The Season 6 finale sent the three members of Team C, a nuclear refrigerator, a Floridian barbarian and a rat-man magician, back to the scene of their mission at Emmery’s Tavern to fight for the right to lead. Frigidoom, Bob the Barbarian and The Duke brought crystal meth, gators, nuclear strikes and a remarkable amount of fecal matter. In the end the fight was decided by a crowd of children with very hurtful opinions.

The Story

Tax Day Eve

Deep in The Dread Fortress, something was being thrown around, and something was screeching. That was Thea, tearing the place apart in search of whatever she had lost. The Arbiter walked in wearing small spectacles and carrying an old pull-handle adding machine, the kind “an old style bookie” would use, because tax day was tomorrow. Thea had stocked the blue slushies for the finale. She had not saved a single receipt. “I mean, I fed them to Doug,” she explained, while Doug yelled for more in the background. When they bought from Stone Cola, she had refused a receipt to save the trees.

The Arbiter: “You’re about seven weeks old. I think it’s time for you to hear this. You fucked us.”

The tax people, he explained, needed to see everything: “When you take a fart, they need to smell it.” Thea helpfully offered her jar of saved farts. The Arbiter put the whole problem off until after the Deathmatch. Then Thea realized she had forgotten the Grandmaster, and she searched under chairs and inside jars before the Arbiter suggested the throne room. She clapped open a portal, and the Grandmaster was already waiting there, because a little note had told her to be early. Thea asked for a raise. “Well, zero times anything is still zero,” said the Arbiter.

Team C Returns From Vacation

Thea clapped in the three champions. The Duke arrived first, ready to “grace the masses with my magic and my, well, fecal matter as usual.” That matter currently held a couple of his enemies’ corpses and a few aged cheeses, one of them from 1832. When the talk turned to tax evasion, the Grandmaster grabbed the Arbiter’s adding machine and threw it. It hit Frigidoom.

Frigidoom took it in stride and handed out snacks: fruit, vegetables, chips, sodas, and a nacho cheese that was “still moving for some reason, but it should still be edible.” Thea’s jaw opened to the size of her whole body and swallowed the fruit tray. Bob had been chilling in the fridge’s shadow, promising to find the Duke’s ass and kick it. In reply, the Duke pulled a loaded diaper from his hat and put it on.

The Grandmaster had given them one assignment: the winner would name the team. Nobody had prepared a name, because she had sent them to Duval for the week. “I knew it was a mistake,” she sighed. Bob, a proud Floridian, was unbothered: “Once you go Duval, you never don’t Duval. Duval!” Frigidoom came home with a Jacksonville jaguar magnet.

The Stakes in the Tavern

Emmery’s Tavern was still a wreck from Part 1. The werewolf was dead, but its corpse had never been removed. Drunks lay passed out across the tables, and the vomit had dried in pools. The ceiling had been made transparent, so thousands of Acolytes in the floating grandstands could scream, throw slushies and punch each other while Emmery quietly wiped the bar.

The Grandmaster laid out the stakes. The winner would become “the person you all follow, the decisions you will obey, the location you will follow to live at.” Bob said “With pleasure” in the middle of her dramatic pause. “I now hate all of you equally,” she replied. She then told Emmery that his bar meant nothing to her and ordered the champions to destroy it. “I do not have insurance,” said Emmery, and he boarded up the kitchen.

Viagra, Jaguars and Nukes

Frigidoom struck first. His jello arm coiled like a spring and drove a pointed jello spear into Bob’s chest. A turkey-leg club failed to find the Duke, who hid behind a plank torn from the tavern repairs. The Duke also wrote a brand-new rule on the spot forbidding Frigidoom in particular from attacking twice: “It is canon now.”

Bob then revealed what he had learned from the old people down in Florida. He pulled a bottle of Viagra from his jorts and swallowed three pills, and his muscles swelled. His jorts ripped open and a giant “trouser snake” burst out and struck deep into the fridge’s plumbing. Next he summoned the Ass Jaguar from the Florida swamps, which sniffed out the rat’s ass and torpedoed straight at it. The Duke’s diaper turned out to be laced with metal, and the jaguar broke its nose. Bob recalled it into a Pokeball and threw the ball away.

The Duke answered with a rat trap baited with a Coors Light, which Bob simply drank. He sent a crew of rats in hard hats to dismantle Frigidoom’s back panel, and he offered Bob a plushie gator that screamed “Duval!” and exploded into biting rat men. “Nothing betrays Florida Man that’s from the state of Florida,” said Bob.

In the next round, Frigidoom’s ice cannon missed but left Bob slick and wet for the rest of the fight. A horde of spoiled-food monsters charged the Duke, who bit the head off one and promptly got sick. Bob invoked “the age-old tradition of Florida swinging,” and a crowd of elderly swingers burst through the fridge’s hinges, bringing venereal disease with them, and rummaged through his crisper drawer. “Is this a kid’s show?” the Duke asked. Bob then split a Florida sinkhole under the Duke and drew the rat’s first blood.

The Duke escalated hard. From his hat he pulled an artillery system, and rat spotters with binoculars called in two nuclear strikes on Frigidoom. Both landed. The Grandmaster bowed and apologized for doubting him. He followed up with a giant Brooklyn hood rat in size 16 Tims and gold chains, who shot Bob with two Glocks. When the Arbiter then rolled a perfect 20, he rose with his white wings flared: “They said it was impossible, but not for me.”

Grandma, Meth and the Shitlord

The Acolytes celebrated with fireworks they had smuggled in under their chairs. The fireworks hurt no one, which annoyed the crowd enough to start a second chaos event. A grandma emerged carrying a silver-tinned platter that smelled of each champion’s favorite food. Frigidoom smelled Chinese takeout long past its date. The Duke smelled ham. Only Bob gave in, to the smell of gator, and this raised the question of his pet gator Denise. Bob explained that his gators want to be eaten by him after they die, so they can live on inside him. Asked whether that made him their god, he answered, “Of course.” “If you beat him, you beat a god,” said the Grandmaster.

After a break (gator bites were half price at the concession stand), Frigidoom shut down and became, for a minute, just a fridge. Bob’s Viagra had hit “the four-hour limit,” and his jorts exploded in blood, “bad blood because of all that time I spent with the old people in the villages.” The blood missed the Duke. “You missed the wrong hole,” the Duke taunted. “I’ve never missed the hole in my life,” said Bob. The blood missed, but two crystal meth punches did not. The Duke got so high that he had a rat replace the fridge’s ice with crystal meth. “You are now addicted, brother. Join us.” “We don’t condone crystal meth, Acolytes,” the Grandmaster clarified. The Duke’s shit-covered fist, aimed at Bob’s asshole, could not penetrate those “ironclad jorts.” “Nobody gets through my jorts into my asshole except for me,” said Bob.

Then came a mechanical gator. The lights dimmed, a PBR appeared in every hand, and the Grandmaster ordered, “Roll to yeehaw, motherfuckers.” All three were thrown. “The mechanical gator betrayed me!” cried Bob.

Frigidoom woke up “like some hellish hermit crab made of casserole and body parts and crystal meth,” smashed Emmery’s floor, and vomited a torrent of acid bile at the Duke, who dodged it. Bob rode Denise out of the ground, and she bit off the Duke’s right leg. Hopped up on drugs, covered in shit and short a leg, the Duke awakened as “the shitlord.” He glowed gold and his hair turned blonde. Bob’s ice-oil coating let the shit bomb slide right off him, but it splattered Frigidoom. The Duke went full anime and spent the rest of his turn dodging.

The Box and the Denim Gator

Bob hit both opponents with a Florida Man punch and a mysterious child punch and child kick from his dreams. Then a comet slammed into the tavern and The Box of Chaos appeared. The Duke Spartan-kicked it open. “What the fuck, guy? You can’t just kick my house like that,” protested the hand inside. The Duke offered it a ball of shit (“I’ve seen bigger”), and the hand gave him smelling salts strong enough to wake his ancestors. His bazooka missed Frigidoom. Frigidoom crunched up the Molotov-throwing rats already inside him. Doug then sprinted laps around the tavern, peed on the tallest thing in the arena and farted his way out. Frigidoom alone enjoyed the smell, since it came from his own missing can of dog food.

Frigidoom ran his self-patented cleaning cycle and came out shining like new, then swiped Cheeto-lime-jalapeño dust into Bob’s eyes. Bob became the Denim Gator. He spun like a top with Denise in one hand and an unnamed second gator in the other, whom the Arbiter christened Fritney. Then Bob rubbed his diamond “nipples of justice.” The Duke hit back with a New York pizza (it missed), a Mets fastball and a subway train, which crushed his own remaining foot. “I’m broken, I’m bloodied, but I’m not out yet!”

The Last Supper

He was out soon after. Frigidoom threw the legless Duke into his body: “You’ll be going to my stomach.” The Duke’s final thoughts went back to his rat childhood, when he worshipped the one true king, the shitlord, and to the sad truth that he was “a simple rat man in a single outfit bought from a dollar store.” He died with all his rats and asked, “Why the hell is there a turkey sandwich in here?”

That left fridge against man. Frigidoom began swallowing Bob’s “delicious Floridian flesh,” and Bob fed him Publix deli tenders rubbed inside his jorts, which came out covered “in my shit! And crystal meth!” From the stands, the Duke’s ghost gave Frigidoom a Gundam upgrade, complete with chainsaws, rocket launchers and the smart touchscreen of his dreams, available “for $399” at his store.

Children Are Cruel

The final chaos event could kill either champion. Bob and Frigidoom agreed to face it holding hands. The Acolytes hated this, and a group of children in the corner unloaded on them: “Refrigerators are dumb!” “I hate Florida!” “Duval sucks!” “Britney is a dumb name.” “My grandmother makes crotch chicken better than that.” Their words became arrows. Frigidoom fell first: “They’re so mean. Bob, they’re so mean. I’m just a fridge.” His last wish was a team name: “the leftovers.”

Bob faded next, hearing his gators call him home. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder. “Bob. You’ve held out long enough,” said the Grandmaster. He had survived by a hair, and that made him the winner. She slapped him awake and clapped his teammates back to life. Bob gave the team its name: the Triforce Dong Danglers. The Duke produced a flag from his hat showing three dongs connected. “May your dawns tingle forever or whatever,” said the Grandmaster. The three teams of the season were complete.

Dried Blood

After the match, Frigidoom admitted that his warranty sticker had melted away, but he had his touchscreen. He explained that he refills at the Dread Fortress concession stand after matches: “Stuff comes in, stuff comes out.” The Duke revealed that he hails from Brooklyn. He accepted his place as a simple rat henchman for now, but he vowed to plot an uprising. “I hope you’re listening, Arbiter. I’m coming for your soul and your throne soon.”
