I had been through rough times before, and well, if you can see the title of this, then you probably know what I have decided to do:
I'm going the continue this story.
But, I'll be moving this over to the crossover section between Dragon Ball Z and Web Shows.
.
.
.
.
Anyway, I can not believe I have gotten so many reviews from my first chapter. This is the greatest feedback I have ever gotten. Thank you guys so much for this! I deeply appreciate it.
Now, first off, I was suppose to say something else at the end of the first chapter, but as you may know by now, I had problems with updating that part. It would always buffer. And it was really annoying. I hope it doesn't happen again.
Anyway, here are my replies to your reviews from "Boba Fett vs. Samus Aran":
yoshi3000 (this review is from the teaser): I will have Beerus and Whis join the cast... when we get to "Goku vs. Superman 2".
Israel Pena: Yah, maybe I should. But the problem is that I don't know how I'm gonna do the Death Battles with the time skip between the "Battle of Gods Arc" and the "Ressurection F Arc". I'll probably like stop at the end of Season 2 of DEATH BATTLE! before the "Ressurection F Arc". So, I'll probably give the Z Fighters a little taste of the future.
TrialWriter246: Oh, this is only the beginning!
yoshi3000 (this one is from last chapter): Yah, I might do that. But the problem is that Dragon Ball Z Abridged had been shut down by YouTube... again. I don't know how long it's gonna take for those videos to come back.
Speaking of which, I'm actually planning on doing another "The Z Fighter Reacts..." fanfic. You heard of the YouTuber MaSTAR Media, right? He does these amazing animations, and I'm gonna have the Z Fighters react to them. Don't worry MaSTAR, if your reading this, I'll put a Disclaimer.
The Prophet of Courage: Yah, this surely is a masterpiece.
Louisa (Guest): Me too.
Guest (1): Yah, when the Z Fighters see Super Saiyan 4, things are gonna get very interesting.
magical fan18: Oh, there'll be more!
Guest (2): Lol, too.
Lightingblade49: This story will get better. Trust me.
ultima-owner: Oh, they will. They will!
gamelover41592: I hope this goes beyond Season 2.
Drago Dragonheart: Yah, I miss that fanfic. I hope epicvictory2025 is proud of what I've done.
Sai Kunai Blade: Thanks, dude. And I hope I didn't annoy you or anything from the first chapter, because you are the author of "Two Saiyans Watch Death Battle", after all.

Alright, LETS GET READY FOR THE FIGHT!
HERE WE GO!
"A Battle Between Villians!? Death Battle: Akuma vs. Shang Tsung!"
"Well, Krillin, I think we're about to find out," Goku said, before walking towards the TV.
"Hey, dad," Trunks asked his father. Vegeta looked at him. "I was wondering, how did you and Goku travel to that other world? All you said is that you two disappeared and reappeared in the other world and the same process happen when you return here. Was there some sort of indirect instant transmission, or something?"
Vegeta looked at his son, for a moment.
.
.
.
"...Well, it all started with a white blur," Vegeta began.
FLASHBACK
Vegeta covered his eyes, as a white blur shined all around him. It continued for a couple of minutes.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The shining faded. Vegeta reverted his arms back, nudged his nose, closed his eyes, and shook his head. "What was that?" he whispered to himself.
He then open his eyes and found himself staring into a white void. He quickly look around and all he saw was white. He lowered his eyebrows, and said, "Where the hell am I?"
"Yo, Vegeta!"
The said prince widen his eyes. He recognized that voice. He turn back around and saw his rival, flying straight towards him. "Kakarot?"
Goku landed safely in front of him. "Your here, too?" he asked.
"What are you talking about?" Vegeta said.
"You know... this... this... ...wait what is this place?" Goku realized.
This made Vegeta irritated. "Tsk, how should I know!? How did you even get here, Kakarot!?" he shouted.
Goku put a hand up to his chin. "Well, I just was picking up some carrots in the field. Then this white blur just came out of nowhere and blinded me. And the next thing I know I was transported to this place. This all happen a few minutes ago," he explained.
Vegeta stared at him, realizing the connection they had. "Hmm, you too, huh?"
Goku looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Wait, that happen to you, too?" Vegeta nodded in response. "Man, what a weird day. Anyway, Vegeta, I was trying to find an exit to get out of this place, but I couldn't find anything."
"Well, looks like we're stuck here," Vegeta concluded.
"Yah, but how long, though?" Goku asked, as he looked around.
"Help..."
Suddenly, a unknown voice was heard in the background. Goku and Vegeta quickly went into their fighting stances. "Who's there!?", Goku shouted.
"Help..."
"Don't play games with us!" Vegeta yelled, while also transforming into Super Saiyan. Goku followed, as well.
"Help us..."
"What are you talking about!?" Goku shouted.
"I need you..."
This statement brought confusion into both of them. "W-What?" Goku stuttered.
"He needs you..."
FWISH
Suddenly, a floating image, what looked similar to a glass mirror, was formed in front of them. At first there was nothing, but then, slowly, the image was then colored in. Goku and Vegeta looked at each other, then back at the image. The image was now fully colored. Within the image, showed a young man with brown hair and black eyes. The man was seen panting, clenching his teeth, as blood dripped down at the side of his forehead. The background of the image was dark, but there was also sparks of fire blowing around him.
"What is this?" Vegeta growled.
"He needs your help..."
"But why, though? Why does he need our help!?" Goku shouted.
"Something close to us is in danger... Something close to him is in danger... Help him... Find the Relic... Or we're all going to die..."
"I don't believe you," Vegeta said.
"Vegeta,.. I think this voice is telling the truth," Goku, a little bit uncomfortable with the ongoing situation.
His rival looked at him, "What?"
"Well, look at the boy! He's barely alive! We got to help him!" Goku urged him.
"But we don't know what this Relic is," Vegeta growled.
"You will know,.. when you see it..."
FWOOSH
Suddenly, a white portal appeared right next to the image, surprising Goku and Vegeta.
"Hurry... You don't have much time..."
"Lets go, Vegeta!" Goku yelled, before flying towards the portal. Vegeta hesitantly complied and flew after his rival.
After they went through, the portal closed.
Present Day...
"Whoa...," Trunks and Goten said, as Vegeta finished his story. Everyone else was listening in. It wasn't long after the prince began his story. Goku had already putted in the next episode of DEATH BATTLE!
"That was some story," Roshi said. The others nodded in agreement.
"What did you do with the Relic?" Mr. Satan asked.
"Well, we can't say much, but we gave it to whoever spoke to us in the white void," Goku explained.
"I guess that Relic must've been really important to that voice," Yamcha said.
More than you could ever imagine, Vegeta thought.
"Anyway, now that that's out of the way, lets watch the second episode of Death Battle," Bulma said, before pressing 'play'.
An advertisement about a video gaming company called Gamefly was seen on screen. It talks about delivering video games right at your doorstep.
"I think we're gonna see an advertisement before every episode," Videl said.
"I think your right about that, Videl," Gohan said to his wife.
"Man, I do love me some video games," Trunks said, as he look at the advertisement.
"But, that does waste time for training," Goten said. His friendly rival agreed.
(Cue "Invader" by Jim Johnston)
After he said that, the same intro reappeared on screen, with the logo of the series, that everyone was familiar of.
Wiz: Street Fighter. Mortal Kombat. Kings of the fighting genre.
"This fight is gonna feature martial artists!? Now, that's my kind of fighting!" Goku said, excited.
"Reminds me of the old days of us competing in the World Martial Arts Tournament," Krillin said, looking at his best friend.
Wiz: And every good fighter needs awesome villains.
"The combatants are evil!? That's something you don't see everyday," Goku said, a bit surprised.
Boomstick: Like Akuma, the ultimate badass in martial arts.
"Well, I wouldn't say 'ultimate'," Gohan said, as he smiled at his father.
Wiz: And Shang Tsung, the sorcerous vanguard of doom.
"Sorcerous? Does that mean he uses magic?" Chaoztsu asked.
"I guess so," Tien said. Where's Fortunteller Baba when you need her?, he thought.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find who would win a Death Battle.
Akuma
The next thing the Z Fighters see was a man with red hair. He was in a dark blue Gi, with an odd looking symbol on the back. He was also wearing a pair of sandals.
This man was Akuma.
(Cue Street Fighter IV Soundtrack)
"Wait, isn't he wearing the same symbol that we saw in the preview?" Puar wondered.
"Guess we now know one of his moves... I think," Goku said.
"Don't be so sure, Goku," Piccolo said.
Wiz: Akuma; master of the fist. Known as Gouki in Japan, he is a living weapon, ten times stronger than nearly every other Street Fighter.
"Ten times stronger!? Man, Akuma is really strong. If he ever existed, I would've loved to fight him," Goku said.
"But, he's evil, Dad," Gohan said.
"Yah.., but still, it would be pretty exciting, though," Goku replied.
Boomstick: Plus, he looks freaking awesome. I totally want me some red, glowing eyes.
The next thing they saw was Akuma standing in the darkness, with his eyes glowing in the dark. This made everyone, except Vegeta and Piccolo, shiver.
"I do not want red, glowing eyes," Trunks said.
"Me neither," Goten agreed.
GOU HADOKEN:
- Total Control - (Reminded the Z Fighters of the full control of their Ki.)
- Can Fire Multiple at Once
Wiz: Akuma has dozens of powerful special attacks including the Gou Hadoken, a powerful blast with precision control.
"Is Akuma using Ki? Because the Gou Hadoken really looks like a Ki Blast," Goku said, as he look at the orange blast.
"You may be right. But, I think it looks like an underage version of a Kamehameha," Krillin pointed out.
SHINKU-HADOKEN:
- Can be Charged
- Usable in Midair [Zanku Hadoken]
Wiz: He can even use the almighty Shinku-Hadoken, which is, basically, a giant fireball of death.
"Cool!" Goten and Trunks shouted.
"I now wonder if I could do a Hadoken with my Ki," Goku said, in his famous thinking pose, "I might actually try that tomorrow."
"That... actually could happen," Bulma thought about it. She then looked at her husband. "What do you think, honey?"
"...Well, if it doesn't blow up in your hands, then fine," Vegeta hesitantly agreed.
"Oh, sweet!" Goku threw his hands up in the air. Recreating the Hadoken is already getting me excited!, he thought.
Boomstick: Man, if I ever fire a Hadoken in real life, I'm gonna' die happy.
Everyone chuckled at Boomstick's statement.
"Okay, that was funny," Oolong said.
SPECIAL MOVES AND ATTACKS:
- Gou Shoryuken
- - "Dragon Fist" - ("Wait a minute, that's my move!" Goku shouted, dumbstruck that one of Akuma's special attacks had the same name as his most powerful attack.)
- - "Air Slashing"
- Hurricane Kick - ("Is he doing that in midair?" Roshi said, as he looked at the current scene. Interesting, he thought.)
- Teleport
- Hyakki Shuu
- - "Demon Flip"
Wiz: Akuma also uses the Shoryuken uppercut, a teleport ability, a swift multi-striking hurricane kick, and the Hyakkishu, A.K.A the Demon Flip.
"He can also do Instant Transmission!?" Goku widen his eyes.
"I don't think teleportation and Instant Transmission is exactly the same thing, Dad," Gohan sweat dropped.
SUPER ARTS:
- Shinku-Hadoken - ("Wait a minute,.. didn't we already saw that move?" No. 18 asked. Everyone nodded. "Huh,.. weird.")
- Kongo Kokuretsu Zan
Boomstick: Also, Akuma's got tons of different Super Arts, but two really stand out. First there's the "Kongo... Kokuretsu Za..." how do you say that?
Wiz: No idea.
"But, you almost got it right! Why do you have to stop it right there!?" Videl shouted. Everyone looked at her, making her blush in embarrassment. I hate it when they do that, she thought, referencing to Boomstick's line, as Gohan put a hand around her shoulder.
Boomstick: Well, I'm pretty sure that's Japanese for "Fuck You Up!"-
"Okay, that's it!" Chichi grabbed the remote from the Bulma and abruptly paused the episode, surprising everyone.
"Hey!" Goten and Trunks shouted.
"Chichi, what are you doing?" Goku asked his wife, wondering what was going on.
"I am not just gonna stand here and let our children hear any of this foul language!" Chichi said, while crossing her arms.
"But, Gohan's an adult, now. He's already used to hearing foul words,... whenever he's in the city," Goku said, trying to make a point, as he looked at his oldest son.
"Yah, what about Goten!? We can't let him hear any of this cursing! It'll ruin his innocence," Chichi argued, as she looked at her youngest son.
"But Mom, I'm not a little kid, anymore! I should be watching shows like this!" Goten complained.
"Well, I don't care! We are not watching this!" Chichi said, looking away from everyone.
Huuuuuuuueehh uuuuuuuuuuhg
The Z Fighters looked at Bulma, as she stood up from her seat and looked at her friend. "Chichi, your my friend, right?" she asked her.
"Yes," Chichi nodded.
"And you know we're both mothers, right?" Bulma asked again.
Chichi lowered her eyebrows, and hesitantly said, "...Yes. Where are you getting at?"
This might get awkward, all the men thought at the same time.
Should I be here, right now?, Trunks and Goten thought.
Bulma heavily sighed again. She then said, "Chichi, look,.. my son is almost 13. And well, when your kid turns 13, they become a teenager."
"Yah, I can understand when a kid turns 13," Chichi dumbfounded.
"No, wait, hear me out first," Bulma waved her hands a bit, before continuing, "When your kid turns 13, they take up more responsibility. But when they're 12, they will be in the 'building blocks' stage. And, during that time, it means they're growing up... And, they'll have to go through 'rough' times."
"But, my son is 10," Chichi stated.
"Yes, but, what I'm getting at here is that, Trunks and Goten had already been 'rough' times. You do remember what happen five years ago, right?" Bulma said, not wanting to mention that Buu was standing next to them.
Chichi understood her comment, and nodded.
"I know you care about Goten. But, he will have to face more 'rough' times. He will have to understand the harsh reality. But, that doesn't mean your gonna lose him, forever," Bulma gently said. She then reached out towards her friend. "So, why not give this show a try, and then we can move on from there?"
Chichi looked at Bulma's hand, knowing that she wanted the remote back. She was hesitant. Bulma was right about one thing: she really does care about Goten. But, she was also right about another thing: the harsh reality always gets to them... but it doesn't control them. Society isn't pure, yes. And a human being isn't pure, as well... but they're not corrupt, either. People do bad things and say bad things, and they also do good things and say good things. It's the parent's job to teach their kid from right and wrong, and Chichi knew that she did a fine damn job with her kids, and she knew that Bulma did a good job, as well. So, maybe, just maybe, this show won't hurt them. But it might teach them, too.
Making up her mind, Chichi slowly gave Bulma the remote. "Okay, you win," Chichi accepted. "But, if things get to gory, I'm walking out."
"You know you don't have to do that," Bulma said.
Chichi sighed, and gently smiled, "I know."
Everyone else show sympathy towards the two, even Vegeta; just a little bit, but deep down he knew his wife was right. Everyone then softly clapped for Bulma's kind words. "That was really nice of you, Bulma," Goku smiled.
Goten and Trunks were actually comfortable with the results, even though they still felt a bit weird.
"Thanks," Bulma smiled back, "Now, lets resume the episode." She then hit 'play'.
Boomstick: -'cause basically, Akuma punches the ground and things explode.
The Z Fighters then see Akuma raising his hand up; natural energy fusing, all around him, within his hand, while in front of his opponent. A moment later, he then uses that energy and slams his fist down to the ground, creating a massive explosion, while also knocking his opponent out.
Announcer: K.O.
"That was awesome!" Goten and Trunks shouted.
"It looks a bit similar to creating the Spirit Bomb. I'm definitely gonna try this, tomorrow, as well!" Goku said.
Boomstick: He shattered a whole freaking island just by punching it. Holy shit!
"Wait, WHAT!?" everyone shouted.
"That's incredible! He could have the same power level of a Super Saiyan!" Goku imagined.
"You may be right about that," Vegeta whispered, agreeing with his rival.
Wiz: But that's not the deadliest move up his nonexistent sleeve.
Then Z Fighters then see Akuma moving up towards a man in a pink Gi. Then suddenly, the screen darkens; a flurry of rapid quick punches, in a purple flame, are shown. Once the move ends, the man in the pink Gi is laying on the ground, unconscious, while Akuma is standing with his back turned and the symbol, that is seen on the back of Akuma's Gi, is shown burning brightly in the middle of the screen.
The Z Fighter were left speechless.
SHUN GOKU SATSU: - ("Hey dad, look. That move has your name," Gohan pointed out.)
- Also known as "The Raging Demon"
- Literally Translates "Instant Hell Murder"
Wiz: The Shun Goku Satsu, also known as the Raging Demon, literally means "Instant Hell Murder".
"Wait, does that mean Akuma killed that person!?" Puar asked.
"I'm afraid so," Roshi answered, stroking his beard.
Boomstick: Man, I'm going to totally name my first kid that!
"If I have anymore kids, then I'm not gonna named him or her 'Instant Hell Murder'," Bulma said.
"Same here," Chichi and No. 18 agreed.
Boomstick: The Raging Demon at full power is fatal, this guy's a freaking onslaught of pain!
"So wait, did he use the Raging Demon on that guy, at full power?" Oolong asked.
"I'm not sure," Yamcha answered.
Wiz: That's right, Boomstick. Akuma lives for one thing, and one thing only: fighting.
"Yosh! This guy is totally like me!" Goku said.
"You don't fight all the time, Dad," Gohan pointed out.
"Yah, but, I look forward to it," Goku replied.
Wiz: He travels the world day and night searching for worthy opponents. He's an unstoppable human Holocaust, losing only once to his brother Gouken,-
The Z Fighters then see a man with a grey beard. He has no shirt, but is wearing a pair of white pants. He also had bandages wrapped around his arms. The Z Fighters believed that this man was Gouken.
Wiz: -but after a brutal rematch...
But what they saw next was horrifying. They saw Gouken laying by the side of a wall; badly bruised and bloodied. Above him was Akuma's symbol, painted with his own brother's blood.
"Oh my god!" Videl shouted, covering her mouth with her hands.
"Akuma killed his own brother!? Now that is something I would never do!" Goku said, angrily looking at the screen.
"To be honest, for a moment I felt a connection between him and Raditz," Piccolo said, remembering the days when Goku discovered his true heritage.
"Yah, nobody's gonna remember that guy," Gohan growled, remembering the abuse his uncle put on him.
"Who's Raditz?" No. 18 asked.
"It's a long story," everyone that was there at the time, replied.
Boomstick: Oh, hey look he can finger paint.
Everyone was silent for a moment when Boomstick said that.
.
.
.
.
.
"Dude... seriously? That is not funny," Trunks said, shaking his head. The others, for once, agreed with him.
Wiz: It was rumored that Akuma sacrificed his soul to a demon in exchange for the strength to defeat Gouken, but this has been declared non-canon.
"Glad it was, because Akuma would've been a lot deadlier and stronger than he was before," Mr. Satan said.
"I wouldn't like that," Launch agreed.
Boomstick: Akuma's got one major problem, though. His stamina is absolutely pathetic. He can dish out the pain, but he sure can't take it.
"So, in other words, he has a strong offense, but a weak defense. That's good to know," Bulma determined. Everyone agreed. If Akuma ever existed, the Z Fighters would know where to hit him. But, they'll still have to try to not get hit by him.
Wiz: It's crucial for Akuma to have total control over the fight. He takes an extremely offensive approach. Always moving, always attacking.
Boomstick: Yah, screw defense! Give me more ways to hurt people!
"But, you won't get to see what your opponent can do! Man, this guy isn't fair at all!" Goku said, a bit annoyed in Akuma's approach in fighting.
Akuma: I am Akuma, and I will teach you the meaning of pain!
And thus ended Akuma's analysis.
"Okay guys, what do you think of Akuma?" Bulma asked everyone in the room.
"I literally like his Gou Hadoken and Kongo Kokuretsu Zan! I am still willing to try them out tomorrow!" Goku said, excited of Akuma's techniques. He then put on a serious look. "But still, I don't like the way he treated his brother."
"That still reminds me of Raditz," Gohan growled.
"I think Akuma is a pain in the ass," Vegeta said. "He doesn't know the true meaning of fighting."
The others agreed with them. While everybody liked Akuma's skills and abilities, they didn't like his 'brutal tactics' against his own brother. Piccolo and Vegeta got the worst out of him.
"I guess no one here likes him specifically, correct?" Bulma asked.
"Yes," everyone nodded back.
"Alright, lets continue the episode," Bulma pressed 'play'.
Shang Tsung
What the Z Fighters first saw for the Akuma's opponent was very strange. There were two images of the combatant.
The first image showed a man wearing a purple robe, with black an white striped pattern close to the middle. Underneath was a brown inner shirt. The man was really old; having white hair and wrinkled skin.
For a second there, that almost looks like me, Roshi thought, not admitting that he looked that old.
The second image showed the same man, but this time he looked young; having black hair and smooth skin.
This man was Shang Tsung.
"That's weird. Why does he looked young in one picture, and in the other very old?" Goku raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe it has something to do with his abilities?" Bulma guessed.
"Or maybe his past?" Yamcha guessed, too.
(Cue Mortal Kombat Trilogy Soundtrack)
Wiz: Shang Tsung is the cunning sorcerer from Outworld, and scheming pawn of Shao Kahn. He's extremely adapt in magic and a well-rounded fighter.
"He uses magic?" Goten said.
"If Fortuneteller Baba was here, she would've understood this," Oolong said.
FLAMING SKULLS:
- Can attack in Rounds of One, Two, or Three
- Fire Damage
- Swift and Deadly
Boomstick: This guy can shoot flaming skulls, which is totally awesome, but, where the heck does he keep them? I mean seriously, how many skulls can a person carry around with them?
"I think he just creates them with his magic," Trunks answered Boomstick's question.
"Besides that, the way he shoots them is really similar to firing a Kamehameha," Krillin said, as he looked closely at the current scene.
HOT ESCAPE:
- Teleport Ability - ("This guy can also teleport?" Chaoztsu asked.)
- Extremely Fast
- Wide Range
- Burns Victims when Appearing Close Enough
Wiz: Tsung can teleport around the battlefield with the special move called "Hot Escape".
Boomstick: Wah! Sucker punch, bitch!
"To sum up your question Chaoztsu, I think so. But both combatants use teleportation very differently," Gohan explained.
I really hope this language doesn't affect the kids, Chichi thought, referring to Boomstick's foul words.
MORPHING:
- Can Change into Anyone he Knows
- Copies Abilities and Stats of Subject
- Enables Hundreds of New Strategies
Wiz: He can morph into whomever he wants, giving him tons of different skill sets, it's like fighting a hundred different foes combined into one.
Wiz' statement created a strange atmosphere within the room. Some of the Z Fighters even look at each other. To think a ability would bring betrayal and ruin within the group...
"Okay, before anyone says anything, I just want to point this out. All of this is not real. So, if anyone thinks that one of us is Shang Tsung then you are obviously wrong," Bulma stated.
"Or completely stupid," Vegeta added. Everyone nodded in agreement, and decided to ignore the weirdness.
Boomstick: Man, I wish I could morph into anybody I wanted. I can have some fun with that!
"Yah you would, pervert," Videl muttered, who figured out that Boomstick was another one of those creeps.
STRAIGHT SWORD:
- About 3 Feet Long
- Secretly Hidden
- Of Unknown Make
- Prefers Fists and Magic over Swordplay
Boomstick: He also has a razor sharp Straight Sword, though he usually keeps it hidden for a surprise attack.
"Wait a minute, isn't this suppose to be a martial arts fight? Because, that's just cheating!" Goku shouted.
"Well, if it were the World Martial Arts Tournament, then yes that would be cheating. But this is a Death Battle, Goku," Krillin explained.
"I have a feeling that sword must've meant something," Yamcha guessed.
Wiz: Shang Tsung possesses one other strange, but useful ability. Long ago, when he was caught cheating in the Mortal Kombat Tournament, he was cursed, by the Elder Gods, to rapidly age until an untimely death.
"I knew that sword had to do something with him!" Yamcha said.
"Still, I know he was cheating, but he didn't have to get a punishment like that," Tien said.
Wiz: The only way to prevent this fate is to absorb the souls of his victims.
"WAIT, WHAT!?" The Z Fighters shouted.
They then saw Shang Tsung absorbing the soul, tinted in a green color, of his combatant. As a result of this, his opponent was turn into a husk.
The Z Fighters were left speechless.
"Oh my god! That's much worse than Akuma killing his own brother!" Goku shouted.
"No wonder the combatants, in this fight, are evil," Piccolo stated, glaring at the screen.
SOUL STEAL:
- Sustains Youth
- Restores Energy and Health
- Gains Opponent's Memories and Skills
- Uses Skills for Morphs
Boomstick: He can literally eat your soul. Your soul! Not only can this heal him, but he gets the memories of the souls he devoured.
"That's really disturbing," No. 18 said.
I'm actually now glad that Babidi's dead, Mr. Satan thought.
Wiz: This helps him copy the move sets of other Fighters when he morphs.
Boomstick: So really, his curse became his deadliest weapon. Good punishment there, gods.
"For once, I agree with him," Vegeta said.
"Yah. They should've punished him with something else," Trunks agreed with his father.
Wiz: Shang Tsung has lived and fought for over a thousand years.
"A thousand years!? He's even older than Master Roshi!" Goku said.
"Hey! I'm not that old!" Roshi said.
"Don't forget, he's only a thousand years old because of him absorbing other souls," Piccolo stated.
"Yah. Shang Tsung should be dead, right now," Goten agreed.
Wiz: His sorcery, powers, and brutal Fatalities are rivaled by few, and he's claimed the title of grand champion of Mortal Kombat several times, almost bringing about the winning streak necessary to allow Shao Kahn to invade Earthrealm, key word being "almost".
Boomstick: Yeah, unfortunately for Shang Tsung, he pretty much sucks at actually accomplishing his goals. He's super powerful, but like most villains, he can never get around some goody-two-shoes getting in the way of global take-over.
The Z Fighters then saw Shang Tsung getting beaten by a man with black hair; wearing a red headband and a red and black striped pair of pants.
"Well, as the saying goes, luck always runs out," Oolong said.
"And him losing his luck was really in a good spot. Can anyone imagine what would happen if his master invaded Earthrealm?" Gohan sarcastically asked.
Wiz: His only notable victories have included treachery and deceit. But, keep in mind, Tsung's not fighting any ordinary meat-heads. He's fighting demons, sorcerers, and gods, and even in defeat, he somehow keeps coming back more lethal than ever.
Shang Tsung: You... will... die!
And thus ended Shang Tsung's analysis.
"You know, I shouldn't really say this again, but I think you already know what it is," Bulma said. The others quickly caught on to what she meant and discussed about Shang Tsung.
"I still think Shang Tsung's actions are a lot worse than Akuma's," Goku said.
"I agree. Him absorbing souls is very scary," Puar said.
"I still like his Hot Escape. It's really cool," Trunks said.
"I do admit,.. Shang Tsung's ability of copying someone's skills gives me a strange feeling," Vegeta lowered his eyebrows, not knowing that he's predicting future events. (AN: *cough* Goku Black *cough*)
Everyone else had other thoughts. Yamcha still thought that Tsung's Straight Sword is still cheating and it shouldn't be allowed in the Death Battle. Roshi still wouldn't admit the elderly connection between him and Shang Tsung. The others thought that this was a guy you shouldn't mess with. Thankfully, they all knew he didn't existed.
Wiz: All right, the combatants are set! But, before we end this debate, I need some cash to buy more rats for genetic testing.
Boomstick/(Everybody): What?
Wiz: From Gamefly.
I'm now pretty sure Wiz is a mad scientist, Videl thought.
"I'm not sure if I should say who should win, since both combatants are evil. But, if I gotta choose, I would say that Akuma is going to win," Goku said, bringing some confusion on his friends.
"Hmph, the worse loses first, as people say it," Vegeta agreed.
"To be honest, I don't know who's gonna win. I mean, if Shang Tsung would be able to absorb enough of Akuma's soul, then maybe he could copy his abilities. But even with his moves, Akuma is going to be a very difficult opponent for Tsung," Gohan theorized.
"Akuma, even though I don't like him for killing his brother," Piccolo said.
Goten, Trunks, Yamcha, Tien, Puar, Chaoztsu, and Oolong voted for Akuma. Launch, Videl, Mr. Satan, and Buu didn't even want to decide the winner, this time. Bulma joined in with Gohan, who was also indecisive.
Just as everyone decided their vote, the ad reached its conclusion.
Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!
The first thing the Z Fighters saw was Akuma, walking up on the stage. Then, suddenly, Shang Tsung appears behind him from his Hot Escape technique. Akuma notices him and jumps away to the other side of the stage.
"Well, that was a quick encounter," Krillin said, as everyone else looked closely for the fight to begin.
FIGHT!
Shang Tsung fires off a Flaming Skull, but Akuma dodges by jumping into the air. In the air, Akuma fires off two Gou Hadokens. Tsung notices them and dodges both of them, but as dodges Akuma moves in for the strike.
Akuma first strikes Shang Tsung with his Hyakki Shuu, knocking his opponent off balance. Akuma quickly then pummels Tsung with his Hurricane Kick, before quickly upper cutting Shang Tsung with the Shoryuken; sending him up to the air.
"Hot damn! No wonder Akuma is always on the offensive!" Yamcha shouted.
"That makes this fight even more exciting!" Goku said.
In the air, Akuma then strikes Shang Tsung with another Hurricane Kick, followed by elbowing him, then finally hitting Tsung with a Shinku-Hadoken; resulting in a big explosion, while also sending Shang Tsung crashing down to the ground.
"Looks like Akuma got this in the bag!" Tien grinned.
Akuma lands, walks up to him, and prepares to deliver to finishing blow. But Shang Tsung was not done, yet. Before Akuma could deliver the blow, Shang Tsung morphs into a yellow and black Ninja; with a yellow mask covering his mouth. This, somehow, stops Akuma from killing him.
The Z Fighters were confused by this. "Wait, why did Akuma stop? He could've ended the fight, right there!" Trunks complained.
"I think I know why," Piccolo began, as everyone else looked at him, "Do you remember when Wiz said that Akuma looks for worthy opponents? Well, I think when Shang Tsung morphed, Akuma saw another opportunity with his new opponent. If he killed Tsung right then and there, then that opportunity would've been wasted."
"Hmm, good point, Piccolo," Goku agreed.
As they finished, Shang Tsung was recovered and got back up to his feet.
Shang Tsung (as Scorpion): COME HERE!
Shang Tsung fires off a rope dart at Akuma, who was completely caught off guard. The rope dart lands a directly hit, drawing blood from Akuma, as he is then pulls him towards Tsung. As Akuma nears him, Tsung uppercuts him.
But, as this happens, some guy in a purple shirt pops up in the lower left corner of the screen.
Dan Forden: Toasty!
"What the hell!? Who the hell was that guy!?" Vegeta shouted, dumbstruck.
"I think we should ignore that, right now...," Bulma slowly replied, also weirded out. Everyone else slowly agreed, and continued watching the fight.
Before Akuma can touch the ground, Shang Tsung morphs back to his normal body and fires off three Flaming Skulls from the ground, striking Akuma in mid-air. But, with enough distance, Akuma gets behind Tsung, grabs him, and throws him to the other side of the stage. He then teleports to the other side, and kicks Shang Tsung, as he lands near him. But, despite the disadvantage, Tsung manages to block the kick.
Akuma then fires off a Gou Hadoken, but Shang Tsung dodges by using his Hot Escape technique. Tsung then reappears behind Akuma, and slashes him with his Straight Sowrd.
"I'm beginning to wonder why you hate that sword, Yamcha," Puar sarcastically said.
With Akuma stunned, Shang Tsung grabs by the neck and begins to absorb his soul.
"Uh oh," Goten said.
"Looks like Shang Tsung might win this one," Chaoztsu said, lowering his eyebrows.
But Akuma wasn't done, yet.
Before the sorcerer could turn him into a husk, Akuma breaks the grip and lands a Hurricane Kick on him. He then charges up his Kongo Kokuretsu Zan and slams his fist to the ground, creating a massive shockwave and sending Shang Tsung far away. Akuma then teleports to where Tsung should land and intercepts him with a kick. He then strikes him with a barrage of punches and kicks, before tossing Shang Tsung to the other side.
Shang Tsung quickly gets back up and does the unthinkable. He morphs into a man with red hair. He was in a dark blue Gi, with an odd looking symbol on the back. He was also wearing a pair of sandals.
Shang Tsung has morphed into Akuma.
"Looks like Shang Tsung had enough of Akuma's soul to copy his skills," No. 18 said.
"This is gonna be close," Goku said.
The two Akumas stared at one another, as the music in the background began to become more intense.
The two Akumas then leaped in slow motion, making everyone to hold on to their seats.
Flurries of punches and kicks were thrown between the two combatants, as both tried to overpower one another. But suddenly, at the right moment, the fake Akuma successfully lands an elbow on his counterpart, sending the real Akuma to the ground.
As the fake Akuma lands, he then charges up a Kongo Kokurestu Zan on his counterpart.
But before he could...
Akuma: SHUN GOKU SATSU!
The screen darkens. A flurry of punches in a purple flame was seen. As the moves ends, Akuma is seen standing with his back turned, while his symbol was shown lighting up the screen, as Shang Tsung laid dead on the floor.
K.O.!
The souls that Shang Tsung devoured are then set free from his body.
"Holy crap...," Mr. Satan whispered.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!" Goten and Trunks shouted.
"I have to admit, that fight was cool," Videl said. Piccolo and Vegeta nodded in agreement.
"Well, lets see how Akuma won," Bulma said.
Boomstick: Oh man, that was too close!
Wiz: No kidding, Boomstick! Akuma's raw power and speed pressed a distinct advantage early on. But Tsung's own cleverness and wide array of skills quickly even the odds.
Boomstick: It looked like Akuma had the whole thing wrapped up, but Tsung's morphing trick saved his ass.
"Hmph, so I was right," Piccolo grinned.
Wiz: Akuma's pride for battle almost cost him his life, as he stopped to see if his new face was worth a challenge.
Boomstick: After switching up strategies, Tsung managed to steal enough of Akuma's soul for some extra health and new abilities.
Wiz: But, it wasn't enough. In the end Akuma's skills as a fighter proved unmatched.
"So, in other words, Akuma's strength and abilities were more powerful than Shang Tsung's," Gohan figured out.
"That seems about it," Bulma nodded in agreement.
I know he doesn't exists. But, if he did, I would really love to fight him!, Goku thought.
Boomstick: I mean, Tsung loses to Liu Kang all the time, and compared to Akuma, Liu Kang's the nicest guy in the world. There was no way he could take Akuma's constant punishment.
Wiz: As Tsung isn't used to winning anything on his own, he wasn't perfect on delivering the final blow, leaving him wide open for the experienced Akuma to unleash his greatest weapon.
Boomstick: The Raging Demon of Instant-Hell-Murder-Awesomeness!
"YEAH!" Goten and Trunks cheered.
Wiz: And so Shang Tsung fell once again releasing his devoured souls, again.
Boomstick: Looks like Tsung's all souled out! Ha ha, get it, Wiz?
"Nope," the Z Fighters all said.
Wiz: The winner is Akuma.
And thus ended the episode.
"Oh my god, that fight was incredible," Trunks said.
"To be honest, that fight was a lot better than the last one," No. 18 admitted.
"Hmph. You're probably right," Vegeta agreed.
"I think the fights are gonna get better throughout the series," Yamcha stated.
"That makes me even more excited!" Goku shouted.
"Lets see who's next," Bulma said, as everyone looked back at the screen.
Boomstick: Next Time on DEATH BATTLE!
The music was composed of an angelic choir. The contestant was a female with long black hair. It showed her putting on a red, white, and blue skin tight outfit, with a pair of metal bracelets on her wrists and a golden tiara on her forehead. As the woman was putting on her tiara, the screen darkens and an unknown female voice was heard in the background.
?: Goodnight, sugar.
The voice was then followed by a sound of a kick.

"If you say anything," Chichi warned Oolong and Roshi, as she hold a frying pan. The two remained quiet.

"Yo, it's me, Goku! That fight was epic! I hope the next fight can top this one!"

"Huh!? The combatants are female, this time!? I wonder how Chichi would feel..."

"And they're both superheroes!? I don't read comics, but I think Goten and Trunks does. Next time on Z Fighters, "The Female Superhero Genre! Rogue vs. Wonder Woman!""
"Don't miss it!"
Hey guys! I'm back! And there's going to be a lot more battles to come!
