Ed: The sidekick, the second player that exists to help the hero on his quest, no matter the danger they are put through.

Demo: And today, we are putting two Ultimate Sidekicks the world has ever known! Luigi, Nintendo's Green Thunder!

Ruby: And Nightwing, DC Former Boy-Wonder! I'm Ruby Rose, and those are Ed and Demo!

Ed: And is our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills, to find out who would win, a Death Battle.


Luigi

Ed: The Mushroom Kingdom, a magical place ruled by the beautiful Princess Toadstool, and in constant danger by a lizard-dragon-turtle creature that wants to rule the kingdom.

Demo: This will be a piece of cake for said turtle if it wasn't for two pesky plumbers clad in red and green, one of those brothers is none other than the Eternal Understudy himself! Luigi!


-Background

-Name: Luigi Mario

-Height: 5'5"

-Weight: 200lbs

-One of the Seven Star Children

-Younger Brother of Mario

-Has his own Mansion

-The Eternal Understudy

-Has an awesome Death Stare


Ruby: Alongside his brother Mario, Luigi is one of the Mushroom Kingdom greatest warriors. Dedicated on helping his brother in desperate situations, making him the perfect subordinate in the battlefield.

Demo: I don't know, seems more of a taller younger brother been bully by his tiny older brother. Then again, he doesn't mind.

Ed: And he may take that to the extreme, but Luigi has proved that he's no pushover on the battlefield.


-Skills and Abilities

-Superhuman Strength, Agility, Stamina, Jumping Ability

-Skilled in Hand-to-hand combat

-Ground Pound

-Scuttle Jump

-Green Missile

-Luigi Cyclone

-Super Jump Punch


Ruby: Luigi is not only taller than his brother, but also stronger, faster and more athletic than him. He's strong enough to break bricks with his bare hands and Ground Pound them into pieces, agile enough to react and dodge eye can't see objects, run kilometers without a sweat and he can jump up to 6 feet high in the air. He can tank punches from powerful enemies and beings. He's an expert on fighting against any kind of foe, from ninjas to oversize monsters and athletic to parkour through walls.

Ed: After studying Yoshi's super jump ability, he managed to develop his own jumping technique, the Scuttle Jump. This jump allows Luigi to float down from the air without injury to his legs.

Demo: But of course, good ol' Green wouldn't be a worthy opponent without some heavy attacks. Like the Green Missile, where Luigi charges and shoots himself in the air like a rocket! The Luigi Cyclone, a tornado of death in which the more he spins, the harder he hits, with the bonus of flying up in the air! And the Super Jump Punch, basically a Shoryuken, but if connect at the right time, enemies are sent flying high into the air and they won't come back down!

Ruby: But that's not all Luigi has to offer, specifically when he has an arsenal of power-ups. While there a thousand of them, we pick the ones Luigi use more often.


-Power-Ups and Arsenal

-Fire Flower

-Vanishing Flower Power

-Tanooki Suit

-Blue Shell

-Star Man

-Mega Mushroom

-Ultra Hammer

-Thunder Hand

-Negative Zone

-Poltergust 5000


Ed: It was quite difficult to search through the history of the Eternal Green sidekick, but after several calculations we did, we found that Luigi prefers to focus on both offense and defense power-ups. His first power-up is the Fire Flower, which grants him pyrokinesis of bouncing green fireballs. Then, there's the Vanishing Flower, which makes him invisible and intangible for a limited time.

Demo: Green Thunder has a lot of flying power-ups, but he appears to like the Tanooki Suit, not only those it grants the ability to fly but allows him to transform his body into a stone statue! Nothing can break it, the only problem is that it has a limit on how long he can be in this form and can't move nor attack! But no worries, his Blue Shell covers that for him, an indestructible shell that can tank anything in his way! And just like his brother, he can use the Star Man, a star that grants Luigi invincibility for a short time!

Ruby: Don't forget the Mega Mushroom! A giant size fungus that makes people grow into a giant! It can destroy almost anything in his way! Even though is for a short time, like a minute or two.

Ed: But Power-Ups aren't the only thing Luigi has in store, he's a master of smashing with his Ultra Hammer, a weapon strong enough to hurt spiky opponents.

Demo: And of course, if he wants to 'spark' things up, he can use his Thunder Hand technique! A skill gave by the Thunder God himself, Luigi can shoot lightning from his hands! Or better yet, use them to kick objects like electric soccer balls!

Ruby: Speaking of skills, after being behind Mario's shadow for so long, Luigi learn how to manipulate a Negative Zone. Its effects are random but unavoidable. Is like making time slow for your enemies and watching them suffer for a while!

Ed: And finally, Luigi has the one only Poltergust 5000, a vacuum cleaner that can absorb ghost and enemies alike. A unique weapon that I would love to research a bit more on. The science to be face-to-face with the supernatural is something I wish to keep learning-

Demo: Ed, control your nerd side and let's talk about why this sidekick is to be fear and respect.


-Feats

-Regularly Smashes Solid Bricks

-Constantly Survives Falls from High Places

-Defeated Dimentio, King Boo, and Chief Chilly

-Keep on with several Nintendo Characters

-Saved Evershade Valley and also restored the Dark Moon

-Accompany Mario in many adventures

-Discover the Grand Final Galaxy

-Save Mario from Doom 3 times

-Won Mario Party minigames by doing absolutely nothing


Ed: R-Right. Luigi is known as a legend by smashing bricks apart with his hands, surviving impossible falls that no human can live from, as well as taking on strong opponents like Bowser, the Koopalings, Dimentio, King Boo, Chief Chilly, and Smash contestants. He has been his own hero, saving Evershade Valley and restoring the Dark Moon.

Demo: Not only has he assisted Mario in many adventures and taking on several deathly bosses, but he has also saved Mr. Video Game from doom THREE times! That's Loyalty!

Ruby: But most impressive of all would be in Mario Party, a deathly game, were friendships and betrayals are made. Guess what? Luigi can win their minigames….by doing nothing.

Demo: That's pure skill and luck right there! But is not enough, consider that our Nintendo Sidekick is nothing but a coward.


-Weakness

-Cowardly

-Clumsy

-Power Ups are lost after a good hit


Ed: That's right. Luigi is afraid of everything; ghosts, bugs, his shadow, the sun (for obvious reasons). Of course, his fear is justified…. usually.

Ruby: And he's a bit clumsy, tripping on almost everything. But just like any Drunken Master, he uses this fault to his advantage, making him more vicious in a fight. Also, his arsenal isn't durable, one good hit and they are gone.

Demo: He mighty by a coward, but he has a golden heart. The Green Thunder will always be ready to fight…If he's not scared, that is.

*Luigi: "I'm-a Luigi! Number 1!"*


Nightwing

Ed: Dick Grayson was born on the first day of spring in the family of The Flying Graysons, the famous acrobats of The Haly Circus.

Demo: Mom and Dad were the stars of the show, and wanting to be next to them, Dick became part of the family. Too bad it was short lived for the poor kid.


-Background

-Name: Richard (Dick) John Grayson

-Height: 5'10

-Weight: 175 lbs

-The First Robin "The Boy-Wonder"

-Occupation Job: Detective

-Former Sidekick of Batman and Member of the Teen Titans

-Adopted Son of Bruce Wayne


Ruby: In the middle of a performance, Dick had the horrible view of seeing his parents fall to their death after the ropes were sabotage by criminals. He was an orphan with a broken heart, but with determination to bring justice to criminals and make sure that what happened to his parents won't happen to others.

Demo: Later on, he was adopted by Bruce Wayne, and through it, discover his 'father' secret identity; The Dark Knight, Batman! Danananana, Batman~ Batman~

Ed: Eager and determined to save others, Dick wanted Batman to train him. And after several tries, DC Gotham's Guardian allow the young man in his crusade, becoming the Boy Wonder, Robin. And after years of helping, he would later leave Gotham and form the Teen Titans, with him as a leader. Years later, they would go their separate ways as Dick took on his new persona; Nightwing.

Demo: And OH BOY! If Robin was an amazing partner, you can believe he had the right skills for the right job!


-Skills and Abilities

-Peak-Human Strength, Speed, Reflexes, Agility, and Durability

-Genius Level Intelligence

-Master Detective

-Indomitable Will

-Master Acrobatic and Martial Artist

-Weapons Specialist

-Expert Hacker and Escapologist

-Fear, Respect, & Leadership

-Stealth & Marksmanship


Ruby: Thanks to Batman's intense training, Dick is in Peak Physicality level; his strong enough to bench 350 lbs. and support 1000 lbs. of rubble with his back! And he can dodge sniper fire and lasers point blank with his speed, agility, and reflexes!

Ed: His genius-level intellect rivals that of Batman himself, he has a vast supply of knowledge in many fields, can possibly fool a polygraph, built his Nightcar, and programmed his Tech Glider. He also has an indomitable will, which has allowed him to break mind control and even gain the attention of Abin Sur as a potential successor as a Green Lantern. His skills as a Detective is no joke, able to solve impossible cases with no problem, as well as his hacking techniques.

Demo: And being a famous Grayson, Nightwing acrobatic skills are his bread and butter! He can leap off great distances with no problem and dodge threats like bullets at a fast rate! Is like Spider-Man, only without the need for the Spider-Sense! How much I would love to have that shit…

Ruby: Yeah, me too. But don't forget his Martial Arts skills! Thanks to the training of Batman and Richard Dragon. Dick is a Proficient in Boxing, Capoeira, Hapkido, Judo, Ninjutsu, Savate, Taijiquan, Wing Chun, Aikido, and Eskrima. The last two are his most used since Aikido is a defensive Japanese martial art that basically uses an opponent's momentum against them by redirecting their force and motion, and Eskrima is a Filipino fighting style that emphasizes using sticks and hand-to-hand combat. He's also an excellent escapology, a master marksman with any weapon, and a stealthy combatant, so stealthy, not even the cape crusader knows he's behind him.

Demo: Yep, this guy is a total badass! Even more when he can scare the living out of Scarecrow, the toxic villain who use fear in his victims. But he wouldn't be a dangerous character if he didn't have the tools to scare people.


-Arsenal

-Nightwing Suit

-Eskrima Sticks

-Wing-Dings

-Explosive Darts

-Smoke Pellets

-Grappling Hook

-Electric/Explosive Gel


Ed: His suit is one of his most important defensive weapons. Made of triple-weaved, Nomex fire-resistant Kevlar and able to absorb 150,000 volts of electricity as well redirecting it for his own use. His mask was built-in Starlight night-vision goggles and Biometric Scanner, perfect to find heat signatures. Both gauntlets and boots have a variety of gadgets within them, such as smoke and sonic pellets, throwing tracers, a 100,000-volt stun-gun, and laser beams. And finally, it has a utility belt like Batman's, taking care of his gadgets. Ruby, Demo, take it away!

Ruby: Yes! First are his Eskrima Sticks, two-night sticks that can be connected together to make a staff and generate electricity. Perfect for his Eskrima fighting-style! His Wing-Dings are a rip off Batarangs, capable of doing the same thing as them! From explosions to electrocution!

Demo: And for those quick escapes, he has a Grappling Hook, but if he needs firepower, he uses Explosive Darts and his Explosive Gel, with the bonus of electricity, of course! Anything that touches will be shocked to the core!

Ed: With armor, weapons, and skills, Dick Grayson had finally stood next to Batman, in his own way.


-Feats

-Held up nearly 1000 lbs of rubble on his back

-Can do a Quadruple Spin on air

-Able to combat, stalemate, and even defeat the Super-Soldier Mercenary Deathstroke from time to time

-After being brutally tortured and thrown into a pit, he bravely defended the other Teen Titans from a giant spider

-Was able to damage Cyborg Superman with his bare hands and catch Wally West, A.K.A. The Flash, while he was running


Ed: Nightwing has gone head to head with Deathstroke, the Super Soldier that react, hit, and run faster than a normal human being. And his determination of fighting is so strong, he protected the Teen Titans (who were unconscious at the time) from a Giant Spider after being tortured and thrown into a pit.

Demo: Not only that! After so much in the dark, he can sense others that hide in the shadows, like Batman! HELL! At one point he became THE Dark Crusade, with suit and gadgets! Not forgetting that he can break a brick wall without a problem! And withstand the bite of an orca, that weight over 19,000 pounds!

Ruby: He even managed to catch The Flash (Wally Wester), one of the fastest runner in all DC, while running! And as a speedster who specializes in running fast, catching someone who runs almost 670 million miles per hour is super hard!

Ed: Absolutely, Rubes. However, despite fighting monsters that could blow planets, and break spines apart, and teaming up with out of logic heroes on the daily. Dick is not one of them.


-Weakness

-Still Human

-Suit and other gears have their limits


Demo: Under that suit of his is nothing but fragile bones and meat, and while the suit is great for fire and electric resistance, it has its limits and can be cut through by sharp objects. Not forgetting that his arsenal has their limits of both use and carrying in his personal.

Ruby: But that's not a problem for him! After all, we're talking about the former Boy Wonder that was trained by Gotham's Vigilante!

*Nightwing: "My life isn't about the costumes or the bad guys. It's not about cities or symbols. It's way simpler than that. I mean, I grew up in a circus. It's always been about catching people when they fall."*


Ed: All right, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all!

Demo: Would Luigi put the Former Robin in an electrifying situation?

Ruby: Or will Nightwing show the Eternal Understudy he can't be outclassed? Let's begin this Death Battle!


Bludhaven City

9:19 P.M.

It was quiet. Too quiet. For some reason, for all the time the criminal element could strike, there was no activity among the streets. No guns, no crooks, nothing. It seemed that Bludhaven was finally catching a break. But even so, that doesn't mean that one's guard should be dropped, especially when your someone on top of a building looking through the city on the night. Said person was a man, dress in a black suit with a blue outlining of a bird over his arms and chest. He was kneeled on the roof of an apartment, looking through the city. He had a finger on his ear.

"Barbara. Status report."

Dick Grayson, a.k.a the Nightwing asked through his mic on his ear.

Barbara: "No signal yet, Dick. Is pretty weird."

Nightwing: "Indeed. The town seems to quite to be a good thing."

Barbara: "Tell me about it- Hold on."

The blue and black hero stood silently as he could hear the red-haired woman's finger on the keyboard. After a few seconds, Barbara respond.

Barbara: "Dick! I just found something! There seems to be a disturbance on the west side! I don't know what it is….But is Big."

Nightwing: "Copy that. I'm heading there now, send me the coordinates."

Nightwing stood up and jump off the building where he was. He free falls through the wall before landing on his bike, starting the engine immediately and dashing off to where the signal was coming. It was a long drive of 20 minutes before he reaches the entrance of the zoo. And what he found was….quite confusing.

Nightwing: "What in Gotham's name?"

Barbara: "Dick? Is something wrong?"

Nightwing: "Yeah, umm… I think I found the Big signal."

Barbara: "Really? And what was it? Penguin? Deathstroke? A party of thugs?"

Nightwing: "Not even close….Just one Big Green Pipe."

Barbara: "...Excuse me?"

Dick wasn't kidding. Right in front of him was a large green pipe connected to the ground. He parks his bike and slowly made his way to the mysterious tube.

Barbara: "Are you screwing with me, Dick?"

Nightwing: "I really wish, Barb. I really wish."

Dick commenced to inspect the mysterious pipe, looking around it and inside the hole, there was, pitch black like his suit.

Nightwing: "It looks to be connected to the underground, but is way too big for it to be a normal tube."

Barbara: "Could be a trap from Bull**** And***** D****"

Nightwing: "Barb? What's wrong?! I'm losing signal!"

Barbara: "St****The************"

Nightwing frantically began to press his ear, as his eyes began to scan for anything that might be interfering with the signal. Nothing…. however, he began to hear something.

"...aaaa…."

He was confused, he looks around to find the source of the voice.

"...Aaaaaaa…."

The voice began to come clear and it was coming from the pipe. He was about to inspected when suddenly, the pipe deflate a little, taking him by surprise.

Nightwing: "What the-?!"

*POOF*

"GHYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The green pipe shot something out from inside with a scream and a green blur. It went up to the sky before beginning to fall at maximum speed, crashing hard on the ground. Dust cover the area where the object fell while Dick covers his face from the dust. When it began to clear up, the first thing that Nightwing saw was...a pair of legs sticking out from the ground.

Nightwing: "What the hell?"

He made his way to the dangling legs before poking one of them. When he did, the legs began to move around, making the vigilante move away from them. The earth shakes a little as whatever it was stuck began to pull itself out, and it did. But Dick wasn't expecting...a human.

Jumping out of the ground was a man, tall enough to reach his chest, with blue eyes, a big round nose, and a fancy mustache. He had a green hat with an L on the center. He was dress in blue overalls, a green shirt under it, and brown boots.

Luigi began to dust itself before he notices that he was….in a dark place. He immediately began to shake in fear, never was a fan of dark places in the first place. He looks up to see the moon up the sky, not helping his case.

Nightwing: "Uh...Excuse-"

Luigi: "GHYAAAAAAAAA!"

Nightwing tried to talk to the stranger but his voice scared the green plumber as he dashes toward the green pipe, hiding behind it. The mature Robin blink at the sudden cowardice before trying to speak at the green cap man. He looks behind the pipe to see him shaking while covering his eyes with his hat, making Nightwing sweatdrop.

Nightwing: ('What's this guy's problem?')

Nightwing asked to himself before he saw a piece of paper float down to his face. Curious, he picks it from the air and took a good look at it. He stared in surprise at what he saw. There was a picture of Luigi, with the words 'WANTED' engraved on the bottom. Dick look at where the green plumber was, and return to look the paper. He did this process three times before he stares in absolute disbelief.

Nightwing: ('Are you serious? This guy is wanted?')

No matter how he sees it, he can't picture this man as a treat. However, over the years, he knows that one cannot be judged by a book. If this man is really dangerous, then he must uphold his code. He walks up to the back of the tube to see the cowardly plumber shaking while covering his eyes with his hat. Dick grab him by the collar and turn him around. Luigi yelp at the sudden action before his sky-blue eyes were staring at the complete black mask eyes.

With that in mind, an image surface inside Luigi's mind, a very, very distant image. His other persona….Mr. L.

Nightwing: "Listen, buddy, I don't know what you-"

Whatever the vigilante was about to say was interrupted when Luigi punches him in the face hard, making him let go of him and been sent back through the ground. Nightwing bounces off it and lands on his feet, before glaring at the plumber. He places a hand on his jaw, popping his bones to normal before standing up. He took and twirled his Eskrima Sticks around, bringing them across his body, stretching his arms out, and brings them together to create a spark of his insignia.

Nightwing: "So...We are doing this the hard way… Fine by me."

It took a moment for Luigi to realize what he did, he began to tremble a little at his mistake, but seeing the mysterious man taking two clubs with electricity, he knew he can no longer talk his way out. With a gulp going down his throat, Luigi took out his Ultra Hammer and spin it around...only to accidentally hit his head hard. Nightwing grimaces in pain and sweat at the hit of the hammer before seeing Luigi shook it off and grab it with both hands. Knowing full well that he was ready, as well when he said-

Luigi: "Let's-a go."


Player 2! Are you ready?!

FIGHT!


Luigi made the first move by jumping up into the air with grimaces hammer and brought it down to Nightwing, but the dark/blue vigilante dodge it by jumping back. The hammer hit the concrete hard, sending a small shockwave, but the Green Plumber wasn't done as he turns around and swung his hammer vertical. However, it was dodge as well by Nightwing by bending backward, making a swing and miss scenario as Luigi lost his balance, which allows Nightwing to swing and strike his stick on the back of the plumber's head, before swinging it's other to his stomach. The flying Grayson proceeded to kick him away from him, in which the Eternal Understudy flew backward, but recovered in the air. Luigi began to use his Scuttle Jump and he slowly drops down, not before holding his Ultra Hammer like a baseball bat and throwing it fast down. Dick's eyes widened at the speed, but it was no match for his reaction as he dodges at the last second by athletic moving backward. But doing so, he didn't have time to see the Green Missile that collides with his stomach when he stood up. He was sent flying along with Luigi, who took the opportunity to punch him in the face, before throwing his other fist. He then flips forward and stomps the vigilante on the ground as they slide down to a stop. Suddenly, Dick's eyes hardened and slam his Eskrima sticks to both sides of the plumber's body, causing pain to go through him, which allow Nightwing to push him off, sending the tiny plumber into the woods. The vigilante spring to his feet before dashing through the woods, however, he found himself in a clearing, cover by nothing but darkness. He quickly active his night-vision goggles to have a better view of the scene, as well as his Biometric Scanner to find any heat signature. However, he was surprised that he couldn't find any sign of the plumber around the area.

Nightwing: ('What?! Impossible! There's no way he could have escape very easily!')

He put his guard up, trying to find out where his opponent was until he felt a sensation to look up. His eyes widened and immediately jump away as Luigi came down with a Ground Pound, smashing the place where Nightwing was. The vigilante jumps to his feet and took out his Wing-Dings out and quickly began to throw them in the air, spinning super fast. Luigi freak out as he saw the tiny boomerangs heading his way. He dodged them in any way he could; jumping either to the side, up, or dropping down. Nightwing then threw one more Wing-Ding, but this one stabs itself on the ground in front of Luigi, who looks confused at it. That is until he heard a beeping sound, the green plumber had little time to react as the boomerang explode, sending the Eternal Understudy flying backward out of the woods and back to the zoo, his body rolling backward several times before stopping on his back. He rose up, daze up and mumbling in pain.

Nightwing exit from the woods, immediately charging at the plumber with his sticks in hands. Luigi stood up and took out a red flower from his overalls. In an instant, his clothes change color, his hat and overall change to white. He was now Fire Luigi, and he summons fire from his hand before rapidly sending a wave of bouncing Fireballs. Nightwing didn't let this face him as his suit was made to be resistant against fire, as well that he was dodging them while running. Once he reaches his opponent he commenced his attacks, but the Green Plumber was prepared this time as he began his best to dodge all swing from the sticks. He then jumps back into the air, his gloves glowing green before shooting more fireball, but bigger. Nightwing athletically dodges them before throwing a Wing-Ding into the air, Luigi immediately dodges it, however, the tiny boomerang detonates right below him, sending the plumber flying farther into the zoo, his clothes changing back to his original color. Luigi crash against a fence before landing in the floor, he stood up to his knee, and then he saw a familiar brown leaf with eyes in the ground.

Nightwing finally arrives at where he sent his opponent, only to find that he had taken off deep into the zoo corridors. Not one to let him escape, he chases after him quickly. He saw him go inside the zoo's museum.

Nightwing: ('Perfect.')

Instead of going through the door, Nightwing took his grappling hook and shoot it in the ceiling. With his athletic skills, he jumps and climbs the wall before entering through an air vent. Moments later, he was inside through the ceiling. He saw the inside was practical as expected, dangling bones of animals, shop area, exposition of animal skins, etc. Since it was dark, he once again activates his night vision mask. He began to search for any heat signature of the plumber since Nightwing was above, there's no way the plumber could hide from someone like him. After a few looks, he found some sort of heat, footsteps to say the least. He immediately drops down silently and quickly began to follow them all the way to the stone area, which had an exposition of stone ages as well as stones of Indians from long ago. Once inside, he notices that the footsteps had disappeared.

Nightwing: ('Hmmm… It would appear that he stop running…Meaning, he must have either hide on the ceiling or hiding around my area…')

Thinking quickly, he took his Explosive Gel and spray it on the exit, securing the trap perfectly. With that done, he carefully made his way around, inspecting any out of weird. As he search he passed by some statues...and immediately walk backward before turning slightly to one of the statues. It was short, look like a tanooki, made out of stone and had a green neck clock. Curiously, the face looks like the green plumber, but last he checked, he was a human, not a raccoon. Disagreeing, he quickly went away and when he did, the raccoon statue was cover in smoke, revealing Luigi in his Tanooki Suit. Knowing he had fooled his adversary, he made a silent, but the quick dash to the door…

Unfortunately for him, Dick Grayson is not one to be easily fooled.

The moment Luigi reach the door, the Explosive Gel explode, sending Luigi backward into the floor, right in front of a very unimpressed Nightwing.

Nightwing: "Seriously? What kind of stupid costume are you trying to fool me with?"

Luigi sweatdrop at his question, understanding the ridiculous outfit. Before he knew it, Dick was on him, having him in a tight hold, knee on the throat. Nightwing produces electricity on his gauntlets and was planning to put the plumber to unconsciousness. However, Luigi transforms his body into stone again, causing Nightwing to stare at it before backing away, not of shock but rather carefulness since he doesn't know what this guy has in store. Taking the opportunity, Luigi transforms back and zoom away from the stone area. Nightwing in pursuit of him, soon enough Luigi began to take it into the air, his tail swirl around. The flying Grayson simply took out his Grappling Gun and shoot it to the ceiling.

Nightwing: ('Bad Choice, Green Boy. The air is my turf.')

Like Spiderman swinging through New York City, Nightwing swung through the air, landing on a dangling Aerodactyl mannequin. He began to jump from mannequin to mannequin, right on his opponents tail, (no pun intended). Taking out a Ding Wing, he threw right at the back of the plumber. Luigi felt like something heading at his back and quickly move down, letting the Ding-Wing fly over him. With that, the green sidekick looked back and gave the Gotham defender a raspberry.

It would soon be a mistake as the projectile began to turn around. It hit the back of Luigi's head, making his eyes pop forward.

Nightwing spun swing to the air and began to fast hit air combo Luigi in the air, ending by planting a Wing-Ding on the face of the plumber before kicking him away. The green Mario crash on the wall, and to make it worst, the Wing-Ding began to beep a lot before it explodes, sending through the wall and out of the building, hitting and rolling through the ground once again. Stopping against a lamp post, he was dazed for a few seconds and lost his Tanooki Suit, which allowed the former High Flyer to jump through the hole and quickly took out several smoke pellets from his belt.

Luigi finally recovers his senses and stood up, only to see several metal balls rolling in front of him, which confused him obviously before they explode and release a heavy smoke which covers the area. As the Green Plumber coughs and sway the smoke out of his face, then his vision became worthless, he was a sitting duck for his opponent. It didn't take long before a shadow slightly went around him, making the Understudy look back in fear. The shadow went around again and Luigi tries to follow it with his eyes, with no success. It was then that a familiar boomerang went to him, causing him to yelp and drop down as the tiny black gadget went above him, embedding itself on the post.

Knowing fully well that he must remove the smoke somehow, Luigi began to think in a way he could remove it his problem, and then, a light bulb appeared and he snaps his finger. He quickly took his trusty Poltergust 5000. He pressed the button and began to absorb the smoke around his area, slowly having a better view of his surrounding. As he did that, Nightwing was on top of the lamp where Luigi crash, looking down at his opponent while using his mask to scan him.

Nightwing: ('I'm in shock. To think he actually had a vacuum on him. Where the hell did he even get one?')

He thought to himself as he received the information about his opponent's machine.

Nightwing: ('Poltergust 5000…? The fuck kind of name is that? Why's he even using a ghost-catching device? Is he a Ghostbusters or something?')

Shaking that question away, he put his plan to action. He pressed the button that was in the middle of his belt, which causes the Wing-Ding that was embedded in the post lamp to glow blue and send a powerful sound wave. Which cause Luigi to heard this and immediately cover his ear while screaming in pain. Dick drop down from the lamp and took out his Eskrima Sticks, activating its electricity. He dashes at Luigi, and began to hit him hard, each baton hit course the electricity around his body. Mario's brother was dazed and unmoved for a moment, which allows the Former Robin to plant both sticks on the plumber's stomach, making sure that the electricity moves throughout his entire body and make him paralyzed.

However, Luigi's eyes glow light-blue as he held a fierce determination. Now that he was close, the Eternal Understudy plant a solid punch on Nightwing's face, breaking the concentration of the vigilante. He proceeded to use his famous Luigi Cyclone, spinning both of his fists hard as he went faster and faster, before ending by pulling his left arm back and swung it hard on Nightwing's chin, the uppercut sent him way high into the air. There was a reason that uppercut is known as the Super Jump Punch. Grayson recovers from the air, but he couldn't do anything as he crashes into several trees, entering the forest of the zoo once again. Luigi quickly dashes forward at where he sent Batman's adopted son while taking out a familiar blue object.

Dick lay down on the grass, his eyes squint open for a bit as he stood up, shaking his head while holding his sour jaw. He clearly underestimated his opponent's strength. Noticing that he was on the dark, he quickly activated his night vision mode, seeing clearly in the dark. He stood up and was about to hide when several bushes move for a bit. Reacting quick, he took out two more Ding-Wings and aim it at the bushes, the Batarang rip-off detonate on the green bush...and out from it appear-

Nightwing: "Huh? Is that a turtle shell?"

Sure enough, a blue giant turtle shell was in his sight. Of all Bizarre things he has witnessed, this was NOT on his list of expectation. Suddenly, the blue shell began to spin at a fast rate before zipping forward at Nightwing's direction. Luckily, it's speed was no surprise for him as he gave it a hard kick, which causes the shell to spin backward…as it crashes into a tree before being bounced back at Nightwing, who jump over it. The blue turtle shell bounce from another tree. Dick quickly heard this and move out of the way, allowing the shell to continue forward….before it bounces back at the tree it bounce….before it bounces from the second tree it bounces which bounce it back to the first tree.

Dick Grayson just stare at it with the most incredulous look on his face. Okay, take back the sentence of before, this was absolutely stupid.

He quickly went to the path of the shell and spray a quick Explosive Gel. He jumps away from the radius and when the turtle shell was on it, he detonated. The force of the explosion threw the shell into the air and out of the woods, again, spinning out of control before crashing through the path of the zoo, landing on it's back. From there, Luigi pops out from his item, his head and eyes spinning around out of control. While that happens, the Vigilante finally arrives and this time, he was tired of playing with this Plumber. He charges at the plumber, crashing into him and slam him into the ground. Before Luigi knew it, Nightwing had placed his gauntlets on both of his arms and stamped them on the ground before doing the same with his feet.

The Eternal Understudy was now trap, unable to move his limbs around as Nightwing stood up from him.

Nightwing: "I'll admit; of all my opponents, you sure have given me quite the trouble on taking down."

He said as he began to place two Electric Gel around Luigi. Clearly, if one knockout explosion won't knock him out, then two should do the trick. Once he did, he moves back away from him.

Nightwing: "But with this, I'm putting you out for good. Goodnight."

And with that, both gels explode on Luigi, who screams in pain and fear as he was consumed by the explosion. The dust around cover the are, hiding everything. Dick was the first thing that came out from the explosion. And then, the place where the Green Plumber is...only for the green hat to be the only remaining thing of his existence.

Nightwing wince at this, he wasn't going for that direction. But not like he can do anything now, his opponent was down for good and maybe it was for the best.

Nightwing: ('I should try to contact Barb and let her know of this.')

He began to try to communicate with Oracle through his earphone, but no luck...And because of that, he didn't saw the floating Hammer that was behind him.

Luckily, he felt something wrong and was able to move out of the way of the hammer that crush that was now on his previous spot. He didn't have time to think what the heck was going as the Hammer began to go after him. He continues to dodge every swing the hammer until he took the opportunity to dodge a missed swing and sent a hard kick….only for his leg to go through whatever was holding the hammer. Suddenly, the hammer hit him hard on the side, sending him into a lamp post, bending it with force.

Nightwing rolls once again on the floor, but this time grunting in pain as his back was now burning. What the hell just attack him?! He slowly began to stand up, and his eyes focus forward... where he saw none other than Nintendo's number two hero, picking his hat from the ground and dusting it off the dirt before placing it on top of his brown hair.

Nightwing: "So you were alive after all, huh?"

The former Robin said as he took out his Esrkima Sticks, activating them again before swinging them around acrobatically.

Nightwing: "Looks like you're more of a trouble than I gave you credit for...No matter, I too am though. So I can tank anything-

Luigi suddenly took out a giant yellow-looking mushroom and before anyone knew it, the Green Thunder had become a Mega Luigi.

Nightwing: "...Of course, he's still full of surprises."

Mega Luigi began to run at Nightwing, his steps causing slight tremors. Nightwing immediately dashes away, this kind of tall was not on his field track. However, there's one thing he understood from his opponent's power; they have a time limit on how much he can use them. So he only needs to make it run out of time-

*THUD*

Nightwing was floating through the air as the hammer almost reach and squash for a moment there. However, the air blast from it sends him forward at a fast rate, his destination been the inside of a warehouse and disappearing through the shadows of the building.

Luigi's tall body began to shrink, his power-up running out of time as he enters the warehouse. The inside of the building had several failing light bulbs flashing a lot. By the time he remembered that he was in the dark...it was too late. Something closed the door behind him, and the lightbulbs were destroyed by a swirling sound. Complete in the dark, with only his light-blue being his source, he immediately turns on his flashlight from his Poltergust 5000. His fear once again took over him, as he frantically looks around for his opponent. He felt someone run past behind him, he looks back, his light only showing the walls. He felt some again in the same place and look back again, and again he found nothing.

Suddenly, he was hit quick on the back of the head, staggering forward. He turned around his flashlight, and a few moments, saw a shadow jumping away. He tried to follow it, but then a sonic wave attacks his ears yet again, forcing him to drop his flashlight and cover his ears in pain.

From the shadows, Nightwing mask glows bright blue, once he was in the dark, he knew that he had the advantage there, but unfortunately, his opponent had his suction ghost device, which means he had a light on his side. However, he only has a forward view, unlike him who has night vision. He began to do his Vigilante work and finally put an end to this. He first made him panic for a bit, distracting him while he places several sonic pellets on the walls, making sure that he was on the path. After that was done, he hides around a pillar and activates the pellets, sending the waves at him. Now that his opponent was an easy target, it was time.

Nightwing: ('Sorry buddy, but if you would simply know to look up, you wouldn't have suffered like this.')

What did the first Robin mean with that?... Simple, Luigi was located right below a crate, which was dangling on by a rope...who uses a rope to pull a metallic crate these days anyway?

Nightwing took another Ding-Wing and threw it at a super speed. The flying boomerang cut right through the rope, the crate immediately began to fall down. And in a split of luck, Luigi, while holding both of his ears, look up and his eyes widened at the falling giant object.

Luigi: "MAMA MIA-"

*THUD*

The crate land right on top of him, squashing down so hard, the eco was like a drum playing.

Nightwing came out from his hiding spot and began to scan for any heat signature. He found a slightly weak one but was faint. Knowing his opponent was next to Hell's Gate. He turns around to leave.

Suddenly, a happy-go music began to play slightly through the air. Dick stop walking and look back in surprise, from down the crate was a rainbow color coming out. It began to rumble a bit before it was pulled up by none other than Luigi, who was glowing like a star, good thing he had a Star Man.

Nightwing: "Okay! Now, this is getting ridiculous!"

Dick shout in absolute anger now, why wouldn't he? His opponent is neither getting knocked out nor dying by anything he threw at him! Luigi processed to throw the metallic crate at him. He took out his Grappling Gun and shoot it upward and was pull up just as the crate reach him, almost touching his boots as the crates crash into the doors of the warehouse.

We now move to the top of the building, where the flying Grayson smash through a window from the ceiling. Surprisingly, Luigi jump from the opposite window from his, his clothes returning to green and blue. They both look at each other, eyes glaring hard.

Nightwing: "Alright...no more fooling around."

With that said, Nightwing suit began to glow, electricity coursing through his body and gloves. Luigi responds by simply raising his right hand in the air, summoning the Thunder Hand.

Now it was time...for the Electrifying Round!

They both charged at each other, their fist collide with each other, sparking electricity away. Luigi threw his other fist, which was block by Nightwing's gauntlet. Said Vigilante proceed to throw a kick, only for the Green Thunder to block it with his arms form as an 'X'. Soon, they both began to trade blows and block from each other, all while electric waves dismiss around. This continued on before one of their collisions send away from each other. Luigi then pulled both of his hands back and began to shoot electric balls at his opponent. Nightwing began to dodge them with no problem before throwing his own Electric Wing-Dings, some colliding with the spheres of thunder, while others went at Luigi, who dodge them as best as he can.

Suddenly, Luigi place his hands together to make a bigger sphere and launch it at super speed. Nightwing grabs both of his Eskrima Sticks and put them together, transforming it into a staff. He swung around like the acrobat he was before slamming it on the incoming thunder sphere once it reached him, sending it back.

Luigi answer by pulling his Ultra Hammer out once again, and all his strength, hit it and send it back at Nightwing, this time way faster than before. The former Robin knew that this time he couldn't send it back, so he jumps in the air as the sphere went right beneath him. He spun in the air backward, doing his Quadruple spin, before landing on edge without effort. But he wasn't quick enough from being hit by Luigi's Green Missile to the chest, which caused them both to fall off the building. Nightwing was about to throw his grapple hook, but Luigi had turned around and placed his feet on his stomach, before bouncing off him, which cause the former protege to be sent into the hard ground, his back wincing in absolute pain, but nothing new he hasn't felt before. He quickly rolls away from the ground, as the Plumber's feet drop where he was drop.

However, Nightwing saw the opportunity, he quickly swung his bo staff before hitting Luigi's unexpected back, staggering forward and making him fall like a clumsy person. When the Green Plumber was raising his head, he felt pressure on his throat. The former Robin had broken his sticks and use it to suffocate his opponent hard.

Nightwing: "Time to finally say good night, plumber."

Luigi tried to pull the stick with his hands but Nightwing was too strong for him. He could feel his lack of air on his lungs! He was gonna die! What can he do in this position?! Despair was finally getting to him!

…Wait…Despair...Negativity! That's it!

Suddenly, Luigi's eyes turn fluorescent, and suddenly a giant green space came out of him, taking back Nightwing.

Nightwing: "What is this?!"

He asked he unconsciously took a step back...and trip backward, losing his hold.

Nightwing: "What the fuck!?"

He noticed that his movement became slow, and Luigi as well. They both stood up...only for Nightwing to trip again, but forward. This allowed Luigi to grab his face and gave him a devastating headbutt...twice, breaking his nose in the process. The Eternal Understudy let go of him and began to summon electricity on his hand. By the time Dick recover from his daze...he was face-to-face with the sphere of-

Luigi: "Thunder!"

*Zaaaaaaaap*

The attack hit Nightwing right on his face, the electricity coursing through his skin face.

Nightwing: "Gaaaaaaaaaah!"

*Booooooom*

And then, the area around them explode.

A giant dust cloud covering the area for a moment before it began to disperse, and both sidekicks were now present, Luigi's hat was out of place while the plumber was breathing heavily of using too much electricity and his Negativity Zone disappear.

Nightwing on the other hand, was on his knees, his body sour and in pain and his suit sparkling a bit. Thankfully, his suit had absorbed the majority of the electric attack, but it wasn't enough to absorb it all. However, the thing is that...his muscles were paralyzed since the attack was a point blank to his face, his skin was exposed from there.

Luigi simply pulls his hand back, adjust his hat back to normal. While Dick Grayson fell forward, his face kissing the pavement. Luigi took out his Ultra Hammer and rose it above his head.

Nightwing: ('So this is it...I was defeated by a Fucking Plumber...Better than Bruce losing to a Spider and a Panther, I guess.')

*THUD*

The hammer finally hit where his head is, blood spraying out from under it. Luigi moves his weapon away while taking his sweat off his forehead. He hasn't fought this hard since the fight with that twin-tail fox...wait, wasn't that a dream?... Who knows. The Green Thunder jump out of the broken floor and was about to head back to the pipe he came from when suddenly, the ghost of Nightwing came out from his now deceased body. Luigi looked at in shock.

Ghost Nightwing: "...Well...I never thought ghost existed in the world."

The ghost said before a flashlight blind him, and then, a vortex of air began to suck him. Before he knew it, his body was now inside a metal area, with so many question marks popping in his head.

Outside, Luigi shook his Poltergust 5000 a bit before looking at the camera with his fingers.

Luigi: "Bang! Bang!"

K.O!


Demo: DAMM! This has to be our very first long battle in all of our chapters united, not forgetting that was shocking!

Ed: Both Luigi and Nightwing were formidable fighters, each one of them had the means to keep on going. In fact, this match could have actually gone to either side of their favor. Both of them had fought others who were stronger than them, and have fallen from pretty heavily height that no human could survive. But at the end, Luigi earn this victory. Why you may ask?

Ruby: Let's start with strength, both Luigi and Nightwing had proven to break bricks with their fists. However, Nightwing greatest feat, according to our intel, is able to stop the bite force of an orca, which we remind, the force is equal to 19,000 pounds. Luigi's greatest feat would be several actually. In Super Mario World, he managed to lift up a castle, which is estimated to weight over 2 million tonnes, and in Super Mario Galaxy 2, he could knock Neutron Stars into Bowser's face! You wanna know how much does that weight? Low-End of 780 septillion tons!

Ed: For speed, while Nightwing takes this one thanks to his acrobatic skills, reflexes, and Batman's training, Luigi is not far behind him at all. They both have dodge eye-can't see attacks, Dick the point-blank gun and Luigi laser attack, but as I said, Nightwing takes this one thanks to his training.

Demo: Durability...Oho! You bet Nintendo's sidekick takes this one by the horns! Sure, those battle scars of Robin prove his one tough gun, but you know what? Luigi has received even worse pain than that, and has come unscratched! Here's a list; been punched by Bowser, crash into the ground like a comet, stopping Dreamy Bowser's fist and the combination of Bowser and Paper Bowser. This bad boy has come out without even a scar!

Ruby: This leaves us with their arsenal, Luigi's Power-Up was an excellent counter against Nightwing's gadgets, while the same could be said to Dick. Moreover, his detective skills were enough to discover and understand Luigi's bizarre weapons.

Ed: At the end, the question we must ask would be; could Nightwing be able to take down Luigi?

Demo: The answer is simple: NO! Dick may have survived battles with powerful beings and had the advantage on the dark, but Luigi has survived hits from monsters of outer space, and even enemies who practically had God-like powers, as for the dark, he's no stranger in that area.

Ruby: Not to mention, Nightwing's arsenal are useful on electronic weapons, something Luigi's power-ups don't have, aside from his Poltergust 5000, which he didn't use very much.

Ed: Not forgetting that the explosive Wing-Dings and Gel were not enough as Luigi has tank explosions to the face before, point blank. As for strength...do we need to repeat ourselves? Overall, Luigi was way stronger and durable than anything Nightwing has ever face or hit before. And any of his power-ups could respond to everything Dick had.

Demo: The only thing Luigi needed to do, was to simply Wing it!

Ruby: The winner is Luigi!


Next time on Death Battle!
