Today's duel is a battle between two people battling between the forces of good and evil. Cole Macgrath, the bringer of destruction from infamous. And Starkiller, the most powerful jedi in the galaxy. And it's my job to analyze their weapons, armor, strengths, and skills to see who would win, a death battle.
Cole Macgrath
Background:
Cole Mcgrath was a bike messenger living an ordinary life. All things were going well until one day where he was given a job to deliver a package to someone in the historic district of Empire City. He got a call from his boss to go to the intersection between the 19th and Sloat. However he got the wrong address. He gets another call from a person named Kessler. He is told to open the package. He refuses until he offered the most powerful force of all, money. He opens it but it turns out it was a Ray Sphere which activated and made an explosion that wiped out several blocks. After that he was brought to the hospital as one of the survivors. His life was being torn apart until he discovered his new powers. He decided to use these powers to help those in need.
Abilities:
Before his accident he practiced Urban Exploration. This means he has several parkour abilities. He can walk on thin wires and climb tall buildings with ease. He's also really tough. Before the blast he survived being hit by a truck. But after the blast Cole was given a special new super power...electrokinesis. With this electrokinesis he can channel electricity throughout his body. He can combine this with his hand to hand combat to shock foes. He can make plasma blades around his arms to chop them to pieces. He can sense electrical pulses like a radar and can read the minds of deceased people. With it he can find people who were involved with that person's death by finding an "echo". He can shoot electricity out of his hands with his lightning abilities. With this he can channel them through currents and travel to other enemies. He can charge it up for the overload blast or snipe people with precision. He can create magnetic fields and charge his body with enough electricity to explode upon impact with thunder drop. He can make small balls of electricity to bounce off walls and explode after a few bounces with shock grenade. He can make an electrical rocket that can charge forward and explode upon impact with the megawatt hammer. Knock foes in the air with the TK blast. His static thruster ability can allow him to hover and grind on metal railings and wires with Induction grind. Create a shield with polarity wall. He can absorb neuroelectric energy from people to recover from damage. However his Ionic Manipulation is one of his greatest abilities. Allowing him to conjure hurricanes and lightning storms.. He can also fill himself with good or evil energy to make him more powerful. If he goes with good karma he can manipulate ice. But if he goes with evil karma he can manipulate Napalm for fire abilities. Or have unlimited power with the temporary karmic overload. He can use a form of telekinesis with metallic objects. And the Ray Sphere explosion gave him increased strength and durability.
Achievements:
He was strong enough to hold up a support beam on his own. Able to free fall without any damage, survive small explosions, and be buried alive under a tower. His healing ability prevents him from getting sick from diseases. Defeated his future self, who was Kessler. And defeated the beast single handedly.
Weaknesses:
However as tough as he is strong diseases can harm him. And while he has lots of abilities he needs to absorb electricity to keep the fight going. He cannot make it naturally. And he exerts electricity from his body which doesn't sound so bad...but it is very dangerous to himself. He is weak to water as water is a conductor and he will effectively shock himself to death if submerged in it. And if he comes near anything mechanical or gunpowder, it will explode in his face.
But still, Cole Macgrath is one of the most powerful users of electrical energy ever.
Starkiller
Background:
Several years after order 66 was put to use...the emperor had most jedis killed. Making it easy for him to take over. However there were survivors. And he sent his right hand man Darth Vader to wipe them out. And he did a pretty good job at it. But one day after tracking down a rogue jedi Vader discovered something more powerful than him. Galen Marek was forced to see Vader kill his father before his own eyes. But Vader spared him when he saw he was strong with the force. He took him in and secretly trained him to be his apprentice. And he was then code named Starkiller. His purpose was to help Vader's secret plan of overthrowing the emperor and taking it over. Until he was discovered and Vader was forced to kill him. Or so it would seem. He was brought back by vader and would continue his training with the jedi. Vader backstabbed him though and in result he retaliated with one final choice. He fought the emperor in the death star and again supposedly died. But Vader brought back him back once more. But this one fought back as well and maintained all the skills of the one from the first story.
Abilities:
Starkiller naturally being a badass in the star wars universe carries the iconic lightsaber. Which is a plasma blade that can cut through almost anything. But what's more awesome than a lightsaber? Two of them. He can wield two lightsabers at once with extreme efficiency. Cutting through foes with quick strikes. But the thing about his skill with a lightsaber is that every jedi has a style to use for his blade(s). But in the words of Rahm Kota,"…can't identify the style, and it would help me understand you if you'd tell me who your original teacher was." He is familiar all 7 combat styles of saber combat. But his most used combat style is a combination of Juyo, Shien, and Soresu. This makes him aggressive, swift, focused, ready on the defense, and above all else...unpredictable. He can change his use of styles on the fly making it difficult to prevent attacks from this guy. And his training with proxy makes him familiar with such duelists like obi wan kenobi. But his real power comes from his use in the force. Unlike other jedi he combines both the light and dark side as he has training with both. The force is a mysterious thing that can be used in several ways. Like telekinesis where he can lift and throw objects of enormous size. He can use the force push to push foes back with enough force to shatter their skeletons. He can even break down metal sealed doors with the force push. He can even charge it up for a more devastating blast. The force repulse is where he charges his body with force energy to create an explosive blast to push everything back. He can use this to guide his lightsaber when he throws it. He can redirect fired missiles and ballistics. He can even use it for extreme manipulation as he is seen putting his lightsaber back together with the force. His use of the force was strong enough to change the direction of a star destroyer and bring it down to the ground. Which proves the force has no limits. He also mastered force lightning where he can shoot lightning and kill a foe with a single blast, override machines, or combat in awesome clashes. He can amplify the lightning in his lightsaber strikes to shock them even further making his strikes more dangerous. How do you shoot electricity out of your hands you may ask. Well the force lightning is really the dark side of the force creating energy and expressing itself. He doesn't just shoot it...he can deflect it with his lightsaber or his own bare hands. He can combine the force push and force lightning for the sith seeker where a ball of electricity blows through everything. He can use the mind trick on foes to disarm them, make them forget he's even there or what they were doing, or lose consciousness in battle. With this he can make entire armies lose focus and become very sloppy. The force speed can make him dart across entire areas and reach further distances. But his greatest ability is when he uses the full power of the dark side, the Force Fury. The force fury is a beserker mode pretty much where he has,"...unlimited POWEEEEEEEEER!" His force powers are infinite, speed upgraded, strength further improved, more aggressive, and completely binded in the force lightning. He can even summon and absorb lightning in this phase as seen in his battle with Vader. Piss him off bad enough, and it can stay as long as he needs it.
Feats:
Galen Marek has accomplished a lot in his career. As in his apprentice state he was tough enough to defeat General Kota, Kazdan Paratus, Shaak Ti, Maris Brood, PROXY(every single time), his master Vader, and even the emperor. He could defeat giant robots, rancors, and the gorog. And remember that star destroyer feat? Yeah...that's over 1,600 meters long. He is tough enough to free fall from massive heights with no damage, man enough to survive being impaled, and survive in space long enough for Vader to find and bring him back. And his use of the force is so strong that even the emperor was impressed. But his greatest feat is when he needed some extra training. So he went to the jedi temple to find the hologram room. In it he battled his future dark side self and won.
Weaknesses:
He doesn't have many weaknesses outside of some bad temper issues that make him very aggressive. He also tends to focus on one opponent and ignores everything around him leaving him open for outside attacks. He can be lost without someone to show him the way and he clearly has more experience with the dark side. He is unable some of the more subtle uses of the force. As he needs more training in order to do so.
But he is without a doubt...THE most powerful Jedi to have ever existed.
The Battle
The battle will take place in Empire City with ZERO prep time or knowledge of each other. And so...with that said, it's time FOR A DEATH BATTLE!
In Empire City there are storm troopers and star destroyers wrecking everything. A squadron of them are confronted by Cole. They try to shoot him but he takes no damage. He just absorbs their shots and blows them away. A few survive and Cole gets ready until a lightsaber chops their heads off. Cole is puzzled by it as it is redirected back to a man in the shadows. He comes out and reveals himself. "What's this?" Starkiller asks,"The empire has another sith to fight me."
"Sith?"Cole says as he's puzzled,"I don't know what a sith is. But you need to leave. I can take care of this." Starkiller is puzzled by this and threatens Cole,"Is that so? I'm more capable than you could ever be."
Cole stops in his tracks and turns around. He then asks,"Is that a challenge?"
"You bet!" Starkiller replies sharply. "Very well then,"Cole says before he fires some electricity at him. Starkiller blocks it with his lightsaber as he then dashes forward with his blade out. Cole makes his plasma blades to clash with them. Cole then knocks him up with the electric pulse. He tries to shock him again but Starkiller blocks it once more. He follows with the force push to knock him off the ground. Cole uses his parkour abilities to escalate higher up the tower with Starkiller trying to knock him down with the force. He throws some objects at Cole which he blocks with his shield. When cole gets to the top he uses the thunder drop to get Starkiller off his feet. Cole chucks some objects at Starkiller which he pushes back. This continues on until Cole pushes it away and charges forward with his plasma blades again. But this time Starkiller knocks him around a bit and slashes him with his lightsaber. But to his surprise Cole gets up unphased. In fact it healed him. Cole gets up close and takes some of Starkiller's energy but the force repulse pushes him away. Cole gets on his feet and uses the TK blast followed by the megawatt hammer. This gets Starkiller beaten up again. Cole then uses a lightning strike on him to push him away and slowly damage him. But Starkiller begins to block it with his two hands and pushes him back. When gets up Starkiller draws his second lightsaber. They go at it again but every time Starkiller struck him it never hurt him. With his static thruster he gets a good distance from him. But Starkiller grabs him with the force and knocks him to the ground again. Starkiller moves forward, impales Cole, and pushes him back with the force where he grabs him again and throws his lightsaber to impale him once more. He gets his lightsaber back and chucks Cole into the wall where it collapses. Cole gets up from the wreckage and conjures a hurricane which gets Starkiller off guard once more. While he's distracted Cole continuously shocks Starkiller and wraps it up with the megawatt hammer. This knocks Starkiller out of the window and begins free falling. Cole follows and catches up with the Induction grind. He knocks Starkiller around some more and crushes him with two metallic objects. He then uses a magnetic field to draw the lightsaber closer and impale Starkiller. Which he tops off with throwing him into a truck. Cole lands unphased. Starkiller gets up and Cole throws an electric grenade at him which blows him off the road. Cole then attempts to end it with an electric blast but he's all out. Starkiller dashes again and impales him twice. He then uses his quick strikes to strike him down. Which he tops off with the sith seeker. Cole however refuels from this and gets back in the game. He uses the firebird with the ionic manipulation but Starkiller disarms it with the force. Cole enters his Karmic Overload and Starkiller enters the Force Fury. They come at each other with quick electric strikes but when Starkiller gives a blow Cole absorbs it. Cole tries to wrap it up with the lightning storm but Starkiller takes it to charge him up and they begin a clash of electric energy. It goes on for a while and ends with an explosion which takes Starkiller down. He gets up with his lightsabers being taken by Cole. Cole goes to end this by chopping Starkiller's head off. But then Starkiller uses the mind trick on Cole. There is a moment of silence. And it ends with Cole asking,"What the hell am I doing here? And...what are these blades?" Starkiller takes the opportunity and pummels him to the ground. And then he uses the force to crush him in an instant. Ending the battle. Starkiller lies down to recover from his injuries while Cole's remains burn in the fire.
Reasoning:
This was an extremely close battle. As they counter each other pretty well. Starkiller is more powerful, but Cole has more abilities. Starkiller could beat him down over and over, but Cole could heal himself. Starkiller has better weapons, but Cole can use the environment more. And since the lightsabers are made of plasma, the same matter lightning is made of, Cole could always sense where Starkiller was. But Starkiller could do the same with his force. And the lightsaber could not kill Cole as it would just power him up more since it's made of plasma. But Starkiller could reflect anything Cole could throw at him. And they match each other in durability, speed, strength, stamina, you name it. And the force lightning would just keep Cole going. Making him strong enough to outlast the Force Fury. So it sounds like Cole should win this. But Starkiller's training and unpredictability lead him to gain an edge in combat. And his use of the force could counter any projectiles or damage Cole could've done. But the most important factor is the mind trick. Which can be used to make you forget what you were just doing. And Cole may be a non conduit human which makes him resistant, he's not immune. And the mind trick's limitation is the will of enemies. So Starkiller could make him forget what he was doing and finish him there. Or he could crush Cole with the force. This is a very shocking conclusion I know.
The Winner is Starkiller.
Next time it's Mario VS Sonic once again, Rosalina VS Silver.
