Rivalries

Rivalries are the act of two or more people engaging in a competitive and/or aggressive relationship. It often consists of two or more parties, sometimes one being unknowing to the rivalry itself.

### The First Rivalry (The Ass Busters vs The Samurai)

#### The Ass Busters

The Ass Busters is the offending team on the TAB vs TS rivalry. The members consist of just IMavAttack and IDashie, and they drive an "Ass Car". The team was created when IDashie decided that Damien was abusive for calling his daughter (C) a "Little sh\*\*", so he and IMav set out to "sacrifice Damien to create a new portal to Headspace 3.0", which was The Man's made up excuse for trying to abduct Damien whilst pretending to be Dashie.

IDashie tried to make allies with the Piano People as he knew that The Samurai were scared of them, which made the Piano People unusually upset, so the leader lied after claiming that he agreed and would help them. They were granted access to Dashie's Workvan to ambush the Samurai, but they intentionally totaled it instead, waited a week, and then set out to contact the Samurai, trying to inform them of the attacks that the Ass Busters had planned. However, the plans had already been executed, but the plans failed. The Samurai accepted the Piano People as their allies after Damien discussed it with the leader.

IDashie attempted to make The Man his ally, but the plan became yet another fail as The Man's son, Jared, got excited and went overboard and broke into Quary's room while searching for Damien. IDashie had gone out to The Man's House and asked him for help after explaining what he wanted to do, and the Man agreed as long as he could "get with" Damien after. IMavAttack and IDashie fought after they left as IDashie had agreed without realizing that the Man was talking about caging and repeatedly raping and forcing Damien to be with him and his son. IMavAttack figured this out after IDashie had gone outside and the Man said that this was how he'd teach his son about "it". IMavAttack immediately got uncomfortable and left the house. IDashie immediately was upset by the idea and set up Jared to mess up the plan after he caught him on his way home from school. IDashie was much more infuriated after Jared wouldn't stop excreting on the seat covers of the Ass Car.

#### The Samurai

The Samurai is the temperate team in the TAB vs TS rivalry. They are the opposite of the offending team, The Ass Busters. The Samurai consists of Brandon, Damien, C, and Cory. The Samurai are joinable currently and they are a very peaceful team. The Samurai was created when the Ass Busters attempted to kill Damien whilst he and Cory were broken up. Lots of things were revealed on that night, like Cory being still in love with Damien. When Dashie attempted to kill Damien, Cory sacrificed his life for him and forcefully took the slashes instead.

Their only allies currently are the Piano People, and they usually sport around in Cory's Mom's Jeep after Cory had to be rushed to the hospital. This made Cory think of what could have happened if he hadn't been driving the Jeep, as there would've been no space for him after he got slashed.

Their official hideout was previously Brandon's house. before Dashie crashed the Ass Car through the garage door after figuring out who's house it was. Their new hideout is Terrance's house, as the Ass Busters don't know who Terrance is, or where he lives.

#### The First Hit

The First Hit was an event that took place at 11 PM on August 11th, 2014, and ended at 2 AM on August 12th, 2014. It occurred in the Traditional Headspaces after The Ass Busters went through one of IMavAttack's freshly opened portals and went off to attempt to kill Damien in order to open a portal to Headspace 3.0, as he had been resurrected recently after a run-in with The Man.

IDashie pulled up to the house Damien and C were squatting in, and taunted the two for a few minutes, before realizing that the Jeep in front of them was Brandon and Cory. Dashie drove through the front door, which sent Damien and C running out of the debris and getting into the Jeep. Cory backed the Jeep up, and sped away, thinking after a few minutes of peace that he was free, but the sirens in the distance said otherwise. Within minutes, the Ass Car had caught up to the Jeep, and Damien was shooting out of the back window behind the driver's side. Mav promptly began shooting back at him, but missed every time. Damien hit the Ass Car a few times, but quit when Cory hit a speed bump going 75 miles per hour, making Damien lose his gun.

Mav stopped shooting and retreated back into the back of the Ass Car, as Dashie continued hauling behind the Jeep. Cory swerved and hit a U turn and hid the Jeep at Brandon's house, inside of the garage. That didn't stop IDashie, as he just drove through the garage door, making him lose control of the Ass Car and semi-permanently totaling it. IMav had whiplash from the impact, but IDashie was okay. Damien told C to hide as he hid with Brandon, but the Samurai had lost track of where Cory had hidden at. IDashie picked up a knife from the back of the Ass Car and crawled out of the debris left behind from the Ass Car going through the garage door, and snuck into the house.

IDashie found where Damien was hiding and went to stab him, but Cory flew out from under a table nearby instantaneously and covered Damien with his back, and ended up getting a deep slash from Dashie. Brandon pinned IDashie to the floor as C jumped up from their hiding spot and began hitting IDashie with a cast iron skillet they had found in the kitchen, while sobbing audibly. Mav fled the scene and went back for IDashie after the Samurai left. Damien carried Cory out to the Jeep, before he grabbed the keys off of his unconscious body and got into the driver's seat. Brandon stayed in the back with Cory, making sure he didn't stop breathing, while C sat next to their father.

#### The Second Hit

The Second Hit occurred from August 20th at 11:40 PM - August 21st at 12:30 AM. The Second Hit occurred exactly 9-10 days after the First Hit.

Damien and C were at Cory's house while he was away cleaning his parent's house in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Damien called an emergency family meeting through texts and invited all of the other Samurai members. The Man had come to Damien and asked to become allies after betraying the Ass Busters out of sexual inclinations. When Damien declined, The Man decided to become re-loyal to the Ass Busters, and after overhearing the Samurai's plans, he urged Jared into the alley behind Cory's house after running over the spikes that Brandon had laid for him. Cory arrived home within 15 minutes and went through the back alley, while Jared crawled up under the Jeep without his knowledge. The two snuck into the Jeep through the window, and sped off. They began the route to Terrance's house, their new hideout, when Damien urged Cory to stop the car, as he had heard rustling under the floorboards. Cory hit the brakes, sending Jared flying out from under the Jeep, and skidding across the road. Brandon urged Cory to run him over, and so he did. Cory drove over Jared, and headed to Terrance's house. The Ass Busters searched almost all of downtown Ann Arbor, but never found the Samurai.

#### The Last Straw

The Last Straw was a series of domino-events that occurred when The Samurai created an emergency meeting after Damien found out about The Man's plans to drag his body into his fantasy world that he had created inside his own head, based off of his book "Fecal Fantasies".

Brandon created a plan to prevent this from happening. The first plan created by Brandon included Quary sizing he and Damien down, and entering The Man's brain through his ear. The second plan, which was created by Quary, which was a hybrid of Brandon's original plan included sizing Brandon and Damien down, and sending Cory to the same headspace to knock the Man out after Damien rescued his placeholder, but it was called off after Brandon pointed out that Cory was far too skinny and had nowhere near enough muscle mass to hold off The Man while Brandon and Damien escaped with the placeholder. When Damien pointed out that it would be insanely disgusting to go into The Man's imagination through his ear, the plan was called off due to everybody agreeing, including Brandon. The third plan was the same as Quary's previous hybrid plan, but with Dave instead of Cory, as he was much more developed and much stronger than his younger source, Cory.

Quary agreed, reluctantly, as he drove Damien and Brandon to go pick up Dave, after creating a group with him and discussing it. Dave immediately joined to help them take down The Man after hearing about the story, and the Man's plans. They went to the Man's Shack, and had a small conversation in the car after their arrival. about how nervous everybody was, which lead to the plan re-forming once again. Their new plan was to use some of the Hallucination Stones that Damien had picked up at the store in preparation, as everybody agreed that they shouldn't enter The Man's imagination by going into him. Brandon and Damien then got out of the car and walked up the path, though Damien was reluctant. They entered the shack and began to look for the Man. Brandon and Damien searched the house, and found numerous nude images of Damien, which had seemingly never been taken, before they found the Man, hallucinating on the couch. They walked into the kitchen, and closed the door between the living room and the kitchen.

They used the bars and immediately entered his headspace. They were in the kitchen, and Brandon was holding the door shut as Damien noticed his placeholder approaching, wearing bondage. He screamed and began to panic at the sight. Brandon tried to calm him down, though he began to panic as well, as he could barely hold the door shut. Damien tried to convince his placeholder by showing him the clothes that he was wearing, which were his boyfriend, Cory's. It did not work, and they began to get into an argument. Brandon urged Damien to get out of the shack, as would he, as the Man was starting to break the door down.

Outside, as Damien restricted his placeholder from going back to The Man, Dave received the call from Brandon to enter and exited Quary's Car, and ran up onto the porch of the shack, and waited. Brandon began to hit The Man with a chair from the kitchen, before knocking him out. Brandon exited the headspace as The Man began to wake up, killing Damien's placeholder, and forcing Damien out, alerting the Ass Busters. Damien and Brandon ran out of the front door and got into Quary's car as Dave began to hit The Man with a cast iron skillet that he had picked up before leaving his house. He knocked the Man out, and ran down the stairs, before getting into Quary's car. Quary started the car up and sped off as the school bus that Jared was on was coming back home. Quary began to hear the sirens from the Ass Car coming from where they were going, as did Brandon. Brandon immediately came up with a plan, which included everybody crouching if they passed the Ass Car. Dave handed Quary the hat he was wearing, and told him to put it on, so the Ass Busters wouldn't recognize him as he looked extremely similar to his father, without realizing that Cory was his father.

As they passed the Ass Car on the road, Dave crouched, but his afro wasn't fully covered, and Quary began to lose his cool as Dave's afro puffed up out of fear, which the Ass Busters could have seen. The Ass Busters, however, did not notice it, and Quary brought Dave home, before going back to Cory's House.

#### KKS (Killa Klan Shoguns)

The Killa Klan Shoguns (often reduced to KKS) is a temperate team, which is one-sidedly involved in the Ass Busters vs Samurai Rivalry. It was created by Brandon, Damien, and Dave after Dave decided he didn't want to join the Samurai, due to his ex's boyfriend at the time being present in it, who he still had feelings for.

The group consists of Quary, Damien, Brandon, C, and Dave. New recruits include raisethaROOOFus, TwelveSpecs, and GlockSxSpeak.

### Tuco vs Jesse

The rivalry between Jesse and Tuco was started due to Jesse asking for Tuco to pay up after he didn't pay during a deal, instead punching Jesse right in his eye, blacking it, and busting up his face due to being informed that he would have to pay full price. He was stopped by Bubba while he was trying to stalk Jesse's House, trying to see if he was home, before noticing that somebody else was there. While the two talked, Jesse escaped with his boyfriend and his boyfriend's daughter in his 1982 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. A chase ensued, but Bubba forced his car in front of Tuco's SUV, blocking his view of Jesse's car, making him lose sight and ultimately give up on the chase.

Though there is a third person involved, Tuco reserves most of his hate for Jesse.

### The Man vs Dave

The rivalry between The Man and Dave began when The Man had Jared track the Delta flight that the two had seen Damien and his daughter get on to, following the flight in the Mail Truck. The two arrived at the desired destination of the flight, only to find themselves in Dave's hometown, late, as the flight had already left once more, without the two they were looking for being aboard. They researched the small town that they had ended up in, only to find out that it was none other than Dave's hometown. The two immediately began plotting as The Man began to break down, thinking that the two had gotten back together. Jared reassured him that Damien most likely still "desired" him, making The Man go back to being himself, before the two tracked down Damien and his daughter. They stopped outside of Dave's house after breaking into the gated in neighborhood, only to see Dave and Damien having dinner, with C out of sight as she was on the couch, not visible to the outside. The Man broke down and immediately declared his hatred for Dave, before giving up, as he didn't want to see Dave ever again. The two went back to Jesse's House before the Delta flight returned to Albuquerque.

This is a parasocial rivalry, meaning that one party has no idea that the other party hates them, nor has a full-blown rivalry with them.
