The Desert be dry af 

The endless stretch of the desert shimmered under the scorching sun, the ground cracked and dry beneath the weight of impending conflict. A dusty wind swept through the barren landscape, carrying with it the scent of an ancient battle about to unfold.  The two teams were separated by the endless desert, but an invisible barrier held them at bay until the moment of battle arrived. It was a test of power, skill, and strategy. Neither side would give up.

The battle began 

The Underhills sprang into action immediately. Ikaris shot into the sky, a comet of blazing energy, while Gilgamesh, with his unyielding strength, rushed forward to meet the enemy head-on. Thena and Ajak flanked him, their weapons glowing with celestial energy. Sprite, always quick, used her illusions to mislead the enemy, making it nearly impossible for them to know where the real threats were.

Zod’s cold voice cut through the chaos. "Kneel before me!" he commanded, his Kryptonian powers surging as he fired heat vision across the battlefield, scorching the desert sands and turning them into glass.

Neo, with both blue lightsabers in hand, moved with supernatural speed. The two blades sliced through the air, meeting any challenge that came their way. His mind raced as he read the movements of his opponents, dodging strikes from the enemies and countering with precision.

Meanwhile, The Redskins did not hesitate. X-23’s claws were out, and with a savage roar, she sprinted toward The Underhills. Her ferocity was unmatched, a blur of rage and power. Wolverine, as a Black Lantern, rose from the shadows with all the strength and rage of his former self, only now fueled by a dark, otherworldly force. His adamantium claws slashed at anything that dared approach, tearing through the very air itself.

Chuck Norris, with his unbreakable will and unmatched fighting skills, moved with deliberate calm strikes. The Dark Saber in his hand hummed ominously as he squared off against Zod, his eyes never leaving the Kryptonian. The two exchanged brutal strikes, the Dark Saber meeting Zod’s invulnerable skin, while Chuck’s katana danced through the air with a mastery only he could achieve. 

Colossus, towering and unmovable, joined the fray with his massive fists. He crashed into the side of Gilgamesh, sending shockwaves through the air as they collided, both heroes grinning at the challenge. Colossus' steel form took blow after blow, but he was indomitable.  Taking down an Eternal himself.

Power Girl, her eyes burning with the might of a Kryptonian, engaged Ikaris in a furious aerial duel. The two soared through the sky, clashing with such force that the desert trembled beneath them. Power Girl’s blows were enough to shatter mountains, but Ikaris responded with blasts of his own energy, the light from his attacks illuminating the entire desert and inevitably killing Powergirl with the reinforcements of the remaining eternals.  With the strength of PowerGirl, she left all but a few of the eternals to live.

Cable, the tactician, stayed on the ground, calculating his next move. His cybernetic eye locked onto Phastos, analyzing his patterns and weaknesses. Phastos, with his incredible intellect and technological prowess, wasn’t easily outmatched, but Cable’s experience in combat was vast, and he never underestimated his enemies.  Thus allowing for a calculated attack against Phastos and Kingo.

Professor X remained calm, a steady presence on the battlefield. His telepathic powers spread across the desert, searching for weaknesses, controlling the minds of those who dared to make eye contact. With a mental push, he attempted to incapacitate Sprite, whose illusions faltered under the weight of his psychic assault. But Sprite, determined as ever, snapped back to reality and used her illusions to escape.  But it the end it was to late for sprite as Chuck Norris sliced through the air with pure bliss ended the life of Sprite.

As the fight raged on, the desert became a warzone of epic proportions. Thena’s celestial weapons met Colossus' indestructible steel, while Zod and Chuck Norris exchanged strikes that shook the very earth. Neo’s two lightsabers clashed with Wolverine’s claws, sparks flying in every direction as the two warriors engaged in a dazzling duel ending with Neo on top. (Ayo)

In the midst of the chaos, Ajak and Professor X locked eyes. Through the telepathic link, Ajak could feel the immense power within the professor’s mind, but she was no stranger to such battles. She reached into the ether and unleashed her own mental attack, pushing against the limits of Professor X's telepathy. Their minds collided in a psychic storm that shook the very desert sands beneath them.  Ultimately leaving them both with a disoriented reality that would eventually kill them both.

The battle continued for hours, the combatants unable to find an advantage. Neither side would give in, each warrior pushing the limits of their power, fighting for victory, for survival. The sun began to set, casting an eerie orange glow over the war-torn landscape. It was clear that this battle would have no easy victor.

But as the last light of the day faded, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble, the desert itself stirring as if something ancient and powerful had awakened…….

Space and shit

Without warning, the battle erupted. Starkiller's Batwing shot through the void like a streak of light, unleashing a barrage of missiles and blaster fire at Star Wolf's V-wing. The V-wing weaved through the attacks with precision, Star Wolf's fingers a blur as she maneuvered the ship with expert skill. A missile grazed her wing, but she managed to twist her fighter out of the blast radius, countering with a barrage of her own.

Meanwhile, General Zod's eyes gleamed with fury as he soared through the atmosphere on a personal warpath, targeting the Black Lantern Omega Supreme. The corrupted machine towered above the battlefield, its massive, glowing eyes fixed on him. Zod’s fists crackled with energy as he zoomed toward Omega Supreme, hurling a barrage of heat vision. The black energy surrounding Omega Supreme absorbed the attacks, but Zod, unrelenting, followed up with a crushing punch to its metallic face, creating a shockwave that rippled through the atmosphere.

Mogo, from the distance, unleashed the full power of its Green Lantern core. Massive amounts of light shot toward the Heavy Star Cruiser, wrapping around the ship, constraining it in a deadly web of energy. The Oceans 11 crew, led by Danny Ocean, quickly coordinated their efforts to fight back. Rusty Ryan hacked into the cruiser’s systems to release a wave of EMP pulses, temporarily disabling the tractor beams holding them in place. Wit a flick of his wrist, Ocean and his crew began executing their meticulously planned heists within the cruiser, even as the battle raged outside.

But it was Darth Plagueis who took center stage as the true mastermind. With a sinister laugh, the Sith Lord extended his arms, manipulating the dark side of the Force to rip apart the fabric of space itself. Using his knowledge of the Sith, he began to raise black tendrils of energy, attempting to drain the life force of those around him. John Stewart and Kyle Rayner, both seasoned Lanterns, immediately reacted, forming barriers of green and white light to shield themselves from the oncoming wave of dark power.

"Fool," Plagueis sneered, "you think your light can protect you from true darkness?"

But Stewart's voice was firm, "We don't just wield light. We are the light."

Together, the two Lanterns released a counterforce of light so intense that the dark tendrils splintered like glass before being torn apart by a pulse of pure, focused energy.  

Supergirl, watching from a distance, knew the tide of battle would turn in her favor if she took down Plagueis. With a surge of speed, she flew directly at him, her eyes glowing with solar energy. Plagueis raised his hands, summoning the dark side to strike her down, but he was unprepared for the sheer force of Supergirl’s power. In a violent clash, her punch collided with his defenses, sending Plagueis tumbling backward through the air. His Force choke was nothing against the unstoppable strength of the Kryptonian.

But Star Wolf would not let her succeed. The skilled pilot fired a shot from her V-wing at Supergirl, catching her off guard. Supergirl twisted midair, narrowly dodging the blast, but the sudden interference gave Plagueis enough time to recover. The Sith Lord grinned, drawing on his dark power once more.  Using it to snuff the light of the two lanterns.

Elsewhere, Zod continued his battle with Omega Supreme, his heat vision clashing with the Black Lantern energy. But it wasn’t just Zod who had his sights set on the giant—Starkiller, using his Batwing's advanced weaponry, fired a high-powered pulse, cracking the Black Lantern’s armored skin. The two combined forces were enough to weaken Omega Supreme, causing it to stagger, but not enough to destroy it entirely.

In the distance, Mogo, with a massive voice like the rumbling of thunder, sent shockwaves of Green Lantern energy into the skies, calling for reinforcements. The energy created a force that pushed against the forces of darkness, shaking the very atmosphere. The oceans of the Heavy Star Cruiser began to surge with energy as the Oceans 11 crew began to gain the upper hand, hacking systems, and using the ship's own weaponry against them.

The tides of the battle were shifting. The Underhills were gaining momentum, but it was far from over. Supergirl, with her strength restored, made a final, decisive move. She broke through the defenses of Darth Plagueis, crashing down on him with a devastating punch. The Sith Lord’s scream echoed through the battlefield, and his dark power was no match for the overwhelming force of Supergirl’s might.

At the same time, Starkiller and Zod combined their forces in a final, overwhelming strike. Starkiller unleashed a devastating series of lightning strikes from his lightsaber, and Zod hammered Omega Supreme with heat vision, making the colossal Black Lantern robot falter and fall to the ground in a massive explosion.

With their leaders defeated and their forces scattered, The Redskins began to retreat. The Oceans 11 crew, though brilliant, realized that they had no chance of winning against such overwhelming cosmic power. They fled back into the Heavy Star Cruiser, leaving the battlefield behind.  Only to catch a stray to have their ship and everyone on board die.

Wet ass water

The two teams finally met in the ancient coliseum at the heart of Atlantis. A place that once held grand games, now reduced to a battleground for the forces that would fight for control of the city’s secrets. The air was thick with tension, the weight of Atlantis’ ancient power pressing down on the warriors.

Without warning, Black Manta raised his halberd and launched a bolt of energy toward the Sando Aqua Monster. The beast roared in anger as it swiped its claws at the projectile, sending shockwaves through the water. The ground shook as the creature lunged forward, its powerful limbs propelling it through the water with astonishing speed.

Mera and Namora squared off against Aspen and Abe Sapien. Mera's control over the water surged, creating a tidal wave that crashed toward Aspen, only for the elemental to deflect it with a surge of her own powers. Her control over water was immense, but Mera’s anger and ferocity matched her own.

Abe Sapien, his ancient knowledge of the ocean depths making him a skilled tactician, lunged at Namora. They traded blows, their skills evenly matched, as their weapons clashed with a loud crack. Percy Jackson appeared at the side of the battle, swinging his sword, Riptide, in a deadly arc at the Black Lantern Ventress. His blade barely made a mark on her, as she deflected it with ease, the dark energy of her lantern flaring with each strike.

“You’ll need more than a simple sword to defeat me,” she sneered, her voice dripping with malice.

Percy gritted his teeth. “I’ve got more tricks up my sleeve.”

Above them, Namor watched the chaos unfold. With a growl, he dove into the battle, his powerful legs propelling him through the water at an impossible speed. His fists struck with the force of a tidal wave, knocking opponents aside with ease.

But it was the Heart of Atlantis that pulsed at the center of it all, its ancient power resonating through the water. It could heal the world, or it could bring about its doom.

In the heat of the battle, the ground suddenly trembled as the Heart’s power began to stir. Each team knew that this was the moment—the moment that would determine whether Atlantis would rise once again, or if it would sink into the ocean’s depths forever.

In a final desperate push, Mera and Namora joined forces against Aspen, their powers flowing together in a spectacular display of water manipulation. They lashed out, creating walls of water and torrents that nearly overwhelmed the elemental. But just as Aspen was about to yield, the ground cracked beneath them.

A wave of energy radiated from the Heart of Atlantis, sending shockwaves that sent everyone sprawling. The city began to shake violently, and it became clear that Atlantis itself was awakening, reacting to the chaos.

"Seize it!" Namor shouted, but it was too late.

As the dust settled, all that remained was the aftermath. Atlantis’ power had been unleashed, but its outcome was uncertain. A new battle would soon begin—the battle not for control of Atlantis, but for control over what had been unleashed.

Big City Tings

The city of Detroit was a battleground. Once a bustling metropolis, now reduced to ruin by countless clashes between unimaginable forces. The air crackled with tension as two mighty teams stood on opposite sides of the fallen skyline, each determined to claim victory in a battle that would decide the fate of the Earth

A deafening silence fell across the battleground as both teams locked eyes. Time seemed to stretch as the first move was made.

Zod charged forward, his heat vision cutting through the air, but Yoda was faster, leaping out of the way with unnatural agility, the dwarf ring shimmering around him as he gripped it with a determined look. From above, Phoenix unleashed a torrent of fire and telekinetic power, but Dakken was ready, his dark energy absorbing the flames, redirecting them toward Supergirl.

Spider-Man shot webs, trying to ensnare Shatterstar and X-23, but the duo was too quick, slashing through the strands with expert precision. X-23 lunged at Spider-Man, her claws outstretched, but Shadowcat phased just in time, causing X-23 to strike nothing but air.

On the far side of the battlefield, The Hulk smashed through a building, his thunderous roar shaking the ground as he charged Colossus. The two titans collided with a resounding crash, steel meeting raw muscle. Colossus grunted in pain but stood firm, his metallic form able to withstand the Hulk's blows. With a sudden spin, Hulk grabbed a nearby wrecked car and swung it like a bat, knocking Colossus off his feet.

Meanwhile, Meggan and Polaris clashed, their magnetic powers sparking in the air. Meggan's energy-wielding form lashed out with tendrils of pure magic, while Polaris tried to crush her under a hail of metal debris. Nightcrawler teleported between Psylocke and Lockheed, disorienting the psychic warrior with rapid shifts in position, while Lockheed let loose a fiery breath at the same moment.

In the midst of the chaos, Revan Reborn reached into the Force, calling upon its power to create an impenetrable shield that deflected blasts from Asajj Ventress. The dark acolyte smirked, her dual lightsabers spinning at blinding speed, but Nightcrawler blinked to her side and struck with his sword, narrowly missing her as she danced away.

Mogo, ever the strategist, reshaped the terrain beneath the battlefield. Massive earth-shaking quakes tore through the ground, creating fissures that swallowed buildings and swallowed combatants whole. Cable was the first to react, teleporting out of a falling structure with his advanced tech, while Scar took advantage of the shifting landscape to launch a deadly ambush.

At the center of it all, Captain Britain and Chuck Norris locked eyes. Their reputations preceded them — two forces of nature, each with the power to shape the world. Captain Britain summoned the full extent of his mystical powers, light radiating from his body as he threw a punch that could shatter mountains. Chuck Norris, however, simply side-stepped, his hand coming down with a powerful strike that sent shockwaves across the battlefield, knocking Captain Britain back.

The battle raged on for what felt like hours. Kylun, drawing on ancient martial techniques, fended off Shatterstar, their blades clashing in a flurry of precision. Lockheed and Polaris engaged in an aerial duel, the dragon's fiery breath clashing against Polaris's magnetic fields.

As the smoke and chaos thickened, the battlefield began to thin. The Underhills had fewer members standing, their strength waning as the might of The Redskins pushed forward.

Revan Reborn stood with his lightsaber ignited, facing Yoda in the final clash. Both warriors were champions of their respective causes, their powers limitless in different ways. Yoda raised his hand, summoning the dwarf ring's power to create a protective barrier, but Revan was ready, using his mastery over the Force to bypass it, delivering a strike that left Yoda staggering.

In the end, only a handful of warriors remained. Zod, Supergirl, Hulk, and Phoenix fought valiantly, but it was clear that they could not stand against the dark tide of The Redskins.

As the last blow was struck, with Phoenix disintegrating into nothingness under the combined attack of Black Lantern Asajj Ventress and Yoda, The Redskins stood victorious in the city. Their forces had dwindled as well, but the battle was theirs. Yoda, his eyes weary, looked out over the destroyed city.

“We have won, but the price was steep,” he whispered.

Trees and Shit

In the heart of an ancient forest, where the trees whispered secrets from the dawn of time, a cosmic disturbance rips through the fabric of reality. Forces from across multiple universes converge upon this forest, summoned by the mysterious power of an ancient artifact hidden deep within the trees. Two mighty teams stand on opposite sides of the forest, both seeking the artifact's power for their own reasons.

The battle is set. Only one team will claim the power of the forest and reshape the fate of their worlds.

As both teams march into the forest clearing, the air crackles with tension. The ancient trees sway as if sensing the imminent conflict. The artifact lies deep within the forest, a glowing orb of immense power, surrounded by an aura of magic and technology.

The underhills make their approach with Zod leading the charge, his sheer presence warping the very air around him. Neo and the two Blue Wizards move in a protective formation around Sauron, who clutches the One Ring tightly, its dark influence seeping into his very soul. Arwen, Samwise, and Miguel flank their allies, ready for whatever challenges the forest may present. Uncle Iroh’s calm demeanor remains unshaken. Thena’s weapon is ready, the light of her cosmic energy shining through the trees as she takes her place at the front.

The Redskins countered, with Yoda standing firmly at the helm, the Dwarf Ring upon his finger pulsing with ancient power. Black Lantern Larfleeze and Asajj Ventress snicker with dark delight, sensing the death and destruction they can bring. Indigo-1 and Saint Walker stand firm, their lantern rings shimmering with compassion and hope, while Star Sapphire and Sodom Yat exchange quick, knowing glances. Chuck Norris tightens his grip on his katana, his focus laser-sharp. Polaris hovers near the rear, her magnetic powers causing the air to hum with energy, while Tommy Oliver prepares to summon the power of the Morphing Grid at a moment’s notice.

The battle erupts like a thunderstorm. Zod charges at Yoda, his strength and speed unmatched, but Yoda's mastery of the Force deflects his attacks with ease. Neo squares off against Larfleeze, the two locking in a battle of willpower as the blue lightsabers clash against the greed-driven energy of the orange ring.

Arwen Evenstar gracefully fights alongside Starman, her blade dancing through the air while he unleashes cosmic energy blasts. Miguel O'Hara swings through the trees, webbing up opponents with ease, while Radaghast uses his green lantern ring to bend the forest to his will, ensnaring enemies with thorny vines killing Yaddle and Haldir.

Meanwhile, Abomination rampages through the enemy lines, but is met head-on by Tommy Oliver, who summons his Dragonzord in a massive burst of energy. Thena engages Polaris, the two women battling with unparalleled strength and determination, while Starkiller brings the full fury of the Force down upon Romat-Ru, sending waves of destructive energy through the forest.

In the distance, Uncle Iroh and Indigo-1 exchange words, their battle quiet yet intense. The green light of the rings intertwines as they try to overpower one another’s wills.

As the battle rages on, the true power of the forest begins to awaken, its ancient energy threatening to consume everyone, forcing both teams to face not only each other but the very environment around them. The question is no longer who will claim the artifact, but whether any of them can survive the forces they’ve unleashed.

In the heart of the battle, Sauron and Yoda face off, their eyes locked. Sauron’s malevolent power meets Yoda’s wisdom and mastery of the Force. With a final, powerful move, Sauron attempts to unleash the One Ring’s dark power—but Yoda, with the Dwarf Ring, counters the dark influence, turning the artifact's power against its master.

The forest erupts in light and shadow as both teams battle furiously for control of the artifact, their wills and powers pushing the boundaries of reality itself.

Zod charged forward, using his strength and invulnerability to close the distance between himself and Chuck Norris. But Chuck Norris, his katana gleaming, effortlessly parried the oncoming blows. With a single spin, he unleashed the fury of the Dark Saber, forcing Zod back with its overwhelming dark energy. Zod grunted in frustration, but before he could retaliate, Starkiller intervened, drawing on his dark side power. The force of his saber strikes sent Norris stumbling back, but Chuck Norris remained unscathed, his martial arts expertise allowing him to flow like water.

Meanwhile, Radaghast and Larfleeze fought fiercely, their rings emitting light and darkness, respectively. Radaghast's green energy clashed against Larfleeze’s insatiable greed, as the two powerhouses exchanged blasts of emerald and black light. But Miguel O'Hara, sensing an opportunity, joined the fray, using his Green Lantern ring to bolster Radaghast’s defenses, overwhelming Larfleeze with a surge of energy.

Thena and Tommy Oliver clashed fiercely, her divine might meeting his relentless warrior spirit. Her golden weapon collided with his Dragon Dagger in a dazzling explosion of sparks. Tommy tapped into his Green Ranger power, but Thena’s unyielding strength and precision eventually overwhelmed him, sending him flying back into the trees.

In the thick of the battle, Indigo 1, using her compassionate energy, tried to disarm Arwen Evenstar, but Starman intervened, unleashing cosmic energy that pushed the Indigo Lantern back. Meanwhile, Balin and Samwise Gamgee found themselves locked in a fierce skirmish, the dwarf’s axe clashing against the blue light of Sam’s Lantern ring. Sam’s heart, full of hope, kept him going, but Balin's experience and ferocity proved too much, striking Sam down before he could rally.

Across the battlefield, Uncle Iroh and Saint Walker exchanged words of wisdom, their rings glowing with serene power. But as the battle raged on, Uncle Iroh’s calm demeanor was tested by the explosive power of Quasar and the dark energy of Black Lantern Asajj Ventress. With a final burst of cosmic energy, Quasar overwhelmed the wise old man, his form crumpling to the ground, but not without imparting a final word of wisdom to Saint Walker, who grieved the loss of his ally.

As the battle drew to a close, the final clash between Thena and Yoda shook the forest. Yoda, with his Dwarf Ring, leapt gracefully, his green lightsaber flashing against Thena’s golden blade. With an elegant twist, Yoda disarmed Thena, sending her weapon flying. However, in the moment of victory, Thena reached out with her strength, unleashing a final blow that sent Yoda hurtling into a massive oak tree.

The battlefield fell silent, and only one warrior remained standing. Thena, exhausted, bloodied, and battered, looked around the battlefield at the fallen heroes. She raised her weapon high, her golden aura glowing as she stood alone.

She was the last one left. The only survivor.

Space

Washington Redskins: Sinestro, Black Lantern Larfleeze, Indigo One, Monk, Saint Walker, Dex-Tar, Scar #19-20, OA Guardian #1-2,Asajj Ventress in Jedi Starfighter, Star Wolf in B-Wing

Sigmas: Han Solo in Geo Starfighter

We begin this match in space and unfortunately it’s extremely one sided. 

Han Solo does his best to put up a fight, but it of course wasn’t enough. His flight skills keep him alive longer than expected and he’s even able to take out the Scar’s, Star Sapphire #1, Star Wolf, Dex-Tar and the OA Guardians but eventually Sinestro takes out Han’s ship with a blast from his Lantern Ring. 

The remaining members of the Washington Football Team will join the rest of their teammates on the Playoff Planet. 

City

Washington Redskins: Yoda w/ Dwarf Ring, Professor X, Power Girl, Wolverine, X-23, Colossus, Cable, Quasar, Daken, Thufir Hawet, Dobby and Wicket in a Land Speeder and the OG Arc Trooper Squad

Sigmas: Proxima Midnight, Black Dwarf, Corvus Glaive, Super Giant, Mr. Sinister, Darkhawk, Morpheus, Lord Zedd, Goldar, Titanus, Bane, Deadshot, Ki Adi Mundi, Qui Gon Jinn & Huntress

We start this match with the Sigmas set up in a defensive position at the biggest skyscraper on Playoff Planet.

The Black Order & Mr. Sinister have set up base in the penthouse of the skyscraper. Deadshot is set up on the roof with his sniper rifle. Darkhawk is patrolling the skies. While the rest of the Sigmas are set up at the base of the skyscraper.

The Washington Commanders are posted up a couple blocks away to set up their offensive plan of attack. Yoda and Professor X are huddled up with Thufir Hawet to come up with a plan of attack. Once they finish their plan of attack they break their huddle and Professor X gives the orders to the rest of the team.

The OG Arc Trooper Squad lead the attack with the Arc Trooper Captain in the Batmobile, 2 Arc Trooper Lieutenants in the Dodge Viper and the Arc Trooper Heavy Weapons Expert and the 5 Arc Troopers with the rest of the Redskins in the Travel Bus. Darkhawk flies down to attack the Commanders but gets absolutely blind sided by Power Girl. Power Girl hit Darkhawk from the side at Mach 1 speed. She continued their momentum and tackled him through multiple skyscrapers and then ripped his body in half.

While Power Girl is dealing with Darkhawk, Deadshot uses his expertise shooting skills to help defend the Sigmas. Deadshot shoots Dobby in the Landspeeder causing the Landspeeder to lose control and crash into a building and explode. Deadshot then shoots the tire of the Travel Bus causing it to flip. Thufir Hawet dies in the crash while the rest of the Commanders in the bus are just minorly bruised and battered.

The rest of the Sigmas that are posted up at the bottom of the skyscraper go on the offensive and attack the Redskins. 

Arc Trooper Captain is driving head on towards Goldar with the Batmobile. Goldar gets in a defensive position ready to play the game of chicken. But the Batmobile is not slowing down, in fact it's even picking up speed towards the Power Ranger villain. Goldar is visibly nervous but stands his ground. Just as the Batmobile is about to hit Goldar. The Arc Trooper Captain ejects out of the seat and the unmanned Batmobile crashes into Goldar, killing him in a fiery explosion.

The OG Arc Troopers meet up and the Captain gives his orders to his squad using his hand signals. They shoot harpoon guns to the top of the skyscraper and begin the long ascent to the top. 

Huntress uses her crossbow to shoot X-23 through the chest thinking she just killed the girl. But instead this only enrages Laura Kinney, she rips the arrow out of her chest, licks the blood off the arrow and charges the Huntress. Huntress keeps shooting arrows at X-23 but they don’t slow her down. X-23 jumps on Huntress with her claws out and stabs her multiple times in the chest.

Wolverine and Daken team up with X-23 to create a trio team of clawed mutants. They start running towards the lobby doors of the skyscraper but Ki Adi Mundi and Qui Gon Jinn jump in front of them and draw their lightsabers to attack. Dakenn charges Qui Gon while Wolverine and X-23 team up against Ki Adi Mundi. The aggressive style of Qui Gon’s Form IV lightsaber stance made for a great fight against the aggressive fighting style of Daken. Eventually Qui Gon is able to stab Daken through the chest but Daken just responds with a smile and pulls Qui Gon closer to him by grabbing the handle of his saber. Qui Gon pulls the saber out of Daken’s chest and cuts his head off in one fell swoop. Kinda like how Aragorn kills Lurtz in Fellowship. Ki Adi Mundi also has the Form IV fighting stance but is not able to hold his own against X-23 and Wolverine. Wolverine and Laura Kinney then turn around and do the same to Qui Gon, avenging their mutant teammate. 

While Wolverine and X-23 were handling the jedi, their mutant teammate Colossus (Natty) was having a hell of a strongman fight against the steroid using Bane. Colossus was able to eventually defeat Bane as Bane was not able to do any real damage against the steel clad mutant. 

After finishing off Darkhawk, Power Girl joins back with the rest of her team and teams up with Cable and Quasar to attack TItanus. Quasar uses the energy blasts from his Quantum bands to damage the legs of Titanus while Power Girl uses her heat vision to slowly melt into his abdomen. Once Titanus’ abdomen opened up, Cable threw two grenades inside of Titanus blowing the brachiosaurus shaped robot from the inside.

Cable and Quasar then change their focus on Morpheus and Lord Zedd, but just as Cable is about to charge he gets his head blown off by a sniper shot from Deadshot. Quasar, visibly shaken, but still charges Morpheus and is able to take him out with ease using his Quantum Bands. He then turns around and does the same to Lord Zedd. 

Proxima Midnight looks down and sees how outnumbered the Sigmas are after the Redskins took out their street level defense rather unscathed. Proxima takes a deep breath and calls out an order to Corvus Glaive “Corvus, call in Little Boy. We are too outnumbered to win this battle. But the Sigmas can still win the war.” Corvus nods his head and says in a somber voice “Yes sir.” Suddenly the elevator door rings and Wolverine, X-23, Quasar, Colossus, Professor X and Yoda charge out of the elevator. Then the windows opposite of the Elevator explode and the Arc Trooper Squad jumps in and immediately starts blasting. The Sigmas are heavily pinned down but try their best to hold their own. Corvus Glaive was taken out by a rocket blast from the Heavy Weapons Expert Arc Trooper. But just as the Redskins from the elevator were about to reach the remaining Sigmas, Little Boy was dropped on the city. Many minutes later after the dust settles from the nuke, all that remained was Power Girl, Wolverine, X-23 and Colossus.

It may take them a little while to fully recover but they will join the rest of their team in the Forest.

Forest

Alright Folks, this is it. Whoever’s left standing at the end of this gets to go the granddaddy of them all. The FANTASY FANTASY LEAGUE UNIVERSE BOWL!!!

The Sigmas have set up camp on the beach of a small lake surrounded by the trees of the forest. If you were to look at the forest from space, the lake would stick out like a black dot on a blank piece of paper. 

The Washington Football Team knows the location of the Sigmas as Asajj Ventress was able to locate them from her Jedi starfighter. Wolverine has instructed the Redskins to split up into four groups to attack the Sigmas simultaneously. One group will attack from the front, two groups will attack from the left and right flank of the beach and then the last group which consists of Namor, The Sando Aqua Monster and Aspen are hiding in the lake and will attack from there. The three groups on land are set up in the trees just out of sight from the beach and are patiently awaiting the signal. 

We now shift our focus to Asajj who is currently coasting around in the mesospheric atmosphere of the planet. She gets a call from Wolverine “Asajj, nose dive the enemy and attack them with your blasters from your starfighter. That will be the signal for the rest of us to attack.” Asajj responds “Yes sir, will do.” Asajj then begins her nose dive from the heights of the mesosphere. She is rapidly picking up speed and the starfighter is beginning to set on fire once she gets into the Troposphere she shoots blasts from her starfighter and then instead of pulling up she ejects out of the ship into the lake at the last second and lets the unmanned ship crash into the Sigmas camp. The ship and its blasters cause significant damage to the Sigmas team. It took out the Sardaukar, Yarael Poof, The Tree Sentinel’s, Jhin, Malenia and Aatrox.

The rest of the Redskins then attack. The Sando Aqua Monster gulps up The Blob from below as he was floating in the Lake trying to cool off from the heat. Melkor and the rest of Maiar were able to protect the rest of the Sigmas before this match got out of hand. The Maiar and the rest of the Sigmas then go on the offensive. Melkor calls down a firestorm that takes out Balin, Asajj and Chuck Norris, The Witch King takes out the Black Dragon with his Fell Beast and his sword, Tulkas uses his immense strength to rip Yaddle in half and smash Haldir, and Nessa, Varda, and the Ancient Balrog team up to attack Larfleeze. Nessa uses her speed to take Larfleeze’s Orange Lantern Ring off, then Varda uses her light abilities to blind Larfleeze which then allows the Ancient Balrog to stab Larfleeze through the back.

Namor and Aspen use their water powers to take out the fires from the firestorm that Melkor brought down.

All of a sudden this match seems to be a lot closer than it was a few minutes ago and the Sigmas are on the path to make one of the biggest comebacks in FFL history.

Wolverine, X-23, and Colossus have seen enough of this attempted comeback and have decided to put an end to it. X-23 goes on her normal screaming rampage and attacks the Elrohir brothers. She leaps onto the chest of Elros Elrohir and stabs him multiple times in the chest. Elrohir slashes her back with his sword but all this does is enrage her as she turns around and slits his throat with one of her claws. Wolverine charges the swordmaster Marth. Marth is able to parry and counter a couple of Wolverine’s attacks but in the end Wolverine’s brute strength and regenerative properties were too much and he is able to take out the swordmaster. Colossus attacks the fiery Ancient Balrog. The Balrog’s flames and sword weren’t able to do any damage to Colossus' steel clad body and he was able to defeat the ancient Maiar with ease. Just as the mutants of the Redskins thought they were stopping this comeback from the Sigmas, Tulkas rips X-23’s head clean off of her body and then he uses his god-like strength to snap the neck of Colossus. This enrages Wolverine and he goes on a rampage, running and screaming through the forest like the end of Logan. In a matter of seconds he kills Legolas and Sleepwalker. He is then even able to kill the Maiar Varda. But unfortunately his rampage was short lived as Melkor takes him out and ends his rampage. 

Romat-Ru, Saint Walker and Sodam Yat team up to try and avenge their fallen mutant brethren by attacking Tulkas but his strength was just too much as the lantern rings were not able to do more than just annoy him. Nessa comes to Tulkas' side to help him and they together are able to take out the three lantern bearers. King Manwe goes into the lake and takes out the Sando Aqua Monster as he was the bigger fish. Aspen and Namor attack Melkor using the water of the lake to help them but they are not successful as Melkor is just too powerful. Melkor grabbed Aspen by the head and melted her head using the Flame of Anor. He then turned around and punched Namor so hard that his heart exploded inside of his chest. 

As things begin to look dire for the Redskins, Power Girl and the rest of the remaining Lantern Ring bearers counter attack to attempt to prevent this impressive comeback by the Sigmas. Power Girl flies through the air, rips the wings off of the Fell Beast and snatches The Witch King off of his Fell Beast, sets him on fire using her heat vision and then drops him as he falls hundred of feet to his death. Sinestro, Indigo One & Monk use their lantern ring powers to take out Nessa and King Manwe. But their small victory does not last long as Melkor and Tulkas take out Indigo One and Monk. 

Now all that’s left standing between the two teams is Sinestro and Power Girl for the Redskins and Melkor and Tulkas for the Sigmas as they stand apart from each other ready for battle. Unfortunately for the Sigmas, Power Girl and Sinestro immediately tema up and take out Tulkas. Sinestro hits him with a blast from his White Lantern Ring while Power Girl hits him with her Heat Vision. The two beams were just too powerful for the Maiar as they caused his soul to leave his body. They go to try and do the same thing to Melkor, they are able to damage his armor but are not able to take him out. Melkor goes on the offensive and calls down a fireblast onto Sinestro but he uses his Lantern Ring to cast a shield to block the flame. Melkor uses the shield and flame as a distraction to get closer to Sinestro. Once the flames and shield dwindle away, Melkor is within inches of Sinestro and punches him in the face with a right hook strong enough to create craters in the earth. This punch smashes Sinestro’s skull to a pulp. 

Melkor then goes to try and finish off Power Girl but she is far too quick for the evil Maiar. She dodges, parries and counter attacks with ease. She hits Melkor with multiple punches to many different locations on his body. She then hits Melkor with a combo similar to a multi hit combo performed in a Street Fighter game. Blasting him with her Heat Vision where his armor was previously weakened on his chest. Then immediately hits the same location with her frost breath which causes extreme shock to Melkor’s body. She then upper cuts him into the air, flies above him and punches him down into the planet causing a small crater in the ground. Melkor is on the ground visibly weakened and very beaten. Power Girl flies up into the air and then nose dives down onto the Maiar hitting him with Heat Vision on the way down before finally punching him in the face with all of her might. Ending the evil Maiar’s life and sending the Washington Redskins to the Universe Bowl.

Is it too bold a statement to say that these two squads are the best to face off against one another in the entire history of The FFL??   Perhaps it is; but I also don't mind being the guy to make it.  

I feel like a match consisting of two squads so excellent as these should be a fantastic story, one for the ages; but I fear it will not.  No room for banter, witty quips, or toilet jokes from The Neon Master Pogo.  This match is serious; and the tone will reflect that.  

The first wave of battles takes place in the capitol city of The Playoff Planet.  A city I fear will soon be little more than a pile of rubble after these two powerhouse teams have their ways with it.  Skyscrapers and Old World Buildings fall like dominoes as the two squads converge on the concrete.   The vicious and vile Zombie Superboy moves towards Captain Britain; but The Excalibur leader evades his initial attack and manages to get the cloned, zombified Kryptonian in a headlock.  Britain can tell that the zombie is physically stronger than he; but Britain is smart and still has his wits about him.  The Captain manages to muster every bit of strength he has to crack the decaying neck of Superboy clean off his shoulders.  A salty Supergirl, dressed in a tight black outfit; being manipulated by her team leader Darkseid smirks with disgust as she sees Matrix-Supergirl wearing a uniform similar to that which she used to drip with.  She attacks the imposter, screaming about true Kryptonian power and how "she think, she cute".  Supergirl grabs Matrix by her hair and left leg, takes flight and bashes her into a nearby building until the bricks atop the spire and every bone in Matrix's body are completely shattered.  The Eradicator in another showing of sheer Kryptonian derived power takes to the air where he meets Kyle Rayner.  The Eradicator delights in challenge and waits until he sees Kyle Rayner has fully surrounded himself with a green aura shield before he unleashes his heat vision at full potency to watch it slowly burn through first the aura, then the shield, and lastly through Kyle himself.  Nekron does not seem to like the idea of a large gilded being parading around as a self-appointed Dark Lord; so he leads his trio of Black Lanterns towards Sauron who is emerging from a pile of rubble that was once a place of worship for citizens of The Playoff Planet.  Nekron moves swiftly towards Sauron; but the Lord of Mordor does not flinch as he cleaves his mace into the head of Nekron as if he were swatting a fly.  Sauron then lifts up his arm as if to reach out to the three black lanterns whom he simply absorbs into his own evil self as if they were a snack.  General Zod has taken a liking to his teammate Abomination, whose mindless destructiveness reminds him of his old friend Non after his lobotomy.  The two Underhill powerhouses mow through the four female furies with smiles on their faces stomping and lashing out against the four making them mad and bloody as Bloody Mary, Mad Harriet, Lashina, and Stompa fall to their might.  On the other side of the city, The Incredible Hulk is beginning to rage.  He sees a worthy opponent in Kalibak in the distance and they begin to do battle.  Kalibak is known to be able to take a punch from Superman; so therefore he was not killed by the first building leveling punch to the face from The Hulk.  It was the next three dozen that did it.  Banner in his large green form then used the lifeless body of Kalibak as weapon to crush the skull of his partner Desaad.  Darkseid is not happy to see some of his henchmen defeated so easily; so he decides to make a few statements of his own.  He sees the enormous mech known as Tamerlane who has come to battle in a giant oval tank form.  Darkseid, with his fully powered, stone laden Gauntlet comes down hard from the sky on the center of Tamerlane sending debris from the mech flying and stomping the brain of the Titan inside.  Meggan, with near god-like powers of her own rushes towards the freshly landed Darkseid, who glances down at his Gauntlet and smirks before deciding not to even tap into that power yet.  He shoots a glare at Meggan and then takes her out the old fashioned way with a quick omega beam blast, that continues through her body and then torches the wizard Radaghast as well before diminishing.  Kylun caught a punch to the face from The Flash that he certainly did not see coming.  He-Man rides through the three Ents atop Battle Cat with his axe in hand and cuts the three of them down as if he were slicing a trio of candles, while the unlikely team up of Shazam and Ultron combine their powers to make short work of five Maiar.  During this time Apocalypse takes a moment to dissect the four, acid blood Xenomorphs he has recently killed to be used in future experiments.

It is not simply that the city storyline is complete; but that the city itself is no more.  

Deep within the sea of the Playoff Planet at the very crust of the core two powerhouse water teams square off.  These two water teams are so formidable that they almost seem as a microcosm of the full squads themselves.  The Underhills outnumber The Horsemen; but the greatest water warrior of either side:  Poseidon belongs to Darkseid's batch of brawlers.  The territorial Seaworms do battle amongst themsleves while Poseidon handles the rest.  The heroic Percy Jackson sees what must be done and knows that he cannot allow Poseidon to be victorious here and join his fellow Horsemen on the surface.  Percy, flanked by Mera and Namora grabs the Halberd from the grips of his teammate Manta and combines it with his own powers as he uses the Halberd to Cast Bolt 2 frying the depths of the Sea with magic lightning killing himself, The Seaworms, his own partners, and even Poseidon the King.  

We now move to the desert.  Actually, this was once the beautiful green forest of the Playoff Planet, it just appears as a desert now after the destruction these two squads have done.  Several of the combatants from each side, some with vehicles some without have taken high to the sky above the arctic areas, as well as some residing outside the atmosphere in space.  But the majority are here in the nearly destroyed forest area as previously mentioned.  It is that ground battle that continues to rage that we will return to briefly.  

Thrawn and Erasmus, aboard The Heavy Star Cruiser have changed course to head towards the Green Lantern Planet Mogo, while Darkseid has teleported himself directly to the surface of Mogo along with his son Orion and occasional girlfriend Granny Goodness.  Wedge and Biggs in their X-Wings engage in an outnumbered dogfight with Revan and the five Aerialbots.  Wedge hits Revan's ship with a proton torpedo blowing it out of the sky; but Revan manages to eject out onto the snowy landscape (it may take him a while to get back to the battle).  The two X-Wing pilots then kick up the thrusters and get the Aerialbots to follow them through the atmosphere and into space where they plan to corner the flying Autobots back by their capitol ship and commanding officer Admiral Thrawn.  Supergirl, The Eradicator, Megatron, and Ultron take flight to leave the planet as well to rendezvous with their partners on the enemy planet of Mogo.  

Despite the great power of the two about to meet their doom; Neo slices his way through Apocalypse, while Agent Smith sends swords through the chest of Rachel Summers before the two Matrix powerhouses engage each other in a pitched quadruple lightsaber battle for the ages atop the forest's highest valley.  We will have to return to that as well, for neither combatant seems able to gain the upper hand over the other.  Rachel Summer's Phoenix Force left her body and quickly attached itself to the similarly powered Norma Cenva.  

The Underhills have The Horsemen outnumbered in the woods; but Zod and his team cannot help but think The Horsemen are stalling them on purpose.  Zod and Spider-Man square off against He-Man and Battle Cat, while John Stewart and Norma Cenva attempt to catch The Flash.  In the depths of the remaining hills Juggernaut and Shazam are a handful on their own for the remaining members of Excalibur, Hulk, his arch-enemy, and Samwise.  

He-Man leaps off of Battle Cat as the two partners separate but stay close to take on the duo in front of them.  Spider-Man slings a flurry of webs at He-Man; but they barely serve to slow down the Eternian.  He-Man and Battle Cat then move to surround Zod, Spidey leaps into the middle to defend his teammate; but Battle Cat gets a hold of him with his jaws and rips him in two.  General Zod uses the loss of his partner to a tactical advantage and brings a double fist down on the neck of Battle Cat to cracking his vertebrae.  He-Man is now enraged to see the final death of his steed and best friend.  He-Man attacks with bloodlust as he engages General Zod in a pitched battle.  They trade blows that could one shot dinosaurs; but neither one falls.  It isn't until Zod realizes that He-Man is his equal in strength that he takes to the air and takes advantage of his other powers that he gains the upper hand.  He weakens He-Man with an intense blast of heat vision to the upper body and freeze breath to the lower body before coming in at break neck speed to pummel the Eternian and finally finish him off.  The Flash rushes in with the speed force to take out his second green lantern of the day as he blasts through the chest of John Stewart; but Norma Cenva taps into the speed force mentally and with a mere thought sends The Flash into a far off universe where he met a quick death.  

  

Juggernaut tests his strength against Abomination and finds that his claim of being unstoppable is verified as he mows through the gamma ray monstrosity; but when it comes to The Hulk, the madder he gets the stronger he gets.  The Juggernaut doesn't only get stopped but gets smashed when the Hulk hits his peak strength.  Shazam is taking on Excalibur all by himself.  The British X-Men seem to have the upper hand against Shazam; but none of them are quite powerful enough to put a deadly hit on the young incarnation of Captain Marvel.  But once Hulk becomes available and joins his teammates, they are able to finish off Shazam for good.

The Aerialbots are not able to compete with Wedge and Biggs in the dogfight; but once they get into space The Aerialbots merge to form Superion.  Once the gestalt is created they are able to smack the X-Wing of Biggs into the cosmos; but Superion then finds himself confronted with the heavy star cruiser under the command of Grand Admiral Thrawn himself.  The Heavy Star Cruiser, makes a play like it is moving towards Mogo; but it sets its weapons array on the target of Superion instead.  Although Thrawn and Erasmus, despite their tactical military genius, were not aware of the speed Superion could attain in space.  The two military masterminds of The Horsemen's plan, along with their ship and crew found themselves unable to defend against the firepower and sheer brute strength of the Aerialbot Gestalt who blasts apart their ship.  Wedge watches from his X-Wing as he notices a chink in the armor of Superion that he exploits with a perfectly aimed proton torpedo.  This blasts apart the combiner and causes the five Aerialbots to split back apart, killing Fireflight in the process.  The other four planes regain their composure and begin to fly straight; but are met by Supergirl, Megatron, Ultron, and The Eradicator on their way to Mogo that make short work of them.  

Neo and Agent Smith finally reach an end to their epic lightsaber battle as they both reach a point of digital exhaustion and join each other in death with an almost identical dual lightsaber thrust to their mutual chests.  

All remaining members of The Horsemen of Apokolips begin to arrive on the surface of Mogo, as they know that their victory is contingent on the destruction of the green lantern planet.  The primitive natives of the planet Mogo rally together to defend their world and begin to attack Darkseid and his Horsemen; but despite them numbering in the tens of thousands they serve as little more than a nuisance.  Supergirl and the other fliers arrive safely; but Wedge's X-Wing cannot make it through the green energy aura.  Wedge manages to survive after some excellent aerial maneuvers and ejects to safety to join his crew.  

Back on The Playoff Planet:

Four rings are still flying around the closed system of The Playoff Planet (three green and a blue).  The green ring once held by John Stewart calls to the other three as they meet in the sky.  They stop in the vicinity of each other as if they are simply taking a break from their duties to have a casual conversation.  Once together, the rings fly in unison to the only spot they feel appropriate.  They land on the hand of a small unassuming Hobbit, answering to the name of Sam.  

Revan regroups with his fellow Underhills just in time to hear the plan.  They know that the Horsemen intend to use all of their might to destroy Mogo and then return to The Playoff Planet to finish off The Underhills.  But The Underhills are more capable of travel than The Horsemen realize.  With Widget's teleportation powers, and Norma Cenva's ability to fold space they are able to transport the entire squad to the surface of Mogo where the finality of this match will need to be decided.  

ON THE SURFACE OF MOGO:  THE FINAL CHAPTER:

The Underhills arrive on the surface of Mogo to be greeted by by a grin from Darkseid and an order with no words to his Horsemen.  Simply a gauntlet covered finger point towards their opponents that his squad understands as a symbol for an all out attack.  Neither side holds anything back as they engage in the final stage of a battle so epic that these words have not done justice to it in the least.  Revan pops his lightsaber for the first time in this match and Force runs in swiftly to remove the head of Granny Goodness.  Zod engages in his third brutal and pitched battle of the day when The Eradicator steps up.  They both take flight and begin throwing down high in the skies of Mogo.  

Mogo is normally far more than a free floating space rock; but since Darkseid's arrival he has been using The Gauntlet and the Infinity Stones to suppress both the natural and the green lantern powers of the planet.  Darkseid plans to test the stones in due time to see if they are indeed powerful enough to destroy this entire living planet with a snap of his fingers; but he is biding his time.  The Underhills believed that they were enacting a surprise attack when they arrived on Mogo; but this is exactly where Darkseid wanted them.  Exactly where he planned to end them for good.  

Wedge pulls out his blaster and takes aim at Shadowcat; but Kitty Pryde phases herself and allows the lasers to travel right through her.  She moves on the rebel pilot grabbing his blaster, phasing it and placing it into his body.  She then unphases the object providing an uncomfortable death for poor Wedge.  

Norma Cenva meditates deeply in a bit of hidden brush.  She taps into the cosmic brain of Orion and simply makes it stop functioning.  

Zod finds himself in a state of utter exhaustion as he stands over the lifeless body of The Eradicator.  As he tries to recover, he assures himself that clones may be tough; but they are no substitute for a real Kryptonian.  

Hulk leaps in towards Megatron and knocks the large Decepticon to the ground; but he composes himself quickly.  Supergirl flies in to defend her partner, grabbing hold of the Hulk and powerslamming him to the ground.  Captain Britain starts delivering some haymakers on Ultron; but he finds that he is hurting himself just as much as he is the vibranium robot.  Sauron enters the skirmish as well; but this fight is far from over as the two sides, like always are evenly matched and won't be resolved quickly.  The Hulk almost gains the upper hand over Supergirl; but their fight gets broken apart by the entry of Sauron.  Ultron and Supergirl end up switching positions, just as Megatron transforms into his gun form and is caught by Ultron.  Ultron imbues his own powers into the already, fully energon charged single shot that Megatron has been building towards.  Ultron takes aim with Megatron in hand and hits The Hulk with a perfectly aimed shot to the temple of the green goliath, shockingly bringing him down.  Supergirl does not miss a beat and gets a choke hold on Captain Britain yelling USA, USA loudly just to taunt the mutant as she crushes out his last bit of life.

Samwise, with his Elven dagger in one hand, a frying pan in the other, and a pair of hands covered in rings bravely runs towards Darkseid; but the master of Apokolips simply swipes his hand left and knocks the halfling away.  Widget and Lockheed fly in next; but Darkseid grabs Widgets with his Gauntlet covered hand to crush the robot into oblivion, while simultaneously grabbing the dragon Lockheed by the throat with his naked hand.  Lockheed opens his mouth and hits Darkseid with a blast of fire, as he is being choked out; but it has no affect on The Horsemen leader whatsoever.  Darkseid knows that the time has come to truly put the limits of his limitless powers to the test.  He drops to one knee and places his hand on the ground as if to feel a pulse from the living world.  He then smirks, looks at his own hand and the weapon attached to it and snaps his finger.......

Instantly the ground starts to quake.  The earth begins to crumble away.  Volcanoes erupt.  The seas begin to boil.  The sky becomes as black as sack cloth.  Not only is the mind that was once Mogo completely destroyed but the corpse planet is on a brutal path of destruction along with it.  The only question is how many minutes people have to possibly get off this rock before this match is declared a draw from nothing surviving this act (even me).  The few remaining members of both squads continue to achieve victory; but they are doing more battling with the unnatural disaster itself than they are with each other.               

Darkseid is reveling in his destructive achievement; but he is still facing an attack from The Dark Lord Sauron that is not to be trifled with.  Zod has finally met his match has he engages in yet another (Becks style) pitched battle with his first true Kryptonian of the day: Supergirl.  Nightcrawler and Shadowcat work their way over to the fight in progress between their friends Norma Cenva and Revan, who are taking on Ultron and Megatron who has reverted back to his large robot mode.  

Norma Cenva looks deep into the optics of Megatron who is being kept busy by the ever elusive Nightcrawler and Shadowcat.  She looks into the shared memories of hundreds of generations of her sisters and back to her own mother.  A mother she did not get along with; but who fought a war with a noble cause to destroy thinking machines like the one before her.  Norma unleashes the Phoenix Force taken from Rachel Summers and attaches herself to Megatron.  She sends them both into a fiery oblivion an incalculable distance away leaving even more destruction in their wake on this already crumbling planet.  Shadowcat phases through Ultron to disrupt his circuitry, while Nightcrawler delivers a drop kick to Ultron's face.  Although it is the great Force wielder Revan who finishes Ultron off by sending a Force aided lightsaber through the robot to slice him into four pieces.  As Revan attempts to turn off his saber he looks down slightly to see a detached robot hand still around his neck.  It is then that he feels his windpipe close for good.  

Supergirl has gained the upper hand over Zod and is pummeling him into the what is left of the ground.  Shadowcat looks at her beloved friend Nightcrawler and speaks:  "Hey Kurt, remember that thing Professor Xavier told us never to do??  That thing he said would never be worth it in any scenario".  

"I remember my friend.  I also remember that he was correct and that we defeated Magneto that day without doing that horrific act".  Replies Wagner.

"I think this day might be worse Buddy".  Says Kitty.

Nightcrawler reaches out for Kitty Pryde's hand and says:  "The Lord is our Shepherd, let him forgive us for what we are about to do".  

A loud BAMF is heard as NIghtcrawler teleports his own body into that of Supergirl.  The phased body of Shadowcat does the same as she unphases herself inside the Kryptonian woman who was finishing off their commanding officer Zod.  

Sauron approaches Darkseid with murderous intent, ready to end this battle once and for all.  The Great Deceiver of Mordor swings his mighty Mace not twice but thrice at the wielder of the Infinity Stones; but Darkseid dodges the first two swings and then catches the spiked ball with his Gauntlet encrusted hand.  Darkseid holds Sauron steady while glaring at The Ring of Power.  Darkseid then blasts Sauron's arm clean off at the wrist and watches as The One Ring falls to the ground.  The massive winds blows the lifeless hand and ring away where they land at the feet of Sam.  Sam looks at The Ring and then looks to the broken body of his team leader General Zod, who lay dying on the broken grounds.  "You cannot wield it Lad.  Don't try it".  Zod says with his dying breath.

Sam picks up The Ring knowing that it may transition him to join with the forces of evil; and puts it onto his left finger next to The Flash's old Blue Ring.  Not invisible to one carrying the reality stone, he approaches Darkseid who asks him curtly:  "Who are you supposed to be"??  

"I'm The Lord of the Rings" replies Sam.  

The commandingly powerful Darkseid asks yet another question:  "Do you intend to fight me Little One"??

Both combatants knowing full well, who would win a one on one fight, Samwise replies:  "No Sir Mr. Dark Side.  I plan to finish what you started".  

With those words.  Sam does not hesitate to take The One Ring back off of his finger and cast it into the fiery chasm below them.  The Ring hits the magma inside the crust of the planet and ushers in the inevitable end of what was once Mogo.  The ground opens up underneath the last few living creatures and swallows them into the abyss of dust as it dissipates in the dark of space.

.......

........................

An indefinite amount of time later, a tiny hobbit awakens in space, concealed by a blue and green aura.  Uncertain of his whereabouts, the small creature looks down at the rings on his fingers and asks them a question:  "Where are you taking me"??

The ring answers telepathically:  "We are taking you to The Universe Bowl Mr. Gamgee".
