AN: Well finally got this ready. I had to attent a week-long seminar at the start of the month so I didn't have time to work on my stories, so I had to rush this chapter a little to make-up for lost time. I had to tweak the dialogues a little to avoid the cries from the guidelines Nazis, but you can clearly tell I only did the barest effort on that front.

Been playing Fate Grand Order on my phone. Had to jump some hoops and download the APK version to be able to play the English version but I'm pretty sure it will be a useful research tool for my fate story.

Anyway, let's get this thing on the road.

Chapter 7: TMNT Battle Royal

"Let me see…" The sentient cat said as he peered through the list of episodes, it didn't take long for Happy to come to a decision. "Ah! Ninja turtles! They do exist! This one, I want this one!" He declared as he pointed at the name of the episode in question.

"TMNT Battle Royal?" Mirajane said as she stared at the cat's choice before starting to look for the episode in question with the remote.

With that the next battle began to play and the fairies continued where they left off.

Death Battle starts showing after Gamefly was mentioned, the intro showinga quartet of turtles dressed like ninjas.

"I can't believe this shit…" Wakaba Mine said with a 'you've got to be fucking kidding me shit'.

"I think we've already past that point some time ago Wakaba…" Macao Conbolt commented with a deadpan.

(Cues Invader - Jim Johnston)

Wiz: Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael. These are the names of some of the most prominent artists during humanity's renassaince era, a time of widespread culture and great scientific advancements. But for this instance they are the names of the widely popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Mutant reptiles born from radioactive ooze and raised ans trained in the arts of ninjutsu by a giant mutant warrior rat in the depths of New York's sewers to become the world's most fearsome fighting team.

The fairies became interested after such introduction; four turtles treating themselves like brothers and acting as a team, becoming greatly fearsome as a group rather than individually, sounds a lot like Fairy Tail to tell the truth.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, that name seems to have a particular charm to it." Laki Olietta saidas she enunciated the words with her tongue as if trying to taste them.

The mages agreed, that name did fit quite nicely for such a group.

Boomstick: Most superheroes tend to have some weird-ass origin story, but in this casewhatever the writers were smoking must have been well past beyond its expiration date! For the background of this turtle is just plain ridiculous.

"Yeah, I suppose a group of giant humanoid turtles must truly have some bizarre background." Wakaba commented with a puff of smoke. The idea of turtles being mutated from ooze is god-damn weird.

"Awesome!" Happy exclaimed, thrilled.

Jocelyn: I don't know… It seems pretty appropiate somehow. Except that whole thing of master Splinter, a human, turning into a giant rat thanks to the glowing ooze because… reasons…?

"What…?" Master Makarov said with a flabbergasted expression.

"Mmmm… rats…" Happy said, salivating at the image of the old giant sensei rat.

Wiz: Anyway, their greatest advantage in battle has always been their closely tied family bond and their exceptional teamwork. But, the main question for us to answer in this episode will be, which of the Turtles is the deadliest on their own?

Some of the group were moved at the fact that the turtles treated each other as family, which made them to start feel dread at the thought they'll start killing each other considering what Death Battle was all about. Mirajane in particular was startinf to feel some bile rising in her throat, the notion making her sick.

Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Jocelyn: And I'm Jocelyn the intern…

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.

The first contestant is a turtle wearing blue bands around his wrists and ankles and a blue bandana around his face with two holes for the eyes to see through. His weapons of choice were two katana blades. The turtle gave a very no-nonsense vibe, making him seem quite intimidating but having the skills and aptitudes of a capable fighter and leader.

Leonardo

(Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles *1987* - Main Theme *MARCH REMIX*)

Wiz: Leonardo, the leader of the ninja turtles. He is smart, strategic on his thinking and possesses a strong sense of honor that drives him to always try to be a perfect leader for his team.

The mages began to pay particular attention as they listened in, Lucyand Levy were interested in the honorable that took the time to think on his actions and be strategic on his fighting while others like Mickey Chickentiger or Erza Scarlet were only interested in his arsenal and fighting skills to improve their own abilities.

Boomstick: It's a shame he had to get rid of his sense of humor in exchange for that sense of honor. This guy always mean serious business.

Jocelyn: Well some people actually do care about their jobs, unlike others I will not mention.

Boomstick: What's that supposed to mean?

"Well, a leader always to be serious most of the times since the wellbeing of the people under his command depends solely on him. Though there can be specific times that one can use to relax a little…" Makarov commented.


NINJAKEN SWORDS

2 Ft. Long Blade

Designed for Swift, Deadly, Offensive Strikes (Erza liked)

Also called Ninjato

Commonly referred to as Katana (Erza is confused. The blade certainly is not a katana)

Invented by Hollywood (The members of Fairy Tail wondered what Hollywood is. Is it something of religious significance as the name implies?)


Boomstick: His favorite instruments for killing are the Ninjaken Swords. Shorter, sturdier and straighter blades than an ordinary Katana, designed specifically for swift deadly strikes! Out of the whole arsenal of weapons that the Turtle's employ, the Ninjaken is the only one specifically designed to murder people! And what could be better than one Ninjaken? Well… Two of course, Dammit!

"That's a good reliable blade to have at your side." Erza said as she inspected the make of the Ninjaken with her eyes, fake and was making mental notes about getting some swords just like those.

Wiz: In many of the different canon timelines, Leonardo's the one who ultimately defeats the turtle's greater and deadliest arch-nemesis, The Shredder, though not without plenty of help from his fellow turtles.

The name Shredder sends some serious chills down the backs of several of the mages. The image of a tall broad-shouldered warlord wearing a full-face covering metal helmet of an eastern design and spiky pauldrons attached to a cape that concealed his body and made him look even bigger and terrible did nothing to reasure the fairies. Most of the mages we're glad that Leo had managed to bring such intimidating opponent down.

"Scary…!" Happy commented as he shivered.


SKILL SET

Expert Strategist (Lucy, Levy and Laki approved)

Sword Master (Erza approved)

Strong Both Physically and Mentally (Mickey, Nab& Elfman approved)

Serious Devotion to Training and Family (All of the mages approved)

Bushido Code (Erza, Lucy, Levy & Laki wondered what this is)


Wiz: As a leader, he is usually is the one who has to come up with a plan when things get dicey. Almost all of his time is spent training his body and mind under the guidance of Master Splinter's and followingthe Bushido's tenents, a strict code of behaviour geared towards honor and duty that is commonly associated with the Samurais of old.

Jocely: Too bad that the actual Samurais of yore were opportunistics sons of bitches who would not hesitate to betray or stab you in the back if it was convenient to them. It was like real life game of thrones (Sigh) Sadly the romanticism of most legends is grossly overrated.

"Hmmmph… I don't know about these samurais, but Leonardo definitely seems to be a very skilled and honorable this Bushido sounds quite interesting, I would like to learn more about it." Makarov commented as he rubbed his chin.

"I'd like to know more about that code too." Erza interjected.

"If I ever meet a Samurai I'll make sure to keep an eye on him for any dirty trick." Natsu said with no small amount of suspicion.

"Natsu! Saying something sensible! The Armageddon must be upon us!" Gray declared with faux-shock.

"Shut the hell up, popsicle!"

Wiz: At one point even, he ended up battling and slaying a physical avatar of the Devil himself.

That shocked the mages still; killing something as the ruler of all demons is truly something to be respected at.

Boomstick: And giving Keanu Reeves a much needed and desired break!

Jocelyn: I preferred Matt Ryan in that role better. Besides, all that Keanu Reeves did with that break was to turn to international assassination instead until he retired, but then someone killed his dog and he went apeshit and started rampaging and murdering people left and right until he hunted down those responsibles for offing his mutt.

Boomstick: That is a perfectly sensible and logical reaction to have when some punk-ass kid kills your dog. I did the same thing when my own dog was run-over by the milk-deliverer truck. Oh Mister Fluffers, you leaved us so soon! This world didin't deserved you!

Images of a mature thin man in his early fifties dressed in a suit with a small stubbed beard and slicked-back neck-long hair with some white in it was shown killing wave after wave of enemies with precise smooth moves and unerring accuracy as he kept moving forward without stopping through dark heavily packed with people locations with bright blinding luminiscent lights of all kinds of colors. The members of Fairy Tail just blinked, astounded that a single person could cause such slaughter on his lonesome.

"Oh Shit!" Cana exclaimed with bug-eyed bulging eyes.

"That Keanu Reeves person looks dangerous. Children, if you ever see someone like him coming towards you make sure to run away in the other direction." Makarov ordered seriously to the mages under his command.

"Yes Grandmaster, we will make sure to do so…" Mirajane replied in affirmative.

"Though I find this entire bussiness of killing people without remorse disturbing, I must say that he really must have loved that dog…" Levy Mcgarden noted with some aprehension at the violent images.

"If he shows such a great concern for animals then he must not be such a bad person." Nab Lasaro said, unsurprisingly, considering his animal possesion powers.

Wiz: In any case, back to the subject at hand, Leonardo has some great difficulty when it comes to accept failure. Should his plans and strategies go horribly wrong, his concentration and focus can quickly slip away from him, leading him to doubt his own actions and becoming sloppy and imprecise.

"Most people tend to learn from their own mistakes sometimes, but suchan extreme revulsion towards accepting failuremight cause a serious problem for Leo during the fight." Wakaba commented.

Boomstick: Leo doesn't like to lose.

Jocelyn: Yes, thank you Boomstick for pointing out the obvious.

A scene of Leonardo berating his brothers is shown.

Leonardo: Quit clowning you guys! This is serious!

The mages liked Leonardo for being a skilled and honorable leader. Erza on the other hand, continued making plans of having a blacksmith make her a pair of Ninjaken swords to try Leo's fighting style.

However Leo's unwillingness of accepting defeat might cause him problems in the upcoming battle. The mages didn't had much time to dwell over this fact as the second turtle began to be shown.

This new turtle wore purple wrappings and wielded a sturdy wooden bo staff as his main weapon.

Donatello

(Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 *1991* - Cowabunga)

Wiz: Donatello, he is the main brains of the operation.

Boomstick: He does machines!

Wiz: Right, Boomstick… Somehow, without anyone noticing, he learned by himself in how to operate, manipulate and tinker with technology of both Human and Alien origin without any kind of previously formal training, education or budget whatsoever.

"Woah… Impressive." Laki Olietta was astonished, fixing her glasses over the bridge of her nose.

"He's a smart turtle!" Happy declared loudly.

"I wonder how a reptile like was able to become so intelligent...?" Lucy asked out loud in puzzlement.

Wiz: He also is fluent in technal pseudo-scientific language that he uses when trying to explain one of his inventions to any unfortunate soul willing to listen.

Jocelyn: a.k.a. he speaks 100% mind-numbing Techno-babble.

Donatello: The resulting intermit multi-polar flux should create the Electromagnetic Pulse!

"The fuck he just said?" Cana asked with a stumped expression.

"I didn't understand anything..." Natsu commented.

"Not surprise there flamebrain." Gray taunted.

Boomstick: What the hell did I just hear? Oh whatever, what it is certain is that all that gibberish must mean he probably doesn't train as much as the rest of his brothers, prefering to devote his time to Science!


BO

6 Ft. Long Staff

Durable

Oak

Longest Reach of all the Team's Weaponry

Rocksteady's Worst Nightmare


Wiz: Fortunately for him, his useful Bo Staff makes up nicely for his lack of constant training. Made out of durable Oak and at six feet of length, the Bo gives Donatello a far greater attack range than his other brothers.

"That seems like a useful weapon for aparring and training." Erza commented, eyeing the staff.

Elfman stood up from his seat. "A real man...!".

"Needs no weapons, only his fists. We know Elfman, shut up!" Cana interjected, interrupting the hit-blooded mage.

"Quiet the both of you!" Makarov chided.

Boomstick: That range might seem pretty nice, but as anyone who has killed a lot of things with a weapon knows, it takes a lot of time and patience to kill anybody with a stick!

"Depends how and where you strike…" Erza said. "If you ram one of the ends into a man's Adam's apple with sufficient strength. That's a killing blow right there…" She declared without much fanafare. The rest of her fellow mages started giving her weird look.

"Erza is scary!" Happy stated.

"We already knew that Happy." Natsu said.


SKILL SET

Level-Headed (Erza approved)

Bojitsu Master

Master Technician and Programmer (Lucy, Levy & Laki approved)

Rumored IQ of 637 (The mages were shocked at this, though Natsu seemed oblivious)

Fluent in Techno-Babble (Natsu's head began to hurt)


Wiz: He might not be an expert strategist like his brother Leonardo, but Donatello has the advantage of being the most level-headed of the Turtles. Even despite all the time he spents tinkering, he's still a very capable warrior on his own right, easily managing to keep up with the rest of his brothers and even being able of killing the Shredder in an alternate dimension.

"See, smart people can also kick ass." Lucy declared with a smug grin. Gray just gave a non-commital grunt in acknowledgement.

Boomstick: An ass-kicking nerd? I must be drunk because I don't believe it.

Jocelyn: You are drunk you waste of human skin, but that doesn't change the fact that Don is much smarter and cooler than you.

Donatello: Eh, I'm making this up as I go.

Donatello seems pretty good enough on his own and his skills in machines might even give him an advantage in the next battle. Oh well, on to the next participant.

The third turtle is a little shorter than the rest and wears orange as his main color; he wields a pair of nunchucks and has a goofy and cheery personality.

Michelangelo

(TMNT: Turtles in Time - Big Apple, 3 AM)

Wiz: Michelangelo, he is the youngest of the turtles. He's lazy, undisciplined, easily distracted and he spends most of his free time playing video games, watching TV, reading comic books, and eating pizza.

"Doesn't seem as if Wiz approves of this one." Macao commented.

"I can relate. I know how it feels dealing with slackers and morons on a daily basis." Cana said, turning to give Elfman, Gray and Natsu some nasty looks.

Boomstick: Holy shit! That turtle is fucked up!

Wiz & everybody else: What?

Boomstick: Ah come on, don't tell me you can't see how that turtle is on drugs.

"The fuck..." Gray declared, blinking in perplexity.

"Yeah, I know." Macao agreed.

Wiz: I never thought about that, I always theorized he must have been dropped several times on his head as a kid.

Jocelyn: You guys are horrible; being eccentric doesn't mean you must be either a pothead or a retard to act like that.

"Well, in Natsu's case at least one of those two options is true." Gray commented scathingly, pissing the salamander off and causing another spat between the two elemental opposite mages.

Cana stared. "I think Natsu is not the only one who suffers from chronic retardness…"

"What's that supposed to mean!"

Boomstick: Okay, look! You can clearly see he has all of the classic signs! Strange eating habits, inability to pay attention, incoherent phrases...

Michelangelo: Cowabunga!

Wiz: …! Moving on, his weapon of choice is...

Boomstick: Hey, don't ignore me! You know I'm right Wiz! You can't escape from the truth! Look at the evidence!


BONG

Also Known as Mikey's Super Dope Machine (The heck is this! All the mages thought)

Made by Donatello

Not Very Effective Weapon (No? You think!?)


Boomstick: See! The Bong! Only a true cannabis conossieur would think of using something like this as a weapon! Ha! In your face Wiz!

"So he really does drugs!" Happy exclaimed a scandalized expression on his face as he pressed his cheeks with both of his paws.

"I really don't think he's the type of doing something like that Happy." Lucy said with a frown.

Wiz: No, that's not Michelangelo's weapon!


NUNCHUCKS

Also called Nunchakus

Overcomplicated (Erza didn't seemed convinced)

Looks Cool? Maybe? (The mages began to ponder about this)

A Farming Tool

Good for Strangling

Obiviously, Mikey Strangles Enemies Off-Screen


Wiz: His main weapons of choice are the Nunchakus, which aren't really a weapon at all. It's nothing but an overrated farming tool for threshing grain. These so called "Weapons" are unnecessarily overcomplicated clubs with the effectiveness of a tattered flyswatter. Yet SOMEHOW, beyond what common sense would dictate, Michelangelo has been able to blunder his way through fights and obtain victories that he really doesn't deserve!

"Woah Ha, it seems someone has a bit of a grudge..." Wakaba commented after listening to such acerbic declaration.

"You know I like making fun people as much as the next guy, but this is a bit much even for my tastes." Cana commented with a frown.

Boomstick: But he managed to beat Ralph once using these weapons.

Wiz: Oh sure, I get it, swinging his chuks around gives him momentum to hit with them, blah, blah, blah, but in the end, a baseball bat will give you the same effect and more with much less effort. Seriously, who came up with these things? They're preposterous!

"Wiz is being a little too much of a dick in this episode." Cana commented as she took a swig of her mug.

Boomstick: You're preposterous! I don't know.

Jocelyn: AH, shut up Wiz. You're only bitching about Mikey and his nunchuks because of that time you tried to use those weapons and ended up hitting yourself in the dick like that guy from that funny video in Youtube.

A scene of a black man with dreadlocks appeared swinging some nunchuks around with some impressive skills before one of the wooden sticks accidentally ended up slamming in the middle of his crotch. All of the male mages winced visibly at that while Happy began to laugh.

Wiz: It's not only because of that…

Jocelyn: Aha, it isn't. I remember a certain mad scientist crying like a little girl in the back of the company's vehicle as I drove him to the nearest ER.

Wiz: It's not only because of that, I'm serious! Nunchakus are stupidly unnecessary tricky weapons that require a horrible amount of time in order to wield safely, how is that supposed to help an oppresed farmer against the blades of a Samurai? And just to put the icing on the cake, for some unknown reason beyond even my understanding, in all his infinite wisdom, the great and powerful master Splinter gave the most complicated weapon to the retard of the group. WHY?

The mages began to glare at the so called smart one of the hosts. Mike may not be the most serious of all warriors, but that wasn't an excuse to start picking on him, Wiz is really starting to get on everybody's nerves on this episode.

Boomstick: I have a feeling Mikey's not gonna be winning this battle for some reason…

Wiz: He better not.

Michelangelo: Ho ho, someone's cranky!"

The fairies chuckled at that statement; it was as if Mike were replying to Wiz's negativity towards him. Overall, Michelangelo seemed like a pretty cool and laid-back guy to hang out with. In any case, on to the last combatant.

The last turtle is a little taller then the others and with a bit more degree of musculature. His main color is red and he wields a pair of sai and has an angry look on his face.

Raphael

(Cues I Beam Fight - TMNT)

Boomstick: Ralph, he is a bonafide badass but he's crude as raw iron! Hell, forget crude, this guy's borderline psycho!

"He reminds me of Natsu." Gray commented uncaringly.

"Hey!"

Wiz: Without a doubt, of all the turtles, he is the one who always throws the first punch. Raphael is certainly the most vicious of the team, constantly butting heads with his brothers and challenging Leonardo's leadership with regularity.

"So he is the typical angry rebel who doesn't like to follow the rules." Wakaba commented.

"Sounds like Laxus to me." Macao added. "No offense Guildmaster." He amended towards the leader of Fairy Tail.

"None taken Macao, I know exactly just how difficult my son can be." The short old man replied.


SAI

A Dagger-Like Trucheon

Used Against Swords (Erza was surprised)

Primarilly Defensive

Traps and Controls an Opponent's Weapons

For Stabbing, not Slicing


Boomstick: He uses his twin Sai, which is kind off like the love baby between a pitchfork, a dagger and Wolverine's claws!

Jocelyn: That would certainly be one wild and bizarre night of passion.

Wiz: In the same fashion as the nunchuck, the Sai also humbly began as a farming tool but were later re-purposed to counter the swords of the oppressive samurai.

"Mmmmph… Interesting." Erza commented as she watched the screen, a weapon made to counter blades is certainly something that would catch her attention.

Boomstick: They're best used as a close ranged defensive weapon. The triple prongs are designed to block, trap and control an opponent's weapon (usually swords) while the pummel is used to beat the enemy into submission. Raph's Sai can even snap swords!

Jocelyn: Or you can simply use the Sai in your other hand to stab your opponent in the stomach while you keep his weapon trapped.

"That's a pretty versatile weapon in my opinion." Laki said as she fixed her glassess.

"I doubt a simple weapon made of steel will be able to brak most magical weapons like those in my arsenal, but it will be excellent to keep an opponents'weapon out of the way and leave him vulnerable to counterattacks." Erza said, thinking about all the uses she could do with a Sai.


SKILL SET

Vicious and Brutal

Sai Master

Arguably the Toughest of the Team (Elfman approved)

Hot-Headed with Common Fits of Rage

Enjoys Fighting (Mickey approves)


Wiz: Raphael is not exactly the smartest of fighters; his plan of attack usually boils down to simply rushing into a brawl without a care and just focusing on overpowering his foes.

"That reminds me of someone I know..." Wakaba said, turning to give Natsu a look, drawing the attention of the rest of the fairies.

The pink-haired salamander for the life of him couldn't understand why his friends were staring at him. "What…?"

Wiz: It's because of this lack of strategic planning that Raphael spends much of his time honing his combat skills. It is very certain that he is physically the strongest turtle.

"Good! At least one of these turtles knows what a real man is" Elfman declared loudly.

"Of course you would approve." Cana rolled her eyes.

Boomstick: But despite being the muscles of the team, this guy is in some serious need of anger management.

Wiz: He is naturally impatient, irritable, temperamental and sometimes when he's angry enough he loses control of his own rage. He is by far the most vicious of the turtles and, at one point in the comics, he even ended up taking the mantle of the Shredder for himself.

The mages were shocked, it is true sometimes anger causes you to do ugly things you would not normally do. But going so far as to become the very enemy you're fighting against does nothing byt continue the cicle of death and hatred. Not to mention the betrayal of your values and friendships.

Raphael: Damn!

Despite his clear anger issues, Ralph seems as an excellent training partner to spar with, Mickey and Natsu wished to have a fistfight with him.

Wiz: Alright the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: Wait up Wiz! I gotta rent the latest Ninja Turtle game first.

Wiz: We already have it, we did all this research remember...?

Boomstick: Gamefly!

As the advertisement rolls, the mages begin to debate among themselves over which turtle would win. Leonardo is the leader of the team, so he might have an advantage and a greater knowledge regarding all of his team's weakness, Donatello is a technician who is accustomed at fighting at long range to keep his enemies at a distance, Michelangelo is somewhat incompetent and barely has any combat training under his belt and Raphael is a savage vicious fighter who likes to overpower his brothers and is skilled enough to match Leonardo in a fight.

"I don't think we should be discussing the results for this fight." Levy suddenly spoke. "The turtles are all brothers and they are about to kill each other until only one remains." She said with obvious dejection. That took the wind from everybody's sails.

Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!


(Cues 1987 TMNT Sewer BGM)

The group sees the city of New York at night time, an impressive metropolis of tall towers that seem to reach the sky; very few buildings in the face of Earthland were that massive. The camera then zoomsdown to the very bottom into the streets on the ground and then inside the sewers until reaching the four turtles who are standing inside one of the many filthy and stinky tunnels as they draw their weapons out on each other.

Time to see which turtle is deadliest.

FIGHT!

Leonardo immediately lunges towards Mike first, pushing him backwards and away from the other 2 turtles and begins trading blows with him;meanwhile Don decides to go after Raph, knowing he has the range advantage over his fellow turtle and forces him on the defensive as he slams blow after blow with the butt end of his Bo staff. Leo backs away as he summeraults several times backwards while Mike counterattacks and manages to land a coule of strikes on him, but Leo fights back, skashing with his sword and drawing blood before kicking his brother in the face and leaping over his head to land behind him. Mike then goes for a quick strike with his nunchuk as he turns aroun, but Leonardo slashed his arm off with a single movement.

The magedgape jaw-slacked at seeing something so graphic.

"Holy shit!" Cana yells moyth-agape.

"No! Mickey!" Happy exclaims.

Leo then decided to end Mikey's suffering and decapitates him in a single movement.

The fairies looked on in sorrow as Mike dies pretty quick. Levy looked dejected and on the verge of tears.

(Cues Mouser Arsenal - TMNT 2K3 Game)

Meanwhile with Don and Raph, the two fo them continued fighting as they smacked on each other and matched pretty evenly blow for blow, until Don eventually overwhelmed Ralph with spinning strikes from his staff, hitting him him repeatedly before tossing him past Leo when Ralph tried to retaliate by recklessly charging at the purple-clad then decided to take his turn and leaped forward to attack Don, the smarter of the turtle managed to block the attack of their leader and dodge the subsequent strikes, causing his swords to become stuck on a nearby pile of boxes,before climbing atop said boxes in a single leap and take advantage of his high ground by constantly striking Leo multiple times while he tried to dislodge his trapped weapons.

"I a feeling things are about to get ugly." Wakaba commented as he kept watching the fight.

(Cues Stars Align - TMNT)

A seemingly unconscious Ralph then gets up in a fit of rage and charges towards his brothers, knocking down the pile of boxes and sending Don flying while Leo was lucky enough to be spared from the brunt of the attack. As Don lies down on the ground unmoving, Ralph lands looming overhim and proceeds to violently stab him several times with unrestrained viciousness.

The mages of Fairy Tail were absolutely shocked at seeing Raph violently stabbing his own brother. HIS own BROTHER! The oldest members of the guild were looking at the scene with numbshock stares, Warren Rocko and Wang Chanzi were green on the face, Levy and Mirajane were shedding tears, Cana was gobsmacked as she spilled her drink without caring and Natsu, Gray and Happywere rooted to their spot with mounting horror.

As Ralph finished brutalizing Don after 24 stabs, he stood up again and raised his guard before turning towards his last brother. The last 2 turtles just stared at each other for a few tense seconds before lunging at each combatants clash in a flurry of steel, attacks being blocked or diverted until Raph gains the upper handnd manage to land a few hits on Leo before knocking down into the water of the sewer. Ralph them gets down into the canal as Leo rises back to his feet and another brief staredown ensues.

Leo tries to ram his weapon into Ralph with a sudden thrust, but the hotheaded turtle evades and another exchange of steel takes place Ralph ultimately manages to trap Leo's swords with his Sais as both brothers lock themselves in a contest of wills trying to overpower each other with nothing more but raw physical music increasing into greater intensity that the mages began to unconsciously lean foward to see what the result of the fight would be.

The Sais eventually snapped Leo's swords in half prompting the two brothers to quickly stab at each other regardless of the condition of their weapons. Leo receives a nasty wound on his as the Sai stabs him in the abdomen, Ralph however was unlucky as one of Leo's broken swordsgets lodged into his throat.

Raphael (In a bloodcurdling tone): DAMN!

The mages watch in sorrow as Ralph's body sinked into the water, turning it red while Leo just remains theresitting down in the water with an expression that doesn't look like victory, more like horrible regret.

K.O.!


The mages were shellshocked too much by what they had just seen that nody dared to speak, they've seen a lot of gruesome things from time to time while taking quests for the guild, but to see four turtles who treat each other like family, violently killing each other without mercy was something that really shook them to their core.

"I...I have no words…." It was all that Cana could say.

"I thought this was gonna be just like most of the previous episodes, but I didn't expected for this one to be so graphic." Macao said with a shake of his head.

"Yes… I believe we should take a moment to collect ourselves..." Mirajane suggested with noticeable gloominess in her semblance.

The pretty bartender paused the episode and the mages took the time to slowly calm down their nerves, soon they started accepting the fact that Leo is now a single brother. But Natsu, in a bout of uncharacteristical brilliance, suggested since this show is only about fictional characters fighting each other, then they didn't really die at all, it's just make believe fights for entertainment value. The mages slowly started to think about what the Salamander was saying and acknowledged he was right. After finally recovering from their ordeal, the mages resumed the episode to listen to the results.

(Cues TMNT 1987 - Main Theme *Rock/Metal Cover*)

Boomstick: Woah ho ho! Somebody call a vet or something! We are down by three turtles.

"Goddammit Boomstick!" Wakaba growled, not in the mood for lame jokes.

Wiz: There is a reason why Leonardo is the leader of the team. Not because of his strength or speed, but for his strategies and tactical thinking. Leonardo knows and understands all the innate strengths and weaknesses of his fellow turtles. His biggest threat was Raphael's sword snapping Sais, so he went after the weakest link of the group first.

"Mmmmph… pretty efficient, taking care of the weakest foe first allows you focus on the stronger opponent without worrying about unexpected distractions." Laki commented.

Cana nodded in agreement as she tapped the rim of her drinking mug with the tips of her fingers to ease some tension.

Boomstick: This means Leo let Donny beat the shit outta Ralph, who didn't had any means to overcome Don's greater range. So by the time Ralph finally got his revenge for being turned into a piñata, Leo was in way better shape for their final duel.

Remembering how Don got stabbed to the death sent some goosebumps down the mages' spines at the mere thought of it.

Wiz: I can hear all of those annoying fanboys raging at this very moment "But Ralph won in the movie! He should have won here! Nyah nyah!" Eh… No!

"Fanboys? They have those in their dimension too…" Mirajane inquired with a puzzled stare, thinking about all those stalkers the girls of the guild sometimes have to deal with for posing for all those magazines' pictures.

"Seems they are a plague that torments all corners of creation. You cannot escape them no matter where you try to run…" Cana said with a shake of her head before taking a swig from her mug.

Wiz: And that's because of four simple reasons. Number one: The outcome of that fight was specifically tailored due to plot needs, which are rarely accurate. Two: Leonardo absolutely decimated Ralph in the first fight beforehand. Three: Leonardo didn't want to fight at all during that fight. If he had, he would've killed Raphael right then and there, no question about that.

Boomstick: One flick of the wrist, slide down the blade left, and bam! No more Ralph!

"That's a horrible thing to do to your own family. I'm glad that Leonardo is too honorable to do something like that." Levy commented, arms crossed as she watched.

Wiz: And four; that whole movie was pretty lame and didn't had much sense to begin with. Why should it then be considered an exception for this battle if that's the case?

Boomstick: But, hey, Leo can still die from that final stab he received at the end of the fight, right?

Wiz: Unlikely for several reasons. Turtles have proportionally smaller vital organs and far more muscle mass in comparison to humans, meaning there's only a small chance for Raphael to actually hitting anything important. Leo himself has been stabbed plenty of times in the past throughout the whole series and walked away on his own, plus all four turtles have been trained in the art of Chi Kung by Master Splinter and can control their breathing and heart rate to survive extreme conditions and injury.

"Well, that's an useful art to learn." Mickey chikentiger said, causing eveybody else to agree with her.

Boomstick: Looks like Leo got the point of this battle.

No one said anything at the bad pun.

Wiz: (sigh) The winner is Leonardo.

This episode wass gruesome, the mages begin to suspect if there will be other episodes as graphic as this one in the future too.

Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle. Leo may taste victory now, but the fight is just beginning!

A teaser shows Leonardo facing a large anthropomorphic green toad.

"Seems Leo is going to fight again…" Gray simply commented.

"I wanna watch that episode too!" Happy immediately exclaimed, prompting Mirajane to press skip to the next fight.
