DAM, Zivon, Rice Man, Demigod and Metal Harbinger enter the Fight Club after an evening of trick or treating. DAM was dressed as a Landknecht Doppelsoldner, Zivon was dressed as a Hoshidan Skyknight from Fire Emblem. Rice Man is dressed up as Minato Namikaze from Naruto. Demigod is dressed up as Goku and Metal dressed up as Little Mac. They then set the weapons of today's fighters before eating some candy and beginning the chapter.
''Happy Halloween folks! As you can see we just got back from Trick or Treating and today on Deadliest Warrior: Fiction Edition we are celebrating Halloween when two cruel, antagonistic survivor groups clash when the Whisperers as they appear in The Walking Dead tv series meet the Rest In Peace Cult, or Rippers which is one of the antagonistic factions from Days Gone.'' DeadAliveManiac said excitedly.
''These are two cruel survivor groups we're talking about here. The Whisperers are sly and sneaky and use their disguises to extreme efficiency whereas the Rippers look the way they do to show their devotion and fondness of the Freakers.'' Zivon96 explained.
''These two groups are freaking insane! The Whisperers have devolved themselves to being primitive especially in terms of their weaponry and ways of living off the land. The Rippers on the other hand tend to use firearms more than the former and are just stupid crazy. It's definitely gonna be an interesting match for sure.'' MKDemiGodzilla-Warrior added.
''This is one match I've wanted to see for a long time as these two groups are just so interesting in the way they function. On one hand the Whisperers are a group of people who literally live off the land while the Rippers worship the apocalypse! These two groups are hard, cruel and will not hesitate to kill any unlucky survivor who comes across them and that's what makes them both credible challengers to each other. Let's see who wins.'' Its Rice Man concluded.
The Whisperers are a mysterious group of hostile survivors who disguise themselves with the skin of the undead in order to blend in with them and not get noticed. They are a group of over a hundred individuals who have adopted the ideology that following the fall of society humanity is meant to return to its most animalistic roots, living nomadically in the wild, surviving predominantly off of the land, and following a societal hierarchy similar to that of wolves, with an "Alpha" as their one true pack leader. As such, The Whisperers are also fiercely territorial and will kill anyone who treads into any land they see as their own, and view any form of civilized society as a plague that needs to be erased for the good of the natural order.
''Despite how simplistic their lifestyle is following the end of civilization these goons are just hard and very dangerous. They will no doubt be strong challengers for the Rippers.'' Rice Man concluded.
The maintain control of their land, the Whisperers came armed with a basic murdering weapons cache of blades, firearms and an army of the dead...
Short Range: Dual MX8070 Knives
Mid-Range: Sawed-off Double Barreled Shotgun
Long Range: Bow and Fire arrows
Special: Walker Horde
Today, the primitive survivalists will come face to face with a group whose brutal methods may exceed their own.
The Rest In Peace Cult, better known as Rippers, is an antagonistic faction featured in Days Gone. An insane cult who worship the Freakers, they were reckless and drugged cultists that attacked anything in sight, becoming one of the most feared groups in Oregon. They lost any semblance of humanity believing that to become Infected is a gift that all should strive towards becoming. They also believe that civilization and any vestiges of it are blasphemous, and thus typically torture and kill other humans they come across, especially those who refuse to join them.
''These guys are fucking insane! They are so jacked up in the head they're freaking high on PCP which gives them a boost in durability. They are a feared group in Oregon and their level of insanity and cruelty make them the perfect challengers for the Whisperers.'' Rice Man explained.
The Rippers come armed with a deadly arsenal that helped them instill fear among the Oregon wilderness...
Short Range: Ripper Club
Mid-Range: Winchester Model 1887
Long Range: M40 Sniper Rifle
Special: Pipe Bomb
When these two survivor groups killed up close they relied on two differing weapons to slay the infected or human. Up first will be the Whisperers with the lethal MX8070 Knives.
''These knives are as deadly as they come. These were made of cold hard steel and perfect for gutting other humans who cross our path. It had a blade that measured a foot long only weighed a pound. Very fast and powerful.'' Whisperers expert and leader 'Alpha' explained in a rather creepy tone.
''Those are some huge ass knives and to test that out we're gonna have you take out this gel bust. It represents human tissue pretty well and will allow us to see what kind of damage you can do. Are you up for it Alpha?'' DAM said.
''I have felled many other people for crossing into my territory so this will be no different.'' Alpha said with a crazy ass grin on her face.
''Dude, she's a creepy bitch.'' Rice Man whispered.
DAM didn't give the countdown as Alpha was seen shambling toward the gel bust like a walker which only served to unnerve the panelists. Even the Rippers expert, Deacon St. John who has returned was creeped out.
''What a creepy bitch.'' Deacon scowled.
Alpha then slowly turns around and looks at the panel.
''Well? Aren't you going to give me a countdown?'' asked the crazed woman.
''Uh sure! 3...2...1...attack!'' DAM called out.
Alpha slowly turned around to face the gel bust and drawing her two knives she starts it off by jamming the blades deep into the target's gut. She then slices outward while still in the body and a second later the target's intestines spill out along with a massive amount of stage blood earning a resounding cheer from the panel.
''Damn man! That's bloody!'' Demigod said in excitement.
Not wasting any time Alpha then jams one of the blades into the torso's neck with a sickening tear before pulling the knife out and proceeds to jam both blades into the target's chest. Letting go of the knives she then slowly turns to face the panel.
''Looks like I am done here.''
Zivon then walks over to assess the damage, ''Crap dude, you really did some crazy damage on this poor sap! Firstly you jammed those blades deep into the gut and while these two stabs won't kill in itself, he'll soon bleed out and it ain't gonna be pretty at all. However, you added some pizazz by slicing outward and as a result we have this disembowelment here and he'll die soon from massive trauma, blood loss and shock. Horrible way to go!''
''Talk about a lover's scorn injury.'' Rice Man said, pointing at the intestines on the floor.
''Yeah for real you then took one of those big ass knives and jammed it right in the neck cutting through the cervical spine getting another instant kill. Finally you stabbed this guy right in both his lungs for another kill.'' the good doctor explained.
''Those knives sure as hell are intimidating I will admit but you'll never get close to a Ripper with their melee weapon.'' Deacon interjected.
The Rippers respond to the Whisperer's dual assault with a weapon made to smash and bash.
''The most common weapon used by the Rippers was the Ripper Club. It was basically a suspension shock absorber you can get from vehicles attached to a handle. It was a little over 11 inches in length and was fairly lightweight, but very damaging.'' Deacon explained.
''It's gonna be the same test for you Deacon. We got a target set up with a walker mask for inspiration so you think you can screw this guy up?'' DAM asked.
''Hell yeah let's do it.''
Deacon then walks up to the gel torso with his Club in hand.
''Okay Deek on 3...2...1...smash it!'' DAM called out.
As if he was holding a baseball bat Deacon goes in for a full force swing to the target's head and when the weapon connects with it a loud cracking sound was heard echoing throughout the Fight Club causing every one else besides Alpha to wince at the noise. The force of the blow sends the torso wobbling slightly on its post before Deacon swings again. This time the impact was enough to pop the skull open sending brain matter and blood flying in the opposite direction. Deacon then finishes it off by bringing the Club downward popping the skull completely open.
''Like popping a water balloon.'' Deacon said with a smirk.
''You showed us how unexpectedly lethal improvised weapons can be! Holy cow you really popped the skull open with this. Gosh, your first hit registered 90 PSI which is a little more than enough to fracture the skull. But you swung that thing again and cracked the skull open sending some of his brains on the ground. He's now dead with just the second blow but the third one was overkill man. Sent the rest of his brains flying out leaving this mess. We have a dead Whisperer here gents!'' Zivon explained.
''Your weapon is purely improvised and while being able to do that is good when the world ends, our knives are far deadlier than your club.'' Alpha, who seemingly came out of nowhere chimed in.
''Holy shit where'd you come from?!'' Rice Man exclaimed in pure shock.
Both these weapons have shown us their lethality. In the end though, which one does the panel believe take the edge?
''Right off the bat I knew I was gonna give the edge to the knives. The Whisperers have two of them and they are more optional.'' DAM started off.
''Agreed. You can't deny the ingenuity and simplicity of the Ripper Club but it's just a bludgeoning weapon. Edge Whisperers.'' Zivon seconded.
''The Knives take this fairly easily. I mean come on! You can only get an instant kill if you smash someone's head with the Club.'' Demigod added.
''With the Frowny McTwo Knives you can gut someone easily, you can stab someone to death and the best part? You can decapitate someone if you wanted too. I gotta give the edge to the knives.'' Rice Man concluded.
In short range weapons, the edge goes to the Whisperers for the Dual MX8070 Knives.
Coming up! Two powerful shotguns blow the competition away and then later, Whisperers? Or Rippers? Only one group can be the Deadliest Warrior!
XXXXXX
Whisperers, the fierce survivor group who live off the land. Versus, the Rippers. The insane and ruthless cult who mercilessly murder all who cross them. If these two antagonistic groups met who would win?
When things went to mid-range both these groups brought in reliable shotguns to blow anything away be it living or infected. Up first will be the Rippers with the old school Winchester Model 1887.
''A common shotgun the Rippers used was the tried and true lever-action Winchester Model 1887. These are lever-action shotguns designed by American gun designer John Browning and produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It's 12 gauge, weighed 8 pounds and had a 5-round tubular magazine with 1 in the chamber.'' Deacon explained.
''We've wanted to see some lever-actions in action and I'm glad we have the chance to see this weapon. Here we set up a scenario that would be familiar with the Rippers and since they never attacked Freakers we have 5 gel targets ready for you Deacon and these represent a small group of Whisperers leading a small group of Walkers your way. Your only target though is the Whisperers who will wear ski masks since well, we aren't gonna skin real people or walkers for this. DAM said with a slight shiver.
''Well at least I don't have to see these busts wear real skin that would just be fucking disturbing.'' Deacon said in agreement.
''Alrighty Deek on my go. 3...2...1...BLOW EM AWAY!''
Deacon raises his shotgun and takes aim at cluster of targets and begins scanning for the ones wearing ski masks. He spots one somewhere in the left side of the group and fires hitting it square in the chest. He scans for more Whisperers in the group and spots another one and effortlessly fires a shot that hits the target right in the head destroying it in a bloody spectacle earning a cheer from the panel.
''Nice shot!'' Demigod called out.
Aiming once more he continues looking at the crowd and spots the third Whisperer target and fires off a round but it simply hits one of the unmasked targets and he quickly gets another round off hitting the Whisperer in the chest. He spots another and fires off another shot that blows the head off before spotting and finishing off the last two targets with rounds to the chest and neck respectively.
''Time! 40 seconds to kill all those Whisperers.'' DAM said.
''The Whisperers are all killed as you shot them in the head completely destroying it and preventing them from reanimating. I see some with rounds to the chest completely blowing out their chest cavities. One's been shot in the neck meaning you basically decapitated him with a shotgun and he's dead instantly. Oh and that walker was a free kill and even though it stood in the way of one of your targets you still took the shot and killed the Whisperer behind him with a blast to the chest blowing it open.'' Zivon explained.
''So Deek, how was it trying to spot the Whisperers among the walkers?'' Rice Man asked curiously.
''I'll admit it was definitely unnerving trying to kill those guys when they have their zombie horde surrounding them but I was able to identify who had to be killed in the crowd.'' Deacon answered, ''Really though these guys are some sick bastards wearing zombie skin and shit.''
''That is what our favorite tactic is and while you are wasting time looking for us the either the guardians will get you or I will.'' Alpha replied in her usual unsettling voice.
''Okay you're seriously creepy.'' DAM groaned.
The Whisperers fire back with a weapon perfect for delivering a one-two punch of buckshot, the Sawed-off Double Barreled Shotgun.
''This is a weapon I usually carry with me.'' Alpha said holding her gun for the panel to see, ''This is a Double Barreled Shotgun which is a break-action firearm with two parallel barrels, allowing two single shots that can be fired simultaneously or sequentially in quick succession. This one has the barreled sawed off allowing portability. It weighs 5 pounds and as you can see, fires two shots of buckshot.''
''It's gonna be the same test for you Alpha. We've set up a group of 5 Rippers charging at you and we will give you until they reached this white line in front of you to kill them off. When you're ready get into position.'' DAM said motioning toward the set up.
Alpha simply nods and shambles on over with her shotgun in hand and takes aim at the targets.
''Okay Alpha let's get this done. 3...2...1...FIRE AWAY!''
Alpha aimed at the first charging bot and fires off a round hitting it square in the face. With that target dealt with she sets her sights on the target next to it and fires her second shot hitting it in the chest and goes to reload her weapon.
''Well there's the reason why I wouldn't use a shotgun like that if I was faced with a group of charging madmen.'' Rice Man commented.
After loading two more shells she aims at another target and fires off the two shots in rapid succession completely obliterating the chest of one target. She goes to reload her weapon again and aims at a third stand in and fires off a round that hits it straight in the head blowing it to pieces before firing at the fourth target. She was about to reload her weapon but a buzzing sound was heard as the final stand in managed to reach the white line stopping her test.
Before Zivon could walk over Alpha simply shambles toward the last target and drawing a knife she jams it into the target's neck.
''Uh, that wasn't part of the test you already had your chance to take it out.'' Demigod said in disapproval.
Alpha turned around and looked at Demigod with pure annoyance in her eyes.
''You dare challenge me?''
''Alright relax everyone let me do my freaking assessment sheesh!'' Zivon said as he walks over, ''You killed all these guys with various shots to the body and head. Getting shot in the head with 12-gauge is literally gonna blow your head off and send your brain matter everywhere. The ones shot to the chest would suffer various injuries to the lung, heart and even the aorta.'' He then turns to face the target she stabbed, ''Well it's obvious you didn't kill him with the shotgun so even if you didn't stab him you still have one drugged up, bald headed mad man charging at you.''
''Keep in mind that the Rippers are on some drugs like PCP which makes them feel invincible and gives them a boost in durability. A real Ripper won't flinch even if they get shot.'' Deacon chimed in.
These shotguns have shown their incredible killing and stopping power but, which one do our experts believe take the edge?
''Right off the bat I'm giving this to the Winchester. It has more rounds which is crucial in the apocalypse.'' DAM started off.
''Same, both are highly damaging and can kill you in one shot but the Winchester outclasses the Double Barreled Shotgun any day of the week.'' Zivon seconded.
''More rounds, it's as simple as that. Edge Rippers.'' Demigod said.
''You also have to keep in mind that the Rippers are all drugged up. The Sawed-off Double Barreled Shotgun going up against a group of those bastards is not gonna save a Whisperer at all.'' Rice Man concluded.
In mid-range weapons, the edge goes to the Rippers for the Winchester Model 1887.
Coming up, two very different means of long ranged combat collide and then later, two antagonistic survivor groups meet.
XXXXXX
Now the time has come for both groups to unveil their preferred long range arsenals. Up first will be the Whisperers with a weapon originating from the ancient world, the Bow and Fire Arrows.
''The most common long range weapon amongst my pack would be this.'' Alpha said presenting a bow, ''This bow is perfect for silently killing any guardians that are unwanted or other humans who dare to draw my wrath. The bow measured a little over 3 feet in length and weighed 3 pounds.'' Alpha then takes a ball of something, ''This is tree sap and combining it with our fire arrows you can engulf areas in flames and we used it to great effect attacking the Hilltop.''
Due to the nature of this weapon Alpha will be accompanied by the panel in demonstrating the lethality of this weapon. The test scenario? Attack a Ripper camp containing 4 static targets. Since it takes 2 people to hold a sling and 1 loader as well as the archer, Alpha will be accompanied by Rice Man, Demigod and Zivon.
''Okay Alpha Rice Man and Demigod have the sling ready and Zivon will load and fire. Show us what your weapon is capable of.'' DAM said pointing toward the Ripper camp.
Alpha then nods at Rice Man and Demigod to hold the sling high for Zivon to load in a ball of sap. Zivon then pulls back as hard as he could and when he felt the lactic acid flaring up in his arms he fires off the ball of tree sap and sends it flying into the Ripper camp and when the ball hits the ground it pops spraying several of the targets with the substance. Zivon then loads another ball onto the sling and sends it flying into the camp spraying more targets with sap. He loads a third one and fire it covering several of the tents within the encampment with the sap.
''Alright that's done. Get those fire arrows in there.'' Rice Man said.
Nodding, Alpha strings a fire arrow onto her bow and aims high before sending it flying toward the encampment and a few seconds would pass before the arrow finally hits the ground between two stand ins and the flammable sap engulfing the surrounding area in flames. The two Ripper stand ins almost immediately catching fire in their entirety. Smirking at the sight Alpha sends her second arrow engulfing the other two targets in flames before sending her third and final arrow which proceeds to set the rest of the camp on fire. The panelists let the flames burn for a bit before calling the Fire Department to put the flames out.
''Damn that was some ingenuity there. Who knew fire arrows combined with flammable sap would make such a gnarly and intimidating weapon! I recorded temperatures over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit and that's more than enough to kill someone obviously. You would've burned these guys to the bone if you kept up your assault and all four targets are dead.'' Zivon explained.
''It is a genius tactic that even the Rippers will be intimidated by it. If we can burn the Hilltop to the ground we can with these Rippers as well.'' Alpha said creepily.
''It's a good weapon and concept, but with the Rippers they had sniper rifles and they'd gun you down before you get close to use this.'' Deacon interjected.
The Rippers respond to the ingenious, yet simple weapon system with a lethal long range killer.
''The M40 was a sniper that was common among the Rippers. It is a bolt-action sniper rifle used by the United States Marine Corps that comes in four variants: the M40, M40A1, M40A3, and M40A5. It had an effective firing range of 800 meters, weighed 14 pounds and use an internal box magazine with 5 rounds.'' Deacon explained holding his rifle for all the see.
''A very classic weapon that's earned its place in the history of firearms. We're gonna have you test it out with a single magazine so that means you gotta make these shots count because your test will be you to scope out and kill Whisperers among a group of walkers. Think you can do it? Oh, and that group will be on wheels so they'll slowly shamble their way toward you.'' DAM asked.
''Just spot the ones that look like they're wearing some skin suit, got it.'' Deacon said as he gets into position.
He loads in his 5 rounds and peeks into the scope and after being given the go from DAM Deacon begins to scan the small mob of gel torsos. Knowing what he was looking for he slowly scanned around with his sniper before spotting one target wearing a skin mask. Confirming his target he fires off a round that sails through the air and hits the target straight in the face getting his first kill. After cycling his next round he continues scanning around for the and after seeing two attack bots head in separate directions he spots an opening when he sees another target wearing a skin mask signifying that it is a Whisperer and fires hitting it.
''I can't imagine the pressure he's in right now considering what he needs to do.'' Demigod commented.
Cycling his third round he spots another opening when three 'walkers' split off in different directions revealing another Whisperer and Deacon wasted no time and fired the round hitting it in the chest and knocking it over. Soon he finally spotted his fourth and fifth target and effortlessly dispatched them with one bullet each.
''All done!'' Deacon called out.
Zivon then walks over to the small group and examines each target before concluding his assessment
''You hit the first Whisperer in the face, went straight through the cheekbone for an instant kill. You hit the second target in the neck and you managed to accurately hit the carotid artery so he'll bleed out withing seconds. Third target took one to the chest with a direct hit to the aorta, another instant kill. Fourth target got hit in the eye and the fifth you struck dead in the heart for two more instant kill.''
''So Deek, how did it feel trying to take out the Whisperers when they hide among the walkers?'' DAM questioned curiously.
''I'll admit it was a bit nerve-wracking considering their masks look almost identical to the walkers in their series. However, if you can distinguish between the two it shouldn't be hard to take them out.'' Deacon replied.
Two very different methods of long ranged combat have shown what they're capable of. Which one does the team believe take the edge?
''I'm 100% giving this one to the M40. It has a farther range and would transition between targets smoother.'' DAM started off.
''The added bonus for the Whisperers is that they have two methods to kill, but I would prefer the sniper rifle if I wanted to take out bad guys at long range.'' Zivon seconded.
''It's a very easy decision, the M40 greatly outclasses the Bow.'' Demigod added.
''I really like the tactic of using sap and then the arrows to light things on fire. You would perform really well if used with a large group but the M40 is still far deadlier and can pick out Whisperers among a horde. Edge M40.'' Rice Man concluded.
In long range weapons, the edge goes to the Rippers for the M40 Sniper Rifle.
Coming up, we test out the special weapons when a homemade bomb goes up against the Whisperers ultimate weapon!
XXXXXX
The time has now come for us to test out the favored special weapons of our warriors. Up first will be the Rippers with the simple, yet deadly Pipe Bomb.
''A pipe bomb is an improvised explosive device that uses a tightly sealed section of pipe filled with an explosive material. The containment provided by the pipe means that simple low explosives can be used to produce a relatively large explosion due to the containment causing increased pressure. The fragmentation of the pipe itself creates potentially lethal shrapnel.'' Deacon explained.
To test out the power of the Pipe Bomb our team has set up a small horde of walkers containing 20 targets. 5 of the foam torsos will once again dawn ski masks to represent Whisperers hiding among the horde. Every target will also be equipped with 50 and 100G shock patches to measure the power of the bomb.
''Okay Deek we're all set up so light em up!'' DAM called out.
Deacon lights up his first Pipe Bomb and chucks it into the small group of walkers and Whisperers. A few seconds later the bomb detonates taking out several of the group. Seeing that 2 of the destroyed targets were Whisperer stand ins Deacon wastes no time in lighting his second bomb and chucks it into the group and like before the bomb explodes after a few seconds.
The team heads over and after digging through the mangled corpses Zivon then moves in to give his assessment.
''Holy crap man this is some serious damage! The targets closest to the blast have both their shock patches tripped meaning that the explosive force was what killed them even if the shrapnel didn't. For the guys further away from the blast they don't have their patches tripped for the most part but I'm seeing a few with shrapnel wounds in areas such as the neck and face. Some have shrapnel to their uh, lower extremities leaving them severely injured but they can survive if they are taken to a hospital right away. In conclusion you managed to kill all the Whisperers walking among the horde as well as some walkers too.''
''For a weapon of the modern age I will admit it is very effective at crowd control and will give us trouble. But, will it yield the same results when you see what we have in store?'' Alpha questioned with a wicked smile plastered on her face.
To answer the Pipe Bomb's destructive power, the Whisperers respond with the most feared sight no person want to see in the apocalypse, the Walker Horde.
''If our group wanted to end another and send a message to make any potential enemy stay out of our way we would use our horde of the dead. Me and my people managed to form a horde of over 10,000. Perfect for destroying any community no matter how armed or fortified they are. Keep in mind that my group are capable of guiding the Guardians to any intended target and if you run away we will simply hunt you down with the horde.'' Alpha explained.
The team now heads out to the range due to the severe danger this weapon will pose to the Fight Club. The panel has placed a group of 10 Gel Busts to represent unfortunate survivors.
''Wait, how are we gonna test something like this out? We don't have enough money to hire an army of strong men.'' DAM questioned curiously.
Strangely enough, down in the massive field below them a portal opens up and a few seconds later a massive horde of Walkers emerge from it and the stench of so many rotting Walkers almost made the panelists puke. Alpha only watched in amusement at their plight and simply looked on as the huge ass horde slowly advanced to the busts. After a few minutes the horde reaches where the targets were and began to devour and tear the stand ins apart. Despite hearing their moans and groans the panel could still hear the gel flesh being torn and after several minutes the horde finishes devouring the torsos before Rice Man brings out an Mk 19 Grenade Launcher and an M249 SAW and a bunch of M67 grenades, an M224 Lightweight Mortar and an M2 Browning to round up his weapons line up.
''Alright I don't know what the hell that sorcery was but I'm gonna get rid of these guys. This'll be a minute fellas.''
Rice Man then fires off all the rounds he had for the Grenade Launcher, before using the mortar and chucks all his hand grenades before moving on to the SAW and expends all his M249's bullets. Getting on the Browning he fires off all the rounds and it would take almost an hour before the horde was finally destroyed. Zivon then looks through a pair of binoculars since he didn't want to go down there and get a front row seat to the scent of rotting flesh before he gives his assessment.
''I miss the Army so much.'' Rice Man said.
''Gross! So from what I can observe with the binoculars the gel busts were stripped down to the bone. Some even have their heads and limbs ripped out their bodies and that makes sense too since the Walkers are not limited in their grip strength since they're dead. There's no way anyone is surviving a horde this huge even with guns.'' Zivon explained, shivering slightly at the thought of being ripped apart.
''I got nothing to say against this however, I would have no problem taking down a horde of zombies. I've taken out Freaker hordes so this is nothing to me.'' Deacon said confidently, ''Though the stench is worse than Freaker's shitting.''
Both the Whisperers and Rippers have shown us their special weapons. Which one do our experts believe takes the edge? They appear to be unanimous.
''This is one of if not the easiest edge to decide. The Walker Horde is such an intimidating weapon that can easily cause the Rippers to make mistakes and die in the process. Edge Whisperers.'' DAM started off.
''Just the sounds of so many Walkers and the smell adds a massive intimidation factor in favor of the Whisperers. You're definitely gonna be panicking and making mistakes that will cost you your life which is why I give the Whisperers the edge.'' Zivon seconded.
''There's way too many Walkers to deal with and Rice Man only did it because he had a distance, a ranged advantage, explosives and lots of bullets. The Rippers have nothing besides the Pipe Bomb but even that isn't enough. Edge Whisperers.'' Demigod added.
''The Rippers literally have nothing to answer the number of the Walker Horde. They can carry so many Pipe Bombs and even if they use it all up they still have thousands of Walkers coming at them! Being ripped and torn apart is something that even being on PCP won't save them. Edge Whisperers.'' Rice Man concluded.
In special weapons, the Whisperers take an overwhelming edge with their Walker Horde.
Coming up, Metal Harbinger will evaluate the x-factors and then our battle between the most dangerous and antagonistic survivor groups begins!
XXXXXX
Welcome back to the Fight Club. Here we tested the weapons of two antagonistic survivor groups to determine who is deadliest.
For short range weapons, the Dual MX8070 Knives cut down the Ripper Club
''It has options, operates more smoothly and there's two of them.'' DAM explained.
Edge: Whisperers
For mid-range weapons, the extra shells of the Winchester Model 1887 outgunned the Sawed-off Double Barreled Shotgun.
''It's got more rounds, there really isn't much else to say.'' Zivon explained.
Edge: Rippers
For long range weapons, the superior range and one shot, one kill ability of the M40 Sniper extinguished the Bow and Fire Arrows.
''It has range and will be much faster and getting shots down range. Oh and it operates more smoothly as well.'' Demigod explained.
Edge: Rippers
And finally, the intimidation factor and massive numbers of the Walker Horde proved too much for the Pipe Bomb to handle.
''Sure the Pipe Bomb can reduce the number of Walkers but there's still too many to handle. You need a damn nuke to destroy the horde!'' Rice Man explained.
Edge: Whisperers
Now, our resident Metalhead and Computer Wizz Metal Harbinger will gauge the X-Factors of the warriors.
''Starting off with organization we're gonna give this one to the Whisperers. They have a defined structure with the Alpha as the pack leader followed by a Beta as the second-in-command. There also is the case of a Gamma being anointed and from what we've seen the Rippers are organized too but not the way the Whisperers are. 90 to an 80 respectively.''
''Next is intimidation and the Whisperers were the overwhelming winner in this case. It comes from them wearing Walker masks that allow them to blend in with hordes of zombies and if you confront them with no prior knowledge you won't know you'll have a 'walker' walking up to you and stabbing you in the back. Not to mention the massive horde they have is more frightening than some drugged up Rippers charging you with clubs. The Whisperers scored a perfect 100 to the Rippers' 90.''
''For brutality this one was a close comparison but in the end I gave it to the Rippers. They mercilessly killed or captured anyone who were unlucky enough to cross them and those who were captured had their legs broken and were tied up to be left at the mercy of the Freakers who would rip them apart. While the Whisperers would behead you and use your zombified head to mark territory the Rippers and their methods are worse. It's still razor thin with a 95 for the Rippers to the Whisperers' 94.''
''Fourth is physicality and this one went to the Rippers as lots of members are jacked up on PCP which gives them some more durability and gives them higher pain tolerance than the average person meaning taking one down even with firearms will be a bit of a challenge. The Whisperers usually are of average build so the Rippers get a 91 to an 86.''
''Last but not least we have killer instinct and this one was a tough one to decide but in the end I had to give it to the Whisperers for the sole purpose that they will cut your head off, put it on a pike and leave it to rot just to mark their territory. Alpha on one instance had one of her followers sacrifice their baby to the walkers and it is that kind of cruelty that makes them more dangerous as killers compared to the Rippers. 98 to a 96 respectively.''
Now that the X-Factors are completed our panel will now run the simulator 1,000 times in a battle to the death. The battle will pit 5 Whisperers against 5 Rippers.
Which cruel survivor group will exterminate the other?
Survivor
(Whisperers are seen watching as one of their own deceased begin to reanimate, ready to join their horde of guardians.)
vs. Survivor
(Rippers are seen attacking a small camp near Lost Lake and viciously murder every inhabitant with their Clubs.)
Walking amongst the dead
(Whisperers are seen leading a massive horde of walkers toward the Alexandria Safe Zone ready to tear down the walls.)
vs. Worshipping the Freaks
(Rippers are seen getting on their knees and wait as a small group of Freakers charge at them ready to tear them to pieces.)
''In the end, only one group will survive. Let's see who it is.'' Metal said before pressing the button.

We are taken to a large area somewhere within the Iron Butte region within Oregon. The area was revealed to be a golf resort and was the home base of the Rest In Peace cult or as they were known by others, the Rippers. The view shifts toward the interior of the main building and we see several bald men and women with various scars on their bodies and torn clothing.
This group was revealed to be the last remnants of the Rippers as they had been pushed back to their home base following clashes with a survivor group out of Virginia that wore the skin of the infected.
Rippers: 5
After suffering many losses against the unknown group the last Rippers were armed and ready to make their last stand at their home base. The Rippers were seen snorting PCP to prepare themselves for the long fight they knew was coming. For all they knew their new opponents wore the dead's skin.
Down the road leading up to the resort a massive horde of walkers, probably 1,000 strong was seen shambling toward the Ripper base.
Among the group of moaning and growling zombies there were several men and women wearing masks made of Walker skin slowly walking among the horde. After they were driven from Virginia thanks to the Coalition the revealed Whisperers were forced out west where they will begin anew.
Whisperers: 5
The lead Whisperer who was in the middle of the pack slowly looked up to see the resort down the road and motioned for his comrades to lead the horde in that direction. The sounds of the many growling walkers alerted the Rippers as they approached the resort the lead Ripper takes notice of the approaching mass of corpses and orders his comrades to grab their M40 snipers.
''They have come for us! We shall show them the way!'' shouted a Ripper.
After grabbing their rifles the Rippers take positions near the windows and began aiming at the mass of walkers. They begin blindly firing at the crowd taking down several of the walkers in the process but that did little to deter the Whisperers. Knowing that the main building would be heavily fortified the lead Whisperers orders 3 of his colleagues to take a position behind some broken down cars to use their tree sap and fire arrows.
''Go...fire away...'' whispered the Whisperer.
The 3 other Whisperers in question slowly disperse from the crowd with one holding a sling, the other holding a few balls of sap and the third holding her bow leaving the other two to lead the horde toward the building. The 3 Whisperers soon got into position behind a few broken down pickup trucks and two take the sling and hold it in place while the third placed a ball of sap onto it and pulled back with all her might. She then sends the sap flying toward one of the windows and in a one in a million shot gets it right through the window splattering the sap onto one of the Rippers.
The Ripper was caught off guard and began to sniff the unknown substance when a fire arrow flies through the window and hits him in the shoulder. However, he was immediately set ablaze and was left thrashing about as even the PCP couldn't prevent him from feeling such horrendous pain and soon he was burned to death.
Rippers: 4 - Whisperers: 5
Another ball of sap flies through the window followed shortly by a fire arrow and sets the room on fire but the flames go unnoticed by the Rippers thanks to their drugged up states. However, there was some progress for the cultists when one of them in a one in a million shot shoots a Whisperer who was guiding the walker horde toward them was shot straight through the eye killing him.
Rippers: 4 - Whisperers: 4
The Whisperer's lifeless body falling over prompting the walkers nearest him to being devouring his body. Noticing this the female Whisperer who was with him simply watched on and decided not to waste time and effort in rounding up the walkers that were feeding.
There was still enough in the horde to tear the building down.
The Whisperer's who were using the bow, sap and fire arrows ran out of ammunition and began heading toward their horde to rejoin their comrade. After shambling their way through the crowd of undead they managed to regroup and continued to guide their army to the building. Even though the remaining Rippers were drugged up they still were noticeable of the obvious threat coming their way.
The Rippers all reached into their pockets and pulled out a pipe bomb, each for themselves and they proceed to light up the explosives just as the horde began entering the parking lot. They then toss the explosives hoping to catch some of those Whisperers in the blast. The Pipe Bombs all fly toward the horde and explode in quick succession and in the ensuing blast the female Whisperer is killed in the blast along with the walkers around her.
Her lifeless corpse sent flying from the blast.
Rippers: 4 - Whisperers: 3
Her loss did nothing to deter her remaining colleagues as they were solely focused on finishing off the Rippers. So they continue on with the horde in tow. Soon the Rippers run out of sniper bullets prompting two to reach for their club while the others pull out their shotguns.
''Let them come! We will show them the path!'' declared the lead Ripper.
The Whisperers finally make their way to the door of the building and slowly back off to allow the walkers to begin banging on the entrance in hopes of getting in and with the amount they had it was take only a few minutes before the door finally gave way allowing the massive horde to break into the lobby. Almost immediately the Rippers who had shotguns began to open fire on the horde blowing several of the walkers to pieces and taking them out of the fight.
This did little to deter the horde as they pile into the lobby filling it up with their numbers almost immediately but what the Rippers didn't know was that the Whisperers snuck in with the walkers and one Ripper who was too busy pumping buckshot into the horde failed to notice one of the Whisperers had snuck around him as he was too focused on the horde to notice what was going on.
Drawing his knife the Whisperer sneaks up on the bald headed woman and jams one of his massive knives into her back while using the other to stab into her neck. The Ripper did nothing as she choked on cold steel before finally passing.
Rippers: 3 - Whisperers: 3
One of the Rippers armed with his club, feeling invincible thanks to his PCP intake raises his club high and begins to charge toward the walker horde and begins bashing the skulls of several walkers in getting a good amount of kills.
Thanks to his superhuman like abilities granted by the narcotic he pushes off several walkers who managed to get ahold of him and while he was distracted with that anther Whisperer emerges from the horde with his Sawed-off shotgun in hand and fires off a shot that blows open the Ripper's chest. The body is sent flying into a nearby wall from the force and a group of walkers begin feasting on his body.
Rippers: 2 - Whisperers: 3
The Whisperer, realizing he just screwed up is immediately surrounded by a nearby group of his 'Guardians' and ends up being devoured in the process.
''Shit! Argh!''
He could only flail around as the dead began ripping him to shreds. One walker tears his head off and his screaming becomes high pitched as the body part is slowly torn from the body.
Rippers: 2 - Whisperers: 2
''There's too many! Fall back let's go!'' shouted the lead Ripper.
The two Rippers then charge toward a rear exit but when they opened the door they were greeted to another group of walkers that had converged on the other side of the building effectively trapping them inside. They close the door as quickly as they could but their efforts were futile as a dozen smash their way through the door forcing them to look for another way out. They turn and head into the nearby kitchen which was thank goodness walker free and they take an emergency exit out which takes them to the back side of the parking lot.
However, they were greeted by another section of the horde forcing them to divert course again. They turn around to head inside the building only to run into another group of walkers. A lead Ripper raises his shotgun and kills the first walker he saw but was greeted by a charging Whisperer who had his knife drawn but the skin wearing man was killed with a single blast from his Winchester that blows his head off before he takes off running leaving his comrade behind.
Rippers: 2 - Whisperers: 1
Even though he was alone his colleague takes his club and goes charging into the horde in a drug induced rage and begins bashing many skulls in.
''Raaaaah! This is the path!''
The Ripper manages to take out a large portion of the horde but again, due to him being drugged up he never noticed how he had already been bitten multiple times and it would be too late when the final Whisperer, having grabbed his cohort's shotgun pumps a shell into his back. The shot powerful enough to send him flying into the walker horde who begin ripping him to shreds.
Rippers: 1 - Whisperers: 1
The Whisperer sneers as he watches the walkers tear the corpse to pieces before turning and tailing the last Ripper. Elsewhere in the nearby road the lone Ripper was seen running down the road toward what looked like a ranch and he was amazed at how he was able to run past the mass of walkers that plagued the road. He manages to take down a few in the process until he made his way into the ranch only to find more walkers shambling about.
Knowing there was no way out of this he simply loads his remaining shells into his shotgun and begins firing blindly at any walker he saw.
''You will be shown the path you rotting fools!''
He shoots down every walker that came toward him and eventually he ran out of ammunition prompting him to draw his remaining weapon, his club. With that he begins bashing the skulls in of multiple walkers in a drug induced rage and after what seemed like forever he stops after seeing he had singlehandedly cleared out the horde that was in the ranch and he raises his hands into the air and shouts in victory.
His celebration was cut short when he heard more moaning and growling only to see more of the horde coming toward him from all directions. He only smirks to himself with a rather sickening glee and raises his club for another killing spree and watches as the horde draws near.
What he truly failed to notice however was with the horde, the last Whisperer shambled toward him in a quicker pace than the walkers around him with his knives drawn and as he comes within arm's reach of the Ripper the bald man turns around to which the Whisperer responds by thrusting one of his knives into the man's gut making him cry in pain despite his drug intake.
The Whisperer then moves his face closer to the Ripper's
''You will serve me as a Guardian...'' whispered the Whisperer.
The Whisperer then guts the man alive and he falls on his knees to try and hold in his intestines. With his job done the Whisperer slowly steps away as the massive horde closes in on the Ripper and he was left at the mercy of the walkers who begin feeding on him.
Even though they had already ripped his chest cavity open the Ripper was laughing maniacally.
''Holy shit! Haha!'' the Ripper laughed, but a few seconds would pass before he began to lose consciousness, ''This is..the path...I will...take...''
Just then a walker begins tearing his face off while another rips his lower jaw right off while a third began to gouge the eyes out. A few seconds later the walkers had begun to tear his rib cage out and fed on his internal organs, blood splattering everywhere and soon he was torn in half.
Rippers: 0 - Whisperers: 1
The surviving Whisperer only looks on as his Guardians feasted upon the body with more slowly joining in. He simply glares coldly at the sight in silent victory, having nothing to say.

In what would be a rather one-sided battle, it would be the Whisperers who proved far deadlier. It was thanks to their ultimate weapon, the Walker Horde which scored over 455 kills making it not only the deadliest weapon in the simulation, but also the deadliest weapon in the entire fic's history. In the end, the Rippers had nothing that could deal with the extreme intimidation and numbers of the horde.
''This was a really one-sided fight and it makes sense why the Whisperers won so highly. They were the more focused group and weren't on drugs like the Rippers were and had more success in inflicting damage to their enemies.'' DAM explained.
''While the PCP helped the Rippers on several occasions like making them feel unstoppable and allowing them to not feel any type of pain therefore allowing them to fight on as they get hurt they still couldn't fight off the massive horde the Whisperers had. In the end it goes to show that drugs just won't help you at all.'' Zivon seconded.
''Yeah, it makes sense, they had the explosive power of the Pipe Bomb but they can have so many. Plus, being that drugged up would make them reckless and open to mistakes. Also, I'm gonna say that if we gave the Whisperers just the Walker Horde they could definitely win it with just that.'' Demigod said.
''While the Rippers were a tough group and extremely dangerous in their own way, they were not used to dealing with another group as intimidating and ruthless as the Whisperers who could strategize accordingly to deal with them. Looks like the only path the Rippers will take is becoming part of the Walker Horde. If the Rippers taught us anything it's that you shouldn't do drugs!'' Rice Man concluded before he took out a bong and goes to take a big rip from it, ''Except pot, that shit's dank!''
''I'm not worked up about losing a second time. The Rippers are all some crazy fuckers so good riddance like with Colonel Garret.'' Deacon said shrugging his shoulders, ''By the way, when do I get my turn in a match?''
''This only serves as evidence that we are the most dangerous group within the Walking Dead. These Rippers only serve to be my Guardians and would be wise to stay off my land.'' Alpha whispered in a very creepy tone.
DAM then takes out a speaker and begins playing 'Monster Mash'.
Rice Man then ran up to DAM, grabs the speaker and shuts it off.
''No! I heard enough of that in middle school!''
(The lone Whisperer was seen leading the Walker Horde down an abandoned highway. Having rebuilt his horde he leads them to their next destination, wherever it is. In his army were all the Rippers who had reanimated as well as his dead colleagues.)

Author's Note: Well I sure hope you guys enjoyed this fight and I had a blast writing it and I told you I would update on Halloween as promised. As a side note I am still tinkering around with the planned fights and if you have suggestions you are more than welcome to send them my way! Oh and with what Deacon said in the end yes, he will appear in his own matchup that I planned on doing after 'Stone Ninja vs. Firebender' but Metal Harbinger used him recently so I want to wait a bit before Deacon fights in my fic. His opponent? Rick Grimes as he appears from The Walking Dead tv series.
