Chapter Fourteen: The Winter Soldier VS. Boba Fett

It's Marvel versus Star Wars in a battle of assassins. Will the Winter Soldier's decades of experience give him the edge needed to win? Or with the Jedi Killer's skillset be too tricky to conquer?

Zap: "Assassins. One of the most dangerous professions in the world, one meant only for the truly skilled and bold. And you'd be hard-pressed to find a pair of men more skilled or bold than today's combatants. The Winter Soldier, the US soldier turned Soviet spy."

Dark: "And Boba Fett, the slayer of Jedi Knights and most dangerous bounty hunter in the galaxy. I'm Dark and he's Zap-."

Zap: "-and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle."

Zap: "Captain America is one of the most well-known and beloved heroes across all of fiction. It'd be difficult to find someone who isn't aware of the legendary Sentinel of Liberty."

Dark: "But behind every great man is a kickass sidekick. A Robin to his Batman, an Ahsoka Tano to his Anakin Skywalker-."

Zap: "-and a Dark to his Zap."

Dark: "Yeah! Hey, wait a minute…what the hell?! YOU'RE the sidekick here!"

Zap: "Whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy. The point we're trying to make is that many famous and spectacular heroes have sidekicks of their own…including Captain America's own sidekick: Bucky Barnes."

"Don't do anything stupid till I get back," a tall man dressed in Army attire spoke to a shorter blonde man as he walked away.

"How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you," the blond replied with a smirk.

The taller male (with a bit of a sigh) turned back around, "You're a punk."

"Jerk," the words were spoken without heat, the two men hugging each other tightly.

Zap: "James Buchanan Barnes was born back in 1925. At the age of only ten, Bucky lost both of his parents in accidents and was separated from his younger sister (who was sent to boarding school). Before he was even a teenager, Bucky's entire family was taken from him. Due to a love of the armed forces, Bucky persuaded officials to allow him to remain at Camp Lehigh as a ward. When the second World War broke out, Bucky set himself up as providing supplies to American soldiers. This eventually led him to crossing paths with the legendary Captain America."

Dark: "Fun fact, Bucky didn't even realize the secret identity of the star-spangled soldier. This all changed when he walked in on ole Stevie changing into his star-spangled tights one night. Wait, serious? Captain America, perhaps the greatest soldier throughout all of human history, got his secret identity discovered because he didn't make sure his changing area was secure? Geez dude, amateur mistake. Every guy knows to make sure to lock the door when they're doing stuff that they don't want others to see. That's what I always do."

Zap: "Oh, you used to lock the door when doing that?"

Dark: "Shut up! It's not MY fault you weren't listening! Anyway, Rogers decided to take the young Bucky under his wing. He spent months under the captain's training before making his own debut as a costumed fighter to stand beside the legendary hero. But everything would forever change at the war's end."

Zap: "Rogers and Barnes were on a mission in London on the hunt for the Nazi scientist "Heinrich Zemo". After the ensuing battle, the two leaped onto a plane to catch the fleeing scientist…but only Bucky had been able to get on. Captain America called out to his young protégé to get off, but Bucky's sleeve had been caught on its cockpit. The vehicle exploded in mid-air, and Bucky Barnes, the sidekick of Captain America, had perished that day."

Dark: "Oooooooooor, did he?! No, no he didn't. And, while the big blue boy scout took a long power nap in the watery depths, Bucky had survived the plane's explosion (at the cost of his left arm). Found by a Russian submarine who was hoping to find either Captain America himself or at least traces of the long-lost "Super-Soldier Serum" (as a Nazi agent had killed the serum's creator before he could write down the formula), they were disappointed on both fronts. But that doesn't mean that they couldn't find…uses for their newfound prize."

Zap: "On that day, Bucky Barnes was destroyed and something FAR more dangerous emerged from his ashes: the Winter Soldier."

"Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists," a red-haired woman spoke in a low tone to the blonde man holding her against the wall, "The ones that do call him "The Winter Soldier". He's credited with over two dozen assassinations in the last fifty years."

Dark: "The Winter Soldier? Why'd they call him that? Not that it doesn't sound cool, of course."

Zap: "Weeeeeeeel…he was found by the Soviet Union, in a country known for its harsh winters. It's not THAT difficult to figure out where the name came from. Anyway, while he was no Captain America, Bucky WAS still skilled and capable enough to serve as a useful warrior to his handlers. He served as a ferocious assassin throughout the decades, being constantly unthawed and re-frozen for missions. He was even good enough to have trained Natasha Romanova herself in the Red Room."

Dark: "But that's not even Bucky at his best. See, a group known as the "Brotherhood of the Shield" created a serum known as the "Infinity Formula" (or "Forever Compound") centuries ago. It was a diluted version of the "Elixir of Life" developed by, get this, Sir Isaac Newton in 1652."

Zap: "The formula could greatly prolong the life of whoever takes it. It eventually found its way into the hands of Nick Fury during the Second World War, who would spend the next few decades having to constantly retake the serum every year to maintain its capabilities. The effects were eventually passed on to his son, Nick Fury Jr., who transferred it over to Bucky during a blood transfusion to save his life."

Dark: "If you thought Bucky was a badass before, you haven't seen ANYTHING yet. The Infinity Formula augmented Bucky's strength, speed, durability, reflexes, and healing to the very limit of human potential and turned him from a "mere" skilled assassin into one of the most dangerous men on Earth. He can easily punch through walls and throw fully-grown men around like ragdolls, run at nearly forty miles per hour, and can fight for hours on end before showing any signs of exhaustion. And that's not even getting into that SWEET vibranium arm of his."

Zap: "Incorrect Dark. Common misconception. While Bucky is given a vibranium arm in the movies, his comic counterpart has an arm comprised of a strong but unspecified metal alloy. But don't count it out just yet. This arm is strong enough to tear through metal chains and even shatter a "Cosmic Cube" in its fingers (an artifact that can manipulate matter and energy at will) and is durable enough to tank an attack from the vibranium claws of Black Panther with no visible damage. It can emit an electrical discharge and even a burst of flame, map out Bucky's surroundings to where it can detect camouflaged opponents like Miles Morales, and even houses a retractable blade."

Dark: "Bucky is a master of just about every weapon you could imagine. Pistols, snipers, grenades, throwing knives…the works! His guns even come equipped with palm sensors, meaning that only he can use them. If someone else tries? KABLOOOY! See Zap?! It's totally okay to have explosives put in things!"

Zap: "Yeah, maybe on things like weapons (to keep enemies from using their weapons). But YOU put explosive triggers on the fridge, multiple door handles, and the toilet?!"

Dark: "I told you that was training! Expect the unexpected! Man, you are never going to survive the apocalypse with that attitude!"

Zap: "You're an idiot. Anyway, Bucky made his mark as one of the most skilled and dangerous warriors in the Marvel universe. He's fast enough to dodge an electrical attack at point-blank range, skilled even to hold his own against Daredevil and Hawkeye simultaneously, and durable enough to survive hits from the likes of Ursa Major and even the OG Spider-Man Peter Parker (the latter of whom being able to effortlessly tear through metal and destroy tanks on his own)."

Dark: "The Winter Soldier made his marks on the Earth as one of the deadliest assassins in the planet's history and has more than proved it with how he's able to hold his own against his ole buddy Cap. The two clashed with each other on numerous occasions, all culminating in ole Stevie using one of those Cosmic Cubes to fix Bucky's mind by literally rewriting it through reality itself! Now that, (sniffs), that's real friendship right there. Hey Zap…if I were brainwashed into a ruthless assassin, would you alter reality to save me?"

Zap: "Dark…if you were brainwashed and tried to kill me, I'm positive that at least one of us is going to wind up dead. Anyway, Bucky soon joined the heroes' side after he was "fixed". Things weren't exactly "sunshine and roses" for Bucky after his memories were restored, however. Even though he was under the control of others, it turns out that forgiving yourself isn't so easy when you're responsible for so much death and destruction. Even after all of the good he's done, Bucky still wonders if he's done enough to redeem his soul for the sins of his body. But he's fought alongside Earth's Mightiest Heroes to save the planet on more than one occasion and even took up the mantle of "Captain America" after the original's death. If you ask me, I'd say that Bucky Barnes has more than proved himself a true hero."

"I didn't know you SURVIVED, Bucky!" A man in red, white, and blue spoke, emotion evident in his voice, "We can help you!"

"No one can help me, Rogers," the brown-haired man before him hissed back, "While you took a long nap, the world moved on. And I. Moved. With it."

Zap: "The Star Wars universe is…well, it's pretty crazy (to be perfectly honest). Between space wizards, mind-controlling parasites, and cosmic entities straight out of Lovecraftian horror, just LIVING in this universe can be a challenge. In many of these circumstances, the best way to survive would be to keep your head down and not make yourself known."

Dark: "But there are always people who can't just stay down and stay put. They need action, adventure, and the rewards and excitement that those things can grant. Those willing to push past the limitations placed in life. Those willing to stare Death itself in the face and spit in that face while giving the bird. And Bounty Hunters exemplify that to an extraordinary degree."

Zap: "And few Bounty Hunters embody this better than Boba Fett."

"There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millennium Falcon," Darth Vader spoke as he walked in front of a collected group of various bounty hunters, "You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive," he stopped before a man dressed in pale green armor, pointing a finger in his face, "No disintegrations."

"As you wish," Boba Fett replied without any hesitation or change in tone.

Zap: "One of the most feared killers in the galaxy had a more…unique origin than some may expect. Decades before he was the most dangerous bounty hunter in the galaxy, that title was held by his "father": a man named Jango Fett. One day, Jango was approached by the Sith Lord "Darth Tyranus" to be the template of a clone army. Jango agreed, on the condition that he'd be given a clone for himself. But not an "ordinary" clone. You see, the troopers cloned to form the army of the Galactic Republic were genetically augmented to age at a much faster rate than a normal human (to the point where their natural lifespan would only be around four decades in the best-case scenario)."

Dark: "But not this one. Jango requested a clone of himself that was completely unaltered and would age like a normal human being, so he could raise him as his son. And, in case you couldn't figure it out, that son was named "Boba Fett".

"Boba," a tall, white-skinned alien with black eyes and a long neck greeted the small, tan-skinned boy in blue who answered the door, "Is your father here?"

"Yep," the young Boba replied.

"Maybe we see him?"

"Sure," although Boba gave a suspicious glance at the man in the brown cloak next to the alien, he didn't stop them from entering the room, "DAD! Taun We's here!"

Dark: "Man, that must have been cool! Imagine having one of the most feared and dangerous men in the known galaxy as your father! You can guarantee that NO ONE'S gonna pick on that kid at school! Or, rather, they WOULDN'T have before. Nowadays? Well…-."

A bald, dark-skinned man wielding a purple energy blade sliced Jango's head clean off, his body collapsing to the ground a moment later.

Dark: "…yeah. Whelp, you know what they say about bounty hunting: it's hard to get AHEAD in the business!"

Zap: "Yeah, nice one. Because I'm sure our audience hasn't heard THAT one about a thousand times prior. But, anyway…after the death of his father, Boba was left alone in the galaxy. Many people put in that scenario wouldn't have survived on their own in such a cold and unforgiving place. But, be it by his genetics, sheer determination, or just plain stubbornness, Boba wasn't going to become just another statistic in the "Star Wars" universe. He didn't just survive…he thrived."

"You are a clone," a red-haired woman spoke as she stood up, smirking at the armored man before her, "I've heard your voice thousands of times."

"Mine might be the last one you hear," Boba responded without missing a beat.

Dark: "Every bounty hunter needs to protect themselves while out in the field, and Boba certainly knows how to pick his tools. He's covered head-to-toe in armor comprised entirely of "Beskar": one of the strongest and most indestructible metals in the "Star Wars" universe. And forged into armor? This is, to be blunt, the good shit! Blaster shots, thermal detonators, Sarlacc stomach acid…even lightsabers can't get through this thing easily. You know, the laser swords that can cut through virtually ANYTHING?! His armor even comes with a scanner, thermal vision, and 360-degree vision."

Zap: "But Boba couldn't have become a fearsome bounty hunter if the armor was all he had. He comes equipped with a plethora of weaponry at his disposal, the first of such being the classic "EE-3 carbine rifle": a short, reliable blaster capable of firing single shots or even bursts as well as heavy firing capabilities. His Z-6 jetpack allows him to fly across the battlefield, reaching a potential maximum of over two hundred and thirty feet as well as housing a single anti-tank rocket…although, it IS a weakness as well as a strength. A single well-placed strike can ignite the jetpack, which can cause injury or even death to its user. You know…basically how Boba was knocked into the Sarlacc Pit on Tatooine in the original trilogy, despite being able to fly."

Dark: "The gauntlets that Boba wears on his wrists house numerous toys, each perfect for Boba's bounty huntin' time. He's got a flamethrower, vibroblades, a fibercord whip that can restrain Chewbacca (who's strong enough to tear the arms off of sentient beings!), and rockets. Oh, the GLORIOUS rockets…"

Zap: "Uh…Dark?"

Dark: "Huh?! I'm awake! What?! I wasn't thinking about anything inappropriate!"

Zap: "Suuuuuure. Alrighty then. Anyway, as befitting of a master bounty hunter who's prepared for anything, Boba doesn't just have "traditional weaponry" at his disposal. After being captured by a tribe of Tusken Raiders in his middle age, the once great bounty hunter was turned into a slave. But, after saving a Tusken child from a "Sand Beast", Boba earned the respect of the tribe's chief. He was allowed to forge himself a "Gaderffii Stick" from the branch of a Wortwood Tree. A simple weapon it may be, but a deadly one in the right hands. And, just in case it wasn't obvious, Boba IS the right hands."

Dark: "Boba is strong enough to rip off the limbs of aliens and kick a metal door clean off of its hinges, fast enough to dodge blaster bolts, and durable enough to tank a thermal detonator at point-blank range and stand RIGHT by up. He's a certified badass but, when you think about it, that doesn't really come as a surprise. You know, seeing as how he and his father are Mandalorians! Those are basically humans trained ferociously in the art of warfare. Think of them kind of like Saiyans! Except, they can't fly…or use Ki…or have any actual superpowers…okay, maybe a bit lamer than Saiyans."

Zap: "Don't count the Mandalorians out just yet. They may not have any superhuman powers, but their talents for warfare were nigh-on unrivaled in their prime. They were such skilled fighters that they held their own against the Jedi Order in an all-out war that lasted sixteen years!

Dark: "You know, JEDI…the guys who do things like control minds and manipulate matter?! In extended works, they can even destroy planets!"

Zap: "This is especially impressive since the Mandalorians lacked the ability to use the Force, having to rely on their resources and sheer ingenuity."

Dark: "And that's not even where Boba's badassery ends! In the old "Legends" timeline, Boba became the leader of the "New Mandalorians" after the Galactic Civil War AND even personally trained Han Solo's Jedi daughter so that she could kill an all-powerful Sith Lord who threatened galactic stability…the Sith Lord in question? Her own twin brother, Jacen Solo. I suppose that's TECHNICALLY spoilers, but that story was told ages ago! I mean, keep up guys."

Zap: "And how, exactly, did a bounty hunter like Boba Fett train a Jedi like Jania Solo well enough to duel a Sith Lord? Why only by using a lightsaber that he acquired from one of his many Jedi kills. He even used ANOTHER lightsaber to duel Darth Vader himself, one of the most dangerous and powerful Jedi killers in galactic history...TWICE."

Dark: "That's right. As if Boba Fett couldn't get MORE awesome, he does. Boba is one of the few Bounty Hunters capable of including Jedi on his list."

Zap: "It's actually pretty funny. To most of the galaxy, Jedi are viewed as these unbeatable and all-powerful gods. To Boba? They're just another target on his list."

Dark: "In his decades, Boba Fett has lived QUITE a crazy life. He's taken on nearly every possible enemy in nearly every possible scenario. The best piece of advice I can give you? Don't piss this guy off…it's the last mistake COUNTLESS beings across the galaxy have ever made."

"Are you Mandalorian?" A man dressed head-to-toe in silver armor spoke, a ready blaster in hand.

"I'm a simple man making his way through the galaxy," the cloaked, bald man before him replied, "Like my father before me."

Zap: "Alright the combatants are set! Let's end this debate once and for all!"

Dark: "It's time for a Death BATTLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!"

It was all quiet. A bit too quiet for Boba to be "at ease" (which already was all but impossible in his line of work).

The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter slowly walked forward, the snow crunching underneath his feet. Over a week ago, Boba had been given a contract from the Empire to track down an important artifact that had been stolen by the Rebels. Considering the nature of the planet where the artifact had landed, Boba didn't really understand why the Empire didn't just send their forces to take it. Not that Boba was complaining, of course. A relatively simple mission that doesn't break his codes, as well as good pay?

Not exactly an experience he could complain about.

Just then, an explosion suddenly shook the surrounding environment. Boba quickly raised his rifle, darting his head (and weapon) around his surroundings. In the distance, he could see a plum of smoke rising.

"Well, that seems like as good a place as any to look," Boba muttered to himself as he activated his jetpack, taking to the skies towards this "new development".

Bucky Barnes kicked aside a nearby corpse, growling under his breath at the sight of clear snow. "Damn." Bucky's glare darkened as he looked up at the sight of the dozen corpses that he had already turned over, "Where is it?!"

He had come to these mountains to retrieve something of utmost importance, and he hasn't had any luck. He had found out where the object was being held but had (unsurprisingly) found it being held by a terrorist cell.

He had taken out the terrorists in question but finding the actual object was proving to be more of a frustration than he had planned. He had already taken out the entire force (thirty to be exact) and was now left to shift through the remains of their base to find it.

Bucky's eyes widened and quickly narrowed as they landed on a dark grey suitcase. "Jackpot," he muttered to himself before he quickly made his way through the snow.

Just then…he stopped.

"You might as well come on out," Bucky spoke in a cold tone, "I know you're there." As he turned, he saw a man cloaked in green armor emerge from the forest. "Who are you?"

"Name's Boba Fett and a very powerful man hired me to retrieve that package," Boba spoke, his finger on the trigger of his rifle, "So I'm going to need you to step aside."

Bucky's grip on his gun tightened as he turned around, standing directly in front of the case, "You want it? Come take it."

(Fight!)

Bucky quickly began firing his gun, with Boba taking to the air and firing off his blaster. The two men sped around one another, not ceasing their attacks for a moment. Bucky ducked behind a nearby rock as Boba flew into the trees.

When Bucky peeked his head out, he just narrowly avoided a blaster shot aimed at his head. He then grabbed the boulder with his left arm and chucked it at his opponent with all of his might. Boba quickly flew into the air, avoiding the attack as he sped toward the ground. As Bucky raised his gun, Boba fired his fibercord whip from his gauntlet…wrapping around his opponent's entire body.

Bucky let out a grunt as he was pulled off of his feet, being dragged across the snowy earth by the intergalactic bounty hunter. In another moment or two, Bucky struggled against the binding…before breaking free of it, quickly rolling to try and steady himself.

Once Boba noticed the lack of weight, he quickly turned around and shot forward toward Bucky. As Boba readied his blaster…Bucky suddenly leaped into the air, punching the bounty hunter across the face with his left arm.

Boba was sent crashing into the ground, sprawling across the snow into a tree trunk. He struggled to pick himself up, holding a hand to his (ringing) head. Just then, he felt a hand with a grip of steel wrap around his throat. Boba was lifted off of the ground by Bucky, who simply glared as he held the other man over his head.

As Boba clawed at Bucky's left arm, he tore the assassin's sleeve…revealing his metal arm to the world.

Bucky glared menacingly at the man in his grip, moving him closer to glare directly into his "eyes". This, however, proved to be a mistake, as Boba threw both feet into Bucky's stomach. When the assassin stumbled, Boba activated his jetpack and flew out of his opponent's grip.

Glancing around the snowy terrain, Boba saw his blaster lying on the ground. He quickly zoomed near the ground, snatching up his weapon before he could be stopped. When he readied said blaster, however…Bucky had disappeared from his sight.

The bounty hunter let out a groan of annoyance before he activated his helmet's thermal vision. His eyes darted across the battleground for a few moments…before they narrowed in on a single orange figure hiding within the trees.

"There you are," Boba quickly fired a rocket from his wrist, smirking when he saw Bucky's body flying from the resulting explosion.

Bucky, however, was quick to right himself, rolling to steady himself before landing on his feet. He spotted Boba hovering in the air and quickly began firing his gun. The bounty hunter soared through the air, firing off his own weapon in response.

For the second time that day, the two men found themselves in a "back and forth" of their weapons.

After a few moments of this, Boba suddenly shot toward the ground. He landed on his knees and fired off another rocket from his wrist, which Bucky was successfully able to dodge. The bounty hunter fired off multiple rockets from his wrists, Bucky skillfully dodging each one as he ran up closer and closer to his opponent.

When he noticed how close the near-silent man was getting, Boba suddenly activated his jetpack and shot forward. With his opponent suddenly speeding forth at such a short distance, Bucky was left too stunned to defend himself as Boba grabbed his shoulders and slammed him into a tree. Boba threw a punch to Bucky's cheek, the attack connecting moments before he landed another punch. He slammed his knee into Bucky's stomach before he reared his fist back for a third punch…but this one didn't connect.

Bucky caught Boba's fist with his organic arm before punching the bounty hunter dead in the face with his metallic one. This punch knocked Boba clean off of his feet, sending him sprawling across the ground. Before Boba could pick himself up (in a daze), Bucky grabbed him by his neck and leg. He spun the bounty hunter around like a top before THROWING him with all of his strength, sending him crashing into a nearby boulder (cracking it). Boba's jetpack suddenly ignited when he made contact with the boulder, sending him flying across the snow and into trees. Boba quickly unstrapped his jetpack, falling to the ground as the device flew through the air for a few moments before it collided with a tree and exploded.

Boba picked himself up off of the ground, glaring at Bucky through his helmet. The assassin felt no sense of fear or caution as he glared at his opponent, pulling out a pistol in one hand and a knife in the other. Boba reached behind him and pulled out his Gaderffii Stick. He spun the weapon in his hands for a few moments before he readied the weapon.

Bucky charged forward like a bull, quickly shooting off rounds from his firearm. The bullets, however, didn't do any damage to Boba's armor, with the bounty hunter simply continuing his own charge.

Bucky avoided the first two strikes of Boba's weapon before he shot his foot into the bounty hunter's stomach.

Although Boba slid across the snow, he remained on his feet.

Bucky leaped into the air, driving his knife in a downward strike…only for Boba to use his own weapon to block the attack. Another blow of the Gaderffii Stick knocked the knife clean out of Bucky's hand before he drove the end into Bucky's stomach. He threw another strike, but his opponent was successful in catching this one. A quick blow to Boba's stomach via Bucky's metallic arm caused the bounty hunter to let go of his weapon (sending him to his knees) before he tossed the weapon away. Bucky then grabbed Boba by his face and slammed his head into the ground. The bounty hunter soon found himself spun around (yet again) before being flung into a nearby tree. Boba quickly gathered himself, shaking out his head…just as he saw Bucky charging at him like a bull.

The assassin's metal fist narrowly missed his target, piercing clean through the bark of the tree trunk. Bucky quickly fired off more shots from his pistol before immediately pulling his arm from the tree…just in time to be tackled to the ground by the bounty hunter.

Boba unleashed a barrage of punches across Bucky's face before a backhand sent him off of Bucky's body. The assassin then leaped into the air, poised to strike. Boba was successfully able to roll out of the way, narrowly avoiding Bucky's fist as it slammed against the ground (cracking it).

Boba placed his hand on his wrist and unleashed a barrage of fire toward his opponent. Bucky quickly retaliated by throwing out his hand and shooting off his own stream of fire. The two blasts collided in the middle and resulted in the forest being rippled by a massive explosion. Boba activated his infrared scanner…a split second before Bucky came charging from the smoke like a bull, his metallic arm reared back.

When Bucky's fist made contact with Boba's chest, the bounty hunter was sent flying through the air and crashed into a nearby tree. Bucky pulled out a second pistol and began firing off numerous shots toward his opponent.

But, to his frustration, he realized that his shots weren't doing anything.

At this moment, Boba quickly recovered and charged. He took ahold of Bucky's arm (pulling the weapon away) and decked the assassin across the cheek. He then grabbed Bucky by his shirt before driving his head into his opponent's. As Bucky stumbled and fell to the ground, Boba quickly took ahold of the assassin's gun and placed it underneath his chin.

"It's over," Boba spoke simply before pulling the trigger…only for nothing to happen, except for the gun to begin beeping.

"Not quite," Bucky replied with a smirk before driving his foot into Boba's stomach. The assassin quickly got back to his feet before grabbing the gun and tossing it into the air. Bucky then grabbed ahold of Boba's arm before a powerful electric discharge was sent through the bounty hunter's body, causing him to howl in pain before he received a punch across the face. Bucky then caught the gun (having fallen back to Earth) and chucked it with all of his might into Boba's face…where it exploded only an inch away from the bounty hunter.

Boba was sent flying into a tree and didn't even fall before Bucky grabbed his face and slammed his head back into the trunk. The bounty hunter then found himself lifted into the air by his helmet, kicking out his legs and clawing at Bucky's arm. Bucky spun Boba around before throwing him down into the snow, barely giving the bounty hunter even a moment of "rest" before he was grabbed by the leg and tossed into a nearby boulder.

Boba growled under his breath as he picked himself up, seeing his opponent standing there with an impassive look on his face. Bucky (unknowingly) kept his gaze locked with Boba's as he raised his left arm…just before a blade shot out from his fist.

Boba's response? To pull out a silver cylinder from his belt, twirling it in his hand before a green blade of pure energy erupted from the hilt. "Hmph," Bucky stared at the new weapon with a raised eyebrow before he charged forward like a bull. Boba gave his lightsaber another twirl before he moved forward to attack as well.

Bucky leaped over Boba's horizontal, two-handed slash before shooting out a kick to the bounty hunter's helmet. This time, Boba was able to remain on his feet (albeit a little dazed). He quickly spun around with a second slash, but Bucky was quick to backpedal.

Bucky threw a punch forward, his blade scrapping against Boba's armor. As Boba swung his lightsaber in retaliation, Bucky was only BARELY able to avoid the green blade (which sliced off a few strands of his hair). As the bounty hunter swung again, however…Bucky was better prepared.

Bucky caught Boba by his wrist before pushing his opponent back into a tree. Enough pressure on Boba's wrist caused the bounty hunter to grunt in pain, the weapon falling from his grip and deactivating. As Bucky reared his fist back, Boba shot his head into the assassin's own. Bucky only fell back a single step before throwing his metallic hand forward and unleashing a barrage of fire at point-blank range.

In those moments, however…Boba quickly grabbed his fallen weapon and crouched down (avoiding most of the flames). He activated the lightsaber and swung upward…slicing off Bucky's arm at the elbow.

The pale-skinned man let out a shout of pain and surprise as the metallic limb collapsed onto the snow. As he held onto the stump, Bucky looked up to glare murderously at Boba. He unsheathed a knife from his belt and leaped forward like a bloodthirsty beast. The suddenness of his opponent's attack (someone he thought would have surrendered after losing a limb) caught Boba off-guard, the blade and force behind it slicing the lightsaber in two.

Boba caught Bucky's arm when he attempted a second slash before driving his fist into Bucky's cheek. Bucky caught himself as he stumbled before he shot a back kick into Boba's stomach. When the bounty hunter stumbled, he soon found himself tackled into a tree. Bucky only landed a single punch to Boba's side before the bounty hunter sent him back with a kick to the chest. When Bucky stumbled (his back facing his opponent), Boba lunged forward and wrapped his arm around the assassin's neck.

Bucky clawed at Boba's arm furiously, snarling and breathing heavily. He then threw his arm back, driving his elbow into Boba's chest over and over again. Although Boba had to grit his teeth to keep himself from shouting in pain, his grip didn't loosen on the assassin. The two men thrashed across the battlefield, slamming into tree after tree. Boba threw his other hand onto Bucky's head, pulling them both back against a boulder. With his grip on Bucky's head, Boba pulled with all of his might and…

SNAP!

Bucky's body ceased movement, resulting in Boba quickly dropping him to the ground. The bounty hunter leaned back against the boulder and slowly slid to the ground. Boba was left breathing heavily, taking a moment to simply…stare at the sky.

After a few moments, the bounty hunter finally picked himself up. He took one last glance at his opponent's corpse before he began walking in the direction of his bounty.

(KO)

Boba carries the "package" into his ship as Bucky's corpse lays there in the snow.

Dark: "Man, I'm torn. I don't like seeing someone as epic as the Winter Soldier losing…but I love Boba too, and that fight was AWESOME! Huh…the complications of life, am I right?"

Zap: "Right. Anyway, this fight was certainly on for the records. Entering into the ring, Bucky certainly didn't come unprepared. He was better trained, slightly stronger, and POSSIBLY more experienced depending on how you look at it (Bucky has been around for almost a century, but Boba had decades of consistent experience as opposed to constantly being frozen and thawed out)."

Dark: "BUT everyone's favorite bounty hunter had more than his fair share of advantages to come out on top. His jetpack gave him better maneuverability over the battlefield while his arsenal was far more destructive and diverse than Bucky's own. And while their reaction capabilities don't exactly have a MASSIVE gap in-between them, Boba has shown to be capable of holding his own more often against people who can move that fast. Hell, Boba has more experience in holding his own against some of the most powerful beings in his universe (whereas that kind of demonstration is rare from Bucky)."

Zap: "Perhaps the biggest factor comes down to durability. Simply put, it was HIGHLY unlikely that Bucky would be able to get through Boba's armor. His weaponry isn't even among the "upper echelon" that Boba's armor has survived with ease (which includes explosions, acids, and lightsaber strikes), whereas Boba's own tools had a MUCH easier time damaging his opponent. Bucky certainly made Boba work for this victory, but, ultimately, the bounty hunter held just enough advantages in weaponry, protection, and skills to claim the gold."

Dark: "Although Bucky tried to soldier his way through, Boba ultimately crushed him under his fett."

Zap: "The winner is Boba Fett."

(Next Time on Death Battle)

Two men are riding in a carriage being pulled by a large creature. In the back of said carriage was a tall metal "box".

CRASH!

Sharing a look, the two men stopped the carriage and quickly leaped off to examine the strange noise.

Their find? A GIANT hole clean through the box in the back.

"It's another one of her tricks!" One of the men yelled.

"There's a giant hole in the box! How is that a trick?!" His companion yelled back.

"It's not!" A female voice suddenly rang out from behind them. When they spun around, they saw a small girl standing atop a hill. "It's the real deal!" With quick movements from the girl, the two men were trapped within two large slabs of earth. She spun around and (telekinetically) shoved the men into the box before leaping forward and pulling it closed with her hands. Afterward, she jumped on top of the box, "I am the greatest Earthbender in the world! Don't you two dunderheads ever forget it!" With one final stomp, the girl leaped to the ground…which promptly crumbled before morphing into a "wave-like state", allowing her to zoom away.

Versus

A man in orange armor is fighting a second man in red and black, and a teenage boy in a cape. He punches his smaller opponent across the jaw before grabbing the older male by his chin. As he raised his free arm…

"SLADE!" When (the now-named) Slade turned around, he saw a blonde teenage girl leaping through the air…her hands glowing yellow and two large pieces of rock floating near her head. "I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" As she launched the two rocks (with a murderous glare), the man in orange was only BARELY able to roll out of the way.

Toph Beifong VS. Terra

(Author's Note: Annnnnnnnd scene!

This fight gave me a little more trouble than I had expected, but I feel pretty good about the writing that followed.

Next time, we're kicking things up a few notches as the queens of the earth will duke it out in a battle to the end. Who will come out on top? You'll have to tune in to find out.

Constructive criticism ONLY. No flames, please.

Review, Favorite, Follow, and I'll see you guys next time:)
