GT25's Versus Series: G-Force vs. SHIELD

Hello, and welcome to the Versus Series. In this series, we will compare warriors from across the many universes of all forms of fiction and analyze their weapons, armor, and x-factors to see who would win in a hypothetical battle. For this installment, we will compare two government agencies that fight against extraordinary threats with G-Force from Japan and the Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Division of the United States. For this installment, we will take G-Force from their appearances in the Heisei Era Godzilla films and SHIELD as they appeared in the comics with information provided from their respective universes. Since one of these groups are more well known than the other, I will provide a brief summary of their background to keep everyone on equal footing.

History of the Warriors

After the conflict between Godzilla and Mecha-King Ghidorah in the year 1992, Japan along with the United Nations decided that something must be done to combat Godzilla and formally established the United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center, or UNGCC, within months. In addition, an international joint military branch of the UNGCC would be established by the UN and the Japanese Self-Defense Force which would be called G-Force. Training their members to combat kaiju, G-Force would take over where the JSDF left off with battling Godzilla and the various kaiju that would appear. Despite using mechs against larger kaiju, the members of G-Force would be trained to combat smaller kaiju and even gained experience fighting criminals due to a branch of the Yakuza kidnapping a member of the force. While their mechs would see more success against larger kaiju, G-Force would still battle kaiju and even took down the kaiju Destroyah in 1995. Whether they were dissolved after Godzilla's death in 1995 or stayed in service remains unknown.

After the end of the Second World War, the United States government decided to create an organization that operated as a covert and military agency to keep the peace. This agency, after being placed under the control of the United Nations, would be called the Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Division, or SHIELD. After its first director was killed by a terrorist agency called Hydra, SHIELD would gain Nick Fury as their director with him answering to twelve men and women who even the directors of SHIELD would never know. Battling against many groups such as Hydra and AIM, the agency would have its agents sent out to take care of these threats along with fighting with the group of superheroes known as the Avengers. After an incident caused the agency to be disbanded, the United Nations replaced it with a similar task force under the same name with Fury being its director before stepping down for Maria Hill to take over as director.

Close Range

M7 Bayonet (G-Force): The M7 Bayonet is a bayonet made for the M16 Rifle and is used by both the JSDF and members of G-Force for their Howa Type 89 rifle. This knife bayonet has a 6.75 inch steel blade with a total length of 11.75 inches and weighs 11.2 ounces.

Ka-Bar Knife (SHIELD): The Ka-Bar Knife is a type of combat knife that has been used by many military units and groups since the Second World War. This combat knife has a 7 inch steel blade with a total length of 11.88 inches and weighs 11.2 ounces.

Verdict: The M7 Bayonet gets the edge. Similar to what I said in Enigma Corporation vs. G-Force, the Ka-Bar Knife has a slightly longer blade though the M7 Bayonet is more useful as it can serve as both a normal combat knife and a bayonet on a rifle when used in battle.

Pistols

Beretta 92F (G-Force): The Beretta 92F is a pistol that has been used by many militaries along with members of G-Force and operates on a short recoil operation. This pistol fires the 9x19mm Parabellum round with the weapon using a fifteen round detachable box magazine. The Beretta 92F has a length of 8.5 inches and weighs 2.13 pounds with an effective range of 50 meters.

Glock 19 (SHIELD): The Glock 19 is a pistol which is one of many types of pistols used by SHIELD agents when going out to the field and operates on a short recoil operation with a locked breech and a tilting barrel. This pistol fires the 9x19mm Parabellum round with the weapon using a fifteen detachable box magazine. The Glock 19 has a length of 7.36 inches and weighs 1.48 pounds with an effective range of 50 meters.

Verdict: The Glock 19 gets the edge, though not by much. While both fire the same round and have the same number of rounds in their magazines, the Glock 19 is shorter than the Beretta 92F by 1.14 inches and lighter by 10.4 ounces.

Medium Range

Minebea PM-9 (G-Force): The Minebea PM-9 is a machine pistol based off the Mini Uzi which is used by the JSDF along with members of G-Force and operates on a blowback system. This machine pistol fires the 9x19mm Parabellum round with the weapon using a twenty-five round detachable box magazine. The Minebea PM-9 has a length of 15.7 inches and weighs 6.2 pounds with an effective range of 100 meters.

H&K MP5k (SHIELD): The H&K MP5k is a short version of the normal H&K MP5 which is used by SHIELD agents in operations in the field and operates on a roller-delayed blowback system with a closed bolt. This submachine gun fires the 9x19mm Parabellum round with the weapon using a thirty round detachable box magazine. The H&K MP5k has a length of 12.8 inches and weighs 4.4 pounds with an effective range of 100 meters.

Verdict: The H&K MP5k gets the edge. Despite both having the same range and fire the same round, the H&K MP5k is slightly shorter by 2.9 inches and lighter by 1.8 pounds with it having five more rounds than the Minebea PM-9.

Long Range

Howa Type 89 (G-Force): The Howa Type 89 is an assault rifle based off the Armalite AR-18 which is used by members of G-Force on the front lines and operates on a gas-operated system. This rifle fires the 5.56x45mm NATO round with the weapon using a thirty round detachable box magazine. The Howa Type 89 has a length of 36.1 inches and weighs 7.7 pounds with an effective range of 500 meters.

Bushmaster ACR (SHIELD): The Adaptive Combat Rifle, or ACR, is a type of modular rifle that is used by SHIELD as their primary assault rifle when going into combat and operates on a gas-piston operation system with a rotating bolt. This rifle fires the 5.56x45mm NATO round with the weapon using a thirty round detachable box magazine. The Bushmaster ACR has a length of 35.5 inches with the stock folded out along with being extended and weighs 9.8 pounds with an effective range of 500 meters.

Verdict: Neither weapon gets the edge. Despite the Howa Type 89 being lighter by 2.1 pounds, both rifles are almost very similar with them firing the same round, have the same number of rounds in their magazines, and have the same effective range.

Sniper Rifles

M24 Rifle (G-Force): The M24 Sniper Weapon System is a military rifle that is used by the JSDF along with members of G-Force when going into combat and operates on a bolt-action system. This rifle fires the 7.62x51mm NATO round with the weapon having a five round internal box magazine. The M24 Rifle has a length of 43 inches and weighs 11.88 pounds when empty and without a scope with an effective range of 800 meters.

H&K G3SG/1 (SHIELD): The H&K G3SG/1 is a specialized variant of the H&K G3 which is modified to be used as a rifle for a sharpshooter and operates on a roller-delayed blowback system. This rifle fires the 7.62x51mm NATO round with the weapon using a ten round detachable box magazine. The H&K G3SG/1 has the length of 40.4 inches and weighs 12.2 pounds with an optic attached with an effective range of 600 meters.

Verdict: The M24 Rifle gets the edge. Looking at their stats, the H&K G3SG/1 is slightly shorter by 2.6 inches while the M24 Rifle is just lighter by 5.12 ounces. However, the G3SG/1 has five more rounds in its box magazines which makes it quicker to reload than the internal box magazine of the M24. Despite this advantage, the M24 Rifle is actually a sniper rifle rather than a designated marksmen rifle and has a longer range by 200 meters.

Special Weapons

Howa 84RR (G-Force): The Howa 84 Recoilless Rifle is the Carl Gustaf Recoilless Rifle made under license by Howa which is used by the JSDF as an anti-tank weapon and operates on a hinged breech system. This recoilless rifle fires the 84x246mmR rounds of various types with the weapon only being able to hold one round in the breech. The Howa 84RR has a length of 44 inches and weighs 31 pounds with a minimal effective range of 350 to 500 meters against vehicles both moving and stationary.

H&K XM25 (SHIELD): The H&K XM25 is an bullpup grenade launcher that is used by SHIELD as a heavy hitting weapon when battling against foes and operates on a gas-operated system. The grenade launcher fires the 25x40mm air burst, or 'smart', grenades of various types with the weapon using a five round detachable box magazine. The H&K XM25 has a length of 29.5 inches and weighs 14 pounds when empty with an effective range of 500 meters.

Verdict: The Howa 84RR gets the edge. Looking at their stats, the H&K XM25 is the shorter weapon of the two by 14.5 inches and is much lighter by 17 pounds. In addition, it has a box magazine that holds four more rounds than the Howa 84RR along with making it quicker to reload. However, as a recoilless rifle, the Howa 84RR fires much larger rounds with the weapon being a dedicated anti-tank weapon and thus making a much more powerful weapon when compared to the grenade launcher.

Armor

Kevlar Vest (G-Force): Used by many police agencies and militaries for protection, the Kevlar Vest is a ballistic vest composed of layers of kevlar to create a light and flexible armor. These layers of kevlar will 'catch' and deform the bullet to absorb the energy across a larger area in order to protect the wearer. Assuming that this armor is of Type III level of protection according to the NIJ armor standard, this vest is able to protect the user from small caliber rounds like 9x19mm, .45 ACP, and 10mm Auto along with stopping rifle rounds like FN 5.7x28mm, 7.62x39mm, and 7.62x51mm NATO. However, armor piercing rounds that are used in rifles would go through no problem and areas of the vest may weaken if hit multiple times. In addition, the vest and wearer still absorb the impact of the bullet and heavy bullets can cause blunt force trauma under the impact point.

Body Suit (SHIELD): The standard body armor of the force, the agents of SHIELD make use of a blue body suit which has holsters for carrying some of their equipment and a utility belt around their waist. While its never said how strong this body suit is, it is possible that it is made of kevlar with a possible strength to Type II level of protection according to the NIJ armor standard. Assuming this to be the case, this would allow the body suit to protect the user from small caliber rounds like .22 Long Rifle, some 9x19mm rounds, .380 ACP, .45 ACP, and .357 Magnum with larger caliber rounds being able to go through with some ease.

Verdict: G-Force gets the edge. Much like with GUN vs. SHIELD, the Kevlar Vest is more practical for this battle since the SHIELD Body Suit is more of a standard uniform than armor. Moreover, if both pieces of armor are at the level of armor strength they are assumed to have, it actually benefits G-Force more than it does SHIELD. In this case, the Kevlar Vest would be able to at least handle some rifle rounds while the Body Suit would provide very little against similar types of rounds which gives the members of G-Force an advantage over the agents of SHIELD.

X-Factors

Training: Despite often using mechs to battle against kaiju, the members of G-Force were trained in the use of firearms and in martial arts to prepare them to deal with humans when the situations come up and smaller kaiju. As they were made up of a group known for espionage and as a type of military group, the agents of SHIELD were most likely trained much like soldiers along with gaining skills in espionage to perform covert operations.

Audacity: G-Force gets the edge, though not by much. Since they were formed to battle against Godzilla and other kaiju, the soldiers of G-Force are willing to head into battle against giant monsters and even the smaller kaiju knowing that they could be killed by these creatures. While they do often end up fighting alongside the Avengers, the agents of SHIELD are more than willing to battle against other super humans and even aliens just as they would often battle against their normal human enemies.

Experience: As an international joint military organization, the soldiers of G-Force have had to battle against many types of kaiju from the Juvenile Destroyahs to even Godzilla himself and have even taken on members of the Yakuza. During their battles alongside the Avengers, the agents of SHIELD have battled against multiple terrorist groups such as Hydra and AIM along with having battled against super humans and beings who match them.

Tenacity: SHIELD gets the edge, though not by much. As they were formed to deal with the threat of Godzilla, the members of G-Force are willing to put their lives on the line to protect Japan against kaiju and were even willing to engage the smaller kaiju in direct combat. As they are under the control of the United Nations, the agents of SHIELD are willing to head into combat against agents of many groups such as Hydra and even battled against aliens and super humans despite being normal humans.

Match Information: This is a seven on seven match with a few interactions with a Juvenile Destroyah.

The Set Up: In an abandon small town on an island in the Pacific Ocean, seven SHIELD agents come as they try to find info about mutants as seven soldiers of G-Force arrive to look into reports of kaiju activity.

BATTLE

About twenty meters from an abandon small town on an island in the Pacific Ocean, a black Bell UH-1D Iroquois lands on the ground before the doors open as seven men in blue body suits with holsters and utility belts coming out of the helicopter. The first man, who has brown hair with graying sideburns and an eye patch over his left eye, exits the vehicle first with him having a Bushmaster ACR in his hands with a Glock 19 holstered and a Ka-Bar Knife sheathed on the man's utility belt. After him is a man of Asian descent who is armed with an H&K MP5k with a Glock 19 holstered on his utility belt.

After him is a man with blonde hair whose holding an H&K XM25 in his hands with a Glock 19 holstered and a Ka-Bar Knife sheathed on his utility belt. The next man of the group, who has black hair, is armed with a Bushmaster ACR in his hands with a holster on his utility belt holding a Glock 19. The fifth man of the group has light brown hair and is holding an H&K MP5k in his hands with him having a Glock 19 holstered and a Ka-Bar Knife sheathed on his utility belt. Following the others are the last two who both have a Glock 19 holstered on their utility belts with the first having an H&K G3SG/1 in his hands while the second is armed a Bushmaster ACR.

These men, in order of appearance, are Nick Fury, Jimmy Woo, Clay, Rick, Mitch, Alexander, and George. These men are agents of SHIELD who have arrived to find any information on a possible rumor of the island holding aggressive mutants.

SHIELD: 7

"Alright, here we are," Nick Fury tells the others as the helicopter takes off, "We go in quick and find what we need. Everyone understand?"

"Yes, sir!" the other SHIELD agents exclaim.

Nodding, Nick looks over to Alexander and says, "Alexander, get ready to split off when you see a good spot to cover us."

"Of course," Alexander replies, giving a nod.

"Alright, let's move!" Nick shouts, turning and moving towards the abandon town as the other SHIELD agents quickly follow after him.

On the other side of the abandon town, a dark grey Bell UH-1J Iroquois lands on a small hill before the doors open with seven men in grey long sleeve shirts and pants with dark blue kevlar vests over their shirts, a patch on their right upper arm, and dark blue caps with a logo on their heads come out. Their leader, who has black hair under his hat and stubble on his face, comes out of the helicopter armed with a Howa Type 89 in his hands with a Beretta 92F holstered and a M7 Bayonet sheathed on his belt. Getting out of the vehicle after him is a man with a M24 Rifle in his hands with a Beretta 92F holstered and a M7 Bayonet sheathed on his belt.

The third man of the group has a Minebea PM-9 in his hands with the strap over his right shoulder with him having a Beretta 92F holstered on his belt. After him is a man holding a Howa Type 89 in his hands with the man having a Beretta 92F holstered on his belt. The next man to come out holding a Beretta 92F in his hands with a M7 Bayonet sheathed on his belt and having a Howa 84RR slung over his back. Coming off the helicopter is another man whose wearing a large backpack with him having Minebea PM-9 in his hands with him having a Beretta 92F holstered on his belt. The final man who comes off the vehicle is holding a Howa Type 89 in his hands with him having a Beretta 92F holstered on his belt.

These men, in order of appearance, are Akira Yuki, Sho Kuroki, Hideki, Ryota, Daisuke, Jiro, and Noburo. These men are members of G-Force who have arrived to the island to look into reports of kaiju activity being detected on the island.

G-Force: 7

SHIELD: 7

As the G-Force helicopter takes off, Yuki looks around before seeing a destroyed house and motioning for Kuroki to come forward to him. Pointing to the destroyed house, Yuki says, "(That's a good position to cover us from. Head to it and get in position.)"

"(Right, Yuki,)" Kuroki replies before rushing towards the other side of the hill to get to the destroyed house.

Looking towards the other five men, Yuki quickly tells them, "(Alright, be ready for battle. Let's move out.)"

With that, Yuki turns around and starts moving towards the abandon town with the other soldiers quickly following after him.

Moving through the town, Nick Fury continues to lead the other SHIELD agents through the place as they head towards the center of town where the mutants are said to be hold up. As they keep moving at a quick pace, Alexander spots a two story building with a flat roof before splitting off from the rest. With the other agents still moving further into the town, the SHIELD marksman breaks the door down before rushing into the building towards second floor and hopefully to getting onto the roof of the place.

At the same time this is happening, the members of G-Force are making their way towards the center of the town as well with their weapons at the ready. However, unlike the rest, Daisuke and Jiro are keeping a distance between them and the others for when they need to make use of the recoilless rifle. As they continue, Yuki manages to see something in the center of the town with him motioning the others to halt as they enter a large area.

With Daisuke and Jiro maintaining their distance, the others are able to look around the area with a few destroyed buildings that overshadow a car that is crushed like a can along with many slain people. The G-Force soldiers move cautiously as their leader approaches the body of a police officer with a perfect hole in their torso that strangely shows the ground.

"(Major,)" Hideki shouts, getting his leader's attention, "(We have something over here!)"

Turning towards the soldier, Yuki moves over to the man as he sees him stand up as Noburo comes over as well to see what the soldier had found. Looking down, the three men see many holes in the ground in a line which were almost too perfect to have been done by anything artificial.

To the soldiers, the evidence pointed to the most obvious conclusion to this.

"(The reports were right,)" Yuki says, looking to Noburo, "(Contact the destroyer, we'll need more soldiers.)"

"(Yes, sir,)" Noburo replies, quickly taking a radio devise from his belt.

However, before he could get the devise to work, Nick Fury and the other SHIELD agents arrive in the area with them quickly spotting the members of G-Force. Seeing the dead bodies scattered around the area, the lead SHIELD agent realizes that the soldiers in front of them are members from one of the hostile groups they usually combat.

"Enemy operatives!" Nick Fury exclaims, getting the attention of the other agents, "Open fire!"

Hearing the shout, the members of G-Force look over to see the SHIELD agents with Yuki spotting Nick lifting his rifle. Before he could give any orders, the lead SHIELD agent pulls the trigger of his Bushmaster ACR to fire a burst of rounds at them. Despite being nearly hit, Yuki along with Noburo and Hideki were able to quickly lift their weapons at their attackers as the other agents move to engage them.

"(We're under attack,)" Yuki shouts, aiming his Howa Type 89 at their newest foes, "(Open fire!)"

Pulling the trigger, the G-Force leader fires a burst of rounds at his newest foes as the other members of G-Force attempt to return fire as well. However, Nick Fury quickly gets a bead and fires a single bullet through Noburo's neck which drops the man quickly.

G-Force: 6

SHIELD: 7

As the SHIELD agents fire upon them, the other G-Force soldiers quickly move to where they can take cover with Daisuke and Jiro managing to find cover behind a building about ten meters away from the others. Getting behind some rubble from one of the destroyed buildings, Yuki takes aim with his Howa Type 89 as Hideki gets behind a crate nearby and Ryota gets behind rubble of another destroyed building. Seeing Mitch taking aim at one of his fellow soldiers, Yuki fires a single shot from his rifle which strikes the man in the head and kills him almost instantly.

G-Force: 6

SHIELD: 6

Due to their newest foes now firing at them, the SHIELD agents quickly start to take cover as well with Nick Fury and Clay taking cover behind debris from destroyed buildings. As the other three agents taking cover nearby, Clay sees Ryota behind some rubble as they start firing their rifle towards Nick Fury. Seeing this as the other agents fire at the G-Force soldiers, Clay takes aim with his H&K XM25 before raising the grenade launcher up a bit to get the right angle to use his weapon.

Upon stopping at the angle he needs, Clay pulls the trigger and launches a grenade from the H&K XM25 with it arcing a bit through the air. Just as it reaches behind Ryota, the grenade explodes while still in the air which shocks the G-Force soldiers as some of them duck a bit more into their cover. However, Ryota collapses to the ground with the grenade having killed him in only a moment thanks to the shock wave from it.

G-Force: 5

SHIELD: 6

Seeing the other members of G-Force having to stay in cover, Daisuke quickly lowers his Beretta 92F and places it back into its holster as he grabs the strap on the Howa 84RR. Looking over to Jiro, the man tells his fellow soldier, "(I need a bunker buster round.)"

"(Right,)" Jiro says, quickly putting his machine pistol on the ground before taking the large backpack off his back.

Pointing the barrel of the recoilless rifle towards the ground, Daisuke unhooks a handle and moves the end of the weapon on its hinge before lifting it up to aim the weapon. As he does, Jiro puts the backpack on the ground and opens it to reveal a few recoilless rifle rounds inside it. Taking out an HEDP round from the backpack, the G-Force soldier puts the round into the back of the Howa 84RR as he starts to move the end of the weapon back into place.

However, as he does, Alexander is on the roof of the building as he looks through the scope of the H&K G3SG/1 he's holding. Getting a bead on the two soldiers, the SHIELD marksman manages to get a bead on the man loading the weapon before firing the rifle. In a few moments, the bullet flies through the air until it hits Jiro in the head and causes him to drop to the ground dead.

G-Force: 4

SHIELD: 6

Seeing his fellow soldier falling to the ground, Daisuke quickly puts the recoilless rifle onto the ground as he moves to check on the man. However, as he finds his fellow soldier dead, Alexander attempts to get a bead on the other soldier through his scope.

Fortunately for the G-Force soldier, Kuroki is watching over the area when he spies the flash of light from the marksman before moving his rifle up a bit. Getting a bead on the SHIELD marksman, Kuroki fires a shot from his M24 Rifle which quickly strikes Alexander in the chest. Upon getting hit, Alexander gives out one last gasp before falling to his left and right off the roof of the building.

G-Force: 4

SHIELD: 5

Looking around, Yuki sees his fellow soldiers having to duck into cover with him looking behind them to see Daisuke closing the hinge breech of the Howa 84RR. As bullets keep heading for them, the G-Force leader realizes that he and his men need to fall back with him seeing Clay aiming towards them again. However, the SHIELD agent is nearly hit by a bullet from the G-Force sniper which causes him to quickly duck into cover.

Seeing this, Yuki quickly looks at his fellow soldiers as he shouts, "(Fall back to the hills! We'll regroup there!)"

Hearing this, the other two soldiers nod as Yuki stands up and fires his Howa Type 89 at the SHIELD agents as Hideki stands up and fires his Minebea PM-9 as well. Daisuke quickly grabs the large backpack and carries it with him as he rushes off onto a nearby street they had traveled on. Seeing this, Yuki motions to Hideki to move with both men rushing towards another street as another shot from Kuroki keeps the remaining SHIELD agents down.

Looking up and seeing their enemy running, Nick Fury quickly exclaims, "Let's go after them! They may know what we need!"

The other SHIELD agents quickly nod with George rushing forward ahead of the others as Nick Fury follows after him towards the two G-Force soldiers. As Jimmy Woo and Rick follow the other two SHIELD agents, Clay moves to follow after Daisuke to ensure that the man doesn't use their weapon against his fellow agents.

Locking the bolt back into place, Kuroki moves his rifle up to look through the scope and quickly manages to zero in on Clay as he rushes towards the street. However, before he can take the shot, an inhuman screech comes from outside the building and Kuroki looks through part of the destroyed wall. Seeing something in the darkness, the G-Force soldier quickly lifts his M24 Rifle as he runs towards the door.

Just as he gets outside, a white energy ray strikes part of the inside of the building that causes an explosion in the building and the soldier jumps to the ground to avoid any debris. Looking back, he sees the house even more destroyed than before along with a quick glimpse at something else. Getting to his feet fast, Kuroki is forced to run towards the town in order to escape the very real threat he's just encountered.

Back in the town, Clay keeps moving down the road as he continues to chase after the lone G-Force member to take them out. However, just as he passes a car with broken windows, the SHIELD agent sees the G-Force soldier before looking on in horror as he sees Daisuke aiming the recoilless rifle with the backpack on the ground. Clay attempts to aim his H&K XM25 to fire it, but Daisuke quickly fires the Howa 84RR with the HEDP round speeding towards the SHIELD agent.

Clay attempts to run away, but the HEDP round strikes the car and explodes with the shock wave along with some shrapnel striking the agent. Daisuke lowers the recoilless rifle as he watches the man fall to the ground and remains motionless.

G-Force: 4

SHIELD: 4

Moving the recoilless rifle to hold it with the barrel up, Daisuke quickly gets the breech open with the end of it being moved on its hinged. The soldier quickly pulls another lever on the back to let the empty case fall onto the ground before getting the weapon level with the ground as he grabs another HEDP round from the backpack. Placing the round into the weapon, he swivels the end of the weapon closed before grabbing the backpack off the ground. With some difficulty, Daisuke quickly gets to his feet and rushes off to get back to the others.

Running along the street, Yuki and Hideki are making their way towards a joining street as the remaining SHIELD agents chase after them. As their foes fire at them again, both soldiers round a corner onto the joining street and keep running for about twenty feet. They suddenly stop and turn around just as George starts to round the corner after them and he spots them aiming at him. Before the SHIELD agent can react, Yuki fires a single shot into his gut before a burst of rounds from Hideki strike the man with two bullets hitting him in the face.

G-Force: 4

SHIELD: 3

Hearing the other three agents coming, Yuki and Hideki quickly turn back around and start running down the street just as Nick Fury reaches the street. The two G-Force soldiers start to reach a nearby building as Yuki spots Daisuke as he gets onto the street about ten meters away. However, as Nick Fury leads the other two agents after the soldiers, Jimmy Woo spots the third soldier as they stop short and place the backpack onto the ground.

Not wasting a moment, Jimmy Woo stops as well and raises his H&K MP5k before firing a burst of rounds at the soldier. Despite his Kevlar Vest protecting him, Daisuke is unable to get the weapon up as another burst of rounds from the submachine gun strikes his head and he drops to the ground.

G-Force: 3

SHIELD: 3

As he looks towards the SHIELD agents, Yuki quickly spots the building and looks at Hideki as he motions with his hand towards the building. The soldier gives his leader a nod before both men take aim and fire their weapons at their enemies. Hideki is able to hit Jimmy Woo in the chest and manages to knock him on the ground with a cry of pain. However, Rick isn't so lucky as three bullets strikes the SHIELD agents in the chest and he collapses to the ground dead.

G-Force: 3

SHIELD: 2

While being shot at, Nick Fury is able to avoid being hit by the incoming rounds before he sees the two soldiers rushing to enter the building they are next to. Lifting up his Bushmaster ACR, the agents fires the rifle for a few seconds with at least one bullet managing to go into Hideki's leg as he enters the building. However, the bolt of the rifle stays locked open with Nick Fury quickly realizing he's out of ammo and kneels down to put the weapon on the ground.

Drawing his Glock 19, the lead SHIELD agent moves towards the building with caution as he keeps his pistol in front of him. After thirty seconds, the agent gets to the door and moves to in front of it with his pistol pointing into the doorway which shows an empty room. Seeing that there isn't anything, Nick Fury cautiously steps into the building as he goes to follow after the two remaining soldiers in the building.

After a minute of silence, Kuroki rushes onto the street with him now wielding a Howa Type 89 instead of his sniper rifle. Spotting the dead bodies on the street, he sees Jimmy Woo moving to stand up with the G-Force soldier running towards the man. Getting to him, Kuroki grabs Jimmy and helps him up a bit with the SHIELD agent looking at him in confusion.

However, both quickly hear the same inhuman screech from before which both men realize is coming from a nearby street.

As he keeps moving through the building, Nick Fury is in a hallway moving slowly as he keeps his Glock 19 close to his body. He keeps moving as he spies a nearby doorway with the door left open and he moves to be close to the entrance. Stopping for a moment, the SHIELD agent moves to in front of the doorway with his pistol pointed towards the room on the other side. However, he sees no one and starts to move a bit forward as a means to scan the room.

However, his arm is quickly grabbed and the man is pulled into the room by Hideki with the G-Force soldier powering through the pain in his leg. The soldier attempts to take the Glock 19 from him, but Nick Fury is able to hold onto it as he spies Yuki coming from behind out of the corner of his eye. As the G-Force leader draws his Beretta 92F, Nick Fury lifts his leg up and gives the man a kick to his stomach which knocks him back a bit.

Turning to the other soldier, the SHIELD agent gives him a headbutt which makes him stagger a bit before the man fires his pistol twice into his chest. Hideki cries out as the bullets hit his chest, but the rounds aren't able to pierce his Kevlar Vest. However, Nick Fury fires a third shot that hits the man in the head and causes him to collapse to the ground dead.

G-Force: 2

SHIELD: 2

Turning around, Nick Fury fires his Glock 19 at Yuki who rushes towards a nearby table on its side as he fires back with his Beretta 92F. Nearby being hit by one of the bullets, Nick Fury moves fast to get to a doorway into another room as he fires back before getting behind the wall. The G-Force soldier fires a few more shots at the wall but only two of the shots manage to break through the wall and nearly hit the agent.

Coming out from behind cover, Nick Fury fires five rounds from his weapon just as his adversary ducks behind the table to avoid the shots. As his opponent gets back to avoid more shots, Yuki holsters his pistol and draws his M7 Bayonet before rushing towards the doorway. The SHIELD agent comes out to fire again, but sees the G-Force soldier running to him and is unable to react when they grab his wrists.

However, Fury is able to lift his leg up and kicks the soldier back as he holsters his pistol while moving forward to his adversary. Looking up, Yuki quickly gets a left hook to his face and staggers back as his foe draws the Ka-Bar Knife from their utility belt. As the SHIELD agent advances, the G-Force soldier suddenly brings his leg into a spin as he kicks the man in his left side before moving forward. Despite the hit, Nick Fury is able to step back in time with the slash from the bayonet cutting him lightly across the chest and through his body suit.

Acting fast, the SHIELD agent is able to throw a punch at Yuki who reacts yet the man's fist doesn't make contact. Before the G-Force soldier can defend, Fury performs an upward slash that cuts into his foe's vest though not by much. Stumbling back a bit, the soldier sees the agent going for another slash that he sidesteps out of the way though not before his upper right arm gets cut. Going for his own slash, the G-Force soldier manages to cut the man across his right side before backing up as both men face each other.

However, a cracking noise is suddenly heard by the two men with Nick Fury being confused by the noise through he does notice where it's coming from. Realizing what the sound is, Yuki grabs the SHIELD agent by his arms and tossing the man towards the doorway that opens to the hallway. Rushing to the other side of the room, the G-Force soldier moves to grab his assault rifle just as something crashes through the back wall into the room.

Rolling over to get to his feet, Nick Fury is shocked upon his eyes seeing a large crab-like creature the size of a man standing there with dust covering its maroon colored exoskeleton. The creature stands on six legs similar in nature to those of a crustacean with its sporting a horned, crested head on a long neck. As the yellow eyes scanned over the room, its forked tail moved around as its looks towards the SHIELD agent.

However, the monster screeches out as bullets punch through its exoskeleton with yellow body fluids pouring out of its wounds. This manages to snap Fury out of his shock as he sees Yuki firing his Howa Type 89 at the monster and drawing its attention to him instead. As the agent gets to his feet, the soldier watches as energy gathers around the crests of the kaiju and into the multiple sets of mandibles that make up its mouth.

Waiting for a moment, Yuki dives out of the way as a white energy beam is shot from the monster's mandibles towards him with parts of the building exploding out as the Destroyah moves its ray towards the man. However, it stops as bullets hit its inner jaws and the kaiju screeches out as it turns towards Nick Fury with his Glock 19 in hand. Looking at the man, the soldier sees the agent fire two more shots as he uses his free hand to motion towards the door.

Not wasting a moment, Yuki rushes to the door and runs into the hallway as Nick Fury fires two more rounds as the creature gathers energy again. The SHIELD agent runs down the hall as the energy ray strikes where he was and destroys the wall as he and the G-Force soldier make a mad dash for the outside of the building. As the kaiju lets out another cry, both men turn to into another hallway and run towards an open door on the other side of it. By the time they hear parts of the walls come crashing down behind them, they reach the door with Yuki leading Nick Fury out of the doorway.

Finding themselves back onto the street, they look around before both men spot Jimmy Woo and Kuroki standing about fifteen meters away with the solder having the Howa 84RR. Hearing the creature again, both Yuki and Nick Fury dash towards their comrades in arm as Jimmy Woo loads a fresh magazine into a Bushmaster ACR. Both leaders are able to get about twenty feet from the building before the Destroyah comes through the front of the building without much difficulty.

Seeing the two men focus on the creature, Fury grabs Yuki and pulls him down as he dives for the ground as the creature turns towards the four men. However, Jimmy fires the Bushmaster ACR with the burst striking the kaiju and causing it to cry out. This gives Kuroki enough time to fire the Howa 84RR with the HEDP round zooming over the two leaders before it strikes the monster. Almost instantly, the Destroyah explodes with its head and parts of its body being shredded by the round and causing the remains to collapse to the ground.

As the two leaders start to get up, Jimmy Woo picks up the large backpack on the ground as he and Kuroki head over to their comrades to make sure they're alright. Both men reach the two as Yuki and Nick Fury get to their feet with them being alright despite being a bit shaken.

That's when more screeches rang out in the night.

As the four men look at their surroundings, they prepare their weapons with Jimmy Woo giving his leader the rifle as he switches back to his H&K MP5k. Both Yuki and Nick Fury look at each other before they nod in silent agreement. The immediate threat was no longer the other team, rather the other kaiju they now had to deal with.

Final Verdict: Despite both of these two government agencies that often battle extraordinary threats being willing to fight to the death, when it came down to the wire the battle resulted in a draw with a possible outcome of 5 out of 10 battles for both warriors. Going backwards, the edges in the x-factors were all slight with G-Force having audacity while SHIELD taking the remaining categories. This means that SHIELD had the better training and experience in comparison with their tenacity possibly being a good counter for G-Force and their audacity. However, the opposite is true when it comes to the weapons though neither warrior was able to claim long range. Despite SHIELD taking a slight edge in pistols and a solid edge in medium range, G-Force was able to take solid edges in close range, sniper rifles, and special weapons. This gives G-Force more weapons that could end the fight in close quarters and at longer ranges with them also claiming armor which neutralizes many of the weapons used by SHIELD. However, when looked at as a whole, this means that SHIELD can make up for their more lacking weapons with x-factors while G-Force could even out these same x-factors with their better weapons and armor. In the end, the better training and experience of SHIELD combined with their medium range weapons were able to balance out the more audacious G-Force along with their better weapons and armor.

Got a battle you want to see? Tell me and I'll see if I can get it into the series! Next time, the reptilian foes from Hyrule take on the demon slayers of the Dreadlands.

Ray Tanaka: Hey, everyone! This took longer than I wanted, but I finally got a battle finished and one of the first I came up with for my old Deadliest Warrior story. I have wanted to do this fight for years since I started writing and I finally gotten to do this fight. Yet, in a first for both this and the Historical Series, it ended up being a draw. Got to be honest, I didn't see this coming though I am looking forward to the opinion of others on this one. I could see either side winning and arguments for why, but I simply found myself at an impasse since the weapons and armor of G-Force and the x-factors for SHIELD really make this fight hard to decide. Speaking of weapons, this fight has come a long way from the earliest version of it in Deadliest Warrior.

When I first had this idea planned, I had G-Force with the M16A1 Rifle for long range and the M72 LAW for special weapons while SHIELD had the Derringer for close range, the Glock 18 for pistols, the AA-12 for medium range, and Barrett M82 for sniper rifles. However, the more I looked into the JSDF and their weapons, the more I was willing to switch those two weapons out for the Howa Type 89 and Howa 84RR. Basically, the same reasons as to last time why I didn't use the M16A1 applies here along with the Howa 84RR being more suitable for this fight over the M72 LAW. As for SHIELD, I switched the pistol more due to lack of sources showing them using the Glock 18 variant though I could have used the FN Five-Seven like last time. Probably wouldn't make a difference, but still. The other two weapons were changed since I felt a submachine gun gave a better comparison to the Minebea PM-9 and I actually found more evidence to suggest the use of the H&K G3SG/1 over the Barrett M82.

I did have the Derringer remaining on this fight for a long time, but lack of evidence and me realizing it probably wouldn't be useful to them made me replace it with the Ka-Bar Knife. Now, I know some people would ask why I changed the armor worn by G-Force in terms of its strength. Basically, that was an error on my part. See, I had forgot that G-Force was a military unit and gave them armor that fell more in line with what their opponents may have had than what a military unit would. As such, I gave them armor of a slightly higher rating to show them more as a military unit rather than law enforcement or a similar role. In addition, I did specify the system used for the armors since I feel that it helps give an idea for what I'm going for. I do intend on doing that from now on, though using the systems of other countries when it applies to the situation.

Final thing to mention for this fight is that I had the idea on including a Destroyah from the outset and I did manage to incorporate that pretty well into the fight. In fact, I think having that be part of it helped me come up with the ending since it gave both teams a reason to stop fighting each other and stopped the fight having both sides just die without a victor. As for next time, we have another Legend of Zelda warrior along with a warrior that I felt inspired to use thanks to Metal Harbinger using them in his series. Hope you all enjoy!
