Viking: Battle crazed berserker who terrorized Europe.

(Vikings are seen charging into a group of defenders, one has his head split by a dane axe.)

vs.

Celt: The notorious barbarian from 400 B.C. who dominated Europe with raw fighting spirit.

(Naked Celts are seen running into battle and their enemies fall to their various attacks.)

WHO IS DEADLIEST?

To find out, we've assembled a team of world class fighters to test history's most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when two warriors go toe to toe.

No rules. No safety. No mercy. It's a duel to the death to decide who is...THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!

Last time both warriors emerged victorious in a brutal hard fought battle...

(The Viking slits the Roman Centurion's throat with his longsword.)

...but now, what will happen when they are plucked from their respective time periods to face off against each other?

(The Celt is shown decapitating the gladiator's head with his longsword.)

Here in our elite fight club we have gathered doctors, medical scientists and weapons experts to test out the lethal arsenals wielded by each of our combatants to determine who would win a fight between two warriors who never met in a face to face duel:

Viking:

Circa: 1000 A.D.

Height: 5' 11"

Weight: 180 lbs.

Armor: Riveted Chainmail, Spectacled Steel Helmet

Celt

Circa: 400 B.C.

Height: 6'

Weight: 180 lbs.

Armor: Leather Belt, Hexagonal Iron-Rimmed Wooden Shield

"Today's back for blood is interesting, we have two barbaric type of warriors who both went against Roman warriors and won." Mack explains. "The Viking defeated the Roman centurion and the Celt defeated the gladiator."

"Yep, I can't wait to see who wins this fight. They are big and nearly the same height and weight." Dorian says.

"Well, let's get this episode started guys." Geoff said.

The Viking brings to battle an assortment of deadly weapons that made them the most feared plunderers of their day:

Short Range: Viking Long Sword

Mid-Range: Dane Axe

Long Range: Boar Spear

Special: Shield

In turn, the Celt brings an assortment of handcrafted weapons that would influence warfare for centuries to come on mainland Europe:

Short Range: Celtic Long Sword

Mid-Range: Lancea

Long Range: Sling

Special: Burda Club

For short range weapons, the viking and Celt relies on their respective longswords to spill their enemies blood.

The team reviews the testing of each longsword and decide which gets the edge.

"Hmmm this to me is a draw." Geoff says. "The Viking's sword has the metallurgy but the Celt's is slightly longer. They both do the same kind of trauma. Edge even."

"I agree, both warriors respective armors can be penetrated by each other's sword. Edge even." Dorian says.

"I'm with you guys on this one, edge evem." Mack concluded.

In short range weapons, our warriors are even.

Now we move on to the warrior's mid ranged arsenal when a heavy battle axe goes against a lethal spear.

Experts Casey Hendershot and Spencer Dinnean stood ready with their respective weapons.

"Alright guys, we will see what your weapons can do to each other's armor." Geoff says. "Go right ahead and attack."

And with that, Casey swings his dane axe sideways and into the Celt's leather belt. The blade punches through the leather just as Spencer thrusts his lancea at his target, punching through the chainmail spilling blood. Casey then does an overhead chop at the Celt's shield completely cracking the upper half as Spencer takes a few steps back and tosses the lancea at his target, the lancea punches cleanly and the blade protrudes from the other side.

"Wow, nice job boys." Dorian says walking over. "Casey, your swing to the belt punched through and for his intestines which will cause sepsis and an eventual kill. The swing to the shield cracked it with enough force to break this man's arm. Spencer, both your attacks hit the aorta with the first one and the left lung with the toss which both of the attacks will lead to a kill."

The panel has now seen what both weapons are capable of doing. Which gets the edge?

"This is a hard decision. Both weapons can kill each other instantly. One is heavier and hits harder, the other has less weight and can function as a missle. But in the end I have to give the edge to the dane axe because of how much trauma it inflicts on the body." Geoff said.

"I'm with you on this, the dane axe causes much worse trauma than the lancea even with its wavy pattern. Damn thing makes you look like you were ran over by a freaking train. Edge dane axe." Dorian says.

"And if the Celt doesn't make his toss count, he is in for quite a surprise if the axe hits him. Edge dane axe." Mack finished off.

In mid range weapons, the viking takes the edge with the dane axe.

Now its time for our panelists to review the testing of both long range weapons of our warriors. The viking's boar spear and the Celt's sling...oh god no please...

"I'm not even going to say anything. Edge boar spear." Geoff started off.

"Haha, a sling compared to the boar spear? Its obvious. Edge boar spear." Dorian said laughing.

"The sling has the range but the spear is effective at long and close. Edge spear." Mack concluded.

In a rather easy and one sided vote, the viking takes the edge with the boar spear...wow what a shocker huh?

Now we review the special weapons of the warriors. The viking shield against the burda club of the Celt.

Spencer walks up to a Viking shield with his burda in hand.

"Spencer, we will see if you can smash your way through the viking's shield, that's it basically. Ready?" Geoff asked.

"Good to go." Spencer replies.

With an over head swing, he hits the shield and leaves a moderate crack. He then holds the club above his head and brings it down with an even stronger swing managing to break a good portion of the shield leaving a piece dangling.

"Well, that's self explanatory." Geoff said.

"The readings suggest that one bone in his arm is broken."

The team then reviews the viking shield testing from 'Viking vs. Roman Centurion' and come to a decision.

"Burda club gets the edge. If your weapons is smashed to bits, well, what can I say?" Geoff starts off.

"Edge burda club." Dorian and Mack said in unison as they all nod.

In special weapons, the Celt takes the edge with the burda club.

Coming up, two barbaric and savage warriors go face to face to see who will achieve another victory!

XXXXXXX

"Alright, let's review the x-factors here." Mack said.

"For training, the Celt was rated an 82 to the Viking's 81."

"For physicality, both men have a 91, they are nearly identical in height and weight."

"For ferocity, the Celt has a 94 to the Viking's 89."

"For killer instinct, the Viking has a 100 to the Celt's 92."

"Finally, for intimidation, the Viking has a 95 to the Celt's 90."

Our scientists and weapons experts are done testing the results and the time has come to decide who will be the victor. To ensure the battle won't be decided by a single lucky blow, the battle will be simulated one thousand times in a duel to the death.

Who will achieve victory between two savage warriors?

"At the end of this day, one shall stand and one shall fall, let's find out." Mack said flipping the switch.

We are brought back to the quite forest in Northern Germany.

A Viking is seen walking through the area. Him and his fellow raiders have ventured up north after pillaging the Italian peninsula. Strapped to his side is the Centurion's gladius and dolabra from his earlier battle.

He continues walking forth until he approaches and enters a clearing. He squints at a hut in the middle of the clearing and is shocked to see a set of impaled heads in front of the hut. One of them is the gladiator's decayed head. He starts walking but stops when he sees a man exit out the front entrance. The Celt walked out with the gladiator's weapons and sets them down.

He gets up and turns to see the viking. He yells at the Scandinavian intruder and takes his sling out. He puts a rock in it and begins twirling it. After a few seconds, he releases the rock and it goes flying straight at the viking and hits his helmet. The viking grunts and recovers from the hit and takes two boar spears and charges with them.

He approaches the Celt and tosses his spears. The Celt jumps back to avoid the first one but the second ends up cutting his leg. He grimaces and picks up his longsword and shield and charges the Viking.

The viking takes his sword and shield as well and charges forth. They meet in the center of the clearing with a hard thud as their shields collide and the force knocks them backward. Both then slowly approach and assume their battle stances. The Celt would make the first move with a thrust but the viking blocks with his shield causing the Celt's sword to glance off its iron boss.

Seeing the Celt's glancing blow, the viking tries to chop the Celt's arm off but the Celtic warrior quickly brings his arm back and swings at the viking's helmet. The Celtic sword hits with enough force to stun the viking causing him to stumble over sideways.

The Celt takes the opportunity to thrust his sword into the viking's lower back. The viking yells out at the pain and uses his shield to bash the Celt's sword arm causing him to drop the sword and swing his own sword at the Celt's exposed arm cutting it.

The Celt shrugs it off and shield bashed the viking back making him stumble backwards.

The Celt then runs over to his hut to grab his lancea and burda. As he straps his burda he turns to see the viking charging into the hut with his shield held in front of him. The shield knocks the Celt against the wall and the viking attempts to stab his face. The Celt moves his head sideways and pushed the viking back.

They end up tossing each other back and forth against the inside of the hut and eventually they crash out the front entrance landing on the ground. The Celt grabs the viking's sword and tosses it away and draws his lancea. And thrusts it downward. The viking lifts his shield up but wavy blade punches through the shield and comes close to nicking his eye. He tosses the shield at the Celt and quickly gets up and draws his dane axe.

They slowly approach each other. The Celt thrusts his lancea but the viking jumps to the side and goes for an overhead chop to the Celt's face. The Celt quickly reacts by dropping his lancea and does a rolling dodge which puts him behind the viking.

He draws his burda club and swings at the viking's side causing the viking to scream in pain. He then hits him again on the helmet severely dazing him. The viking gets up and punches the Celt in the face making him fall backwards onto his back. The Scandinavian makes a run for it to where his sword was thrown. The Celt gets up and hurls his lancea at the Viking. The spear gets his arm and he falls forward.

The Celt runs over and stands over the viking.

He raises his burda high to smash the viking's spine, as he brings it down, the viking swings with his sword and cuts off both the Celt's hands at the wrist.

The viking had managed to get to where his sword was. The Celt looks and screams at his stumps and the viking thrusts his sword through the Celt's belt going through his stomach and out the back.

Withdrawing his sword, the Viking puts his hands on the Celt's shoulders and forces him down onto his knees. The Celt falls onto his knees and looks up at the Viking who grabs his adversary by his wild hair, looks into his eyes, rears his arm back, and swings decapitating the Celt.

The Viking lifts the head into the air and yells in his victory.

Winner: Viking

Viking: 533

Viking Longsword: 186

Dane Axe: 252

Boar Spear: 16

Shield: 79

Celt: 467

Celtic Longsword: 203

Lancea: 178

Sling: 1

Burda Club: 85

In a very gory and violent back and forth battle, the Viking manages to achieve his second victory. The Celt was a very difficult opponent. The Viking's dane axe being the main weapon of slaughter in the simulations. The Celt's most damaging weapon was his longsword scoring over 200 kills.

"Wow, what a great fight!" Geoff says. "The Celt did his best but the Viking ultimately wins due to his more superior armor and metallurgy in his weapons coupled with his superior long range weapon. The Celt did what he could but today, he loses."

(The Viking is seen walking out of the Celt's hut. He had taken all the gladiator's weapons to replace his. He picks up a pike and walks to the forest entrance. He puts it in the ground and sticks the Celt's head on it as an insult. He spits into its face and limps away.)
