The Horsemen of Apokolips Vs. Team Ed

The Horsemen of Apokolips are Darkseid (designated leader), Jamie Madrox, Tommy: The Green Ranger, Circuit Breaker, Scarlet Witch, Parasite, Josh Houslander, and Ork #21.



Team Ed is Superman (designated leader), Seraph, Sephiroth, Emerald Weapon, Willow, Griffin Poteracki, Jet Li, Gannon, Blitzwing, and Bowser: King of Koopa.



The Emerald Weapon, although extremely powerful finds itself to be completely useless out of water. It sees no threat to the water portion of "the planet" that it was created to protect so it ceases to need to exist. Josh Houslander hands Jamie Madrox his Glock and his katana blade. Jamie Madrox then makes 40 multiples of himself holding those weapons. As Josh is asking the multiples "HEY, can I have one of those back"? Seraph shoots Josh in the head. Tommy turns into the Green Ranger and begins to fight with Seraph. Griffin and Jet Li are forced to stop debating each other on who the better fighter is to follow Sephiroth into battle against the many multiples of Jamie Madrox. While the multiples are pretty skilled with their katana blades, Sephiroth wielding the 7' tall Masamune makes pretty short work of them, especially while Griffin and Jet Li have his back. Blitzwing flies in in plane form then transforms into tank mode in order to attack but Darkseid throws circuit breaker into Blitzwing disrupting his circuits. Although this ends Blitzwing, Circuit Breaker also dies when her body hits Blitzwing. Ork #21 tries to pick off Willow thinking he will be as easy to kill as any hobbit but Willow casts a spell and kills the ork (somewhere Miss Hillman is smiling). Darkseid and Scarlet Witch know that the true threat against them is that of Superman so they decide to move in on him. Darkseid takes the offensive while Scarlet Witch hangs back. Parasite grabs a hold of Willow and does not let go until Willow is lifeless. Parasite has absorbed the intellectual know-how and the physical ability to be a dork. Bowser, seeing that he should definitely not let parasite come near him starts jumping away from him and only doing his ranged fire attack, although except for slowing him down the fire does not seem to have much of an effect on him. Superman continues to fly around while Darkseid is shooting Omega beams at him. During this time Scarlet Witch turns Superman's cape into Kryptonite. Superman falls to the ground in agony. Jet Li has taken out 3 of the multiples and Sephiroth has defeated 16 as they begin to become surrounded by about twenty more. Griffin, much to his dismay has yet to kill one of the multiples but has been locked in vicious combat with one for some time. Griffin is wielding the identical sword that the multiple is because it is one that he picked up from one of the dead multiples. Sephiroth has taken out four more but they are closing in on him and Jet Li. Griffin gets stabbed in the leg and knocked to the ground by his opponent but when the multiple jumps on top of him to finish the job Griffin sticks his sword up and they join each other in death, when this happens Sephiroth and Jet Li are saved in the nick of time as the remaining 23 multiples disapear; because unknowingly to Griffin he did not just kill a multiple, but Jamie Madrox himself. Parasite leaves the fight with Bowser to go and help finish off Superman but Gannon at that moment uses his own powers to teleport next to Superman, grab the kryptonite and teleport away; but he is still weakened by it as Darkseid begins to blast him with more Omega beams. Superman begins to regain his strength when Scarlet Witch turns the sword that Gannon has holstered at his side into a hawk which grabs the kryptonite out of his hands and begins flying back toward Superman. Sephiroth then throws Masamune at Darkseid, not doing any permanent damage but knocking him over and disrupting him from finishing off Superman. Bowser then shoots fire killing the Hawk that was carrying the kryptonite. Jet Li picks it up and starts running as far away from Superman as possible. Oh and by the way Seraph and the Green Ranger are still doing some really gnarly kung-fu moves on each other. Sephiroth runs at Darkseid in order to try to get back his sword but Darkseid blasts him with Omega beams. Sephiroth suprisingly survives this attack, grabs Masamune and begins to attack Darkseid. Parasite runs up on Superman as the weakened Superman attempts to blow his superbreath and keep him away. He is not strong enough to do so and Parasite begins sucking out Superman's powers. Bowser jumps in as if to attack Parasite but instead throws superman over his shoulder and jumps as far away as possible. Jet Li gives the Kryptonite to Gannon who then teleports back next to Parasite who now with Superman's aura within him becomes very weakened by the kryptonite. Darseid blasts Sephiroth with a full force Omega beam and this time finishes the job, killing off the great SOLDIER. Bowser, knowing now more than ever that Superman is their only chance of defeating Darkseid has gotten him far enough away that he has begun to regain his strength. Jet Li and Gannon procede to beat the crap out of Parasite. Seraph and Tommy are so evenly matched that neither of them seem to be gaining an upper hand in their ongoing battle. Gannon and Jet Li finish off Parasite and with the rest of his powers Gannon destroys the kryptonite. Scarlet Witch, who turned Josh's old sword into a motorcycle so she could get close enough to Superman then turns Bowser's bracelet into kryptonite. Bowser instantly eats the bracelet and Superman instinctively throws Bowser at Scarlet Witch, this kills them both. Darkseid does not get to Parasite in time to help him but he easily finishes off the weakened Gannon and Jet Li with his bear hands. Superman flies up punching Darkseid, Darkseid returns with a quick Omega beam blast but Superman blocks it with his own eye beams. Darkseid attacks with a flurry of punches but Superman takes to the air; in the end it would be Superman's speed, not his strength that would finish Darkseid as he flies up behind him and stabs him in the neck with the green dagger that had been knocked into the air by Seraph, out of The Green Ranger's hand. Darkseid dies but as Superman flies over to help Seraph, Seraph stops the battle and tells Tommy that he has fought well and that he is no longer a threat to The Oracle. The Green Ranger leaves with his life.
TEAM ED IS VICTORIOUS!
