“Kondor crossed the pitch and shook hands with Coach Wop. This had been a fun match with blood spattering everywhere in a bitter cold mourning. The playing field quickly became a blood tinged sheet of ice.

At first it did not look like that would be the case as Shattered united pushed the guard around, and an elf tripped trying to put pressure on the ball handler. But things quickly changed with Badass, and Stealth both putting bovine on the bench. The most shocking came whe Buggart tried to pop Fast Mover only to have his nose broken and spent the remainder of the match badly hurt. The Troll was not so tough today.

Still, the United early efforts were such that the Guard could not pull of a defensive stop. On the ensuing kickoff, there was no time for a score, so the Shuttle Pilot rushed over and put the boot to a prone chaos warrior. The Apo rushed in to save him but the injury was one that is likely to end his career and the doc simply shook his head.

The second half saw masterful play by Wop as the ugly fella with a razor sharp claw finally got off the bench. Though the guard scored, the result was revenge upon the Shuttle Pilot for his dirty play. Death upon the blood bowl pitch was the sentence. Still Hantro was not satisfied after spending most of the game on the bench, and he took out his frustrations on a poor rookie sending SWAT Guy to his grave as well.

In the final seconds, Kondor's team had a chance to score the go ahead TD. Yet Nuffle decided the match had been too beautifully played by both sides to grant a victor. After three masterful dodges, and a great pick up, the pass simply was too much in the ice. The ball was fumbled as time expired.

Kondor returned to the locker room and gazed at the pair of body bags. Death on the pitch is the best end for pixels. So with a salute the team would move on stronger than ever. Already a replacement swat guy had been requisitioned. Indeed, the team seemed inspired as the Weekend Warrior was outlining a plan to cover everyone's six, and the Computer Badass took it upon himself to go the extra mile with a Elf Growth Hormone. As it is not tested for, it must be legal.

The future is bright for Guard Duty.

Thanks for the game Wop. I look forward to the rematch. You played masterfully at one point down 9 guys to 8. I fear what would have happened if I had not put a few of your guys on the bench.”
