"Every dog has it's day mate, and this day is mine. You're washed up, finished, and what's more you geriatric fool, you're all out of luck," said a speech bubble from Deverz as he stood on the main frame of page 1. "You have nothing, I have all the cards now! These pages are an open book, waiting to be commanded by the almighty inker!" Deverz pulled an ink pen from his pocket.
"Perhaps," said a speech bubble in frame 2 near Cucumba's head. The next frame was a close-up of Cuc's face, "but I have been known to draw a bit in my day as well. And no matter what you do, it doesn't change the fact that I've kicked your ass before.*"
[*See
Cucumba Vs Deverz, issue 2, ed.]
Deverz's face screwed up with rage as he flew at Cucumba, both fist forward. Cucumba dropped into a fighting stance. Deverz flew through the frames, and kicked (
THUD!) Cuc in the chest sending him somewhere on page 3. He then flew up and dropped on the pickled one from the top of the page. Cucumba was just getting to his feet when he heard, "
DEATH FROM ABOVE" and was speared in the gut by Deverz. The floor of frame 15 wasn't nearly strong enough to hold the blow, and the admins went through the floor to frame 18 (
CRACKOOM!). Deverz began to furiously draw as Cuc regained his footing.
Cucumba looked around and couldn't belive what he saw, the younger admin had drawn 6 sexy, scantlily clad playboy playmates.
"Alright Girls, do what you do so damn well!" They began to converge on Deverz. "NO, not
that thing, the other thing!"
The girls looked at eachother and nodded. They rushed at Cucumba like Charlie's Angels from hell, but they were blocked at every turn by the mighty admin's martial skill.
Dev had drawn another one to keep him company and feed him grapes when he heard the sound of a ban saber. He looked over to see Cucumba standing with shredded paper all around his feet, ban saber at the finish of a strike. Cucumba turned his saber off and hoisted it on his belt. "I expect better from you, Dev."
"Well what do you expect? This is a BS Venue, I'm trying!"
"Let me show you how it's done then."
Cucumba motioned his arms in a wide sweep as the pages came to life as a city scape. He rushed at Dev, who was staring at the remaining playmates legs, grabbed him by his shirt and jumped. Frame 25 showed Cucumba ramming Deverz's head into the overhead stonework of the Supreme Court's awning (
CRACK!), breaking the thick stone into rubble. Dev fell and regained his footing in frame 27, just as Cucumba grabbed his wrist and wung him into one of the many collumns out in front of the building. The dirt fell from the crevaces, and cracks formed along the length.
"I'm going to enjoy this Mr. Deverz." Cucumba cracked his neck with a simple head turn, and began blasting Deverz with a flurry of bullet time punches (
BIFF! BAM! WHAP! BOOM!).
"This, this is impossible . . ." Dev Struggled to regain footing, "You can't be that strong."
"Not impossible, it is inevitable," said Cucumba from the the final frame of page 5.
