"Here we are at the Rank A Official Tournament," screamed the announcer over the roaring
fans, many waving posters and banners supporting their favorite monster," And what a
tournament it's gonna be!" Yelled the announcer though no one could hear him through the
crowd,"Lets get straaaaaaiiight on into it! Our first match will be between Gloria, a
rather successful and good-looking... Honey, I didn't mean it that way!Ahem, on the other
side, Ro-am a rather determined little worm who it looks like still needs a lot of
training,"boos issued from the Ro-am fans and security even had to break up a fist fight.
"I'm just sayin he has very little a chance, no offense Ro-am followers!". But that did it,
fights began springing up everywhere, creatures were called to cease the brawls and the
tournament was eventually... postponed.


Dan Archy, the announcer, walked out to his mailbox the next day dreading what he would
find. He opened the lid, took the letters, and started searching them. He saw it.It said
IMA in big bold letters on it and in red ink the word "URGENT". He gently tore open the
envelope and read the letter and a look of disbelief crossed his face.

Dear Mr. Dan Archy:

Due to your less than satisfactory work, you are FIRED!!!!! SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE
FISHY AGONY!!!!!!!WE NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU IN AN IMA BUILDING FOR AS LONG AS WE LIVE!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Dr. Dell Gollie

Dan stood there anger and agony running up and down him. He had been announcing there
for fifteen years! This was all he could take! He gathered all his trunks and filled
them with his belongings and loaded them into the dino cart. His wife diidn't pay any attention
because she was still angered at him and continued reading the local paper. Dan gathered
everything he could stuff in the cart was off. By the time X-Mrs. Archy realized he had
taken the only cart and was yelling every swear word she could think of at him, it was too
late, he had gone over the nearest hill.

As Dan rode along, he thought to himself "What have I left behind and what have I
gotten myself into?"
