Description[]
Warehouse 13 VS Shrek! Collectors of items with great powers often come into conflict with each other in the hunt for their next target. The two men about to go after the same artifact right now could not be anymore different from each other in terms of personality. The only thing in common between them is the bags full of magical items that they both possess. Who’s bag of trick is deadlier however?
Intro[]
Wiz: Collection of certain items is a kind of hobby that most people have indulged in since the beginning of time at some point in their lives. Cards, bottle caps, figurines, and pins are only a few examples of the things humans have collected throughout the ages. Some items collected however are more than meets the eye.
Boomstick: That’s basically a fancy word for describing the magical McGuffins that appear to the point of absurdity in fiction Wiz. The collectors of these kind of items about slug it out in a battle to thedeath are the complete opposites of each other in every area that matters. One wants to safeguard the world from these items while the other wants to use them for very very petty reasons.
Wiz: The one thing they both have in common are them possessing bags with magical abilities filled with artifacts to use against the competition.
Boomstick: Arthur Nielsen, The Custodian Agent of Warehouse 13
Wiz: and "Big" Jack Horner, The Crime Lord Obsessed With Stealing Magical Items.
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.
Arthur Nielsen[]
Wiz: Endless Wonder. This is not a word most would use to describe the world we live in. Relationships fail, resources run out, human greed often lead to disaster, and many more examples shows this statement to be false. The hidden parts of the world that Mrs. Frederic described like this does fit the definition however.
Boomstick: Not sure if I agree with the endless part still but it is a good catchphrase to use when introducing her newest recruits to a world they won’t be forgetting any time in the near future. Welcome to Warehouse 13 AKA Americas Attic according to the senior agent in charge. Imagen the storage room at the end of Raiders of the Lost Arc and make it bigger on the inside Doctor Who style. That’s basically this lone warehouse located in the badland of South Dakota in a nutshell.
Wiz: Not a bad way to describe Warehouse 13 Boomstick. Finding historical artifacts with great significance and unexplainable abilities and locking them away from the rest of the world to protect humankind is what agents of the various iterations of the Warehouse has done throughout the ages. Seeing as Warehouse 2 was stationed in ancient Egypt, it is not hard to guess that the number of artifacts in the current Warehouse 13 is beyond our comprehension. One of the few capable of knowing the exact number might be the lead agent in charge of the current Warehouse; Arthur Nielsen.
Boomstick: Working in this mystical warehouse for the latest 35-40 years certainly would make one want to know every single detail of the items stored there that could instantly make you dead in hundreds of ways. Very much explains his grumpiness and preference of old technology instead of “inferior” new innovations as well. Is it really required for all old people to have a grumpy phase in their old years? New things kind of make old stuff obsolete after all.
Wiz: Arthur Weisfelt was born as the son of an Russian Jewish family living in America who loved music. His relationship with his father fell apart when a young Arthur decided to work as a cryptographer for the NSA. His attempt at saving his relatives from the gulags in East Berlin by trading them for objects he thought was worthless turned out to be a mistake as these were deadly artifacts. His attempt at redemption by turning himself in to the authorities due to his guilt made the NSA declare him a traitor. Being saved from prosecution and offered a job at Warehouse 13 as Arthur Nielsen is probably the best thing that could have happened to Artie after a life full of mistakes so his grumpiness does make sense.
Boomstick: An old person usually goes through a lot in their life huh? The whole NSA fiasco is only the top of the iceberg as Artie has also lost partners and friends in his new line of work. It’s no wonder he is very protective of any new agents that comes to work at the Warehouse. He might act like a grumpy old bear on the outside but on the inside he is a grumpy old bear with a heart of gold. Anyone going after his new family will get their teeth caved in.
Wiz: He might not be in his prime anymore and therefore helps the newer agents from behind his desk but that does not mean he still isn’t capable of doing fieldwork on occasions. Being recognized as one of the Warehouses best agents with the highest artifact retrieval rate by Mrs. Frederic, the caretaker of the Warehouse, does make up for his obsession with details to the point of neurosis and tendency to leap to conclusions based on small pieces of evidence a tiny bit.
Boomstick: Not capable? The old agent can sucker punch much larger younger men out cold even when an artifact had basically blasted his ears full of music to the point of him turning momentarily deaf. Remember the time he faced a former agent and friend turned traitor with a sword that makes one invisible Wiz? Artie literally allowed himself to be stabbed clean through his chest before he grabbed on to the hilt to prevent his foe from escaping with it long enough for Pete and Myka to arrive as backup. Sure, it basically made him even more stuck behind his desk that he usually is but it was a badass move that I can very much respect.
Wiz: Surviving being shot by a gun at close range in the chest on a couple occasions and telling the tale every time does make me agree with your hypothesis on Arties still being highly capable in his old age. He has a poor track record in straight up fistfights though with all this in mind. A normal brawl using one’s fists however is not very likely to happen when most opponents faced wield powerful artifacts with usually deadly consequences.
Boomstick: Finally! Artie is decently interesting in his own right seeing as he is fluent in many modern and ancient languages. I am far more interested in his array of artifacts that he regularly uses however. He might claim not to like using them but he certainly has been shown willing to bend this little rule on various occasions. An example of an artifact regularly used by the agent is his handy black bag that Arties carries around wherever he goes. It……………..does something I guess? Are we actually sure it is an artifact?
Wiz: It has been stated by the creators of the show in commentaries that the bag is indeed an artifact. What the artifact actually is meant to represent is unknown however. Some speculate it might have inspired the Mary Poppins story or that it might the original “Bag of Tricks”. What we can say definitely is that the bag seemingly has the ability to provide the exact thing Artie requires at the right moment and with most of these things originating from the Warehouse; I think you all know what we are getting at.
Boomstick: A bag with the ability to literally grab whatever he needs in the Warehouse at any time combined with his encyclopedic knowledge about history and a lot of the artifacts abilities and downsides definitely makes that bag a keeper. Artie would be a fool to ever throw it in the trash. Speaking of the weird Warehouse items of zany powers, let’s see which ones are the grumps favorites to use in a crisis.
Wiz: My favorites of his are the ones not really suitable for combat like the Robot Matchbox capable of melting objects, Lloyd Wright's Pick-up Sticks that can form any configuration required by the wielder, The Glassblowing Tube with the ability to turn glass into sand, Sticky String canisters which are extremely sticky and durable, Joseph Stalin's Sleep Mask which turns the user fast asleep with an immediate effect, Shards from the Lens of the Lighthouse of Alexandria capable of blinding someone, and Louis XIV's Silverware Forks which makes one immune to temporal changes made to the space-time continuum.
Boomstick: Please be serious Wiz. Cameras capable of turning someone into a black and white 2D cardboard version of themselves, metal rods able to sky high the output of any electrical device connected to them, bottles of ink that allows one to phase through objects, fireworks with the nasty ability to hypnotize everyone around it for 10 minute not wearing cool sunglasses, nozzles when connected to fire hoses is able to release freezing streams of ice, nooses that when thrown causes everyone around to be invisibly strangled to death, and throwable objects with the ability to turn someone into a cocoon of spider webs are all much cooler than the ones you mentioned.
Wiz: Lets agree to disagree on this. There are a couple more artifacts to mention used by Artie like the 47 second time freezing barometer, sunlight and fire reflecting mirrors of Sargon, and cymbals which create a deadly soundwave that kills anyone in the vicinity that didn’t cover their ears in time. Mentioning every single one would take longer than a year seeing as the entire warehouse is part of his arsenal kind of.
Boomstick: Analyzing combatants are fun but not enough to make me skip months to waste on booze and weapons even if said combatant’s weapons include binoculars and horns capable of releasing concentrated atomic bomb beams and disintegrating soundwaves respectively. You did forget one important thing yet to be revealed as part of the agent’s arsenal though Wiz.
Wiz: ………..Are you referring to the fact that I forgot to mention the Phoenix medallion that allows one to survive being in the middle of a flaming inferno at the cost of someone else dying in the users place? I guess I should have mentioned Artie accidentally using it to resurrect himself after being blown up in an explosion that destroyed the umbilicus entrance of the Warehouse.
Boomstick: Not what I meant but I guess what you said is of almost equal importance. You do know Artie has things other than Artifacts in his little magical bag of tricks right? He is a warehouse agent after all and that comes with a couple of perks like sprays, goo-filled grenades, and canisters of said goo that neutralizes artifacts for an unknown amount of time. Being an agent also comes with gloves designed to allow one to touch them without having to worry about activating their nasty little quirks. I think you know which one of the items given to Warehouse agents is my favorite however don’t you Wiz.
Wiz: That would be the Tesla correct and also thanks for reminding me of the artifact neutralizing part of Arthurs arsenal. The Telsa steampunk handgun releases bolts of electricity for stunning opponents and sometimes even causes short-term memory loss. They used to run out of charge quickly in the past but thanks to Claudia Donovans tinkering; they are now equipped with a self-charging system. Adding her to the warehouse staff really is probably one of the best things that has ever happened in Arties long stint as an agent.
Boomstick: Bullets are more effective than some zappy electric shocks and luckily for him; Arthur is packing an old-fashioned gun for when he goes full papa bear on those attacking his employees with decent aim. Donovan making a Tesla grenade out of the same steampunk technology is something no one including me would say no to however. With such an impressive brain, it’s no wonder you think the warehouse desperately needed this fan-favorite snarky 19-year old.
Wiz: Artie programed the high- tech computer system of the current Warehouse and has managed to outsmart an AI made up of half the brain of someone who was friends with Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. He also once impressively created an electromagnet out of an iron like a certain MacGyver. I don’t think Arties is as far behind in smart when compared to Claudia as you seem to believe Boomstick.
Boomstick: ………………………Like father like unofficial adoptive daughter am I right? I am not kidding. Other than smarts, they certainly bicker like they are related with their snarky back and forth. Artie even acts like a parent trying to reign in their very rebellious daughter. Seeing as none of the two are complaining about this unofficial arrangement, they are definitely OK with being a weird unconventional family.
Wiz: The entire group of agents working in the current Warehouse really does seem like family when I think about it and Artie could not have received a better unofficial family. They helped him reconnect with his dad and regain many of the artifacts he had given to the Soviets years ago. Even when he turned evil due to the consequences of using an artifact to turn back time in order to save the world, no member of his unofficial family stopped trying to save and turn him back to normal even after he killed one of them in cold blood and nearly succeed in releasing a deadly plague.
Boomstick: That’s so beautiful. Far better than my disappeared dad. I guess I do have an unofficial family with you, the intern, Ringmaster, and DUMMY now that I think about it……………… Don’t tell the others I said this out loud Wiz or you will be target of my newly bought rocket launcher.
Wiz: I will never mention it if you never say those uncharacteristic words of yours again. Calling Arthur Nielsen and the rest of the Warehouse crew if I ever encounter dodgeballs that multiply to try and kill me or glass jars that turned someone into a zombie is a priority however…………I did not make up these items. All these artifacts and more are safely stored in Warehouse 13 along things such Ghandhis peace emitting cloak. It’s a world of endless wonder indeed.
Arthur Nielsen: ……And that museum is property of the U. S. Government. And so is the Warehouse. And so am I. Secret Service. I also work for Mrs. Frederic. Arthur Nielsen. You can call me Artie.
Jack Horner[]
Wiz: Shrek the Ogre and his companions from the land of Far Far Away has faced many villains of the fairy tale variety since he saved Fiona from the interior of her tower. While some of them paid the price for their depraved actions, most of them in the end proved to have some decency within them as they helped rebuild the Kingdom of Far Far Away of the damage they had caused as Arthur became its king. It’s important to remember though that not all villains can be convinced to change their ways with a good speech.
Boomstick: Arthur’s speech at the end of the third movie causing almost every single fairy tale villain to let go of their evil ways is a bit too clean of an ending if you ask me. Not even this speech would be capable of convincing the most deprived villain of the entire Shrek franchise to change his ways however. Little Jack Horner is too petty and childishly evil for this cheesy speech to work on him.
Wiz: Jack Horner might on the surface look like the massively harmless overweight man he presents himself as the owner of the Jack Horner Pie Company but this just a facade. His sadism, megalomania, jealousy, and cruelty are so beyond normal that most people would guess this is the result of an extremely tragic childhood. The truth of the matter is the complete opposite however as calling him little like Boomstick just did would result in one’s painful death.
Boomstick: The guy freaking grew up with wealthy parents that loved him and made him the inheritor of their successful pie company. He couldn’t have had a better childhood but apparently that was not enough for this ungrateful child whose parents never abandoned him unlike my old man. I really don’t get the Horner kid screaming bloody murder due to the magical creatures of the land “stealing” the spotlight meant for him. Talk about prioritizing the wrong things in life.
Wiz: This kind of prioritizing led Horner to make his parents company into a crime syndicate obsessed with stealing everything magical in the land for himself. There is absolutely nothing redeemable about this overweight man dreaming of world domination using the Wishing star. Him ever turning a new leaf is statistically 100% impossible.
Boomstick: More like infinity percent impossible. I can’t believe I am saying this but did we just find one of the most villainous pieces of shit in the history of fiction? It certainly feels like it.
Wiz: There are not many things we wholeheartedly agree on Boomstick but this is probably one of the few examples of this. Big Jacks various magical weapons could not have fallen into worse hands imaginable.
Boomstick: Jack is horrible but the room full of magical artifacts that he has stolen are awesome making them and him a combination I don’t know how I feel about. Him having a literal endless nanny bag of holding makes him capable of carrying all these magical wonders with him at all times. The fact that it is basically a mini Tardis with it being infinitely bigger on the inside than on the outside to the point of his fat body being able to enter into the bag and disappear is bonkers……………..Wait a second! Nanny bag? Don’t tell me…..?
Wiz: The bag certainly shares many similarities with the one often used by Mary Poppins in fiction so you’re guess is not completely without merit. Jack even having an umbrella that allows one to float into the air makes this possibility even stronger. Speaking of characters that have appeared in Disney properties, did you know Boomstick that Horner apparently have a certain thunder gods hammer in his arsenal as documented in the Junior novelization of the second Puss in Boots movie?
Boomstick: …………………..I take back what I said before. Him stealing from more likeable character make me want this thief to face some serious karma. The cartoonishly evil dude even had the gall to steal the sword in the stone AKA Excalibur. Him being unable to draw it from the stone? Don’t matter in the end as he simply unearthed the stone from the ground and put the entire thing with sword included into his stolen bag.
Wiz: Him uprooting the stone by pulling the sword and using it a bludgeoning club makes it evident that it is not only magical might that Horner possesses. Him slamming it into Goldilocks and the Three Bears sent them flying and broke the stone in half. It’s no wonder he has stolen so many magical items successfully with strength enough to punch through solid glass unharmed and lift a massive board carrying a lot of his stuff.
Boomstick: Jacks overweight body certainly does not look like it could hide strength like that. Appearances can be deceiving sometimes I guess. He and his fat belly actually being able to take a punch from a bear capable of breaking thick stone and come out unscathed proves this. Being somewhat capable of avoiding a few of these same bears claws also proves that being overweight does not mean one is slow as a turtle.
Wiz: Being surprisingly strong, nimble, and durable makes Jack Horner a decently challenging if very predictable opponent. Add all the items in his stolen bag and you have a terrifying opponent. Captain Hooks Hook, Cinderella's glass slipper, dancing brooms, Sleeping Beauty's Spindle, flying carpets, and various other weapons like hatchets, maces, crossbows, and hammers are just a few examples of the things in Jacks arsenal.
Boomstick: Wands that turn pumpkins into a tank-like vehicle for road raging, magic crystal balls to be used for some good fashion tracking and spying purposes, statues that turn people into gold with a single touch for some extra profit, and scepters capable of firing explosive blasts of magic to send both man and bear flying are a couple of examples of stolen booty that I would love to get my hands on myself. My favorite would be those explosive poison apple bombs. They are basically grenades and that makes them infinitely better than regular apples. Using a phoenix like a flamethrower is not something I would do however. I am no saint but compared to Jack who would do that; I might as well be one.
Wiz: We are all saints when compared to Horner. While I have performed some questionable science experiments in the past, cutting off the horns of baby unicorns and using them as ammo for a crossbow is a line I would never cross. Their properties of being able to pierce stone and turn any living organism pierced into confetti are interesting but not enough to make me consider throwing away my morality. Jacks aim with his crossbow being so bad that he managed to hit 3 of his own henchmen instead of his supposed target in Puss in Boots makes these projectiles much less effective than they would have been in someone else’s hands. This does also however bring up one more serious weakness of this petty villain.
Boomstick: It’s not the sheer disregard for the lives of his henchmen as that should not be surprising at this point. It is the fact that despite having a large variety of items; he is shockingly ignorant of what a lot of them actually do. Little Big Jack do have some knowledge as he knew to wear gloves when using the King Midas statue but the effects of the Unicorn horns took him by surprise at first. The crime lord even mistook a bottled Jiminy freaking Cricket as a magical locust that could ravage his foes. Anything that does not look useful is treated like unimportant trash.
Wiz: Another example of an item that Jack really should have learned to use properly is Poseidon's trident. The trident gives one the ability to create large amounts of rain or summon huge waves of water when near the ocean. Jack using it as a throwing projectile is the wrong way to use a weapon such as this. It is a great example however of his strength as the force behind the throw was enough to pierce a large wooden beam.
Boomstick: Not having any knowledge about the majority of his artifacts does not seem to slow down Jacky boy down much though. He has survived taking one of his grenade apples to the face and Puss in Boots knows better than to cross this very tall criminal’s path. This is the same cat that has fought Shrek, faced a giant goose, and taken on the Bloodwolf; a demonic wolf-like being that feeds on fear and claimed to be older than time itself………… The swashbuckler’s fear of Death the wolf makes even more sense now that I think about it.
Wiz: Death being…well Death itself and the Bloodwolf claiming to be able to destroy the entire planet when at full power obviously make Horner look like an ant in comparison and unabled to be scaled to these supernatural being at all. Puss being wary of him does mean however that while he might not consider Jack an apocalypse level threat; he certainly is not an enemy to be underestimated.
Boomstick: Puss can tank being thrown from the middle of a desert to the plaza of the nearest town as well as survive having giant boulders thrown his way at high speeds. The skilled kitty kat can also dodge magical lightning and run while carrying an entire horse on his back. I get the sudden feeling that if we ever allowed a rematch of a certain cat-mouse fight; the result would probably be a lot different with all the new feats the cat in boots have nowadays.
Wiz: Another reason for the wariness of Jack might have something to do with his personal favorite item in his arsenal. Having some magical snacks that turns one to the size of a very large building makes the user someone to be feared indeed. While none of his magical items grow in size with him, his much larger body gives Horner a huge boost in strength and durability. Using a shrinking potion to return to normal is not exactly the biggest priority to Jack when he swats his foes out of the way like annoying flies.
Boomstick: Turning even more tall and fat than before might be his secret weapons but it’s not what he considers will be the top item in his stolen bag for the foreseeable future. That would be the power of the mystical wishing star that he raced Puss in Boots, Goldilocks, and their respective parties to acquire. Gaining the ability to wish for anything in existence when standing in a certain place and reading of an incantation written on a particular magical map in their grasp is required for the wish to be accepted. Kind of complicated but at least it made sure the worst person imaginable didn’t gain his not-deserved wish.
Wiz: There does not seem to be a limit to the wishing stars capabilities so it is indeed worthy to seek out. Jacks wish of gaining every piece of magic in existence would be disastrous for the universe he hails from. Him actually being seconds away from getting that wish fulfilled due to turning giant at the most unfortunate moment send shivers down my spine Boomstick when I think about it.
Boomstick: Giant ego and body combined does not always mean victory thankfully. Karma finally got hold of this despicable excuse for a human when Puss in Boots and his allies basically used their speed and agility to get wishing star map from the giant buffoons grasp and destroy it. The nerve of Jacky boy asking what he did to deserve this as the area around him exploded is kind of pathetic if you ask me.
Wiz: Pathetic is indeed the right word to describe Jack Horner. If he did not actively enjoy being evil and a jerk to everyone that meet him, he might have had a microscopic chance at redemption and life. Jiminy and the phoenix ultimately indirectly killing him is very much deserved in the end. No person in the right mind would ever mourn the passing of Jack Horner.
Boomstick: Very much true Wiz. Finding him kind of hilarious and laughing at the sheer over the top bad guy characteristics of Jack is something that I will do for a long time to come however. It’s kind of refreshing watching a villain simply enjoying being an evil piece of shit nowadays don’t you think Wiz.
Wiz: In our current world filled with sympathetic and complex villains and anti-heroes, Jack Horner certainly made a huge mark with his evil ways. If he enjoyed himself until the very end, Jack definitely did not regret a single thing about his life no matter how much some people wish otherwise.
Jack Horner: "Little" Jack Horner didn't have any magic. He was a pathetic buttered baker's boy. "Little" Jack is dead... I'm "BIG" Jack Horner!
Intermission[]
Wiz: All right, the combatants are set, it's time to end this debate once and for all!
Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!
Death Battle![]
Warehouse 13, South Dakota:
Appearances can be deceiving. What might look like a run-down IRS warehouse located somewhere in South Dakota could be something else entirely. The evidence proving this is currently making a mess inside the walls of this Warehouse.
Murderous bakers were running down the aisles between the shelfs equipped with medieval weapons. The agents in charge were being attacked from all sides. One baker was knocked out curtsey of a kick from the nearest agent while another group was zapped into unconsciousness by a blast of electricity from the steampunk gun an second agent used on them. The two remaining agents were running away down an aisle with a group of the murderous bakers in hot pursuit.
It might look like a scene out of a cheesy TV show but in reality; it was a normal day for the agents of Warehouse 13. It didn’t mean however that things like this happening on a regular basis were welcomed. Especially when one of agents had once again accidentally caused something like this to happen with their inability to be careful around the shelves full of magical artifacts.
Myka: Please tell me you know which artifacts caused this invasion of lethal chefs Pete!
Pete: I would like to say yes Mykes but the answer is no. The ball I dribbled when practicing my moves kind of disrupted several artifacts all at once.
A Baker holding a large hammer tried to sneak up on Pete from behind as he zapped another group of Bakers with his Tesla. Myka on the other hand noticed the enemy coming up from behind so she ran forwards and punched the baker in the face knocking him out. Pete had many flaws but she was not about to lose another partner on her watch.
Myka: We have been through much worse than this so we should be OK until Artie gets here. Where is Artie anyway?
The mention of their grumpy boss and senior agent caused Pete to laugh nervously. Myka narrowed her eyes at this little change in posture. She was definitely not going to like what Pete was about to say next.
Pete: About where Artie is, it’s actually a very funny story….
Pete turning around to point at a modern Television laying on the floor told Myka everything she needed to understand to know where Artie currently was. Sometimes she wished she could just have a normal day without anything trying to kill or trap them for a change. Today was no such day however and the one who usually could help them get through days like this was stuck inside an TV.
As Pete and Myka took off to find Claudia and Steve in order to figure how to fix this large mess, Arthur Nielsen found himself regaining consciousness wherever the TV had sent him and he was not amused at all as he got back up on his feet.
Arthur Nielsen: Dam it Pete! How many times do I have to tell you not to mess around in the vicinity of the artifacts! You will be cleaning the Gooery from top to bottom for sending me who knows where.
The area around him looked like an old Spanish bakery factory so had the TV sent him back in time? Hopefully that was not true as getting involved in any more time travel was the last thing Artie would ever want. The consequences of using time travel had scared him for life. Claudia and the others might have forgiven him but he could never forgive himself for the actions he took when “evil”.
A sound from the other corner of the factory floor alerted Arthur that he wasn’t alone. The person he saw exiting the remains of a pumpkin tank of sort caused Artie to both sigh in relief and groan out of frustration. Thankfully he had not been sent back in time. Unfortunately, he had been sent into an animated movie instead. At least it wasn’t a spanish telenovela he had gotten stuck in this time.
Jack Horner: Don’t know what happened. Did I accidentally disintegrate my men and ruin my ride with that lightshow somehow? Well you know what they say; Can't bake a pie without losing a few dozen men.
Seems like the hunt for the wishing star had been delayed but Jack Horner wasn’t too worried about his current predicament. Finding some new replaceable henchmen and fixing his beautiful armored pumpkin carriage should be easy to do. Learning how he summoned that strange blue light that caused this little turn of events might be a little harder seeing as he did not know which artifact in his nanny bag caused this. Those pesky bears and kittens would be so much in trouble for daring to steal from him when he figured out which trinket did this.
Jack Horner: Don’t worry my kitties and cubs. Enjoy this extended victory. I'll get you and your little dog eve…………………..On the other hand, I think I will get my revenge right now.
Learning how to summon that blue light went from something of low priority to extremely high priority the second Jack witnessed something having appeared on the floor of his factory. The map to the wishing star was laying limply on the ground and next to it was a gigantic glowing star-shaped crater. Trading his men for both the star and map was a trade Jack was all too glad had occurred. Now if he could just figure out how it happened exactly.
The glowing star-like structure and the map resting next to it also caught Arties attention. Had a couple of artifacts fallen into this TV world as well? If this was the case, collecting them before they fell into the wrong hands was essential. The overgrown animated man in front of him very much looked like someone that should not be allowed to handle an artifact.
Arthur Nielsen: Excuse me Mr. I am awfully sorry if I am disturbing you. Please don’t touch that. Let me handle this object instead. I am kind of an expert when it comes to things that smell fudge.
Picking up some kind of wooden staff out the bag in his hands was what Horner did the second he laid eyes on Artie. The senior warehouse agent stopped in his tracks the moment he saw the staff. The man already had a group of artifacts it seemed unfortunately.
Jack Horner: I am getting tired of idiots that try to steal from me. I summoned the map and star here which means they belong to me old man. Stay and watch as I use the wishing star to get all the magic in the lands for myself.
A thief late to the party was not allowed to stop him from stealing the attention away from all the magical creatures of the world for himself. The magical blast released from the scepter never reached its target however. A stream of electricity from Arties Tesla collided with it midair causing a small magical explosion.
Arthur Nielsen: Just my luck! Why did I have to run into a psychotic cartoon villain with dreams of grandeur and a bag of artifacts? Claudia is so going to tease me for this and ask if I just meet my evil twin from another universe.
Some of the words uttered confused Jack as he had no idea of their significance. One thing was clear however and that caused Horner to let out a hearty laugh. It looked like the old man had some artifacts worthy of stealing. Kicking an old man in order to get his new toys would be fun.
Jack Horner: Did you just call me a monster with that description? Thanks for the compliment. Does not mean however that you will be walking out of here alive.
The way Jack was acting caused a blood vessel to almost burst in Arties brain. Arthur had met many disgusting human beings in his time as a warehouse agent but this man made all of them look like saints in comparison. Even MacPherson and Sykes had good sides to them unlike the animated villain in front of him.
What made Artie even madder was the way Horner treated the scepter in his hands and if the room with broken artifacts to the side was any indication; any artifacts in his opponents grasp needed to be removed from him immediately. They would be treated with the care they deserved after he used the wishing artifact to get out of here.
Arthur Nielsen: That was not a compliment. Those 2 artifacts are my tickets out of this animated hell so you better not get in my way. I will be taking that bag as well. You don’t seem to have any respect for them so you don’t deserve to have them.
Jack Horner: Thanks for admitting being here to steal from me. Did you seriously think stealing from Little Jack Horner would be easy? Little Jack is dead. I am Big Jack Horn…..
FIGHT!
A sudden electrifying feeling tingling throughout Jacks body courtesy of a Tesla blast from Artie made the criminal fall to his knees in pain and unable to finish his sentence. The warehouse agent rolled his eyes as he tried to approach the map. Why do villains in animated properties have to act so over the top? There is a good reason why he does not waste his time in front of Television anymore unlike some people he know.
Arthur Nielsen: Sit there and try not to be such a stereotypical villain Jack if you don’t want to be zapped again. I will be taking all these artifacts and leave you alone to further destroy your life.
Nielsen never reached the wishing star map as Jack got up on his feet and charged at him. The force of the much larger man slamming into Artie caused him to be sent into a wooden table breaking it into pieces in the process. When Horner tried to follow this up with a magical blast from his scepter, Artie was ready however and released another steam of Tesla electricity.
The magical blast and Tesla lightning collided once again causing a small explosion in the middle of main factory room. Both combatants were close enough to the explosion that the force behind it caused them to be sent sliding backwards and the weapons in their hands to be flung from their grasp. Their magical bags remained in their possession however which they immediately opened in order to find a suitable item for the occasion.
Jack Horner: Thank you for your kindness old man. Let me repay your generosity with a golden gift.
A gold statue was picked up by the hand of Jack that was wearing a glove. Jack let out an evil laugh as he then proceeded to throw it towards his opponent. The sight of this old man turning into gold the moment he touched it was going to be magnificent. Nobody messes with Jack Horner and gets away with it.
What happened in reality made Jacks entire face turn red in frustration.
Jack Horner: What? Not fair! You should be a gold statue.
Using a pink glove designed to allow the wearer to grab unstable artifacts made the golden statue unable to affect Arthur as he caught it midair. A noose was thrown in the air by him not long afterwards as Jack out of frustration picked out a Poison apple from his bag of tricks. The apple could not be thrown in time due to the noose wrapping around the nearest wooden beam. Jack found himself struggling to breath as he was hoisted into the air by something invisible.
Artie on the other hand did not spare this sight a single glance. He was far more interested in the artifact currently in his grasp. Just thinking of all the people this little thing had killed made him determine to neutralize it as quick as possible. Neutralizing the statue by throwing it into a cannister of goo from his bag turned out to be the incorrect action however as this made the lead agent unaware of what his opponent was currently up to with a strong grasp still on the poison apple in his hand.
Arthur Nielsen: King Midas hand? To think you possessed an artifact like this! This artifact should not be allowed to be out in the wild like this.
Explosion sounds echoing across the room and a burning noose landing beside him made Artie eyes widen and look up to see his foe no longer hovering in the air. Jack Horner was instead standing on the ground with 5 new poison apples in his hand ready to be thrown. All these apples hit a wall made up of pick-up sticks thrown into the air by Nielsen. A wall standing in his way did not deter Jack in the slightest as he removed something else from his magical bag. Something that made Arthurs jaw drop once witnessed.
Removed out of the bag was Excalibur which Artie knew was already somewhere in the Warehouse. It might have a huge rock stuck on it but it was definitely the legendary sword that inspired the Arthur myth. Wondering how it had gotten into Horner’s hands had to wait due to said foe running at him with sword raised. The large stone slamming into the wall of pick-up sticks caused it to splinter apart and leaving Arthur open to be attacked as well.
Horner never got the chance to follow up the sword swing with another as a sudden beam of light came out of nowhere and hit him right between the eyes. The sword fell to the ground not long afterwards where canister of sticky string made it impossible for Jack to lift it again in the near future.
Jack Horner: My Eyes! They burn! What did you do?
A punch to the face was the answer sent Jacks way. It made him more pissed of than hurt however. How was an old man thief turning out to be more annoying than those blasted talking fairy tale animals? Turning him momentarily blind was something the thief would come to regret.
Arthur Nielsen: For someone that likes artifacts, you don’t know the history of a lot of them do you Jack. This is a shard from the Lens of the Lighthouse of Alexand……….
What might have devolved into a 10-minute long artifact lecture was interrupted by Jack picking up a large table and swinging it around him in an attempt to send his fellow artifact collector foe flying. It did not hit Arthur as the agent managed to step out of reach in time. It did prevent a couple thrown canisters of sticky string from reaching Horner instead however by swatting them aside. The crime lords sight returned to witness the sticky strings canisters hitting the walls of the factory covering them in sticky substances.
Without anything currently in their hands to use, both Arthur and Jack immediately started rummaging through their bags to grab the first thing their fingers touched. A wooden carving of an animal head along with an old barometer was removed from Arties bag while an armed crossbow was dragged out of Jacks.
Jack Horner: Stop boring me. Allow me to use you as a guinea Pig old man instead. Whatever this does is probably much more fun to see than hearing your stupid lecture.
His lectures were not boring thank you very much! Not only was this buffoon a terrible human being, he was also openly disrespectful of history. Perhaps showing the SS Eldridge barometer in action will make Jack reconsider this stance. The likelihood of needing the barometer to stop time never came as the horn-like projectiles being shoot out of the crossbow hit every single thing around him except their supposed target.
Arthur Nielsen: Are you even trying to hit me? Even Claudia has better aim than you for crying out loud.
All the objects pierced by the baby unicorn horns transforming into confetti made Jack eyes lit up like as if he had received the best birthday present ever and Artie activating the barometer to stoop time as a safety precaution. 47 seconds was not a long time but it was enough to tear the crossbow out Jacks Hands and spray it with an artifact neutralization spray. It also lasted long enough for Arties to put the carved animal head in the place of the crossbow where it exploded and covered Horner in a cocoon of spider webs.
The childlike glee in Jacks eyes disappeared the moment time went back to normal to see his new predicament and his foe trying to steal his bag of magical items. To the left of him laid his crossbow having been stepped into pieces and baby unicorn horns having lost all their color. Destroying what was his was worse than theft and it was with this thought that Jack Horner tore through the spiderweb constricting him to grab Artie by the throat. The barometer fell from his hands as Artie had a painful idea of what was about to happen next.
Arthur Nielsen: Oh Dear. This isn’t good.
Being slammed to the ground and then thrown across the room made Artie painfully aware that some of his bones had been broken. The pain was not as strong or emotionally hurting as the time when MacPherson betrayed him. That was the kind of pain that followed not long after when Artie witnessed to his horror the sight of Jack opening his bag with an evil look on his face.
Jack Horner: Thanks for adding a second magical nanny bag to my collection. Now let’s see what you have in here……Boring……Looks Ok…….Useless………Now this is more like it.
Confusion appeared on Jacks face as he continuously threw out artifacts like as if they were worthless pieces of trash. Where were the cool things shown before? Who cares about strange looking binoculars and horns when there was probably much better stuff hidden in his foes bag of tricks. What finally obtained the criminals attention was a glassblowing tube.
Arthur Nielsen: Please don’t use that. It has the power to kill a person by blowing into it. It once belonged to….
Jack Horner: Sounds fun. Let’s give it a try on you shall we………….Huh?
Artie could not help but chuckle at Jacks puzzled face when blowing into the tube did not cause the desired effect. The confusion would not last long however so Artie made a quick dash for one of the artifacts thrown away. Opening the inkwell and throwing some of the ink in front of Horner’s feet caused the animated villain to fall through the floor with a yelp. Knowing one’s artifacts properties came in handy at times like this.
This battle was far from over though and Nielsen knew it. After quickly reclaiming his bag and carefully returning several artifacts thrown out of it, the warehouse agent made his way to the ink hole to look down on his foe. As expected, Horner was still alive with his own magical bag in one hand and a umbrella in the other for quick ascent into the air.
Arthur Nielsen: I very much dislike using a weapon like this but fortunately for me; I don’t think I will shed a tear for you in my dreams.
The agent of the Warehouse 13 meant every word as he picked up his gun and fired several rounds of bullets downwards. Regardless whether he was animated or if the artifacts possessed by him belonged to this animated movie instead of having been transported here from the warehouse, Jack Horner deserved no sympathies. Being pierced by a swarm of bullets had surprisingly little effect on his rising foe however. Artie could not help but groan in annoyance once the reason came to him.
Arthur Nielsen: Why do television characters always have to possess superhuman durability? I am feeling that Claudia is so going to tell me that this is my own fault for skipping out on what today’s people call entertainment.
Claudia chuckled when she heard this comment come out of the TV from where she was sitting with a bowl of popcorn. She could try and help Pete and the others to find a way to get Artie out but watching everything going on the TV screen was way more fun. It was also a goldmine for things to tease her boss about later as well.
Horner had something far more nefarious in mind than teasing as he rose out of the ink hole and settled himself back on the ground. If the old man thief wanted to play with fire, his wish would soon be fulfilled.
Jack Horner: That hurt though not as much as the new flamethrower I am about to test on you.
The phoenix in Jacks hands could not even complain as the crime lord pressed its body so hard that it was forced to vomit up large amounts of deadly flames. An inferno completely covered Nielsen from top to bottom in destructive flames to Jacks delight. There was no way the thief would be able to survive this with all the boring looking artifact left in his bag. The phoenix in his grasp suddenly coughing to the point of entering the sleep of death didn’t make the sight of the enormous fire any less awesome.
Jack Horner: Seems like it was defective. No biggie however. I probably have something equally as destructive around here somewhere.
What completely canceled the illusion of victory came walking out of the flames extinguish them in the process. Jacks jaw hit the floor and his face turned blood red out of anger when he noticed Artie giving him a smug smile and the dead phoenix in his hand a look of regret.
Arthur Nielsen: You used a phoenix as a flamethrower? You truly are an irredeemable monster.
Jack Horner: Duh! Did it seriously take you this long to figure that out? You are pretty dumb aren’t you old man.
Being complimented did not make up for all the humiliation so it was time to take out the big guns. Let’s see if the hammer he stole from that blond buff idiot some time ago works as well as it did for its past owner. What meet Jacks sight when opening his bag once again was not the endless void within. In its place was the inside of a normal bag with no magical items to be seen anywhere.
Arthur Nielsen: Still not as dumb as you look like right now Jack. Looks like all your artifacts have been gooed and neutralized.
Using the phoenix artifact brought back some unpleasant memories but it had been worth it. Using the flames as a distraction to throw a Goo-Nade onto his foes similar bag of tricks to his own undetected definitely was making escaping this animated prison much easier. If only the disgusting excuse for a man had died instead of the graceful creature of legend however.
The crime lord’s loss for words did not last long as he noticed a small bottle along with a delicious looking cookie in the distance. They must have fallen out of his bag unnoticed during the intense battle. Luckily for him and unfortunately for the infuriating thief, he knew exactly how to use these items awesome magic. Artie noticed the items eventually as well and threw a Tesla grenade towards Jack but it was already too late. The Tesla grenade zapping Horner with tons of electricity did nothing to stop him from reaching the 2 items and unleashing the bottles contents.
Jack Horner: Magical locust; Fly and feast on this old man. Tear him apart.
Jack Horner prepared to witness a swarm of bugs devour his foe while Arthur reached into his bag to find the supersonic cymbals. Both of them stopped in their tracks however when the inhabitant of the bottle made its presence known on Jacks shoulder.
Ethical Bug: I am no locus and I don’t tear people apart. I simply sit on your shoulder and judge your actions and the quality of your character.
Arthur Nielsen: Fascinating! A living artifact that judges a person’s actions! Reminds me of the time I…….
The warehouse agent’s fascination with the talking cricket was not shared by Jack who sighed with disappointment however. Hopefully the second item would not be equally as disappointing.
Jack Horner: Try and catch him if you’re so interested in this useless bug. I on the other hand is going to take a short snack break.
His fellow artifact user grabbing the bug and throwing it across the room towards some of the still remaining flames made Nielsen act quickly. With bag in hand, he rushed forward and managed to catch the falling cricket just before it reached the fire. There was no way he would allow something like this to be lost due to a sadistic person like Horner. His disarmed Tesla laid on the ground not too far away so after Artie grabbed it and put the unconscious cricket into his bag for safekeeping; he turned around to get revenge for the artifact only to be faced with something unexpected.
It was at times like this that Arthur Nielsen questioned somewhat his dedication to keep working as the lead agent of Warehouse 13. Facing a giant Jack Horner about to step on him was not an endless wonder he was very thrilled to take part in. Even Mrs. Fredrick would probably agree with this statement.
Arthur Nielsen: I am getting too old for things like this.
Fear turned to determination however as Artie zapped the incoming foot with his Telsa. The result however made Jack kick him with enough force to launch him through a brick wall and out into the streets outside the factory instead of simply stepping on him. Seeing his opponent flying was definitely more fun than turning him into a pancake after all. The grand finale to this little fight was going to even more entertaining.
Jack Horner: Now that is what I call getting the boot. Finally there is no one standing between me and my wish. I was worried for a second though that I would come out naked but my clothes grew too. Cool.
From where he lay bloodied on the street, Artie had an unfortunately good view of the horror he knew was about commence. The roof having been torn of the building when Jack grew made sure of that. The giant picking up the small map and standing in the star-shaped crater was the worst outcome possible. There was no way to get home with both his own and the misused artifacts now. He had los……………….
A sudden thought making its presence known caused Arthurs eyes to widen. There was still one way that he could win and return home to his unofficial family. What was required for this to occur successfully was a couple specific items he knew could be accessed through his bag. With a plan in mind, the senior agent opened his bag praying that it did not jinx him at this exact moment.
Arthur Nielsen: Please don’t fail me now. Give me the items I know will get me out of this mess.
The wishing star map in his grasp and the wish of his dreams about to be fulfilled made Jack Horner completely oblivious to his opponent’s actions. It would not matter in the end however. Any magic in the thief’s possession would be his soon anyway so there was no need to worry. To be more accurate, all the magic in the lands would be his right now.
Jack Horner: Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might have this wish of all the magic in the land being mine and mine alone.
A change could be felt in the fabric of space the instant Jack finished speaking. The air started to shimmer all around the giant crime lord. Items and creatures of magic all teleported into the vicinity of Jack. Almost all items to be exact as Artie noted with a grin where lay on the ground with broken legs and 2 barely functioning arms. Horner on the other hand was too enamored with everything hovering besides him that a few omissions did not occur to him right away.
Jack Horner: I did it. All the magic in the world is mine. This feeling flowing through my body is so intoxicatingly good. The reign of fairy tales is over. The reign of Jack Horner has begun.
He had done it. He had actually managed to acquire what had rightfully belonged to him all these years. No cat, bear, or old man had managed to best Big Jack Horner. Victory was his to gloat in for all time to come. Every single miniscule piece of magic was under his………command?
One specific thing missing from all the objects floating around him made the giant Jack Horner pause and look down on his defeated foe. Artie was indeed where he had been laying since kicked but that was not what Jacks eyes widened at. What had caught the giant’s attention was the bag and Silverware Fork held tightly by Arties barely working right hand.
Arthur Nielsen: Surprised at me being alive and still possessing all my artifacts? I could tell you how Jack though I suppose you will just interrupt me again if I try. I will tell you to look up however.
The giant firework lightshow illuminating the sky caused its effect to spread through Jacks body the second he looked up and witnessed it. Something similar occurred to everyone else in the vicinity with the sole exception being Artie due to wearing sunglasses. Everything had gone exactly as planned. There was no need to use up the entirety of the 10 minutes gained. Arthur Nielsen was going to end this battle right now. All the artifacts of this world were about to be free of their evil masters will once and for all.
Arthur Nielsen: Say Cheese!
Light originating from the Dimensional Conversion Camera in Neilsen left hand illuminated the giant mesmerized figure of Jack Horner and turned him from a 3-dimensional figure into a black and white 2D version of himself in a matter of seconds. It didn’t make Jack any prettier in Arties opinion but that was irrelevant. The battle was over and Arties body felt itself feeling relived that no more pain was going to come its way.
As if the universe fully agreed with the bruised but alive agent of Warehouse 13, a huge gust of wind came out of nowhere and slammed right into the 2D version of Jack causing the giant to fall backwards. Sharp buildings pierced the body when it roughly fell to the ground. The face fell onto a sharp tower that teared it into thousands of pieces.
Big Jack Horner was finally gone for good. No one was ever going to be in trouble of incurring his wrath ever again.
KO!
The entire town went quiet after that strong gust of wind swept though. No movement occurred either due to the townspeople still being in the fireworks trance and Artie having no energy to move his body anymore for the moment. Regardless of whether the wind had been natural or magical in nature, Artie was too exhausted to even question this sudden development. Horner also did not deserve any more thoughts about him now that he was gone from this animated world.
Arthur Nielsen: Not what I was trying to do but seeing as karma definitely had its sight on you; I won’t complain too much. Jack was simply an animated character after all and not a real being. Speaking of what’s real, I know you are watching this Pete. Get me out this instant or you will be cleaning both the Gooery and the dark vault for a year.
Light similar to the kind that had deposited him in this animated world appearing above him made Arthur smile. Looks like his hypothesis that his family knew of his location and had been working non-stop to return him to the confines of the Warehouse had been correct. Hopefully all the artifacts sent with him would return to reality as well. Regardless of this and all the annoying doting about to come his way curtsey of Claudia and the others, seeing them again after all that had happened was going to a very nice reward.
Arthur Nielsen and all the artifact he had brought with him disappeared in the same way they had appeared. Their presence that took down the most dangerous crime boss in the lands was going to be felt for decades to come.
- Arthur Nielsen is carried onto a stretcher by Claudia and Steve while Pete and Myka sends all the unconscious members of the Baker's Dozen back into the TV.
- Large groups of people arrive where the shredded 2D Jack Horner is and proceed to both reclaim their magical artifacts and set the remains of the crime lord on fire.
Results[]
Boomstick: What a surprising turn of events…….Just kidding! Some good old Karma swopping in to assist in sending this vile man down to hell was really only a matter of time even if Jack had somehow won this little magical item battle of wits.
Wiz: Past actions will always come back to haunt someone especially if their actions were irredeemable bad in every single way. Karma does not have anything to do with the outcome of a battle to the death however. For this specific battle, it was always going to be the items held by Arthur and Jack that determined which of them had the largest chance of success. A pure close quarters brawl was never going to determine the victor for this bout with this in mind.
Boomstick: If it had all come down to a challenge of just physical attributes, Jacky boy would have completely stomped Artie to the point of it not being fun to watch. Regardless if he is scaled to the kitten in boots or not, the criminals strength and durability dwarfed the warehouse agents own physical stats. Jack took a grenade apple to the face without receiving any serious injuries while Artie getting stabbed with a sword left him almost completely incapacitated for several weeks. No more needs to be said as this clearly shows a massive gap in sheer physicality that grumpy could never hope to reach.
Wiz: True but like I said before; artifacts and their abilities was always going to be the key to victory. Both the number of supernatural items as well as their capability to end a fight before it even begins were important when looking over both combatants’ arsenal inside their bags of holding. The conclusion we came upon after analyzing every single item was that while Jack Horner might have the obvious advantage in all physical stats; Arthur Nielsens arsenal of artifacts made his opponents look puny in comparison.
Boomstick: We didn’t even have to look hard to figure this out. One have an bag that basically gives him access to a warehouse filled with hundreds of artifacts and has the encyclopedic knowledge to use them all correctly while the other one have a single room of items in comparison that he knows next to nothing about in terms of their abilities. Kind of obvious of who should win based on this huh Wiz.
Wiz: A lot of Arties artifacts like the barometer, binoculars, sticky string canisters, fireworks, noose, and many more examples do indeed have functions that allowed for an instant win or create opportunities to find the correct item for the situation from his bag. Many of these items can be used from a distance making the situation of a close quarters brawl like Boomstick described extremely unlikely to happen. To be fair, Horner does have a few instant kill items of his own like the baby unicorn horns, Poseidon’s Trident, and the gold statue. None of them were likely to win him this battle unfortunately due to bad aim, lack of knowledge, and Arties artifact neutralization items.
Boomstick: Neutralization goo plus over 35 years of experience of hunting artifact plus genius level intelligence plus everything already mentioned equals a big fat near 0% chance of victory for Jacky boy here. Even turning big Alice in wonderland style does not make him any less immune to the army of instant kill items about to be used on him. Is there any way the over-the-top villain could actually win this bout Wiz? I am not asking because I actually care about him which I don’t. I am simply curious.
Wiz: There are situations where Jack can get in close and punch his opponent to death or get a lucky break with an artifact that takes Arties out of the fight. This is why Jacks chance for victory is near 0% and not actually 0%. Now many might hypothesize that giving the crime boss access to everything required for his horrible wish could increase this percentage quite a bit. Even if we considered giving Horner this improbable advantage, the likelihood of victory for Jack wouldn’t go up that much to both your and our surprise.
Boomstick: Even giving Horner an unfair advantage won’t change the result? Wow! Just wow! Didn’t think I would ever see a character from a more reality-based world stomp a character from an animated movie. Is it not the opposite that usually occurs instead? Having a silverware fork with the ability to turn the wielder immune to timey-wimey and space-wimey shenanigans really saves Arties bacon in these unfair situations. Past irredeemable actions apparently mean getting stomped in a death battle.
Wiz: Regardless of karma finally getting its revenge on the crime boss, there are some things that both him and his opponet have irrefutably in common. Warehouse agent Arthur Nielsen and Big Jack Horner enjoyed their life to the fullest despite their vastly different lifestyles. Having a family that loves you and enjoying being the worst person imaginable without regret makes both a winner in the end if you think about it this way. The crime lord’s physical might not stacking up to the overwhelming arsenal and intelligence of the senior agent makes him unable to win in the arena of a death battle fortunately.
Boomstick: In a way, Jack actually got what he wanted in the end. His nursery rhyme just got turned into tale of adventure for Arthur to tell in a dramatic way. Looks like the crime boss got collected in a sense and deposited with many of the other adventures involving Warehouse 13.
Wiz: The winner is Arthur Nielsen.
