When humanity is threatened only the super powered might of the Toronto Maple Leafs can be counted on to save the day. On the dark side of our planets moon a threat is once again stirring. The Silver Chalice has been awakened once more, and it thirsts for blood. Sixteen teams of mighty heroes have been called upon to fend off entire armies of brutal aliens. Sixteen have been selected, but only one shall be victorious. And this year it is the Leafs who will drink from the Silver Chalice. #iBLeaf  

Auston Matthews blasts another alien into paste. He dropped his sword hours ago but the combat hasn’t slowed down even a tiny bit so he hasn’t been able to get back to it. Auston loves that sword. It has been with him since his first days as a Toronto Maple Leaf. Vowing to get it back is proving easier than making it happen though. There are just to many aliens to fight through. And there are the dirty Boston Bruins in the way as well.

Ostensibly the Leafs and Bruins are on the same side, fighting to save the planet from an endless swarm of alien warriors. In reality the Bruins are doing everything they can to disrupt the Leafs tactics. The problem for Auston is that he doesn’t know how to be a sneaky underhanded dirtbag. He knows hard work and jaw dropping skill not kicking a foe when their back is turned. Unfortunately his disgust does little to protect him from his opposition.

As if to make the point an elbow clips the Leaf in the jaw. Reeling backwards Auston lashes out with an explosive burst, sending Bruins hero Jake DeBrusk crashing into a pile of corpses.

“Watch it dummy!” The Bruin is seething. “Someone could get hurt if you’re not careful.” Jake leaps back into the fray before Auston can answer and somehow manages to kick a rock that smacks the Leaf in the lip.

Auston aims a blast at the back of the Bruins head but holds up his fist at the last second. No matter what the provocation, Auston is not willing to fight dirty. A flash of gold catches Auston’s eye right before his face is slammed into the ground. Auston pushes up with all his strength and turns to his attacker. It is one of the seven alien commanders, Auston’s mission objective, and it just fell right into his lap

Before the Leaf can attack he is forced to the ground by a surprise assault. Auston can feel several sets of jaws clamp down on his arms and legs, holding him in place. The commander steps close to Auston and punches him hard in the face. Laughing, the alien commander hits Auston again and again. Auston‘s lower lip is beginning to swell, where an average person might have had their jaw become jelly. The Leafs hero takes just enough of a beating for him to feel he’s made his point. Light begins to shine out of Auston, first from the bite wounds, then from his entire body. The intensity of the light grows until he bursts in a flash of explosive energy.

As the dust settles Auston approaches the corpse of the alien commander. As he reaches down to pull the commander‘s head off Auston hears a familiar voice.

“No fair, that’s mine!” Jake runs up to Auston waving his hands. “I saw it first, that’s mine, you have to give it to me.”

“Sure.” Auston answers. “Just wait right here, I’ll be back in a second to do that.”

The score is two to one for the Leafs
