7:15 PM

Welcome to Redford, MI and the famous Sandy's by the Beech.  The year is 1999 and the world is still free (at least it feels like it (the illusion is still strong before the turn of the Millennium)).  It is the Monday night after hunting season, pitchers of Bud Light are like a nickel or something, every other shot is free, the smell of Marlboro is in the air, mixing with the smell of Sandy's Delight, backroom cigars are about to happen, and Kurt Houslander:  The King of Sandy's himself has assembled an elite group of De-Generates including Tom, his nephew Josh, the young bachelor Chris Artrip, Eddie Zacharski, and Larry Reamer.  One of the first meetings of the Ill Council will take place this night.  Sandy's is packed (why wouldn't it be??  It's a Monday night in the 90s).  Kurt and his crew are just some chill guys; so they sit in the back area leaving the front part of the bar for the Riff Raff.  The look of Sandy's is mostly unchanged as it will remain for decades to come; but they do instantly notice a new bright red juke box in the back corner that looks pretty sweet.  

7:45 PM

Some Gay, meat suit wearing neighbors show up early for dinner, which is good because there is about a half hour wait to get inside.  Uncle Traveling Matt had been to Sandy's before in his past travels and since he and his homies were in town he convinced them that they had to try it.  They all pile into the vestibule shoulder to shoulder to wait for tables or seats at the bar after Colleen tells them that she isn't pushing tables together for the whole squad and that they would just have to deal with it.  I mean:  Who do they think they are, Houslanders??  Junkeon #10 isn't allowed inside; No........  Not because they don't serve his kind here, he is just too big to get in the door.  He transforms into his motorcycle form and waits in the parking lot with the other cool looking cars and trucks (no SUVs, the world doesn't suck yet).  Santa's Little Helper is denied access as well by Dar who laughs at them when they try to pull some emotional support animal crap.  It's the 90s, nobody effing cares about your emotions or your support.  Santa's Little Helper makes his way 3/4 of a mile east of there into Detroit and joins a wild pack of dogs.  From there he is quickly killed by a street gang; probably the Square Boyz or The Latin Counts (unlike Zach, I have no problem killing off dogs in my matches, even in the intro).  Like I mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph, these are a happy group of fellows, just here for a good time (for you youngsters reading this, it was the last century, and gay still meant happy back then in the olden times).  Uncle Traveling Matt recognizes someone he knows at the very first table by the ATM (yes, they had ATMs in the 90s); and they save it for him as they are leaving.  He sits down front and center with Gobo, Mokey, Red, Wembley, Boober, and The Noid.  They are a fun group and fit right in with Sandy's eclectic crowd.  Refrigerator Perry and Mick Foley grab the first two seats at the bar.  Freddy Kruger snatches up a bar stool by the back door, along with Unalaq, Desna, & Eska.  The Watchmen walk in last and take the very back table in the front room.  Rorschach hasn't showered since Nineteen-80-EVER, but his rank smell seems to go unnoticed through the thick cloud of smoke.  This makes Silk Spectre and Ozymandias happy considering that they have to share a table with him and they are both hungry.  The Comedian has a fresh cigar going and is loving life as he lean back in his chair and admires all the Redford talent, with their famous busty figures on display (it's weird, but true.  Just something in the water in Redford (trust me, it's science)).  The five Dark Side Marauders are outside in the parking lot ripping death sticks, because they don't realize that Michigan hasn't become a Statist Hellhole quite yet and that they are allowed to smoke inside.  Storm Trooper #6 & 7 (6767676767 ha ha) look around for a seat but a couple of off duty Redford Cops see them and decide that they don't like some other pigs hanging out in their bar trying to steal their proverbial Kool Aid.  The cops take the Troopers out back for an old fashioned shooting contest.  The Storm Troopers miss.  RPD doesn't.  

8:15 PM

The Sigmas show up late and aren't in great moods.  Maybe you could say they are looking for a fight, maybe you could say they aren't.  You see, up to this point; no team in Fantasy Fantasy history has ever gone winless for an entire season and The Sigmas are not happy about potentially being the first.  They all filter into the bar with chips on their shoulders and try to find some seats wherever they can.  Nikki Royse has just celebrated her 21st birthday and instantly finds someone willing to give up their seat at the bar for her (like she always does).  She then convinces the guy sitting next to her to stand up, so her friend Linda from The Copper Door can sit  (Linda, I don't think should even be born yet to be honest, but we won't get into that time vortex now).  Nikki lights up a cowboy killer, and instructs the bar keep that she wants to order 2 Budweisers, two lemon drops, the Mexican Basket, A half pound burger extra rare, a chicken sandwich, and whatever Linda wants.  Fred Stathers wanders into the back and sees one of his favorite Youngens Larry and some other familiar faces.  He plops down and drinks every Miller Genuine Draft that Sandy had ordered for the month of November in exactly sixty minutes and zero seconds before he decides to go out on the prowl and chase some girls.  He leaves them with this bit of wisdom saying:  "The problem with going to Sandy's by the Beech, is that you can't leave the place without getting laid".  Dante and Randall are still chilling in the parking lot in the cherry 88' Dodge Daytona Pacifica with the T-Tops off.  The car, commonly referred to as The Millinnium Chowder was just gifted to them by Josh Houslander last week after they tied the knot dressed as Storm Troopers in a Star Wars themed Wedding at The Unitarian Church.  Rumor has it that Randall is the butch, and Dante is the b****.  At least that is what I heard.  Mystique is someone in this bar, I am just not sure who.  Vincent Vega is cool, but his rizz has nothing on the two brothas he is hanging out with, walking up and down the front center aisle.  The three dudes are showing some serious swagger as Vincent follows the lead of Marcellus Wallace and Martin Luther KIng Jr. In his designer suit.  Marty looks at Marcellus and says:  "Damn Mr. Wallace, Ima tell you what.  I'm gonna do you a solid and let you have the second finest Redford white chick in here after I take my pick of the litter.  There may even be some scraps left fror you Vince".  Marcellus Wallace brings Marty in for the half man hug as he is allowed his retort of:  "My N****".  Snout Spout, Whiplash, and Roboto are in the mood to throw down and they take a seat near the back next to The Watchmen and a big pickle tub full of foreshadowing.  At the table near the entrance to the backroom, sits Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Benito Mussolini, & Aristotle.  I was convinced that I was about to overhear some fantastic bit of philosophical conversation taking place here; but instead they are mostly just discussing how they can't believe how many coloreds have been allowed in this establishment (it's like five).  The Seven Bene Gesserits never made it inside, and instead got in a tussle with the Dark Side Marauders.  I never saw any of them again.  I don't know exactly how the fight went down because I am enjoyig my Schooner on Texas Toast with Bacon (and why do I have to keep reminding you that you don't have to go outside to smoke).  

9:45 PM

Dante and Randall are mostly arguing over who is going to go spit some game at that Nikki chick on their team.  Randall is pretty sure she wants him, especially since she say their sweet Daytona and said that whoever drives that car must be the coolest dude of all time.  Maybe some day she will find him.  But, The Clerks then realize that Junkeon #10 is more than just a motorcycle and challenge him to a race.  One might think that the space age Cybertronian technology built into the transformer would blow the doors off of this poor man's sports car from the 80s, but you obviously do not understand the turbo charged Mopar power of the 88' Daytona.  If you have any doubt of the intense speed that could be harassed by The Millinnium Chowder than you should probably listen to the song "Turbo Charged" by Nico Blue.  And then try not to kill yourself.  The race heads west on Five Mile towards Bates in Livonia, when Junkeon #10, already severely behind crashes into The Golden Lantern Restaraunt, changing the timeline making into become Sam's Place several years earlier.  Dante and Randall disappear into Livonia and are never heard from again.  It is rumored that they were surrounded by dozens of insanely hot chicks and smothered to death by them.  This was a common problem for dudes who drove the Millinnium Chowder.  

10:45 PM

Josh is too broke for anything other than beer, so Kurt gives him some money and says:  "Play something good on the Juke box Fag".  So Josh does as instructed.  Josh and Ed then walk over to the fancy new, shiny, red Jukebox; but just as their first Nine Inch Nails Song begins to play, they realize that it is not an ordinary Juke Box; but actually the Autobot Blaster, who then ejects Rewind, Eject, Grandslam & Raindance (who merge to form Slamdance), Nightstalker, Playback, Ramhorn, Steeljaw, Dile, Zaur, Graphy, Noise, Rosanna, Stripes, & Blackcat.

10:50 PM

All Hell has broken loose.

10:51 PM

Josh and Ed return to the table.  Chris and Tom are mildly annoyed by the ruckus.  Kurt and Larry order another round of Rattle Snakes.  

10:52  PM

Colleen quickly brings the shots, and empties the ash trays with the help of Dar and assures the guys that this round is "On Sandy".  She then calls us stupid for not ordering two more pitchers a minute ago.  She was right.  They were thirsty.

10:53 PM

Kurt and the crew quench their thirst and quit bing parched for the time being.

11:00  PM

The bar is being torn apart by the two rival gangs.  Must be The Square Boyz and The D-KingZ again is what most of the regular patrons think.  

11:30 PM

As Blaster's Cassettes rush into the front room to join the brawl already in progress, they see that The Comedian, Ozymandias, Rorschach, and NIte Owl have already been killed; but that didn't stop The Watchmen from taking some dudes down with them.  Silk Spectre wasn't in the fight for some reason.  She was last seen eyeing Fred Stathers' Ray Gun and I guess they left together.  Roboto, Snout Spout, and Whiplash went down as well.  Freddy Kruger is still standing for now; but his powers are diminished here.  Because Sandy's don't sleep MY DAWGS.  RECOGNIZE.  The Avatar dudes see their fellow Neighbors going down and start putting on a clinic all over Blaster's Cassettes.  Blaster himself has been destroyed by a well placed hammer blast from The Noid.  No more Nine Inch Nails.  The Fraggles are Butt Housed; but having the time of their life.  Can't say they are much help in the fight though.  They just start arguing with Thomas Jefferson's table about baseball even though nobody involved has ever watched a sport.  Mick Foley body slams his own teammate William "Refrigerator" Perry as a dare from Benito Mussolini who is slamming red wine like it is white wine; but as it turns out The Fridge was actually Mystique so it worked out.  The real Fridge got shivved by the duo of Wallace and King for eyeing their chick-a-dees.  The Sigmas then try to put together a last ditch effort to destroy their enemies and not go winless this season and do finally take out Unalaq, Desna, & Eska after almost every Cassette and the rest of the squad are taken out in a long drawn out bar fight for the ages.  

                

1:45 AM

Kurt and the boys decide it is time to leave because they are nice guys and they don't want to stay until the last minute.  They know Colleen and Dar want to close the place up and get home.  It's called being a gentleman D-Bags.  As Josh stumbles out first, Kurt and Larry catch him checking out this hot skinny blonde chick cashing out at the bar.  Larry calls him a fag and says:  "Aren't you engaged or something"??  Kurt then makes reference to "Josh's tongue" and "her bung".  Chris and Ed can barely walk but they are talking about Doom and Duke NuKem.  Tom is laughing at all of them.  Larry seems totally fine and asks the Fraggles on the way out if he can give them a ride home.  They need it.  

1:50 AM

Chris asks the crew:  "That was kind of a crazy night at Sandy's wasn't it"??  Kurt replies:  "Meh, not really.  See ya next Monday Fags".  Everyone nods in agreement.  

1:59 AM

The bar is almost empty and the place is being cleaned up, when a very sober smallish, chick Autobot walks up the bar after having taken part in the battle royal that just concluded.  "Did I miss last call??  How about a wine cooler"??  Colleen rolls her eyes as she looks back at the clock and says:  "Fine....  Just one and your out of here".   

Week 8: The Doctor's Madhouse vs. Dolla 49 McRib (Sandy's by the Beech)

Doctor's Mad House: Frank “Wendeezys” Metivier w/ Endless Zyn & Pack of Four Loko, Kurt Houslander w/ Power Glove, Chris Artrip: Fremen Warrior, Invincible Crew (Invincible, Atom Eve, Dupli-Kate, Robot, Rex Splode, Allen the Alien), Hancock, Black Noir, Gabby Kinney, Predator #4-7

Dolla 49 McRib: Picollo, Brolly, Ultraman, Wonderwoman, Mandarin 

Sandy’s by the Beech had seen a lot, at least one raccoon in a Lions jersey but nothing like this.

The neon beer signs flickered like they were trying to clock out early. A lone bartender slowly backed away as the door blew open with a gust of dramatic, totally unnecessary wind.

Dolla 49 McRib entered like they were late to a universe-ending convention.

Piccolo ducked under the doorway, scowling. Broly cracked his knuckles, already vibrating with rage. Ultraman stood rigid and glowing like a malfunctioning streetlamp. Wonder Woman surveyed the room with warrior focus. The Mandarin casually rotated his rings like he was about to ruin someone’s Yelp rating forever.

At the bar, Doctor’s Madhouse was mid argument about whether Four Loko counted as a “strategic resource.”

Frank “Wendeezys” Metivier didn’t even turn around. He just cracked open another can.

“Hey Kurt, you feel that?”

Kurt Houslander flexed his Power Glove. It whirred like an overworked microwave.

“Yeah. The Boss is playin.”

Chris Artrip fully in Fremen warrior mode slowly turned, sand somehow falling off him despite being in suburban Michigan.

Robot scanned the room.

“Hostile entities detected.”

Rex Splode stood up immediately.

“Cool, I’m gonna throw stuff.”

Broly roared and charged.

He slipped on a mozzarella stick.

The entire bar paused.

Broly hit the ground so hard the jukebox switched to Cotton Eye Joe.

Before he could stand up, Dupli-Kate created 30 copies of herself, all pointing and laughing. One handed him a napkin. Another put a tiny paper hat on his head.

Broly stood up, furious.

Rex Splode threw the hat.

It exploded.

Broly flew backward through three tables and into the dartboard

Piccolo stretched his arm across the room dramatically and accidentally clotheslined Ultraman.

Ultraman, already glowing, slammed into a neon sign. The sign flickered, overloaded, and blasted him with about 40 years of dive-bar electrical debt.

He didn’t explode. He just… powered down like a sad appliance.

Piccolo blinked.

“…That seems medically concerning.”

Before he could react, Chris Artrip appeared behind him and whispered “Desert power.”

Piccolo turned and walked directly into a ceiling fan that had no business being that low.

The fan snapped, flew off, ricocheted around the room, hit Piccolo three times, and embedded him in a stack of bar stools 

He slid down slowly. Cooked

Wonder Woman leapt forward, lasso spinning.

Hancock yawned.

She threw the lasso

Dupli-Kate multiplied again, and suddenly the lasso snagged fifteen different Kates.

They all pulled in different directions.

Wonder Woman spun like a Beyblade, smashed into the pool table, launched a cue ball across the room

which bounced off Robot’s shoulder, hit the wall, ricocheted into a plaque

which startled Wonder Woman just enough that she tripped over Allen the Alien’s foot.

Allen looked down.

“Oh. Sorry.”

She faceplanted into the bar. The bar, having had enough, collapsed like it was unionizing mid-fight.

End of Wonder Woman.

The Mandarin raised his rings dramatically.

“Witness true power”

Frank threw a Four Loko.

Not even hard. Just… casually.

The can clipped one ring.

The ring fired.

Into another ring.

Which misfired into the ceiling fan remains.

Which dropped directly onto the Mandarin’s head like a metal frisbee.

He staggered.

Rex Splode tossed a bar stool.

It exploded.

Mandarin vanished in a cloud of smoke, glitter, and at least one regret.

Broly stood up again.

He was done slipping.

He powered up, aura shaking the entire building.

“FINALLY,” he roared

and immediately got dogpiled by four Predators who had been invisible the entire time and just decided now was their moment.

Laser sights danced across the room like disco lights.

Broly tried to swing

but Atom Eve casually redirected the floor beneath him into a soft, glowing ramp.

He slipped again.

This time he slid across the entire bar, out the door, and into a parked car that exploded for no reason whatsoever.

The Predators nodded approvingly.

Ultraman flickered back on for half a second.

Robot looked over.

“Still active.”

Rex Splode threw a peanut.

It exploded.

Ultraman shut off permanently.

Silence.

The jukebox switched tracks again.

Free Bird.

Frank took a sip of Four Loko.

“Alright. Who’s paying for damages?”

Sandy slowly emerged from behind a tipped over fridge.

“…you guys saved my life.”

Hancock shrugged.

“Put it on his tab,” he said, pointing at Broly, who was still half stuck in a car outside.

Allen the Alien leaned on the bar wreckage.

“Fun night.”

Dupli-Kate (one of many) raised a glass.

Chris Artrip nodded solemnly.

“The spice… was chaos.”

Kurt flexed the Power Glove again.

“Still works.”

Robot scanned the scene one last time.

“All hostiles neutralized.”

Frank cracked another can.

“Yeah. And nobody died on our side.”

A beat.

From outside, a car alarm weakly chirped.

Everyone ignored it.

Sandy’s by the Beech returned to normal… which, somehow, was still just as chaotic as what just happened.

Week 8: Cowboy Killers vs Brock Sampson's Murderflies

 The Cowboy Killers are Azazel, Kyle Houslander Dunadan Ranger w/ The Omnitrix, T-X, Firefly, Blackbolt, Hope Summers, Jason Bourne w/Death Note, 2 Degens

Brock Sampson’s Murderflies are Ghazan, Black Lantern Air Bender, The Flash, Adam Warlock, Colossus, Asgardian #1, Bill Cosby, Sue from the Copper Door, Aidan Hutchinson (w/ Daisho), Sherrone Moore (w/ Butter Knife), Colleen from Sandys, Ponyo, Sosuke, Guardian #1&#2 

Oh, Sandys by the Beech, where do I even begin? What was once a haven for great service and unlimited pickles has now turned into a bar of bitchy service and lesser food. But an atmosphere so immaculate that the houslanders and so many others just can’t stay away. And that is where our match takes place, except this time we’re exempt from shitty service and limited pickles because we’ve rented out the place for this occasion. As I get out of Chris and Julie's minivan and walk up to the bar, I get the same wave of magical nostalgia that I typically would get when attending a pre-movie meal, a birthday party, or a preceding Thanksgiving dinner, and I just know this is about to be a great time. 

Swinging open the door, I sit myself next to the ATM and take in the crowd of full tables and occupied bar seats. The Guardians are showing off their bartending skills while Ponyo and Sosuke are running out food to the Cowboy Killers. Brock Sampson’s Murderflies have been drinking since 3 PM, and it would appear Flash is the only team member in sight that isn’t at least a bit tipsy. 

“Boyyousurcinputownsumburssbarry”! Says Collosus

“Yeah, dude… I told you that” Barry Replies and the entire bar erupts in laughter as Barry shakes his head

I’ve never seen Sandys in such a compact setting with the back room being closed for the evening… I can foresee this getting messy quickly. 

Jason Bourne gets up to go take a fat poo and accidentally bumps Colossus’s chair. 

“TheHELLyoubumpinintoBOY” colossus yells without even turning around. 

“You, PUNK,” Jason replies. 

You can feel the atmosphere deflate and everybody's heads turn down in disappointment, letting out an internal sigh of “here we go.” 

Collosus jumps out of his barstool and picks Bourne up by the neck, taking this from a 0 to a 100 in one second as his drunken self repeatedly bashes his fist into Bourne's demolished skull. 

The degens yell from across the room and hurl their beer glasses at Colossus, “Yo what the heck bro that was Jason Bourne!”

Azazel appears on Colossus's shoulder; Colossus grabs ahold of his tail, but immediately loses his grip as Azazel teleports back and forth between the ceiling, the floor, and the bar. Colossus finally delivers a fatal jab to the chest of the immortal being and sends him through the side of the building, begging for more from the Cowboy Killers. 

Hope Summers puts down her chicken tender and has had enough of the bully Colossus as she focuses every ounce of her power from the phoenix force to melt him into a large pile of molten liquid, leaving a large hole in the ground where he stands. 

Oh crap… Colleens here. She’s about to be a massive bitch. Colleen reaches behind the bar and grabs hold of two cracked beer glasses and is about to go ham on these annoying customers with no regard to who’s on whose side. First, she walks up to Kyle and kills him with three sharp stabs to the stomach because she hates the houslanders now and needed to get them out of the way, first things first. Then she does the same to the degens who were hitting the penjamin in the back and just enjoying the show. Sue from the copper door lines up side by side with her food service teammate, but Colleen sticks the broken glass in her left hand right into her neck, leaving her in a pile of blood. Honestly, no idea why she did that. Maybe she wanted to lessen the competition? Or maybe she’s just retarded. Either way, she was really getting on Black Bolt's nerves, so he disintegrated her and finally put her out of her misery. RIP legend. 

T-X is ready to do some work on the puny humans of the murderflies. She approaches the 2021 Big Ten Champions with authority and is surprised by Aiden Hutchinson’s tenacity. Hutch throws a few jabs and immediately shatters his fists, so he resorts to a few wide kicks to the terminator’s figure that are also of no use. T-X crumbles hutch with a flying kick of her own and is face-to-face with the former Michigan coach. He’s so terrified that he just breaks down crying and swallows his butter knife. Not the most efficient way to kill himself, but it eventually got the job done. 

Adam Warlock and Hope Summers are going bar for bar, everything she throws at him, Adam sends right back at her with equal force. The Flash chimes in by running a tight circle around the two and keeping them both off balance in an attempt to keep Sandys in one piece. What was once a dim, calm setting is now lit up with manipulated energy and chaos. Black Bolt joins the party and sends precise sonic screams at Flash, trying to catch him off guard, but to no avail. The Phoenix Force and Adam Warlock's quantum energy are building, and just as Black Bolt was about to hit The Flash, all three of them collide, setting off a chain reaction that just blew the lid off of this place. Firefly ignites his thrusters and shoots out of the bar, hovering towards the traffic lights at Beech and 5 Mile. 

Ghazan tried to protect Ponyo and Sosuke as well as the Asgardian and Bill Cosby, but they were left in the same pile of ash and goo that terminated Black Bolt, Hope, Adam, and T-X in the explosion. 

Firefly watches from a few hundred yards away as several police cars swarm the area and rush the scene. Landing on the ground, preparing to report back to headquarters of a victory, he’s interrupted by his neck being broken with a snap by the fastest man alive.

“It’s over. You’ve lost!” 

Powergirl can hear two pairs of footsteps approaching as she desperately tries to catch her breath on the cold sandy shores of The Black Lake. Her hands make fists into the damp dirt as she lifts herself to her knees to look around. Scattered along the shore are the littered corpses of both teams. Former presidents and beasts of the sea. Godzilla lay lifeless a couple hundred yards away still clutching Ocean Master in its fist. The two seem to have bested each other in combat. Floating in the lake are chunks of the hull from the crashed Quinjet. Jack Lalane floats nearby, clearly he died from exhaustion doing too many laps around the lake. 

The footsteps get closer. Her eyes try to focus. She sees a pair of large boots and another much smaller man dragging a baseball bat beside him. Her focus is briefly distracted when she catches a glimpse of his dumpy. The large boots are stepping on several gremlin babies which clearly spawned when Gizmo hit the water. They pop like grapes. 

She’s taking deeper breaths now as she gets an accurate assessment of the situation in front of her. The duo is in front of her now and Zach raises her chin up to meet his gaze with his bat. 

“I said, ‘It’s over’. You’re all that’s left, and my boy Sinestro here is going to finish you off.”

“Not quite!” she manages to get out as she uses the last of her energy to catch Sinestro off guard with a freeze breath. This lasts for but a couple seconds before Zach hits her with the bat. The breath freezes Sinestro long enough to get grabbed by the Serpent of Slytherin who is very familiar in these waters outside Hogwart’s. He raises the DC villain high in the air and smashes it down on the ground shattering him into a thousand pieces. 

Zach is then grabbed by the rising Powergirl and thrown in the middle of the lake where Seaworm #2A was waiting, mouth open.

Wow. What a spectacle. This is way better than Hogwarts Legacy, isn’t it? I say to my hippogriff, who has so majestically accompanied me upon this fine evening around Hogwarts Castle. The sun lowers, and a luminous glow from the ginormous castle replaces the sun in the night sky, twinkling off the Black Lake, which will grace us with its setting just about two hundred yards from where I float now.  

Just as I start to take in the atmosphere, I see a massive sailboat in the Thousand Sunny emerge from the faint fog on the north side of the lake, patrolled by Freya alongside Professor McGonagall and Heimdall, flanked by Harry and Hermione in the Mini Mary, and several robotic sharks coming from channel three. 

Toward the southwest side of the Lake, the Sigmaz also make their entrance, led by the Thousand Sunny. 

Wait… Both teams have the thousand Sunny?! That's hilarious! Well, next time, people will know to speak up when a vehicle on their own team is getting off-listed by someone else. Oh well. 

The difference is that the straw hats have a ridiculous amount of aura and expertise from piloting their very own ship, and are making a great first impression on this body of water. 

BWOOM!!!

Franky fires several shots of potent energy blasts from the Gaon Canon towards the phony thousand sunny on the other side of the battlefield as Sanji keeps restocking the cola ammunition. Harry and Hermione are the first victims of this onslaught as they get obliterated by a few perfectly landed shots to the Mini Mary, and a few more to the heart of the ship, breaking down its structural integrity. 

“INITIATE THE COUP DE BURST SEQUENCE,” Jinbe exclaims, “EXCEPT THIS TIME, WE AREN'T RUNNING AWAY!” 

Sanji uses the coup de burst, but instead, Jinbe manipulates the waves of the surrounding water to launch it towards the Cowboy Killers Sunny. 

“SANJI, NOW”!!!

Jinbe and Sanji, in one fluid motion, lunge the Thousand Sunny towards the three killaz left on their sunny and crush them, making their god-like nature seem puny in this world of magic. 

“I didn’t see that coming,” - Heimdall says to McGonagall and Freya seconds before the ensuing whiplash that overcame them. Unfortunately, in this heroic kamikaze attempt, Jinbe and Nico Robin were the only ones to jump off the ship before the collision, as Nico used her limbs to mimic an octopus, and Jinbe used the approaching water as a launching pad to stay afloat.

Namorita and Dorma take the charge ahead of Namor, Triton, the Super Soldiers, and Atlanteons of the Cowboy Killers and know it's time to retaliate. 

Namorita makes the first move by grabbing the necks of the floating 90’s slasher villains and lifts them out of the water… 

“This ain’t no Crystal Lake, and I ain't no fool,” says Namorita, hurling Jason and Michael towards the castle and piercing their bodies at the pointy tops of the Wizarding school. Namorita then drops back down to water at high speeds and is bitched by Odin, who sends an elegant, floating crescent kick, brutally killing the wife of Namor. 

Goku swims into the charging Dorma with confidence, PRAYING for a fight. But he is awfully surprised by how fluid Dorma's movements are in the water. Each punch Goku throws, Doma answers with a clean dodge and a robust jab. Each move by Dorma is visibly outclassing the Saiyan, making him feel more human than he has in a long time. Dorma can’t quite make the final blow, but the Atlanteons all come in with their daggers to stab Goku and take him out for good. Several Atlanteons were struck with fatal blows, erasing them from the skirmish, but a few made it out with Dorma alive. 

Enchantress and Rowena Ravenclaw aren't very mobile in the water, but are managing to survive to form and shoot shards of ice towards an off-guard Dorma. Dorma manages to dodge the first few waves but is finally overcome by full shots to his upper body, resulting in severe blood loss, leaving him for death. Triton, with elite speed, takes advantage of their one-dimensional dormant states and kills them both with precise strikes to the dome. 

Meanwhile, Jiggly Puff is having the time of her life singing and bouncing around in a prancing manner right over to the super soldiers and the retreated Atlanteans that fell back with their common brethren. She takes a seat right next to them and sings her lullaby, sinking the killaz and herself to the bottom of the lake in slumber. She was so content, she forgot she couldn’t breathe underwater herself. But I honestly don't think she cares. 

Namor, examining the battlefield, notices the alarming rate at which his teammates are falling. He takes a strong two-handed grip with his Trident of Neptune and confronts the remaining straw hats. With conviction, Namor swipes his weapon at the limbs of Nico Robin and turns her into a seafood platter, then makes a bloody mess of Jinbe, who did everything he could to match the water manipulation of the Submariner. 

Floating bodies are flooding the water, and blood clouds the vision of yours truly, and the two remaining members of each team, Namor and Triton ready to face off against Odin and Harbinger. 

I jump off my Hippogriff and get up close and personal with my snorkel gear underwater; this could get interesting, folks. 

Odin looks to his left and looks ahead, not too fond of the disadvantage he has against the two Water Adepts across from him. Odin's eyes roll in the back of his head, and the surrounding area begins to morph into a thick surrounding rock. The advantage has shifted-Harbinger shoots a yellow beam of energy towards a struggling above-surface Triton, disintegrating him where he stands, turning this battle on its head. Harbinger then sends a following energy blast towards Namor, which is narrowly evaded with Namor running towards the thriving cosmic being. Namor uses his trident to deliver multiple deadly gashes to the abdomen of Harbinger and is now left with Odin himself who is still in a fully concentrated state while also being impenetrable. Namor grabs his trident and crushes the rock-hard floor beneath, allowing him to resurface the water and regain his advantage. With one full flail of his arms he knocks Odin off balance and brings him back to earth. Odin sends several blasts of magma towards the King of Atlantis in attempt to throw him off, but Namor has reached his flow state. With a few sudden movements, Namor is face to face with the God of Wisdom, looking him in the eyes as he relieves him with a slow, sharp, thrust from his almighty trident.

The Great Lake, more commonly referred to as the Black Lake, will host not only its normal inhabitants like grindylows and merpeople, but also a match between two American League powerhouses. Each team’s respective might is honored by the chanting singing of the siren-like merpeople,

“AL, AL, AL, AL, AL, AL, AL, AL!!!”

Even the underwater magical beasts are aware of the American League’s hold over the well respected Fantasy Fantasy League. You can even make out the murmurs,

“Will the NL ever win a Universebowl? They’re unbelievably due, right?”

Alright, alright, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The focus is this water based match here and now. The Underhills have elected to follow Black Manta’s lead and gameplan in the old sunken ship in which no one knows how it got there. Some have speculated similarity to the revered Edmund Fiztgerald (RIP). As they put together a battle strategy, they pay little attention to the fact that the Goobers are highly familiar with traversing kelp, thanks to the swamp benders, and have surrounded the ship on all sides.

Dash gets too impatient and moves to make a strike, however all his speedy legs manage to do underwater are move really slow and make a lot of commotion. Black Manta hears this and spears his Halberd through the child’s chest and manages to hit Arriety and Pod Clock behind him. Frozone moves to avenge his best friend’s kid and sends a volley of frozen shards at the ship wreck. He strikes down the pro benders and Skalor. Mera calls to her leadership,

“We’re floating dead here! We need to retreat to a better vantage point!”

Black Manta doesn’t even need to give the order, the Watcher in the Water charges front and center taking the attention of all the Goobers. As the Goobers try to manage the great tentacles, the rest of the Underhills retreat to the village of the Selkie colony (merpeople). The Watcher is tanking hits from all sides, unaffected, while the tentacles start grabbing some of the Goobers. Ace Duck, Espio the Chameleon, the allicons, and even David Schwimmer are pulled in and swallowed whole. Omniman is unable to stand idle for any longer and speeds through the Watcher in the Water, splitting the great beast in half.

The merpeople are reluctant to allow these foreigners into their village, but fear they could not stop them if they tried, so the Underhills are allowed entry. Black Manta counts their numbers and reestablishes a plan of attack on the Goobers. They won’t be caught off guard next time.

The Goobers also take a moment to mourn the fallen and prepare for battle once again. There’s no question where the Underhills went, it’s just a matter of how they want to approach. Omniman sees the merpeople as lesser beings and not worth protecting from harm, but his argument falls short as the remaining team members don’t take the suggestion well. Follow the lead of the Incredibles, Omniman will.

As the Goobers make their approach to the village, the Underhills take notice… but they aren’t the only ones to. Again the silly Goobers plan of attack is initially foiled as Doctor Octopus tries to make an elaborate and quick entrance, but unfortunately his name is a misnomer and is not well traveled underwater. The seacons take note and crush the metal arms along with the mad minded doctor. Shadow the Hedgehog, having possession of all the chaos emeralds, shows the true meaning of speed as his Super Shadow form is able to traverse the water at remarkable speeds with an invulnerability that shreds through the seacons. Super Shadow appears unstoppable until he meets an immovable object in Bizarro Superman and his own high speed crushes his body against the stronger being.

The remaining Incredibles attempt to join the battle, but I fear these characters aren’t much useful in moving quickly underwater. Even the invisible girl, Violet, is seen underwater by tracking the waves of water moving. It allows Mera and Percy Jackson to combine their superior water skillset to takedown the beloved red spandex super family. Frozone is again left alive and he sends more frozen shards towards the Underhills. This time he’s unsuccessful in hitting anyone, but rather accidentally freezes the water surrounding him and he becomes a popsicle, a rather easy target for Black Manta to shoot at.

Beast Boy and King Shark finally check into the battle and take on the man in a water suit, Black Manta. He tries to evade but is unsuccessful in dodging King Shark’s mouth. Funky Kong and the swamp benders flank the two water animal teammates, but are quickly shut down by the incoming lantern bearers. Larfleeze and Jessica Cruz take down the flank, but King Shark chomps up Jessica Cruz. Larfleeze with the help of Mera takes down the two water animals in King Shark and Beast Boy.

Few remain floating alive in this battle. Fortunately for the Goobers, Omniman’s vast battle experience has never experienced defeat. He moves swiftly and separates Percy Jackson’s head from his torso. Larfleeze floats frozen, shocked by the swiftness, only for Sentry to do the same to the orange bearing lantern.

Mera doesn’t know how to respond, but Bizarro has stepped in trying to take on both Sentry and Omniman. For some reason she does not feel fear, but instead a flicker of curiosity sparks in her, as she feels a large movement of water beneath them. She looks down to see a pair of yellow glowing eyes, unable to make out a figure but can tell the massive size of the creature. The Creature from the Black Lake covers ground quickly and pulls the trio of heavy hitters down to the bottom of the lake. Mera remains… confused, and the sound of fighting slowly diminishes into the depths below…
