Chapter Eleven: Juliet Starling VS. Frank West
Lollipop Chainsaw versus Dead Rising. Juliet Starling battles Frank West, in a fight to determine who is the best zombie slayer. Will Juliet's boundless energy allow her to outlast her enemy? Or, will Frank's "diverse" weaponry simply be TOO much to overcome?
Zap: "Zombies. These brutal monstrosities have been well-known for decades, famed for their ferocious nature and brutal desire for the flesh of their prey. To be able to hunt down these beasts, you'd need skill, high-tech weaponry, and the intelligence to combat them."
Dark: "Or…you know, just have the guts to charge into a zombie horse without care. Juliet Starling, the blonde chainsaw-wielding zombie slayer of Lollipop Chainsaw."
Zap: And Frank West, the creative backyard MacGyver of Dead Rising."
Dark: "He's Zap, and I'm Dark-."
Zap: "-and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills, to find out who would win a Death Battle."
[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]
Zap: "At first glance, Juliet Starling seems like you're average teenage girl. A classic cheerleader/popular girl, with a loving family, a boyfriend…and issues with her own weight."
"To keep my energy up," Juliet's voice rang out, "I eat lollipops. I KNOW what you're thinking…I'm getting SO FAT! But they're SO yum!"
Dark: "Wait…she think she's FAT?! Man…what would she think of your mom?"
Zap: "HEY!"
Dark: "ANYWAY…despite what you may think, Juliet is FAR from an "average" teenage girl. She's actually one of the hottest characters in video game history…so much so, that the game has to straight up tell you that she's legal from the beginning!"
Zap: "That's…partially right, Dark. Juliet is actually the member of an ENTIRE FAMILY of zombie hunters. According to Juliet herself, the first ever zombie she killed was used with a sharpened rattle when she was only six months old."
Dark: "Damn. That's pretty hardcore."
Zap: "Yes it is. Despite the fact that Juliet has a "profession" that a LOT of people would no doubt love to have, Juliet actually has a great deal of…embarrassment (and yes, you write that right) for admitting that she killed zombies."
"There's some stuff I didn't tell you before, okay?" Juliet (a fair-skinned girl with blonde pigtails) spoke sheepishly to a brown-haired head (yes, HEAD), "I didn't want you to think I was weird."
Dark: "She thinks fighting zombies is embarrassing?! Please, she doesn't know. I remember this one time I got my tail caught in the toilet-."
Zap: "ALRIGHT! Dark! That's…not the story the readers came to hear. And, I speak from experience when I say…that they DON'T!"
Dark: "Buzzkill."
Zap: "ANYWAY, Juliet lived a...relatively normal life, in spite of her "family activities". She even managed to snag herself a pretty good boyfriend, Nick Carlyle. And they two of them were practically star-crossed lovers, and things were pretty good…until he got bit by a zombie."
"I kinda sorta…love you," Nick practically whispered, a bite mark on his arm as his head laid in Juliet's lap, "Fuckin' love you," he breathed out…before his breath began to slow.
"Nick," Juliet cried, tears falling out of her eyes as she cradled her fading boyfriend in her arms.
Zap: "Don't worry, he gets better. Sort of."
Nick was…currently a SEVERED head, SOMEHOW still alive as he screamed in Juliet's hands. "Where's my FUCKING body?!" He yelled out, "Oh FUCK!"
Dark: "Hey, he got to hang on the ass of one of the HOTTEST video game characters in fictional history. I don't even wanna HEAR any complaints from that guy. But enough about her weird, severed head of a boyfriend…let's get the REALLY good stuff. Like FIGHTING!"
Zap: "Gladly. Having been (according to her) killing zombies for practically her ENTIRE life, Juliet has become a one-woman army possessing EXTREME skill in the art of slaying the forces of the undead. And she's gained a plethora of weaponry to complete her job."
Dark: "For starters we've got her primary weapon, which is only ONE of the reasons that I love her so much…her chainsaw. With this baby in her hands, Juliet can slice apart any human or zombie with relative ease. A particularly violent way for her to kill her enemies, hey…you've got MASSIVE respect for me, Miss Starling. And, with help from her perverted old sensei (because…who DOESN'T have one of those these days?)…she gained the "Chainsaw Dash", allowing her to race focused with enhanced speed. Usually to clear long jumps."
Zap: "Juliet's chainsaw gains a further enhancement thanks to her older sister Cordelia, in the case of a "Chainsaw Blaster". This allows her to ward off enemies from long range, but she must always reload ammo."
Dark: "Wait…she's got a CHAINSAW, that's also a GUN?! I want one."
Zap: "Not gonna happen. Anyway…if Juliet wants to switch up her fighting style, she can switch over to her…Pom Poms. Yes, literal Pom Poms that she uses to fight zombies."
Dark: "Having trouble deciding whether that's awesome…or just plain stupid."
Zap: "Probably a little bit of both. Anyway…while Juliet's Pom Poms allow her to strike faster then she would with her chainsaw, it SHOULD be noted that they don't possess nearly the same amount of power as her primary weapon."
Dark: "The "Nick Cannon" allows her to fire the severed head of her boyfriend out of a cannon at her enemies. She can even put a helmet on him, and KICK HIM LIKE A SOCCER BALL?! Well, she certainly has an…"interesting" way of showing her love."
Zap: "Juliet also has the ability summon what's called "Star Soul Power". She's usually able to attain a "star" from her killed enemies…and, when her meter is filled up, this allows for Juliet to attain a substantial boost in her (already impressive) physical abilities."
Dark: "She's at just about the peak of human condition, able to perform near superhuman feats and jumps…all with very little effort, if any at all. She received karate training from Sensei Morikawa (the perv guy from before), and can even heal herself by eating lollipops?! The FUCK?!"
Zap: "Juliet couldn't be a zombie hunter without accomplishing some pretty feats along the way. She's strong enough to slice a UFO in half with her chainsaw, fast enough to dodge lasers and lightning, and durable enough to survive falling from high heights multiple times. With limited damage."
Dark: "She can battle hundreds, if not THOUSANDS, of zombies for HOURS on end without tiring, can keep up with Zed's attacks (which are stated to move at the speed of sound), and was once inside a giant zombie (no, not like that) when it exploded. Said explosion was powerful enough to wipe an entire city practically off the face of the Earth…and she walked away without a scratch. Holy hell, this chick's practically superhuman."
Zap: "Despite her…surprising amount of skills and weaponry, Juliet is FAR from "unstoppable". Along she's trained and talented, she is still a normal human being…and enough force CAN knock her down for good. She's also a bit…-."
"I'm glad I just so happened to wear my zombie-fighting underwear today."
"What?" Nick (currently a severed head hanging from Juliet's waist) asked.
"Sensei Morikawa said that wearing cotton underwear with little teddy bears or hearts is best for doing battle. He'd make me wear them to every class," Juliet replied (as if it were the most NORMAL sentence in the world).
"I'm so creeped out right now," Nick deadpanned.
Zap: "-naïve."
Dark: "Hey…she has the strength to cut steel like butter, the speed that would make Ruby Rose blush, and the durability to survive a nuke. The way I see it, she's allowed to reinforce the "dumb blonde" stereotype if she wants to. I know I'm not gonna stop her."
Zap: "That's a fair assessment. Juliet is as FAR from "average" as you could possibly get. Don't let her bright look and…"teenage" demeanor fool you, she's NOT someone that you want to piss off. She's got ferocious combat and killing skills…and is NOT afraid to use it."
"AHHH! I'M NOT DONE SCREAMING YET!" A "hand-less", gothic-looking zombie screamed out…as a line began to appear vertically along his body, "OH, THIS REALLY FUCKING HURTS MAN!"
"GEEZ…so emo," Juliet deadpanned, as she (rather impassively) watched Zed fall COMPLETELY apart.
[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]
Zap: "At first glance, Frank West isn't really that impressive of a "person". Simply…your run-of-the-mill journalist. But he's FAR from "run-of-the-mill", in just about every deal."
Dark: You got that right. He's covered wars, you know."
Zap: "Frank's drive would always push him to go far beyond the normal call of duty for his next big scope. It was this insane determination and iron will that led him to a mall in Willamette, California…where he would find something that would change his life forever: the zombie apocalypse."
Dark: "LUCKY! I never find anything that cool when I go to the mall."
Zap: "Well, I'm very…"sorry", that you never found zombies during your trips to the mall?"
Dark: "Thanks man, that really means a lot."
Zap: "ANYWAY…despite finding himself in a situation that would HORRIFY most people (and would usually lead to their own deaths), Frank…adapted pretty well to his situation, actually. Despite the fact that he's hardly ever even fired a gun in his life, Frank discovered that he's a natural when it comes to firearms. Pistols, shotguns, and even mini-guns."
Dark: "And when he's gotta get up close and personal, Frank decides to bust out his trusty baseball bat…which he uses to crush zombies' heads in! Hell…he's so inventive, he even uses his camera flash as a weapon!"
Zap: "True. With the camera appearing to be a Nikon 1600, it's likely to have a flash of color temperature of 6000 crystal light…which would be the equivalent of a flash-bang grenade of human eyes."
Dark: "But…bullets ran out, a bat is only so effective, and a camera really isn't an effective weapon for slaying zombies. So, Frank had to get a little…creative."
Zap: "That's right Dark. And, thanks to the fact that he was in a mall, Frank had a LOT of options to choose from. With nothing more then his blood, sweat, and tears (not to mention a LOT of duct tape), Frank became a master in the art…of "combo weapons"."
Dark: "Basically…he takes one thing, attaches it to another thing…and then proceeds to kill zombies with it."
Zap: "Uh…basically, yeah. The "Decapitator" is (basically) a blade taped to a boomerang, but don't let its simplicity fool you…this is a dangerous weapon that can be used to (as you can probably guess from the title) slice the heads clean off from multiple enemies in a single throw."
Dark: "By combining a sledgehammer and a car battery, Frank can form the "Electric Crusher"…a blunt weapon that lets him pound his foes into oblivion, and use lightning to roast their flesh till it's NICE and crispy. Hahaha…move aside Thor, there's a NEW God of Thunder in town."
Zap: "The "Reaper" is the unholy union of sickle and samurai sword, allowing Frank two avenues to cut his foes to ribbons."
Dark: "As if things couldn't get…cooler, he can combine liquid nitrogen and bladed weapons to form himself an "Ice Sword"…a blade he can use to slice apart his enemies, freezing them and leaving them to shatter in the process. Hahaha…see what I did there? Cooler?"
Zap: "Yes. We ALL noticed your…"pun", Dark. Anyway, Frank doesn't JUST have melee/handheld weapons in his arsenal…as he's also got a few specialized helmets at his disposal. His "Laser Eyes" allow him to (you guessed it) fire lasers from his eyes, by taping two gems to an alien head/mask…somehow."
Dark: "And in case that's not cool enough for you, he's also got the "Flaming Helmet". Oh…"what's that?", you might ask? Well, only…A TRICERATOPS SKULL THAT CAN SHOOT FLAMES FROM HIS FUCKING MOUTH! By combining a Triceratops helmet with various chemicals, he can breathe fire out his mouth like a dragon! Oh…and he can also charge at foes and impale them with the helmet's horns. You know…no big deal."
Zap: "And if Frank needs some more power, he can bring out his Exo-Suit. Made from slushie machines, the suit greatly enhances Frank's durability, speed…and especially, strength. He can push aside 2-ton cars, punch through concrete, and kick a 7-ton ambulance up to 20 twenty feet away."
Dark: "AND….he can even shoot ice tornadoes! Cause…why not? And if ALL of that is (SOMEHOW) still not enough for Frank…he busts out his ultimate technique: magic."
Zap: "Well…it's not really magic. Frank has the unique ability to put on "Special Suits" upon coming up to arcade machines. These allow him to "absorb" the skills and abilities of fellow Capcom characters…he can perform hurricane kicks as Ryu, and gain access to the "Mega Buster" as Mega Man."
Dark: "After Frankie survived the zombie outbreak, he did the only logical conclusion: he profited from it!"
Zap: "True. He became famous overnight, becoming known as the "Hero of Willamette". He got his own TV show and multiple endorsements. Unfortunately…fame is a fleeting mistress, and, soon, Frank's 15 minutes came…and went. Frank later went on to become a college professor…but not before going on several more zombie hunting adventures."
Dark: "And he wouldn't be able to do these adventures, without accomplishing some pretty impressive feats. He's strong enough to cave in a human skull and tear off human appendages with his bare hands, fast enough to dodge and evade a Humvee (which can reach a top speed of up to 70 miles per hour), and durable enough to multiple actions such as being shot at, stabbed, and fallen from great heights…and get right back up without hesitation."
Zap: "Perhaps most impressive is his sheer determination and will to survive. It's important to note that a lot of Frank's various feats take place within the span of seventy-three hours...without sleep OR rest. Multiple psychological studies have proved that the human mind begins to "deteriorate" after thirty-six hours without sleep, resulting in hallucinations. Frank, however, was able to (whether through sheer determination, or an insane amount of adrenaline) to remain at his peak physical and mental condition for twice that amount."
Dark: "Damn. With all those skills and weapons, can ANYONE stop this guy?"
Zap: "Well…Frank's far from "perfect". Despite his numerous inventive weapons in his arsenal, Frank doesn't have as much combat experience as you may believe. He's usually also PURELY motivated by his own self-interests, more so then anything else."
Dark: "Well…Frank may not be "perfect", but he's definitely a "qualified" badass in my book. He's killed THOUSANDS of zombies in his career (giving him one of the highest body counts in video game history), has battled and defeated numerous crazy psychopaths encountered throughout his adventures, and even defeated Lance Corporal Calder…the world's first, intelligent, soldier zombie. Frank even became a zombie himself for a time…giving him super strength, an immunity to pain, and acid spit. But don't worry…he got better."
Zap: "And lost his respective zombie powers in that process…but, that's beside the point. Anyway, Frank has remained as one of the most fearsome and…creative video game characters around. Even well into his fifties, many will fear the name…of Frank West."
"You dare defy ME?!" A purple-skinned, red-eyed figure dresses in gold snarled in a deep voice.
"Absolutely. Go get 'em, Frank!" A man in a red and gold suit of armor replied, pointing at his opponent.
"Whoa whoa, WHOA…you want me to go up against HIM?! He's gonna KILL me!" Frank West exclaimed.
"Well…they say journalism is a dying profession," his companion replied back.
[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]
Zap: "Alright, the combatants are set…let's end this debate once and for all."
Dark: "It's time for a Death BATTLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!"
[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]
It was evening, the sun already setting in the sky. The "setting" of today's showdown…was an abandoned city.
The entire city was virtually dead silent, numerous buildings having broken windows and damaged exteriors. The ground was cracked, vehicles were turned over…and there was blood and corpses that littered the ground.
"What're we doing here, Juliet?" A male voice rang out, from behind one of the (MANY) damaged buildings. From behind a building…walked out a woman. She had fair skin, blonde hair arranged in pigtails, and was holding a chainsaw in hand. She wore a purple sports bra (that exposed her lean stomach) and skirt, white stockings, and red shoes.
Strapped to her belt…was a literal human head, with tan skin and brown hair. He was the one who had spoken before.
"Don't you remember, Nick?" The now-named Juliet replied, practically skipping her way along the abandoned streets. "Remember how we heard of all the zombies that've been seen in the city? So now, we gotta find them…and KILL those fuckers!"
"Right…how could I forget?" Nick sarcastically muttered to himself. Suddenly…the two teens heard the sound of a window shattering. "What was that?!"
"I don't know," Juliet replied, as she knelt behind a (collapsed) car. She peaked ahead, to see…a guy?
It was true, she did see a guy. Said "guy" had fair skin, a black coat, and a camera wrapped around his neck. He was holding a bunch of…stuff in his hands, which he then threw into a shopping cart.
The man clapped his hands together, before twisting out his neck, "Ah…yeah. Can't get this stuff on a normal schedule."
"HEY, DUDE!" The man turned around, an eyebrow raised in confusion. His eyes widened a bit in surprise, as he saw…a teen girl waving over to him, a literal chainsaw in her hands.
"What…the hell?"
"You should really get out here, mister," Juliet continued, as she ran up to move closer to him, "It's not safe here."
"Frank West can take care of himself," the now-named Frank replied with a wave off, "And, no offense…but if there's anyone who should be taking cover, it's you," he spoke to Juliet, looking her up and down (1).
"HEY! Don't fucking leer at my girlfriend, man. Don't think I can't see you!" Frank's eyes widened a bit when he heard another voice, but…couldn't see anyone else, besides the girl before him. The man's eyes suddenly widened to the size of DINNER PLATES, when he saw a severed head hanging off of the girl's hip.
Frank sighed in annoyance, before pinching the bridge of his nose, "Great…just what I need. Having to deal with another psycho."
"HEY! Who're you calling a psycho, you dick?!" Juliet screeched out, holding up her chainsaw and "revving" it up.
"Well…that's just great," Frank muttered, as he took a slow step to his shopping cart filled with supplies.
(Fight!)
"SMILE!" Frank quickly took ahold of the camera wrapped around his neck…and soundly snapped a picture, the resulting flash suddenly blinding Juliet.
"AH! YOU DICK!" Juliet cried out, covering her eyes with her hands (dropping her chainsaw in the process). While the girl was distracted, Frank quickly reached into his shopping cart…and pulled out the "Decapitator". With a smirk on his face, Frank threw the "bladed-boomerang" with all his might.
"JULIET, DUCK!" The pig-tailed girl took the advice of her boyfriend, quickly dropping to the ground…allowing for the Decapitator to go flying over her head. As the weapon began its track back…Juliet's eyesight had recovered, and she'd "batted" the projectile away with her chainsaw.
Turning to glare at the man before her…Juliet charged.
Frank quickly reached into his cart, and pulled out his "Redeemer"…just in time to avoid a chainsaw slash, courtesy of Juliet. After stepping back, Frank tightened his grip on the Redeemer…before charging forward.
Juliet moved her head to the side as Frank jabbed the "sword end" of the Redeemer towards her face. He then swiped with the "sickle end", but Juliet quickly dodged the attack by performing the splits. The blonde then shot herself back up, her forehead colliding with Frank's chin (causing him to grunt in pain).
Juliet all but threw her weapon upwards, the chainsaw's blades slashing clean through the older man's weapon. Frank stumbled back, before Juliet drove her foot into his chest…knocking the man off balance.
Frank (after hitting his head against the pavement) opened his eyes…only for them to widen when he saw Juliet raising her chainsaw into the air. He quickly rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the danger of his opponent's weapon. He responded by quickly kicking the chainsaw out of the girl's hands, before picking himself up and racing towards the shopping kart.
"I have an idea, Nick!" Juliet called out, before reaching behind her and pulling out a red helmet. She then took her boyfriend's head off of her belt, and held him close to her, "Ready?"
"Ready!" Juliet quickly placed the helmet on her boyfriend's head, before tossing him up into the air.
"NICK SHOOT/NICK SHOOT!" Both teens cried out at the same time, just before she tossed Nick's head into the air…mere moments before she kicked her boyfriend at Frank!
"I'M COMING FOR YOU ASSHOLE!" Nick called out as he rocketed towards the older man. As he "flew", however…he didn't notice the baseball bat in Frank's hands.
"Batter up!" Frank called out as he raised the bat up. Nick's eyes widened he saw the bat…and was already too late to stop it. Frank swung the back…the wooden object colliding with Nick's helmet, and sending the severed head being sent FLYING into the air (screaming all the way). "It's outta the park!"
"Nick!" Juliet cried out, holding out her hand…being unable to "help" her boyfriend. Just then…she gritted her teeth, and turned around to glare furiously at Frank. "You…fucking BASTARD!" She cried out, just as she revved up her chainsaw.
"Alright…you wanna piece?! Come and get it!" Frank called back, twirling his bat in hand before racing forward. He moved his head to narrowly avoid a (furious) chainsaw slash, before landing a successful "bat" to the teen girl's side. Frank then raised his bat into the air, and brought it down hard…
…-at least, that was his intention. And what he would have done…had Juliet not threw her chainsaw into the air, slicing Frank's weapon in half. She then turned around, and drove the "blunt" end of her weapon into Frank's gut. As Juliet raised her weapon into the air, Frank quickly took ahold of his camera…and snapped another picture.
"AHHHH!" Juliet cried out, dropping her chainsaw as both hands went to cover her eyes. While his enemy was distracted, Frank quickly got to his feet and raced back to his cart.
With a chuckle, he pulled out his "Ice Sword", "Oh yeah…now this is what I'm talking about!" Tightening his grip around the handle…he charged.
Juliet, meanwhile, was furiously rubbing her eyes, trying to rid them of the singing sensation they had when she opened them. Eventually, they stopped and she was able to open them…just in time to see Frank standing over her, his…sword, raised in the air.
She quickly began moving herself backwards, causing Frank's Ice Sword to miss her by mere inches (freezing a bit of the ground upon contact). Backward rolling herself back upwards, Juliet quickly continued by pulling out…pom poms? Even Frank looked confused for the briefest of moments…which was all Juliet needed.
The blonde schoolgirl quickly raced forward, and began delivering a barrage of quick jabs onto the older man's face. Frank swung his Ice Sword out in response, but the girl before him (possibly due to dropping the added weight of her chainsaw) was proving too quick to hit that easily. Every time Frank swung his blade, Juliet dodged…and responded by either punching him across the face, or kicking him in the torso.
This went on for…nearly a minute, before Frank yelled out and stabbed his sword into the ground in front of him. The ground underneath the two of them froze almost instantly, causing Juliet to beginning slipping on the ice…waving her arms around to try and balance/steady herself.
"Whoa! WHOAAA!" In her attempts to try and steady herself, however…she wasn't paying attention to her opponent.
Releasing his grip on his Ice Sword's hilt, Frank lunged forward…wrapping his arms around Juliet's waist and tackling her to the ground. He picked himself him, and landed two successful punches to Juliet's face…before Juliet drove her knee into the man's crotch.
Frank's eyes widened to the size of TRUCKS, letting out a small whine before slowly falling to the side of the ground. Juliet quickly moved herself out from under Frank, and raced back over to her (primary) weapon.
"Ah…fuck," Frank muttered to himself, holding a hand over his groin as he slowly tried to pick himself up. "Not…cool."
"Yeah…that was the point, genius," Juliet (sarcastically) replied, picking back up her chainsaw and revving it up again. Without another word…she charged.
Frank was barely able to roll out of the way, as Juliet swung her chainsaw downwards. Suddenly...he saw something lying on the ground. Something that had been knocked out of his cart.
His "Lasers Eyes".
Quickly picking himself up, Frank raced over (narrowly avoiding getting his head sliced off by Juliet's chainsaw) and quickly placed the Laser Eyes over his head.
"Um…it's not Halloween buddy," Juliet spoke, pausing to simply…stare (confusedly), at the man before her, "What's that supposed to do?"
"Oh…only, THIS!" Frank yelled out, as he threw his head forward…two red laser beams firing out of the mask's (jewel) eyes. Juliet's eyes widened…just before she flipped to the side, dodging the attack completely.
With a small slight of hand…Juliet "shifted" her chainsaw, transforming it into its "Chainsaw Blaster" mode.
Frank ran towards the side, firing off his lasers as he moved. Juliet responded by beginning to move herself, ducking lower then before as she fired off shot after shot from her blaster. What ensued…was a back-and-forth between the two zombie hunters, lasers and shots being thrown across the damaged streets.
"RRRRRRRAAAAAAA!" Both man and woman flinched, when they suddenly heard a loud noise…coming from directly behind Juliet. The blonde teen turned around…only for her eyes to widen when she saw a HORDE of zombies making their way over to her.
"Oh…you've gotta be KIDDING me!" Juliet exclaimed/complained, before she quickly turned around and began shooting her weapon's shots at the incoming zombies.
Hearing a roar from behind him, Frank turned…to see "his own" zombie horde making their way to him. "Brilliant," Frank muttered to himself, before throwing his head outwards…blasting down the "front zombies" with his lasers.
The two killers were put into a position/situation where they were no longer focusing on one another, facing away from their (primary) opponents as they blasted their weapons to do what they could to keep the zombies back. Despite the multitude of shots and lasers that was being blasted outwards…the zombie hordes seemed near endless.
As they fought to keep the flesh-eating creatures at bay…neither Frank, nor Juliet noticed as they each began walking backwards (as the hordes moved closer and closer).
They both suddenly flinched, as they felt their backs collide with one another. Juliet (quickly getting over her own shock) swung her Chainsaw Blaster at Frank, who was quick to respond by dodging the attack…and driving his elbow into the back of her head. He then looked up, and blasted two beams of lasers near the feet of the approaching zombies (to try and keep them at bay).
Juliet (after having "steadied" herself) quickly smacked away at Frank's legs, knocking him onto the ground. The older man fell onto his face, the resulting fall cracking the gems within his Laser Eyes.
Juliet quickly picked herself upwards, stomping her foot down hard near Frank's head (the older man managing to move out of the way).. as she continued firing shots at the (still) coming zombies.
Frank (after picking himself up) all but tore the mask off of his head, leaping upwards and beginning to walk backwards.
Just then, however…his foot collided with.. something on the ground. Looking towards his foot, he saw the "Flaming Helmet". Acting quickly (before either Juliet OR the zombies could notice), Frank rolled across the ground…and quickly placed the triceratops-like helmet onto his head.
Juliet had quickly shifted her blaster back into it's normal "chainsaw mode", and was (currently) slashing apart any and every zombie that came within six inches of her. As she slashed diagonally at a zombie to the side…she saw something coming at her.
Something…orange.
Juliet leapt into the air, managing to avoid a stream of fire that came her way. While in the air, she noticed the fire compressing a wave of zombie. And, when she landed…the blonde schoolgirl noticed that she had landed in a (LITERAL) ring of fire.
As SOON as she landed…Frank charged forward, lowering his head (as to impale Juliet on his helmet's horns). Juliet quickly dodged the attack, before bringing the blunt end of her chainsaw down (HARD) onto Frank's head.
Frank grunted as his head collided with the ground…but he quickly got his bearings and rolled away, figuring that his opponent was gonna go in for another attack.
And, you know what? He was proven right, as Juliet's foot came slamming down where his head had previously been. Shaking his head out, Frank picked himself up…and charged forward, stabbing Juliet in her stomach with his horns.
"AHHHH!" Juliet screamed out, her chainsaw falling from her grip. She did, however, dig her feet into the ground, keeping herself from being pushed forward. Before Frank could do…anything (really), Juliet lifted her hands up…and brought her fists down onto the man's head. The resulting hit actually broke the helmet's horns, as Frank was (for what felt like the fifth time that day) sent to the ground.
Juliet took a step(/stagger) back, holding her hands over the (severed) horns lodged in her body. The pigtailed girl shut her eyes and began breathing heavily through her mouth, as she wrapped her hands around the horns.
Before she TORE them out.
This time…Juliet held in the scream of pain that built it's way up in her throat, biting down on her lip so hard that she could practically taste blood.
Hearing another "moaning sound" behind her, Juliet turned…to see how the zombies were beginning to "merge" their way through the flames, their bodies (of the zombies who hadn't collapsed) now being on fire. "Oh…perfect," Juliet muttered to herself, before picking and revving up her weapon.
Frank (after a few moments) picked himself up off of the ground, taking off his (now broken) Flaming Helmet and tossing it away. Quickly looking around, he noticed that the "ring of fire" he'd created was just about out now…and that the zombies (some of them flaming) were on their way towards them.
As Juliet was slashing apart of bunch of them with her chainsaw, Frank's eyes quickly scanned his surroundings…before they landed on a lone arcade machine. "Bingo," he spoke with a smirk, before quickly picking himself up and racing towards the machine.
Juliet, in the meantime, was slicing apart any zombie that got close to her, sending limbs and severed parts flying any and every which way. She hadn't really heard anything from Frank, so…truth be told, she was pretty sure that the zombies had already eaten him.
As she sliced another zombie in half horizontally, she suddenly heard a yell of "HADOKEN!"…a split second before a (literal) orb of blue energy came flying towards her location, creating an explosion as it collided with the zombies in front of her. The resulting force knocked Juliet off her feet, sending her to the ground with a yell.
Looking over as to where the attack had come from, she found…a sight that she was NOT expecting.
It was Frank…but, now? He was shirtless, wearing a red headband, a black belt, and white pants. Frank cracked his knuckles…before he leapt into the air, landing in-between a couple zombies. He threw a punch forward, going clean through the chest of one zombie…before pushing them away and performing a kick that took off the heads of two more zombies.
He then gave a look at Juliet…before jumping into the air with a cry of "Tatsumaki Senpukyaku!". He held a leg out, spinning quickly as he did so...the attack landing on the blonde killer, delivering multiple strikes upon his opponent.
"SHORYUKEN!" Frank yelled out, before delivering a POWERFUL uppercut into Juliet's chin. The sheer force of the attack launching the teen high off into the air, getting her to release her grip on her weapon.
Juliet grunted when she (after a few moments of soaring through the air) felt her back collide with the metal roof of a car, just before she fell to the ground. She groaned, holding a hand to her face…while Frank was battling the zombies who were beginning to convene on him.
"Ah…fuck," Juliet muttered to herself, as she began to (slowly) pick herself up. As she did so, she ended up looking underneath the car…and saw Frank (or, rather…his feet) leave the ground, a moment or two before another blue projectile collided with a horde of zombies (blowing them all to bits). Peeking her head from behind the car, she saw Frank land after his jump…before going immediately back to taking down in one hit, or ripping apart the zombies that came near him.
Turning her head…he eyes widened, when they laid down upon her chainsaw…resting mere feet away from her! She took a took gander back to Frank, seeing him still holding off the (remaining) zombie horde (rather impressively, if she absolutely HAD to be honest). With a quick movement…Juliet rolled across the ground, and snatched her weapon back into her hands (wasting NO time in revving the chainsaw up).
Hearing the familiar revving of a chainsaw, Frank looked back…before quickly leaning his head back, narrowly avoiding the "blade" of his opponent's weapon (and narrowly avoiding getting his head chopped off). He knelt down, and delivered a fierce punch to Juliet's stomach (getting the blonde's eyes to nearly go plunging out of her skull).
Juliet was taken back a few steps, coughing…before quickly shaking her head, before picking it up to glare at Frank. Frank glared back at her, before cracking his neck…and bringing his hands together near his side, ANOTHER ball of blue energy forming within his hands.
But…Juliet wasn't going to fall prey to that attack again.
"HADOKEN!" Frank screamed out, launching the energy attack towards his opponent. Juliet, however…was prepared this time. Moving forward, she actually LEAPT above the attack…before pressing a button on her chainsaw, getting thrusters (2) to appear from her weapon.
She suddenly SPED forward, before turning her body…and driving BOTH of her feet into Frank's chest, the resulting attack knocking the man into a window behind him.
As soon as Juliet's feet touched the ground…she began spinning around, holding her chainsaw out at arm's length to cut down the zombies that were beginning to convene on HER location. Heads, arms, and torsos were falling onto the ground, as Juliet mercilessly cut them to ribbons.
Some of the zombies, however, weren't attacking Juliet (believe it or not). These zombies were, in fact, making their way over towards the building who's window Frank had crashed through (figuring that, in his downed state, he'd been an easier target).
As they began crawling their way through the broken window (ignoring the jagged pieces of glass penetrating their rotten flesh, obviously)…they DIDN'T see a large(r) figure emerging from the darkness.
Juliet flipped over a zombie, slicing it in half (vertically) before spinning around and thrusting her chainsaw into the chest of another. Just then, however…she heard a loud "THUMP!" from her left side. When she turned towards the sound of the noise…her eyes widened, her jaw dropped, and she nearly released her grip on her weapon.
It was Frank…but, he CERTAINLY got…an "upgrade". He was currently in a mechanized suit, blue in coloration. Only, he appeared to have…slushie machines strapped to his back?
"You have GOT to be kidding me," Juliet commented to herself, practically "leaning" her chainsaw against the ground.
"Ice to meet you," Frank spoke in a (slightly) deep voice, before laughing out loud, "Get it?" He (somewhat rhetorically) asked, before throwing a punch forward…a (LITERAL) ice tornado suddenly materializing by his action.
Juliet ONLY had enough time to widen her eyes…before she found herself swept into the air by the tornado, along with most of the remaining zombies. "FUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK!" The pigtailed girl cried out, as her entire body spun around like a top throughout the icy winds.
As her eyes darted around, she noticed how many of the zombies (below her, BTWs) were freezing solid in mere seconds…before shattering completely.
Feeling a (freezing) cold sensation around her legs, she looked down…and saw that her legs were already beginning to freeze over as well. Thinking quickly, Juliet pressed a button on her chainsaw…getting the thrusters from before to appear quickly.
With a sudden movement…Juliet was shot into the air, and (more importantly) out of the ice tornado. With quick movement, the ice around her legs broke (freeing her appendages). Switching "functions" of her weapon…she quickly activated her "Chainsaw Blaster", before she began falling towards the ground.
Towards Frank.
The older zombie hunter did, in fact, see this…and was ready for retaliation. Both combatants let out a loud yell, Frank throwing a punch forward…while Juliet readied her blaster.
Between the attacks of the two zombie hunters, and the power of the (remaining) ice tornado…caused a MASSIVE explosion (non-fiery, of course) to tear throughout the current area.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Juliet groaned, struggling to even open her eyelids (much less move her body). It took her a moment, before she was ready to pick herself up…which she began to, as she slowly pushed off a large slab of concrete that was pinning her to the ground.
She placed her other hand on it, groaning as she shoved the concrete of her in a bout of strength. Juliet let out a breath (in both exhaustion, and relief), before reaching down and picking her chainsaw up off of the ground. Leaning on her weapon, Juliet placed a hand above her eyes as she began looking around the (now all but destroyed) area.
BOOM!
Juliet suddenly spun forward, holding up her chainsaw in defense. In a moment…out stood Frank. Juliet noted how his clothes were torn, and wounds littered his body (not unlike herself). The primary "aspect" of her concern?
The hammer in Frank's head, a car battery attached to a sledgehammer. His "Electric Crusher".
"Of course," Juliet complained with an eyeroll. She then took something out from her belt, and tossed it high into the air. Juliet raised her chainsaw into the air…and revved the weapon up in challenge. "Come on then, asshole! Let's finish this!"
"Took the words right out of my mouth!" Frank called back, before tightening his grip on his Electric Crusher…and charging forward. Juliet let out a battle cry of her own, readied her own weapon and charging forward herself.
Juliet slashed her chainsaw in a diagonal slash…which Frank was able to dodge, before driving his hammer into the side of the younger female. Juliet went slamming into a nearby wall, cracking the wall and dropping her weapon in the process.
After a moment of pain, Juliet (slowly) opened her eyes…just in time to see Frank charging at her, Electric Crusher at the ready.
Juliet quickly rolled out of the side, narrowly avoiding the "slamming" of Frank's weapon. She delivered a swift kick to the leg of Frank (getting him to wince in pain), before taking her chainsaw…and driving the blunt end of her weapon into the chin of her opponent.
As Juliet revved up her chainsaw…Frank shook his head out, and readied his Electric Crusher yet again.
And then…they charged.
Juliet slashed her chainsaw diagonally, to which Frank was successful in avoiding. He lifted the Electric Crusher into the air…before SLAMMING it down, lightning crackling off of it. Juliet leapt(/cartwheeled) away from the attack…and as soon as her feet touched the ground, Frank was there again with swinging his weapon. As Juliet ducked underneath the attack, Frank lifted the Electric Crusher into the air…a split second before Juliet slashed her chainsaw in (for what felt like the hundredth time that day) a diagonally "position".
…
…
Frank's eyes widened to (practically) the size of dinner plates, as the two zombie hunters were completely still. The older man's wide eyes were met with Juliet's hardened ones.
First…Frank's (cut) arms fell to the ground, his weapon falling to the ground as well. And then…the top half of Frank's body began to (slowly) begin sliding off, until it fell off to the ground completely.
Juliet stared on, as Frank's body collapsed into pieces. She then let out a breath, one that she didn't realize she was holding in, "MAN…that was tricky then I thought."
Just then…the "object" that Juliet had thrown into the air fell back towards the ground. She opened her hand, and caught the object…which was revealed to be a lollipop. Juliet tore off the lollipop's wrapper with her teeth, before placing it in her mouth. She placed her weapon over her shoulder, and began (literally) skipping away from the battlefield.
(KO)
Juliet finds Nick's fallen head as she makes her way…away from the battlefield, while a few remaining zombies move in to feast on Frank's remains.
Dark: Whoa, NELLY! Now that's what I call a Death Battle!"
Zap: "This was a fairly…"interesting" fight to figure out. While Frank certainly had a more…"diverse" arsenal, and likely had a bit more experience then even Juliet…his opponent was simply too great for him to overcome. She certainly possessed more destructive force, being able to cut an actual UFO made of solid steel in half with only her weapon and her own physical ability. Even Calder, the hyper-intelligent solid zombie who's stated to be vastly superior to Frank's in terms of physical strength, does not reach the level of attacking power given off by Juliet."
Dark: "Juliet also has the speed advantage. While she and Frank both possess similar reaction speeds, Frank can react to bullets…whereas Juliet is fast enough to dodge lightning."
Zap: "Lightning bolts can travel at up to two hundred and twenty-four thousand miles per hour, whereas even the fastest of bullets can only travel at eighteen hundred miles per hour. This means that Juliet is almost one hundred and twenty five times faster and more agile then Frank."
Dark: "In terms of durability, the Starling girl had that down-pat too. She was swallowed by a Kaiju-sized zombie, and was inside it when it explosion…an explosion that wiped a city from the face of the Earth. Juliet essentially took a nuke to the face…and walked away without so much as a scratch. Even Calder (Frank's superior in power) doesn't come close to the level of destructive force that Juliet was able to survive. And, keep in mind that the level of power that Frank hasn't dealt with? That didn't even put a scratch on Juliet!"
Zap: "Frank's unique arsenal certainly made him an unpredictable opponent, and his experience and stamina did keep him in the game...making this fight FAR from one-sided. Ultimately, though...Juliet was simply TOO fast, TOO strong, and TOO durable for Frank to overcome.
Dark: "Ultimately, Frank wasn't the star…to keep Juliet from rising."
Zap: "The winner is Juliet Starling."

Next Time on Death Battle
A man wearing a cowboy hat and a face mask walks forward and tosses a bag to the ground, revealing a red-eyed head that rolls out. Across from him...a stunning woman with green hair and eyes allows a butterfly to land (gently) on her finger, the woman smiling gently as it did.
"And why should I kneel at your church?" The man asked.
"Have faith in your new god, Erron Black," the woman replied, as the butterfly flew away.
"I don't take ANYTHING on faith," the now-named Erron Black shot back, eyes narrowed as he held his hands on his belt.
Versus
All that's seen...is darkness. Until two large, glowing red eyes appear and the darkness is extinguished...revealing a figure cloaked in armor, swinging around two sharp metal blades.
A man in a white mask walks forward, holding a rifle, "Do what I say, or bullets fly."
"I know where Zoey lives," the metal man ominously spoke, his weapons "sheathing" back into his wrists.
"You just committed suicide," the gunman growled, pointing his weapon at his opponent.
Erron Black VS. Deadshot
(Author's Note: Annnnnnnnnd scene!
(1): I want to make clear that Frank wasn't "leering" at Juliet, he was revering to the fact that Juliet was a teenager who was in a zombie-infested city.
(2): I don't know precisely what the term would be, but…you guys know what I mean.
I hope this fight turned out well. I had some…"doubt", involving this fight:/ Although I wasn't as "confident" about this fight as I had started with…but, I am confident in my work. I've done my research, and proven that Juliet is faster, stronger, and more durable then Frank. There's no doubt in that fact.
So.. it's a battle of the assassins, with Erron Black versus Deadshot. I decided to save Adam for a future fight (needed more time to come up with a good opponent for him), so I hope you guys aren't upset. But...I think a battle between the top assassins of Mortal Kombat and DC will be a good replacement for now, don't you?;)
Remember…constructive critism ONLY. NO flames allowed.
Review, favorite, follow, and I'll see you guys next time:)
