Interlude
(cue music: Defender by Haruki Yamada)

Sora: Senators and conquerors! Aren't they badass eh?!

Ryuuga: Throughout history we had conquerors and senators coming in all shapes and sizes, using their wit and approval ratings to come out on top.

Boomstick: But today we'll be facing a battle that is all brawn and strength.

Deadpool: Like Steven Armstrong, The senator who shall use and end war as a business.

Dr. Doom: And Raoh, the Conqueror of Century's end.

Ryuuga: I'm Ryuuga Dogai and with me are Deadpool, Sora, Dr. Doom and Boomstick.

Dr. Doom: And it's our job to analize their weapons, armor and skils to find out-

Boomstick: To find out who would win a DEATH BATTLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Steven Armstrong
(cue music: It Has to be This Way - Metal Gear Revengeance)

Dr. Doom: Senator Steven Armstrong is a man who wants America to get to ultimate power. He is a man of power, ambition... and corruption.

'Deadpool: But before all of his warmongering, young Steven was dedicated to serving his country. After spending his time playing college football for the University of Texas, he would have gone professional, had he not decided to instead take the call to serve 'Murica in the United States Navy!'

Sora: Unfortunately for him, during this time, he never did see any combat. After leaving, he moved to Colorado and began his life as a politician, working his way into the Colorado state senate. By 2016, he had also got enhanced with--

'''Boomstick: Ah, ah, ah! Save that for later!'''

Sora: Uh... sure. Anyway, despite seeming like a good senator, behind the scenes he was actually the de facto CEO of World Marshall Inc, commanding the Winds of Destruction in hopes to get him to power.

Boomstick: But it turns out there's a slightly more darker purpose to his campaign than previously thought.

Ryuuga: See, Armstrong believed that America was diseased in its ways. Rotted to the core, as he says. And wanted America to rise to it's former glory, to wipe everything clean and start afresh, hence why he began to run for presidency of the United States itself in 2020.

'Deadpool: OH BOY! His methods may be questionable, but there's no doubt that Armstrong is a dedicated patriot through and through! Captain America would look inferior to him in comparison!'

Ryuuga: Even before 2016, he had a high amount of normal strength, which he owes to his football career and his time in the Navy.

Boomstick: He also has quite a fair amount of skill in hand-to-hand combat despite not seeing himself in actual combat in most of his time, usually just incorporating brawl-like moves consisted of wrestling techniques and football moves.

Dr. Doom: But, naturally, Armstrong wouldn't be Armstrong without his... ready?

'''Boomstick: Ready. One... two... three...'''

Ryuuga, Sora, Dr. Doom, Deadpool, Boomstick and Armstrong: Nanomachines, son!

Ryuuga: Ha-ha...

Boomstick: Ah, that felt so good...

(cue music: Red Sun - Metal Gears Revengeance OST)

Dr. Doom: Yes, Armstrong got himself enhanced with nanomachines which harden in response to any physical trauma they undergo, and covers Armstrong's entire body, from head to toe.

'''Boomstick: Are you seriously trying to tell me that even his DICK has nanomachines? That'd make for an interesting round of sex...'''

Ryuuga: Ugh, just don't. Anyway, these nanomachines allow Armstrong to perform abilities that his normal strength wouldn't be able to do, such as lifting up huge pieces of debris, creating fire from the ground, and helping him survive wounds more easily.

'Deadpool: Even losing a limb isn't a problem to him. Especially since it makes a neat temporary shiv! Sheesh!'

White Speech Bubble: Despite not having much fighting experience, he has performed various extraordinary things. He's defeated Jetstream Sam in combat before taking him onto his side, temporarily beat Raiden and broke his original High Frequency Blade, and after Raiden broke the Metal Gear EXCELSUS to high damage, Armstrong finished the job and destroyed its damaged frame.

(cue music: Rules of Narute - Metal Gear Revengeance OST)

'''Yellow Speech Bubble: Those nanomachines of his are just so awesome... too bad they aren't perfect.'''

Ryuuga: Exactly right. Despite giving him high damage resistance, his nanomachines are only so good at their job. They can actually not respond if the attack in question is surprise attacks or attacks that he isn't able to react to in time. And the fact he's over-reliant on nanomachines isn't helped by the fact that he's somewhat gullible, which did eventually lead to his death.

'Deadpool: But even in death, you can't deny that Armstrong is one badass motherfucker! He is a man who wants the true America, and will stop at nothing to get his way! You'd better hope you don't have to compete against this guy in the run for office!'

''Senator Armstrong: I'm using war as a business to get elected... so I can end war as a business! In my new America, people will die and kill for what they BELIEVE! Not for money! Not for oil! Not for what they're told is right! Every man will be free to fight his own wars!''

Raoh
(cue music: Silent Survivor -HARD VER.- by Kodomo Band)

Sora: Raoh was originally born from the Land of Shura who was the part of China at that time.

Boomstick: More commonly known as the land of demons.

Dr. Doom: That's right, Boomstick, in Fist of the North Star universe, Shura is a country when the martial arts like Hokuto, Nanto and Gento Ko Ken was come from.

Boomstick: Not to mention Hokuto Ryu Ken.

Ryuuga: In the middle of chaos back in 197X, Raoh was orphaned and sent to the mainland by Jukei, along with his little brother, Toki, and the baby Kenshiro to train with Ryuken, the master of Hokuto Shinken.

'Deadpool: And so, he's journey to the power has begun. along with Toki, Kenshiro, and Jagi, he trained under their master, until the judgement day.'

(cue music: Hokuto no Ken OST - Minagoroshi no Theme)

Sora: in the end, Ryuken choose Kenshiro, resulting anger on Raoh. and so he decide to broke the 1800 year law of Hokuto and kill his master.

Boomstick: With luck, dammit!

Dr. Doom: After he leave, he created a new martial arts, who was called Go no Ken. a martial arts who use immense force to overpower opponents and can also be used to augment the user's own strength.

Boomstick: If you don't know, Go no Ken was a martial arts who created by Raoh, after he was forced to erased his fist by Ryuken.

(cue music: Power Worship - Ken's Rage ost)

White Speech Bubble: Well, as the practitioner of Hokuto Shinken and Go no Ken, he was incredibly powerful, making him expert on pressure point combat.

'''Yellow Speech Bubble: He can send a circular wave through the target's body. Launch the unblockable powerful uppercut, and punch his enemies rapidly.'''

Sora: And he is also possessed of an aura. yet, his name became synonymous as Byokosei or in the translation itself called the violent evil star.

'Deadool: And he is master in aura attack, his trademark, Hokuto Gosho Ha can create a powerful wave from his palm and his ultimate attack, Tensho Honretsu an attack by rotating hand charge which fires a large wave of aura. FUCK YEAH!'

Ryuuga: And soon, the nuclear war was coming, and destroying most of the earth itself, leaving no government, and once again, Earth turn into a chaos. And so he did established Cassandra, a prison for a martial artist and yet, he even reclaim himself The King of Fist.

(cue music: Heart of Madness -Reboot Ver.- by Kodomo Band)

'''Boomstick: Raoh was born to be a tank and he was Physicality stronger than any Hokuto Shinken practitioner. He can lift and toss Fudo, who was more taller and bigger than him, climbed a cliff with one bare hand and decapitated a tiger with his finger. If he was not tough enough, he can even survive the nuclear and it's radiation.'''

Sora: And yet, the only one that who can match Raoh, was Toki, his brother. and his reflexes are essentially match against Toki. and besides, he can easily catch the arrow and throw it back with ease.

Boomstick: Surprise, bitches!!

Deadpool: Yet, he can stab Toki and his foot with his sword and doesn't even feel clinch afterward.

'''Boomstick: Like I said, he was born to be a tank and he was more badass with it, he can struck Rei with one finger, easily overpowered and defeated Hyui, Shuren, Juuza and Fuudo. and eventually, he was match against Toki.'''

Dr. Doom: Despite for the fact that he is incredibly powerful, during his fought against Kenshiro somehow, Kenshiro was able to master Muso Tensei, a technique that never before been fully mastered by anyone in the 1800 year history of the style. It can only be achieved by one who is consumed by sorrow. making all of his technique become useless.

'Deadpool: So, in the end, he abandoned his title and attempt to kill Yuria to obtain that power. But, until he discovered that Yuria is ill all of the time and so, better than killing her, he decided to make her coma and provoke Kenshiro to their own final battle.'

Wiz: And before his final battle, he was able to master Muso Tensei, thanks to Yuria courage in face of her impending death and make Raoh moved Raoh to tears and stopped him from killing her.

Boomstick: And so, in the end, Raoh is the king Badassery, even his death.

Raoh: I have no regrets for the live I had lived.

Pre-Match
Sora: All right! The combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.

Dr. Doom: Heaven or Hell! LET'S ROCK!

Ryuuga: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! The fighters are ready to rock! Take your sits and enjoy the show,

Deadpool: FEEL THE VIBRATION!

Yellow Speech Bubble: JUST ENJOY THE SENSLESS SLAUGHTER!

White Speech Bubble: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

Boomstick: It's time for a Kung-Fu DEATH BATTLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Fight
''Ravaged City of 199X. ''The world was completely overtaken by war, conflict and prejudice. It was in complete and utter ruin as it was thrusted into an age of nuclear warfare leaving only a ravaged and untamed human race in it's wake as only the strong rule and the weak perish in this no good place of a world.

In a nearby city, the sound of thundering gallops echoed through the almost dessert as a tall, brutish and brooding man rode his colossal, jet black steed through the city, almost looking for a fight. The man's stern and almost unfeeling scowl remained throughout his journey to the city giving off a stern look of battle as he and his loyal steed galloped heavily through the ruined streets of the city.

This man was known as Raoh, the Conqueror of Century's End and the eldest and strongest among the Hokuto Brothers and he is currently on a journey as a mysterious message was sent onto his fortress, a challenge in fact. The message was painted in the blood of his guards and loyal servants.

Naturally, this angered the Conqueror to the point where he had to go out of his way to even meet his opposition let alone travel and wander through the barren wasted land of a planet. After what seems to be like eternuty Raoh and his loyal steed, Kokuoh, quickly approaced a relatively bulky man wearing what seems to be a suit of all things as the man casually walked around in circles, was this the man who issued the challenge against Raoh?

Raoh quickly and angrily mounted off Kokuoh as the ground slightly shook from The Conqueror's sheer towering size and power. The Conqueror of Century's End quickly marched onto his opposition as the hot and fiery wind blew through them as Raoh's cape wildly danced in the wind.

"I believe that you are the one who killed my men?"

Raoh questioned as he stood still making his brutish appearance even more apparent than ever, giving off a stand off-ish vibe towards his opponent, mimicking that of a wild west movie.

"Yeah. That was me alright."

The man answered out almost proudly as he walked around while pulling out a cigar and breathing a small puff of smoke almost nonchalantly, this naturally angers Raoh even further as he steadily and rushingly approached with his fists clenched until he heard the former senator's proposition, per say.

"Hey now. I didn't come here to fight, muscles. I came here to talk of a little...proposition we can make."

Senator Armstrong proposed as he continued smoking with a light grin forming across his face contrasting Raoh's deadpan and stern glare. Fighting a supposed conqueror wasn't a good idea at all, even Armstrong knows that. Baffled by the senator's offer, Raoh stood his ground as the fiery wind slowly became a cold and somewhat foreboding breeze, It was at this point Raoh detected the tone of Armstrong's voice as he offered his condition. Having worked with all sort of atrocious men within his army allowed the great Ken-Oh to detect this behavior.

"Just make me your successor should you fall. I'll be sure to lead your army just as good as you do."

Steven Armstrong's smile quickly turned to shock as he found a speeding and completely enraged Raoh grabbing him by the shirt and raising his head to eye level. Raoh disregarded the man with a look of superoity with his face contorting in utter disbelief and anger, completely in shock of the senator's offer. Who the hell was he thinking that he could just propose a completely backwater offer like that and get away with that!

"You think yourself my equal? Do not insult me with your pathetic lies, for I can tell just the kind of individual you are. You have have never suffered a day in your life, living with all the wealth and fame the rich provided you. Now with all of the world in hell, you dare to deceive me for your selfish goals?!"

Raoh shouted in anger as he furiously tossed Armstrong into a wall and structure of a nearby and ruined building, cracking it from the pressure but still keeping the man alive. Recovering himself from the conqueror's rather hefty throw, The former senator coughed out in slight pain, but he slowly pushed himself back up, looking to Raoh with a rather injured and broken look while still maintaining his smug look.

"You probably don't know this, but a true American doesn't take no for a answer. And believe me, I'm plenty of a patriot to say so."

Steve retorted from Raoh's rather long winded speech as he rearranged his glasses and dusting his clothes as he stared down the hulking conqueror while throwing away his broken cigar. The two slowly began circling around eachother like wild and ravaged animals, ready to pounce and charge at any moment. The scorching sun flared through ever so fiercely during the two's stride around eachother.

"From what I heard of America before it fell, you also take in food and power till you're no fatter than the pigs you eat. Someone with those views could never replace me."

Raoh proclaimed as he threw his massive fist out at Armstrong in surprisingly blinding speeds with little to no avail. The conqueror looked into Armstrong's eyes as his fist was caught within his arm, firmly grasping it in his hand. A look of surprise popped up into Raoh's face as he just casually and easily caught the speeding fist!

"What!? What sort of strength do you possess!?"

A confused Raoh shouted out as he was immediately met with a counter attack from the opposing senator. What was the said counter attack? A direct punch to the face, Raoh was sent flying and skidding across the wasteland as his mighty steed panicked around the dirt being tossed around from the conqueror's weight. Standing up, more surprised than ever, Raoh said nothing else and only took a fighting stance in response to the senator's strength and power.

"Oh? What do I possess?"

Steven retorted as he forcefully removed his suit revealing several bulging and pulsing veins and his chest having a massive deformity in the middle of it all. Despite in the sight of such a disgusting and muscular body, Raoh stood his ground firmly with his fists tightly clenched, more than ready to eliminate this meddling senator justly and swiftly.

"I got nanomachines, son."

Announcer: FIGHT!

(cue music: Endure Pain - Ken's Rage 2 OST)

As soon as Armstrong finished that infamous statement, he quickly charged forward in blinding speeds covering the distance between him and Raoh as his fist began to turn jet black and became harder than steel, completely hardened by his nanomachines. Not taking his chances with this surprisingly powerful threat, Raoh quickly dashed through the barren wasteland with his fist reeled in.

The colossal punches collided as a massive shockwave echoed and resonated through the city, blowing heavy amounts of dust and gravel. The two massive combatants were locked in an intense clash of fists and punches as the growing impacts showed off that these two were not playing around. The two fiercely gazed into eachother's eyes as they were completely dead even when it comes to matching there fists.

Growing tired of the futile struggle, Raoh rushingly broke up the clash as bellowed a fierce war cry and leaping up high into the air and came back down, crashing his fist onto the senator's face causing him to skid and grind along the orangey and barren desert of a city. Groaning in pain and annoyance, Armstrong stood up while dusting himself the dirt of him before cracking his knuckles in an arrogant manner, pissing off the mighty conqueror even more.

"Come on, muscles. You can do better than that."

The senator taunted out in an attempt to get the conqueror to get under his nerves, which seemed like a good idea in hindsight. Groaning in anger, Raoh balled and palmed his hands together sideways before thrusting his hands out shooting absolutely nothing but after a few seconds the ground began to rip and shred itself in a straight line.

A form of suprise and shock formed across the senator as the fierce wind was coming straight towards him! With no options left, Armstrong quickly raised his guard up as the raging wind impacted his nanomachine enhanced arms causing him to be pushed back in a desperate struggle. The senator pushed and pushed away at the ravage wind before throwing his arms out sideways, reigning victorious with a smug smirk forming across his face.

"Is that all, mister conqueror!"

Armstrong taunted out with his arms outstretched in a "come at me" gesture as he slowly waltzed over to the angered Raoh. Letting a groan of anger, Raoh quickly dashed across the vast space between them with his face completely focused on the senator's face as he threw his fist out and directly impacting it on Steven's face as he was sent crashing and tumbling through the wall of a building as the sound of crumbling concrete blaring and echoing through the ruined and desserted city.

(cue music: Futatsu no Kyousei)

Despite the insult Steven said, Raoh still managed to maintain his stern and cold glare as he slowly walked towards over the massive hole of the building with his mighty steed following him at his side. The only sound that was heard right now at the city was the soft and hot breeze blowing through Raoh and the mighty and slow gallops of Kokuoh. Not taking his chances, Raoh quickly rode on top of Kokuoh as they charged towards the seemingly unconscious Armstrong.'' Seemingly. '' From out of absolutely nowhere, a massive chunk of rock sailed through the air in rising speeds, heading straight towards the mounted Raoh and Kokuoh! Surprised at the incredible speed it was going out, Raoh and Kokuoh leaped out up to the air and facing straight at the piece of debris with his fists reeled in and ready. Raoh quickly and fiercely threw his fists out as they impacted the chunk of concrete in vigorous speeds, with his fists almost leaving a blur. Chunks and bits of stone and rock flew out of from the collision of the conqueror's mighty fists and the rock. After a good solid moment of clashing fists, the concrete slab was evaporated as Raoh and Kokuoh fell on the ground with a loud thud as they stood still just in time as Armstrong walked out while cracking his knuckles arrogantly and proudly with Raoh only staring back coldly and silently. "I guess your not all talk, I'll give the benefit of a doubt on that one." Armstrong stated as he rushed forward once more as he landed a hefty punch onto Raoh's jaw causing to stagger from the impact and strength of the hardened fist, but despite all of it, Raoh still held his ground as he slowly but surely turned his head before staring directly into the Armstrong's eyes with surprise and shock. The senator couldn't believe what he had just witnessed as this man just took on a Nanomachine punch to the face....... And he just looked pissed off more than ever. Raoh quickly and tightly wrapped his hand around Armstrong's fists as he slowly pulled it away from his jaw and face with a look of dissatisfaction and disinterest forming around the conqueror's battered face. Armstrong attempted and struggled to shake his fist loose away from Raoh's iron grip with little to avail. Senator Armstrong quickly finds himself in a choke hold as he was raised above the ground as Raoh's hand was firmly coiled around his neck with the conqueror staring him in the eyes. (cue music: Time of Fate - Ken's Rage OST)

"I may not speak all that often. But if it means to take you down.....I'll take that sacrifice."

The conqueror stated as he threw Armstrong away like a ragdoll as his body spun around like a top on sideways before skidding across the wasteland as he jumped around like a lifeless fish and crashing down with a loud sound thud on the ground. Standing up dazedly, Armstrong slowly began to gain his composure back as Raoh and his mighty steed begins to slowly approach him. With these change of events, Armstrong began to form a light smirk as he slammed his fists together as blue crackles of energy suddenly emerged from the ruined buildings.

"Come on boys! There's enough fun for everyone!"

Armstrong shouted out as three massive bipedal mechas leaped out of the buildings, shattering them with utmost ease. Raoh and Kokuoh both stood back a bit in utter shock and awe on the mechs appearances as they were extremely tall almost towering over Armstrong and Raoh with their upper most body looking more mechanical and robotic than their legs which were completely organic. The Metal Gear Geckos quickly began to converge and circle the conqueror and his steed but despite all this. Raoh's unfeeling glare didn't change, not a bit.

The Geckos quickly began to shoot out their blaring and menacing M1 Browning Machine Guns as the bullets flew out of the barrel, aiming straight towards Raoh in rising speeds! Quickly dodging out of the way, Raoh quickly mounted on top as they galloped away from the Geckos as the Metal Gears quickly leaped in an attempt to chase the conqueror and his loyal steed. Kokuoh galloped across the wasteland as the relentless Geckos are really hot on their tail as the hot sand is blown away from Kokuoh's might hooves and incredible speed.

Feeling empty handed against such terrors of technology, Raoh quickly reached into his back as he pulled out a massive blade from out of nowhere. How? Don't ask. Kokuoh quickly turned to his side as he skidded along the ground with a slick screech sound as Raoh readied his blade with the Geckos fast approaching. Raoh bellowed out a fercious war cry as Kokuoh stood in his full height and glory as he neighed in anger before charging onto the leaping Geckos with Raoh raising his blade high into the heavens!

The group of Geckos quickly lunged out at Kokuoh and Raoh, who in turn, leaped at them in a surprising way! Raoh quickly lashed his sword out as the razor sharped edges of the blade pierced through one of the Gecko's metal plating as a shower of sparks emerged from the colission. More than willing to help his master, Kokuoh quickly threw his hooves out as it impacted the Gecko's head leaving a major dent in his body while causing it to stagger and fumble about.

(cue music: FORCES -GOD HAND MIX- by Susumu Hirasawa)

Both Raoh and Kokuoh landed on the ground as two out of the three Geckos fumbled around as the third one came in charging towards them before throwing out a long cord as it wrapped around Raoh's hand, disarming him of his jagged blade. Armstrong watched from the distance safely with his arms crossed and a grin of satisfaction forming across his face. This was a tad easier than he thought.

Raoh struggled to free his hand as another Gecko slowly and steadily walk up to him with it's gun more than ready to put a few holes onto the conqueror's body. The sound of the Gecko's organic legs slamming and walking around the sandy and desserted city and Raoh groaning trying to free himself were the only sounds heard throughtout the city. Closing his eyes as the Gecko's machine gun aiming towards him, Raoh then quickly grasped the wire as he tugged it onto his side with all his might before slamming the heavy bulk of the Gecko onto the other Gecko like a makeshift flail causing it to rupture and break down from the sheer force of the slam.

The Gecko quickly panicked and shot his machine gun out but was proven futile as Raoh quickly slammed the wired Gecko onto it causing a shower of metal and blue sparks to emerge as the bipedal mech slumped down with it's steel head completely unrecognizable. Raoh quickly turned his head to his side to see Armstrong quickly and fast approaching with his fist completely caught on fire.

Taken completely off guard, Raoh used all his might as he flailed the massive Gecko towards the charging senator, who in turn, leaped up high into the air and delivered a fiery punch onto Gecko causing the wire to break apart while sending the blazing metal body speeding towards Raoh in shocking speeds! Free from the restrain the bipedal mech placed on him, the conqueror readied his fists and as soon as the flaming chunk of metal came close within him.

Raoh, shockingly, formed a very confident smirk.

"How foolish of you."

Raoh taunted as he threw his palms out and blasted out a devastating blast of Toki causing the flaming Gecko to shatter in pieces while sending out flaming pieces of shrapnel towards the senator! Out of pure instinct, Steven raised his arms up just as the nanomachines reacted to the pieces of shrapnel, almost rendering the fiery pieces of metal moot and void but some of the shrapnel did manage to make small embers of fire on Armstrong's body to ignite.

(cue music: Rules of Nature - Metal Gear Revengeance)

Dusting himself of the small but bare flames on his body, Armstrong reeled his fist once more as a small blaze began to slowly ignite. Suddenly from out of completely nowhere, Kokuoh neighed out a cry of defiance as he lunged towards the vulnerable senator before bucking him directly in his face, completely taking him off guard. Steven rolled and skidded along the sandy ground of the city. The selfless act of loyalty even surprised Raoh as he did not expect Kokuoh to just jump in and do....that despite all the times he had travelled and ventured with his mighty steed.

"Nice horsey you got there."

Armstrong sardonically said as he dusted himself back up as he circled around Raoh and Kokuoh with his eyes filled with confidence and his arms smugly crossed together with something cleary planned out in his mind. Raoh eyes calmly tracked Armstrong's movement before breaking the very moment of silence as he rushed out and threw his fist out as it impacted the nanomachine hardened shoulder of the senator.

Not letting up with that single punch, Raoh continued his assault as his fists were rapidly thrown out as each punch landed staggered the guarded Armstrong, each more stronger than the last. The myriad of punches almost seemed like a blur to anyone else's eyes as Raoh's massive fists continued to slam upon Armstrong's shoulder before shifting his punches onto blindingly fast punches onto Armstrong's torso as he continued wailing on him like skilled boxer trying to take down a bruised body bag. Difference was, the body bag was a 500 pound senator with nanomachines.

"DURYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Raoh roared out as he slammed his fist onto Armstrong's jaw, finishing the infamous Hokuto Hyaretsu Ken, as the senator was sent skidding and grinding across the lands with his body still standing, really, really beaten up mind you, but still standing notheless. Reeling from the seemingly neverending myriad of punches, Armstrong charged forth once more with his fiery fist outstretched as he nailed Raoh with a fiery clothesline as Raoh's body was set on fire as he flipped about in the air like a roulette wheel.

Standing while being set ablaze, Raoh, surprisingly, showed no discomfort with his body and cloak being completely on fire as he continued marching over the senator as the fires only signified his stern stare towards Armstrong. He really wasn't messing or playing around anymore. The two charged at eachother once more as their fists collided together as a much more rupturing shockwave resonated through the city as windows shattered causing a rain of glass shards to fall from the towering skycrapers.

The cracking rattles of the broken glass and the raw and impactful colissions of Raoh and Armstrong's fists blared and echoed in all throughout the lands. Both Raoh and Armstrong threw their fists out in blinding speeds as each tried to get a one up over the other but that was sent moot and void with each following punch getting stronger and faster by the second.

(cue music: Assassins - Ken's Rage OST)

The sun's baring and furious heat only got more intense as the ensuing clashes grew more louder and louder almost mimicking that of a band of shotguns and rifles in a 21 Gun Salute. Trying to win this desperate struggle, Armstrong's fists was quickly coated in flames as he threw his fist out as it impacted Raoh's fist as a shockwave resonated through ruined lands. But despite the fact that the fist was on fire, Raoh only pushed and pushed against the blazing fist with all of his might! And with a cry of defiance, the conqueror won out against the senator's punch as he clumisly stumbled back on his feet, reeling in from Raoh's strength.

Taking his opportunity, Raoh quickly charged up some off his toki as lighting blue sparks and bits of energy began surging through his fists as he charged up the Hokuto Senki Raidan. Which normally should put a person in a calm state of mind. But this far, far from the case. Raoh, who had his fists charged with lighting at the moment like a certain cyborg ninja, charged forth towards the dazed senator with his electric fists reeled in.

"You can use lighting now?! And I thought Jack was a pain in my ass."

Armstrong muttered to himself as he was met with a lighting charged punch to the face as he was sent skidding and tumbling towards a nearby building. Not taking his chances, Raoh dashed over to the hole in the building as he looked around the abandoned office with Armstrong nowhere to be seen. That is, before he saw a desk coming straight towards him in rising speeds! Instinctively, Raoh casually punched the table away as a shower of splinter and paper erupted from the impact.

Giving off a look of annoyance, Raoh scowled his head around in just the nick of time as he caught a fist. Senator Armstrong's fist. Not letting his opponent get an upper hand, Armstrong slammed his forehead onto Raoh's causing him to bleed lightly and stagger him immensely. Not letting up with his assault, Steven quickly threw out an uppercut onto the dazed Raoh as he was sent rocketing upwards while breaking through multiple floors and rooms as a rain of rock showered down Armstrong.

(cue music: RUN RUN RUN - Dynasty Warriors 5 OST)

Less than content with that attack, Armstrong leaped upward through the ruined rooftop skyscraper with fists clenched ready as he sees Raoh there. Just standing there with minor bruises and small pieces of jagged rocks with his almost unfeeling glare not changing. Somewhat impressed by his opponent's tenacity and durability, Armstrong's hands began to lighten up as the nanomachines began to fade away as he slowly walked over to Raoh.

"Y'know. I thought a couple of punches would've taken you down like some any other beltway pansy I've taken down in the Navy. But I guess I'll give you the benefit of a doubt and say that you're not as much of a pushover as I thought but either way. Only one of us is going to get out of this--!"

Armstrong was quickly interupted as Raoh's face turned from unfeeling to downright furious as he caved his massive fist onto the senator's skull causing him to plummet downards to the ground as the old and ruined skyscraper fell apart from the sheer weight and power of the punch Raoh dished out. He really didn't appreciate his opponent's arrogance let alone calling him a pushover. The building crumbled and shattered as Raoh landed just behind the wreckage and piles of rocks, tables and steel beams. Looking back at the destruction, Raoh nodded in a sense of satisfaction as he mounted Kokuoh before a eruption of fire emerged from the heap of rubble.

Armstrong quickly leaped out of his rocky prison as he stared down Raoh and his mighty steed as the sun looked down upon the showdown. More than willing to put Armstrong down for good, Raoh and Kokuoh quickly charged forward as the conqueror reeled his fist in, ready to cave his fist onto his skull once more. Not letting him get another hit in, Armstrong quickly ran through the empty space between them as he lunged forward like a madman!

Using the momentum to his advantage, Armstrong extended his feet out as he nails Raoh in the chest with a fierce and savage dropkick, knocking him off of Kokuoh as he rolled about in the ground like a lifeless ball on the sand. Wincing and holding his chest in pain, Raoh dazedly stood up as Kokuoh ran towards his side as he raised his front hooves in an effort to guard his injured master.

(cue ost: Shiro Sagisu - Sun)

Despite all the pain coursing through his body, Raoh still remained as strong as ever as he charged forth with a bellowing war cry as it echoed through the desserted streets. Annoyed with his opponent's stubborness, Armstrong dug his hands at the ground as he began heaving out a massive chunk of concrete as he threw it at the injured Raoh! Not letting his opponent win so easily, Raoh simply tackled through the flying piece of debris as rock and stone emerged from the colission.

The mere thought of this man being more than what he is right now disgusted Raoh as each moment he gets closer and closer to him, he begins to see visions of him ruling this land and, eventually, the world with an iron fist with people kneeling for mercy. Raoh had take him down not only for his sake. But for this land's sake. As soon as Raoh got close to Armstrong, he delivered out a masssive punch to his face as he was sent rocketing from the sheer impact as he skidded and broke through the city block in tremendous speeds.

"Damn....Looks like I'll need some backup here."

Armstrong muttered to himself as he stood up as the ground began shaking and quaking immensely as if something huge and colossal was going to turn up. Raoh and Kokuoh braced themselves from the following earthquake as even they knew this was something else entirely. The ground began to split itself apart as atleast ten buildings were getting torn apart from the massive tremor. Fires began emerging from the gigantic hole in the ground as metallic legs began to climb and rise up from the pit as Senator Armstrong formed a grin on his face.

Raoh only stood in awe at what was about to emerge from the ground as six metal crab like legs began to rise and plant themselves on the ground as a massive mechanical head and it's body emerged from the ground as a colossal mecha rose up from the ground as it was equipped with two gigantic blade like appendages as Raoh stood in utter shock and awe as Senator Armstrong quickly got inside the mecha with intentions of finishing this futile battle once and for all.

(cue music: Collective Conciousness - Metal Gear Revengeance OST)

Metal Gear EXCELSUS had finally appeared.

"Your about to feel the wrath of the USA!!"

Armstrong shouted inside the cockpit of the massive Metal Gear as his voice echoed throughout the entire city as the hulking blades of EXCELSUS slowly began to rise up and slice down two buildings with relative ease, just to showcase it's immense power. What did Raoh decide through all of this?

Raoh mounted on top of Kokuoh as they stared down the massive mech as the fires lit a pathway for them and after the mech emerged, everything seemed quiet as the raging fires and the sound of moving metal were the only sound heard in the city but this far, far from the case of quiet and peaceful. It was time for action not words. This was a time for battle not politics. This was the time to end this battle once and for all.

= "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" = Raoh howled out a savage war cry as Kokuoh galloped his way through the destroyed street in absolute instinct as Raoh picked up his discarded blade from before. EXCELSUS began charging it's massive cannons as they formed a crimson red energy, more than capable of turning Raoh and his horse into dust. EXCELSUS shot out it's plasma cannons as the beam zoomed and barreled through the fiery skies. With the beam fast approaching, Raoh and Kokuoh leaped into the window of a nearby building, just barely dodging the crimson beam of plasma as it impacted a building causing it to evaporate from it's sheer power. To continue the chase, Raoh and Kokuoh continued their approach towards the colossal mecha as they plowed straight through desks and tables as the only thing in their minds was beating out this supposed senator, thoroughly and swiftly. Completely pushed to the limit by their tenacity, Armstrong mashed and pushed buttons as EXCELSUS raised up one of it's massive blades once more as it randomly sliced through a building. Witnessing the building getting sliced in half, Raoh and Kokuoh leaped through the side and through a window as the top half of the building fell down with an echoing thud as the conqueror and his steed find themselves trapped in a nearby street with the Metal Gear's massive blade hovered above them. Desperately, Raoh looked around for atleast a small moment of opening as their pathway was blocked by a torn and sliced down building and the sidewalks burning. And then it him him, Raoh and Kokuoh leaped onto the sliced building as the blade came down on them and just missing them by a hair of Raoh's life. There it was. An opening came up as the blade was tightly etched onto the burning ground. Out of pure instinct, Kokuoh leaped onto the blunt side of the blade and began running towards the thin and narrow leg of EXCELSUS! "Oh no you don't!!" Armstrong roared out as he charged up the plasma cannons once more, in an attempt to shake this conqueror off his tail! The laser fired out once more as it was heading straight towards Raoh and his loyal steed in blinding speeds! With no other choice, Raoh and Kokuoh leaped off of EXCELSUS' blade as the laser impacted and completely destroying the street Raoh was on! Landing through a window, Raoh and his horse continued on with there downright suicidal trek towards Armstrong inside his mecha. This whole situation is ant fighting against an elephant. Hoping to win this bleak and bare battle, Raoh and Kokuoh charged forth once more knocking away chairs and tables from their blinding speed and extreme bulk even if all their constant running is just simply delaying the inevitable. EXCELSUS lifted up it's cumbersome blade once more as it sliced down yet another building in half as the half of the building began slowly falling down on the ground. Seeing an opening to an attack, Raoh and Kokuoh leaped onto the collapsing building as they ran and galloped their way onto the Metal Gear making it as a makeshift ramp! Baffled by the tactic they pulled off, Armstrong angrily mashed and pushed buttons as swarms of missles were locked onto the mighty conqueror and his steed! Forming a small and bare smirk, Raoh and Kokuoh quickly weaved and dodged through the oncoming missles as the explosions appeared behind Raoh and Kokuoh as the began speeding up towards the hulking Metal Gear! The sense of danger and adrenaline began filling the conqueror's body as he and his horse were almost close to the mecha and most importantly. Victory. As soon as they reached the bare end of the building, Raoh and Kokuoh jumped and leaped off the building as it landed with a echoing thud and crash! Raoh and Kokuoh sailed through the skies as they were fast approaching onto EXCELSUS' bare and platform like head with a very clear and simple goal popping up into Raoh's mind. Not letting them go on the Metal Gear's head, Armstrong raised up one of EXCELSUS' blade once more as the blade were directly in front of the conqueror and his horse! Noticing a somewhat blunt side of the blade, Raoh charged his fists up with Toki, gathering up energy for the Hokuto Senjukai Ken, as the blade was slowly swung down onto Raoh and Kokuoh! At that point in time, everything seemed slow to Raoh's perception as the orange glow of the blade was the only thing he saw. And as soon as the blade came within his area. Raoh unleashed the full wrath of Hokuto Shinken onto it!! ''A Left! A Right! A Left! A Left! A Right! A Right!  A Left! A Right! A Left! A Right! A Left! ''

''              A Right! A Right! A Left! A Right! A Left! A Left! A Left! A Left! ''

''                                                                      A Right! A Right! A Right! A Right! A Left! A Right! A Left! A Right! A Left! A Left! A Right! A Left! A Left! A Left! A Right! A Left! A Right! ''

''       A Left! A Right! A Left! ''

'' A Left! A Right! A Right!''

''                         A Left! A Right! A Right! A Left! A Right! A Left! A Left! A Left! A Left! ''

''                                                                            A Right! A Right! A Left! A Right! A Left! A Right! A Left! A Right! A Left! A Left! A Right! A Left! A Left! A Left! A Right! A Left! A Right! A Right! ''

''                                        A Left! A Left! A Left! A Right! A Left! ''

Raoh uunleashed the full might of the Hokuto Senjukai Ken onto the blunt side of the massive blade and with a final punch, the conqueror shattered the tip of the blade by his massive fist! Panic and worry began racing through Armstrong's mind as he thought to himself that how could man be so powerful! How is he still alive at this point!? Such questions began popping up into Armstrong's mind as a loud sounding thud is heard directly above him.

Raoh and Kokuoh had just landed on EXCELSUS' head.

Armstrong panicked around as he quickly got outside of his cockpit......Only to be met with a punch onto the chin by Raoh, knocking him on his back. Dazed, Armstrong crawled around the metallic platform of EXCELSUS as he turns his head to the conqueror as his horse jumped away and safely landing on a nearby streets, worried at what Raoh might do next.

"It is time..........."

Raoh muttered as raised his fist up to the heavens as a hefty amount of Toki began building and storing up within as bits and pieces of EXCELSUS' metal outer layer began to slowly tear itself apart due to Raoh charging up his massive attack. Looking around as the pieces of the Metal Gear began tearing apart, Armstrong rushingly stands up and groggily runs after Raoh with his fist reeled!

"THAT I END THIS!! HOKUTO GOTEN SHO!!!!" Raoh roared out as a massive explosion from the heavens emerged as the sheer power completely obliterated EXCELSUS as a colossal sphere of fire and Toki emerged from the raw might of the Goten Sho as Raoh and Armstrong were caught in the middle of the stadium sized explosion. Kokuoh looked in shock and awe as the only thing left from the attack is a massive crater on the ground and the ruins of atleast twenty buildings with bits and parts of the colossal Metal Gear scattered everywhere. To say the horse was worried for his master was an understatement.

(cue music: Overpowering - Ken's Rage OST)

And in the middle of the crater?

Raoh and Steven Armstrong.

Heavily wounded and injured with bruises and scars filling their entire body as a Raoh's chest began to bleed out from the explosion and Armstrong's right arm completely gored by a piece of shrapnel from the Metal Hear and the only thing that kept him alive was his nanomachines.

Being the more durable of the two, Armstrong groggily charged forward as he threw his fist as it impacted Raoh's face causing him to stagger and fumble around a bit. The raging fires of the wreckage and the sound of fists impacting were the only things heard throughout the entire city. The engaged in a brutal and gladiator like fist fights as each were desperate to win.

No.

They were desperate to survive.

More than willing to win, Raoh regained consciousness as he got into a martial fighting stance as his right eye began lightly bleeding as he stepped forward and slamming his forehead onto Armstrong's as he retaliated with his own headbutt as a loud thud resonated through the burning arena. The two continued to trade punches some more as each gets more and more powerful and impactful than the last. They both knew that his world only had one leader. And they were going to fight and kill eachother for being the one to make the world in their own image.

They continued their trading and receiving punches as each were getting more vulnerable to getting staggered with each passing second. Armstrong and Raoh quickly threw their fists out as they slammed their fists onto eachother's face, putting them into a deadlock. Rather sloppily, Armstrong recklessly threw his fist out as it was headed straight towards Raoh!

Only for it to miss completely.

"What the....."

A completely confused Armstrong questioned as he began thrashing and punching the air out as he kept his guard up, ready to block anything Raoh's going to throw at him. And then suddenly, he felt a sharp and painful at his hip as he groaned in pain as he held his bleeding hip as the nanomachines didn't react to it. How could it be like that?! And then a familiar and deep voice spoke.

"You will never know true sadness. And that's the reason why you will lose."

Raoh, in the state of the Muso Tensei, stated as he rushed towards the injured Armstrong with his fist reeled in. The intagible Raoh threw his fist out directly onto the senator's chest and piercing his nanomachine heart as he roared in pain as he could feel himself deatomizing as he thrashed his arms out with no avail. After a solid minute, Armstrong just vanished with nothing left from him as Raoh regained control over his body once more as he kneeled and panted heavily after a long and worned out fight.

Kokuoh decided to jump into the crater as he helped out Raoh in his care. Exhausted and injured, Raoh slowly mounted his ever so loyal steed as the sun began setting down and the fires of the crater getting blown out. Sighing in conent, Raoh and Kokuoh rode off into the setting sun leaving the ruined city behind their wake.

There was only one conqueror.

And his name was Raoh.

Announcer: KO!

Raoh was riding away on Kokuoh as the lifeless body of Senator Armstrong is lying on the crater.

Results
(cue music: Heart of Madness -Reboot Ver.- by Kodomo Band)

'Deadpool: HOLY SHIT! ALL THAT CARNAGE! ALL OF THESE FIGHTS GET BIGGER AND BIGGER!'

Dr. Doom: Destruction and fist fighting aside, this match had the classic case of variety of other powers or skills versus overwhelming physicality. Raoh is strong enough to compete with Armstrong and is a tad more durable but the speed gap is a tad large.

'Boomstick: But Raoh was far'' more refined in fighting and had a much more clear head when it comes to tactical thinking. Compared to Armstrong's fairly straight forward strategy of punch and throw things and occassionally light stuff on fire. But the real question is if Raoh can somehow bypass Armstrong's Nanomachines. And the answer is yes. Hokuto Shinken was made to pierce through durability since most of Fist of the North Star's baddies have skin harder than steel.'''

Ryuuga: Buuuuuut Armstrong could've easily blitz Raoh the moment the fight starts but that's where the good old classic case of arrogance kicks in. The good senator would underestimate Raoh the moment he sees him. Sure, Armstrong could bully and push Raoh for the moment but Raoh's tactical mindset would keep him from doing anything he'd regret.

Sora: Plus whenever Muso Tensei came to effect....Armstrong was downright hopeless and he doesn't even have what one could consider a demonic aura to fend it away.

Boomstick: Armstrong kept up his act during the time being but he just lost his heart at the rest of it all.

Sora: The winner is Raoh.
