Inhumans vs Flippin Flying Frogs

“Now right here we got two new teams ain’t nobody ever heard of. The Flippin Flyin Frogs against the Inhumans, we’ll see if these newbies can handle the brutality we saw earlier today.”

The Frogs and Inhumans coaches meet up in the center of the field for the coin toss. Vash and Megaman give each other polite nods, they’ve been teammates before, no bad blood there. The Frogs will receive, the two quarterbacks shake hands using their cannon arms and they stroll back to their prospective sidelines. “If this here gits any more polite and lovey dovey, we’ll get a barbie doll to do the announcing. Yuck.”

Rocky Douglas Jr. places himself around the 15 yard line as the ball careens out of the air into his arms and then he turns on the speed. Kicker Spawn and his teammates are closing in fast as he is taken down on the 30 yard line with a decent gain.

The Frogs offense comes in, Megaman at the head. They seem to struggle finding their pace. They manage a couple first downs and end up on a 4^th & 8 on the opposing 45 yard line. Black Bolt comes in for the kick. Starsceam has done this before. He sweeps up the ball and transforms into a jet fighter screaming across the field. A burst of energy hits him in the underside and he lands hard at the 50 yard line, stopping just short of Megaman, who stands coolly, blowing the smoke off his cannon arm. “YEAH! Did ya’ll see that?! He was like ZZOOMM! And then he was like nuh huh, click-click, BOOM! And then it was like WWAAASSPPPHHH!”

Vash and Co. get a try now for the Inhumans. Drizzt takes the handoff and storms up the field, slicing down a Goomba or two before Bowser clocks him in the head with one. Easy first down. Thunderbird takes a leap and catches a long pass and Bowser is waiting upon his return to earth. But good for another first down. Vash takes another hike, the receivers go long, when suddenly along shadow is cast over Vash. A brief “uh oh” escapes his lips before Bowser lands on him. Vash gets up with an uneasy laugh “Nice to meet you too Mr. Bowser, sir.” The villain eyes his opponent team and blows fire. Drizzt gets a bright idea and takes the next handoff, blitzing right at Bowser, the angry king of the Koopas unleashes a furious fireball, as the spry dark elf runs through the flames unscathed, between the Kings open legs, and takes the open field for a touchdown. The redneck commentator whips out a guitar and begins to play “Through the Fire & Flames”

The Frogs have Rocky pick up another kickoff, this time the kid is ready for it. He pours it on, using agility the dark elf has only seen a few places to juke past him. Loki is arguing with Odin about animating the goal posts when Rocky runs past them and into the endzone. Easy points on the board for the Frogs as the 2^nd Quarter starts.

Another kickoff, Starscream relinquishes this one to Thunderbird, who takes careful measure of his opponents and considers challenging one in open combat, but he doesn’t find any of them worth of his might. So he continues to bide his time and tears across the field until Fred & Dino are able to corner and get him out of bounds. The Inhumans use Banshee’s flight ability to get a long gain, the next time though he’s knocked out of the air with a Goomba thrown from Bowser. A handoff to Drizzt while Thunderbird tumbles with Bowser results in another score for the Inhumans.

Another kickoff to Rocky, didn’t go as well this time as Starscream gets to the kid and there isn’t much he can do against a massive Decepticon. After some serious deliberation on the sideline, Peter Griffin comes in for Daggett, who we haven’t seem much of this game. He gets a handoff and runs right into bowser, staring up at the Koopa King, nostrils flaring, fire growing in his belly, Peter leaps into a knockdown drag-out fight with the Koopa King, and the two roll and tumble into the endzone. Peter stands up, injuries obvious, and immediately commences a song and dance about dragons, footall and maidens fair. The commentator accompanies on guitar, the refs do interpretative dance, no penalty call is made. Time runs out to halftime.

3^rd quarter, things get interesting. Vash asks to speak with the very nice Mr. Koopa King. During the conversation Vash begins to pace back and forth around Bowser, before he makes an all-out run as fast as he can into the end zone. His hair and coat are singed when he arrives back to his team.

Zach Morris gets involved on the next round of plays for the Frogs. He receives the kickoff and runs halfway up the field. Then he notices the music he’s heard all game from his friend Kvothe has stopped. A voice enters his head. “My son, your power is great, but you cannot give in to those who would see you hurt yourself. Turn and run away from the coming tide.” Zach sees Drizzt, Starscream, and Thunderbird bearing down on him, and jumps into his own end zone for a safety. On the sideline, Kvothe is seen sleeping, and Morpheus is wearing his mask, and holding his gem.

Megaman knows things aren’t going well, but with a Safety, he has to continue sitting on the bench and see what happens with the next possession. Vash takes the hike, steps back, and Banshee screams at the Goombas, disorienting them, and angering Bowser. Bowser knocks Banshee from the air as Starscream takes a pass and hits the endzone effortlessly.

Megaman looks to his teammates and nods. Bean steps into the offensive lineup and goes to tango with the barbarian Wulfgar. The two end up brawling while Dig Dug makes an opening to get Fred & Dino across the field for a touchdown. Wulfgar & Bean are ejected for unnecessary roughness. The 4^th Quarter starts. Frogs are still down. “These refs suck, that there as unnecessary awesomeness.”

Megaman takes the field with his offense. Buster cannon is charged, a steely look in his eyes. As the Inhumans let their new defense take the field. Flamethrower locked and loaded. Pyro stands alone and ready against the Frogs, liquid fire dripping from the nozzle. The ball is hiked. Flames spit everywhere. And just as quickly as they appeared, they’re extinguished. Black Bolt’s slightest sound shut down the flamethrower, and rendered Pryo unconscious. Black Bolt strides, silently and slowly across the field for a touchdown. The crowd goes wild.

The game on the line, the Inhumans step out Bowser and company hasn’t been giving all day, but maybe it’s time. Drizzt takes the handoff and runs at Bowser (who recalls fire doesn’t work on this guy), then, as if he was reading Bowser’s mind, Drizzt narrowly avoids every slash, smash, bash and forward B attack from Bowser. Before kicking him squarely in the eye and seemingly FLYING into the endzone. As Drizzt hits the ground he morphs into the Martian Manhunter. The Inhumans take another score. Spawn sends another through the goal posts as the Frogs rush to take the field. The new defense of a crazy old underground mage is not exactly what the Frogs expected. Zach reaches for his remote and stops time after taking the handoff and rushes to the mage and moves him 10 yards farther away. When suddenly he hears a “snap” about 10 yards past the line of scrimmage. He stops briefly, looking around, nobody is moving. What on earth was it? “AAWW SHEEETT! Here it comes!” The boy takes another step as his remote’s power fades and a pitfall trap opens underneath him. Halastar laughs. And the drive continues. Megaman pulls another trick from his book. Knowing the ground isn’t safe, Digdug makes an opening and Megaman rides Rushjet past Halastar into the endzone. However, as the kick sails, time runs out, and the Frogs lose by the 2 point safety. 37 Inhumans – 35 Frogs
