TEAM Vs. Two Hungry Dinomites with Bubble Fightin Fun Down Tight

TEAM is Grey Jedi Master Josh Houslander, Laya Houslander: Jedi Knight, Alex Houslander: Young Jedi Knight, Scarlet Houslander: Jedi Padawan, and Grayson Houslander: Jedi Youngling, Mike Tyson, Steven Segal, The Rat Pack: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop, and Dr. Robotnik.

Two Hungry Dinomites with Bubble Fightin Fun Down Tight are: Snake Eyes and Daredevil.


It was the best party they had ever had at the grand ole Houslander Apartment. Everybody was having a great time. Laya was playing the piano while Josh pretended to know what he was doing on the Mandolin in the background while Frank and Dean serenaded the place. Segal even let his hair down and let Sammy show him some dance moves. Old Steve had no idea that a black, Jewish guys could have such skill. Cultural tolerance win for the day!! Alex, Scarlet, Robotnik, and Lawford were engaged in an intense Mario Kart battle, while Grayson was using his super strong arms in an arm wrestling match with Tyson. Joey Bishop was the ref, giving hilarious play by play. A great time was being had by all until they remembered one thing...... They forgot to invite Daredevil and Snake Eyes. Josh swears that he did invite them, they just didn't get the invitation. Or maybe they did get it, but Daredevil didn't see it, and Snake Eyes wouldn't tell him about it (you guys getting these nerd jokes?? Still with me??).

Either way, the duo wasn't happy and burst through the door of the apartment looking for a fight. Segal and Tyson, their fighter instinct taking over, instantly jump into action looking to defend the home. Tyson comes in fast with a hard right hand, connecting on Daredevil, but Daredevil is actually able to take the punch from Tyson and stay on his feet. Matt Murdock then leaps behind Iron Mike, preferring to not stand toe to toe with the champion and wraps his Billy-club-grappling-rope contraption around the neck of Mike and chokes the life out of him. Steven Segal grabs a kitana blade out of the closet and attacks Snake Eyes, Segal is able to hang with the ninja master for a few seconds, but eventually finds himself at the wrong end of The infamous GI Joe blade.

Josh gathers his four kids into Laya and Scarlet's room at the back of the apartment and gives them strict orders. “After I walk out, barricade this door. And if we can't defeat the two Dinomites, then Force leap out of the window and get yourselves to safety. The match doesn't matter. Just save yourselves”. Josh says.

“The match always matters Pops”. Alex replies.

“Just do what you're told Young Jedi” Josh assures his son.

Josh then runs out the door to join the battle in progress.The Rat Pack, who have all pulled old nickel plated revolvers out of their suit coats have kept the Dinomites at bay for a little while Dr. Robotnik begins to convert all of the retro video games, audio equipment, and VHS tapes into the types of weapons of war that keep Beto O Rourke up at night. Daredevil fights off the many mini robot gadgets, while simultaneously dodging bullets from the Rat Pack; but the little robots stop once Snake Eyes, sheaths his sword for a moment and puts a hollow point (err, I mean green laser blast that is safe for children to see) between the eyes of the guy who is not called Eggman, should never be called Eggman, and SHALL NEVER be called Eggman.

Meanwhile, back in the bedroom Laya and Alex are arguing over what they should do, while Scarlet and Grayson, ready to follow their older siblings await a decision. “WE NEED TO WIN THIS MATCH LAYA. IT'S NOT EVEN A RETREAT WEEK”. Says Alex.

“Dad told us what we needed to do. We'll escape out the window and try to get away” Says Laya.

“But Dad always says not to try, but to do”. Grayson chimes in.

The argument continues between Laya and Alex, when Scarlet finally stops them: She says: “Hey Laya, since when do you and Dat ever listen to Daddy anyway”??

With that comment, Laya and Alex both ignite their lightsabers and slice through the barricade that they had made for the door, busting back into the hallway. They get out there to see that Daredevil has single-handedly taken out all of the Rat Pack (their aim with those revolvers kinda sucked and not one of them brought a speed-changer). On the other side of the living room Josh and Snake Eyes are engaged in a pitched sword battle, with the well-forged blade of Snake Eyes actually staying in tact while parrying the lightsaber swings from Josh. But once Daredevil diverts his attention to that battle Josh cannot focus his attention where it fully needed to be. Daredevil knocks the Purple Lightsaber from the left hand of Josh with his weapon and the four Jedi kids enter the room just in time to see Snake Eyes send his blade into the chest of their Dad. Grayson screams “NOOOOO” and lets a slight bit of anger show as he ignites his Double-Bladed lightsaber and rushes at Snake Eyes powered by the strongest legs ever (especially the top part of his legs). Snake Eyes dodges out of the way and attempts to attack Grayson; but Alex is there and blocks the attack with his Blue lightsaber. Snake Eyes goes on the offensive against Alex, but the Young Jedi's flawless Form Three execution calmly blocks every swing of Snake Eyes' blade. Over by the kitchen, Scarlet is leaping around in a flurry of Form Four acrobatic moves, that get the strange weapon of Daredevil tangled and discombobulated. This confusion allows for Laya to hit the Defender/Secret Avenger with a powerful Force push that send him into the wall and knocks several vintage action figures to the ground. Daredevil is exhausted from following Scarlet and has the wind knocked out of him from hitting the wall, when he says: “I wasn't expecting such an attack from those so young”.

“Let's just call it home field advantage” Laya says as she rushes at him with Jedi Speed. In the blink of an eye, faster than Murdock's sixth sense (or is it a fifth sense) can kick in he feels both the white and yellow blades of Laya from the front and the green saber of Scarlet from behind enter his chest.

Snake Eyes remains on the offensive against Alex, over by the entry door when Grayson jumps onto the retro stereo system and from the highground throws his double-bladed lightsaber at Snake Eyes. The GI Joe begins to divert his attention towards the incoming projectile; but before he can even complete his swing, Alex has already taken advantage of the opening and relieved Snake Eyes of his head.

Josh lay dying on the floor as he breaks the fourth wall, going in and out as Grey Jedi Master and Watcher of the League...... With his dying breath he says: “You needed this win kids, good job. I love that you never listen”......
