Raven VS Pride

Raven vs Pride is a What If? episode of Death Battle. It fatures Raven from Teen Titans and Pride from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Description
The Titan of magic dealing with the darkness battles against the first Homunculus created by Father to house the sin of pride that he purged from his body in a battle of the shadows.

Intro
Wiz: Emerging from the shadows, these two wielders of the dark are massively powerful, and dangerous. Raven, a half-human, half-demon hybrid member of the Teen Titans,

'''Boomstick: And Pride, the first Homunculus. 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.

Raven
Wiz: Raven, a founding member of the Teen Titans in the television series, is a dangerously powerful being, but thankfully uses her powers for good.

Boomstick: Quite similar to the Edgar Allan Poe-m-

Wiz: "Edgar Allan Poe-m?" Really?

'''Boomstick: Yes. Quite similar to the Edgar Allan Poe-m where her name comes from, as well as an episode that literally takes place in her mind, she is rather gothic and melancholic.'''

Wiz: But this is not to rebel against an optimistic lifestyle or for attention. In order to maintain a safe control of her powers, her emotions must be suppressed. This isn't made any easier by the many many antics of the rest of the team, especially Beast Boy.

Boomstick: I don't know, I think they're kinda cute.

"Hmm. Maybe you should call me...Beast Man from now on."

"We're having a moment here. Don't ruin it."

Wiz: Raven's powers include psionic abilities, which revolve around paranormal phenomenon, empathy, telekinesis, telepathy, thought projection, spiritual powers, the mystic arts, and elemental magic.

Boomstick: She also has necromancy, dark and light magic, soul sealing, and enhanced knowledge on runes.

Wiz: She even at one point had the ability of time immobilization,

Boomstick: Isn't that the same episode where Slade looked like he was gonna do some questionable things with Raven?

Wiz: It was exactly that episode. Though, the ability to stop time wasn't even able to stop Slade.

'''Boomstick: Do you think that has anything to do with his healing factor? I mean, it stops Deadpool from being mind controlled somehow.'''

Wiz: I... doubt it. Although Raven suppresses her emotions, she still can be unpredictable when provoked. This was shown when all of her emotions combined together in one being to stop a mental manifestation of her father, being aided by both Cyborg and Beast Boy.

'''Boomstick: Did we mention that the entirety of that fight took place in Raven's brain? That's right, Cyborg and Beast boy literally got in her head because of a magic mirror she just had lying around which she apparently uses for meditation.'''

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

Pride
"I am the first homunculus. My name is Pride."

Wiz: Pride. The first Homunculus created by Father when trying to cleanse himself of the seven deadly sins.

Boomstick: This is not to be confused with the Pride from Fullmetal Alchemist, who was a completely different character.

Wiz: This is true. In Fullmetal Alchemist, the 2003 series, Pride was a completely different character, being embodied by Führer Bradley. The 2003 series also had changed the characters of Wrath and Sloth. But, in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Führer Bradley is instead the embodiment of Wrath, an entirely different character is Sloth, and then there's Pride, embodied by the small child body of Selim Bradley.

Boomstick: Isn't it a bit weird that Wrath and Pride are pretty much brothers, Pride being the oldest and Wrath being the youngest, but Wrath looks like an old man and acts as the father of Pride's human alter ego, which is a young boy?

Wiz: It is, just a bit.

"Appearances rarely show the whole truth."

Wiz: Pride is the embodiment of the sin of his namesake, and is even nicknamed "Pride the Arrogant." His true form is made up of shadows, looking quite similar to that of the original form of Father, further showing the influence the sin of pride has on him.

'''Boomstick: Pride has pretty much no chill with his ruthlessness. Hell, he ate his own brother who eats everything. Yes, Pride ate Gluttony, the one who embodies the sin of eating.'''

Wiz: Pride's arrogance tied with his powers make him a highly formidable foe. Pride has the ability to manipulate his own shadow into his true, shadowy form to trap and impale his enemies.

Boomstick: Not to mention that he gained Gluttony's enhanced sense of smelling after eating him.

"Ah, this should make things much easier, I can practically smell movement you make. I could do without the ravenous hunger, but I suppose I'll just have to secede it. Oh wait...I recognize that scent. You're somewhere close by aren't you? Hohenheim?"

Wiz: Like all Homunculi, Pride's core is a Philosopher's Stone: a stone made up of the souls of sacrificed humans. The Philosopher's Stone gives the Homunculi a healing factor that even puts Deadpool's to shame.

Boomstick: When destroyed, a Homunculi can regenerate their old bodies in a manner of seconds unless the Philosopher's Stone itself is destroyed.

Wiz: Despite his ability to control his own shadow, Pride can only do it when there is a light source. When completely encompassed in shadows, he is unable to cast his own shadow to manipulate it.

Boomstick: And his arrogance can be his downfall, as he can say the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person and set them off in anger, especially if it's a reference to Edward Elric's height.

"Your stature has lead you to prove your worth by always fighting those who are larger than you. So then, you don't exactly have much experience in fighting those who are smaller than you."

"Damned Brat! You've overlooked the Simple fact that since I've always been small when I did the fighting, I know EXACTLY how a runt is going to try to WIN!"

Intermission
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLEEEEEEEEEE!
