UNIVERSE BOWL IX: CHAPTER IX

Death Star. . .

Dr. Doom stands on the bridge of the Imperial battle station. He crosses his arms in stoic anticipation of what is to come.  Black Lantern Loki strolls next to his teammate.

Dr. Doom: Our weapon is now fully operational.  It is ready to enter into the Universe Bowl and make its presence known to all.

BL Loki:  What is the weapon’s point of destruction?

Dr. Doom: We shall focus on the City Region.  In the past, each year, that region is where most battles occur and is often the nexus of the Universe Bowl itself.

BL Loki: Victor, if we focus on the City Region we will not only destroy the Slaves’ troops, but also a substantial number of our own.

Dr. Doom:  Incorrect, BL Loki.  We have already notified our troops who have been transported to the area to trek to the other nearby regions.  The only remaining combatants in the city will be those of the Slaves.  Thus, we shall not only have the Slaves’ decimated, but our troops at full capacity for the remainder of the match.

BL Loki:  Brilliant plan, Doom.

Dr. Doom:  My team expects nothing less of me.

Dr. Doom touches his head module and instructs the Death Star inhabitants to attend their battle stations.  BL Loki looks around and notices the large number of individuals running around the area and attending their stations.

BL Loki:  Doom, one last item.  How did you manage to obtain all of the individuals to assist you in manning the Death Star?  We do not have that many on our roster.

Dr. Doom: I have requested the assistance of q, who, as always, has helped.

BL Loki:  Brilliant, once again.

Dr. Doom smiles beneath his mask.

Dr. Doom:  Only brilliant if we are successful in our endeavor. . . which we will be. . .
