#12 Erik Vrell & #20 Deadpool vs #25 Dave Strider & #42 Kenpachi

The energy waved roared across the arena, but before it could slam into its target, there was a mercenary calmly standing in its path.  For the second time, Deadpool let out a grunt as the blast struck his augmented skin and blazed hot for a few moments before fizzling away.

Looking over his shoulder, Deadpool flashed a thumbs up to his partner.  “You need some of this, kid,” he remarked before a sword sank into his gut.  On the other end of the weapon, Dave sneered as he wrenched the weapon out.  The mercenary tilted his head, but before he could wax sarcastic, an identical blade in an identical set of white hand stabbed him from the other side.  With a grunt, Deadpool dropped to his knees and tilted his head as blood continued to pool on the stone surface.

Puns at a time like this? For shame.

Meanwhile, a sneering Dave took a step back and shared a fist bump with his clone before it reverted to the timestream.

Erik moved forward, a psionic bow in his hands as he took aim and fired over his companion’s shoulders.

Sneering, Kenpachi vaulted over his two adversaries and landed in a crouch behind Erik.  The psionic prime’s eyes went wide as a set of muscular arms wrapped around his waist.  A moment later, the smaller prime was being plucked off the ground and flung backwards.

Deadpool had stumbled to his feet just in time to see Erik’s head crash into the stone.  Behind the mask, the mercenary winced as Kenpachi resumed a vertical stance and kicked Erik to the grass.  “Hey, I liked him.”

A sword stabbed through Deadpool’s gut.

“And to think, I was afraid I had misplaced that.”

Kenpachi’s fist clobbered the side of Deadpool’s skull.  Seconds after that, Deadpool was lying facedown in the grass.

“Mulligan?”  He groaned as he lost consciousness.
