- The RhyDin Post's black and gold logo flashes with an epic, orchestrated introduction theme. The logo spirals off the screen, and displays a high-tech news studio with flat screen television sets, and a massive, glossy black desk. Two men sit behind the desk. To the left (Peter Pham) is in his early thirties, of Asian ethnicity, has gelled black hair, and is in a navy blue suit. To the right (Chris Reed) is of Caucasian ethnicity with dark brown hair, is in his late thirties, is wearing a khaki suit, and has a vertical scar running down one side of his face. Both men, equipped with headsets, smile at the camera. -

Peter: Well howdy do, folks. Didn't expect to see you again so soon, but the Post has received numerous requests for footage of the Overlord challenge, and would you believe it' We just happen to have such a thing.

Chris: How'd you get that camera in there, Pete" Were any of the Post employees present that night"

Peter: That's a secret there, Chris. But the answer lies in an anagram for antidisestablishmentarianism.

- Chris gets out a pen and paper and begins writing. Peter rolls his eyes. -

Peter: In all seriousness, though, this is one whopper of a match, RhyDin.

Chris: It certainly was, Pete. Even if it hadn't been a challenge for the Overlordship between Ticallion Carter and Anubis Karos, the trio of duels was a real nailbiter!

Peter: The challenge was a best out of three. This means that a competitor needs to win two out of three matches to either keep or take the title. The matches are won on a point system. In this case, the matches continue until a dueler reaches five points, or is a solid point above his opponent over five. Now, due to time constraints, we unfortunately aren't able to cover all three for you.

Chris: That's right; we're not, Pete. But what we can do is bring you the last match of the three.

Peter: The first of the three was won by Overlord Karos, by a one-point margin of five to four. The second was a breath-stealing comeback by Carter with a one and a half point margin of six and a half to five. What do you think about these two competitors, Chris"

Chris: Well to be honest, I'm going to have to keep my mouth shut about my favorite. I might get screamed at.

Peter: You like Karos, don't you?

Chris: I can't help it! Yeah, all right, the guy's profession isn't exactly something you'd want to broadcast—

Peter: - Interrupting. - Even though he does.

Chris: — but the Egyptian's got skill, Pete. He practically dances with the sword.

Peter: Carter's got a stronger record. The numbers here say fifty-two to the Overlord's twenty-one. Besides, Carter is just as talented a veteran as Karos. Our sources say he is part of the Wrecking Crew, which was a team back in the Team Dueling League who won in season 523.

Chris: That explains the jersey.

- Close-up on Ticallion's getup. Jeans, navy blue shirt, and Wrecking Crew baseball jersey with the number seven. -

Peter: Either way, from what we've viewed from the previous footage, these two spent a lot of time talking.

Chris: I think it was Fai who said that it's all about politics. The politics are just as important as the duels, he said.

Peter: That's a great observation on his part. I mean, when you look at the Fortis - Ashleana challenge"

Chris: Oh don't even get me started on that one. I could go on for hours.

Peter: You're right. That's another challenge for another day.

Chris: They don't pay us enough. Honestly.

- Peter pegs Chris with a pen. -

Peter: Introduce the damn fight, Chris.

Chris: - Laughter. - Alright, alright. Well, ladies and gents, we start this fight off already with both duelers a little worse for wear.

Peter: They're looking a little bloody there, aren't they"

- Zoom in on both Anubis and Ticallion as the fight commences, the camera searching out specific signs of fatigue. -

Chris: Swords matches are brutal, Pete. And if you don't get a long enough break between matches, you don't even get time to let the wards heal you up.

- Roll footage, Round 1. TH/HC Karos. -

Karos: Fluidly segues into his traditional stance as he came off of the taut cables aligning the ring, serpentine glyphs of antimony wavering within the prism of a slowly trailing rivulet of perspiration. Said rivulet cascaded towards the sands below as he erupted forward, foremost dagger aimed for the sternum as he ducked ever so slightly to avoid a cut.

Carter: He finally came off the ropes now, his jaw still set and determination still outlining his features. He mind reacts instantly to the opening rush from Anubis and he tries to accommodate by swinging the blade hard, fast and high to the oncoming Egyptian. He strike is narrowly evaded and he falls back with a loud "Grrk" as the dagger finds a home in his sternum once again tonight.

- Zoom in on Anubis's lunge. White arrow drawn over his shoulder to where Ticallion misses. -

Chris: Here you can see where the Overlord narrowly avoids a harsh cut up high as Carter overshoots.

Peter: He's spry for all that fatigue, Chris.

Chris: Karos is running on fumes at this point, Pete. It's either win this, or lose the Overlordship.

- End footage Round 1. Roll footage, Round 2. HC/LC 2-1 Karos. -

Carter: " Reverses direction of cross-cuts with the weapon as that grip loosens and swings it low, the edge looking for Anubis' calves. Deadset on landing his own strike, he's unable to prepare himself as the back dagger flays his shoulder effortlessly.

Peter: Ouch! Massive bloodshed! Both the Overlord and Carter aren't wasting time, are they"

Chris: Karos has got to keep the point lead if he expects to win, Pete. Once Carter gets a foothold, he charges straight ahead.

Peter: Be that as it may, both fighters need a round to recuperate, it seems. They spend the next dancing around each other to catch their breath.
