Team S.P. Vs. Oblivio

Team S.P. is Xenomorph #1-25, Black Manta, Namor & his Griffin, Mimic, Aspen, SHIELD Agent #1-6, Blockbuster, The Enchantress, Mastermind, Vision, Female Sentinel #1-4, Brainiac in a Swift Boat, Navy Sailor #1-13, & Marian Ravenwood.

Oblivio is Chucky (w/ a yellow power ring & red lightsaber), Darwin, Triton, The Tiger Sharks: Lorka, Mako, Walro, Dolph, Octavia, Angel, & Dog Fish, Dementor #10, Black Dragon #8, Krayt Dragon #5, Purple Dragon #21, Ace Duck, Griffin #17, The Secret Saturdays: Zak Saturday (w/ green lightsaber), Solomon "Doc" Saturday, Drew, Fiskerton, Komodo, Zon, & Doyle Blackwell (w/ a blue lightsaber), The Scarlet Spider, Heavy, The Brotherhood of Evil: The Brain, Monsieur Mallah, Gen. Immortus, Garguax, & Madam Rouge, Edward & Bella, Vampire #99, Space Godzilla, Jet Jaguar, Widget (w/ body), Predator #46, Orion, & Mr. Incredible.


As the match begins Brainiac speaks to his teammate of 3 years Namor and says: "I believe I will take point during this match, I have a plan that is fool proof, and my 12th level intellect is obviously required for a match of this size". “I say NAY” retorts the Sub-Mariner, “it is I who have led this team to victory in 7 straight water matches and it is I who will continue to carry that mantle”. This power struggle remains unresolved as Namor dives deep into the salty water of the post-apocalyptic earth, where he is followed by Black Manta, Aspen, & Mimic; who has taken the powers of Namor, Aspen, & Mastermind for the time being. Brainiac sits in the back of the Swift Boat, which is being driven by Navy Sailors #1-3, they are also joined by Marian & The Enchantress. Brainiac realizes that Namor is not going to listen to his commands, so he uses what he knows his deep-sea bound teammates are going to do in formulating his plan of attack. He orders the Sailor to turn the small vessel around and hang back while the “lesser” members of Team S.P. cause some bonus damage. Little does Brainiac know that Triton’s plan of action, is not to dissimilar. Triton is deep under the water himself with Darwin (who has grown gills and flippers) and The Tiger Sharks (minus Dolph of course who is (Shocker) up at the top of the water getting air and reminding everyone that he is by far the most useless Tiger Shark). Triton says to Darwin that he realizes that despite their amazing individual power that their team is an underdog against the formidable Team S.P. squad and that if they are going to have a chance than they are going to have to win a war of attrition by letting their other teammates do as much damage as possible before the “true water powers” of the team show their faces. As the Oblivio crew moves in to attack, they are first met by Team S.P.’s Xenomorphs (just as Brainiac had planned). The large and powerful Xenomorphs move thru the water with a surprising amount of speed and grace. In the air, Oblivio has several combatants circling the water’s airspace, but Team S.P. has only Namor’s Griffin, who is being ridden by Mastermind and Vision who is flying around in his intangible state. We are assuming (just this once) for the sake of this match that the Krayt Dragon is like they were portrayed in the episode Robot Chicken, where they are sea dwelling creatures (and not giant desert creatures like they are typically portrayed). The giant Krayt Dragon leaps out of the water and comes down hard on 2 of the Aliens ripping them apart. Their acid blood barely slows down the massive creature, but the Krayt Dragon is eventually killed when the remaining 23 Xenomorphs rip the Tatooine bred monster to shreds. Dolph manages to kill a Xenomorph (fine I’ll give the guy a little credit since we are in a water match), but he is quickly torn apart by Xenomorph #3. Ace Duck is not only moving swiftly thru the water, but he is also using his laser gun to cap him sum Xenomorphs like it ain’t no thang. Ace Duck uses his gun to single-handedly kill 3 Aliens, and then kills one more with his bare ( well they’re still feathered) hands before he is sprayed by acid and brutally ripped apart. The Secret Saturdays (minus Doyle who is with the Oblivio air force due to his jet pack) fight valiantly even though they are a bit out of their element floating in the water. With their combined efforts are unable to take out more than just 5 Xenomorphs, before the are wasted as well. Heavy backs up The Scarlet Spider who takes out 2 Aliens plus Heavy’s one but they both succumb to the force of the perfect biological weapons as well. Edward takes out 2 while his long lost bitten brother from another human-vampire-uninfected mother takes out one before they are overcome by the Xenomorphs speed and ability to work as a unit, despite inferior intelligence. Predator #46 thinks to himself that it is supposed to be Alien Vs. Predator, not 10 Aliens Vs. Predator which definitely would make for a crappy movie, because it lasted about 10 seconds (or maybe some of you would have liked this version more: Your call). The Brain has combined his own intelligence with that of Mallahs & added the cunning military skills of Immortus and Garguax, to build a raft (yeah, that’s it a raft: what were you expecting a space ship? They’re smart but they don’t have much to work with here, give them a break). It is this raft that is keeping them away from the Xenomorph slaughter for the moment. The Xenomorphs are now circling in the water searching for more prey, when all of the sudden, Widget creates a portal, and from that portal appears Space Godzilla. Xenomorph #21 leaps out of the water and crushes Widget, but that was the last kill that they were credited with as Space Godzilla manages to use the element of surprise (and not to mention really big feet and cosmic fire breath) to take out the last 10 Aliens. The yellow lantern/evil doll known as Chucky leads the Oblivio air strike against Vision, Mastermind, & the Griffin. Mastermind uses his powers to take over whatever semblance of a mind Dementor #10 has and totally wipes it. But he is not Doyle Blackwell comes flying up in his jetpack, but Mastermind makes him turn the lightsaber on himself before he can cause any damage to Team S.P. Mastermind’s brief reign of terror comes to an end though, when Purple Dragon #21 flies over top of the Griifin and bites off Mastermind’s head. Griffin retaliates and goes in for the kill on the dragon, which he gets. Namor’s Griffin then attacks Griffin #17 and creates the same result, with Griffin #17’s large furry body falling to the salty waters below. It is unable to be known who would have come out on top of the battle between the Griffin and Black Dragon #8, because before the fight could be finished Chucky used an enormous yellow energy produced axe to cut them both in half. As a Watcher, I almost went against the rules and asked Chucky why he did this when it killed his own teammate as well, but Chucky was to busy maniacally laughing. The Brotherhood of Evil is traveling alongside Orion & Mr. Incredible on the where to Brainiac’s swift boat, while the 4 Sentinels, one of whom is carrying Blockbuster are flying in toward Space Godzilla & Jet Jaguar. Sentinel #2 throws Blockbuster at Jet Jaguar and Blockbuster grabs a hold of the Ultra Man rip-off/Godzilla BFF. The 2 of them begin pounding on each other with punches that could easily level buildings, but the 2 of them do not let up at all, even as they fall in to the water. Space Godzilla manages to take out Female Sentinel #1 & 3 with his cosmic fire breath, and then finishes off #4 with a haymaker that breaks the advanced Sentinel in 2. Jet Jaguar manages to finish off Blockbuster, but as he does he is caught with a barrage of firepower from Sentinel #2 which finishes the weakened Jet Jaguar. Jet Jaguar’s death is avenged very quickly by his best friend forever’s cosmic cousin only seconds after the fight. Vision is able to stay intangible while Chucky swings his red lightsaber thru the nothingness. Vision continues to stay intangible thru the yellow energy aura that Chucky’s ring is emanating as well, but he foregoes his intangibility for only a second and only in his hands which is what he uses to crush in Chucky’s little plastic head. The Brain is not outsmarted very often, but Brainiac is able to see the ace that is his intelligence and then trump it. The raft approaches Brainiac’s swift boat, but as it does The SHIELD Agents and Navy Sailors all rip off their snorkels and jump out of the water to defend their leader. As the agents and sailors execute their diversionary tactic, Enchantress takes over the minds of Mr. Incredible and Orion. She uses her feminine wiles to make them fight each other for her love. They both become so obsessed with both the fight and the prize that they drown while trying to win them both. Space Godzilla comes up from behind but Brainiac executes a fail safe that he secretly inserted in to Vision at the beginning of Season 1. Brainiac remotely takes over Vision’s mind and orders him to fly into Space Godzilla’s heart while in his intangible state. Vision then (unknowingly) turns his body into a substance as hard as diamond, killing both himself and Space Godzilla. The agents and sailors are dying quick but are serving their purpose as well. They manage to destroy the raft, kill Garguax and most importantly break open The Brain’s canister, before they are all killed. Mallah, Rouge, & Immortus are all aboard the cramped swift boat wreaking havoc. Brainiac rips Immortus’ head clean off while Madam Rouge easily takes out the 3 remaining Navy Sailors. Monsieur Mallah kills Enchantress with a swift kick to the head and then tries to crush Marian Ravenwood with his fists; but Marian dodges out of the way in the knick of time and sticks her saber into his back, piercing his heart. She is then strangled to death by Madam Rouge’s elasticized arms. Madam Rouge then moves even quicker than Brainiac can think as she trips him up with her stretched left arm and then brings her right leg down on his “big brained” head like it was an anvil, to finally kill the mighty Brainiac. Madam Rouge has little time to celebrate this victory as the swift boat is quickly capsized by the powers of Aspen. Rouge dies and Namor looks to Aspen and says: we should probably actually begin this battle now”. Namor, along with Black Manta, Mimic, & Aspen swim deep down into the ocean depths where they find Triton, Darwin, & The Tiger Sharks (minus Dolph, but they are better off without him). Namor and Triton begin battling with each other and find that they are evenly matched. The 2 combatants are both in their prime environment and are showing it as this amazing battle takes place. Mimic battles with Darwin in a similar battle, while Black Manta and Aspen take on The Tiger Sharks. Black Manta and Aspen don’t work together very well, but it is well enough for them to meet each other in the middle of the small battle area after they have wiped out Lorka, Mako, Walro, Octavia, Angel, & Dog Fish. Darwin’s ability to adept to anything is more than just amazing, but Mimic has the ability to use a person’s own abilities against them. So not only is Mimic’s body adapting to the surroundings in the exact same way that Darwin’s is, he also retains the powers of Namor and Aspen as well, which are what he uses to kill Darwin. Triton may have had what it takes to kill Namor, but once The Sub-Mariner’s buddies come to lend him a hand, he just doesn’t have what it takes. Triton puts his 3 pronged weapon into the helmet of Black Manta, but that is the only one of the 3 he is able to make join him in death, as he is overwhelmed by Namor, Aspen, & Mimic.
TEAM S.P. IS VICTORIOUS!

Good match Josh, such hate for that totally useless Tiger Shark.

Nice match Fred! You still are King of the Water.

The 2 blue lightsaber were given to the 2 Silk Spectres. Cost is plus 3 for each. No extra cost when played with their respective teams.
