I own nothing.

Now then, apparently that Hiatus wasn't as long as I thought. Now, I have started doing the original death battles, as you've seen. I did this because writing the rewritten death battles for this was hard enough. I decided it would be a good idea to separate my original death battles. Plus, let's face it, I like writing these.

Chapter 12: Toad vs Turtle

"That is something I never want to see again," Nami panted, her heart hammering in her chest as she saw the bizarre creature known as mojo.

Brook said, "My eyes felt as if they were burning. Not that I have eyes mind you."

Chopper said, "So…scary."

The others were similar thoughts as they remembered the horrible-looking, vicious beast.

"It's okay everyone," Isom said, "I did tell you it was going to be bad. Come one, get your minds off it with some incredible violence."

Wiz said, "For the first time in Death Battle history an old victor returns."

Boomstick said, "After being forced to face his own brothers, Leonardo has returned to face off against another combatant."

Boomstick pressed a button, a hologram of Leonardo appeared, now clad in a black mask with bands of his brother's color's tied around his left arm. There was the sound of an audience cheering.

Wiz said, "Leonardo the leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles returns to face off against his greatest foe yet, Rash of the Battle Toads."

Wiz pressed a button of his own and a hologram of a humanoid toad formed in front of them. The toad was green with a yellow around his torso and face, and black gloves on his hands.

"So that is Rash?" Zoro said.

Nami said, "Gross."

Zoro said, "Eh, I've seen weirder."

Chopper asked, "What do you think of this guy, Usopp?"

The sniper answered, "I'll wait until we get to the judgement to make decisions."

Robin said, "Again someone who looks like a toad devil fruit. I wonder what abilities this fighter brings to the table."

Wiz said, "Now the history of the Battle Toads is somewhat inconsistent, mainly due to only a few sources. As such, we will only be using the history found in their game, as their show was considered non-canon."

Boomstick said, "But with all that out of the way, let's get started."

"What do they mean the game is only canon?" Usopp asked.

Isom explained, "Well, back in those days people would make cartoons that could be considered cheap knock offs of great games, movies, and other things. It makes sense that they would keep their distance from that."

Nami asked, "Why would they do that?"

The white-haired man answered, "Money."

The doors closed and reopened.

Wiz said, "In the shadows of New York, a war was fought between an evil ninja and his army, and four mutated ninja turtles. The leader of this trio was Leonardo."

"Are…are they giving us the rundown on Leo again?" Franky asked, with a raised eyebrow.

Isom answered, "Yep. They do it every time."

Leonardo

Height: 5'2''

Weight: 180

Favorite color: Blue

Leader and Strategist

Wiz said, "Being the eldest of the quartet of brothers, Leonardo was chosen by Master Splinter, his mutant rat father, to lead the team."

Boomstick said, "Good timing too because they were soon forced to move after their home was destroyed by tiny robot things."

Wiz said, "Anyway, Leo quickly proved his meddle as leader, leading himself and his brothers through several successful missions, and several crazy adventures."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, and we mean crazy. He's traveled to other dimensions and timelines, fought mutants, aliens, mutant aliens, and a whole bunch of other shit that you make some swear they had taken one too many mushrooms on their pizza…right Wizard?"

Wiz sighed at Boomstick's look and said, "I told you that those mushrooms weren't for cooking Boomstick! What do you expect from plants you pull from my lab?!"

"Wait he stole stuff form Wizard's Lab!?" Chopper yelled, "That is incredibly dangerous. He has no idea what that stuff could be!"

Franky said, "I hear you, brother. Why do you think I try to keep everyone out of my lab, especially Luffy. I got a ton of experimental weapons in there!"

Isom looked up and said, "Weapons? Hey, Franky if you allow it, I'd like to have a look at some of those. Since I'm staying on your ship, I might as well work to earn my bed hear."

Franky looked surprised and said, "You build?"

Isom answered, "My parents were scientists, and I earned their love of tinkering and experimenting."

Franky hummed in thought and said, "We can think of that later."

Wiz cleared his throat and said, "Leo even proved to be a great leader in the face of great loss, after his father Splinter died at the hands of their arch nemesis the Shredder, he continued to lead the team and fight many hard battles."

Boomstick said, "Partly due to his impressive mutant abilities."

Mutant Turtle Abilities

Shell

Enhanced strength

Enhanced agility

Enhanced durability

Retractable limbs

Organ placement

Boomstick continued, "As a mutant, Leo is stronger than the average male. He's also got some impressive durability, capable of surviving being nearly beat to death, and healing from it in record time thanks to a minor healing factor. And like any good turtle he can retract his limbs and head into his bullet proof shell for extra defense."

Wiz said, "And as a turtle Leo's organs are placed differently than a human, which means that if you stab Leo, you'd better aim at his heart, as stabbing him randomly somewhere might not hit anything. Speaking of which, while his shell s bullet proof it can be cracked open with enough applied force, and it has been pierced before by the ninja Karai."

Chopper said, "Oh, I never took that into consideration, given that turtle physiology isn't the same as humans, his organs would be in different places, and probably harder to reach."

Robin said, "How interesting. I wonder if that effect would apply to other zoan fruit users."

Boomstick said, "But that isn't all he brings to the table. As he's trained for all his life, Leo is a master ninja."

Ninja skills

Ninjutsu

Bushido

Physical and Mental fortitude

Devotion

Environmental Use

Sword Master

Hand to Hand Combat

-pressure points

Chi Healing

Wiz said, "He's an expert in stealth and using the environment to his advantage. He's a master with a sword and is the most balanced out of all the turtles. And he's mastered the art of chi gong to control his breathing in areas with thin oxygen."

Boomstick said, "But his real surprise is his healing abilities, which he used to purge himself of venom from the mutant snake Karai, the same girl who stabbed him, which didn't have an antidote."

Wiz said, "And when fighting hand to hand, Leo can strike at pressure points, which can disable powerful opponents, which makes sense since ninjas are known for going for an opponent's weak spots."

Chopper rubbed his chin at that remark. Pressure points. He remembered reading about those. Maybe he could use that to his advantage. If he memorized them, he could disable powerful foes.

Boomstick said, "But Leo doesn't need just his hands to fight. He's got a few tools to fight off his enemies with."

Weapons

Ninjaken Sword

-Hollywood Invention

-Fast Offensive Strikes

-Stealth Efficient

-Hidden Tanto Knives

Yumi Bow

Shuriken

The scene changed to the armor to show Boomstick with a familiar set of weapons.

The gun lover said, "In combat, Leo prefers the ninjaken sword, no not a katana, they aren't stealthy enough. These two-foot blades are great for offensive strikes both upfront and from the shadows, which suits the ninja thing just fine. And what is better than just one…two damn it!"

Zoro said, "Hah…try three, sucker."

Boomstick flipped the blades and two tanto knives popped out, with the gun lover saying, "And these babbies also have some hidden tanto knives in them…because why not?"

The gun lever set down the swords and motioned to a bow and arrow nearby and some throwing stars.

Smiling he said, "And when Leo wants to kill at a distance, he's got shuriken and a yumi bow, both perfect for silent kills."

The scene changed back to the main stage.

Wiz said, "While working with his team, and on his own, Leo has done some impressive things.

Sanji yawned and said, "Yeah tell us something we don't know."

Feats

Constantly fight stronger, larger mutants

Always defeats the shredder

Threw off a dogpile of foot soldiers

Cut through Krang's arms and robots

Survived being nearly poisoned to death

Only one to use chi

Boomstick said, "He's taken on stronger mutants such as Rahzar, Tohkar, and Tiger Claw, and won. He's cut through the bullet proof mousers, several robots, and even a robot arm thicker than a human torso!"

Wiz said, "In terms of skill, he's beaten the Shredder in every incarnation, who is a master of every discipline of ninjutsu! He's taken severe beatings and being poisoned and managed to survive. He can dodge lasers and bullets at point blank"

Boostick said, "But Leo is kind of a control freak. Unexpected failure and problems can make him confused and throw him off his game, but Leonardo on more than one occasion, has proven to be a great leader."

"Follow the code of the shinobi guys. A shinobi must never question a command."

Usopp said, "Are they going to do this every time a returning fighter comes back?"

Isom said, "They do, but usually they wind up adding something new to it, like a feat that they performed. That's the thing about these characters they constantly changed, and some may change from good to evil, or vice versa. They may have discovered new tools, weapons, and gadgets. Basically, something might have changed from the last battle."

Everyone nodded at this.

Boomstick said, "If you took a look at Morgan Zeigler, you would see a normal looking game making slacker…and you'd be right."

"Dave Shar?" Luffy said, "How did that guy become a toad?"

Chopper said, "Maybe he mutated like Leo."

Wiz said, "That is actually true. Along with his friends, Dave Shar and George Pie, the two worked together for a big company, just getting buy and being friends. Their crowning achievement was the making of their game…the Battletoads."

"A game?" Brook asked, "How does that work?"

Isom answered, "Don't worry. It will be explained."

Boomstick said, "They lived pretty normal lives for slackers until they started to get suspicious of their boss, Silas Volkmire, and decided to sneak around work after dark. After doing some exploring they found their game plugged into the virtual reality simulator that they used to test the game."

Usopp asked, "What the heck is virtual reality?"

Isom explained, "Virtual reality is…how to explain this with Luffy in the room…Oh…you know how Nami makes illusions with her weapon?"

Everyone nodded, having seen that in action at some point.

Isom answered, "It is like that, except it can actually hurt you."

Wiz said, "This turned out to be a trap set by Silas, and the trio was soon transported to another planet far from earth, taking the form of the battletoad characters. George became Pimple, Dave became Rash, and Morgan became their leader, Zitz."

Zitz

Formerly Morgan Zeigler

Height: 6'8''

Weight: 196

Loves Dexter's Laboratory

Boomstick said, "Wait…so they get transported to some random planet through a video game and they are permanately transformed into toad superheroes?"

Wiz shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's science Boomstick…don't question it."

Sanji said, "That sounds like a ridiculous backstory."

Nami said, "Yeah, it does seem kind of stupid."

Everyone else seemed to agree on how weird the story was.

Brook said, "Hmm, I wonder what kind of jokes they like to make."

Wiz continued, "Soon after arriving on this planet, they were attacked by the Dark Queen, and only escaped with the help of a resident, Professor T. Bird. Deciding that revenge would have to wait, they decided to take down the Dark Queen, and somehow return to Earth."

Zoro said, "Probably a good idea. That queen looks like a pain the ass."

Sanji, with hearts for eyes, said, "Oh, but how could a woman so lovely be considered evil?"

Boomstick said, "And as the mighty Battletoads they had more than enough strength to do it, especially Zitz."

Toad abilities

Long stretchy tongue

Slight Elasticity

Enhanced Strength and Durability

Great Jumper

The gun lover explained, "As a Battletoad, Zitz possesses incredible strength and durability. He's strong enough to smash robots to pieces with his fists alone."

Wiz interrupted, "By using the circumference of how far the toad flew. We can estimate just how strong Rash is."

Wiz brought down the board of Wizdom. The board had a picture of Zitz throwing a punch and one of the Battle toads flying a good distance.

Wiz explained, "By examining the circumference of the eclipse, and the path that the toad flew, by judging the height before gravity kicks in, and it seems to be a little over 36 feet, this means the toads can dish out and take a force of nearly 983 kilograms, that's nearly a ton of force."

Boomstick said, "Hey, wait Wiz, what about that giant robot Robo-Manus. That must have need a shit ton more strength."

Wiz nodded and said, "Good eye. With the robot weighting nearly thirteen hundred pounds, and flying a distance of 14.4 meters, we can estimate that the toads can also hit with a force of over eight-four thousand Newtons, that's nearly nine tons of force!"

Boomstick said, "And they use that insane strength to throw people. I don't know who to feel sorry for, the target or the projectile, but while he's strong he certainly isn't slow. He's dodged lasers and even point-blank explosions."

"Dang they sound like they could take more than a punch from Luffy and Franky," Robin said, rubbing her chin.

Nami said, "Yeah, and I wonder what else this toad has in his sleeves…er gloves."

Luffy said, "So cool."

Wiz said, "Also as a toad he has an incredible amount of abilities. He's an excellent jumper, easily capable of jumping more than three times his height. He's also got a long sticky tongue, which is useful for pulling people in for quick punches and kicks, and it can hold his own weight. On top of that, as a toad, Zitz has rubbery skin which gives him a natural durability against hand to hand combatants and blunt force weapons."

Zoro said, "So the both of them have a useful defense against blunt force. I wonder how they do against sharp objects and others."

Sanji said, "Yeah, get me a knife and we'll be serving frog legs for dinner."

Usopp asked, "Can you really cook anything with toad?"

Sanji blinked and said, "I'm not sure. I never tried. I'll see if I can find something later."

Boomstick said, "But whenever Zitz wants to take down his opponents hard, he can unleash his special moves…the Smash Hts."

Shape Shifting

Smash Hits

-Kiss My Fist

-Goat Head

-Giant Boot

-Soaring Sawblade

-Drillakilla

-BattleDozer

-Full Metal Saws

Wiz explained, "Thanks to the transformation, Zitz can shapeshift his body when necessary. He can transform his body into metal to help defend against attacks and can even transform into a wrecking ball when suspended from a rope. However, his Smash Hits, as Boomstick calls them, are his greatest attacks."

Boomstick said, "Why? Because Zitz is a genius and added metal weapons to it. Like the other toads he can inflate his hands and feet for the Kiss My Fist and Giant Boot, and sprout ram horns for the Goat Head charge attack, but he really shines when he busts out the machines. He can transform legs and arms into sawblades for the Soarin and Full Metal Saws Attacks. He can gut his opponents with the Drillakilla attack, and can run enemies over with the Battledozer, where he fuses his arms into a bulldozer!"

"Holy crap," Sanji said, "This kind of sounds like that forge guy we fought, but with more mechanical stuff."

Franky said, "Aw lucky, I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate saws and other machines into my body for years. Lucky bastard. He's a super cyber toad!"

Chopper said, "I don't think Leo is going to handle this guy very well."

Robin said, "Don't forget Chopper, he has gone against stronger and larger mutants."

"So cool!" Luffy said, his eyes becoming stars as he saw the mechanical moves.

Wiz said, "All of this makes him incredibly dangerous and powerful."

Feats

Dodges lasers and point-blank explosions

Defeated the Dark Queen

Launched robo-manus

Wiz said, "However, despite this he has a few flaws. He's powerful, but he's not trained. And while he has used weapons before he doesn't know much about them, only hitting as hard as he can."

Zoro said, "Oh, I think Leo is going to win this."

Sanji said, "Oh, and what makes you think that moss head."

Zoro said, "Leo has training under his belt. This guy doesn't."

Sanji scoffed and said, "I don't think so, moss head. He's stronger and can take a hit. It'll take more than that to beat him."

As the two devolved in an argument, Isom just turned up the volume.

Boomstick said, "Plus, Zitz's durability has its limits, as he can only take so much before it gives out. Not to mention it kind of sucks against sharp objects."

Wiz said, "While he is a tactician he relies a lot on his powers to do the fighting for him. Though with good reason. Anyone who faces off against this toad, is going to be in some serious trouble."

"I'm the smartest thing on webbed feet. I can think as well as fight."

The doors closed and they opened.

Immediately, everyone started debating over who would win. Zoro and Brook were both sure that Leo would win due to his swords and skills.

Sanji, wanting to go against Zoro, thought Zitz would win, along with Luffy, Nami, Usopp and Chopper due to his greater strength and his Smash Hits.

Nami and Robin were undecided.

Wiz said, "The combatants are set, the arena is primed, and the popcorn is popped."

Boomstick ate a handful of popcorn and said, "Are we serving up toad-in-the-hole or turtle soup for lunch? Let's find out in this mutant amphibian Death Battle!"

The doors closed and reopened.

Everyone sat back and prepared to watch, ready to see who would win this battle of the mutants.

The scene opened to reveal a construction site. A group of Kraang were currently working on some device, most likely a dimensional one. Leonardo landed on a beam above them. His eyes narrowed in anger as he saw the aliens who had caused the deaths of his brothers.

"Oh boy," Sanji said, "He looks pissed."

Zoro said, "Well, those are the thing that force him to kill his brothers."

Leo leapt down from the beam slashing through the various Kraang machines.

A kraang turned to another near the machine and said, "The turtle known as Leonardo has arrived and is seeking what is known as revenge."

The second one at the machine said, "Do not show the emotion known as worry Kraang. The one known as Mojo connected us to another dimension for a being who can beat the turtle known as Leonardo. The one known as Mojo prepared this in case there was going to be what is known as a sequel."

The Kraang finished pressing buttons. The portal opened and began to shake and warp, out of the purple portal came the familiar sight of Zitz, the battletoad stumbling a bit as he walked out.

He looked around with shock.

"There's the big, bad toad," Luffy said, eyeing the creature.

"What is this?"

The surviving Kraang robot said, "We are Kraang and we have brought you, the one known as Zitz, to help the Kraang against that evil turtle monster who has been attacking us for the reasons that are none."

Chopper said, "I cannot get over how weird those things sound."

Usopp said, "It is a little distracting."

Suddenly, the Kraang robot fell over after having his head sliced in half. The robot head, not the brain head.

Zitz stepped back and said, "Hold it turtle dude. Back off the robots."

Leonardo turned towards the leader of the Battletoads, and said, "Who are you supposed to be? Another mutant made by the Kraang?"

The toad looked offended and said, "Hey, I'm not mutant pal. I'm a Battletoad. What are you? Some cheap knock off?"

Leonardo growled and said, "I'm no imposter. And if you are allied with the Kraang, then you won't last a second against me!"

Zitz got into a stance and said, "Okay, show me what you got."

Fight!

"Here we go!" Luffy yelled.

Zitz dashed in unleashing a barrage of fast punches. Leo ducked and dodged, weaving through the punches. He blocked on punch with his sword, wincing under the force of the blow. Zitz then unleashed a savage uppercut which knocked the swords away from Leo. Leo wasn't distracted long thought and got in low, striking Zitz in the stomach. The smart toad didn't even flinch.

"That isn't good," Zoro muttered.

Robin said, "Without his swords it seems Leo is at a disadvantage."

Leo looked up at Zitz who smirked down at him. The battletoad unleashed a Kiss My Fist on Leo, sending the turtle flying backwards.

As Leo slid away, Zitz jumped into the air and inflated both of his feet intending stomp down on Leo.

The turtle responded by rolling out of the way, drawing his yumi bow and aiming.

As Zitz landed with a loud noise, forming large boot prints in the ground, Leo fired. Zitz turned to the side to avoid it, but the arrow nicked his shoulder, drawing blood.

Leo saw this and realized immediately that he had a weakness for sharp objects. Leo saw his swords and immediately ran to grab them.

"Oh no you don't!" Zitz yelled as he sprouted goat horns and charged at Leo.

Leo grabbed his swords and proceeded to leap over the charging toad, leapfrog style, ironically. Meanwhile, Zitz slammed headfirst into a steel beam with a loud clang.

"Oh, that had to hurt," Chopper said.

Luffy said, "Eh…he's taken worse."

Zitz growled in frustration as he stood up and said, "Okay, glad the guys didn't see that."

The toad turned and said, "You are so going down."

The toad charged again. Zitz unleashed another Big Boot, which Leo shot back to avoid, but the toad was ready, he shot out his tongue which wrapped around Leo's throat.

"Oh, gross!"

Zitz pulled Leo in and started wailing on him, unleashing a barrage of punches and kick before throwing him over his shoulder. As Leo flew he retracted into his shell. The shell bounced around a bit before he stopped at the base of the in-progress building.

Leo stood up, feeling dizzy, but came to his sense as Zitz charge with the Drillakilla drawn back. Leo ducked under the drill as it struck and went through a steel beam. Leo then lashed out with a quick slash. Zitz shifted his body into metal at the last second, transforming into wrecking ball. Leo stepped back in shock.

Zitz then charged back and attacked with the Soarin' Saws. Leo dodged and stabbed again, this time aiming at his shoulder wound. The toad let out a shout of pain but fought through it and threw out a punch that struck Leo in the jaw and sent the turtle flying again, this tie skidding across the ground.

"My, these guys are going crazy on each other," Brook said, "I hope Leo's shell can take as much punishment as this."

Zoro said, "Come on Leo, you've fought worse than that."

Leo grumbled as he stood up. Zitz charged in leaping high into the air. Inflating his feet, Zitz prepared to crush Leo again, but Leo brought out his bow again. He fired as many arrows as he could, several piercing his feet. Zitz winced at the pain, but he caught a cable. He kicked his foot to shake the arrows out.

Meanwhile, Leo used his chi abilities to heal his wounds.

Zitz glanced down at Leo and then looked and then realized what he was doing. With a smirk, he suddenly swung himself, turning into a wrecking ball and started slamming hard against the walls starts of the building.

"What the hell is he doing?" Nami asked.

Zoro's eyes widened and said, "He's going to bring the entire building down on him!"

As the building began to buckle, Leo realized what he was planning. Leo immediately started to move.

Zitz dropped and then leapt down, with his legs transforming into saw blades with the Full Metal Saws

Leo saw this and dodged to the right and then slashing at the joint between the saw blades and his flesh. Zitz grunted in pain and fell to his knee I pain. Leo backflipped away and dodged another beam.

Zitz growled in anger and charged forward with the Battledozer attempting to crush Leo like a bug. Leo jumped over the bulldozer contraption, and then stabbed forward striking the toad in the eye, drawing blood.

"Got him!" Zoro said with excitement.

"Oh, come on!" Sanji yelled, "I refuse to lose to mosshead again!"

Leo then performed a vicious slash that cut through the toad's body and then knocked him away with a kick to the new wound.

The toad landed on his back and looked up at the ceiling. His eyes widened for a moment as he saw another one of the beams coming down. The toad then closed his eyes and waited for it to happen.

Leo rushed out of the collapsing building just as it came down. The turtle looked back as the dust cleared and saw the unmoving arm of the batteltoad.

KO!

"That's the end of that," Leo said, as he jumped

"Damn it!" Sanji yelled, "Lost to mosshead again."

Zoro just laughed as Sanji's anger and misery.

The others cheers and clapped for the fight.

The doors closed and reopened.

Wiz and Boomstick were currently eating some food.

"So this is toad in the hole," Boomstick said, "It tastes better than I imagined. Too bad old Zitz didn't stack up to the fight."

Wiz swallowed and said, "Right. At first glance, Zitz had the advantages in agility, strength, weaponry, and pure force, but Leo has had experience fighting people like that, from monstrous mutants like Slash and border lining superhumans such as Shredder."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, plus while Zitz is a genius, and has some skill in tactics, He's an upfront brawler. Leo's tactical mind would have noticed Zitz's weaknesses and would have planned to utizilzed them. And while Zitz could transform his body to metal, Leo has slash through solid steel, human bodies, and a robot arm thicker than a human body!"

Wiz said, "Plus, ZLe's training would make him take advantage of weak points, such as wounds and the eyes, and could turn his own tactics against him. Plus, Zitz canonically is weak against sharp objects. If it were any of his other brothers, Zitz might of stood a chance."

Boomstick said, "But, unfortunately, Leo was more than enough to put Zitz through his own toad version of shell."

Everyone groaned ath te pun, even Brook and Luffy.

Wiz groaned at the pun and said, "The winner is Leonardo…again."

Luffy said, "Hey, Sanji can you make us some of that toad in the hole?"

Sanji said, "I think so, but I'll have to double check the amount of eggs we have."

Next time on death battle…

There was the sound of an engine roaring. They show a blond man riding on the back of a motorcycle with a huge sword on his back.

"Who look at the size of that sword!" Franky said, "That is a super sword!"

He suddenly stopped when he heard an ocarina over the sound of the engine. He stopped. He looked around and saw the source, a boy with green tights sitting under a tree. He stopped playing and stood up to look at him.

Link vs Cloud

"Yay, more swords!" Boomstick yelled as he threw up both arms in happiness.

Franky said, "Okay I think this is something that we should make this the last episode for a little bit. There's some stuff I want to try out. You too, Isom."

The others nodded. Nami then remembered the time and left the room. She looked out and saw the news bird was flying down towards them. She held out some money and the bird handed them the papers.

Nami looked through the papers and her eyes widened in shock.

Cut! Well, that was fun. I hope you all enjoyed the reimagining of the Leo vs Zitz fight. I'll be honest, I actually got Zitz and Rash mixed up because of the latter's appearance in Killer Instinct. Anyway, enjoy and let me know what you think. Flames are ignored, criticism is welcome.
