Description
''Two wielders of unholy weapons are about to clash! There's only one question to ask: who's soul is going to be eaten tonight?!''

Interlude
Wiz: For countless years, there have been stories where a hero obtains a powerful heroic weapon, capable of rending all evil. A true instrument of justice. But everything must have a counter.

'''Boomstick: And while they may be evil, they're just so damned cool you miiight just find yourself heading on over to the dark side. I know I would!'''

Look no further than Nightmare, the demonic scourge of Soul Calibur...

'''...and Revya, the "soulmate" of the most kickass Death God in Soul Nomad! He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick!'''

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

Revya
Over a thousand years ago, the continent of Predesto was the center of a bloody and brutal conflict. Up until a single man stood above all others and established a new era. His name was Median, later known in life as the Conqueror. Though he was but one man, his power alone unified all of Predesto and created what could have been a beautiful kingdom whose peace could lost for decades.

'''It didn't. It last only ten. All because somebody doesn't practice good hygene!'''

That's hypocrtical of you. Since when do you practice good hygene?

How else am I supposed to maintain this awesome beard or my shotgun leg?


 * shakes head* In any case, Predesto was once again thrust into turmoil. Thankfully, Median's daughter, Layna the Firebrand, arose to power to restore order. Sadly, even that attempt wouldn't last for very long as the world came under attack by a truly god-like force. The Master of Death, the Grim Reaper Gig, had come to reap the souls of every last living being in the world, and under his command were the death machines known only as the World Eaters.

'''And whoo boy, does Gig enjoy a slaughter! He wiped out whole kingdoms and slaughtered millions of people. He was really good at his job. It also really helped that the World Eaters were practically unstoppable! ...until Gig got his ass kicked by Layna, who was probably as old as dirt, and got himself sealed away in a kickass sword called the Onyx Blade.'''

A demonic sword, wielded by those of Lord Median's heritage. It was within this sword that Gig slept, waiting for the day he would once again be ushered into the world. Fast forward to the present day, and Gig would indeed be unleashed. Just not in the way he would have liked.

'''Yep. Poor ol' Gig ended up getting stuck inside the body of a...whoa, okay~ Not sure if I should pity him, or feel envious. Damn she's hot!'''

Born and orphaned at a young age, Revya was taken into the care of Layna, who had long since retreated from the world in favor of a quiet life, establishing a small community hidden away in a thick forest. Alongside her was her childhood friend Danette, who to put it graciously wasn't exactly the brightest tool in the shed. One day, Layna called upon the two when they had come of age, and decided it was time to let them spread their wings. She even offered them weapons, with Danette choosing a pair of dual daggers.

'''But Layna only had one gift in mind for Revya. The one and only...Onyx Blade!'''

Revya was raised with the intent and purpose of becoming a vessel for Gig, as Layna believed it was only a matter of time before the World Eaters were awakened. The only power capable of destroying the World Eaters was Gig himself. To this end, Layna used an artifact called the Crimson Tear and bound Gig's soul to Revya's. With this, Revya could command Gig's power for herself...or rather a tiny portion.

'''Aside from being a kickass swordlady, the powers she got from Gig let her "dominate" anybody who consents! *grins* Sounds kinky~'''

Innuendo aside, what "Dominate" actually does is create a pact between Revya and the consenting party. Not only can she summon them at any time, but they can grow even stronger than normally. Of course, theoretically, Revya could command even greater power than this. There was only one problem, though.

'''The only way she could get those kickass powers was if Gig let her have them. And that always came with the guarantee of "hey, I'm gonna take your body and destroy the world if you let me have control!"'''

Needless to say, Revya didn't accept such conditions. However, she did eventually grow strong enough on her own to challenge the World Eaters, namely in part of Gig himself willingly offering his power with no strings attached. See, the fusion affects both parties. Overtime, Revya became just as hot-tempered and willing to bring out her sword to deal with a problem rtaher than solve it with diplomacy, and Gig became less, well, crazed.

'''Outside of what little power Gig offered her, from "Dominate" to even boosting her power to over 9000 when she really wants to go overkill, Revya can boost her own power for a short period of time. She's also a pretty good friend! So good, in fact, that she learned to coordinate with people she's hardly ever met before for some sick combos. She can even make people!'''

Not so much as "make" but "craft." See, when Revya "Dominates" someone *Boomstick snickers* Revya obtains an effigy of their likeness. Alternatively, she can create an effigy of her own, though these are more like the generic summons you'd seen in video games and manga. She can place these effigies in "rooms" with varying effects, some beneficial and others harmful. However, arguably her greatest power is the power to consume souls, whether by the power of the Onyx Blade...or her own.

'''Whoa, wait a second. She can EAT souls?!'''

See, Revya wasn't human. She's actually a World Eater herself. More specifically, a World Eater born in Haephness, the World of Life. In Haephness, World Eaters resemble humans and can control their own aging. More than that, she's also the reincarnation of Lord Median's son, which also explains why she was even able to use the Onyx Blade in the first place. By devouring the soul of Gestahl, a legendary warrior serving under the mighty sorcerer Dio, actually a zombified Median, long story, Revya unlocked the full power of the Onyx Blade and can create a massive wave of dark power that obliterates everything in its path.

'''She's definitely not someone I'd cross anytime soon. Buuut just because she was raised for saving the goddamn world doesn't mean she's pure of heart. She can feel just as mopey as anyone else, or look for the easy shortcuts. Hell, after she got her ass kicked by Gig's favorite soul-eating pet Feinne, Gig offered her some power to kill it, but made it clear that her body was his afterwards. And don't even get me started on the Demon Path!'''

Yeeeaaah, the less said about that shit show, the better. Regardless, Revya succeeded in what she set out to do and then some, destroying the World Eaters and even managing to return Gig to the side of good. Or, well as close as she could get to anyway. She also restored the natural flow of souls, resuming the cycle of death and rebirth.

When it comes down to it, there's no one better suited to saving the world than the chick with the death god sleeping inside her!

(Cue Revya executing Demon Force on Drazil)

Nightmare
Long ago, in a tale transcending history, a powerful sword was forged. Designed to be the greatest weapon ever designed, it was bathed in the blood of countless enemies.

'''And it soaked up all that death and destruction like a sponge at a pool party! It even developed its own consciousness, and it only had one goal: Destroy the world! ...yeah, totally not done before.'''
