Katniss vs


Introduction[]

Mortician: Tris Prior, the Divergent

Redshock: Katniss Everdeen, the Mockingjay.

Mortician: Dystopian fiction. This genre has spawned worlds that are dark yet colorful at the same time, and has given us a selection of equally colorful characters.

Redshock: And today, two of dystopian fiction's most iconic heroines will face off today. I'm Redshock and he's Mortician and it is our job to analyze their weapons, powers and abilities to see who will win in a Death Battle!

Beatrice Prior[]

Mortician: In a dark alternate future in the city of Chicago, there exist five factions: the brave Dauntless, the selfless Abnegation, the intelligent Erudite, the honest Candor, and the peaceful Amity. This system of government was to divide the people based on their aptitudes and personalities...

Redshock: Buuut it turns out people in factions have really fucked up genetic codes.

Mortician: The people who possess qualities from every faction are known as Divergents, who are...slightly different from people who are grouped in factions. And that group-the Divergent group-is where our heroine falls under.

Redshock: Yeah, you see, Tris is supposed to be special. Yeah, she kinda is. She's special 'cause she's the one with the normal genetic code. Ugh, this paradox shit's giving me a migraine...

Mortician: Beatrice Prior was born in the faction Abnegation, where she was taught by her family to follow the faction's code and be selfless. She abided, but due to her Divergent blood, she began to consider her own wants. When she turned sixteen, Beatrice was made to choose between a knife and a piece of cheese

Redshock: Because she apparently didn't want to stab people or eat stale cheese, she refused, and the computer went bonkers, sorta, and decided she belonged to three factions.

Mortician: This was when she was informed of her Divergent blood. Divergents, you see, are people that possess more than one distinctive trait of a faction, and Beatrice just happens to be one of them.

Redshock: Potentially belonging to three factions, Beatrice decided to enter Dauntless. You know, the cool faction that plays games, gets tattoos, and does gratuitous parkour! Because if that doesn't sound badass in dystopian fiction standards, I don't know what does. Then she decided she was leaving her old life, and then changed her name to...Tris.

Mortician: And it turns out that Tris was already more than qualified to become a Dauntless...if she wasn't already qualified in the other factions due to her Divergent blood. She is physically stronger than the average human, being able to break the glass tank she was encased in.

Redshock: She also possesses aim, stamina, and endurance above that of an average human. I mean, she was able to hold her own against some of the Dauntless' top guns for a while! And thanks to her training in Dauntless, Tris is a force to be reckoned with in close-quarters combat.

Mortician: She's also got some anime-level willpower, like that time she was under a death serum and she refused to give up 'cause, well...willpower.

Redshock: While a strong fighter in her own right, Tris isn't lacking in the strategizing department either. At first, she might come off as a brash and impulsive combatant, but she is certainly capable of analyzing her opponents' combat styles and forming strategies based on her knowledge. In fact, the ability to think outside the box is Tris's most prominent ability.

Mortician: Such a person as this one doesn't come up short on impressive feats. She became the top initiate in her Dauntless batch in record time; she was able to overcome her fears in her fear landscape; was able to resist a death serum for a while 'cause rule of cool; and she actually helped in toppling the Erudite faction...though this only turned out for the worse.

Redshock: Tris does have impressive abilities and feats to her name, but that doesn't mean she isn't without her weaknesses. She is an excellent strategist, sure, but her main weakness is that she sometimes lets her emotions overtake her in certain situations.

Mortician: While this makes her a force to be reckoned with, there's the fact that her emotions may remove her capacity to think rationally in a given situation. And while she's basically the Guts of Divergent, Tris is still a normal human, and a well-placed fatal blow can do her in.

Redshock: Despite all of this, there's a reason why Tris isn't a person you shouldn't underestimate. If her accomplishments in the books weren't enough to clue you in...Why's she a force to be reckoned with? 'Cause Tris is just a normal person.

Beatrice Prior: “We're like the Factionless now. We've left everything behind, but we found ourselves and each other. Tomorrow we may have to fight again, but for now we'll ride the train to the end of the line. And then, we'll jump”.

Katniss Everdeen[]

Mortician: In the land of Panem, which was once North America, there exist thirteen districts. They are ruled under the thumb of a totalitarian Capitol, which had defeated the Districts in war seventy-five years ago.

Redshock: And to constantly rub their defeat in their face, the Capitol forces twenty-four kids from each district to fight to the death for the personal enjoyment of the rich kids. ...God, this society is fucked up.

Mortician: This blood sport is called the Hunger Games, an event which picks twenty-four young people from each district and, well...forces them to fight to the death. Fast-forward to the 74th Hunger Games, and we're introduced to its champion, Katniss Everdeen.

Redshock: Katniss was born into the poorest District, the Twelfth. After losing her dad in a mine explosion, Katniss took it upon herself to keep her family alive by constantly going out into the wilderness to hunt for food. Mostly because her mom does jack shit!

Mortician: Then came the day of reckoning...the day of the Reaping. Two champions would be selected to represent District Twelve in the 74th Hunger Games. Much to Katniss's horror, a female champion had been chosen, but it wasn’t her but her young sister Primrose. Not wanting her baby sister to be mauled to death by 23 teens, Katniss intervened.

Redshock: Katniss had volunteered to represent the District in Prim's place, effectively making her the first tribute to volunteer to participate in the Games. And then some dude called Peter Mark or something was chosen to become the male representative.

Mortician: You mean Peeta Mellark?

Redshock: Yeah, yeah, something whatever, Anyway, both tributes were sent to the Capitol of Panem, where the tributes would have the time to impress the judges before the brutal kid-slaughtering contest. And Katniss was able to surprise and impress them...and all she did was shoot an arrow at an apple in a roasted pig's mouth!

Mortician: With her skills in archery, when she was thrust into the Hunger Games, Katniss was able to not only survive, but win the Hunger Games as well. But Katniss was special, it would turn out that the results of this year's Games would differ from the rest. You see, Katniss didn't wish to kill Peeta, so she tricked the Gamemakers into giving them the win. This incited the ire of President Snow, who had Gamemaker Seneca Crane killed after the latter declared Katniss and Peeta the winners of the Games.

Redshock: Katniss and Peeta would live on to fight another day...until they got thrust into the Games...again. Every 25 years of the Hunger Games a special game would be called the Quarter Quell which is much different from the others. This had twenty-four champions from previous Hunger Games to compete.

Mortician: But after making a few allies and blowing up the arena, Katniss became a symbol of hope and freedom from the Capitol’s control and started a second revolution against Snow and the Capitol.

Redshock: Given her tenure in District 12, Katniss has grown to become a hardened survivalist. She is an excellent shot with her bow and arrow, her primary weapon. Aside from normal arrows, this bow comes packed with explosive arrows and incendiary arrows, perfect for extra firepower!

Mortician: Katniss isn't too shabby in close combat either. She can fight with a knife, and when she joined the rebellion, she became trained in her own fair share of hand-to-hand combat. But where Katniss truly excels is her survival skills. She is capable of hiding her presence from the combatants of the Hunger Games, as well as setting traps and coming up with strategies in the heat of battle.

Redshock: With all of her skills, it's no wonder Katniss has survived this long. She's won the 74th Hunger Games, survived long in the Third Quarter Quell before District 13 rescued her, slaughtered a bunch of CPU's set at the maximum difficulty in less than 30 seconds, and ultimately sparked the rebellion that would overthrow the Capitol.

Mortician: Katniss might seem like a hardened survivalist, but she has her issues. For one, she has post-traumatic stress disorder, mainly due to all of the horrible things she's had to experience.

Redshock: She's also kind of impulsive, and while she can strategize, she runs head on into situations without the needed forethought. Lastly, she is rather rash, doing things as she feels and not following orders.

Mortician: But when you're fighting her, you'd best be prepared. Katniss is one silent and deadly woman. She's proven that she can and will pick you off from the shadows or face-to-face.

Katniss Everdeen: “Fire is catching! And if we burn, you burn with us!”

DEATHBATTLE![]

Prologue[]

Tris had woken up after she fell into a weird well, she found herself in a large forest, Tris put her hand on her gun, slowly drawing it out. The Divergent swiftly drew her gun, aiming it at the forest in front of her. She heard a sound coming from behind her, she turned around and saw a flash of a young woman, Katniss Everdeen with her bow pointing straight at her. Not knowing who each other were, Katniss released the arrow.

FIGHT![]

Tris had only a second to duck as an arrow whizzed towards her. Katniss had drawn her bow, and had just knocked another arrow, prepared to fire it at Tris. In retaliation, Tris fired off a single round from her gun. Due to the thick fog, it narrowly missed Katniss. Another shot, another arrow. Tris and Katniss, upon instinct, weaved and evaded, then fired once more. And then rinse. And repeat. And repeat. Drawing in a breath, Katniss prepared to knock another arrow, but Tris had beaten her to the punch, firing off another round. The Girl on Fire, nearly caught by surprise, very, very narrowly evaded the gunshot, and then finished knocking another arrow. Spotting Tris' roll from one hedge to another, Katniss strung her arrow and fired. The arrow narrowly whizzed above Tris's head, and the Divergent retaliated by rolling to the side and firing in front of her, the bullet striking another arrow headed straight for her. Three more arrows and bullets were fired off, yet none seemed to hit their mark.

Katniss immediately rolled for the closest hedge she could see, a bullet whizzing just a fraction of an inch above her spine, but not hitting her. Katniss quietly and slowly snuck to her left, slowly drawing out her knife from one of her pockets. She had to draw Tris out of hiding and engage her in close quarters, no matter the odds. After a few seconds, Katniss had reached a rather thick log to hide behind. The tribute crouched as low as she could, quietly walking towards the edge of the log. Tris silently rose from the bushes, keeping her gun trained in front of her as she had to draw her opponent out. Tris's ears perked up as she picked up the slightest movement, then she slowly trudged toward where she thought she had sensed it.

Tris trained her gun on the bush on the left of the log she had spotted, while taking a step forward. This was enough to startle Katniss, who was hiding behind the log, if only by a bit. However, the Girl on Fire fought to remain calm. She did not want to risk getting spotted, especially now that she was steadily drawing Tris towards her. She slowly shifted as the sound of Tris's footfalls came closer and closer... Tris approached the log, upon pure instinct and luck, she was able to jump back just as Katniss ran over the log and slashed at her backhanded with her knife.

The Divergent raises her arms to parry an oncoming knife strike from Katniss. Tris retaliated accordingly, using her free hand to deliver a gut-punch. Katniss brought her free hand down, misdirecting Tris's punch...but wasn't prepared to react as the Divergent slugged her across the face with a haymaker. Katniss quickly regained her bearings, entering a fighting stance. Parrying a swift kick from Tris, Katniss lunged and retaliated with a knee, striking Tris in the gut and forcing her to stagger. Tris and Katniss had engaged in an intense brawl, neither young woman faltering or winning. It was a heated exchange, as the two traded blows with punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. Neither of them had found a hole in each other's defenses as of yet.

until Tris had spotted the tiniest opening in Katniss's assault. It was without a doubt that between the two of them, the Divergent was the one who was better at close-range combat, and this bout was beginning to let it show. Tris kicked Katniss's knee with enough force to stagger her, then immediately clotheslined the Girl on Fire, sending her flying back a few feet away, crashing against the same log she had hidden behind. Tris dashed towards her open foe, preparing to deliver a kick at her gut. Her eyes widening, Katniss rolled aside, Tris's foot meeting the log and nearly cracking it. The tribute then got to her feet and tackled Tris into the ground, but as soon as she raised her fist to punch on her adversary's head, Tris shot her foot up, striking Katniss straight in the gut and sending her stumbling back. Tris decided to throw another punch, only for Katniss to regain her bearings and parry the blow. The tribute drew her knife once more, gripping it backhanded and slashing at Tris. The Divergent was quick to parry this one, but was unable to react in time as Katniss kicked her in the hip, sending her stumbling to the side.

Tris managed to disarm Katniss, and threw a solid haymaker at her face, the handle of the knife increasing the power of the blow and sending the Girl on Fire stumbling back. Tris saw her gun was behind her as Katniss noticed her bow was also nearby which prompted to both femme fatales to rush to their weapons, with Katniss nocking an arrow and Tris firing a bullet they both fired one last shot, Tris’s bullet grazed Katniss’s shoulder as her arrow struck Tris in the rib, but it wasn’t a regular arrow, but her arrow was marked orange and it lit Tris on fire upon impact burning Katniss’s opponent into a smoldering corpse. Katniss fell down due to exhaustion and let out a cry.

FINISH!/Results[]

Redshock: Damn I knew Katniss was known as the Girl on Fire but that girl is literally On Fire!

Mortician: This was a very close match. With the two of them so evenly matched in physicality, strategy, and combat training, this fight ultimately was to boil down to a few key factors.

Redshock: While both are skilled in strategizing, and can get impulsive and let emotion take over, when compared, this can happen to Tris much sooner than it can to Katniss. Also, there is the fact that Tris hasn't quite encountered someone like Katniss before. While she is a brilliant strategist, when faced with someone like Katniss, she had very little to work with.

Mortician: "But how the hell is that possible? You literally just said they're so evenly matched!" Well, when you think about it, Tris's win-loss record is somewhat spotty. And the times she was strategizing in combat? That was mainly because Tris had faced them before and she's gotten her ass handed to her by them before. So it would only be natural for her to know what she would do then.

Redshock: And how many times do we have to stress that Death Battle does not allow prep time? Tris and Katniss wouldn't know of each other at the beginning of the battle. And besides that...Tris was up against an entirely new foe, prep time rules or no.

Mortician: Last but not least, their experience. Sure, Tris trained in close combat way before Katniss did and is skilled with a gun, which should be superior to a bow and arrow in hindsight, Katniss has been in the survival game far longer than Tris has.

Redshock: Katniss has been fending for herself and her family long before she got thrown into the Hunger Games, and she had survived through and won the 74th and 75th Hunger Games; while in comparison, before her induction into the Dauntless, Tris has lived a life of leniency in Abnegation.

Mortician: Ultimately, while both fighters were very evenly matched, Katniss's experience and survivor mindset won out in the end.

Redshock: In the end, Tris's Hunger was just a Game to Katniss, The Winner Is Katniss Everdeen!
