Strax vs. Peridot

Strax vs. Peridot is a What-If? episode of Death Battle featuring Strax from the BBC series Doctor Who and Peridot from the animated series Steven Universe.

Interlude
Wiz: Earth has had numerous alien visitors. Some good, some bad, and some that are essentially genderless.

'''Boomstick: And they come in many sizes, too. In this case, it's the short ones you gotta watch out for. Representing the Sontarans is Strax.

Wiz: And there's Peridot, of the Peridot-type Gems.

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.

Strax
''Eleventh Doctor: Sontaran. Clone warrior race. Factory produced, whole legions at a time. Two genders is a bit further than he can count''

'''Boomstick: Enough said...Sontarans are war-crazy and live for the glory to die in battle. In fact, their kind seen females unfit for warfare, all Sontarans are male. The Doctor faced numerous Sontarans in his many lives. But one notable Sontaran is Commander Strax.'''

Wiz: We first meet Strax during in the year 4037 when he was tending to human soldiers at the Battle of Zaruthstra as a war medic to restore the honor of his clone batch. But is summoned by the Doctor to help him save Amy Pond and her baby at Demon's Run.

Boomstick: Lesson: NEVER get yourself on the Doctor's debt list.

Wiz: Indeed, Strax got fatally wounded and, despite his race's Spartan-ish ideals, he found his death in battle enjoyable as he had thought it would be.

''Strax: It's all right, I've had a long life. I'm almost twelve...''

'''Boomstick: Luckily, tricked into thinking he merely fainted, Strax was revived two days later by the Siluran named Madame Vastra and is currently living with her and her secret human wife Jenny in Victorian London as the former's butler and aid them in mysteries. But he does get weekends off to visit Glasgow for the sights and...picking fights.

Wiz: Like most Sontarans, Strax is a mighty warrior and actually outlived many of his fellow Sontarans who end up dying in numerous battles. He strong enough that even thrown newspaper is dangerous. Furthermore, Strax knows his battle strategies and formations and frequently giving battle advice to his friends, although often at inappropriate times.

Strax: I suggest a full-frontal assault with automated laser monkeys, scalpel mines and acid.

Boomstick: He sure loves acid and grenades.

Wiz: Strax is unique among his fellow Sontarans as he, from his perspective, degraded himself into a nurse and even gene-spliced himself for all nursing duties such as feeding an infant. But despite Strax having vast medical knowledge, added with his X-Ray Sonic Lorgnette, his analyzes can be slightly inaccurate with non-Sontaran species. He even has issues when it comes to using the correct gender terms.

''Strax: Silence, girl! Sorry lad.''

'''Boomstick: But you can't blame the guy. He's still not to use to Earth customs and prone to say and do things that are either threatening or insulting in unnecessary moments.'''

''Strax: Do you have any final words before your summary execution? [The horse grunts as Strax takes out his gun] The usual story! Fourth one this week, and I'm not even hungry!

Wiz: While his Sontaran anatomy does leave him open to be knocked out from behind in the "probic vent", Strax is loyal to his friends.

'''Boomstick: When push comes to solve, this one alien you don't want to deal with. Especially when you staring into a Sontaran heavy duty laser rifle.'''

Strax [charging into a room while firing his laser rifle]: "Sontar Ha!

Peridot
Wiz: Thousands of years ago, aliens called Gems attempt to colonize prehistoric Earth for its resources. But a faction lead by a Gem named Rose Quartz refused to allow this and results in an epic war. In the end, very few Gems were left over after the war. Rose and three Gems in her camp stayed behind on Earth.

Boomstick: Four if you count Garnet as a duo.

Wiz: The others are Amethyst and Pearl-

Boomstick: And Steven!

Wiz: Not yet! But the Homeworld Gems are still focused on Earth and among them is a nerdy egotist who is assigned the task to oversee the her homeworld's massive weapon of galactic destruction known as the Cluster...Peridot.

Boomstick: You mean the marooned Dorito elf?

Wiz punches Boomstick with his roboarm

'''Boomstick: OW! What the hell!'''

Wiz: Despite being the only one of her kind Steven meets, Peridot is actually one of the Gem archetypes with her archtype being scientific in nature. Too bad that did not save Peridot from being stranded on Earth. Out of fear of retaliation, Peridot tried to cover distance between herself and the Crystal Gems before she ends up entering a truce with them since the Cluster is a mutual threat to them all if it wakes, ripping the planet apart from the inside.

''Peridot: "Go to earth" they said. "It'll be easy" they said.''

'''Boomstick: This chick is smart as hell, and she's able to manipulate tech with ease. She also has an EMP device.'''

Wiz: She also has Limb Enhancers that make her appear adult-size, with multiple purposes.

[Periot using her Limb Enhancer fingers like propellers to fly away.]

''Pearl: Peridot got away! Her fingers were to fast for us!''

Boomstick: Heh.

Wiz: Shut up. Periot's limbs all her to scale up WALLS, and even channel electricity. She also survived a giant machine crushing her. But Peridot isn't really good at hand to hand fighting.

Boomstick: Limb enhancements or not, she is more of a runner in a fair fight.

Wiz: But give her any technological item, Gem or Earth-based, and she could use to her advantage.

Boomstick: And since she's with the Crystal Gems as a reluctant ally, there's no telling what would happen if she "Gems" up.

''Peridot: Victory is mine! Now I'm the one in charge! PRAISE ME! PRAISE ME!''

Pre Fight
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. '''Boomstick: Psychotic Potato Dwarf or Nerdy Dorito Elf? Let's find out!'''
