Ender vs. Alvin

And there's the bell for round 1, ladies and gents.

The combatants come out of their corners, AND...

Uh.

Well.

Ender is just standing there... Alvin is doing something similar, but with a little extra handwaving...

...
...
...

Oh, and there it is folks, Alvin unleashed the DNA Decoupler, a skill most Alvin fans will remember was used against Lanik Mueller to great affect. Indeed, it's hard to regenerate anything when your DNA is separated by several feet of nothing...

The referee is going to raise Alvin's hand, but WAIT, suddenly there are 15 Enders in the ring! It appears Ender was pulling the old subvocalizing move, and he actually popped outside to get some reinforcements! They rush Alvin and prove the old adage "the enemy's gait is down"!

Ender wins it here, folks. We have a bit of a commotion as Arthur Stuart is trying to argue that Ender should have been counted out when he went outside... But there's good old Val argue some mumbo-jumbo about the interconnectedness of Ouija Boards, or something...

Anywho, there you have it folks! Another exciting outcome here on OSC's Intergalactic Fight Club!

I thought at first, Alvin, was referring to the chipmunk cartoon. Would have been a better fight.

Was there a real plan for a Battleschool Christmas? That sounds far too much like a giggly, sappy fanfiction.
 
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
 
Yeah, there was.
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
. . .

Dare I ask what it was to be about?
 
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
 
Well, you seem like a daring sort of guy. I'm betting you'll go for it.
 
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
 
But seriously, I have no real idea. It may have been discussed, but I didn't pay a whole lot of attention.
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Not axed, postponed.
A tad more info.

I remember OSC posted something specificly saying it would be the opposite of a cute Christmas novel.
