WEEK 6

MATCH 1
Link vs a group of Myrdraal
Chicago Subway

Link wasn't familiar with this dungeon, but it looked like several he'd seen before. He pulled out his trusty lamp and began searching for the dungeon map. After a while, he was hopelessly lost. Each room he entered looked like the last one, and he still hadn't found the map, or compass, or big key. He hadn't found a single chest. At least the only enemies he'd had to kill were rats. Out of the corner of his eye, the Hero of Hyrule saw something moving towards him. He pulled out the ice rod and blasted the
myrdraal. The halfman was frozen solid. Pocketing his rod, he pulled out his hammer and shattered the monstrosity. Hmmm.. that usually yielded a magic pot. Oh well.
The remaining myrdraal were in shock. How had this man channeled without them sensing it? They would have to be more careful. Each shadow jumped to a different corner of the room. They raised their swords and charged. Link saw them coming and charged up his sword. Using his excellent technique, Link spun in a circle with the Master sword extended. Each remaining myrdraal fell to the ground, neatly bisected. Link dodged out of the way of their frenzied gyrations. A halfman takes a long time to die, and their blades are still deadly. Link fired a few arrows into the half halfmen to no effect. Link was concerned until he realized they weren't following him. Link blasted them with the fire magic Bombos and they were blasted to ash.

Shigeryu Miyamoto: Link handled those monsters easily. They were in their element, but shadows hold no danger for the Hero. Good work, excellent weapon choice, only a slight demerit for wasting magic on them after they were dead. 9
John Madden: It was a neutral field. Those muryd.. thingies were trying to commit a personal foul on Link, but Link did use a bit of unnecessary roughness with that last fire spell, so I can only give him a 7.
Robert Jordan: Very good work going against such a dangerous foe with little to no knowledge of what they were. Link is to be commended for his cunning and ability. 8
Aragorn, son of Arathorn: 'Twas a valiant battle of good versus evil. The Master Swordsman Link proved himself in a battle against an unknown and unseen foe. His fighting skills truely were the turn of the tide in his match. There must be more to him than meets the eye. I award him 10.
Neville Longbottom: Well I�ve got to give the elvish hero an 8 for unfailing bravery against such fear inspiring foe.

Final Average Score: 8.40 (9, 7, 8, 10, 8)

MATCH 2
Rand al'Thor vs a Double Byte of Borg
The Borg Collective Cube

Al Michaels: Rand watches the Borg come toward him, mumbling slightly to himself. As Rand neither challenges them, nor attempts to run, the Borg surround him then lower their weapons.
John Madden: It almost seems like they're confused.
Michaels: I would say his lack of interest in them had confused them. You can almost see them thinking: "Perhaps he's not a threat after all."
Madden: One of them cocks its head ever so slightly, as if studying the strange human.
Michaels: Suddenly Rand moves! He assumes a fighting position and yells.
Rand: Therin wants to die! So kill me!
Madden: The Borg now sense a threat and raise their weapons. One of them opens fire and hits Rand in the chest.
Michaels: Dodging a phaser blast is difficult certainly, but to me it didn't even look like Rand tried to dodge.
Madden: Hold on there Al, as Rand slumps to the ground, a bar of purple light shoots from his hand and strikes one of the Borg dead on.
Michaels: So he killed one of them. So what, he still got killed. What the . . .
Madden: All of the Borg have vanished, and Rand stands alone and unscathed on the deck of the Borg ship.
Rand: There Therin, you got to die. Happy now?
Michaels: I don't get it what happened?
Madden: Well he used Balefire, that's for certain. But how he eliminated all the Borg without hitting them all I don't know.
Gene Roddenberry: He must have somehow figured out that the first Borg, the one that cocked its head, had Borged all the rest. Keep him from ever existing, and the other Borg won't exist either.
Madden and Michaels: Oh! Now I get it. Smart thinking.

Roddenberry: Brilliant deduction in my mind. He get's a 10 from me.
Michaels: Well, he certainly confused the Borg. That takes doing, I'll give him a 9.
Madden: I'm only giving him an 8 since he confused me too.
Mr. Sarcastic: Rand won this so called match on either a lucky guess or some pretty good deduction skills that rival those who have faced the Borg before. Balefire is a bit futile and excessive and extreme even for even the Borg. Only a 7 for non excitement in a win.

Final Average Score: 8.50 (10, 9, 8, 7)

MATCH 3
Batman vs. 2 Byte of Borg
Death Star

Madden: I just love outer space don't you 3PO?
C3PO: I hate space travel. And I am not that fond of this place either. I tell you, I suffer whenever I do this commentating. It really is my lot in life. Plus R2 is not here. I hate going somewhere without him. Mind you I will never tell him that, but.
Madden: Well, you are sounding a bit like that Owl chap, going on and on, it's kinda like those replays that the "other" sports station does. You know, I saw a cheerleader getting run over by a football team like 6 times yesterday. Ha. Ha. Someone was happy with the ole replay trigger. Maybe I can find it on You Tube.
Mr. Obvious: Hey, guys we need to get going on this, people are waiting.
Together: OK
Madden: The Batman is coming out first. He immediately hides in the shadows of a blast door near the main Cargo Bay.
C3PO: The 16 Borg have also arrived they entered in from the air lock. They take off in 4 groups of 4. The first four go over to check out one of the reactors. Batman swoops in Bat-erangs them together and off the four go into the Death Star's interior.
Mr. Obvious: Not a pleasant way to die! Batman now has 12 to go.
Madden: Well, do to the Collective these won't fall for the same trick. Four of them charge the now visible Batman and engage him in hand to hand combat. The first Borg to die does so after Batman snaps his neck. His three companions die suddenly too-this time by bullet wounds. Now it is down to the Bat and 8 Borg.
C3PO: I can understand quite easily how the Borg are such an advanced species. It makes perfect sense to share a common knowledge base, just like a computer main frame. Batman takes aim at the remaining Borg, but they have adapted again and dodge his shots, returning some of their own. Batman moves back to a computer console and turns and fires!
Mr. Obvious: A series of sirens, explosions, and mayhem result. The lights in the Cargo Bay go out. Batman uses this opportunity to sneak around to 4 more of the Borg. A few slashes of the Bat-knife later, they are dead. Only half a Byte remain.
Madden: I must say here that as fast as the Borg are at adapting, Batman is known for his speed and stealth. As soon as the Borg know what he is doing, Batman has move to a different plan of attack. With only four left, this is going to get tough.
C3PO: Batman's moves are starting to be anticipated. He takes a shot to the head and barely ducks in time. The phaser blast has partially separated his mask from the rest of his cape and suit. He smiles, and rips off the entire Batman costume.
Mr. Obvious: It's Bruce Wayne. The Borg haven't fought him. They don't yet know what do. Wayne takes each and every one out by "phaser whipping" the life out of the one autonomous beings that were known as Borg. I have always said that Batman is best at hand to hand combat. It turns out that resistance is not futile. This one is over and Batman/Bruce Wayne wins.
Madden: And now we go to our judges for their scores. Hellooooo, Ladies!

Mary Poppins: Well, I don't think that any violence was necessary to defeat these brutish Borg (just a spoonful a sugar should have done it); however, Mr. Wayne did win with such style. I give him a 7.
Maria von Trapp: I have never come across a problems that a bit of singing didn't help ease it a bit. The Batman didn't even try to use music to tame the savage beast. I will only score him a 5.
Queen Clarisse Renaldi: A true leader knows when to wear a mask and when not to. Batman, and Bruce Wayne, fought gallantly. I give him a full 10 points.
Queen Lillian: That fight reminded me somewhat of my son-in-law Shrek. I�ll give it an 8.

Final Average Score: 7.5 (7, 5, 10, 8)
