"OK guys, we have a very good match up today," Amanda said.
"The Hylian Knight was the protector of the Royal Family and would die for them." Jesse said.
"But the opponent he has is very deadly," Dr. Ronald said. "Before most of them died out, the Akkadian Warrior was the deadliest person in Egypt."
"I can't to see how this match up will end," Amanda finished.

WHO...IS...DEADLIEST?
To find out, the history of war and modern science collide, as Biomedical Scientists Matthew Roth applies 21th century technology to unlock new data on some of movies, video game, and comics greatest weapons. ER doctor Dr. Ronald Mack will assets the damage made by these dangerous weapons of war. And Computer Whiz Jesse Jacobs will input the data in the battle simulation that will determine the winner. Two of media's greatest warriors will be put into the battlefield. History will be written. But only one will be crowned:
DEADLIEST FICTIOAL WARRIOR
Welcome to the fight club, were we have set up a high tech battle zone. We have gather scientists, doctors, computer experts and ancient combat experts. All to simulate a one on one deathmatch between two warriors from two very different lands.
First up, the Hylian Knight, the fierce protector of the Hylian Royal Family and the land of Hyrule.
Hylian Knight Stats:
Appearing from: The Legend of Zelda Series
Homeland: Hyrule
Height: 6'0
Weight: 200lbs
Armor: Chainmail
But his opponent is equally deadly.
The Akkadian Warrior, Egypt's greatest warrior, who was feared by many.
Akkadian Warrior Stats:
Appearing From: The Scorpion King Series
Homeland: Akkad
Height: 6'2
Weight: 210lbs
Armor: Leather
(Shows a Caucasian man with short black hair, five day stubble and green eyes. He is wearing chainmail and taking practice swings with a polearm.)
Representing the Hylian Knight is Deadliest Fictional Warrior's own Matthew Roth, he is a expert in combat, both ancient and modern.
"The Hylian Knight was the finest warrior the Hylian people had," Matthew said, "They were the first and last line of defense for Hyrule."
The land of Hyrule is always in a state of flux, it can go from a peaceful kingdom to kingdom at war at anytime. While Hyrule has a massive regular army, they are spearheaded by the Hylian Kinghts. At peace time, they are protectors of the Royal Family. During times of war, most of them are sent to the fight in the front lines.
"The Akkadian is never gonna survive the onslaught he's about to face," Matthew said with a grin.
But our Akkadian Warrior expert believes that the Hylian Knight has picked the wrong fight.
(Shows a Middle Eastern man with black hair and a short beard. He's wearing a white shirt, black track pants and tennis shoes on. He takes a small scythe like weapon and strikes a practice dummy with it.)
Representing the Akkadian Warrior is Hakim Eliyahi , a Syrian-American born ancient combat specialist. He will demonstrate the weapons and tactics of the Akkadians.
"The Hylian Knight have no idea who their dealing with," Hakim said with confidence, "He'll underestimate him and die quickly.
The Akkadian warrior was born in a society which every male member were trained in the deadly arts of killing. Once feared by many, the Akkadians dwindled to almost nothing. However a Akkadian would eventually took control of Gomorrah and was known as the Scorpion King.
"The Akkadian warrior will be victorious, I know it," Hakim said with pride.
But how would a fast and agile Akkaidan Warrior fair against the might of the Hylian Knight
"The Hylian knight will take this one," Jesse said, "They have weapons that are harder hitting and his armor will hold out."
"The Akkadian warrior's fighting style is so fast, I don't think the Hylian knight will be able to keep up," Amanda said.
Both warriors will come in with a deadly arsenal of weapons.
Hylian Knight Weapons:
Hylian Broadsword
Hylian Halberd
Hylian Soliferrum
Hylian Burda Club
Akkadian Warrior Weapons:
Scimitar
Akkadian Barbed Spear
Throwing Spike
Kama
And for the first time on the show, we will go underneath the fight club to see Deadliest Fictional Warriors own ancient weapons armorer.
(Shows Amanda going up to a Asian man who has a white shirt, blue jeans, brown work boots and wielder's mask and apron.)
"I'd like to introduce Danny Tochigi. Since the start of the show, he has recreated the weapons used by ancient warriors," Amanda said.
(Danny simply nods at the camera and continues with his work.)
For our first series of test, we examine our warriors close range weapons: swords. The Hylian Knight comes slashing in with:
The Hylian Broadsword, a heavyweight sword that can slash flesh or break bones.
(Shows a Hylian Knight slashing a wolfus in the throat killing it)
"The Hylian Broadsword is similar to the broadsword you see in the hands of knights in medieval Europe," Danny said as he held up the large blade, "Its double edged, and is about five feet in length and weighs about four pounds."
But the Akkaidian Warrior also has a deadly sword of his own.
The Scimitar, a curved sword that was designed to kill.
(Shows a Akkaidan Warrior kill a enemy with a slash to the throat.)
"The Scimitar is a Middle Eastern Sword that curves up, and is primarily a slashing weapon," Danny said as he brandished the weapon, "Its about three feet in length and about three pounds."
(Shows the team and the experts at test area. Both experts have their weapons in hand.)
"OK guys we have a good test for you two." Amanda said, "First we'll send a one hundred pound pig on a zip line for you guys to hack at."
Amanda then walked over to a couple of gel dummies.
"Then you'll strike these two dummies that will clad in your opponents armor," Amanda said, "We want a slash to one and a stab to the other, Matt your up first."
Matthew walks up to the starting line and takes his broadsword and waits.
"RELEASE THE PIG!" Amanda yells.
A stage hand releases the pig and it comes at Matthew fast. When it is in range, Matthew swung his broadsword and cut the pig in half with it. Without wasting time, Matthew then moved to the first leather hide clad dummy and slashed it across the stomach. The leather armor didn't stand a chance as blood came of the wound. Matthew then took his broadsword and jammed it into the chest, again the leather didn't hold and the sword went straight into the heart. After ripping the broadsword out, Matthew allowed Dr. Ronald to check the damage.
"The pig is cut straight in half, so it's dead as a door nail," Dr. Ronald said.
He then walks over to the dummies to check them.
"The first dummy, if was a real man would watch his own guts spill out and then die," Dr. Ronald said, "Then the second, would die almost instantly with the heart shot."
Hakim walked up to the group, arms crossed and shaking his head.
"While the broadsword is a decent weapon, the Akkadian relies on speed and agility," Hakim said, "He will see this sword coming a mile away and dodge it with easy."
"I can care less about speed," Matthew retorted, "Once the Hylian Knight gets that one opening, the Akkadian's armor will not hold up and he's dead."
After the exchange of words and the dummies and pigs were replaced, It was Hakim's turn to run the test. He takes his scimitar and stands at the starting line.
"RELEASE THE PIG," Amanda yelled.
The Stage hand released the big and it came careening towards Hakim. When it was in range, Hakim took a one handed swing at the pig. With surprising strength, Hakim managed to nearly slash the pig in half. He then stepped up to the first gel dummy and slashes it in the chest. However, the chainmail held against the scimitar. Not deterred, Hakim goes to the second armored dummy, kicks it to the ground, dose a few neat twirls with it and plunges it into the dummy's chest. After pulling his sword out, Dr. Ronald came in to check the damage.
"From I can see, this pig is just barely hanging on, this is a kill," Dr. Ronald said.
He then took a look at the two dummies.
"The first one doesn't even have a scratch on him, meaning he lived to continue fighting," Dr. Ronald said, "The second one on the other hand got stabbed in the heart, meaning death."
Matthew was looking at the dummy that survived and then looked at Hakim.
"You see that, that one Hyilan Knight survived and would have cleaved your warrior in half,"
The Hylian Knight's Broadsword or the Akkadian Warrior's Scimitar, which deadly blade gives it's warrior the edge?
"The Scimitar will get kills in the simulation," Jesse said, "But the Broadsword manged to not only cut a pig in half, but went through the armor of the Akkadian Warrior, so it gets the edge."
In short range weapons, EDGE: Hylian Knight
For our next series of tests, we'll examine the the warriors mid range weapons, polearms. The Hylian Knight will brings in:
The Hylian Halberd, a deadly thursting, hooking and slashing polearm.
(Show a Hylian Knight thrusting the spear part of a halberd into a horse-mounted enemy.)
"The Halberd was three weapons in one," Danny said, "There's a axe part for slashing, a spear part for thrusting and a pike end you can use to either hook and opponents weapon and disarm him or puncture him with it."
(The scene changes back to the fight club, the group is assembled by gel dummy. Matthew is armed with his halberd.)
"Alright Matt, Here's the test," Amanda said, "We have this gel dummy with Akkadian leather armor, we want you to do three strikes, one with axe end, one with the spear and one with the pike end."
"Glad too." Matthew grinned.
Matthew got into position in front of the armored dummy, his halberd ready to strike.
"GO!" Amanda yelled.
With a warcry, Matthew raised his Halberd and made a vertical slash, cutting through the armor with ease and creating a huge gash into dummy. He then took the spear end and jammed it into the dummy's heart. After pulling the spear end, Matthew then took the pike end and came down on the head, burying it into the skull. Matthew got the halberd out of dummy and allowed Dr. Ronald to check the damage.
"Wow, you killed this man three times over," Dr. Ronald said, "The first strike would make him bleed out, the stab would kill him instantly, and the pike end reach the part of the brain that governs important life functions, which means he's instantly dead."
"The halberd is a good weapon, but it's slow and the Akkadian will dodge it effortlessly," Hakim said, "The weapon I come in with is simple but very deadly."
The Akkadian Warrior retaliates with:
The Akkadian Barbed Spear, a wicked spear that goes in smooth, but tears anything that comes out.
(Shows a Akkadian Warrior stab a enemy with his spear and then removing it, tearing out some of his enemy's guts.)
"The Akkadian spear is just like the Zande Warrior makrigga, it a seven foot spear," Danny said, "It has a rounded tip and narrowed blade, making it easy to go in, but its barbs are pointed backwards, this makes tear out anything it's in."
(The scene changes back to the fight club, the group is assembled by a big slab of meat covered in chainmail. Hakim is carrying the spear.)
"OK Hakim, here's what we want you to do," Amanda said, "We have a two hundred pound side of beef, we want to try and penetrate the armor and see the damage the spear can do to flesh."
"Not a problem," Hakim said confidently.
Hakim, armed with his barbed spear, gets into position in front of the armored clad side of beef and waits.
"GO!" Amanda yelled.
With a roar, Hakim takes the spear and thrusts it with both hands. The spear goes straight through the chainmail and into the flesh. Hakim violently jerks the spear around to cause more damage. After that, he tries to get the spear out but the spear is lodged in due the barbs. After a few moments, he managed to get it out and stepped aside to let Dr. Ronald to check the damage.
"Wow this is insane," Dr. Ronald said in awe, "This would be a bad way to die, with your guts just being ripped out of you."
"Very nice show, but that weapon is only made for offense," Matthew said, "The halberd has three options for offense and the pike end and be used to hook a opponents weapon and disarm him."
"That's not likely to weapon, a Akkadian is to quick for that weapon to do damage and he will run right through you with the weapon," Hakim countered.
The Hylian Knight's Halberd or the Akkadian Warrior's Barbed Spear, what weapon gives their warrior the edge in mid range?
"That barbed spear is wicked and will get kills in the simulation," Jesse said, "But Matthew is right, the halberd is more versatile with three options to kill and defense with the pike end."
In Mid Range Weapons, EDGE: Hylian Knight.
Now we look at our warriors long range weapons, throwing weapons. The Hylian Knight comes in with:
The Hylian Soliferrum, a heavy javelin that can pierce a enemy with deadly results.
(Shows a Hylian Knight throw a soliferrum at a renegade Zora, which pierce his chest and killing him.)
"This weapon is just like the weapon used by Hannibal, the reason we call it a soliferrum is because we don't know the Hylian name for it," Danny said, "Its a six foot, five pound javelin that was thrown in volleys at armies to disorganized them so the Knights and the regular army could close in for close quarters combat."
(Shows the group outside with gel dummies. Matthew is armed with a couple of soliferrum.)
"OK, we have a few gel dummies for you to throw your soliferrums at," Amanda said.
Matthew simply nodded and walked up to the starting line, he takes one soliferrum in his right hand and prepare to throw.
"GO!" Amanda yelled.
Matthew throws the first soliferrum at the first target. It enters into the dummy's chest, and blood flowed through the wound. Taking another soliferrum, Matthew threw another one at his second target. This one went into the dummy's chest, where the heart is. Taking his last soliferrum, Matthew threw it and it imbedded itself in the dummy's right shoulder. After that, Dr. Ronald came in to check the damage.
"The first wound isn't a instant kill, but he's bleeding out and would die if not given proper medical treatment," Dr. Ronald said, "The second went straight through the heart, he's dead instantly."
Dr. Ronald walked up to the last dummy.
"This one, it entered the shoulder blade, it would disable his right arm but he live," Dr. Ronald finished.
"So we have one definite kill, one maybe kill, and one man who can't use his one arm but could just use his other arm to arm himself and kill you," Hakim said.
"I admit that this weapon isn't meant to throw at one opponent," Matthew said, "But once this hits, it will do damage."
"But I have a weapon that is small, light, can be concealed, and you can carry dozens of them," Hakims said.
The Akkadian Warrior's preferred long range weapon is:
Throwing Spikes, Small, sharp and very deadly.
(Shows a Akkadian Warrior running at his opponent, throwing it at him as he turns around and imbeds itself in the opponents throat, killing him.)
"The throwing spikes are as their names imply, small spikes meant to be thrown at a opponent," Danny said as he hold one up, "They're made from steel and are nine inches long and about one ounce in weight."
(Shows the group outside again, the dummies have been replaced with new ones. Hakim is armed with a dozen throwing spikes.)
"OK, we've reset the test, so lets test out these spikes," Amanda said.
Hakim walked over to the starting line and took a throwing spike in hand and waited.
"GO!" Amanda yelled.
Hakim throws two throwing spikes in quick secession, which imbedded themselves into the dummy's throat. Switching targets the next dummy got the same treatment as the first, two spikes in the throat. Looking at the last dummy, Hakim quickly threw two spikes at the head. The first one went wide but the other went four inches inside the dummy's eye. After the damage was done, Dr. Ronald came into check.
"The first two dummy's are dead from blood loss," Dr. Ronald said as the group walked to the last dummy, "Your first one missed, but this spike went in just far enough to kill this guy."
"I don't buy it, these things are just useless," Matthew said sternly, "Do you expect a Hylian Knight to just stand still and allow himself to get hit, and I damn well know that those things can't penetrate chainmail."
"True, these things can't pentrate chainmail," Hakim said, "Why do you think I aimed for the areas that don't have armor."
The Hylian Knight's Soliferrum or the Akkadian Warrior's Throwing Spikes, which throwing weapon gives its warrior the edge?
"The soliferrum has the killing power and it will be a good weapon," Jesse said, "But Hakim managed to get more kills and the spikes are lighter, concealable, and one can carry a lot of them."
In Long Range Weapons, EDGE: Akkadian Warrior.
For our last series of test, we test our warriors close range special weapons. The Hylian Knight comes in with:
The Hylian Burda Club, a simple but deadly club that bashes in skulls.
(Shows a Hylian Knight bash a bandit in the skull, putting him to the ground. The Kinght finishes the job by bashing him a few more times.)
"The Burda was a cheap alternative to a mace, and from what our historians say, it was give to lower rank knights," Danny said as he worked on the burda, "Its made from a wooden body with two iron bands warped around the top."
But the Akkadian Warrior comes in with his own deadly special weapon:
The Kama, a mini scythe that can do major damage.
(Shows the Akkadain Warrior hook a opponents weapon with the kama and disarm him. He then nimbly move behind his opponent and stabs him in the back of the neck, killing him.)
"The Kama is a miniature scythe that can be used in many ways," Danny said , "The under curve is sharp, so you can slash someone's throat, the point is sharp for stabbing and it can be thrown from a distance."
(Shows the group standing by two ballistic gel heads and necks. Both experts are armed with their respective warriors weapons.)
"OK guys, what we want you to do is take your weapons and use them to strike the gel heads and neck until you achieve a kill," Amanda said, "Matt, your up first."
Matthew walked up to the left gel skull with his burda in hand, he got into his striking stance and waited.
"GO!" Amanda yelled.
With a roar, Matthew swung the burda and it connected to the side of the skull. It left a noticeable depression on the skull. Matthew hit it again, and this time the skull began to crack. With one more brutal swing and when it connected, the wound busted wide open, brain matter flying out. After the damage was done, Dr. Ronald stepped in.
"This is a far gone conclusion," Dr. Ronald said, "If you see brain matter, your dead."
"Seeing as slow as he is with that weapon, the Akkadian Warrior will just dodge this thing effortlessly," Hakim said.
"You talk about speed and all that, but all the Hylian Knight need's is that one mistake in movement and he'll cave your skull in," Matthew said bluntly.
After the exchange of words, the test was reset for Hakim to use his kama. He took his weapon and readied himself.
"GO!" Amanda yelled.
Hakim sneaked up behind the dummy a slit its throat with the underside of the blade. He then stabbed it at the base of the skull, just above the spine. Hakim then stepped in front of the dummy head and stabbed it in the left eye. With the carnage done, Dr. Ronald came in to analyze the damage.
"I'm pretty sure you killed this man three times over," Dr. Ronald said, "He bleed out from the throat slit, you cut off his nervous system to the brain, and you stabbed him deep enough in the eye to reach brains."
The Hylian Knight's Burda or the Akkadian Warrior's Kama, which special weapon gives their warrior the edge?
"This goes to the Kama hands down, it took Matthew three blows to get a kill," Jesse said, "But Hakim managed to get three instant kill shots."
In Special Weapons, EDGE: Akkadian Warrior.
With our testing complete, we are one step closer to finding out who is the Deadliest Warrior.

Jesse hits the enter button to start the battle.
The Battle:
In a desert that transcends space and time, a Hylian Knight is riding on a white steed, approaching a oasis. He dismounts his horse, going up to the small pound to get a drink and fill up his canteen. He was armed with his usual armaments, a broadsword, halberd, burda, and two soliferrums. Elsewhere, in a bush not to far way from the knight, was a lone Akkadian Warrior was lying in wait for this knight, whom he was paid to kill. He was armed with a scimitar, barbed spear, kama, and a dozen throwing spikes.
The Akkadian Warrior began to move out of the bush slowly and took out a few throwing spikes. Suddenly he throw one of them at his target but the knight bent down to fill his canteen and the spike flew over his head. The spike hit his horse and let out a painful squeal. The knight look at it for a moment and turned his head to see the approaching warrior. The Akkadian throw another spike at his opponent, but the Hylian dodged it as well.
The knight took out a soliferrum and tossed it at the Akkadian, but it sailed over his head. Thought the Akkadian was closing in the distance, the Hylian threw his last soliferrum but the Akkdaian side stepped it. Both warriors pulled out their pole arms, a halberd and a barbed spear, and circled each other. The Akkadian tried to stab his opponent several times, but the Hylian manage to dodge the attempts. The knight tried to return the favor with a stab from the spear end but the Akkadian similarly dodge the attack.
The Akkadian tried another stab but the Hylian hooked the weapon with the pike end and disarmed his opponent. With a roar, the Hylian tried to kill the assassin with a overhand chop from the halberd's axe end, but the Akkadian warrior side stepped and the weapon wedge it's self in the ground. The Akkadian then threw out a kick and broke the handle, making the weapon useless. Now in close quarters with each other, the Akkadian pulls out his kama while the Hylian pulls out his burda club.
As the two circled each other again, the Hylian began to swing for the fences. The Akkadian gracefully managed to dodge every swing and returned a swing aimed at the Hylian's chest. However the chainmail held against the weapon, and the Hylian used his burda to knock the kama out of the Akkadian's hands. Now that his opponent was disarmed, the Hylian again tried to end the fight with a three swings of the burda. However the Akkadin dodged all three and three out another kick, this one connected to the Hylian knights chest.
The sudden blow knocked the knight down and made him drop his burda. The Hylian managed to get up quickly and the two warriors decided to get personal. They unsheathed the swords, the broadsword and the scimitar, respectively. The Hylian was first to strike, but the Akkadian blocked the blow. The two determined warriors trade blows, sparks were flying, and the two of them tried to waiting for a mistake.
Then the Akkadian managed to hit the Hylian with a slash to the side, but his chainmail again deflected most of the blow. The two again trade more blows. Suddenly the Hylian managed to swing low and caught the the Akkadian's right leg, severing it off. The Akkadian screamed in pain as he dropped to the ground. The Hylian stood over him and then drove his broadsword into the Akkadian warrior's chest.
The Akkadian spit up blood before he stopped moving. The Hylian Knight pulled his broadsword out, raises it in the air, and roars in victory.
OVERALL WINNER: HYLIAN KNIGHT
"This was a close match up, with the Hylian knight winning 2,530 battles to the Akkadian Warrior's 2,470 battles won." Jesse said.
The Hylian Knight's Broadsword and Halberd proved to be the deadliest weapons in the simulation
Hylian Knight Weapon's Effectiveness:
Hylian Broadsword-57%
Hylian Halberd-67%
Hylian Soliferrum-35%
Hylian Burda Club-45%
The Akkadian Warrior's throwing spikes and kama was his most effective weapons, but it was not enough to defeat the Hylian Knight.
Akkadian Warrior Weapons:
Scimitar-43%
Akkadian Barbed Spear-33%
Throwing Spike-65%
Kama-55%
"It really came down to the fact that while the Akkadian Warrior had speed and agility, he couldn't get through the chainmail of the Hylian Knight," Amanda said.
"The Akkadian Warrior is indeed a deadly warrior," Matthew said, "But when he face the Hylian Knight , he faced the Deadliest Warrior."
