UNIVERSE BOWL IX: CHAPTER XVII

Forest Region. . .

Wally “Wallykazam” Trollman travels with his trusted companion, Norville the Dragon.  The duo are accompanied by Frogsuit Luigi.  A red blur flashes by the Slave trio.  The shape comes to a stop; it is the Flash.

Wallykazam:  Flash, you are no match for me!  I have the power of making words come to life!

The Flash scoffs at the small animated troll. 

Wallykazam: Zoom!

Trollman waves his magic stick and the word Z-o-o-m becomes Professor Zoom.  Professor Zoom smacks Barry Allen to the ground.  The Flash attempts to shake off the blow when suddenly Frogsuit Luigi leaps into the air and pounces upon the Flash.  Norville joins Luigi in his attempted battery of the superhero.  The Flash eventually manages to shrug the trio off. 

Zoom rushes away and then races back toward the Flash, looking to deal a death-blow.  Just as Zoom reaches the Flash, Wallykazam shouts another word and waves his magic stick.

Wallykazam: Grodd!

Zoom transforms into Gorilla Grodd, who smashes into the Flash and then grabs the speedster by his legs.  The beast repeatedly crushes Allen’s body on the ground.  While Grodd battles the Flash, Wallykazam thinks of his next word.  He is about to utter D-a-r-k-s-e-i-d when a shot is heard.  Trollman screams.  The wordsmith looks down at a hole in his hand; his magic stick falls to the ground.   He then turns around to view Agent Smith.

Agent Smith:  This charade has gone on long enough.

In an instant, Smith sets upon Trollman.  The Matrix agent fires his weapon, point blank range and blows Trollman’s brains out.  The Flash reacts at being freed from Grodd-come-to-life and instantaneously kills both Norville and Frogsuit Luigi.

Agent Smith:  Why do you play?

The Flash:  Had to make it somewhat interesting.  Come on, give me a break!

Agent Smith:  You allowed them to think they had you.

The Flash:  Yep; that’s the fun! Let the confidence overwhelm them and then. . . BAM!  Crush their wills and bodies at the same time.

Agent Smith acknowledges Allen’s strategy and the two race off for the next skirmish.
