Disclaimer: The character of Torth is from Sonic Highschool: Genesis, which belongs to Dark Sorm on this very website. Go check it out. It's a little goofy at times but it's loads of fun.
Wiz: Sonic OCs, a barren wasteland that has produced almost as many Mary Sues and Gary Stues as the MLP fandom. Boomstick: But none are as outrageous as these two. And I mean fucking none of them. Wiz: Nazo, evil chaos energy incarnate. Boomstick: And Torth, the Eye of Chaos. Wiz: We've gone over the power and feats of Nazo before, and there has been no change to his powers, so as a result this analysis will focus specifically on Torth. Boomstick: There's a lot to cover. Wiz: My name is Wiz and that's Boomstick and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and abilities to see who would win a Death Battle.
History:
Boomstick: Hold onto your brains people, you're about to go for a ride. Wiz: One day, in the world of Sonic Highschool Genesis- Boomstick: I already have a bad feeling about this. Wiz: Torth stepped onto the scene. To those who aren't looking for anything out of the ordinary, Torth would appear to be any other anthro hedgehog with brown fur. Boomstick: But those that look a little closer will start to notice the concealed bat wings, the fox teeth, the overly muscled legs, the dreadlocks, the gemstones wedged in his palms, and the too long tail.
Wiz: You see, from what we can gather, Torth is the subject of a G.U.N. Experiment, which spliced the DNA of several different species to great a creature that could handle more chaos energy than any other. Boomstick: The exact reason they wanted to do this aside from just for shits and giggles in unknown, but it's believed he was created as a fail-safe in case the other chaos charged beings like Sonic, Knuckles, or Shadow turned on the people they were supposed to protect.
Wiz: Torth, not wanting to be some living weapon, convinced the agency to allow him to go to a normal high school so he could attempt a normal life. Boomstick: Unfortunately this high-school also had Sonic the hedgehog, Rouge the bat, and a slew of other OCs attending, so his dreams of normalcy were pretty much doomed from the start. Luckily, he had all kinds of powers for when the going got tough.
Abilities:
Wiz: Torth's abilities can be classified into three levels of power. Boomstick: At level one he can use the Sonic fandom's iconic spindash ability, as well as Flash step, an ability that lets him move faster than the eye or security camera can track for only a few moments, Shield, which does exactly what you think it does, Chaos Bolt, a slightly weaker variant of Shadow's chaos spears, Aura, which increases physical capability and chaos capabilities at the cost of a ton of chaos energy, Chaos Orb, an exploding ball of chaos energy, Chaos Rage, which uses the collision between two Chaos orbs to send out seven chaos bolts that lock onto the target, and of course, Chaos Control for giving the middle finger to physics with teleporting and other reality warping features if more energy is poured in.
Wiz: At level two Torth can access Chaos Flow, which drastically increases his speed and reaction time at the expense of a large amount of chaos energy, Kinetic Smash, which launches a wall of highly pressurized air at foes, Chaos Barrage, which launches a hail of energy bolts from Torth's hands in a 90 degree cone, and Chaos Healing, which uses chaos energy to heal wounds rapidly, but cannot heal fatal wounds.
Boomstick: Finally there's level three, which gives him access to Chaos Sync, essentially a GPS for determining the exact location a chaos ability or any device using chaos energy is used, Chaos Bombardment, a massive blast of energy that can level multiple skyscrapers and rip through tank plating like nothing, and last but not least, Chaos Nova, which exhausts Torth's entire supply of chaos energy to annihilate anything and everything in the immediate area. Based on how much energy he's got left it can rage from a few feet around him to the length of an entire island. Sure using it knocks him out and leaves him entirely drained of all energy, but with everything around him dead and vaporized, I don't think that's much of a problem.
Wiz: But don't let his impressive arsenal fool you. Torth has a fatal weakness that all of his abilities are tied to. Boomstick: Yeah, notice how we've been using the word 'chaos energy' a lot? Well, Torth uses this energy to pull off all his attacks. And if he runs out of chaos energy, he's pretty much mortal. Wiz: Aside from that Torth only has immediate access to his level one abilities, needing a chaos emerald to unlock level two and two chaos emeralds to unlock level three. Boomstick: On the plus side, Torth can refuel himself with the chaos emeralds, which are like self recharging batteries, and absorb even more from the area around him. Wiz: Torth has never wielded more than two chaos emeralds, and not just by chance, by choice. As powerful as Torth is, he seems almost afraid of his own power, rarely letting himself go all out for fear of harming himself and those he cares about. Boomstick: That said, even in base form he's almost as hard to kill as Wolverine thanks to his chaos crystal bones.
Bones:
Wiz: Torth's bones are made of a strange crystal like substance which is believed to actually be chaos energy in solid form, like the weaker chaos emeralds seen in the Sonic Underground series. Boomstick: He can fall face first from the top of a fifty story building without a single bone even cracking. And bleeding out isn't a problem either since his blood is black, and straight up refuses to leave his body unless it's forced out by a strong enough burst of energy. And this isn't even his final form! Wiz: That's right, when all else fails, Torth can call upon the greatest weapon in his arsenal: the Eye of Chaos.
The Eye of Chaos:
Wiz: In trying to create a chaos energy attuned creature, G.U.N. went a bit too far, and Torth became permanently linked to the Chaos Force, moreso even than Shadow. Because of this, Torth can actually absorb and channel raw, unfiltered chaos energy. The normal chaos energy Torth absorbs is tame and calm enough to be used safety even by mortals, but the raw, pure chaos energy is uncontrollable, unpredictable, and extremely deadly. Boomstick: While in Eye of Chaos mode Torth's, well, everything increases several times over and only keeps rising in power the longer he stays in the form. To top it off, he never runs out of chaos energy in this form since he's literally tapping into the stuff. Wiz: The drawback is that the longer he's in this form, the more unstable he becomes, turning violent and vicious towards everyone and everything. Being naturally timid and reserved, Torth's mind will end up war with his body, making him indecisive and easily confused. What's more, the force of the raw chaos energy rips his body apart while he uses it, and can even kill him if he uses it too long. Boomstick: But that's a small price to pay when you can snap your fingers and make there be no more anything.
"Access file- First name:Torth. Last name:? Age:? Threat level: Unlimited."
Wiz: Alright the combatants are set, now it's time to end this debate. Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!
Nazo stood with all seven chaos emeralds around him. All he needed to do was absorb their dark power and he'd be strong enough to shatter the Master Emerald once and for all. He raised his hands to a start drawing energy...and was drop kicked off of the Master Emerald Shrine by a flying hedgehog.
"What is the meaning of this!?" Nazo questioned. Torth landed in front of him. "I don't know how you got passed the guardian of this place, but either way, you'll need to leave now," Torth said, "If you refuse, I'm afraid we'll have an issue."
Nazo scoffed, and began laughing, "Oh will I? Is the abomination going to hurt me? How terrifying. I don't know what you are freak, but since you amuse me, I'll give you a single chance to walk away."
Torth smirked, "Abomination? You're one to talk." Nazo glared, "You've made your choice then. Perhaps you'll at least die with some dignity then."
FIGHT!
Torth curled up and fired himself at Nazo with a spindash, which was immediately deflected. Nazo backhanded Torth back and fired a bolt of energy. Torth crossed his arms, using Shield to block the attack.
Torth fired three chaos bolts. Nazo didn't bother dodging, and allowed all three attacks to hit him at once. When the smoke cloud faded, the small bloody wounds caused by the attack faded in seconds as his body healed.
Torth tensed at this, realizing that this opponent had a healing factor of some kind. Nazo used chaos control, appearing behind Torth and blasting him from behind. Torth disappeared from the spot with Flash step and fired a chaos orb, followed by two more that collided to fire chaos rage.
The orb missed as Nazo flew up, but the seven bolts of chaos rage followed him up into the air. Nazo tried to outrun or outmaneuver the attack, but they followed Nazo until he landed and fired a blast of energy that destroyed the attack.
Nazo turned to mock Torth, only to get punched in the gut by Torth, who had activated Aura. Nazo, not having expected the strike, Nazo was momentarily stunned by it, which gave Torth the time to strike again, and again, and again, striking several times rapid fire, hitting Nazo repeatedly all across his body. He ended the combo attack with an uppercut that sent Nazo into the air.
Torth used chaos control to appear above Nazo and fire several chaos orbs rapid fire to shoot off three chaos rages, all of which hit Nazo directly and launched him back into the ground.
Torth was panting when he landed in front of the smoking crater. "Sorry about that, but you're too dangerous for your own good."
"Heh, heh, heh." Nazo stood from the crater. His entire body was bloody one second...then completely healed the next. "W-what!? How did you-" Torth was cut off by a punch to the face that sent him spiraling into the Chaos Emerald Shrine, which cracked under the force of the collision.
Nazo chuckled, "Sorry to inform you, abomination, but you're outmatched." "We'll..see.." Torth reached out, grabbing the nearest chaos emerald. The air around him began to crackle with energy as the chaos energy flowed into him, refueling his chaos energy supply.
"Chaos flow!" Torth shouted, moving so fast he seemed to disappear. "What is-" Torth collided with Nazo before he could even finish the sentence. With his speed and power increased, Torth struck Nazo with a similar flurry of blows as before, now adding chaos barrage, which send Nazo into the air.
Torth fired kinetic smash, which Nazo blocked, only to be hit by a flying kick and chaos barrage that sent him careening down to the ground. Nazo hadn't even gotten to his feet when Torth was on him again, his speed high enough for him to strike Nazo with physical and chaos attacks at the same time.
'He's moving too fast, I can't heal quick enough.' Nazo though, using chaos control to slow time, only for Torth to do the same and continue his onslaught. Nazo was a bloody mess when he'd finally had enough. He fired a black of energy that damaged both Torth and himself, sending them both back.
"You're stronger than you appear, I'll give you that much." Nazo said as his body began to heal, "You've earned a prize. So before you perish, I'll allow you to witness a perfect being!"
Nazo held put his hands, drawing in the malicious energy from all seven chaos energy, even the one Torth was using. The energy flowed into him, and he began to glow. His fur became blood red, his quills became sharper, and his whole body became more powerful and intimidating.
"Behold, Perfect Nazo!" Nazo exclaimed with a smirk. Torth rushed him with a spin dash, which Nazo stopped with only the palm of his hand. "Nice try." Nazo said, throwing Torth to the ground and firing a beam that not only hit Torth, but blasted through the island itself.
Torth gasped in pain when the blast faded. He wasn't bleeding, and nothing was broken, but his crystal bones, black veins, and innards were clearly on display where the skin and muscle had been burned away. Under normal circumstances he could survive this and recover in a few months time. While being much more than most could say it was still unacceptable with a chaos beast about to do lord knows what with the remaining emeralds.
Torth used chaos healing, and was completely restored in seconds. Nazo had an energy blast prepared to obliterate the Master Emerald, but Torth was moving again. Using chaos flow he was able to rush to the shrine and retrieve a second chaos emerald, which attached itself to his left hand parallel to the position of the first one in his right.
All his power fully restored, Torth fired off chaos bombardment, which not only made Nazo yelp in pain from the force of it, but also knocked him into his own attack, which then exploded and launched him into space. Torth didn't relax. With chaos sync, he could sense Nazo, still in one piece, and preparing...something. It happened to quick for him to notice. The chaos emeralds shot out of his hands and returned to their place in the shrine. Torth gasped as all the chaos emeralds became super emeralds before his eyes. And once again, a dark energy left them all and flew up for Nazo to absorb.
'He'll be even stronger now.' Torth thought nervously. He couldn't tap into super emeralds. But there was still one thing he could do...
Torth took a deep breath as Nazo, now having reached his Negative form, lowered to face him. The air practically burned with energy as the red and black figure built up energy to eradicate Torth in one final attack.
Torth opened his eyes, and they glowed purple. His whole body began to glow the same way as he tapped into the raw chaos energy of the world, absorbing it to obtain more energy than any number of chaos emeralds could give him naturally.
"Chaos Nova!" Torth shouted, releasing all the built up energy in one go, which expanded in a sphere around him to collide with the blast of concentrated energy Nazo fired off.
The world went white as the two attacks clashed.
When the light finally faded, Angel Island had been completely destroyed, and the only thing that remained, was Nazo.
K.O!
Boomstick: And another one bites the dust. Wiz: While it is true that Torth's abilities are extremely powerful in context, it's important to understand that he was not built for something like Nazo, and didn't have nearly the destructive capability.
Boomstick: The most damage the world has ever been at risk of taking from Torth is a single town being destroyed over the course of a day. Wiz: Compare that to Nazo, who could have destroyed the entirety of Mobius, a planet that is in fact Earth in the far distant future and thus the same size and density, in a matter of seconds and the difference in power is very clear.
Boomstick: Torth in his base form was about on part with Sonic and Shadow individually, where Nazo's base form is able to annihilate entire cities in single attacks without even breaking a sweat, then tank Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails, all at once.
Wiz: While it's true that Torth's chaos nova could kill Nazo in his base form or possibly even his Perfect form by incinerating every single piece of him at once and leaving nothing to regenerate, Negative Nazo is another story. There's no reason to think that this blast, that normal non-fused Sonic characters in super form have survived, could be compared to the power of Hyper Shadick, which was the only entity strong enough to defeat Negative Nazo. Boomstick: And even then it took energy from several hundred if not thousands of power rings to do so. No matter how you look at it, it just wasn't Torth's time to shine.
Wiz: The winner of this Death Battle, is Nazo.
Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle...
"War has evolved. It's no longer about guns and tanks. Now..now there's so much more. Now..there are monkeys and balloons."
