Everyone watched in awe as Issei decided to perform a fire show, charging flames from his palms as he launched them into the air, then his eyes shifted to green slits as he began to move his hands, controlling the flames like a firework.
He then launched them higher and he let lose a fiery breath which met the two orb. With a snap of his fingers, they exploded in a fiery explosion with the sky saying: "GREMORY 4 LIFE!"
"That's amazing, Issei!" Rias said with a starry-eyed smile.
"Thanks! With inspiration from that battle, a little help from Ddraig and Showman, I can use dragon's fire in this form! Perfect for roasting dicks alive and burning off clothes!" he said with a laugh.
Some of the girls just shook their head in amusement. They were pretty much immune to his perverted tendencies.
"So anyways, shall we head back?" Kiba asked and soon everyone left the viewing dimension, along with Issei, who was feeling even more fired up than ever before.
"Sairorg, you better eat your heart out! Imma burn your ass till it loks like a well-done steak!" Issei thought with a grin.
At the end of school, everyone met at the OCR building.
"You know, I think that new Balance Breaker had a different effect." Akeno said with a smile.
Azazel raised a brow.
"How so?"
Issei decided to speak.
"I feel even faster than ever! I managed to do 10 laps and I wasn't exhausted! I feel extremely fired up!" He said as he let a wide smile show.
"Must be the use of dragon's fire. They are known for being creatures of fiery passion and are ferocious. It must be affecting you in this way." Azazel reasoned with a finger on his chin.
"Either way, let's get to the viewing of the next battle." Shawn said as everyone entered the viewing room.
"Issei, it's time. Spin the wheel for the next battle!" Showman said as issei spun it with all his might.
As the wheel spun, everyone eagerly watched as it slowed down as it then reached the final mark: Issei 2.
"Huh. A repeat with Rias." Asia spoke in shock.
"Yep. So which match is it going to be?"
"Well, let's see. It's trailer time!" Showman said as he played it.
A figure was seen flying through the sky. When it landed, it showed a being in red and gold. All it said was this.
"My Turn."
(AC/DC - Shoot to Thrill)
Rock music blasted through the speakers as the figure flew across the sky, coloured red and began to blast at several tanks.
It then was fighting against a group of soldiers flinging them everywhere before blating a tank to smithereens.
"I'm not playing god."
Next was a battle against a man in blue, holding a shield
"All this time…"
Finally, it revealed the man's face with a short beard, messy black hair and brown eyes, holding a golden gauntlet with six stones in the knuckles
"I've been playing human."
With a snap, it went white before showing the same man in the armour with his back turned.
On the screen below said, in metallic red:
"IRON MAN!"
"OK, that is some awesome music!" Issei said with a grin.
"But what about the character? How will that match help Issei?" Kiba asked.
"Simple. I heard you need some extra help with shifting your forms. So, this match may help you. Plus, being the harem lover you are, I figured this match suits you better. These two have a rep for attracting many lovely ladies."
Issei looked interested while Vali smiled as he looked at him.
"Another match for the Red Dragon Emperor. Perfect. Learn and get strong, my rival. Learn the tricks of the trade."
Kuroka then grabbed his ear.
"Don't think about it." She said.
"I wasn't!" Vali protested as she simply twisted harder.
"Vali. I'm dating you. I've worked with you. I know what you are thinking." Kuroka said with a deadpanned look.
Soon the battle played, breaking them out of their chat.
(Brandon Yates - Wiz & Boomstick)
Wiz: In worlds where people can fly, break through walls or run at fast speeds, there is always one thing that will always remain the same.
Boomstick: Money can buy anything!
"True that." Kiba said and everyone agreed with that statement. Especially the devils, who sometimes took payments in yen.
Boomstick (cont.): Especially the chance to match those with awesome powers. Like Batman, DC's own dark knight of vengeance.
"Vengeance huh?" Kiba spoke in an interested tone.
"Something tells me this guy has some issues." Koneko added.
Wiz: And Iron Man, Marvel's very own playboy millionaire turned superhero.
"What is with that armour?" Rias had to ask.
"Looks too bulky to run in." Xenovia added as she looked at the golden/red figure.
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
BATMAN
The first figure was built like a fighter with slight stubble, with a well defined six-pac and standing at 6ft 2inches. He was wearing all grey and black with a cowl that was pointy and a long black cap. The only other colour he had was a yellow belt filled with gadgets
Everyone felt the hair on the back of their necks shoot up. For some reason, this man reeked of a scary aura, with that scowl that said one thing: "Don't fuck with me."
Wiz: I could go into the backstory, but you all know about this guy, after the last three battles he was in.
Boomstick: That's right, he's back. In case you're one of the many psycho supervillains stalking the streets of Gotham City, I would make peace with whatever God you pray to, because they won't save you from the goddamn Batman.
"Sound kind of on the nose," Rias spoke as he saw the man in black, surrounded by the roaring flames.
"He looks scary though…" Gasper said with a whimper
BACKGROUND
Full Name: Bruce Thomas Wayne
Height: 6'2" | 188 cm
Weight: 210 lbs | 95 kg
Occupation: CEO of Wayne Enterprises, vigilante
Founding member of the Justice League, Outsiders
One of the two smartest men on Earth
Amanda Waller considers him a metahuman
Wants to know why you said that name
Wiz: But before he dressed like a giant rodent and employed little boys in booty shorts as meat-shields, he was Bruce Wayne: Scion of the multi-billion dollar company, Wayne Enterprises. He had a childhood just like any other kid.
"AWWWW!" All the girls cooed at the young Bruce, spending time with his parents. The Lucifer family also looked happy at the family moment.
Showman simply made a face as he rubbed his neck.
"What's with you?" Azazel asked him
"Let's just say…it's not gonna last." He said
Boomstick: Too bad that didn't last. One night, after coming out of the theatre, his parents were shot in front of him, killing them instantly. Now that is something a child shouldn't see.
Everyone's eyes widened in horror at the sight.
"Oh my…" Rias spoke in a quiet voice.
"That…that's not right." Issei said in horror, feeling bile rise from his throat.
"To witness something at such a young age…" Micheal spoke in terror as he, Gabriel and those associated with heaven made silent prayers.
Wiz: That night, something changed inside the younf man. That night, Bruce Wayne died, and the Batman was born. He would devote his life to perfecting his body and mind to become more than human. He would transcend his own morality into legend. A nightmare to haunt evildoers 'til the end of time.
Boomstick: Jesus Christ! I feel like Zoloft and therapy would work, too, but, okay, whatever works. And to do that, he needed to be prepared for anything. And since he didn't get stuck in a lab accident to gain powers, the next best thing was to train like hell for the crooks in his city.
Wiz: Batman's résumé is absurd. He's mastered 127 martial arts, trained in stealth and assassination, and is a super genius with a photographic memory. He's the world's greatest detective, bar none.
Everyone whistled at the montage of him training from facing ninjas to being in a labratory.
"He really is devoted to this cause." Rias spoke in awe.
Boomstick: Like how the League of Shadows needs to keep erasing Batman's memories because he keeps findin' their secret bases. Or the time he found a dead body with no entry or exit wound, and a 40-year-old bullet nearby, and somehow determined it must've been fired backwards in time.
Wiz: Despite being a master marksman, escape artist, forensic scientist, mechanical engineer-
Boomstick: And ninja!
Wiz: One of Batman's assets stands above them all.
Boomstick: His Bat... stacks!

Boomstick: Bats has poured his billions into tactical armor and gadgets for every conceivable situation. If there's one word to describe Batman, it's prepared.
Wiz: Made of reinforced Kevlar and titanium, his Batsuit can resist knives and gunfire, and even protected him from this massive explosion. Judging by the size of the detonation, Batman's distance from the epicenter, and the surface area of his body, he must've withstood a blast of nearly 60 tons of TNT.
Boomstick: His cowl comes with night vision, infrared, and a radio, while his utility belt is chock full of smoke bombs, flash bangs, hardening foam,nerve toxins, a grappling hook, and Batarangs, which he can control midair and set to explode.
"Man, that guy must be extremely loaded if he was able to afford that stuff." Issei said as he saw all of the gadgets used.
"I'm surprised he hasn't gone bankrupt yet." Rias agreed.
Wiz: It was these tools that allowed Batman to wage his one-man war on crime. And aside from a sidekick, Batman preferred to work alone.
Boomstick: But once he got over his angsty loner phase, he helped found the Justice League of America in order to bring his personal brand of bat justice to the entire world.
The guys couldn't help but whistle at the sight of the many heroes on the screen, along with Batman.
"So glad the Hero Faction isn't here to see this." Issei said and everyone mumbled in agreement.
Wiz: And Batman's knack for schemes and preparation skyrocketed to match, turning him into the bat god we all know and meme. Like the time he developed a backup personality that would ensure he functions as Batman in case of a psychological attack that drove him mad. A backup human operating system. Like, a computer... but it's his brain.
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick.
Boomstick: He even has plans tailored to his teammates' weaknesses, should they ever go rogue.
Wiz: Though those plans did get him kicked out of the League that one time.
Boomstick: True. But still, he's developed contingencies for everything, which is why Bats comes prepared with extra suits for any occasion.
Wiz: Like his Knightfall exo-suit to battle Bane, or the Justice Buster, which he obviously designed to combat the Justice League. He even got a "Final" Batsuit from his Sixth Dimensional self that can rewrite your mind!
We see Boomstick painted white head to toe with black stripes.
Boomstick: But my favorite is his stylish zebra suit, which he wore after getting weird Magneto powers. They just made his suit look like this for some reason.
As he talks, he splatters white paint on the screen.
Boomstick: There's also the Rainbow Batman suit, the Suit of Sorrows, and, of course, the Bat-Nipples. Chicks dig the Bat-Nipples. All paid for with the Bat-Credit Card. Never leave the cave without it.
Suddenly another screen is layed, shocking them. Showing a man in glasses and a cap screaming and firing a gun
NC: THE BAT CREDIT-CARD! I HATE IT! I HATE IT! I HATE IT!
Everyone had blank looks at that moment.
"What the hell?" Issei asked.
"Who was that?" Rias added
Everyone just looked at each other and decided, it wasn't worth thinking about.
The screen gets turned off, leaving Wiz and Boomstick confused
Wiz: Was that…?
Boomstick: How did he…?
Wiz: Let's not think about it.
Boomstick: Agreed. (Rias: Guess we aren't the only one…)
Wiz: But perhaps his greatest suit of armor, the one designed to put him on the same level of insane, mind-bending power as his League teammates, is the Hellbat.
Everyone's eyes widened at the pitch black suit. Now that looked menacing.
Boomstick: AKA, the single coolest looking thing ever invented! (Everyone agreed with that)
Wiz: Forged by Superman in the heart of the sun, each member of the Justice League contributed to this monstrous mech's abilities.
Boomstick: And boy does it show! The Hellbat is absolutely hardcore!
Wiz: Made of nano-kinetic mesh, it can shapeshift around Batman's body, and operates via telepathic link.
Boomstick: It can fly, turn invisible, and fire a bat-shaped chest laser. And by diverting all the suit's power into his fist, he can use the Devastator, a punch powered by Wonder Woman's strength, and she's strong enough to yank the freakin' Earth around! Though, it does have a 95% chance of giving old Bats a heart attack.
Wiz: Which he has given himself to save all of Gotham City on at least one occasion. It's that level of insane drive that pushed him to use the Hellbat in his one-man invasion of Apokolips in order to bring his son back to life.
All the males had raised a glass in approval. That was some fatherly instincts shown.
Boomstick: Y'know, Apokolips, home to the god of evil himself, Darkseid. Batman stared down the final boss of DC Comics, and actually kicked his ass.
Everyone soon saw the stony face in blue armor figure and felt fear build inside them. This guy was dangerous, especially when they saw the firey planet Batman was on.
"I sure hope we don't face him…" Sirzechs spoke in fear and everyone agreed with him.
Wiz: This is incredible, considering Darkseid is a being strong enough to destroy entire universes, and fast enough to fly to the edge of the universe in seconds. Since the DC Universe is significantly larger than our own, that would be over 600 quintillion times the speed of light.
Boomstick: That same Darkseid avatar even took a Shoryuken from Alan Scott, who was amped up from the energy of the multiverse, and Bats cleaned his clock just as hard.
Wiz: But this incalculable strength is drawn from Batman's own life force. Specifically, his metabolism. Should any fight with the Hellbat go on too long, Batman may succumb to its hunger before finishing the fight himself. Or absorb someone else's biomass for fuel. That... works, too.
Everyone looked slightly nauseated at the sight of the Hellbat eating a man alive.
"Why do I get stray devil vibes from that?" Rias asked with a green face.
"For some reason, this reminds me of a vore porn…" Issei spoke with his face going even greener. He then got up and went to the bathroom, vomiting whatever he ate. When he came back, he began guzzling a cup of water.
"Well, there goes my lunch." Issei grumbled as he took a seat.
Boomstick: So, basically, you'd have to be completely bat-shit insane to pilot this thing. And Bats, uh, is. Yeah, sorry to break it to you, but the grown man that wears his underwear on the outside isn't all there.
Wiz: Yep. Aside from being a human among superpowered guys, Batman's crusade took a toll on his mental health, so he isn't all there and has done some reckless things.
WEAKNESSES
No exploitable physical weaknesses
Has to be rescued more than any other Justice League member
Mental stability barely in check (Sirzechs: That's not good.)
Wiz (Cont.): In keeping with being a perfectionist, though, he's completely aware of this. That's why he does not kill, because if he did, he understands that he can't trust himself to know when to stop.
"Good idea. That way he won't lose himself to the madness." Azazel spoke.
"Still can't be healthy though…" Kiba added.
FEATS
Soloed White Martian team, Hyperclan
Endured the 49-day Thogal ritual
Took down 100 armed guards at once
Built AI satellite Brother Eye
Saved the universe from the Hyper-Adapter
Became the God of Knowledge (Everyone winced at that but the heavily faction were surprised)
Brought his son back to life (All adult males nod their heads in respect)
Defeated Joker, Superman, Darkseid, Justice League
Boomstick: Batman has outsmarted the nigh-omniscient Metron, defeated his dark counterpart, the Batman Who Laughs, and humiliated Superman in a one-on-one fight.
Shows the fight from Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Boomstick: No, wait, that one's not canon. AND WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT GARBAGE MOVIE!
Shows the fight from The Dark Knight Returns.
Boomstick: That one he technically had help.
Shows his fight with a Jokerized Superman.
Boomstick: Yeah, that one!
Wiz: Don't forget this one.
Shows Batman against Injustice Superman
Boomstick: Oh yeah!
Wiz: Although many of his greatest accomplishments have been aided by his exceptional prep work and foreknowledge, he's no stranger to being put on the spot, even in the face of armageddon. Who else would kick the Spectre, the angel of wrath, God's divine judgement, in the face, and then tell him to get the hell out of his city?
"OK, that is impressive!" Azazel said as he saw Batman kick a giant angel figure away.
Everyone agreed to that, though the heaven faction were a bit miffed over the disrespect on the angel
Boomstick: I'll tell ya who. The goddamn, motherf***in', na-na-na-na-na-na Batman!
Batman swoops down amid a swarm of bats in his Hellbat suit and confronts Darkseid.
Darkseid: My Parademons arrive soon.
Batman: Think I haven't planned for this?
Everyone agreed that Batman was a formidable foe. Despite having no powers, Batman could handle Gods with ease. Kiba felt himself relate to Batman over his desire for vengeance. Issei meanwhile was eyeing the armours in admiration. Maybe he could do something like that?
IRON MAN
The next was a rather handsome American man with short, black hair and brown eyes with a stylish beard. He was wearing a three-piece suit but for some reason his chest was glowing.
"Now that is someone with style." Serafall said with a whistle.
"Wonder how he became a hero though?" Kiba asked.
Wiz: You would be forgiven for doubting the destiny of genius billionaire playboy philanthropist, Tony Stark.
Boomstick: Yeah, 'cause you can add "massive prick" to that list, too!
BACKGROUND
Full Name: Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark
Height: 6'1" | 185 cm
Weight: 225 lbs | 102 kg
Occupation: Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist.
Founding member of the Avengers, Illuminati
Trained by Cap, Black Widow, & Shang-Chi
First human being to wield the Infinity Gauntlet
Like to roleplay as Dr. Strange (Everyone looked confused at that)
Wiz: Tony's parents died when he was still young, leaving the mind-bogglingly brilliant prodigy to inherit a multi-billion dollar tech company. (Rias: Seriously, do all heroes have to lose their parents or something)
Boomstick: With mommy and daddy's purse strings, Tony decided to live it up and down in booze and the ladies. (Issei: Lucky asshole… *SMACK* Showman: Shut up and pay attention)
Wiz: Which was problematic, considering he made his fortune as a part of a military industrial complex, selling devastating high-tech arms to the highest bidder.
Boomstick: And Tony got to see his handiwork firsthand when it literally blew up in his face!
We see Stark's bomb blow up in front of him, knocking him back.
Everyone winced at the explosion in front of him.
"Talk about irony. He makes weapons and one nearly kills him." Azazel spoke with disbelief.
Wiz: Tony never had much of a heart to begin with, but after that, he literally had even less. Unlike so many men of weaker spirit though, Tony refused to give up. He was made of tougher stuff. He was made of iron.
Boomstick: So he built himself a robot suit to bust the hell out of there. And when he got back to the good ol' US of A, he devoted his life to protecting the world from the kinds of weapons he helped make, by making an even better robot suit and becoming a superhero!
Tony: I am Iron Man.
"Bit of a silly idea to announce it to the world though." Rias said with a shake of her head.
"Yeah, but by providing a target, he could divert any attention to him, and making sure everyone else is safe." Azazel added.
Wiz: Building new suits of armor wasn't just a hobby for Tony, but an obsession. Over the course of his long career as a founding member of the Avengers, he has constructed dozens of different models, which he can call to him at once like a literal one-man army.
Boomstick: Most of his armors come with the same basic tool kit: Super strength, massively hypersonic flight, and repulsor blasts.
Wiz: Repulsors are extremely dense beams of muons, unstable subatomic particles similar to electrons. They're actually really interesting. You see, they're classified as leptons, which don't have any known substructures, just sort of like-
An explosion from a Repulsor blast can be heard.
"DAMN! Look at that blast!" Issei said as he saw the repulsor blast fire.
"That is one powerful laser" Azazel added as he began noting down ideas on a pad.
Boomstick: It's a laser! And for extra power he can fire the Unibeam, an even bigger laser!
Wiz: Just suck the fun out of it…
Boomstick: Well, you were rambling and at most, we got a 30-minute time slot.
Wiz: His armors also come with onboard A.I., like F.R.I.D.A.Y., which can hack into enemy technology, command his other suits to fight remotely, and operate down to the picosecond. That's one trillionth of a second. He even has one back-up should he be influenced by other sources
Boomstick: Even outdated armors are strong enough to blow up a chunk of rock as big as Manhattan. By takin' a look at its speed, Tony's armor would have had to be hittin' with an energy of nearly 300 teratons of TNT. That's three times stronger than the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Wiz: Years spent defending the Earth has conditioned Tony to be prepared for any threat imaginable, and he has an armor for almost any occasion.

"Holy shit, imma have a lot of fun doing balance breaker forms for this!" Issei said with a grin. Azazel began to furiously write more notes in his notepad.
"Tell me about it! I have a lot of inspiration for the future!"
Boomstick: He's got an armor to bust Hulks, an armor to bust Thors, an armor that can turn intangible, a super tiny armor that can mess with your insides, and an armor made of white sticky alien goo. Definitely not legal in all fifty states.
Wiz: Gross. In order to remain as flexible as possible though, his standard go-to is the Model Prime. It has all the classic Iron Man staples, and has even incorporated size changing for extra strength, an invisible stealth mode, and-
Boomstick: And a badass lightning samurai sword! Say what you want about the smug son of a bitch, but he's definitely got style. And crippling alcoholism. But look who's talking!
Wiz: It was more than likely that same devil-may-care attitude that led to Tony revealing his secret identity to the world, which I guess had no consequences. Especially when you create some ABSURD weapons against the forces of evil.
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick.
Boomstick: Look, Wiz, when you build a space laser strong enough to wipe out alien fleets in one shot, I don't think the Mandarin is going to interrupt your shawarma lunch date.
Wiz: That "space laser" is a Dyson sphere, a speculative superstructure that is meant to encircle an entire star and harness its energy, something only possible by a theoretical type two civilization on the Kardashev scale.
Boomstick: It's basically when you're galaxy-brained enough to draw power from the entire solar system. And this is just an unfinished product!
Wiz: I know it's comics, but the fact that Tony just has one of these lying around is insane! Known as Sol's Hammer, Tony's incomplete sphere is strong enough to destroy a planet at only a 2% charge.
"OK. It's official. I want to have a guide to his gear." Azazel said as he looked at Showman.
"Why not? Just don't use it against these cats." Showman said, pointing at the devils and angels
"Don't worry. Like I said, I'm done with war. I just want peace." The general said with a raised hand.
Boomstick: Didn't you work on one of those? I remember you talkin' about how it'd solve your student loan problems "once and for all".
Wiz: On behalf of the families of several planets that no longer exist, I'm not legally at liberty to discuss that.
Boomstick: Years of protecting the world from aliens, gods, and even his friends, all of that stuff wore Tony down, and turned him into the one thing he promised himself he would never become: A narc.
Wiz: Siding with the US government's enforcement of the Superhuman Registration Act led to a literal civil war between superheroes. It wouldn't be his last.
"Ooooohhh…" The higher ups winced at that. They all had too much experience with civil wars.
"Guess the road to hell really is paved with good intentions…No offence." Issei said to the other devils
"None taken." They all replied
FEATS
Waged Civil Wars against Captain America & Captain Marvel (Winces from higher ups)
Beat Reed Richards in chess five times
Made Sentry bleed
Isolated a command signal in picoseconds
Survived nuclear explosions at 2% power (Rossweisse and Koneko: Tanky)
Created a genetic clone of Thor
Shattered the Phoenix Force
Defeated Ultron, Mandarin, Korvac, Thanos
Boomstick: Though it did prove he could hang with the best of 'em. He's beaten Captain America in hand-to-hand combat, survived blows from Thor, and even took down the Worldbreaker Hulk.
Wiz: He even matched Magneto, MAGNETO, the guy that controls metal, the thing that surrounds Tony's entire body, by amplifying his power with Jupiter's magnetic field.
Boomstick: And then Mags punched him with the power of the sun, and it was like, no big deal! There really doesn't seem to be a limit to how insane Tony's tech gets. In the movies, this is the same guy that figured out time travel just shittin' around one evening. In the time it takes me to down a beer, Tony's already shattered the laws of physics. Yeah, sure, go to the Middle Ages and play knights with Doctor Doom, ya scamp.
Wiz: Perhaps his greatest invention of all, however, was the eScape, an entire virtual universe where the only limit is his imagination.
Boomstick: And because Tony's nothing if not predictable, he made an armor out of it. That's right, he made an armor out of a universe.
Wiz: This virtual armor is composed of solid holograms that can form any weapon Tony can think of. The only limit is his imagination. But even it likely cannot compare to the armor Tony created inside the eScape, the Godbuster.
Boomstick: It's literally Iron Man going Super Saiyan. The Godbuster was so powerful, it destroyed the entire eScape in a single blast, along with the AI controlling all of it.
"DAMN!" Everyone yelled at the explosion.
That was some feat.
Wiz: An earlier iteration of the Godbuster was able to stand up to Celestials, cosmic gods that can warp reality, like Galactus, Odin, and Franklin, who can threaten the multiverse with their power. (Everyone: The What?!)
Boomstick: So, it lives up to the freakin' name, in case you were wonderin'. But it isn't that kind of power that makes Tony special. After a life spent wallowing in vice and pleasure, Tony rebuilt himself into a man he can be proud of. Someone who could sacrifice everything to save the world.
Wiz: I suppose underneath it all, that man of iron had a heart of gold.
Tony: You want my property? You can't have it! But I did ya a big favor! I've successfully privatized world peace.
Everyone had to admire the man, going from playboy to a superhero. Azazel had admired the many gadgets and armors he created and was willing to use them for his research. Issei also had a lot of ideas for his Boosted Gear.
With that, everyone had debated on who was going to win.
"I think Iron Man. Those armors are made for fighting." Azazel said
"I dunno, Batman is smarter so he could exploit him." Rias countered
"Both are smart but Iron Man is more trickier. And Batman's sanity may be played against him." Kiba said.
"How's about we watch the battle? We'll find out that way?" Grayfia asked and everyone went to their seats as Showman started the battle.
DEATH BATTLE
(Kimi No Dance Wa by Dave James, Keith Beauvais and Osamu Yano)
Batman is seen stationing inside the Justice League Watchtower while listening to some J-Pop before a mysterious pounding on the door. After a few knocks, the figure revealed to be Iron Man breaks in with a palm pulse blast.
Batman pauses the music before placing a bat-shaped device underneath the control panel. Bruce turns towards Iron Man, as Stark addresses the Dark Knight.
"And so they meet." Rias spoke.
"If they weren't going to fight, they could do business negotiations." Sirzechs added.
(Suit Yourself by Brandon Yates)
Iron Man: Heyyyyy, Bats! Now, I can respect a man with a healthy sense of paranoia and billions to spare, but Steve and Nat are really up my ass about this. Take the Watchtower offline now... Bruce.
Batman: You don't want this fight, Tony. It'll be the biggest mistake of your life.
"So they know each other huh?" Kiba spoke in intrigue.
"Guess secret identities are moot with them." Rossweisse said with a finger on her chin.
FIGHT!
Iron Man immediately charges up a repulsor blast but the device underneath the control panel explodes behind the Armored Avenger, giving Batman an opening to grapple away as he attempts to contact Superman.
Batman: Clark, do you read me? The Watchtower is being attacked!
The alert is to no avail, as Iron Man had long since disabled the Watchtower's communications.
Iron Man: Seriously, Bats? I figured out hacking in the second grade! How do you think I got in here? Besides from-
Moments later, he burns down a nearby door and lunges through the opening, pinning Batman against the wall before the latter jumps out of his grasp. Batman is quick to recover and hurls four Batarangs at Iron Man, three of which are quickly destroyed by him with a repulsor ray. He destroys the fourth and wounds Batman in the process, who is quick to run off into a darkened area.
"Good shot. Now let's see how Bats can recover?" Azazel spoke as they watched.
Batman takes out some smoke pellets and slams them onto the ground, covering Iron Man's vision with smoke.
Iron Man: What is this? Ninja style? I can easily track you, you know!
Suddenly he hears something from behind.
Batman: You sure about that?
Iron Man whips around to see nothing but it shows a bat shape in blue painted on the back of his armor. Soon, it explodes sending Iron Man forward.
Iron Man: Cheap trick, pal!
Suddenly, Batman appears in front of Tony, decked in the Justice Buster.
Batman: Not cheap. Just tricky.
"That is a good idea. Sometimes enemies may not play fair, so why should you. Tricks and schemes are useful in battle." Sirzechs spoke.
The Justice Buster launches a fist at Tony sending him back.
Iron Man: Well two can play this game. Friday, send the Heavy Duty Armor
FRIDAY: Of course Tony.
Soon a large rocket shoots to the Watchtower, covering Tony in the HEavy Duty Armor.
"Guess he's levelling the playing field." Kiba spoke as they saw the armor form around the Armored Avenger.
"Unstoppable Force meets another Unstoppable Force." Azazel spoke as he continued to note down.
Iron Man: PArty Time
The Heavy Duty flies to the Justice Buster and delivers a heavy haymaker to the face, sending Batman back. Not leaving the momentum, Tony points the minigun and begins to fire a barrage of bullets to the buster, who raises his arms in defence.
Batman: Guns. It always has to be guns.
Batman fires both fists but Iron Man catches them.
Iron Man: I'll take those
He then crushes them then fires the laser to Batman, sending him to another room. Iron Man decides to exit the Heavy Duty and re-enters his standard model.
"Wait, why would he do that?" Issei asked in confusion.
"Guess he decided that with the Buster done, he won't need the HEavy Duty Armor.
The lights quickly dim and Iron Man glances around in annoyance, utilizing his scanning interface in an attempt to find him.
Iron Man: Really, Bruce? This shtick, again? I thought we were grown-ups here!
Unbeknownst to him, Batman in his Hellbat suit is standing right behind him as it powers on.
"I suddenly get horror movie vibes from this scene." Rias spoke as he saw the devilish figure of the Hellbat looming over Iron Man.
Batman: Ready when you are.
Iron Man: What the F-?
Tony turns around just as Batman proceeded to punch the Armored Avenger hard enough that it sends him flying out of the Watchtower and into space. As Tony recovers, he talks to Friday as he proceeds to ready his next move.
"Guess he didn't expect that!" Issei said with a cackle. It was kind of funny to see him react to that.
"Once again, the power of tricks and cheap tactics." Azazel spoke with a smirk.
Iron Man: Friday, I need Sol's Hammer online, pronto. Match my coordinates, I'll try to-
A shadow suddenly falls over him, and the Marvel billionaire turns around.
Iron Man: -oh shit.
Everyone's eyes widened at the sight.
"DID HE JUST GRAB THE FRICKING SPACE STATION?!" The ORC yelled as Batman was getting ready to swing.
"That must be some powerful suit." Sirzechs spoke with wide eyes.
The screen pans to reveal the Hellbat grabbing a hold of the Watchtower then using it as a club to smash Iron Man, sending him plummeting towards Earth. Batman then pursues, repeatedly attacking the Iron Man as he falls, including smashing him into a car which he then crashes into himself, creating a large dust cloud. The cloud of dust dissipates revealing the Hellbat holding the Armored Avenger above his head.
Batman: What did you expect? I am Batman.
He proceeds to tear the Iron Man armor apart and throw him on the ground before cracking his neck.
"Well, that's that." Azazel spoke with a sigh, until he looked up and saw something else.
"Maybe not." Azazel said as everyone watched as the next part came.
But soon, it's revealed that Tony was not in the armor, just a drone. Suddenly Tony's voice speaks out in response to Batman's attempted one-liner.
Iron Man: And I... am Iron Man. And this is the Iron Legion!
"Holy hell! He called the damn army over!" Issei spoke as they all saw the armors and sits fly alongside Tony.
"You got that right! He has the numbers advantage!" Rias spoke in eagerness.
The screen then pans up to show Tony in the Godbuster armor, flanked by many of his other Iron Man suits.
Iron Man: I've got a suit for everything, Bats! Including busting wannabe gods like you!
As he says this, Tony and his army of Iron Legion suit charge towards their foe. The Hellbat's cape in response shapeshifts into a swarm of bats to distract the armors while Batman dismantles them one by one.
"Holy crap! He's destroying each one!" Issei said as he watched the scrapping the armors, despite some getting a few good hits.
"It's like a demolition derby!" Koneko spoke in wide-eyed awe.
Eventually, Tony himself engages with the Godbuster. Clashing with the Hellbat, Tony is suddenly grabbed by the Hellbat as it winds up for a super-powered punch. Bruce then utters a single line:
Batman: Bust this.
-before he punches the Godbuster through one building and into another, then fires the Hellbat's chest laser. Tony quickly recovers and tries to intercept this with his Godbuster's energy cannon. After a brief beam struggle, the Hellbat's chest laser proves to be too much for Tony to match and is overwhelmed. The beam blows clean through multiple buildings before exploding.
Everyone winced at the large explosion, everyone covering their eyes.
"Damn! That was powerful!" Issei spoke with anticipation.
"Wonder how Tony will get through this?" Rias asked.
The screen passes through the many Batman-shaped holes the laser made before the Hellbat lands. The screen then cuts to Tony, alive, but with the Godbuster destroyed. As Batman comes down to finish Tony off, the Virtual Armor manifests to protect Tony from the attack. As Batman throws another punch, his attack is stopped short, with Tony revealing his ploy.
Iron Man: Had to divert some power to hacking that suit. Like I said, second grade. Friday, fire the hammer!
"That was smart." Azazel spoke with a smirk.
As he says this, the scene cuts to Tony's personal Dyson sphere firing a massive laser beam towards Earth. Batman attempts to lean forwards to finish Tony off, but he's unable to before the beam hits. This causes a massive explosion which demolishes all the nearby buildings and all of Tony's armors, including the Virtual Armor.
"And I thought the beam blasts were powerful!" Rias spoke with awe.
"But it looks like it left Tony vulnerable." Rias said with worry.
Then as the smoke clears, the Hellbat's chest opens up to reveal Batman jumping out of it. Tony reacts in shock to this.
Iron Man: Holy shit!
The Caped Crusader moves towards the Armored Avenger.
Batman: No more armors, Tony. Just you and me, man to man.
Iron Man: Well, man to genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthro-
As Tony attempts to finish his description, Batman punches him in the face, drawing blood.
"Interrupting punch!" Issei said with a snicker.
Tony attempts to retaliate and moves Batman's arm out of the way for a back smack, but Batman grabs then breaks his arm, leaving Tony reeling. However, before Bruce can land a finishing blow, Tony makes a remark.
Iron Man: Maybe... Just one more...
As he says this, Batman's advance is cut short by an Iron Man armor engulfing him.
"What the?! When did he slip that in?!" Bikou had asked as he pointed at the screen.
He got his answer soon enough
Batman: What…the?
Iron Man: Model 58, the Nano Armor. Snuck it into your body back on the Watchtower. Friday, initiate self-destruct.
"Well, we know who's gonna win." Rias said. Everyone nodded and Issei decided to do a countdown
"3…2…1!"
As he says this and runs off, the Nano Armor finishes engulfing Batman, and all he can do is scream before it explodes, leaving a massive dust cloud in its wake and knocking Tony off balance. Once the dust settles, all that can be seen are the boots of the Nano Armor adorning the charred skeleton that was once Bruce Wayne, his Batsuit and skin completely incinerated by the blast.
Everyone winced at that. That was brutal.
Tony pauses for a moment before collapsing against the wall and pinching his nose.
Iron Man: Friday, I could really use a drink.
"I think anyone would want one after that." Azazel spoke. Despite that, everyone clapped at Tony's victory
KO!
Tony is at a bar, sipping a martini with his arm in a sling while Batman's corpse remains, smoldering.
RESULTS
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick, with the latter holding dolls of Batman and Iron Man in their underwear. (Issei: Why doe she have…? You know what. Don't wanna think about it.)
Boomstick: Oh, come on! You know if they fought naked, Batman would've beat the shit outta him.
Wiz: While Batman is a character defined by his tenacity, preparedness, and utter genius, so is Tony Stark. So neither could rely on that skillset alone to pull them through.
Boomstick: And it shouldn't come as a surprise. Batman's standard Batsuit couldn't quite hold up to the firepower of even the most basic Iron Man armors. The Batsuit is surprisingly tough, sure, but it isn't takin' hits from a dude that can punch apart Manhattan. And despite Bats havin' a ton of nifty gadgets, Iron Man's armors were way more varied and powerful. With so many unique and often alien abilities, there was no way Bats could predict all of them.
Wiz: With time, he could certainly figure out a plan of attack, but since Tony is just as much a genius schemer as Batman, he could do the same. Don't forget, Tony is just as smart as Bruce
Boomstick: There are lots of cases where he would've won, especially with his ace-in-the-hole, the Hellbat. The Justice Buster is powerful, but only against the Justice League. Not against a horde of armors from the Iron Legion, so it wouldn't last long.
"That's the problem with specialty weapons. They can only be useful against what they are made for, not other things." Azazel added to his wisdom.
Wiz: The Hellbat's raw power and speed absolutely dwarfed the majority of Iron Man's arsenal and could've killed him immediately were it not for Tony's own trump cards.
Boomstick: Like the Godbuster, which was definitely strong enough to contend with it. The Hellbat could take on Darkseid, but a weaker version of the Godbuster could hold its own against Celestials.
Wiz: Darkseid was a being capable of threatening the multiverse with his power and moving many times faster than light, but the Celestials were capable of the same.
Boomstick: With an armor that strong, Tony could buy himself enough time to break out all his other tricks, like sneakin' nano-armors into Batman's body, phasing through him with ghost tech, draining the Hellbat's power, or just hackin' his suit and shuttin' it off.
Wiz: And with an army of armors at his beck and call, Tony could certainly hold Batman off long enough to employ those strategies. Hell, since he can control them remotely, he technically didn't even need to be there and put himself in harm's way.
Boomstick: And while Bats COULD use the final batsuit to control Tony's mind, Tony's faced against guys that use mind control all the time, so that shit isn't really new to him. The Hellbat was really Batman's only option to match Tony's armor.
Wiz: Even then, the Hellbat was really a double edged sword for Batman, due to it's way of sustaining itself.
"Oh yeah. It feeds off of Batman's own body and can cause a heart attack. He really has a time limit with that suit." Rias spoke as she remembered that tidbit.
Boomstick: That's right. The Hellbat used Batman's own life force as a battery. He needed to end the fight quick or else his own armor would kill him first. With Tony throwin' an army at him, he didn't have a good way of doin' that. Tony just had way too much shit to throw at Batman, while Batman didn't have the time or options he needed to keep up.
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick.
Wiz: Batman may have been a god among men, but Iron Man's wealth of gadgets, insanely powerful tech, and greater mechanical experience allowed him to crush the Caped Crusader.
Boomstick: Yeah, The Justice League may try to avenge him, at the end of the day, Tony was in a whole 'nother League.
Wiz: The winner is Iron Man.
Everyone had cheered for Iron Man's victory and soon Issei was up and heading to the training hall. Before Showman could enter, he gave Azazel something. A large red book with Iron Man on the front.
"Here you go. A guide to all of the armors Iron Man had created. Have fun making some new suits for any conflicts."
Azazel grinned. He was going to have fun.
Inside the hall, the room was more tech/cyber like.
"Woah, what's going on?"
"As well as learning to switch, how's about we start creating a new set of forms for you? More weapons for the game." Showman said with a grin.
"Alright! Ddraig! Shall we?"
[You got it partner!] Ddraig spoke and soon, they got to work.
A few minutes later, everyone entered the room and their eyes widened at the sight.
Issei was chilling on a chair but around him were eight new armors.
"Ladies and gentlemen, introducing…The Crimson Dragonforce!" Issei announced with his hands wide in a showy manner.
What? Bat Credit Card and I SHOULDN't have Nostalgia Critic's yell in this?
