Takeda Takahashi vs Ravager (Rose Wilson)

Description
The children of two legendary swordfighters duke it out: Rose Wilson, estranged daughter of Deathstroke, and Takeda Takahashi, whip master and student of Scorpion.

Prelude
Wiz: Fortunate children, throughout their lives, love their parents, usually no matter what. Through thick and thin, kids and their parents have a tight, unbreakable bond.

'''Boomstick: But nope, not these kids. The Ravager, Rose Wilson...'''

Wiz: ...and Takeda Takahashi, Shirai Ryu warrior.

Boomstick: He's Wiz, and I'm Boomstick...

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.

Takeda Takahashi
Wiz: Takeda Takahashi was born in Lampang, Thailand, to a woman named Suchin and her husband, Kenshi.

'''Boomstick: When the kid was eight, his mom was killed by a clan called the Red Dragon. Kenshi set out to avenge her death, and sent Takahashi to Shirai Ryu Boot Camp, where he was taught to fight by the legendary demon warrior, Hanzo Hasashi. And after around a decade, Daddy dearest came back.'''

Wiz: You can guess how that turned out. He got into a heated battle with him, only to find out that his father was holding back. After talking some reason into him with the help of Hanzo, Takeda joined a special forces team consisting of Cassie Cage (Johnny Cage's and Sonya Blade's daughter), Kung Jin (Kung Lao's cousin), Jacqui Briggs (Jax's daughter), and Takeda himself.

Boomstick: After saving the world from an evil sorceror that wasn't Quan Chi or Shang Tsung for once, Takeda and his dad, now best friends, took down the Red Dragon, avenging Suchin's death.

Wiz: Shirai Ryu members were also infused with Jinsei afterwards, giving them some insane durablilty.

Boomstick: For example, Takeda tanked a blast of power from Shinnok's amulet, a blast that nearly killed Kotal Kahn, a tough Underworld warlord.

Wiz: Keep in mind, this was before he was infused with the Jinsei.

Boomstick: Or that time he fought an angry empowered storm god and was electrocuted for six straight seconds, and survived.

Wiz: Again, without the Jinsei.

Boomstick: That basically makes him a living tank, now that he has the Jinsei.

Wiz: Takeda isn't just a tank, either; he's dished out plenty of damage.

Boomstick: His weapons of choice are explosive kunai and plasma blades, but his signature weapons are his bladed whips.

Wiz: These whips can sever limbs with zero problem. His plasma sword can vertically cut one in half, and his explosive kunai has an insane knockback factor. But he doesn't need them to deal damage.

Boomstick: Takeda can break arms at the elbow effortlessly, and he can also crack open skulls with a simple hammer kick.

Wiz: The average hammer kick can break a brick, but a skull is more than four times stronger than concrete. This blow must mean he deals more than half a ton of damage with his legs. He also has a tornado kick and a barrage of fists, where his fists move at about 70 miles an hour.

Boomstick: Hell, the guy's ripped an arm out of its socket!

Wiz: It can take up to 3.5 tons of force for someone to rip an arm off like that.

'''Boomstick: And he does it with absolutely no effort! It's like he rips them off on a daily basis!'''

Wiz: His abilities include near-instant teleportation, the ability to overload one's senses, making the opponent pass out.

'''Boomstick: Hell, the guy even has a move where he does that "Get Over Here" thing Scorpion does, then punches the opponent across the face! He's taken on zombies, too!'''

Wiz: They're actually called revenants, re-animated copies of corpses.

'''Boomstick: So yeah. Zombies.'''

Wiz: Whatever you say. He's also taken on Erron Black, a master gunslinger, Reptile, an insanely fast Zaterran, and Ermac, the most powerful telepath in Mortal Kombat history!

'''Boomstick: I wouldn't call Erron Black a master gunslinger. He just hits people with them and runs towards people with his guns outward. He doesn't actually shoot things.'''

Wiz: As I was saying, Takeda is a master duelist, and has fighting skills on par with Scorpion.

Boomstick: But the kid's almost as cocky as Ken Masters.

Wiz: He will constantly say smart aleck remarks during battle.

Boomstick: And while he's got on quite the armor, it's not going to protect him from sharp things like swords.

Wiz: Despite all this, Takeda will protect his friends and family, no matter the cost.

Takeda: Alright, I've got this.

Cassie Cage: You've got what, exactly?

Takeda: Trust me.

Rose Wilson, The Ravager
Wiz: Rose Wilson Worth was born to Lillian Worth after the woman had an affair with the infamous mercenary, Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke. Thinking that keeping Rose's existence a secret to Deathstroke, because it was in the child's best interests, she hid Rose from Slade. Suspicions arose when Deathstroke was a fugitive to the law and Worth tended to hs wounds. Wintergreen, Slade's butler, found a 14 year old Rose and thought that she was Slade's daughter.

'''Boomstick: When Deathstroke's half brother, Wade DeFarge, aka Ravager, kills almost all of Deathstroke's family and friends, and capturing Rose in the process, Worth and Wintergreen, hatch a plan to rescue her. Worth ends up driving off a cliff in an attempt to run over DeFarge, but Wintergreen escaped with Rose in safety.'''

Wiz: Rose failed in reaching out to her father, for he believed that he had caused the death of his two sons, and he feared for her safety, for he thought he had almost caused her death, as well.

'''Boomstick: She ended up joining the Teen Titans under the name Ravager, but left soon afterwards. Slade Wilson would end up coming back and helping her defeat Superman, but turns out he was a dick and the Kryptonite eye he gave her was slowly giving her cancer and killing her.'''

Wiz: She severed all ties with him afterwards, feeling betrayed. She became a mercenary like good ol' Pops.

Boomstick: But this girl doesn't need her dad, 'cuz she's got an arsenal that lets her hold her own pretty well.

Wiz: She has twin katanas, strong enough to impale and kill Superboy, and a suit not unlike her dad's. She has a personal suit of armor, as well.

'''Boomstick: The Ravager Suit is light, and it's resistant to small arms fire and normal injuries caused by blunt force trauma. It doesn't have that juicy regeneration her daddy has, but it's close enough. She can still get stabbed, though.'''

Wiz: She's more agile than a cat: she's dodged sniper fire, and jumped off of high rises and landed on the ground below perfectly.

'''Boomstick: She's also tanked heavy blasts from Thunder, an energy blast strong enough to carve a pretty deep crater into the earth's surface. Rose has got more than just a little muscle, too: she can bench press ten times her own weight, and she's bitchslapped Fairchild so hard she was knocked unconscious for a pretty long time. But, wait: there's more!'''

Wiz: She can, with the help of a drug, predict her opponent's moves, and she has a power that drains generic strengths like super strength, super speed, and invulnerability.

Boomstick: But, like everyone else, the Ravager still has her fair share of weaknesses.

Wiz: She's a huge adrenaline junkie, and she's always looking for the more adventurous way to do things, no matter how challenging it is.

'''Boomstick: And the inhaler Rose uses to trigger those enemy predicting powers? It runs out pretty quickly, and the effects the drug makes don't last for very long either.'''

Wiz: She's also quite vulnerable to stealthy characters like Batgirl. Also, just like Takeda, she's not immune to blades, and she can still have a limb chopped off or something like that.

'''Boomstick: Yeah, but when you're the daughter of an assassin, you've got expectations to live up to. And Rose does more than live up to them.'''

My name is Rose Wilson.

I was hired to keep Superboy alive on the field, or kill him should he get out of control.

Apparently, I failed on both accounts.

Battle Intro
Wiz: All right, the combatants are set, let's settle this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!

Battle
Takeda is warming his hands over a fire outside the Lin Kuei Temple. He was hired for guard duty: Sub-Zero was expecting a 'visitor', and most of his guard was asleep in the barracks; only two guards were outside. Takeda is almost alone in the night, until he spots a shadow in the distance. He hears a body drop to the floor, and another one not long after.

"Who's there?"

Suddenly, he is grabbed by the shoulder and has a blade to his neck. It's the Ravager.

"Where's the ice guy?"

Takeda teleports away.

"Not telling you."

"Guess I'll have to kill you, too, then."

Fight!
(I Wanna Get Better-Bleachers)

Takeda throws his whips out, wrapping them around her ankles, tripping her. He pulls her toward him, and he spins up into the air, drop kicking her. She rolls out of the way. She jumps upwards and cuts the whip off. Then, he pulls out his plasma blades and bashes her in the forehead with the hilt. She staggers backwards. Takeda attacks her with a flurry of his blades. She dodges the last hit with a cartwheel. What she didn't notice wa the explosive kunai on her foot. It detonates, almost sweeping her off her feet.

"Unpredictable." She pulls out an inhaler and takes a puff. "I like it."

She runs forward. Takeda throws a volley of kunai at the ground towards her legs, but she jumps over them. He then clicks his blades together, and a spark flashes towards her. She dives out of the way and slices him in the gut. He then makes another charge at her with his blade. She jumps out of the way. Then, she picks him up and follows through with another barrage of her katanas.

"Oh, look. A decline." She looks down the cliff, smiling. "Wouldn't it be fun if..."

She grabs him by the neck and throws him down. He grapples onto the edge of the cliff, then wraps his other whip around her wrist.

"Not today!" He yells, pulling her down. She falls down the cliff. Takeda jumps down after her.

The Ravager lands perfectly on her feet. Takeda grapples onto a tree branch, then grapples her mid-air, pulling himself towards her and kicking her in the face. Rose, now in mid-air, slashes her blades downwards towards Takeda. He tries to teleport again, but be fails and is knocked backwards.

"You're probably wondering why you can't use your power's, boy." She smiles, and uses her inhaler again. "Guess I've just got that aura."

She attacks with another combo of blades, but he blocks the last hit with a plasma blade. He then attacks her with a quick barrage of his whips, then throws his plasma blade behind her. He recalls it, and it slices her across the side of her hip.

"Shit!"

"Having fun yet?" Takeda smiles.

"You're going to be the one having fun in a second!" The Ravager screams, rage in her eyes.

She pulls out her inhaler and puts it to her mouth. This time, Takeda incinerates it with a spark from his blades.

"Wha-"

He throws a volley of kunai. She is knocked backwards into a tree. Then, Takeda makes a charge at her. He cuts the tree in half, but the Ravager is nowhere to be seen.

She jumps from the shadows, slicing him across the shin, then attacking him with a cyclone of blades. Takeda, bloody and bruised, is on his knees, coughing blood.

"I hope you learn something from this." She smiles. "You don't fuck with a mercenary, boy."

She raised her blade for the killing blow, but she is interrupted.

"You got something on your back, by the way," Takeda smiles.

Three kunai are lodged into Rose's spine. They detonate, blowing a gaping hole into her stomach area and killing her.

Takeda slowly gets up and sighs.

"What a day."

'''
K.O!=='''==== Takeda is seen grappling back upwards to the temple.

Ravager's body turns the snow on the ground red.

Outcome
Wiz: This was an extremely close match. While Rose Wilson had the edge in fighting skill, she couldn't keep up with Takeda's diverse arsenal.

'''Boomstick: The Ravager's got a pretty simple arsenal: twin katanas. Takeda had plasma blades, whips, and explosive kunai.'''

Wiz: And Rose's way of looking at thing the adventurous way made mer make some dumb decisions. Takeda caught up with the inhaler thing, as well.

Boomstick: And while Rose, a highly trained mercenary, tanked crater-making energy blasts, Takeda's taken multiple blasts from Shinnok's Amulet without his Jinsei durability boost.

Wiz: Now, imagine his durability with that Jinsei boost on top of it.

Boomstick: I guess Rose just didn't have the stomach for it.

Wiz: The winner is Takeda Takahashi.

Fun Facts About This Death Battle

 * This battle was supposed to be a tie, with Ravager killing Takeda, then having the kunai on her back explode, but I was told I needed to have a clear winner, so I decided to make Takeda win because of his arsenal and his amazing reflexes.
