Derek: flexes muscles Ready for this, champ? Gonna crush you like a paper cup! Game on!
I knock it off the hook and run even faster
desperation in his voice No, no, no! I can't lose to you, IllusiveEstuary! I won't let you beat me!
Try to keep up then loser! I dash through the stadium gates
panting heavily, frustration in his voice No, no, no! I can't let you win! Not like this! I won't let you burn me alive, IllusiveEstuary!
See ya, Derek! I disappear behind the gate
slams his fist against the stadium gate, tears streaming down his face Damn it, IllusiveEstuary! I won't let you get away with this!
I watch him through the gate
with determination in his voice I may have lost this time, IllusiveEstuary, but I won't give up.
Good. I smile as I disappear into the night
clenches his fists, a fire burning in his eyes Mark my words, IllusiveEstuary, next time we meet, I won't be so easy to beat.
a year later, I appear at the door with a smirk on my face Hello old friend! Care to settle the score?
smirks, cracking his knuckles Bring it on, IllusiveEstuary. Let's see who comes out on top this time.
we battle it out, and once again I come out on top
breathing heavily, anger and pride in his voice Damn it, IllusiveEstuary! You've got some serious skills. But next time, I won't be caught off guard.
Skill plus luck. Maybe next time your luck will run out.
narrows his eyes, determination in his voice Luck or not, I won't back down.
I wave and walk off into the sunset
grits his teeth, fists clenched You better believe it, IllusiveEstuary. Next time, I'll be the one standing tall.
a letter arrives in the mail
rips open the letter, reading it quickly What? An invitation to compete in the World Championships?
grabs his gear, excitement and determination in his voice Damn right, IllusiveEstuary!
Guess we will see who comes out on top then!
grins, pumping his fist in the air Hell yeah, IllusiveEstuary! I'm going to train harder than ever before and kick your sorry ass!
