(S25) - Ultimus Week

[supertardis101]

2. For this point task I want to recount the story of the S24 San Jose Sabercats. While the San Jose Sabercats seemed to have been on an upward trajectory for a bit, no-one expected them to be at all competitive during the S24 season. Most wrote them off as a team that would win 6-7 or even maybe 8 games and perhaps fights for that wild card spot in the playoffs. What followed these projections was some of the craziest and most unhinged sim league shit I have ever seen. The season started with a win over the copperheads and I think everything just kind of exploded from there. It was won after win after win for the sabercats until the last sims of the season. It looked as if we were going to be out of playoff contention, but suddenly we managed to take two games on the best team two teams in the league and then secure our #1 seed in the playoffs. That was a crazy and emotional time for everyone in San Jose. That night I and fellow teammate went out drinking to celebrate the win. That was when everything started to go wrong for us. That night we were in a bar all having fun when we noticed that our beloved leader and team captain Matty had gone missing. We were stunned and scared at this revelation, but none of us knew what to do in the instant. We went outside and we looked around. We walked up and down the wet San Jose streets, but we could not find him. All of a sudden we noticed something in the trees. We saw somethings swoop through ultra-quick like a bullet. As it swooped through we heard a loud and bellowing Scottish scream and we knew that it was Matty. We sprinted down the street as fast as we could to get to the thing. We still did not know what it was, but what we could see is that it was carrying out a beloved team leader. We kept running and running until eventually there was a large brick wall in front of us. We thought that we had caught the beast, but to no avail, he swooped up and away. We were very scared at this moment. The Ultimus was tomorrow and we were without the man who was the glue that kept this team together. We had been through so much in our trials and tribulations leading up to this moment, but in the moment all we could feel was fear. We saw the giant thing go over our heads once again, but this time it was much lower than it had been before. We could see what it was. It was a large yeti. It was the biggest thing I had ever seen. It was as if a Yeti had been surgically given wings. I was in shock at first. I had no idea such a thing existed, but after a few seconds, I managed to get a grasp on myself. I realized who had done this. It was those evil Yeti's that we were going to face in the Ultimus tomorrow. I squinted my eyes tight and focused. I used my 95 speed and I ran and ran as I had never run before. There was a large ramp in front of us that we used for doing kickflips with our motorbikes. I determined that if I got enough speed I could run up that motorbike ramp and then jump a thousand feet in the air to attack the Yeti with wings. I knelt down on the ground and readied myself. I kicked my foot back and began to run. I ran so fucking fast. Forrest Gump happened to be on the side of the road and I heard from giving me a solid 5-second dammmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnn. I went and I went and I ran up the ramp and I jumped. At first, my eyes were closed. I was afraid, but after I opened them I realized that I was flying. I began to flap my arms like wings and I was moving and soaring like an eagle in the sun. I quickly remembered my target and I began to move towards the flying yeti carrying Matty. I flapped my arms hard until I was flying right beside it. I saw Matty and he saw me and we laughed at the misfortune. I knew my work though. I hopped on the back of the Yeti and began to kick and stomp on him. Eventually, he started to feel this and his wings started to falter. He eventually started to fall near a mountain outside of the city. We were coming in hot, but me and Matty hid behind the yeti and we were able to avoid getting hurt. We all were lying on the ground when the Yeti got up over us. He was looking down at us with his eyes and he began to move his hands to crush us. Me and Matty both closed our eyes in fear, but all of a sudden we heard a loud growl. We looked over to the left and a large sabercat was running at the Yeti at full speed. He jumped onto the Yeti and began to attack it. It was a spectacular battle, but eventually, the Yeti was weakened to the ground. He was lying near a cliff and both me and Matty knew what needed to be done. Matty strolled over and kicked the yeti off the cliff. It was the hardest kick I had ever seen and the Yeti went flying. We were so happy and we looked over to give the Sabercat a nod of thank you. He returned to his cave. It was then that I realized the time. WE HAD 20 MINUTES TO GET TO THE STADIUM. Me and Matty had to run so fast. We ran and ran and luckily made ito the stadium on time. We got on that field. Kicked the Yeti's ass and then went out to celebrate as Ultimus Champs.
