Battlesphere 3 Part 1

*THE FOLLOWING BROADCAST IS BEING PRESENTED BY THE TRANSDIMENSIONAL COMBAT COMMISSION.  ALL COMBATANTS MUST AGREE TO FOLLOW TCC GUIDELINES AT ALL TIMES.  SAFETY OF ATENDEES IS NOT GUARANTEED.* 

Al Rossi: HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, FIGHT FANS!  The time has finally arrived for the TCC’s premier event!  Welcome to Battlesphere 3!  It’s Al Rossi! 

Andel Sanap: And Jedi Master Andel Sanap!  May the Force be with you all! 

Al Rossi: The time has come for us to take the Battlesphere to a whole other level!  Tonight, 9 CBUB members, including broadwaybeyonder, have gathered to see not only which 3 of their combatants will be entering the ‘sphere, but who will walk away the victor! 

Andel Sanap: And that individual will be joining Miss America and Hawkgirl as the only 3 combatants who can say they are Battlesphere champions! 

Al Rossi: Fans, TCC Arena is at full capacity tonight!  Everyone is wanting to witness this thrilling contest!  But no more perhaps than our CBUB guests, who all have been gathering in the observation lounge! 

Andel Sanap: Going to our live cameras we can see almost all of our VIPs are here.  I see the owner of the CBUB @IKA sharing a drink with Sosuke Aizen of Bleach.  The Soul Reaper seems much more focused on surveying the room, particularly sizing up Serpentor.  The Cobra leader hasn’t stopped glaring at him since he entered the room with @leroypowell3.  @SSJRuss and @RiotGearGear are looking out the window to observe the Battlesphere hovering above the arena.  @Pizza Guy and @JohnnyChany are chatting it up with @ThePhenomenalOne, who’s plus 1 Deadpool does not seem interested in small talk.  His eyes are fixed on @Venom 2009enom 2009’s plus 1: Cattleya from Queen’s Blade! 

Al Rossi: Surprised they were able to fit in the lounge. 

Andel Sanap: Allen! 

Al Rossi: What?  I’m talking about all those people!  What are you talking about? 

Andel Sanap: Ahem.  Moving on, we are still waiting for the arrival of broadwaybeyonder, and our sources tell us that he is bringing a plus 1 to the Battlesphere, as well. 

Al Rossi: But I know what you’re thinking, folks.  That’s 9 CBUB members and 27 combatants.  That means that there will be 3 wildcard combatants with no allegiance to a CBUB user!  And Philippa Forrester is in the locker room with 2 of those 3 right now!  Philippa? 

Philippa Forrester: Thanks, Al and Andel.  Just remember that Cattleya is a married woman and knows her way around a sword.  Just in case you 2 get any ideas.  At the moment I’m with 2 more ladies who are waiting to enter the Battlesphere.  From the Deadly Vipers Elle Driver, and from the USS Voyager Seven of Nine!  Welcome to the TCC! 

Seven of Nine: Thank you.  Although I fail to see how welcome I should feel.  Your TCC took me from my ship to this place, and only told me I was being a chance to prove myself in combat. 

Philippa Forrester: Don’t worry, Seven.  The TCC is able to repair any damage or injuries you take during the Battlesphere. 

Seven of Nine: This does not fill me with confidence, but I will comply. 

Elle Driver: Aw, could both of you just shut up?! 

Philippa Forrester: Um, I’m sorry, Miss Driver.  Do you have any thoughts to share on the combat tonight? 

Elle Driver: Thoughts?  OK, here are my thoughts.  I think after I win this thing I’m going to find the guy who brought me here and show him how fast a Hanzo katana can rip someone to shreds! 

Seven of Nine: Your bravado is commendable, but irrelevant.  It is more likely that you’re compensating for your concern for the battle ahead of us.  Perhaps you are displeased with the number you have drawn? 

Elle Driver: Shut it, lady!  I’ve been trained by the greatest assassin in the world!  All you need to know is that if you’re in there with me you don’t stand a chance, no matter what number I got! 

Seven of Nine: Training is irrelevant.  I will succeed. 

Elle Driver: You…! 

Philippa Forrester: Ooookay, then.  Thanks for your time, ladies.  Best of luck in the Battlesphere!  Al and Andel? 

Al Rossi: These combatants are already fired up, Andel! 

Andel Sanap: And they are only 2 of the 30 combatants are entering the Battlesphere.  All the other combatants’ identities are secret, save for Miss Bourgeois who alerted us of her involvement during the 200^th Match. 

Al Rossi: Yeah.  I’m surprised she didn’t buy a billboard.  But she is certainly motivated to win after 2 impressive showings in the last 2 Battlespheres.  Wait a minute!  Hold it, folks!  Broadwaybeyonder has entered the observation lounge!  He extends his arm and WHOA!  Look who’s his plus 1! 

Andel Sanap: It’s Chel!  The lady of El Dorado! 

Al Rossi: The 2 walk into the lounge arm in arm!  That got the lounge buzzing!  Cattleya shoots a dirty look at Venom, who looks on in shock as broadwaybeyonder escorts Chel to her seat! 

Andel Sanap: With that, all of the VIPs and their plus 1s are here!  It is time for the 3^rd edition of the Battlesphere to begin! 

Al Rossi: Well, let’s get it started!  Let’s send it down to our ring announcer Justin Roberts! 

Justin Roberts: Ladies and gentlemen, fight fans and honored guests!  Welcome to Battlesphere 3!  Here are the rules of the Battlesphere Battle Royal.  2 combatants will enter the ring suspended in the sphere above TCC Arena.  Every 90 seconds another combatant will be teleported into the ring until all 30 have entered.  Combatants are eliminated when they are thrown over the top rope and both feet hit the Battlesphere wall.  The eliminated combatant’s powers, abilities, and weapons will then be gifted to the combatant who eliminated them.  The last combatant standing wins the Battlesphere and will be allowed to keep one combatant’s power set to use at TCC Arena. 

Al Rossi: Check it out!  There’s Hawkgirl flying into the arena in her Queen Bee gear!  She unfortunately has been busy running missions for the Justice League and has been unable to compete for the TCC since her victory.  But that doesn’t change the fact she lasted over 40 minutes to win Battlesphere 2! 

Andel Sanap: The crowd cheers as she lands atop the Battlesphere!  She raises her mace and slams it down!  Nth metal energy envelops the sphere! 

Al Rossi: Now that’s a light show!  Hawkgirl gives a final salute to the crowd and flies down to ground level. 

Andel Sanap: The anticipation is building, Al! 

Justin Roberts: And now, the combatant who drew number 1, and will enter first into the Battlsphere! 

P.A.: Whatever nightmares the future holds, are dreams compared to what’s behind me. 

Justin Roberts: Representing ThePhenomenalOne, GAMOOOOOOOOOORAAAAAAAA!!! 

Al Rossi: Well, Andel, no one wants to be number one in this match! 

Andel Sanap: Indeed, Al.  But an accomplished warrior like Gamora should be up to the challenge.  I can see she has her Godslayer blade, her knife, and a blaster. 

Al Rossi: Not to mention strength and fighting skills that can allow her to go toe-to-toe with some serious heavy hitters from the Marvel multiverse. 

Justin Roberts: And the combatant that drew number 2! 

P.A.: To me the word of an old fool like you is less than nothing. 

Al Rossi: Whoa! 

Justin Roberts: A Wildcard, the California Mountain Snake: ELLEEEEE DRIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEER!!! 

Andel Sanap: I believe we now know the source of Miss Driver’s frustration, Al. 

Al Rossi: That’s for sure!  Seven was right!  Elle draws her Hanzo katana and charges for Gamora! 

Andel Sanap: The official pulls Justin out of the way! 

Al Rossi: Gamora blocks with Godslayer just in time! 

Referee: Ring the bell!  Commence combat! 

Al Rossi: And we’re off!  Elle may be at a disadvantage physically here.  I think she’s trying to overwhelm Gamora early to better her chances! 

Andel Sanap: She will need every bit of her training to battle Gamora.  The two women exchange blows with their blades.  Miss Driver is attempting to move Gamora to the ropes and By the Force! 

Al Rossi: Gamora gets her foot on the ropes and flips up and over Elle!  Lands a strike to Elle’s back! 

Elle Driver: AGGH! 

Al Rossi: Didn’t see that move coming! 

Andel Sanap: Gamora delivers a kick to the gut of Miss Driver.  The assassin is against the ropes!  Gamora with another kick to the head! 

Al Rossi: Elle is over the ropes!  She clings with one hand!  She’s not letting go of her sword! 

Andel Sanap: Gamora moves in for the kill, but Miss Driver manages to just slip under the bottom rope. 

Al Rossi: Times almost up!  Who is going to be entrant number 3? 

Crowd: 5!  4!  3!  2!  1! 

BZZZZZ 

P.A.: RIOTGEAR.  There can only be one. 

Al Rossi: What the Hell?! 

Andel Sanap: Al!  It’s Conor MacLeod!  The Highlander! 

Al Rossi: This battle has gotten off to a swashbuckling start!  Cattleya has gotta be feeling right at home with all these swords swinging around! 

Andel Sanap: Macleod draws his claymore!  Miss Driver rises to her feet and Gamora holds her dagger and Godslayer at the ready! 

Al Rossi: Welcome to Battlesphere 3, folks! 

 

OK:

Gamora (MCU), Elle Driver, and Connor MacLeod are all at full strength. 

Vote winner gets the loser’s abilities/powers/weapons and stays at full strength, 2^nd place takes damage, loser is eliminated from the match.

Elle is out of her league here and while Gamora may be stronger then Macleod, there are a lot more ways to kill her.

In other words The Highlander has the right combination of skills, experience, and powers to take the win.

[JohnnyChany]

Glad to see this up and running. Curious to see everyone's teams. Going with Gamora here.

[Pizza Guy]

It’s gotta be Gamora. She scales to Drax, She-Hulk, Captain Marvel, ect. Basically the people she hangs with are on a whole different level then anyone in Highlander.

[Culwych1]

Agree with the general consensus. Gamora should take the win, but whether Macleod's immortality then comes into play alongside his skills with the sword is another question.

Gamora is definitely strong, but she was noticably weaker than Drax. Who manhandled her with ease.

I don't see why Macleod's immortality wouldn't play a part. None of his opponents are gonna know how to put him down. Where as Connor's go to move of decapitation should work on both his opponents.

It also worth nothing that Immortals in Highlander seem to have some level of superhuman strength themselves from causing swords to spark during clashes to destroying masonry with missed blows, to casual decapitations.

[DSkillz]

Heh, @broadwaybeyonder, this would've been good to post as an official match.  I hope the rest of the participants are paying attention here. 

I'd say Gamora has an almost overwhelming edge in this one. She's skilled and physically superior enough to beat Elle and Macleod in a number of ways, including ringing them out (assuming that's part of this Battlesphere's rules, that is).
