A Brief History of the FFL
Many years ago an argument began between two combatants. Like so many
fools before them, they each thought that they were the greatest warrior in the
universe. They planned a fight to determine who the best was. Word spread of
the fight, and soon others wanted in. Chaos spread throughout. Many believed
themselves the champion but none lived long enough to gloat.
Amongst the chaos arose a man. This man referred to himself as the “Commish”.
The “Commish” had a plan to bring order to the universe. He brought all of the
combatants together by forming a “league”. In this “league” there were
“schedules” and “playoffs”. The dead were even paid respects in the
“graveyard”. Although no one could single handedly claim victory, they could be
part of something that legitimately could make that claim. For the benefit of
all, he brought peace through war.
That is the official story.
While most combatants are happily fighting for their team, hoping to
win the first ever universe bowl, they are unware that they have been here
before.
But what does this have to do with this week’s match? The playoff
planet is the key to everything. This is where the strongest engage in the
biggest battles. This is for all of the glory, nothing is held back. That is
the playoff planet’s purpose, although it is not its entire purpose.
Some have become aware that this is not the league’s first incarnation.
The great reset, as they have been told, was for the betterment of the league.
Many prominent figures had fallen and some questioned if this was still truly
the “best of the best” that were fighting. In the interest of strengthening the
league, all were brought back and again given fair shot of becoming champions.
The Playoff Planet’s Basement
What is not talked about is what happened before the great reset.
Although it can be difficult to see a teammate parish, it is understood that
the fight is for the greater good and as such there will be inevitable losses.
There began a rise in reports of ghosts of fallen comrades. These
ghosts only appeared on the playoff planet and were only ever those who had
moved on to the “graveyard”.
While the time of their appearance and which team they reached out to
vary greatly, their message was always the same. Their souls and powers had
been harvested by something from within the planet, for a much more sinister
motive. They anguished over having fought their battles and pleaded with their
former teammates to stop.
Players began to question the league. Some became hesitant in battle,
others deserted. Many questioned the decision to continue using the playoff
planet and requested a full investigation into the planet. Why must the playoff
planet ALWAYS be a death match when outside of the playoffs? The league was
beginning to unravel.
Obviously, this is bad for business and as a solution the league was
reset.
While there are many whispers around the league of its previous incarnation,
none know for certain who is behind the playoff planet or what their motives
are.
“Master Yoda, the enemy is
approaching.” yells Neo, breaking Yoda’s concentration. “We need to get ready,
they will be here soon.”
“More time I must have.” Replies
Yoda. “Uncovered something more important than this battle, I have.”
Harry Potter and Dumbledore are gallivanting
around on Harry’s Quiddich
broom (I assume that is what those books/movies are about) when they are
knocked off from lasers blasts by Skywarp and Thundercracker. Bizarro Superman,
who is flying nearby, decides that rather than saving his falling teammates he
will instead fly through the transformers. He then feels shots in his back as
he sees Air Zonk, Power Dump, and Astra flying towards him. He uses his flame
breath to incinerate the three.
Meanwhile, Han and company fly
into the desert, followed closely by Lando’s crew, along with Dean Cain in his
AT-RT
“Alright Chewie, let’s do this!”
Han says as they take the Millennium Falcon er, I mean Y-1300 close to ground
level. The sandworms begin popping out of the sand, narrowly missing their
target. Peppy and Slippy begin gunning the sandworms behind them, while Alf and
Lobot shoot them from the Outlaw. One by one the Sandworms fall dead into the
sand.
“Yeah, we did it!” exclaims Han
as he and Chewie celebrate. Just then another Sandworm pops out and consumes the
Outlaw and everyone on board, as well as Dean Cain and his AT-RT.
“Who was counting?!” screams Han
as the ship turns around and guns down the remaining sandworm.
“No time to mourn, we need to
meet up with the others.” As they fly off.
Gamera and Quasar head out into
the ocean. Gamera dives deep comes out with a seaworm in his hands. Quasar moves
in to blast apart the seaworm. Both Quasar and Gamera turn as they hear the
distinctive roar of Godzilla as he emerges from the water. Before either can do
anything Godzilla unleashes his atomic ray disintegrating Quasar and blowing a
hole through Gamera. Godzilla lets out another roar as he moves to regroup with
his team.
The House Elves regroup.
“I’ve found the bunker they are
hiding in.” Says Iron Man. “Follow me.”
As the House Elves approach they
see Magneto standing alone, seemingly anticipating them.
“You can stop right there.” Says Magento
Rather than have one of those conversation
that happen right before all of the action happens Iron Man tries to catch him
off guard by zipping in for the attack. Magneto stops him only inches away.
“Valiant effort, Iron Man.”
Magneto says before redirecting him back towards his team while launching all
of his weapons at them. They take out Medusa, Gorgon, and Karnak while Iron Man
explodes into Godzilla. Omega Supreme moves in on the damaged Kaiju finishing
him off. Magneto's teammates emerge from the bunker quickly scattering and engaging the enemy.
Another one of Iron Man’s
missiles nearly hits the Y-1300. Chewie lets out a roar and Han gets excited,
until they hear Luke over the intercom.
“Han, old pal. I’m glad I got to
see you before you died this time.” Says Luke just a moment before his proton
torpedo blows up the Y-1300 and everyone inside.
Lockjaw doesn’t see any cats
around so he skips a step in the circle of life and runs after might mouse, who
becomes a mighty fine meal for him.
Santa lands his sleigh on the
ground near He-man and Battle Cat. Battle Cat begins mauling the reindeer while
He-man swings away at Santa, cutting off limbs and fatally wounding him. He-man
looks down at the dead Santa and reindeer to see it coming together and
reforming into a person who looks just like He-man. Catching him off guard T-1000
sticks his replicate straight into the heart of He-man.
From within his bunker, Yoda
hears faints noises of explosions and gunfire as he slips back into his
meditative state.
The key is at the beginning
The originators of the FFL were not just two random fighters as many
think. They were in fact very calculated in their actions. While both are very
skilled they knew that they would not be able to take on the universe
themselves, it is simply too big with too many powerful beings. Instead, they
manufactured and instigated fights amongst the others creating the chaos. They
realized that others could do all of the work for them and they wouldn’t have
to lift a finger.
“Tell me who they are, you must!”
pleads Yoda
Who do you think would have the
most to gain? Who are the two highest ranking members of this league?
“No, true it cannot be. The owners
of these two teams. Lead us to death they would not.” Says Yoda
Actually, you are right.
“What?!?!” exclaims Yoda.
Mr. Mxyztplk appears out of nowhere.
“I’ve been making this up as I go.” Replies My Mxyztplk.
“You sit there with such a serious face and listen intently to everything I
say. I just couldn’t help it.”
“Why me? Your own teammate you have betrayed!”
asks Yoda.
“Oh believe me, I tried Luke first. He wouldn’t
listen, just wanted to run off and save his friends. You know about that, don’t
you?”
“Yes!” exclaims Yoda as his light saber ignites
through Mr. Mxyztplk.
“Oh, now that is good!” before his limp body
falls to the ground.
Yoda runs outside to meet up with his team.
He sees destruction everywhere as
he scans for survivors. In the distance he sees Luke landing his x-wing. Nearby
he hears the maniacal laugh of Emperor Palpatine.
“Hahahahahaha! They will soon be
done!” laughs Palpatine as Luke approaches.
“Luke, surrender you must. Outmatched you are. Let you go we
will.” Says Yoda.
“Master Yoda, you know better than anyone that is not my
nature.” Replies Luke as he ignites his light saber.
“Be done boy!” growls Palpatine as he shoots force lightning
at Luke. At first Luke is able to handle it but quickly becomes overpowered
convulses as he absorbs the massive shock.
There is a loud boom and a flash. The combatants are momentarily
blinded and deafened. They see a crater where Palpatine previously stood. Next
to the crater stands tall muscly man brandishing the finest hammer you’ve ever
seen.
“Force lightning is weak!” bellows Thor as he hurls Mjolnir
towards Yoda.
As Yoda narrowly
dodges the hammer Luke picks up light saber and swings it at Yoda. Yoda anticipates
this and blocks his attack. He however did not anticipate Mjolnir’s return to Thor
and it passes through him.
Thor flicks back his luscious golden locks, raises his massively
muscled arms in the air, admires his beautiful hammer for a moment and then takes
flight back to the locker room.

The House Elves are Victorious!
Thor, Luke, as well as Santa and his reindeer survive (it’s April, they are too busy at the north pole making presents to bother with this battle).
For all his power, you just can't count on Mr. Mixes Potluck to play by the rules.
Great match, especially that totally subtle touch of homoeroticism at the end.
Awesome match Ed!! I love when you write!!
Congrats Fizz, I'll get you next time.
