The Playoff Planet. Once a vibrant place, bursting with
life. Lush terrains, beautiful deserts and plentiful oceans full of wondrous
creatures. Now the planet is nothing but a tomb. Only, unlike a normal tomb,
this planet has nothing inside of it. Now it is a barren wasteland, full of
just one thing, emptiness
Paul Atreides stares out at the wasteland, wondering where
his Sandworm will go. The Highness’ Sandworm just lies, squirming on the empty
planet landscape, unable to move. Paul stares at the poor beast, thinking of
something to fix this issue when before he can even lift a finger, the head of
the beast is blasted away by Red Sun Superman’s heat vision. Paul, who never
anticipated this so early in the fight, attempts to use his sight on the
Kryptonian but is never fully able to focus on the TEAM member before he is
ripped in half by the Incredible Hulk.
TEAM comes out of the gate like gangbusters, but is soon met
with somebody not exactly their size in Yoda. Yoda rushes the Incredible Hulk,
striking him with his lightsaber, which is actually managing to cut through the
skin of the green behemoth. Superman rushes in and sends a blast of heat vision
directly at the tiny Jedi, which knocks him to the ground, losing his
lightsaber in the process.
Yoda quickly regains his balance and within seconds, is back
to defending himself. Only this time he is not alone. Coming in to even this
fight are Batman, Barry Allen and Apollo. The Incredible Hulk is immediately
overwhelmed, forcing him to jump as far away as he can from the melee. Superman
takes flight over his foes, sending heat blasts down to the ground, making very
little contact with the Highness members.
A Rumble from below the ground is felt and a huge crack in
the hardened floor breaks open to reveal the Final Fantasy super boss known as
Emerald Weapon. Immediately the FF boss is sending Emerald Beam’s and Emerald
Revenge shots at his opponents, who are caught completely by surprise. The
Emerald Beam knocks Yoda and Batman down to the ground but Barry Allen is able
to get away. Apollo had since taken flight to follow after Superman, where they
began simultaneous attacks on each other.
Yoda gets up once again and directly attacks the FF
character, stabbing his lightsaber directly into the gut of the very powerful
creature, weakening it with every second the blade is inside. From out of nowhere,
Captain America comes flying in on Comet the Super Horse, blasting the most
powerful of all Jedi once more to the ground. Iron Man follows directly behind
his Avengers teammate and makes quick work of Batman, who was never able to
fully recover from the Emerald Revenge attack.
Tony Stark: The Batman of DC my ass! At least I am more than
willing to kill somebody you sociopathic freak.
Iron Man’s sarcastic reign is quickly put to rest as Barry
Allen grabs hold of the Philanthropic Billionaire and races him around the
planet so fast that his suit is unable to quantify the speeds that they are
traveling at, rendering him unable to breathe, therefore killing him.
Barry Allen: Seventy Five years and still all you guys have
been able to come up with is Quicksilver, shame on you Tony.
In the sky Superman and Apollo go at it as only two god-like
creatures are able to. Both of them sending blasts at each other, only to miss
by inches each time. Superman and Apollo continue to fly at each other, trying
to gain an edge that does not seem to ever come. That is until Unicron fully
completes an eclipse of the Playoff Planets star, creating darkness on the
planet. Apollo, whose power comes from the Star slowly begins to lose his power
and eventually finds himself weakened to the point of being unable to fly any
longer. This makes him begin to head down to the surface, but not before
Superman is able to get a handle on the situation by grabbing hold of his
opponent and sending him straight down to the ground. The impact of the
planet’s surface on his skull is devastating, taking his life away from him for
the remainder of the fight.
In the darkness of the planet, the remaining fighters try to
find a way to see while knowing that their opponent could have already figured
out a way to see their way through this fight. Yoda, who normally would use his
lightsaber to get through a fight, has decided to keep his weapon at his side.
Instead, the Jedi Master has decided to use his knowledge of the force to
detect the enemy’s around him.
Superman, like Yoda, has decided to use alternate means to
detect his opponents. Only instead of the force, he uses his infrared vision to
detect the heat signatures of the Highness members. This naturally gives him
the advantage, as he is now able to see Barry Allen in his hyper-speed form. He
flies over to Captain America who is blind to the fight and tells Comet to fly
towards a specific spot. He then tells the Captain to throw his shield towards
a specific spot in Three, Two, One, Go!!!! The Captain’s shield hits Allen in
the head, sending him crashing down into the brick like ground of the planet’s
floor. Allen who still does not know what has hit him is unable to regain his
composure before he is met with the Kryptonian, who takes care of Allen by
ripping his throat out Roadhouse style.
Yoda senses his teammate’s demise, realizing it is time to
enforce his plan with the Q members in the Death Star above. In the darkness of
this place, the light from the Death Star above is very easily seen and before
Superman or any of his teammates are able to escape, the Death Star sends a
blast towards them that completely destroys the entire Playoff Planet once and
for all. The blast leaves nothing but small chunks of debris in its place.
Superman, Comet, Emerald Weapon, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America and Yoda
himself have all been obliterated in the attack, leaving the remaining members
of this fight to the other planets in the space outside of the former playoff
home world.
Unicron does not take this attack lying down (though
technically because of the nature of space, you could maybe make the argument
that Unicron is always lying down, but I digress) as he sends a massive blast
towards the Death Star, completely destroying it as well.
The remaining Highness members look upon the space in which
the Death Star used to occupy and realize the fight will likely be coming down
to them on the surface of Mogo. Mr. Fantastic looks down in his hands to make
sure the Ultimate Nullifier is still in his possession, he knows how crucial it
may be for his team to come out of this contest alive.
Mr. Fantastic: The final report from Q2 told me that the
remaining members of The Egomaniacal Ass Munchers all remain inside of Unicron.
Good Luck Bear: Sorry to interrupt Reed, but what are The
Egomaniacal Ass Munchers?
Mr. Fantastic: I don’t understand the question. Do you mean
who is still left of their team?
GLB: No I mean, who are you referring to?
Mr. Fantastic: Our opponent’s. It took me some time to
figure out what TEAM stood for but I finally figured it out.
GLB: No offense but I highly doubt that is what it stands
for.
Mr. Fantastic: Look, am I not the smartest person in this
league?
GLB: It’s debatable but I suppose.
Steel Doomsday: ENOUGH! Here they come.
Lead by Thor and Supergirl, the remaining TEAM members make
their way down to the surface of Ego, setting up for one final bloodbath on the
planet’s beautiful surface. Ego is shooting off surges of green energy at the
incoming combatants, blasts that are ending the lives of multiple TEAM members.
Streaks the Super Cat was only able to take a few hits
before being blown to green mist. The same could be said for Volstagg, who
despite his Asgardian resistance to attacks, was still overwhelmed by the blasts.
Thor and both Black Lanterns were able to defend themselves against Mogo’s
blasts, but it still took a lot out of them to put up the defense. Unicron,
always aware of this teammates circumstances gave them much needed cover as he
mounted his own attack against the Green Lantern power battery, sending blast
after blast into the center of the planet.
Despite Mogo’s great power, Unicron’s attacks were beginning
to injury him so instead of focusing his attacks on the single TEAM members, it
changed its target to Unicron itself. The attacks from both planets were
brutal, making the surface of Mogo a little unstable at the moment.
Mr. Fantastic spoke to the Doomsday crew as they awaited the
oncoming onslaught from TEAM.
Mr. Fantastic: I need to find a way of getting inside of
Unicron. With the Ultimate Nullifier I can once and for all end that dreadful
robot’s life.
Ronan the Accuser: Leave that bit to me Reed. (Looking at
the Doomsday’s) Go take care of them. (Pointing to Thor and the bunch)
The Doomsday crew all smile as they took off for TEAM
members, who had no idea what was about to hit them. Hogun and Fandral both
found themselves in a fight with Cyborg Doomsday, who easily dispatched of the remaining
Warriors Three. Sif looked stunned at this development, though it did not slow
her down as she took on the Cyborg head on, in a fight that would not end so
quickly. The Black Lantern version of Darth Vader joined Sif in her attack and
despite the fact that the Cyborg Doomsday was able to take care of her friends,
this fight would not find himself with such luck. Vader used his ability with
the force along with his Black Lantern ring to obliterate the cyborg creation,
ending his life.
BL Darth Vader: This is what passes for a cyborg these
days my lady, what a shame.
Sif: Vader, watch yourself!!!
Doomslayer rushed up behind Vader and crushed his ring
wearing hand, sending the Sith Cyborg crumbling down into a pile of black
powder.
Doomslayer: A shame indeed. Now my lady, let me do the
honors.
Thor: Sif, I think you need this more than me right now.
Thor throws Mjolnir to Sif and she uses it to deflect the
massive hit from Doomslayer, sending him right to the ground.
Sif: Thanks lover. Now where was I?
Sif then proceeds to pound Doomslayer into the ground until
there is nothing left of him.
An ear piercing roar is heard in the background as Godzilla
makes his way towards the fight. Sif throws Mjolnir back to Thor as he makes
his way towards the massive beast. Supergirl and Ragnarok join Thor in his
attack, hoping it will be enough to take it down. Godzilla opens his great
mouth and coats the ground in front of them with his radioactive blasts. All
three TEAM members manage to avoid the blast but make very little headway
towards the mighty lizard. They each attempt to attack him to no avail.
Nearby, Black Lantern Incredible Hulk and Thunderstrike both
take on Steel Doomsday and Superboy Doomsday. The fight is intense but when the
dust settles, Superboy Doomsday is the only one left. Though he is injured, he
is still able to make his way over to Sif for one more fight.
Thor and his teammates continue to fight the Godzilla, a
fight that has already seen Supergirl succumb to the giant beast.
Mogo and Unicron continue to send Death Star like blasts at each
other, making the planet even more unstable to stand on. One of these blasts
from Unicron actually shakes the surface enough to cause Godzilla to fall over,
a fall that left him vulnerable just long enough for Thor to crush the
creatures head into the ground for the very last time.
Mr. Fantastic and Ronan, who had already made their way up
to the Helicarrier, had decided that their friends needed a little help from up
above. Ronan using the weaponry of the carrier accompanied with his Universal
Weapon, sent a blast down to the core of Mogo.
Mr. Fantastic: Ronan, what are you doing?
Ronan: My apologies Mogo, but this is the playoffs and it
has to be done.
The blast not only kills the Green Lantern power battery but
also destroys everything on the planet’s surface.
Ronan: Hold on Reed, time to finish this match off once and
for all.
Ronan teleports himself and Reed to the center of Unicron,
where the massive Transformer has ceased firing on the now dormant Royal
Highness planet.
Ronan: Now Reed, I believe you have something to give this abominable
robot.
Reed then pulls out the Ultimate Nullifier and raises it up
into the air. At first nothing happens and then out the nowhere, a laugh is
heard that reverberates throughout the entirety of the massive robot.
Michael Demuirgos: (Laughing still) The Ultimate Nullifier.
My brother once called me by the exact same name. A cute nickname for a piece
of technology that claims to carry with it the power of a god. I wonder what it
would do against an actual god.
Reed then finds himself unable to hold the device any
longer. He then drops it into the body of the transformer but before it lands,
it disappears into thin air.
Michael Dermuirgos: Alas, not very well I see. (Laughs) Now
Reed, let’s see how you do against an actual god.
Reed suddenly finds himself unable to think as his head is
filled with the sound of a thousand dying worlds, screams that make him drop to
the ground. Blood spills out of every pore in Reed Richards body, immediately
killing him.
Ronan the Accuser: (Laughing himself) Parlor tricks Michael.
Now let me see what you can do with somebody your equal.
Ronan then uses his Gauntlet’s to freeze the interior of
Unicron, suspending the robot completely in place. Michael then creates
multiple illusionary versions of himself, forcing Ronan to attack in every
direction. The attacks and the illusions go on for a while until finally
Michael appears behind Ronan. Michael then uses Ronan’s gauntlet against him by
freezing his Exo-skeleton armor to the point of no return as it shatters. Ronan
then turns around and stabs Michael through the chest, impaling him with a
fatal blow.
Michael’s acid blood covers the platform they are standing
on as well as spraying acid on Ronan himself. Ronan begins to laugh as Michael
begins to fade away.
Ronan: You may have injured me Michael, but as I have proven
to more than one “So-Called God” in the past, nobody gets the best of me.
Michael: (Coughing up blood and fading fast) You very well
may be a God like me Ronan, but if there is one fault the both of us share, it
is our inability to see past ourselves.
Ronan: And why would you consider that a fault?
Michael: (With his final breathe) Because, if you could see
beyond yourself (coughs) you would have realized that (coughing up more blood)
there was one survivor left on the planet’s surface down below.
Ronan: (Laughing hard) A Survivor!?! Nobody could have
survived…
Before Ronan was even able to finish his sentence he was met
with the blunt end of Mjolnir, a shot that knocked Ronan off of the crumbling
platform and into the vacuum of space. Thor then took Mjolnir and knocked the
ice off of Unicron with successive crashes to its inner hull, waking up the
massive robot.
Thor: Wake up Uni, it’s time to show this God what a true
warrior can do.
Unicron then sends a single pointed blast at the falling
Ronan, overloading the king of the Kree soldiers until he is nothing but
another speck of dust in the cosmos.
Thor: Very well Unicron, I suppose a victory will be an
acceptable prize for our duty today. Now let’s go back and mourn our fallen
brothers, for this fight is only just the beginning.
