The fifteenth titfortat is on! On one side we have a buzzing, bright yellow insectoid. Buzz Off is fast, strong, skilled, 2.2m tall, and got 30 points in the hefarts table of skills. He lost some ranks for his limited mental flexibility, 6 points for intelligence.
The really real spiderman Webstor is much smaller, only 1.7m, and got only 5 points for combat power. That could look like an easy titfortat, but the blue arachnid has an awful speed, and scores a total of 28 points.
Lets start!
Webstor’s crouching in one corner of the ring, motionless. What is this? Is it an ambush? Is he OK?
Buzz Off is obviously confused, not sure what to do with an evil that doesn’t do evil. But this is titfortat, there can only be one winner. So he moves towards the tiny blue thing in the corner, and as he comes closer, Webstor kicks off, rolling himself into the opposite corner, without involving in any kind of interaction with the Wasp man.
Shortly after, he rolls into the next corner, and the hero realizes this must be a tactic. So Buzz Off takes off the ground, and bolts towards the arachnidal evil. He misses him by a little, and Webstor rolls to the fourth corner. As soon as that’s done, he’s unfolding, running to the center of the ring, where he lifts what is now visible as strings, and holds the construction high up. Buzz Off failed to stop Webstor from knitting a web! Now we have a spider in a web, and a flying insect man! Insect vs. spider, what a classic titfortat. Both are ever long residents of Eternia, and too many wars have been fought between Buzz Off’s people, and Webstor’s ancestors. This titfortat is politics, the winning clade will be in power over the enemy. But does it mean peace, or just another war? Buzz Off is a large, fast fighter, but Webstor is even faster, less experienced in fighting. He’s the master of trapping.
And trapping he did. His web isn’t a tacky invisible masterpiece, it’s an improvised life saver. Unbelievable how he anticipated Buzz Off would take off to screen the weird situation. And now the yellow hero is stuck up there. If he lands, Webstor can easily wrap him in a rope, maybe just for a moment, but long enough to hurt him, maybe bite him. So what to do from up there? Buzz Off can’t hide, can’t land, and doesn’t want to give the evil monster more time to prepare. So he bluntly attacks. Legs first he charges at Webstor, who’s fast enough to step aside, and swing one rope around the heros neck. Wildly buzzing, he flies higher, and while the rope cuts off his air supply, he also lifts up Webstor. Skeletors henchman climbs onto Buzz Off, biting his legs and arms. Blood drips down on the ring, and while it looks like a hero is loosing already, insectoid claws cut the ropes, giving instant relief to our hero, while the fighting opponents shoot up to the imaginary ceiling. And then it becomes a silent act. One brown claw got a grip on Webstor’s neck, the busy wings go quiet, and the blue and yellow knot drops down. An experienced fighter knows how to land, the spiders can’t stop what coming. Webstor is buried under Buzz Off, who landed softly on the crushed warrior. Win for Buzz Off!
