The Z Fighters React To Death Battle! (Take 2)

by SkorchNTorch

(Adopted from JLyman) After a mysterious being gives a series of videos to Bulma, the Z Fighters were left with the option to watch every, single one. What did they do? You guessed it! Join the Z Fighters, and maybe a few others, as they watch one of the greatest web series of all time! Rated M for... you already know.

25. Godzilla vs Gamera (Updated)

This Chapter Is Dedicated To The Memory Of Haruo Nakajima (1929-2017), Ishirō Honda (1911-1993), and Noriaki Yuasa (1933-2004) these men brought Godzilla and Gamera to life respectively, influencing generations of movies to come. Without them, we may never have gotten so many wonderfully cheesy films. Thank you, and may you rest in peace.

---

The excess of food was mostly powered through, Harley, Akira, Muscles, and Kace were chugging some whiskey, and the Z-Crew gathered to watch another Death Battle, feeling relaxed about it, as if they could watch a battle and not immediately question 'how-do-we-learn-from-this-to-save-our-universe?'

(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)

"Kaiju: the Japanese word for-" Wiz began, getting the attention and excitement of some of those present, until Boomstick cut in.

"A giant freakin' monster that destroys everything in its path! Like Godzilla, the King of the Monsters!" Boomstick declared as a giant, reptilian monster appeared. His skin was a grayish-black, his head was a mixture of a lizard, and a dinosaur. On top of that, a series of large, crystal-like spikes protruded out his back.

"And Gamera, the Guardian of the Universe." Wiz added as a giant turtle appeared, with large spikes on his elbows and two massive tusks jutting from his mouth.

"Okay, this should be interesting." Goku said.

"It's worth noting that while both Kaiju's have had many reinterpretations, the Godzilla's that appeared in Shin Godzilla and the Godzilla Anime Trilogy will not be focused on in this battle." Wiz added as two different Godzilla's were shown. "Despite being box office rivals for over half a century, these two enormous creatures have never met... until today."

"He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick!"

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

Godzilla

(*Cues: Godzilla Appears in Hokkaido - Godzilla VS. King Ghidorah*)

"The year was 1954, less than a decade after Little Boy and Fatman had decimated Japan, claiming nearly two hundred thousand lives." Wiz began with a shockingly dark tone, and a matter-of-fact message that didn't have the usual excitement or energy concerning fighters.

"The nuclear age had begun." Boomstick added.

"Uh, it feels like something's missing there…" Shu commented.

"I think it's history in D-Zero, or history in their world or something…" Trunks answered.

(See Ashes From The Trash for a deleted scene going into detail)

"As the United States tested their shiny new hydrogen bombs across the Pacific, one of them woke something up."

From the water, a creature emerged. Large spikes protruded from his back, large fangs jutted from his mouth. Looking around, the creature known as Godzilla let out a challenging roar, daring anyone to face him.

"Ooh, he looks awesome!" Goten said, wide-eyed.

(*Cues: Godzilla Theme - GMK*)

"Perhaps an ancient monster woken by the bombs, or perhaps once a common reptile mutated by the nuclear radiation… it makes no difference! Godzilla, the radioactive rampaging savior/destroyer of Japan, and undisputed King of the Monsters!"

BACKGROUND

- Height: 180 m / 355 ft ("He's… wow…" Someone muttered)

- Weight: 81,600,00 kg / 90,000 tons ("Holy…" Was muttered by a few)

- Japanese Name: Gojira

- A Portmanteau Of The Japanese Words: Gorira (ゴリラ, "Gorilla") And Kujira (鯨クジラ, "Whale") ("Odd combination, but the name is awesome!")

- Age: Over 65 Million Years ("Say one word about my wife, and I'll crack your skull in two." Vegeta scowled. "…I make no promises.")

- Feeds on Nuclear Radiation

- Nuclear Powered Heart

- Accidentally Mutated by Nukes

- Saviour and Destroyer of Japan and Earth

- Likes Snickers Bars (Beers and Whis raised a brow at that, and then Beerus growled when Skorch threw two chocolate bars towards them, pegging him in the head.)

- Somehow Has Knowledge in Basketball, Judo and Boxing (That confused most watching. They hoped it would be explained later, but also kind of felt like they'd be okay if it wasn't explained)

- Has Been in 36+ Movies (With One Still Not Out As of Yet)

- Granted Honorary Citizenship and Named Tourism Ambassador to Japan (That confused and interested most watching)

"Mutated by nuclear energy, Godzilla stands over 300 feet tall and weighs 90 thousand tons. Although this does differentiate depending on the era of film one is referencing, one thing remains the same: he is an unstoppable force of nature."

"Okay, that is one big lizard." Krillin admitted, taken aback by Godzilla's sheer size. Even Vegeta was taken aback, as Godzilla towered over even the largest Great Ape transformation a Sayian could possibly achieve! (Citation needed)

"And for some reason, Godzilla has made Japan his personal playground and has been stomping through it for over 60 years." Boomstick continued as Godzilla was shown plowing through a series of buildings, reducing them to nothing but rubble and smoke.

"Couldn't he have picked on some other country?" A man asked, and a military boardroom laughed at the notion.

"Bah, he's a brute with raw strength, so what?" Beerus scoffed indifferently, taking another bite from the Snickers. "He's nothing compared to a true God of Destruction. I could do what he does in days in mere seconds."

(*Cues: Requiem - Godzilla vs Destoroyah*)

"As if his sheer size wasn't deadly enough, Godzilla's radioactive mutation leaves everything in his wake contaminated: water, plants, even people!" Wiz continued with the explanation. "Godzilla's presence alone turns a city block completely uninhabitable."

"Huh." The God muttered, not having expected that. Sure, Beerus could do far, far worse in mere seconds, but to destroy a city, and then leave it uninhabitable simply by standing nearby? That was a kind of power that intrigued him…

"Like that noisy upstairs neighbor or people who let their dog shit in your front lawn…" Boomstick muttered.

"Which reminds me, keep your dog off my lawn!" Wiz added.

"Hey, Jack Spaniels has a mind of his own."

(*Cues: Mothra vs Gigan - Godzilla Final Wars*)

"But Godzilla does not simply walk past his enemies to destroy them."

"His strength is insane. He once lifted and threw his arch-rival Keizer Ghidorah, who weighs 100 thousand freakin' tons. Also, Ghidorah is a three-headed-dragon-God who breathes electricity." Boomstick explained as shots of Godzilla being awesome were shown, followed by a golden, three-headed dragon roaring, and firing electricity off.

"How have we not heard about this until now!?" Goten asked, looking for the one who might be able to answer. "…Skorch?"

The Entity appeared form the Janitorial Closet/doorway to his room and dropped a stack of VHS tapes on a table.

"Godzilla channels this raw strength through his claws, teeth, tail –" Wiz began.

"AND EPIC GRAVITY-DEFYING DROPKICKS!" Boomstick suddenly declared, cutting Wiz off.

Without warning, a giant humanoid-robot grabbed what looked like a giant beetle monster with drills for arms. Godzilla roared and ran back, then started running towards Megalon. Inexplicably, Godzilla jumped and proceeded to fly forward, somehow balancing on his tail? It made absolutely no sense… but he kicked Megalon square in the chest before roaring victoriously.

"What… what the hell was that?" Vegeta muttered.

"That made like, absolutely no sense." Videl blinked.

"How did that happen? That seems like that shouldn't be possible; like, at all." Pilaf blinked, beyond confused as to what he just witnessed. Godzilla seemed like someone who anyone with half a brain should turn and run form if they saw him fifty miles away, but there was something about Godzilla's dropkick that just… fascinated him.

"I kinda wanna try that." Goku admitted, and a few groaned. Of course, he did.

(*Cues: Godzilla vs Kumonga/Kamacuras - Godzilla Final Wars*)

"Hilarious abilities aside, Godzilla would not be such a legendary kaiju without some serious firepower. As such, he can emit atomic energy from his body for a short-range Nuclear Pulse. This attack fries most technology and kills pretty much anything non-kaiju."

"Or, he can fire his signature Atomic Breath, a damn laser beam of pure radiation! That's like microwaving at least a hundred balls of tinfoil at once! And then turning it into a laser!"

"Well, give or take a few... million..." Wiz corrected. The idea seemed amazing, and now everyone wanted to see what Godzilla could do with that… luckily, they were gonna get it.

A large bug-bat like creature snarled angrily down at a single man sitting on a boat. It let out a series of hisses and clocks in what clearly was an angered snarl. The rain kept pouring down as the man grabbed a pistol and aimed it at the creature. Sure, it was pointless, but he wasn't going to just sit here and die. There was a sickening crunch and the creature lurched back, looking back and hissing in irritation. Slowly, a long, spiked tail came into view. The spikes on said tail began to glow a faint blue, which seemed to get brighter as the camera pulled back, it was revealed Godzilla had bitten onto the monster's neck and was pulling it back.

"Uh, what's-" Bulma began, but Skorch suddenly held his hand up, cutting Bulma off, angering a few. But there was something about the excitement etched in his non-existent features that made it clear this wasn't malicious, it was excitement.

The fins on Godzilla's back were glowing now as well, the sound of some sort of energy building, almost similar to a Kamehameha beam was heard. The monster fought to break free, but Godzilla suddenly grabbed the creature by its jaws and pried them open. Without hesitation, Godzilla suddenly unleashed a blast of blue fire directly into the creature's mouth, burning the head clean off of the shoulders and sending the decapitated body tumbling into the ocean. The screen was silent, and then Godzilla roared victoriously.

"Holy crap…" Goku muttered. "THAT'S AWESOME!"

"Eh, not bad." Beerus shrugged. "I've done better."

"That looks like a Ki attack, but somehow even more destructive." Gohan blinked. "Not to mention that power is radioactive energy…"

"What does 'radioactive' mean again?"

"It means that anything near it will die." Bulma answered. "Radiation itself is a whole thing most of you wouldn't understand, but if you're exposed to large amounts of it, it can burn your skin off in moments and will kill you long-term. Not to mention, it essentially liquifies your internal organs and leaves your body falling apart."

(*Cues: Godzilla! - Godzilla (2014)*)

"The Atomic Breath can melt, burn, or blow up just much anything, and you know it just can't smell good! I mean... that's a lot of fish!" Boomstick joked as a very weird-looking Godzilla appeared, eating a pile of fish.

(*Cues: Bio-Wars - Godzilla Vs. Biollante*)

"NO! No, no, no! That right there is Zilla, the bastardized and shamed American version from 1998." Wiz said, sounding almost angered as a new Godzilla appeared. His head was boxier, his body longer, and he seemed to have chicken legs… everything about it seemed wrong, but no-one could say why.

"That was the Dragonball Evolution of the Godzilla franchise." Skorch commented, and everyone immediately got the picture. "I liked the movie, and the cartoon was really good… but yeah, most fans HATE that thing."

"The same one that Toho literally bought the rights and completely re-branded, stripping it of the name 'Godzilla' to simply 'Zilla'... and then decided for good measure just to murder on-screen in less than thirty seconds." Wiz concluded.

'Zilla' as it was apparently called, roared and charged at Godzilla. The titan didn't seem threatened, just annoyed, and proceeded to tail slap Zilla into a large building which some recognized as the Sydney Opera House. Leaving it broken and defenseless, Godzilla charged up an atomic breath attack, and blew it to smithereens.

"Heh… Take that, America!" Boomstick laughed.

"Well, that's one way to get even." Mai blinked.

"Hey, if they found out that a character they created and used for sixty years got screwed up so badly, that's pretty minor compared to what I think some people would do." Yamcha commented.

"True, you ever met Hollywood executives? Those guys can be nasty…" Hercule muttered, shivering slightly.

"And that was just the real Godzilla's standard Atomic Breath." Wiz commented.

"Yep. Because like Dragon Ball, and for some damn reason everything comes back to Dragon Ball, this thing has different levels of power! After absorbing a giant fire pterodactyl's soul... oookay..." Boomstick began, but trailed off, clearly bewildered by what he just said.

"…I'm sorry. What?"

"He absorbed the soul… of a flaming pterodactyl?"

"So, he's a giant lizard Shang Tsung?"

"Sorry, there's a giant flaming pterodactyl?"

"Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II was a trip, man… I freakin' love that movie!"

"Wait. There's a Mechagodzilla as well?!"

"Of course, there is…"

"There's four, technically." Skorch spoke up.

(*Cues: Godzilla Vs. Megaguirus - Godzilla Attacks Osaka*)

"…he gained the power to boost his breath to the red spiral ray..."

"An attack so deadly it only took a few blasts to obliterate the more powerful clone of himself, Space Godzilla."

"What?! Space Godzilla?!" Boomstick (and most watching) exclaimed.

"Yes, Space Godzilla is a thing. And it's FAR from the weirdest thing this franchise has made." Wiz nodded as Godzilla with giant crystals on his body appeared. His scales seemed darker, navy-blueish and he seemed to be built tougher than Godzilla. "He's a clone of Godzilla, modified with the cells of Biollante and Mothra, made to kill the original… he's also by far the most intelligent monster in the entire MonsterVerse, although his origin – at least in the films – tends to be rather ambiguous. We don't have time to go into it here." Wiz commented.

"Aww…" Boomstick (and a few others) groaned.

"Vs. King Kong, no… Vs. Destoroyah, no… Vs. Biollante, no… Godzilla 2000, hey, I gotta watch that again… Boom! Godzilla vs Space Godzilla!" Skorch declared victoriously, holding the VHS for the titular film. "Thank you, Mad Dawg! And your weird hobby of collecting these tapes that haven't been used in nearly a century…"

ABILITES

- Atomic Breath

- Can be amplified to the Spiral Atomic Breath

- Nuclear Pulse

- Regenerator G1 ("Meaning?")

- Magnetic Powers

- Sharp Dorsal Plates

- Laser Eyes (Yes, Really)

- Uncanny Durability

- Godly Strength ("Never would've guessed." Gohan snarked.)

- Can Breathe Underwater

"As if Godzilla wasn't powerful enough, Godzilla's cell structure can quickly regenerate from all manner of wounds." Wiz continued. "And despite being vulnerable to man-made electricity, he possesses magnetic properties. Like a lightning rod, he can attract thunderbolts from the sky and use nature's power to enhance his own abilities, making electrified-atomic breath... or turn himself into a giant living magnet."

"Magnets... how do they even work?" Boomstick muttered in disbelief. "Well believe it or not, that isn't the weirdest thing that Godzilla can do. If Big G needs to get somewhere quick, he bends over, charges up, and does this..."

(*Cues: Godzilla Goes Flying - Godzilla Vs. Hedorah*)

Those watching half-expected Godzilla to sprout wings and be some sort of Kaiju-dragon-beast, but rather, Godzilla exhumed a powerful burst of his atomic breath…. And started to fly.

(*Cues: Godzilla Goes Flying*)

"Well, at least Japan is... creative?" Wiz tried to reason.

"What… what am I watching?" Vegeta asked.

"Did someone drug the food we ate?" Krillin asked, genuinely at a loss for words.

"This is weird." Shu muttered. "I'm not sure if this is entertaining, or stupid…"

"I can't tell if that makes him a joke, or if it makes him more amazing…." Someone muttered.

"Man, I forgot how weird the fighters in these could be…" Gohan commented, having not been present for the last nine battles. From what he had been told, there were a number of battles he kinda wished he had seen, and a few he was fine with skipping (despite Skorch saying he was gonna show him all of them when they had the time).

"Wait, can that even happen?" Boomstick asked, and those present looked to Bulma, who seemed… broken.

"If they had enough raw force, yes. They could theoretically lift an object as heavy as Godzilla, and grant it some sort of flight capabilities; but the amount of pressure and power that would take… it's impossible for him to just… BREATHE that much!" She finally explained. Skorch, meanwhile, was trying his best not to laugh.

"What is with that guy…?" Mai asked, looking to Trunks.

"Apparently, he comes from another dimension, and he's all-powerful or something. He also knows the past, present and future, and can jump between worlds at will." Trunks answered. "That's just some of his powers, apparently."

"The Dragon Balls gave him that much power?!" Shu asked, amazed.

"No, I think he or she or it was just made with it… apparently Skorch is part of some sort of God-race or something… He hasn't told us."

"Wait, what?!"

"Yeah, he's actually really chill, though, you can talk to him later or something if you want. He's not like…" Trunks trialed off, not knowing if Beerus would overhear him or not.

"Shockingly, yes." Wiz remarked, and the 'Board of Wizdom' made its triumphant return after being gone for a chapter or two. "Scaling to the present, to actually lift his body means his Atomic Breath must have a force of over 328 trillion psi."

(*Cues: A Sign of Godzilla - Godzilla VS King Ghidorah*)

"That's the equivalent of 1 TRILLION riot control fire hoses all being consecutively fired. That's enough hoses to wrap around the earth 38 THOUSAND times."

"Damn!" Boomstick and a few watching commented.

"And he MAKES that, IN HIS BODY." Vegeta said aloud, being in the same boat as his wife in regards to this feat. "The raw amount of Ki… Sure, creating a blast that powerful wouldn't be impossible to us, but creating it from within his own body on such short notice…"

"But like the badass King Kaiju he is, Godzilla has one last trick up his non-existent, heavily radiated sleeves. When pushed to the ultimate limit, or through absorbing the soul of a giant butterfly-moth Kaiju – look, just roll with it – Godzilla gained a new form altogether."

Everyone was going to ask who or what the giant moth-Kaiju was, until they were all silenced by the appearance of the three-headed dragon Kaiju Ghidorah. Emerging from the smoke and flames of a destroyed neighborhood, the beast let out a low growl as its heads slowly approached a woman lying on the ground.

"Long live… the King…" She whispered defiantly. Ghidorah snarled, its middle head moving in fort the kill, when something made all three heads stop.

(*Cues: King of the Monsters – Godzilla King Of The Monsters – Bear McCreary*)

The sound of what one might hear when an engine begins to warm up reverberated through the city, accounting this were heavy footsteps and the ground itself shaking. As Godzilla approached, everything around him… melted. Solid stone buildings, metal cranes, the very ground he walked on seemed to bubble and liquify. The King of the Monsters was covered in red veins, his body seemingly uber-charged by some new force. He didn't even need to touch anything for his destruction to take effect. Those watching were genuinely caught off-guard, and left speechless by the raw destructive power Godzilla possessed as he walked towards the dragon. The thrumming got louder and louder, until Godzilla unleashed a deafening roar.

While he would never, ever voice such a thought, and honestly believed he was simply caught up in a haze of sweet-induced afterthoughts, Beerus found himself fighting jealously over Godzilla's destructive presence. Destroying things was one matter, but literally causing the very ground you walked on to melt simply by standing there? Commanding a force that made your very presence destructive in and of itself? That was a power none of the Gods of Destruction could even BEGIN to hope to possess… and for the briefest of moments, Beerus questioned if he would be able to beat such a monster in combat… but then quickly dismissed such questions, now intently focusing on the power, and questioning how to replicate it.

"Burning Godzilla is the be-all-end-all of Godzilla's powers." Wiz explained. "In this form, he's virtually indestructible, and all his abelites get a massive power boost."

"It's powerful enough to completely erase Ghidorah! Destroying all three heads; Ichi, Ni, and San, although everyone calls 'San' by his 'real' name. Kevin." Boomstick added.

"Kevin?"

"Yes. Kevin."

"So, their names are One, Two, Three?" Pilaf remarked. "Odd. I would've gone with like, Plague, Death, and Kevin."

"You'd keep the name Kevin?" Shu asked his Ex-Adult mate.

"I dunno, he looks like a Kevin."

"I thought he looked like a dragon." Mai muttered.

BURNING GODZILLA

- Also, Referred To As 'Fire Godzilla' or 'Nuclear Godzilla' Depending On The Film

- Everything Around Him Melts

- Nuclear Pulse Can One-Shot Ghidorah, Arguably Godzilla's Biggest Rival

- Atomic Breath Can Punch Through Just About Anything

- Nothing In The Godzilla Canon Has Been Shown To Be Able To Resist Burning Godzilla's Atomic Breath

The thrumming returned, and electricity seemed to crackle along Godzilla's dorsal spines, and he unleashed a nuclear pulse. Oddly, there were a series of colours and designs in it, almost as if it was representing something. Ghidorah screeched in agony as its wings were burned away, down to the bones.

"See, that's what happens when you detonate a nuclear bomb." Bulma frowned. Sure, she had seen theories and prototypes of be able to resist such things, and was even working on armor that had the ability to withstand Ki blasts, but the amount of nuclear power in that blast was… concerning.

Ghidorah charged up and unleashed a triple-electrical-beam-attack that seemed like a Kaiju-sized version of Pikachu's thunderbolt.

"So, this Ghidorah guy is essentially a giant dragon Pikachu?" Piccolo asked aloud. "Huh. Where do all these guys come from?"

"He also may be an alien." Skorch added, only piling more onto the confusion.

Godzilla just glared at Ghidorah, the attack doing absolutely nothing to him. The spikes on his back began crackling as another attack charged up.

"Okay. You know you've screwed up when you're a three-headed dragon that shoots electricity, but this guy is just standing there looking at you like that." Roshi said.

"I've seen mom give that look before…" Gohan muttered, and Goten winced, not wanting to think about it. Heck, even Goku shot his wife an innocent smile.

Godzilla unleashed another atomic pulse, and the right and left heads of Ghidorah were burned to ashes, the skin and muscle peeling, then burning off of the bone, which in turn was disintegrated, leaving only the middle head. Godzilla roared and kicked Ghidorah to the ground, stomping on him and charging up one final blast, creating a blinding red-and-white blast which destroyed everything. When the light died down, there was nothing left. From the rubble something moved.

"Godzilla." Goten called it.

A pile of building remains moved, and…

"How is he alive!?" Goku exclaimed as Ghidorah rose from the rubble. "There's no way he can- oh. That's just his head…"

Godzilla rose from the rubble, Ghidorah's head alive and screeching in his mouth. His spikes seemed to glow their typical blue, and the thrumming came once more.

"Yeah, Godzilla!"

"Blow his head open!"

Ghidorah screeched one last time before Godzilla unleashed his atomic breath, it went through Ghidorah's head, out his mouth, and then incinerated the whole thing.

"I can't lie, that was pretty cool." No. 18 admitted.

"It certainly was an impressive display of power." Whis nodded.

"Yeah, I gotta give him that one." Even Beerus nodded before taking another bite of The Black Legend.

(*Cues: Godzilla's Theme - Godzilla Unleashed*)

"Godzilla has 46 known victories, largely due to his insane durability. He's fallen into a volcano, survived a black hole, and tanked a meteorite point-blank... without a scratch. Oh, he also went to hell, fought his way through, and ESCAPED."

The hell that was shown was nothing like the hell Goku or the others had seen. It was the more twisted cavern filled with fire type of hell. Godzilla was climbing a mountain, and was being covered by all matter of monsters.

"He went to hell?! How did that-" Krillin began, but stopped when Skorch passed him a book titled 'Godzilla in Hell'. "You just have this with you at all times?"

STRENGTHS & FEATS

- 46 Wins, 9/10 Losses, 7 Ties ("Eh, I've got more." Vegeta shrugged. "Yeah, you lose a lot." "…you have ten seconds to run.")

- Survived & Escaped A Black Hole

- Regenerated From A Beating Heart (Piccolo was impressed with that)

- Battled Rodan For Over 12 Hours ("I take it Rodan is the giant flaming pterodactyl?" Roshi mused.)

- Survived The Absolute Zero Cannon (Most of the fighters were interested in what that was.)

- Challenged NBA Star Charles Barkley To A Basketball Game (Yes. That Actually Happened)

- Lifted And Threw Kaizer Ghidorah

- Matched Thor's Strength ("Yes. THAT Thor." Skorch answered the question before it was spoken. "Godzilla fought the Avengers." "Whoa…")

- Defeated 10 Monsters In A Row In Final Wars ("Okay, now he's just showing off…" Vegeta muttered, considering what it would take to fight through ten consecutive Kaijus)

- Fought Through Hell

"But despite popular belief, Godzilla is not invincible. His regeneration takes time, his speed is lacking, and despite having two brains, one in his skull and the other where his tail meets his torso, he's pretty darn clumsy." Wiz explained as Godzilla slipped on a small step and fell into a building almost drunkenly. It was… embarrassing, honestly.

"Man, I ain't seen someone take a dive like that since Hercule's last fight." Yamcha commented.

"Or you trying to ask a woman for a date." Hercule retorted.

"Where were you on that one, ass brain?" Boomstick asked.

"Good question." Bulma nodded.

"He officially lost a fight against King Kong-" Wiz began.

"*COUGHBULLS**TCOUGH*!" Skorch violently coughed. Seeming either offended, or extremely salty.

WEAKNESSES

- Sensitive To Light

- Relatively Slow

- Somewhat Clumsy Due to Size

- Lost to King Kong and Mothra ("Which is B.S." "Dude, you seem really upset over this…" "I don't wanna talk about it.")

- Gills Are A Weak Spot

- Vulnerable To Strong Surges of Unnatural Electricity

- Killed by Oxygen Destroyer & MechaGodzilla II

"-and he's even died in four separate films. Five if you count his brief defeat in King of the Monsters. He's not big on strategy, preferring to brute-force his way to victory, but he is able to analyze an opponent and exploit weaknesses should he need to."

"But Godzilla's victories definitely outweigh his failures. There's a good reason they call him the 'King of the Monsters'!"

(*Cues: Godzilla Main Theme – Godzilla King Of The Monsters – Bear McCreary*)

The screen and sea were silent, the quiet sound of the waved echoed in an almost unsettling way. Suddenly, and without warning, Godzilla breached the surface of the sea, rising to his full Titan height. This sent water falling from his body like waterfalls as he let out a low, animalistic snarl, before unleashing a powerful atomic breath blast directly into the heavens, before looking directly at the camera.

"GO-ZIL-LA! GODZILLA!" An almost tribal chant was playing before the doors slammed shut, and Piccolo hit pause.

"Okay, so… I know we haven't even SEEN the other guy, but my money is on Godzilla." Krillin finally said.

"Agreed." Goku nodded.

"He certainly does make quite the impression." Whis nodded. "But if Wizard and Boomstick have found someone to challenge him, that fighter or monster must have some strength similar to Gojira's. I'm interested what they're pitting against him."

"I have to agree with Whis on this one." Tien nodded. "Gojira's impressive, but the challenger may be able to counter his abilities."

"I think the 'Burning Godzilla' will be the reason he wins. It seems like none of us would be able to stand within three miles of him without being melted into nothing… let alone the power of the nuclear pulse." Gohan reasoned.

"Yeah, hate to admit to it, but I think Gohan's right…" Goku nodded.

"I dunno, it feels like if you knocked him over or could keep him disoriented, he'd lose a lot of his power, so to speak." Piccolo said, thinking over his weaknesses. "Yeah, Gojira seems to be built like a tank, but it seems like isn't great at anything aside from head-on attacks."

Gamera

(*Cues: The Little Heroes - Gamera The Brave*)

"The year was 1965, the apex of the Space Race." Wiz began, once again bringing up something that the Fighters didn't have the slightest clue what he was talking about. "Technology was advancing further and faster than ever before, but no one could've anticipated the bio-engineered marvel hidden beneath the waves."

A submarine seemed to pass over a nearby underwater canyon. Coming into view was a desolate city, one designed with intricate and unique patterns and designs, but also one which had been ravaged by time and the sea.

"Seriously? Atlantis?" Videl asked. "THAT'S where we're starting?"

"Wasn't Atlantis an underwater City of Gold, or something?" Beerus asked, not caring enough to be too engrossed in earth's myths. Which did catch the attention of the Pilaf gang.

"Sometimes it's a city built out of gold and jewels, other times it's just a city that was swept into the water."Yamcha waved dismissively.

(*Cues: Gamera Guardian of the Universe - An Investigation Ship*)

"Eons ago, the ancient people of Atlantis learned how to construct life, and foolishly decided to play God."

"Because nothing has ever gone wrong when you do that." Tien muttered.

"But instead of creating something safe like a dog or a bunny, they created giant flying laser-shooting murder birds. The Gyaos." Boomstick added as the giant murder birds were shown. Their heads were noticeably prism-shaped, and they honestly didn't look that intimidating…

"Awesome!" Goten exclaimed.

"This should end well." Beerus muttered.

(*Cues: Gamera Guardian of the Universe - Gyaos Flies Over*)

"Surprise, surprise, they couldn't be controlled, and they turned 100% of Atlantis into ocean front property."

"Why is it the second people can create something, their first instinct is to make something that can kill everyone? Is this just… hardwired into your minds?"

"In their case, if they didn't there'd be no movie. By extension, that'd mean there's no Death Battle either."

"So, what was their solution to counter these giant destructive monsters? Why, ANOTHER giant destructive monster, of course!"

"Okay, seriously? Did they honestly learn nothing from that!?" Shu asked aloud.

"Well, the franchise has twelve movies, so… no." Skorch answered.

"Hang on, how did they make a second giant monster if the first giant monster killed all of them?" Goku asked, putting something together. "Wouldn't they all be dead? Or so banged up they couldn't pull something together?" Shockingly, Goku had a good point.

"Goku… just repeat to yourself it's just a show, I should really just relax." Skorch commented flatly, also looking to Bulma as he said that. "Because you have NO IDEA what's coming."

(*Cues: Gamera: Guardian of the Universe - Gamera Appears*)

Standing amongst the wreckage of a city, Gamera roared, announcing its arrival. Standing on its hind legs, Gamera looked like a giant snapping turtle, with two large, jagged tusks coming from the sides of his mouth.

"I swear, I've met him before." Roshi muttered.

"Enter Gamera, Guardian of the Universe and Friend to All Children." Wiz announced.

"Hold on, what did they just say?"

"'Friend to All Children'? That's a terrible title." Boomstick muttered. "How about "Gamera, the flying fire-breathing ninja turtle of doom!"

"That's... actually not far off. For a 260-foot, 10-thousand-ton turtle, Gamera is quite agile." Wiz commented.

Everyone watched in confusion as Gamera spun around on a horizontal bar before flipping through the air several times and masterfully and landing on his feet.

"And he sticks it!"

"Okay, I think I see what Skorch was getting at." Gohan said, only to hear Skorch laugh, clearly signaling 'No, you haven't.'

BACKGROUND

- Height: 80 meters / 262.5 ft.

- Weight: 9,000,000 kg / 10,000 tons

- Origin: Atlantean Bio-Engineering (A few of the fighters were curious to how that worked, not because they wanted to try it, but because there might be something they could learn from it.)

- Age: Up to 150 Million Years Old (Vegeta's glare could kill a man.)

- Feeds On Fire, Plasma & Mana ("What's mana?" Goten asked. "He easts fire?!" Krillin said, bewildered.)

- More Intelligent Than Most Humans ("…I mean, he looks smarter than Goku…" Piccolo muttered under his breath.)

- A Skilled Gymnast and Mechanic (That raised questions.)

- Known as the Guardian of the Universe & Friend to All Children (That raised even MORE questions)

(*Cues: Offense & Defense - Gamera 3*)

"His arsenal includes two huge tusks, twin elbow spikes, and a fire breath so strong it can be used underwater, despite being... you know... fire."

ARSENAL

- Fire Breath

- Plasma Fireballs

- Accelerated Healing

- Mana Manipulation

- Flight ("How." No. 18 asked, confused.)

- Top Speed: Mach 3

- Mana Manipulation ("What's Mana?" Goku asked. "Why'd they write it twice?" Chichi asked with a raised brow.) (This isn't a joke)

- Vanishing Plasma Fist ("That sounds like one of Hercules' moves." Krillin remarked.)

- Ultimate Plasma Mana Canon

"As opposed to the regular Plasma Mana Canon." Piccolo snarked.

"I'm calling it now, 'Mana' is just another way of saying 'Ki'." Gohan commented. "Plasma mana canon just sounds like their version of a Kamehameha."

"Sounds about right." Whis nodded with a shrug.

"Technically, it's highly-concentrated plasma, the fourth state of matter. The hottest plasma ever created by man exceeded 3.6 million degrees Fahrenheit, or 1.9 million Celsius." Wiz explained as the Board of Wizdom reappeared, displaying a plasma torch cutting through solid steel. "That's hotter than the surface of the sun! Gamera's fire balls can burn through practically anything, and anyone."

"Huh, so one breathes plasma, the other breathes nuclear fire." Bulma muttered.

"Which is more powerful?" Goku asked.

"Depends." Bulma shrugged. "Both can do some real damage, but if I had to guess, Godzilla's atomic breath is worse, as it both burns, but also irradiates everything."

"And when he's not spitting hot fire like he's dropping a Kaiju mixtape, he fucking eats it!" Boomstick exclaimed as Gamera was shown essentially inhaling fire.

"Weird…" Mai muttered. "What does fire taste like?"

"It's oddly true. Similar to how Gojira feeds on nuclear power, a fiery four-course meal can quickly heal and re-energize Gamera to full strength." Wiz nodded.

(*Cues: Operation Rotation - Gamera Vs. Gyaos*)

"Naturally, as a giant turtle monster, he can retract his limbs and head into his shell for extra defense." Boomstick added.

"Turtle shells don't come off, right?" Goku asked, looking to Roshi.

"Nah, they're literally part of their body. The shell is made up of bones, it grows with 'em." Roshi answered.

Suddenly, fire shot out from Gamera's arm and leg holes, and Gamera began to spin before flying off.

"But they can't do that." The old master added, dumb founded.

To everyone's, well… okay. Let's run down this, shall we? Goku, Krillin, Hercule, Shu, Pilaf and Yamcha were confused-confused.

Bulma, Piccolo, No. 18, Tien, Whis, and Goten were confused from a 'How-does-this-work?' perspective.

Trunks, Mai, Gohan and Videl honestly thought it looked kinda cool.

And Beerus and Vegeta were on a weird level of indifference, somewhere between 'I-don't-know-if-that's-dumb-or-genius' and 'what-drugs-were-these-people-on?'

"And then fire rocket jets out of the holes and freakin' fly?! WHAT THE F**K IS THIS?!"

"I don't think I've ever related to Boomstick more than at this exact moment. And I hope I never do again."

"And why can't my turtle do that?! Someday, Mr. Snappy, someday..."

"Hmmmm…" Roshi mused, scratching his chin.

At Kame house, the Resident Turtle, Turtle, looked up from his nap. For some reason having a feeling someone, somewhere was having a really bad idea that would involve him somehow. Issue was, he couldn't tell if this was the awesome kind of bad idea, or the he should start crawling away now kind of bad idea.

(*Cues: Offense & Defense - Gamera 3 again*)

"Defying all laws of nature, physics, and even reality itself, Gamera expel fire from within his body, and he can fly at speeds breaching Mach 3, over 22 hundred miles per hour. That's faster than the world record-holding SR71 blackbird."

"I…I give up…" Bulma sighed, admitting defeat (for this episode).

"So, this is what you were getting at?" Goku asked, looking to Skorch, who nodded.

(*Cues: Gamera 2 - Demolition Plans*)

"But how the hell does he know where he's going, and more importantly, how does he not puke his guts out?" Boomstick asked.

"The Atlanteans built Gamera using mana-" Wiz began, ignoring Boomstick's question.

"I'm serious, Wiz! How does this work!?"

"I DON'T KNOW!" Wiz shouted, then went silent. "…mana is an ethereal energy force connecting all things, places, and people. Everything has a finite pool of mana, which can be measured using a... Sega Dreamcast."

"Hm. You were right, Gohan." Piccolo nodded.

"But it still can't play DVD's. Or decent games…" Boomstick sighed.

"A person's mana is dependent on how much influence and authority they possess over others. As Gamera literally holds the world's fate in his claws, his mana levels are off the charts."

"So, Mana is the energy we get form the spirit bomb? But rather than need to call upon everyone, you can just take it from the earth?"

"It would appear so."

(*Cues: Gamera 2 - Appearance of Soutai*)

"Gamera can manipulate his mana in combat, both to hurt things, and grow back lost limbs. The latter of which is useful when you've lost your arm and need to give your enemy a kaiju-sized falcon punch."

(*Cues: Gamera 3 - The Red Lotus Flame*)

Gamera stood before a giant monster, a creature which seemed to be a mixture of tentacles, eyes, and spikes. Where Gamera seemed like a creature made in nature, despite its Atlantean origins, whatever creature stood before them seemed twisted, alien, even somewhat demonic.

"Is that supposed to be some sort of squid monster?"

"It looks more alien than squid."

"Nah, that thing… that thing looks like somethin' outta the films you kids are too young to watch." Roshi remarked. A few blinked in confusion, and those who knew what he was getting at grimaced.

"What's he getting-" Goten began.

"No." Chi-Chi cut him off.

"Oh, I get it…" Piccolo muttered.

Both creatures roared, a large spike had pinned Gamera's hand to a wall, and Iris seemed to be drawing some sort of power from the Kaiju. Gamera screeched, and then proceeded to blow his own arm off with a fire ball. In an explosion of green blood and chunks, Gamera reared back and seemed to draw upon Mana, and a new arm burst from his stump.

"Huh…" Piccolo muttered.

"Never thought I'd see a giant monster do that." Gohan admitted.

Gamera used the power of Mana to cover his new arm in the power of life, and then drove the flaming fist into Iris' chest, the energy pulsed, and Iris exploded. The power of mana seemed to pulsate throughout the monster, tearing it apart from the inside and causing it to explode in a large fiery explosion, with several large shockwaves bursting outwards pulsating throughout the city.

"Fuck yeah!" Boomstick shouted.

"Now there's something that'd be worth looking into…" Vegeta mused. "Creating some sort of Ki-Punch? That could be useful." So far, he wasn't that impressed with Gamera, and Godzilla seemed powerful simply because of his size, as he didn't see the threat of his atomic breath attacks (although Burning Godzilla looked pretty cool, there had to be some sort of 'Burning Sayian' form…)

(*Cues: Gamera 2 - Enormous Legion Confirmed*)

"And if Gamera ever runs low on mana, he can summon more from the earth itself. Taking energy like a plant from the ground, plants, oceans, everything. And he can do more than just a giant burning punch, because of course he can, Gamera can use his stored-up Mana to unleash the Ultimate Plasma Mana Cannon."

Gamera roared, his chest plates suddenly moving and rearranging to create an opening of some sort. An orange-red light seemed to be forming within his chest. Unleashing everything, Gamera blasted what could be described as a fire-Kamehameha at another creature, this one seeming like an amalgamation of other monsters, almost seeming like a metallic bug. The blast tore through the creatures' defenses, making it screech in pain as it was completely incinerated. The light died down and Gamera stood amongst the remains, ash falling to the ground silently.

"...I think he got him." Boomstick and a few watching remarked.

"So, how does that one work?" No. 18 asked. "I can accept the fireballs, that's just part of his body, I guess. But how does he re-arrange his chest plates? Let alone create a giant cannon out of that?"

Unfortunately, there was no answer.

(*Cues: Gamera Guardian of the Universe - Gamera in Danger at Mt. Fuji*)

"Gamera is fast enough to catch a missile going Mach 10, capable of flying through outer space, and tough enough to survive a nuclear explosion which levelled the entire city of Sendai."

"As Sendai is about 152 miles across, this explosion must have yielded nearly 112 megatons of force."

"Except they said Godzilla tanked a meteor from orbit." Yamcha countered. "Isn't that pretty much the same?"

"Huh, fair point. The kind of impact force of that compared to a nuke…" Shu remarked. "What's more powerful?"

"Well, Godzilla's got scales, but Gamera has a shell, so that might be able to be useful in some way." Trunks replied.

STRENGTHS AND FEATS

- 16 Wins, 3 Losses, 2 Ties

- Famous Steadfast Determination

- Plasma Fire Trumps the Tsar Bomb

- Can Jump Hundreds of Feet High ("Because… reasons.")

- Survived A City-Levelling Explosion

- Destroyed Legion, An Alien Monster Made Up of Millions of Other Monsters ("For we are many…" Whis said quietly, deep in thought.)

- Blew Up A Star Destroyer (No Joke)

- Survived An Orbital Re-Entry With Crash Landing

- Repaired an Alien Spacecraft… WTF?! ("Yes. Really. That happened." Skorch nodded, and everyone just looked to one another in disbelief.)

"What IS this franchise?" Krillin asked somewhat exasperated.

"Weird. That's what." Beerus muttered, then reached behind him, something feeling off for the past fifteen minutes. He pulled a sign off his back, that read 'Kick me, I'm a stupid idiot'. "WHICH OF YOU WROTE THIS?!"

"I get the feeling that this whole series was made more for kids than adults…" Bulma said, not sure how to react to what was being told.

"And the guys in rubber suits drop-kicking each other is for adults?" Gohan asked sarcastically with a smirk.

"And not only does Gamera have a crazy arsenal at his disposal, Gamera has a fierce will to fight. No matter how much pain he's in, he'll keep pushing forward for the win. He's been impaled, stabbed, burned, and even blown off his own limbs, but he won't go down unless he's down for the count."

"Hm. Well, that's something." Vegeta shrugged.

"And he's not just determined; he's actually quite brilliant. He tactically seeks to exploit enemy weaknesses and is apparently smart enough to repair an alien spacecraft. Don't ask how, he just can."

"He does machines." Boomstick laughed, and a few laughed at the reference.

(*Cues: Terror Has Come Ashore - Gamera The Brave*)

"But despite his intelligence, he is not infallible. Gamera's supposedly impenetrable defenses have been pierced before. And remember, Gamera is explicitly the Guardian of Earth, which does not necessarily include humanity. In fact, Gamera fears mankind may one day become the earth's greatest enemy." Wiz continued with the downsides to Gamera's game plan.

WEAKNESSES

- Underside of Shell is Weaker Than Its Top

- Relies on Human Connection to Maintain Power ("Again. Spirit bomb." Goku commented.)

- Prefers a Winning Through Retreating Strategy ("And just like that, I'm throwing in with Gojira." Beerus said aloud.)

- Puts the Earth's Safety Above His Own

- Vulnerable to His Own Plasma

- Military Weapons Have Been Known to Hinder Him Somewhat

"I knew he sounded too good to be true. He's a hippie turtle..." Boomstick sighed.

"Is he? Like they said, he's the Guardian of Earth, not of Humanity."

"And yet Gamera has a strange fondness for children." Wiz added, and that fact disturbed most present.

"Umm..."

"…they mean as in, he protects them, right?"

"I don't know. And I don't really wanna know."

"I kind of do, but not because of, y'know."

(*Cues: Gamera - 1969 Theme (Instrumental)*)

"Gamera! Gamera! He will bring kids to his van! Touch them like no other can! Please don't tell on Gamera! ...no, really." Boomstick sang.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Beerus asked, his annoyed voice cutting through the deal silence.

"I am so sick of him…" Chi-Chi muttered.

"Skull head. What do they mean by that?" Vegeta demanded, snapping his head to Skorch, who pointed to the screen with a flat look.

"Actually, he's sacrificed his life to save children on multiple occasions, even used his ultimate self-destruct move all for the safety of innocent children." Wiz said flatly, clearly disgusted.

"Oh. That's pretty cool." Boomstick shrugged.

Gamera roared, and the doors closed.

"Okay, that last remark notwithstanding, I think Gamera could win. His biggest advantage will be his shell." Videl said.

"I think his shell is his only advantage." Goku replied. "Godzilla's got crazy strength, and his burning form just destroys everything! And his atomic breath, that's not fire, right?"

"I don't believe so."

"Then can Gamera eat it?"

"Good point." Piccolo nodded. "But even with his Burning form, it seemed like it was mostly metal that was melting within proximity. Ghidra, or whatever it was called, only died when Godzilla unleashed the nuclear pulse. Gamera's shell might be able to stand up to that, even if it's only temporary."

"I really wanna say Gamera will win, but I'm just not feelin' it." Roshi sighed, shaking his head. "Godzilla just seems… better. He's clearly tougher, and has more firepower, but Gamera has somehtin', I just can't say what."

"I'd say Gamera's flight will probably give him more of an edge, Godzilla isn't fast, and he doesn't seem to be that good at balance…"

Even with some of their enthusiasm, there were more people voting for Godzilla than Gamera. Sure, that was only by about three or four votes, but still.

"Hey, they said at the beginning that these two have never actually met before. Why is that?" Mai asked, and everyone looked to Skorch.

"Toho, the company that made an owns Godzilla, saw Gamera as a rip-off." Skorch explained. "After Gojira became MASSIVELY successful, the whole 'giant monster' genre took off in popularity, and Toho apparently feels like Gamera is a rip-off of Godzilla, so even though there was a script to a Godzilla vs Gamera film, it was never made. Also, there may have been some issues with who would win said film, but the details ain't clear."

"That's… well, that's understandable, but also kinda dumb." Videl commented. "If Gamera came afterGodzilla and was inspired by him in some regard, wouldn't they want to have a crossover film, celebrating both franchises?"

"You'd think." Skorch shrugged. "But by that logic you guys would've met like, ninety-nine percent of Anime characters…" He muttered under his breath, walking over and tossing the empty slushy cup he had in the recycling, then pulled another from his trench coat. Thankfully, no one overheard his second remark.

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

"It's time for a DEATH BATTLLEEE!" Boomstick shouted as the doors closed and opened again.

Death Battle

(*Cues: GMK - The God of Destruction Appears*)

A city was shown, partially darkened by the night, and partially by the storm clouds rumbling above. Rain and thunder pelted the buildings, and a few coloured neon signs cut through the night, but it was rather quiet. The camera panned across the city, eventually traveling along the nearby docks, and out over the dark, calm water. The water rippled and pulsed, and then several dorsal plates broke the water. Rising to his full height, Godzilla emerged from the water, his body seemed more muscular and defined, with sharper dorsal plates (think a combination of Godzilla King of the Monsters and Godzilla 2000). Letting out a dominating roar, Godzilla stomped towards the city, powering through several buildings without remorse. Tanks quickly mobilized in an attempt to stop and as Godzilla as he walked through the city. The tanks fired upon him, but predictably they had no effect. Godzilla then stomped on the ground, taking them all out instantly.

"Well, that was effective." Trunks blinked.

In a follow-up move, Godzilla used his tail to destroy a nearby building and slapped away an incoming missile. He roared again when suddenly something shot past him. Looking around in confusion, Godzilla watched as a spinning, flaming circle appeared in the sky. Gamera flew past him, then lands on the ground. The two traded roars, both in defiance of the other being there. However, it was hard to tell if Gamera saw Godzilla as a threat to earth, or if Godzilla saw Gamera as a threat to his reign.

"This should be good!"

FIGHT!

(*Cues: Gamera Guardian of the Universe - Air Battle*)

Godzilla begins to approach Gamera, who picks up and threw a small building at him. Godzilla tanked the entire building and just walked through it, continuing towards Gamera. The large turtle Kaiju charged up and unleashed a fireball at Godzilla, and while Godzilla roared from the fire, it wasn't enough to slow him down. Godzilla grabbed Gamera and proceeded to headbutt him, cracking skulls against the monster, before being struck twice by Gamera's clawed hands. Godzilla then grabbed onto Gamera and body-slammed him into a building twice, the first impact damaging it and the second knocking it over and reducing it to rubble.

"I think these two have already caused more damage than any of the previous Death Battle combatants have."

"Considering how much Thor or Deathstroke caused, that's really saying something."

Grabbing one of Gamera's legs, Godzilla threw Gamera over his head, slamming him into another building, then kicked him through several buildings in one swift kick. Wasting no time, Godzilla charged up his Atomic Breath, and then unleashed a devastating blast which set a good chunk of the city on fire. Godzilla snarled, and then turned away, assuming Gamera was dealt with snorting dismissively.

"That was short…" Shu remarked.

Godzilla paused, and then looked behind him as the fire seemed to dissipate and was sucked up like a vacuum by Gamera, who stood up as if nothing had happened. With a roar, Gamera fired off three fireballs, the impact pushing Godzilla back, but not really harming him. Slamming his tail on the ground, Godzilla roared, then launched himself forward in his epic gravity-defying-dropkick. He flew into Gamera, and knocked the turtle onto his back, before stomping several times on his chest before bringing his foot up and bringing it down on Gamera's head.

…is what would have happened if Gamera hadn't pulled his head back into his shell, making Gojira's foot crash down and leave a large hole in the ground.

"Well, that's one advantage Gamera has over Godzilla." Roshi commented. "Godzilla's scales may be tough, but he doesn't have shell-defense on top of em."

Godzilla seemed genuinely taken aback when fire shot out from Gamera's shell-holes. A few moments later Gamera began to spin, lifting off from the ground and flying into the air. Roaring in irritation, Godzilla fired his atomic beam into the air, but Gamera just flew off into the sky. The fighters found it somewhat amusing as Godzilla began roaring in irritation as he looked around the sky, not seeing Gamera coming in from behind and slamming into him.

"How did he not see that coming?" Goku asked, confused.

"I'd say Godzilla's more of a fighter than a strategist." Piccolo answered. "He seems to be more of a brute force type fighter than a strategist. They also said he's kinda clumsy, so that could be a factor in it."

"Huh, fair enough." Goku nodded.

Gamera didn't come out of his shell as the fighters expected, but rather, he kept flying, now using Godzilla as a battering ram and flying him through several buildings. It seemed like this attack did have some effect on Godzilla, as he was being forced through building after building. Gamera pulled upwards and flew several feet into the air before appearing out of his shell, and retuning Godzilla's drop-kick with his own. Godzilla was thrown back down to the ground, impacting the concrete and shattering the ground, creating a sizable crater.

"Dang, Gamera's got some decent plans. Taken what your opponent hits you with, turn around and hit them with it." Yamcha mused, watching the fight.

Gamera landed and roared, firing off several fireballs at his rival. Godzilla, tanked the first two fireballs, but charged up and fired off his atomic breath, powering through the incoming fireball, but missed Gamera and blew up another building. Gamera seemed caught off guard, and then was charged by Godzilla, who clawed at the turtle's face. In retaliation, Gamera bit down on Godzilla's hand, drawing blood. Godzilla punched Gamera, knocking the beast off of him, and then proceeded to get into a full-on slugfest. Gamera screeched as Godzilla unleashed a slew of punches, culminating in a savage kaiju-sized left hook. It didn't break Gamera's tusk, but it was clear it irritated him, which was understandable.

"Okay, going off the previous fights, what are the odds Gamera loses a tusk?" Goku asked.

"Double or nothing Gojira rips it out and uses it like a knife." Hercule nodded.

"I'm not sure what that means, but yeah!"

(*Cues: Gamera vs Gyaos - Gamera: Guardian of the Universe*)

Godzilla seemed to shoulder-charge Gamera, hitting him in the soft underside of his shell, knocking him off balance. Gamera screeched and lurched forward, seemingly falling into Godzilla's incoming punch, but then bit down on his arm and bit hard. Without hesitation, Gamera pulled his legs in and shot upwards once again, but he didn't throw Godzilla back down this time, he grabbed onto Godzilla and kept flying upwards.

"I'm not sure where this is going…"

Gamera kept flying upwards, Godzilla burned the back of his shell with his atomic breath, but it didn't seem to have any real effect. Gamera refused to let go of Godzilla, and eventually they powered through the atmosphere, escaping gravity and eventually reaching space. Gamera essentially slapped Godzilla into space, before Gamera spun and flew around Godzilla, striking him several times.

"Hey Mom, did they say if Godzilla can breathe in space?" Trunks asked.

"I think they said he can survive a black hole, but they didn't say if he could breathe…" Bulma reasoned. "I think he could, but something tells me that the battle isn't gonna end in space."

Godzilla seemed to try his best to turn around and fight Gamera, but his atomic breath only served to disorient him in zero gravity. Gamera came in from nowhere, and slammed into Godzilla's back, suddenly pushing him back towards earth. The pair re-entered earth's atmosphere, both of them being surrounded by a sonic cone as they barreled back down to earth. As they re-entered the atmosphere, Godzilla seemed to be absorbing electricity from the thunderstorm they were falling through. Gamera was aimed towards a series of mountains, and it was clear if Godzilla didn't do something, this battle would be over rather quickly. Godzilla's spikes began to glow a bright blue, and Gamera seemed both confused and apprehensive as to what was coming next. The audio suddenly cut out, leaving only the sound of electrical cracking and a high-pitched whining. That later of which made both Beerus and Shu wince from the sound, which in turn made Beerus drop the food he had been eating.

"…this is an offence to the Gods ourselves." Beerus growled when the audio died down. For a moment, everyone panicked, until Harley walked by and handed him another plate of the Black Legend. "Hm."

"No prob, Purple Kush Kat." The bearded man commented as he left, and a few others sighed in relief, not wanting to deal with a pissed-off God of Destruction again.

"We really should ask that guy to stick around." Gohan muttered.

Godzilla unleashed an electrical blast, knocking Gamera off of him, and bit his arm, proceeding to rip it off as he fell. The attack sent the turtle Kaiju flying off in a random direction, screeching in pain and irritation as green blood spewed violently. Gamera quickly entered his shell and began to attempt to fly away, only to slam into the water and skip along the water before splashing and sinking. Godzilla was still careening towards the mountains, and fired off his atomic breath in an attempt to slow himself down, maybe even come to a stop…

"He's comin' in WAY too fast… this is gonna hurt…" Mai winced, realizing something at the same time as everyone else.

Snapping his tail like a whip, Godzilla seemed to be turning himself over, rather than attempting to stop himself. He pulled his head in and seemed to defensively curl into as much of a ball as he could before slamming back-first into the mountains. In a moment that seemed very familiar to a number of the Z-Crew, Godzilla smashed into the mountain, seemingly splitting the pillar of stone in two as he smashed through it, leaving a massive hole where he impacted, and kept going. He went deeper and deeper, eventually bursting out the side of the mountain and smashing back into the city with a massive explosion. The resulting shockwave caused the buildings to wave, and then the glass exploded outwards in a devastating explosion of damage.

"Damn." Krillin said after a few moments of silence. "This seems a LOT like the fights you guys had years ago…"

"Aw, c'mon Krillin." Goku laughed. "We didn't cause that much-"

"Yes, we did. Shut up." Vegeta cut Kakarot off, either not wanting to talk/think about back then, or engrossed in the fight.

"I mean… it wasn't intentional…" Goku muttered awkwardly. "Actually, yeah… I think you're right, Krillin."

As the dust settled down, Gamera burst up from the water, flying over the destroyed city, looking for his opponent, finding Godzilla impaled in a few places by chunks of building. Godzilla weakly growled as Gamera landed and roared, charging up and firing several fireballs at Godzilla. Landing, Gamera raised his one remaining arm into the air and began to channel Mana from the earth itself, a golden ring forming around him and above him, light pulsating and being absorbed directly into him.

"Yeah, that's just the Spirit Bomb." Vegeta nodded. "Skull, which came first?" Skorch shrugged, too lazy to look it up.

From where he was trapped, Godzilla's spikes glowed, and crackled with electricity as he charged up his Atomic Breath. Gamera's chest opened, the chest plates rearranging and creating the Ultimate Plasma Mana Cannon. Firing the cannon off, Godzilla unleashed his Atomic Breath to try and counter it. The beams collided, and they seemed to be struggling against one another in a way that seemed way past familiar to the Z-Crew. Surprisingly, Gamera's attack seemed to overpower Godzilla's Atomic attack. Godzilla's beam attack seemed to change colour, almost as if it was being absorbed by Gamera's Mana Cannon. The attacks seemed to form into one bigger attack , part of which hit a nearby gas station that had miraculously survived thus far… Note how I said 'thus far'? Yeah, that gas station isn't there anymore.

KRACKA-THRABOOOM!

Godzilla roared as he was enveloped in the fire from the explosion of the gas station, and Gamera's Mana Cannon. The few still standing buildings nearby being either burned to the ground, or destroyed by the shockwaves. Except this time, the explosions seemed to hurt Godzilla. Gamera looked down at the fire, then roared victoriously.

"Huh…"

"That can't be all it takes to kill Godzilla…" Goten frowned.

"Wasn't there like, a super Sayian Godzilla?" Shu asked, and any answer was cut off by the sound of tribal chanting.

(*Cues: Godzilla: King of the Monsters – Godzilla – Bear McCreary (Feat. Serj Tankian)*)

"GOD! ZI! LLA! HO! Soriaaaaa! Soria, SORIA, SORIA SORIA! HO! HO! HO! GODZILLA!" The song began as the guitars began wailing, and everyone realized it was coming from the battle.

"And so, one of the greatest battle songs ever, begins." Skorch declared.

From the fires, a hand shot into the sky and crashed down onto the earth, digging deeply into the road and rubble. The scaly, ash-gray hand of Godzilla seemed bigger, and red veins were coating it completely now. With a low, borderline demonic growl, the cracked and somewhat broken dorsal plates of Godzilla rose from the fire. They no longer glowed blue, but now a burning red. The veins coursed all over Godzilla's body, pulsating with some sort of power, Godzilla stood to his full height and roared. The deafening bellow of a warrior, a king, a conqueror.

Gamera snorted.

"Dang, this music is awesome…"

Godzilla charged up an Atomic Pulse, the very air around him seemed to shimmer as the charging commenced. Then, there was a powerful blast, the flaming shockwave burning what remained of the buildings and striking Gamera, who had turned around and used his shell to tank the blast… and it burned, leaving a dark mark on his shell, but it didn't destroy it.

"Wait, I thought Burning Godzilla just… melted everything." Goten muttered.

"It melted buildings, cranes, and non-organic stuff. Maybe Gamera's shell is made of something different." 18 shrugged, somewhat confused as to why Gamera wasn't just… dead.

"That makes sense, it's not made out of metallic or granite compounds, so the irradiated heat and power may affect man-made materials, but Godzilla is made by Atlanteans, out of… whatever it is." Bulma reasoned.

Godzilla charged forward, crashing into Gamera and pushing back into the remains of the city. They both roared defiantly and tried to attack, but caught each other's hands, keeping them restrained and snarling at one another. Gamera broke free and lunged forward, digging into Godzilla's neck with one of his tusks, before stabbing Godzilla with one of his elbow spikes. Both attacks did damage and drew blood, truly seeming to harm Godzilla compared to all of his other attacks. Pulling back, blood spurted from Godzilla's neck, but it was clear it just pissed Godzilla off even more.

Gamera screeched and tried to stab Godzilla with his tusks once more, but Godzilla grabbed Gamera's head, reaching down and wrenching one of his tusks to the side. Most of those watching winced in pain as Godzilla ripped the left tusk, green blood spewing everywhere, spun it around, and drove it into Gamera's eye.

"AGH!" Mai winced as Godzilla drove the tooth-blade deeper and deeper into Gamera's head, then ripped it out and stabbed him in the chest with it.

"Well, Godzilla's… resourceful?" Piccolo commented, unsure of how to react to what he just saw. On the one hand, Ew. But on the other, that was awesome.

"Oh, that just hurts to look at…" Krillin muttered, rubbing his jaw.

"For a creature whose primary method of combat is brute force, I'm surprised Gojira could devise such a tactic." Whis mused.

Gamera charged up his remaining fist with Mana and punched Godzilla in the chest, the camera zoomed in, suddenly showing Godzilla's heart, which was noticeably damaged by the punch, and then seemed to draw energy from it. Godzilla unleashed another nuclear pulse, and Gamera screeched as his remaining arm was incinerated. But Godzilla wasn't done, he grabbed Gamera and unleashed a lethal burst of power. Gamera retreated into his shell… but this was a mistake. Grabbing both sides of the shell head hole, Godzilla began to pull, and by the sickening cracking sound, his plan was working. In a genuinely unsettling shot, Godzilla ripped the back half of Gamera off, ripping his shell clean off.

"Agh… that… that's just gross…" Roshi winced, seeing Gamera's insides spill out.

Godzilla threw Gamera screaming and defenseless into the air, and unleashed his burning red spiral ray attack. The attack burned through Gamera's back, and after a few more moments, it punched through his body, and Gamera exploded into a disgusting mess of green blood and chunky turtle parts.

"Damn! That was awesome!" Goten exclaimed, wide-eyed, not caring if Chichi got upset with him.

"Hm, I do have to give him credit, he does have talent in destruction." Beerus nodded. He wondered how a confrontation between himself and Godzilla would end. He didn't doubt he could win, but Godzilla possessed a power he now wanted to know more about, and potentially learn. Creating a 'Burning Beerus' could be something unlike any of the Gods had ever seen.

"I forgot how brutal these fights could get." Gohan remarked.

"This was definitely one of the more brutal finishes." Videl said, looking to her husband. "Still, I think Scorpion or Spawn had the gorier kill."

Godzilla roared to the sky, standing among the ruins of the city, his roar causing a red shockwave to pulse outwards, burning off the remains of his burning energy as the storm dissipated.

Results

Those who voted Gamera were disappointed by his loss but also grossed out by the brutal, and rather disturbing way he was dispatched. Those who voted Godzilla now saw with finality why they called Godzilla the 'King of the Monsters'.

"Man, we've gotta watch these movies! If they're anything like this, they'll be awesome!" Goku exclaimed.

"If the spectacle of the fight is anything like this one, they could be entertaining, to say the least." Vegeta shrugged. Both having a feeling Bulma might force him to join if the family decided to watch one, and admittedly, he was entertained by the battle. Seeing Godzilla and Gamera in their prime could be entertaining. He doubted he'd learn anything from them… but still.

(*Cues: Godzilla! - Godzilla (2014) again*)

"Add 'Master of the Culinary Arts' to his title, 'cuz Godzilla just made turtle soup!" Boomstick laughed.

"Ugh…" Bulma groaned at the bad joke.

"Huh. What would that taste like?" Beerus muttered.

"Gamera may have held the speed advantage, but Godzilla's sheer size and power won this bout without question." Wiz explained.

"First of all, he's nine times heavier!" Boomstick exclaimed. "Plus, while Gamera tanked a city-busting nuke and almost died, Godzilla tanked a similar explosion from a meteorite and didn't even flinch."

"Right, if Godzilla fell from orbit and smashed into a bunch of mountains, and then got impaled on buildings AND THEN got blown up by the Ultimate Plasma Mana Cannon and then walked it off… yeah, his endurance is something wild." Pilaf nodded, thinking about the string of events which lead to Godzilla going into Burning Godzilla.

"Gamera's shell was once pierced by Viras, a physically weaker foe. There's no doubt Godzilla could overpower this giant turtle. Heck, he's taken on ten Kaiju, one after another without stopping. While Gamera may have fought hundreds of the Legion creatures, they're roughly the size of a car."

"If I had to guess, those 'Legion' creatures are pretty weak on their own, but they do real damage acting as one, right?" Piccolo asked, and Skorch nodded. "So technically, Gamera only dealt with one monster, while Godzilla took on ten in a row, and won."

"Hell, he's strong enough to match damn Thor! Also, since Godzilla's atomic breath is composed of pure radiation, not fire, Gamera could not feed off of it. That in turn took one of the last real advantages he had, and denied him of that."

"Figured." Tien shrugged.

"I don't get it, Godzilla's atomic breath, and fire, aren't they the same in terms of what they're made of?"

"No. You'd think so, but they differ on a much deeper level than I think you would be able to understand." Bulma answered.

"But most importantly, Gamera has a history of winning through retreating."

"…a coward's tactic…" Vegeta muttered. Sure, he knew there was some merit to such a tactic, but when a fighter was as powerful as himself, Kakarot, or Godzilla, that kind of strategy didn't work.

"If he has the giant laser canon, why does he retreat? Why not just shoot them once and be done with it?" Mai asked.

"It probably takes a bit to charge, like the spirit bomb."

"Well, even the cannon didn't kill Godzilla. So, he probably used it as a last resort." Yamcha reasoned. "He was already down an arm, and since Godzilla was impaled, it was probably the best chance he'd have to take him out for good."

"He usually takes one round to analyze his foe and another to win the day. On paper, this sounds like a smart idea."

"But unfortunately for Gamera, Godzilla don't play like that. The King of the Monsters' strategy usually involves brute forcing his way through an issue, and then blowing said issue apart with his atomic breath. In the end, it looks like Godzilla put Gamera through living... shell." Boomstick said, and a few groaned at the pun.

"The winner is Godzilla." Wiz concluded as Skorch got up and returned to his closet room.

"Ugh this chapter went on so much longer than I intended… I seriously can't write a short chapter to save my skeletal ass… Okay! First up, something I do need to address is brought up in the review from a 'Zach Flare SOLDIER Class S', who wrote…

I do hope you read this and don't just roll your eyes my friend, you're wrong about Kimba the White Lion and Lion King. Kimba was nowhere near similar to Lion King before the movie which came after Lion King came out. Kimba was more about a white lion cub trying to make the animal kingdom more civilized like humans. Lion King on the other hand is more about accepting the cycle of life and death and Manning up and taking responsibility when the situation calls for it. And as I said the Kimba the White Lion movie came out after the Lion King so if anything, it was Kimba copying Lion King.

"Yes and no. Kimba existed WAY before Lion King, going back to the manga in the 50's, having shows and movies in the 60's and then one in the 80's, 90's, and 2009. I'll admit, I don't know the whole deal with this one, I just threw a bunch of names up that were commonly considered 'rip-offs'. If I'm wrong here, I'll admit to it. Same applies to this next review from 'Atombomb639', I'll admit; I was wrong…

Technically, Man-Thing & Swamp-Thing couldn't be rip-offs of each because of the time period they were created too close together besides both ripped off another Comic called the Heap anyway.

"Yeah, that one's one me, crew. I should've done more research on that. Next, is one from 'Alpha1Son', who wrote…

For Goku vs Superman I saw Cell, Jeice, Frieza names and a few others. I really hoping for Bardock, Gine, Raditz, and Grandpa Gohan to join in as well. Other than that, nicely done.

"…I have a really bad feeling there's gonna be like, eighty plus people watching the battle… anyhow, we have another review. This one coming from 'StoneySP', who wrote…

Any chance of the Z Fighters reacting to One Minute Melee and Death Battle X in the future? Just wondering.

"Unlikely. They're short enough that I can't really re-write them. I'll show them to the fighters, but I probably won't make it part of these chapters. Next up is a review from 'Skull Flame', I approve of that name, who wrote…

- Nice reference to Epic Rap Battles of History.

- Man, Deadpool can be funny, when he's not annoying.

"Ha! Someone noticed that! I have so many little references hidden throughout the story, if you're a pop culture connoisseur, you might pick up on em'. As for Deadpool… TANGENT TIME! That's my issue with him. The 2015-2017 comic run, which is the first one I started on and fully completed, had some fantastic issues. Issue #20 is one of my all-time favorite comics, and… I never thought I'd say this; the Secret Empire issues were really good. At the same time, a lot of the humor came from 'Oh, look. I'm Deadpool lalalalala fourth wall break, lol!' and it lost the dark edge Deadpool began with. This isn't a problem per say, because they still made it funny, understanding they couldn't rely on just looking at the reader and expecting them to laugh. When Deadpool is just 'Wacky, lol so random!' it doesn't work, it's just annoying. A lot like Harley Quinn, actually, but that's another conversation for another day. But towards the tail-end of the 2017 run, it lost A LOT of steam, around the whole 'Till Death Do Us Part' crap I lost a lotta interest. The Deadpool: Assassin comics were pretty good, and Deadpool vs Black Panther and vs Old Man Logan were great, but even the 2017-2018 and 2019-whenever comics just… missed, at least to me. Tangent over! Next is a review from – appropriate for this chapter – 'Gojira Maniac' who wrote…

Honestly, really like this story so far, and wondering how far into the series you're gonna go for Goku vs Superman; is it just staying with the GT/Post-Crisis stuff like the first one, or is all of DBS and the New 52/Rebirth stuff getting thrown in too?

Also, I think you made a mistake, since you typed out Goku "jumped past Super Saiyan Blue and went to Super Saiyan God".

"…whoops. My bad. Also, as for the GvS battle, I'm not sure. I feel like if people vote for a mega chapter, which is currently how the poll is going, then yeah. I'll add some newer stuff. However, I can't say if it'll change the outcome, as I'm still trying to figure out who really would win that fight. Both these guys are some of the stupidest-ly OP characters in fiction, but unlike One Punch Man, it's not played for laughs… Finally, we have one from a'sammykordy10', with a short and simple one:

Kinda want to see android 18 reaction to her own death battle

"…soon…"

18 looked around, feeling like someone was watching/talking about her.

"Also, brief aside here, Deadpool isn't coming back anytime soon, so if you're a guest and repetitively ask for it, you're gonna have to wait a while. There's a number of battles I'd love to do soon, but some battles need to be done first. Well, that's all for now! Thanks for stopping by, this was a fun one! Also, to answer any questions: Yes, I saw Hulk vs Broly. Yes, Broly could and would win. And yes, the fight was awesome. Also, go check out Godzilla, the Outcast God of Destruction by Drago Dragonheart for a fun one-shot about Godzilla meeting the Gods of Destruction. It goes as well as expected… Now, I'm gonna bail for a bit. Need to hit the library… hopefully nothing too crazy happens while I'm gone."

Returning to the others, Skorch looked over to his friends and smiled.

"It was great seein' you two again." The Entity nodded. "Tell Ace I said, hey. Kace… whatever."

"It was lovely meeting with you again, Skorch." Genevieve smiled. "We would've talked sooner… but we didn't know how to contact you…"

"Yeah… that's on me. I left my phone somewhere three worlds ago… and I can't go back… and then I was too lazy to buy a new one…"

"Same."

Two portals opened, the Blackthorns leaving through one, and Kace leaving through another. Waving good-bye to the Blackthorns, and flipping off his friend, Skorch sighed as they closed. He then turned back to the others, growing somewhat serious.

"Okay, so I'll be gone for a bit, you guys still have that key I gave you a while ago?" He asked.

"Yeah, the woman keeps it in the lab." Vegeta nodded.

"Cool, if anything goes down – and it shouldn't – use that to get to my place, there should be a bell, or a gong, or… something, it's different for every world, but you'll know it when you see it. Use it, and it'll drag me back here unless I'm in like, the archives of the library."

With that, the ground seemed to split, and an ancient oak door rose from the ground. Everyone looked on in surprise as the door, adorned with carvings of leaf's and lettering that seemed almost alien to them. Taking a breath, Skorch pulled the door open, it groaned and moaned with age, and he stepped through it, entering the library. And it was certainly that, a library.

"Huh. Kinda underwhelming…" Piccolo muttered.

Once he was inside, the door closed on its own, then seemed to crack, eventually shattering into dust.

"…well, I wonder if there's any of that Candy Barbeque left." Whis mused.

"Hey, I called first dibs! You stay away from it!"

"When did you call that, my lord?"

"Uh, just now!"

As everyone dispersed, no one noticed another figure watching from the room. He smirked slightly, his jagged teeth forming a mischievous smile, having seen Skorch leave.

"I think I will cause problems on purpose." He commented, grinning sadistically, then heading off to hell. "Time to do this My Way…"

---

And Now… Flashback! (Before the chapter began…)

It had been about three days since the Universal Tournament ended, and everyone had gathered at Capsule Corp. HQ to celebrate. Pretty much everyone was using it as an excuse to avoid doing work/finally get a chance to breathe after everything that had happened, and it had taken some convincing to get Goku and Vegeta to leave training for a day and just enjoy the day… an idea which seemed borderline blasphemous, but their wives were very, very convincing.

"So, if Universe Six is a thing, I wonder what kinda fighters they have in the other Universes!" Goku commented.

"I'm just amazed to hear that there are other Sayians in other worlds." Gohan said. "I never really thought about that… other worlds, other earths…"

"It still sucks Frost fought like he did… he seemed really nice."

"Of course, you'd think that…" Vegeta muttered, but he had to agree with Gohan. He was surprised to find other Sayians, and even more surprised to see how quickly Cabba had taken to the Super Sayian form. Maybe it was because his people were still rather unified, it made achieving that form easier… not that he cared too much, mind you. He was far stronger than anyone in Universe Six (and if you dared bring up Frosts' 'victory' you better have a damn amazing dental plan). Still, he did have to wonder about the potential of Cabba, and any other Sayians that might be out there. Not just for a fight, but to uphold the Sayian legacy.

Still, everyone agreed it was a nice feeling, finally being able to relax and not worry about the world being erased, or blown up, or… well, take your pick.

"Hey, Skorch. You have any music? I feel like it'd be nice to have something playing." Bulma remarked, and Skorch leaned up from his air-hammock. He seemed thoughtful, then nodded.

"So, what happens now?" Gohan asked. "If Universe Six has been dealt with, do we need to deal with the other eleven universes?"

"Unlikely." Whis shrugged, taking a sip of his drink. "Unless Lord Beerus and Lord Champa decide to do something involving all the Universes, things should be relatively calm." There was something about the way Whis spoke, and the look Skorch shot his way that was a mixture of a 'I-dare-you-to-do-something' and 'I-will-hurt-you-if-you-do' that made Beerus not reply right away.

"Honestly, I'm just glad we've finally got some time to relax… it really feels like every week the world is nearly destroyed." Bulma muttered, taking a sip from the mixed drink.

"Just the way it is, I guess." Piccolo shrugged. Bulma gave him an annoyed look, but wasn't one hundred percent sure how to reply. Across the backyard Chichi and Videl were talking with Genevieve when something got brought up.

"I… I just can't believe that there's all sorts of other universes out there, not just Universe Six, but things beyond that."

"What exactly do you want to understand better?"

"I mean, there's are world, but then apparently there's other worlds we exist in, but it isn't the same? How exactly does that work?"

"Hm… did you have the 'Root Universe' thing explained?"

"Yes." Bulma nodded.

"Well, since Skorch explained the whole 'Root Universe' thing, I'll try and be brief." Genevieve remarked, creating a diagram of Earth. "So, here's your world, and everything you know it is the way it is. Your history, your relationships, it's all the way it is when you look around."

"Okay."

"The idea is, there's other worlds where you exist, but… differently. Be that through how you act, who you're in a relationship with, or even how your world works." She continued creating a second earth diagram, with some of the continent placements seeming… ever so slightly off. "It's still earth, and you're still you, but you may not be the you that you know."

"…I didn't follow any of that."

"Uh… y'know what, here, let me provide an actual example." The Matriarch waved, motioning to the nearby scree which Skorch summoned out of thin air. It came to life, and what sounded like a news station intro began playing, getting everyone's attention. The words 'Warper News Network' appeared. "This is rather tame, but considering this'll be the first time you're exposed to this, I think it's a fair place to start."

"WNN, the place that's not fake-conservative Fox, idiotically liberal MSNBC, questionably crazy like CNN, and more classy than Nude News Network. We're the Warper News Network bringing you our neutral outlook! Introducing your anchors in the bunker, Beerus and Whis." The announcer said as the camera shows the studio as the two were sitting at anchor's desk.

"That's… us…" Whis blinked. "But from another dimension?"

"Pretty much."

"Weird. Let's see where this goes." Beerus shrugged, genuinely curious about this.

"Ok, it's the end of the year. I may have been wrong about my earlier statements last month about the election. Not like it matters seeing we're screwed either way." Beerus admitted, rolling his eyes slightly. "But let's talk about DC."

Laughter could be heard from off-camera.

"Don't ask what they're talking about…"

"My lord, what's there to talk about. That 'I Am NOT Starfire' is an idea buried in the identity politics instead of actually telling a good story." Whis mused, taking a sip of coffee. "…so, nothing new there."

"Hm, that is me, but… not… me." Whis commented, intrigued by what they were watching.

"That's how alternate universes work." Akira shrugged. "This might be real, or it might be something someone made for fun on their own, it's hard to say."

"Why is it that Western comic book writers seem to hate the characters they made?" Goku asked off-screen, the camera panned over to him wearing casual clothes that looked wrong on him. As he looked up from a comic that he disregarded by throwing it over his shoulder. "It's great if you wanna try something new, Shenron knows we need that! But when they do…"

"This feels wrong." Goku commented. "I mean, I don't even look like a fighter!"

"Well, in this world, you aren't." Genevieve shrugged, the idea seeming blasphemous to Goku and Vegeta.

"This is why anime and manga have been kicking the West's teeth in. It's like they haven't learned anything." Vegeta said off-screen. "Nowadays if you want a decent animated series, it needs to be crowdfunded online and made by a team of freelancers."

"Some of them have. Western animation is improving…" Whis said hopefully.

"And The Boys was pretty good."

"Eh, wasn't a huge fan…" Beerus shrugged. "There's dark comedy, and then there's a twelve-year-old who thinks they can write like an adult. Kick-Ass had a similar issue. Still, you're on the point about the online thing…"

"Well, here's to 2021. The New 20's is upon us, and it'll be a better decade." Beerus said raising his mug before taking a hearty sip. "Hopefully."

"By the way, Rise of the TMNT was cancelled." Sharpner, the cameraman, said. Beerus spat his coffee out and then flung the cup at his head in anger, yelling in agitation.

"I told those idiots making a new TMNT right after the 2012 one was a dumb move…" Beerus said frustrated. "They were trying to make that show and those live-action movies at the same time, of course no-one was gonna know how to react! There was no consistency!"

"What the hell is he, er- I talking about?" Beerus asked, bewildered.

"Sad thing is…the show was pretty good. Could have been better, but it wasn't awful. April's design should have ditched the glasses though. Maybe they'll end up on Netflix." Vados said hopefully.

"…The same Netflix that decided Cuties was a good idea. Yeah, screw this. I'm done." Beerus said getting up and leaving, flipping everyone off (which censored it due to this being a news show).

SLAM!

"What's Cuties?" Videl asked with a raised brow.

"DON'T ASK." Skorch said with great agitation, seeming ready to murder someone over this.

"Well, have a happy Christmas, Hanukkah, and beyond. This is Warper News Network marking the end of 2020!" Vados said waving goodbye.

"That was weird." Gohan remarked.

Everyone dispersed, Skorch leaving to go get something and Goku found himself talking with Akira, finally coming back to the box Skorch had been chilling next to for the past bit.

"So, what's the deal with that box? Does it have Skorch's soul or something?" He asked, pointing to it.

"Right, well… it's a device a friend of ours made. It's designed to bring things form the Death Battles you've watched to your world, to help you train, or relax, or… any number of things, really."

Goku nervously looked at the Battle Box like it was going to spring through a monster. The others who had not watched the battles wondered what hell could unleashed. Runes on the side lit up, and seemed to pulsate, getting faster and faster, then the light suddenly died.

"Go ahead." Akira nodded.

Goten opened the box and the first thing he took out was a manga of Berserk which Goku kicked out of his hands and blasted it to smithereens.

"I didn't think we could have a video game made of us." Goku said taking it up. "'Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Definite Edition?' Were the other two good?"

"They were. I'm almost say 2 had better music. But that version in your hands adds in all the features from the other two games."

"After the next Death Battle I'll grab some old systems and hook em' up. The next one should be fun, lots of carnage and destruction."

"I'm surprised you can say war and carnage is okay for everyone." Genevieve snarked.

"I'm not their parents, so… that ain't on me." Skorch retorted.

"You've been using that excuse a lot, it's going to blow up in your face eventually." Genevieve muttered, Skorch just grinned in a 'I-really-don't-care-come-at-me' way.

"Fire-Skull. You said you were bringing food from another realm. I have yet to see it." Beerus remarked, looking to the Entity. "Don't make me destroy this-"

As if on cue, a flaming vortex appeared, and while initially those present believed that either Skorch's friend Kace, or a previous enemy would appear, two men walked out. One of them had a bushy brown heard and a skull-and-crossbones necklace. Except the skull was wearing a pan on its head, and the crossbones were knives. The second man had short hair, sunglasses, and a tank top.

"Wait, is that…" Whis began, recognizing two of the men from the show Skorch had shown them on the way back.

"Yo! Fire-F**ker!" The man called. "Get the fire f**kin' goin'! We about to make the biggest f**kin' Oreo-brownies up in this b**ch! Actually... Hold the f**k up. Is that…" Harley asked. "Yo, you wanna f**kin' tell me why the f**k a buncha anime characters are lookin' at us!?"

"They're who you're making this for."

"…huh. Okay." Harley shrugged. "Well, let's make this s**t and fry some liquor and grease motherf**ka!"

"Sup?" The second man nodded.

"Muscles, call the others. Hobo Jack Skellington, we need supplies, equipment, and someone else to help." Harley said, looking back to Skorch.

"Dawg, you're up." Skorch nodded to his friend, who seemed confused, then nodded.

"Okay, new kid. Grab that black sh*t and melt it down to a liquidly-sh*t you'd be happy to pour down your throat v****a you little b**ch." Harley ordered.

For the next hour and a half, Beerus was uncharacteristically silent, he was just watching the EMT crew work on making food that they had never seen before. Everyone got somewhat freaked out by his silence, but it got to a point where Skorch walked up, and taped a sign to Beerus' back. Still, those who were up for it decided to continue the 'Abridged' adventures from their past, picking up form where they left off.

"We're dead! We are dead! All dead! All gonna die! Dead men be we! A cornucopia of pain and despair is coming our way to ensure our demise! We are SO GOING TO DIE! WH-H-H-Y-Y-Y!?"

"I DID NOT REACT LIKE THAT!" Vegeta shouted, offended beyond words at how he was being portrayed (while other laughed).

"Neil…" Super Kami Guru spoke. "Slap him."

Slap!

"OW!" Abridged-Krillin exclaimed in pain.

"Thank you."

"Oh, c'mon…" Krillin muttered.

Every fiber of my being wants to puke at once when I say this, but I need your he… need your heeee…"

"You need our help?" Abridged-Gohan asked.

"Man, that's me. But… like twenty years ago!" Gohan blinked, seeing his younger self. "Skorch said that there were worlds where we were a show, but seeing this… I mean… it… I just…"

"Drink." Skorch ordered, handing Gohan his slushy, realizing the beginning signs of an existential panic attack.

"That. Yes." Abridged Vegeta commented.

"I still don't know if I should be amused, or offended." Piccolo commented. "It's clear they're enjoying this, way too much, and they probably don't know that we're real…"

"Hey, you're not the one with an 'Owned' counter." Krillin sulked.

"Heh, that is pretty amusing."

"…aw…."

Krillin Owned Count: 1suddenly appeared next to him.

"DON'T YOU DARE START WITH THAT!" The bald monk turned and yelled at Skorch, who was clearly enjoying this FAR too much. Later on, in the episode, the Ginyu Force had arrived.

Yay?

"Which means the other Dragon Balls are-"

"RIGHT BEHIND YOU." Abridged-Krillin squeaked.

"My God, man! You just cannot-"

"Shut up when I'm scared, I know. Ioncehadacrushonalittleindianboythatithoughtwasagirl."

"…please kill him. Seriously. He won't be missed." Abridged-Vegeta muttered.

"Eh, give it ten or eleven episodes." Skorch remarked off-handedly. Krillin froze, realizing what the Entity was implying, and looked back to him in shock. The episode continued and as it ended, Harley and his crew looked around and nodded to one another, wordlessly agreeing on something.

"FOOD'S ON BI****S!" Harley yelled, snapping everyone away from the screen and over to where the food was laid out. "Okay… So, that's the Candy BBQ, that's the Chocolate Pizza, that's the Black Legend, that's the Mega Oreo Brownie, that's the Pizza Sandwich, that's the All Bacon Burger." Harley commented, pointing to each confectionary concoction. They were both disgusting, but also looked delicious. Mostly the later. Actually, to Whis and Beerus, it was entirely the latter. "And cause there's kids here, we didn't add Canadian Water to anything. But uh, if ya wanna…" He trailed off, holding up a bottle of whiskey. "Also, I don't know what that thing is…" He finished, pointing to what looked like a cake with two pans worth of brownies and another cake on top of it, being supported by cookies, and dripping melted chocolate and peanut butter.

"I made that one." Mad Dawg waved. "I call it, The Apocalypse."

"I approve." Harley nodded, and Mad Dawgs' eyes shined in admiration.

"That is an amalgamation of culinary nightmares fused into one that no one in their right mind should ever have created. I call first dibs." Beerus said, eyes wide.

"Let's f**kin' eat!"

And so, they did. The Z-Crew and EMT crew ate like pigs. Gorging on the overabundance of confectionary, regardless of what their personal views or diets were.

"I have to admit… this is disgusting." Chichi bristled, then took a bite of the Black Legend. "But it's also delicious!"

"I know, right?" Videl nodded. "How do they come up with this stuff!?"

"Booze." Harley answered, suddenly taking a long drink from a bottle of whiskey. A jazzy tune played from Genevieve's BlackTab. "It...it can't be." Akira muttered, his eyes widening.

Genevieve took it up checking the caller ID and lit up with an infectious level. Namekians and humans on their planets suddenly jumped to see plants and flowers suddenly blooming.

"So, someone wants to explains what's got them in a good mood?" Goten asked.

"Our oldest son, Ace Blackthorn, is calling. And we've been unable to reach him and he's been unable to reach us for a long time!" Akira explained as Genevieve answered the phone.

"Otousan, okaasan, it's been too long…but I finally got through. How've you been?" The voice came from the other side of the line.

"Who's Ace?" Goku asked.

"Ace… Damn. Ain't seen that guy since the second world I visited!" Skorch mused "Whatever. Let's go watch some giant monsters kill each other…"

Understanding that what was happening may be a personal affair, the Z-Crew nodded, leaving to head into the lounge to watch another episode of Death Battle.
