Hey, LittleZbot here, and allow me to introduce something you will probably either love or hate or just not care about. This is a Death Battle fanfiction. Based off the popular Online Show, I pit two fictional characters in a battle to the death and explain why I think who won would win. If this sounds like a terrible idea to you, that's because it probably is, and you might want to leave and never read anything I write again in this fanfiction. I mean, you're free to go ahead and read it, but I can't guarantee its quality.
Let me establish something: This is just for fun. I literally look all this stuff up and write it all down because I enjoy doing so. The only reason this is even on here is because some people have informed me that others could enjoy reading it. This fanfiction is, of course, heavily inspired by the official Death Battle series, but also by my good friend DeadAliveManiac's Death Battle fanfiction as well. If you do like this stuff, you should check him out; he and his friends put way more time and effort into these than I do, and he has more than sixty battles available for your enjoyment.
There's a lot of text below here, but you don't have to read it if you don't want to. It's just giving out basic Death Battle rules, examples of those rules, and asking you to play nice. If you want, go right ahead to the first battle. Or just read the stuff in bold.
Let me clarify a couple of things:
The Three Rules of Death Battle:
- No direct outside help.
Objects and weapons that are typically available to the character will be allowed, but no random involvement from other people that have no business being in the fight. If I pit Iron Man vs., I don't know, Mr. Krabbs, I can't say Iron Man would win because he would call in the Hulk who would kill Mr. Krabbs. That's not fair, and that's not the question we're asking. But I could certainly allow Iron Man use of all of his suits, as he generally has full access to them.
-No non-cannon knowledge of the other character.
If I put Spiderman vs. Mr. Krabbs, I can't say Mr. Krabbs will win because of Spiderman's pesticide weakness. If both characters have never met, they will not start off knowing anything about the other fighter. Of course, stuff like Mind Reading, 4th Wall Breaking, and even incredible deduction skills can easily override this.
- Personal restraints/rules against killing are ignored in interest of having the battles actually play out and/or end.
If I do Dora vs. Superman, one of them will die in the end, even though neither would actually kill the other if they really met. However, all other characteristics will remain true to the character so they will be properly represented.
In addition, I'd like to add a couple of basic rules:
- The terrain may be something familiar to both combatants, or, well, whatever, but must no be the deciding factor in the fight.
If I pit a character who can manipulate lava against one who can manipulate trees, it wouldn't be fair for me to have the battle in a forest and nowhere else, for example.
- Either the most popular version of a character or a composite character will be used for characters with more than one incarnation.
So I could certainly compose a version of Kenny from South Park based on all the episodes of South Park he's in, despite his dying every episode or so clearly showing that each version is a new Kenny, but if I were to use the Flash in a battle, I'd use Barry Allen's Flash, even though Wally West's Flash is more powerful. It just depends on what makes sense. Don't worry, I'll clarify all this before each battle where it's a question.
- I will determine a win based on who I believe would win more times if they both fought dozens, even hundreds of times.
So, in a battle of Batman and a Larry the Cucumber, Larry might win 0.01% of the time because he tries to make Batman eat him, somehow succeeds, and ends up choking Batman. However, this is extraordinarily unlikely, so I would officially declare Batman the winner in a Death Battle since he just cuts Larry in half with a Knife/Batarang the other 99.99% of the time.
And finally, just for clarification:
- The battle is just a fun extra. It does not, I repeat, does not, determine the winner. That is determined based on data long before I start the battle.
- Uploads may very well be sporadic, as I'm doing this just for fun, not seriously. In addition, the "Next Time on Death Battle"s, may not be what actually gets posted next. They're more of a teaser for what I kinda want to do next, but I make no promises about anything.
- If you think I'm wrong, it probably means I am. Go ahead and leave a rant or a review or whatever saying what you want to say. I promise I won't delete it. Please do remember, however, that this whole thing is just for fun. I'm just one guy, writing a ripoff of a friend's story that was a ripoff of an internet show that was a ripoff of a History Channel show. I'm going to get things wrong. So please don't get upset if your favorite character dies or if you think I'm wrong about the winner.
- If you are unfamiliar with the format of Death Battle, I recommend you either watch an episode on YouTube or read a chapter of DeadAliveManiac's Death Battle fic.
Thank you, everyone for reading this.
Anyway, let's get into our first fight.
