update is here, BIATCH.
I'm also doing a quest on spacebattles called "Gensokyo sagas (touhou quest)", (probably should have posted it on THP but what's done is done) so please if you feel like it try giving it a look.
(Death Battle belongs to Screw Atack and Touhou project belongs to ZUN ).
Without further ado, here is the next chapter.
SHANG TSUNG VS AKUMA
Marisa:"let's see what is the next one about"
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)
Wiz: Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat. Kings of the fighting genre. And every good fighter needs awesome villians.
Alice:"more like a bunch of brutes that punch each other for stupid reasons"
Reimu didn't said it out loud but gensokyo is kinda the same thing, just that danmaku prevents the blood and dead.
Boomstick: Like Akuma, the ultimate badass of martial arts.
A red haired "man" with a black gi with torn off sleeves, black skin and glowing red eyes.
Reimu:"he doesn't look like a devil at all"
Marisa:"probably just a nickname or something"
Wiz: And Shang Tsung, the sorcerous vanguard of doom.
Some old dude- no a young black haired man?, what?.
Alice:"but he was old, and now he is young, how? some kind of rejuvinating spell?"
Alice knew that youkai magicians didn't age thanks to their magic a normal like marisa could do it too.
said girl probably already did it but she wasn't sure.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find who would win... a Death Battle.
Marisa:"huh they shorthened that part, nice"
(*Cues: Street Fighter IV - Old Temple*)
Wiz: Akuma, master of The Fist. Known as Gouki in Japan, he is a living weapon, ten times stronger than nearly every other Street Fighter.
Reimu:"so pretty much a martial artist monster"
Boomstick: Plus, he looks friggin' awesome, I totally want me some red, glowing eyes.
Alice:"i remember my childhood when i wanted all my dolls to be dark and menacing, aaahhhhh... good times"
Reimu does agree with that dyin her hair purple when she was young was kinda stupid now that she thinks about it.
Marisa will NEVER put that purple outfit that lady mima made for her it was... just no.
GOU HADOKEN
-total control
-can fire multiple at once
-shinku-hadoken
-can be charged
-usable in midair(zanku hadoken)
Wiz: Akuma has dozens of powerful special attacks, including the Gou Hadoken. A powerful blast with precision control. He can even use the almighty Shinku-Hadoken, which is, basically, a giant fireball of death.
Marisa:"how the hell is he throwing fireballs?, they said he was a fighter not a magician"
Alice was with marisa on this one, what kind of fighter does that?.
Reimu:"he must be using ki or chi whatever you wanna call it, is like life energy or something"
Alice:"how do you know that?"
Reimu:"genji told me when i was younger"
When marisa heard that she asked something that has been troubling her for a while.
Marisa:"what happen with him?"
Reimu just pointed to the back of the shrine.
Reimu:"he's sleeping in a pond at the back of the shrine"
Oh, marisa though the turtle died or something.
Boomstick: Man, if I ever fire a Hadoken in real life, I'mma die happy.
Marisa resisted the urge to laugh sure that hadoken is prety cool but once you see stuff like her master spark and the fantasy seal of reimu this didn't seem like much.
SPECIAL MOVES AND ATACKS
-gou shoryuken: "dragon fist"
-hurrican kick: "air slashing"
-teleport
-hyakki shuu: "demon flip"
Wiz: Akuma also uses the Shoryuken uppercut, a teleport ability, a swift multi-striking hurricane kick, and the Hyakkishu, A.K.A the Demon Flip.
Marisa:"that's not teleporting and you should not be able to fly by spinning and kicking"
Alice:"well marisa brooms shouldn't fly either but you use one and it flies"
Marisa:"shut up alice, those are completely different things"
Reimu was surprissed that these two hadn't started a danmaku fight, well atleast for now.
(*Cues: Hideyuki Fukasawa - Volcanic Rim Orchestral*)
SUPER ARTS
-shinku hadoken
-kongo kokuretsu zan
Boomstick: Also, Akuma's got tons of different Super Arts, but two really stand out. First there's the "Kongo...Kokuretsu Za... how do you say that?
Everyone:"kongo kokuretsu zan"
Gensokyo is mainly japanese.
Wiz: No idea.
Marisa:"wasn't he supose to be the smart guy?"
Alice:"he is probably just messing around with boomstick"
Boomstick: Well, I'm pretty sure that's Japanese for "Fuck You Up!" 'Cause basically, Akuma punches the ground and things explode.
Announcer: K.O.
Marisa:"doesn't seem that pow-"
Boomstick: He shattered a whole friggin' island just by punching it. Holy shit!
Marisa:"...nevermind"
Reimu was already thinking that this guy was an oni feigning to be human with the name of a devil.
Alice started to think that watching this will make her question life and how it works.
Wiz: But that's not the deadliest move up his nonexistent sleeve.
Akuma uses his deadliest move against a retarded looking guy in pink gi and he is probably dead.
Wiz: The Shun Goku Satsu, also known as the Raging Demon, literally means "Instant Hell Murder."
SUPER ARTS
-Shinku-hadoken
-kongo kokuretsu zan
-shun goku satsu: "instat hell murder"
Boomstick: Man, I'm going to totally name my first kid that. The Raging Demon at full power is fatal, this guy's a frikin' onslaught of pain!
Reimu felt really uneasy watching that move, she doesn't know why but those two are not telling them something.
Wiz: That's right. Boomstick, Akuma lives for one thing, and one thing only: fighting. He travels the world day and night searching for worthy opponents. He's an unstoppable human Holocaust, losing only once to his brother Gouken, but after a brutal rematch...
Marisa:"...what the fuck"
She never had brothers or anything but that is fucked up.
Alice:"why... would he?..."
Back in makai she has a familly and this just made her be want to be with them again, to put it simply this was not right.
Reimu was prety silent, she really didn't know how to feel, her mother unfortunately died when she was born, she had the family pet genji basically as a father figure and as a mother the annoying gap hag so when it came to familly she didn't know how to handle it.
At the end she was just confussed.
Boomstick: Oh hey, look he can fingerpaint!
Marisa:"that mother fucker..."
Alice just was perplexed by the coment, something is seriously wrong with him.
Reimu was taking the coment as bad as alice.
Wiz: It was rumored that Akuma sacrificed his soul to a demon in exchange for the strength to defeat Gouken, but this has been declared non-canon.
Reimu:"good, he has done enough stupid shit"
She wasn't one for cursing but the situation seemed too fit for it.
Boomstick: Akuma's got one major problem, though. His stamina is absolutely pathetic. He can dish out the pain, but he sure can't take it.
All of them were still kinda on edge but were still watching this.
Alice:"so he has no defensive habilities?, seem's like a big weakness"
Marisa did not think that way, he may not like the guy but damn if he didn't have power.
Reimu wouldn't let anyone know that, she has that weakness too she got good at dodging for a reason.
Wiz: It's crucial for Akuma to have total control over the fight. He takes an extremely offensive approach. Always moving, always attacking.
Boomstick: Yeah, screw defense, Give me more ways to hurt people!
Akuma: I am Akuma, and I will teach you the meaning of pain!
While there was no love for the guy, they could respect the strenght he has, reimu was sure that akuma will be the closest thing to an actual oni, marisa apreciated his fire power, and alice just knew that he shouldn't be messed with.
(*Cues: The Temple (Classic) - Mortal Kombat Trilogy*)
Wiz: Shang Tsung is the cunning sorcerer from Outworld, and scheming pawn of Shao Kahn. He's extremely adapt in magic and a well-rounded fighter.
Marisa:"huh a magician and a fighter?, weird combination"
Alice had shangai give her a notebook, maybe she could something for research here.
Reimu narrowed her eyes this guy was old and young sometimes kinda gave her a bad feeling
FLAMING SKULLS
-can atack in rounds of two or three
-fire damage
-swift and deadly
-unlimited supply of human scalps
Boomstick: This guy can shoot flaming skulls, which is totally awesome, but where the heck does he keep them? I mean seriously, how many skulls can a person carry around with them?
Alice promply gave the notebook back to shangai, she wasn't into necromancy and it wouldn'treally help her with improving her dolls.
Marisa:"why skulls?, doesn't sound like a good proyectile"
Reimu didn't question it, she uses ying-yang orbs those aren't good proyectiles either but they work.
HOT ESCAPE
-teleport ability
-extremely fast
-wide range
-burns victims when appearing close enough
-sucker punch!
Wiz: Tsung can teleport around the battlefield with the special move called "Hot Escape"
Boomstick: Wah! Sucker punch, bitch!
Alice took the notebook from shangai, maybe he had more than just necromancy.
Marisa was looking at reimu while rubing her jaw, reimu has something like that but with a kick, contrary to what some believe physical combat in danmaku is allowed.(A/N:i know that how they fight in the fighting games is not canon but i don't care)
MORPHING
-can change into anyone he knows
-copies abilitie and stats of the subject
-enables hundreds of new strategies
Wiz: He can morph into whomever he wants, giving him tons of different skill sets, its like fighting a hundred different foes combined into one.
Well thats a pretty powerfull hability, a guy who could become as strong as other people with just knowing them.
Reimu knew there was something more to this and so did alice probably somethingnto do with his magic, marisa was just looking at the expressions of her friends she didn't know why they seem so angry.
STRAIGHT SWORD
-about three feet long
-secretly hidden
-of unknown make
-prefers fists and magic over swordplay
Boomstick: Man, I wish I could morph into anybody I wanted. I can have some fun with that! He also has a razor sharp Straight Sword, though he usually keeps it hidden for a surprise attack.
Marisa:"didn't need to know that boomstick, and why have a hiden weapon weapon"
Alice and reimu:"for a surprisse atack"
Marisa's eyes bulgged when she saw reimu pull offuda out of her socks and alice had two dolls with knifes under her dress.
Reimu:"don't know what got you so surprissed, don't you have magical bombs under your hat?"
Marisa:"no i don't!"
Yes she does.
Wiz: Shang Tsung possesses one other strange, but useful ability. Long ago, when he was caught cheating in the Mortal Kombat tournament, he was cursed, by the elder gods, to rapidly age until an untimely death. The only way to prevent this fate is to absorb the souls of his victims.
Reimu was caught off guard by that, she knew of how to puriffy spirits, but never of EATING them.
Alice was a little escared of that just a little, she also ripped and destroyed the page we're she took notes of shang-tsung.
Marisa didn't know a lot about how the spirit stuff worked she was more about magic, but she is aware of how bad that is.
SOUL STEAL
-sustains youth
-restores energy and health
-gain's opponents memories and skills
-uses skills form morphs
Boomstick: He can literally eat your soul. Your soul! Not only can this heal him, but he gets the memories of the souls he devoured.
(*Cues: The Soul Chamber (Classic) - Mortal Kombat Trilogy*)
Wiz: This helps him copy the move sets of other fighters when he morphs.
Boomstick: So really, his curse became his deadliest weapon. Good punishment there, gods.
Reimu was facepalming, if gods really were like this it's a good thing that she never met the hakurei good.
Wiz: Shang Tsung has lived and fought for over a thousand years. His sorcery, powers, and brutal Fatalities are rivaled by few, and he's claimed the title of grand champion of Mortal Kombat several times, almost bringing about the winning streak necessary to allow Shao Kahn to invade Earthrealm, key word being almost.
Marisa:"he's over a thousand years old!?"
Reimu was trying and failing to discern how many souls he had devoured.
Alice:"let's never tell anyone how eating souls make you live longer, agreed?"
They all nodded this kind of stuff should not be comun knowledge.
Boomstick: Yeah, unfortunately for Shang Tsung, he pretty much sucks at actually accomplishing his goals. He's super powerful, but like most villains, he can never get around some goody-two-shoes getting in the way of global take-over.
Reimu and marisa being the "goody-two-shoes" of gensokyo, even if they basically beat the living crap of everything that seems to be part of the incident, or when they're annoyed of someone.
Wiz: His only notable victories have included treachery and deceit. But, keep in mind, Tsung's not fighting any ordinary meat-heads. He's fighting demons, sorcerers, and gods, and even in defeat, he somehow keeps coming back more lethal than ever.
Shang Tsung: You... will... DIE!
Alice:"if shang tsung plays his card right he could win against akuma"
Marisa snorted at alice reasoning.
Marisa:"akuma is faster, stronger, and vicious tsung has no chance"
Alice:"but tsung has ways of dealing with that he just has to do it right"
Reimu:"i'm with alice, if tsung gets to morph into akuma, he woul have the upper hand.
Marisa:"well let's just see the fight and see who is going to win.
Wiz: alright the combatants are set, but before we end this debate i need some cash to buy rats for genetic testing.
Alice:"what?"
Reimu:"why?"
Marisa:"i should do the same"
The other two just gave her a stare.
Marisa:"something... wrong with that?"
Boomstick: What?.
Wiz: from gamefly
(*Cues: The Tower (Classic) - Mortal Kombat Trilogy*)
Akuma walks on the stage when Shang Tsung suddely appears behind him from his Hot Escape technique. Akuma jumps away to the other side of the battlefield, and prepares to fight.
FIGHT!
(*Cues: TGS '08 PV BGM - Street Fighter IV*)
Tsung shoots a Flaming Skull, which Akuma dodges by jumping over. He shoots two Gohadokens in the air, and Tsung blocks them. Akuma attacks Tsung's feet, and knocks him even more off balance by hitting him with a hurricane kick. and knocks him in the air with a Shoryuken uppercut.
Marisa was throwing her arms around like a crazy bitch almost hitting reimu and alice.
Marisa:"yeah destroy that old-er... i mean young-ummm...!,whatever just kick his ass!"
Alice:"stop moving already marisa!"
SMACK*
Marisa was rubing her head were reimu hit her with the gohei.
Reimu:"just sit and watch calmly"
While in the Air, Akuma hits him a few time and finishes the combo with a Shinku-Hadouken. Tsung lays on the ground and Akuma tries to finish him off, but Tsung transforms into Scorpion.
Alice:"why did he stopped"
Marisa:"i don't know but i don't like it"
She was about to curse at the top of her lungs but reimu will hit her again if she does it.
Reimu:"my best guess is pride"
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)
Akuma stops and decides to see if this form is powerful enough to fight against, allowing him to get back up.
Reimj:"called it"
Scorpion: COME HERE!
Shang Tsung throws the Kunai spear at Akuma and drags Akuma over towards him. He uppercuts Akuma, cueing the "Toasty Guy", Dan Forden, to appear in the right corner of the screen.
Dan Forden: TOASTY!
All of them ignored that last part not really getting the joke but they didn't care enough to question it.
Marisa:come on akuma kick his ass already!"
Shang Tsung then keeps him in the air by hitting him with flaming skulls that burst out of the ground. Akuma falls behind him and throws him to right. He them teleports behinds him and kicks him, which Tsung blocks. He fires a Hadouken, but Tsung uses Hot Escape to get away, then reappears and slashes Akuma with his sword. He then grabs Akuma and tries to steal his soul, which heals some of his health and drains some of Akuma's.
Reimu:"humm seems tsung is going to win this"
Alice seems to be really smugh about it.
Alice:"see marisa?, just power can't win everything"
but marisa also has a smile of her own.
Marisa:"you are right but..."
Akuma breaks out of it by hitting him with a Hurricane Kick. Tsung runs toward him, but Akuma catches him off guard using the Kongo Kokuretsu Zan, which knocks him in the air. He then teleports over, hits him a few times, and then throws him. Tsung then lands on his feet and transforms into Akuma.
Alice:"but what marisa?"
(*Cues: Hideyuki Fukasawa - Volcanic Rim Orchestral Again*)
The two prepare for battle.
(*Cues: Theme of Gouken vs Ryu - Street Fighter IV*)
The two Akuma's then jump in the air and they attack, blocking each others' moves. One of the Akuma knocks the other into the ground. and then tries to finish him off using the Kongo Kokoretsu Zan. However, the other Akuma grabs him and finishes him off with a Shun Goku Satsu.
Marisa:"experience does"
Alice jaw slackened and her eyes widened
Reimu was also surprissed but she'll wait for wiz and boomstick to explain why akuma won.
As one of the Akuma's stands with his back to the screen with the iconic heaven kanji confirming the kill, it is then shown that the Akuma lying dead on the ground is Shang Tsung, who shortly turns back into his original form, releasing his souls.
Reimu:"that's... a lot of souls"
K.O.!
(*Cues: Street Fighter IV - Volcanic Rim Opening Version*)
Boomstick: Oh man, that was way too close!
Wiz: No kidding, Boomstick! Akuma's raw power and speed pressed a distinct advantage early on. But Tsung's own cleverness and wide array of skills quickly even the odds.
Alice:"yes okay!, just tell us why akima won already"
Marisa:"someones angry..."
Alice wasn't really angry that akuma won she was angry that marisa was right after alice told her she was wrong.
Boomstick: It looked like Akuma had the whole thing wrapped up, but Tsung's morphing trick saved his ass.
Reimu:"at that point it looked like he won"
Wiz: Akuma's pride for battle almost cost his life, as he stopped to see if his new face was worth a challenge.
Marisa was still miffed about that.
Boomstick: After switching up strategies, Tsung managed to steal enough of Akuma's soul for some extra health and new abilities.
Wiz: But, it wasn't enough. In the end Akuma's skills as a fighter proved unmatched.
Alice:"how so?"
She already calmed down but she still wants a explination about the how he won.
Boomstick: I mean, Tsung loses to Liu Kang all the time, and compared to Akuma, Liu Kang's the nicest guy in the world. There was no way he could take Akuma's constant punishment.
Alice:"well that's true..."
Wiz: As Tsung isn't used to winning anything on his own, he wasn't perfect on delivering the final blow, leaving him wide open for the experienced Akuma to unleash his greatest weapon.
Marisa:"see alice?, experience won him the fight"
Alice:"*sigh* i see... guess you were right marisa"
Oh how much it hurt to say that.
Boomstick: The Raging Demon of Instant-Hell-Murder-Awesomeness!
Wiz: And so Shang Tsung fell once again releasing his devoured souls, again.
That still creeped reimu a lot.
Boomstick: Looks like Tsung's all souled out! Ha ha, get it, Wiz?
Everyone in here just accepted the fact that boomstick will keep doing a lot of bad jokes at the end.
didn't mean they liked it.
Wiz: The winner is Akuma.
Marisa:"well let's see the-huh?"
Reimu and alice also noticed what marisa was looking at some kind of thick red mist.
Marisa:"oh come on!, an incident now!"
She really wanted to keep watching this stuff.
Alice:"well if it is an incident i'll need to see if my home is alright"
Marisa:"yeah you go do that, hey reimu let's just go and-"
Reimu wasn't here, she wen't outside and yep reimu was already going to do her job.
Marisa:"DAMNIT REIMU!!"
With that marisa took off, flying full speed towards reimu.
SHANG TSUNG VS AKUMA END
Well this episode is finally done.
And a time skip too, so you will meet the staff of the scarlet devil mansion (yes flandre too).
I'll see you all the next chapter.
