Horcrux #5 and #6 tipoff

The RIDDLE Coalition took care of Teddy.

Now they must continue to locate horcruxes.

Impalers vs Leviathans

THE IMMORTAL IMPALERS

vs.

THE INNSMOUTH LEVIATHANS

Coin Toss: Impalers win, will receive.

Kickoff: Wulfgar kicks for a pickup by Death, who nearly returns for a touchdown before being taken down by Famine.

Game Synopsis: This game sees a slightly tactically superior Impalers blow past the weaker defense of the Leviathans. Meanwhile the Leviathans "waste" time trying to injure members of the Impalers, only to learn that most are immortal and simply heal and return. The Leviathans do manage one death though: President Teddy's own teddy: His bear. 

Final: II 28 - IL 14

Horcrux #4 Tipoff

With the third horcrux discovered and destroyed....

...our mysterious friend returns with a tip for number 4.

Pandas vs Browncoats

THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT PANDAS

vs.

THE BIG DAMN BROWNCOATS

Coin Toss: Pandas win, will receive

Kickoff: Megaman kicks long for a pickup by The Cowardly Lion, who makes a large gain before being tackled by Gimli. 

Game Synopsis: The Browncoats are recovering from their loss last week of star QB and tactician Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and it shows this week. Without the foresight provided by him, the team falls behind as Hannibal leads the Pandas ahead. Both teams manage to get around the others defensive line. The Browncoats do so with pure speed, while the Pandas manage to outsmart. Though the Pandas do win, they also receive a bit of a setback off the field when a large machine enters from the stands and attacks Captain America. 

This creature then collects the shield from Captain and keeps it in a closed hand. Using the anti-fortress Noble Phantasm, the machine is destroyed by its pilot which also results in the destruction of the shield.

Final: SHP 31 - BDB 27

Season 3 Week 5 Interim Two: The RIDDLE Coalition destroys another horcrux

During the recent Crows vs Sentinels game, the Sentinels 

took a short detour to destroy their second horcrux. 

Once again our mysterious friend comes to give a detail for the third horcrux.

Season 3 Week 5 Interim: Horcrux Two

Back at it again, the RIDDLE Coalition is looking to pick up where they left off.

Sensing what the clue is in reference too, the following teams took the following actions:

As a result, the following exchange takes place:

FROM THE MIA:

The Holo of Wynn Dorvan fades, and Leia sits up in her comfortable office chair, lines of worry and stress etched in her face. 
"Okay R2, start recording..." R2 beeps a confirmation. 
"Greeting Mand'alor. I'v recently received word that you may be in possession of a dark artifact, referred to as a Horcrux. This artifact is dangerous, not only to you, but the the galaxy at large. Your recents elevated position as leader of your people would lead me to believe you would take this information seriously. This message is both a request, and a warning. We are both in positions of power in the grand scheme of things, and I'm hoping diplomacy, well, my kind of diplomacy will work to solve the problem at hand. If not, then the Senate, myself, and the majority of the HFL shall resort to your style ...

FROM THE SENTINELS

A lone Firespray-31-class scout craft and a familiar YT-1300 Correlian light freighter enter Coruscant's atmosphere, and enter the busy cityscape. Han Solo on radios on the comlink from his cockpit "Yes, this is Han Solo of the Cybertron Sentinels, I was given permission to land a few minutes ago from the traffic controller, what's the hold up?" A young and skeptic voice replies over the comm "How do I know it's really you? A lot of people can mimic voices these days" Han chuckles and replies "Kid, I've been saving the galaxy since before you were a twinkle in your daddy's eye, If you don't think I'm real, take a look outside your window and you'll see all the proof you need" . 

As the young captain looks out his window, the Millenium Falcon buzzes his tower, causing his coffee to spill on his desk. He sighs " Yes Falcon, you have permission to land, have a nice day" . "The price of fame, sometimes you just hate it" , a slightly annoyed Lando Calrissian, who has been sitting in the co pilot's chair the whole time, mutters. "It's not that bad" Han says, "I'm just glad he isn't begging for an autograph" . "Are you kidding? As far as HFL goes we're in the gutter, we need a win", replies Lando. "Hopefully that'll be soon, Lando, We've had some extra practice with help from the Asgardian Abberrations over the last week or so after all" . Optimus Primal smiles and simply says "Well that's just prime".

Shortly after, Han, Lando, Optimus Primal, and Boba Fett are in the main office of the Alderaan MIA. "I understand that this thing is of pure evil, I can almost sense the dark spark of Voldermont right here" , a calm and passive Optimus Primal exclaims. "We will hopefully take care of this artifact soon enough" Boba Fett replies.

FROM THE MIA

 Leia studies the faces in her office. There's her beloved Han, father of her children, hero of the galaxy time and again. The silent, helmeted stare of Fett, unnerving as usual. The sole reason they are here. Then there's the creature she's never met yet, towering over the other two, Optimus Primal. Lastly, the light hearted, good natured Lando Calrissian. She lets her eyes shift from one to the other, lingering on Han, and giving him a coy smile. She clears her throat.
"Gentleman, thank you for coming. We all know why we are here. So let's get down to business."
Her gaze shifts to Fett, and she shifts in her seat, sitting straight, and places her folded hands on her desk.
"I'm not exactly aware of the power of these artifacts, but I do know they are great indeed. Terrible, but great. As Optimus said, I too can feel the darkness within it." 
She points just beyond Fett.
"Your jet pack, Fett. That is the Horcrux. If any of you watched the Immortals game, then you witnessed one such Horcrux destroyed. Now, I have not the means nor the knowledge to destroy this one in such a way, but I do have a plan. I'm not sure if any of you know what The Maw is.."
Han shifts uncomfortably in his seat.
"... Except maybe Han. The Maw is, or more accurately, was Abeloths... prison, if you will. An abandoned sister space station of the one my late son Anakin destroyed, Centerpoint. The Maw is encircled by a series of super massive black holes. Centerpoint was the tool that kept these black holes in check. Once it was destroyed, one of the black holes shifted slightly, thus freeing Abeloth. That was very bad news when we found out about it, when we learned what Centerpoint, The Maw, and Abeloth was. But for us, now, this can be good news. Due to the resulting shift of one of the black holes, two are now "waring" with each other. The points of no return, where the gravitational pull is so strong there is no escape once you reach this point, are playing a sort of tug of war with each other. My plan, is to shoot this Horcrux into the center of these two points of no return, and let the gravitational pulls rip it apart at the cellular level. And no worries, Fett. I shall replace your jet pack, with one not tainted by any dark magics."
She falls silent, waiting for any objection, comment, or concern.

FROM THE LEAGUE COMMISSIONER

THE SENTINELS PLAY THE CROWS THIS WEEK, THE NEXT GAME. STAY TUNED TO SEE WHAT BECOMES OF HORCRUX NUMBER TWO. 

Season 3 Week 4 Interim Two: The Coalition Makes A Dent

(To catch up, read the previous posts for Interims and

then read the Week 4 game between the Impalers and Crows.)

Since being tipped off, members of the Coalition of the Killing - now calling themselves the RIDDLE Coalition (standing for Righting Inconvenient Deaths, Dealing Law Equally and referring to Voldemort's true name), began trying to decipher the cryptic clue left by the stranger. Mistakenly thinking it referred to the ring of the now deceased Green Lantern Hal Jordan, or to the newly drafted Aberrations star Parallax, the team made no headways. Until finally, the Winchester Bros. from the Impalers figured it out: 

Sam: "I don't think so. The riddle talked about a fearless fallen one. Maybe it's being taken to literally.

See, there are a bunch of different lantern types. The green ones here are supposed to be the guardians. Rumor has it one "fell" and made his own warriors, using fear instead of willpower as an energy source.
Each lantern group has it's own oath they swear by. Hal's was a more noble one, but these guys, they are more of a dictator ship. Their oath reads:
'In blackest day, in brightest night,
Beware your fears made into light.
Let those who try to stop what's right
Burn like my power Sinestro's might!'
My bet is, we find this Sinestro guy, we find the horcrux."
Dean: "Tell them where you got this tidbit here."
Sam: "Well, uh...comic books?"

So when the Impalers met up with Sinestro this week for their match against his team - the Crows, they had a plan. Dean Winchester made a sacrificial deal with the devil to be sent to Hell and for their fallen teammate Falkor to return. Falkor bit off and spit the ring of Sinestro into the fires of Hell, destroying it. 

Meanwhile, our mysterious shadowy figure approaches the RIDDLE Coalition Coaches with another clue:

Season 3 Week 4 Interim: The Coalition Gets a Tipoff

As shown last week, many members of the league are banding together in an attempt to rid themselves of Lord Voldemort of the reigning champions The Guilder Bay Shrieking Eels.

Seen here showing his concern.

Well, this week a mysterious figure approached those members with this cryptic message.

Season 3, Week 3 Interim: The Coalition of the Killing

CLANDESTINE MEETING

In the middle of the night, all coaches (except Lt. Columbo of the Eels) 

received the following letter from Princess Bubblegum of the Militants.

All the receiving teams responded.

With the stakes drawn on attendance, members from those teams interested

in joining this Coalition of the Killing begin making their way to the Bad Lands of Ooo.

*Indiana Jones climbs Mountains, cuts through jungles, outruns giant rolling balls, angry Natives, Nazis and Evil Indians, braces against the coldest winter snows, rescues a few damsels in distress and tears up his clothes accidentally revealing a patch of chest before arriving at OOO bloody but with his trademark smile and dimple*

 The journey to the land of Ooo was not difficult for the Automatons team. Professor Layton initially contacted Char Aznable, the Red Comet, to charter transportation in the MSN-04 Sazabi, but the secret was spoiled by Iskandar, the King of Conquerors. So interested in this journey to the strange land that the Rider class hero convinced his teammates and allies to go with him, much to the chagrin of his master, Waver Velvet. 
In all, the final total of arrivals to Ooo consisted of Professor Layton and Char in the Sazabi, Sagara Sousuke in the Arbalest, the two kings Iskandar and Saber on Iskandar's own Gordius Wheel, and even Kirby managed to ride there on the Dragoon with Blackbeard holding on for dear life. What kind of plans would everyone have by coming to this secret meeting?

Newman arrives in Ooo via highly energy inefficient hybrid going 30 the whole way. He shows up just to spite Kramer who he assumes didn't get an invitation.

Leia arrives in a Z83 S-class Cloud Car speeder. 
(It really was as easy as that.)

Meanwhile, the Crows send out a message to the Aberrations, Pandas, Browncoats, and the Eels themselves to see if they'd like to have a fun time crashing the party. The Aberrations and Pandas sign on, and we wait for confirmation from the other two for this Coalition of the Chilling.

Additionally, the Aberrations send a care package to the Eels:

A gargoyle files from a chasm that appeared outside Guilder Bay, and drops a package at the 50 yard line with a note for Lt. Columbo and package for Lord Voldemort.

The package to Voldemort has a fan letter attached, signed by both the leaders of the hive mind, and the present team of the Asgardian Aberrations. Claiming to be his "Number 1 Fans" and "Keep up the good work". Lastly, that they hope the gift is suitable.

Upon opening the box, a wand has been carefully wrapped in flesh (origin questionable) and a note describing it's makeup.
Haft - Whittled World Tree
Core - Phoenix Feather (for familiarity)
Pommel - Uru

The letter to Lt. Columbo describes the matters at hand with the other teams in the league, and fear of Lord Voldemort and further killing. It says that the Aberrations, while notably are not siding with the Eels, are remaining completely neutral in the matter. And hope this token of goodwill is appreciated. The letter is signed by Coach Heimdall, and says "P.S. If the Hippie Punchers were still here, nobody would have even noticed."

Tune in Next week for the conclusion of this exhibition event.
