Ahsoka's Acrobatic Assassins Vs. TEAM

 Ahsoka's Acrobatic Assassins are Grand Master Luke Skywalker, Poggle the Lesser in a Geonosian Starship, Sun Fac in a Geonosian Starship, R2-D2, C-3PO, Indiana Jones, Henry Jones Sr., Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum), Captain Rex, John Stewart (w/ a blue lantern ring), Black Lantern Dr. Manhattan, The Sentry, Ethan Hunt (w/ a Indigo Lantern Ring), & Orc #49-50.


TEAM is God Emperor Leto II, Leto II, General Grevious, Magnaguard Droid #1-2, Wolverine, Non, Neo, Morg, Jet Li, George Lucas (w/ a Force Saber), Mandalorian Clan Leader Adam Hernandez w/ Mandalorians Kate Hernandez, Jackson Hernandez, & Eric Gilson, Mike Geney:  Jedi Knight, & Hammer Bros. #5.


As The God Emperor Leto II quickly takes over the Jundland Wastes territory of Tatooine and TEAM's troops fortify a position all of the way to Anchorhead with perfect military precision, The Assassins remain calm and safe in a small outcropping that Luke had remembered from his childhood that he knew would suit their needs as a base of operations.  As the squad awaits the proper time for attack, some of the AAA Crew begin to converse with one another.  Ethan Hunt approaches the two Orcs who are off by themselves, and says:  "I'm sorry guys, it seems I don't even know your names".

"I Orc #49.  This Orc #50".

"No.  Your real names My Friends".  Says Ethan.

"I Mornock.  This Grimtug.  No one ever asks real names.  We commons.  We Assassins tho.  We here to fight for cause of winning".  Says Orc #49.

The two Orcs never knew how to be actual friends with their teammates and were more than honored when Ethan Hunt even got Luke and Ahsoka to come over and introduce themselves.  The Force Users apologized for having never spoken with the Orcs before, who had assumed that the human-looking creatures of the team hated them the same way mutual, unspoken hatred existed on Middle Earth where they had originated.  Lastly, after hands had been shaken and friendships forged over the looming idea of intense battle upon them; Ethan Hunt noticed Grimtug, the quieter of the two orcs eyeing the shiny ring on his finger.  

Ethan speaks:  "That's my Indigo Ring.  I never have been able to do much with it, other than a little flying around.  Wanna see it"??  Ethan asks as he takes off the ring and hands it to Grimtug.

The Orc's eyes light up and his friend Mornack speaks for his speechless fellow Orc.  "Where we come from, there are rings so powerful that they can dominate entire armies".  

Grimtug attempts to take the ring off of his finger; but he cannot.  Ethan Hunt seems surprised; but not angry as he never much liked the ring.  Ahsoka nods to Luke and Luke says what they are both thinking.  "We Assassins of Acrobatic Ahsoka chose that ring for Ethan; but the ring has chosen you Grimtug.  It will not leave your finger until it serves its purpose and this match comes to an end one way or another".

  "The Ring chose you Grimtug"........  Are the words that keep going in and out of the Orc's mind as they all exit the cave as a unit and the battle begins.....

Both of the two team leaders, Jedi Master Luke and God Emperor Leto rush to the forefront of their squads and lead by example into the fray.  Similar feelings rush through their heads as they begin the charge.  Bittersweet reminiscing is brought into the forefront of their inter-laid thoughts as they move through the dunes of Tatooine at super human speeds.  The two leaders avoid each other; but by no means do they stay away from tough opponents.  The God Emperor senses a vision of a Golden Path similar and almost equal in depth to that of his own deep within the black lantern coated mind of Dr. Manhattan.  The Emperor of the Known Universe must possess all or he possesses nothing when it comes to the knowledge of the universe.  The massive form of Leto leaps from the dunes and swallows Manhattan whole, consuming not just the man but the knowledge as well.  Grand Master Luke rushes in towards the person he senses to be the best melee fighter amongst the TEAMmembers.  Mike Geney ignites his lightsaber with his homeboy Hammer Bros. #5 on his six.  Luke rolls through the two of them quickly and finds himself face to face with another combatant.  "I think you were looking for me Bub".  Wolverine says as he pops his claws with "snikt".  Skywalker uses his gift of prescient foresight to gaze into the scary mind of his opponent and asks him the simple question:  "Shall I call you Logan, Weapon X"??  "No.  WOLVERINE" Wolvie screams as he begins his beserker rage attack on the Jedi Master.  A pitched battle commences where Luke is doubly surprised to see that his lightsaber will not cut through the adamantium claws of Logan, nor were the body hits proving fatal.  The fight rages on for quite some time  before Wolverine goes in for the kill attempting to slice deep into the chest of Luke; but the Jedi uses his superior speed to flip over top of the mutant, landing in the perfect spot to swing his saber at the neck and remove Wolverine of his head.  Luke Force pushes the body and the head far away from each other just in case so as not to risk a healing factor rejoining of the two.

 Morg takes flight and attempts to attack the two larger Geonosian Starfighters which are running a Delta attack pattern in search of sky-worthy TEAMmembers.  The Geonosians begin unloading weaponry onto the former Herald of Galactus; but they find they are doing very little damage.  Morg lands back on the ground and takes on a defensive position, when Luke orders Threepio to radio up to the Geonosians ordering them to eject before their ships take more damage and they can't.  They come back over the radio in their foreign tongue, causing Skywalker to yell at his droid:  "You know I don't speak Geonosian Threepio, WHAT DID THEY SAY"??  Threepio retorts:  "I am afraid Master Luke that they will not be following your order".  "They can't take that guy alone.  WHAT DID THEY SAY"??  The Jedi Master asks again.  "They said sir Luke, the only thing that can hurt that guy in these ships is these ships.....  VIVA Assassins".  Just as Threepio's translation comes through, R2 begins making noise to show his friends that their Geonosian Allies have gone full kamikaze, crashing their ships directly into Morg, causing the Cosmic powerhouse to join them in death.  

 John Stewart already had a mastery of green lantern usage, before he was gifted his blue lantern ring in addition.  With this knowledge he has optimized the power by using the blue ring simply for defensive aura protection and flight, while the blue ring automatically powers up the green ring to 200%.  That is now 200% ring power that he can use as sheer raw energy.  John flies in fast, with his fellow Assassin The Sentry alongside him, when they are met by Neo and Non.  Many wonder if The Sentry with his incalculable strength and power set could possibly take a Kryptonian such as Superman in a one on one fight.  Maybe his upcoming fight with Non will help answer that.  As the two special needs powerhouses square off, we know that Non may not be Superman's equal in all things; but when it comes to strength and durability he is.  Non is able to withstand the flurry of attacks from The Sentry and then with a well aimed brutal hand clap to the head, stuns the Sentry and opens him up to vicious neck breaking assault.  John Stewart is in the beginning stages of his battle with Neo, when he turns his attention to who he believes is the strongest combatant before him.  Stewart unleashes the full power of his green ring on the Kryptonian brute, leaving nothing but a skeleton in his wake.  But Neo does not let that move go unpunished.  He hits Stewart with a flurry of Kung Fu moves that leave both Stewart's rings and his body shattered.  

Adam Hernandez leads his Clan Quartet through the air on their jetpacks, when they drop a handful of thermal detonators over R2 and 3PO turning them into spare parts.  

Henry Jones Jr. & Sr. are taken off guard by the quick moving Jet Li, who knocks them both to the ground.  Jet flips forward delivering a series of moves that result in a broken back and neck of the elderly Henry Jones.  Jet then flips backwards with Indy's stolen whip in his hand.  "You might need this if you want to fight me"  Li exclaims to Jones who is still on the ground.  "Or not".  Indy replies as he pulls out his revolver and plants two .45 Long Colts in Jet Li's chest.  

Ahsoka and Rex move in quickly towards General Grevious; but his two Magnaguard Protectors jump out in front of him.  Rex lays down a suppressing fire on the droids while Ahsoka ignites her dual white sabers and moves in towards Grevious.  Her two lightsabers clash with the General's four as the guards once again leap in and disrupt the skirmish.  Grevious backs off, while Ahsoka slashes one of the guards in half, the other droid moves in to fill the slot, but Rex blasts the droid with a plethora of perfectly aimed shots from his twin blaster pistols.  Grevious then knocks Ahsoka to the ground, while she cuts off one of his arm appendages.  Grevious then moves back towards Capt. Rex delivering a swift metal kick to the heart of the Clone Officer.  Ahsoka sacrifices her two sabers by throwing them at Grevious in an attempt to save Rex; but the wounds were already fatal.  She lay there weaponless as the damaged Grevious moves towards Fulcrum; but Rex with his dying breath tosses his Commander his pistol which Ahsoka catches and uses to blast Grevious in the heart uncivilized Kenobi style.  

George Lucas in his advanced age is having a little trouble with the heavy backpack style of The Force Saber; but is definitely enjoying the power it wields.  He and the teenage Leto II move in towards the two Orcs to do battle; but Ethan Hunt joins the skirmish as well.  Lucas swings his lightsaber with a Form 5 style but Mornack and Grimtug are much more concerned with the swift moving Leto II who moves about the desert with flawless precision.  Leto pulls his crysknife; but before he can use it, Ethan leaps into the fray and kicks it from his hand.  The heir to the throne of Arrakis goes blow for blow with Ethan Hunt for a few rounds; but is able to slit the throat of the IMF Agent before he disappears back into the dunes.  The two orcs dispatch George Lucas before approaching Ethan Hunt saying:  "You save us.  Why you risk yourself for save of two Orcs"??  Hunt answers with his dying breath  "That's what friends are for Mornack and don't forget Grimtug....  The.  Ring.  Chose.  You.".........

With the long and bloody Round One coming to an end, the remaining members of both squads form up and prepare for the final showdown that will bring this match to a close.  

God Emperor Leto II leaps from the dunes and crushes Dr. Jones who realized quickly that whips and six shooters would not be of use here.  Luke does his best to hold back anger as he sees his squad member who looks amazingly like his brother in law go down, while he is being attacked by the much younger version of that worm.  Leto II has incredible foot work in the sand; but the Jedi Master born and raised here on Tatooine moves even faster.  Leto lunges at Luke with his Crysknife but finds a green lightsaber in his chest before he can land his killing blow.  

Ahsoka moves in towards the Mandalorian Clan and is more than a match for them despite their near perfect, in unison fighting style.  It is at this moment, that Neo realizes he must take control of this battle and truly serve his purpose as The Chosen One.  He attempts to join the fight and tip the scales against Ahsoka.  Mornack and Grimtug rush to help the namesake of their team that they have pledged their lives and Orkish honor to fight and die for.  Ahsoka stabs Eric with a lightsaber through the chest that fails to hit his heart, but will seemingly be a killing blow.  Neo delivers a head removing kick to Mornack that sends him to the Graveyard; but moves towards Grimtug:  who initially covers his face in fear; but regains composure and says to himself "the ring chose me" before he throws his Indigo powered scimitar in the direction of Neo, stabbing him through the heart and killing the Chosen One.  Adam then hits Grimtug with his wrist mounted rocket to finally send Orc #50 to the Graveyard, and then instantly finds himself on the other side of vengeance as Ahsoka removes his head with her right hand white lightsaber.  Kate sees what must be done as she presses some buttons on her own suit that activates Jackson's jetpack without his knowledge shooting him quite a ways from the skirmish before she grabs a hold of Ahsoka and ignites her own thermal detonators.  

GM Luke and GE Leto stare one another down as this brutal battle comes to a close.  Who is the true master of this Desert is the unanswerable thought going through their complex hyper-sentient minds as the Grand Master of the Jedi and the God Emperor of the Known Universe reach a mental and cosmic impass becoming one with The Force and one with The Golden Path directly in each other's presence.

Eric Gilson lay on the ground, counting his final breaths as his Mandalorian Armor no longer protects him from imminent death.  His young nephew Jackson flies over and lands next to his uncle who says:  "We are warriors.  Mourn not for the deaths of today for next week we have another battle of equal importance and the next week and the next week.  Fight on.  Never stop.  Fighting.  Never".  

As he fades from this realm, Jackson nods his miniature helmet and simply says:  "This is the Way".
