Choose your warrior

As you guys know of me, I write both matches and stories. Now my latest serie of matches is close to a end, I am preparing for another story.

My next story will be about fictional warriors that I have used in the past and in this setting, they will face each other in a deadly tournament. I present:



The Island of Fear

An unknown person will invite fictional warriors to a island and let them fight for his amusement. The rules are simple: 13 warrios on a island and only one will be allowed to get off alive.
Using their unique powers and styles, the 13 warriors will battle each other and they can use whatever they are most comfortable with. Some of them will use brute strenght or weapons. Others will use guile, manipulation or tactics to win their battles. Alliances may be formed but will be broken for their can be only one!

The island will be one in a strange universe that is foreign to everybody and it has all sorts of surroundings. Ranging from a giant mountain to a beach with a sea. From a desert to an icy area and even a jungle. Every piece of nature can be found here and almost all the warriors will be satisfeid in this giant arena.


Based on the Hunger games, the fighters will all use their own attributes to kill opponents. Keep in mind that the strongest will not win automaticly but the more sneaky warriors may win or the ones with the most tactical advantages. A link to the Hunger games can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_Games


As always, I ask you guys to help me select the warriors for this story and I will use all the fictional warriors that I have used in matches.
Choose the 13 warriors you would like to compete in this bloody struggle and they might make it in.
As with my previous story, the warriors with the most votes have a high chance of getting into the tournament but I will have the last say in it.
Please keep in mind that this is a story and not a battle. I decide who will fight each other and some fights might turn out to be unfair but it is all about writing a good story.
This also means that I will decide who will win in the end, that decision will be made because it suits the story best. This means that anyone can become the winner.



Now to the 22 warriors you can choose from:

- Zuko (Avatar the last airbender)
-Azula (Avatar the last airbender)
- Batman (DC comics)
- The Joker (DC comics)
- Shang Tsung (Mortal Kombat)

Jason Fly Vs. Niko Bellic

When two opposites of the law meet, who will walk away alive? 



Jason Fly Versus Niko Bellic










Jason Fly
The person:
When you wake up on a beach, unshure of who you are, not knowing why you have a tattoo of the number XIII on your neck and completely clueless why the CIA and mercenaries want to take you out. You have a problem.

First of all, I would like to say that I will be staying close with the XIII game and not the comics. Im known with the fact that the comics came before the game but I have chosen the game for a few reasons.
First of all, the comics are are highly complicated and talk about a lot more strange adventures that make little sense, the game is really a compact way to tell the storyline. Furthermore I read only a few of the comics but played the game a lot and lastly, there is much more info on his skills and weapons in the game.

When XIII woke up, he founds himself on a beach and without any memory's on what had happened before. Not having any idea on who he was, he only carried a key to a bank and had a strange tattoo of the roman numeral XIII on his neck. He is helped out by a girl of the coastguard, who gets shot by mercanary's. XIII escapes and steals a car from one of the thugs. After traveling towards the bank, he finds out that the locker the key belongs to is rigged with a bomb. The bomb explodes and as he tries to escape from the bank, it gets attacked. XIII escapes only to be arrested by the Cia.
The Cia indentifie him as Steve Rowland and acccuse him of the murder of the president. They proved this with photographic evidence.
With the help of a woman named Jones, Steve manages to escape and after that tries to free a man named general Carrington. Carrington knows the full identity of Steve Rowland and after he is freed, XIII gets told that he was hired by general Carrington to find out who the twenty conspiritors were.
Having a new mission, Steve goes after all twenty of them. Not only finding out about and killing everyone involved, Steve also finds out more about his own history due to his flashbacks. His real name is Jason Fly and   under Carrington, he got a operation to have himself look like Steve Rowland (Number XIII of the conspiracy) Steve Rowland had murdered the president as part of the plot and has been shot by orders of number one. The operation had been done because Carrington hoped to move the members out of their hiding holes. The mercenary's that kept attacking Jason turned out to be lead by a man named the Mongoose. The mongoose was a second party, hired by number one to make the operation go smoothly. 
After a lot of missions and having convinced the Cia and the new stand in president Walter Sheridan (the brother of late president William Sheridan) of his intentions, Jason takes out almost every member of this dark conspiricy, and is only left to deal with number one and the Mongoose. The secret of number one died when number two commited suicide and after the Mongools drops down a rocket shaft, they realise that the identity of number one will remain a secret.
After Walter Sheridan is chosen to become the next president, he celebrates it on his boat. The newly promoted captain Jason Fly is invited and after searching for Walter, listens in to a phone conversation where the Mongoose tries to reach number one..
The game finishes with a cliffhanger but there has never been a sequal.

Jason Fly is a trained military man who can use firearms with great precision. Having training with the Spads (special military units) he was quickly crowned the best and was called to the attention to general Carrington. Carrington saw in him a good agent and recruited him to a secret branch. Not much is known about his skills prior to his amnesia but he was supposed to be one of the best spads recruits.
After his memory slowly returned, he also rememberd some of his skills and would be a more accurate shot and sniper shot, being able to dual wield certain weapons and even hear the tapping of footsteps of a opponent.
Not important in this battle but Jason could use the grappling hook and the lockpick very well.



Weapons:
Jason Fly used a assortment of weapons during the missions and had a suitable weapon for every range. He came by the weapons three ways. He either had them with him at the start of a mission, he took them from dead enemy's or he found them along the way.  Most of the missions did have a stealth aspect and therefore some of the weapons go with silencers. These will be included in this match. Jason also had shown the ability to dual wield a few weapons and that will be counted in also.
Because both he and his opponent used a lot of weapons ingame, I have selected five of them. This means that there will be two shortrange weapons on each side.

For the first short range, Jason has his throwing knifes. These small but lethal weapons could be either thrown at the opponent or used in close range to stab. Being the very first weapon used by XIII in the game, he has shown   to be accurate in throwing them. In this match, Jason will get five throwing knifes for this match and if a knife lands in his opponent, he can get it back to reuse after he searched the body.
The knife is rather short and he would need to be really close in to use it well and when he stands further away when he throws it, he will be less accurate. The knifes also need to hit the head/throat/neck to be a kill.


For the second short range, I have chosen the 9mm pistol. This pistiol can be found early on in the game and can be found almost anywhere. Not only ingame is this a populair weapon but also in the televison series is a handpistol the weapon of choise and when you play multiplayer, you get it as default weapon.
The pistol is not a very powerfull weapon and takes 2 or three shots to the head to killl and it also lacks range. It gets less effective the further away the opponent is. The real accurate range is never mentioned ingame. Altough this pistol might seem a poor weapon now, it can be dual wielded and can have a silencer. the 9mm can store 13 bullets at one time in the gun and reloading is very fast.

For midrange, XIII will use the uzi. This small handheld submachine gun is great for close and midrange. It can fire in bursts and has a clip capacity of 32 bullets. It does not take much time to insert another clip, can be used for dual wielding and with a silencer. One shot to the head it a instant kill. To balance things out, it has a recoil and is not very accurate. XIII really needs to hit the chest in order to get a few good hits.
This weapon can be aquired later in the game and is one of the main weapons when Jason tries to spy into a hotel.
As last I would like to mention that the Mongoose used two of them in his last battle and the endfight.


For long range, the assault rifle is used. This machine gun is devastating in all ranges and is very accurate. It can fire accurately from medium to long ranges and can take out a lot of opponents with the 30 bullets ammo clip. Reloading the weapon can done very fast and it shoots in full automatic. With very powerfull bullets, a two or three against the chest willl kill. Making this weapon even more dangerous, it can also shoot small grenades which explode with a lot of power. The grenades fire slows and there will be only three in the assault rifle. However, it can destroy a opponent or a group of opponents in a instant and can destroy any vehicle with ease. The assault rifle is used a lot by the spads and XIII would use it a lot, especially considering his spads background. Ingame, it would be used a lot also if you consider that this weapon is one of the best in the game.


The crossbow is the special weapon. I am talking about a modern crossbow here, with a scope. Being a good weapon for very long range, the crossbow is a silent killer. It can stock three bolts at the same time but reloading takes some time. Its a weapon XIII used in a lot of missions where he needed to take out a guard or sneak around without being spotted. The crossbow also works very well against sentry's placed in a tower. The bolt needs to hit the head for a direct kill. It will take two bolts against the chest to kill.



Armour:
I have chosen for this match to use bodyarmour due to all of the guns used in this battle. The body armour armour covers only the chest and back of Jason Fly and dubbels his health. Niko needs to take out the body armour first to kill or get a headshot. Its a kevlar vest that can be found in the game a lot and helps in keeping health. The spads also wore bodyarmour in the games and Jason would have experience with it before he became agent XIII. Jason can still move very agile while wearing the armour and also does not give in any speed.





X-Factor:
The x-factor of Jason is footsteps. He can hear footsteps of opponents, even if they are in another room. Not only can he count how much opponents are in other rooms, he can also see if they are walking towards him or from away. This power really makes it harder to set a ambush for Jason and he can attack at the right moment, the back of the opponent is turned to him.
This ability will help in the fight by spotting Niko, even if Niko is hiding behind a door. When Jason himself is hiding, he can spot the right moment when Niko has his back turned to the agent.
I would like to clarify two things. When there are a lot of people close together, the ability won't work very well and Jason cannot differ one set of footsteps from another and does not know if the footsteps are those of Niko or civilians.

And Lastly a youtube clip where you get an idea on the gameplay. It also shows the use of the 9mm, the assault rifle, the bodyarmour and the ability to hear footsteps.



Niko Bellic
The person:
A man who lost everything during the Yugoslav wars, Niko turns to America in the hope of a better life, only to become a dangerous man in the underworld.

Niko was born in Eastern Europe, most likely the Balkans. His youth was not that of a normal boy and he experienced things that changed his life forever.
His father was a alcoholic and his brother had died during the Balkan wars, Niko himself fought there as a childsoldier (he in between 13 and 17 years old). In the wars he has driven tanks, was a helicopter pilot and fought as a infantrymen.
During the war, Niko saw and acted in several attrocities, which gave him emotional detachment and a cynical perspective on life. One of the most traumatic events was the moment that his squad (most of which were his boyhood friends) got ambushed by enemy forces and killed. From the group, only him and two others survived. Knowing that one of them had betrayed the group, Niko swore that he would find the culprit and kill him. These two other survivors were Darko Brevic and Florian Cravic.
After the war was over, Niko had trouble finding work and had to deal with the death of his friends. His cousin Roman had already moved to the united states before and had send letters telling how succesfull he was. In his letters Roman told that he lived in a villa, dated supermodels and was a very rich man while in reality, Roman lived in a small apartment and had just enough money to start his own cab company.
Niko traveled to America, to Liberty city and soon got work with his cousin Roman. He helpt out with loansharks and protected his cousin in other ways. Due to the connections of his cousin, Niko got involved with the Russian Maffia.
Niko soon gets more involved in the American underworld and does jobs for several different groups and individual people. Mostly acting as a hitman, Niko did not shy down from other jobs and has done several jobs that include stealing, illigal streetracing and protection both people and valuables.
In that time, he kills a lot of people, some very influencial in the underworld. He does also make a few good friends that he can trust and even gets a girlfriend.
Near the end of the game, Niko finally finds Darko. The man lives a poor life in the us and Niko is not shure if killing the man makes him feel happy. In the end, He still shoots Darko after he finds out that the man sold the group out for only 1000 dollar.
In the last mission, a Russian mobster named Dimitri Rascalov is killed but at the cost of either Roman or his girlfriend Kate McReary. Dimitry is a mobster that has allied himself with a lot of people but also breaks his loyalty in a instance if the needs arises. He has done this to a lot of people, including Niko.

Niko is a man who is hardened by war and seeks revenge no matter the cost, even if others say he should start a new life. Having suffered a war, Niko knows only about killing and most of his jobs in America are centered around that. However, even though he is cool and does not connect very well with others, he still is kind and protective over his family and friends. He has shown this multiple times with Roman and his love interests. He also helps innocent bystanders any way he can.
Niko hates American politics and drugs. He gets enraged when he gets cheated, betrayed or accused of his loyalty. He also has a lot of nerves and has shown to go up against some big groups.
Lastly I would like to add that altough he protects and helps the innocent, in a lot of missions innocent bystanders get killed.



Weapons: 
Niko used a lot of weapons during the game and I had to narrow things down to five. I have chosen for five weapons that were used in different ranges to portray him well. I looked at Niko as a member of the American underworld and i have assigned him weapons that would be used by someone in the American underworld. Niko als knew how to use some weapons while driving a car and that will be included in this match. As with his opponent, Niko has got two short range weapons and i will look at the weapons from a game prespective and not from a real life one.



The first short range weapon is the knife. This weapon is a deadly close in and can be used in both cutting and thrusting. The knife can be used to kill a opponent without making much noise and even a armoured opponent gets killed with around four attacks.
The knife was the very first weapon Niko aquired in the game and would stay usefull the whole game to kill someone without police noticing or when a opponents attacks Niko with a melee weapon.
It however has a short range and Niko needs to be close in to his opponent to use it optimal.



The second close range weapon is the pistol. The pistol being used in the game is a glock 22 and is the most used pistol in GTA IV. The pistol has 17 rounds, reloads in a decent speed and shoots at a decent speed also. The glock can best be used in close range and midrange and has a good firepower. It can kill in one shot when aimed at the head but it takes two to three shots to kill if the bullets hit the chest.
The pistol is one of the few weapons that can be used while driving a car and altough the speed and accuracy lower a bit, it is still usefull. \
The glock is the very first fire-power weapon that Niko uses and it can be aquired quickly during the whole game. Most people who carry guns, carry them, including policemen.
During the gta game, Niko can use the pistol to peform executions with the pistol and kill people with style.


The midrange weapon of Niko Bellic is the smg. The smg is a submachine gun and altough the game keeps the name smg, it is actually a  SW MP-10. It has a great rate of fire but a slower reload time. The mp-10 is a cross between a standard smg and a shortend one. Ideal for killing in small streets, this weapon can kill very fast. The inaccuracy of this weapon is cancelled out a bit by the small scope that gives oppertunity to aim a bit better. it will be used mostly around medium range where it deals the most damage. This weapons can shoot 30 bullets before it needs to be reloaded and can fire automaticly.
Being used with two hands, the smg can be used with one hand but aiming will become more difficult. The few times Niko used the smg with one hand were while he was running and while he was firing the weapon while driving his car.


For long range, Niko has his AK-47 assault rifle. The AK-47 is a beloved weapon on the black market since his existence because of his tougness and reliability. The ak is a very powerfull weapon and can kill very efficently. The AK lacks accuracy but again you can aim with with a small scope and shoot a bit more accurate. With a ammo of 30 bullets, it can fire very fast from long ranges but as I said, not as accurate.
The AK-47 is used a lot by the better armed criminals and there were a lot of ways that Niko would have gotten one.


The last weapon of Niko will suprise some people since it does not look like a weapon at all. It is one of the things GTA is most famous for, I am talking about the car. There are a lot of different cars in the GTA world and in most of the missions, Niko needs to drive a car.
The cars need to be stolen in order to be used and are used in different ways during combat. Niko can drive away from attacking opponents but he can also drive towards opponents and drive over them. The car is no usual weapon and does not have any ammo at all. A car can be used untill it does not work anymore and when that happens, Niko needs to find another car. The cars differ is speed but every single one of them can kill if a opponent is hit hard enough. So as long as the car drives harder then walking speed, it is enough to kill.
Niko will start off with only one car but when he won't be able to use it anymore, he can aquire another. There are two ways Niko can find another car but both of these take some time. In the first way, Niko breaks the window of a car and unlocks the door from the inside. He then wires the car to start the engine and drive away. With the second way, Niko stops a moving car and forces the driver to step out so he steps in and rights away.
The car is a deadly weapon but a fire can be started in the car and it will explode soon after. When another explosion is near the car, it will explode also and when the car has been hit too much time, it will stop.



Armour: 
Niko will wear body armour during this battle. The armour protects against bullets against the chest and the back. The head and legs are not protected. Niko keeps his mobility and can move with ease while wearing tis body armour.
The armour does only protect against bullets and will not help against melee weapons, falls or hits from cars.
When used, the armour can be counted as dubbel health and the body armour needs to be taken out first before the chest and back are targets.



X-Factor:
Altough it is never officially stated, many other characters suggest that Niko is a sociopath. This because he kills people with certain ease and shows little to no remorse. If Niko is one, it came from the Yugoslav wars.
Niko has killed around 80 people and those are named characters. During his missions, he also shows no remorse in killing innocents to reach his targets and I really need to name one of the reasons why GTA is so populair: Killing innocent bystanders in very fun ways.
This will all end in the x-factor of sociopath, when Niko starts killing, he will go on untill his target is dead and not caring on how much innocent bystanders are getting killed in the proces. Note that the x-factor will be activated only when he starts killing and that he is a nice guy when not holding a gun.

Weapon egdes:



Throwing knifes Vs. Knife
- With this first close range weapon, we compare the throwing knifes with the ordinary knife. The five throwing knifes are lethal weapons that can be thrown at the opponent from a close range and can used to stab the opponent with a upperhand stab. The accuracy of the throwing knife will get less when Jason gets further away from his opponent but it will still be a great distraction weapon.
The knife of Niko can be used to both stab and slash at the opponent and Niko can stab when Jason lies on the ground.
The throwing knifes have a longer range and there are five in total so even if one misses, Jason still has four others left. The combat knife of Niko is better in melee attacks because it is a longer weapon, has a guard and can be used to block. However, It will take two good slashed or thrusts to kill Jason with it while Jason can kill Niko with only one attack aimed at the head.

- When I compare the weapons against armour, I need to say that the body armour of Jason will help against the attacks of Niko. That means that when Niko attacks the head, it will take around two attacks to kill his opponent but if he attacks the chest, it will take some more attacks.
The body armour of Niko does not help against the knifes of his opponent and any attack to the head will be a instant kill. Against the chest however, it will still take two attacks to kill XIII.

- Then comes the skill. Jason can throw the throwing knife with a lot of skill from close ranges but the longer the range, the worse is the accuracy. Jason has shown to be very good with the throwing knifes and was even able to use them just after he came concious on a beach. The skill with using this weapon melee is almost non existent and Jason can only stab downwards with it.
Niko on the other hand, can use his knife in melee very well. He uses it in almost the same way as he uses his weaponless fighting and can another weapon with it. He can can stab and slash both forward and downwards. Niko is also able to use kicks in his fighting style.

- In the end, we have two weapons that each have a advantage over the other. The throwing knifes can be used from a longer range and are more deadly while the knife of Niko is better when the two confront each other in melee. So for me to decide which weapon gets the priority and the edge, I have to look at the match in total. Since most of the match is a firefight, it means that close in fighting will be very rare. Niko needs to walk towards Jason to use the knife, a time in which he is open for attacks. Jason can just lie low and throw his knifes from hiding, making it hard for Niko to do anything against the attack. If I combine this information with the fact that Jason five knifes to use, I can only come to one conclusion.
When the fight goes melee, Niko will win more times but melee will be very rare and the throwing knifes can be used better in this fight.
Edge: Jason Fly


9mm Pistol vs. Glock .22
- Both of them are pistols and both of them have the same accurate range. Being able to be used on close range and midrange, these pistols get less accurate, the further away the user is from the opponent and both weapons take around the same time to reload.
Apart from that, there are much differences between these two handguns. The 9mm of Jason Fly stores 13 bullets, it can be equipped with a silencer and Jason can use two of them at the same time. It lacks however in power and takes two bullets for a good headshot and even more for a attack to the chest.
Niko does not use a silencer or has two pistols on him. He can use the pistol from his car, even if that lowers the accuracy a bit. The attacks of the Glock are also more powerfull, being able to kill a opponent with a headshot using only one bullet.

- Before I compare these weapons against the armour of each other, I will first look at the best range to use these weapons. That is short to midrange and means that most shots will be aimed at the heads. If I look at that, Niko can peform a killshot with only one bullet while Jason has two fire two bullets to the head for a kill. He compensates for it when he uses two pistols at the same time but that will not always be the case.
Now I will look at the armour. Both sets of armour will hold against the pistols and it will take some time before the armour is penetrated and the two warriors can start and go killing.
Now, if the 9mm has more trouble with shots to the head then the glock, attacks to the torso will become even harder. It takes two/three shots to the chest to kill a opponent and if we look at the armour, this will be doubled, meaning that it will take four to six shots to kill Jason Fly with the glock.
As for the 9mm pistol, it will take around 4 shots to the chest to kill someone and when that someone has armour, it takes around 8 shots. This means that when both warriors wear armour, Jason will have more trouble killing then Niko has.

- Now for the skill. Both warriors are skilled since both of them have a army background. When Jason uses two pistols, his skill is slightly off and the same goes for Niko when he uses the glock from his car. In the end, they are evenly matched in skill.

- For the total comparison, I admit that this is not a real contest. The 9mm has its advantages such as the silencer and the dual wielding. Both are very important for Jason because the silencer allows him to sneak around and even if he misses a shot, the chance is that Niko does not know that he is near. The dual wielding will help deal with the fact that the 9 mm is less powerfull.
However, the fact that you need two pistols to do a job that your opponent can do with only one means something. The glock is just more powerfull and if you combine that with the fact that it has more ammo and can be used from a car, makes it a more dangerous weapon.
When the two of them have only one pistol and are shooting at each other, Jason will have a higher chance of getting killed and even when he manages to survive, he will run out of ammo earlier.
Edge: Niko Bellic

Uzi Vs. Smg
- Two semi automatic weapons are tested here against each other. Apart from the fact that both weapons are semi automatic and have around the same range, both weapons differ a lot from each other.
The uzi has a 32 bullet clip, can be equiped with a silencer and can be dual wielded. It fires its rounds in bursts and have slightly more power then the smg. The smg can be used with one hand and with two hands but when used with two hands, it can be aimed better. It stores 30 bullets and it fires automaticly. It can also be used while driving a car. It also has a bit of a slower reload time then the uzi.

- If I look at the weapons versus armour, I will look first at the head again. Both weapons will peform a instant kill when shooting at the head, however, the head proves a hard target to reach. Both of them will be able to kill a armoured easily. However, due to the fact that the uzi fires in bursts, it will take somewhat longer to kill with it then with the smg. This difference is not much and would only be a matter of seconds. The stronger bullets of the uzi matters little in this gunfight.

- Now i take a look at skill and I can see that both warriors are skilled with their weapons. However, both weapons are a bit inaccurate. The use of another uzi makes the skill worse and the same goes for the smg firing from the car.
Both weapons are a bit inaccurate but with the smg, this can be repaired by using a small scope. This means that it will get some of the accuracy back and the head becomes a even more likely target.

- For the final decision, I have to tell which of these two dangerous weapons gets the edge over the other. The uzi has all of the advantages of a pistol; It can be dual wielded and equiped with a silencer. It also has two more bullets then the smg. The smg on the other hand can be used from inside a car and can be aimed better. It also fires the bullets automaticly.
This decision is harder then it looks, mostly because both weapons have a lot of advantages and will be used very well in this fight.
There are two small differences between these two weapons that gives for me the egde. The first one is that the smg can aim slightly better and can fire rounds to the head more accurate. The second is the fact that the uzi fires in bursts. This is a good thing to save on bullets but when your opponent can keep on firing while you have to pause in between, you have a problem.
Edge: Niko Bellic

Assault rifle Vs. AK 47
- Both have a ammo capacity of 30 bullets and both fire these bullets automaticly. Both long range weapons are very deadly and can kill someone if mere seconds. Both take some time to reload their weapons after firing them and both are very accurate.
The assault rifle has one advantage that the ak does not have. It has a grenade launching tube under the barrel that can fire three small grenades at the opponent. The ak on the other hand has the small advantage of better aiming.

- When I look at armour, I can say again that if both hit the head, it will be a instant kill. However, hitting the head might prove a bit harder because of the range. The chest is a better area to fire upon and both weapons will kill a armoured opponent in around 10 seconds. So altough it will take a bit longer to kill a armoured opponent, the armour matters little and both weapons are up to the task.
The assault rifle does have his small grenades ofcourse and when these explode near Niko, the man will die. The explosion will rip away armour and kill in one move.

- Now for the skill. Both warriors have a lot of skill with their weapons and know how to use it very well. Jason has shown his ability with this weapon during his time by the spads and Niko has shown his ability in the underworld. Again, Niko can aim a slightly bit better using his scope and may hit the target slightly more often.

- For my final decision, I have two weapons that are equal in almost all ways. They fire both have 30 rounds, they both can kill in mere seconds and they both are reliable. The assault rifle has his small grenades as a extra while the AK has a better will hit more lethal areas.
The grenades are for me the reason to give the edge to the assault rifle. Not only can it kill Bellic rather easy, it can also transform the car of Bellic in one huge fireball.
Edge: Jason Fly

Crossbow Vs. Car
- A contest between two very different weapons, with very different uses.
The crossbow is a silent sniper weapon. It can fire three bolts at a time and can use a sniperscope to pick out the head of the opponent. However, it takes two to three bolts to kill when the bolts hit the chest and reloading takes very long. Also when Jason is aiming, he is open to any counterattack.
The car can be used to run over a opponent of drive away when it becomes too hot under the feet of Niko. It will be some sort of armour since it can take bullets untill it starts to fire/explode and I have already talked about the weapons that can be used from inside the car.
When the car is on fire Niko can drive hard towards his target and jump out of it so the opponent gets blown away instead of him. However, when Jason keeps firing the weapon or uses the grenade, Niko himself will be blown away and the car can just stop working if it has endured too much bullets. Altough he has a lot of speed with his car, Niko lacks agility and the car cannot move around as well. Also, it can not follow into small area's and when the car overturns, Niko has a problem.
Both of them have their uses and both of them have their disadvantages.

- When I compare the crossbow bolts to the armour, I first need to specify that due to the sniperscope, the bolts will hit the head most of the time. One headshot is one kill. It will take two to three bolts to kill a unarmoured opponent when the arrows hit the chest. This means that Jason cannot hit the chest and kill a armoured opponent without reloading. Since the reloading takes some time, it is better not to hit the chest.
The car negates any armour and a good hit with the car will kill Jason without the armour being damaged. Instead, it gives some armour itself.
However, the downside ofcourse is that when the car explodes when Niko is inside of it, he will be blown to little pieces himself.

- As for skill. Jason has shown to be very skilled with the crossbow and has proven to use this silent killer very effecive. XIII has killed enemy's over very large distances or up guardtowers without anyone noticing it. He can attack Niko without the eastern European man even noticing it or seeing Jason.
The car does not need skill to hit a opponent but Niko has shown to be very good at driving cars. If it was following others, killing people in other cars, Fleeying from others or simply win a race, he has shown to be capable of it.

- Now, for the final edge, I have two different yet lethal weapons. In short, the crossbow is a silent killer and can take out Niko without him realising there is danger but the car gives protection from almost all the weapons, excluding the crossbow and the grenade. The car is a loud weapon and Jason will be able to hear it coming and might escape.
Even though these two weapons are completely different, they are matched very well and will both be used in a diffent way. My egde goes to the car because even if it can turn against the user, It does have enough uses to be considered very dangerous and and will be slightly more effective then the crossbow as weapon and tool.
Edge: Niko Bellic

The fight:

'Ready' Jason asked the African American woman next to him. 'Ofcourse' she spoke as she nodded. The two of them lay on the roof of a storagebuilding. Jason Fly had finally gotten information about the Mongoose and now knew that a rising star of the underworld was going to meet this mysterieus hitman.
The plan was simple, Jason and Major Jones would take out this person and Jason would visit the Mongoose himself.
If everything would go according to plan, they would know the name of number one by nightfall.
The cia had provided evidence that this European man would ride around this part of town soon and Jason had to act fast. He had his crossbow in hand while Major Jones was holding his assault rifle to provide covering fire if needed.
'Hold on' Jason spoke softly. 'They are coming' He said while he saw the licence plate through the scope.

'I don't know why I should be coming with you. I do not like that guy, he is scary' Roman spoke. 'Aw shut up cousin. You have met this Mongoose, I have not' Niko spoke. The two cousins were arguing almost the whole ride and it was driving Niko insane. 'Let me tune in the radio' Niko spoke and he turned on some nice relaxing music.
As the two of them drove towards their destination, the eyes of Niko suddenly widened. 'Duck!' He yelled out as he stopped the car and took cover himself.
Both men ducked and seconds later, a bolt flew through the side window and stopped in the door on the passenger side.
Another bolt flew towards them and it rammed itself in the side of the car. 'What is happening Niko?' Roman asked. 'We are under fucking attack' The man spoke. 'Do you still have that pistol I gave you?' Niko asked. 'Yes, yes' his cousin replied. 'Use it when you need it.'
Niko took his smg and fired at the spot the two bolts had come from and his attack was answered soon after as bullets flew at the two in the car. All around them, people started screaming and shouting as people sought for cover for this sudden attack.
'Drive Niko, Drive.' The now panicking Roman yelled. Niko agreed that this was the best course of action but after moving the car, he noticed that the tires were flat and the sentinel they were driving hit another car on the side of the road. 'Cousin, run!' Niko yelled as he fired his weapon at his opponent. Roman stepped out of the car and fired his pistol as he was running away. Niko quickly did the same thing but ran the other way.

'They are running' major Jones spoke. The two had destroyed the tires after the crossbow had failed to succeed. This had stopped the car but the two men had started running now. 'You go left and I will go right.' Jason spoke to his friend. She nodded and soon left while Jason himself put his crossbow away and headed after one of the two men.
Holding one of his throwing knifes on ready, he soon saw the man he was after and walked with a steady pace towards his victim.
Roman, knowing that someone was following him, started running. Not turning around to see, he jumped into a small alley and it was only when he saw that the alley was dead ending that he turned around to fire his weapon.
Jason saw how the man was turning around, with a pistil drawn and Jason quickly threw his knife at the man. The knife entered the throat of Roman and ended his life quickly. Roman fell against a wall and Jason fired his 9mm with silencer, making shure the man was dead. Time to find the second man.

Niko ran from the woman. It did not happen often that he fled from a woman but when she was holding a uzi, he had little choise. The uzi rattled again and Niko ducked behind a car to avoid the weapon. He fired his glock pistol, which gave him some space to move. Firing his pistol while driving, major Jones got hit in the left leg before she could return fire. The musclecar then hit the woman in the head and Niko drove over her.
He then fired his pistol at the overrun body, making shure she was dead.

With the woman dead, Niko drove away. When he was safe, he took his cellphone and dialed the number of Roman. Roman did not answer and this worried Niko because he knew that his cousin was not a fighter.
He drove his car the way he came from when he suddenly saw the man who had fired the crossbow. 'piece of shit' Niko spoke under his breath as he started his car. He then raced towards the man.

Jason saw the car heading towards him and he realised that his last opponent was in it. He grabbed his two uzi's and started firing them at the car while he ran towards a long alley.
The car crashed against a brick wall and Niko stepped out.
He drew his knife and headed into the long alley.
Jason noticed the footsteps and knew that his target was coming close to him. Holding his pistol, number XIII was ready strike as soon as his opponent would turn his back. Jason then saw the footsteps walk away and took his chance. The bullet flew at the back of Niko and when he was hit, he turned around. He body armour had saved him. Knowing that his knife would not help much against a firearm, Niko put it away and grabbed his smg. As soon as he had his semi-automatic weapon, he fired it at his opponent and Jason had to duck away behind a thrash can. His armour had taken several bullets and Jason would fight fire with fire. Holding his two uzi's again, Jason used his weapons.
After Niko had ran out of ammo, he did not bother to relead but switched to his ak47 directly and used it to give himself space. Walking backwards while firing, he turned around the corner, opened the door of a flatbuilding and ran up the stairs while he reloaded.
As soon as his opponent had gone around the corner, Jason had taken his assault rifle and ran after his opponent. He walked through the open door but soon got attacked by speeding bullets of the ak. He stepped out of the door again and fell the pain of the bullets. His armour had stopped working. As soon as the bullets stopped, Jason walked into the house again and fired his own weapon up the stairs.

Niko fired some more bullets down the stairs and kicked open the door to his right. A woman screamed and he shot her quickly to silence her. The man who sat in the living room met the same fate as Niko looked around to find a way out. He saw a fire-escape on the balcony and realised that this was his chance to escape his attacker.
Running towards the balcony, a spray bullets hit him and he ran into the bedroom. His body armour had given in and he felt the bullets in his lower back. Taking a deep breath, Niko fired his ak at his opponent, who walked back into the kitche. He could hear the police arriving now and knew he had to be quick. He ran towards the balconony and as soon as he arrived there, he climbed the fire-escape.
After being forced in the kitchen, Jason saw how his opponent ran to the the balcony and down a fire-escape. Hurrying after him, Jason saw how his opponent smashed the window of a car and stepped in. Before the man had a chance to get the car started, Jason fired a small grenade from a tube under his barrel. When the grenade hit the car, a huge explosion lifted the vehicle in the air a feet and it as it landed, it slowly burned out. There was no way the man could have survived that.
'Police, drop your weapon' A sound came behind him. Jason sighted and dropped his assault rifle. He then lifted his hands up in the air, shure that General Carrington would get him out soon enough.
Winner: Jason Fly


This was a tough battle between two dangerous men. Both of them were very lethal and the killdifference would be between 50 kills.
Altough Niko Bellic had the more edges, I still feel that Jason Fly would win the match because of three reasons. The first reason is his ability to notice the footsteps of his opponent. This does not only help in making traps, but it also helps in avoiding the traps of his opponent.
The second reason is the fact that Jason can attack without making a sound because of his four silent weapons. When your opponent does not know that you are there, it makes killing a lot more easy. The last reason or should i say reasons, are the grenades. They can kill with ease and and turn one of Niko's most usefull weapons (his car) against himself.

As I said, this would be a close match and Niko had some dangerous tools of destruction. His car would really be a great asset in this fight since it would give him protection while he could attack his opponent out in the open and he could run over opponent. Another weapon that would be deadly is his smg. A small but handy weapon that can be used all sorts of different ways to kill.  


I was going to put Thor against Raiden for my next match. However, Thor is that much overpowered, it would not be fair as he would crush Raiden with ease. This leaves a blank spot in my matches and I do not know yet who can replace them. I do have a special announcement planned and will have that one up soon. I hope I have my next match ready to present to you guys!

Jack of Blades Vs. Mewtwo

Two monsters fight a duel of magic and death. Who will rise to be victorious?






Jack of Blades Versus Mewtwo










JACK OF BLADES
The man:
A demon from an ancient court that is deemed unkillable. How do you kill one that survives through the body's of others.

Born in a place called the void, Jack formed the court with the Queen of Blades and the Knight of Blades.
In ancient times, the court found its way into Albion and forced the people to bow down to them and vow obedience.
After a time, one man stood against this dark trio and defeated them using the sword of Aeons. While this William Black managed to kill the Queen and the Knight, Jack managed to escape by hiding his soul in his mask. It should be noted that the sword of Aeons that William used, he had stolen from Jack.

Centuries later, Jack used the body of a mortal hero to get in Albion. Using the disguise of a guild hero, Jack sought out his precious sword that was lost in Albion and could only be retrieved by one of William Black's bloodline.
When the hero of Oakvale was young, a unknown force attacked his village and killed his family. That unknown force was Jack of Blades. Not only did he kill the father, he imprisoned the mother and blinded the sister of the hero of Oakvale.
After the hero finds his sister, he tries to free his mother but gets caught by Jack and thrown into the same prison. After he manages to escape and free his mother, the hero of Oakvale tries to find the sword before Jack does.

Jack of Blades captures the hero's mother and sister again. One of the hero's tutors and confidants also turn out to have been working for Jack all along and after the Hero of Oakvale beats this traitor, he tries to stop Jack from activating special focussites to unlock the sword. The hero fails and Jack goes on with destroying the guild. When the hero finally arrives, Jack kills the mother and a battle ensues.
The two of them fight for a long time but Jack is finally defeated

Jack manages to escape death one more time and hides in the north. The hero travels there and tries to unlock a special gate by collecting souls. During that time, Jack keeps on taunting the hero and when the gate is finally opened, he reveals to have pulled the strings of the hero all along.
This time, Jack had the form of a dragon.
After another hard battle, Jack gets beaten again and his soul sucked into his mask. The mask gets thrown into the hot lava afterwards.
It should be noted that when the evil ending is chosen and the hero decides to wear the mask, Jack takes over his body and lives again.

As a being of the void, Jack has escaped death several times and his mask has played a important role here. By promising power, he would make someone wear the mask and take over the body. Jack is a master of skill, strenght and will, something that is very rare in the Fable universe. With skill, Jack can aim ranged weapons with ease. however, he never used a bow and will not get one for this battle; with will, Jack can use magical powers to attack his opponent and strength is all about his own toughness and the strength of his melee attacks.
Not only is Jack a powerfull warrior, he also used manipulation and taunting to get a egde on his opponents.



The weapons:
In this fight, each warrior will get three weapons and for the first time, one of the weapon category's will consist of servants. I also decided against using the dragon Jack because I feel that the dragon would chance the entire battle and I prefer the human Jack myself.


For melee, the weapon of Jack is the sword of Aeons. This ancient bloodforged weapon was a important plotline in Fable as Jack wanted it back and the Hero of Oakvale wanted to keep the sword away from Jack. The weapon had belonged to Jack originally, untill William Black stole it and used it. After William had  slain the court, he hid the weapon in Albion.
To use the full potential of the sword, Jack needed to kill one of the ancient bloodline of William Black. He did this by killing the hero's mother.
The sword of Aeons has a lot of power and was used as a normal sword and could both thrust and slash at the opponent. When Jack used it, he got more powerfull and was able to use his will powers through the sword. To make the sword even more lethal, Jack uses strenght to give the attacks even more power.
I would also like to comment that Jack will be hardpressed to let go of his sword and try to use it the entire battle.


As for Special, Jack has his will powers. Will is a energy that can be used in battle to either attack the opponent or support the user. There are a lot of willpowers and I am not shure which powers Jack of Blades could use. That is why I only use the few powers he has shown in the game.

First I will name the offensive powers:
Energy ball: Jack can shoot balls of lightblue energy towards his opponent, doing much damage. He can shoot multiple balls at a time as the balls form a cirkel around him and fire outwards.
Energy wave: Using the same blue energy, Jack could fire waves that blasted the opponent away with a lot of force and doing much damage. The wave can become very large and hard to avoid if the opponent has nothing to hide behind.
Life drain: By lifting his hand/sword in the air, Jack unleashes a powerfull energy all around him and with a rattling sound the life of the opponent gets drained very fast unless the opponent can hide.
This is the most powerfull of these attacks but it also leaves Jack open for any counterattack.

Now for the other will uses.
Shield: By lifting both arms in the air, Jack can summon a powerfull shield of red energy that is impossible to get through. Altough the shield is very powerfull, Jack needs to keep his hands in the air and will not be able to attack his opponent during that time.
Levitation: Jack has shown on multiple occasions that he could fly in the air by manipulating the red energy. The energy is also visible under him when he uses levitation.
Speed: Jack can move in a burst of speed to cross the entire arena quickly. He can use it to avoid or get behind his opponent in a blink of a eye.

A wardog
For my following category called servants, Jack uses minions. He has shown to have several creatures under his command but the minions are his personal servants that help him directly in battle.
I will count in three minions for Jack.
Minions were first used during the times of the old kingdom by the wallguards. However, Jack somehow got him to do his dirty work and used them as demon servants ever since. There are two types of minions, Wardogs and dreadwings. Both types are heavily armoured and very strong, making them tough opponents. They will be used together in the battle.
The wardogs are the standard types, have long double bladed swords and brown armour. They can block attacks of the opponent very well and will cround the enemy when they get the chance. Jack will have two of these in the coming battle.
The dreadwings are spellcasters that use their staffs to shoot energyballs and fight in melee if the opponent comes to close by. They wear black, silver and blue armour and prefer to stand backwards and cast spells while the wardogs are fighting the opponent. There will be one dreadwing in this battle.
Before I forget, I would like to mention that minions are weak against fire and will be destroyed much more easy by it. If Mewtwo can find out about this weakness, he can use it to his advantage.



Armour:
Jack of Blades wears steel armour under his red hood and does not sacrevice mobility for it. The armour does not give full protection against attacks of the opponet but merely weakens the attacks, thus making it hard to kill Jack. He also wears a mask that provides protection of the face.

The red hood does not offer any protection and neither does the masks of the knight and Queen that he wears on his chest.




X-Factor:

The x-factor of Jack is devided into two parts.
The first part is playing games. Jack will play mindgames to get his opponent angry and careless. The way Jack has done it is taunting, playing with his opponent and killing the mother in front of the son for a more dramatic effect. he builds this up before the battle so he can concentrate on fighting during the battle.

The second part of the x-factor is his mask. I have already talked about the power of the mask to store souls and especially his soul. When his body is defeated, Jack can still live on when his soul gets into his mask. During that time, the soul can try to convince Mewtwo to wear it. When Mewtwo does it, Jack takes over and wins the battle. To avoid this, the mask needs to be destroyed.

I have a good youtube video on Jack of Blades and the things he has done:




And a youtube video on his first fight with the hero of Oakvale. Note that this is the version of him that I am going to use and all of his weapons of this match will be used in this fight.






MEWTWO
The person:
He is one of the most well known pokemon and star in the very first pokemon movie. Overall, he is seen as one of the most powerfull pokemon in games, anime and manga. Altough there are many of all species of pokemon, Mewtwo is a loner and only one exists in the pokemon world. 

Mewtwo was not born but cloned. The leader of team Rocket called Giovanni, wanted to have the strongest pokemon and send a group of scientists to Guyana to find the extinct pokemon called Mew.
During their searches, the group found the fossil of a pregnant Mew. 
Combining the Mew dna with human dna, the researchers were able to create Mewtwo. The scientists then started with some horrific gene-plitsing experiements that made this pokemon vicious and very powerfull. 
After Mewtwo found out that he is a clone, he destroyed the laboratory. 
Giovanni appears in the ruines and made Mewtwo a offer he could not refuse. Giovanni told Mewtwo that that he could help the pokemon with special armour that concentrates the power of Mewtwo. The psychic pokemon agreed and joins Giovanni. The leader of team Rocket then started using Mewtwo for his own goals; Catching powerfull pokemon an defeating strong trainers. Giovanni als does several strenght test on Mewtwo like releasing hordes of tauros that attack Mewtwo.

In the end, Mewtwo manages to escape again, destroying the Rocket hideout that also functions and leaves the powersuit behind. Mewtwo hides in the cerulean cave.

It is after this that the three different pokemon media give different stories on the whereabouts of Mewtwo.

The games are rather simple and say that after Mewtwo fled to the Cerulean Cave, he waited there untill the pokemon trainer Red showed up and catched him. It should be noted that he attracked some very strong pokemon and only after Red has proven himself by beating the elite 4, he was allowed to enter the cave.

The manga follows most of the same story as the game with some differences. In the manga, researcher Blaine used cells from his right arm to insert into Mewtwo and the cells of Mewtwo found its way into his arm. Because of this, the two share a link so they could track each other. In the end, a pokemon trainer named Red manages to catch Mewtwo using a masterball. 
It was during that time that Blaine found out that the link put a strain on both of the body's when the two were away from each other, making them weaker. 
When Blaine and Mewtwo fought off the dangerous elite 4, this strain on both body's made Blaine lose conciousness and the weakend Mewtwo lost the battle.

Some time later, Blaine meets another legendary pokemon, the fire type Entei. Using his flames, Entei healed the arm of Blaine and severed the connection. Mewtwo was free again.

After a long time, Mewtwo showed up once again to fight team Rocket and Deoxys clones. After that, he saves Red and explains that he came to fight to stop deoxys being used the way he was used. In the end, Mewtwo battles Deoxys and manages to win after a long and hard fight.

Lastly the Anime. 
The anime follows the story of Mewtwo being cloned and then rampages untill it escapes Giovanni. 
During the first pokemon movie, some strong trainer get a invite to come to a special tournament.  Not being hindered by a storm, most of them make it towards the island where the tournament is held. 
Once there it is revealed that Mewtwo was behind it and captures all the pokemon in clone balls. Using the clone machine, all pokemon get cloned and the trainers have to beat the clone pokemon. 
The plan of Mewtwo was to clone every pokemon and keep them on the island while storms destroy the world to punish humans of using pokemon as slaves and punishing pokemon to act as slaves.
The plans are being foiled by Ash Ketchum ( the anime protagonist) and Mew.
After a long and hard battle against Mew that Mewtwo loses, he sees that no pokemon is better then the others and that humans are not bad at all.

After this, Mewtwo settles down with his clone pokemon in Johto. The rest did not last long as the leader of team Rocket find him and after a struggle catches him. Mewtwo is then attack by machines that takes his energy and spirit, making him a mindless puppet. 
After the bug and clone pokemon fight team Rocket, Ash throws Mewtwo in a healing spring that recovers him. After that, Mewtwo defeats team Rocket and erases the minds of the Rocket members. He is later seen chasing Mew.


Mewtwo was a angry pokemon and suffered from the fact that he was a clone and not real. In all the different media, he came to the conclusion that humans are not all evil and there are kind ones. He also comes to peace with the fact that he is a clone and considerds himself a real pokemon.
After this, Mewtwo becomes a kind but powerfull warrior that travels around the pokemon world. Altough Mewtwo is mostly calm now, when he becomes angry, he gets a lot stronger. 


The weapons:
As with his opponent, Mewtwo has three weapons from which one will be servants. After thinking for a while, I have decided to discard the pokemon types for this battle because I feel that rules change when universes collide. (To be honest, I think it would way to hard to jugde the two) 
I also will not count in the armour for I am not entirely shure what the armour does exactly. 



First is the melee weapon. This may sound odd but the melee weapon of choise will be a giant spoon. No I am not joking. In the manga, Metwto used a giant spoon to channel his psychic powers and slam his opponent down in close range. The spoon is almost as long as Mewtwo himself and he can use it very well. The channeling of psychic powers is a really effective way to deal with opponents and the spoon can be used as blunt trauma weapon when a opponent comes close in.



As a special weapon, Mewtwo has his powers. In the different forms of media, Mewtwo has shown a lot of special attacks and I had to choose a few of them to keep equal terms with Jack of Blades. If you wonder why I am not talking about psychic powers, that is because two attacks are not psychic in origin.
With these special powers, I can say again that some were made for attacking while others help Mewtwo in the battle.

Offensive:
Shadow ball: Shadow ball is a ball of dark energy that could be fired at the opponent. One ball can be fired at a time but it is very dangerous.
Psychic: With this attack, Mewtwo uses his psychic powers to push the opponent away with a lot of force. Not only can psychic psuh opponents away or levitate things, he can also hurt the opponent with the attack itself.
Aura sphere: Another ball of energy, this time blue. Mewtwo shoots the ball that hurts the opponent.
Psystrike: This attack can only be learned by Mewtwo and when the pokemon uses it, he emits a aura that creates small balls which attack the opponent. 

Other uses:
Barriere: With this power, Mewtwo creates a ball around himself. He can still fight and attack while in the ball but the attacks of the opponent will not be stopped. Instead, the power of the attacks will decrease. 
Teleport: Using his powers of teleportation, Mewtwo can transport himself around the arena with ease and suprise the opponent from behind.


With the servants, Mewtwo will rely on three clone pokemon named Charizardtwo, Blastoisetwo and venusaurtwo.  These three pokemon appeared in the first pokemon movie and were with Mewtwo before the start of the movie. These three pokemon were very strong and could take out the original charizard, blastoise and venusaur with a single attack. 
The problem with these three is that they have showed one attack each and one of them was of the elemental type of the user. After thinking about it, I decided that each of them gets one attack and that will be of the elemental type. They can be used seperate from each other in the battle.
Charizardtwo is a large red dragonlike pokemon with brown stripes all over his body. He can fly and use a flamethrower attack to roast the opponent.
Blastoisetwo is a large blue turtle with darkblue stripes. He has two watercannons on his back that he can use to blast opponents away with. 
Venusaurtwo is a large grass pokemon with a flower growing out of his back. As a clone, he also has white stips all over his body. He can use his many vines to attack his opponent.


Armour:
Other then the brown ragged cape that Mewtwo has seen wearing, he does not wear any armour. (remember that I have excluded the armoursuit) However, his body is very thick and it will be hard to kill Mewtwo. This pokemon has shown to survive a lot of hard attacks, showing the toughness of his body.






X-Factor:
As with his opponent, Mewtwo has two x-factors.
The first one is his ability pressure. When used in the pokemon games, attacks will run out faster. This is ofcourse impossible to do in this battle since Jack cannot run out of attack. Instead, he will become more tired if he uses a lot of attacks during the fight. Jack of Blade will coordinate his attacks and his energy well during the fight.

The second x-factor is his ability to control minds. Mewtwo has shown this by controlling the mind of Nurse Joy during the first movie and he has shown to be able to erase minds. I would like to say that controlling the mind of Jack of Blades will be very hard to pull off but I can see it being used against other living beings very well.

The Edges:


Sword of Aeons Vs. Spoon
- Weapon on weapon, both weapons are completely different but they have one thing in commen. Both will be able to channel the magic power of the user. This makes both weapons very versatile and usefull in longer ranges. If I look at this ability alone, I cannot see one of these weapons being better. Both can channel the energy very well and neither is better at this single thing.
 However, there are a lot of more on these melee weapons to look at. The sword of Aeons is a very powerfull sword that can cut and thrust at the opponents. This one handed weapon can deliver swift and killing blows in a instant. The spoon is just what it sounds like, a giant household item turned lethal weapon. The giant spoon is a twohanded weapon and its main use is channeling the magical power but the spoon can deliver blunt damage in close range.
So we have a real sword that can act perfectly like a sword and a giant spoon that gives blunt damage. Now, the sword has its obvlious advantages but the spoon is not underpowered at all. The whole weapon is made out of steel and both sides of the spoon can be used as a weapon. Whats more, its longer then the sword.

- When I compare the weapons on the armour, I finally come across armour to deal with again. The sword will need to fight the tough body of Mewtwo, something that is more easy said then done. The body of Mewtwo is really tough and it will take some tries for Jack to kill Mewtwo.
Still, this powerfull sword will work very well and If I had to guess how many tries it would take, I'd say two or three fullpowered attacks.
The spoon is a great blunt weapon and ideal against the armour of Jack. However, Jack can take a few attacks also and I guess that it will take the same amount of tries to kill Jack as to kill Mewtwo. With Jack, the face is even a less likely target as the mask gives a lot of protection against all sort of attacks. I would like to add that if Mewtwo had a sword, the weapon would have a harder time to get through the metal armour but as you guys know, blunt weapons work very well against this kind of defense.
Both warriors are really tough and I really cannot see a instant kill with these weapons happening, the battle will be a long one.

- As with skill, I can go and say the usual: Both warriors have a lot of skill and are considered masters with the weapons. Jack of Blades has a lot of skill with the sword, seeing as it was originally his. To show his skill with this weapon even more, he uses the sword the whole time since he aquired it. Before that, Jack can be seen with other swords. This shows the important of a sword in his fighting style and is even more prove that he is very skilled with it.
Mewtwo also has a lot of skill with this weapon and he uses it a lot during the manga. He can do a lot of damage with this weapon and knows how to use it very skillfully. The fact that Mewtwo does not use the spoon in any of the other media is reason for me to say that Mewtwo would not use his weapon as much as Jack. Still, he is very skilled.

- In the end, this match is a lot closer then it originally looks. The sword is a very usefull and dangerous weapon but the spoon cannot be underestimated either.
Both weapons bring something different to the game and both of them are very dangerous. Apart from the channeling power, the spoon has a longer range then the sword and can deliver some very dangerous blows.
The sword is however slightly better as it can both cut and thrust at the opponent. It also is made more areodynamic and has a weapon design. So in the end, the sword of Aeons is slightly better weapon.
Edge: Jack of Blades


Will Vs. Psychic powers
To make things easy, I will refer to Mewtwo's special powers as psychic powers.
Now for the real comparison, I have to see which of these two special powers is better. Both of the powers bring lethality to the table and both of them will help the combatants other ways. I will first look at the offensive uses and then at the other uses. After that, I will look at defenses and skill.

- Now for the offensive powers, Jack of Blades brings three of them to the table. The energy balls is a good weapon for opponents all around but is also the least damaging of his weapons. The balls with be very usefull when Jack does not know from which angle his opponent will attack. This attack is also rather easy to get around as Mewtwo can simply move up into the air or step into the open spots where the balls fly past it.
The energy wave is also a lethal weapon that brings more power to table and can be aimed. What is more, due to it being a wave, it will be harder to avoid when running from it. With a lot of knockback power, I can say that this attack will be the most used willpower of Jack.
Now the last one, the lifedrain attack. The lifedrain is the attack with the most power as it will drain the energy of Mewtwo quickly, bypassing any armour. Great powers do not come without great costs and this attack will leave Jack completely open. Mewtwo will be able to avoid this attack if he finds cover soon enough.
I talked about the attacks of Jack, but Mewtwo has a lot of attacks also.
The first one his a shadowball. Other then the balls of his opponent, Mewtwo can only make one at a time but he can aim it at his opponent. The shadowball has shown to be very powerfull and will be used a lot during the fight. The other ball Mewtwo has, is his aura sphere. This ball is made of aura and will hurt as much as the shadowball. As with the other ball, Mewtwo can create only one at a time but he can aim it very well.
Psystrike is another dangerous weapon that will be hard to avoid. Instead of one big ball, Mewtwo summons a energy that creates small balls to attack Jack. The psystrike is the signature move of Mewtwo and will be very dangerous.
Lastly I need to talk about the psychic attack. This attack does not only hurt Jack directly, the psychic powers can also influence other things with telekenesis and Mewtwo can even fly by using this psychic power. Avoiding this attack will be very hard as Mewtwo can aim it his opponent and it is impossible to see.

All these powers are very dangerous but it is clear that one set of offensive powers is just better then the others. First of all does Mewtwo has more offensive powers, he also can aim them better and the psychic is just a finishing touch with all its uses. Altough Jack has some dangerous powers, two can be avoided easily and the third one leaves Jack open for any counter attack.

Now for the other uses.
Jack has three abilities that might be a asset to him during the battle.
The first one is the shield. The shield is very powerfull and no attack can go through. However, Jack will not be able to attack anyone while having the shield up and he would most likely combine it with the minions. As soon as the minions are gone, the shield becomes rather useless.
The levitation is a very usefull asset and will enable to continue fighting in the air.
Lastly the speed that will help Jack a lot. First of all, he can avoid blows of the opponent, secondly he can get behind his opponent to attack the back of Mewtwo and lastly, he can race down the whole battlefield and set Mewtwo up.
Mewtwo has only two psychic powers that will help him in other ways during the battle. The first one is the the barriere. Altough it is not a shield and will not stop attacks, it will lessen the power and Mewtwo can attack while having the barriere up. I would like to say that combined with the sturdy body of Mewtwo, it will be very hard to deliver powerfull hits at the pokemon while barriere is up.
Teleportation is a effective way to get around the battlefield quick and suprise the opponent from all angles.

It is now Jack of Blades who has the more powers but that does not give him the direct win. From his three powers, the shield is only usefull when his minions are alive. As soon as they are gone, it becomes useless since he cannot attack while in the shield. The speed burst and the levitation are rather usefull but both are countered by powers of Mewtwo. The fact that Mewtwo can fly also makes fleight advantages of Jack worthless. The teleportation also counters the speed and to be honest, i prefer teleport myself. With the speedburst, you can see where the user is going, with teleport, you can't.
In the end, Mewtwo knows how to counter Jack of Blades very well with the other uses of their powers and I think that he is better with them, especially since the combination of tough body and barierre.

- As for weapons versus armour. Both of the warriors have enough defenses that one attack will not kill them. The two warriors will need to more then one attacks before one finally goes down. I would like to make a special mention of the barriere since it will double the natural defenses of Mewtwo. Jack however has his lifedraina attack that bypasses all the armour of his opponent.

- Now for skill. Both of them have a lot of skill with their special attacks and are used to them in battle. I can easily say that both are masters in the field.

- In total, we have two great powers that are usefull in the offensive part and will help out in other ways during the fight. I have compared and discussed these powers already and have a good idea on the strengths of both powers. In the end, one power is clearly better however. Mewtwo has a great offensive ability that is harder to avoid for Jack of Blades and the other uses are almost equal on each other. Lastly, the barriere combined with the tough body of Mewtwo will be a very important aspect of the fight and lets me say that it gets the egde.
Edge: Mewtwo


Minions Vs. Clone Pokemon
- Now we dont have weapons to compare but actual creatures in this matchup. Each warrior has his own three creatures and I will not go in lenght to describe the servants themselfs but rather just the quality's. The minions are three very strong opponents and belong to the strongest creatures in the fable game. They work together very well and will combine teir attacks when they have the chance. While the wardogs close in and fight up close and personal, the dreadwings will stay on a distance as much as possible to fire orbs at the opponent. Overall Jack can use his minions to keep his opponent busy or simply overpower him.
They do have a few isseus as they can only be called upon once and that time, all three of them appear. They are also weak against fire, which might be a problem since charizardtwo may be able to sweep them and I can see how Mewtwo will controll the mind of one of the minions to fight for him.
The clone pokemon will be usefull in their own ways. As they fight on their own, Mewtwo can choose to send one out at a time and spare the other two for later in the battle. The three pokemon also have a greater diversity of attacks and can all attack from a range. Apart from that does charizard has the ability to fly, blastoise a tough shell and venusaur use many vines at once. If Mewtwo finds out the weakness of the minions to fire, he can sweep all three of these opponents with his charizard.
The three clone pokemon have their weaknesses also as they won't work together very well and may be overpowered if the three minions focus on one pokemon. Also, if they manage to beat Jack and one or more clone pokemon are still alive, one of them can try to wear the mask and have Jack of Blades take over their body.

- As for armour, I have already talked about the tough armour of Jack and the body of Mewtwo. It will take many tries any of the servants to do damage at the either Jack or Mewtw. If I look at the power of the attack and the armour, I think that the wardogs will do the least damage to Mewtwo and Jack will have to rely more on the dreadwing to do damage. The clone pokemon have a better ability to hurt Jack of Blades with their more powerfull attacks.
This time, I will look also at the armour of the servants. All three of the minions have bodyarmour that will make it tough to beat them. Of the clone pokemon, only blastoisetwo has a hard shell and the other two are a bit more open to attacks from the opponents.

- As for skill, both the minions and clone pokemon have full skill of their own power. The minions have shown to be good swordfighters, even able to block attacks of the opponent very well. The clone pokemon have a high level and know how to use their powers very well also. They have shown that by beating their real counterparts with a single attack each.
Both Jack and Mewtwo have full controll over their servants and none will suddenly stop fighting. (unless forced by the mindpower of the opponent ofcourse)

- In the end, I have to see which of these beasts is better then the others. The Minions have a good offense and a good defense. Working together, they will be very dangerous for Mewtwo. However, The clone pokemon might have lesser defense but they have a stronger offense and can be used more strategic in the battle, sparing their powers instead of setting them all three out at once. They also have the element of fire, which will be a huge advantage. Lastly, I would like to say that the mindcontroll of Mewtwo will play out much more then that one of the clone pokemon picks up the mask of Jack of Blades.
So i hope that this egde is clear and altough the difference between the two groups of servants is not huge, it is enough to give a good edge to Mewtwo.
Edge: Mewtwo



The Fight


Jack jumped away as the horn came close to him. He then moved quickly and slashed his opponent across the chest. The dragon growled and called out 'Draaaaaaa' The dragon then used its small wings to fly into the air again.
Jack smiled as he watched his opponent carefully. The small dragon was as large as a human and had a orange colour. He also had a small horn on his head and two wings on his back. Using his tail, the creature summoned a wave of water.
Jack smiled and used his will powers to fly into the air and avoided the water. He then waved his sword at his opponent and a wave of blue energy leaped from the sword and into the dragonlike creature. The beast moaned again and Jack lifted his sword up in the air. A energy formed itself around the sword and a rattling sound came, bringing the opponent down. As the dragon fell on the ground, screaming in pain, Jack of Blades flew downwards in a attempt to thrust through the chest of his opponent. His attack was succesful and the beast gave one last loud cry before it died.

The being of the void laughed as he pulled his sword out of the lifeless body. After he had beaten and destroyed the pathetic excuses of a hero, Jack had taken residence in a special arena where he felt at home. The next few years were filled with chaos and destroying Albion. The people would finally bow down to at least one member of the shadow court again.
Some time ago, a small pink creature had entered his area of residence and when Jack tried to catch it, he found out that the thing was both agile and strong. After a tough fight, the small beast had turned into a sparrow and flew away, out of the reach of Jack.
A few days later, Jack had felt a powerfull presence and his spies had told him that a grey monster had entered Albion somehow. Jack had gone and research the thing himself, to find out that it was similair to the small and powerfull creature he had encountered earlier.
Then the dragon had showed up and just before it could fly away, Jack had attacked it, knowing that it belonged to the stranger.

Now the beast lay dead on the ground. Jack had been suprised at the toughness but it was not enough for the beast to save itsels and as all other beings that defied one of the shadowcourt, it had been destroyed.
Jack moved from the battlefield and dragged the body away, it was time to play a little game.

Mewtwo sat on a large rock and watched the sky. He was still unshure on where he was, he only knew that Mew had been here.
After arriving here, Mewtwo had send dragonite out of its pokeball to find out where he had stranded and if there was any sign of Mew. Thusfar, the dragon type pokemon had not returned.

When Mewtwo had waited long enough, he grabbed his spoon and walked past four giant stones that stood in a square. As the pokemon neared an old temple, a soft but dark voice suddenly spoke.
'Hello there. You enter my kingdom and you will feel my wrath, but first you will play for me.' The voice then laughed out loud and as it was laughing, the earth suddenly shook.
Skeletons rose from the ground, all armed with swords and axes. They turned their attention towards Mewtwo and walked slowly towards the psychic type.

A hard smash and the skull cracked. Another of those skeletons fell on the ground, the soul releashing itself into the air.
Mewtwo moved his spoon from left to right and pushed away all opponents that were attacking him. He then used his psychic attack to smal one of the corpses into the others.
Mewtwo fought on, crushing several skeletons with different attacks. As he reached a large one, he smashed his spoon in the head but instead of dying, the creature rose again. Mewtwo collected energy for his shadowball and fired it at the last undead. As undead fell, Mewtwo summoned a aurasphere. After the ball of aura hit the undead, the thing finally died.

'Very well done' The voice came again. 'You little puppet have beaten some undead. Now follow my lead for your big suprise.' The voice laughed again and Mewtwo followed his way.
After a long walk, Mewtwo saw a wooden bridge and a huge building coming into vision. 'Enter, Enter.' The voice spoke and Mewtwo obeyed. He opened the outerdoor of the building and walked towards another one. When he arrived at the door, the pokemon froze for a minute. On a pole, there was the head of dragonite. 'So you have seen my little suprise for you, I hope you like it.' the voice came again. 'How dare you?' Mewtwo spoke. 'You are going to pay for this.' 'What a harsh words. Come out and play. HaHaHahaha' Mewtwo was really annoyed with the dark laughter and blew the door from its hinges.

After blowing away other doors, Mewtwo ended up in a huge arena, full of sand. Up on the huge walls, there were seats for people to watch the fighting.
In the middle of the sand, there stood a man in red robes. 'Hello there. You will bow down and die!' The voice spoke.
'Never!' Mewtwo cried out and he ran at his opponent.

Sword met spoon as Jack tried to cut down Mewtwo quickly. The pokemon blocked or avoided the attacks and tried to fight back. The two weapons collided some more times and suddenly Jack rushed past Mewtwo and was ready to strike the pokemon from behind. Before he could attack, Mewtwo used psychic to push his opponent away and then teleported behind the void being. He struck Jack in the back and Jack retaliated with a cut in the side.
Jack used his wave attack that send Mewtwo backwards and on the ground. Jack lifted his sword in the air and the rattling began again.
Mewtwo felt the pain burning and created a barrier around him. He then send a shadowball towards Jack. The demon lost focus and stopped its attack. He then raced towards the pokemon using his will.
The weapons hit each other in mid air and Mewtwo used the longer reach to force his opponent backwards. This gave Jack time to summon the energyballs that blasted Mewtwo away.
As the pokemon recovered and rose from the ground, Jack summoned a large shield made of red energy around him.

Mewtwo rammed with his spoon on the shield but found soon out that he could not penetrate the red energy. Before the pokemon could try again, three creatures appeared. The things were as large as Mewtwo himself and two of them held some sort of sword while the last had a staff.
Without a second thought, the pokemon took two pokeballs that were fastened on his cape and threw them towards the beasts.
Out of the balls came Blastoisetwo and Venusaurtwo and they roared angry. Take out these things, Mewtwo commanded with his mind.
His Pokemon would battle these things while he would find a way to get through the shield.

The two wardogs attacked Blastoise and were on him soon. The turtle pokemon tried to defend himself and blasted water out of his cannons, sending one of the two backwards.
Venusaur was in a duel with the dreadwing and as the pokemon used his vines to attack, the minion defended himself with staff and attacked with energyballs whenever he had a chance.
While the servants fought, Mewtwo was still trying to destroy the shield. He had failed to teleport next to his opponent and the shadowball had no effect also. As the pokemon watched the shield to thing of another attack, he heard Blastoisetwo cry.
Mewtwo turned around and saw how the wounded Blastoise send out a powerfull waterblast at one of the attackers but the second took a chance and stuck his sword in the mouth of the watertype. Blood trickled down from the lips of Blastoise and the pokemon collapsed, dead. 'No!' Mewtwo yelled. He quickly took controll of the mind of one of the wardogs and made him fight the other. The psychic type then turned to see how Venusaur fared and saw to his delight that the grass type had his vines all wrapped around arms of legs of the thing and was trying to quarter it.

Finally, venusaur succeeded into pulling apart the dreadwing and pieces of the armour fell on the ground. Seconds later, the wardog that Mewtwo commanded lost to the other wardog. Before Mewtwo could do anything, he felt a pain in his side and was pushed forwards.
Jack had lifted his shield and attacked the pokemon with his energyballs. The member of the shadow court then used his rush to reach venusaur and cut the vines quickly. He then slashed the pokemon across the face and thrusted his sword into the neck. Venusaur went down with a cry.
Jack of Blades turned to see how his last wardog walked up to him and started to attack him. He noticed that his opponent had taken controll of the minion and after blocking a attack, he thrusted his sword at it and destroyed the minion. He then recieved a blow on his back and flew to the ground.
Mewtwo had used the distraction to form a aurasphere and had attacked Jack with it, determining to destroy the demon.
The two clashed again and the weapons hit each other hard.

Jack felt how he was tiring and knew he needed to end the fight fast or he might even lose. Shooting up in the air, Jack hoped to get a egde on his opponent and send a energy wave to take out the other fighter. He was suprised when Mewtwo avoided the attack and flew into the air also. The two collapsed into the air and fought while they were trying to hit each other with the melee weapons.
The two lifted up high in the air and when they were above the arena, Jack tried to blast away his opponent with the energywave while Mewtwo used a shadowball. The two attacks collided in the air and blasted the two warriors away. They landed in the seats of the spectators and the fighting continued. Jack attempted a rush but Mewtwo teleported away and used psychic to push Blades into a fench. Mewtwo stood emotionless while Jack howled angry and the pokemon summoned the last pokeball he had. He then threw it at the ground.
Out of the ball, another dragon came. His one was red, head a menacing look, powerfull build and two impressive wings. Jack walked at his with his sword but the dragon unleashed a fireattack that Jack had to dogde, only to be hit in the head with the spoon.
Knowing he was overpowered, Jack flew into the air above the arena again but the two opponents followed suit. The dragon came with a fire attack that hit Jack directly and Mewtwo unleashed a powerfull psystrike to follow up with a smashing attack that send Jack downwards. Jack of Blades screamed as he fell down into the sand and a red mist appeared. Mewtwo and charizard landed in the arena and both of them saw how the missed dissapeared, leaving only a sword and a mask.

Mewtwo turned to walk out of this arena of death, happy that he has destroyed this opponent. It was time to chase Mew. As the pokemon stepped towards the door, flames suddenly hit him from behind. Mewtwo turned around to see why his ally had turned against him, seeing Charizardtwo wearing the mask of this opponent. 'Well, you did not think it would be easy to beat me right?' Charizard spoke with the same eery voice of his opponent. 'How well do you fight your own friends?' The voice spoke. He then burst out a flamethrower again. Mewtwo, who still had his barriere up, took the attack and used psychic to attack the firetype. Using psystrike, Mewtwo forced the Jack/Charizard hybrid backwards and he dropped his spoon. The face of Mewtwo was a mask, not showing any emotion and using all his anger to take out this opponent. A shadowball flew towards Jack and he avoided it by flying up in the air, only to get hit by another one. Mewtwo flew up in the air also and blasted the new body of Jack to the ground.
He then levitated the sword of his opponent towards him and teleported away to avoid another flamethrower. A final psystrike attack knocked the opponent to the ground and as Jack tried to rise, Mewtwo thrusted the sword into his opponent. Jack yelled out once again and fell to his knees. Mewtwo reversed his grip on the sword, pulled it out and stabbed in a downwards movement, starting in the neck.
Jack fell down again and would not rise in this body anymore. The mask released itself and fell on the ground. 'Wear me. Wear Me. I give you power, wear me.' The Mask spoke to Mewtwo. The psychic type laughed for the first time during this duel and used his psychic attack to hover the mask in the air. He then grabbed his spoon and collected his last energy.
One final swing brought the mask to the ground and it broke in half. Jack was finally gone now.
Winner: Mewtwo




The winner is rather clear in this match and altough Jack of Blades was is very strong, he would not be able to beat Mewtwo. His only real advantage was in melee and even that advantage was a slight one. As with servants and special powers, Jack of Blades is outmatched by Mewtwo.
All three of Mewto's weapons would mean utter destruction for his opponent but i feel that his special powers would kill the most time. Altough the pressure would not be a very important factor in this fight, the mindcontrolling powers would, turning the minions against each other and Jack.
Jack would win a decent portion of the fights, using his sword and special powers. For him, the playing games would not play out as much as he would like to because Mewtwo is fuelled with power when angry. The mask would be slightly more important. Mewtwo could ignore the power of the mask without a doubt and would only fall for it a small portion of the times. If one of the pokemon he uses survives the fight, they would be a more likely target and Jack would fight a tired Mewtwo. This would not happen every match and has too much factors for it to work that it would not influence the results much. In the end, i think that Mewtwo would win around 600 times and Jack of Blades 400.


As for my next fight:
