Near “Ross Two-Four-Eight”,
a star of Andromeda,
Unicron hovered.

The Planetoid Ranx
encircled the Transformer
as a living moon.

I, Mikaboshi,
King of Chaos and Darkness,
rode into battle.

Ego carried us
through folds of Hyperspace to 
our destination.

We were expected,
of course, upon arrival.
Can't fool Unicron.

The three planets gauged
the battle soon unfolding,
and it unfolded.

The first to launch were
Ham Salad and Chewchilla;
Such brave parodies.

Chewchilla shot Ace,
but Robo-King swatted him
with a cold steel hand.

A Jedi V-Wing
failed to outmaneuver Ham
and was blown apart.

He sniped Lalala
upon Unicron’s surface,
but The Queen caught him.

With gathered debris,
The Prince travelled stealthily
to Ego’s backside.

Quite quickly he rolled
a Katamari so large
it became a threat.

Ego attempted
to fight the prince off with his
own antibodies.

But the little Prince
rolled them up with growing ease.
We had to step in.

Firing blind like fools,
the Martians threw flames at it,
igniting the mass.

After rolling them,
The Prince flung the ball to space
to become a star.

I stepped forward then
and stomped the tiny pest down,
then looked to the star.

King of All Cosmos
caught it above, and he dunked
it back at Ego.

The fireball flew,
but before it made impact
Doctor Light moved in.

As the star approached
she siphoned its light away
and it shrunk in size.

She finished it off
glowing with intensity,
brightly empowered.

With a blinding blast
she fired back at The King,
dead in mere seconds.

Robo-King and Queen
attempted to intervene,
but they stood no chance.

We took the battle
straight to Unicron, and the
enemy aboard him.

As Ego advanced,
Ranx increased its gravity
to pull Ego in.

A kamikaze,
he aimed for hard collision,
but Ego is fast.

We bolted around
striking at Ranx from behind,
a crash on our terms.

He was knocked far off,
out of Unicron’s orbit,
never seen again.

With allies in tow,
I teleported across
to board Unicron.

When he felt us land,
the planet swallowed Ego
in his hungry void.

A slew of robots
waited with Imperiex
as we charged head on.

Draco Malfoy fell,
first blood taken by Shockwave,
but metal is weak.

Our Commons were frail,
many fell to Transformers,
and some to GoBots.

I had no trouble;
Doctor Doomsday and Odin
helped me tear them down.

Imperiex, though,
Imperiex was stronger.
He took us some time.

He crushed the Jedi,
he destroyed Doctor Doomsday
with a small black hole.

Only with Odin
and Doctor Light’s combined strikes
did I crack his shell.

His energy poured
from the breaks in the armor,
struggling to flee.

Drunk with energy,
Doctor Light absorbed this too.
Brilliant, yet foolish.

The power burnt her,
eyes pouring beams of hot light,
hair and skin smoking.

Unicron stirred then,
taking on his robot form
for this final fight.

“You dare oppose me,
Unicron, Lord of Chaos?
You won't survive long.”

“Lord of Chaos?
I am its King, Unicron.
You are no match.”

Weapons fired free,
missiles from his every pore.
Too much for Odin.

I wouldn't be harmed,
not by mere technology.
I grew to his size.

Doctor Light was safe;
shrouded in blistering light,
no missile reached her.

With difficulty,
I grappled with Unicron,
attempting restraint.

Light flew wildly,
screaming and blasting starlight
into Unicron.

She was hurting him,
melting through him in small bursts.
We would be his death.

It seemed nearly over.
We didn't expect Goof Juice.
We never could have.

Unicron’s shoulder
let open a secret hatch.
From it rose Geney.

In his Tron light suit,
he tossed his disc straight for Light.
What was it made of?

Somehow it survived,
where countless missiles burnt up,
and cut in to Light.

She released it all.
Every ray of stolen light
erupted from her.

Unicron, Goof Juice,
and Ross Two Four Eight itself
all went down with her.

There was nothingness.
Space was left vast and empty
as I drifted there.

Yet I wasn't alone.
I could sense something else there,
blasphemously pure.

Stardust swirled around,
the system was rebuilding.
Vile, orderly.

There was perfection,
sickening and organized,
in the arrangement.

I felt it out there,
a presence in the fabric
of the multiverse.

There was a bright light,
brighter than Doctor Light’s peak,
yet without any heat.

It tore into me,
my very essence dissolved
by its radiance.

We were doomed to fail.
The Presence plays a long game,
and all are his pawns.

I'll take the win and Unicron though!

Artifact said...

I think it was supposed to say TEAM.

Looks like Daveatu was up a little late.

Artifact said...

Also, awesome job with the match. Nice to see a break from the usual prose.

Lickolas said...

Very cool match Dave, definitely TEAM though.

Artifact said...

I just read it again and noticed that they were all haiku's. Very creative. Not an easy task.

David Parks said...

Pffft, it was TEAM, wasn't it?

Adam can still have Unicron, though, I'm sure Ed's cool with that.

David Parks said...

Figured I'd get the most out of Chaos King only speaking in haiku.

Josh the Commish said...

Very cool match!! Nice win Ed.

Lickolas said...

I read this again Dave, such a cool match. I really loved it. Keep on trying new things, that is what this league is all about.
