UNIVERSE BOWL IX: CHAPTER XIX

City Region – Coruscanti Sector. . .

Blade’s heightened senses hear the hissing sound around the corner.  Blade motions for Whistler to stop in the alleyway in which they walk.  Blade brings his glove to his lips, enforcing his order to remain quiet.  He slowly draws his sword.  The vampire hunter tips the steel in order to look into the blade and see his enemy.   He reacts swiftly to the approaching shadow and slices off the head of Medusa.  Whistler bags the gorgon’s head to avoid turning into stone.
Whistler:  Another monster down.

The two’s victory remains short-lived as both Wolverine and Ki Adi Mundi jump from atop the balconies of the alley’s apartments onto the ground.  The mutant releases his claws and the Jedi ignites his lightsaber.
Blade:  Looks like we have a tango, Whistler.

Wolverine:  That’s right, bub!  Let’s dance!
The claws and swords clash as Blade and Wolverine battle.  Whistler fires his guns over a dozen times at Ki Adi Mundi, without success as the lightsaber deflects each of the projectiles.  Mundi reaches Whistler and strikes the man down.  Blade sees the death of his friend and lashes out at his foe.  Wolverine is impaled repeatedly, and the mutant falls.  As Blade is about to decapitate the mutant, a lightsaber’s blade burns through the hunter’s chest.  Blade wails.  Mundi spins around and cuts Blade’s head off.

Wolverine coughs blood, but slowly rises as his healing factor commences throughout his body.

Wolverine:  Thanks for the save, bub.
Ki Adi Mundi bows in recognition of being thanked.

Ki Adi Mundi: What are teammates for?

R.I.P Blade. May you walk in death as you walked in the day. Im not really sure what that's supposed to mean, but hopefully it sounds epic.
