Season 8, Week 2: Miley Cyrus and Barack Obama's "Best of Both Worlds" Touring Battalion of Commandos vs The Traveling Sisterhood of Evil Midgets

Miley Cyrus and President Barack Obama’s “Best of Both Worlds” Touring Battalion of Commandos are Jared Nomak w/ Despotellis’ Yellow Lantern Ring, Tracksimus Prime, Warpath, Movie Blackout w/ Atrocitus’ Red Lantern Ring, Darth Binks, Bellatrix LeStrange, Judah Ben Hur w/ White Lantern Ring, The Dinobots: Grimlock, Slag, Snarl, Sludge, & Swoop, The Susperia Clan: Madame Blanc, Miss Tanner, Helena Markos & Susperia Witch Coven #1-5, Tenderheart Bear, Gungan Soldier #13, and Vampire #5-10, #71-74.

The Traveling Sisterhood of Evil Midgets are Link, Lolo, Bizarro Mr. Mxyzlplkt, The Eradicator, Haldir w/Mithril Vest & Green Lantern Ring, Tom Bombadil w/ Alan Scott’s Green Lantern Ring, Jolly Green Giant, Sprout w/ Green Lightsaber, The Farmer, Velociraptor #21-23, Wicked Witch of the East w/ Orange Lantern Ring, Hammer Bros. Shaun Poteracki, Zombie Robert Hudson on Nazgul #9's Mordor Horse and Goblin #51-60.

“I have fought within these forests more times that I care to remember. The night is always a dangerous time to be within these trees. Lucky for me I have brought some back up.” 

The trees rustle as a giant pushes past them. 

“I can smell them, Link. There are eight, maybe ten of them,” says the Golly Green Giant.

“I miss the days where your namesake ran true old friend,” replies the protector of Hyrule.

“Link my boy, I have seen too many of our friends lost to in this miserable life we have been thrust into. I apologize, but there just isn’t much to be ‘jolly’ about anymore,” says the Giant. 

Two Vampires leap out from the trees, fangs exposed. There is a hum behind them followed by a quick green glow that relieves them both of their heads.

“Come on Jolly Green. We just won a championship. You’ve got a lot to still be jolly about!” Sprout says as Vampire #71 and #72’s limp bodies crumple to the ground. 

The emerald behemoth sighs as his compatriot shows little remorse for the lives he just sent to the Graveyard. Link hears the faintest crack, draws his Bow of Light and fires three Light Arrows into the trees. Flashes of brimstone and fire bursts in the thick foliage as screams are heard.

“Three more of these vamps down, let’s move. We’re being watched,” Link says to his team. 

The five remaining Vampires charge after Link and Sprout. An angry bellow is let out from the Golly Green Giant as he slams his foot down, crushing the five Vampires. 

The three of them double back and meet up with the rest of their team. Tom Bombadil uses his mastery of magic, along with his mystical Green Lantern Ring to form lassos around the three Velociraptors. 

“These Commandos are not to be trifled with,” Haldir states. 

“Thank you for stating the obvious elf. I’m surrounded by elves. Feh,” quips the Eradicator as he floats solemnly above the rest of his team, ignoring whatever plans they continue to work out. 

Haldir’s Green Lantern Ring begins to glow as he turns his gaze upon the Eradicator.

“Ignore the Kryptonian, Haldir. He’s one to talk. There’s more of them out there than there are of us,” Link says as he places a hand on his brethren’s shoulder. “We have bigger things to worry about.”

“Link. Send the Goblins. Let them stir up some trouble,” Haldir responds to his teammate. 

Link gives the word to his team of Goblins. They growl and beat their armor as they race off into the forest, leading the charge. They hack and slash through the brush, making all sorts of noise. They then come to a sudden stop as they hear something that frightens them. Several loud, thunderous, metallic roars. The Dinobots come crashing through the trees and rip through the Goblins as if they were insects. 

“Holy crap. The Dinobots,” Hammer Bros. Shaun Poteracki says to himself in a sense of astonishment and admiration. He pulls his hammers out, reddening himself for battle. Unfortunately for him, he is impaled by the spikes on Snarl’s tail. With his last dying breath the Poteracki Hammer Bros. goes “Huh. That’s so cool.”

“Commandos attack!” exclaims Trackimus Prime as the Suspira Witch Coven, led by Madame Blanc swarm the Traveling Sisterhood (though, with the exception of the Raptors….. there’s not a female amongst them…. Well except for maybe Zombie Rob Bartlett.). Tom and the Wicked Witch throw up a green and orange force field, deflecting the magical and lantern energy blasts. The Wicked Witch’s cackle mixes in the air with the Suspria’s own cackles. The laughter annoys Bombadil. This actually in turns makes him begin to laugh himself.

“What are YOU laughing about little man?” exclaims his teammate, the Wicked Witch. 

“Normally I’M the one who’s doing the annoying! Hahaha!” he responds. 

This statement makes the Witch of the East cackle even louder. Together they control their energies together and blast the Witch Coven back. Suspiria Witch #4 and #5 are eviscerated by this controlled burst. Miss Tanner is the first to retaliate and knocks Tom Bombadil backwards as Helena Markos leaps on the Wicked Witch.

“Oh such a shame. You should have been one of us. Pity,” she grows as Red Lantern energy foams from her mouth.

“Hahahahaahaha. I like that ring of yours,” the Wicked Witch of the East maniacally laughs as she puts a hole through the chest of the old woman. She reaches for the Red Lantern ring, but it shoots off to the Commandos’ locker room before she can claim it for her own. “Nooooooo!!! It’s mine!!!”

“No…. It’s ours.” Madame Blanc says as she drops a house made purely of yellow energy on top of the Wicked Witch of the East.

“Now, now, now. That wasn’t very polite of you,” Tom Bombadil says as he uses his immense magical abilities to tear Madame Blanc from the inside out. 

“Sisters!!! End him… NOW!” Miss Tanner exclaims as she and the three remaining Suspiria Witches merge on Tom Bombadil. 

“Avada Kedavra!!” shouts Bellatrix LeStrange as she arrives to aid her sisters of the spell. 

The Killing Curse hits Tom square in the chest, but he is too powerful to be taken down by a single incantation. All five witches focus their attack on him, but he continues to withstand.  He focuses himself as he sings. “Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow; Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow” over and over again. He lets out a powerful green burst that blinds all around. This sacrifice takes out all the remaining witches. 

Meanwhile, Bizarro Mr. Mxyslplkt is trying everything he can to penetrate Judah Ben Hur’s white lantern energy. Lolo hops in to try and help, but Ben Hur creates a chariot drawn by a team of horses made up of pure white energy and crushes his foes beneath their hooves. However, what he did not see coming was, Link from behind. He impales Ben Hur with the Master Sword. The chariot dissipates as Ben Hur’s soul leaves this plane of existence and passes on to the Graveyard.

The Raptors, which were once wrangled by Tom Bombadil, are now on the loose. However, flesh and bone dinosaurs are no match for the Dinobots. Swoop flies in and dive-bombs the trio and annihilates them. 

“Me Swoop having fun!” as he rockets back up into the sky.

His fun however is cut short as the Jolly Green Giant knocks him out of the air with a mighty swing of a tree that he has ripped out of the ground. But this hit does not kill Swoop. The Giant is angry and stomps his way closer to Swoop. He hears the whirl of transformation. Grimlock bursts through the trees and tackles the Jolly Green Giant to the ground. He then transforms back into a Tyrannosaurs Rex, opens his massive jaws and engulfs the Giant in flames. Grimlock lets out a monstrous roar as the battle wages on.

Haldir draws his bow and arrow, charges the arrow with green energy and fires it through the mouth of Gungan Soldier #13. A red lightsaber ignites amongst the dark of the night. 

“Usa gonna pay bombad dearly for dis,” growls Darth Binks. 

“Come then Gungan. Please test me,” retorts Haldir as he creates a green energy sword.

The two clash blades, sending sparks into the air. Haldir ducks as Darth Binks angrily swings his lightsaber, cutting a tree in half. The Sith Gungan spins back around and slashes Haldir’s chest, sending him to the ground. Darth Binks moves closer to end this duel, but the elf rolls over and drives his green energy sword through his neck. Link arrives just as Binks falls to the ground. 

“Haldir, I saw that last attack he made. You should have been cut in half!” Link shouts. As he extends his hand to pick his teammate up, he notices the glimmer of Haldir’s Mithril vest. “Well I’ll be damned. That stuff even blocks a lightsaber?!” 

“Lucky for me. Now let’s get back out there. Our team is getting decimated,” Haldir responds. 

As they rush back into battle, they see the crushed remains of the Farmer within a massive robotic footprint. Overhead they see the Eradicator and Movie Blackout are engaged in a hellacious dogfight. Zombie Rob Bartlett rides past them upon Nazgul #9’s horse. The zombie and the horse are then quickly blown away by a blast from Warpath.

“KABLAMMO!!! Now that’s what I’m talking about! ZOOOWIE!!” Warpath exclaims. 

The Autobot tank continues to trek towards the elves. He targets them and fires, but Link uses Farore’s Wind to teleport them both behind the tank. This allows Haldir and Link to gain the advantage on Warpath. Haldir rips the door off the top of Warpath. Link leaps on top of him and tosses a bag of bombs into the exposed hull. The Autobots is blown apart from the inside as the elves continue to give their team a chance, ending his FFL career.

The Eradicator dodges Movie Blackout’s red lantern energy his is spewing out at the Kryptonian. He then takes of full speed and rips right through the helicopter, sending him to the Graveyard. He then turns his attention to the Dinobots below. As the Eradicator engages the team of metallic dinosaurs, Sprout sees Jared Nomack slinking his way towards Haldir and Link. He uses his size to catch the reaper vampire by surprise and relieves him of his head with his lightsaber. 

“Ha. I’m starting to enjoy offing these bloodsuckers,” Sprout says to himself. He is then tackled to the ground by a ferocious Tenderheart Bear. “Ha please. Give me a break,” Sprout says as he cuts the Care Bear into several pieces. 

Trackimus Prime then rolls in, only to be unceremoniously blasted by the Eradicator. The damage is severe. The Dinobots see their Autobot leader gravely injured and leap into action. They all descend upon the ancient Kryptonian quite literally tear him limb from limb. 

“Cough… Damn, never was much of a leader…. Cough,” Trackimus Prime weakly says. “Grimlock. Take the Matrix. Be the leader you were born to be.” 

Trackimus then opens his chest up and passes the Autobot Matrix of Leadership to the commander of the Dinobots. Grimlock places the Matrix within himself and grows only slightly larger than before. His Tyrannosaurs Rex form now features more armor and large fangs. 

“Me Grimlock now….. Grimlock PRIME!!” he roars.

The rest of the Dinobots roar in unison as Link, Haldir and Sprout make their final stand. Valiant to then end the three of them are.  However, they are just too overwhelmed by the rampaging Dinobots. Sprout is crushed by a mighty swing of Sludge’s tail. Haldir leaps out of the way from Snarl, but his ring wielding arm is sliced off by Slag’s sword and is then burned alive by the Triceratops’ flamethrower. Link is the last member of his team standing. With his Master Sword in hand he leaps up at Grimlock, but alas, does not survive the attack. 

The Dinobots collectively roar in victory as they have defeated a formidable opponent.

S8W2: Griswold's Nut Busters vs. The Royal Highness

Griswold’s Nut Busters is: Zombie Thanos, Onslaught, Age of Apocalypse Blob, Evan Sabahnur, Doomsday, The Slacker Team: (Black Slacker, Even Blacker Slacker, Dark Slacker, Colored Slacker, Brown Slacker and The Damn Near Purple Slacker), Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, Nightbrother #10, Warg Rider #3 (W/ Halberd), Rider’s Warg #5, Velociraptor #8, Smurf #3, Treasure Troll #17, Mummy #11-12, Goblin #42-48.

The Royal Highness is: The Gardener, Orion, Mighty Joe Young (8 deaths), Gorilla Grodd (9 deaths), Booker Dewitt & Elisabeth, Wookie #1-4, Dilophosaur #21-22, Wendy, Good Luck Bear, Goblin #11-20. Vehicles: AT-ST, TIE Bomber, Battle Hawk (HeMan), Oscorp Glider.


Warg Rider #3 is tearing through the woods on his trusty Warg (#5).  He is leading the first charge along with Mummies 11 and 12 and Goblins 42-48.  They are soon met by the Goblin crew of the Royal Highness.  The air is soon filled with a green mist (because think thats what color goblin blood is) as the two armies clash.  Nightbrother #10 comes in next and cuts the head off Goblins 12 and 19, ending the melee. He regroups with Mummy #12 as Smurf #3 makes it to the fight carrying Treasure Troll #17 on his back.  Wookie #1-3 quickly rush in and #1 drives his Ryyk sword into the chest of the last remaining as Mummy as Wookie #2 cuts his head off.  The Nightbrother is quick to avenge his fallen common, stabbing Wookie #1 to death before he can free his sword. As the Nightbrother moves his attention to Wookie #2, Wookie #3 has joined the fight.  Wookie #3 gets tripped up by the shorter Nut busters and loses is balance.  Smurf #3 and the Treasure Troll are crushed under the massive weight of the wookie and Nightbrother seizes the opportunity to finish off the fallen wookie, knowing that Wookie #2 will kill him in a matter of seconds.

“Hey... Baby, I heard you like to freeeeeeak!” sings Violent J as he enters the clearing.  Shaggy is right behind him and Wookie #2 stands alone, poised to fight.  He rushes the odd looking stoners wearing clown face (which, by the way, is offensive to real clowns and has no place in this day in age) and when he gets close, is met with a blinding splash of Faygo Redpop in his face courtesy of Mr. 2 Dope.  The wookie waves his sword wildly and feels his knee break as the rap duo gives him a Detroit beatdown.  Amidst the flurry of kicks and punches, he loses his grip on his sword which Violent J picks up and uses to ensure the Wookie will never celebrate another Life Day.

KA-BOOM.  The lyrical masterminds are destroyed and where they once stood is now only a smoking crater courtesy of the AT-ST being controlled by Wookie #4 and Good Luck bear.

“Aaaaarrrrrgghhhhh!”  Says Wookie #4.
“It wasn’t luck!” protests the bear, “Can’t I ever do anything awesome in this league without it immediately being perceived as as luck. I spent 5 years in the Care Bear Marine Corps.  I’ve seen my fair share of spilled stuffing.”
“Urrgh.”  Says Wookie #4 apologetically as he pushes a lever to move the walker forward.

A few clicks east, Booker DeWitt is hiding in the bushes with Wendy while his daughter Elizabeth circles above in a TIE Bomber.  Booker leans down and whispers into the ear of the fast food matriarch, “On my mark, you run!”.  He grips his shotgun and watches as his two Dilophosaurus teammates charge at The Blob.  The claws of the dinosaurs make barely a scratch in the thick skin of the man and The Blob scoops up Dilo #21 and eats him whole.  Mighty Joe Young jumps onto the head of The Blob, interrupting his feast.  The massive gorilla digs his claws into the eye sockets of The Blob and pull his eyes out.  

“Now Wendy!” Says Booker.  Wendy takes off and grabs the biggest rock she can handle.  She scales the fat folds on the morbidly obese creature and, sacrificing herself for the cause, lunges herself into his gaping maw, jamming the rock into his throat, cutting off his air supply. (“I’m all out of love… I’m so lost without youuuu!”)  Booker raises his shotgun and fires shot after shot into the mouth of The Blob and into his brain finally ending his struggle.  

Mighty Joe Young falls next as Evan Sabahnur projects a beam of energy into the chest and head of the beast sending him to the Graveyard.  The air begins to reek of burnt hair and flesh and Booker watches as Evan easily kills the last Dilophosaurus and turns to face him.  He knows his shotgun is probably no match for the former X-man but steadies his aim anyway.  Suddenly, the bushes to his right begin to rustle and he peers over into the sinister eyes of Velociraptor #8.

“Clever girl.” Booker says to himself.

Booker is shredded and the raptor begins to eat his guts before he finishes dying.  Elizabeth defending from above fires a flurry of blasts killing the dinosaur and sending Evan fleeing.  The shots have given off her position and Onslaught jumps onto the hull of the ship.  No evasive maneuvers can get him off as he is magnetically attached.  Elizabeth can feel him trying to take control of the ship so in a selfless act, she manipulates a tear in the fabric of time and drives her ship, along with Onslaught, into another unknown time and dimension far away from this match.

The Slacker team is sitting around, not doing much.  Doomsday starts to yell at his teammates when he hears the AT-ST coming through the trees.  “Do... whatever it is that you guys do!” he yells before taking off toward the walker.  

The Slacker team stands to face each other and they touch the tips of their “fingers” together.  “With our powers combined,” the six of them chant, “We form, The Mighty Jackin Power Slacker!”  Colored, Brown and Purple climb onto the shoulders of the other three and they join arms together and march in the direction that Doomsday ran.

Doomsday has obliterated the AT-ST and he is covered in wookie blood and the cotton from Good Luck Bear.  He is tearing one of the metal legs off the dismantled machine and sees his the Slacker team.  “THAT is your special power?!?” says Doomsday.  “You just sit on each other’s shoulders?”

The Mighty Jackin Power Slacker shrug all 12 of their shoulders and look up in horror as they see Gorilla Grodd bearing in riding a Battle Hawk.  He uses the claws on the ship to scoop up Doomsday and throw him into The MJPS.  The impact of Doomsday and also being blown into the trees kills all six of the slackers.  Gorilla Grodd dismounts his ship and Doomsday shakes the dust off.  Doomsday charges the beast and the two begin to fight.

Evan Sabahnur joins the fight along with Zombie Thanos.  Gorilla Grodd is outnumbered and it looks like his ticket to the the graveyard is stamped.  He looks at his three attackers who surround him. As they close in, Evan gets shot in the head with an arrow of Orion who soars in on an Oscorp Glider.  Doomsday charges at the Greek huntsman and breaks his bow along with his neck.  Exhausted, Doomsday rises to help Zombie Thanos but arrives too late as he just had his neck snapped by Gorilla Grodd.  Doomsday and Grodd are back to where they started, only now they are holding each other tighter and tighter like two heavyweights in the 12th round who have given all they have.  Doomsday proves the better match. As he crushes the last life out of Gorilla Grodd, he falls exhausted and prostrate watching his breath ripple the puddles that have formed in the footprints on the forest floor.

The trees begin to rustle and Doomsday rolls over to watch the canopy of leaves above him come to life. The branches reach out and wrap themselves around the last Nut Buster. The Gardener emerges from the shadows and Doomsday surrenders himself as the limbs tighten their grip and cuts his massive body into a dozen pieces.

Season 8, Week 2 Match:John and Vader House of Sith Aids vs. Team Sleeping Pussy: Epilogue

            A steel mesh separates the locker room areas of the additional commons added to each team for the season.  The Vampires hear the fighting outside and wait to be released to join their new teammates in the forest fight.  At the same time, the two teams scan one another in near total darkness, but notice that each is an assortment of Vampires.  The Aids have Vampires 41-50.  Team Sleeping Pussy has Vampires 61-70. 
Vampire 63: Hey, 69.  Turn on the light so we can really scan our enemies!
Vampire 69 walks toward the wall that contains an array of switches. 69 flips the yellow one.
Vampire 64:  Make sure you switch the artificial one, not the solar one!
Vampire 69 looks down and notices the wording: “Solar light.”
Vampire 69: Oh, sh@t!
Before Vampire 69 is able to undo what he has done, sunlight rips through both areas and all of the vampires, 41-50 and 61-70 explode into dust.

Season 8, Week 2 Match: John and Vader House of Sith Aids vs. Team Sleeping Pussy

“Suddenly I stop,
But I know it’s too late;
I’m lost in the forest,
All alone.”

                                   The Cure, "A Forest"

I look upon the teams which will do battle in this Season 8, Week 2 Match located in the Forest of Hyrule.  They are as follows:

John and Vader House of Sith Aids : Zombie Master Chief, Zombie Yoda, Zett Jukassa, Young Avengers: Patriot, Wiccan, Hulkling, Hawkeye, Stature, Speed and Iron Lad, The Leader, Jaina Solo, R.O.M. the Spaceknight and Vengeance.  

Team Sleeping Pussy: Manbearpig, Al Gore, Webstor, Moss Man, Tunnel Rat, Pikachu, Hamato Yoshi with purple lightsaber, Xenomorphs 1-4, Quicksilver, Lizard and Obi Wan Kenobi’s Spirit.  

Let the battle begin. . .

In the Zelda inspired realm, Zett Jukassa wields his lightsaber as Xenomorphs 1 through 4 swarm the young Jedi trainee.  Jukassa spins and slices through Xenomorph 2.  Xenomorphs 1, 3 and 4 simultaneously attack the youngling, tearing him apart before Zombie Master Chief has the opportunity to drop from the branches above.  Although a bit slower due to his decaying body, Zombie Master Chief still manages to clamp his finger firmly down on the trigger of his brutal weapon, spraying a flurry of projectiles at the remaining Xenomorphs.   Xenomorphs 1 and 4 are shredded, but Xenomorph 3 strikes and tears Master Chief’s arm off.  As the militant’s weapon falls to the ground, the undead fails to notice Tunnel Rat spring from a ramshackle trap door located on the ground.  The G.I. Joe character fires a well placed bullet through the helmet of Zombie Master Chief, spraying the undead’s brain matter across the forest floor.  

Tunnel Rat laughs at the kill and mumbles to himself:  Everyone, even the undead should know to pay attention to your surroundings. . . and knowing that is half the battle.

Just as Tunnel Rat is about to creep back into his hidden lair, the Joe’s head is lopped off by Zombie Yoda.  Xenomorph 3 is killed by Jaina Solo.

Yoda looks to the body of Tunnel Rat: Know this now you do.  Messes with this team’s undead, no one does. 

While the skirmish finishes in one area of the forest, another fight is on the precipice of its beginning.

Al Gore stands is a clearing, speaking to no one in particular as no visible combatants can be seen. 

Al Gore:  Let this Forest of Hyrule be preserved so that generations of those in the FFL may enjoy their beautiful surroundings.  Nature is essential to our livelihood and happiness.  We must enjoy the grandeur foliage that encases our lives.  Let me continue to say. . .

As Gore rambles on, the Leader utilizes his gamma irradiated ability to predict probable outcomes of tactical and strategic scenarios.  The villain skips a rock across a hanging branch, which scuttles across to another tree, striking a large, deadened limb.  The wooden husk crashes down on Gore’s skull, instantly killing him. 

The Leader: Enjoy that foliage you ignoramus. 

While the Leader laughs, he fails to notice Manbearpig waddle behind him.  The South Park beast tears into the Leader, who dies before his body hits the ground. 

A few of the Young Avengers scream onto the scene, with their sole objective being to destroy the filthy beast that just killed their teammate.  Hawkeye shoots Manbearpig in the left eye with a well placed arrow.  Iron Lad uses an energy blast to scorch the hairs which cover the animal.   Finally, Hulkling transforms into a mirror image of Manbearpig and throws the injured Pussy to the ground. Patriot leaps into the air and coming down, uses his triangular shield to decapitate Manbearpig.  Hawkeye, Iron Lad and Patriot look to Hulkling, who is still in Manbearpig guise.

Hawkeye:  You smell.

Hulkling transforms back into his human form: No worse than you.  While I was Manbearpig I smelled your essence.

Hawkeye:  Essence?

Hulkling:  That time of the month, huh?

Hawkeye: Doesn’t affect me, you a-hole!

Iron Lad and Patriot laugh heartily at their teammate’s exchange.

Near a small lake in the forest, Obi Wan Kenobi’s Spirit discusses lightsaber forms with Hamato Yoshi, further increasing the skill already held by the ninjitsu. Jaina Solo storms onto the scene.  Although Yoshi matches abilities with Jaina Solo with his purple lightsaber, Zombie Yoda enters the fray and the two Jedi are too much for Yoshi, as the Sword of the Jedi slices Yoshi in two. Meanwhile, the Young Avenger Wiccan begins to spin his hands, warping reality and in turn, casting a spell to bring the Spirit of Kenobi into the material world.  A motorcycle is heard as Vengeance screams into the melee.  Vengeance uses his protruding spikes and throwing them, embeds more than two dozen into the solid Spirit of Kenobi, who upon his death, dissipates once again.

Quicksilver races into the skirmish and uses his mutant-enhanced ability to catch up with the running Young Avenger, Speed.  The elder statesman easily dispatches with the lesser Speed.   Quicksilver then races to Yoda.  Due to the failings of the undead to utilize the essence of the Force since they are no longer living, Yoda is unable to overcome Quicksilver’s whirlwind and the Jedi’s desiccated corpse is destroyed by the mutant.  

As Hulkling, Hawkeye, Iron Lad and Patriot arrive, the Lizard surprises the team by jumping from lake.  Lizard grabs Hawkeye and drags her to the bottom of the murky waters, drowning her.  R.O.M. the Spaceknight comes upon the lake and as the Spiderman villain surfaces, the Marvel hero uses his neutralizer and sends the Lizard through a dimensional portal, killing him. 

Moss Man comes out from his camouflaged hiding place and is joined by fellow He-Man nemesis, Webstor.  Webstor spins his webs and encases Stature.  The Young Avenger diminishes in size, but the webbing does not release her.  In an attempt to free herself, she quickly grows.  Unfortunately, the webs do not break, but instead, slice her into many pieces; Stature dies.  Moss Man manages to injure Patriot, but is killed by Iron Lad.   Webstor is killed by R.O.M. and Jaina Solo.  The strength, speed and maturity of Quicksilver allow him to dispel with Patriot and Hulkling.  Nonetheless, Quicksilver is killed by the combined efforts of Wiccan, Solo and Vengeance.

A lone Pikachu faces the remaining Aids.

Pikachu:  Pikachu.  Pikachu!!!

Pikachu uses volt tackle to electrically rip into Iron Lad and R.O.M. the Spaceknight, who are burned within their suits.  A worn Pikachu looks to Jaina Solo, Wiccan and Vengeance, knowing that its time is up.

Pikachu: Pikachu. . .

Wheels begin to turn...

The hums of the murder machines slowly grinds to a stop as the finish off their gruesome purpose. Their operator hurries out of the clubhouse of TEAM- the final stop of his magical, misery muder tour for week on. He leaves in a hurry, anxious to see the results of his own personal addition to this henious chore.

As he makes his way to his destination, he looks at the palatial palace of the Watchers and an evil smirk finds it's way to his face.

"Oh, if you could only SEE what the stars hold for you. But alas you'll be Forced to WATCH as it all CrasHEs down."

He makes his way to his den, and begins to check the readings on his machines.

"Energy can never REALLY be destroyed. It must GO somewhere." he begins to cackle. "Not enough to arouse suspicion" he thinks to himself "And by the time they do see it'll be too late. Week 9 TRULY will be their KILLER wEEK!"

He then turns his attention to another set of readings, and satistfied with their reports he vidchats his accomplice

"Yes. The findings are solid." he whispers- suddenly aware of how loud he actually speaks "The bends are appearing, the fractures will follow. No one will notice, as the 8 has been silenced. It's aLL coming toGETHER." he begins to giggle. His partner issues a silent nod of affirmation and logs off.

The manic man begins to sign an odd song horribly off key, one that holds a twisted meaning to him

"Oh!  wRItten in THe STaRS. A Million MILEs away! A MESSAGE to the Main!  OhhHH, SEasons ComE and GO. But I wiLL nevER chaNGe! And I'm On mY WAYYYYYyyyYYYYYY!!!"


S8 Week 1 Standings

S8W1: Horsemen vs. Slaves

Fans of the FFL were anxiously filling into Comfort Inn Stadium, home of the Slaves in anticipation of another exciting season.

And why shouldn’t the Slave faithful be excited?

The Slaves always seem to be contenders out of the Stan Lee Conference and this year should be no exception.

Not to mention a strong, early test awaited the Slaves as they were to take on the Horsemen of the Apokolips in what was to be an epic battle to kick off the 2015 FFL season.

Speaking of the Horsemen, over in the visitor’s locker room, Professor X had his team cool, calm and collected. Upon posting the lineup card on the wall for the team and media we’d learn that Cyclopes would lead the Horsemen on the mound while former slow pitch softball pitcher Green Lantern Ryan Poteracki would be warming up in the bullpen. It was somewhat of a gamble by Charles Xavier considering the question marks surrounding Poteracki and his transition from slow pitch softball to the rigors of the FFL baseball league. Either way the Horsemen were ready and satisfied with their positional roles except for Brandon Inge who threw an occasional bitch for playing utility infield instead of third base but that was quickly quelled. Besides, the Horsemen didn’t have time for infighting. The team was eager to get out to a hot start after their embarrassing loss to the Sisterhood in last year’s playoffs.

However, as the Horsemen were about to take the field for pre-game warm ups, a loud explosion could be heard from the Slaves’ side of the field followed by a pungent aroma emanating out from the home team’s dugout.

Rushing to investigate what happened; FFL Security came to a grisly sight…

Dead bodies of Slaves’ team members lay strewn across the locker room. There was blood everywhere as well as the torn stink sac of Stinkor handing out of his mangled body. But among the carnage, Superman sat at his locker stall looking bewildered and in obvious shock.

“What happened?!” A member of the security team asked?

A shaken Superman replied, “I killed them, I killed them all…” as his face dug back into his hands.

“But why?!” the security personnel asked.

“Why?” Superman said. “The Slaves front office provided us with a roster but no position assignments” sobbed Superman. “Nolan Ryan came in and said he was going to pitch”

His voice growing more angry “I told him I’d be damned if I was going to let a 68 year old pitcher start for this team! Especially against the Horsemen!”

Superman continued, “He (Nolan Ryan) then threw a baseball at my head and a brawl ensued…”

“I swear I didn’t mean to kill anybody!” pleaded Superman who at this time was sobbing uncontrollably.

Looking over the devastation a security guard said “Damn, not even his own father was safe”.

Bat-Boy (Bat boy/DH)
Dave Goverde (Utility)

The Real Men’s Rabble Rousers are:

Vincent Vega (SS)
Vampire Count Dooku (3B)
Franklin Clay (LF)
Jake Jenson (CF)

Rubeus Hagrid (DH)
The Burger King (Utility)
Rob Bartlett (Jedi Padawan) (Utility)
Johnny Cage (Pinch Hitter)

Jeb Bush (Middle Relief)
Nancy Pelosi (Closing Pitcher)


Lloyd Carr is livid. He is screaming as his starting pitcher is being arrested before the game has even begun.

“I am a SHIELD agent! Unhand me!” Screams Colsen. The California State Troopers and FBI agents do not seem to care. In fact, they take pride every time they get a chance to take a shit on the constitution and arrest someone for violation of the state’s absurd gun laws. The head agent tells Carr that he got a tip from someone at the field that Colsen had an illegal weapon that was not registered with the state. On top of that, the gun had a removable magazine and the chamber is not configured for microstamping.

Nancy Pelosi smugly walks up to Carr. “Aww, that sucks. Guess I’ll have to get the start today.”

90 painful minutes later, the top of the first ends. Pelosi has thrown over eighty pitches, 16 balks, and she has sweated through granny panties and into her pants suit. The reigning champs have batted through the order 3 and a half times. Cain and Troup had back to back home runs twice. In between innings, Carr changes the game plan.

“Clearly we are not going to win unless we change their lineup a bit.” Says Carr.  He begins to set up a little sabotage.

Maria Hill charges toward the Midgets dugout before they can take the field.  She ignites her jetpack and in a kamikaze ball of flame, is able to take out Troup, Cain, Goverde, Simmell, Scrimmell, and Kintaro. Rubeus Hagrid uses his magic umbrella to kill Tony Dinozzo. Mr. Mizpitelik runs from the dugout and is face to face with Johnny Cage.

FATALITY!

The umpire calls time just before Mizpitelik’s head hits the ground. He points to the Rabble Rousers dugout and orders Lloyd Carr out to the plate.

“Hmm.  Looks like they don’t have enough players. Do they forfeit?” asks Carr.

“Actually,” says the Ump, “You and your team is in violation of MLB Rule 4.15(b). Or, since you were the home team, I guess you could be in violation of 3.18 as well.  Take your pick, the result is the same, old man.”

An angry Carr and the rest of the Rabble Rousers storm off the field, and into the FFL woodchipper!

Mike Seaver sits alone in a well furnished living room and is reading his Bible.
Dr. Jason Seaver enters through the front door.

*Applause

Jason Seaver: Hey son, how's your day been?
Mike Seaver: Great dad, just spending a little time with my other Father.
JS: (Looks at camera) There he goes again!

*Catchprase laughter

MS: Very Funny. Where have you been all day?
JS: Well son, if I'm going to make it to the big leagues, I had been start practicing. I put some fliers up around the neighborhood inviting everyone to a pick up baseball game. Let's see how many people have the guts to face the ol' Seaver Heater!
MS: But dad, why baseball? I thought you played football in school. Wasn't your nickname 'The Receiving Seaver?'
JS: No son, that was your cheating whore of a mother's nickname.

*Hooting and hollering

MS: Daaaad!

*Laughter

Their conversation is interrupted by the doorbell

JS: I'll get it!

The door opens to reveal Brad Pitt, Chow Yun Fat, and Mohammed Ali.

*Guest star applause

Brad Pitt: Good afternoon Dr. Seaver. My friends and I thought maybe a couple of famous faces would help raise a few extra dollars for your charity baseball game today. What do you say?
MS: Charity?
JS: (Aside to Mike) Just go with it.

*Laughter

JS: Of course you boys are more than welcome to join us! Have a seat for now. We'll start game planning in a bit.

The guest stars are seated as the doorbell rings again.

JS: I'll get it!

Dr. Seaver opens the door and finds John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Baldwin, John Henry, and Hannibal of Crete on the other side.

*Guest star applause

John Adams: Greetings Dr. Seaver! Surely a few historical figures will boost the popularity of you baseball game!
JS: Naturally! Glad to have you all, just make yourselves at home.

The historical figures and the celebrities strike up a conversation. Shortly thereafter, the doorbell rings again.

JS: I'll get it!

This time it is Adam Hernandez, and he is holding a trophy.

*Standing ovation

Adam: I have a delivery for Jason Seaver. Here's the MVP trophy you ordered, and here is you name engraved on it, just like you asked for.
MS: Daaaad!

*Laughter

JS: This must be some kind of mistake. I didn't order a trophy, I ordered an all-star shortstop! What do you say, kid? Are you in?
Adam: Quite frankly, I'm not sure that I have much of a choice.

*Laughter

JS: Great! Welcome to the team! (Aside to Adam) You can just put that trophy on the mantle when you walk by.

*Laughter

Adam: Sigh, whatever.

*Laughter

Adam sets the MVP trophy atop the Seaver's fireplace and mingles with his new teammates. The doorbell inevitably rings for a fouth time.

JS: I'll get it!

Dave Grohl, Katy Perry, Sporty Spice, Joan Jett, and Robin Thicke appear at the front door.

*Guest star applause

JS: If it isn't my distant cousin Robin Thicke and his musical friends! Are you guys here to play too?
Dave Grohl: We have heeded The Call!
Joan Jett: Rock and roll!
Katy Perry: ROAR!
Sporty Spice Zig a zig zaa!
Robin Thicke: I believe these daft c*nts mean to say we're in.

*Laughter

JS: Alright gang, looks like we have ourselves a ball club! Let's get...
MS: No! Dad, I refuse to be associated in any way with someone who makes the choice to live an alternative lifestyle! Burn in Hell Joan Jett!

*Oooooooooooo

Mike Seaver races up the stairs to his bedroom.

JS: (looks into camera) There he goes again!

*Uproarious Laughter

Jason Seaver climbs the stairs to speak with his son. He opens the door to find Mike furiously scanning his Bible to find spiritual strength.

JS: Son, listen to me. I...
MS: No dad, you listen. You knew my beliefs wouldn't allow me to play with that lesbian, but you didn't care. Noooooo, it's always about your big comeback, and nothing else matters! Some father you are!

JS: Your beliefs? Of course that's it. How could I be so insensitive? I'm sure it has nothing to do with what's in your closet, right son?
MS: I... don't know what you're talking about dad.
JS: Of course you don't.

Jason Seaver walks over to mike's closet and slowly opens it.

MS: Dad! No!

The back of the closet door has a vintage Joan Jett poster hung on the back.

*Gasp

JS: Seems like someone's taking their old crush's alternative lifestyle a little too personally. I think when she turned to the other side, you also took a pretty drastic turn with your own personal feelings. Am I right?

Mike Seaver hangs his head for a moment before lifting it with a slight smile on his face.

MS: I guess I did go a little overboard, huh dad?
JS: Maybe a little

*Laughter

MS: Well, if I'm going to cherry pick the Bible to suit my own ends, maybe this time I'll start with 'Love thy neighbor'.
JS: Atta boy.

Jason Seaver puts his hand reassuringly on his son's shoulder.

*Awwwwwwww

The father and son duo descend the stairs and find all the players gathered to greet them at the bottom.

MS: I wanted to apologise to all of you for my outburst, and especially to you Ms. Jett. I guess I was the one being a bit of an abomination, huh?
Joan Jett: Hey kid, no harm, no foul. Besides, we all heard you two talking upstairs. That must have been some crush if you went that extreme to the right!
MS: Um...er...uh...

*Laughter

Adam: Can we please get on with this thing? I don't have all day for this sitcom BS.

*Laughter and standing ovation

JS: Okay, okay... Gather 'round everybody! On three. One... Two... Three.
Everyone: GO TEAM!!!!

*Applause

The gathered Commandos leave together and head to the local sandlot. A screen wipe is used to show the passage of time. Jason and Mike Seaver burst through the front door and quickly slam it behind them. Their clothes are torn to shreds and both have various minor wounds.

JS: Well THAT went well.

*Laughter

MS: Gee dad, ya think?!? Which part? Was it when you threw a meatball right down the pike to Tom Brady who proceeded to knock it out of the park? Or was it when they took their one run lead and released their Warwolves to eviserate our team?

*Laughter

JS: Sorry if I wanted to stick it to that pretty boy Tom Brady. How was I to know he was good at baseball, too?
MS: Dad, he was drafted by The Montreal Expos back in the day!
JS: Well excuuuuse me!

*Laughter

The doorbell rings a final time.

JS: I'll get it!

Tom Brady, he team captian of the Grindhouse appears before them.

*Guest star applause

JS: Tom Brady? You've got a lot of nerve showing your face around here, Mr. Superbowl! You got your one run, then decided to kill us? Veeeery sporting!

*Laughter

Tom Brady: Yeah... Sorry about that, guys. I felt really bad winning like that, and I just came by to apologise. I've seen the error of my ways and from here on out, Tom Brady's playing by the book!

*Applause

MS:Wow, that's great Mr. Brady! I guess everyone learned a little something about being a better person today!

Tom Brady: Not really. I just needed a reason for you to open the door so the Warwolves could finish you two off.

*Laughter

The Grindhouse's Warwolves waste no time barging into The Seaver household to finish the job on Jason and Mike. The Seavers' blood begins to coat the room. Swiftheart Rabbit hops up to a smiling Tom Brady.

*Guest star applause

Swiftheart: Gee Mr. Brady, can you ever win without cheating?

Tom Brady ponders the question for a moment.

Tom Brady: Nope!

*The crowd goes wild with laughter and applause
