Note to reader: I apologize for the length of the write up in advance. I was having fun. A quick version is at the end if you dont want to read all of this.
Pre-Battle
So Onslaught, Anti-Vision, and Blink know whats going on, but Dr. Light and Prometheus are both new to the DTL. I imagine some issues with Prometheus but ultimately I see him realizing the power behind Onslaught and hell fall into line. Dr. Light is a bit of a stooge anyway so I dont see any problems there.
Now, Onslaught will be very familiar with Selene and Wolverine (though not so much about the Death persona, though there isnt too much different about him). And a note: Yes, Wolverine, as Death, did wear a mask at first, but the majority of his appearances he kept it down, so likely hell be recognizable. Dr. Light will likely know of Chunk. I dont think anyone would know of Validus, so thats a rough spot. Both Prometheus and Dr. Light are familiar with Green Lanterns, so that helps with Sodom Yat, and a look at his eyes would tell them about his daxamite heritage.
Now, the planning would begin and Prometheus would be great help to Onslaught here. They can see that Validus seems like a challenge, but knowing nothing about him, thats their biggest threat. But he has one obvious weak spot, his brain is out for all to see. They wont know what the casing is made of so the best bet would be to send Anti-Vision or Blink through it and just simply destroy the brain. No brain, no threat. And from there the plan continues on.
Now, as for the Immortals. There would definitely be some issues with Sodom Yat and the others, but Ill let it slide. Wolverine would know Onslaught very well and hed likely be able to figure Anti-Vision out fairly easily, but the rest of the team should be mysteries to them. Prometheus is a better strategist than anyone on this team and with their lack of knowledge Id say going in, the Odd Alliance has the advantage.
Battle
Now Odym does little for either team, as its a very natural habitat. Im assuming it has a yellow sun, leaving Sodom fully powered, so well go in with everyone fully powered. Now, Id also imagine that each team should be fairly easily found for various reasons. Selene is a powerful sorcerous and should be able to use that to locate the Odd Alliance. Granted, shes not as powerful as most mages in this tournament (being that shes a Medium and not an Uber) but a location spell isnt difficult. Now with that, Onslaught should be able to find the Immortals telepathically. Validus is immune and Death is mostly immune (though there were signs of Psylocke getting through which led to Wolverine breaking the Death persona). But nonetheless, Chunk, Sodom Yat, and Selene should be able to be traced. Selene wouldnt be easy, but shes not as powerful as Xavier so that helps. Also, Validus is huge and likely makes loud noises while walking
so finding each other shouldnt be hard.
The Battle Begins
I dont really see much subtlety in this battle. Death will be more subtle in his approach but I dont really see much else stealth. To the best of my research I see Validus being fairly mindless, and most likely controllable by Selene. Being that none are able to stop Onslaughts mind, distraction is the best course of action and so Selene sends Validus up against Onslaught, since he is both powerful and immune to telepathy. She will remain near, but in hiding, to help Validus, but Anti-Vision will also remain near and in secret to take out Validus as planned.
Prometheus and Onslaught had planned accordingly and it is very quick, and so they prepare the assault. As soon as they see Validus coming Blink grabs Dr. Light and they vanish. Appearing before the rest of the team, Dr. Light emits a blinding ray of light, blowing them back and blinding most of them. Sodom Yat would likely be able to take this, but it would blow back and blind Wolverine and Chunk. Wolverine would recover quickly and can use the rest of his senses, but it was a diversion anyhow to distract the two of them.
Validus & Selene vs Onslaught & Anti-Vision
A quick attempt at mental assault will tell Onslaught that Validus is immune, and a mental bolt by Validus will knock the crap out of Onslaught. Onslaught will then create a telekinetic wall when next Validus approaches and drives him to the ground but Validus will break free of it. Onslaught may have found his most formidable foe yet.
Anti-Vision, his task being to take out Validus, will be near but he will remain hidden beneath the ground, calculating what he is seeing and when the best time to strike might be. It is he who first notices Selene near the battle. She is utilizing her telekinesis to help further Validuss strength to overcome Onslaughts telekinesis. With his being alien, I doubt Onslaughts Magnetic powers would work on Validuss blood, and with Selene helping strengthen Validuss strength to match Onslaughts telekinesis, Validus quickly becomes Onslaughts superior.
Based on Onslaughts Intel, Anti-Vision will calculate that Selene is remaining hidden because her mind is unprotected from Onslaught and she does not wish him to reenergize himself with her mind, and so she remains secret. Calculating this he chooses then to act. He flies close and hits a barrier just prior to grabbing the mutant, one constructed with magic. She turns to face him but he vanishes beneath the ground. She begins scorching the earth but he phases up at her feet and quickly passes through her, partially solidified, shocking her system temporarily enough to force her to drop her sorcery. He grabs her and flies toward Onslaught, who is hit with another bolt and falls. Dropping Selene on his chest, he bolts up and right through Validuss domed head and solidifies in his brain, splattering it. The creature screams and falls back, and as this is done it awakens Onslaught enough to notice the squirming Selene who is starting to gain mobility again. In an instant he reaches into her mind and pulls what he needs from it. It reenergizes him and renders her inert. She does have mental powers, but none to the level of Onslaught, and so her weakened state was no match for him. And so Selene and Validus fall, Onslaught and Anti-Vision victorious.
Now for the rest of the team
Blink, Prometheus, & Dr. Light vs Sodom Yat
I know this seems overkill, but its teamwork of two regs and a medium vs a powerful Uber
so I think it works. Especially with Prometheuss planning.
With the blinding light distracting Chunk and Death, Blink blinks up and grabs Sodom and they vanish and appear right before Prometheus, who sets his helmet to the blinking deal that disorients those who see it. Sodom turns away but cant form coherent thoughts to focus his ring, and thus being unable to use his ring in Prometheuss presence, he can only rely on his Daxam powers, but Dr. Light is there and quickly drains the unfocused energy of the Green Lantern. The disoriented Daxam throws a punch and connects with Dr. Light, but a quick follow up by Prometheuss energy sticks knocks him back down, and quickly Dr. Light drains and discards the eye beams from the Daxam, much like he did with Superboy in the Twilight arc of Teen Titans. Disposing of this energy all that Sodom Yat has left is his strength, invulnerability, and his flying. Now, this is more than enough still, but at least this quick strike has severely weakened the Green Lantern.
Still fighting, Sodom throws a wild punch but Prometheus sidesteps it, but the Daxam grabs him, starting to regain his mind, and darts into the sky, flinging Prometheus hard to the ground while trying to gain some distance. But it is too late. Without his lantern shield, Blink appears above him and quickly blinks his head from his body, killing him. This is done within the blink of an eye (given her name) and just as quickly she blinks, takes Prometheus, and arrives on the ground safely.
But to their surprise, Dr. Light lies dead on the ground with a long sword just being pulled from his back. Their distraction was quite good enough and as they focused on Sodom, Wolverine recovered his vision and stalked them, attacking when Dr. Light was most vulnerable. Chunk stands nearby as well, having followed Death.
Blink & Prometheus vs Death & Chunk
Chunk instantly begins drawing mass toward him, including all those that surround him. Wolverine, having planned for this to happen, digs his sword into the ground and holds on. However, Prometheus flashes his helmet until Chunks mind becomes disoriented and he falls back, unable to continue the draw. Blink disappears in a blink flash and soon Death and she are both gone in pink. Prometheus rushes forward with his neural staff and drives it into the head of Chunk, who resists it for the most part. Chunk reaches up and grabs Prometheus by the helmet, but before too much damage can be done he reveals his Zodiac Key and Chunk vanishes to the Phantom Zone. The helmet being imprinted and blacking out Prometheus removes it from his head, his own powers being limited now.
However, by surprise, he is suddenly flung forward with three adamantium claws through his chest. Having teleportation technology of his own that none on the Odd Alliance would have known about, Death was able to better match Blink and took advantage of this by skewering her, and then going after Prometheus.
Having killed three of the Odd Alliance, and the rest of the Immortals being defeated, Wolverine hunts Onslaught and Anti-Vision.
Death vs Onslaught & Anti-Vision
Id imagine that the two battles above took place around the same amount of time, so it is only now that Onslaught begins feeling out for their allies and enemies. Finding none of their allies alive, and no allies to be found, he must then realize that the Immortals have won and if there are any survivors, they must be able to shield their minds from him. Thus, he sends Anti-Vision out to find whoever it is that bested their allies. Anti-Vision flies out, searching for his foe, but Wolverine is a master of remaining hidden, and this wildlife is perfect for him to do so.
He hides from Anti-Vision and knows that surprise is his only chance against Onslaught. He cannot be read, but he knows that Onslaught also has Magnetos powers, and hes just gotten his adamantium back from his previous encounter with Magneto so he doesnt want to face that again. With Anti-Vision having passed him by, Wolverine continues to stalk Onslaught without sound. He makes his way up a tree and turns on his cloaking device that hides him from Onslaughts physical eyes. Onslaught moves slowly, also searching the area, and when he is close enough, Wolverine strikes. Having no mind to scan, and no eyes to see him, Onslaught is caught off guard. We have seen that Cyclopss blast, which is pure force, can hurt Onslaught, so what then would adamantium do? It slices right through the shell of Onslaught, finding its target in the skull of Xavier.
Onslaught thrashes, throwing Woverine hard against a tree. He turns, his telekinesis pushing strong against his foe, but it only lasts a moment before the form of Onslaught vanishes and Xavier falls to the ground, blood rushing from his head. A surgical strike for sure.
Wolverine feels pride in this victory, though a slight twinge of guilt, as he respects Xavier. The thrashing caught the ear of the last member of the Odd Alliance, however, and quickly the Anti-Vision phases through the grounds to where Onslaught had been. Wolverine returns to his stalking mode and as Anti-Vision appears, he studies the white man. Wolverine attacks and Anti-Vision dodges, but loses an arm in the process. He squeals and becomes intangible, driving his arm through the head of his foe, solidifying it. Despite Deaths adamantium skull, this still has the ability to penetrate the skull, and thus, Wolverine convulses for a moment before falling to the ground, the last of the Immortals.
And so, Anti-Vision stands wounded, and the last man/android standing.
Winner The Odd Alliance
Quick Version:
- Validus beats the crap out of Onslaught with Selenes help. Anti-Vision phases through Selene and delivers her to Onslaught to drain and reenergize himself while phasing through Validuss dome head and destroying his brain.
- Dr. Light blinds Chunk and Wolverine to distract them.
- Prometheus disorients Sodom Yat with his helmet while Dr. Light draws his green lantern energy and his eye beams. Having no shield, this allows Blink to then kill him by decapitation.
- Wolverine and Chunk recover. Wolverine stalks and stabs Dr. Light with his sword. Blink teleports Wolverine away but Wolverines own teleportation tech allows him to cope and he stabs Blink, killing her. Prometheus sends Chunk to the Phantom Zone but is then stabbed through the back by Wolverine.
- Wolverine stalks Onslaught, his mind unreadable. His adamantium claws pierce Onslaughts armor and sticks into Xaviers head, killing him.
- Hearing Onslaughts cry, Anti-Vision returns and Wolverine attacks, severing Anti-Visions arm, but Anti-Vision phases his arm through Wolverines head, passing his adamantium skull and nullifying his brain.
- Wolverine as Death single-handedly nearly won the match for the Immortals but Anti-Vision got the last attack in to defeat him, winning it for the Odd Alliance
