Death of a King
By Sultan Yassin

Dear Bakufu -
It saddens me to report to you the death of two members of the Matriza clan. Today at 5:15, Huma Ras Yusuf and Hideyoshi were gunned down by the remaining members of the Penetrator clan in the Quincy courtyard. In what appeared to be a very cleaverly calculated ambush, the three members of the Penetrators split off into a triangle formation in attempt to block off escape. Rather than die like cowards Ras and Hideyoshi proceeded to face off with the penetrators. The gruesome battle involved the firing of multiple rounds. As Tae of the Penetrators came after Hideyoshi, the latter tripped over a purtrusion in the courtyard, in what proved to be a fatal error. In the meantime, Ras was valiantly holding off two of the aggressors but eventually fell victim as well.
The Matriza clan mourns the death of these two great warriors. They will be missed much. But people will continue to tell the tales of the Matriza and the Legend of Hideyoshi and Ras's death will go into the annals of history.

Death of the Destroyer
By Huma Yusuf

Most Honorable Shogunate,
This valiant warrior, so young, still learning the ways of the Shogunate reports on her untimely death at the hands of the remaining Penetrators today at 5:15pm. Evidently outraged at the ponging of Ping, Tae, Davesh and Joaquin executed an admirable ambush in the Quincy courtyard. Hideyoshi and I, in the esteemable way of the Matriza, could not die like cowards, and fought to our deaths. May the blood stained courtyard remind the living that the dead died with honor. And may the Penetrators be penetrated so that the soul of Ras may be purged and delivered to that great Shogunate in the sky.

Ras, the destroyed.
