Torch (Checkmate / Villains United) vs Mudkipz (Revenge Squad) Tournament Report Checkmate Headquarters - Location: Unknown. Maxwell Lord sits at the executive table in the conference room. He is sipping his coffee and watching the multiple viewing screens on the wall relating the state of the world today. There is an uncontrolled wildfire on the west coast of the United States. There are riots in the streets of Baghdad. One thing in particular catches Maxwell’s attention: reports of a tsunami off the coast of Africa. Before he has time to contemplate the situation Ahmed Samsarra enters the room and closes the door. He is holding a manilla folder in his hand. He walks over to the table across from Maxwell Lord and sits down. “Good morning, Ahmed. What is the latest?” “We have a situation Maxwell.” “We always have a situation. Where is it this time?” “Off the coast of Africa.” Maxwell sits up straight and turns off the wall monitors. He looks at Ahmed and takes another sip of coffee. “Go on,” he says. “At 0500 hours today we received information of a mining platform off the coast of Africa. It belongs to LexCorp.” Ahmed opens his folder and removes a few pictures. He passes them to Maxwell. “You’ll see in these photos that President Luthor arrived at the platform at 0630, and reports of a massive tsunami hitting the coast of Africa was reported at 1000 hours. We believe Luthor has something to do with it, but we need to get inside to gather the necessary intel.” “So assemble a strike team and send them out right away,” Maxwell says coolly. “Of course,” agrees Ahmed, as he removes two more photos from his folder. “However the manpower we need is not necessarily part of our organization.” He hands Maxwell two more photos. “I’m sure you recognize these two individuals. The first is Bizarro, and the second is Alexander Luthor.” “What are you trying to do here – assemble a team of imperfect duplicates?” scoffs Maxwell. “Please, allow me to explain. We need Bizarro’s strength to breach the perimeter and nobody knows the mind of President Luthor better than himself.” “So what do they want in exchange for their help?” asks Maxwell. “Bizarro has requested one pound of green kryptonite in liquid form. And Alexander Luthor simply wants us to obtain a ring from President Luthor, given to him by Batman. The kryptonite should not be an issue and the ring will be easily obtained once we’ve infiltrated the base.” Maxwell looks at his watch: 1300 hours. “Okay,” he says. Lets assemble the team and plan the assault for 2200 hours.” Time: 2130 hours. Location: LexCorp Mining Platform off the coast of Africa The sound of the helicopter is amazingly low. Which is perfect for a night assault. “Okay,” Maxwell says addressing the team. “We’re almost at the drop. Remember the plan – Sasha and Ahmed are going to setup just outside the perimeter. Then Bizarro will break through their defenses. I will follow behind Bizarro to gather the necessary intel, and then Alexander flies in armed to the teeth in power armor for cleanup. Any questions? No? Okay good. Let’s go.” As the assault team makes its approach they are met by none other than President Luthor. He has an elite squad of his own: Atomic Skull, Mongul, Maxima, and Preus. Luthor is the master of planning but Checkmate follows through with their namesake. Bizarro is an overwhelming force and Maxwell is able to infiltrate the base and gain access to its files, as well as obtain the ring promised to Alexander Luthor. And Alexander earns that ring – as he faces off with President Luthor in his own power armor! “I stole this armor from you,” Alexander growls, “how is it that you have it also?” “Fool!” scoffs President Luthor, “Did you think I didn’t have plans within plans for the likes of you?” Unfortunately, while the President accounted for Alexander Luthor and even Superman, he hadn’t accounted for Bizarro – and any green kryptonite in the area only fueled the imperfect clone. After President Luthor was soundly defeated, the Checkmate assault team was airlifted back to their headquarters to try and decipher LexCorp’s ultimate goals hidden within the valuable data they gathered. Winner: Torch (Checkmate / Villains United) |
