Bryant: Blood is thicker than water. A phrase saying that the bonds one has with family is stronger than the ones they have with friends.
Thea: But these two prove that not only is water sometimes thicker than blood, you can kick ass with it!
Bryant: Percy Jackson, the Hero of Olympus.
Thea: And Noelle Silva, the Valkyrie's Legacy.
Bryant: For this battle, we'll be analyzing Percy at the end of Heroes of Olympus, and Noelle at the end of the anime.
Thea: This means feats, abilities, and weaknesses. No Curse of Achilles, no Mermaid Form or whatever it was.
Bryant: I'm Bryant Reese.
Thea: And I'm Thea Price.
Bryant: And we're here to analyse these two fighters and find out who would win, a WI Battle!
-Line Break-
Percy Jackson:
Bryant: A half-blood of the eldest gods, shall reach sixteen against all odds, and see the world in endless sleep. The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap. A single choice shall end his days, Olympus to preserve or raze. This was the Great Prophecy. The Prophecy that would determine the fate of the gods.
Thea: Yeah, so apparently the Ancient Greek Gods are still alive and around. This included the Big Three. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.
Bryant: When the prophecy was revealed, the gods immediately decided that it would involve one of the Big Three's children. In an attempt to fight fate, the Big Three swore an oath saying that they would no longer have any children.
Thea: So of course, one of them ended up sticking it into a girl, and had a baby. That's the cliche at the very least, but turns out, there were actually six candidates. Not one, not two, not even three! But six. Makes you wonder if they're really trying to prevent the Apocalypse.
Bryant: Well, to be fair, only three of those six broke the oath. The other three, Nico and Bianca Di Angelo, and their half-sister Hazel Levesque, were from several decades before the other three, and were born before the prophecy was revealed. Zeus was, unhappy to say the least.
Thea: Which he really didn't have the right to, since he's the one responsible for two of the remaining three who were born after the oath. And since he was the dad of two of the three, he targeted the last especially. Perseus Jackson. You can just call him Percy, only enemies and the gods call him Perseus.
Bryant: Percy was a regular kid. He liked games, movies, skateboarding, and hated school. Though his life was anything but pleasant.
Thea: Yeah, his entire life sucked. He never graduated from a single school. Not from a lack of trying mind you, he just kept getting expelled. Not from a knack of trying mind you. Things just seemed to happen for no reason. His step-dad Gabe was an abusive, gross, drunken, greedy d*ck, bullies always bothered him, teachers hated him, and to top it all off, he had a really, really bad case of ADHD and dyslexia. But it was in the sixth grade that his life really turned for both the better, and the worst. When a freak accident resulted in his classmate/bully, Nancy Bobofit, getting dunked in a fountain, Percy found out that his math teacher, Ms Dodds, was actually a monster! Just like my math teacher.
Bryant: This, monster, was a Fury. A minion of Hades. Specifically, it was Alecto the Angry.
Thea: Sounds like a math teacher to me.
Bryant: Alecto was Percy's first, real introduction to the world of Monsters and Gods, and he learned that he was a half-blood, or a demi-god. Specifically, he was the son of Poseidon, the God of the Sea. After finding this out, he was taken to Camp Half-Blood for his safety and training.
Thea: There, Percy learned that he wasn't alone in this world, and that he was actually a bad-ass hero. Most of the kids there didn't get to go on quests, since it was too dangerous and all that, but Percy goes on one almost every damn year. Saving his mom and retrieving a lightning bolt in his first quest. Retrieving a Golden Fleece on his second quest. Saving the Goddess of the Moon, Artemis in his third quest! Helping find the Mad Genius Daedelus in his fourth quest! Saving Olympus in his fifth quest! And those were just the ones that came with prophecies! Like geez! Give the kid a break!
Bryant: Fortunately, Percy is an expert of sword fighting, easily one of the best in the world, be it amongst the Greeks, Romans, or even Egyptians. He's skilled in fighting in one-handed sword combat, two-handed sword combat, and sword-and-shield combat. He often uses the environment to his advantage, rather than relying on purely his own abilities, via usage of traps, obstacles, and baiting.
Thea: He's especially capable of cutting monsters down with his signature sword. Anaklumos, aka Riptide. This sword is made of Celestial Bronze, a magic metal that was made to hurt supernatural beings like demi-gods, monsters, gods, Titans, Giants, magicians, etc. This sword was a gift from his pa, and can turn into a pen whenever he wants, just by having its cap touch the tip. And if he loses it, it just reappears in his pocket.
Bryant: It also helps that he has a demi-god's natural biology. As we mentioned before, he possesses dyslexia and ADHD. In the world of demi-gods, these traits actually mean something else. His dyslexia is his brain automatically translating things, as it was hard-wired for Ancient Greek. And his ADHD is actually his natural battle instincts, always keeping him ready for a fight. But any demi-god can use a sword. Percy has several more abilities due to his heritage.
Thea: Remember, he's the son of Poseidon. And being the son of Poseidon means he can do all the things with water. He can create giant waves, lift water into the air, make giant hands and whirlpools, breath and talk underwater, pull water from a person's lungs, and summon salt water from underground. He can also heal and re-energize himself with water, talk to fish and horses, and even manipulate liquid-based poisons created and controlled by Akhlys. He also isn't negatively affected by water, so even if you were to drop the entire ocean on his head, he won't even feel it. Even if he drops from the top of a tower into the water, he won't be even a little hurt, or wet for that matter. If anything, it's just going to make him stronger, especially if it's sea water. In fact, we know that he gets a way bigger boost from sea water than fresh water, since he can feel really tired when he goes from sea to river, even though they both give him a boost.
Bryant: But his abilities aren't just limited to the sea. He can create powerful earthquakes, shatter icebergs, put regular humans after minor illusions with Mist, create mini hurricanes, scare away weak-willed opponents with the Wolf Stare, and even has limited clairvoyance, though it only happens when he's asleep. He can withstand the heat of lava and even lightning with minor burns, and has even withstood the effects of Backbiter, a weapon stated to be capable of ripping out souls.
Thea: Damn, not bad! Percy's super strong, super fast, and super tough. He can cut arrows in mid-air and deflect bullets. He's as fast, if not faster than Jason Grace. Jason is the son of Zeus, and he managed to deflect lightning. Lightning! That moves at Mach 286!
Bryant: We know that Jason deflected actual lightning, as he was fighting storm spirits, which are often described to be like actual storms. It was stated in the book, 'The Lost Hero', that the spirit was close enough for Jason to stab it with a single step. Assuming that it was seven feet away, Jason had to have reacted to the lightning bolt in 0.00002169 seconds. That's equal to him reacting to something moving over 322,729.368 mph, or Mach 420.
Thea: Nice.
Bryant: As Percy is considered to be his equal in battle, he should be able to react to speeds around this much.
Thea: Damn, that's fast! But what about power? He's comparable to Hazel, who sank a small island! Percy himself made an iceberg shatter! Wait, he's the one responsible for the melting ice caps?!
Bryant: To be more specific, he destroyed several hundred acres of the Hubbard Glacier, which is 600 feet tall. Assuming he destroyed a minimum of two hundred acres, which is an area of 809371 meters, he had to have destroyed about 4,856,226,001,180 centimeters of ice. The force needed to fragment ice is about 0.5271 joules per cubic centimeter. This means he had to have exerted a total of almost 2,559,716,725,222 joules of energy. That's equal to over 3 kilotons of TNT.
Thea: You think that's a lot? He made a mountain explode! The mountain he made explode was Mount St. Helens. The mountain already blew up in 1980, which was a class five eruption, and calculated to be 1,600 times stronger than the bomb that dropped on Hiroshima. Several thousand times stronger than when he broke the iceberg! And he was in the middle of that eruption! And since he did this with his more limited earth manipulation, he can probably do more with his primary water powers.
Bryant: Suffice to say, Percy can be considered to be the most powerful demi-gods amongst the Greeks and Romans.
Thea: Hell yeah. Percy has done things well worth labelling him a legend in Greek History. When he was a baby, a baby, he strangled a snake to death. He killed Alecto with a single swing of a sword, despite it being his first time holding one, killed the Minotaur with his bare hands by ripping off its horn and impaing it with it, survived a hell-hound ripping his chest open, cut off Medusa's head, shook off the mind control of the Lotus Hotel and Casino, tricked Procrustes, and defeated Ares, the literal God of War, in one-on-one combat. All in his first year of being a demi-god!
Bryant: Percy has decapitated a Hydra, survived being in the same car as Thalia Grace, figured out how to defeat the Nemean Lion, held up the sky, easily defeated the Minotaur in their rematch, led the defense against Kronos, the Titan King, tanked lightning bolts to the chest and was barely affected, lifted up an entire river of water with ease, *gasp* retrieved the Roman Legion's Standard, held back entire armies on his own several times, matched both Hyperion and Kronos in battle, defeated Polybotes, helped defend Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood, defeated the likes of Jason Grace, Carter Kane, Ethan Nakamura, and Clarisse La Rue, and is regularly referred to as the most powerful demi-god in history. Whew!
Thea: And he also survived the pits of Tartarus, which is like Hell's hell. While down there, he killed Arachne, gorgons, and a countless amount of Arai's, which are living curses given flesh. Every time he killed one, he was inflicted by a curse bestowed on him by his defeated enemies. He's defeated a lot, as you can probably tell. Some by shooting an arrow through their sides, some by poison, some by eye twitch. Wait, what?
Bryant: But don't overestimate Percy. He may be the ultimate hybrid of human and god, but this also means he's twice as vulnerable. And while he may have survived mountains exploding, he can still be killed by a bullet or arrow. He can still be affected by poisons, and while he can breath under most waters, he can't breath in waters with a large amount of sediment in it, like muskeg, or in waters that have been cursed. He tends to be hot-blooded, and impulsive. And if he uses his demi-god powers for too long, he can quickly run out of stamina.
Thea: Still, Percy Jackson is way too powerful for to be underestimated. He's going to save the day like he always has, no matter what he's up against. All while being a relatable goofball!
(Percy) With great power… comes a great need to take a nap.
-Line Break-
Noelle Silva:
Bryant: In the kingdom of Clover, there exists several royal families. One of these families is the House of Silva. Each member of the Silva family were all a part of the Silver Eagles, one of the highest ranking squads of the Clover Kingdom's Magic Knights.
Thea: The Magic Knights are kinda like super-powered soldiers, who can use magic! Naturally, as one of the highest ranking squads, the Silver Eagles have a lot of powerful knights. And the Silvas were some of the most respected, with powerful kids. Except for one. Noelle Silva.
Bryant: Noelle had it rough from the start. Her mother, Acier Silva, died from the curse she received from the high level Devil Megicula. As the curse was fatal to anyone who either had it or spoke of it, her eldest son, who knew of the curse, was forced to stay quiet, leaving Noelle to take the blame of her mother's death. As such, Noelle spent nearly her entire childhood completely miserable.
Thea: Didn't her brother Solid, aka Mr Trashy Boy, try to drown her at one point? I think miserable is a little bit of an understatement.
Bryant: Things got even worse when they discovered that Noelle couldn't control her magic. Every attempt that she tried, her magic would spiral out of control. She would try to control her magic by channeling it into watery spells, but every time she would use it, it would misfire. As a result, Noelle was the first Silva to be rejected by her brother, and was instead booted to the lowest of the lowest Magic Knight Squad: the Black Bulls.
Thea: And this ended up being the best thing that ever happened to her! During her time with the Black Bulls, Noelle didn't just learn how to control her magic with the help of them and a magic being named Bruce, she learned what it meant to have a family. And a crush in the form of the main protagonist, Asta.
Bryant: Noelle and Asta would go on to help the Black Bulls rise up in the ranks, with the entire squad managing to boot the Silver Eagles down and take the second spot after only a few missions, despite them having negative stars. And these were far from the only stars they would obtain, as their adventures only continued.
Thea: Noelle definitely proved she can hold her own. Turns out, the reason why she couldn't control her magic was because she had way too much! And when she learned to control it, she learned to fight with both that and a combination of her Grimoire and her wand.
Bryant: Every Magic Knight has a Grimoire, which enhances the user's ability to use magic, as well as keeping track of their spells. A Grimoire is connected to their user, meaning that a mage cannot use another's Grimoire, and the Grimoire disappears when the user dies. Noelle's Grimoire in particular increases the power of her Water-Creation Magic, magic which primarily focuses on creating water constructs. And her wand allows her to control the magic, channeling it into several powerful magic techniques to use in battle. While she mostly uses her magic in the form of her signature Sea Dragon's Waterball, she's since learned far more powerful techniques.
Thea: Her first technique is the Sea Dragon's Nest. This technique is defensive, and creates a giant dome of water that lets her block attacks from the likes of Vetto, a dude strong enough to rival Magic Knight Captains, who are like the super-soldiers of Magic Knights, and defeated over 50 Magic Knights like nothing. With her next technique, the Sea Dragon's Cradle, she can create a large bubble of air that can negate water pressure and whirlpools, allowing for easy underwater travel. But when Noelle gets really serious, she busts out the Sea Dragon's Roar.
Bryant: With this technique, Noelle creates a massive dragon made of water. This technique is undoubtedly her most powerful attack, and while she originally could only use the technique once a day, she has since been able to use it several times a day, though she's still limited in how much she can use it at a time.
Thea: You know, a lot of Shonen animes definitely aren't in the same league as some of the older ones. But in shows like Black Clover at least makes the female protagonist useful. *cough* Sakura Haruno *cough*.
Bryant: Sakura's not that bad.
Thea: Oh yeah-?!
Bryant: Stop talking about other animes and focus.
Thea: Fine. Anyways, Noelle was definitely a great addition to the Black Bulls, but she would only become even better with her ultimate technique.
Bryant: Turns out, her oldest brother Nozel actually loved her. So much that his fellow Magic Captain, Dorothy Unsworth, described him as someone who fawns endlessly on her.
Thea: The reason Nozel pretended to hate his sister and told her that she was weak was to ensure that she wouldn't be in danger of dying like their mom. But when the two teamed up to protect their douchebag siblings, Nozel realized that he was being a b*tch, and that his baby sister was actually really strong. Right before he got stabbed in the back by some giant compass needles. Oh-kay? Whoa, whoa, wait. Does this douchebag think that he can just say sorry, and the entire childhood of physical, mental and emotional abuse will just disappear? She was nearly drowned by her brother! She's scared to even look at him in the face! I like that she was acknowledged by her brother and all, but that doesn't excuse him!
Bryant: Regardless of the fact, receiving the acknowledgement she always longed for from the sibling she admired the most changed Noelle and strengthened her will. When her brother fell, and the task of protecting her family became her sole role in the battle, she unlocked a new spell. The Valkyrie Dress. Inherited from her mother, the Valkyrie Dress allows Noelle to fly at high speeds and use a lance made of spiralling water. This lance allows her to drill through powerful attacks and use offensive spells. This technique has actually been compared to her mother's, who Noelle resembles closely.
Thea: But she doesn't always need her Valkyrie Dress to fight. She can cover herself with Mana Skin and increase her speed with Leg Strength Boost. These two techniques let her traverse the insides of a volcano, where temperatures can reach up to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit!
Bryant: Noelle is no slouch in battle. She possesses enough magic power to shake the entire Seabed Temple and even match the power of the artificial boy of Fana the Hateful with her Sea Dragon's Roar.
Thea: Damn, that's a badass name.
Bryant: Fana's was able to burn down an entire forest of witches in one go. By looking at the size of the forest, which had trees with an average height of 254 meters judging by the size of the witches and their houses, we could see that the energy needed to create this much fire is about 13.6 megatons of TNT. She's also capable of surviving this level of power, which puts her durability in similar ranges.
Thea: Damn, now that's power. And yeah, she fought Fana's reincarnated Elf Form, but she had the advantage thanks to Water Magic countering Fire Magic. But what about speed? In her Valkyrie Dress, she should be able to match Asta, who can deflect lasers from Gauche, a guy who likes his sister a bit too much.
Bryant: When we look at the distance between the two, we can see that they're about ten feet away from each other. This means that Asta can react to attacks in 0.00000001 seconds, yes I'm serious. Which puts his reaction speed at about 341 million miles per hour. Noelle should be able to perform similar levels of speed.
Thea: Damn! That's fast! The fastest plane in the world can only go up to 2,100 mph. Noelle's over 160 thousand times faster than that!
Bryant: Noelle has proven herself worthy of being her mother's successor several times. She was able to heavily damage Vetto, when barely anyone else managed to. She protected many innocent civilians, completely overwhelmed her douchebag brother in direct combat, was chosen to be a Royal Magic Knight as result of this battle, and helped lead the charge against the elves. She was even able to defeat one elf who even Nozel, the supposed strongest of the Silva siblings, couldn't, and defeat several more elves afterwards with the help of her fellow Black Bull, Zora.
Thea: She even has one of the best track records in the group, having won most of her fights while the rest were only interrupted by others. But she can't do it all. One weakness she has is that she isn't immune to other water magic, or her own water. She had to be saved by Asta and the Black Bulls from drowning in her own water bubble. Bummer.
Bryant: She also has a limited pool of magic, and can't recover magic quickly on her own. This means that if she can't get access to additional aid in tough pinches, she risks running out of magic, leaving her extremely vulnerable, as she relies heavily on her magic.
Thea: Still, Noelle is easily one of the best fighters in the Black Bulls. She won't run, even in the face of death. She's grown a lot, and she'll keep growing. She'll stand and fight, no matter what she will have to face. All while being an adorable tsundere.
(Noelle) Sorry, but I'm not dancing elegantly. I'm desperately struggling and fighting, forcing my way forward!
-Line Break-
Bryant: Alright, the stage is set, time to start this dance.
Thea: Battle ready, set, GO!
-Line Break-
"Is, is this the place?" Noelle asked no one as she walked up to the beach. Her brother Nozel had told her to train with someone to help master her abilities. Peter Johnson? That's why she's here at the beach.
"Hello there!" Percy said from behind Noelle, making her yelp in surprise as she whirled around. The tall teen grinned at him.
"So, are you ready for this training session?" he asked. The silver haired girl huffed but stood at ready.
"Yessir Peter Johnson!" Percy's smile was immediately replaced with an unhappy frown.
"Really? Just, really?!" he complained. Noelle looked at him in confusion as he shook his head.
"Whatever. Let's just do this." Percy said. Noelle nodded as she pulled out her Grimoire and Wand. Percy pulled out his pen, uncapping it and revealing it to be a bronze sword.
Show the world what you can do!
Fight!
"Sea Dragon's Waterball!" Noelle called as she held her wand forward. Water gathered at the tip of the wand and fired forward in a ball of pressurized water. Percy held up his sword and slashed through the ball, charging forward with his sword. Noelle continued to fire more spheres towards Percy, the demi-god continuously blocking the attacks. Noelle growled under her breath and fired a more focused stream of water. Percy stopped and put his sword up, skidding back as the water pushed him backwards. He grunted as he swung his sword and dispersed it. Noelle waved her wand and fired several more spheres. Percy looked up and charged forward, flipping over them before bringing his sword down, slashing Noelle several times before kicking her away. Noelle flipped back onto her feet and continued to fire several magic attacks. Percy ran to the side, dodging most of them before sending the last sphere back towards Noelle, who intercepted with another magic sphere.
"Sea Dragon's Waterfall!" Noelle yelled as she sent many more spheres forward. Percy pulled up water from the sea, bringing it up as a whirlpool that Percy used to block the water. He sent the water over to Noelle, who focused magic into her legs and dashed around the whirlpool. She formed more spheres and shot them towards Percy. Percy used Riptide to break the spheres apart and slammed his hand on the ground. A small earthquake startled Noelle as she stumbled. A burst of seawater shot from the ground, sending her flying through the air. She landed on her back, but quickly got up. She whirled around to try to use another sphere, but she didn't see Percy.
"Where did he-?" Noelle yelped as a water tendril shot out and wrapped around her leg, throwing her into the sea. Percy shot out of the water and slammed both feet into Noelle, sending her flying further. Noelle raised her wand and fired more spheres of water towards Percy, who dived back underwater. Noelle splashed into the water, looking up to see Percy shooting towards her. She raised her wand and formed a massive air bubble around her. Percy yelped as he burst through the wall of the bubble and slammed into the ground.
"Sea Dragon's Cradle!" Noelle said. She pointed her wand towards Percy again and fired more spheres of water. Percy lifted up his hands, pulling the water in the sand to form a wall. The spheres dispersed against the wall, splashing harmlessly. Percy pushed the wave towards Noelle, who channeled mana into her feet. She zipped around Percy and slammed a foot into his side, sending him towards the wall. She shot more spheres towards Percy, who shot through the bubble. Percy looked back as Noelle stayed in the bubble.
"Wow, this girl is good! If I didn't know better, I'd say she's a son of Poseidon too! Wait, no, she would be a daughter of Poseidon." Percy sweatdropped before holding up Riptide. Water gathered around him and he fired himself towards the bubble. He skimmed the surface with his sword, cutting a large gash in the skin and letting large amounts of water into the bubble. Noelle shrieked at the sight but recovered and made another barrier of water.
"Sea Dragon's Nest!" she said as the barrier blocked the water. Percy shot down towards the barrier and brought his sword down on the barrier, but yelped as he was sent back through the water. Percy looked down at the barrier.
"Okay, let's do this." Percy raised his sword and slashed downwards, sending a blade of water towards the barrier. The blade slammed into the barrier, making it ripple slightly. "It's tough!"
"Let me show you the power of the Silva Family!" Noelle declared as a large amount of water magic gathered at the tip of her wand. Percy channeled water under his feet and shot forward, curving around the barrier and shooting towards her. Noelle aimed her attack.
"Take this! Sea Dragon's Roar!" Noelle called out. A massive dragon made of water shot out of her wand, charging towards Percy with a roar.
"Woah! Awesome!" Percy said as he held Riptide out in front of him. A large whirlpool formed around him, creating a funnel that slammed into the dragon, creating a large explosion of water. Noelle held an arm up to her face, before putting it down as the water settled. She gasped in shock as Percy appeared in front of her and slashed down as hard as he could, cutting the barrier open. Noelle kicked the sand in front of her, startling Percy as the water filled the barrier. Percy waved the sand away, only to hold up his sword and block a water lance. Percy grunted as he was pushed back, cutting through the water. Noelle let out a triumphant yell as the two burst out of the water and Percy was sent into the air. Noelle charged towards Percy and sent him flying through the air with a slash of her lance. Percy grunted as he bounced on top of the water before stopping himself with a wave. He stood on the water as he held up Riptide.
"Okay then." Percy muttered. He thrusted his hand forward, the wave following his command and carrying him towards Noelle. Noelle charged towards Percy, and the two clashed their weapons against each other. Noelle yelled as she sent Percy through the air. The demi-god spun and summoned a large amount of water to catch himself, going under water. He raised his hand and slashed it downwards, cleaving the sea in half. Noelle gaped at the sight. Percy thrusted his hands up, sending the two halves of the water up towards her, separating into several tendrils that shot towards her. Noelle quickly flew around the burst of water before coming to a stop and swinging her lance around, slashing them apart. Percy waved his hands, sending multiple typhoons towards Noelle. The Valkyrie flew through the air, weaving between the water spouts and slashing through several again. Percy spun in place as the water came crashing down on him, creating another typhoon that sent him above the water. He stood on top of a water spout as a mini hurricane formed around him. Noelle flew up and looked at the storm.
"Incredible. Just what kind of magic can he use?" Noelle muttered. She charged towards Percy, doing her best to push through the storm, yelling as she was hurled back. She huffed and flew up, above the hurricane. She shot down the center towards Percy, who looked up and held up Riptide. The sword and lance collided, dispersing the storm. Noelle flew back before flying back for another stab. Percy gritted his teeth and grunted as he blocked another hit. Noelle flew in circles around Percy as they slashed wildly at each other, their blades colliding as they attacked and defended. Percy pushed Noelle back with a thrust of his hand, calling up more water spouts to attack her. Noelle yelped as she was hit in the back, getting hit again as Percy created a whirlpool to slam into her. She flew back, quickly recovering as she adjusted herself in the air.
"Surpass your limits." she muttered to herself as she flew high above Percy and shot down towards him. Percy looked up and commanded more water to fire towards Noelle. She quickly spun from side to side, dodging as she came down at Percy. Percy held up Riptide to block another thrust, crying out as the water under him gave out. Noelle aimed her lance at his chest as she gathered water around it.
"Point-Blank Sea Dragon's Roar!" she yelled, the dragon forming around Percy with a roar and slamming its jaws down, flying into the sky before exploding with a massive burst of water, sending it raining down around her. Noelle breathed a sigh of relief, but gasped as she looked up. Percy fell down along with the rain, holding Riptide in both hands. Noelle gritted her teeth as she charged up, swinging her lance to intercept Riptide. The two fighters pushed each other back, Percy landing in the water as Noelle stayed in the air, readying herself for another attack. Percy stood on the surface as he looked up.
"Your armor's pretty good. You shouldn't rely on it too much though." Percy said as he held his arm up. Noelle made to attack again, but blinked and strained her muscles as it seemed that she couldn't move.
"Wh-what?!"
"Son of Poseidon. Water stuff is kinda my thing." Percy said. Noelle groaned as she struggled to point her lance towards Percy.
"I, won't, lose!" she yelled as she sent another Sea Dragon's Roar. Percy dropped Riptide as he held his other hand up, causing the Dragon's Roar to explode and go back to Noelle, surrounding her. Noelle struggled to hold her breath as she and Percy struggled against each other. Noelle gasped as bubbles burst from her mouth, and she lost her breath. Struggling more as the Valkyrie Dress faded, her eyes slowly closed as her movements stopped. Percy quickly let the watery prison drop and caught Noelle using a smaller typhoon and bringing her to him. He looked at her and held a hand over her chest, bringing it up. Water dribbled out from between her lips, and she began to breath. Percy breathed a sigh of relief.
"Man, that was close."
KO!
Thea: Looks like the Valkyrie fell to the Olympian, that was awesome!
Bryant: Noelle certainly put up a good fight. Being who she is and the fact that she can be considered a magic being, this means she should be able to see through the Mist and resist the Wolf Glare. Her immense speed and flight advantage most certainly helped her out as well.
Thea: She can scale to Asta, which puts her at 341 million miles an hour! That's Mach 444,433! That makes her over 1,050 times faster than Percy!
Bryant: Such a massive gap in speed would've earned her the win, if she wasn't fighting someone like Percy.
Thea: Noelle had one to two advantages, but Percy had more. Like training, skill, and experience! Noelle's childhood was filled with people just bullying her and just slamming their heads on a brick wall, and she didn't make any progress until she joined the Black Bulls.
Bryant: Percy, on the other hand, is one of the greatest sword fighters in his universe who has fought just about every monster in Greek legend. While he may not have fought anyone exactly like Noelle, Noelle hasn't either, and Percy's greater experience would leave him to be more adaptable, especially since he's regularly able to figure out an opponent's weakness and how to exploit it while taking away their strength.
Thea: Not to mention his natural battle instincts. One of Percy's greatest advantages was his greater arsenal and control over his powers. While both were extremely powerful, Noelle has never shown any feats like being able to pull water directly from a person's lungs like Percy had. I mean, all her magic techniques were all meant to use as much magic as possible with the exception of Valkyrie Dress. Precision isn't really something she's going to be using.
Bryant: While Noelle had a finite pool of magic, Percy could revitalize and heal himself with water, be it the ones he summoned from the ground or Noelle's magic spells, as he has been revitalized by magic water before in the form of the Little Tiber, which washed away the Curse of Achilles.
Thea: Not to mention, Percy could potentially control Noelle's magic techniques like he did with Akhlys, while Noelle has never shown to be able to do something like that. This means he could just counter and redirect her attacks. But it's not actually that easy, since he would only be able to do this if he could overpower Noelle's own control over her water. Which brings this down to a competition between power. Make sense, since Percy is considered to be the most powerful demi-god in his universe, and Noelle's power was the reason she couldn't control her magic when she was younger.
Bryant: Noelle's magic was equal in power to Fana's. Fana's fireball, based on the scaling we did in the manga by comparing it to the trees in the Witch's Forest, would need an energy equal to 13.6 megatons of TNT. That's close to a thousand times the power of the atomic bomb that dropped on Hiroshima, which has an explosive yield close to 15 kilotons. In contrast, Percy was able to make Mount St. Helens erupt. A similar eruption occurred in 1980, which was calculated to be 1,600 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. That comes out to be 24 megatons of TNT.
Thea: Percy definitely had more power, and that wasn't even with water. But Percy's biggest advantage was the fact that Noelle, couldn't hurt him. Sea Dragon Roar, Valkyrie Dress, they wouldn't be able to hurt Percy. He's the son of Poseidon, the literal god of the sea! Even if we said she used fresh water instead of sea water like she clearly says, it would still heal him and give him a power boost.
Bryant: Percy has nearly been drowned by water before, but the two kinds of water he almost drowned in were completely different from Noelle's. The first one was muskeg, which was less water and more liquid soil.
Thea: The second one was cursed water that was specifically meant to drown him. Noelle didn't have that kind of water up her sleeves, and she couldn't create that kind of water since she used Creation Magic. And she has nearly died from her own water before, and since she can be considered a 'magic being' Riptide would be able to hurt her.
Bryant: Noelle is certainly a powerful Magic Knight, more than worthy of being called one the most powerful. And the combination of her speed and mobility was certainly enough to keep ahead of Percy for a while. But Percy's greater experience, skill, training, immunities, controls, and power gave him the things he needed to counter that speed and pull ahead.
Thea: Noelle did her best, but once Percy got in the groove, the battle was all Clover. Which means the winner of this WI Battle is Percy Jackson!
And there we are. Noelle and Percy went head to head in battle, and Percy came out on top. Tell me what you think, what you think could be better, stuff like that. If you have a request, leave it below. As per the usual, leave a review! Azure out!
Thea: Are we really doing this?
Bryant: Don't interrupt, we need to put more time between certain matchups with certain franchises.
Thea: *Sigh* Fine.
A girl dressed in a blue and white dress walked through an icy forest, humming slightly to herself as she played with her braid. An icy wind swept through the woods, stopping her as she looked around. A teen dressed in a blue hoodie and brown trousers squatted on a tree nearby, holding a hooked staff.
"So. You're the girl pretending to be the spirit of ice." he said. The girl looked up to him.
"I am the spirit of ice." she said. The boy laughed as he stood up, holding his staff at the ready.
"We'll see about that."
