Back in Wakanda, The Black Baugh and T'Vincent continue to battle it out.
With playoff implications on the line, the two Fantasy Managers look
to win their respective Fantasy Matchups in Week 13.


Narrator
With the additional help of Dante Reyes, Baugh's team see's new light.
28.42 from Josh Allen as #7tormsComing wins his QB matchup.


Narrator
But Lamor Jackson and his army score 25.38
as vincent1469 also wins his QB matchup.


Narrator
It is the battle of the sea as Dante Reyes shows
he's more than capable of taking on Lamor.


Narrator
With early projections predicting a loss for vincent1469,
Lamor rallies behind T'Vincent and the Wakandan army.


Black Manager
Sihavea!
Let's go! Evans!

Narrator
Mike Evans scores a touchdown along with 118 yards for 17.80 points.


Narrator
Lamor sets up another attack, but is quickly met by The Black Baugh.


The Black Baugh
You should've stayed out of my business, foreigner.

Narrator
Chase Brown goes off for 16 points along with 17.30 from Kyren Williams.


Narrator
But despite a strong effort from the defending League Champion,
he finds himself behind in Week 13.


Narrator
Along with Tyresha Hill's 14.30 points,
T'Vincent puts the finishing touches with Courtland Sutton on Monday Night.


Narrator
The receiver goes for 10.20 as T'Vincent wins his Week 13 matchup
and clinches the playoffs for the first time in his WCC career.


---------------------------------------------------
T'Vincent's Objective:
Take Back Wakanda (Make the Playoffs)
Result - PASSED
---------------------------------------------------

Black Manager
WAKANDA FOREVER!


---------------------------------------------------
The Baugh's Objective:
Enter the History Books
(Win Back to Back League Championships)
Result - FAILED
---------------------------------------------------

Narrator
As T'Vincent officially clinches a playoff berth,
he has retaken Wakanda from The Black Baugh.
Despite a strong performance in Week 13, even outscoring T'Vincent with 121.02,
The Baugh finds himself on the losing end, now dropping to 5-8.
And with the loss, The Baugh is officially eliminated from playoff contention.


Dante Reyes
Black Baugh, we have to go.
The season is lost. This is a losing battle.
It's time we reteat, Wakahndaq is lost.

The Black Baugh
No. We do not retreat.
 If Wakahndaq is lost, I'll die with her.
This country is my blood.

Dante Reyes
I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Baugh.
Because not only is that a stupid ass reason to die...


Dante Reyes knocks out The Black Baugh.

Dante Reyes
But you also have a bigger purpose than the battle of Wakanda.

Mitch Einstein
Alright, Rich.
It's Week 14 in the West Coast Cousins.
The playoffs are officially one week away.

Richard Sherman
It certainly is, Mitch.
And it is the most exciting time of the year in Fantasy Football.
For a lot of these Fantasy Managers, it's win or go home.


Mitch Einstein
Absolutely.
And as we saw earlier, T'Vincent officially clinched the playoffs.
He will make his FantasyMania debut next week.
And with Thor Rocksinson and Kendrick Stark clinching first round byes,
we're looking for 3 more Fantasy Managers to clinch the final 3 spots.

Richard Sherman
Yeah and for all intents and purposes, we're really only looking at 2 spots.
Technically speaking, Alex's Awesome Team has not clinched a playoff berth.
But in all likelihood, no matter what happens on Sunday, Alex is in.
He's 192 points ahead of the next Fantasy Manager.
Even if he loses on Sunday, unless a team can outscore him by 192 points,
there's no way that Alex can miss the playoffs.
Not to mention, that he has an easy of a matchup as you can have against the last place DBU.



Mitch Einstein
That's a great point, Richard.
So that leaves us with Dollar Discount, Luke's Lunch Money,
Undertaker, Winged Dragon of Ra and Chuckanuts.
These 5 are essentially competing for 2 spots.
For Dollar Discount and Luke's Lunch Money, it's simple.
Win and you're in.

Richard Sherman
Yeah, it sounds simple.
But it's not going to be easy.
For Dollar Discount, he's gonna be taking on the UC Davis Aggies.
The winner of 11 straight,
there's no Fantasy Manager hotter than Kendrick Stark at the moment.
But for Covfefe, I am less concerned.
Even with a loss, he has the advantage on total points on the season.
Not only will he have to lose, either Undertaker or Winged Dragon would also have to win
and outscore Covfefe by 68 points or 79 points depending on who wins.


Richard Sherman
Captain Covfefe is in a great position, so long as he can score a decent amount of points on Sunday.
But Luke's Lunch Money on the other hand.
That's when I start to get nervous.
She has not been playing well in the second half of the season.
And truthfully, with injuries piling up, her team may have just run out of steam.
A strong start to the year starting off 4-1, but it hasn't been pretty as of late.
With only 1184.40 points on the year, she does not have the same luxury as Dollar Discount.
She must win on Sunday.
It's a winnable matchup against vincent1469,
but the way she has played lately, my panic meter is as high as it can be, Mitch.



Mitch Einstein
And that brings us to Undertaker and Winged Dragon.
The Wolverine and Vinpool.
What's the path to FantasyMania for these 2 Fantasy Managers?

Richard Sherman
Well first of all, they have to win on Sunday.
Kevan has a favorable matchup against Chuckanuts
and if he plays anything like he did last week, I like his chances.
Then you got Vinpool vs. #7tormsComing.
It's a bit of a tougher matchup, Baugh played well last week
and I don't think he'll be laying down in Week 14 despite being eliminated from contention.
But Vinpool can pull it off.
He managed to beat the #1 place Thor Rocksinson last week.
He just has to take down an Omega Level Threat and then pray Luke's Lunch Money loses.
Both Kevan and Vinpool, pulling for vincent1469 to take out the Scarlet Joyce.


Mitch Einstein
You know, you summed up the Week 14 playoff scenarios really well, Rich.
But I'd be remiss if we didn't mention Chuckanuts aka Minhneto.

Richard Sherman
Yeah, I mean technically speaking, Minhneto is not eliminated from the playoffs.
But his chances aren't very good, Mitch.
Not only would he have to win on Sunday,
but Luke's Lunch Money, Winged Dragon of Ra would also have to lose.
And even then, Chuckanuts would have to outscore Luke's Lunch Money by 56 points.
It's not looking good for the Master of Magnetism, Mitch.

Mitch Einstein
Yeah, well we have a lot to look forward to this weekend.
And I, for one, am excited for how all of this is gonna shakeout.

Richard Sherman
It's gonna be interesting for sure.
We are one week away from FantasyMania.
And anything can happen in the next week.
Who is in and who is out?
We're about to find out!

Narrator
In the middle of nowhere, we find Captain Covfefe and Nico Collins.
After their battle with the Black Widow,
the Fantasy Manager has turned to the countryside we regather himself and his team.
Now at 7-6, Rogers aims to clinch one of the remaining playoff spots.


Nico Collins
You know, I heard through the grapevine that Mark Andrews
has been converted into a super soldier.

Captain Covfefe
We'll get Andrews back. 
First we've got to make the playoffs.

Nico Collins
Well, then of course, Widow turned on us.
You really know how to pick your friends, huh?

Captain Covfefe
What does that say about you?
I don't think we can trust anything that we see anymore, Collins.
Whoever that was, that wasn't the Sherryoff that I know.


????
I can assure you, Cap.
The Sherryoff you saw in Week 8 is the same one you knew.
Unfortunately, she's under the mind control of the Scarlet Joyce.
But you are right about one thing.


????
You shouldn't trust everything that you see.

Captain Covfefe
Fury? Is that you?
....
How do I know you're not a variant?

????
That's good.
You're starting to look at the world with the lens of the multiverse.
Experience will do that to you.
But to answer your question, I am a variant.
A variant of the one you know as Nick Fury.


Coach Rockson
My name is Coach Rockson.
And I come from Earth-616.

Nico Collins
616?
What's that?


Coach Rockson
It's what we call my world.
And your world, Nico. We call it Earth-38921.
Captain Covfefe here, he's from Earth-415.

Captain Covfefe
How do you know all of this?

Coach Rockson
Because your world isn't the only world faced with multiversal incursions.
I've seen a lot of things in my world...
Stadiums blowing up.
New World Order.
And even the war on drugs.
But worst of all, half of my country was deported by a Presidential Dictator.


Coach Rockson
Things have cooled off in my world since then.
But now, I see there's threats coming in from many different universes.
I've come to your world because we need your help.

Captain Covfefe
How do I know if I can trust you?

Coach Rockson
Because I can offer you your freedom.
I can offer you Lloyd Hansen.

Captain Covfefe
Lloyd Hansen?


Coach Rockson shares an image of Lloyd Hansen.

Coach Rockson
He's a variant. Your variant.
The one who set you up.
Framed you for his hit on President Biden.

Nico Collins
Wow... he really does look like you.
Everything except for that awful mustache.


Coach Rockson
Lloyd Hansen is a trained killer, originating from Earth-206.
A former CIA operative, then he moved on his own,
became a contract killer.
Intel believes he was hired by an unknown entity.
And whoever that person is, he wanted Hansen to frame variants
of Captain Covfefe all throughout the multiverse.

Captain Covfefe
Why?

Coach Rockson
Somebody wants Captain Covfefe out of the picture.
Away from the West Coast Cousins.


Coach Rockson
These images were taken from Earth-11700.
In Earth-11700, Lloyd Hansen successfully assassinated President Al Gore.
That world's Tai Rogers was subsequently arrested and sentenced to death.
....
Sound familiar?
Unfortunately for Tai Rogers-11700, he didn't have a Mark Andrews there to save him.

Captain Covfefe
This is much bigger than I thought it was.


Coach Rockson
That's right.
And as you can see, universes from all over are being attacked.
I'm afraid it's not just Captain Covfefe who is being used.
We believe the Scarlet Joyce has been dream walking to other universes.
Going to worlds that she has no business being in.
We're at war, Cap. And we need soldiers.

Captain Covfefe
What do you want from me?

Coach Rockson
Come with me to Earth-616.
You can work with my team to find Hansen.
And once we get a hold of Hansen, we find out who hired him.
I believe that'll help us find the source of this multiversal madness.


Nico Collins
I don't know Cap...
Even if what this "Coach Rockson" says is true,
I don't like the idea of going to another universe.
I've already been to another world.
This is dangerous and we have no idea what to expect.


The news cuts on.

Trish Tilby
Trish Tilby with FC News.
We are receiving reports that there has been an incident at Black Gate Prison.
Sources report that a manhunt is underway
as the criminal mastermind known as The Joker has escaped Black Gate Prison.


Trish Tilby
We are still waiting for additional information,
but be advised The Joker is considered armed and dangerous.
If you come across this man, please call your local police...
Wait just one second.
Additional details are coming in...


Trish Tilby
And I am shocked to report that billionaire Fantasy Manager,
Kendrick Stark is reportedly responsible for aided and abetted The Joker with his escape.
That's right. Kendrick Stark also known as MarthaMan and broken The Joker out of prison.
San Francisco, please be vigilant.


Nico Collins
Holy shit... why would Stark do that?

Captain Covfefe
Because maybe it's not really Stark.
We may have a Stark variant on the loose in Earth-415.
I'm sorry Coach, but it looks like there's more multiversal chaos going on in my world.
I'm afraid I can't go with you.
I need to stay here and handle the situation.
If I can get to this Stark variant, maybe he can tell me who hired him.


---------------------------------------------------
Captain Covfefe's Objective
Investigate Kendrick Stark's Motives
(Beat UC Davis Aggies in the Playoffs
OR Finish the Season Above UC Davis Aggies)
---------------------------------------------------

Coach Rockson
I don't think that's a very good idea, Cap.
But I can see the look of determination in your eyes.
There's no changing your mind.
So I hope you find what you're looking for, Rogers.
But if something should change down the line, the offer is still on the table.
Earth-616 will be waiting for you.

Captain Covfefe
Thanks.

Coach Rockson
Here. Take these files with you anyway.
Maybe it'll be of some use to you, maybe you can even use it to clear your name.

Earth-1887

Christopher Parker
Kevan, did you hear the news?

The Great Kevan
What news?

Christopher Parker
Our lease.... for the show.


Parker hands Kevan a letter.

The Great Kevan
Dear Mr. Kevan,
I regret to inform you that your show 'Kevan's American Museum of Curiosity'
will have its final performance this Sunday.
Due to the lack of ticket sales and poor critic review,
we have decided that we will not renew our lease to perform your show at the Theater Royal.
Unless you can produce a sold out show on Sunday,
this will be your final show.
With regard, The Theater Royal.


MJ
So that's it? We're done.
One last show...

Christopher Parker
I'm afraid so... I'm so sorry everyone.


Baker 'The Bearded Lady' Mayfield
What will do we...
One last performance, I'm not even sure if I can perform on Sunday.
I injured my leg in the last show and my backup C.J. Stroud is on a bye.
Maybe we should just call it off... cancel the show.


The Great Kevan
Wait a second everyone.
We're not eliminated from the playoffs yet.
The letter said if we can sell out the show, then maybe they'll keep us on.
We can't give up now.


The Great Kevan
It's our time to put on the greatest show of all.
Don't you get it?
The whole world will be watching.
We'll advertise it to everyone that will listen.
The Great Kevan and the Amazing Circus come to town!
Chris, you can dress up as The Amazing Human Spider!
We can put everyone to work.


The Great Kevan
If we win this week and score enough points, anything can happen.
This very well could be our final show,
but it could also be the start of the greatest run in League History.
If it is our last show, then let's put on the biggest performance yet!
.....
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open.
....
Come alive.... come aliiiiive.


Trey McBride
Mr. Wayne. Did you hear?
Kevan is looking to put on one big grand finale in Week 14.
He still thinks he can make the playoffs.

Alexander Wayne
Really? Well then, let's make sure we have tickets.
I want to make sure it is in fact their final show.
Let's blow the roof off of that place.


Earth-415


Batman
Alfred, The Riddler has the advantage.
He's managed to frame me for the murder of Chesa Boudin
and now the SFPD are out to get me.

Alfred Pennyworth
How did he manage to do that, sir?

Batman
He's been to another universe.
One in which a Batman variant did in fact kill Boudin.

Alfred Pennyworth
Are you safe, sir?


Batman
For now.
But The Riddler has one last trick up his sleeve.
Renewal.

Alfred Pennyworth
Renewal?


Batman
He wants to burn this world into the ground.
Rebuild it in his own vision.
He's been planning this from the start, creating a universe of corrupt Fantasy Managers.
And he wants to send them into this world and start anew...
I have to stop him.

Alfred Pennyworth
How will you know how stop his plan, sir?


Batman
Because he's laid it all out in his plan.
It's his renewal plan.
He wants his Batman to replace me.


Batman
All the variants are coming through.
I have to find them before they come into this world.




Earth-1123

Vinpool
Alright, Kevan.
We're finally here.
Let's nab this Omega Level Threat and get this over with.



Baui
A foreigner... with a mask.
Greetings, friend.
The name's Baui and welcome to Motunui!

Vinpool
Oh, God.... 
This gentle giant is an extremely friendly guy.
We may have picked the wrong variant, this is gonna be harder than I expected.


Kevan
I don't fucking care!
We came here to do a job and he's standing in the way of a playoff spot.

Vinpool
Jesus, Kevan! Language!
Disney will not be happy with this.


Baui
Hey... I didn't come here for a fight.
But if you're bringing the fight to me, I'd be happy to oblige.
I welcomed you here with open arms.
But I'll warn you now, if you come at us, the Storm's Coming.

Vinpool
Welp, fuck it.
Hat's over the wall now.


Vinpool
The playoffs are stake, so if I have to murder 
a big friendly Samoan demigod to get there, so be it.
Let's fucking go!
Maximum effort!


Kang the Conqueror
68.94 points?
Are you serious right now, Joyce?
Was I wrong about you?


Scarlet Joyce
No, you aren't wrong about me, Kang.
I can do this.
The playoffs are still within reach, I can finish in the Top 3.
Just give me a chance. I can perform this week.


Kang the Conqueror
You had better, Witch.
Because if you can't destroy Earth-1887, then I'd be happy to do it myself.
And then... then, maybe I have no use for you.

Scarlet Joyce
I can do this...


Narrator
As we approach the end of the regular season,
Captain Covfefe is able to track down Kendrick Stark.

Captain Covfefe
Kenny.


Kendrick Stark
Cap.
Heh. It's a bit ironic?
Two former heroes turned fugitives, now on the run.
I guess this must be the meetup group.

Captain Covfefe
I know what happened to me.
But I didn't try to kill the President.
Someone is setting me up.


Captain Covfefe
And I need to know if you really broke the Joker out of Black Gate.

Kendrick Stark
Ah, Rogers.
I did break The Joker out.
But I have good reason. Let me explain.


Kendrick Stark starts to move towards Rogers.

Captain Covfefe
Stay where you are, Kendrick.

Kendrick Stark
Listen Tai, it's not what you think.

Captain Covfefe
I said stay where you are.


Kendrick Stark
Wait, are you saying you don't trust me?
It should be the other way around.
You're the one who tried to assassinate the President.

Captain Covfefe
I said I didn't do it.
There's something bigger at play here, Stark.

Kendrick Stark
I know. And I'm trying to explain it to you.
But you have to trust me.


Captain Covfefe
I don't know who to trust right now.
I'm not sure if you're a variant or if someone is setting you up...
but I'm here to get to the bottom of it.

Kendrick Stark
The Joker had Morgan.
It was a hostage situation and I chose to protect her.
I chose my daughter's life over the threat of letting a maniac out onto the streets.
That's all this is.

Captain Covfefe
If that's the case, then we'll clear it up.
But first, I need to make the playoffs and prove my innocence.
Put down your weapons and bench your players this week and we'll talk.


Kendrick Stark
No can do, Cap.
Because honestly, with all this multiverse craziness going on.
I'm not sure if you're even the real Captain Covfefe.

Captain Covfefe
I can say the same about you.


Kendrick Stark
Then you know why I can't let you into the playoffs.
It's too dangerous, Cap.
Put down the shield and we'll work this out.

Captain Covfefe
I'm afraid I can't do that.

Kendrick Stark
Then we have a situation.

Captain Covfefe
I guess we do...
