The Striders of Rohan Vs. Affirmative Action Popeye's

 The Striders of Rohan are Treebeard, Blue Wizard #1 & 2, Arwen Evenstar (w/ blue lantern ring), Elrond, Faramir (w/ blue lantern ring), Eomer, Eowyn (w/ blue lantern ring), Gimli, Zufa Cenva, & Norma Cenva (w/ green lantern ring).

Affirmative Action Popeye's is The Centurions:  Ace McLeod, Jake Rockwell, Max Ray, John Thunder, & Rex Charger, Kane of Runefast, Cyclops, Archangel, Ice Man, Beast, Gandalf the White, Dr. Doom, Iroh (w/ Power Ring), Alucard, & Mysterio (w/ a Glock).

Popeye's sure has these Striders outgunned when it comes to modern technology and firepower; but they are having very little success in finding any of the Striders who have taken to the trees and relied on guerilla tactics in the heavily wooded setting of Sherwood Forest.  Much to the dismay of Gandalf the White, the rest of his squad, led by Cyclops himself is in no way holding back as they scorch the forest in search of their prey.  

Treebeard has still not yet decided if he is going to help out his teammates or not yet in this battle; as he is not even sure if this is his war.  Although he is certain that the Popeye's Forces are just as bad as orcs.  He is also visibly upset that The White Wizard has once again come to a forest with destruction as his intent.  

With as loud as Gimli is breathing, you would have thought Mysterio could have shot him in the dark; but he is unable to get his Glock 19 off before Gimli relieves him of his head, on the way to catch Beast with a gut shot as he attempts to attack from the top of the trees.  Faramir attempts to take flight with the aid of his new Blue Lantern Ring; but he is unable to keep up with Archangel, who slices through both the blue lantern aura and the midsection of Faramir with his wings, sending the son of Gondor falling to the ground in a pair of pieces.  

Okay....  So, I realize that a Watcher is not supposed to be biased; and I am not.  Just attempting an explanation before the fates decide what I witness.  Don't get me wrong.  The Centurions bop HARD.  I mean.  They straight bussin.  On Jah.  No Keezy.  Respectfully.  But the best thing about them is their use in the proper settings to which they all have specific functions.  None of them specialize in the forest.  Pretty much everything but; if Ima be real.  So, as they clunk around in their heavily armored, very advanced, mech weaponry they are having some issues even getting through Sherwood Forest.  Which is why they get spooked quick by the Elven magic of Elrond and Arwen and fall even quicker to their well placed sword blows from the stealthy, Elven foes whom they never even saw.

  

Kane of Runefast is engaged in a pitched battle of swordsmanship with Eomer, when the wielder of the Sword of Darkness gains the upper hand and dispatches the son of Eoman with a stunning attack.  Eomer is quickly avenged afterwards by his sister Eowyn who takes out Kane with a flurry of sword swings.  Although, Kane uses the Sword of Darkness and with his dying breath, has the sword cast Desoul on Eowyn, causing her to join him in death.

Cyclops blasts a hole through the second Blue Wizard; but the first Blue Wizard casts an attack spell that shatters Cyclops' goggles causing his power to go out of control.  The remaining Blue Wizard then dodges the aimless attacks and kills Cyclops with his sword.  Gandalf then engages the Blue Wizard with magic aided staff and the might of Glamdring and defeats him, sending his fellow wizard to the graveyard.  

Zufa Cenva, in her element in the deep forested woods, surprise attacks Dr. Doom from behind a large tree and hits him with some serious sorcery, complete with some well-aimed kicks and such.  Uncle Iroh then fire bends through her shield of sorcery and burns her to crisp, whilst simultaneously using his power ring to boost the attack of Alucard.  Norma Cenva wasn't always a big fan of her mom Zufa; but it doesn't mean she likes seeing her burnt alive either.  With all of the blue lantern rings on The Striders Squad, Norma's green lantern ring is brimming with power which she uses to vaporize Iroh.  Alucard, now even stronger than normal rushes at Norma with such speed that he cannot even be seen by the untrained eye; but Norma simply folds the space around Alucard sending him away to who knows where.  

Ice Man is wondering the forest alone when he comes by Treebeard, who is deep in thought.  Ice Man helps make up the mind of the large Ent, as he pisses him off with a blast of frozen water, before getting stomped to death by Middle Earth's oldest inhabitant.  

Gandalf and Archangel regroup with each other in a lightly wooded area and decide to make a final push against the Striders.   The Striders have met back up with Treebeard, who is now ready to fight and surround him, waiting for the imminent attack.  Gandalf rushes in with a blinding white light accompanying him, distracting them from his teammate Archangel who swoops in from above.  Gandalf's magic blasts through the protective spell of Arwen as easily as it does her; while Archangel hits ground, metal wings first pinning Gimli to the forest floor.  Archangel, then pulls his wings from the dirt and bloodied Dwarf before spinning them violently and removing the head of Elrond before Norma Cenva moves with blinding speed towards the mutant, ripping him apart with her own mental energy and added green lantern power.  Gandalf sees this awesome display of power from the first Guild Navigator Norma and essentially drains himself of power like he has not done since he defeated the Balrog as Gandalf the Grey.  He wipes Norma from this plane of existence; but as he awakens from his brief power coma is witness to his own demise from the giant body of Treebeard, who once again rids the forest of the destructive White Wizard.
