Team Fred Vs. The Horsemen of Apokolips

Team Fred is Brainiac (designated leader), Namor & his Griffin, Aspen, Black Manta, Kilowag, & Navy Sailor #1-16.





The Horsemen of Apokolips are Larry Reamer (designated foreman), Dr. Strange, Supergirl, Sinestro, Gideon, Six Shot, Selene: The Black Queen, Meggan, Serci, & Navy Seal Chief Petty Officer #1.





Namor opts to let his team's designated leader Brainiac ride on his flying griffin while he jumps into the place where he is most powerful, the water. He is followed by his teammates Aspen and Black Manta who have no intention of resurfacing before this battle is over. Aspen creates a large wave which sends the 16 sailors closer to the small island in the water where they set up a perimeter before any of the horsemen can get there. Dr. Strange starts to conjur up some mystical power but Brainiac from atop the Griffin attacks Dr. Strange's mind with his own. His intent is to take over the mind of Strange and force him to use his powers against his own team. Brainiac is unable to do so because Dr. Strange's ability to concentrate is so great; but he is still somewhat successful as the mystical wizard's brain simply explodes from the intense stress that is put on it by both of the powerful men. Kilowag from the air quickly sneaks up behind the also airborn Serci and uses all of his will to muster up as much green energy as possible. The very physically strong lantern brings himself to a point of complete exhaustion as he blasts Serci with everything he has got, disintegrating every last cell in her celestial body. Kilowag completes what is supposed to be impossible by killing the avenger but that is also one of the reasons why he puts up virtually no fight as Sinestro flies up behind him and with a blast of yellow energy does nearly the same thing to him. Led by Larry Reamer, Gideon, Selene, Meggan, and Chuck (that's Navy Seal Chief #1's first name) start charging up the shoreline of the small island where the Navy regulars are camped out. The Sailors start firing at the Horsemen as they take out Larry, Chuck, & Meggan; who has made herself look like that chick from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, wearing a Rusty Wallace T-shirt to encourage Larry's leadership abilities. Black Queen uses her telekinetic powers to make the guns of the sailors start wacking their owners in the head, and Gideon does the same as he takes on the powers of his teammate. The Sailors throw down their guns and attack the 2 mutants. Selene takes out 6 of them but Navy Sailors #7 & 9 knock her down and Sailor #14 stabs her in the throat with his diving knife. Gideon then uses the enhanced strength of Selene before it dies out to kill the last of the Navy Sailors. Sixshot in his flying wolf form attacks Namor's Griffin. The smaller griffin puts up his talons in an attempt to defend himself but the attempt is futile as the Decepticon rips him apart. Sixshot then transforms into his robot form and grabs Brainiac. The Decepticon assassin begins to squeeze the life out of Brainiac but something strange happens as Brainiac, uses the last bit of his power on an attacker that truly thought he was immune to it. Sixshot, despite being a robot is still a sentient being so Brainiac is able to use his alien abilities of telepathy to shut down Sixshot, causing the huge Transformer to join him in death. Gideon jumps into the water and takes on the power of Namor once he sees him in the distance. Sinestro then creates a mask for himself and dives into the water as well. Supergirl simply takes a deep breath before she flies down to join them which should be enough for several hours. Gideon loves how energized the water is making him feel, as he quickly swims toward Aspen to fight but he does not have quite enough time to get used to his strange powers before fellow evil business tycoon Black Manta blasts him with his murderous lazer beams to fry him like he has done to so many other undersea opponents. Namor and Supergirl begin trading blows with each other under the water. Supergirl is thinking that if she was only able to get The Sub-Mariner on land or in the air she would have been able to put him away by now but she is having much trouble keeping up with him in his desired setting. Sinestro tries to attack Aspen but she is able to push away any attack the yellow lantern throws at her by simply repelling it with as much water necessary to quell the attack. She then sends such an intense undertoe at Sinestro that it completely throws him off guard. His mistake is that instead of rolling with this attack he uses his power to try to block the water and in this attempt at defense is unable to maintain his energy powered oxygen mask. He drowns under the massive force of the water. The last thing Supergirl was told by her head Coach Vandal Savage at the exclusive meeting which was attended by only the 2 of them, Achilles and Darkseid was simple. He said to her "Remember, there are only a few people on this entire team who are more important to the cause than a single victory, and you are one of them". This is all she could think about as she witnesses the death of the mighty Sinestro and becomes surrounded by 3 people who unlike her are perfectly at home in the water. This is also why she then resurfaces and retreats to fight another day.
TEAM FRED IS VICTORIOUS!

Hardest schedule in the league. Savor this victory, Fred. Pray we don't meet in the playoffs.

That very well could be a first round match-up.
