Ahhhhh. Now to get started for real. The match that everyone knew would happen, the annual TEAM Vs. The Horsemen play-off match. These 2 teams are undoubtedly part of the most talked about rivalry in all of Fantasy Fantasy. The mutual respect, coated with unspeakable animosity between these 2 teams is like no other. The only 2 teams to ever win The Universe Bowl, the 2 teams that have battled each other more than any 2 teams, The 2 teams that have competed in more play-off matches than any other team (actually the Slaves are tied with them for that one), the 2 teams that are considered by many to be the best 2 teams in Fantasy Fantasy, not just today; but from day 1, despite the fact that they play not just in the same league; but in the very same division. As the match finally begins, we find members of both teams sprawled all over (and above) the play-off . Neither teams waste any time attacking one another. They both know that in a match between The Horsemen and TEAM that there is no over-thinking, no over-analyzing, and definitely no hesitating. Up in space The USS Enterprise is beginning to accelerate to attack speed toward Unicron who anxiously awaits competition from his most hated rival. Mark is piloting under orders from Capt. Denowi, when Luke Skywalker walks onto the bridge and says: “Let me in there Mark. You be my co-pilot and let Josh take over the fire controls”. Luke then hands Capt. Ce Ce Denowi a piece of paper and says: “These orders come from Coach Lectur himself, I hope there is not a problem”. Ce Ce looks at the piece of paper, nods and says: “Very well. Do as he says Mark. It sounds like Hannibal has a plan”. Back on the surface of the play-off planet, Set has completely taken over the city, but Hal Jordan Parallax, along with Sixshot, and Sunstorm have taken flight and begun to circle the enormous 7 headed serpent. Superman and Superboy Prime have set the stage for a battle far above the desert, while below them Galvatron is about to battle Apocalypse. In a not-so dense area of the forest region Supergirl and Sinestro are preparing to battle Thor and Thunderstrike, while Achilles is searching for prey. Chris and Julie have hidden their Delorean behind a billboard on the outskirts of the city because they are under strict orders from Coach Lectur to wait until the match is well under way to use the time machine, in case they have to reverse something that has benefited TEAM. But TEAM recognizes the value of The Time Machine as well, and The Oracle has put Superboy in charge of finding the Delorean. Mr. June himself, Space Ghost brings his crew along to sneak up on what he thinks is an unknowing Achilles. Space Ghost takes aim at the Greek, but Achilles jumps out of the way and then reveals that he has a partner in his trek thru the forest. Circuit Breaker jumps out from behind a tree and grabs a hold of the utility belts of both Jan and Jace. This sends a charge thru their bodies that is more than enough to kill them. She then grabs a hold of Space Ghost. It takes much more effort on the part of Circuit Breaker, but in the end the result is the same and she takes out Space Ghost by shorting out his hardware. Circuit Breaker is very proud of her accomplishment, so much so that she doesn’t see Achilles warning her about Blip who is coming up behind her. Blip is smart enough to know that with all of his electronic devices he cannot make physical contact with her, so he uses his laser gun to catch Circuit Breaker in the back of the head; and finish off for good a woman who has killed so very many of his TEAMmates over the years. Achilles is mad at himself, as he slices Blip in half, just knowing that he wasn’t quite fast enough to save his fellow Horsemen. Griffin comes driving up like a madman in his semi to help out Thor and Thunderstrike, but Supergirl just grabs the semi by the hood and uses it to crush her opponent Thunderstrike. Griffin dies from this brutal act, but Thunderstrike still requires a little bit more abuse, which Supergirl gladly dishes out to The Asgardian with her fists. Thor knocks Supergirl out of the way temporarily but is then confronted with Sinestro. Sinestro, who has been hailed as both the best green lantern ever and the best yellow lantern ever has both rings at the same time for the first time ever. Thor attempts to come down hard on Sinestro with Mojinir, but Sinestro uses a shield of green energy to block the mystical hammer. He then lifts his right hand, which bears the yellow ring and uses it to bring down a yellow lightning bolt loaded with yellow energy that completely fries the Asgardian. “Who is the god of thunder now”? Sinestro asks of the corpse. Up in the skies, Superboy Prime attacks fiercely against the alternate (yet original) version of himself. Despite Superboy Prime’s armor and intense demeanor, it is his arrogance that gets the best of him as he opens himself up to a neck-breaking double-fisted attack from Superman that proves that he is not just the original, but also the strongest. Laura Sroka leads the charge against Achilles with her husband Mike and idle Jackie Chan following close behind. Seraph does not rush in quite the same amount of haste, but is there in the heat of the battle as well. Achilles draws his sword and stabs Laura in the chest, he then spin attacks and takes Jackie Chan’s head right off. Mike takes flight with his Mandalorian jet pack, but Achilles launches his sword into the air and sends it straight thru his face. Seraph attacks Achilles before his sword lands and knocks him to the ground with a couple of well-placed kicks. Achilles pops back up and grabs his sword off of the ground, he charges toward Seraph but Laura pops back up to defend her teammate. Achilles thought that Laura was dead but she was still very alive due to the protection from her mithril vest. Achilles ducks underneath the swing from Laura’s lightsaber and this time uses his sword to take off her head. Seraph catches Laura’s blue lightsaber before it hits the ground and in one fluid motion attacks Achilles. He first goes for Achilles’ ankle and then his neck, with the hits resulting in the Greek Warriors’ death. Superboy uses his x-ray vision to see thru the well-placed hiding spot of The Horsemen’s Delorean. Chris and Julie notice that they have been noticed and they take off. “Get us out of here”! Julie screams. “This car’s pretty quick, but I don’t think it can outrun a Kryptonian”. Chris replies. He finishes: “I think the only way to outrun him is to turn this flux compasitor on and get out of this time all together”. Julie activates the flux compasitor, and Chris begins accelerating; but in the blink of an eye Superboy is already on top of them picking away at the car. Julie leans out the open window and shoots a couple of star blasts at him from her wand, but they do absolutely nothing to the super hero. “Let’s get the f**k out of here Chris! Past, future, black hole I don’t care! Just get us out of here”! Chris replies: “I can’t! If I activate it now, Superboy will come with us and destroy this car in- between times. Then we’ll all be stuck there and die in the nothingness of time”. Julie replies calmly: “Do you mean Superboy would be stuck there as well”? “I think so“? Chris answers. Julie says: “In that case, PUNCH IT“! With that being said Chris slams the Delorean into 5th gear with Superboy still attached to the back. They enter into the would-be brief nothingness just as Superboy puts a fist thru the stainless steel roof which in essence kills all 3 of them. Galvatron is anxious to use his new red lantern ring and loves how easily his rage is fueled by the simple little trinket. He flies thru the city region with greater ease then he ever experienced; blasting thru buildings as if they were made of Styrofoam. Just when Galvatron begins to think that he might just be invincible, he is hit with a crushing blow that knocks him to the ground. Apocalypse takes this opportunity to grow to roughly the same size as Galvatron. Apocalypse then lays into Galvatron with every bit of his power, breaking thru the red energy aura and crushing his Cybertronian metal body. Hal Jordan Parallax leads the charge against Set with Sixshot and Sunstorm flanking him. Jordan doesn’t seem to be able to instill any fear in the enormous 7 headed serpent but his will is definitely raging as he unleashes a fireball of mixed energy at one of the heads of Set. This burst of power completely vaporizes Set’s head, but as he is thinking about how he only needs to do this 6 more times, 2 of Set’s other heads converge on his position and rip him apart devouring both him and his energy. Sixshot flies thru the air and lands on the cracked road beneath him, using all 6 of his robot forms to evade and attack the much larger Set. It doesn’t take Sixshot long to figure out that even though his evasive maneuvers have been successful thus far that he can’t hold out forever and that his laser attacks are having very little effect on his reptilian opponent. Sixshot looks to his left and sees his fellow Decepticon and Horsemen Sunstorm flying dangerously close to Set as well. Where Sixshot’s moves are more calculated and methodical, Sunstorm’s seem to be more erratic and dangerous; but even Sixshot has to admit to himself that despite the different methods of flight Sunstorm has been just as successful in his evasion as he has... If they could only think of a way to stop the gigantic beast. Sixshot saw how much power it took for Hal Jordan to be able to destroy just one head of Set’s and even he can put aside his arrogance to admit to himself that he doesn’t have that kind of raw power in his arsenal, but maybe Sunstorm does. Sixshot catches a glimpse of Sunstorm turning around and flying away. Many would think that Sunstorm is retreating from this fight, but Sixshot knows Sunstorm and knows that he must be flying away so he can build up speed. Sure enough, a couple of seconds later Sunstorm comes racing back on the scene at Mach 8. Aiming directly at the midsection of Set, Sunstorm crashes directly in to the great serpent, hoping that the nuclear explosion caused by his own unstable nuclear make-up could bring down the whole creature. Unfortunately Sunstorm simply does not have enough power to bring down Set all on his own but he does hit the nerves of 2 of his heads which cause them to shrivel up into nothing and then collapse into dust. Set screams with the pain that he was caused by the Decepticon and Sixshot takes advantage of the distraction caused by his insane deceased teammate. Sixshot lands on the back of the neck of one of Set’s other heads and begins sawing and blasting away at a central point in the back. Set flails his head like crazy, but Sixshot refuses to let go. The Decepticon assassin manages to make a huge gash at point blank range and then uses his own metal body, fueled by his own jets to rip the rest of the head right off. Sixshot is covered in serpent blood as he flies in his jet form on to the next head but Set begins to recover from these brutal attacks and catches Sixshot in the wing which sends him crashing to the ground. The damaged Sixshot manages to transform back into robot form, but it is not fast enough as Set rams his head directly into the ground where Sixshot was lying and crushes him to bits. Meanwhile, up in space The USS Enterprise is evading the laser blasts of Unicron like only a Skywalker can. Josh is firing repeatedly at their planet sized opponent, but he is finding that even The Enterprise's most impressive arsenal is accomplishing little more than annoying Unicron. As the Enterprise gets dangerously close to Unicron, Luke suddenly stands up and says: "Mark, take over the controls, it's time to start phase 2 of the plan". Mark does what he is told, while Luke uses Jedi speed to run down to the cargo hold of The Enterprise. Once he is down there he climbs in to the Blue Falcon which is already ready to go. Luke climbs in to The Falcon and ejects out of The Enterprise. The F-Zero hover-car lands on the leg of Unicron and starts driving at about 400 miles per hour up toward the head of the gigantic Transformer. Unicron puts his two hands together and brings them down hard thru the center of The Enterprise, doing irreparable damage to the ship. From inside the ship Mark screams to the rest of the crew: "Save yourselves. I'll drive what's left of this thing right into his chest and see what damage I can do". Ce Ce Denowi replies with: "No, I'm the Captain, if anybody is going down with this ship it is me". "Don't be ridiculous, the 2 of you can survive in space with your rings, I'll crash in to him and you guys can live to do some more damage, and besides I'm working the controls right now and we don't really have time to argue about this". Mark says. "He's got a point Master Denowi". Josh says as he is already cutting a hole in the hull with his lightsaber. "Good luck Mark" Ce Ce says as she and Josh jump out of the ship into the cold of space. Mark does as he said he would and drives The Enterprise into the chest of Unicron. Doing a significant amount of damage to him. Luke drives like a pro to move around the debris surrounding Unicron’s chest on the way to his head. Denowi and Josh both fly toward Unicron’s head as well, small enough to not draw attention to themselves, Unicron is much more concerned with the hole in his stomach then the 2 lantern wielding Jedi flying toward him. Ce Ce Denowi looks over to Josh and says (yes they can talk in space, they are lanterns and jedis, so get over Bill Nye): “Follow my lead Josh, I have a plan”. Josh and Denowi find themselves right in front of the face of Unicron. Denowi positions herself right in front of Unicron’s right eye, while Josh is in front of his left. The 2 of them use their lantern rings to help fuel their already significant force powers and they both work up the most powerful force push that either of them has ever done. These 2 force pushes work to shatter the 2 enormous eyes of Unicron. Unicron screams in pain once his 2 eyes are shattered and he instinctively slams his own hands onto his head. This in turn does even more damage to his body but it also crushes the 2 Jedi heroes that did the initial damage. With these 2 new openings, Luke drives the Blue Falcon into Unicron’s eye socket and then works his way into the center of his head. Luke jumps out of the Blue Falcon, just letting it crash into the side of Unicron’s head. Luke thinks to himself that he was really wishing one of those lantern jedis would be able to stay alive so they could get him out of here, but that it didn’t change what he needed to do. Luke begins to concentrate and hesitates for a moment thinking that what he is about to do could be construed as using the force to attack and therefore an evil for a Jedi. “Ehhh, maybe just this once” Luke says to himself out loud as he creates a wave of force energy that blows every nut, bolt, and square centimeter of metal in Unicron’s head to dust to destroy the near invincible Transformer. Superman and Seraph, the 2 survivors of the original TEAM/Horsemen match-up that began this epic rivalry regroup with one another, while Sinestro lands next to Apocalypse and decides that it is time that they end this match once and for all. But before the 2 veteran FFLers can begin to execute their plan, Superman rushes in at speeds that are much faster than a speeding bullet and does not even slow down as he crashes thru Apocalypse, shattering the millennia old mutant into tiny shards. Sinestro takes flight, and then takes a combined control of his yellow and green rings, like no other being ever has. Sinestro unleashes his power, draining both of his rings onto Superman, while he is circling back from his attack on Apocalypse. The energies from the 2 rings seem to form a silhouette of Doomsday within their light as they first burn the suit off of the last son of Krypton and then burns the flesh off of his bones. Seraph jumps into action just a little to late to save his TEAMmate, but once he is there, he takes full advantage of Sinestro’s weakened state as he hits him with a barrage of hits, kicks and bullets aimed at his neck and head to finally end the impressive FFL career of Sinestro. Seraph has no time to appreciate his handy-work because seconds after he accomplishes his task, Supergirl flies by and takes his head off with ease on her way to battle Set. On her way to Set, Supergirl takes aim at his most visible head and starts blasting him with heat vision. By the time she is upon the creature, the head she was focusing on has exploded and she moves on to the next head. For her second Set head of the day she begins pounding on it furiously with her fists. She is shocked that this does not have more of an effect on the gargantuan serpent. Supergirl then grabs a hold of the neck of Set and begins squeezing it with all of her might. She has nowhere near the reach to wrap her arms around the entire neck, but one can easily see the rough skin of Set compressing with her squeeze. Supergirl sees the other head of Set moving towards her to attack but she thinks she can finish up with her squeeze before it gets to her. Supergirl continues her squeeze until her hands touch and the head of Set has snapped off, but while she is finishing her exhausting maneuver the other head of Set comes down over her body and swallows her in one quick gulp. The last remaining head of Set screams in a mix of agony and victory, not that there is any other living soul on the planet to hear him.
TEAM IS VICTRIOUS AND ADVANCES TO THE AMERICAN LEAGUE FINALS!
