Electric December - Day 1
This is a story of love, loss and yo-yos, with the humble yo-yo being at the heart of this tale and ending something it should never have started.
Actually it is not the yo-yo at the heart, but a cunning heroine who bends the lust of two mortal enemy grand master yo-yo champions towards her with tragic consequences.
First, word gets out that Lynus Blair wants to challenge Batimo Greenstripe to a yo-yo showdown for the love of his girl, Sky Limewire. So the two grandmasters and Sky meet at a secret location (St Nicks market) to battle like they've never battled before. But Sky, swayed I think by the snazzy sunglasses worn by Lynus, walks over and stands by her true love.
Enraged with anger Batimo clicks his fingers and all of a sudden his posse arrive and the showdown begins. They start off with a synchronised yo and the battle ensues - during which the dangerous Whip Stalker move is unleashed - but it ends in catastrophe as one of the yo-yo's flies off and kills Sky! 'She came, I had nothing, she left I had nothing'.
