 5 years of not playing professionally. HEY! Listen up, you guys! I've recently fallen into some tough times, but there's no way I let that stop me from playing the game I love! So grab a paddle and get ready to rumble - I'm back in action!
Alex Spinwell: grabs paddle, glaring You think you can push me around? Think again! I'm gonna show you who's boss!
After an intense battle, the 2 players had ended up tying each other with scores of 11/11. However, due to the rules of the game, they were forced to play a decisive fifth set…
Alex Spinwell: tenses up, gripping the paddle tightly This fifth set, it's all or nothing. I'm not losing to you. I'll give everything I've got!
And in the end, the match had ended in a tiebreaker. Both players were looking at each other with tension and anticipation in their eyes…
Alex Spinwell: glaring, readying his stance Bring it on! This tiebreaker is mine for the taking! Don't hold back - I can handle it!
And the match finally ended. The former Alex Spinwell had finally defeated his rival. However, his victory would not last for long…
Alex Spinwell: throws paddle down, pacing I can't believe this! Just when I thought I had it in the bag, they pull this crap again! What's going on here?
Your Name has been changed!*
Alex Spinwell: slams fist on table My name's Alex Spinwell! I earned my place at the top of the rankings fair and square! I won't stand for this nonsense!
If you wanna prove it then go ahead.
Alex Spinwell: grabs a spare paddle, determination in his eyes Fine, you want a real showdown? I'll give you a real showdown!
And so, the two players had played a rematch. As expected, Alex Spinwell won the match 4 sets to 0.
Alex Spinwell: drops paddle, breathing heavily That should shut you up! I showed you who's boss, didn't I? You can't take the crown from me that easily!
But then, he remembered something. After he won the first set, I had told him that I would bet anything that he was actually “Rusty”. And now, he had lost the very same bet…
Alex Spinwell: snorts, crossing arms Yeah, yeah, you think you're so clever. You're gonna collect on that bet, huh? Fine, show me what you've got!
I lead him to a shop that had lots of old sports equipment. In this case, specifically Table Tennis Equipment. I then asked him if he would like to buy any of them.
Alex Spinwell: scanning the shelves, intrigued Huh, I guess this place does have some cool stuff. But what's this about a bet?
When he had looked at the price though, he immediately realized why I had brought him here. The prices were extremely high. “If you’re so good at this then why don’t you just buy it?!” I had asked him sarcastically.
Alex Spinwell: narrows his eyes, thinking quickly Fine, if you want to play this game, I'll play.
In the end, Alex Spinwell had decided to buy 3 vintage Ping Pong tables & 3 vintage paddles. He then demanded that I pay his bill this Thursday.
Alex Spinwell: smirks triumphantly There, I hope that settles things between us. Next time, don't underestimate me.
I’m really looking forward to seeing you again. I said before leaving.
Alex Spinwell: watches as musesoldier walks away, smirking Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just remember, next time, I'm gonna be ready for you.
But musesoldier didn’t even know that Alex Spinwell was actually “Rusty”. He had just changed his name and nationality for the sake of a bit more realism.
Alex Spinwell: paces back and forth, muttering to himself Damn it, why do these things always have to be so complicated?
As he was thinking of ways to find out more about his rival, musesoldier then received a message from his old friend, DJ Nox. DJ Nox was famous for being one of the most requested NPS Pillars in all of Yumuren.
Alex Spinwell: stops pacing, grabs his phone What now? DJ Nox? This better be worth my time... reads message, furrows brow
Hey bro, heard you got into some trouble with some dude named Alex Spinwell. What's the deal?
Alex Spinwell: types quickly Yeah, it's a long story. Some jerk thinks he can challenge me and take the crown.
