DEATH BATTLE FANS! HERE IS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR YOU! THE NEXT CHAPTER!
It was now late at night. The full moon was out, The stars were shining. There was no one around.
But inside an empty building, the Gremory peerage was in the middle of a brawl.
Inside was a giant green lamia with mad, red eyes, hollow fangs like that of a cobra and muscular arms as he began to lash out. This was one of the stray devils.
"Rossweisse! Any suggestions?!" Rias asked as she dodged an attack.
Standing back with her new computer screens as she began an analysis.
"Seeing as though he is a snake, try and fool his senses!" She said.
"I got it!" Issei said as he then activated his Fire Dragonborn mode.
"Eat this!" He said as he breathed fire all over the area.
The lamia hissed in confusion before he was suddenly blindsided by Gasper in his Tempus Dracule form as some scales were knocked back.
"OK, Koneko! Go right ahead!"
"Right!" Koneko was in her neko form and smashed her fists into the stomach of the Lamia.
"Good! Now, Xenovia and Kiba! Strike to remove the arms!" Rossweisse said as she looked at a different screen
Kiba and Xenovia had Ikari Tetsu and their Optical Blade ready as they slashed the arms off, watching as they melted in the fire.
"The arms are sorted!" Kiba said.
"Asia, can you halt the devil?"
"Right! Frigga!" Asia said as she pointed her keyblade and froze the devil in place.
"Akeno!"
"Right!" Soon multiple versions of Akeno appeared in the air as they started to build up electricity.
"THUNDAGA!" They all yelled as the lightning sparked and they all unleashed a powerful lightning strike.
When the dust settled, the rogue lamia was barbequed as it them fell forward.
Rias stepped forward, charging a giant claw of her destruction magic above.
"You, stray devil that has wondered from the path. As punishment for your betrayal, I sentence you to a quick death.' she then let the claw grab the baked snake as it squeezed it to bits. 'NOW, PREPARE TO DIE!" The claw scrunched the corpse into bits.
"That's that." Rias said as they all came together, turning back to normal.
"Man, these new power-ups are fucking awesome!" Issei said as he still felt the fire in him boil.
"I know. My Keyblade still has a lot of tricks left I have yet to uncover." Asia replied as she looks at her Keyblade.
"Guess those new tricks with my Destruction power was helpful after all." Rias said.
"Not to mention my cloning technique as well as the new lightning spells I have~" Akeno said with a smile.
"I can tell. Ikari Tetsu is amazing' Kiba said before sighing. 'But does it take a lot out of me…" he said.
"I know. Tempus Dracule is cool but I am fried." Gasper had to agree.
Soon Rossweisse came back down.
"I have to remember to thank Showman for the idea of rune screens. They really are useful for planning and attacking." The Valkyrie said as she turned back to normal.
"You're lucky. I do wish I had more than new swords." Xenovia grumbled.
"Don't worry, Xenovia. MAybe the next battle, you'll get the chance to learn some new tricks." Rias said with a smile that the blue haired girl returned.
"YEah…" She said as the group headed back home.
The next day, the ORC went to their clubhouse for the next episode, getting ready for the next day. The angels and Vali's team were there as well, along with Shawn.
"Hey guys, I heard you were trying out your new toys." Sirzechs said and the ORC smiled in response.
"Yep. Guess those videos paid off. We took care of the stray devil in no time."
"Nice to see those new tricks are helpful." Azazel said with a smirk.
"How about we get to the next battle?" Rias asked. It was clear they were eager to get started.
Shawn changed to his Showman persona and took them to the viewing room.
"Ms. Valkyrie? You have the honour."
Rossweisse then spun the wheel with all her might and it landed on….
Xenovia 2.
"Finally. It's my turn." The sword maiden said with a smile as she got into position
"So what battle is it?"
"Time to see a real clash of swords." Showman said as he played the trailer.
It began with a deep voice spoken.
"Over the nine mountains and eight seas. There is nothing I can't cut!"
(One Piece OST - Roronoa Zoro Battle Theme)
Soon the dark screen was sliced in two, showing a muscular green haired male with one eye closed, a large scar on his chest, dressed in a green kimono with a red obi, a black bandana on his left arm, dark green pants and boots with two swords in his hands and one in his mouth.
He is shown to be cutting down several figures at high speed, dueling a large giraffe man before he started to spin his blades at a high speed as he then sliced through a large mountain man.
When the sword cut through the man, it said the fighter's name;
RORONOA ZORO!
Xenovia's eyes widened as her jaw dropped in awe.
And she wasn't the only one.
"A true swordsman…Xenovia, you are so lucky." Kiba said in awe and envy.
"I think she will be learning some new moves with her blades." Akeno said in curiosity.
"Yep. High time she learnt how to dual wield." Showman said with a smirk as he played the video.
Boomstick: Past, present, or future, one kind of fighter has stood the test of time: The swordsman.
"That is true. No matter what time we are in, swordsmen or swordswomen will never fall. They are a legacy." Kiba said with a wise tone.
Everyone had to agree on that.
Wiz: And today's combatants are two of anime's most skilled warriors to ever wield a blade.
Boomstick: Roronoa Zoro, the feared swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Damn, that is one scary mother-" Azazel couldn't finish as he was then smacked by Grayfia.
"My child is here." She said in a cold yet motherly tone.
Wiz: And Erza Scarlet, the battle mage of the Fairy Tail guild.
"WOAH! A SMOKING HOT REDHEAD! YES PLEASE!" Issei yelled as he puffed steam from his nose.
"We probably should've expected this…" Rias said with a shake of her head, a small smile adjourned on her face.
Everyone nodded their head in agreement.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
RORONOA ZORO
Wiz: To be a human, people need to have a goal to strive for. Something to reach and push them to become the best of the best. A noble goal or a dream.
"That is true. Dreams are how we are able to continue to be the best." Micheal said and everyone agreed as they had their own dreams to become the best of the best.
Boomstick: And no one had a bigger dream than the bounty hunter turned pirate, Roronoa Zoro.
Everyone saw the sight of the man from the trailer video as he had his swords ready, bandana on his head as he had a sword out.
"Damn, what a badass." Issei said and everyone had to agree with Wiz. Soon the scene shifted to a young Zoro looking over a village with a tough guy smirk on his face. The girls couldn't help but coo at the sight of a cute little Zoro, trying to act tough as he overlooked the town with a grin.
"Aww…look at the cute boy!" Rias said with a bright eyed stare, hands on her cheeks.
"He is so stinking adorable!" Akeno had to add as well.
"I guess he is kinda cute…" Koneko muttered.
(Gomu Gomu vs. Goe Goe - One Piece by Kōhei Tanaka)
Wiz: As a child, Roronoa Zoro dreamed of becoming the greatest swordsman in the world.
Boomstick: But he didn't just enroll at a dojo. He showed up, challenged everyone, and then just sort of stuck around.
"Well…that is one way of training…" Kiba said with a sweatdrop.
"So, it's like level grinding. Huh." Issei remarked. He thought that Zoro's fighting looked familiar.
Wiz: Zoro's dojo training sharpened his natural talent with a sword, but there was one person he could never quite manage to beat: his sensei's daughter, Kuina (The girls cooed at the sight of little Kuina). They dueled A LOT, and Kuina won every single matchup. All 2,001 of them.
The audience just looked with blank looks at the result
"How…How does one lose that many times?" Issei said with a narrowed look.
"Either he has really bad luck…or she is that good." Azazel said
Boomstick: Damn, you'd think he would've gotten at least one win in!
"That's what I said!" Issei said.
Wiz: Despite the constant defeat, Kuina and Zoro were very close friends. Together, they promised that someday, one of them would become the world's best swordsman.
"So a match made in heaven?" Sirzechs said, with a smile
Boomstick: Sadly, that wasn't meant to happen. In a form of disrespect, Kuina fell down some stairs and died. Not a way you would expect a swordsman to go out. Which is a shame. She would've been a badass.
Everyone couldn't help but grimace and form a frown over the sight of the young girl's body.
"That…I have no words." Irina said in sympathy.
"It is always a sad thing to see someone die young." Micheal said as the heaven faction said their prayers to the girl.
Wiz: Does thin out the competition for world's best swordsman, though.
"DUDE! NOT COOL!" Issei yelled.
"Now is not the time to talk about competition!" Kiba added
Boomstick: True. I mean, that's how I became the world's best shotgun wood carver!
"Shotgun…Wood carver? The hell?" Koneko asked in confusion.
BACKGROUND
Full Name: Roronoa Zoro
Height: 5'11''/181 cm
Age: 21
Birthday: November 11
Bounty: 1,111,000,000 belly (Issei: HOLY THAT IS A LOT)
Former Occupation: Bounty Hunter
Member of the Straw Hat Pirates
Trained under Dracule Mihawk
Awful sense of direction
Wiz: After Kuina's death, Zoro inherited her sword, and used it to hone his skills even further, eventually leaving the dojo in search of the current titleholder of "World's Greatest Swordsman", Dracule Mihawk.
Boomstick: But, he immediately got himself lost. With nothing better to do, he became a bounty hunter and wandered around the ocean until he ran into a weird, stretchy, pirate kid.
"Well…that is one way to become a bounty hunter…" Xenovia couldn't help but deadpan.
"But if he needed to eat then there is not much choice." Azazel spoke.
Wiz: You mean Monkey D. Luffy, who brought Zoro onto his crew of Straw Hat Pirates.
Boomstick: Actually worked out pretty well, since Luffy was already looking to hire him anyway. Turns out, Zoro has quite a reputation.
Soon, everyone bore witness to the town flinching with over exaggerated expressions when the name was mentioned.
"If someone can make people flinch like that, then you know he has a reputation." Vali said and everyone agreed with him.
Wiz: At this point, he was already a master swordsman, and, after finding and training under Mihawk, his swordsmanship became legendary.
Boomstick: He created his own fighting style, Santoryu, also called "Three Sword Style", because he uses THREE swords, one in each hand, and one in his friggin' mouth!
"OK…I hope I don't learn how to use a sword like that." Xenovia said with a grimace.
"Relax, you'll learn how to dual wield and his techniques as well as some other tricks." Showman said with a grin
Wiz: That doesn't seem very safe...
Boomstick: Ah, shut up, Wiz. Badasses don't care about safety! Especially when you have the blades Zoro uses, like his old friend's blade, Wado Ichimonji, the cursed sword Sandai Kitetsu and the mysterious Enma, which can help bring a true swordsman's inner power out.
Soon all the sword wielders had a look at the three blades used.
"The first sword must be of high quality for it to be used. That shine shows it has been taken care of well." Kiba said as he saw Kuina's blade, shine in the sun
They then bore witness to Sandai Kitetsu as the blade spun in the air with Zoro having an arm out.
"Oh no! MOVE YOUR ARM!" Xenovia yelled but her jaw dropped as the blade just clanged onto his arm like a metal bar as it fell to the floor.
Everyone's eyes widened as their jaws dropped at the sight.
"How…How did he?" Xenovia said with shock, unable to form words.
"I heard of the devil's luck. But this is just ridiculous." Rias muttered, heart on her chest to stop it beating fast.
Next up was Enma and they bore witness as his arm turned black while the sword glowed purple. Zoro also seemed to be struggling with using it before he swung the sword and split the ocean.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THIS GUY?! FIRST IS THAT STUNT WITH THE SWORD AND NOW THIS?!" Issei had to yell.
Everyone had to agree with him.

"Holy shit, those are a lot of techniques." Xenovia couldn't help but say. Who could blame her? There were a lot of techniques she could try out with her swords.
"I think if you learn some of these, they may help you with your fighting style." Rias commented.
Wiz: Regardless, with the Three Sword Style, Zoro can perform several unique attacks, including the Oni Giri, where he strikes with all three blades at once.
Boomstick: Or the Tatsu Maki, where he makes a tornado dragon!
Wiz: By swinging his swords a certain way, he can fire compressed air projectiles toward an opponent,
(Zoro's Nine Blades - One Piece by Kōhei Tanaka)
Wiz: ...like with his deadliest technique, the 1080 Pound Cannon. And if he needs to boost his strength, he can use Ichi Gorilla to boost his arms for powerful sword swings.
Boomstick: But Zoro ain't dumb enough to not adapt if his swords become unavailable, so he managed to master the Two-Sword Style dual wielding and the One-Sword style quick draw. Plus, if he has no blades, he can just use his fists to send opponents flying.
"Well it's nice to know that Zoro knows how to fight if all of his blades are not available." Arthur spoke, as he adjusted his glasses.
"True. Variety is important." Vali added.
Streets: Also, with his Santoryu, by charging up, he can enter his King of Hell Three Sword Style, where he can launch a deadly slash that can cut through both attacks and opponents with ease.
Everyone saw the image of Zoro using the attack to cut through a giant dragon, leaving a nasty wound on his chest.
"Damn! Did he literally cut through that dragon like it was butter?!" Bikou commented.
"I believe so. This Zoro must be extremely skilled in doing go.
Boomstick: Damn! That's painful! But that isn't all Zoro knows.
"Hold up, he has more?!" Kiba had to exclaim.
Streets: That's right. Last but not least, he knows the Kyutoryu Nine-Sword Style. Where it gives him a unique effect.
Soon everyone bore witness to Zoro suddenly growing more arms and heads, akin to a known figure.
"Is that the Asura?!" Rias spoke as she paled.
Boomstick: Wait, did he just grow four more arms and two more heads?! How the hell'd he do that?!
Wiz: It's just an illusion, but somehow, it has physical presence of the legendary Asura
"I guess that it's a powerful fighting spirit." Rias had said.
Boomstick: He's like a human Slap-Chop, with a total of nine swords!
Everyone chuckled at that.
(Luffy's Fierce Attack - One Piece by Kōhei Tanaka)
Wiz: That's one way to put it... in addition to his skills with a blade, Zoro is able to use Haki, a mysterious power that every living thing possesses, but only a select few have learned how to use.
Boomstick: Haki, much like Neapolitan ice cream, comes in three flavours, and Zoro can access all three flavours: chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.
Wiz: Chocolate... I... what? I... I don't even... well, one of those... flavours... is Observation Haki.
Boomstick: That's vanilla!
Wiz: Of course... which, in some ways, is similar to Spider-Man's spidey-sense. Zoro can sense the location of other people, even if they're invisible or far away, and can also predict most opponents' attacks.
"Huh. That can be useful in predicting incoming attacks…" Xenovia said as she thought about it.
"And maybe I can use it too, if it's usually based on sight." Gasper added.
Boomstick: Then chocolate, everyone's favourite Haki flavour, is Armament Haki. This lets him form an invisible armour around himself as protection, or harden his swords to make his strikes cut through almost anything.
"OK, that is useful for cutting through tough armour." Kiba said. The knights agreed on that.
Streets: And recently, Zoro has access to the strongest of Haki: Conqueror's Haki. This pretty much dominates anyone with weaker willpower to Zoro, rendering them helpless.
Boomstick: Ah yes, strawberry. And remember when we said the Enma can draw out Zoro's power? Well, this is what we meant. By enhancing his haki into his swords, Zoro can dominate anyone weaker willed than him.
"So, like when Sirzechs gets mad enough to waste any poor soul that gets in his way?" Rias asked and when they saw it in action, they had to agree with her.
Wiz: With Haki, Zoro has been a real asset to the Straw Hat Pirates. They've traveled the world and had a lot of... weird adventures.
Boomstick: Like that time Zoro fought a literal living mountain man named Pica, and sliced him clean in half! Or when he did the same thing to a meteor
"HOLY SHIT!" The teens yelled as they witnessed him slice the meteor to bits.
Wiz: A strike so powerful, it didn't just cut through Pica, it sent his top half flying upward. Considering Pica's enormous size and approximate mass, this strike had to have been more powerful than the first-ever deployed hydrogen bomb: the 11 Megaton Castle Romeo.
Boomstick: And for the meteor, the fact that Zoro was still standing meant that he was in top condition. Taking it into account meant Zoro was able to cut through the meteor equivalent to 6.75 Teratons of TNT.
Holy hell, that is extremely powerful.
That was what everyone was thinking.
Wiz: But Zoro is more than just strong
FEATS
Cut through a mountain-sized man (Everyone was in awe at this)
Dodged point-blank cannon fire
Decapitated a dragon (Ddraig and Albion: HEY!)
Survived certain death from Kuma
Moved 9000 miles per hour (Kiba: That is pretty fast.)
Strong enough to lift a building
Survived 30 million volts of electricity
Defeated Mr. 1
Punched a hole through a tidal wave
Sliced a Meteor (DDAAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNN!)
Boomstick: Also, Zoro's pretty damn fast. One time, he moved so quickly, he seemed invisible to a room of highly-trained assassins. And when the odds are against him, he'll keep pushing himself, even past the point of bleeding out.
Wiz: Thus, he's powered through some incredibly intense pain. Such as...
Zoro gets a taste of Luffy's pain and spasms wildly.
Boomstick: HOLY SHIT! How the hell is he still standing after that?!
"That's what I would like to know!" Everyone yelled. They saw the bloody body Zoro had after the effects of the pain taking.
Wiz: That's a good question. After a battle with Kuma, a bear man -because this is One Piece- Zoro took on not only his own pain of near-death, but also Luffy's, despite being told that doing so would surely kill him, but it just... didn't.
Boomstick: And he doesn't even brag about it. What a badass.
"Too true." Issei said with a nod.
Wiz: Zoro is definitely the stoic, badass type, but he can't do everything. He's a swordfighter above all and prefers to fight up close and personal.
Boomstick: He also has the world's shittiest sense of direction. He gets lost without someone there literally reading the map for him, and could never survive on his own without his friends.
"Wow. That is some weakness." Issei remarked.
Anyone with a bad sense of direction as a weakness definitely had issues.
Wiz: You might think Zoro would be more of a lone wolf type of guy, but no, much like how Kuina's death spurred him on to become a great swordsman, it's his friends who keep him fighting.
Boomstick: After all, over the nine mountains and eight seas, there is nothing he can't cut!
Zoro: I set sail for only one reason: To meet you!
Mihawk: And what is your goal?
Zoro: To beat you!
Everyone's opinion on Zoro was unanimous. He was a badass. A simple human with nothing but a unique sword style, his guts and the dreams and promises he made meant he earned respect from everyone one.
The sword fighters like Kiba, Xenovia and Arthur were interested in his sword techniques, Xenovia especially if it meant she could cover a lot of weaknesses she had.
ERZA SCARLET
Wiz: Welcome to the world of Fairy Tail, where mages and wizards reside. If you have magic, why not join one of the many guilds? Especially, the number one and rowdiest guild of them all: Fairy Tail.
Boomstick: But just be careful not to piss off one of their strongest. The Titania herself, Erza Scarlet.
Everyone had a look at the beautiful redhead in armour, the girls nodded their heads in approval at her beauty…well Rias and Akeno mainly…Koneko and Asia just pouted at her large chest.
The boys were slightly entranced by her beauty.
"HOLY HELL! THAT BODY! THOSE BOOBIES! IT'S LIKE LOOKING AT A RIAS VERSION OF A KNIGHT!"
Issei decided to be honest with his thoughts. Koneko slammed a fist on his head for that.
"Hey, she is a beauty. You have to admit that." Azazel said with a grin.
The girls glared at him for that.
(Main Theme (2014) - Fairy Tail by Yasuharu Takanashi)
Wiz: Erza Scarlet grew up in a small, rural town called Rosemary Village. It was pretty picturesque, as far as childhoods go…if you called being abandoned by her mother normal.
Everyone had small smiles as they saw the peaceful images but they had to frown at the abandonment issues.
Boomstick: Hold on, Wiz, I'm getting a premonition. Despite everything seeming perfect, something... something terrible happens.
Wiz: A murderous cult attacked, destroyed the city, and enslaved the children to build a tower to resurrect their evil overlord.
Boomstick: There it is.
"Oh, this is like the Holy Sword Project all over again…" Kiba muttered as painful memories surfaced as they saw the terrible enslavement.
It was way too similar to what that lunatic Valper did.
Rias rubbed his back as a means to calm him down.
Wiz: Young Erza was tortured, and while she may have lost an eye in the process, she also gained a friend, Jellal Fernandes. He actually gave Erza her last name, Scarlet, after her red hair.
Boomstick: She and her buddy swore they'd escape, so Erza ended up staging a revolt, and saved the other slaves, thanks to discovering her latent magical powers.
"HAHA! EAT IT!" Issei couldn't help but yell as he did a double deuce with his middle fingers.
"Mr. Hyoudou!" Grayfia yelled as she glared at him with an icy stare.
Issei shrank down and muttered sorry.
"Though they do deserve it." Xenovia said.
Everyone agreed with her on that.
Wiz: Unfortunately, not everyone made it out.
Boomstick: Turns out, Jellal got possessed by some spirit that made him a huge dick, and she had to go without him.
Jellal: Fine, if you want to leave so badly, then I'm not going to stop you. But you'll have to go alone.
"Eesh, he turned into a grade-A jackass." Azazel said with a scowl.
"Well, he did get possessed by a spirit." Serafall spoke.
BACKGROUND
Full Name: Erza Scarlet
Age: 19
Birth Year: X765
S-Class Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild
7th Guild Master of Fairy Tail
Has an artificial eye (Everyone winced at that.)
Also known as Titania
Favourite foods: Strawberry cake, souffle
Wiz: After that nightmare, Erza swore to dedicate her life to helping and protecting the innocent, and so joined the Fairy Tail Magician's Guild. Luckily for them, she possessed a great skill set for a mage.
Boomstick: Her main thing is Requip magic, which is basically like having an armory with you at all times, without having to lug it around.
"Huh. That can be useful…" Xenovia said as they all thought about the uses.
REQUIP MAGIC ARMOR SETS
- Heart Kreuz
- Heaven's Wheel
- Black Wing
- Sea Empress
- Purgatory Armour
- Robe of Yūen
- Piercing Armour
- Flame Empress
- Seduction
- Adamantine
- Giant Armor
- Celestial Armour
- Piercing Armour
- Wing BLade
- Wing God
- Flight Amour
- Bunny Armour
- Morning Star
- Lightning Empress
- Armadura Fairy
- Nakagami Armour
- Clear Heart Clothing
Everyone's eyes bugged out of their skulls at the many armours Erza had in stock.
"Holy hell! Ready for anything, am I right?" Rias said.
"All those armours. It's a knight's paradise…" Kiba added.
"I think Souji will enjoy that…" Sirzechs said to Grayfia, who agreed with him.
Wiz: Requip magic allows Erza to summon her vast array of weapons and armor at will, meaning she can use multiple combinations of swords, lances, and outfits, all in one fight, without ever really slowing down.
Boomstick: Damn, that'd be useful for all my weapons. How many is she packin'?
Wiz: She's rumoured to have access to as many as a hundred sets of armour and 200 weapons.
Boomstick: Nice! As far as armour goes, her go-to is the standard Heart Kreuz set, but there's also the Heaven's Wheel armour, where she can send swords flying at people, the spiky, defensive Adamantine armour, and the Black Wing and Flight armors, which have wings, for... flying!
Wiz: She even has a few elemental armours, such as her Sea Empress Armour, Flame Empress Armour, Lightning Empress Armour and Wing God Armour.
Boomstick: Her Robe of Yuen makes her stretchy, her Wing Blade armour can cut without hitting you, her Celestial armour for magic attacks and the Piercing if she want to make a good point.
Wiz: Don't forget her Giant armour, which she uses with a lance, Morning Star Armour which uses light blades, Purgatory armour, which has a lot of spikes. and, uh... Seduction armour? I'm not really sure what purpose this serves…
Boomstick: Probably to make enemies terribly aroused. Ever tried to fight with an erection, Wiz? (chuckling) Believe me, it's not easy. But compared to the bunny armour which has a weapon…Yeah those two were for the sex appeal.
"Oh, we can believe that." The girls said as they saw Issei pant like a dog at the sight of the seduction armour.
"All that body…on display…" Issei drooled as his node bled.
Wiz: Right... Well, Erza claims her most powerful armour is the Armadura Fairy armour, which is very... pink.
Boomstick: Actually, her strongest is the Nakagami Armour
Wiz: That's right. This armour not only dispels magic, but can cut through space.
"OK, that is impressive." Azazel spoke as they witnessed the halberd cut through space easily.
Boomstick: These are fancy and all, but sometimes...
(Scarlet Warrioress - Fairy Tail by Yasuharu Takanashi)
Boomstick: She doesn't even bother suiting up. If her back's against the wall, Erza equips her Clear Heart clothing. This enhances her speed and attack over defence, and channels all her magical energy into her katanas, for a decisive blow.
"And makes better use of showing her titties!" Issei said, getting a smack from Rias.
"Focus." She ordered in a stern tone.
"Yes, Ma'am." he said.
Wiz: She can charge magic through her swords to perform all sorts of magical attacks, even mixing and matching weapons and armors to better her chances in a fight.
Boomstick: She's also just really good at sword-fighting. Actually, she's really good with a lot of weapons, including hand-to-hand.
FEATS
Pierced a giant floating cube (Azazel: That's…something)
Survived a Jupiter Cannon shot
Can deflect bullets
Fought 100 monsters at once
Sliced through an airship
Sliced through Hades' magical chains
Obliterated a whole island (Sirzechs: Impressive)
Shattered a meteor while badly beaten (Issei: She did a what now?!)
Youngest guild member to pass the S-Class Mage Promotion Test
Wiz: All of this makes Erza an excellent addition to the Fairy Tail guild. She quickly became one of its highest-ranking mages and was the youngest member to ever pass the S-Class Mage Promotion Test, an incredibly difficult gauntlet only the strongest and wisest of warriors can even attempt.
"So, like the promotion exams…" Rias said as she thought about the comparisons. Both were extremely difficult to complete and only a handful could reach the top.
"Well she must be powerful if she became one at such a young age." Sirzechs said as he thought about it.
Boomstick: Speaking of achievements, she's pretty friggin' strong. Don't believe me? Well, here she is, lancing a hole through a giant, floating cube!
Volume of Cube:
100,251,078.71 Miles cubed
14,988,834.49 KM cubed
Wiz: This cube was about a hundred million cubic miles in volume. To punch through it, Erza's lance must have dealt about 16 kilotons of force. Not to mention, she even busted through a meteor while badly injured, resulting in an output of 1.2 teratons of TNT.
"GODDAMN, THAT IS POWERFUL!" Issei yelled and quickly held his head in agony over that.
"I know. And she did all that while weak?! I am truly impressed!" Vali said as he felt the battle fury within him boil.
Kuroka quickly pulled his ear.
"Ease it, hot shot…" She deadpanned.
Boomstick: Erza's also fast enough to deflect bullets point-blank from a flintlock pistol, guns with a muzzle velocity of about 540 miles per hour, and that's without a speed boost from her armour.
Wiz: Right, many of her armour sets grant her stat boosts, increasing her speed, magic, defence, etc. She's survived plenty of destructive blasts, including one that blew up an island. Considering that island's size, that's an explosion equivalent to two kilotons of TNT.
Boomstick: So, she's sexy, can survive island-busting attacks, and has a shit-ton of weapons? She's basically perfect, just wish she used a gun or two.
Wiz: Well, she may have a vast armoury, but swapping them in and out requires magic, and she can run her supply down if she's not careful.
"So like a mana bar?" Issei asked.
"I believe so." Rias said, causing everyone to look at her.
"What? I do have a life outside being a devil, you know." She said with a whine.
Boomstick: So, it's just like a mana bar in those fantasy games you always play. (Issei: That's what I said)
Wiz: Exactly, ahem, though, even when she's out of magic, she's still quite deadly in hand-to-hand, like when she fought her alternate self from another parallel universe.
Boomstick: That universe has a lot less clothing. Sign me up!
"ME TOO!" Issei hollered as he blew steam before Showman slammed him face first into the ground.
"Cool it, pervy pants." He said with a deadpan look.
Wiz: But when you're among the best in the guild, you get the job done, no matter the limits. Erza is definitely the Knight of Fairy Tail that they need.
Erza: I will withstand any physical pain, to protect the ones that I love!
And with that, they had a look at Erza's bio. All of them agreed that she was a powerful female figure, capable of being the damsel that puts people in distress. All of the girls admired her for her beauty and commanding presence, especially Rias while Xenovia was interested in her Requip magic ability, which can be useful for her new swords so she didn't have to lug them everywhere.
The boys also enjoyed her. Issei, mainly for her beauty or the fact a lot of her armour showed a ton of skin. Kiba because of her skill with the blade and the fact she embodied the knight well while Vali felt the battle lust within him boiling. She was a skilled fighter.
Now they had to decide on who would win.
"Well, we know that Zoro is the better trained one between the two, so he has an edge in that." Kiba said.
"Yeah, but Erza has so much armour on her that they may force Zoro to change tactics. Plus, each armour can grant boosts, and Zoro can play catch-up." Xenovia countered.
"We cannot dispute the use of Haki or whatever it's called. Erza may not have faced someone with that." Arthur said.
"Guess the only thing to do is watch the battle." Kiba said as the other knights agreed with him.
DEATH BATTLE
Zoro is seen walking through a seaside village, looking around. Erza is also seen walking around, a woman on a mission.
The two then accidentally bump into each other.
Zoro: Oh! Sorry, lady. Could you point me in the way of the shipyard? I've been looking around for hours…
"Wow. Bad sense of direction kicks in." Issei remarks as they all nodded
Erza looks at a paper she was carrying around that contains a bounty for the pirate.
"Oh dear, she recognises him…" Asia says nervously.
Recognizing Zoro from the picture on it, she drops the paper and summons her sword.
Erza: Aha! You're the one I'm looking for! Come peacefully and you won't be harmed.
Zoro: Sorry, I'm busy. Maybe later.
"I don't think she wants to take no for an answer." Irina says as they watch Erza point the sword closer.
(Erza Advent - Fairy Tail by Yasuharu Takanashi)
Erza points her sword closer to Zoro's face.
Erza: Then we'll have to do this the hard way...
Zoro draws his sword and points it at the Fairy Tail Mage.
Zoro: I told you I'm busy!
"The classic bounty capture. Nothing fails." Xenovia says as she watches intently
FIGHT!
Erza leaps in the air and swings downward toward Zoro, who blocks the overhead attack.
Zoro: Well, I guess we're doing THIS now…
"Somehow, I think Zoro is too used to this by now." Rias says as she sees the swords clash.
"He is a pirate, after all." Akeno reasoned.
Erza tries a flurry of slashes but Zoro blocks each one before pushing her back. He tries some of his own slashes that Erza dodges. He then takes out his other two swords and leaps high in the air for a Santoryu attack.
Zoro: Oni Giri!
Erza manages to step back in time to avoid Zoro's attack, which destroys the house right next to them.
"Oh, whoever is living there is gonna be livid." Sirzechs says as he saw the house go to bits.
Erza then requips into her Black Wing armour, surprising her opponent.
Zoro: Woah! What?
"Guess that shocks him" Azazel remarked.
Erza: You're coming with me!
Erza flies downwards and grabs Zoro before kicking him to a nearby rooftop. Zoro quickly regains his footing.
Zoro: Neat trick...
Erza then dives towards the roof to attack Roronoa, who avoids her continuous attacks by leaping to the other rooftops. Erza re-quips her Flame Empress armour and causes a large flaming explosion that Zoro dodges by leaping off the rooftop.
Zoro then gets up to continue the battle but is quickly distracted by a flame on his clothes causing him to panic and roll on the ground to put it out
Everyone couldn't help but laugh at that. He looked ridiculous.
…while Erza watches and chuckles. This seems to aggravate Zoro
Zoro: Try laughing at this! 1080 Pound Cannon!
He throws compressed air projectiles at her, knocking her away. Zoro charges, but she blocks with her Adamantine armour, she then discards it, before they clash.
Zoro strikes with his katanas before Erza clashes with her broadsword. Soon, she trades out for her axe as Zoro continues to strike and slash as they are blocked. Zoro goes for two stabs but Erza leaps back before going for a downward strike, which Zoro dodges as he responds with another double strike.
"Now this is a proper duel between swords."
Erza leaps onto a rooftop and switches to her Giant armour, she throws the lance, but Zoro knocks it into the air with his swords and then strikes it back at her. She swaps to her Armadura Fairy armour and slices the lance in half.
Erza: You are strong, pirate, but this is TRUE strength!
She rockets toward him, glowing with green energy he leaps and hurls an air blast, the two collide, leveling that part of town.
"HEre comes the clash!" Issei says, eyes widened in anticipation.
Zoro lies in a crater, bloodied a bit and unmoving, Erza's armor falls off, revealing the Clear Heart clothing under it.
Erza: (sighs) Fool, nothing is worse than the loss of life.
"Damn…Zoro didn't even survive that." Issei said. Before they could leave, they heard Zoro speak
(The Very, Very, Very Strongest! - One Piece by Kōhei Tanaka)
Zoro then groans and stands up, blood dripping.
"HE SURVIVED THAT?!" They all yelled.
Zoro: Don't start crying, woman.
Erza: What?!
"Guess she is also shocked." Rias spoke in shock at Zoro standing up, his bloody forehead showing.
Zoro readies his swords.
Zoro: So much for all that "true strength" bullshit, huh?
Erza: No, I can do this!
Erza then summons her Nakagami Armour, halberd ready as she charges up energy. Zoro, then
puts on his bandanna as his sword starts to spark red.
Erza: I refuse to go down to a pirate!
Zoro: Good luck with that!
Erza then swings her attack as the halberd cuts through space to travel to Zoro, who responded with his own attack, the energy wave clashing the spacial slash as both struggle.
Soon Zoro's attack is able to go through the attack as Erza widens and dodges the attack.
Erza: Impossible! I refuse to fall in this battle!
She changes to Heaven's Wheel armour, she flies up into the air and summons several swords around her, she aims them all at Zoro.
Erza: I will claim this bounty for my guild, for my strength, for my friends!
The swords fly down, Zoro spins and knocks them away, he sees more coming towards him.
"Damn, that's cool" Kiba said, impressed.
Zoro: Bring it on!
He does his Nine Sword Style illusion and knocks the swords away, he leaps up and hops toward her, using the swords as stepping stones.
Zoro: You're not the only one who fights for their friends!
Erza swaps to the Clear Heart clothing and lands on one of the swords, they leap toward each other and clash.
"It's time for the clash! Who will win?!" Issei asked. They got their answer.
(Zoro's Nine Blades - One Piece by Kōhei Tanaka)
Erza is sliced completely in half down the middle, along with part of a mountain in the background.
"HOLY SHIT!" The boys yelled as they all watched Erza get split in two. That was so gory.
The two halves of her body land messily on the ground and blood spurts out, Zoro lands and sighs as he walks away.
Zoro: Now, where the hell is that shipyard?
Everyone clapped and cheered over the brutal victory Zoro claimed. Issei was a little put off over in his words '...the smoking hot redhead getting sliced in two…' but the fight overpowered that.
KO!
Zoro arrives in a different location next to characters from Metal Slug, confused about his surroundings, while the remainder of Erza's swords fall around her corpse.
"Seriously?!" Issei said as he looked at how Zoro got there.
RESULTS
(We Are (Instrumental) - One Piece by Kōhei Tanaka)
Boomstick: Jesus! Talk about a killing blow!
Wiz: In the past, Erza could react to projectiles flying over 500 miles per hour, but Zoro can move faster than the eye can see. U.S. Air Force tests have shown that a well trained human eye can consistently spot and recognize an image in one 220th of a second, so in this case, Zoro would've had to move from point A to point B, which is about 57 feet, in 4.5 milliseconds. That's close to 9,000 miles per hour.
Boomstick: That's more than five times faster than a bullet.
Wiz: Nowadays, both have shown to be around speeds faster than light but Zoro has shown to be more consistent with battling foes moving faster than light.
Everyone agreed with that as speed was a necessary thing in battle. No point in having strength if the opponent is able to dodge it.
Boomstick: Erza didn't really rely on speed anyway, and there's no evidence any of her armour magic could've helped close that wide of a gap. Her Flight and Blackwing may be able to do that but those are just limited options.
Wiz: Speaking of her armour, Erza did have more options in defence and weaponry, that we can agree on.
Boomstick: Sadly, a majority of them have abilities that enemies Zoro had faced off against using the same effects, which meant Zoro could easily know how to avoid and counter each one.
Wiz: Also another factor is that she was simply outclassed in damage dealt.
This got everyone interested. How was she outclassed?
Boomstick: Erza could withstand hits of about two kilotons, like the blast which destroyed that island, but Zoro has dished out much stronger blows than that.
Wiz: Slicing Pica in half, for example, was equivalent to 11.5 megatons. That's about 6,000 times bigger than anything Erza's survived.
Boomstick: And don't say that Erza's meteor feat is stronger, because people seem to forget one small factor. The girl was badly injured.
"Oh yeah, that meteor." Kiba realised.
Wiz: Yes, the force in which Erza had to destroy that meteor was 1.2 teratons of TNT, while Zoro did the same thing while not even flinching, resulting in 6.75 teratons of TNT. Granted, the output is different if Erza was at full strength with it being 9 teratons.
"So if Erza is technically stronger, how is she the loser?" Millicas had to ask
Boomstick: Then how did Erza lose if that was the case?
Wiz: One reason. Her magic reserves. The world of Fairy Tail, a wizard's magic is like energy and like we said, the more she switches out her armour and weapons, the more magic she uses is drained.
Boomstick: That's right. A lot of her armour like her Armodora Fairy and Nakagami armour use up a lot of her reserves and she doesn't really have any way of recovering her magic. By tapping into her stronger armour, it meant she was running low on steam pretty quickly, while Zoro's stamina and endurance meant he was always fighting at full strength.
"He does have a point. We have seen Zoro being able to fight for a long period of time, while Erza's magic reserves are big but not that huge.
Wiz: And while Erza's artificial eye may have seen through Zoro's Nine Sword Style illusion, there isn't any evidence that it could prevent him from actually attacking her.
"That is true. Seeing illusions work differently to actually blocking them." Azazel added.
Boomstick: She also has that habit of stripping down to Clear Heart clothing in a bind. Yeah, it gave her more sword power, but at the cost of less defence. This sounded like a good idea on paper, but close-range combat was Zoro's bread and butter.
Wiz: Erza was mostly self-taught, and while proficient with a blade, Zoro has trained with swords all his life, even with the greatest swordsman in the world; an up-close duel was exactly what he was looking for.
"That is true. Zoro had proper training compared to Erza. Having someone giving proper knowledge beats being self-taught." Azazel said, the teacher in him speaking.
Boomstick: But what about Haki? Couldn't Erza deal with that with her armours?
"Yeah, what about Haki?"
Everyone agreed about that statement.
Wiz: Sorry but no. Haki is all about the stronger willpower the user has. And Zoro's will is greater than Erza's. Remember, Zoro took on all the pain Luffy felt against that bear man and it was sheer guts that allowed him to not keel over. Erza, meanwhile while she does have a strong will, there have been moments where she fell to pieces. Not to mention, none of her armour magic actually have any abilities to try and overpower it as Haki is something not really native to the world of Fairy Tail. At the end of it, Erza had the versatility and the weapons, but Zoro's speed, endurance, training and indomitable will meant that in an up close duel, only one was left standing.
Boomstick: Guess she won't be getting a Fairy Tail ending.
Everyone chuckled at the pun
Wiz: The winner is Roronoa Zoro.
Everyone did a round of applause as Xenovia headed off to the training room.
Inside, Showman decided on what to teach her.
"Alright, sword maiden, I know what to teach you. First, we need to add something.
Showman poked Xenovia in the chest as she felt something awaken in her, her body glowing.
"Now try and picture a storage space."
Xenovia soon focused as she had Durandal ready. Soon, a turquoise magic circle with a large sword appeared as she placed Durandal into the circle, as well as her Optical blade and Masamune replica.
"Now try again and see if you can take the swords out."
Xenovia nodded as she summoned the same circle and placed her hand into the circle and drew out Durandal.
"Wow…" She said.
"You just learnt Re-quip! Now to try and teach you to dual wield."
Xenovia nodded as she summoned the circle and took out her Optical blade and got into a stance.
"I'm ready."
Showman smiled as he summoned two blades and the two got ready to practise.
A few minutes later, everyone entered and saw Xenovia wielding her swords as she clashed with Showman, showing a large improvement of skills.
"Wow…She is getting better." Issei said, ogling Xenovia as she spun around and her breasts swung each time.
"Yeah…something tells me Showman had given her a little gift as well." Rias said as they all continued to watch the duel.
Now with all of the gremory peerage having at least one match done, I will start editing the chapters, just cleaning up the chapters of spelling mistakes and typos.
Who knows when it will arrive.
