Recap

From the wiki page Victory Man:

In Victory Man’s reality, the Victory Man declared Davok stood between him and serenity, as he wished to be unshackled from the abstraction of his reality, and for such his opponent had to be destroyed. He transformed then, his body bulging and filled with veins, eyes protruding, tongue splitting and twisting upon itself into a shape made for attaining victory. He shot then from his tongue and mouth a powerful energy beam, that vaporized Davok’s upper torso into a skeleton.

In Davok’s canon reality, the Gamemaster had spoken with Davok, noticing the man did not need a power up and that it was curious he refused to use his ability. He expected Davok to win unlike Jed on the last tournament. Jumping to one hour into the match, the monster hunter and the abomination were trading blows on equal terms, with Davok getting the upper hand with a feint and a surprise kick. Victory Man clasped Davok’s arm, but the hunter used this for a double kick - in response the monster pinned him down with a punch to the stomach and then attempted a double-hammer, which Davok stopped with his feet. Davok then pulled a double shotgun and shot at Victory Man’s eyes, blinding him for the moment: then grabbed a piece of the arena and launched it at the monster, who punched it into dust right in time. However, it was a distraction which Davok used to hit the monster with a grenade stick, exploding his arm and noted amused it could bleed. The Victory Man roared in anger then, and wrestled against the hunter before wrapping him with his tongue and launching him away. Davok quickly cut his enemy’s wrist, but Victory Man launched him in the air and then double kick dropped him against the arena, cracking it and leaving him on the ground. He declared victory was his, but on the ground, Davok mocked the sentiment, and wrapping the ultraviolents feet on dynamite it detonated it with a broken arm, ripping off one of his legs and standing again, declaring the fight was not yet over. He showed then his regeneration, healing his arm. Davok noted how most people would hide from such a creature and let it be, but he was in his prime: when Victory Man launched himself at him, he dodged the blow and broke its arm with a kick. Laying on the ground, Victory Man noted the irony of having been forged by gods who abandoned him with nothing but victory in mind yet being bested by a mortal, and warned Davok the strongest would always fail and that he would be forgotten too. Davok replied his gods did not abandon them - they were killed by them. As he brutally slashed through the enemy with his combat knife, he revealed the blood from the gods had given him visions of the future, that he would live another fifty years, that he refused to use the god’s power to deal with monsters such as him, to take out the trash. Victory Man asked him to stop, and Davok replied it would be over once he was dead, and ripped the monster’s signature tongue, killing him and declaring this was true victory (man…).

Luigi and Stuffed Crust Crusaders (WON) VS Admiral Pizza (LOST).

In the Admiral’s reality, the Admiral faced the team in a Pizza eating contest out of anger of being left out from the Pizza team - both Luigi and the Admiral had participated in the American wars and considered each other enemies. The Crusaders began falling one after the other - Davok threw himself off the Bucket over believing himself a monster after eating too much pizza, Harry due to being caught cheating using a raccoon to eat the pizza for him, Morgan due to the pizza oil deactivating her nanomachines which she was also using to cheat, Celia not being able to handle so much sausage, and Vera dying in the timeskip with a robot skeleton she had left to eat for her running out of batteries. The Admiral messed with Luigi by eating pizza two-handed or cooling wine with ice, offending his Italian sensibilities. In the end, aeons passed as Luigi and the Admiral ate all the pizza in the world -there was no more food-, Soren became a survivor in a post apocalyptic world and went through seven timeskips, and ultimately realizing their war had ruined the world, both pizza men decided to make peace and forgive each other for their participation in the Civil War. As an angered Berbie demanded to see blood, Centurion then killed him with a punch, while Luigi and the Admiral shook hands and decided to just play videogames next.

In Luigi’s canon reality, the Bucket had been filled with sand and Luigi activated the headquarters battlemode, launching two tanks with his team to hunt down the Admiral who went at them on his own (he represented the American pizza flag while they were the Soviet pizzacutter flag). The Crusaders spent a night camping preparing for battle, Harry looking at his furry girlfriend, Morgan at her fangirl, Davok drinking gasoline and Celia running out of booze. Later Berbie waited, and noticed the fight had begun, the tanks shooting at the Admiral who dodged the bullets. Morgan put her nanites on the next shot, and when the Admiral dodged it they grabbed him. Using his arm power then, Harry summoned not a sword but a giant pizza cutter against the Admiral, who punched it back at the man destroying the tank where Harry and Vera were in. Vera and Celia then began to shoot at him, with no effect - the distraction allowed Morgan to run and punch him in the stomach, launching him towards Davok who uppercut him and used his power to send him flying at max speed towards another pizza cutter summoned by Harry - with this combination, the Admiral was finally defeated and gave up, and the team saluted their leader Luigi. Meanwhile, a dejected Berbie gave a sigh as he was expecting for them to arrive to a regular pizza making competition.
