Deadliest Warrior, Chapter 23: IRA vs. Medellin Cartel

Narrator:
The Irish Republican Army; unstoppable urban guerillas who waged a bloody savage war for Irish independence. The IRA have proved themselves before, when they blasted the Yakuza off the street and straight into the morgue.
(We see the IRA blowing up a Yakuza base).

Narrator:
The Medellin Cartel; Colombia's killer drug lords who built the world's largest cocaine empires. The Medellin Cartel have already expanded their empire once before in the DW circuit, when they killed a group of Viet Cong who dared opposed them.
(We see the Viet Cong boss blow sky high with a Car Bomb).

                                                     WHO IS DEADLIEST?
To find out, our world class fighters are testing histories most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when the two warriors go toe to toe. No rules. No safety. No mercy. It's a duel to the death, to decide who is....THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!

IRA:
Height - 5' 11"
Weight - 180 LBS
Armor - None
Gear - 30 LBS
Wins: 1 (Yakuza)

Medellin Cartel:
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 175 LBS
Crimes: Cocaine Trafficking
Reign Of Terror: 1975 - 1993
Wins: 1 (Viet Cong)

Narrator: Here in the Fight Club, we take four weapons used by Irish Republican Army:

Sling Shot
AR-15 Armalite
LPO-50 Flame Thrower
Nail Bomb

Narrator: and pit them against the weapons of the notorious drug cartel:

Machete
M60 Machine Gun
Mini Uzi
Car Bomb

Narrator: Since both of these warriors have already entered our arena before, we can forgo the testing of said weapons, and skip right to judging. Any tests we need to do will be done at the team's discretion.

Narrator: First, the most basic weapons in are warriors arsenal: The IRA Slingshot, and the Cartel Machete. Team, your thoughts?

Geoff: I think that while the slingshot has potential to be lethal, it just isn't in the same league as the Machete.

Max: Agreed. When this goes into the simulation, we're going to start seeing hits from the slingshot first, but I'm willing to bet the Machete will get the first kill.

Dr. Dorian: So we're all agreed then? Because it only has a small area where it can be deemed effective, and lacks lethality, we give the close range edge to the Machete.

Edge: Medellin Cartel

Narrator: Our next test, our combatants will use show off their heavy duty firearms: The Cartel M60 Machine Gun and the IRA AR-15 Armalite.

Geoff: I'm just saying it now, I loved the AR-15. It just felt so right.

Dr. Dorian: I don't Geoff, M60 seemed, to me anyway, to have a lot more stopping power then the Armalite.

Max: But if I recall the M60 jammed twice during testing. Just once is bad; twice is a disaster. The Armalite only jammed after we had to literally poured water down the barrel. My vote also goes to the Armalite.

Edge: IRA

Narrator: The third test will be to test out two very different mid range weapons: IRA Flamethrower against the Cartel's Mini Uzi

Geoff: Wouldn't it be better to use a different IRA weapon here? Like the Webley or the HK?

Max: Actually, while the Webley is a gun, it's not the same class of gun as the Mini Uzi. A standard revolver against an Uzi would be rather unfair. And the sniper riffle is the wrong range for this test.

Dr. Dorian: I have to agree with Max here.

Geoff: Okay, that being said, I think the LPO is a horrific weapon. You said it yourself doc, even if you get out of the flames, once it hits you, you're pretty much done.

Dorian: That's true, but I think since the Uzi has a greater range and more fire power, it has an edge over the LPO regardless.

Max: And I agree. I love the LPO but the Mini Uzi seems like it'd hit the IRA before they ever had the chance to use it.

Edge: Medellin Cartel

Narrator: For out final test, things get explosive as our two teams try to give the most bang for the buck with: The Medellin Car Bomb and the IRA Nail Bomb.

Dr. Dorian: I think, if we compare these two, I'd go with the Nail Bomb. While the explosion is not as big, the shrapnel more then makes up for it.

Geoff: And when you think about it, the Car Bomb is so situational. The IRA's bomb at least has a little more versatility then that.

Max: Yeah, but come on, the size of the Car Bomb's explosion is enough to take out a whole group of people.

Geoff: Yeah, on both sides. My vote to the Nail Bomb

Dr. Dorian: Agreed.

Edge: IRA

Narrator: With all the testing complete, Max Geiger uploads the data gathered from the tests into the battle simulation, developed by Slitherine Studio, to simulate a battle to the death between these two warriors. To make sure that victory isn't snatched by a single lucky blow, the battle will be simulated 1000 times. Who will win in this battle of opposites? The IRA, who fight for friend and country? Or the Medellin Cartel, who fight for power and profit?

Close Range Edge: Medellin Cartel's Machete

Primary Firearm Edge: IRA Armalite

Secondary Firearm Edge: Medellin Cartel Mini Uzi

Explosive Weapon Edge: IRA Nail Bomb

It's time to find out which warrior is truly the deadliest. Max hits the button on the computer, and suddenly the screen goes "Matrix" on us.

The fight takes place at a Medellin Cartel hideout in the dead of night. Inside, no salsa music was playing, as the Cartel was conducting serious business. They were getting ready to move a large amount of drugs to the streets of Ireland. After they had set up the base in Vietnam, they had moved northward. Like in 'nam, they were encountering some resistance in the form of the IRA; but the Cartel weren't really that worried.

Meanwhile, outside the hideout, five IRA agents made their way toward the place. The IRA felt confidant they could take out the Cartel. This wasn't the first crime syndicate that had tried to taint Ireland with it's presence. The head of this particular squad had been the one to plant and detonate the bombs that destroyed the Yakuza gang base.

Outside the hideout, the leader ordered two of his men to start their plan. Both men took out their slingshots, and fired several metal pellets through a window. The glass smashed, and they could hear the Cartel inside yelling out. A moment later, a hail of bullets shot out the window in retaliation, but by then the IRA had moved on.

The Head Cartel nodded to two of his men, ordering them to check on the situation. They both took out their Mini Uzis and headed outside. After a moment, he hears a shout, and sees a stream of fire shoot past the destroyed window. Deciding that now would be the time to get out now, the Cartel Boss took his last two men, gathered what they could of their drug supply, and prepared to leave.

----------------------------------------------------
Slightly Earlier Outside:

The two cartel walked cautiously outside, clutching their guns. Hearing a rustle in the bushes, the turned and opened fire. For a moment all was still, it looked like they had overreacted. Then, one of the Cartel heard a loud whooshing sound, and felt a heat coming from behind him. Not stopping to see what it was saved his life, as he dove out of the way just in time to avoid being barbecued. His partner, however, was not so lucky. With a scream of agony, he was roasted to the bone.

Turning over on the ground, the Cartel started to fire his Uzi again. While it would have been hard to pick out the IRA attackers due to their camouflage, the one with the LPO on his back was easy to spot. He was also easy to hit, as the Cartel proved when he pumped the man's chest full of lead. A second IRA appeared behind him, and managed to hit him in the eye with a slingshot pellet. He fired in that direction, but the IRA was already gone. While in pain, and blinded in one eye, the man still managed to get back inside the building.

IRA: 4
Cartel: 4

The Cartel boss and two of his men rush to exit the building, but before they can, two IRA gunmen smash through the windows and open fire with their AR-15s. Boss the boss and his right hand man go right, heading out a side door. The other Cartel dives behind a stack of crates, knocking over a table with an M60 on it. Grabbing it, he moved around the crates, sticking to the shadows as much as possible. When he was close enough, he leapt out, firing his Machine Gun at the IRA. The IRA leader managed to dive out of the line of fire; but his second in command was not as lucky. The bullets riddled his chest, and he fell to the floor dead. Rolling over, the IRA commander fires back from the floor. The Cartel is hit in the shoulder, but his gun jams before he can fire back. A second burst from the Armalite pierces the Cartel's head, ending his life.

Looking over his shoulder, the IRA nods to his fellow IRA who had just climbed in through the shattered window. The man informs him that everything is ready. Walking over to their fallen comrade, the second IRA reaches down and takes his gun. Together, they follow after the Medellin Cartel Boss.

IRA: 3
Cartel: 3 

Deeper in the building, the IRA with the slingshot was walking the halls; his slingshot pocketed in favor of the assault rifle. Following secretly behind him, was the now one-eyed Cartel member. The Cartel snuck from the shadows, Mini Uzi in one hand, a Machete in the other. He planned to kill the IRA with the Machete, so that he could cause this little bastard the same pain that was inflicted on him.

Deciding the this was the time, he raised his Machete and charged. Hearing his footsteps, the IRA turned and fired when he saw the Cartel. A few struck his stomach, but the Cartel was in to much of a blind rage to care. Before he could fire some at the Cartel's face, the mad man was on him. With a single swing, he'd separated the gun from the man, along with the entire arm. The IRA backpedaled as quickly as he could, staring at his bloody stump of an arm. Before he could flat out run however, the Cartel pumped a few rounds from his Mini Uzi into the larger man's legs. The IRA collapsed to the ground, crying out in pain. He looked up just in time to the Machete stabbing through him.

Removing his weapon from his dead foe. He turned and started to walk off. But his vision was becoming blurry, and he was starting to feel cold and numb. Looking down, he saw that the bullet wounds to his stomach were worse then he'd first thought. Stumbling, he fell flat on his face, his eyes suddenly very heavy. He tried to push himself up, put found that he lacked the strength. Deciding he just needed a quick rest, he closed his eyes and blacked out. From there it didn't take long for him to bleed out from his wounds.

IRA: 2
Cartel: 2

-------Earlier--------

After they ducked into cover, the Cartel boss saw that they were in the buildings garage. Right now only his seconds car was here, which suited the boss just fine. He really didn't fancy doing what he was about to do to his car. Reaching into his overcoat, the boss took out a bungle of TNT. Hearing footsteps heading toward them, he tossed the bundle into the back seat of the car, before rushing out through an adjacent door, and slamming it shut.

----------Present-----------

The two IRA walked into the garage. They had heard the door slam, so they planned to keep following. But as they walked past the car, one of the IRA happened to look into the car. His eyes widened when he saw the bundle of dynamite that looked like it was about to go off. He shouted a warning to his boss, who ordered they double back.

At the same time, the Cartel boss had heard them come in, and when he figured they would be close to the car, hit the detonation switch.

Back in the room, the bundle began to beep rapidly as it prepared to detonate. Knowing they didn't have much time, the IRA tried to flee just as the bomb exploded. The IRA leader had been closer to the door, so he was thrown out, sore but alive. The other, who had been closer to the bomb blast, was thrown into the wall, where he snapped his neck. After checking his solider's pulse, the IRA leader was forced to carry on.

IRA: 1
Cartel: 2 

Running through the maze of hallways, the Cartel boss found his way back to the main entrance, the exit door just feet away. Just as he was about to run to open it, he stopped himself. These IRA guys were know for their deviousness, and setting up booby-traps. Instead, he ordered his second to open it for him.

Just as he was about, the IRA leader came flying around the corner, his Armalite blazing. Never one to be outgunned, the Cartel boss took two Mini Uzi from his coat and returned fire. While the two of them were engaged in a battle of bullets, the Cartel's second in command decided that now would be a good time to beat a hasty retreat. He ran as fast as his legs would carry him to the exit, and threw the door wide open.

Now, what none of the Cartel could possible know, was that before the battle ever really got started, one of the IRA had rigged the exits of the building with powerful Nail Bombs. That was why the IRA had come through the windows. Because if the doors were opened, they would……

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

IRA: 1
Cartel: 1

The Cartel boss was throw to floor by the force of the explosion, shards of shrapnel cutting at him from behind. He realized that he'd been right about the door, and that because of that, he was know alone in this fight. He reached out to pick up the guns he'd dropped, but they were kicked out of reach. He looked up to see the IRA leader glaring at him with a mean look in his eye. Before he could say anything, the IRA gunned him down, not blinking as a flick of blood landed on his black ski mask.

His task done, the IRA headed outside through the now smoking exit. He steeped over the pieces of the nail riddled Cartel that lay by it, and proceeded to run off to the meeting point. Even though his heart was heavy, he knew that this had been an important victory. Raising his hand, he shouted to the heavens: IRELAND!!

Winner: IRA

IRA: 520

AR-15: Armalite: 315

Nail Bomb: 130

LPO-50 Flame Thrower: 70

Slingshot: 5

Medellin Cartel: 480

Mini Uzi: 190

M60 Machine Gun: 130

Car Bomb: 100

Machete: 60

Narrator: In this climactic battle, it was the IRA that gunned their way to victory over the Medellin Cartel. Once again, his best weapon was the Armalite, which scored over half the kills in the simulation.

Geoff: I'm actually surprised that the IRA won this fight. I thought that the Medellin Cartel had the better weapons.

Dr. Dorian: I'm actually not surprised. The IRA are great at working in small groups. They're used to taking on better armed and better funded groups of people.

Max: I agree. Also, if you break it down it comes out like this: The Machete was easily better then the Slingshot. The M60, while powerful was faulty, and the AR-15 is at the very least equal to the Mini Uzi. I think the two bombs are relatively equal, but perhaps the nail shrapnel was what pushed it over the edge. And that just leaves the LPO. And as Geoff mentioned, the LPO is a horrific weapon on the battlefield, even if it does leave the one holding it in a precarious position.

Dr. Dorian: Exactly. But despite all that, the Cartel actually seemed to do pretty good in this fight. They didn't win, but they got closer then the Yakuza did.

We see the IRA back at the hideout. While his superiors are happy that he'd managed to take out his high priority target, they are annoyed that he managed to lose his entire squad. Already, the IRA is training his next team, hoping that the next time they are sent out on a mission, things will go much smoother.

The End.

But Stay tuned! The Second half of this back for blood is not far off, where we will bring back two Ancient Warrior Winners!

Persian Immortal vs. Shaolin Monk

Disclaimer: I don't own Deadliest Warrior; but I wish I did.

Deadliest Warrior, Chapter 22: Persian Immortal vs. Shaolin Monk

Narrator:
A Persian Immortal; the precision killer in a massive war machine who forged the largest empire the middle east has ever seen.
(We see thousands of Persians marching toward an enemy stronghold).

Narrator:
A shaolin Monk, the ultimate kung fu killing machine from China. 
(We see a group of monks training and meditating at their temple).

                                                   WHO IS DEADLIEST?
To find out, our world class fighters are testing histories most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when the two warriors go toe to toe. No rules. No safety. No mercy. It's a duel to the death, to decide who is....THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!

Persian Immortal
Year: 500 BC
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 160 LBS
Armor: Bronze Scale & Wicker Shield

Shaolin Monk
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 145 LBS
Armor: None
Gear: 5 LBS

Narrator:  Here in the Fight Club, we take four weapons used by fearsome conquerors, the Persian Immortals:

Sagaris
Bow & Arrow
Spear
Chariot Scythe

Narrator: and pit them the weapons used by Chinese's master of martial arts, the Shaolin Monk:

Twin Hooks
Emei Piercers
Staff
Whip Chain

Narrator: For the first test, our warriors battle it out at mid range with: the Persian Immortal's Spear and the Shaolin Monk's Staff.

Fred got in the chariot, holding the Spear loosely in his hand. His test was to ride around and stab a Monk dummy. Simple.

Fred rode off at top speed, aiming the lance at the dummy's chest. Just as he was about to pass, he stabbed the right in the heart, leaving a large, bleeding puncture wound. But he wasn't done yet. Hopping off of his chariot, he took the Spear, aimed, and hurled it through the dummy's stomach.

Dr. Dorian: This weapon is wickedly dangerous. It can be wielded at various speeds at different ranges. I'm curious how the Monk will overcome that.

Bob was next, surrounded by ceramic pots. Twirling the staff in his hand he went to work on the pots. He struck out with the staff and smashed pots left and right. Slow-motion shots revealed that the Staff was definitely striking with a lot of force.

Dr. Dorian: While that was a very impressive display of martial arts prowess, it still feels somewhat lacking, when we compare it to the Spear. I doubt the Staff will have the same affect on a body wrapped up in Persian Armor. On the other hand, the Spear can kill in a single shot if need be. Considering these factors, the mid range edge goes to the Spear.

Edge: Persian Immortal

Narrator: The second test, our warriors will test out a weapon unique to them: The Shaolin's Whip Chain, against the Persian's Chariot Scythe.

Bob faced five hanging balls, each filled with liquid. Bob twirled his Chain, standing the maximum distance the chain would allow. Suddenly he lashed out with the chain, the pointed end bursting the spheres one by one, spilling there contents across the lab floor.

Fred, who had gone back to his Chariot after attaching the Scythes, charged towards his target: a pig hanging to the side of the track. With the horses charging at full speed he quickly reached his prey. The scythe hit the pig one moment, the next the pig was sent flying, its body covered in scraps. But when the doctor examined the pig, he found that only some of the cuts may qualify as fatal.

Dr. Dorian: Now here we have to vastly different weapons. The Whip Chain is a very versatile weapon, but has only a limited range in which it can be considered effective. The Chariot Scythe on the other hand, is not versatile. The damage it deals is not always fatal, it isn't that difficult to avoid, and it is reliant on the Chariot to do any damage. For these reasons, I give the special weapon edge to the Whip Chain.

Edge: Shaolin Monk

Narrator: For the third test, our warriors lock blades as they enter into Close Quarters Combat: The Immortal's Sagaris and the Monk's Twin Hook Swords.

Fred took his Sagaris and walked toward his target. Since the Monk had no real armor to speak of, this should be pretty easy. His fist blow buried the blade deep into the brain and shattered the skull. The second effectively gutted the Monk, his robe offering no protection from the fierce swing.

Bob was next, looking at his own Persian target. His target was wearing the Bronze Scale of the Immortal and holding a wicker shield, a tuff obstacle to be sure. His first blow ripped through the flimsy wicker shield, and Bob pushed past it no problem. Now came the actual armor. His first swing went wide, and buried into the body's side, cutting deep. With his other hand he swung low, but his Hook glanced off of the armor. Then he twisted the swords and stabbed with their sharpened ends. This actually made a puncture, but there was no telling how deep. The other point stabbed the neck, which yielded precious blood. Next came the finisher: Bob put the two Hooks together, doubling their range, and spun them. When they came into contact with the Bronze armor they glanced off, forcing Bob to grab them before they fell away. The second spin was more rewarding, slicing a deep cut in the Immortal's neck. Finished Bob stepped back and waited to be judged.

Dr. Dorian: This is a very hard call. While the Sagaris has an easier target, it seems so one dimensional. Don't get me wrong, it works; but compare it to the Hook Swords. They have multiple ways to cut, and are just as deadly when hooked together. And while it may just come down to skill, I personally have to give the close range edge to the Twin Hooks for versatility.

Edge: Shaolin Monk

Narrator: For the final test, we try something a little different, as we compare our combatants final weapons: The Shaolin Monk's Emei Piercers and the Persian Immortal's Bow & Arrow.

Fred steadied himself, drawing back the bowstring and aiming his arrow. He took a breath and fired, the arrow flying through the air, and striking his target dummy right in the forehead. Fred shot two more arrows: one striking the throat, the last hitting the heart. Then he fired a few shots while riding in his Chariot. And while his accuracy did go down, it was still a little impressive to the judges.

Bob was next, strapping on some Emei Piercers. The rest of the crew had taken a step back, as everyone was familiar with what happened when Bob tested these types of weapons. And they were not disappointed. The first thing Bob did was gouge out the eyes of his dummy before stabbing anywhere he could. However, the Bronze armor proved to be a bit of a deterrent, and Bob found it nigh-impossible to stab through it.

Dr. Dorian: This is another one of those weird weapons match-ups we get from time to time. This is a case of comparing an extreme close range weapon to a long range weapon. This might be a little more even if armor wasn't involved, but the fact is, it is. Even with decreased accuracy, the Bow & Arrows will have much less time killing the Monk then the Monk will with his Piercers. Also, when put into the simulation, as the two warriors approach each other, we'll start seeing hits from the bow, long before he see any from the Emei. It just may be a case of a bad match-up, but this "X" Factor edge goes to the Bow & Arrow.

Edge: Persian Immortal

Narrator: With all the testing complete, Max Geiger uploads the data gathered from the tests into the battle simulation, developed by Slitherine Studio, to simulate a battle to the death between these two warriors. To make sure that victory isn't snatched by a single lucky blow, the battle will be simulated 1000 times. Who will win in this battle of opposites? The Persian Immortal, a member of an army that brought nations to their knees? Or the Shaolin Monk, a pacifist Ku Fu Killing machine who only kills in self defense? Fierce invader? Or Peaceful defender?

Short Range Edge: Shaolin Monk's Twin Hooks

Mid Range Edge: Persian Immortal's Spear

Special Weapon Edge: Shaolin Monk's Whip Chain

"X" Factor Edge: Persian Immortal's Bow & Arrow

It's time to find out which warrior is truly the deadliest. Max hits the button on the computer, and suddenly the screen goes "Matrix" on us.

This fight takes place just outside a Shaolin Monastery. A Persian Immortal rides up to it in his Chariot. At the entrance way stands the Head Monk. He has heard of these Persians, and what they do. And he has no intention of allowing on entrance. The Persian stops his Chariot and looks at the Monk. The Monk stares back arms folded. Then the Persian snaps his reigns and the battle is one.

As the Persian rides toward him, the Monk takes out the Whip Chain hidden in his sleeve and begins to twirl it. Just as the Chariot reaches him the Monk moves aside (taking care to avoid the Chariot Scythe spinning past) and lashes out with his Whip. The Whip hits the back of the Persian, but doesn't do much. The Persian, taking out his Bow & Arrow, wheels around for another pass. This Time as he rides toward him, he takes a few shots at him. The Monk doges most of the arrows, though one nicks his shoulder. Just as he is almost parallel to the monk he fires on last shot. The Monk ducks, before leaping over the Scythe. This time, he is directly behind the Persian. Before the Immortal gets to far, he Whips the chain again, and this time manages to wrap it around his enemies leg. Pulling with all his strength, the monk succeeds in pulling the Persian off of his Chariot.

The Persian stands, holding the Spear he had grabbed before his fall closely. As soon as he gets up, the Shaolin attacks again, striking out with his Chain. However, the when the chain goes out, it wraps around the Persian Spear. With a simple jerk, the Immortal yanks the Whip Chain from the Monk's hands. Now disarmed, the Monk makes a dash for a hidden weapons catch for some spare armaments. However, the Persian is not for behind.

Making it to the catch, the Monk takes a pair of Hook Swords and a Staff from it, just as the Immortal catches up. Tossing the swords down, the Monk uses his Staff to deflect a strike from the Spear. The two warriors then begin trading blows with each other, each seeking an opportunity to strike a powerful blow.

For the Monk, this came when he stopped a powerful overhead strike. Charging inside the Persian's guard, he struck his enemies chest with his Staff. The Persian grunted in slight pain, but the Monk would not relent. Attacking again and again, he backed the Persian into a tree, raining countless blows on his foe. When the Persian's back hit the tree, the Monk spun a full 360 degrees to end the fight. But at that moment, the Persian lashed out with his Spear, the sharpened metal point meeting the wooden, and splintering the Staff in two.

Stabbing outward, the Persian caught the Monk in the side, just as the Monk turned back to run. The Monk winced at his injury, but did not stop. He reached his Twin Hooks just as the Persian swiped his legs out from under him. He rolled into a recovery, and raised one swords in time to stop the Spear from shoulder. He lashed out with his other Hook, but it scrapped off of the Persian's armor. Standing, he tried to bring his Hooks down, taking off the Persian's arms, but the Persian blocked with his Spear. This turned out to be a bad move, as the Shaolin Monk launched a kick at the Immortal's armored chest. The blow sent him stumbling back, and made him drop the Spear still hooked in the Monk's swords.

Trying to go for the finishing blow, the Monk looped his Twin Hooks together and spun around, the blade whistling through the air. But again, the blade merely scrapped off his opponent's armor, bouncing it off like it was nothing. Emboldened by this, the Persian took out his Sagaris and charged at the Monk; and managed a deep cut to the Monk's arm. The Monk countered by using his other arm to stab his enemies side with his Hook Swords pointed end. Grunting in pain, the Persian swung his Sagaris at the Monk, only for it to get caught in the Hook Sword. But using his other hand, the Immortal grabbed the Monk by the neck, and threw him backwards. The Monk slammed into the ground, one of his Twin Hooks falling out of reach.

Before he could stand, the Persian was standing on his chest with one foot, the other stomping down on the hand still holding a sword. But the Persian never noticed the Monk slipping something from under his sleeve into his empty hand. When the Persian went to bury his Sagaris in the Monk's head, the Monk took his hidden Emei Piercer and stabbed the Persian in the leg.

The Persian cried out at the unexpected pain, and took a step back. The Monk stabbed upward, but his Piercer didn't penetrate the Persian's armor. The Persian swung his weapon furiously, but the Monk reached down, grabbed his lost Hook Sword, and swung it up to meet him. The blades met in a stalemate; until the Shaolin Monk brought up his second Hook and cleaved the Immortal's arm off at the elbow. The Persian cried out in horror, before trying to attack the Monk with his bare hands. Reacting quickly, the Monk sliced outwards with his Twin Hooks, the bladed hooks catching and separating the Persian's legs from the rest of his body. The Persian's body crashed to the ground, swearing profusely. The Monk stood up, looking at the body that cried out in pain before him. He had not wished to cause such suffering. Deciding to end the poor creatures suffering, he crossed his Twin Hooks in an X formation, with the Persian Immortal's head in between the curved hooks. Then, in one swift motion, the Shaolin Monk separated the so-called Immortal's head from his body.

As the headless body slouched to the ground, it's crimson fluid staining the walk-way and nearby grass; the Monk bowed his head and offered a quick prayer to his fallen enemy. After that, he turned and made his way back to the Monastery, to inform his brothers that the threat had passed.

Winner: Shaolin Monk!

Shaolin Monk: 502

Twin Hooks: 300

Whip Chain: 129

Emei Piercers: 38

Staff: 35

Persian Immortal: 498

Spear: 200

Bow & Arrow: 130

Sagaris: 108

Chariot Scythe: 60

Narrator: In this battle of near polar opposites, it was the Shaolin Monk who proved himself in this battle. He scored most of his kills thanks to the Whip Chain and Twin Hooks, which scored over half of kills by itself. The Persian Immortal didn't fare too poorly, with a score of 498, making this match almost to close to call!

Dr. Dorian: Well, I am surprised. I thought that the Persian Immortal weapons and armor would be too much for the Shaolin Monk to overcome. I guess armor isn't everything, and while the Monk may lack power in some of his weapons; he makes up for it with incredible technique and skill.

We see the Head Shaolin Monk back at the Temple. His fellow monks had arranged for the Persian to be buried in a nearby grave site. His horses had been taken in to be cared for. His weapons and armor were added to the Temple armory. They would be used so that Monks might later use them, in defense of any who might seek to harm them or their Temple.

The End.

Deadliest Warrior, Chapter 21: Green Beret vs. Navy Seals

Narrator:
Green Berets' one of America's most elite soldiers, fighting the fiercest battles.
(We see some Berets fighting enemy soldiers).

Narrator:
The US Navy Seals; America's amphibious special force, trained to neutralize any enemy, any time, any where.
(We see some Seals emerging from the waters with guns drawn).

                                                       WHO IS DEADLIEST?
To find out, our world class fighters are testing histories most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when the two warriors go toe to toe. No rules. No safety. No mercy. It's a duel to the death, to decide who is....THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!

Green Beret                                            
Height: 6' 1                                                       
Weight: 180 lbs

Force Size: 4,500

Navy Seals
Est. 1961
Weight: 185 LBS
Height: 6'
Force Size: Approx. 2000

Narrator: Here at the fight club we take the weapons used by two of America's best military forces, and put them to the test. First, the weapons used by gun-totting Green Berets:

E-Tool
Beretta Pistol
M4A1 Carbine
M67 Grenade

Narrator: and second, the weapons used by the amphibious Navy Seals:

Recon Knife
SIG Saucer
M4 Colt Commando
C4

Narrator: For our first test, these two groups butt heads with their close range weaponry: The Green Beret E-Tool and the Navy Seals' Recon Knife:

Fred picked up his E-Tool and gave it a few swings. It may not be a sword, but it looked like it could do the job in a pinch. Spinning on his heel, he swung the Tool at the gel dummy, the bladed shovel whistling through the air. The blade made contact, and split the skull wide open. The team confirmed that it was an instant kill shot.

Next was Bob, carefully his Recon Knife. And when his signal came, Bob went berserk. He stabbed the dummy repeatedly in the chest, the neck, and the face. Eventually he had stabbed it so much, that the head fell right off.

Dr. Dorian: Um . . . well . . . So, yeah, even though the E-Tool has a longer reach, the Recon Knife is an actual weapon, and seeing what can be done with, is actually pretty gruesome. Close Range Edge goes to the Recon Knife.

Edge: Navy Seals

Narrator: For the next test, our two groups will try out their Mid Range Firearms: The Navy Seals' SIG Saucer, against the Green Beret's Beretta Pistol.

This test was conducted at night, and Fred and Bob were given special Night Vision Goggles. They were to run through the course, shoot the targets as fast as they could, all with only limited Night Vision and their respective Handguns.

Fred took his Beretta and started the course. He kicked down the first door and shot the first target. Following that he preceded to do the same with the other two targets, in a rather impressive time too. Fred was feeling pretty proud of himself, until the doctor Geoff checked the targets. While the first shot had hit the forehead, the second target was show to have only a grazed shoulder. The last target had been a head shot, but the bullet was off center, and looked like it had only nicked the side of the head. In total, Fred had gotten one kill, one incapacitated, and one uninjured.

Bob was next and he had slightly better, luck, actually managing to kill all of his targets, but it took him ten seconds longer.

Dr. Dorian: Well, I think the darkness element may have thrown them somewhat, and this may come down to skill rather than the weapon, but based on what we've seen here, I'm giving the Mid Range edge to the SIG Saucer.

Edge: Navy Seals

Narrator: For the third test, our two special forces will test out their Secondary Firearms: The Green Beret's M4A1 Carbine, and the Navy Seals' M4  Colt Commando.

Bob went first, pointing his Commando at the first target on the course. The course was set up to look like a civilian plaza, with five different targets; two of which were moving. One would move toward him, the other would move behind an open door when the rest had been shot.

Firing quickly he turned the heads of the first two dummies to mush. As one of the moving targets rolled past, he shot it twice in the side and neck. The third and fourth were taken out just as quickly. The final moving target rolled past, becoming visible. Bob fired at at, but wasn't sure he had scored a killing blow. The whole thing took 12 seconds. When the doctor went to check the targets, Bob found out that he had only nicked the last target, causing a severe injury, not death.

Fred was next, and tasked with the same course as Bob, did fairly well. It took him a second less, and he managed to kill both moving targets.

Dr. Dorian: This seems like sort of a "the gunman not the gun" but that aside, the test doesn't lie. The Secondary Firearms edge goes to the M4A1 Carbine.

Edge: Green Beret

Narrator: The final test will send this examination out with a BANG! as two of America's greatest operatives test out their explosive weapons: The Navy Seals' C4 against the Green Beret's M67 Grenade.

Fred took his grenade to the specified area pulled the pin and threw it in the seal room. The thing went off with a bang, shrapnel flying and hitting several dummies.

Dr. Dorian: This is powerful, and the shrapnel only makes it worse. If the explosion doesn't get you, the debris might. You'd have to really lucky to survive if one of those goes off near you.

Next, Bob set up a block of C4 in a n outhouse with a test dummy. When the team gave the signal, they detonated the C4, which vaporized the outhouse, and the dummy, and the immediate area. When the crew went to look over the sight, they actually had trouble finding pieces of the dummy.

Dr. Dorian: Well the C4 is powerful, I will grant you that, but it is a stationary explosive. It has to be set before detonation, unlike the M67 Grenade, which is portable. It may lack explosive power, but the ability to move makes it somewhat more practical. Explosive edge goes to the M67 Grenade.

Edge: Green Beret

Narrator: With all the testing complete, Max Geiger uploads the data gathered from the tests into the battle simulation, developed by Slitherine Studio, to simulate a battle to the death between these two warriors. To make sure that victory isn't snatched by a single lucky blow, the battle will be simulated 1000 times. Who will win in this battle of two of America's Greatest Special Forces? The Green Berets, America's elite Land Forces? Or The Navy Seals, America's lethal amphibious special forces?

Close Range Edge: Navy Seals Recon Knife

Mid Range Edge: Navy Seals SIG Saucer

Long Range Edge: Green Berets M4A1 Carbine

Explosive Weapon Edge: Green Berets M67 Grenade

It's time to find out which warrior is truly the deadliest. Max hits the button on the computer, and suddenly the screen goes "Matrix" on us.

This battle begins on a power plant, with the Navy Seals walking across a suspended platform. Hearing noise below them, the Seals look down, and see a group of Green Berets down below. When the two groups see each other, they open fire. Most of the Seals duck back onto the platform, but one stays long enough to hit one of the Green Berets in the chest with his Colt Commando. The rest of the Green Berets quickly take cover by making their way up a set of side stairs that curve behind a column. Once their, they slowly make their way to the Navy Seals position.

Green Berets: 4                            Navy Seals: 5

Soon the Green Berets had made their way up to the cat walk the Navy Seals were on, only to find it empty. Stepping out onto the walkway, the Green Berets have to duck as a Navy Seal operative leans out from behind a column at the other end of the walkway, and starts taking shots at them from behind a large turbine. It seems the Berets are stuck, until the Commander manages to hit the Seal with his M4A1 Carbine, when the Seal leans too far out from his bunker. The bullet gets him right between the eyes, and the Seals slumps, out for the count. With him out of the way, the Berets cautiously make their way across the platform.

Green Berets: 4                            Navy Seals: 4

However, when the Berets make it about halfway across the walkway, a second Seal, who was hiding behind the same column as the first, activates a charge that sets off some hidden C4. This C4 had secretly been attached to the underside of the walkway when the Green Berets had taken cover on the side stairs.

The C4 went off with a bang, killing one Beret by the force alone. The explosion had also caused the walkway to crumble under the Berets, and the one Green Beret standing in the back had the misfortune to be standing where the platform collapsed. The ground beneath him gave way, and he fell to his death.

Green Berets: 2                            Navy Seals: 4

Figuring that someone must have set the C4 off, the Green Beret commander took a M67 Grenade from his pocket and hurled it behind the column. A second later, it went off, and the hidden Seal's body was throw into view. The remain Berets, after checking to see that the Seal was dead, moved on.

Green Berets: 2                            Navy Seals: 3

The Berets emerge in a large room, with turbines lining the adjacent wall. The Berets start to move when the Navy Seals start to fire on them from beside the turbines. One of the Berets is hit in the shoulder, but nothing to serious. In retaliation he fires back with his Beretta Pistol, and manages to hit the Seal with the Colt Commando in the throat, killing him almost instantly. The other Beret starts to fire on the remaining Seals, who duck through a side doorway and run down a hall with the Berets in pursuit. The Seals separate and run down two opposite halls, and the pursing Berets do the same.

Green Berets: 2                            Navy Seals: 2

One Seal stops and takes out his Recon Knife and turns to engage the Green Beret approaching him. The Beret, low on ammo anyway, holsters his Pistol and takes out his E-Tool. His first swing causes the Navy Seal to duck, and finds that in this relatively small hallway, maneuvering is just as difficult for him as it is for his opponent.

The Beret swings a second time, and manages a cut on the Seals' arm, but before he can pull back, the Seal grabs his arm and pulls him in close. Then quick as a flash he stabs the Beret in the chest repeatedly. After about the tenth stab, the Seal relaxes his grip and watches as the Beret drops to the floor.

Green Beret: 1                            Navy Seals: 2

Back with the Seal leader, he has just run into a dead end room. Just behind him the Green Beret commander comes in Pistol drawn. Before he can fire, the Seal grabs his hand and twists it, making him drop the gun. He then kicks it to the other side of the room. The Beret responds by socking the Seal in the gut, even as the Seal punches him in the nose.

The Green Beret kicks the Navy Seal in the chest, sending him stumbling back. The Green Beret charged after him, but the Navy Seal twisted and slammed him face first into the wall. Taking the disoriented Beret, the Seal slammed his face into his knee, before kicking him into the nearby wall. As the Beret slid to the floor, he felt the Beretta Pistol beneath him. Grabbing it he pointed and fired at the Seal. At the same time, the Seal had taken his SIG Saucer out and fired at the Beret.

For a moment all was calm. The Navy Seal turned his head, and observed the bullet hole not an inch from his head. He turned back to the Green Beret, who was looking down at the gun wound to his chest. When it came down to it, the Beret had just barely missed. the Seal hadn't.

Turning at the sound of a door opening, he saw that his fellow Seal had survived. Nodding to each other in acknowledgment, the both raised their hands in a silent salute. Both to victory, and to their fallen comrades.

Green Beret: 0                            Navy Seals: 2

Winner: Navy Seals!

Navy Seals: 563

M4 Colt Commando: 340

SIG Saucer: 111

Recon Knife: 82

C4: 30

Green Beret: 437

M4A1 Carbine: 343

Beretta Pistol: 50

M67 Grenade: 42

E-Tool: 2

Narrator: In this epic battle of some of America's elite forces, it was the Navy Seals that proved themselves superior. With their Colt Commando and SIG Saucer providing most of the kills, they certainly proved who was top dog. However, the Green Berets didn't go down with out a fight, with their M4A1 Carbine making up most of their kills.

Dr. Dorian: This battle was definitely a hard one to call. In the end, I  guess that it all came down to training, technique, and skill. Something the Navy Seals have in spades. The Green Beret are good at what they do, but the Navy Seals are excellent.

We see the two remaining Navy Seals, having patched up their injuries, radioing HQ to report that their mission was a success.

The End.

Mongol vs. Knight

Deadliest Warrior, Chapter 20: Mongol vs. Knight

Narrator:
The Mongols; the vicious asian horse warriors who used brute savagery to conquer more territory in the 13th century then any empire in history.
(We see a group of Mongols firing arrows form horseback).

Narrator:
A Knight; sword wielding slayer of the medieval age.
(We see a Knight on horseback swinging his Morning Star).

                                                       WHO IS DEADLIEST?
To find out, our world class fighters are testing histories most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when the two warriors go toe to toe. No rules. No safety. No mercy. It's a duel to the death, to decide who is....THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!

Mongol
Circa 1225
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 145 LBS
Armor: Leather Lamellar

Knight
Year: 1423
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 180 LBS
Armor: Plate

Narrator: Here at the Fight Club, we take four weapons used by the vicious Mongol warriors:

Iron Flanged Mace
Glaive
Composite Recurve Bow
Ild Sword

Narrator: And place them against the sword wielding slayer, the Knight:

Broadsword
Crossbow
Halberd
Morning Star

Narrator: For our first test, our two warriors will test out some of the weapons that make them unique: The Mongol's Iron Flanged Mace, and the Knight's Broadsword.

Fred stared down the three gel torsos, while slapping his palm with the head of his Mace. Approaching the target on the left, he reeled his arm back and smashed the top of the gel skull. Instantly, the skull caved in, the neck shattered, and the grey matter splattered the area. The center dummy was hit on the side of the head, where again the neck and skull broke apart. The last dummy was just a gel head, and when Fred smashed it, he actually had difficulty pulling the Mace back out.

However, there was one final test to perform. The team brought out one more gel head, this one encased in the Knight's signature armor. Taking the mace in two hands, he hit the helmet with all his might. This time the the skull didn't splatter, but the helmet did get a large dent in it. The doctor removed the helmet, to reveal the skull with a large depression.

Dr. Dorian: This right here is a kill. Even through the heavy armor, this person is dead. It isn't instant, but it's pretty close.

Next was Bob, wielding a large Broadsword. His target was a large slab of hanging meat. With a quick swing he gouged a deep wound in the side of the meat, nearly splitting it in two. A second swing completed the job and the meat fell to the floor.

For Bob's second test, a gel dummy was set up wearing Mongol cloths. Charging the dummy, Bob decapitated it in a single swing. The second swing lodged the blade deep inside the dummy's chest.

Dr. Dorian: This is a difficult call. The Broadsword is very lethal, but slow. The Mace is a little faster, and can affect the Knight even inside the armor. I think that that is the deciding factor. When I saw the Mace crush the skull, even through the helmet, I was impressed. So I'm giving the short range edge to the Iron Mace.

Edge: Mongol

Narrator: Next, our two competitors will launch an attack with their long range weaponry: the Knight's Crossbow, and the Mongol's Composite Recurve Bow.

Bob was first, loading a crossbow. Since the Mongol fired his arrows from horseback, he would do the same. The DW crew already knew what the crossbow could do from the ground. So, snapping the reigns, Bob ran parallel to the targets. When his target was lined up, he fired. The bolt lodged in the dummy's soldier, not a kill shot. Trying to load as fast as he could on horseback was difficult, but soon he was ready. His second bolt struck home, and hit the dummy in the chest, piercing the heart.

Dr. Dorian: The Crossbow is very lethal, but I worry about the long reload time. If nothing else, that is the Crossbow's biggest failing.

Next was Fred, who was feeling a little uncertain. Like Bob, his dummy was wearing clothing to fit the opposing warrior. Unfortunately, that meant that his dummy was wearing head to toe Plate armor. It would take some really accurate shooting to score a kill shot.

Gathering his things, Fred began his test. From the first shot Fred knew this wasn't going to end well. The first shot merely pinged off the Knight's helmet. The two meant for his chest bounced away like nothing. At the third shot, fired as he was turning to make the return lap, got lucky and went through the unarmored elbow, though it didn't hit anything vital. Taking great aim with his final shot, Fred managed one right at a bit of unarmored neck.

Dr. Dorian: Well, that's rather disappointing for the Mongol's bow. Out of six shots, four were deflected by the Knight's armor. One scored a glancing blow, though if it had been a few inches closer, it might have been a kill shot. And one very lucky shot to the throat. Well that settles it, despite the long reload time, the Crossbow is capable of consistently hitting the target. The Long Range Edge goes to the Crossbow.

Edge: Knight

Narrator: For the third test, our warriors will bring out their deadly Mid-Range Weaponry: The Mongol Glaive, and the Knight's Halberd.

Fred went first, holding a Glaive and facing another suit of armor. Fred was really beginning to hate that thing. His first slash scrapped the chest-plate, without piercing it. Deciding to try a different tactic, Fred aimed at the arm and leg joints of the armor. With an upward slash, he was able to leave a deep gouge in the right arm. Continuing the combo, he slashed through the opening in the leg armor, which resulted in a satisfying splash of blood. None of his other attacks managed to do much, but he had proven his point. The Glaive could get at the Knight, even through his armor.

Bob's Halberd, however, had a much easier time getting through the Mongol's Leather Lamellar armor. With a single swing, he almost bifurcated the dummy right down the middle. With a second swing the job was done, and the dummy fell into four pieces.

Dr. Dorian: Well, while I am impressed that the Glaive was able to do some damage, I don't think it is enough. The Halberd is incredibly lethal, and if the Mongol can't get the Knight in one shot, the Halberd will make sure he doesn't second. The Mid Range Edge goes to the Halberd.

Edge: Knight

Narrator: For the Final Test, the two warriors dole out punishment with their Special Weapons: The Knight's Morning Star, and the Mongol Ild Sword.

Bob carefully strapped on his protective gear. Even though he was an expert in using the Morning Star, it was still very dangerous. Twirling the spiked-ball, his first shot aimed to take out the head. In a spray of blood, the head was reduced to a sickening mush. Next he aimed at the Leather Lamellar armor. The ball hit the side with a crunch. The doctor examined the wound, and found that the blow was not an instant kill. Some ribs were bruised, and one was cracked, but nothing that would cause an instant death.

Next was Fred, who was sure that this weapon would be a great success. Spinning the blade in his hand, he charged the dummy in Plate armor. He sliced at the head, and the thin blade past between the joints and nicked the neck. Twisting the sword again, he stabbed through the armpit up to the Ild Sword's hilt. The last one went under the Chest Plate, and actually managed to pierce the Chain-mail beneath.

Dr. Dorian: Well that is a surprise. I wasn't sure how the Mongol was going to make a comeback, but this certainly helps. While the Morning Star is without a doubt lethal, it is also very unruly. The weapon itself doesn't have a very good range, and is difficult to wield in complex ways. The Ild Sword can get though the nicks in the Knight's armor, it's longer, and it can change direction more fluidly then the Morning Star. So for the special weapon, the Ild Sword takes it.

Edge: Mongol

Narrator: With all the testing complete, Max Geiger uploads the data gathered from the tests into the battle simulation, developed by Slitherine Studio, to simulate a battle to the death between these two warriors. To make sure that victory isn't snatched by a single lucky blow, the battle will be simulated 1000 times. Who will win in this battle of warriors? The Mongol who fought with his kinsmen to conquer a great deal of 13th century Asia? Or the Knight, who killed thousands of "heathen scum" with his fellow Knights for their King?

Short Range Edge: Mongol's Iron Flanged Mace

Mid Range Edge: Knight's Halberd

Long Range Edge: Knight's Crossbow

Special Weapon Edge: Mongol's Ild Sword

It's time to find out which warrior is truly the deadliest. Max hits the button on the computer, and suddenly the screen goes "Matrix" on us.

This fight begins in a deep forest. In the forest, a Mongol warrior rode his horse  into a clearing. Hearing a noise on the opposite end of the clearing, the Mongol turned to see a Knight riding out of the brush. The two warriors eyed each other, before the Knight took out his Morning Star, and charged at the Mongol. The Mongol took out his Bow & Arrow and fired at the Knight. But the Arrows only bounced off the Knight's armor, and the Mongol had to move his horse to avoid loosing his head as the Knight charge past swinging his Morning Star. Twisting in his saddle the Mongol fired at the Knight's back, but still had no successes.

The Knight turned and charged again, and made sure to get as close as he could before he swung to kill. The Mongol ducked awkwardly in his saddle, his hat being knocked off his head as the Knight road past. Acting quickly the Mongol grabbed onto the Knight's arm and pulled. With his horse still moving forward the Knight was jerked back and ended up falling off his horse. However, the Mongol had not thought his plan all the way through, as he too was pulled from his horse. The horses moved away from their masters who landed in a heap on the ground.

 The Mongol, who was wearing lighter armor then the Knight was able to get to his feet first. He ran to his horse to get a weapon, having noticed that his Bow had been crushed in the fall. The Knight rose to a sitting position and took his Crossbow from his belt and fired at the Mongol, hitting him in the back of his Leather Lamellar armor. The Mongol wasn't hurt to badly, and he reached his horse. Strapping his Ild sword and Iron Mace to his belt, he turned and faced the Knight with his Glaive. Only to duck as the Knight fired another Crossbow bolt. He charged the Knight and slashed at the Crossbow before the Knight could fire another shot. He knocked it from the Knight's hands, and he followed up with a stab at the Knight's chest. This didn't do much but push the Knight backwards somewhat. Turning around the Knight grabbed the Halberd from his own horse's saddle, before turning to face the Mongol.

The two warrior began to duck and weave in and out of each of others blows, neither doing the other much harm. The Mongol was able to out maneuver the slow Knight, but couldn't seem to hurt him with his Glaive. The Knight's was able to cause damage, but only when he hit. That one time was when the Mongol hadn't ducked low enough, and had received a gash on his shoulder. The Mongol soon found himself in trouble, when he tried to block a wide swing by the Knight's Halberd with his Glaive. The heavy weapon sliced through the Glaive and cut the Mongol across the chest.

The Mongol was forced to roll forward to avoid a second strike, unsheathing his Ild sword in the process. He ended up somewhat behind the Knight, and saw there a glimmer of hope. Taking his sword, he stabbed upward at the Knight's exposed armpit; and sure enough, the blade did slice the Knight. The Knight jerked away, the pain making him drop his Halberd. He held his arm, trying to gauge the damage done while glaring at the Mongol. Finally the Knight took out his Broadsword and the battle began again.

The Sword struck again and again, neither gaining ground over the other. Until finally the two ended up with their swords locked, staring each other down. In the contest of strength the Knight was quickly beginning to overpower the Mongol. Just as the Mongol thought he was going to have to jump out of the way, the Knight's fist lashed out and struck him across the face. Seeing as his enemy was distracted the Knight slashed his sword and knocked the Ild out of the Mongol's hands, before stabbing forward. The Mongol just barely managed to get out of the way, but still got a bloody cut on his side.

With only his Mace left the Mongol prepared for the Knight's next assault. The Broadsword came at him, and he was just able to deflect it with his Mace. Then when the Knight reared back for another attack, the Mongol lashed out with his Mace, striking the Knight in the side. The Knight stepped back, shocked, to have felt the strong blow. The Mongol, realizing what had happened, grinned. The Knight went for an overhand swing, and the Mongol sidestepped it, and struck the Knight in the opposite side with greater force. This time the Knight responded by backhanding the vicious asian, knocking him back. The Mongol frowned, and spat out a tooth, before looking down at his feet. Seeing his Ild Sword, the Mongol took it up, and wielded it along side his Mace.

The Mongol charged the Knight, swinging his Ild sword as he went. The Knight's Broadsword rose to intercept it, but when it locked with the Ild Sword, the Mongol lashed out with his Mace, striking the Knight in the chin. He stumbled back and the Mongol leapt at him. He drove his Ild sword through the space in the leg armor, and stabbed the Knight in his thigh. The Knight grunted in pain as he lashed out again, managing a slight cut on the Mongol's chest.

The Knight swung his sword again, and the Mongol ducked under it. When he did, he brought up his Mace and struck the sword hand, causing the Knight to drop his blade. The Knight cried out as his blade fell from his hands, and the Mongol struck the side of his helmet, causing, the Knight to fall to one knee. Quickly moving to finish his opponent the Mongol drove his Ild sword at the Knight's throat. But before he could kill the Knight, the armored warrior managed to catch his wrist, stopping the attack. The Mongol tried to smash the Knight's head with his Mace, but the Knight grabbed that wrist too. Then, using his superior strength, he pulled the Mongol forward and head-butted him.

Before the Mongol could gather himself, the Knight snatched the Mace from his enemies hand and struck the the Mongol across the face with it, before tossing it to the other side of the clearing. The Mongol landed flat on his back, his jaw broken. The Knight bent down and picked up his Broadsword, and stood to face his foe. The Mongol shook his head and charged the Knight in a blind fury with his Ild. In the next instant the Knight had stepped into the Mongol's guard and sliced his sword arm clean off.

Staring in horror at his bloody stump the Mongol looked up with wide eyes as the Knight stood over him. Taking his Sword in both hands the Knight cried out a battle cry, before plunging his sword into the Mongol's chest. The Mongol gave a gasp as the life left his eyes, and the Knight pulled the sword from his chest. Then with a quick slice, removed the Mongol's head for good measure.

His task finished, the Knight raised his sword, and lowered his head thanking God for giving him the strength to vanquish his heathen foe.

Winner: Knight!

Knight: 551

Halberd: 186

Crossbow: 180

Broadsword: 135

Morning Star: 50

Mongol: 449

Iron Flanged Mace: 147

Ild Sword: 135

Glaive: 122

Composite Recurve Bow: 45

Narrator: In this fierce battle between two fierce soldiers, it was the Knight who proved his mettle, with his Halberd and Crossbow scoring the highest in the simulation. The Mongol didn't fare too poorly however, with his Mace and Ild Sword performing the best from his arsenal. In the end, it seems the Mongol just couldn't overcome the Knight's Plate Armor.

Dr. Dorian: It doesn't surprise me that the Knight won this fight. He has better defenses then the Mongol, and overall his weapons are just so much deadlier then the Mongol's.

We see the Knight riding back to his home, having recovered his horse after the battle. He rides back with the Mongol's Glaive amongst his other weapons, having taken a liking to the impressive looking weapon.

The End.

Kenpachi Zaraki; the battle loving Captain of Squad 11
(We see Kenpachi laughing maniacally while swinging his sword).

Narrator:
Zabuza Momochi; former swordsman of the mist and master of the Silent Killing Technique.
(We see Zabuza slaughter enemy ninjas in a thick mist).

                                                       WHO IS DEADLIEST?
To find out, our world class fighters are testing fictions most lethal combatants. Using 100% fake science, we'll see what happens when the two warriors go toe to toe. No rules. No safety. No mercy. It's a duel to the death, to decide who is....THE DEADLIEST FICTIONAL WARRIOR!

Kenpachi Zaraki
Series: Bleach
Captain of Squad Twelve
Specialty: Sword Based Combat

Zabuza Momochi:
Series: Naruto
Former Member of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist
Specialty: Assassination, Water Based Attacks

Narrator: To help us get a better perspective on what makes these two deadly men tick, we have invited some people that consider themselves experts on their give warrior. Representing Captain Kenpachi: his lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi and his "best friend" Ichigo Kurosaki.

Narrator: Here to represent the Demon of the Hidden Mist: loyal servant Haku.

Narrator: Tonight the categories have changed to represent the combatants.

Durability
Unarmed
Sword
Special Techniques

Narrator: The first challenge will be a test of the warriors durability in battle.

Haku: Zabuza-sama was never one to take battle lightly. He possessed a will that allowed him to keep going when he should by all reasoning be dead.

(We see the battle on the bridge, where Zabuza fought without the use of his arms, against a mob of mercenaries. Despite being stabbed repeatedly, he was still standing.)

Haku: I think that kind of pure, almost demonic will power will surprise this Captain, and that will be his downfall.

Ichigo: Having fought Kenpachi, a know for a fact that it is nigh impossible to take him down. And even then, it's just as hard to make him stay down.

(We see some clips of Kenpachi's various fights, from Ichigo to the Arrancars, and the amount of punishment he is able to handle).

Ichigo: It doesn't matter how tough Zabuza thinks he is, Kenpachi will cut him down like the rest.

Dr. Dorian: After reviewing the the footage, and taking in the experts opinions on the matter, we believe that in terms of durability, Kenpachi has the advantage.

Edge: Kenpachi

Dr. Dorian: No offense to your master of course Ms. Haku.

Haku (smiling gently): None taken. And sir, I'm a boy.

Dr. Dorian:  . . . . . . . really?

Narrator: Next our two warriors will have their skills in unarmed combat put to the test.

Yachiru: I've seen Kenny fight with and without his sword. His super awesome strength and durability are what really help the style. He'll take down that stupid ninja guy no problem!

(We then see Yachiru go through some of Kenpachi's brawler-style combat moves. They impress the DW team with the way that even though it lacks finesse, all of the attacks are deadly). 

Haku: For a Captain who is supposed to be a master of combat, that was rather disappointing. I could see quite a few gaps in his style that would leave him open for Zabuza-sama to take him out. Allow me to demonstrate the style of a trained ninja . . .

(Haku launches at her targets, striking out in quick smooth attacks. The speed of the attacks alone is enough to impress, but when combined with the deadly effectiveness, the judges were blown away).

Dr. Dorian: I have to agree with Haku. Looking at the two styles, it's clear that Zabuza has much better skills when it comes to hand to hand. Kenpachi is more of a brawler, which is fine, it suits his style. But in this instance, I'm giving the advantage to Zabuza.

Edge: Zabuza

Yachiru: Wow Haku, your a super awesome ninja lady!

Haku: *sigh* Actually little girl, I'm a boy.

Yachiru: Prove it.
Haku: Huh?

Yachiru: No one who looks that girly could possibly be a boy! I'll prove it . . .  (she leaps on top of Haku, trying to find his girly bits. Haku puts his hand out to stop her, only to find that Yachiru can bite really hard)

Haku: Oh God! Get her off of me!

Narrator: The Next challenge is one of th-

Haku: She's eating my hair!

Narrator: . . .  one of the most -

Haku: Stay away from my clothes!

Narrator: Are You Done? You Sure? Cause this is the last time. Good. One of the most important challenges th-

Haku: SAVE ME ZABUZA-SAMMA!!!!!!!!!

Narrator: Ah, screw it, here's the sword challenge.

(Down at the demolition yard)

Ichigo: Hey has anyone seen Haku?

Haku: *Gasps* I'm here . . . I'm here. I just had to freeze that pink monstrosity.

Ichigo: What was that all about anyway?

Haku: You didn't hear?

Ichigo: Nope, sorry. Was it important?

Haku: No, let's just get back to work. Zabuza-sama wields his sword with grace and ease despite it's large size. He can do every thing from slash it to throwing it like a giant shuriken.

With that, Haku proceeded to showcase some of Zabuza's techniques. From slashes to jabs, Haku easily decimates the testing grounds, leaving a bloody mess of dummies in ninja's wake.

Ichigo: Okay, I'll admit that was pretty impressive, but Kenpachi is certainly no slouch in the sword department. This is pretty much all he lives for.

With that Ichigo walked to the second testing field, this one with a giant white tower in it. It was an exact replica of the towers found in Soul Society.

Haku: So, is the building full of dummies?
Ichigo: Nope.
Haku: So what's the target?
Ichigo: Watch.

Ichigo stood next to the tower, and began to raise his spiritual pressure to that of Kenpachi's when he felt it was high enough, he channeled it into the replica of the Captain's sword. Then, in one quick swing, he swung the sword. For a moment, nothing happened. Then, a long, diagonal paper thin slash appeared on the building, before the building slowly slipped down the slash, and collapsed.

Ichigo: And that's the kind of swordplay you can expect from Kenpachi. Yeah, he has some techniques, but that right there should tell you all you need to know.

Dr. Dorian: Well, he has a point. Combined with his strength, Kenpachi deals a mean combo of strength and power. Yes Zabuza has the technique, but if it can take down Zabuza quickly, it might be too late. This edge goes to Kenpachi.

Edge: Kenpachi

Ichigo approached Haku, after turning in his testing sword. It had taken him a lot thinking, but he figured he'd just go for it.

Ichigo: Hey Haku, I was just wonder . . .

Haku: Yes Ichigo-san? What is it?

Ichigo: Well, I was just thinking, after this is over, you want to go do something?

Haku: Ichigo, are you asking me out?

Ichigo: . . .

Haku: Oh, for God sakes. Ichigo, I'm a guy.

Ichigo: . . . oh

Haku: Yeah, oh. So no Ichigo, no dates.

Ichigo: *cough*cough* All right then.

Narrator: Well, now for the final test, the special ability test. Where we will test Kenpachi Zaraki's Soul Powers, against Zabuza Momochi's Chakra attacks.

Yachiru: Kenny's Spiritual Pressure is more power then almost everyone else's in Soul Society. I've been around him long enough to see a lot of what he can do with it.

Yachiru then channeled her spiritual power (using the aid of a special device provided by the DW crew) to reach the level of Kenpachi. Immediately the ground turned into a crater. Yachiru then started swinging her sword. Wherever she swung it long scythes of energy flew out, carving deep trenches in the ground. Next a crew, fired various projectiles at her, put the power flowing through Yachiru rose like a shield and stopped them cold.

Yachiru: And that's just a taste of what my Kenny can do!

Haku: While I admit that such power is formidable, it is really nothing more then brute force given form. Nothing can be made from it aside from rudimentary force fields and uncontrollable energy scythes. But with Chakra, my masters power is limited only by his imagination.

Haku then demonstrated some of the techniques Zabuza was proficient in.

First Haku called up a thick mist, which caused the DW camera crew a lot of grief, due to difficulty filming the mist so that it "looked cool"

Then Haku created several clones made of surrounding water. Though they only had a tenth of their creators strength, they could make up for in with numbers.

The next technique was not really an attack, but it impressed the DW team none the less: Haku, as well as a few clones, surrounded the area in a giant prison of water. The technique could be done by an individual, but the more clones meant a bigger area of effect.

But it was the last two techniques that impressed them the most. No, not impressed, blew away. After a long string of hand seals, the water suddenly rose up as a large roaring dragon. It circled menacingly for a while, until a second string of seals turned the dragon into a raging maelstrom of watery chaos. By the time they were done, the area was soaked, and the judges had rendered their decision.

Dr. Dorian: While Kenpachi's Reishi does impress me, the sheer versatility of Zabuza's jutsu seem like they would come in handy in a fight. The final edge goes to Zabuza.

Edge: Zabuza Momochi

Narrator: Now that leaves only one test left . . .

Haku: But I thought that was the last test?

Narrator: On no Haku, there is one more . . . doctor?

Dr. Dorian (putting on a pair of latex gloves): Ready.

Narrator: Good. Crew

The camera crew, the security guards, even Ichigo and Yachiru all appear, blocking the exits, and circling Haku . . .

All: Ready!

Narrator: Now then, let the examination begin, and the mystery of Haku's gender be revealed -

Haku: I already told you -

All: Silence!

Narrator: Get him or her! Hold her / him down! Let the doctor through!

What begins is a struggle of epic proportions as the fate of Haku's gender neutrality hangs in the balance

Narrator:  While they take care of that, Max Geiger will upload the data gathered from the tests into the battle simulation, developed by Slitherine Studio, to simulate a battle to the death between these two warriors. To make sure that victory isn't snatched by a single lucky blow, the battle will be simulated 1000 times. Who will win in this battle of two of the most vicious sword wielders in all manga - dom? The fierce Captain Kenpachi Zaraki? Or the Ruthless Ex-Mist Ninja Zabuza Momochi? Reishi or Chakra? Which will reign supreme?

Durability Edge: Kenpachi Zaraki

Unarmed Edge: Zabuza Momochi

Sword Edge: Kenpachi Zaraki

Special Ability Edge: Zabuza Momchi's Chakra

                          (Two videos from Youtube showing off the badassness of these two warriors)

It's time to find out which warrior is truly the deadliest. Max hits the button on the computer, and suddenly the screen goes "Matrix" on us.

Kenpachi Zaraki walked through the woods. He had been walking for awhile, mostly because "Kenny" had a terrible sense of direction, and kept getting lost.

Soon the he walked into a clearing, with a large pond on the other side. As he walked, Kenpachi stopped, sensing something. The next moment he ducked as a large clever like sword spun overhead. The sword continued onward, slicing down several trees before burying itself in the wood of a particularly thick tree.
   
Then a thick, unnatural mist rolled in, obscuring everything. Zaraki frowned, this was annoying, how was he supposed to have a good fight if he couldn't see anything.

Deep in the mist, Zabuza, the demon of the mist, frowned as well. Normally being attacked followed by a mysterious mist would cause most people to be at least a little anxious. But this guy . . . Zabuza decided to send in some water clones, just to be safe.
   
Kenpachi was quickly growing bored of this tactic and was about to use his spiritual pressure to blast his enemy into the open when he felt it. The enemy was moving toward him. But something was off, there was more then one enemy, and they felt . . . different then the first. That was when he realized that while he had been thinking, they had surrounded him. Kenpachi was positively elated at the thought of fighting multiple strong opponents. Finally Kenpachi couldn't take it anymore, he had to know who he was fighting. And with that thought he released his already minimal hold on his spiritual pressure, releasing a powerful wave of energy.

The wave pushed back the mist, revealing five Zabuza clones, all poised to strike. Kenpachi blinked at the strange sight, having never seen a cloning technique before. That was when the clones all struck, the five cloned swords crashing into the Captain at five different spots, all meant to tear the giant of a man apart.

"Well, that was disappointing" Kenpachi thought, as the sound of dripping echoed across the silent clearing. But it was not blood that dripped, but water. As the last traces of the mist faded, it reveled an uncut, though perhaps slightly bruised, Kenpachi. At only a tenth of Zabuza's strength, the clones simply were not powerful enough to cut the Captain of Squad 11. And as with what happened to Ichigo during his first encounter with the battle mad Zaraki, they had only managed to hurt themselves, their palms dripping water in place of blood.

Deciding he'd seen enough of these things, Kenpachi unsheathed and swung his sword in one graceful swing, decapitating three clones in a single swing. He then turned and kicked the fourth in the chest, sending it flying into a tree. The last clone was taken care of by an elbow to the face. Kenpachi only raised an eyebrow as he enemies bodies turned to water. That was no fun in his mind. A battle was no fun with out bloodshed, and these things didn't bleed. Kenpachi turned back to the real Zabuza, who stood atop his sword. Zabuza frowned, it looked like this was going to require a more personal touch. He teleported away from the trees and summoned up a thicker, stronger mist. Deciding to try some psychological offense, Zabuza threw his voice in the mist and said: "8 choices"

Kenpachi frowned. The mist was back, and he was not able to locate Zabuza, even when he started talking.

"Liver, Lungs, Spine, Clavicle Vein . . . " Kenpachi was sure the voice was getting closer . . .

"Brain, Kidneys, Heart" Kenpachi had had enough of this, and responded to the voice, which seemed to be right in front of me, but which he still couldn't pinpoint.

"Stop wasting my time." He pulled back his haori and revealed his scar riddled chest.

"You could go for my throat, or for my gut, take out my eyeball if you want, or if you're lucky you might kill me in a single strike!" Kenpachi was really getting into it now.

"Just stop stalling and attack already!" He yelled into the mist.

Then he blinked and saw that Zabuza was right in front of him, already in mid-swing. The next instant, Kenpachi sported a large gash across his chest, a splash of blood hitting the ground.

Zabuza spun on his heel and hit Kenpachi again, this time in the side. But before he could cut to deeply the sword was stopped. Zabuza was surprised that the wound on Kenpachi had not deterred him at all. Kenpachi was now grinning madly even as blood flowed from the cut on his side down his hand. His hand which had incredibly enough, stopped Zabuza from completing his attack. Kenpachi grinned the grin of the insane "my turn" and unsheathed his own sword. Zabuza tried to jump back but that didn't stop him from getting a long deep scratch across chest.

Making sure the scratch wasn't fatal, Zabuza quickly raised his sword to block an overhead swing from the grinning Kenpachi. Zabuza's eyes widened as he felt the ground beneath his feet crack. He substituted himself with a water clone and appeared behind his opponents back, and dealt him a wicked blow. Kenpachi though, didn't seem to feel it, as he spun around and backhanded Momochi into a tree. Zabuza was pretty sure he had just cracked his shoulder bone. Time for a new strategy.

Zabuza did a few quick hand sighs and watched as twenty water clones appeared in a circle around Zaraki. They would keep him distracted long enough for him to try out a new plan. Zabuza  took some of Haku's special healing salve from his pocket, and quickly applied some. He didn't want to bleed out while he took care of this next part.

Kenpachi was conflicted. He understood his enemy jumping back to apply a healing agent. He personally didn't use any in battle, but he knew others did, his third seat was a prime example. But now he was just standing there making hand gestures. What was that all about? Kenpachi suspected that it had something to do with all the clones that had popped up. Which must mean that whatever that guy was doing, it probably took awhile if the number of clones was anything to go by.

One of the Zabuza clones leaped back and tossed it's sword at Kenpachi. The water sword may not cut Zaraki, but the clone hoped it could at least knock him back. But the clone had miscalculated the throw. The blade turned one time to many before it reached the captain. This meant that it was the handle, not the blade that hit the distracted Kenny in the head. But when Kenpachi's head reeled back from the blow to his temple (inadvertently jerking his blade up through the face of a hapless Zabuza clone), all of the clones were surprised to see a large purple bruise. That's when the clones got an idea. They may not be able to slice this man-giant, but they could still use their massive, and massively heavy, swords to beat him to death!

Kenpachi grinned madly, even as the blunt end of the water clones swords slammed into him from behind, cracking two of his ribs. Now things were getting really interesting. The clones had figured out a way to hurt him, which was something Kenpachi had to applaud them for. Even if it didn't make bleed as much as he would like, it still kept the fight from being 100% one-sided.

Zabuza was now ready, sending a signal to the waiting clones, the next phase of his plan began.

Two water clones charged Kenpachi from both sides, one trying a wide angle swing, the other an overhead strike. Kenpachi first deflected the attack of and skewered the wide angle clone. Then he grabbed the second clones sword, ignoring the feeling of a broken thumb, and proceeded to push the sword through the clone. Unfortunately for Kenny, this kept his hands occupied long enough for a third clone, swinging his sword like a baseball bat, to smash Kenpachi right in the face, and send him sliding backwards.

Kenpachi felt his noise break, and felt magnificent blood pour down his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the clones had formed a complete circle around him. Behind the clones, the real Zabuza pulsed with power. Suddenly all of the clones formed a bunch of those weird hand signs, before reaching out into the air like they were grabbing something. Kenpachi didn't understand it, and to be honest, he didn't really want to. He figured he just go and smash the clones until they started acting normal and try to kill him again.

But when Kenpachi Zaraki went to run forward, he  found that the water had risen over his feet and was keeping him from moving properly. That's when he realized that all the water around him was coming up around him, stopping at the ring of clones, and continuing up into a giant sphere. Just though the water Kenpachi could hear the clones speak in unison:

"Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!"

Kenpachi frowned, now this was just lame! How was he supposed to have a good fight stuck in this thing? Kenpachi noted that it was starting to get hard to breath. Was that the guy's plan? Drown him? Well, he'd have no part of that thank you!

Zabuza frowned in concentration, he just needed a few more seconds. He had to admit, while it did cause concerns, he really wasn't surprised when the giant started walking toward him. Even though it should have been impossible to move under that much water, the guy was doing it, and boy did he look annoyed. As Zabuza completed the last hand seal, he chuckled inwardly to himself. The guy could be annoyed all he wanted, in a few moments it wouldn't matter in the least . . .

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"

Kenpachi had to admit, what happened next surprised even him. The water behind his opponent suddenly surged up and about, before it suddenly took shape. The shape was that of a large dragon, which circled Zabuza protectively before charging at Kenpachi head on. The Dragon slammed in to the bubble with the force of a bullet train before surging skyward. The clones were liquified before their watery bodies were added to the dragon's mass.

Inside Kenpachi was feeling particularly giddy. So this guy was really just going all out, huh? Well he'd have to return the favor then. With that Kenpachi reached up, and removed his eye-patch.

Zabuza knew something was wrong when the water dragon shuddered. Suddenly he found the beast getting more and more difficult to keep stable. He had planned to have the dragon fly high into the sky before having it explode, but now he didn't think he'd be able to control it that long. Instead, he willed the dragon to U-Turn in mid-air, and shoot strait toward the ground. The dragon smashed into the earth, raising a large dust cloud of dust. And for a moment all was calm.

The next moment Zabuza had to doge to the side as a wave of energy sliced up the earth he had stood not a second before. Then Kenpachi came flying out of the smoke, sword poised to strike. He was missing his eye-patch, Zabuza noted briefly as he raised his sword to defend. When the swords collided, Zabuza eyes widened in shock as the ground cracked and his knees buckled, under the force, and he was sure his sword cracked just a bit. He had no time to react as Kenpachi's fist shot out and smashed into his face. He flew backwards, smashing into a tree. He rolled out of the way as another one of those weird energy shock-waves cut the tree in half. Another instant later and Kenpachi was almost on top of him.

Zabuza was force to parry a vicious jab, which punched out the back of the tree. The next jab came, and Zabuza was able to catch the blade with the hole in his sword, twist it and send Kenpachi's sword spinning out of his hands. Kenpachi didn't take kindly to that, grabbing hold of the Demon of the Mist's sword, he yanked it away and flung it over by his sword. It was now time of a battle of fists. He punched Kenpachi in the stomach, causing him to double over, but also nearly breaking Zabuza's hand. He followed with an uppercut, and an upward knee jab. Zabuza jumped back and  immediately began doing hand seals for his most powerful technique.

Kenpachi frowned, there were those hand gestures again. He had learned that when ever the guy did that, crazy shit tended to follow. But Kenpachi had had enough of the weird tricks, he just wanted a straight up fight, and since this guy had knocked his sword away, things got personal. Kenpachi grabbed Zabuza by the shoulders, and head-butted him right in the nose. He was rewarded by the pleasing sound of breaking cartilage, as Zabuza went stumbling back. Kenpachi went to deliver a haymaker, but Zabuza ducked, turned, and delivered a powerful donkey-kick to Kenpachi's jaw. All while performing his hand-seals.

Kenpachi grabbed the leg before Zabuza could pull back, pulled him up into the air and slammed him on the ground, before throwing him across the clearing. Then Kenpachi picked up his sword and started walking toward the face down Zabuza.

"Pick up your sword, kid, and let's end this." Kenpachi said.

"Your wrong" Zabuza said, his hands slowly moving through the last few seals, Kenpachi only a few feet from him. "It's already over" With that his hands moved to the final seal, and releasing a pulse of chakra. With that he called out the name of his technique:

"Water Style: Water Vortex Jutsu!"

The water around the warriors feet spun up in front of Zabuza, Kenpachi trying to late to attack, as the water formed into a concentrated maelstrom that launched itself at Kenpachi, striking him dead in the chest. The water rocketed Kenpachi back into the trees, and through them. He bounced off several of the dense trees that made up the forest, striking him again and again. When the water finally calmed down, his body slid down into the clearing, still clutching his sword. Zabuza walked up to the body, smirking, "I knew I'd win." He said, breathing heavily from his injuries, just as he turned to leave, he heard something that froze him in place:

"Who says it's over? the voice of Kenpachi spoke, rising from the water around him. Zabuza looked on in shock, there was no way he should have gotten up after that. And after all those jutsu in such rapid succession, he didn't think he could take much more.

Kenpachi leapt to his feet and stabbed at Zabuza. Zabuza raised his sword as a shield, but to his shock and horror, the blade pierced his easily, before puncturing a hole through him. When the blade withdrew, he sliced Kenpachi back, but it didn't seem to phase him nearly as much. Kenpachi leapt back and grinned "You seem to be on your last legs, what's say we make this last attack the final blow?"

Zabuza tore the bandages from his face, allowing him to speak easier "You're not looking to hot yourself their pal, but sure I'm ready to end this!"

Kenpachi just grinned, before he began to gather his energy for the final blow. Zabuza did the same with his chakra, the energy glowing vibrantly around him.

The two sword-swingers charged each other, their energy flowing around them. And in the height of battle the two could almost make out an image in the aura of their adversary. Zabuza saw a laughing skull made of sulfurous yellow reishi, while Kenpachi saw a demon with large curved horns made of black chakra imposed over Zabuza.

The two warriors rushed past each other dealing their most powerful sword attacks. They ended up past each other, just standing, waiting for the other to fall.

Suddenly a deep wound appeared from Kenpachi's right shoulder to his left thigh. Kenpachi didn't grunt, even as he fell to one knee.

Zabuza sighed, then his own wound going from the right shoulder to the left thigh opened up, and a fountain of blood spilt from the wound. His eyes rolled back in his head, and he fell to the ground.

When he could stand, Kenpachi walked over to him, just to make sure. It was true, Zabuza Momochi, Demon of the Hidden Mist, had fallen.

The rush of battle and victory came to Kenpachi all at once, and he reared his head back in a roar of victory!

Winner: Kenpachi Zaraki!

Narrator: In this epic battle of sword wielders, it was the nigh-indestructible Kenpachi Zaraki that came out on top.

Ichigo: Having faced him myself, I know how tough Kenpachi is, and it doesn't matter if it's Reishi or Chakra, Kenpachi wouldn't lose to someone like this Zabuza guy.

Yachiru: Yeah! Kenny Won! It's too bad it's just a game, I bet Kenpachi would love to fight this guy for real! I wonder if his soul went to Soul Society when he died?

Narrator: On another note, doctor, what are the results? You're the only one who saw, so please enlighten us.

Dr. Dorian: Yes, well the results to the question of Haku's gender are . . .

At that moment a mirror appeared behind the doctor. Haku performed a quick set of hand seals and slammed them into the back of the doctors skull. He then jabbed him in the neck with a senbon needle, knocking him out.

Haku: He'll be fine, but he won't remember anything. As for the result of the fight . . . While I am disappointed, I know that their are plenty of others Zabuza-sama could beat, so there is no reason to get down over the one he couldn't.

And with that he stepped back into the mirror and disappeared.

We see Kenpachi standing over the body of Zabuza, before he uses his sword to open up a portal back to Soul Society.

The End.
