Season Two Begins!

I'd like to thank Metal Harbinger, Dr. MKDemigodZ, Harbingers of NEVEC and DeadAliveManiac for being there throughout season one for me. They have helped me by providing necessary information for my matches and I hope Season two goes well. On with the story!

XXXXXXX

Gurkha: The fearless mountain assassins who take on the British Empire's most dangerous missions.

(A group of Gurkhas are shown ambushing and gunning down a group of Imperial Japanese soldiers passing along a jungle path.)

vs.

Waffen SS: Fanatical shock troops who led Hitler's evil charge for world domination.

(A squad of SS agents are seen gunning down helpless locals in a ghetto in Warsaw, Poland.)

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 head to head.

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

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

Gurkha

Circa: 1944

Height: 5' 3"

Weight: 135 lbs.

Allegiance: Great Britain

Waffen SS

Circa: 1944

Height: 6'

Weight: 175 lbs

Allegiance: Adolf Hitler

"It's so good to be back!" Geoff says as he, Mack and Dorian walk through the front entrance of the fight club.

They walk over to the computers, turn them on and set the simulator up.

"Season two begins boys and we couldn't have asked for such a good start to it. This is another battle fans of our fanfics and TV series have always wanted to see." Mack starts off. "The Gurkha's of Nepal take on the Waffen SS of the Nazi regime. Both warriors fanatically dedicated to their respective causes and this will be quite a fight to see!"

"Well I'm siding with the Waffen SS." Biomedical engineer Geoff Desmoulin says. "They were the cruelest of the cruel and if you view your enemies as nothing more than dogs and lower life forms, that alone gives you my edge."

"Then I''m siding with the Gurkhas." Trauma doctor Armand Dorian says. "While they may look little in the outside, they are big on the inside. They are better warriors and will definitely take the SS down."

The Gurkhas first gained fame during the Gurkha War of 1814 when the British East India Company attempted to invade Nepal and failed thanks to their unorthodox tactics and fearless nature.

"They are famous for their unquestionable loyalty, ambition ferocity and resolve," Mack had explained, "They were truly unlike anything the British had ever encountered. They were so impressed by their combat skills and bravery they began hiring the Gurkhas to fight for them."

Ever since the Gurkhas have fought in every major conflict the British Empire has been involved in and their regiments are still in existence to this day, but it was at World War II they reached the height of their fame.

"Defeat is not a word in their vocabulary. They are naturally warlike and aggressive in battle and above all, they have no fear of dying in battle, that alone makes them a force to be feared. The Waffen SS better be on their guard." Mack finished.

The Gurkhas bring to battle an assortment of traditional weapons mixed with the advanced technology of the British Army:

Melee: Kukri

Short Range: Webley Revolver

Mid Range: Lee Enfield No.4

Long Range: Bren Light Machine gun

Explosive: Mills Bomb

But today, they will be going up against an equally ruthless adversary from the same war just as fanatically dedicated to their cause.

The Schutzstaffel, usually abbreviated to SS, were a major Nazi organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. It grew from a small paramilitary force to a force that, fielding almost a million men both on the front lines and as political police, exerted almost as much political influence in the Third Reich as the Wehrmacht, Germany's regular armed forces.

"Built upon the Nazi ideology, the SS, under Heinrich Himmler's command, was responsible for many of the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Nazis during World War II and were useful in crushing a Jewish ghetto rebellion in Warsaw, Poland. Indeed the Gurkhas be fighting a strong new opponent." Mack concludes.

The fanatical shock troops came equipped with the best weaponry the German factories could produce.

Melee: S.S. Dagger

Short Range: Mauser c96

Mid Range: Karabiner 98k

Long Range: FG-42

Explosive: Bouncing Betty

Both soldiers came equipped with two knives of very different designs. The Gurkha's kukri and S.S. Dagger.

"The kukri has a heavy, forward-curved blade with a single cutting edge and a circular notch near its handle, similar in design to the Iberian falcata and the Greek kopis. The small notch in the lower part of the blade is designed to keep dripping blood from reaching the handle and making the user's hand slippery," Dave Baker explained, "It was primarily used for chopping and is also serves as a multi-use tool similar to a machete. It was typically 18 inches in length and weighed anywhere between 1 and 2 pounds."

Gurkha expert Rastra Rai is given a kukri and was in the midst of polishing it when the crew walked up to him.

Rastra and the panel walk over to a World War 2 foxhole. Rastra will be taking out three targets. One which will simulate a sleeping opponent and the two bovine targets will represent guards.

"Alright Rastra, whenever you're ready you may begin." Geoff said

"AYO GURKHALI!" Rastra yells and he charges at his targets and approaches the first bovine slab and slashes deep into its side before twirling around and slicing the other in the same manner. The foam torso pops up and Rastra quickly goes to bring the kukri down on the crown of the skull before swinging it at the neck.

Doctor Dorian walks over to inspect the damage. "Excellent work Rai, the two bovine torsos have deep slashes in them which would be enough to kill them because you also slice through their ribs. The foam torso, the overhead strike cut the brain and his head literally in half and that slice to the neck would be a legit decapitation if the metal rod wasn't here."

"And you managed to score both kills with a strike force of 59 mph," Geoff reported as he reviewed the high speed footage.

"Very impressive," Mack finished.

"And what do you bring to the table?" Geoff asked looking over to Waffen SS expert Silvio Wolf Busch

"I bring this." He unsheathes his blade ""The S.S. Dagger was a double-edged steel blade carried by Hitler's most trusted associates as a last resort in battle. On the blade you can see the motto engraved, which translates in English to 'My honor is loyalty,' including the eagle and swastika designs. It was 13 inches long and weighed 11 ounces Silvio explained.

Silvio stands before the same foxhole as Rastra.

"Alright Silvio, on 3...2...1...Attack!" Geoff yells

Silvio jumps over the sandbags and punches the first bovine slab making it fall off its stand and grabs the second one and proceeds to stab it 3 times in the midsection, twists the blade and turns to face the second slab. He bends down to stab it 5 times before the foam target pops up. He turns to it and brings the dagger down to stab it in the crown of the skull before moving on to violently stabbing it multiple times in its chest before picking it up and tossing it aside. "DONE!"

That'll do," Geoff explained before looking down to the meter, "38 mph."

Dr. Dorian made his way around the glass partition to assess the damage, "Your first target was stabbed in the gut and with the combined twisting, you will inflict a kill, won't be instant, but will cause heavy bleeding before he finally gives up the ghost.

He then made his way over to the second target, "I noticed right away your first two strikes while they penetrated your target, the blows are shallower and will not kill immediately and it isn't until your later strikes where you finally deliver the blows that will kill. You seemed too distracted by your first target to put the necessary commitment behind your strikes that will give you that needed kill.

"Lastly, for the foam target, all those stabs combined will kill him quickly and this is the definition of a Lover's scorn injury."

"Commitment is a vital factor when going after a target. You were torn between two targets and with such hasty reaction times, you were quick yes, but you didn't put the necessary force behind your stabs, thus resulting in the shallow, wounding blows," Mack explained.

"Us Gurkhas are committed to killing our enemies, our blade is longer, I can slash and stab and it kills instantly." Rastra spoke up

Both weapons delivered their needed kills, but where do our panelists stand?

"The kukri takes my edge because it is longer and capable of getting that instant kill compared to the S.S. dagger. Edge kukri." Geoff started

""I agree with you there," Mack followed, "That forward curve will allow their blade to reach in areas that most blades wouldn't within the first slash, in addition to deeper trauma. My edge goes to the kukri."

"With the kukri you can slash and get an instant kill and you can thirst and get an instant kill. I'm not convinced the S.S. dagger is going to kill every time it hits the placement has to be perfect. So edge kukri." Dorian finished

In melee weapons, the edge goes to the Gurkhas and their kukri knife.

Coming up, both warriors go for their sidearms in a battle of short range firepower and then later, we will see what happens when fierce mountain mercenaries goes up against fanatical shock troops.

XXXXXXX

The time has come for both sides to break out their short ranged arsenal and both bring effective guns that can get the job done when needed.

"So Silvio, what do you have for us today." Mack asked

"For my sidearm I bring the Mauser C-96, also known as 'the broom handle' from the shape of its grip. It used 7.63x25mm Mauser rounds in a 20 round box magazine, had an effective range of 200 yards and could switch back and forth between semi-automatic and fully automatic."

Mack turns to face Rastra

"I bring in the Webley Revolver," Rastra said raising his sidearm, "This was the standard issue service revolver of the armed forces for the United Kingdom, British Empire and the Commonwealth of Nations for nearly 80 years. It's a double-action revolver that weighs a little over 2 pounds, uses .38 caliber rounds, has a rate of fire between 20 and 30 rounds per minute and has a 6 round cylinder feed system, not as much but still gets the job done."

"Well we're going to find out," Geoff said motioning towards where their latest test had been set up, "We've set up a test to determine the stopping power of each weapon. Your target is a synthetic skull set up in front of a tank filled with ballistic gel," he said gesturing towards the aforementioned skull and the tank behind it, "You get one shot each. Make it count. Silvio, you're first."

Silvio nodded and took his position in front of the skull.

"On 3…2…1, fire!" Geoff shouted.

Silvio squeezed the trigger, firing a round that struck his target right between the eyes.

"We've got an instant kill," Dr. Dorian said poking around the jagged hole left in the synthetic surface before going around to observe the bullet's travel pattern in the ballistic gel.

"Okay Rastra, return fire." Geoff said

Rastra walk up to a new skull that was just placed and aim his weapon. He squeezed the trigger, sending a round through the open cavity where a human's nose would have been, his bullet exploding through the back and tearing into the ballistic gel.

"Wow, you've created a serious nightmare for anybody," Dr. Dorian said observing the hole where the bullet entered, "You would have severed the brain stem with this shot…there just really is nothing else to say," he said before rounding the skull setup to observe the ballistic gel, "and your bullet traveled further than the Mauser's."

But this is only the first test we've set up," Geoff said motioning towards another range, where five bottles surround a synthetic skull have been set up in a triangular formation. We're going to test the accuracy of both weapons and Rastra you're first now."

Rastra nodded and got into position. "On 3...2...1...Fire!" Geoff yells

Rastra aims his gun and fires at the first bottle shattering it and spraying stage blood everywhere before firing at the second but misses this shot and reaims. He fires this time hitting it and when he aims at the third one, he fires twice and misses before hitting it with his last shot and reloads.

"That's about 7 seconds of reload." Geoff commented

Rastra completes his reload and takes aim at the remaining two bottles. He hits both with perfect aim and aims at the torso and fires his last 4 shots into it.

Doctor Dorian walks over "With our static target, your first round would be shattering this man's orbital bone and would pulverize an actual human eye. That is an instant kill," the doctor reported before inspecting the other wounds, "Your last three rounds would be penetrating the man's lung and heart respectively, those are both kills, the heart shot being instant."

Silvio, you're gonna have your work cut out for you," Geoff stated.

"Always up for the challenge," Silvio replied smiling at Rastra before getting into place.

"Alright Silvio on 3…2…1, open fire!" Geoff called out.

Silvio aims his Mauser at the first bottle and fires it and shatters it. He quickly skims through all the bottles hitting them with precise aim and when he has only the torso left, he switched to fully auto and sprays the target down in a mist of blood.

"Holy farm animals, he turned them to scrap!" Mack exclaims

The panelists walk over to examine the carnage "Can we say surgical precision?" the doctor said investigating the bullet groupings left by the Mauser, "You tore through these guys in rapid fashion and with the way you did it, these are diagonal lines that go through all these mens' vital organs."

"Keep in mind, the 7.63x25mm Mauser was considered the most powerful round until the invention of the .357 round, that's how much trauma we're talking about here," Silvio pointed out.

Both sidearms have shown their damage capabilities, which gets the edge?

"The Webley has stopping power on its side but it has only six rounds which means constant reloading and the recoil force means trouble follow up shots. Edge Mauser." Mack started

"The Mauser has less recoil, more accurate and larger magazine size. It gets the edge." Geoff seconded

"Not to mention fully auto fire. Edge Mauser c96." Dorian finished

In short range weapons, the Waffen SS take it with their Mauser c96.

Coming up, both squads bring out their bolt action rifles and later, two renowned light machine guns shoot it out and later we have out battle of World War 2's most dedicated soldiers!

XXXXXXX

Both teams now bring out their mid-range arsenal with their bolt action rifles. The Gurkhas Lee Enfield No.4 and SS Karabiner 98k.

Rastra walks up and presents his rifle. "The Lee Enfield No.4, fires the .303 British round, weighs 8.8 lbs, has a maximum effective range of 3000 yards with a muzzle velocity of 2,441 fps and uses 10 round clips."

Geoff turns to face Silvio "And what do you bring for us Silvio?"

Silvio presents his rifle "I bring the Karabiner 98k. Fires the 7.92x57mm Mauser, weighs 8.2 lbs, maximum effective range of 1,000 yards, muzzle velocity of 2,493 fps and uses a 5 round stripper clip."

"Well we've set up a test for your rifles where you are out on patrol and come into contact with the enemy," Geoff said motioning to a range where 3 moving targets were suspended from zip lines, "First you will fire 10 rounds at 3 moving targets 50 yards out, the average range of a typical World War II firefight. Once that is complete, you will crawl along the ground and fire 10 more rounds from a prone position at 2 static targets 35 yards downrange," he finished, motioning to the last two stationary targets.

"Well, let's do it," Rastra nodded and got into position.

"On 3…2…1, we have contact! Go!" Geoff shouted.

Rastra rushed forth and took a kneeling position behind a sandbag barrier, quickly squeezing the trigger. His first two shots missed, but his third shot connected with the dead center of his first target's chest. He continued firing away, his fourth shot missing, but his fifth managing to strike a second target in the throat and firing again to deliver another center mass shot to the chest of his third moving target. He continued firing away until he managed to score a few more hits and then knelt down to reload his rifle. With the Enfield reloaded, he crawled along the makeshift undergrowth on his belly until he got to the next spot and took a prone position.

His sights lined up, he squeezed the trigger and instantly caught the first static target in the dead center of its head and then another shot scoring a hit just below his second target's left eye. He squeezed the trigger again and again, missing a few shots, but scoring a few more vital hits before he expended his last bullet and called out "Done!"

"2:07 is the time it took you to complete this. Good job!" Geoff called back.

Dr. Dorian went over to investigate 3 targets now covered in fake blood, "This first guy, you've completely destroyed his sternum and this guy here, you've given him a literal tracheotomy. Altogether you managed to score instant kill shots that are going to drop all three of these men."

He then made his way over to the static targets, "With these two guys, your first two shots managed to score instant kills on both of them," he said motioning to the hole in the first target's forehead and the other beneath the second's left eye. Everything else is going to kill. Altogether you have five kills."

"Keeping close track of the high speed footage, you managed to score 13 hits out of 20 shots, very impressive showing," Geoff reported.

Now it was Silvio's turn. "On 3...2...1...we have contact! Go!"

Silvio rushed forward into a kneeling position and aims at the first target his first shot misses but his second connects with the target dead center in its chest. He fires away with his remaining shots connecting. After using up his first clip he proceeds to reload and inserts the next stripper clip into his rifle. He aims again and fires this clip with all his shots connecting and moves to crawl through the makeshift undergrowth until he makes it to the next spot.

Taking a prone position and lines up his sights and fires with this shot going straight through this target's nose with his follow up shot hitting it through the mouth. He expends his remaining shots and goes to reload again. As he finished, he empties the clip on the last targets catching them in their chests before yelling out "Done!"

"2:30 is your time, not as quick but just as good." Geoff yelled out

"Okay, for the first static target, you destroyed his sternum and that will send bone fragments into his heart killing him instantly and that second guy has his brains splattered all over the damn place. All three are dead."

"The dynamic targets all have rounds riddled in their chests with shots to the heart, stomach and lungs combined will kill them all and the last one has his nose and teeth obliterated literally. Again all dead."

"15 shots out of 20, not too shabby." Geoff commented

Both warriors have shown their excellent rifleman skills, but which one do our panelists believe has the edge?

"I would call this even but there are advantages and disadvantages to both. The Enfield has the faster reload while the Kar98 seems more accurate and has the higher muzzle velocity. In the end, the reload time of the Enfield is its biggest advantage. Edge Lee Enfield No.4" Geoff started

"I give a slight edge to the Karabiner 98k for its accuracy and muzzle velocity." Dorian said

"With the Karabiner, you have accuracy and stopping power, the Enfield leads in functionality. In the end I go with the Enfield for the 10 round clip." Mack concludes

In mid-range weapons, the Gurkhas take the edge with their Lee Enfield No.4.

Coming up, it's a battle of long range weapons when two iconic light machine guns shoot it out and later, Gurkha or Waffen SS? Only one will be Deadliest!

XXXXXXX

Now the time has come for two iconic light machine guns to shoot it out. The Gurkha Bren and Waffen SS FG-42.

Rastra and Silvio walk up to the panelists with their respective guns.

"What do you have for us today Rai?" Mack asked

"I bring the Bren light machine gun," Rastra said raising his weapon, "It was first introduced in the late 30's and served as the primary light machinegun for the British and Commonwealth forces during World War II, yet has been used as late as Operation Desert Storm. It had an effective range of 600 yards, a rate of fire at 500 rounds a minute, a 30 round capacity and it comes with a handle on the side so it can be fired from a standing position."

Mack turns to face Silvio

"And what do you bring Silvio?"

"I bring the FG-42 known as the "Paratrooper Rifle" it combines the power of an LMG with light frame of a Karabiner 98k. Has an effective range of 600 Meters, rate of fire at 900 rounds a minute and a 20 round detachable box magazine."

"Well we're going to find out once the test has concluded," Geoff said motioning behind them, "We've set up three entrenched enemies behind cover at 100, 50 and 25 yards, one hidden behind a degradable surface. This test is aimed at studying your volume of fire, ability to get through degradable surfaces, accuracy and maneuverability. All these targets are filled with the explosive Tannerite, so we will know when you have scored the instant kill shot and that will be your signal to move onto the next target. Silvio will be up first, so we need you to get into position."

Silvio nodded and knelt down behind some wooden crates.

"Silvio, are you ready?" Geoff asked.

"Ready to do some dirty work." Silvio said back.

"Alright, on 3…2…1, give 'em hell!" Geoff called out.

Silvio rose to his feet and let loose upon his first target, the foam torso exploding when the bullets finally found their vital strike.

Quickly pushing his way back to his feet, he rushed over and took cover behind a pair of oil drums and let loose on a target that had just its head and shoulder sticking out from behind a cinderblock wall. It took him some time, but he managed to eventually shoot the head off before taking out the rest of his clip on the wall, chipping away at the blocks and moving a few, but not managing to do much damage.

Reloading his next clip, he rushed over and took a position behind the shot up wall, taking aim and firing away until he connected with the last target's chest and caused the finishing explosion.

"Time!" Geoff called out before looking down to his stopwatch, "58 seconds!"

"No need to check those out, all instant kills." Dr. Dorian reported spying the mangled targets from a laptop. I saw that you managed to score several vital hits that could shred a man's internal organs," he reported as he reviewed the slow motion footage on a laptop.

"From what I also saw while watching you in action, you seemed to move pretty darn fast." Mack commented

"It's never a matter of the guns killing ability, for me it's about performance on the battlefield." Rastra Rai said

"Your turn Rastra." Dorian said

Rastra nodded and got into a prone position in a small clearing surrounded by camouflaging.

"Rastra, are you ready?" Geoff shouted.

"Yes Geoff!" Rastra yelled back

"On 3…2…1, shoot 'em up!" Geoff called.

Rastra squeezed the trigger, but almost instantly his gun jammed.

"That's not looking good," Mack whispered to Geoff and Dr. Dorian, while Silvio just looks on.

Fortunately for Rastra, it didn't take him long to clear the jam and he was back to firing, quickly hitting the first target in the dead center, blowing it to pieces.

With his first target dispatched, Rastra rushed over and took cover behind the oil drums, getting into a kneeling position and quickly blowing the second target's head to pieces. He didn't stop there as he let loose on the cinderblock wall just as the FG-42.

Ejecting his emptied clip, he quickly reloaded and dashed for cover behind the decimated wall, taking aim and firing away at the last target until it exploded.

"Time!" Geoff shouted and looked down to his stopwatch, "In spite of the jam, you managed to accomplish this in 53 seconds. Good job!"

"First and foremost, you had that jam up. Granted, you managed to clear it relatively fast, yet you always have to keep in mind that its malfunctions like that which can be a matter of life or death in the battlefield."

"Indeed, one of the purposes of this test was to see how well this gun would do at taking down degradable cover and you've torn this wall apart. If there's another man hiding behind here, you've killed him," Geoff explained.

"Overall, you've proven that in the hands of a capable operator, the Bren is capable of having effective and accurate fire," Mack finished.

Both weapons have proven their deadly potential, but where do our panelists stand?

"I wanted to call this even because of both being so effective at blowing through cover and dropping people quick, but the Bren has historical malfunction issues while the FG-42 is lighter and doesn't jam. Edge FG-42" Geoff started off

"I agree with you that there are inherent functionality issues that could cause the weapons system to go offline," Mack seconded. Also, look at this you guys. reviewing the slow motion footage on a laptop, "Right away I take notice of the wobbling sight and the magazine and I also noticed how when Rai held it close, he had to constantly adjust where his cheek rested as he took aim. My edge goes to the FG-42"

"I also noticed the recoil factor with the Bren," Dr. Dorian added, "That's going to hurt the user's shoulder and even if you're extremely well conditioned, you'll get tired eventually and the issues are always going to ruin you. Edge FG-42"

In long range weapons, the Waffen SS take the edge with their FG-42.

Coming up, things heat up when both sides pull out their signature explosives. Later on, we will see what happens when these two fearless soldiers go to war.

XXXXXXX

The time has come for both sides to dish out their explosives and we will see what happens when a prominent hand grenade goes up against a deadly anti-personnel fragmentation mine.

"Alright Rastra, what do you bring for us this time?" Geoff asked as Rastra walked up wearing a line of grenades strapped to his uniform.

"This is the Mills Bomb," he said unhooking one of the grenades, "These were the first modern fragmentation grenades in the world. They are variations which can be tossed like a typical hand grenade, or fired from a rifle. They come filled with Baratol and have a 4 second fuse."

"To test its lethality, we've set up an enclosed area with 3 pigs hanging inside. I think you know what you have to do next," Geoff said

Rastra nodded and got into position.

"Alright Rastra, on the count of 3 it's bombs away. 1…2…3!" Geoff shouted.

Rastra pulled the pin and tossed the grenade into the enclosed space before running back to join the group behind their Plexiglas shielding.

A brilliant explosion followed as the enclosed space's walls were rocked violently by the blast and the pig carcasses swaying in the following breeze.

Dr. Dorian went over to assess the carnage.

He then began feeling around the torn apart carcasses, "These guys are riddled with shrapnel. There is no way in hell they would have survived this. Altogether you have 3 instant kills."

"The SS bring something that will totally surprise a squad of Gurkhas." Silvio said

"What do you bring to counter?" Dorian asked

"I present to you the S-Mine." he says presenting it. The German S-mine also known as the "Bouncing Betty", is the best-known version of a class of mines known as bounding mines. When triggered, these mines launch into the air and then detonate at about 0.9 meters. The explosion projects a lethal spray of shrapnel in the form of ball bearings in all directions. The S-mine was an anti-personnel mine developed by Germany in the 1930s and used extensively by German forces during World War II. It was designed to be used in open areas against unshielded infantry."

"Okay, same thing for you with the three pigs." Geoff said as he sets up the bouncing betty. The experts and panelists walk behind the Plexiglas and with the press of a button, the bouncing betty flies up and explodes shredding all the pigs.

"Wow, this is nasty." Dorian said walking over "The ball bearing really tore these guys up and of course, they're all done for."

"Hey doc, this pick lost his balls literally." Geoff said pointing to a pig with a hole in its crotch.

Both explosive devices have their devastating results, but where do our panelists stand?

"I'm giving the edge to the betty." Geoff started "Those ball bearing are deadly pieces of shrapnel and the speed in which it flies up is crazy. Edge bouncing betty."

"I'm giving the mills bomb the edge because you are very mobile with it as compared to the betty which is stationary and detectable by metal detectors. Mills bomb gets the edge here Geoffy boy." Dorian countered

"Sorry Geoffy boy, I'm with doc on this one." Mack chuckled

"Wow ok, after all I did for you guys you turn against me...it's because I'm the Canadian one is it?" Geoff said

In explosive weapons, the Gurkhas take the edge with their mills bomb.

Coming up, our panelists gauge the X-factors of each warrior and then after that, it's a 5-on-5 squad battle for supremacy in our season two premiere to determine who is 'The Deadliest Warrior.'

XXXXXXX

And now Mack will gauge the X-factors of each warrior.

"First up is training. The Gurkhas come from the high mountains of Nepal and undergo extensive training to separate the weak from the strong, whereas the Waffen SS were trained to harass the weak and unarmed. The Gurkhas have an 87 to the Waffen SS 84."

"Psychological warfare is another factor to be taken into consideration and here the Waffen SS take a slight edge because of the holocaust, the massacre of even women and children and infants gives them an 89 to the Gurkha's 85."

"Next is physicality, the Gurkha takes it. Despite being small warriors, they are physiologically strong and less susceptible to fatigue due to the high altitudes of the Himalayas in which they are born and train in during their early lives. The deep climbing they are forced to undergo will strengthen their legs and their dependence on oxygen will be lessened after generations of exposure to the thin mountain air. We gave them a 91 to the Waffen SS 85."

"Operational experience is another factor and once again we gave it to the Gurkha. They have been all over the world fighting for the British Empire while the SS was mainly in the European continent. They have an 85 to the Waffen SS 80."

"Terrain familiarity is also another factor. Although Gurkhas have been trained to be effective in numerous different types of locales, here the SS will be fought in Berlin giving them kmowledge of streets and alleyways. We gave them an 88 to the Gurkha's 80."

"Lastly, there is audacity. Both these men are fanatically devoted to their respective causes and are not afraid to give their lives for their cause if they have to. We rated them even with an 88 each."

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 a battle between two fierce soldiers who show no fear of death?

"Im so happy the season two premiere is here. In the end there can be only one. Let's find out," Mack said throwing the switch.

XXXXXXX

It is a clear blue day in the German city of Berlin. The serene scene pans over to a fenced in area of the residential neighborhoods and we see 5 SS agents in a small playground congregating. The allied forces draw near and they are completely ready to defend the fatherland.

Waffen SS: 5

Nearby the playground in a small area with trees and a hill, 5 Gurkha's have infiltrated Berlin on a recon mission and they see the Germans. Their advance is halted by a wired fence and the captain cuts the wire and his men go through the opening he had just created.

Gurkha: 5

As the SS agents continue conversing, the Gurkhas take cover behind a tiger tank and the captain orders his men to fire. The Gurkhas peek out of their cover with their guns drawn and being firing and way at the Germans. The Hauptmann yells for his men to take cover and return fire. He orders one SS agent to run forward and lay down some suppressive fire which he does as he and the others go to retrieve their weapons. The German pins the Gurkha down at the tiger tank with his FG-42 and he quickly expends his clip.

He goes to make a break for it but is quickly gunned down with multiple shots to his back by the bren weilding Gurkha.

Waffen SS: 4 - Gurkha: 5

Upon seeing the SS agent fall, the Gurkha captain orders his men to advance on the enemy and they move out the tiger tank and make their way to the school building where the Germans retreated. They make their way into the playground and the bren wielding Gurkha takes point.

He slowly advances forward and unknown to him, a bouncing Betty is planted in the ground and sadly he steps on it and triggers it. The mine hops into the air and kills the Gurkha in an explosion shredding him with the ball bearings.

Waffen SS: 4 - Gurkha: 4

The corpse is blasted backwards and the Gurkha captain orders his men to continue forth. They eventually make their way to the entrance of the nearby school building and suddenly gunfire erupts as an SS agent has them pinned with his FG-42 set up on the second story window causing the Nepalese soldiers to take cover behind a nearby car.

The gunfire continues pinning the Gurkhas down and the Gurkha orders his second in command to hand him and mills bomb. He orders and other Gurkha to draw the SS agent's attention and the Gurkha quickly runs out from cover and the SS agent takes aim at him.

The Gurkha captain creeps over to under the window and pulls the pin on the grenade and chugs it upward and ends up in the window.

The SS agent did not see the grenade land next to him and his is obliterated in an explosion to shoots him out the window landing his smoking corpse with a hard thud.

Waffen SS: 3 - Gurkha: 4

The Gurkha who drew the attention of the FG-42 wielding SS agent is suddenly shot in his neck by the Waffen SS Hauptmann in the adjacent building and he falls down clutching his wound as the other Gurkha run over and fire back with their Enfields but did not manage to hit the SS leader as he retreats into the packed streets with his remaining men.

Waffen SS: 3 - Gurkha: 3

The Gurkhas make their to their teammate but he has already succumbed to his wound and the Gurkha captain and his remaining two men chase after the Germans and follow them through the alleyway.

The alleyway appears empty but suddenly an SS agent pops out behind cover with his Karabiner 98k and fires it striking a Gurkha in his eyes

Waffen SS: 3 - Gurkha: 2

But his victory was short lived when the Gurkha second in command fires back with his Enfield shooting him through his cheekbone and exiting out the back of his head.

Waffen SS: 2 - Gurkha: 2

The remaining Gurkhas enter the ruined streets of Berlin and decide to split to find the remaining Nazis. The Gurkha second in command walks into a small bar and hears some creaking in the next room. He draws his kukri and slowly enters the room when suddenly the SS leader jumps out and punches him in the jaw.

The Gurkha is knocked backwards into the wall and attempts to swing his kukri but the SS captain takes his SS dagger and stabs the Gurkha in his leg. The Gurkha grunts in pain and pushes him back and performs a kick directed at the SS leader's shin putting him on one knee.

The Gurkha is unaware that the SS leader had drawn his Mauser c96 and quickly aims it upwards at the Nepalese warrior. He pulls the trigger and the gun erupts in a rapid firing mode that riddles the Gurkha knocking him backwards into the wall and he slumps downward.

Waffen SS: 2 - Gurkha: 1

The SS leader exits the bar and runs to find his man and last Gurkha. The Gurkha leader is continuing searching for the when the other SS jumps out and tackles him to the ground. The SS agent takes his SS dagger and quickly goes to bring it down onto the Gurkha's face only to be sliced in the stomach by the kukri.

The SS soldier is then kicked away by the Gurkha and he clutches his wound. He looks up and the last thing he ever sees is the kukri being stabbed into his neck in a gush of blood.

Waffen SS: 1 - Gurkha: 1

The SS leader had made his way to the plaza area with a fountain in the middle and he hears footsteps and turns to face the source hoping it to be from his last man. To his disappointment, it's the Gurkha leader. Both men glare at each other and draw their blades. The Gurkha walks slowly towards the SS leader and swings his kukri.

The SS leader ducks the swing and quickly lunges forward with his dagger and manages to get the Gurkha in his stomach but is quickly shoved away by his foe. The SS leaders stumbles from the shove and when he recovers he sees the Gurkha wildly swinging his kukri at him.

The German tries to block one of for swings but the kukri connects with his forearm and he suffers a horrid gash.

The SS captain grunts in pain but manages to catch the Gurkha by the arm and forces the Gurkha to his knees. The German brings his SS dagger down but with the Gurkha, be uses his free arm and catches the German's wrist and twists it causing his enemy to drop his dagger and the Gurkha pushes him against the fountain.

The Gurkha goes to bring the blade down onto the German but he again catches the Gurkha by the wrist. The Gurkha reacts quickly by grabbing the German by the wrist and spins him around and grabs him by his helmet's strap and forces his face into the water.

With his free arm, he reaches for his Webley revolver and with that, puts it on the back of the German's helmet and pills the trigger. The Webley blows the Waffen SS leaders brains out.

Waffen SS: 0 - Gurkha: 1

The fountain's water slowly turns bloody red and the Gurkha pulls the head out and tosses the corpse to the ground. He raises his Webley and kukri into the air and yells 'AYO GURKHALI!"

Following a lopsided battle, the Gurkhas emerged victorious. Their Lee Enfield No.4 being the deadliest weapon on the simulator. The Waffen SS scoring more kills at long and short range respectively.

"The Gurkhas won because they were have superior physical conditioning, the harder hitting arsenal and combined with their superior warrior mentality allowed them to triumph over the superior complexity of the Waffen SS. They put up a good effort but the Gurkhas win." Geoff said

"The Waffen SS loss today, doesn't really surprise me, the Gurkhas were born warriors, it's a generational thing. When they turn on, watch the hell out!" Mack says

(We see the Gurkha captain in the town square. Allied infantry units make their way into Berlin as the final battle for control of Berlin begins.)
