Hey everyone! The name's Skorch, full name SkorchNTorch. I've always been a fan of 'Characters React to Death Battle' fics and there's always been a few I considered writing. Mortal Kombat, X-Men, Overwatch and a few others… Any who, I was jumpin' around and found this story 'The Z Fighters Reacts to Death Battle!' turns out that JLyman was putting the story up for adoption, so… Here we are!
So… before the story begins, I got a few things to say. First of all, some of the battles will have… different conclusions. I'll do my best to keep it honest, and the way Death Battle does it (because I much more a Boomstick than I am a Wiz) but some of them just… Needed a little editing (DS). Also, the Gaara vs Toph and Goku v Superman will most likely remain unaltered, due to the fact that the research done for the battles were very well done. Also, with the former of the two, I don't really know anything about Naruto or Avatar (haven't watched either, sorry.) Anyhow, also, some of the fights will be altered, and possibly an outcome or two, but for the most part the actual fights themselves will be left as is, however, some of the facts, and banter will be changed so we don't lose this story due to copyright issues (thanks to MrGoodyTwoShoes, DoctorWhoDat and WargishBoromirFan for point this out, I don't wanna end up in trouble and I don't think you guys wanna lose the story. So, chapter's one and two are going to be updated.)
2022 UPDATE: I've updated the chapter, again. I'll upload the old stuff… somewhere else. But yeah, I'm re-tooling pretty much everything.
After a brief break to get more food, it was time for another episode, and Bulma hit play on the remote.
(*Cue Invader – Jim Johnson)
"Super Heroines. Whether they're from Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse or any other brand, millions have been drawn to these modern myths of comic book lore." Wiz stated as images of comic covers appeared of women wearing, (somewhat) revealing clothing.
"Or you could, uh, y'know, just be drawn to the way they're drawn. Get my drift?" Boomstick added under his breath with a laugh.
"Ignoring Boomstick's comment… Any of you ever think that maybe, I dunno, we might be comic characters in some other reality?" Mr. Satan coughed.
"What do you mean by that?" Trunks asked, interested.
"Well, if in one world these characters are real, but another they exist as nothing more than comic characters, would it be too far-fetched to believe the same might apply to us?"
Everyone present paused and thought that over, it was a… surprisingly well thought out concept for Hercule of all people.
"That'd be cool!" Goku exclaimed, not knowing how right he was. "Having people read about our fights, and battles, man that'd be amazing!"
"They'd also see us at our worst." Piccolo dryly commented.
"But they'd see us getting better!" Goku countered, raising a surprisingly good point.
"Like Anna Marie, the Southern X-Man known as Rogue."
"And Diana Prince, the Wonder Woman Amazon Warrior from Themyscira!"
Two images came onto screen, one of a woman wearing orange and green with yellow gloves and brown hair with a white streak down to the side. The other woman wore a golden chest piece a red undershirt with two silver gauntlets and boots. She was currently holding a golden lasso and had a tiara on her head. There was something… noticeable about both women and Roshi could feel several sets of eyes boring into him, he however, kept his composure and kept watching, a nervous sweat developing.
"Normally those colours don't work together, but she makes that work." Bulma admitted.
"He's Boomstick and I'm Wizard!" Wiz continued with the intro
"And we're here to watch two chicks duke it out! CATFIGHT!" Boomstick yelled.
"Not. One. Word." Chi-Chi said with a slight growl, continuing to give Roshi a death glare.
"I'll make no promises." Roshi simply replied, but then gulped when he saw the looks he was getting form the women, Vegeta and Piccolo.
"Right… And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills-"
"And maybe a few other things." Boomstick cut in.
"What are they talking about?" Goten asked innocently.
"Supernatural feats most likely." Piccolo replied with a shrug, saving everyone form the awkward real answer. "I get the feeling that just like Akuma and Shang Tsung, they're more than mortals."
"-to find out who would win... a Death Battle."
"That is still cool." Chaoztsu commented.
(*Cues: X-Men (2000) - The X-Jet )
"Rogue has possessed a variety of different powers over the years. Not to mention multiple incarnations form a teenager struggling to fit in, to the leader of the X-Men, to even a member of the Avengers!" Wiz began as different images were shown of Rouge at different points in her life.
"She's also been a bad guy more than once, but hey. Who hasn't?" Boomstick added as an image of Rouge in dark clothing with a wicked grin on her face appeared.
"Well, there's us." Goku answered. However, not many people seemed to agree right away.
"Goku, I want you to stop and think for a minute." Piccolo instructed. "Look at who's on your right, and look at who else is in the room."
"…Right…" Goku finally spoke awkwardly, realizing his mistake.
"But this duel in particular, we will use the most well-known version; the original iteration from the Uncanny X-Men comics and freakin' amazing X-Men television show in the 80's." Wiz clarified. Several images appeared, first, one that seemed to be a cover to a book, titled 'The Avengers' the cover depicted dozens of people wearing odd costumes, for example, one of them wore gold and red armor. A text box appeared in the top right corner of this image reading: "Rouge officially debuted in Avengers Annual #10 in 1988".
"1988? How long ago was that?" Goku asked, scratching his head.
"Dunno." Videl shrugged. "But I get the feeling a lot of those guys on the cover there will be in Death Battles down the line."
"Awesome! More fighters!"
"Yeah, believe you me. If we were to try and incorporate both fighter's multiple incarnations across literal multiverses, we'd be here all day!" Boomstick exclaimed, exasperated.
"Wait. MULTIVERSES?!" Bulma spoke up, clearly shocked. "I thought that was just a theory!"
"Maybe, maybe not." Gohan shrugged. "It sounds crazy, but then again, aren't these fighters real in their own worlds? Maybe there's so much more than any of us understand…"
"Rouge's main and deadliest weapon is her own skin. With just a touch, she absorbs a person's memories, talents, personalities, and abilities, whether superhuman or not, to use them herself." Wiz explained as a chart appeared along with a video showing Rouge absorbing someone else's powers. The video was… unsettling, to say the very least.
Power Absorption
- Activated Through Any Form Of Physical Contact
- Absorbs Memories, Talents, Personalities, And Abilities (While that certainly seemed interesting, it also felt like a massive violation of one's personal space and personal 'self'. Even Piccolo knew that mind-melding was only to be done consensually.)
- Temporary Transfer, Mostly
- Can Use Copied Abilities (Again, Temporarily)
- Can Be Lethal With Prolonged Contact (That was a concerning idea to those watching…)
"Her powers seem a lot like Cell's ability to…" Gohan began, but trailed off. Bringing up him was usually a bad thing to do, and it left more than a few feeling a bit unnerved.
"Well, it seems that she has no control over it, whether someone wants to or not, she'll take it anyways." Tien commented still slightly unnerved at the memory of that monster. The fighters all looked to one another, all nervously remembering the fight that cost them so much, but they still had come out victorious.
"But just form the looks of it, she both only uses her powers to fight evil, and has no real control over them." Chi-Chi finally said. "I don't think it's fair to compare her to that… thing."
"Too bad her powers knock whoever the lucky bastard is out cold, and if she holds on long enough, it's game over for them!"
"She can kill just by touch and has no control? That's probably the worst hand ever dealt to a hero." Bulma commented, feeling bad for Rouge. "That probably means she's had little form of physical connection as well…"
"Is it just living beings who can die? Or do plants and animals die if she touches them?" Trunks asked, feeling a bit nervous about such a power.
"Tenacious foes like Juggernaut can resist it, but in the end, nobody is safe from Rogue's parasitic touch. For every second of contact, Rogue can keep these powers for a full minute. However, this has led to unforeseen side effects..." Wiz continued with his explanation.
"Like the mornings after five bottles of sake at Kame House…" Krillin said aloud.
"Oh, shut up Krillin!" Roshi snapped. "We agreed not to talk about that!"
"Am I missing something?" Android 18 asked, somewhat amused.
"No." The two said in unison.
"…such as the time she –for some reason- kissed Deadpool, and was briefly given his powers… along with his illness'…"
An image appeared of Rouge kissing a man in shadows, then violently throwing up.
"Is it weird I now really wanna know who this 'Dead Pool' is?" Trunks commented.
"Not really." Goten replied. "What could make her sick like that? Why would she do that!?"
(*Cues: X-Men Theme - Hard Rock Remix*)
"So, if she touched one of us for five seconds, she'd have the powers of a Sayian for five MINUTES?" Vegeta muttered, putting together what was said. It was rather unnerving... even with the time limit, they'd most likely feel weakened, and that would make fighting her even harder...
"Not to mention that she held on to Ms. Marvel for so long she absorbed her powers permanently. Because of that good ol' touchy feel, she's got super strength, speed, and near invulnerability. Not that I blame her, though. I'd be holdin' on to Ms. Marvel for as long as I could!" Boomstick declared, listing off her new permanent powers.
"Yup." Roshi simply said in agreement. Earning a few annoyed looks from the women.
"Then when she was- OW!" Boomstick yelled, as the sound of someone hitting him could be heard.
"No, NO! Bad Boomstick, BAD!" Wiz yelled.
"Ow! Where'd you get that newspaper?!"
"Bad Boomstick! Go to your 'Stick House!" Wiz ordered.
"Aw…" Boomstick whined, shuffling off.
"…well, Wiz seems to have some control over him." Piccolo smirked, a bit amused by their interactions.
Ms. Marvel's Powers
- Super Strength (Nearly as tough as the Hulk) ("Who?" Was asked by a few.)
- Flight at Subsonic Speed
- Near-Invulnerability (Still Mortal However)
- Enhanced Reflexes
- Telepathic Resistance (To An Extent)
"Rouge also gained a seventh sense, the ability to unconsciously predict her opponents' moves. Kind of like a super warning bell. Very much in the same league as Spider-Man's Spidey Sense." Wiz continued as another list of powers appeared.
"Wait. Spider-Man?" Yamcha deadpanned. "Did he just say…"
"Yes." Tien nodded. "I don't know who or what that could be, but he did say that."
"Well, her seventh sense doesn't seem to always work… That or the writers just forgot about it 'cause, uh, Rogue gets her ass kicked a lot. Like Daredevil levels of getting your ass kicked. DD at least has the excuse that he's blind! What's Rouge's reason?!"
"There's a blind superhero? That dosen't seem very effective." Vegeta remarked.
"Relying on your eyes is a weakness a fighter must overcome if they wish to truly succeed." Roshi piped up in a clam tone. Again, despite being perverted and well, perverted. He was still a wise master in the ways of fighting. And a massive pervert.
"Plot convenience." Wiz replied flatly, clearly annoyed. "It's one of the curses of writing a believable super hero, sometimes a single power can make them nearly invincible."
"Yeah." Gohan sighed. "That's why I never really got into a lot of comics growing up… they had great ideas, but they made the heroes so overpowered that it made it impossible to give them a real challenge."
"Your kind is making comics off of me?" Vegeta snarked.
A scene was shown of a man in red and black spandex suddenly appearing behind her and upper cutting her. Sending her flying backwards and sprawling onto the ground.
"SHORYUKEN! Wait. I'm not supposed to be in his epido-"
The scene suddenly cut to another, confusing everyone as to what just happened.
"What was that about?" 18 asked aloud. No one answered.
Piccolo looked over to Gohan who looked confused.
"What?" He asked.
"Dodge." The namekian simply replied, and Gohan gave him a flat look.
"And damn, she's got a hot ass." Boomstick remarked.
Most of the women grimaced or were still angry after his last remark, and Roshi began to say something until…
"Don't. They'll kill you." Piccolo telepathically told him.
"But…"
"Comment on her butt, and it's yours they'll rip a new one in."
"Aw… It's still hot though!"
"…well…"
"Really?" Wiz replied, clearly annoyed.
"Hey, that counts as a superpower in my book, Wiz! While she's not invincible, she doesn't have any real weaknesses either. She's a classy southern belle, who I'd like to take out to dinner." Boomstick replied, his tone suggesting a shrug.
"Admittedly he's not wrong it that regard." Trunks commented, somewhat awkwardly.
"...Who can fly, lift buildings, and kill people just by touching them." Wiz stated matter-of-factly
"Uh, Never mind!"
"Ain't that enough?" Rouge asked with a smirk.
After the doors closed, Bulma paused the video and looked to the others.
"Ignoring that one remark… what do you all think?" She asked, still slightly miffed.
"She seems like her power sapping abilities are helpful, but I can't say how effective they'll be in battle." Piccolo commented. "She dosen't exactly seem like a fighter."
"Well, neither did Shang Tsung." Goku shrugged.
"And he lost dad." Gohan dryly replied.
"I'd have to see about the other combatant, but if she can copy someone's powers just by touching them, I'd say that could be a pretty big advantage." 18 reasoned. "She wouldn't even have to hold her down for the kill, just use their own powers against them and exploit their inability to stop their own attacks." It was quiet for a moment until:
"Sound familiar?" Someone commented.
"Don't start with that crap…" She groaned, annoyed.
"Not sure how well she was trained, but she seems like she has a decent chance." Tien shrugged. "The power absorption should be helpful though."
(*Cues: Wonder Woman (2009) - Ending Theme*)
"To the uneducated nerd, and anyone who clicked on this video without really knowing what's going on, Wonder Woman may seem a cheap female clone of Superman." Wiz introduced the second fighter.
"What if we don't know what's going on? Or who Superman is?" Videl countered with a raised brow.
"With Superboobies!" Boomstick jumped in without missing a beat.
"Not…saying…anything…" Roshi murmured, shrinking back somewhat.
"Who's Superman?" Buu asked. Everyone looked to one another then shrugged.
"Probably someone we'll see in another episode." Goku simply replied.
Oh boy…
But in reality, she's a whole different story. Created from earth, from clay, and born by gods, trained by ancient Amazonian warriors..."
"Maker of Wonder Bread! Designer of the Wonderbra!" Boomstick cut him off.
"Boomstick, that's not true!" Wiz shouted angrily at his co-host. This did get a few laughs form those who were watching.
"Man, this comic-writing stuff is easy!" Boomstick remarked.
"Sure." Bulma flatly commented, rolling her eyes. Yes, comics could be an incredible medium of story telling, but other times, they could be utter garbage.
"Ugh… Wonder Woman is the incredibly powerful and nearly invincible ambassador of Themyscira, and self-appointed protector of the Earth. She's a founding member of the Justice League and part of the Trinity. She's survived due to her vastly superior training, and has literally been to hell and back to protect those she cares for." Wiz explained as footage rolled of Wonder Woman taking down bad guys left and right.
"And she dresses like a stripper... a patriotic stripper!"
"You're fine with exposing our children to this?!" Chi-Chi growled.
"Yes." Goku nodded. "Because it shows them how not to treat women." Chi-Chi seemed less than impressed with his answer.
"They why do you let them hang around Roshi?" Piccolo asked.
"Um… I'll get back to you on that." Goku awkwardly replied.
Master Combatant
- Trained since Childhood
- Skilled At Armed And Unarmed Combat
- Prefers Fists Over Blades (Goku and a few others agreed)
- The Best Of The Amazons (and that's saying something!)
"This might seem weird, but she kinda seems like a Saiyan." Videl said, looking to her husband. "Trained from a young age, super powers protector of earth…"
"Yeah you're right!" Goten spoke up liking what the Amazonian a bit more.
"Diana Prince has been trained by the Amazons as a master combatant in almost every style since childhood. She dueled the best of the best for the right to be crowned Wonder Woman, a title given to only the absolute greatest of warriors. Her unearthly powers are divine, granted by ancient Greek gods and goddesses. From Demeter, she received superhuman strength and durability."
Powers From Demeter
- Superhuman Strength
- Superhuman Durability (Resists all but Blades and Bullets)
- Magic Resistance
- Enhanced Healing
(*Cues: Justice League - Main Theme*)
"And you know that bitch Mailman god with the wingy shoes?" Boomstick commented.
"Hermes the messenger?" Wiz corrected
"Yeah, him. He gave Wonder Woman the ability to fly and move at hypersonic speed! And not just fast, but like, not physically able to see her move fast!"
Powers From Hermes
- Flight up to Mach-5 Speed (That surprised a number of those watching)
- Superhuman Reflexes (Faster than Superman)
- Superhuman Speed (Up to Hyper-Sonic)
"Wait, how many Gods are there?!" Oolong asked bewildered.
"Well, there's Kami, Enma, Kaiō…" Tien began listing off the Gods they currently knew of, and somewhere far away, a purple sphynx-like cat leaned up from his nap and looked around before shrugging and going back to sleep. "…and that's all the ones I can think of."
"Well, considering that these two come from completely different worlds, would it really be so hard to assume that different worlds have different Gods?" 18 asked.
"Dimensional Gods or not, nothing changes, I'd still be able to beat any of them in a fight!" Vageta scoffed dismissively with a wave. Majin Buu nodded in agreement, giving a 'Hm!'
"Oh yeah, I guess Scorch would count as one too." Goku suddenly added. "He said something like he was in charge of the worlds that existed outside of ours or something… I dunno, he had a mouth full of melted marshmallows at that point."
After hearing that, everyone present turned shocked to Goku who looked around confused. All having no clue who he was talking about.
"What? He said he was taking over because some other guy was done, something along the lines of… Lee-man or something…"
Unsure of how to react, everyone just turned back to the TV.
Other Powers
- Enhances Sight, Smell. Hearing, Touch, Taste
- Multi-Lingual
- Increased Wisdom
- Superior Empathy ("As opposed to regular empathy?" Tien snarked. "I can think of a few people who could stand to learn that…" Chi-Chi muttered.)
- Other Useless Stuff (Can talk to animals)
"What would you need advanced taste for?" Goten asked, confused.
"I can think of a few things." Roshi spoke up. After making that comment, the men all sweat-dropped, and the women all turned to face the old man. "What? Ever thought about the fact that an easy and quiet way to kill someone is with poison? If you had enhanced taste, you'd be able to tell within the first drop, and that just might save your life."
The room went silent, surprised that Roshi had been think strategies this time, rather than… what he normally thought about.
"Also you could probably-"
"Alright!"
"She was given numerous other powers from enhanced senses, animal rapport, and blessings of wisdom and empathy. Making her a rational thinker, and over the voice of reason." Wiz added.
"Again. As opposed to regular empathy?" Tien stated.
"Yeah, despite being an absolute BEAST in battle, she prefers to try and help or reform her rivals rather than outright kill them. Making her the heart in the Trinity. And aside from the obvious cannons rested right below her neck…" Boomstick explained.
"Yu- HEY! HEY! I AIN'T SAYIN' IT!" Roshi protested, covering his face from Chi-Chi's rolling pin.
"…she's got a pretty bizarre mix of weaponry. Aside from her warrior sword and shield, her Lasso of Truth is a piece of unbreakable string that, well, makes you tell the truth."
Lasso of Truth
- Forged by Hephaestus ("Who?" Was asked by a few people.)
- Unbreakable
- Infinitely Elastic
- Forces Prisoners to Tell the Truth
"I'll be honest, that would probably be helpful with some of the idiots I have to deal with down at the precinct." Krillin muttered.
"What? You want a lasso so you can catch the bad guys?" 18 smirked. "Do you also want a horse to chase them down on?"
"That's not what I meant!" he exclaimed, making some people in the room laugh.
"Wouldn't he need a pony?" Goku asked.
"Goku, not you too!"
"What other depraved thoughts must you be thinking?"
"God, your daughters got a nice rack."
"Hell yeah, she does!" Roshi and Boomstick exclaimed simultaneously.
Before anyone could say anything, Roshi was hit on the top of his head. His eyes rolled and he swayed about before muttering something inaudible and falling backwards onto the floor. A few of the fighters looked to Chi-Chi, but no one decided to say anything. Even Goku just remained quiet and kept watching.
"She uses her tiara as a long-range throwing weapon, using its razor-sharp edge to slice open her enemies' throat. Heck, that's the fastest way to use it, it's sharp enough to chip limbs off if she throws it hard enough!" Wiz explained as the fighters got a good look at her tiara.
Boomerang Tiara
- Returns after Each Use
- Razor-Sharp Edge
- Can Cut Through Most Substances
- Impractical Yet Awesome ("Totally!" Videl cheered)
As if to prove this, she grabbed her tiara and threw it hard, a winged creature shrieked in pain as it sliced its head clean off, blood spewing out as its lifeless body fell to the ground.
"Seems a lot like your destructo discs Krillin." Goku commented.
"That actually seems kinda cool." The monk mused. "Hey Bulma, you think you could create some sort of throwing weapon like that?"
"You mean like a chakram?" Mr. Satan asked, making the sayians turn in surprise to him. "They're essentially a Frisbee of death that's made out of steel with a razor-sharp edge to it."
"How do you know that?" Piccolo asked.
"I studied more than hand-to-hand combat." He shrugged. "Also, movies."
"Wonder Babe here uses the Bracelets of Submission, and no, they're not what you think. Instead of being something for having a good time, they're indestructible steel gauntlets forged from the remains of Zeus' legendary Aegis. These babies can block all sorts of attacks; bullets, magic, fire, lasers, it's AWESOME!" Boomstick exclaimed.
Bracelets of Submission (Roshi wisely remained silent)
- Indestructible
- Formed from the Aegis of Zeus
- Blocks Most Other Attacks (Most of the fighters now wanted to know what the heck they were made out of, and where they could find this material.)
- Can Discharge Lighting (Insert AC/DC joke here.)
"She has persevered throughout the years, fighting a huge variety of foes, even killing the Greek God of War, Ares." Wiz added
"Hear that, Kratos? A chick beat you to it!" Boomstick laughed.
"Who's Kratos?" Gohan asked.
"My guess is someone we'll see in future episodes." Bulma shrugged. "But it also was the Greek word for the divine personification of strength."
"The hell are you talking about? My name isn't Kratos." Vegeta commented.
"She said 'Strength' not 'Ego'." Piccolo dryly commented. Vegeta's head snapped over to the namekian and gave him an 'after this is done, we're fighting' look.
"Not to mention that after a gorgon turned an innocent child to stone, Wonder Woman went into hell itself to save that child. While blind." Wiz emphasized that last part.
"Wow. She literally went blindly into hell." Krillin commented, amazed.
Wonder Woman bashed the edge of the shield down to Mad Harriet. "Let's see you smile now!" She snarled, the creature's mouth bloody and filled with shattered teeth.
"Ouch… hope they have a decent dental plan on Themiscrya…"
The doors closed once again.
"I like her." Chi-Chi smiled. "She seems to be motivated by purity and a drive to do good. I like that."
"Her training seems interesting, if the Amazonians are the warriors Wiz and Boomstick are claiming to be, then she should have a decent chance at winning." Piccolo said.
"My money is on Wonder Woman." Krillin shrugged. "She's far better trained, not to mention better weapons."
"Agreed." Mr. Satan nodded. "She's been trained by a warrior race since birth, she's clearly got the advantage here. Also, I don't thing Rouge even had weapons aside from her powers."
"But Rouge can kill someone just by touching them. I think that might be a game-changer." Goku commented.
"Yes, but they did say stronger foes can resist her powers." Tien added. "What good are powers if someone can simply shrug it off? Diana is a God after all."
"True. I believe Wonder Woman's got this fight." Gohan nodded.
"I dunno, I think it would be too easy to let her win." Trunks commented. "If she's so powerful, there wouldn't be much of a fight. I think Rouge is gonna win."
"I agree with the boy." Vegeta added. "She just needs to grab on long enough to take some of her strength, then tire her down, then drain what's left."
"Honestly, I think it's fifty-fifty on who could win." Bulma reasoned. "When it comes down to it, Wonder Woman could simply slash Rouge's throat open with her tiara. Or Rouge could grab onto her leg or something and copy her powers. Neither one has a clear advantage, if they play it smart, either could win."
"Who cares? The fight is gonna be great!" Roshi declared.
"Yeah!" Goku added, not realizing what his master was implying.
"Well, let's find out!" Yamcha said, and Bulma unpaused the video.
"Alright, the combatants are set, it's time to end this debate once and for all!" Wiz declared.
"It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!" Boomstick shouted.
The doors closed, then open one last time.
(*Cues: Rogue's Theme - X-Men vs Street Fighter*)
Rogue is shown flying in the sky. The Invisible Jet descends in background and Wonder Woman flies out. She kicks Rogue in the face, both Super Heroines fly down to the ground.
"Okay, first. She has an invisible jet?!" Goten exclaimed. "And second, why'd she attacks her!?"
"It's a Death Battle kid. Something tells me this isn't their normal way of doing introductions." Piccolo replied.
FIGHT!
(*Cues: Wonder Woman (2009) - The Battle/Origins*)
Wonder Woman throws her tiara at Rogue, runs behind her, and roundhouse kicks her. The kick sends Rogue flying, Wonder Woman then flies after her, kicking her multiple times before dashing behind her again and punching her. Rouge skids across the ground and get back up, unfortunately, she is somewhat dazed and dosen't have enough to react to Wonder Woman who the Lasso of Truth to grab her and slams her on the ground numerous times, before flipping her onto a car and into a building before dragging Rogue near her, and then proceeding to uppercut her in the through a large sign.
"Woo! Take her down!" Krillin shouted.
She takes off into the air around the airborne Rogue with a flurry of punches.
(*Cues: X-Men Theme - Hard Rock Remix )
However, when Rogue is punched in the face, she absorbs some of Wonder Woman's powers. Rouge seems to be getting control of herself as she absorbs more of her powers when she takes off her glove and grabs her leg.
"Called it! Power absorption!" Vegeta yelled victoriously.
"Oh, c'mon! I thought she was smarter than that!" Mr. Satan groaned.
Realizing whatever happening isn't good, Wonder Woman breaks free and strikes Rouge hard in the chest. Or at least, she would if Rogue hadn't gotten behind her and struck her from behind, before she elbows her in the neck, and sends her soaring with a quick kick combo. Wonder Woman throws out her Lasso of truth again, but Rogue grabs it, tugs it, and slams her on the ground. Rogue flies behind her again and launches her tiara again, but Rogue blocks it, -propelling it back on her head- kicks her in the air and uppercuts her. Wonder Woman stops Rogue with several punches, but her finishing kick is blocked and she is knocked in the air.
"You were right Chi. They do seem a lot like us." Goku commented watching the airborne battle.
(*Cues: Wonder Woman (2009) - The Battle/Origins again*)
Rogue flies after her in the air, and is responded by a commotion of punches, Rogue blocks on of them and delivers some of her own, which is later blocked by Wonder Woman. Diana strikes her gauntlets together and expels a thunderous wave when blasts Rouge back and onto the ground.
"Whoa!" Goten and Trunks exclaimed, wide-eyes at the power Wonder Woman was displaying
Rouge pulls herself up and grabs a car and throws it, however, Wonder Woman simply punches clean through it without missing a beat. She then flies down at Rough and tries to kick her, but the mutant dodges around, every attack missing until Rouge manages to uppercut Wonder Woman this time. Wonder Woman grabs her sword and shield and dashes towards her with a flying kick, but it is interrupted by Rogue, who grabs her.
"Good night, sugar!" Rouge commented with a smirk.
Rogue proceeds to plant a kiss of death upon Wonder Woman's lips, killing her. Everyone stares in shock at what just happened, not expecting that to have been the way of the loser's demise.
K.O.!
Rogue then strikes a pose.
Roshi's jaw dropped to the floor and a tiny noise escape his throat. Bulma and Chi-Chi didn't know how to react, and neither did Goten or Trunks as they watched the replay on screen.
"Well…" Krillin finally broke the silence. "I was wrong…"
"That…uh…wow…" Mr. Satan struggled to find words. "Well… I guess that makes sense…"
"No. It dosen't." Vegeta muttered, as surprised as everyone else.
(*Cues: X-Men (2000) - Main Theme*)
"Woo-hoo-hoo! This goes down in history as the best DEATH BATTLE! ever!" Boomstick cheered.
"DAMN RIGHT!" Roshi shouted, not caring about any of the repercussions that might follow his outburst. "THAT WAS AMAZING! I AM SO GOING TO WATCH THAT AGAIN!"
"… Dude, this is like our second episode." Wiz commented. "But alas, poor Wonder Woman was more than a match for Rogue, but then she touched Rogue's face. Big. Mistake."
"Wonder Woman is a trained fighter, hell, she's one of the best. So naturally she would strike her opponent's weakest spots, like the neck, stomach, joints and, well, the face. Against literally any other opponent, that would've been fine! But Rouge? Well… When you literally absorb someone's powers, yeah… this wasn't gonna go to well." Boomstick reasoned.
"Well, when you stop and think, weren't one of the rules that the fighter had no prior knowledge of each other?" Piccolo mused. "Perhaps these two never met in whatever stories they came from. So, Wonder Woman had no idea she was accidentally giving her opponent her own powers."
"That makes sense." Gohan agreed. "And if she did find out, she already would've given her the powers. So…"
"In the end, Wonder Woman's failure was a result of her thorough Amazonian training. Against almost any other opponent she would succeed, but against this southern X-Men, she would fall." Wiz spoke with a slightly remorseful tone.
"Didn't they say she had magic? Why didn't she use that?!" Vegeta questioned. Everyone thought it over but didn't have an answer.
"And her stripper outfit! Her leg was just begging the be grabbed there. Though personally, uh, I might have grabbed elsewhere… If you know what I mean." Boomstick added.
Chi-Chi let out an annoyed and somewhat angered scream into a pillow but said nothing.
"Wonder Woman's powers may be godly, but Rogue's taken similar powers before, so there's no reason to say she couldn't here. Adding Wonder Woman's strength and speed to Rogue's own power gave her a huge advantage, drastically turning the tide. Even if she didn't have indestructible gauntlets, Rouge had Wonder Woman's training memories. And that was an issue." Wiz continued with his explanation. "And with her combined reflexes, speed, and seventh sense, she outmaneuvered Wonder Woman with one fatal kiss."
"Rogue sure "made out" in this fight!" Boomstick snarked.
"The winner if this Death Battle is Rogue." Wiz concluded.
"Called it!" Trunks exclaimed happily as he and Goten high-fived.
"Next Time on DEATH BATTLE!"
The scene opened up to show a rather cartoonish world, with flowers with smiles swaying to an upbeat song. Suddenly, a cartoonish green dinosaur walked in from the left. He had a rather large nose, and was wearing shoes. He didn't seem to have a care in the world. And then a monstrous creature that looked like a dinosaur appeared out form a pipe and roared, making the dinosaur exclaim in fright.
YOSHI VS RIPTOR PREPARE FOR A KILLER FIGHT OF CRETACIOUS CARNAGE AND ANIMALISTIC INSTINCT!
"We're having dinosaurs fight?! AWESOME!" Goten shouted, clearly excited.
"Two dinosaurs fighting? Yeah, that should be pretty cool." No. 18 agreed.
After a break to get some snacks and to stretch their muscles, the sayians, the Z crew and the rest gathered back in the main room for another episode of Death Battle.
