Match Location: Cloud City (they better be able to fly)

What an FFL match we’re gonna have here today!! 

It’s been a little over 7 months since i’ve watched a match, glad to be back, time to shake off the rust and get this match started. We got heavy hitters on both sides of the field (Cloud City) today. 

It’s gonna be a good one.

The Washington Football Team is going with a lineup containing the Full Spectrum today, while the Horsemen played multiple Kryptonians and the Infinity Gauntlet.

The Washington Commanders start this match by having their Full Spectrum + OA Guardian sit back and prepare themselves for the power they have obtained from their ring bearing companions. Washington sends out the rest of its team to attack the Horsemen head on in the clouds of Cloud City.

Star Wolf & ROB in an X-Wing with their teammates in the BatCopter, Tallyhawk & Serpenter in his Air Chariot take on Tulin, Jeff, Wedge & Biggs in their respective aircraft in a dogfight that rivals Top Gun Maverick in its coolness factor.

The Batcopter, Tallyhawk & Serpenter in his Air Chariot are taken out quickly by the awesome Wedge & Biggs combo. Star Wolf & ROB are stunned at how quickly Wedge & Biggs are able to take their teammates out. But the effect of the stun doesn’t last too long as Star Fox is an excellent pilot and gets behind Jeff with ease and takes him out using his X-Wing’s proton torpedo launchers. After Jeff is taken out, Tulin attempts to retaliate by shooting the X-Wing in the back with his bow and arrow, but it has no effect on the X-Wing other than a small scratch on the paint. This arrow gets Star Fox’s attention though as he quickly turns the ship around and scorches the wings of Tulin using the X-Wing’s laser cannons. Tulin has now lost the ability to fly and is falling in the sky to his death. Wedge and Biggs see their teammate falling to his death in the sky and focus their attention on the fox with pilot skills. Star Fox is initially arrogant towards Wedge and Biggs as their teammates have been so easy for him to take out. But he is quickly humbled as Wedge uses his A-Wing to distract Star Fox while Biggs gets behind him with his B-Wing. Biggs is able to knick one of the wings of the X-Wing with his bomber. Star Fox’s ship is weakened but still functional. He‘s able to take out Wedge in his A-Wing but not long after, Biggs gets his revenge and finishes off Star Fox and ROB. Biggs gets brief relief from the revenge as his ship is immediately burnt to a crisp by Zuko’s dragon.

While that dogfight was going on, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Nemesis Enforcer and the Black Dragons took on Red Hood and the Outlaws. The Transformers and crew proved to be quite the hassle for Red Hood and the Outlaws as Thundercracker and Skywarp took out Oogi and Red Hood. They then focused their attention on Arsenal and Starfire who were visibly struggling. Thundercracker was able to stun and knockout Arsenal causing his lantern ring to stop keeping him a float. He began quickly accelerating down into the clouds. Starfire dove down into the clouds to save Arsenal. She disappeared for what seemed like a minute, until she appeared out of the clouds with Arsenal in her arms. She was not able to wake him up, so she is visibly handicapped as she is not able to properly defend herself while carrying Arsenal. The Black Dragons, Nemesis Enforcer, Thundercracker and Skywarp are attacking all in unison trying to take her out. She is able to defend the initial onslaught but is getting exhausted quickly. Just as she was about to pass out from exhaustion, in the flash of an eye, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Nemesis Enforcer and the Black Dragons were taking out in a cloud of dust. After the dust settled, it was seen that Supergirl, The Eradicator and Zombie Superboy took the group of the Commanders out. Supergirl instructs Starfire to take Arsenal to a nearby building in the city and leave him to wake up while she joins the rest of the team in battle.

With Washington’s squad taking an early beating in this match, the lantern bearers have joined the rest of their teammates to help after getting the full spectrum prepared. 

Power Girl sees the lantern bearers appear and yells “Finally! We’ve been getting our ass beat out here while you guys were meditating, or whatever it is you guys were doing!” Sinestro disregards Power Girl’s comment and commands his lantern bearers to work together to defeat the Horsemen. 

Supergirl is cautious as Superman has warned her about how dangerous the Full Spectrum can be. She also remembered that Kal taught her that the only way to defeat a Black Lantern ring is to combine the powers of two rings. She calls out to her team “The Full Spectrum is dangerous and uses our emotions to defeat us. We need to keep an even keel throughout this match and work together if we want to…” Before she can even finish her sentence, Mongul rushes to attack using his Yellow Lantern Ring. Sinestro uses his White Lantern Ring to shoot an energy blast to take the Warzoon out with ease. In the midst of the explosion, Supergirl sees Mongul’s Yellow Lantern ring flash in her eye, she flies to it and picks it up before the dust settles. Sinestro is not aware that Supergirl has the ring in her possession. 

Once the dust settles, Sinestro calls out “Lantern Corp, attack with full fury!” The Lantern Corps attacks as one unified being and does devastating damage to the Horsemen. In one quick flurry, Sodam Yat uses his ring to create two huge arms and grab Starfire by her arms and legs to rip in her half. Sinestro creates a huge energy blast with his White Lantern Ring and destroys Orion in one fell swoop.The other lantern corps members and Power Girl attack the other Horsemen but thankfully the horsemen are able to defend and survive the first wave of attacks. Supergirl calls out to The Eradicator “GO GET ARSENAL’S RED LANTERN RING, STARFIRE LEFT HIM IN ONE OF THE NEARBY BUILDINGS!!” The Eradicator zooms off into the clouds to find Arsenal while the rest of the Horsemen hold their defense. 

Supergirl then goes to Apocalypse and says “Try and use your telepathic powers to take control of Power Girl, telepathy is a common weakness in Kryptonians.” Apocalypse responds with “I’ll try, but I’ll need someone to protect me while I do.” Supergirl then calls to Amazo “Amazo, use your mimic abilities to mimic Sodam Yat’s Green Lantern abilities and create a force field around Apocalypse to protect him while he uses his telepathic powers on Power Girl.” Amazo responds with “You got it boss.”

Amazo sets up the force field around Apocalypse as tries to take control of Power Girl. Eventually, Apocalypse is successful and gets her to attack her own teammates. She uses her laser vision to slice Zuko’s Dragon in half, then she grabs Air Zonk with her own bare hands and rips the tiny robot in half. Finally she uses her freeze breath to freeze and shatter Quasar’s Quantum Bands. Without those bands he loses his ability to fly and falls to his death. 

Sinestro calls to his corps “Someone figure out why Power Girl is attacking her own team!!” Carol Ferris notices that Amazo is using a shield around APocalypse while he sits there with his eyes closed. She calls out “Apocalypse is using telepathy Power Girl!!” Sodam Yat turns around and shoots an energy blast from his ring. Amazo notices but has to remove the force field from APocalypse to block the blast from hitting him. With Apocalypse without protection he stops his telepathy and continues on to the battle. 

Zombie Superboy is hungry and sees a floating bald man with white hair. He flies to the OA Guardian and eats him to satisfy his hunger. While he was focused on eating the OA Guardian, Power Girl swooped and snapped his neck from behind.

Agent Smith calls out to Supergirl “Going on the defensive this long sickens me!! I’m going on the attack.” Agent Smith charges towards the corps but Black Lantern Larfleeze combines his Black and Orange Lantern Ring to take out the fellow Black Lantern Ring carrier with ease.

Supergirl yells to Ultron “Damnit, we need to work together!! We can’t keep making these stupid decisions, the Full Spectrum is tearing us apart one by one!! Where is Eradicator with Arsenal’s Lantern Ring?!” Just as she finishes her sentence, The Eradicator swoops in from behind the Redskins, he flies into Scar’s back with full force and obliterates her into a million pieces without breaking his stride and stops right in front of Supergirl. He says with a smirk on his face “Did I hear my name?” 

Supergirl smiles and takes the Red Lantern ring out of The Eradicator’s hands “Go help the rest of the team in battle” she says. She then turns to Ultron and hands him Mongul’s Yellow Lantern Ring and Arsenal’s Red Lantern and orders him to combine the rings to take out Larfleeze. Ultron follows her commands and combines the rings. He flies to Larfleeze and hits him with an energy blast from his combined rings to take him out. Sinestro sees Larfleeze taken out and calls for the two rings to come to him. He now possesses the white, yellow, black and orange lantern rings.  

Sinestro uses the power of his combined rings and shoots Apocalypse with an energy blast. Initially, Apocalypse was able to absorb and endure the energy, but eventually, Apocalypse began to glow like there was a lightbulb inside his body, brighter and brighter until he exploded.

Supergirl and The Eradicator work together to try and take out Power Girl. After a fury of attacks from the duo, Power Girl is alive and well as she did a good job of defending herself. As she is about to go on the offensive, Amazo uses his mimic powers to temporarily override and shut down Power Girl’s abilities. She begins to fall as she’s lost her power of flight. As she’s falling Supergirl grabs her by her arms and The Eradicator grabs her by her legs and fly in opposite directions. Ripping the Krytponian in half. 

Sinestro is sick and tired of Amazo’s mimic abilities and destroys him using his powers from the multiple rings in his possession.

Supergirl and The Eradicator continue their offensive streak and fly towards Dex-Tar. Dex-Tar shoots an energy blast at them but they endure through the blast until they reach the Lantern bearer. The Eradicator gets behind Dex-Tar and pulls his arms back while Supergirl pulls his lantern ring off and then punches through the neck of the ringless Dex-Tar. While the Kryptonians were focusing on killing Dex-Tar, Sinestro was able to call the red lantern into his possession.

Ultron and the rest of the Horsemen join Supergirl and The Eradicator on the offensive as they have gathered momentum heading towards the end of this battle. Ultron uses his Power Stone to destroy Saint Walker & Indigo One & Munk. Sinestro is able to retrieve the Indigo Lantern Ring from Indigo One but Sodam Yat retrieves Saint Walker's Blue Lantern Ring. Sodam Yat with now immense power carrying both a Green and Blue Lantern Ring shoots energy blasts at Supergirl & The Eradicator that are just too strong for the Kryptonians to handle. They both fall to their death. 

Now it's just Ultron by himself against Sinestro, Sodam Yat, & Carol Ferris. The trio shoot an energy blast in unison towards the Artificial Intelligence being, but just as the energy blasts are about to strike him, the blast starts moving backwards towards the trio of lantern bearers. Ultron is using his time stone to go back in time. The battle reverses back to just after Indigo One & Munk and Saint Walker die, but right before Sodam Yat get’s the Blue Lantern ring in his possession. Ultron then uses his Red and Yellow Lantern Ring to call the Blue Lantern Ring into his possession but just as he’s about to receive it, Sinestro uses the power of his many rings to overpower Ultron and get the Blue Lantern Ring into his possession. 

Sodam Yat was focused on the power struggle over the Blue Lantern Ring and left himself vulnerable to the two Kryptonians. Supergirl and The Eradicator used their laser vision to cut an X through Sodam’s body. Sinestro also calls for that lantern ring into his possession. Now it’s just Sinestro and Carol Ferris left against Ultron and the two Kryptonians. 

Sinestro orders Carol “Give me your Star Sapphire ring, I’ll combine the powers of all the rings to take these guys out” Carol uses her ring to get to a nearby building balcony and begrudgingly gives Sinestro her ring. Sinestro then combines all the powers of the rings and shoots one large energy blast to the Horsemen. The Horsemen respond, with laser vision from the Kryptoniains and a combined energy blast from Ultron’s power stone and the yellow & red lantern rings.The energy blasts from the opposing teams meet in the middle as they push back and forth on each other. One not able to take over the other, eventually the energy blasts create a huge explosion.

The dust settles and it can be seen that the explosion killed Ultron, Supergirl and The Eradicator from the Horsemen and Sinestro from the Washington Redskins. 

Carol with a sigh of relief says “Finally, … it's done.”

She turns around and walks towards the door of the balcony, as she grabs the door she is struck in the center of her back with an arrow and falls to her death. 

Arsenal had woken up from being unconscious and hit her with an arrow from a nearby building rooftop.     

David Byrne's Meat Suits Vs. Dolla 49 McRibs

 David Byrne's Meat Suits are Galactus and his Herald David Byrne, Hank Henshaw (w/ a yellow lantern ring), Hal Jordan, Scarlet Witch, Jade, Wingspan, Airbender #1-4, Black Beetle, Power Ring, Slippy Toad in a Jedi Starfighter, Capt. James Tiberius Kirk, Enterprise Lt. #1-2, & Enterprise Crew #1-5 in a Space-X Rocket, Atrocitus, Guy Gardner, Bill Cypher, Avatar Korra, Omnius in a Stealth X-Wing, Black Lantern Star Sapphire, Vampire Star Sapphire, Black Lantern Goblin, Orange Lantern Ghost #1, Walker: Texas Ranger in a B-Wing.

Dolla 49 McRib is Bizarro Superman, Anti-Monitor, Dr. Fate, Dr. Strange, Wong, Knull, Zeus, The Spectre, Blue Beetle, Blackfire, Wonder Woman, Starman, Count Dooku & FA-4 in Dooku's Ship, ID-4 Alien #9 in a Flying Saucer, ID-4 Alien #10 in a Flying Saucer, & Sub-Ultron #3-5.  

Sup Fam, Joshatu the Bipp-Worthy here ready to rock this match in the beautiful Bespin clouds.  The bright Sun of the Anoat Sector is shining bright, with very little breeze and I am chilling with a fat Arturo Fuente cigar and a Colt 45 in honor of my by boy Billy Dee on top of an Eternian Air Centurion board getting ready to watch two squads throw down in some monumental air on air action in this historical gas giant.  

Let's start with the easy part.  We all know that I am an insane nit-picker of details; so we will commence with a chuckle as the teams appear and we watch several people from each squad fall out of the sky to who knows where.  For the Meat Suits I am watching the insanely powerful, yet land-lubbing Scarlet Witch do what she can to blast herself back into the air while she falls into the atmoshphere.  A valiant effort but epic fail.  I consulted the ultimate authority on all things Avatar (I asked Alex) and he assured me that only one air bender in the whole Avatar Universe could fly and that Korra and random Air Bender #1-4 ain't it (bummer because they were all at 9 deaths (looks like four random McRibs are about to get credit for sending some cats to the graveyard)).  Omnius:  The masterfully logical robot is not exactly known for his sense of humor; but he can't help but giggle at his own meat suit teammates falling to their doom, while he was given a shiny new Stealth X-Wing to fly around in despite being able to fly on his own.  As for The McRibs, Zeus initially looked like he was going to have the same issues as Scarlet Witch: But he was able to stay afloat by hanging out in the clouds and securing himself with lightning.  Watching him jump  around from cloud to cloud Mario and Luigi style is almost as much fun as watching some of the other peeps fall out of the sky.  Almost.  I have never seen a symbiote fly, especially unassisted by the floating capabilites of fantasy space; but Wikipedia says Knull can fly; so we are going to let it slide (and yes, Joshatu just used the royal we to describe himself before switching back to speaking in the third person).  As for Wonder Woman:  I know a bunch of you kids think she can fly because you have watched some DC Cartoons trying to make her out to be a large breasted Superman; but as a guy who has been reading comics since The Roosevelt administration; I got to tell ya......  She can't fly.  She wouldn't need an invisible jet if she did.  

Now that whoopsies are out of the way:  LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE.  Count Dooku in his environmentally safe windsail ship gets on the McRib Com to the other Leftist Warriors of Social Justice on his squad such as Blackfire (a liberal white girl, despite her blatant cultural appropriation displayed by her name).  They also enlist The ID-4 Aliens, Starman, and Wong to attack, deface, and draw Nazi symbols on The Space-X Rocket because they have been enticed to do so by their liberal sensibilities, the news, and Alex Soros, despite thinking Elon Musk was The Cat's meow just ten short months ago.  Omnius, controlling the Stealth X-Wing as good as any human ever has quickly moves to defend the honor of his fellow AI worshipping, humanity destroying future humanist Elon Musk.  Plus Jim Kirk is just a bro's bro and even a genocidal robot can't deny that.  The Independence Day Offworlders focus their green s*** at The Space X Rocket and it starts to take heavy damage causing Capt. Kirk to dramatically bounce around the inside of the spaceship; but Omnius in his Stealth X-Wing stealthily moves into position and Xes them both of my trusty notebook to my left.  Jim T.K. and the boys turn their craft to the left in a desperate and daring kamikaze move to crash into Dooku's Geonosian Craft, knowing that they were going down anyway after the damage they had sustained.  Lord Tyrannus, ejects out of the craft, leaving his droid to take one for the team and finds himself standing atop the doomed vessel.  Dooku is still pretty spry for an older fellow though and manages to force leap onto the back of The Stealth X-Wing and disable the thrusters with some aggressive negotiations via his ergonomically curved lightsaber.  Omnius, in a multi-armed robot form climbs to the top of the ship's hull, where Dooku quickly dispatches him with his Form 2 prowess in a way that would make any ancient ginaz swordmaster proud; before the ship and the Sith Lord plummet to their doom.  

Black Lantern Goblin is simply loving life, err afterlife, or undead life or whatever his new found existence may be.  As a dude who has known nothing but death, destruction, and killing his whole life basically the only difference is that now it is way easier to eat the bodies, souls, brains, and hearts of his victims.  Plus he can fly.  Talk about a win-win.  He is chilling in the open air with his three undead buddies when the three Sub-Ultrons show up to ruin their fun.  The Sub-Ultrons manage to combine multiple energy sourced weapons to take out The Black Lantern and Vampire Star Sapphires; but they can not finish the fight as Bee-El Gob and his brotha from anotha icky-mud-ground-womb Orange Lantern Ghost #1 take out the robot jerks.  

Bill Cipher, in all of his trillions of years of meaningless life states obnoxiously that he has never come across an individual so interesting and powerful as Dr. Fate.  So, he decides to invite Dr. Fate into a burning chaos where the two of them can enter the Nightmare Realm and finally die together.  

Galactus shows up to the match fashionably late after his trusty Herald David Byrne, in his fiery, floating "Talking Head" form told him that he could have a delicious tibanna gas snack by eating the gas giant Bespin.  He is met by the The Anti Monitor and The Spectre at his entrance where the foursome rudely interrupt a skirmish taking place between Bizarro Superman, who is taking on the unlikely partners Hal Jordan and Hank Henshaw.  The Anti-Monitor in a vicious display of power grabs a hold of David Byrne's forehead and instantly overpowers the cosmic programming of Galactus.  He not only enslaves Byrne and returns him to his natural weakened human state; but then commits the unthinkable, as he forces Dave to reunite with The Talking Heads and do a world tour of small venues charging a minimal fee of no more than $17 a a ticket.  The new age, 80s punk fans may have been thrilled; but his suffering before The Anti-Monitor finally allowed Byrne to die was immeasurable.  Galactus, in recompense for the terrible sins committed against his Herald, then swallowed The Anti-Monitor whole and then pointed the cosmic flatulence of his feast towards The Spectre disproving the over-powered nature theory of DC god-tier characters Vs. that of Marvel.  Hank Henshaw and Hal Jordan, like two old armed forces frenemies from different military branches will only refer to each other as "Green" and "Yellow"; but are working very good together against Bizarro.  Bizarro may have a power ceiling that outmatches either one of the lanterns; but not being retarded goes a long way.  They eventually are able to overpower the grey looking Superman thing; because teamwork makes the dream work.  

Atrocitus and Guy Gardner attempt to do a similar buddy good cop bad cop routine on Zeus and Dr. Strange; but it doesn't work out as well for the Meat Suits this time around.  Zeus shoves a lightning bolt up the butt of Guy Gardner just like the Sam Jackson/Die Hard 3 version of the character threatened to do to Bruce Willis, before frolicking away on to the next available okta of clouds.  Atrocitus is naturally angered by this and aggressively moves towards Dr. Strange; but The Sorcerer Supreme moves his hands around dramatically to make Atrocitus disappear.  The wizard is extremely proud of himself, so much so that he doesn't see Slippy Toad fly in out of nowhere and hit him with an advanced missile. 

Power Ring, Wingspan, and Jade team up because they read on Wikipedia that Knull is like super O.P.  And he probably is, I just don't like him because I am super old and I, like any good fanboy nerd prefer characters that came out when I was a kid or long before I was born and this Dude came out sometime around me getting a second divorce and throwing my back out the for first time.  Regardless, Knull shows up all powerful like and stuff and can't even decide if he should act like he is a Spider-Man villain, a Thor villain, or a Silver Surfer villain.  So, he does all three of them at once while tapping into his 642 powers or whatever and vanishes these three tried and true, super rad characters from my childhood so quickly that I can't even tell exactly what he did (so don't try and say I am biased against new comics).  

Black Beetle and Blue Beetle start duking it out something fierce and I have a front row seat to the mayhem.  I could give you the play by play on the action, but instead will go the philosophical route and say that they are really putting pressure on the culture and testing the pulse of the modern political landscape by asking the question of whether or not it is black lives or blue lives that matter.  Me, an intellectual of course knows that the answer is neither and have no problem watching  them destroy each other.  

 The remaining members of both squads double back and regroup with one another and then when they realize there really isn't anywhere to go in this setting they start flying in fast towards each other.  Walker:  Texas Ranger, whom I was originally going to have die in the first act because I know of no canon inference that would make anyone think he was capable of piloting a B-Wing leads the way for The Meat Suits.  He is of course still here, because when I attempted to move towards his B-Wing at the beginning of the match to let him know my opinion, Walker looked me in the eyes and threatened to round house kick me in the face; so I let it slide.  Now that we are well into the match, it would appear the Texas Ranger is doing a Hell of a job in the cockpit.  The McRibs take up a defensive position while Zeus provides some cloud cover and his four flying teammates surround him.  Wong and Blackfire become locked in a pitched battle against Hank and Hal, while Galactus decides to showcase his jealousy of a new O.P. Marvel villain after being the top dawg for so many decades and completely disintegrates Knull.  Slippy Toad, blasts through the clouds in a search for Zeus with Gee-El Gobs and The Orange Ghost as his wing men on either side (literally just hanging on to the wings of his Jedi Starfighter).  Zeus seemingly comes out of nowhere to deliver two simultaneous lightning bolts to The Black Lantern Goblin (one CC and one CG).  These multiple energies destroyed him, while his Orange Lantern buddy met a similar fate when he tried to occupy the body of the god of Lightning but found that the being was far too powerful to allow that to happen.  Zeus, then ripped Slippy Toad directly out of the cockpit of The Jedi Starfighter and jumped in to take his place thinking he was about to have some real fun in this stolen steel air chariot; but the Gonk Droid in the back went into self-destruct mode after Slippy was thrown from the vehicle which ignited the ship, including the hyperdrive which caused an enormous enough bang to send Zeus back to Elysium.  Starman has hit Walker's B-Wing with an especially nasty bit of energy from his cosmic rod that has taken the Rebel Ship out of commission; but Walker has leapt out of the vehicle to upper cut Starman's head off.  Walker, I assumed would have instantly fallen to his death; but thus far is keeping himself airborne by repeatedly roundhouse kicking in a helicopter type motion.  Back to Wong and Blackfire Vs. Yellow and Green, which is still a skirmish going strong.  The two remaining McRibs focus all their magical and Tamaranean powers towards Hank Henshaw which mix together well against the Cyborg-Superman-Daxomite-Yellow Lantern Baddie.  Hank manages to grab a hold of Wong and rip him in two with his last burst of strength; but Blackfire is then able to finish him off with an intense blast of ultraviolet energy.  With Blackfire in a weakened state from defeating such a powerful foe Hal Jordan is able to defeat her with her biggest weakness.  Not a weakness against Tamaraneans; but against every woman in the galaxy when he uses his green energy ring to hit her with a giant burst of accountability.  Hal, then sweeps in and uses his energy ring to create a net and catch the roundhouse spinning Walker who thanks him stating that he "wasn't sure how many more hours he could keep that up".

Week 3: TEAM vs Scar Jo's Leather Trash Pandas

TEAM: God Emperor Leto, Hasimir Fenring, Titan Cymek #1-2, Istian Goss, Moritani Soldier #1-15, Abulurd Harkonen, Yakub, Tom Bombadill, Beta Ray Bill, DC Thor, Tripticon, Chris Artrip w/ Inquisitor Lightsaber, Julie Artrip, Ella Artrip w/ Courtney Love’s Gun, Jack Artrip w/ Tanooki Suit, Ben Artrip w/ Ninja Star, Loki, Set, Chattari #3-6

Leather Animals: Thor, Adam Warlock, Paul Maud Dib, General Grievous, Zaheer, Ghazan, P’Li, Ming-Hua, Vision, Lucius Malfoy, Alia Atreides, Count Glossu Rabban, Duke Leto Atreides, Scytale, Avatar Roku, Tlaloc, Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother #1-10, Hrethgir #1

Duke Paul Muad’Dib Atreides, leader of this rebel squadron, stands at the forefront of battle at the command of Scar Jo’s word. “Wait… one second… pssssst, Lucius do the thing” Paul whispers. “Oh right, my duke…” Lucius turns his body, “AVADA KEDAVRA!” And just like that, the guy who emma describes as “slimy” has killed his own teammate, Duke Leto Atreides, so that Paul could have the rightful heir to the throne without contest. Naturally, Paul, who ordered the assassination, then slides his crysknife into Malfoy’s chest as payment for “justice”. It’s all very weird politics, but now the only person left to overthrow is Paul’s own son, God Emperor Leto… at least this one’s on the other team.

Considering Wallach IX is simply desert and remains of a long forgotten civilization, the other team, TEAM, saw all this unfold. The art of sneaking is simply not an option in this desolate setting. Therefore, an all out brawl occurs before our eyes. I could swear this fight was written and directed by Amazon based on how absolutely gorey it is. It’s chaotic, there’s limbs flying about, blood splattering everywhere, indistinguishable screams… chaos.

…

Some time later… after some well thought out canceling out of characters on each team…

…

The fighting has settled down, the sun begins to set. Some characters were worn down by the battle and died due to the climate rather at the hands of another character. Tripticon fell into this category because the metal machine simply got too bogged up by sand… L bozo transformer. All that is heard now are the deep breathing of the few remaining characters on each team…

God Emperor Leto leads Tom Bombadill, Beta Ray Bill, DC Thor, Chris Artrip, Julie Artrip, Loki, and Set.

Kwisatz Haderach leads Thor, Adam Warlock, Vision, Alia Atreides, Avatar Roku, and Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother #1-10.

The first to rest up and get back to their feet is Julie Artrip who begins frantically looking for her children. Too soon she finds their bodies, lifeless, “CHRIS!! HOW DARE YOU?!?! HOW COULD YOU NOT PROTECT OUR CHILDREN?!?! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!” Naturally, Chris is the one to blame for such a thing, and somehow with her itty bitty short body she is able to chokehold Chris into the air and snap the life from his neck. Then she goes into the ultimate fury and starts resisting the Reverend Mother’s voice and mows down half of them before Vision sends a beam through her heart. 

This starts a chain of events where Set snaps at vision. 

Thor Thunderbolts Set. 

DC Thor retaliates at Thor meaning Thor had killed Thor which in other words Thor died at the hands of Thor because Thor did the thing that killed Thor and now Thor is dead but also Thor is alive. 

But now Thor is also dead because Adam Warlock shoots through him which now it can be said that Thor is dead and Thor is dead and now no Thor is alive. 

Beta Ray Bill responds against the golden boy.

And then Roku ends Beta Ray Bill.

Tom Bombadill goes to stop Roku, but the being who is “master of wood, water, and hill” hath no more power here, for all that remains is the remains of this world. Instead, he walks away from the battle, disgusted with the state of this world.

Scar Jo’s peeps now need to overcome their biggest obstacle… the God Emperor. Before they could mount a proper attack, Leto’s tail whips around and strikes his father first. The Duke is truly dead. The remaining Reverend Mothers shout commands in the voice but they fall on deaf ears for they hold no power over the prescient being that is Leto who followed the Golden Path. The worm-like creature writhes around and tramples the common Bene Gesserit, as well as Avatar Roku. 

Although, Alia expected all of this to occur. She had prepped by covering herself in blood and hid amongst the fallen bodies so that Leto may look past her. And gosh darnit it worked because she just leaped out of nowhere and pushed a crysknife through the face of her own nephew…

Confusion sets in as for some reason the body is changing shape… oh my god it was Loki the whole time shapeshifted to appear as the God Emperor. The true Leto Atreides would never have fallen for suck trickery and comes forth to put Alia down. This was not the first rebel group that Leto has snuffed out, nor will it be the last.

One positive from this battle is that Tom Bombadill, with full control over his domains, has now started to repair the desolate world denoted as Wallach IX. Perhaps one day it will bloom into a new earth-like planet. Tom looks around to say, “I will call you… Middle Earth…”

Week 3: Grayson's Goobers vs Washington Redskins

 Grayson's Goobers Are:

Aragorn, Sheanna Brugh, Lady Jessica, Agamemnon and Juno, Shadow the Hedgehog (w/ The Chaos Emeralds), Espio the Chameleon, Legends Luke Skywalker (w/ a blue lantern ring), R2-D2, Black Knight, Alan Scott, Red Hulk, Sub-Zero, Crown Prince Raphael Corrino, The Padashah Emperor Shadam IV, Sgt. Slaughter w/ (Mercer, Taurus, and Red Dog), Hyperion, Samurai #8, Eternian Soldier #8-9, Badger Mole #1-5, Omnius Robot #1-15, Sandworm #1-10, Fedaykin #1-5

Washington Redskins are:

Sinestro (w/ The White Lantern Ring), Aayla Secura, She-Ra w/ Swiftwind, Skywarp, Kup, Yaddle (w/ Dwarf Ring #7), Even Piel, Dobby, Bat-Mite (w/ Dwarf Ring #6), Theoden King, Krillin (w/ Dwarf Ring #5), Teddy Roosevelt (in a Hammer Bros. Suit), Thundarr the Barbarian (w/ Princess Ariel, and Ookla the Mok), The Silverhawks: (Colonel Bluegrass w/ Sideman, Quicksilver w/ Talleyhawk, Steelheart w/ Stronghold, Steelwill w/ Rayzor, and The Copper Kid w/ Mayday), Darth Plaguis, Keiran Atreides, Walter Day, 

Padishah Emperor Shaddam and Lady Jessica stand in relative safety from atop a rocky clifftop over looking the battle. They mutter quietly to each other about plans as they look at the carnage below that has already taken place. Down below, their ten sandworms have been wreaking havoc upon the Redskins. Five were being ridden by Fedaykins #1-5 and have since fallen in battle. Aayla and Even Piel were able to take out one. The Silverhawks put in work to take out two with the help of She-Ra upon Swiftwind and Sinestro used his white lantern powers to control one of the sandworms into killing the other. Taking out as many sandworms as possible was a key strategy for the Redskins and they are thankful that their casualties, while significant, were not as great as they had feared. 

Still, five sandworms remain. Sheanna Brugh is trying her hardest to help guide and control the these but it is proving difficult even given her unique and gifted powers. While this chaos is going on, one character who enjoys chaos is gathering up all the rings he can. Shadow is rolling in circles and has managed to take out Bat-Mite and Yaddle and is chasing Krilin to complete his dwarf ring collection. Teddy Roosevelt is throwing hammers while Thundarr and his crew try to catch the speedy hedgehog. 

Dobby cowers in fear at the feet of Walter Day who stands in the center of the field of battle in his patented referee uniform quietly enjoying a bowl of soup. The duo has gone largely unnoticed by either team. 

All ground battles continue with some difficulty as many are being tripped up by the five blind moles that are scurrying underground causing our warriors to stumble and fall. Thrilling battles are taking place as Aragorn and Theoden King clash swords but are hesitant as neither wants to kill a friend. Sub Zero manages to freeze She Ra as she rides in the sky on her horse. She falls and shatters into a million pieces on the hard scorched soil. (hasta la vista, baby) Darth Plaguis and Keiran Atreides put in work taking out the GI Joe crew and go to work on the Eternian Soldiers. Atreides, seeing the back of the Crown Prince Corrino to him, uses this opportunity to attack and kill the young noble which gives the Goobers the window to finally finish off Plaguis. 

Teddy has managed to summon Swiftwind and mounts the steed. With his newly acquired gift of flight, he rides up the rocky outcropping to where the leaders of the Goobers stand. Jessica senses the attack and pretends to tie her shoe when Teddy emerges throwing a hammer to the skull of the Emperor. Jessica manages to get her crysknife into Swiftwind as it flies by and Teddy falls from his horse. The two wrestle briefly until Teddy hurls them both off the side of the cliff to their death. 

Skywarp and Kup take significant damage defeating Red Hulk and decide to charge at the two of the remaining Sandworms in sacrifice. Skywarp manages to jump into the gaping maw of one and explode, killing them both but before Kup can finish his off, Black knight uses his ebony blade to slice the legs off the autobot. Black Knight stands over him to finish the job and as he puts the blade to Kup’s neck, Kup manages uses his last bit of fuel to crush the marvel superhero into goo. Kup lets out his last breath of exhaust as the sand drinks up his oil. 

Now in the final minutes, Sinestro has taken out two more sandworms and now Sheanna can willfully control the last one without distraction. Sinestro opts to focus his efforts on regrouping with the remaining Redskins to try for a final attack. 

Theoden King, who finally decided to finish off his Dunedain Ranger buddy, has just finished stabbing the last Bader Mole. They were a little tricky but easy to see. Looking around to see who’s left he sees that only Himself, Keiran Atredies, Aayla Secura, Thundarr, Quicksilver and The Copper kid are all that is left to fall back with Sinestro.

They make a final charge at the Goobers. Who have Luke, R2D2, Hyperion and Alan Scott (as well as the Sandworm causing all the ruckus. Aayla clashes sabers with Luke and loses. Quicksilver is quickly dodging punches from Hyperion while the Copper Kid manages to use his technical skills to reprogram R2D2 into a bomb and programs him to return to luke. It’s his last act alive as Alan Scott busts his head open. Sinestro Returns the favor on Scott. Luke senses the disturbance in R2 and force pushes him out of the way. As R2 explodes, shrapnel takes out Theoden and causes the Hyperon and Quicksliver battle to briefly stop. Thundarr charges at Hyperon with his magical sword but instead gets a death blow to the head. Quicksliver and Atredies try to combine forces but are not able to get past Luke. Sinestro and Luke stare each other down. Sinestro tries to control the mind of the Jedi Master but the force is too strong. 

The screams of Dobby as the last sandworm devours him and Day flow unobstructed across the desert floor. In a split second of distraction, Sinestro looks back as his last teammates are being swallowed and feels the green lightsaber blade run through his torso.

Darkseid's Horsemen of Apocalypse Vs. The Sigmas

 Darkseid's Horsemen of Apokolips are Darkseid, Megatron, Decepticon #5, Apocalypse, Ultron (w/ The Infinity Gauntlet, Power Stone, & Time Stone), He-Man, Battle Cat, Amazo, Gannondorf, Dante, Alexander, Dinobot, Ancient Ginaz Swordmaster #10, and Neo-Cymek #10

The Sigmas are Duncan Idaho (w/ green lightsaber), Fremen #1-15, Sardakur #1-20, Gurney Halleck, Chani, Moneo Atreides, Bene Gesserit #1-10, Rhombur Vernius, Mad Cour, Zan Nooret, Nar Trig, Ecazi Soldier #1-15, Starscream, Ttanus, Melkor, Mr. Sinister, Super Giant, Aatrox, Vampire Sardakur, & Zombie Sardakur.

The Sun beats down hard on the ground of this place.  It feels somewhat like the Arrakis I have visited so many times in my long history as a Watcher for this league.  It is like a Arrakis; but not quite.  The air does not quite hurt the lungs as bad, the sand not as terribly dry.  One who has been on the true Dune knows the difference.  The sand is dry; but bare hands can still tell that it once contained moisture, or perhaps even just a memory of moisture is what is felt by these fingers as it runs through them.  Just a memory of rain that once fell here less than a few lifetimes ago.  Or is it just a memory, an acceptance of the knowledge that this place is a mere copy of the true home of Shai Halud??  

Only a sandstorm separates the two squads that have come here this day to do battle on this dune and give water to it.  As of now they are not yet fighting one another, just fighting their environment, fighting to find the fight, and fighting against the fear that their footsteps could bring forth a Maker, perhaps not a Maker the likes and size of which some here have seen to end them; but a Maker nonetheless that could still easily swallow the entire squad whole before they even have an opportunity to combat their enemy.

     A small break in the storm reveals figures in the distance making it just clear enough for both teams to realize that their enemies are not nearly as far away as they had thought.  They huddle together closely with their allies, knowing that battle is upon them.  

The teams converge around one another and several skirmishes instantly come to light.  The Vampire Sardakur isn't doing too good in this hot sun and the Zombie Sardakur is also not fairing too well with one of the metal tentacles of Neo-Cymek #10 through his head.  The Neo-Cymek, then joins with his even larger Titan Cymek brethren Dante and Alexander, along with Dinobot who have placed themselves in a defensive circle under orders from Megatron himself.  The four massive Horsemen (pun intended) eagerly await their challengers as they become surrounded by much smaller foes.  The battle begins as The Fremen, led by Chani and The Bene Gesserit, with whom she has a special relationship as well hang back a bit, intending full well to use their combined knowledge to make for an ultimate home field advantage scenario for The Sigmas.  Rhombur Vernius is moving slowly through the Dunes in his half metal, composite body but still takes on a leadership role in the charge against these abhorrent looking thinking machines.  He leads his family's lifelong allies The Ecazis, a man well-versed in the destruction of large robots Swordmaster Nar Trig, Super Giant, and of course the massive metal behemoth of their own Ttanus against the Titans and their allies.  This epic battle commences as something we are going to return to soon.

On the other side of the battlefield, The Horseman Megatron receives a secret communique from Sigmas member Starscream across a secret line wired directly into their sparks known only to high ranking Decepticons.  Starscream, who is secretly pledging his loyalty to The Decepticon cause is asking for a secret rendezvous with his former Commander.  Nearby, Darkseid and Melkor have found each other near a large rock outcropping.  As if their souls or whatever evil is in place of their souls has drawn them together.  They engage in a long staredown as they quietly move towards each other, both knowing that an epic battle of evil vs. evil is about to begin.  And, Hey........  Don't worry guys, we are going to come back to this and I'm not gonna do that thing I do sometimes where the two most powerful dudes from each squad get locked in a battle with each other and then join each other in death at the end.  I know that I have written a lot of matches for this league and that I have done that too many times.

Mord Cour stands at the ready, with his Harkonen blade drawn; but is caught by a powerful Power Stone laden blast from Ultron before he can properly put his talents to use.  

He-Man and Battle Cat find themselves surrounded by Sardakur.  The emperor's elite terror troops move in very slowly against The Eternian Prince.........

Apocalypse and Mr. Sinister get into a one on one skirmish to decide who the second best X-Men Villain truly is (don't worry, Magneto isn't here).  A pitched battle begins where it is decided early that telepathy isn't going to give either combatant an upper hand.  The resort to brute force which is something they both excel at as well.  Sinister holds his own for quite some time; but once Apocalypse grows to twice the size of his fellow mutant opponent he is able to come down on the neck of Sinister with a massive elbow to snap it in two.  

Ancient Ginaz Swordmaster #10 feels honored to do battle with the famous Ancient Ginaz Swordmaster Zan Noret.  It is a decent battle; but Zan proves himself to be one of the finest ever and defeats him.  Noret asks the swordsmen his name before he dies and then assures Gary that he will be remembered.  

Amazo stands confident even though he senses that he is surrounded by several human opponents.  They move stealthily around him as he attempts to gain a count of who and how many combatants are present.  Duncan Idaho along with his old friend Gurney and his future frenemy Moneo move swiftly and stealthily around Amazo tricking his sensors into thinking that there are more fighters than just three.  With no true powers to steal, only skill, speed, and their wits about them the three loyal members of House Atreides are able to dispatch The FFL Rookie.  

On a distant plain of Wallach IX, Starscream finally has his rendezvous with his Decepticon Leader Megatron and his lackey Decepticon #5.  Megatron speaks to his second in command saying:  "I am glad to see that you have come to your senses and that you wish to rejoin The Decepticon cause and pledge allegiance to The Horsemen.  We shall take you before Darkseid right away to get your orders.  "Of course Mighty Megatron, you know my programming could never betray what is best for the cause  of The Decepticons.  Lead the way".  Megatron, knowing that Starscream is speaking the truth in regards to Decepticon programming believes his Captain and starts flying towards the battle with Starscream behind him.  Starscream then transforms into his F-15 jet form and unleashes everything he has in his arsenal, perfectly aimed at Megatron.  Starscream, who has studied his leader for centuries, knows exactly where his weak spots are and takes down Megatron.  Megatron falls back to the ground screaming about Starscream's programming and that an absolute betrayal is impossible; but in the robot mind of Starscream, the best thing for the Decepticons is a deceased Megatron with Starscream himself at the helm of leadership.  Starscream finishes off Megatron as he lie on the ground with a double arm cannon laser blast to the face.  Decepticon #5 transforms into his attack helicopter mode to attack Starscream; but the former Cybertronian scientist quickly and easily dispatches the chopper.  

We now move to Gannondorf who approaches Aatrox just outside the rock outcropping where Darkseid and Melkor are still doing battle.  Now......  I realize that these are the two team owners very favorite O.P. baddies and that I could never possibly do a good enough job describing how epic the battle would be between the bane of Runeterra and the bane of Hyrule.  But please trust me when I tell you that it was basically the most epic video game cut scene fight that anyone has ever seen.  It was the ultimate video game commercial/trailer that made anyone and everyone who saw it just wish that somehow, someway the gameplay could actually be just like that visual.  In its conclusion, the former champion of Shurima lay dead next to the once King of Gerudo.  Their bodies only several yards away from the battered corpses of Darkseid and Melkor.  

Of Darkseid and Melkor...........

POGO:

Whoa, whoa, whoa......  Hey Joshatu the Long-Winded.  You specifically said you weren't going to do that this match.  That is just lazy writing; and now you are going to do it twice?!!?  You need to re-write that.

JOSHATU:

Damn IT Pogo!!  Who let you in here?!!?  Go back to your room.  The Survivor Series is over, you are done until next season.  You're off the roster.

POGO:

What??  You get lazy at Watching and I get the boot??  That's not even the least bit..........

<<<The Neon Master Pogo has been removed from the chat>>>.

 He-Man, despite being physically stronger than his opponents by quite a bit finds himself knocked off of Battle Cat, who is quickly gutted by the fierce group of Sardakur that surround him.  The Terror Troops converge on He-Man who is quickly put on the defensive.  In the recorded history of Princess Irulan, only one man ever was able to defeat 19 Sardakur at once.  That man was Duncan Idaho in defense of the lover and son of his Duke.  He gave his life in sacrifice for them by achieving this amazing feat.  It was 20 Sardakur sent here to defeat He-Man this day, but despite suffering cuts, bruises, and some other minor injuries The Masters of the Universe hero was able to stand victorious against them all.  Although technically, Battle Cat took out two of them with his razor sharp teeth while he was being killed, bringing He-Man's Sardakur kill total up to 18 today (we can't have him beating Duncan's record now can we).  

As the massive MCU-Esque battle rages on with all the giant robots, Chani, Fremen #1, and Bene Gesserit #1, whom have sent the other Fremen and Bene Gesserits into battle are having a sidebar in hopes to try and formulate a plan of attack against the metal monstrosities.  Chani speaks up saying:  "We have some great fighters here; but I sure wish we had a guy on this roster that grew up on a sand planet, hated sand, and could use his hate to make him powerful".  B.G. #1 nods her head and replies:  "I agree completely, it would really be nice if we could send someone in right now who would kill them all.  And not just the men, but the women, and the children".  "He could really HATE THEM" adds Fremen #1.  

The battle begins to change and tighten up; when Ttanus unleashes a fiery blast from his mouth towards Neo-Cymek #10 which melts his hull, killing the human brain inside.  The two Titans see this fearing that this could be their fate as well.  Dante and Alexander then combine all their firepower on the neck of Ttanus to take out the ancient Zord.  With The Sigmas big man out of the way, the smaller combatants move in close to swarm the Predacon and the two remaining Cymeks.  Dinobot uses his metal chompers to take a chunk out of the strangely named super-villain Super Giant and then goes to work on The Ecazi Soldiers.  The Fremen and The BGs (not the brothers Gibb, but the robed chicks) all converge on Alexander along with Nar Trig and Zan Noret who has just arrived to help out.  With fierce fighting and heavy losses, The Sigmas are able to break the brain canister of Alexander and kill the mighty Titan.  Nar and Zan both robot killing experts leap off the top of the now dead Alexander and move towards Dinobot who they double team and dispatch with perfectly placed vibro-blades into the spark of The Predacon.  The two swordmasters of Ginaz then finally meet their glorious end in battle when they are hit by a large, exploding projectile from Dante.  Rhombur is defeated by Dante as well when a razor sharp blade from the side of the Cymek slices him in two.  Chani, now the only remaining member of The Sigmas from The Four Horsemen skirmish begins to fall back into the Dunes from Dante as she notices Duncan, Gurney, and her descendant Moneo approaching.  Knowing that The Sigmas will have to regroup if they are going to take the day.

Apocalypse and He-Man join the scene of the battle to find only Dante left of their giant robot defense team.  While this is going on Ultron and Starscream are locked in a pitched dog fight in the sky above.  Duncan, Gurney, Moneo, and Chani decide that their is no time like the present to rush in and see what they can do hand to hand in a final skirmish against The Horsemen.  Starscream from the skies sees what his teammates are running into and decides to be a bro.  He flanks right, doubles back and fires all of his Cybertronian missiles into Dante, making contact with his brain canister and taking the Titan Cymek out of the equation.  Although this leaves Starscream open for attack as he is blasted to pieces by Ultron and the Gauntlet.  Ultron flies back down to the scene, landing in front of both Apocalyose and He-Man as if to protect the two muscle bound Horsemen from the four much smaller humans (more likely to take the glory for himself).  Chani and the boys move at break neck speed towards Ultron, surrounding him and working as an unmatched fighting unit.  Ultron moves towards the fastest of the four Moneo first and is able to catch him by the throat, squeezing until the neck cracks.  Ultron then delivers a metal foot to the face of Chani, while Gurney blasts out the knee of the robot with his Maula pistol allowing Duncan to remove the head of Ultron with his green lightsaber.  

The exhausted Duncan and Gurney still stand tall as the two remaining Sigmas ready to do battle against the two remaining Horsemen.  The Atreides loyalists fight bravely; but are simply mismatched, especially in their current state.  With relative ease, Apocalypse takes out Duncan and He-Man finishes Gurney.Darkseid's Horsemen of Apokolips are Darkseid, Megatron, Decepticon #5, Apocalypse, Ultron (w/ The Infinity Gauntlet, Power Stone, & Time Stone), He-Man, Battle Cat, Amazo, Gannondorf, Dante, Alexander, Dinobot, Ancient Ginaz Swordmaster #10, and Neo-Cymek #10

The Sigmas are Duncan Idaho (w/ green lightsaber), Fremen #1-15, Sardakur #1-20, Gurney Halleck, Chani, Moneo Atreides, Bene Gesserit #1-10, Rhombur Vernius, Mad Cour, Zan Nooret, Nar Trig, Ecazi Soldier #1-15, Starscream, Ttanus, Melkor, Mr. Sinister, Super Giant, Aatrox, Vampire Sardakur, & Zombie Sardakur.

Apocalypse and He-Man join the scene of the battle to find only Dante left of their giant robot defense team.  While this is going on Ultron and Starscream are locked in a pitched dog fight in the sky above.  Duncan, Gurney, Moneo, and Chani decide that their is no time like the present to rush in and see what they can do hand to hand in a final skirmish against The Horsemen.  Starscream from the skies sees what his teammates are running into and decides to be a bro.  He flanks right, doubles back and fires all of his Cybertronian missiles into Dante, making contact with his brain canister and taking the Titan Cymek out of the equation.  Although this leaves Starscream open for attack as he is blasted to pieces by Ultron and the Gauntlet.  Ultron flies back down to the scene, landing in front of both Apocalyose and He-Man as if to protect the two muscle bound Horsemen from the four much smaller humans (more likely to take the glory for himself).  Chani and the boys move at break neck speed towards Ultron, surrounding him and working as an unmatched fighting unit.  Ultron moves towards the fastest of the four Moneo first and is able to catch him by the throat, squeezing until the neck cracks.  Ultron then delivers a metal foot to the face of Chani, while Gurney blasts out the knee of the robot with his Maula pistol allowing Duncan to remove the head of Ultron with his green lightsaber.  

The exhausted Duncan and Gurney still stand tall as the two remaining Sigmas ready to do battle against the two remaining Horsemen.  The Atreides loyalists fight bravely; but are simply mismatched, especially in their current state.  With relative ease, Apocalypse takes out Duncan and He-Man finishes Gurney.
