Whew... I finally defeated that pesky Marshmallow. It was a good battle though Gaara, I'm honored for the privilege of fighting you. I don't know how it would've gone if your forces weren't split.

Hmm... drat! Losing 2 battles in one phase and bringing shame to my fellow Zexeners...

Regardless, good battle Shrew. You definetly outsmarted me. I was expecting your unit to be attacking last.

I apologize to all the Zexeners for my poorly based stategies...

And Marshmallow is far from pesky, I'd prefer the term "dedicated warrior", but that would depend on where you stand on the battlefield.
