Week 3: TEAM vs Scar Jo's Leather Trash Pandas

TEAM: God Emperor Leto, Hasimir Fenring, Titan Cymek #1-2, Istian Goss, Moritani Soldier #1-15, Abulurd Harkonen, Yakub, Tom Bombadill, Beta Ray Bill, DC Thor, Tripticon, Chris Artrip w/ Inquisitor Lightsaber, Julie Artrip, Ella Artrip w/ Courtney Love’s Gun, Jack Artrip w/ Tanooki Suit, Ben Artrip w/ Ninja Star, Loki, Set, Chattari #3-6


Leather Animals: Thor, Adam Warlock, Paul Maud Dib, General Grievous, Zaheer, Ghazan, P’Li, Ming-Hua, Vision, Lucius Malfoy, Alia Atreides, Count Glossu Rabban, Duke Leto Atreides, Scytale, Avatar Roku, Tlaloc, Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother #1-10, Hrethgir #1



Duke Paul Muad’Dib Atreides, leader of this rebel squadron, stands at the forefront of battle at the command of Scar Jo’s word. “Wait… one second… pssssst, Lucius do the thing” Paul whispers. “Oh right, my duke…” Lucius turns his body, “AVADA KEDAVRA!” And just like that, the guy who emma describes as “slimy” has killed his own teammate, Duke Leto Atreides, so that Paul could have the rightful heir to the throne without contest. Naturally, Paul, who ordered the assassination, then slides his crysknife into Malfoy’s chest as payment for “justice”. It’s all very weird politics, but now the only person left to overthrow is Paul’s own son, God Emperor Leto… at least this one’s on the other team.


Considering Wallach IX is simply desert and remains of a long forgotten civilization, the other team, TEAM, saw all this unfold. The art of sneaking is simply not an option in this desolate setting. Therefore, an all out brawl occurs before our eyes. I could swear this fight was written and directed by Amazon based on how absolutely gorey it is. It’s chaotic, there’s limbs flying about, blood splattering everywhere, indistinguishable screams… chaos.



Some time later… after some well thought out canceling out of characters on each team…



The fighting has settled down, the sun begins to set. Some characters were worn down by the battle and died due to the climate rather at the hands of another character. Tripticon fell into this category because the metal machine simply got too bogged up by sand… L bozo transformer. All that is heard now are the deep breathing of the few remaining characters on each team…


God Emperor Leto leads Tom Bombadill, Beta Ray Bill, DC Thor, Chris Artrip, Julie Artrip, Loki, and Set.


Kwisatz Haderach leads Thor, Adam Warlock, Vision, Alia Atreides, Avatar Roku, and Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother #1-10.


The first to rest up and get back to their feet is Julie Artrip who begins frantically looking for her children. Too soon she finds their bodies, lifeless, “CHRIS!! HOW DARE YOU?!?! HOW COULD YOU NOT PROTECT OUR CHILDREN?!?! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!” Naturally, Chris is the one to blame for such a thing, and somehow with her itty bitty short body she is able to chokehold Chris into the air and snap the life from his neck. Then she goes into the ultimate fury and starts resisting the Reverend Mother’s voice and mows down half of them before Vision sends a beam through her heart. 


This starts a chain of events where Set snaps at vision. 


Thor Thunderbolts Set. 


DC Thor retaliates at Thor meaning Thor had killed Thor which in other words Thor died at the hands of Thor because Thor did the thing that killed Thor and now Thor is dead but also Thor is alive. 


But now Thor is also dead because Adam Warlock shoots through him which now it can be said that Thor is dead and Thor is dead and now no Thor is alive. 


Beta Ray Bill responds against the golden boy.


And then Roku ends Beta Ray Bill.


Tom Bombadill goes to stop Roku, but the being who is “master of wood, water, and hill” hath no more power here, for all that remains is the remains of this world. Instead, he walks away from the battle, disgusted with the state of this world.


Scar Jo’s peeps now need to overcome their biggest obstacle… the God Emperor. Before they could mount a proper attack, Leto’s tail whips around and strikes his father first. The Duke is truly dead. The remaining Reverend Mothers shout commands in the voice but they fall on deaf ears for they hold no power over the prescient being that is Leto who followed the Golden Path. The worm-like creature writhes around and tramples the common Bene Gesserit, as well as Avatar Roku. 


Although, Alia expected all of this to occur. She had prepped by covering herself in blood and hid amongst the fallen bodies so that Leto may look past her. And gosh darnit it worked because she just leaped out of nowhere and pushed a crysknife through the face of her own nephew…


Confusion sets in as for some reason the body is changing shape… oh my god it was Loki the whole time shapeshifted to appear as the God Emperor. The true Leto Atreides would never have fallen for suck trickery and comes forth to put Alia down. This was not the first rebel group that Leto has snuffed out, nor will it be the last.


One positive from this battle is that Tom Bombadill, with full control over his domains, has now started to repair the desolate world denoted as Wallach IX. Perhaps one day it will bloom into a new earth-like planet. Tom looks around to say, “I will call you… Middle Earth…”


Week 3: Grayson's Goobers vs Washington Redskins

 Grayson's Goobers Are:

Aragorn, Sheanna Brugh, Lady Jessica, Agamemnon and Juno, Shadow the Hedgehog (w/ The Chaos Emeralds), Espio the Chameleon, Legends Luke Skywalker (w/ a blue lantern ring), R2-D2, Black Knight, Alan Scott, Red Hulk, Sub-Zero, Crown Prince Raphael Corrino, The Padashah Emperor Shadam IV, Sgt. Slaughter w/ (Mercer, Taurus, and Red Dog), Hyperion, Samurai #8, Eternian Soldier #8-9, Badger Mole #1-5, Omnius Robot #1-15, Sandworm #1-10, Fedaykin #1-5


Washington Redskins are:

Sinestro (w/ The White Lantern Ring), Aayla Secura, She-Ra w/ Swiftwind, Skywarp, Kup, Yaddle (w/ Dwarf Ring #7), Even Piel, Dobby, Bat-Mite (w/ Dwarf Ring #6), Theoden King, Krillin (w/ Dwarf Ring #5), Teddy Roosevelt (in a Hammer Bros. Suit), Thundarr the Barbarian (w/ Princess Ariel, and Ookla the Mok), The Silverhawks: (Colonel Bluegrass w/ Sideman, Quicksilver w/ Talleyhawk, Steelheart w/ Stronghold, Steelwill w/ Rayzor, and The Copper Kid w/ Mayday), Darth Plaguis, Keiran Atreides, Walter Day, 



Padishah Emperor Shaddam and Lady Jessica stand in relative safety from atop a rocky clifftop over looking the battle. They mutter quietly to each other about plans as they look at the carnage below that has already taken place. Down below, their ten sandworms have been wreaking havoc upon the Redskins. Five were being ridden by Fedaykins #1-5 and have since fallen in battle. Aayla and Even Piel were able to take out one. The Silverhawks put in work to take out two with the help of She-Ra upon Swiftwind and Sinestro used his white lantern powers to control one of the sandworms into killing the other. Taking out as many sandworms as possible was a key strategy for the Redskins and they are thankful that their casualties, while significant, were not as great as they had feared. 


Still, five sandworms remain. Sheanna Brugh is trying her hardest to help guide and control the these but it is proving difficult even given her unique and gifted powers. While this chaos is going on, one character who enjoys chaos is gathering up all the rings he can. Shadow is rolling in circles and has managed to take out Bat-Mite and Yaddle and is chasing Krilin to complete his dwarf ring collection. Teddy Roosevelt is throwing hammers while Thundarr and his crew try to catch the speedy hedgehog. 


Dobby cowers in fear at the feet of Walter Day who stands in the center of the field of battle in his patented referee uniform quietly enjoying a bowl of soup. The duo has gone largely unnoticed by either team. 


All ground battles continue with some difficulty as many are being tripped up by the five blind moles that are scurrying underground causing our warriors to stumble and fall. Thrilling battles are taking place as Aragorn and Theoden King clash swords but are hesitant as neither wants to kill a friend. Sub Zero manages to freeze She Ra as she rides in the sky on her horse. She falls and shatters into a million pieces on the hard scorched soil. (hasta la vista, baby) Darth Plaguis and Keiran Atreides put in work taking out the GI Joe crew and go to work on the Eternian Soldiers. Atreides, seeing the back of the Crown Prince Corrino to him, uses this opportunity to attack and kill the young noble which gives the Goobers the window to finally finish off Plaguis. 


Teddy has managed to summon Swiftwind and mounts the steed. With his newly acquired gift of flight, he rides up the rocky outcropping to where the leaders of the Goobers stand. Jessica senses the attack and pretends to tie her shoe when Teddy emerges throwing a hammer to the skull of the Emperor. Jessica manages to get her crysknife into Swiftwind as it flies by and Teddy falls from his horse. The two wrestle briefly until Teddy hurls them both off the side of the cliff to their death. 


Skywarp and Kup take significant damage defeating Red Hulk and decide to charge at the two of the remaining Sandworms in sacrifice. Skywarp manages to jump into the gaping maw of one and explode, killing them both but before Kup can finish his off, Black knight uses his ebony blade to slice the legs off the autobot. Black Knight stands over him to finish the job and as he puts the blade to Kup’s neck, Kup manages uses his last bit of fuel to crush the marvel superhero into goo. Kup lets out his last breath of exhaust as the sand drinks up his oil. 


Now in the final minutes, Sinestro has taken out two more sandworms and now Sheanna can willfully control the last one without distraction. Sinestro opts to focus his efforts on regrouping with the remaining Redskins to try for a final attack. 


Theoden King, who finally decided to finish off his Dunedain Ranger buddy, has just finished stabbing the last Bader Mole. They were a little tricky but easy to see. Looking around to see who’s left he sees that only Himself, Keiran Atredies, Aayla Secura, Thundarr, Quicksilver and The Copper kid are all that is left to fall back with Sinestro.


They make a final charge at the Goobers. Who have Luke, R2D2, Hyperion and Alan Scott (as well as the Sandworm causing all the ruckus. Aayla clashes sabers with Luke and loses. Quicksilver is quickly dodging punches from Hyperion while the Copper Kid manages to use his technical skills to reprogram R2D2 into a bomb and programs him to return to luke. It’s his last act alive as Alan Scott busts his head open. Sinestro Returns the favor on Scott. Luke senses the disturbance in R2 and force pushes him out of the way. As R2 explodes, shrapnel takes out Theoden and causes the Hyperon and Quicksliver battle to briefly stop. Thundarr charges at Hyperon with his magical sword but instead gets a death blow to the head. Quicksliver and Atredies try to combine forces but are not able to get past Luke. Sinestro and Luke stare each other down. Sinestro tries to control the mind of the Jedi Master but the force is too strong. 


The screams of Dobby as the last sandworm devours him and Day flow unobstructed across the desert floor. In a split second of distraction, Sinestro looks back as his last teammates are being swallowed and feels the green lightsaber blade run through his torso.

Darkseid's Horsemen of Apocalypse Vs. The Sigmas

 Darkseid's Horsemen of Apokolips are Darkseid, Megatron, Decepticon #5, Apocalypse, Ultron (w/ The Infinity Gauntlet, Power Stone, & Time Stone), He-Man, Battle Cat, Amazo, Gannondorf, Dante, Alexander, Dinobot, Ancient Ginaz Swordmaster #10, and Neo-Cymek #10


The Sigmas are Duncan Idaho (w/ green lightsaber), Fremen #1-15, Sardakur #1-20, Gurney Halleck, Chani, Moneo Atreides, Bene Gesserit #1-10, Rhombur Vernius, Mad Cour, Zan Nooret, Nar Trig, Ecazi Soldier #1-15, Starscream, Ttanus, Melkor, Mr. Sinister, Super Giant, Aatrox, Vampire Sardakur, & Zombie Sardakur.



The Sun beats down hard on the ground of this place.  It feels somewhat like the Arrakis I have visited so many times in my long history as a Watcher for this league.  It is like a Arrakis; but not quite.  The air does not quite hurt the lungs as bad, the sand not as terribly dry.  One who has been on the true Dune knows the difference.  The sand is dry; but bare hands can still tell that it once contained moisture, or perhaps even just a memory of moisture is what is felt by these fingers as it runs through them.  Just a memory of rain that once fell here less than a few lifetimes ago.  Or is it just a memory, an acceptance of the knowledge that this place is a mere copy of the true home of Shai Halud??  

Only a sandstorm separates the two squads that have come here this day to do battle on this dune and give water to it.  As of now they are not yet fighting one another, just fighting their environment, fighting to find the fight, and fighting against the fear that their footsteps could bring forth a Maker, perhaps not a Maker the likes and size of which some here have seen to end them; but a Maker nonetheless that could still easily swallow the entire squad whole before they even have an opportunity to combat their enemy.

     A small break in the storm reveals figures in the distance making it just clear enough for both teams to realize that their enemies are not nearly as far away as they had thought.  They huddle together closely with their allies, knowing that battle is upon them.  

The teams converge around one another and several skirmishes instantly come to light.  The Vampire Sardakur isn't doing too good in this hot sun and the Zombie Sardakur is also not fairing too well with one of the metal tentacles of Neo-Cymek #10 through his head.  The Neo-Cymek, then joins with his even larger Titan Cymek brethren Dante and Alexander, along with Dinobot who have placed themselves in a defensive circle under orders from Megatron himself.  The four massive Horsemen (pun intended) eagerly await their challengers as they become surrounded by much smaller foes.  The battle begins as The Fremen, led by Chani and The Bene Gesserit, with whom she has a special relationship as well hang back a bit, intending full well to use their combined knowledge to make for an ultimate home field advantage scenario for The Sigmas.  Rhombur Vernius is moving slowly through the Dunes in his half metal, composite body but still takes on a leadership role in the charge against these abhorrent looking thinking machines.  He leads his family's lifelong allies The Ecazis, a man well-versed in the destruction of large robots Swordmaster Nar Trig, Super Giant, and of course the massive metal behemoth of their own Ttanus against the Titans and their allies.  This epic battle commences as something we are going to return to soon.

On the other side of the battlefield, The Horseman Megatron receives a secret communique from Sigmas member Starscream across a secret line wired directly into their sparks known only to high ranking Decepticons.  Starscream, who is secretly pledging his loyalty to The Decepticon cause is asking for a secret rendezvous with his former Commander.  Nearby, Darkseid and Melkor have found each other near a large rock outcropping.  As if their souls or whatever evil is in place of their souls has drawn them together.  They engage in a long staredown as they quietly move towards each other, both knowing that an epic battle of evil vs. evil is about to begin.  And, Hey........  Don't worry guys, we are going to come back to this and I'm not gonna do that thing I do sometimes where the two most powerful dudes from each squad get locked in a battle with each other and then join each other in death at the end.  I know that I have written a lot of matches for this league and that I have done that too many times.

Mord Cour stands at the ready, with his Harkonen blade drawn; but is caught by a powerful Power Stone laden blast from Ultron before he can properly put his talents to use.  

He-Man and Battle Cat find themselves surrounded by Sardakur.  The emperor's elite terror troops move in very slowly against The Eternian Prince.........

Apocalypse and Mr. Sinister get into a one on one skirmish to decide who the second best X-Men Villain truly is (don't worry, Magneto isn't here).  A pitched battle begins where it is decided early that telepathy isn't going to give either combatant an upper hand.  The resort to brute force which is something they both excel at as well.  Sinister holds his own for quite some time; but once Apocalypse grows to twice the size of his fellow mutant opponent he is able to come down on the neck of Sinister with a massive elbow to snap it in two.  

Ancient Ginaz Swordmaster #10 feels honored to do battle with the famous Ancient Ginaz Swordmaster Zan Noret.  It is a decent battle; but Zan proves himself to be one of the finest ever and defeats him.  Noret asks the swordsmen his name before he dies and then assures Gary that he will be remembered.  

Amazo stands confident even though he senses that he is surrounded by several human opponents.  They move stealthily around him as he attempts to gain a count of who and how many combatants are present.  Duncan Idaho along with his old friend Gurney and his future frenemy Moneo move swiftly and stealthily around Amazo tricking his sensors into thinking that there are more fighters than just three.  With no true powers to steal, only skill, speed, and their wits about them the three loyal members of House Atreides are able to dispatch The FFL Rookie.  

On a distant plain of Wallach IX, Starscream finally has his rendezvous with his Decepticon Leader Megatron and his lackey Decepticon #5.  Megatron speaks to his second in command saying:  "I am glad to see that you have come to your senses and that you wish to rejoin The Decepticon cause and pledge allegiance to The Horsemen.  We shall take you before Darkseid right away to get your orders.  "Of course Mighty Megatron, you know my programming could never betray what is best for the cause  of The Decepticons.  Lead the way".  Megatron, knowing that Starscream is speaking the truth in regards to Decepticon programming believes his Captain and starts flying towards the battle with Starscream behind him.  Starscream then transforms into his F-15 jet form and unleashes everything he has in his arsenal, perfectly aimed at Megatron.  Starscream, who has studied his leader for centuries, knows exactly where his weak spots are and takes down Megatron.  Megatron falls back to the ground screaming about Starscream's programming and that an absolute betrayal is impossible; but in the robot mind of Starscream, the best thing for the Decepticons is a deceased Megatron with Starscream himself at the helm of leadership.  Starscream finishes off Megatron as he lie on the ground with a double arm cannon laser blast to the face.  Decepticon #5 transforms into his attack helicopter mode to attack Starscream; but the former Cybertronian scientist quickly and easily dispatches the chopper.  

We now move to Gannondorf who approaches Aatrox just outside the rock outcropping where Darkseid and Melkor are still doing battle.  Now......  I realize that these are the two team owners very favorite O.P. baddies and that I could never possibly do a good enough job describing how epic the battle would be between the bane of Runeterra and the bane of Hyrule.  But please trust me when I tell you that it was basically the most epic video game cut scene fight that anyone has ever seen.  It was the ultimate video game commercial/trailer that made anyone and everyone who saw it just wish that somehow, someway the gameplay could actually be just like that visual.  In its conclusion, the former champion of Shurima lay dead next to the once King of Gerudo.  Their bodies only several yards away from the battered corpses of Darkseid and Melkor.  

Of Darkseid and Melkor...........

<<<The Neon Master Pogo Enters the chat>>>

POGO:

Whoa, whoa, whoa......  Hey Joshatu the Long-Winded.  You specifically said you weren't going to do that this match.  That is just lazy writing; and now you are going to do it twice?!!?  You need to re-write that.

JOSHATU:

Damn IT Pogo!!  Who let you in here?!!?  Go back to your room.  The Survivor Series is over, you are done until next season.  You're off the roster.

POGO:

What??  You get lazy at Watching and I get the boot??  That's not even the least bit..........

<<<The Neon Master Pogo has been removed from the chat>>>.

 He-Man, despite being physically stronger than his opponents by quite a bit finds himself knocked off of Battle Cat, who is quickly gutted by the fierce group of Sardakur that surround him.  The Terror Troops converge on He-Man who is quickly put on the defensive.  In the recorded history of Princess Irulan, only one man ever was able to defeat 19 Sardakur at once.  That man was Duncan Idaho in defense of the lover and son of his Duke.  He gave his life in sacrifice for them by achieving this amazing feat.  It was 20 Sardakur sent here to defeat He-Man this day, but despite suffering cuts, bruises, and some other minor injuries The Masters of the Universe hero was able to stand victorious against them all.  Although technically, Battle Cat took out two of them with his razor sharp teeth while he was being killed, bringing He-Man's Sardakur kill total up to 18 today (we can't have him beating Duncan's record now can we).  

As the massive MCU-Esque battle rages on with all the giant robots, Chani, Fremen #1, and Bene Gesserit #1, whom have sent the other Fremen and Bene Gesserits into battle are having a sidebar in hopes to try and formulate a plan of attack against the metal monstrosities.  Chani speaks up saying:  "We have some great fighters here; but I sure wish we had a guy on this roster that grew up on a sand planet, hated sand, and could use his hate to make him powerful".  B.G. #1 nods her head and replies:  "I agree completely, it would really be nice if we could send someone in right now who would kill them all.  And not just the men, but the women, and the children".  "He could really HATE THEM" adds Fremen #1.  

The battle begins to change and tighten up; when Ttanus unleashes a fiery blast from his mouth towards Neo-Cymek #10 which melts his hull, killing the human brain inside.  The two Titans see this fearing that this could be their fate as well.  Dante and Alexander then combine all their firepower on the neck of Ttanus to take out the ancient Zord.  With The Sigmas big man out of the way, the smaller combatants move in close to swarm the Predacon and the two remaining Cymeks.  Dinobot uses his metal chompers to take a chunk out of the strangely named super-villain Super Giant and then goes to work on The Ecazi Soldiers.  The Fremen and The BGs (not the brothers Gibb, but the robed chicks) all converge on Alexander along with Nar Trig and Zan Noret who has just arrived to help out.  With fierce fighting and heavy losses, The Sigmas are able to break the brain canister of Alexander and kill the mighty Titan.  Nar and Zan both robot killing experts leap off the top of the now dead Alexander and move towards Dinobot who they double team and dispatch with perfectly placed vibro-blades into the spark of The Predacon.  The two swordmasters of Ginaz then finally meet their glorious end in battle when they are hit by a large, exploding projectile from Dante.  Rhombur is defeated by Dante as well when a razor sharp blade from the side of the Cymek slices him in two.  Chani, now the only remaining member of The Sigmas from The Four Horsemen skirmish begins to fall back into the Dunes from Dante as she notices Duncan, Gurney, and her descendant Moneo approaching.  Knowing that The Sigmas will have to regroup if they are going to take the day.

Apocalypse and He-Man join the scene of the battle to find only Dante left of their giant robot defense team.  While this is going on Ultron and Starscream are locked in a pitched dog fight in the sky above.  Duncan, Gurney, Moneo, and Chani decide that their is no time like the present to rush in and see what they can do hand to hand in a final skirmish against The Horsemen.  Starscream from the skies sees what his teammates are running into and decides to be a bro.  He flanks right, doubles back and fires all of his Cybertronian missiles into Dante, making contact with his brain canister and taking the Titan Cymek out of the equation.  Although this leaves Starscream open for attack as he is blasted to pieces by Ultron and the Gauntlet.  Ultron flies back down to the scene, landing in front of both Apocalyose and He-Man as if to protect the two muscle bound Horsemen from the four much smaller humans (more likely to take the glory for himself).  Chani and the boys move at break neck speed towards Ultron, surrounding him and working as an unmatched fighting unit.  Ultron moves towards the fastest of the four Moneo first and is able to catch him by the throat, squeezing until the neck cracks.  Ultron then delivers a metal foot to the face of Chani, while Gurney blasts out the knee of the robot with his Maula pistol allowing Duncan to remove the head of Ultron with his green lightsaber.  

The exhausted Duncan and Gurney still stand tall as the two remaining Sigmas ready to do battle against the two remaining Horsemen.  The Atreides loyalists fight bravely; but are simply mismatched, especially in their current state.  With relative ease, Apocalypse takes out Duncan and He-Man finishes Gurney.Darkseid's Horsemen of Apokolips are Darkseid, Megatron, Decepticon #5, Apocalypse, Ultron (w/ The Infinity Gauntlet, Power Stone, & Time Stone), He-Man, Battle Cat, Amazo, Gannondorf, Dante, Alexander, Dinobot, Ancient Ginaz Swordmaster #10, and Neo-Cymek #10

The Sigmas are Duncan Idaho (w/ green lightsaber), Fremen #1-15, Sardakur #1-20, Gurney Halleck, Chani, Moneo Atreides, Bene Gesserit #1-10, Rhombur Vernius, Mad Cour, Zan Nooret, Nar Trig, Ecazi Soldier #1-15, Starscream, Ttanus, Melkor, Mr. Sinister, Super Giant, Aatrox, Vampire Sardakur, & Zombie Sardakur.

Amazo stands confident even though he senses that he is surrounded by several human opponents.  They move stealthily around him as he attempts to gain a count of who and how many combatants are present.  Duncan Idaho along with his old friend Gurney and his future frenemy Moneo move swiftly and stealthily around Amazo tricking his sensors into thinking that there are more fighters than just three.  With no true powers to steal, only skill, speed, and their wits about them the three loyal members of House Atreides are able to dispatch The FFL Rookie.  

On a distant plain of Wallach IX, Starscream finally has his rendezvous with his Decepticon Leader Megatron and his lackey Decepticon #5.  Megatron speaks to his second in command saying:  "I am glad to see that you have come to your senses and that you wish to rejoin The Decepticon cause and pledge allegiance to The Horsemen.  We shall take you before Darkseid right away to get your orders.  "Of course Mighty Megatron, you know my programming could never betray what is best for the cause  of The Decepticons.  Lead the way".  Megatron, knowing that Starscream is speaking the truth in regards to Decepticon programming believes his Captain and starts flying towards the battle with Starscream behind him.  Starscream then transforms into his F-15 jet form and unleashes everything he has in his arsenal, perfectly aimed at Megatron.  Starscream, who has studied his leader for centuries, knows exactly where his weak spots are and takes down Megatron.  Megatron falls back to the ground screaming about Starscream's programming and that an absolute betrayal is impossible; but in the robot mind of Starscream, the best thing for the Decepticons is a deceased Megatron with Starscream himself at the helm of leadership.  Starscream finishes off Megatron as he lie on the ground with a double arm cannon laser blast to the face.  Decepticon #5 transforms into his attack helicopter mode to attack Starscream; but the former Cybertronian scientist quickly and easily dispatches the chopper.  

We now move to Gannondorf who approaches Aatrox just outside the rock outcropping where Darkseid and Melkor are still doing battle.  Now......  I realize that these are the two team owners very favorite O.P. baddies and that I could never possibly do a good enough job describing how epic the battle would be between the bane of Runeterra and the bane of Hyrule.  But please trust me when I tell you that it was basically the most epic video game cut scene fight that anyone has ever seen.  It was the ultimate video game commercial/trailer that made anyone and everyone who saw it just wish that somehow, someway the gameplay could actually be just like that visual.  In its conclusion, the former champion of Shurima lay dead next to the once King of Gerudo.  Their bodies only several yards away from the battered corpses of Darkseid and Melkor.  

Of Darkseid and Melkor...........

POGO:

Whoa, whoa, whoa......  Hey Joshatu the Long-Winded.  You specifically said you weren't going to do that this match.  That is just lazy writing; and now you are going to do it twice?!!?  You need to re-write that.

JOSHATU:

Damn IT Pogo!!  Who let you in here?!!?  Go back to your room.  The Survivor Series is over, you are done until next season.  You're off the roster.

POGO:

What??  You get lazy at Watching and I get the boot??  That's not even the least bit..........

 He-Man, despite being physically stronger than his opponents by quite a bit finds himself knocked off of Battle Cat, who is quickly gutted by the fierce group of Sardakur that surround him.  The Terror Troops converge on He-Man who is quickly put on the defensive.  In the recorded history of Princess Irulan, only one man ever was able to defeat 19 Sardakur at once.  That man was Duncan Idaho in defense of the lover and son of his Duke.  He gave his life in sacrifice for them by achieving this amazing feat.  It was 20 Sardakur sent here to defeat He-Man this day, but despite suffering cuts, bruises, and some other minor injuries The Masters of the Universe hero was able to stand victorious against them all.  Although technically, Battle Cat took out two of them with his razor sharp teeth while he was being killed, bringing He-Man's Sardakur kill total up to 18 today (we can't have him beating Duncan's record now can we).  

As the massive MCU-Esque battle rages on with all the giant robots, Chani, Fremen #1, and Bene Gesserit #1, whom have sent the other Fremen and Bene Gesserits into battle are having a sidebar in hopes to try and formulate a plan of attack against the metal monstrosities.  Chani speaks up saying:  "We have some great fighters here; but I sure wish we had a guy on this roster that grew up on a sand planet, hated sand, and could use his hate to make him powerful".  B.G. #1 nods her head and replies:  "I agree completely, it would really be nice if we could send someone in right now who would kill them all.  And not just the men, but the women, and the children".  "He could really HATE THEM" adds Fremen #1.  

The battle begins to change and tighten up; when Ttanus unleashes a fiery blast from his mouth towards Neo-Cymek #10 which melts his hull, killing the human brain inside.  The two Titans see this fearing that this could be their fate as well.  Dante and Alexander then combine all their firepower on the neck of Ttanus to take out the ancient Zord.  With The Sigmas big man out of the way, the smaller combatants move in close to swarm the Predacon and the two remaining Cymeks.  Dinobot uses his metal chompers to take a chunk out of the strangely named super-villain Super Giant and then goes to work on The Ecazi Soldiers.  The Fremen and The BGs (not the brothers Gibb, but the robed chicks) all converge on Alexander along with Nar Trig and Zan Noret who has just arrived to help out.  With fierce fighting and heavy losses, The Sigmas are able to break the brain canister of Alexander and kill the mighty Titan.  Nar and Zan both robot killing experts leap off the top of the now dead Alexander and move towards Dinobot who they double team and dispatch with perfectly placed vibro-blades into the spark of The Predacon.  The two swordmasters of Ginaz then finally meet their glorious end in battle when they are hit by a large, exploding projectile from Dante.  Rhombur is defeated by Dante as well when a razor sharp blade from the side of the Cymek slices him in two.  Chani, now the only remaining member of The Sigmas from The Four Horsemen skirmish begins to fall back into the Dunes from Dante as she notices Duncan, Gurney, and her descendant Moneo approaching.  Knowing that The Sigmas will have to regroup if they are going to take the day.

Apocalypse and He-Man join the scene of the battle to find only Dante left of their giant robot defense team.  While this is going on Ultron and Starscream are locked in a pitched dog fight in the sky above.  Duncan, Gurney, Moneo, and Chani decide that their is no time like the present to rush in and see what they can do hand to hand in a final skirmish against The Horsemen.  Starscream from the skies sees what his teammates are running into and decides to be a bro.  He flanks right, doubles back and fires all of his Cybertronian missiles into Dante, making contact with his brain canister and taking the Titan Cymek out of the equation.  Although this leaves Starscream open for attack as he is blasted to pieces by Ultron and the Gauntlet.  Ultron flies back down to the scene, landing in front of both Apocalyose and He-Man as if to protect the two muscle bound Horsemen from the four much smaller humans (more likely to take the glory for himself).  Chani and the boys move at break neck speed towards Ultron, surrounding him and working as an unmatched fighting unit.  Ultron moves towards the fastest of the four Moneo first and is able to catch him by the throat, squeezing until the neck cracks.  Ultron then delivers a metal foot to the face of Chani, while Gurney blasts out the knee of the robot with his Maula pistol allowing Duncan to remove the head of Ultron with his green lightsaber.  

The exhausted Duncan and Gurney still stand tall as the two remaining Sigmas ready to do battle against the two remaining Horsemen.  The Atreides loyalists fight bravely; but are simply mismatched, especially in their current state.  With relative ease, Apocalypse takes out Duncan and He-Man finishes Gurney.
