Crack Danks vs Triple A Week 3

 Crack Danks - Taka (Sasuke, Jugo, Karin, Suigetsu), Jason Voorhies* w/ Red Lantern Ring, The Chicken w/ Force Saber, Qui-Gon Jinn, Taskmaster, Apollo*, Godzilla, Ultraman, Jaws (2), Jaws (3), TMNT (Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo), Flying Monkeys #1-#8


AAA - Avatar Korra, Katara w/ Indigo Lantern Ring, Desna, Eska, Poseidon, Vampire Poseidon, Martian Manhunter*, Jaws, Kit Fisto, Cetus, Cloverfield Monster, Vampire Captain Marvel*, Zombie #16*, Zombie #17*


Crack Danks sent Flying Monkeys #1-#8 in the morning to scout ahead AAA’s entrenched position. Using cloud cover and the sun to hide their movements they got close enough to observe their defenses and began the fly back to the rest of the squad, but the weather conditions became unfavorable and were they were spotted. The Assassins began hurling water at the scouts and we all know wings+water=problems, and they suffered heavy losses as they fell down and *SPLAT* 


Lucky #7 was the only survivor and with his allies acting as acceptable casualties it got enough distance to avoid enemy fire. Exhausted and shellshocked, the undefined gendered monkey made it back to the forward base and frantically informed them of what was ahead before falling asleep. The mission was to eliminate the Moon and Ocean Spirits to take away AAA’s tactical advantage. Crack Danks planned to launch an assault on the main defenses while Taka with Qui-Gon snuck past and took out the spirits. 


This strategy was not lost on AAA and they took precautions to protect the spirits. Sasuke summoned his Hawk, Garuda, and the strike team began the flight around the defenses. Under the ice Godzilla, Jaws 2, and Jaws 3 moved forward to disrupt the AAA position from beneath. Waiting for them was Poseidon, Cetus, and Jaws were lurking in the deep. The three sharks were in a frenzy and it became difficult to tell which shark was winning. Not wanting to risk killing a teammate both sides refrained from getting involved. Cetus sprang forward for Godzilla and attempted to wrap around his neck. Godzilla dove deeper to separate Cetus from Poseidon, but Poseidon had confidence in his sea monster and sent a current to take them even deeper, if not to at least keep Godzilla out of battle.


Back on the surface the rest of Crack Danks were unaware of the happenings under them and became concerned on how they should proceed with the assault. It was now midday and if the night began and the spirits were still alive, they would surely be destroyed. Apollo decided to take charge and begin the battle while they still had the Sun on their side. Crack Danks began shelling the AAA defenses as they moved forward. Jason, The Chicken, Taskmaster, Apollo, Ultraman, and the Ninja Turtles settled into a forward position and were looking for an opening. The Cloverfield Monster came crashing down on them, crushing The Chicken, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Ultraman grew into a giant and started to fight the monster to keep the rest of his team alive. 


Poseidon went to check on the frenzy where things were still unclear. Springing from the bloody murk came Jaws 3, who had claimed victory over Jaws, and the shark darted right at Poseidon. Poseidon dove straight through the beast with his trident, tearing a whole to the other side. From the depths came, floating up, bits of monster. Poseidon looked below and noticed a strange glow which seemed to be getting brighter. A large beam then disintegrated the God and broke through the ice on the surface destroying some of the AAA defensive walls. Back on land, the rest of Crack Danks could see this was their opportunity to engage the rest of the Assassins. Channeling the Sun, Apollo blinded the defenders as the remainder of the Crack Danks squad moved forward. 


Upon entering the main encampment fierce fighting began. Apollo and Jason decided that they were best suited to face off against Avatar Korra and Katara, while Taskmaster and the Turtles were to take out Densa and Eska. Taskmaster was able to keep up with Densa for the most part, both moving with extreme agility, but the Turtles were quickly out matched by Eska and were trapped in ice with ease by the experienced water bender. It has seemed that Task Master was slowly being pushed to the edge by Densa, but he was merely observing what he had. Mustering his strength he changed his attack pattern and turned the fight on its head. Eliminating Densa, Task Master tried to catch his breath, but Eska had come looking for her brother and froze his feet to the floor. She then ruthlessly got her revenge on Task Master and moved out to help the others. 


Taka was, by now, infiltrating the Spirit Cave, but Karin and Qui-Gon could sense that there was a force waiting to stop them. On the way Zombies 16 and 17 jumped out from the darkness and were quickly cut down. As they entered the Sprit Oasis, Kit Fisto, Martian Manhunter, Vampire Poseidon, and Vampire Captain Marvel were waiting for them, springing from their cover. Qui-Gon and Kit Fisto began a tense lightsaber duel of epic proportions, even rivaling the duel of fates. Suigetsu jumped into the water and tried to rush the spirit fish, but Vampire Poseidon was able to control the water he was in to make him ineffective. Captain Marvel targeted Karin, sensing she was pretty weak in combat and Jugo extended his flesh to protect her. Sasuke shot a fireball in the direction of Captain Marvel and she was able to dodge it, but this also made the Martian Manhunter frightened. 


Ultraman was sufficiently keeping The Cloverfield Monster out of battle, but it was pretty even. Eska came to break the stalemate and began freezing Ultraman’s joints which made openings for CM (we calling it CM now). CM stabbed Ultraman through his center and his body fell off the edge of the ice, sinking into the abyss. As they turned to return to their allies, Godzilla jumped out of the water and grabbed CM dragging it back in with him. Eska could do little now and moved back to the others. Apollo and Jason were both in heated battle. The Greek God had underestimated his opponent, but he soon found the power of the Avatar to be too much for him and was merely stalling for time. Eska appeared and stabbed him in the back. Jason was surrounded and put into a rage only matched by a 1950’s suburban dad when his wife slightly over cooks dinner by the death of all his friends.

Jason went on the offensive and never gave anyone time to breathe. He grabbed Eska and caved her head in with his bare hands. Jason gained in strength as the battle went on, but so did Katara as her allies fell. Katara told Korra to go find out what happened in the Spirit Cave while she took care of Jason. After an overly ham-fisted and forced women power scene that made me cringe so hard I couldn’t watch., Jason was dead. Katara then walked to the edge to see what happened to the Cloverfield Monster only to find it floating at the surface with no Godzilla. From the giant hole he made earlier, Godzilla jumped out and proceeded to destroy the city, because big monster.

Back in the cave, Sasuke, used Amaterasu setting the Martian Manhunter ablaze and he began frantically trying to put it out. Vampire Poseidon pushed a huge wave towards the Manhunter and the rest of Taka, who evaded. When the water subsided the Assassins looked on in terror as the black flames continued to burn through their efforts. Eventually the screams subsided and the corpse of the Martian Manhunter continued to burn into ash. Captain Marvel quickly moved to attack Jugo and Karin again, attempting to find retribution for her team. Jugo was knocked back and Karin was wide open for the kill. By now the floor was covered in a thin layer of water and Sasuke seeing the turning battle decided it was time for drastic measures. He balanced on his sword and sent a strong electrical current through it heavily damaging his enemies but also his friends, and killing Suigetsu. 


Qui-Gon and Kit Fisto had been going at it for a while now and the two were getting tired. Seeing an opportunity to move on his opponent Fisto changed his combat style and killed his old friend. Sasuke moved to take advantage of his enemies weakened state he cut off Captain Marvel’s head in a single cut and moved at Poseidon. Fisto had returned to the other battle and stabbed Jugo while he lay on the ground. Poseidon knew there was little he could do against Sasuke’s raw ability and died like a champion, receiving a Chidori to the heart. Now all that stood in Sasuke’s way was the fish man and he was extremely exhausted. Sasuke attacked with speed and variety and the Jedi Master soon fell. Sasuke now stood over the fish and pondered for a moment what he was about to do. Then he got over it and made some fish fry. The Avatar was caused a ton of pain by this and Sasuke could hear her down the tunnel behind him. He set out to finish her off and found her agonizing on the floor before finishing the job. 


Emerging from the caves, Katara met Sasuke as they watched Godzilla destroy the city. Katara had lost her bending but still had the Ring and Sasuke knew there was little he could do against that space magic on his own. He ran over to Godzilla dodging attacks the whole way. He then put his armor over Godzilla making him almost invincible. Without her bending, she could see that there was little to gain in fighting. As the blood moon rose, Godzilla let out a large roar before hitting Katara with its Atomic Breath, which Sasuke followed up with his sword.

Man why don't you just tell Ethan good job on writing the match. We all take bad losses and if he didn't see your team winning then it didn't win. The stories are supposed to be the fun part of this league. I lost a match years ago in the playoffs when Dora the Explorer killed Martian Manhunter. It was hilarious.

I totally understand disappointment in putting out your best team and losing to another team you feel was inferior. But honestly, reactions like this don't do anything to improve the spirit of the league. If anything, it makes watchers not want to watch anymore.

Chris is right. We all work hard to make the matches entertaining. Maybe I did have a worse team but it be what it is. Ethan wrote a fun match that we should all accept. *I'm not just saying this because I won*
