Fellowship Cup: Boss Fight

After the pressure of the tournament is over, it's time for one more fight, just for fun. (Well, the whole thing is just for fun, but we all know what I mean. The three winners, Silver Surfer, Batman, and Spawn returned to the depths of Moria to face the fearsome Balrog. The three fighters were somewhat relieved to be able to work together for a change, but that relief was overshadowed by the awesome size of their new foe.

Fortunately, their fears were ungrounded. The ancient demon never was able to land a hit. When the fight began, he hadn't even made it to the narrow bridge yet, when Silver Surfer flew into action. While making quick laps around the slow giant, he flashed off rapid blue flares from his hands that exploded into the monster's hide. While he continued the aggressive spiraling, Batman and Spawn began to run at the Balrog across the bridge, preparing their gear. Spawn stopped once within range and began laying down heavy suppressive fire at critical points in the natural armor of the target. Utilizing the dual cover, Batman ran in fast while crouching and planted explosives on the beast's legs and feet. He then leapt clear of the imminent explosion and prepared whatever tools he would need in the next few seconds. His caution was unneccessary, since the following precussions knocked the creature into the chasm as it roared mightily. As the two non-flying characters watched, the Surfer flew down into the pit after the falling beast, continuously shooting heavy beams at it as it fell. Minutes later, he appeared hovering out of the chasm with his arms folded. Any other teammates would have sighed in relief or given out handshakes and hugs. But all present kept grim faces and shared a silent salute to each other. Then each departed, to return to his own world and continue his duty, whatever it may be. The threat was gone, for now.
