“Welcome back to the Nine Tails Tournament!” said the announcer. “It’s been quite the battle. Eight rounds of Champions’ Jamboree ending with the winning team taking on the legendary Nine Tails Fox!”

The announcer did a little spin for the audience. “And here they are, our winners! The ones to not only beat out eight other teams but to defeat Nine Tails and claim the grand prize, Danny Smith and Joe Rover!”

Danny and I joined the announcer on the stage. The crowd cheered and clapped. We got a few whistles, but I think most of those were for my muscular friend with the mullet hairstyle and smile so bright and friendly that it could direct airplanes.

The announcer put his arms around us. “So tell us, boys, now that you’ve defeated Nine Tails and won the legendary Champions’ Jamboree trading cards Nine Tails Fox and Galaxy Chicken, what are you going to do?”

“The same thing we do whenever we win Jamboree cards,” I said, “preform an ancient ritual that will free the souls trapped within.”

The announcer turned to the audience with his hands spread wide. “Isn’t that amazing, folks?”

The crowd whistled and cheered louder. Danny and I glanced at each other and shrugged.
