Kim: Hey everyone.
Ron: What's up?
Rufus: Hi.
Kim: Whysoserious85 is outside smoking right now, so he asked us to get you going.
Ron: Brotha, needs to stop smoking.
Rufus: YUCK!
Kim: Some people just like it, Ron. (smiles seductively) Sometimes I need a smoke after you are done with me.
Ron: (grins) Hehehe.
Me: (walks in) Cool it you two. I already got a couple lemon requests for what you two did in the car before.
Kim & Ron: (blush)
Me: Sorry this took so long everyone. That was a large cigarette. We are coming down to the wire. Only one test left. Let's recap on where we stand right now.
Ron: Green Lantern drew first blood with his Energy Beam.
Kim: Danny Phantom followed up by cruising to victory with his Intangibility.
Rufus: X-Factor, even.
Me: Right, now let's get back to Dr. Dorian who has the final say on which Shield breaks this tie. (turns on TV)
Danny Phantom, the Green Lantern. Two warriors of justice from opposite sides of the spectrum. Both warriors have tested their shields against high impact cannons, and LA Finest. But our experts have given the final call to Dr. Armand Dorian for the edge.
"From a medical standpoint," Dr. Dorian began. "A shield is any structure, object, or device that protects the human body from harm. Today we have Kevlar, where Chainmail once was, and Plexiglas riot shields where the wooden shield once was. All very different, but with the same goal. We could argue the strength of Danny's and GL's shield all day. But for the test we administered, both did their jobs. Two tests, two adequate shields, NO injuries. I'm sorry to anger our fans, but I have to call this one even."
For shield capabilities, neither side gains an advantage. The camera shifted to Max, Geoff, and Armand at the computer.
"We have never had such a close fight before," Max said.
"No way," Geoff added. "There is only one test left, and it's Special Attacks. We are going to see the best attacks these two have."
"This next test could be what decides who wins in the simulation," Max finished.
"Truth be told," Dr. Dorian started. "I am both excited and terrified to see what kind of damage these two can inflict with their Special Attacks." The camera shifted once again to another area of the firing range with 2 small brick shacks. Both were five feet by five feet with a simple steel sheet roof on top of it. One side had no wall to allow access to the inside. A single mannequin was placed in the center of the structures, unaware of the destruction to come. The five men walked up to structures and Geoff carried a sheet of G-Force patches.
"Time for the main event, guys," Geoff started. "We have a small shack here that our dummy villains have taken shelter in. You are going to use the Ghostly Wail and the Light Constructs on your targets. We have these shock patches here to measure the impact of your attacks. The purple one is the 37g patch, equivalent to a 30mph car crash and the green are 100g. If the red on the 100g patch is visible, it's a kill." Geoff held up the third sheet containing black patches. "These were specially made for us by Shockwatch. They are rated to 120g pressure. Being that you two are super-human. We can assume you two would survive the 100g forces that can kill a normal human. If the black one is tripped, it is a super-human kill." Geoff places the patches on the targets and returns to the group as the Green Lantern readies himself.
For Special Attacks, the Lantern Corp's signature offense was limited only by their imagination. The Solid Light Construct, an ability to create massive objects for bludgeoning foes.
"John," Max started. "Everyone knows the Solid Light Constructs are the signature attacks of the Lantern Corp. Just what will you be using to cause havoc?"
"I'm going with a tried and true classic," the Green Lantern responded. "A large green fist." The experts chuckled at the Lantern's choice, knowing the carnage to come. Even Danny Phantom couldn't help but get excited to see what would happen. With cameras rolling, the Lantern took to the air and levitated 30 feet from the target.
"3…2…1…LIGHT IT UP!" Geoff yelled. The Lantern reared his fist back and charged his ring. The energy snaked out from his hand and formed a monstrous green fist. Danny quickly took note of the time it took for the Lantern to form the construct. Throwing his arm forward, Stewart sent the massive construct rocketing to the brick building. The fist slammed into the side creating a cloud red dust and brick fragments. The steel roof buckled and deformed under the pressure. In the dust the mannequin went flying in several pieces. As the fist impacted the ground, a mild shockwave rippled through the ground causing Geoff and the others to steady themselves. As the dust wafted in the air, the fist disappeared as the Green Lantern flew back to the others at the computer.
"JESUS CHRIST!" Max shouted at the dust cloud.
"NO WAY," Geoff said laughing. "No (bleep)ing way."
"Somebody got a spatula I can borrow?" Dr. Dorian said. Danny Phantom looked on the scene and gave a mild nod at what he saw. And try as he did, Geoff took a few minutes to calm himself down. Once the shock had died down, the five began walking over to the destroyed brick shack. But halfway there, Max made a startling discovery.
"I don't want to be a buzz kill, Danny," Max said pointing to a tan finger on the ground in front of him. "But we are only halfway there and body parts are already greeting us." Danny Phantom gave no response as they continued to the structure. The full scale of the Lantern's strike was evident when they reached the scene. "Oh my God," Max started. "This is pure carnage." None of the three wall remained standing and the bent steel roof lay half buried in brick dust. The mannequin was broken into several pieces. A leg and a forearm were visible outside the structure. Geoff and Max cleared the deformed roof out of the area and all were greeted by the rest of the destroyed mannequin. The entire form was crushed and bared no resemblance to the human form it once was. All present groaned and laughed in both amazement and disbelief.
"As I said," Dr. Dorian began. "Can I borrow a spatula?"
"This is mayhem," Geoff said searching the remains. After a few seconds, he found the mangled chest with the shock patches. Pulling the piece out, he examined the patches. All but one had been tripped. Laughing, Geoff presented the patches to all around. "The punch looked devastating, but look at this. The 37g patch is tripped and so is the 100g patch. That attack is lethal to a normal human being." Danny Phantom's face grimaced as he took in all of the carnage, but quickly regained some of his steam as Geoff continued. "This is very impressive, definite kills…for mortals."
"You pretty much said it," Dr. Dorian began. "I would compare this attack to being hit by a car at about 45mph. There would be significant internal bleeding, a collapsed lung, broken bones; you could fracture the skull, possibly getting a depressed skull fracture which would be lethal to human."
"The 120g patch is not tripped," Max said. "Danny could survive that and take you out."
"In that case," Dr. Dorian continued. "I could examine it along the lines of someone wearing something like protective armor, or padding. I think we would still see injuries, but they would be minor compared to what we've seen here."
"And I hate to break it to you," Danny interrupted. "But just like your Energy Beam that attack took a couple seconds to do. Plenty of time for me to defend against it."
"Kid," the Lantern said. "That is the second time we have heard you say that. Sounds more like you are trying to use it as an excuse." Danny Phantom frowned at the remark, and opened his mouth to argue.
"Bottom line," Max said firmly. Both Danny and the Lantern turned to him. "This attack is lethal to a human being, to Danny it's not. May hurt him and cause some internal injuries, but chances are you would be staring down an ecto-beam after this attack."
"Yea there is no room for speculation in science," Geoff said. "This was not lethal to a super-human."
The Green's Lantern's knock out shot turned out to be a glancing blow. Can Danny Phantom capitalize on the Lantern?
"Danny," Geoff began. "I have heard a lot about this attack, I really want to see it." Danny smiled as he left the ground, his legs retaining their human form. He flew over to the ground 15 yards in front of "his" target. Eyeing the structure, Danny took a cleansing breath to calm himself.
"What do you think will happen?" Max asked the Lantern. The hero said nothing as he stared at the boy intently. Geoff's eyes were locked on the boy standing with his back to him, his finger on the high speed trigger. Seeing Danny give a slight nod, Geoff spoke.
"3…2…1…LIGHT IT UP!" he shouted activating the camera. Danny took a deep breath and focused his energy into his torso. Clenching his eyes shut, Danny let the power flow and escape his mouth. A mournful wail, loud enough to wake the dead flowed through the air. Even from behind the Phantom, all present had to cover their ears to muffle the dreadful sound. The green energy in the wail rocketed to its target, impacting the wall with a silent thud. The structure and the mannequin inside began to sway back and forth. As Danny's wail continued, the walls and roof collapsed, burying the mannequin under rubble. Danny's mouth closed as he ran out of breath, he then fell to one knee, panting heavily. Dr. Dorian rushed over to the young man, worried. Only one other person had ever needed medical attention on the show. Dr. Dorian was quickly followed by Geoff, Max, and the Lantern.
"Danny?" Dr. Dorian said reaching the boy. "Are you ok?" The young man lifted his head and lightly nodded his head. The doctor was deeply concerned; the last thing anyone expects a hero to do is collapse.
"Doc, is he ok?" Max shouted joining the two.
"He seems to be," Dr. Dorian responded.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine," Danny said raising his head all the way. He was greeted by the Green Lantern's hand extended to him. The young hero looked quick before taking his rivals hand.
"That power is relatively new isn't it?" the Lantern asked. Danny nodded to the experience warrior.
"When I first started using it," Danny began. "It would drain so much of my energy; I would revert to my human form." The Lantern's eyes widened at what the boy said.
"I see," the Lantern said. He looked to Geoff who hand the same look on his face. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Yea," Geoff said. "Danny would use this as a last ditch effort if it drains him that much."
"HEY GUYS," Max shouted. None had noticed that Max went over to the rubble and had dug out the mannequin. Once Danny caught his breath, the four walked over to the computer wiz. The mannequin was in Max's arms, crushed in a couple places but overall, still intact. "I know this looks bad for Danny, but check it out." Max pointed out the three patches on the torso. "Red equals dead, one, two…three. All the patches were tripped."
"Good lord," Geoff said in sheer disbelief. "You managed to naturally generate a pressure wave that, roughly, has the same energy as a car slamming into you at 100mph. Doc, what could this do to the human body?"
"Pssss," Dr. Dorian said in awe. "This is the kind of trauma that just completely destroys the human body. Basically, the hit will destroy just about every membrane in the body, rupture blood vessels and liquefy the softer tissue." All grimaced at the doctor's description. "In shorter terms, you would literally be a splat on the pavement."
"I have to be honest," the Green Lantern said. "I've travelled to many planets, met many life forms, and seen many things. But I've honestly never seen anything like that before."
The sheer power of Danny Phantom's Ghostly Wail has stunned everyone present. The camera shifted back to the fight zone, Max, Geoff, and Dr. Dorian were still in awe of what they saw at the test range. Back at the Fight Club, our experts deliberate on what they witnessed.
"We've seen a lot on the show before," Geoff said. "This by far is the most incredible thing we have ever seen. I've never seen anything naturally generate 120gs."
"Medically speaking," Dr. Dorian began. "It can't get any worse. If someone was wheeled into the ER with the injuries that wail can make, I would tell the nurse to drug him up to make him comfortable, and notify next of kin. I wouldn't even entertain the idea of life support."
Our experts are impressed with Danny's abilities, but who will get the edge in Special Attacks?
"Honestly," Max said. "I didn't think Danny could ever truly stand up to what the Lantern could do with his ring. But seeing that wail, in action and the sheer force in it. I have to give the edge to Danny Phantom."
"While the Ghostly Wail is impressive," Dr. Dorian said. "We have to remain impartial and the Solid Light Constructs are much more versatile. That give you options and options make it easier to kill. I'm going with the Green Lantern."
Our experts are divided; the final decision comes to Geoff. Who will he give the edge to? Coming up, Danny Phantom, the Green Lantern. The battle begins as both warriors comes toe to toe.
Who?
Is?
Deadliest?
Me: (pauses TV) I knew Danny's Wail was powerful. But jeez…
Ron: Mucho ouch-o in that thing brotha.
Kim: Just the thought of being liquefied from the outside.
Me: And the Lantern's Constructs…it all depends on the mind. Suppose someone snaps when they have the ring.
Ron: Snap like Sinestro or snap like Jigsaw?
Me: Jigsaw…
Rufus: YIKES!
Kim: I've seen a lot of evil doomsday machines, but even that gives me the creeps.
Me: Care to change your votes?
Kim & Ron: No.
Rufus: DANNY!
Me: Our guests remain faithful to Danny Phantom, but will the versatility of the Lantern's ring prove useful. R&R let your voice be heard. Who will be the Deadliest Warrior?
