The Horsemen of Apokolips Vs. The Untouchables

The Horsemen of Apokolips are Luke Skywalker Grand Jedi Master & Astro-Droid #11 in a Y-Wing, Achilles, Supergirl, Superboy Prime, The Sentry, Exitar the Exterminator, Sinestro, The Joker, Bellatrix Lestrange, Sandworm #14, Sea Worm #8, & Josh Houslander on The Batcycle.

The Untouchables are Onslaught, The Fantastic Four: Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, & The Thing in Malevolence, Slippy Toad in an Arwing, (Green Lantern) Sinestro, Tomar Tu, Eclipso, The Female Furies: Gillotina, Lishina, Stompa, Berenadeth, & Mad Harriet, She-Hulk, Granny Goodness, The Constructicons, Merlin, & Legolas.


Up in space, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, & Human Torch have their hands full keeping The Malevolence going while they are being flanked on both sides by Slippy Toad in his Arwing and The thing in The Soulless One (The Malevolence’s personal attack craft). The rest of The Untouchables forces are in the city area of The Play-off planet where they are basically stuck because they don’t wish to travel into the bordering desert area which is being patrolled by Sandworm #14. Horsemen Head Coach Hannibal Lectur and Darkseid spoke to the team before the match and told them that Onslaught was going to have to be the main focus of the team if they were going to win the match. Exitar views the landscape and takes in the abilities of his enemies. The Celestial killer uses his super-advanced intellect to decipher who his biggest threats are and then jumps into action. The Celestial surprisingly does not go for Onslaught (perhaps Exitar thought that his mixed metal armor made him vulnerable). Instead Exitar attacks The Female Furies. The Furies welcome the attack and move against the huge Celestial but within moments, Exitar Exterminates all 5 of them with ease. The Constructicons merge to form Devastator to attack the Celestial but the Decepticon Gestalt is still smaller than Exitar. The 2 begin to clash but Exitar is able to overpower Devastator as well. Even with Devastator’s amazing strength he is unable to any real damage to Exitar. Exitar then begins flying out of the planet’s atmosphere where Luke is already headed in his Y-Wing toward The Fantastic Four. Tomar Tu and (GL) Sinestro fly up behind the Celestial to see if they can lend a hand to The Fantastic Four and Slippy Toad. Supergirl, Superboy Prime, & The Sentry all square off against Onslaught. Onslaught has had an amazing season this year and is accredited with The Untouchables turning their team around and becoming play-off contenders. Onslaught uses his magnetic abilities to pick up the wreckage of what was once The Constructicons and begins throwing it at his 3 attackers. The 3 super-powered Horsemen rush in towards Onslaught in an attempt to physically overwhelm which seems to work at first. Onslaught takes an incredible beating from the 3 but he manages to get a hold of The Sentry and once he does he breaks into The Sentry’s fragile mind and rips him apart from the inside out. This attack works well but Supergirl and Superboy use it to their advantage. While Onslaught is killing The Sentry the 2 Kryptonians use a mix of Heat Vision and Super Strength to overwhelm and kill Onslaught. Sinestro begins fighting with Eclipso while Legolas takes aim at Achilles with his bow. Legolas’ shots are dead on but Achilles hides behind his shield to stay safe. Achilles continues to run toward the elf until he is close enough to toss his shield and knock the bow out of Legolas’s hands. Legolas quickly pulls out his 2 Elven short swords but he knows before the fight even begins that his strong suit is his bow not his hand to hand skills and that when it comes to skills like that, there is no one better than Achilles. The 2 of them engage in a fierce sword fight but in the end it is Achilles who comes out on top as he slices open Legolas’s chest with his broad sword. Bellatrix Lestrange tries a vicious attack spell out but before she can finish it Merlin counteracts the spell and casts another one of his own. With a Wave of his wand Lestrange is cast into nothingness by Merlin and his superior wizardry. The Joker tries to attack Granny Goodness from behind but he is unable to finish her off. Granny throws the Joker about 10 feet and then starts moving toward him to finish him off but Josh zips by on the Batcycle and scoops the Joker up. Josh takes off in the other direction while him and the Joker both same simultaneously “Hey, did you know that you are in the presence of royalty”? They both look at each other funny as The Joker says: “I’m the Clown Prince of Crime”, while Josh says: “That’s Cool, I’m the King of Crunk”. The Joker then adds that he believes that he Josh should let him drive because he has stolen enough bat vehicles in his day to be considered a professional but he then drops it when Granny Goodness reappears and swings a club at them. Josh gets away from the attack and then swings the Batcycle back around. He activates a grappling hook off of the bike and which shoots directly into Granny’s neck to kill her. Josh and The Joker start to do donuts to celebrate when She-Hulk takes her fist and pounds the front of the bike into the ground which sends both Josh and The Joker flying off the bike. The pissed off former Horsemen begins walking toward the 2 of them while they try to gain their composure. The Joker pulls out 2 knives while Josh pulls out his Wakisachi. She-Hulk says: “Well well well; look what couple of losers Darkseid started today. I see he didn’t have the guts to start Emma Frost against me…. That’s typical Horsemen bull crap. So instead I get the Clown Prince of Crap and The King of Crud, you 2 are A**holes even by Horsemen standards”. Josh yells “lets take her out” to The Joker but as they start to run towards her She Hulk just grabs both of them by the neck and then crushes both of their heads together. Luke senses that the crew aboard The Malevolence have something up their sleeves which is why he tries to attack the much larger ship from his Y-Wing. He is not given the opportunity though because The Thing and Slippy Toad instantly engage him in a dog fight. Back on the planet She-Hulk continues her rampage by ripping The Horsemen’s very first pick Achilles in half. High above this fight, but not in space Sinestro uses a huge yellow energy construct of gun to blow Eclipso into pieces. Mr. Fantastic uses his superior intellect to transfer the energy from The Malevolence’s lasers into the twin Ion Cannons. With this energy plus the master targeting of both Invisible Woman and Human Torch The Fantastic Four are able to target both The Horsemen’s Sandworm and Sea Worm from space. With this intense amount of power they are able to completely destroy the 2 worms before they even new they were being attacked. Luke shows his flying prowess by first taking out The Thing in The Soulless One and then taking out Slippy Toad despite the Toad having a much faster and more maneuverable ship then Luke does. Luke was forced to use up 2 of his advanced missiles to destroy the 2 fighter ships but Luke knows exactly where to target the rest of his missiles. He sends them all into the ship’s Shield generator to completely destroy it and then open it up for Exitar to attack. Exitar begins pounding on the ship and kills Invisible Woman in the process. Mr. Fantastic, in his rage then pulls out The Ultimate Nullifier (or one like it) and pulls the trigger to use it for the first time in this Universe’s history. Mr. Fantastic, with his amazing level of intelligence has enough understanding of The Celestial race that the weapon actually works and destroys both Exitar and himself. Luke is shocked by this development and is then hit by some green energy from Sinestro and Tomar Tu. Luke is forced to eject from his Y-Wing onto the Malevolence which is already about to blow as well. Luke pops out of his Y-Wing’s ejection pod and starts racing toward an escape pod when he is met in the ship’s hallway by Human Torch. Luke uses the force to extinguish Johnny Storm’s flames and then uses his lightsaber to finish him off before he gets into one of The Malevolence’s escape pods and shoots himself back to the Play-Off Planet just before The Malevolence explodes. The 2 devastated teams regroup back on the surface where the 2 Sinestro’s cannot help but fight with the other version of themselves. The 2 of them take flight high above the water area of the planet and begin to do battle. Superboy takes advantage of his dislike for the green lantern corps as well which causes him to do the same thing with Tomar Tu above the Desert area of the planet. Luke pops out of the escape pod ready to fight and attacks Merlin. Luke attempts several force pushes but Merlin’s magic protects him from the force’s invisible movements. Merlin then casts a spell which affects Supergirl and slightly weakens her. Supergirl and She-Hulk then begin brawling fiercely. Merlin wants to interfere but when he sees Luke running his way he instead aims a lighting spell at Luke. Luke somersaults out of the way and then throws his lightsaber which connects with Merlin’s forehead to kill him. The enraged She-Hulk is having the match of her career as she finally gets the opportunity to fight back against the team that she feels wronged her so severely. Supergirl swings at She-Hulk but Barb gets out of the way just in time. She-Hulk then catches Supergirl with an amazing 2 handed uppercut to the neck which actually breaks Supergirl’s neck and kills her. Superboy manages to fight thru Tomar tu’s attacks and rip the green lantern’s torso off while Sinestro and Sinestro were still battling. Green Lantern rings and Yellow Lantern rings both have the awesome ability to basically do anything they want but Yellow rings have one specialty that comes in real handy and that is destroying Green Rings. This plus the added experience of the older and meaner Sinestro causes the Horsemen Sinestro to come out on top. She Hulk stands over the dead body of Supergirl ready to take on the entire league when she is surrounded by Sinestro, Superboy, and Luke. She Hulk looks at the 3 of them and screams: “BRING IT”! While Sinestro calmly says to her: “You know She Hulk, as the only person left in this match who was on The Horsemen with you, I would like to say about that trade; that for the record I always thought we got ripped off”. With those words the 3 remaining Horsemen power houses converge on She Hulk and grant her her last stand.
THE HORSEMEN OF APOKOLIPS ARE VICTORIOUS!
