I Have A Funny Feeling

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  

Travis Dermott and Nikita Zaitsev duck low in the crater and wait. Silence stretches out across the lunar plain. The Toronto Maple Leafs are trying to regroup, the team has collected two alien commander heads. Their ally/rivals, the dirty Boston Bruins, also have two. Three heads remain. The Leafs hope to draw out the remaining commanders by offering battle. Nikita and Travis are among the last groups to return, they got cut off early in the campaign and have been working tirelessly to fight through the alien armies. Now they are almost back with their teammates, it would be easy to get careless.

The Leafs do not get careless. Travis hears the ambush before it springs and he signals to Nikita to get ready. Using his Russian cybernetic lasers Nikita greets the attacking force by cutting it in half. Travis gets big, giant even, tossing alien soldiers around like toys. From his tremendous height Travis spots a glint of gold near the back of the horde. Without another word he runs into the crowd, hoping to pluck to gold clad commander from the ranks. He takes a step then notices a pair of Bruins attempting to ambush the ambushers.

“We got company!” Travis yells to Nikita, pointing to where the Bruins will be soon. Nikita launches a barrage of missiles out of his shoulders, aiming approximately where Travis is pointing. The Russian made ordinance devastates the entire right flank of the alien force and also forces the dirty Bruins to duck for cover. In the moments hesitation Travis pounces on the alien commander. His four story, multi-tonne frame lands hard and his prey is squashed into paste.

Charlie Coyle and David Pastrnak race up in time to watch Travis pry a flattened gold helmet out of the moon rocks. He flips it like a coin and snatches it out of the air.

The ambush is broken, and better yet the Leafs got their third head. Three to two, one more to clinch the victory.
