"...The beginning of the end!" Yes, it was a pitiful scene, as the preps
huddled in fear of the shadowy figures. But then, one of them stepped
forward. "This is becoming tiresome. I'm sure our boss wouldn't mind if we
spiced things up a bit." He said, with an air of annoyance in his tone of
voice "I'm willing to put some sport into this, if you would oblige me so
as to listen to my proposition." The preps leaned forward, eager for a
chance to escape death. "If one of you can best me in a test of
swordsmanship, we shall perhaps think of making arrangements to stop all
this carnage." This line was delivered by the second hooded figure, who had
a more feminine sounding voice. "Alright, I'll rise to your challenge!"
Said an eager and overconfident prep. "I'll use the fencing saber I got
when my military academy thanked me for the donation my parents gave. I'm
rich, you know." The second hooded figure, quite pissed off by this remark,
stepped forward. "fine, use your fencing saber," she said "But if you have
no skills with it, it can easily be surpassed by a simple..." a sporknf
appeared in her hand. "...Sporknf." The prep laughed. For some reason, he
thought this was funny. "Let's begin," said the hooded figure. "the first
test shall be a classic. You must shuffle a deck of simple playing cards,
along with one sheet of gold foil. The object is to throw the cards into
the air and stab your sword through the ace of hearts and the foil before
any cards hit the ground. I believe you're up first." The prep walked up
nervously. Suddenly, a buzzer sounded, and the cards were shot into the
air. The prep waved his sword around like a baseball bat, and managed to
hit the two of clubs, the 4 of spades, and even the nine of hearts. But he
failed. "Let me show you how a pro does it, you inferior." She used the
word inferior in a mocking tone. The prep didn't get the hint. The buzzer
sounded. There was a flash, but there were no cards in the air. All eyes
were drawn to the tip of the sporknf, where the whole deck was impaled.
"Ahhh, but that's not all," she said, with a hint of pride in her voice.
She flipped through the cards. Every card was in order, and in suit. And
the piece of gold foil was first, followed by the ace of hearts, and so on.
And every card was stuck straight through the middle, lined up perfectly
with one another. It was truly a spectacle to behold. "I guess you couldn't
have helped but lose to the legendary prep slayer!" She removed her hood.
It was none other than Xelkitti, the prep slayer. There was a stunned
silence in the crowd, until Xelkitti broke the silence, by saying "Now, on
to round two."
