Ninja_Mime's desires will be clear when he challenges Mimik in a very special main event -- a fasttracked match for the covetted Undisputed Championship ahead of the all-Duo event at Supercard 15! With a victory over his partner and a long and storied career behind him, is this finally Ninja_Mime's time to shine as a solo hero, or will he take leave as a titless zero? Mimik is on the warpath, cutting down the biggest names in the league with devastating results! It'll be make or break as champion and challenger collide on this eve of infinite possibilities -- the Devil's Night!
15. Mimik (c) d. Ninja_Mime in a convincing +3 Championship defense!
With The Great Arena cleared of the darkness of the Devil's Night, a very special, previously scheduled Undisputed Championship match could be allowed to unfold! The unexpected, sudden rise of Mimik at Feast or Famine has left some questioning the gravity of his reign as Champion, but with an impressive, hard fought defense against ElJobber at War of Thrones, on top of his massive surprise victory over Pestilence at Night of the Barons, and his dramatic decimations of Ratt and The_Purple_Bunny leading to the title win, Mimik has cemented a compelling case for his stay amongst the top tier! Ninja_Mime arrives in the main event with a long list of accomplishments, not the least of which was his reign was Duo Division Champion, held alongside Hokey -- the man he defeated to earn this special opportunity ahead of the all-Duo Supercard 15!
The stage was set for an intriguing clash of dynasties as the two allies of Supercard 6's Team Cr0w faced off. A relationship outside The Great Arena would not influence their approach, reiterating the pure combat that exists between fighters dedicated to the ultimate glory of the Undisputed Championship! That fact no doubt inspired Mimik, who looked to be in fine form despite a well documented afflication with the P-Virus. Ninja_Mime made his candidacy for top billing known, but was slightly out of place, alone in the colosseum. With convincing results, Mimik charged over the challenger, exerting a defeat sufficient enough to register a +3 impact. For a fighter who annihilated opponents in the high twenties, the win was actually a fairly tame affair, in the end!
14. Crow d. Pumpkin Head #1 and slayed the spooky monster!
Still suffering the sting of the loss of his Undisputed Championship and record setting twenty-five match win streak (at Supercard 13) -- Crow is "unstoppable" no more. With a second defeat at the hands of Ratt hanging over him after War of Thrones, Crow has been discombobulated and left in desparate need of a victory! Enter the strange fiendish Pumpkin Head -- a lantern-faced monster intent on spreading illwill across the Devil's Night/Halloween weekend! Breathing flames from his pumpkin-styled head, the creature proved all bark, no bite, no match for Crow! Exploding in a hail of soup and fire, the sinister seasonal menace was quickly vanquished -- unlike the rest of the league!
The win follows a Feast or Famine victory over Pestilence and keeps him on the right path, but blood is in the water, and Crow has many miles to travel before he returns to contention for his beloved Undisputed Championship! Though vulnerable, he has the benefit of a reignited fire of desire and desparation. This could be Crow's greatest weapon, but with a history of becoming impetuous, it may also prove his ultimate undoing. At least, with the creatures of darkness invading the colosseum, The Union of The Human League could count on one of its strongest competitors when it counted!
13. ElJobber d. Maniac Peasant #2969 and slayed the madman!
Developing the reputation of an "Iron Menace" equal to any of the beasts attacking, ElJobber has made a habit of using Pre-Show events as the platform for his MAX Damage challenge. The scenario -- inspired by his +30 impact wins over JoelKatz and MINION at Tournament 8 -- has typically involved singling out lower tier fighters easily susceptible to such a decimation. With only the creatures of the night to choose from, it seems fitting that a flailing, ineffective Maniac Peasant would become ElJobber's prey!
Insanity has spread through the village peasants ever since Lord Mislukking arrived to conquer the realm. Some say the act of domination itself was enough to send them mad, but others claim ancient gods from a time before record sponsored his dark dominion, singing a battle march that echoes in the very minds of these unfortunate souls. Whatever the case, ElJobber made light work of the madman, effortlessly striking him down with ruthless efficiency. As satisfying an end as possible for the now cold, hardened ElJobber.
12. TonyTheTiger d. Swamp Beast #1 but it escaped death!
Not to be mistaken for one of the primal beasts invading The Great Arena -- TonyTheTiger is a fighter who's developed claws in recent months! Proving himself in combat against some of the leagues finest competitors, he has grown from a mere scavenger into a deadly predator! The hunter would become the hunted as TonyTheTiger became the object of aggression from a Swamp Beast -- muck creature from the murkiest corners of the swamps of the Cheevment Kingdom! Slimey and green, the hideous creature would attempt to take a pound of flesh from TonyTheTiger -- only to be cut down to size by ferocious tooth and claw! TonyTheTiger's assault proves enough to drive the Swamp Beast into a puddled retreat, back to the swamps where it can live to fight another day!
11. The_Purple_Bunny d. Vampire #1 and slayed the feral fiend!
Where once vampires lorded over the Cheevment Kingdom night with nobility and grace, a disgusting parody of the Vampire now lurks. Amidst the invading hordes, one of the feral remnants of the hunted species, as desparate and ravenous for blood as any common animal or leech. The first of its kind seen in years is light work for one-half of the Duo Division Champions, The_Purple_Bunny! TPB handled the bloodthirsty monster with a mere modicum of his fullest powers, with the skill and proficiency of any ancient vampire hunter! The_Purple_Bunny will want to show that same aggression at Supercard 15, when he and partner Blaze are forced to defend their title against whosoever scales the treacherous ladder of the Tower of Power! Be it one of the Challenger 7, or one of the ten top ranked teams beneath them, they will face only the best, with the title decided in the final fight of the event! The first time such an event has opened to the Duo ranks!
10. Ghostdragon d. Skeleton Warrior #3134 and slayed the minion!
Ghostdragon proved unlucky to lose at Supercard 14, suffering a surprise defeat at the hands of Porygonix in their post-Battle Royal grudge match. Probably happy to have an outlet for venting, Ghostdragon reversed his fortunes, appearing in his element in battle with yet another invading Skeleton Warrior! The walking deadman restored the reputation of relatively low tier competition, a boneheaded patsy to Ghostdragon's well measured attack. Ghostdragon will be expected to reunite with Pink_Ranger, joining the ranks of the Duo Division once more to take advantage of the first-ever team contest Tower of Power at Supercard 15, next month!
9. "The Charmed" Hokey d. Skeleton Warrior #3133 and slayed the minion!
On a night of bad omens, who better to have on the side of light than one of the most fortune finding fighters in the league, "The Charmed" Hokey? More than a match for any mere Skeleton Warrior, the Charmed One attacked the ivory creature with full force, far beyond the half measures displayed in his contender fight at Supercard 14! The Skeleton Warrior was no match for Hokey's might, despite being another powerful variation on its traditionally lowgrade ilk! Will fortune smile as glowingly upon Hokey (and Ninja_Mime) when they fight toward their second Duo Division Championship in the Tower of Power? Only Supercard 15 and The Devil know for sure!
8. Bubble Rossi #771 d. Jammer2Omega in a devastating defeat!
As the posterchild of The Next Phase movement, Jammer2Omega has faced opponents of all types, but never has he bared witness to a nemesis like a Bubble Rossi! Strange and esoteric, these roving spheres once served as additional security for the Royal Family of the Cheevment Kingdom -- elastic bubbles capable of smothering the most powerful of men. Since Lord Mislukking's invasion, however, they have become pale harbingers of doom, threatening anyone who isn't one with the evil overlord.
Somehow entangled with the creatures of the night, a Bubble Rossi becomes one of the colosseum invaders, an unlikely threat amidst the ghouls and ghosts. Jammer2Omega approached the deadly ball with a moderate attack, only to find himself completely overwhelmed by its form conforming smother! Fight though he would, Jammer2Omega could do nothing to escape -- another shock victim of the Devil's Night!
7. DECEPTION d. Infected Peasant #1 and slayed the zombie!
Eager to help who he could, DECEPTION raced into action, attempting to aid what he believed was a wayward peasant lost in the anarchy befalling The Great Arena. Instead, he was confronted by the alarming vision of an innocent man, shrieking in agony and hideously disfigured by the notorious P-Virus! The Infected Peasant suddenly sprang to life, lunging at DECEPTION as if spurred to act by some primal lust for flesh! It was all DECEPTION could do to keep the horror at bay, forced to make a very difficult decision. Recognising the man beneath the gore was gone, replaced by a tortured memory, he made the ultimate decision. Taking no pleasure, DECEPTION released the unfortunate man from his curse. An act of mercy to end a fate worse than death.
6. Floating Viper Head #5 d. Ken in a devastating defeat!
The horrors of the Halloween horde were a diverse many, but few sights could be as unsettling as the disembodied Floating Viper Head! With snakes for hair and a penchant for floating in fast, ebbing motion, the airborne ambush of these menacing spirits makes them notoriously difficult to defeat, and even harder to slay! Ken took up the fight, trying in vein to match the fevered sway of the eerie head with fast and furious fists. Alas; the fanged charge of the Viper Head would get the better of a deeply frustrated Ken! Another devastating defeat for one of the Union's finest!
5. Nemestilae Spider #2 d. CaTigeReptile in a devastating defeat!
As more of the familiar faces of the league arrived to collide with the invading colosseum creatures, it was the charge of CaTigeReptile to deal with one of the smallest, but deadliest threats to dwell in the Cheevment Kingdom wild. Nemestilae Spiders are highly venomous arachnids, typically happened upon by accidental exposure of their trap-door lairs! The fast-moving creature packs a powerful poison in its bite, capable of drastically reducing the powers of any unlucky bitten fighter, over long stretches of time. CTR faced exactly that prospect as she struggled to squash the speedy web-spinner. A single misstep was all it took to feel the fangs of the Nemestilae -- a devastating defeat!
4. nface d. Skeleton Warrior #3132 and slayed the minion!
Another somewhat inexperienced fighter, nface was not far behind McDaniel, just as ready to tackle the boney menace of the Skeleton Warrior tandem! Facing a much less potent Warrior, nface was more than capable of riding the skeletal helter-skelter, in constant control of the anarchic situation. The invading horde would be another monster short, done away deftly by the dashing nface!
3. McDaniel d. Skeleton Warrior #3131 and slayed the minion!
Summoned by The Union; fighters from all ranks of the league arrive to fend off the dark creatures invading the colosseum. First to aid jack4813 in the struggle was McDaniel -- another newcomer, who fearlessly charged into battle, unintimidated by the bizarre vision of an animated Skeleton Warrior menacing the arena! This particular Skeleton Warrior proved to be particularly strong, defying their reputation for being fleshless weaklings! Even at full-power, McDaniel had to put his back into it just to fend off the assault! He did marvellously, rendering the Skeleton a pile of bones!
2. Giant Bat #39 d. jack4813 in a devastating defeat!
As the creatures of the night and forces of darkness flooded the colosseum, a Giant Bat saw fit to bedevil one of the relative newcomers to The Great Arena. In his brief time in the Cheevment Kingdom, jack4813 has shown a lot of promise, battling in and out of competition to further his skills in the pursuit of bringing real change to the fighting ranks. jack4813 has never claimed to be the next Undisputed Champion, but his earnest approach and willingness to learn from other competitors has made him a sentimental favourite. Alas; there would be no sentimentality from the leather wings of the Giant Bat! As other warriors spilled into the colosseum to fight the mounting horde, jack4813 could only succumb to the terrifying might of the enormous wild beast!
1. giandavil d. lita83 in a near-draw Battle for the Bottom!
It looked to be business as usual in the opening bout for Pre-Show 15. The cult phenomenon of the Battle for the Bottom continues to be a unique draw at Pre-Shows across the Great Arena calendar, bringing basement dwelling giandavil into conflict with his nearest league ranked opponent, lita83!
giandavil has struggled to escape the bottom, fighting to standstill draws against Mk_FrEaK (Pre-Show 14) and Queequeg (Pre-Show 13) in previous Battles for the Bottom! A statistical limbo has meant the tied results have been sufficient enough to elevate those previous battlers, while giandavil remains firmly anchored to the bottom of the pile. Thid time looked to be the charm for a highly motivated giandavil, whose odds were even against his incredibly well matched opponent! lita83 took it to the absolute limit, but desire got giandavil over the line by the narrowest of margins!
November 6, The Great Arena plays host to another famous first as the Duo Division takes over the colosseum spotlight! Supercard 15: Tower of Power III will pit the greatest teams in the league against each other in the formation that demands only the fit survive! 7 council selected tandems will first attempt to topple the Tower when the Challenger 7 go from bottom to top, before the Tower of Power turns in on itself in sudden death elimination! At the top, The_Purple_Bunny & Blaze will wait to defend their Duo Division Championships to only the most worthy! Only a fool would miss it!
