The upcoming fight was Venom vs. Bane. It was a fight between two super enhanced beings who have shown time and again that their opponents will fall if not given prep time.

Spidey and Batman were oddly… unconcerned about the situation.

"Are you two going to tell us why you aren't at all concerned about those two guys going to the Villain Hotel?" Hercule asked the two animal-themed vigilantes.

"Considering who's in this hotel, we aren't really that concerned about it." Spidey answered, moving a pawn forward two spaces.

"But… Vegeta doesn't want to fight them! Something about 'not being a real challenge' or something. How are you going to stop them?"

"We weren't planning of having Vegeta cover the situation." Batman replied, as he and Spider-Man entered the fiftieth turn of their match.

"Then who were you going to get?" Dan asked, "N-Not that I'm worried," He stuttered, "I'm just concerned about everyone else."

"For starters, Hanzo was always an option." Spider-Man answered, "He has fire that can hurt Venom, and his ninjutsu skills would make him able to cut Bane's Venom tubes. Check, by the way."

Batman hummed a bit, before moving his Bishop to both protect his King, and capture the Web-Slinger's Knight. "There's also the option of Mega Man. Between his Atomic Fire, and Metal Blades, he could also accomplish the same thing." He mentioned as the game entered the 80th turn.

"But more importantly, we have prep-time on our side. We can get equipment so that we can defend ourselves properly. Bats can get some armor ready, and I can get some of my old magnesium webbing to handle Venom." Spider-Man replied.

"I guess. But, what about the suit thing?" Dan asked.

"You mean the Symbiote?" Spider-Man asked.

"Yeah. What if it tries to merge with one of the villains?"

"Won't happen. Eddie and the Symbiote have too much in common. Though, I wonder if this is his yandere incarnation, or his 'lethal protector' incarnation."

"'Lethal… protector.'"

"Laugh it up, Batman. But at least my rogues gallery isn't insane." Spider-Man replied as he cleared the board.

How they managed to stalemate for the tenth time this match was beyond anyone's comprehension, but regardless, Batman had a comeback.

"Norman Osborn."

"Okay, most. Most of my rogues gallery isn't insane. I mean, you have Two-Face, Harley Quinn, Mad Hatter, Scarecrow, and a bunch of other guys that I can't be bothered to mention. I only got one insane guy."

"Hrm." Batman replied, "Whatever. I caused the stalemate, so I'll reset the board."

"Fine by me."


"I still don't see the problem. Me and Link…" Cloud trailed off, "Link and I? - Whatever. We could take care of Venom and Bane without a hassle. Between the materia I keep on hand, and Link's magic arrows, we can handle anything that they could throw at us. Relax, Dan. This isn't Doomsday or Unicron that we're dealing with. It's Venom and Bane."

"I'm just saying that we should at least have a plan of attack for these guys, though."

"We do have a plan of attack." Cloud replied.

"What is it?" Dan asked, "And don't say that the plan of attack is to attack!" He called ahead of time.

"Nah. That's plan H. Codenamed; Hulk Smash."

"What's plan A to J then?" Dan asked in a deadpanned tone.

"Plan A is simple: Let Spider-Man and Batman do their hero thing. Plan B, is to let Hanzo or Mega Man use their abilities and weapons to stop them." Cloud explained, "The rest goes down the list, until we get to plan Z, which is to unleash Godzilla and Gamera onto them."

"Where do Hercule and I stand in this plan?"

"You two are plan Y."

"Why?"

"Y. The letter before Z."

"No. As in, why the letter Y?"

"Uhh…"


X: Eh, Cloud's a nice guy. I'm sure he'll put it gently.

Wade: But he's also an overemotional mopey guy who overcompensates with that massive sword of his.

X: And I'm sure that that overcompensation joke has never been done before.

Pinkie: Really? Have you seen the internet?

Alexis: Chirp tweet chirp…

Pinkie: Sarcasm? Is that a type of candy? What does it taste like?

Wade: She cannot be serious right now.

Pinkie: Seriously! What is it?

X: We don't own anything 'xcept the location. We'll be back later. Hopefuly, we'll have explained sarcasm to Pinkie here.
