PROLOGUE: STAN LEE CONFERENCE FINALS

The rivalry between Beckerman’s Backyardigans Beeyaatches and Team Sleeping Pussy predates the Fantasy Fantasy League itself. The two team owners, closest of friends, have clashed over a great many of things throughout their time as hetro-life partners. But none more viciously as what we are about to be witness to here in the Stan Lee Conference Finals. The Backyardigans have a near immaculate record against the Pussies during these past first five years of the League. Though, unlike any time before now not only do they meet in the Playoffs, but they shall do battle for the right to proudly wave the flag into the Universe Bowl for their Conference. These two teams are short of pep rallies and speeches; instead, they waste no time searching one another out in this galactic sized confrontation.

"KANG!! WHERE ARE YOU???!!! COME CONQEUROR!! COMES SEE HOW YOU FARE AGAINST PERAXXUS, DESTROYER OF WORLDS!!!!" screams one of the newest additions to Beckerman's impressive roster of talent.

His words echo across the Playoff Planet, where Kang has assembled a small team to assist him in his latest machinations.

"This is the information Kang has been able to gather," begins the Conqueror. "The entire roster of what we're up against is unclear, but these are the pieces that shall be utilized and lead us to glory."

The team looks over what Kang has brought them.

"I recognize some of this from my Planetary guides," says Elijah Snow "Some heavy, heavy hitter. You sure about this, Rama?"

"Kang is always sure, are you sure that your man can assist Kang with his device?" the time traveler retorts.

"Drums is the best I got, he's already on it,” responds Snow. “What about that madman screaming for you, Kang? Shouldn't you deal with that?"

Kang smirks. "Feh. Kang has more important things to deal with than the latest destroyer of the moment. Why don't you and the rest of your underlings go and handle the light work. Kang still has much to prepare."

"Well, since you asked SO nicely" grimaces Snow, and with that he, Ambrose Chase and Jakita Wagner go off to face Peraxxus while The Drummer remains behind with Kang and black lantern Kyle Rayner to work on Kang's latest master-weapon.

The Planetary trio finds the new 52 villain and engages him. Ambrose Chase slows time around the mighty behemoth, allowing Jakita Wagner's mighty punches to be landing with what seems to be super speed. This staggers the giant, dropping him to his knees. Snow then notices that Peraxxus seems to be bleeding. He studies the time displaced creature and begins lowering Peraxxus' internal body temperature. Snow eventually succeeds in completely freezing the destroyer's heart, giving Wagner the opportunity to punch her fist right through his heart, completely shattering it and killing Peraxxus.

Exhausted from the effort, Snow looks at his teammates "Well…the easy… part is… over. On to the tough stuff.” The group goes to the next part of Team Sleeping Pussy's battle plan.

While this is going on, the work on Kang's super-weapon is interrupted when Oblivion finds the group.

"Right on time," sneers Kang. "Kyle. If you will."

"Of course. Been meaning to take this back," growls Kyle. He aims his ring at Oblivion and begins to absorb the creature. Kyle begins glowing and smiles "Home again, home again," he mocks as Oblivion is returned back to where he came from, the dark, evil part of Kyle Rayner's mind.

"Drummer. Report!" exclaims Kang.

"It's as you thought, the absorption of the creature has overpowered our black lantern. He's at near god-like powers now," the Drummer informs.

"And the device?" asks Kang.

"Is ready and should work, provided you get the final component," replies The Drummer as he hands Kang a large backpack type device with a gauntlet.

"Excellent. Be off to assist your comrades, they'll need you. Kang shall give this a proper test run," says Kang as he puts on his latest creation.

Drummer departs, leaving Kang alone with Black Lantern Kyle/Oblivion. "For GLORY!" he cries as he fires a blast at his teammate/adversary, causing him to vanish leaving his black lantern ring on the floor. Kang quickly puts the ring on the hand opposite the gauntlet.

"Now to make sure it works" says Kang as he triggers the gauntlet while the black ring begins to reform its original host. Suddenly, the reformation stops, and the energy begins to envelope Kang. The descendent of Reed Richards lurches forward for a moment as the energy overwhelms him.

He hacks several times as it consumes him. But Kang regains his posture, arches back and yells into the heavens, "YYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!" THE POWER!!! THE ABSOLUTE POWER!!!! THIS SHALL BE KANG'S GREATEST HOUR!!!!"

With the effort it takes a person to blink, Kang is instantly transported to the moment he's thinking of; Planetary's battle with the In-Betweener.

Things have not gone well for Planetary, as the In-Betweener has quickly and neatly destroyed the entire team. He looks as the near omnipotent Kang appears.

"I have been expecting you," he calmly says to Kang.

"As you should have. For the moment of you death is near.”

The In-Betweener extends his hand out and attempts to vaporize Kang, but the time traveler is prepare for such an attempt. He uses his gauntlet and manages to absorb the energy blast. One that should have thoroughly annihilated him. “My power now supersedes yours. Any last words?" snarls the near omnipotent Kang.

"Just a question. What next?After you dispatch me, what will you do?" asks the In-Betweener.

"What do you mean?Victory. I will celebrate victory!" says Kang. "I have seen the proof. I destroy you."

The In-Betweener floats there with his arms crossed. "You may, but is you victory assured? Are you certain this is your day? For we have more dangerous weapo-"

"Enough of your tactics. DIE!" screams Kang as he obliterates the In-Betweener.

Kang then notices the Death Star, orbiting the site of his latest bloodbath.

"A fitting throne for Kang," he thinks, and with that sets off to overtake the ominous space station.
