Team Fred Vs. Better Than All of You

Team Fred is Travis Bickle, Absorbing Man, Rorschach, Dirty Harry, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Angel, Beast, Super Skrull, Kilowog, Compy #1-96, Vampirella, Bullseye, Brainiac, Ultron, Master Mold, Snake Plissken, Mimic, Rachel Summers(Phoenix), Enchantress, & Vision.

Better Than All of You is Thanos, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Skeletor, Ghost Rider, Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes, Agent Smith, The Terminator(from T-1), The Terminator (from T-2), NS-5 #1-7, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Davey Boy Smith, Dynamite Kid, Mephisto, Predator #1-15, & "The Macho Man" Randy Savage.

The two Green Lanterns see each other on opposite ends of the battlefield. They immediately take flight and fly towards each other. Considering their history and honor, both Hal Jordan and Kilowog agree to face each other later in battle, if they are still surviving. Brainiac and Ultron decided that it would be most beneficial to Team Fred if they could gain control of the robots on Better Than All of You. Brainiac, with his 12th level intellect, is able to tap into the NS-5’s central processors with his telepathy. Thanos sees the NS-5’s turning on their teammates and orders 5 Predators to attack. Thanos moves to assault Brainiac but is wrapped up by Super Skrull’s arm. Thanos breaks free and charges toward Super Skrull as he flies right at Thanos. Super Skrull uses his Thing-like arm to connect with a might right cross as Thanos lands one of his own on the Skrull’s big green jaw. The shockwave from these mighty titans causes the windows of the surrounding buildings to explode. They both are knocked back from the impact. Super Skrull is first to his feet, and jumps into the air and flies at Thanos. He wraps the Mad Titan up with his elastic arms and engulfs him in flames. Unfortunately for him, this is exactly what Thanos was hoping for. He blast Super Skrull with a huge bolt of energy, actually turning the Skrull into charcoal. Under the orders of Mephisto, Ghost Rider whips his hellfire chain around the neck of Brainiac. With a hearty yank, he jerks Brainiac across the street into a fire hydrant. This attack causes his control over the NS-5’s to be relieved, but not before the Predators have to destroy NS-5 #3. All 15 Predators regroup and use their invisibility technology to disappear. The 96 Compys start swarming the city. Blasts from random areas above the city are taking out Compys in large numbers. The Predators using their stealth are able to kill Compys #7, 9, 11, 17, 23, 28, 51, 52, 53, 63, 69, 76, 77, and 80-96. Agent Smith in a calm and collect manner walks through the streets shooting Compys #1, 4, 10, 20, 21, 22, 26, 31, and 74. “All right ya, poozer. Let’s go,” says Kilowog as he slams down in front of Agent Smith. “It’s your funeral, Mr. Lantern,” replies Smith in his typical monotone voice. The Agent punches the Green Lantern square in the chest causing his to soar a half a mile down the street, slamming into the side of a 1988 burgundy Dodge Daytona Pacifica Turbo. “Awwww, what a shame. Loved that car,” says Kilowog as he gets up and flies head first at Agent Smith. As he flies towards the agent, he grabs the Daytona with his power ring and slams it down on top of Agent Smith repeatedly. He then charges his ring up and with a massive green glow, annihilates Agent Smith, killing him. Vampirella and Bullseye team up to take on the Arashikage Clan duo of Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. The scantily clad vampire takes the fight right to Storm Shadow, putting him immediately on the defensive with a flurry of kicks and roundhouses. Storm Shadow retaliates by slicing through the air with his katana blades. Vampirella is able to dodge most of these strikes, but Storm Shadow is able to cut her across her bare torso. Vampirella touches her wound and licks the blood off of her hand with enjoyment. Bullseye is throwing everything he can get his hands on at Snake Eyes. Throwing knives, dead Compys, road debris, but the Silent ninja dodges them all. The G.I. Joe ducks into a parking structure for cover. Bullseye follows him. But before he does, he picks up the glasses of the fallen Agent Smith, breaks off the arms and throws them into the back of the knees of Storm Shadow. This allows Vampirella bite Storm Shadow in the neck, not to suck his blood, but rather a killing strike. Several Compys begin to feast on Storm Shadow’s body. The six remaining NS-5’s converge on Vision and Ultron. They make quick work of the robots with Vision using his physical disruption to tear out the “brain” of NS-5 #1, 2, and 7. Ultron is able to crush NS-5 #6 into the ground and blasts the other two into smoldering piles of metal and plastic. Cyclops orders the rest of the original X-Men to locate and eliminate the 15 Predators. Jean Grey using her telepathy is able to locate several of them, and she links into her fellow mutants' minds to help them see the invisible Predators. Cyclops is able to pick Predator #5 off of the top of a McDonald’s with an optic blast. Iceman freezes Predator #8, which was in midair, ready to kill Beast with a spear. The Predator crashes to the ground shattering on impact. Beast turns to thank his teammate but is tackled to the ground by Davey Boy Smith. He picks the blue furred mutant up and with a running power slam, drives him into the concrete ground. His tag team partner, Dynamite Kid, climbs up onto of a semi truck and attempts a diving head butt on Beast. However, Beast, with his amazing agility, moves out of the way, allowing the wrestler to slam into the ground killing him on impact. Jean Grey then telekinetically picks up one of Storm Shadow’s kitana blades and sends it to Angel who is in the air. Beast then, with his superior strength, grabs Davey Boy Smith and throws him in the air to Angel, who cuts the wrestler in half. This small victory is short lived, as Travis Bickle and Dirty Harry Callahan shoot Angel out of the sky, killing him. Both Bickle and Callahan are the blindsided by clubbing blows to the backs of their heads. The Hart Foundation, Bret “The Hitman” Hart and Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, begin beating them down. The Anvil picks Travis up in a bear hug and The Hitman runs across hitting him with a running lariat. Their patented finishing move, The Hart Attack, is enough to snap the neck of the New York City taxi driver. A bloodied Dirty Harry looks up at the tag team and says, “I know what you're thinking, punks: you're thinking, ‘Did he only bring a crazed taxi driver to watch his back or does he have someone else helping?' Now, to tell you the truth, I've forgotten myself with all this excitement. But being this is Team Fred, the most powerful team in the world, and will blow your head clean off, you gotta ask yourself a question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punks?” And before Bret Hart goes into a rant about how he is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be, and before Jim Neidhart can begin to start manically laughing, tugging on his goatee, Snake Plissken puts two .44 Specials in their backs. “Nice gun,” as Snake hands Dirty Harry his Smith and Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum revolver back to him. “It gets the job done, Plissken,” replies the cop. “Call me Snake,” the outlaw dryly says back. Master Mold meanwhile has been turning the city into an impromptu campfire, as he is roasting the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man to a burning pile of fluff. Hal Jordan takes flight and rockets right through Master Mold’s chest, killing the giant robot. As it crashes down it kills Compys #2, 3, 8, 14, 15, 16, 24, 25, 41, 42, 43, and 64. Absorbing Man then begins to absorb what he believes to be the attributes of a steel girder. However, Skeletor, using his dark magic has tricked the unintelligent thug into absorbing the marshmallow fluff of the fallen giant creature. And with one blast from his havoc staff, Skeletor disintegrates Absorbing Man. The 13 surviving Predators surround what’s left of the original X-Men, as well as Mimic. Jean Grey telekinetically makes Predators #9 and 11’s shoulder mounted rocket launchers fire, killing Predators #1, 2, and 6. Cyclops blast away Predator #10 and Iceman impales Predator #7 with an ice spear. Predator #9 attacks Beast from the back killing him with his wrists claws. Mimic using the power Cyclops and Iceman, kills Predator #3 and 12 with a combination of optic blasts and ice shards. Mephisto, using a spell, blocks Jean Grey’s telepathy and from the oncoming attack. Thanos and Ghost Rider ambush the mutants. Thanos breaks the neck of Mimic with ease, and Ghost Rider using his hellfire shotgun blows Iceman into a million pieces of ice. Jean Grey and Cyclops are backed into a corner, when Cyclops rips his visor off and lets loose his optic blasts at full force vaporizing Ghost Rider. Thanos, with his amazing intellect predicts this move and teleports out of harms way. Cyclops is exhausted by this massive release of power, and as Jean Grey tends to her husband, she is greeted by Thanos who has teleported back. With two heavy blows, he crushes their bodies into a bloodied mess. As Thanos looks at his blood soaked hands he hears a shrieking “Noooooooo!!!!” It is Rachel Summers, who has just witnessed her parents’ brutal deaths. She grabs the titan with her telekinesis and prevents him from teleporting with her telepathy. She then unleashes the power of the Phoenix onto him. When her wrath is done, not even Death herself could recognize her former lover. Rachel then goes into a fury killing Predators #4, 9, 11, 13, 14, and 15. She is then met by Mephisto who increases his height to fifty feet. She flies around the demon at blinding speed, as he fires bolts of energy at her. They miss Rachel, but do manage to kill Compys #5, 6, 12, 18, 27, 29, 33-40, and 68. Phoenix blast Mephisto with several shots knocking the huge Lord of Evil down, though crushing Compys #54-62. While their battle blazes on, Enchantress is able to lure “Macho Man” Randy Savage to her and with one kiss places him under her control. She tells him to kill his teammate Hal Jordan, but as Savage turns away to do his master’s bidding, Compys #13, 19, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, and 50 jump all over him biting him and tearing small pieces of flesh off of his body. The Macho Man is able to kill Compys #13, 19, and 47 before dying from the poisonous bites and blood loss. Bullseye is continuing his search for Snake Eyes through the parking structure, but the hunter becomes the hunted as Snake Eyes stealthy slips behind Bullseye and takes him down with one swipe of his kitana blade. Snake Eyes is the being shot at from Dirty Harry Callahan and Snake Plissken. After dodging several bullets, Snake Eyes is closelined by Rorschach who has been stalking the ninja throughout the fight. A ruthless and resourceful fighter, Rorschach starts pummeling Snake Eyes even though he himself has been stabbed repeatedly by the ninja. Dirty Harry and Snake come up behind the Rorschach, who has Snake Eyes pinned on the ground. They both pump a couple of shots into Snake Eyes’ head, killing him. Rorschach slumps over and bleeds to death. When he does it’s revealed than in a last ditch effort, Snake Eyes has pulled the pin on one of his grenades. The parking structure explodes killing everyone inside. By the way, Compys # 30, 32, 70, 71, 78, and 79 were scavenging for food in there as well. Enchantress thinking that the two Terminators are mere mortals like the wrestler was tries to woo them with her spells. Of course, this doesn’t work, instead, the Terminators, well… terminate her. Vampirella then tries to attack the T2 Terminator who just punches through her chest, killing her instantly. Vision flies in and, using his eye beams, decapitates the T1 Terminator. The T2 Terminator starts shooting at Vision, but never hits the intangible synthezoid. Vision comes down in a harden form on top of the Terminator with such velocity that it crushes the cyborg. Skeletor and Hal Jordan regroup, knowing that they are incredibly out numbered, as Mephisto continues to battle a raging Phoenix. Skeletor and Green Lantern blasts the remaining 12 Compys away while they try to form a plan. Sans Phoenix, the remaining members of Team Fred regroup as well. Brainiac who since the early beginnings of the battle has been watching the fight from a distance, figures that Vision and Kilowog can take Hal Jordan, and Ultron and himself should be able to make short work of Skeletor. Kilowog protests and orders Vision to go help Phoenix and let him fight Hal on his own. Vision agrees, and Kilowog flies off to face one of his closest former allies. Hal Jordan, knowing what he must do flies up as well to meet an old dear friend in battle. Vision rushes to aid Rachel Summers, but before he gets there, Mephisto teleports away from Phoenix. He reappears in front of Kilowog and surprises him with a vicious blast of mystically energy incinerating the Green Lantern. Hal Jordan sees this and though, Mephisto is on his team, is outraged by his actions. Mephisto disappears again. Hal Jordan turns to find himself confronted by Vision and Phoenix flying right at him. Green Lantern uses his power ring to rip apart Vision synthetic body with a large green tiger. Hal is able to get a green force field up just in time to protect himself from a fiery attack by Phoenix. Brainiac and Ultron are stalking Skeletor who is wildly blasting at the two. Mephisto teleports next to Skeletor and they both using their magic pick Brainiac and Ultron up into the air and send them crashing into each other. This only kills Brainiac however. Ultron gets back up and shoots Skeletor with a powerful blast of energy, destroying him. Mephisto then using his vast magical abilities, tears Ultron apart from the inside out. Hal Jordan and Rachel Summers are locked in a heated battle high above the city. The Green Lantern has now made himself a massive set of armor, complete with a shield and sword to battle the Omega-level mutant. Mephisto appears in the sky among the two warriors. This distracts them both, as they turn their attention to the Lord of the Lower Depths. Phoenix in a blazing display of cosmic power obliterates Mephisto. Unfortunately, this leaves her open to a well placed green sword through her shoulder blades. The mutant falls as Hal Jordan is the sole survivor of this battle.
BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU IS VICTORIOUS!

Well fought! Only one survivor. However the team name proves itself once again as it has and will continue to do so in the future.
