This week’s assignment from the League: Ninja Attack!

Who would you take in an 80′s character fantasy draft? Your team’s goal will be to defeat a shady conglomerate of Russian businessmen and their team of hired ninjas. It’s go time.

Hmmmm, an 80's movie about an army of ninjas controlled by a group of Russian businessmen.... okay...

But what if the group of Russian businessmen was controlled by none other then Rasputin, the immortal unkillable mad monk and his goal was the legendary Spear of Destiny held secretly in the basement of the Museum of Natural History. And let's say that army of ninjas are supernatural creatures themselves, ones that police can't kill and can only be harmed by other creatures of supernatural...

Well, the government would need someone on the case right away, someone they've been keeping tabs on and whose secret is known to them, New York City Homicide Detective Nick Knight. Yes the late shift cop who is in reality a vampire, his initial fight with the ninjas would prove that they can be hurt by supernatural creatures. The shadow government organization would recruit Nick from his police department for a "special assignment", but Nick can't do this alone...

Enter the next member of the team, Eric Cord, college professor of Folklore studies and secretly, a werewolf. Years earlier Eric was bitten and tried unsuccessfully to cure himself of his lycanthropic curse but instead found a way to control the wolf and has used the abilities to battle other supernatural entities over the years, sometimes on behalf of the government agency. Nick is introduced to Eric and the two head out for the next recruit with time running short...

The two head to Grand Central Station where they are to meet the next member of their group and are attacked by an ambush of the ninjas. The Vampire cop and Werewolf professor at first hold their own until the growing number of ninjas begin to overwhelm them. As things seem to be over for the pair a business man in a long trench coat and wide brimmed hat leaps into the fray, tearing the ninjas apart with a blood curdling laugh and strength that rivals Nick's. One of the ninjas manages to slash the face of this new combatant only to have the skin of the man fall away like a rubber mask revealing a corpse like half face partially obscured by bandages. The bewildered ninja is swiftly put out of his misery by a shotgun blast from a dark haired man dressed in a blue shirt and tan pants and bearing a metal hand that appears to have been made from a knight's gauntlet by a college student who really should not have had any knowledge of advanced robotic hand replacement. As the ninjas vanish, Nick and Eric greet their new partners, Dr Peyton Westlake or as he prefers Darkman and S-Mart Housewares associate and "Chosen One" Ashley "Ash" Williams.

The four head to the Museum as Rasputin and his army of ninjas descend on the city. Eric, Darkman and Ash head outside to battle the ninjas while Nick is sent to a special room of the Museum by the government agency. The Werewolf, Darkman and Ash, now sporting his chainsaw hand battle the ninjas as the panicked citizens run for cover. Rasputin appears and after being called "Mister Russian Fancy Pants" by Ash opens a portal to another dimension releasing Lovecraftian horrors that begin destroying the area. Nick rejoins the group as one of the large monsters barrels at the quartet. The foursome prepare to battle as they are pushed aside by the final member of their team and the subject of Nick's little side trip. The large hulking figure rushed toward the monster and brandishing a large machete cleaves the horror in two before turning around and staring at the foursome with eyes obscured by the hockey mask strapped to it's head. 

Jason Voorhees, the terror Camp Crystal Lake,  looks upon the foursome and sees only his mother telling him to kill the naughty counselors which he scans the area for and finds running towards him. Of course these are the ninjas but thanks to Nick's vampiric hypnotism Jason doesn't know the difference. The ninjas are made short work of and an escaping Rasputin is grabbed by Jason and throttled before Ash beheads him with his chainsaw. Nick returns Jason to his holding cell beneath the sewers of New York and places Rasputin's head in a similar cell as Eric returns to his home and Ash and Dr Westlake, with false face in place, head off to investigate a sighting of the Necronomicon in a flea market in New Jersey. 

stay for the after credits....

As they go their separate ways they are each watched by surveillance cameras by the shadowy head of the government agency. A spectacled man enters the room and asks the director if she thinks the five know they are being watched. Nancy Thompson turns from the screens and answers, "No Dr. West, they have no idea. but soon my Creature Commandos with be coming face to face with the man of dreams..."
