This is my first fan fiction story, I hope you like it.
I don't own Deadliest Warrior through I would love to.
Ivan The Terrible, a Russian czar, fought and won the largest empire of his time vs
William Wallace, the Scottish rebel, who fought the British army in the Scottish War of Independence.
WHO
IS
DEADLIEST?
Geoff Desmoulin is scientist who collects data in order to decide if the warrior's weapons are lethal. Armand Dorian is an Emergency room doctor in Los Angeles. His job is to decide if the data collected by Geoff, the scientist, is lethal to the other warriors. Richard Machowicz is a former navy seal who dives into the tactics of the warriors. Robert Daly inputs the data into the simulation combat engine
"I can't wait to see how this match up plays out," Geoff said.
"Also, I can't wait to see the tactics unfold with these two amazing warriors," Mac explained
"Lets look at the stats," Dorian said.
Ivan The Terrible
CIRCA 1560 AD
AGE: 30
Height: 6'
Weight: 180 LBS
Armor: Plated Mail
William Wallace
Born 1270 - 1305 died
Height-6'
Armor - Chain mail
They will fight a five on five, squad battle
Short ranged weapons:
William Wallace comes into battle with the warhammer. In season 1, we saw its killing potential, as it crushed skulls and has a spike at the end.
Ivan the terrible counters with the Sablia, a murderous saber blade, used in Russia and carried by some Mongols. Last season we saw it could slice a pig in half very quickly.
So who gets the edge?
"Even through the warhammer has more options, it has very short range. Ivan's Sablia has a longer range, so for that reason alone, my edge goes to the sablia," Mac announces .
In short range weapons Edge: Ivan The Terrible
Mid range weapons:
William Wallace bet his life on the claymoresword. It cuts off heads from over three feet away. As we saw at season 1, it cut up to three necks in one swing.
Ivan the terrible carries the Bardiche. This weapon can kill a man on horseback when they aren't wearing any steel plate armor.
Who gets the edge?
"Now the Bardiche is an imitating weapon. A bardiche resembles and axe with small holes in it. Lets remember Ivan had his men dressed up in black robes. Imagine seeing this weapon carried by guys in black robes and on horseback. It would be sheer terror. With that being said, it is a heavy weapon and after one, two, maybe three strikes, you get fatigued using this weapon. With the claymore, you still get fatigued, but you can get more kills. "Edge claymore," Geoff announced.
Mid range weapons edge: William Wallace
Long range weapons:
William Wallace carried into battle the Ball and Chain, a devastating weapon. If you get it hit with it, it's guaranteed to either break a bone or kill you.
Ivan the terrible trusted his life with the Pischal and it was paired with the Bardiche. The pischal was a matchlock gun, which needed to be on the steady surface in order to be accurate.
Dorian explained, "During the simulation in season one, ball and chain got one kill out of a thousand battles. With that being said, the gun is more accurate and deadlier."
Long range weapons edge: Ivan the terrible
Armor:
Because armor is a critical x-factor we will look at the armor these two warriors wore
William Wallace: chain mail.
Geoff said, "Chain mail is good only for defending against slashing weapons and even then, it is isn't that good."
Next we take a look at Ivan the terrible armor.
Ivan the terrible: plated chain mail
Mac said, "The chain mail is the same as Wallace's but it has plates in it so it can give more protection against thrusting weapons."
So who gets the edge?
Rob announced, "Ivan The Terrible has plated chain mail but WILLIAM WALLACE had only plain chain mail, so Ivan had more protection. Edge Ivan The Terrible."
Armor edge: Ivan The Terrible
Now before we run the simulation 5000 times we have to consider x-factors .
Dorian said, "You know the physiological health of these warriors is going to be a big x-factor."
Rob explained, "You are right. As we know, Ivan The Terrible used mercury. His psychological health is so poor. On William Wallace's side, he began fighting the British because they killed his wife. In his grief, he doesn't have the best psychological health, but his is much better than Ivan's."
Psychological Health
Ivan The Terrible 37 William Wallace 76
"That leads us into Generalship. What are their stats?" Geoff said.
"This is a big x-factor. Ivan The Terrible had many problems with his troops. William Wallace was much better at making relationships and keeping them. So we rated Ivan The Terrible low on this," Rob stated.
Generalship
Ivan The Terrible 54 William Wallace 89
Mac asked "What about Dominance?"
"Ivan gets the edge because he was insane and you didn't know what he was going to do. So you respected Ivan. Where has with William Wallace we know that he used guerrilla style tactics that isn't a bad thing through. It is for that reason we gave him a lower score. Really close though," Rob said.
Dominance
Ivan The Terrible 78 William Wallace 75
Dorian asked "Something that plays into dominance is physicality. How did you rate that?"
"With physicality it is close, almost even. We know Ivan's weight but we don't know William Wallace's. Based off his height, he probably weighs about the same, but we don't know. So I am giving this one to Ivan," Rob explained.
Physicality
Ivan The Terrible 84 William Wallace 83
Mac said, "Physicality also can be used in intimidation how did they stack up."
"When you look at Ivan The Terrible the first troops he sent down where his Oprichniki horseman. What did they wear? Black robes. Imagine seeing them coming down a hill, and you were fighting against them. Then they used savage tactics. If that wasn't enough to scare you. Seeing your friends being tortured I think would. William used the intimidating look of his weapons," Rob said.
Intimidation
Ivan The Terrible 90 William Wallace 65
Geoff said, "So we did handle all the x-factors. Let's run the simulation."
They will have four soldiers to help these two generals.
Rob presses the enter button and the simulation begins.
O William loses someone on his squad
X Ivan loses someone on his squad
William Wallace and a group of four soldiers dock at what they thought was England. A storm passed through while they where sleeping. William and the four soldiers go ashore, and quickly discover it isn't England. It is freezing outside. William and his men want to go back, but he remembers they need food and fresh water. They go up a hill and hear a scream. They run and get their weapons and then go back up the hill. They see a man and four men who look like Grim Reapers. Then they see someone about to be pulled apart. The man gives the order and the grim reapers starts pulling the man's body apart using horses. Ivan The Terrible notices William and his men.
One of William's men swings his ball and chain, then throws it. It hits the man being torn apart and kills him. Ivan gets furious because one of the odd looking men killed the man he was torturing. Ivan planned on killing the victim later. Ivan tells his men to kill the odd looking people, then throws one of his men off his horse and jumps on. Wallace directed his men to kill Ivan and his men, and they charge. One of Ivan's men gets his bardiche and Pischal. He fires the gun. It hits one of William's men and he dies instantly. O. Ivan and one of his men on horseback approach two of Wallace's men.
Ivan swings his sablia and William's right hand man is cut in half. O. The other solider that was attacked with the bardiche is still alive. He had killed Ivan's right hand man with the claymore sword. X. That solider is about to kill Ivan but Ivan's solider with the gun shoots him and kills him first. O. One of Wallace's men stabs and kills the soldier with the gun. X. Ivan sees the claymore sword and becomes extremely volatile. William's last solider crushes the enemy soldier's skull killing him instantly. X. Ivan's last solider uses the bardiche to kill the last enemy soldier. O. William uses the spike end of the war hammer, it hits the enemy's, heart and it comes out of the man's chest. X. William looks horrified as he takes the heart off the spike on. Ivan looks at William and then at the cross that he hammered into a tree. Ivan rides over and tries to kill William by swinging his sablia.
Wallace ducked and it hits the horse's leg with hammer side. The horse falls and so does Ivan. Ivan gets up and kills the horse, not for falling, but for being hit with the war hammer which was Ivan's fault. They exchange hateful looks and William sees that Ivan has a longer range than the war hammer. He gets out his claymore sword, and thrusts it at Ivan. It hits the plated part of Ivan's armor, and it bounces off. Then Ivan foolishly attacks William, but his sword deflected off the chain mail. William is about strike again but Ivan manages to strike first. This blow cuts William's head off before he has a chance to strike. O. William's head falls limply to the ground, as his body soon follows. Ivan puts his sword in the air, and yells in victory.
Rob later explained, "After 5 thousand battles, Ivan is the winner because he had gun powder and a longer short range weapon."
IVAN THE TERRIBLE William Wallace
3,000 wins 2,000 wins
60% 30%
In a head to head weapons comparison
Sablia 60% War hammer 40%
Bardiche 45% Claymore sword 55%
Pischal 99.0000000005% Ball and chain only 5 kills
Mac announces, "The reason why Ivan won is because, Ivan didn't do what William thought he would do because Ivan was crazy."
Geoff said,"Ivan won because he had better weapons, and better armor great job Ivan."
Dorian explained, "X-factors can help or hurt depending on the situation. In this situation, having poor psychological health helped Ivan because William Wallace is rational and thought Ivan would think logically and fall into traps he sets. Most of the time, Ivan did not. So William Wallace was, in history, a great tactician. However, if you're facing someone who struggles with mental illness you could be SUN TZU and still not be able to figure out Ivan's next move. So this time poor psychological health helped Ivan, but has we saw in season three it doesn't always help you."
Ivan is seen yelling in victory.
Then the credits roll.
