Week Nine: CisHets vs. Sigmaz

The Heterosexual Gentlemen are: General Kenobi and The "Burger King" King w/ wakizashi, and four LOTR Orcs.

Sigmaz are Kratos and five goblins, one of whom has an AK-47 and severe mental illness.


A deadly logistical dilemma was occuring in Yoda's hut. By the Will of the Watchers, the 12 combatants were jammed asses to elbows in the confined space, strictly forbidden from going outside. To ensure this, the hut was encased in Flex Tape. General Kenobi was packed alongside fellow sardine The King, Monarch of all Burgerkind, brandishing a wicked sick wakizashi. Their entourage consisted of four Orcs seemingly tangled around them from all sides at once. Across the hut, Kratos, the God of War, was similarly swimming in goblins. At the center of it all was one very irritated goblin with an AR-15.

The hut cracked and groaned as the pressure inside became too much even for the power of Flex Tape. Kenobi calls to Kratos, "You can give up now, Kratos! Quit the league, dissolve your team, it's the only way we can survive this predicament!" Kratos grunted and replied "The only way you will survive, perhaps. You don't even have a proper God behind your cult. Just this... Jester?" They look toward The King. He didn't look back. He didn't squirm, he didn't groan as his ribs were tested by the cramped space. He only stared ahead, smiling. Disturbed and outraged, Kratos began flexing his muscles violently as he could in an attempt to throw a punch. The effort sent waves of force through the cuddle puddle. An orc's head burst, another's chest was caved in by a neighboring kneebone. The walls gave a final agonal creak before bursting into shrapnel and dust. As the wreckage settled, the combatants look around to find... ANOTHER Yoda Hut, but slightly larger!

As our two teams stopped to ponder what had appeared before them, a furious shriek emanated from the back of the crowd. 

From the ranks of the goblins, the one brandishing the AR-15 unleashed a storm of bullets into the cramped space. Panic ensued as bodies scattered, desperately seeking cover from the onslaught. General Kenobi acted deftly to end the Goblin's mass shooting, though by the time it was safe to intervene all the Orcs were already dead.

Yet, victory for Kenobi was short-lived. Kratos seized the moment as Kenobi crossed to his side of the now medium-sized hut. With a single mighty step to his left, he came within range to jam his Blades of Chaos through Kenobi's torso, tearing upward and leaving him in ribbons.

Kratos then turned his eye to The King, who had remained silent through the chaos of the firefight. He was sneaking in a cartoonist fashion toward the door. As Kratos started toward him, he dashed away instantly, leaving a puff of burning rubber and a King-shaped hole in the door. A Kratos-sized hole quickly followed as he burst through after the King out into an enormous replica of Yoda's Hut, larger than the last, maybe larger than any hut ever before it. The King was hastily dashing across the now vast room toward the door. Kratos dove across the room and seamlessly threw his axe as he rolled out of a somersault, striking the King in the back. He noticed, as he called the axe back, there is no blood. He moved to the body and turns it over to find that, rather than a man in a plastic mask, he had struck a plastic mannequin with a man's face. General Kenobi's face. His cool composure faltered briefly. He shouted to the room, as he tore through to find his mark, "Enough games! Face me!" He found no sign in any hiding place, no tracks. He stormed to the enormous door and began to throw his weight against it. After a few strikes it gave way, and he stumbled into a new environment. 

Floor tiles. Fluorescent tube lighting set to dim overnight. An empty stretch of off-highway road out plate windows on a cool May night. He had emerged from the ladies room of a Burger King Restaurant. Sooner than he could comprehend, the floor tiles split beneath him, and he was dropped into a pool of bubbling fryer oil. The tiles closed, and in seconds they opened again, but no oil was seen in the space beneath. Instead, a 7 foot cardboard fast foot box emerged slowly on a shining marble platform, labeled: "NEW 🔥 SPICY🔥KRATOS FRIES!". As the under-floor elevator came to a halt, the lid of the box popped open, and there emerged The King, his lifeless smile unwavering in a shower of golden fried demigod meat sticks.

Week 9 Consortium: NAZA vs TEAM

NAZA: Legends Luke Skywalker w/ Blue Lantern Ring and R2-D2

TEAM: The Mandalorian and Gorgu, Ethan Petz, Yellow Lantern Ring #1-2, and Cassette #1-5

Season 14 Week 9: Horsemen vs Madhouse

Darkseid’s Horsemen of Apokolips is: Legends Leia Organa Solo, C-3P0, Samwise Gamgee, Kenny McCormick, Autobot Cassette #3


Doctor’s Madhouse is: Darth Vader



Darth Vader approaches Yoda’s Hut on Dagobah, his cloak dragging gently across the damp ground, his steps silent. As he enters the clearing, his stance changes from menacing to annoyed and confused. 


Yoda is seen outside setting up folding chairs in his yard. Darth Vader approaches and asks what he is doing here as he is not on the roster for either team. 


“Mmm. A bonfire, I am having. In my yard it will be.” Yoda replies. 


Vader says, “When are you having people over to your house?”


“Standing in my house, you are not. In the yard, we are. No?... mmm”


“I guess you are right.” Vader says as both him and Yoda turn toward the camera, breaking the fourth wall in your mind’s eye. “The yard is NOT the house, now is it?”


Yoda then saunters off to find roots and berries for his party while Vader approaches the hut to begin this epic, highly anticipated final week battle. 



There is elevated noise coming from the hut. A light glows from inside and several shadows are seen moving around as Vader pokes his head in the door announcing his presence. “Can you guys move over?! There’s no room!” Vader exclaims. 


(***Watcher Sidebar***)

I think it is important at this point in the match to mention here that Vader did toss some stuff around and knocked over Yoda’s table but once he was inside sitting Indian style, his helmet did clear the roof. There was plenty of room for him. The reason it was cramped and the reason Vader was annoyed is because someone (and we won’t name names) was trying to get him expelled from participation this week. And that same person who saw an issue with a couple extra inches in Vader’s height, apparently did not see an issue with playing 5 characters. That’s offensive to tall people. But that will not affect this watcher’s ability to write an unbiased match. I can easily rise above such hate.  OK Back to the action



Vader surveys his opponents. Samwise is manning the pot on the fire, boiling up some potatoes. Kenny is up in a hammock while Leia is trying to get C-3P0 to shut up as usual. The Autobot Cassette has transformed into a tiny robot and is walking around. 


“So, should I just kill you all and get this over with?” Vader says.


“Why so much hate, Mr Skywalker? We haven’t even had supper.” Says Sam.


Vader picks up the Cassette and crushes it easily in his hand, discarding the fragments into Sam’s stew. He then picks up the pot and throws the boiling water on Kenny before beating Sam to death with the pot. Vader ignites his lightsaber and puts Kenny out of his misery. (you bastard) He then force pushes Threepio into the corner with extreme force crushing every internal circuit and battery. The force causes an old crate to fall off a shelf and Yoda’s old lightsaber to roll across the floor. 


Leia picks up the saber and while a small fit in her hand she is able to ignite it and make a shuffle across the floor to try her best at committing patricide. But c’mon guys. It’s Vader… against a woman. After just a few volleys with the saber he cuts off her hand and then force pushes her out the window. He can hear her body fall amidst the chairs outside on the lawn. 


Vader collects himself and heads outside. Leia is disoriented and trying to stand up. Vader picks up a folding chair and brings it down swiftly on her neck, breaking it instantly. He looks up to see an annoyed Yoda with a small basket of good food shaking his head. Yoda thought about inviting the former Jedi to stay and join the party later, but he felt that his presence would be an issue. Yoda sensed much beer in him. 


The Trash Pandas Vs. The Sigmas

 "UNLIMITED Scoliosis, Am-I-Rite ladies" Emperor Palpatine mutters to himself as he attempts to work the kinks out of his back after spending some time searching for Yoda in his secluded Hut.  Even Lord Vader could not be trusted in this special mission once Sheev Palpatine found out where his little green friend was hiding so he could try and finish the job he started in the Senate all those years ago and ambush the former Grand Jedi Master of the Republic.  But wouldn't ya know the little guy isn't even home.  Instead, some other curious folk are about, searching through the hut as well.  With the Dark Side extremely hard to use in this domain of good and with Bilbo and his old frenemy Gollum's halfling ability to resist the powers of the Dark Lord, Palpatine is having trouble figuring out what in the Gungan is going on here.  When the Emperor stumbles upon the quintet, Bilbo has already helped himself to some of Yoda's tea and Gollum is eating a raw frog that made its way in the window from the swamp.  "You WILL DIE" Palpatine says rudely as he crouches his way towards the Sigmas; but Bilbo hiding his fear takes a sip of his tea and offers to play a game of riddles with Palpatine instead.  Palpatine thinks that is a rather silly idea and targets Grandslam in his mini tank form first since he looked the most threathening,  The Sith lightning he used for the attack was not very potent due to the setting and Yoda's leftover musk or what have you.  But it was still strong enough to short out and destroy the spark of the Autobot Cassette.  Gollum rushed at Sheev, in a rather psychotic way; lunging for the gold lined lightsaber on the belt of the Sith Lord, questioning its existence as "the precious"; but Palpatine ignited the weapon and quickly showed that it was not a ring as he ran Gollum through.  Palpatine, taken off guard by the strange circumstances of this match begins to slowly move towards the other Sigmas in a half crawl, half crouch movement; but Steeljaw and Nightstalker, comfortable walking on all fours in their Lion and Panther modes target the Sith Lord with their small mounted rockets and blow him up.  A sigh comes over Bilbo as he takes another sip of tea and says:  "Oh, good.  I didn't have any riddles anyway".
