The Untouchables Vs. Beckerman's Backyardigans: Beeyatches

The Untouchables are Mr. Fantastic (designated leader), Invisible Woman, Human Torch, The Thing, Broadside, Megatron, Aphrodite, Navy Seal #33-44, Navy Seal Chief Petty Officer #11-13, White Queen, Gung Ho, Slippy Toad, & Ork #20.



Beckerman's Backyardigans: Beeyatches are Tasha (designated leader), Trident, Merman, Sharkticon #1-10, Sentinal #1 & 2, Skullcruncher & Grax, & Krypto.



Both teams are dropped into the water. The Thing throws Jonny Storm into the air to get him out of the water, while in the air he yells "flame on" and turns into Human Torch so he can stay out of the water by flying. Seconds after this The Thing begins to sink and drowns long before he reaches the bottom of the giant body of water. Broadside transforms into an aircraft carrier. Mr. Fantastic, with Invisible Woman on his back stretches his arms up to climb on top of the carrier. Megatron and White Queen carry Aphrodite, Gung Ho, Slippy Toad, and Ork # 20 to the surface of the carrier while they stay airborne. The 2 Sentinals take to the air to combat Megatron, Human Torch, and White Queen but it is not much of a match-up. Human Torch and White Queen simultaneousely blast Sentinal #1 and Megatron takes out the second sentinal with ease. Mr. Fantastic can see that his team is at a definite disadvantage as long as they are in the water so he orders everyone to stay on top of Broadside except for the Navy Seals who are in full scuba gear patrolling the area around them. Tasha sees this as well and orders her team to go deep within the water to regroup. This was a great idea for everyone on the team except for Tasha, because she is the only one that does actually require oxygen. So while the team is regrouping deep beneath the surface Tasha floats her Penguin body up to the surface to get some air. When she resurfaces Slippy Toad is waiting from on top of Broadside; he uses his Lazer gun to blast Tasha, this kills her which infuriates and rallys the rest of the Backyardigan squad. Trident, Merman, Krypto, Skullcruncher, and Grax attack the Navy Seals. The Seals fight valiantly but they cannot seem to do much damage. In the mean time the Sharkticons begin gnawing on the bottom of Broadside which is now unprotected. The Seals, although well trained in hand to hand under-water combat are still a bit mismatched. They were hoping to make it to the small island and set up a perimeter instead of being sitting ducks in an attempt to protect the rest of their team. Trident takes out 5 Seals including one of the Chiefs, while Merman manages to take out one of each, as does Krypto who manages to move through the water with about one third of his speed, which is still considerable. Skullcruncher takes care of the last six but not before a few of the Seals manage to bust apart his partner Grax who was unable to move as swiftly in the water as the well-equipped Seals. Broadside can now feel the Sharkticons chewing through his hull but he knows that he cannot transform into either robot or plane form because it would send his whole team crashing into the water below. Unfortunetely for the Untouchables that is what happens anyway when Broadside can no longer stay afloat after way to much sustained damage. Krypto takes to the air to try to combat the opponents who were not aboard the sinking autobot. Human Torch is the first to go after Superman's dog but he underestimates him quite a bit. Krypto is barely affected by the flames that Human torch is throwing at him and even as Human Torch attempts to punch the dog with his flamed over arm Krypto grabs him with his teeth and pulls him back into the water where he is unable to re-flame and where Skullcruncher makes short work of him. Krypto flies right back into the fray and tries to attack White Queen next. She is not as fast or strong as the flying dog but it is not much problem for her to take over it's rather primitive brain. This gives Megatron an easy oppurtunity to blast Krypto with everything he has got killing the super-powered dog. Now that they are just floating in the water, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Slippy Toad, and Ork #20 are no match for the attacking Sharkticons. They put up a bit of a fight but for those four, their is very little they can do to fight off giant robot sharks. Gung Ho (a tough marine) and Aphrodite (an immortal who must have learned how at some time over the last 10,000 years) are both excellent swimmers and able to avoid this initial confrontation at first. Gung Ho goes after Trident who he thinks looks like somebody he can take in a fight. But no matter how good of a swimmer Gung-Ho may be and no matter how excited he is (get it... Gung-Ho) Trident has the complete advantage. Trident stabs him in the neck with his trident and Gung-Ho dies. Aphrodite in the meantime is using her powers and intense beauty to try to entice the other team in order to trick them. This has no effect on Skullcruncher's or the Sharkticons' Cybertronian brains, and only works on Trident briefly before he shakes it off due to the fact that Trident does not love anyone but himself. Merman on the other hand falls in love with the goddess almost instantly and starts to swim over to her in order to be her servant. She ends this relationship quickly as she uses her god like strngth to crush Merman's skull (and they didn't even need a divorce attorney). This brings the battle to a total stand-off, while Megatron and White Queen stay airborne and the triple B squad now seemingly led by Trident after the untimely death of Tasha, adamantly refuse to leave the water. This stand-off lasts for about two hours before the referee of the match Oatu: the Watcher comes down under orders of the powers that be and against his own beliefs interferes and decides that since this is a water match, the remaining Untouchables will have to give up their vantage point and go on the offensive. Megatron and White Queen dive into the water as fast as they can while Megatron yells "you take the guy with the fork and I'll handle the renegade Decepticons". White Queen holds her breath and goes underneath the water knowing that if she can just get into Trident's head she can take it over and eventually kill him, but Trident manages to get into her head first by jabbing his three-pronged trident into the back of it. Megatron begins to fight fiercely with the other Transformers all 12 of whom know that he is by far the most powerful of them, but this is not enough due to the fact that he is hopelessly outnumbered and not at all in his desired environment. The Decepticon leader in his rage manages to kill Sharkticons #1,3,4, & 9 but is ripped apart by Skullcruncher and the remaining 6 Sharkticons.

When did White Queen learn to fly and "blast" things?? Her powers are telepathy and indestructible diamond skin. The Sharkticons sure did get quite powerful.

Artifact said...

I thought the White Queen's powers were huffing dong and guzzling spooge.

Maybe if she did more of that, the "(almost)Un-touchables" would have had a shot. lol.

All my love

Ryan said...

Well yes, she is extremely good at doing that as well. But that's more of a talent then a power.

Ryan said...

Beware readers…rant ahead. This rant is inspired by the one that my future brother-in-law did last week. Lots of love, Amy

Foreword: Okay, wtf. I am not saying that I had the better team, or that B squared shouldn’t have won, however, I don’t think my team is as lame as it was portrayed. By the way, congrats Brian.

Rant begins:

So, Broadside can be an aircraft carrier or a jet…why didn’t he turn into a jet and fly them to the island, to set up camp, especially since there are so many non-water people. (I will later totally turn on myself for this comment, but for now it stands.) Mr. Fantastic the guy who built the fantastic-mobile (Fantastic Car) goes into the underwater battle with nothing? He can make, like, anything, and he brings nothing, no scuba gear, no fantastic underwater mobile? I mean, he’s well funded and smart as hell, he should have done something. He is too smart to come in un-prepared. The Thing just sinks?!? I realize he is a rock and all, but come on. His team would help him out. Which bring up my next point, the Fantastic Four are a TEAM…they work together. They showed no team work…did they have a falling out or something? As a team, they have fought Namor and Atlantis numerous times, they have experience. Invisible Woman can create force fields, why the hell didn’t she? She could have put a field around Broadside when he was being mow’d-on by Sharkticons. Or one around the Sharkticons and throw them. From my understanding, White Queen can turn her entire body into diamond, which cannot be penetrated by a trident. In addition her telepathic abilities kicks ass-she wouldn’t have had to dive into the water to get into Trident’s head (or try to). Also, I don’t think she has the ability to fly or blast things, however, I do enjoy that you gave her some extra powers. Skullcruncher and the Sharkticons are all Decepticons, which means at one time Megatron was their leader. Wouldn’t he take out all the renegade Decepticons-or at least more than 4 of the Sharkticons? Also, since I am marrying a Transformers dork, I will admit that I have seen quite a few cartoons and read more comics then I care to number. The Sharkticons could not take Megatron; they are not portrayed to be that awesome. Where the f did Oatu come from? And if he is watching all the matches, he should have told the people who got on the island to get off because “this is a water match” they need to be in the water as well. What’s the difference between air and the island…they are both not water.

That’s my opinion, not yours, for whatever the hell day it is in March 2008.

p.s. So Aphrodite just left? She could have taken on someone else.

That was the most clever one yet dude. Plus, it also had your funniest line so far with "She ends this relationship quickly as she uses her god like strngth to crush Merman's skull" Great stuff!

Coming to the league, I thought to myself: "Self, these are some cool people to hang out with and have some fun 'gaming' together." Little did I know that there would be ANTI-SEMITES in the league. Sure, if an individual looks at the surface of the rant's remarks, he/she will simply see an attempt to sway future WATER matches for his significant other, yet if one looks closer, he/she will see the rantings of a Anti-Semite. [I find it comical that this Judas previously showered our commissioner with butt-kissing accolades for his well-thought out battles and now questions his actions - - OH, THE HORROR!!!]

Anyway, using my connections, (since I'm sure you all know that "we" control Hollywood) I contacted my friends at Marvel (Avi Arad) and Hasbro (Joel Finkelstein) about the match. To no one's surprise, they stated that Josh's evaluation of the events that would transpire should these two teams face each other in the WATER was brilliant. [I tend to agree with them].

In summation, Amy, it was a lot of fun whipping your team's butt with my team which was lead by a Nickleodeon Cartoon Hippo that sings "I love being a princess" for my 4 year old twins.

p.s.: The above reply to the rant is neither endorsed by any other member of the Beckerman family, nor any other team within the league. [Hope to see all you gentiles at the end of the fantasy year at my place for the bar-b-q].

Brian-
Reading your response, I thought to myself: “Self, Brian thinks that Ryan wrote MY rant. He is giving Ryan credit. No, No. He can’t possibly think that you are that naïve and stupid. He can’t possibly think that you know nothing about fantasy characters. I wonder if he knows that I picked my team-not my significant other.”

Hmm. And still I wonder.

All my love
-Amy

RACE WAR!!!!

It's ON!!!

Anonymous Amy:
Please be advised that I meant no disrespect to the "better half" of the Ryan/Amy partnership. I simply reviewed the "Ryan" diatribe and assumed he was the individual who believed the match was improperly officiated. Thus, I direct my obnoxious comments to you and not him (who I shall continue to love and adore in an inappropriate way).
LOL- B2

Ryan said...

Wait... which one of us do you continue to love and adore in an inappropriate way? Me or Amy?


(Please say me.)
