Aztec Jaguar: Swift moving slayer of the ancient Mexican empire.
(A jaguar is seen impaling an enemy with his atlatl.)
vs.
Hashashin: The fiercely loyal killer noted for his daring daylight assassinations.
(A hashashin disguised as a monk creeps up on his target in a busy marketplace and discreetly stabs him in the back with his poisoned khanjar before disappearing back into the crowd.)
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!
During their last battles both warriors were soundly defeated by their respective opponents...
(The Aztec jaguar is seen attempting to crawl away from the Roman legionary only to have the falx swung into his stomach spilling his innards.)
...but now, each warrior will be given a chance for redemption and will face off in a one-on-one confrontation.
(The hashashin is stabbed in the chest by the Germanic ghost warrior's langseax and then is decapitated.)
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:
Aztec Jaguar
Circa: 1500 A.D.
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 140 lbs.
Armor: Wooden Helmet. Ichcahuipilli (Quilted Armor), Chimalli Shield, Jaguar Skin
Hashashin
Circa: 1080 A.D.
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 140 lbs.
Armor: None
"Here we have it, redemption match four between two of season one's quickest and agile warriors." Mack started off.
"These two warriors were actually very similar in their ways of approaching combat. Both ambushed their enemies but the Jaguar mainly captured prisoners." Geoff says.
"That would be a small problem when confronting a hashashin but then again, the hashashin is mainly for assassinations while the jaguar is better at direct combat, but the hashashin has superior steel weapons and that is enough of an advantage over the jaguar." Dorian concluded.
The Aztec Jaguar came equipped with an arsenal good for all ranges:
Short Range: Huitzauhqui
Mid-Range: Tepoztopilli
Long Range: Atlatl & Tlacochtli
Special: Tecpatl
Likewise, the hashashin comes equipped with a light, yet deadly arsenal aimed for intimidating and eliminating their targets:
Short Range: Saif
Mid Range: Sappara
Long Range: Throwing Knives
Special: Khanjar
For short range weapons, both warriors took their foes down with very different yet lethal weapons. The Aztec huitzuahqui and hashashin saif.
The team now review the footage of each weapon in action from their respective first matches and a conclusion is yet to be made.
"I'm sure the saif can slice it's way through all the jaguar's defenses, it's steel god dammit. Edge saif." Geoff said.
"I disagree and go with the huitzauhqui, even if the obsidian breaks off, it's still gonna damage you to the point where you can't use a limb and the hashashin has no armor. Edge huitzuahqui." Dorian counters
The tie breaker fell down to Mack.
"Sorry doc, the saif's superior metallurgy just gives it the edge automatically."
In short range weapons, the hashashin takes the edge with the saif.
For mid-range weapons, both warriors utilized their own unique weapons to bring their foes down. The Aztec tepoztopilli and hashashin's sappara.
The team now reviews the footage of both weapons in action, after a quick debate an edge is given.
"Hmmmm, this could be even but then again the steel weapons has my edge for the same reasons as the saif. Edge sappara." Mack started off.
"For me, I think it depends on the distance. Farther away the tepoztopilli has it, up close the sappara destroys the jaguar. It's even." Dorian said.
"I actually agree with you doc, it's all about the distance between the two weapons. Even." Geoff finished.
In mid-range weapons, our warriors are even.
Now we move on to long range and both warriors used deadly projectiles to dispatch their enemies. The Aztec atlatl & tlacochtli and hashashin throwing knives.
The team now reviews the testing of both weapons in their previous matches and come to an easy conclusion.
"I'm giving the edge to the atlatl & tlacochtli for superior range." Geoff started off.
"Both weapons due require lots of strength to fling them but the atlatl & tlacochtli has a massive range advantage over the knives. Edge atlatl & tlacochtli." Dorian said.
"You guys took the words out of my mouth. Edge atlatl & tlachochtli." Mack sums up.
In long range weapons, the Aztec jaguar takes the edge with his atlatl & tlachochtli.

Now the time has come to review both warrior's special weapons. The Aztec tecpatl and hashashin khanjar.
The team now reviews the tapes of both weapons in action an come to an easy conclusion.
"I'm giving the edge to the khanjar, superior metals and added one to punch with the poison." Geoff started off
"Even with the tecpatl getting shards of obsidian in the body, it's too fragile for my liking. Edge khanjar." Dorian seconded
"Fragility also plays against it, edge khanjar." Mack finished
In special weapons, the hashashin takes the edge with the khanjar.
Coming up, two defeated warriors are resurrected for one final battle, but only one of them will have a chance at redemption and the right to be called 'The Deadliest Warrior.'

"Alright, let's review the x-factors here as always." Mack said.
"For training, the hashashin was rated an 88 to the jaguar's 81."
"For ferocity, the hashashin was rated an 89 to the jaguar's 88."
"For physicality, the jaguar has a 92 to the hashashin's 77."
"For endurance, the hashashin and jaguar will both be rated evenly with an 87 each due to being in warm environments."
"Lastly we have killer instinct. The hashashin was willing to give his life to take his target down, the jaguar took prisoners mostly. The hashashin was rated a 97 to the jaguar's 80."
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 win between two quick and agile warriors?
"In the end, there can only be one. Let's find out." Mack said flipping the switch.

A lone Aztec Jaguar is seen walking through the warm humid forests of central Mexico. He is out looking for more prisoners to capture for his empire and won't return home without one.
Unknown to him however, he has a visitor. A lone hashashin has been stalking him for a while. The hashashin was ordered to assassinate the jaguar for his leader and is ready to act. He creeps through the treetops and draws his khanjar. The jaguar goes to sit on a log to rest and suddenly hears rustling from above.
He jumps up and draws his huitzuahqui and searches the tree tops. He quickly jogs not able to shake the feeling that he had company. The hashishin pursues his target. The jaguar stops and runs behind a tree and peeks out from behind it. He continues scanning the surrounding area he hears a twig snap from behind him and turns around only to see a throwing knife flying right at his face.
Reacting quickly he lifts his chimalli shield just in time to avoid it getting in his eye. He lowers his shield to pull it out when he feels a liquid drop onto his arm. He looks at it when he hears rustling and looks up to see the hashashin leaping down to him. He rolls aside and gets up while drawing his huitzuahqui and looks at his foe.
The hashashin gets up from his landing and draws his saif and hold it protectively in front of him. Both warriors then circle each other waiting for the other to make a move. The jaguar would go first with a swing directed at the hashashin's head but he ducks beneath it and swings his saif aimed at the jaguar's chest. The jaguar moved his body back but the saif had slightly sliced through his cotton tunic but did not cut him. He shoves the hashashin away with his chimalli and makes a run for the treetops.
The hashashin recovers from the shove and looks to see nothing. He cautiously observes the surroundings for signs of his foe and decides to climb onto the treetops to search for him. He scans the surrounding area from the tree top when he sees a spear like object nearly skewer him. He looks at where it came from and sees another tlachochtli flying his way. He jumps off the tree and lands on the ground with a hard thud.
He gets up only to have another tlachochtli fly at him, he did not see this one coming and the projectile hits him in his upper thigh. He grunts in pain and goes to pull it out only to meet unbearable pain from the obsidian shards breaking off the spear head and into his body. He yanks out the spear and notices some leaves falling and looks up to see the jaguar leaping down on him with his tecpatl drawn.
The hashashin jumps aside and draws his saif and begins swinging wildly at the jaguar who in turn takes his tepoztopilli and thrusts it outwards. The hashashin just barely dodged the strange weapon and receive on a scratch from it and he back hands the Aztec warrior to the ground. The hashashin then brings his saif down to cut the jaguar's neck but he reacts by taking his tecpatl and stabbing the hashashin in his calf.
The Arabian warrior shouts in pain and falls over clutching his wound and looks up to see the jaguar standing over him with tecpatl raised above his head. The hashashin takes his khanjar and slices the Aztec's shin making him stumble backwards in pain. The hashashin gets up and draws his sappara ready to face his foe. The jaguar recovers and picks up his tepoztopilli and runs with it pointed outward at the Arabian warrior who tolls around it and brings the sappara down and cuts the tepoztopilli's shafts in half breaking it.
With his weapon rendered useless, the jaguar runs over to a nearby tree he stashed his huitzuahqui and picks it up. The hashashin runs after him and runs to look behind the tree the jaguar had just ran to only to have the jaguar swing his huitzuahqui at him to which the hashashin quickly brings his sappara up to intercept the blow.
The force of the hit knocked the sappara right out of the hashashin's hand leaving him open for a swing directed at his forearm and the sword club slices into it. The hashashin screams in pain and struggles to pull the weapon away from the jaguar.
The jaguar had more leverage and pushes it outward bonking the hashashin in his chest making him stumble backwards. With his foe on the ground, the jaguar moved to finish him but he then starts coughing violently and his weapon felt much heavier.
He proceeds to swing the sword club downward anyway but the swing was very weak. The hashashin realizes what is going on and gets up to retrieve his sappara despite all the pain from the obsidian in his wounds.
He picks up his weapon and looks over at the jaguar who weakly walks over to him ready to swing his his huitzuahqui but again, his swing is very weak.
The Arabian then walks over to his poisoned foe and with his good arm, catches his opponent's arm stopping another weak swing and yanks the huitzuahqui away and tosses it aside. He removes the jaguar's helmet and puts him on his knees, the jaguar begins coughing even more violently and looks up despite his blurry vision at the Arabian.
The hashashin looks into the jaguar's eyes and raises his sappara high, then beings it downward cutting the jaguar's head in half vertically in a bloody mess. With his foe dead, the hashashin leaves the corpse behind and hops into the tree tops in swift silent victory.

Following an exhausting battle between two of our quickest and agile warriors. The hashashin managed to achieve victory. His superior steel arsenal allowed him to defeat the jaguar. The jaguar however had the most lethal weapon on the simulations with his huitzuahqui scoring 200 kills.
"This was a very hard battle to call given the fighting styles of both warriors and how they approached combat, but the hashashin had steel weaponry in comparison to the jaguar's obsidian weapons, even if they caused more damage when they break, they were not able to last out in battle with the hashashin's steel weapons coupled with his one two punch with his poisoned khanjar is what sealed his victory." Geoff explained
(The hashashin is seen resting on a treetop looking down as more jaguar's run over to the corpse of their defeated fellow. The hashashin then sneaks away from the area, another target killed for his leader.)
