Agent 47 circles above the playoff planet in the Batwing, spying on the positioning of the Kennelz while Professor X is using his telepathy to read Agent 47's mind and relay what he sees back to the rest of the Royal Highness team. Professor X then sends out his team and stays inside one of the buildings in the city region of the planet. He would love to go out and help his team fight but he is just as effective from high atop this skyscraper, where he can observe much of this week's activity. Also, the elevator is currently down for maintenance so he is kinda stuck up here anyway...

The Phoenix Force wastes little time in the desert. Certain that they are up against a sandworm this week, Collossus takes to smashing on the sandy earth trying to rise the beast from his slumber while Emma Frost and Cyclops circle overhead. Apollo and Midnighter can feel the earth shake from several dunes over. Professor X senses this from miles away and commands Nova and Worldmind to move in to assist. Nova is first to fly in and he engages Namor while Magik takes on Worldmind. Worldmind falls but Nova is able to best Namor as he then moves in to finish off Magik. Before he can, Emma Frost prevents him from moving any further and Magik is able to smash his head into the hot sand as he is unable to defend himself. As Magik rises back to her feet to thank Frost, she looks into her lifeless eyes as Midnighter has come up behind her and pulled her spine out of her back. Frost falls dead on the sand and before Magik can react, she becomes the lunch of Sandworm #3B.

Cyclops begins to fire his heat vision on the diving sandworm but his mask is shot off by an energy blast from the tip of Apollo's finger. Cyclops falls blind to the ground and Apollo takes another shot at Collossus who is moving in to help his fallen teammate. Marv (wielding Greithoth) and Beast Man (with Angir) also come to assist their fellow Kennelz and Midnighter now returns to stand by his husband's side. The Sandworm leaps into the air for his final strike, and lands upon the still struggling Cyclops. As he is going back into the ground, Marv and Beast Man swing their hammers together to crush the body of the decending sandworm and he writhes in pain momentarily before finally dying.

Staggered by their hammer swings, Marv and Beast Man return to their feet with just enough time to see Apollo and the Midnighter decend upon them. Apollo burns out Marv's eyes before he can strike and Midnighter removes his heart. By this time, Beast Man has lowered the breaker of souls down on the Midnighter ending his life and an enraged Apollo avenges his lovers death by harnessing the power of the sun and setting Beast man on fire. Collossus is easily able to crush the head of an exhausted Apollo before retreating to join his remaining Kennelz.

Nightsister Sith Witch (with Nerkkod) and Princess Leia (with Skirn) are in the water floating on an old barn door arguing over which side of the force is more powerful. Above they see Agent 47, who is still circling overhead in the batwing, taking shots at them with his rifle. The water begins to ripple as the Eradicator flies toward them, just above the surface of the water, and the two ladies use their hammers to furiously try and paddle their barn door to safety. The Eradicator continues to fly around the pair in circles, causing the water to begin to form a whirlpool and they are flushed underneath and never resurface.

The Eradicator lands on the beach next to teammates Doomslayer and Steel Doomsday amused with himself. Not amused are Steel Superman, Kratos, Blanka (with Mokk), and Ares who are also on the shores of the playoff ocean. The teams move in to fight and the Highness team is worried going up against two 9 deathers for the Kennelz. Doomslayer is avoiding most of the swings from Kratos's Heat Axe; however, one blow manages to lodge itself into his leg and in a fit of rage, Doomslayer pulls the handle of the Heat Axe closer to get Kratos in range and then upper cuts him into the stratosphere where he lands somewhere else far away dead. Ares has moved in and stabs his atlas into Doomslayer's back. Still furious, Ares is knocked into the water with a backhand from Doomslayer. Blanka lands a blow from Mokk that brings the enraged Doomsday clone to his knees, alive but defeated. A soaked Ares walks out of the water, blood running down his face, to the exhaused Doomslayer and ends his life with a mighty stomp on his head.

Ares then throws his atlas into the air and strikes the batwing sending Agent 47 crashing down to the water. He struggles to the shore and the Eradicator violently helps his teammate to his feet. Agent 47 takes shots at the son of Zeus but Ares continues to approach him. He grabs the hitman by the neck and throws him into the shallow water. Steel Doomsday moves to help but before he can reach him, Blanka crouches down and begins to electrocute him. Ares holds Agent 47 under water face up so he can watch his eyes go dead. Steel Doomsday reaches his hand out as far as he can go and manages to stick his arm into the water as Blanka continues to electrocute him. Ares is knocked to the beach as the massive amount of electricity runs through his body. The Eradicator uses his power to absorb the electricity from Blanka, which frees Steel Doomsday, and then channels all of the stored energy into one massive blast directly to the chest of Ares, sending him to the graveyard.

Steel Doomsday kicks Blanka onto his back and the Eradicator bends over and manages to pick up Mokk, raise it high above his head, and crush the skull of Blanka with his own hammer. Steel Doomsday and The Eradicator then turn to look at Steel Superman who considers a fight until reinforcements begin to arrive for The Highness members. Steel Superman feels his best chances at helping his team are to retreat to space and join the fight where he might actually have some backup.

In space, Vampire Jean Grey is flying in her B-wing and has begun to take shots at Shao Kahn who is easily blocking each one with his hammer, Skadi. Steel Superman has just arrived and uses his heat vision to burn out one of the engines sending her off course crashing into the planet below. Q sees this and moves in to end the reign of the Man of Steel... of Steel. He starts channeling his energy into throwing space rocks at him. Most of these just bounce off his armor and are more for his amusement anyway, but it does get Steel Superman's attention. Shao Kahn throws Skadi toward Q and he must now quickly redirect his energy toward stopping the hammer from striking him. This gives Steel Superman the chance to get behind Q and before he can react, Steel Superman has reached both hands through Q's torso showing him his own heart. Pleased with his massive accomplishment, he soon realizes that since Q is now dead, nothing is stopping his teammates hammer from heading his way. With his arms bound by Q's ribcage, Steel Superman can only watch as the Skadi: Herald of the Sepent, is lodged directly into his skull ending his life.

In the city, the battle has been going on for hours. CuM Punk is spraying hot love from his Flamethrower setting everything on fire. His annoyed teammates (Inge, The Oblaks and Dexter the Dog) are following behind covering their mouths to keep from inhaling too much soot and smoke.

As they all turn a corner on one of the streets, they are met by Highness members NFG Mike, Josh, and Heather Houslander. A sweet lighsaber battle breaks out Teresa and Heather are going at it while NFG battles Brandon Inge. Black Lantern Josh is taking on both Oblak brothers and CuM punk is just firing his flamethrower into the air.

Dexter the Dog sees his trusty owner being attacked and bites the neck of BL Josh Houslander. His artery is badly damaged and after a couple of more bites, Josh fades to black. Suddenly, several giant chunks of concrete fall upon the combatants as Cyborg Doomsday and Superboy Doomsday laugh from high above on top of the building above the recent fight scene. No one is left stirring in the street below.

PF Collossus has returned from the desert and meets up with the 4 Inhumans. The Kennelz have all converged in the Fantasy town square to try and draw the Highness in. Ulik, Serpent, Shao Kahn, Gimli and Beast Wars Megatron are all there. Still up above on the buildings Cyborg Doomsday and Superboy Doomsday move into position to attack. The Eradicator and Steel Doomsday return from the water and Yoda climbs on The Eradicator's shoulders.

Silence falls upon the square for just a moment before Cyborg Doomsday starts the action. Jumping down from the roof top he manages to take Gimli by surprise and crushes him easily. Shao Kahn is also proves to be no match for him as he is without his mighty hammer. Medusa quickly whips her hair around Cyborg Doomsday to restrain his arms and this allows Maximus the Mad time to shove his red lighsaber into his chest. The Eradicator kicks Medusa to the ground and holds her down with his foot on the back of her neck. Yoda jumps off his back and plunges his lightsaber into her head before her hair can do more damage.

Collossus takes a punch at Steel Doomsday who's armor absorbs the punch well. They trade blows back and forth until Collossus hesitates for just a moment, giving Steel Doomsday enough time to wind up and punch his face hard enough to damage his brain and end his life. His victory is short lived as Nul, the hammer held by Beast Wars Megatron, strikes Steel Doomsday breaking and bending his body until he cannot recover from his injuries. Superboy Doomsday flies down and catches Gorgon by surprise. Forced to turn his back from his previous fight, Yoda is able to put his lighsaber into the base of Gorgon's skull. This enrages Maximus the Mad and as Yoda fends off his weak lighsaber attacks, The eradicator and Superboy Doomsday rip his limbs from his body.

Ulik and the Serpent have seen enough and double team Superboy Doomsday. He falls to their attacks but manages to kill the Serpent by burning a hole in his chest before he dies.

Yoda and The Eradicator are beginning to feel trapped. Ulik and BW: Megatron are closing in on the duo. Behind them, the skyline begins to shift and Metroplex rises high above. BW: Megatron wastes little time attacking but his efforts are short lived. It takes just a few MASER cannons to dispatch him along with his hammer, Nul. Ulik turns to Black Bolt.

“Now is your time! You got another life left in you?” yells Ulik.

Black Bolt smiles and begins to inhale deeply.

The Eradicator grabs Yoda and takes off.

Ulik climbs the mighty Metroplex and rips his cannons off. He cannot move in time before Black Bolt releases his scream that not only kills Metroplex and Ulik, but levels 10 square blocks of buildings.

After several minutes Yoda returns walking next to the Eradicator. Black Bolt charges at the two and using his Green Lantern ring, constructs a giant lasso to restrain The Eradicator and then removes his head with Mace Windu's lightsaber.

Towering above the tiny Yoda, Black Bolt inhales again. But this time, it is Yoda that smiles. As Black Bolt goes to scream, he finds himself speechless and he doesn't know why. He then looks over his shoulder and sees Professor X who is controlling his mind and restricting his speech and movement. It is now clear to Black Bolt why Yoda and The Eradicator left a few minutes ago.

Yoda climbs the back of Black Bolt and hesitates.

“A good run, you had. To the graveyard, you must go.” the Jedi Master says.

Yoda raises up and sinks his lightsaber into the neck and severs the spine of the massive Inhuman.
