Greeting fight fans! Welcome to the second fight of the day!

As this is only our second match, a few words on voting:

Participants and spectators may vote in each match. All voters should use the poll included in each match thread, and vote solely on a team's strategy and defense. The voting polls will remain open for 24-hours. NOTE: To prevent unfair ballot-stuffing, only votes from posters with 50 or more posts will be counted. Additionally, votes from posters with matching IP addresses will be disqualified.

Participants may question each other's strategies and offer retorts during a match so long as they stay civil. Spectators may also question the participants. However explanations may not contradict or embellish the posted strategy. Voting should not be based on any potential that characters possess or on any other moves that a voter might want to interject on their own. All voters should feel free to comment on why they've voted for a specific team.

To maintain fairness across the board, teams with two or more participants will only be allowed one vote in any match. If more than one member of a team votes in a match, only the first vote from that team will be counted.

Additionally, while encouraging friends or family to vote in the tournament is allowed, encouraging others to vote specifically for you is against the rules and is grounds for disqualification. Friends and family are expected to read both strategies and make a decision based on what is presented; not based on allegiance to a particular participant. All voting should be done without bias.

Round 1

- Wallflower quickly spreads a pheromone around our team that makes them fearless.

- Asylum teleports both teams into the Darkforce Dimension. Here lockerogue’s team will be confronted by their worst fears. This will serve as a distraction.

- Omega Sentinel takes to the sky and goes after Banshee. She uses her Sentinel tech to close off her ear canals so his scream won’t bother her. Then she blasts him with her energy weapon s. (As an alternative, she could also knock him out with her strength in case her energy blasts are countered.)

- Mindee uses her mental powers to take over Rogue’s mind. Then she uses Rogue to attack Elixer with blasts of fire. He can more than likely heal himself from this, but it will keep him even more distracted so he won’t be able to help his team.

- Skids hops on Litterbug’s back and extends her force field around both of their bodies. She uses her force field’s “skating” ability so she and Litterbug can stake over to Magma and attack. If Magma has transformed into magma, then Skids’ force field should protect them from her heat and fire. This gives
Litterbug the ability to safely attack Magma with his strength and claws. She’s still solid in her fiery form, so Litterbug’s attacks will hurt her.

- Strong Guy runs over to pummel Warpath. I think Strong Guy is stronger than Warpath, but even if he isn’t Warpath’s blows would only make him stronger. Advantage: Strong Guy.

- For this Round, Asylum guards Mindee from any attacks that might come her way. He’ll use his Darkforce energy to blast anyone who comes near her.

Round 2

- Mindee quickly leaves Rogue’s mind and unleashes a massive telepathic blast on Elixer, who shouldn’t be able to protect himself.

- Omega Sentinel turns her attention to Rogue and, making sure to stay high in the air, blasts her with some energy weapons. Without her old Ms. Marvel powers, Rogue is defenseless to this attack.

- And if Omega Sentinel isn’t enough to knock out Rogue, then Skids and Litterbug will stake over and take her out.

- Wallflower sends a cloud of sleep pheromones at Wolfsbane that should put her to bed.

This should take care of all of lockerogue’s team except for Cat.

Round 3

- Mindee reaches out to Cat (wh o’s probably intangible by now) and uses her telepathy to increase the fear Cat has been feeling since from the Darkforce Dimension. Mindee makes that fear so powerful that Cat eventually passes out.

End.

Soundtrack: "Heart of Sword" from the anime Rurouni Kenshin

My betchin team drops from the skies ready to battle. Rogue gives them a pep talk before spreading out. Telling them to go at it full force and make the other team their slaves.

They jump into battle going separate ways to attack the other team.

Magma see's Mindee and starts throwing magma blast at Mindee to distract her from using her telepathy. Magma tries to take control of Magma. But can't because she is trying to dodge the magma blast. Magma decides to end this and creates a mini volcano under Mindee's feet. Killing Mindee in the process of erupting.

Elixir and Wallflower decide to walk through the Outback and enjoy its scenary. They catch up with each and share stories about what each have done since Laurie's death. Laurie tells Josh what its like in heaven and how she met Doug Ramsey. Josh tells Laurie all about what happened at the mansion etc. Elixir decides it is time for this to be over. He engages Laurie in a passionate kiss. But the kiss is a trap as Elixir starts to turn black. Laurie starts freaking out but Josh continues with the kiss until Laurie stops struggling and dies. Elixir tells her dead corpse that he loves her. But he cannot let his team down and goes back into the battle.

Warpath is steadily dodging against Omega Sentinels arsenal. He can't seem to close enough to her. He's tried throwing rocks at her but she shoots them dust. He's like a sitting duck. Until glorious Magma shows up and sends a magma blast OS' way from behind. Warpath then leaps into the air and takes his vibranium knife and stabs Karima in the chest trying to short circuit her. Tt doesn't cause her to short circuit but instead pain. Karima then goes fully sentinel psycho bitch with all of her weapons. She shoots at James with an energy power blast. He jumps out of the way in time and tells Magma to distract to Karima. Magma starts throwing everything she can at Omega Sentinel. While having Magma cause a distraction Warpath comes up. Cat is just standing there watching. Warpath grabs Cat and sends her flying into Karima. Cat phases right through Karima disrupting Karima's body system knocking out Karima. Kitty then calls the geek squad who will be on there way in 3 days top. Or else repair service is free

Rogue uses everything in her arsenal to harm Litterbug. She figures out that he has some sort of weakness to fire and traps him in a ring of fire he starts digging underground but Rogue follows him and and uses Sunfire powers against him harming. Rogue finally starts to weaken then goes in for the kill and turns up the heat into one powerful blast.

Wolfsbane so far has only given a scratch towards Skids. As she cannot break through skids forcefield. Wolfsbane see's if she can send Skids on a guilt trip. So she yells out. "Sally where's Rusty. Wait I forgot you let him die". Skids get angry and charges at Wolfsbane still in her field.

Banshee and Asylum go at. Banshee uses his scream against Asylum with some effect. Partially deafening Asylum. Asylum decides its time to end this and gets ready to teleport Sean into a dimension to show Sean his greatest fear. Banshee flies towards Skids and Wolfsbane direction. Banshee uses his scream against Skids whose shield drops. Wolfsbane does a super wolf kick and kicks Skids into Asylum. Which teleports them into the Darkforce Dimension. Within in 10 minutes Asylum teleports back with a woman who looks like Qwerty only the woman turns out to Skids. While Asylum is holding Skids. Cat jumps on Asylums back and phases him into the ground. Rogue flies over taking off her glove and touches Asylums face. Absorbing all of his memories and powers.

Now there's only Strong Guy left. So the team all attack Strong Guy at once.
Banshee uses his sonic scream on Strong Guy. Wolfsbane attacks Strong Guy from behind. Leaving Rogue to focus her flame powers inward to give her superstrength (Not at Ms. Marvel levels) to knock Strong Guy away from the battle.

The team then puts on a Dazzler CD and have a gigantic party.

[pryde15]

question, Lex told me that we switched Darwin for Strong Guy, so why is Darwin in both the poll and in Lockerogue's strategy?

[Brian M.]

Couple things:

pryde15/Lex: I thought you weren't allowed to leave the battlefield? So teleporting the another dimension would be no go right? So any kind of benefit your team got from that would be null and void? Plus teleporting Banshee would be outta the question too right?

lockerogue:

Would Magma really kill? It doesn't seem to be in her character.

Also isn't Rogue immune to telepathy? Atleast immune enough to avoid mind control? So Mindee taking over Rogue would be outta the question right?

[lockerogue]

I was getting ready to ask that.

[Pach!]

I have exactly that problem with both strats. Leaving the battlefield and Magma and Elixir killing.

Magma takes control of Magma?

I think it's suppose to read "Mindee takes control of Magma"...I think. That's how I read it.

I see a problem with Magma killing, but not Elixir. He's done a lot of that lately.

Yes its true we aren't allowed to leave the battlefield, unless, it's to utilize a characters powers, which is exactly what we were doing with Asylum.

But would he kill Laurie, the girl he has killed for?

So uh.... Strong Guy. When did he come into the mix

He killed Demons and Stryker, who killed Laurie. He wouldn't kill anyone and specially not Laurie.

[Siddon]

Magma has killed before, she was the main person who killed Mr. M. I think Aslyemm keeps her safe though.
