The newest incarnation of the Play-Off Planet is fresh and unblemished. It's beauty is untainted by the mindless bloodshed, for now. This is how it always starts, but soon a new cycle of destruction will ravage it's surface. That is when the cycle starts anew, and the slate is wiped clean as the planet reforms once again. The Play-Off Planet does carry and ancestoral memory, however, and battles past are not lost to any who are willing to listen. It speaks of the famous and infamous alike, and the wars they have waged against one another. A past battle in particular is quite interesting.

The last Kryptonian General smiles despite his mounting injuries, for he knows that he has finallly found a battle worthy of himself. The Amazonian champion does the same as she stands to clash with him again.

The Death that Walks intends to expand the Negative Zone into this reality, but The Protector of the Universe and The Torchbearer stand at the ready to repel him.

A Jedi Knight emerges from the wreckage of his downed V-Wing, and stands before his former Padawan, The Sith Dark Lord. The Jedi momentarilly wonders if he could have ever saved his pupil, or if The Force would always draw this conclusion no matter his actions. The Sith's hatred blinds him to any such thoughts, and his ignited lightsaber proves this to his former mentor.

The fires of The Phoenix do not burn brighter when doubled, in fact, they are extinguished completely.

Mutant psychics, two sides of the same coin, do astral battle with an alien whose mental instability makes her a dangerous foe. Minds are broken, and even the survivor knows he will not be the same after such a strain.

An ancient evil with a powerful artifact tries again to get revenge on The Masters of the Universe. A weapon from beyond the stars cannot sway the tide of the fight, and The Power of Grayskull may have seen the end of days.

The outworlder's blackened tongue spews lies and half-truths alike to confuse his prey. The ghastly white faced harlequin is in no mood for a lecture, and proves it with his rocket lancher.

A stalwalt paragon of Cybertron rises again to challenge a Fallen member of his race. The recent death of his companion bolsters his will in the face of long odds.

The son of The Mad Titan brings death and undeath with a touch. The former Horsemen of Death, now a ringbearer of life, and The Avatar of Nekron are both offended by this being's existence.

The Black Order's powerhouse faces down an unlikely pairing of mutants. The Scientist and the berserker's son show true bravery despite an insurmountable force.

The terror of Middle Earth fights the King of the Daemonites to decide whose royal lineage shall continue. No matter the victor, the outcome will be horrific to any that survive.

The Master of Magnetism's clone gives a lesson on weapons being beholden to their base material, no matter how powerful they may be. The darkness of Midnight falls over The Glaive.

A Rogue mutant rejects the singular vision of her former leader, but even she questions her convictions as her heart ices over.

A Kaiju from the cosmos runs afoul of a Greek warrior powered by fear. A mutant sorceress does what she can to even the odds, but the mighty warrior thinks that his quest may have been hexed from the start.

A wizard fights valiantly against his power ringed agressors. He defends against the spectrum of Will and Fear successfully before the power of Hate makes him The Boy Who Lived, and not the boy who lives.

However, these conflicts are insignificant, for the end of this universe is at hand.

The Undead Devourer of Worlds has roamed unchecked for too long. In a previous life, he merely destroyed a planet during consumption. Now his hunger changes the worlds into corrupted wastelands, and over time these amassed poisoned planets have weakened this universe to a point of no return. A rebirth must be made, not only for this reality, but for the good of the multiverse as well. All of Eternity shudders as it contracts, and whether it ends with a bang or a whimper, this reality is remade anew. Only those willing to listen may hear the echoes of it's death.

He awakens with a familiar chill and wipes the sweat from his brow. He struggles to remember anything from his nightmare, the same nightmare that has plagued him for a week. He shrugs off the alleged false memories, and begins to clear his head.

"I seriously need to stop reading FFL matches before bed" reasons Ryan Poteracki.

That match was a bigger abortion than the one Uniqua had to have in that back alley with the rusted coat hangar I pulled from that Chinese dry cleaner's trash can. Tragic. Hey NuFuGuTu- F@&k you!
