Description[]
Splatterhouse vs Blood. Two brutal horror movie inspired protagonist duke it out in death battle. Will Rick tear apart the crazed gunman or will Caleb make the wear of the tearer mask eat his heart out.
Introduction[]
Kazak: Few movies are as iconic the ones in the slasher movies
Gal: And naturally with such status, you have a fair share of homages.
Kazak: Today's fighters wear their influences on their sleeves
Gal: Caleb, the maniacal undead gunslinger from blood
Kazak: And Rick Taylor, the wearer of the terror mask from Splatter house
Gal: I'm general Gal and he's King Kazak
Kazak: And its our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win in a death battle
Caleb would like to donate some blood to DEATH BATTLE![]
Gal: 19th century Wild West, home to several gunslingers, bank robbers and bandits, none were quite as infamous Caleb
Kazak: Born in 1847, Caleb had made a name for himself by being a merciless bloodthirsty gunslinger when he was 17.
Gal: Eventually Caleb met Ophelia, the woman he would fall deeply in love and would lead him down a path to becoming a better person
Kazak and Gal:Pfm, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Gal: Yeah no, Ophelia is just as fucked up as she’s part of a cult called the Cabal, who she was perfectly fine with killing her son and husband once hubby decided to leave the cult
Kazak: Unsurprisingly, Ophelia would be what led Caleb to joining the Cabal, becoming a servant of the dark god Tchernabog. And he wasn’t just some idol of worship, he actually ran the cult.
Gal:Anyway, Caleb, Ophelia and two other members of the Cabal, Gabriel and Ishmael rose up the ranks of Cabal, becoming the “Chosen”, basically generals, like yours truly. Caleb was living the dream.
Kazak:Until one day Tchernabog, just killed sentenced the chosen to death.
Gal: Well, at least thats what we think happened in these cutscenes
Kazak: After spending years in hollow grave, Caleb literally angryed himself back to life and went on vengeful crusade against the Cabal.
Gal:While spitting one liners and laughing maniacally with the best voice of any fps protagonist.
Kazak:But it wouldn’t be without tragedy, by the time got to face the stone Gargoyle, Cheogh, Caleb met with a horrific sight. The sight of his love’s dead body, nailed to a pillar.
Gal:Naturally, Caleb killed the bastard gargoyle who did it. Before giving Ophelia a viking funeral.
Kazak: Guess even someone as evil as Caleb can feel love.
Gal:Huh, too bad you’ll never find it.
Kazak: What?
Gal:Anyway, after slaughtering the hordes of demons, Caleb finally confronted Tchernabog and it was finally revealed why he sentenced Caleb and co to death. Gotta love Stephen Weyte’s performance.
Kazak: In short, every person Caleb killed gave him more power, Tchernabog killed Caleb knowing that he would come back and go on a killing spree, getting more powerful. Then Tchernabog would kill Caleb and absorb his power. It seemed like simple plan
Gal: But Tcherny didn’t take into account that Caleb was the protagonist and got pumped with lead.
Kazak:After Tchernabog was finally defeated, Caleb wandered the world aimless, until the events of blood t..
Gal:NO! We don’t talk about that game here.
Kazak:Alright, we’ll talk about weapons instead
Gal: We're gonna be here awhile, first off we have the pitchfork and combat knife for melee and the flare gun, which can fire a flare which makes the target take damage over time or shoot six flares in a damage shape. For more conventional firearms we have the Beretta which is a rather short ranged weapon which can be fired faster by holding it gangster style. Then we have one of the fastest firing and most satisfying double barrel shotguns put in a game. It can either shoot from one barrel independently or both at the same time, not much at long range but devastating in short range. For more rapid fire weapons Caleb has the Tommy gun and the inaccurate sub machine gun, the assault rifle which comes with a grenade launcher. Caleb also has a sniper rifle for long distances, a Vulcan canon to decimate strong foes and the last firearm in the list is a combat shotgun the has a fast firing rate and launches insecticide bombs. But wait there's more. Caleb has an aerosol can which he can turn into a flamethrower with his lighter or use it as a Molotov cocktail, then there is the napalm canon, which launches an explosive fireball that works like the flare and it has a secondary fire which shoots a large fire ball that explodes into smaller fire balls. Then there is the Howitzer which can fire one or three howitzer shells at a time. Finally there is the dynamite bundle with which he can lob at huge crowds, he also has the proximity and remote variants. Boss could you do the next part, running outta breath.
Kazak: Besides firearms and explosives, Caleb has acquired some magical weapons like the voodoo doll which by plunging a needle into it damages the target in the users line of sight ignoring armor, Caleb can also unleash the doll's remaining power to do more damage to the target. Then there is the life leech, which can drain the life of the target to heal Caleb and can be placed down to function as a sentry turret, however if it runs out of ammo, it will use Caleb's life force as ammunition. The orb is a metal ball that bores into a target's head before, Caleb can also control it mentally but doing so leaves him vulnerable. Next up is the flayer which shoots chains that attach to the target doing damage over time. Now for some of the more advanced weapons, the Tesla cannon which electric balls that can stun a target and can charge up a really powerful projectile. The insect-a-cutioner fires acidic bug spray, the Cabalco death ray shoots lasers that bounce off of walls and finally Caleb's most powerful weapon, the BFG of his arsenal, the singularity generator, which shoots out a black hole.
Gal: That a lot and we haven't even gotten to his abilities or power-ups, like how Caleb can eat the hearts of people to heal himself
Kazak: That's gross
Gal: You mean metal as fuck. But if Caleb doesn't have enough human hearts to go around he can use stuff like the doctor's bag or med-kit which bring his health back to 100% or just use the medicine pouch to heal halfway, but if he wants extra health he has the life seed.
Kazak: If Caleb ever needs to boost his mobility he has the jump boots which increases his jump height and makes him immune to fall damage..
Gal: If Caleb is somewhere dark, he has the beast vision and night vision goggles
Kazak: For defense Caleb has the body armor, the spirit armor (protects him from spirit attack), the fire armor, the basic armor (gives gives him 50% in all armor) and the super armor(give hims 200% in all armors)
Gal: But he can boost his durability even further with willpower which temporarily decreases all damage done to him by 95% percent, the reflective shots which reflects all attacks(minus fire or spirit) back at the enemy, including melee attacks and if he what to be immune to all attacks, he has the death mask
Kazak: For stealth Caleb has the Cloak of invisibility.
Gal: And the final two power-ups and my personal favorite, the guns akimbo which lets him dual wield every single handed weapon and the rage which increase all damage he does by 300%. *Whistles* That's a lot of stuff, are we done yet?
Kazak: We still have to go over his feats
Gal: Fiiiine. But can we please speed through this
Kazak: Alright, Caleb defeated the Naga which caused a magnitude 5 earthquake which is worth at least 475 tons of tnt. Caleb can also dodge Tesla gun fire which should put him at mach speed.
Gal: With all that under his belt it's no surprise he was able to kill Tchernabog, but Caleb isn't without weakness
Kazak: Most of Caleb weapons rely on ammunition and eventually run out and some of his weapons can even backfire like the voodoo doll or leech life. And though Caleb absorb power the power of all the people killed, Techernabog included, he never learned how to use. That was kind of a plot point of Blood t..
Gal:Ey, nope we don’t about that game. Short comings and shitty sequel aside. Caleb remains one of the most badass fps protagonist ever. Maramax Mallax my dudes.
Caleb: The good, the bad, I’m the guy with the gun
Rick Taylor Splatters DEATH BATTLE![]
Gal: Rick Taylor's backstory starts like the beginning of any slasher flick. Rick and his girlfriend Jennifer were invited into a spooky house by doctor Henry West, turns out West was a mad scientist who planned to sacrifice Jennifer to some demon. Man, I hate it when that happens.
Kazak: When the couple entered the mansion, they got attacked by demons, Jennifer was kidnapped and Rick injured and left to die. But not all hope was lost. A few moments before dying, a mask appeared and attached itself to Rick.
Gal: This wasn't just any mask, this was the terror mask, an ancient relic possessed by a demon and voiced by Winnie the Pooh. When the mask was attached to Rick's face, it transformed him, granting him a bunch of awesome powers.
Kazak:Now Rick and mask are an odd duo, Rick for most part was just a normal dude thrust into an extraordinary situation, now he had a blood thirsty demon attached to his face that revived him simply for his own agenda. Yet despite this, they actually grew to care for one another and became close friends. Well sort of.
Gal: With his newfound powers given by the mask, Rick fought his way through the hordes of demons until he finally found Jennifer, but it wasn’t the Jennifer he knew. Turns out, Henry and the demons in the house conducted a ritual on Jennifer turning her into a demon, with no choice left, Rick had to uhh… put her out her misery.
Kazak: With his heart broken and filled with rage, Rick descended into the house and sealed the portable hell that caused the demons to flood in.
Gal: Everything was right in the world. For a bit .
Kazak: After the events of the first game, Rick was haunted by nightmares of what had happened in the house, even hearing Jennifer’s screams in his sleep.
Gal:The spirit of the mask spoke to Rick through his dreams telling him that there was a way to bring Jen back. All he needed to do was put on the mask and return to the house.
Mask:She doesn’t have to die Rick
Kazak:Left with no other options, Rick once again visited the cursed house and luckily, the mask wasn’t lying.
Gal:After punching a crystal, Rick was able to revive Jennifer.
Kazak:After that episode, Rick and Jennifer would settle down and have a son named David. However the supernatural wasn’t done with Rick as his house would be infested with demons who would kidnap Jennifer and David, from there are four possible endings, but I think we’re done with backstory for now.
Gal:Onto the powers section
Kazak: The terror mask grant the wearer superhuman physicality, making Rick strong enough to rip demons apart with relative easy.
Gal: But that's not all Rick is fast enough to catch this tongue with his bare hands.
Kazak: In order to for something to cut those zombies like that it would have at supersonic speeds
Gal: Along with his impressive speed, Rick is also agile enough to jump on and off of falling rocks. Rick is so badass that he can punch chainsaws without getting hurt, and he can reduce some monsters to puddles of blood with a single whack of a bone. The force required to do this is roughly 0.6 tons of tnt. If that doesn't sound too impressive, don't worry, we’ll get to some cooler things later.
Kazak: On top of Rick's immense strength, he has a healing factor that is potent enough to regenerate arms, however this comes with the caveat that in order to regenerate, Rick needs to absorb enough blood to heal his wounds.
Gal: But regeneration isn't the only thing Rick can use blood for, blood functions as a type of fuel for a bunch of weird abilities like the splatter slash, which turn his arms into bone blades, or the smash, which cause bone projectiles to rise from the ground.
Kazak: If Rick ever needs to refill his blood supply, he has the splatter kill, which functions much like Doomguy's glory kills and he has the splatter siphon, which cases sharp bones to erupt from his body and absorb the blood of the unfortunate soul caught in the.
Gal: Damn, that's metal. Along with all those abilities, Rick picks up a wide assortment of weapons. He's got the rusty pipe, baseball bat and a two by four which he can use to turn people into wall decorations. If Rick feels like turning his enemies into sliced salami he's got an ax, a sword, a cleaver, machete and chainsaw. Finally we have the hunting rifle, a harpoon and the double barreled shotgun for his range options.
Kazak: While all these abilities are impressive, they pale in comparison to Rick's Berserker form.
Gal:Remember when we said we'd get to the more impressive stuff later? This is later.
Wiz: When Rick absorbs enough blood, he enters his berserker state which greatly enhances all of his stats.
Gal: It also allows him to use his weird bone attacks without having to worry about blood supply. Plus it comes with the bonus of making splatter smash and splatter siphon better attacks.
Kazak: While in Berserker mode, Rick he was able to catch a meteor, which can move at 72 kilometers per second
Gal: That's not even the craziest part, he can survive that thing colliding against him. That that's worth 812.62 tons of tnt, that's enough to level multiple city blocks
Kazak: But despite all these impressive feats, Rick isn't perfect.
Gal: Yeah while Rick is a badass, he's not the most strategic fighter, he never learned to properly fight the closest thing he has to martials arts training is to cave a demon's head in the nearest object.
Kazak: And even though Rick's regeneration and bone attacks are impressive, he can only use them if he absorbs enough blood, if he runs out, any injury he receives will not heal until Rick absorbs more blood. Plus while his berserker mode greatly enhances his stats, it turns him into a mindless hulking beast.
Gal: But all those weaknesses never stopped him from saving Jennifer. He promised he'd love her til the end of the world and he's gonna keep that promise.
Pre-fight[]
In an old haunted town located somewhere in Texas at the dead of night roamed a tall muscular man wearing a white mask. This was Rick Taylor, his girlfriend Jennifer had been kidnapped again and Rick was in the process of tracking down whoever did. As Rick wandered through the town there was no sound other than that of his footsteps and the wind. The silence was shortly interrupted by a voice in Rick's head, this was the spirit of the terror mask.
Mask: Hey, Rick, do you notice anything odd about this?
Rick: No not really
Mask: Exactly, we haven't run into any opposition since we got here.
Rick: Yeah, now that you mention it, it's a little odd.
Mask: This isn't right and the lack of carnage right is making me nervous
Rick: You're probably the only person in history to say th-
Boom*
Suddenly an explosion was heard from a distance, it came from a large mansion sitting on the graveyard not too far on the outskirts of town.
Rick shouted in surprise: What was that?
Mask: Who cares? It sounds like violence and I need my fix of it. Let's go there, there's probably something that'll lead us to Jenny
The moment the mask brought up the possibility of finding Jennifer, Rick ran as fast as he could towards the mansion, as he approached the house heard the sound of gunshots, explosions and the people screaming in some incomprehensible language.
Caecux infirmux
Bang* bang*
Pretaanluxis cruonit
Boom*
Cruo stragarana malaxos
BANG*
Ratatatatata*
Mein Leiben
BANG*
Geroxe cruo
Ah
AAAhh
Ahahaaaa
Aaaahhhh it burns, it burns
When Rick made it the front of the mansion, the front door swung open as multiple people that were on fire came running out and collapsed at his feet.
Mask: This feels more like it
As Rick looked down at the charred bodies, he heard a maniacal, yet raspy laughter coming from the building. Rick looked up and saw a figure standing in the doorway partially obscured by shadow. He was wearing a cowboy hat and blood red eyes that glowed dimly in the dark, he was holding what appeared to be a firearm.
Figure: What’s this? Another lamb for the slaughter?
The ghastly silhouette stepped in the moonlight, revealing himself to the undead gunslinger, Caleb. Caleb smiled menacingly and pointed a double barreled shotgun at Rick.
Rick whispered to the mask: Well you wanted carnage, I hope you're happy…
*Get into fighting position*
Rick: cause theres gonna be a whole lot of it
Fight[]
Caleb fires a shell from his shotgun. Rick dodges the blast by slide kicking under it and towards Caleb. The undead cowboy jumps over Rick while firing the remaining shell in his shotgun at Rick’s chest and runs backwards to get some distance between his opponent. Rick got up and felt his newly acquired wound on his chest and hissed from the pain.
Mask: Oh come on, you’ve been through worse
Rick: Yeah but that doesn’t make hurt any less
The wound on Rick quickly healed, making it look like he never took any damage.
Caleb: That’s new
Caleb swapped out his shotgun for his m16 assault rifle and fired at the masked man. Rick started to run in a circle around Caleb to avoid the incoming bullets. When Rick was on the right side of Caleb’s position, the ghoulish gunslinger fired a grenade from his rifle. Just as the grenade was about to hit its target, Rick grabs it and throws it back at Caleb. Caleb was able to strafe out of the way and swapped his rifle back for his shotgun. The two undead fighters approached each other, Rick tried to take a few swings at the crazed cowboy but he was able to back off and unloaded a few shotgun rounds, inflicting minor injuries. The mask was annoyed that Rick hadn't been able to land a single hit and starts to shout at his host.
Mask: COME ON RICK, YOU HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO HIT THIS GUY YET, USE THAT HEAD OF YOUR’S.
Rick as he’s trying to dodge close range shotgun blasts: I’m thinking, I’m thinking.
Suddenly Rick had an idea. He punched the ground, causing a several of bone-like structure to rapidly erupt from the ground, catching Caleb off guard and launching him into the air. Rick took advantage of the situation and punched Caleb as he fell back down and sent him flying back to the mansion, crashing through its wall. Caleb got up from the rubble of the destroyed wall and looked around and a certain room caught his attention. Caleb smiled and bolted towards it. Rick ran into the mansion and followed Caleb into the room. When Rick entered the room it was full of meat hooks with what appeared to be butchered human body parts hanging on them, the floor was covered with blood, dead bodies littered with bullet holes, and human giblets. Rick heard a slurping noise coming from his left and saw Caleb eating a human heart behind a meat cutting table that had a comically large cleaver.
Caleb after he finished eating the heart: Mmmm, better than kool aid. This place is getting awfully chilly, why don’t I turn up the heat.
Caleb took out his flare gun and fired six flares in a diamond pattern. Rick tried to avoid it but he was within the range of the explosion and caught fire. Rick screamed in agony as the fire burned his flesh, meanwhile Caleb was laughing at his opponent’s suffering as he was preparing to shoot his tesla cannon. But right as Caleb pointed his weapon towards Rick, he noticed something strange, all the blood on the floor began to slither towards Rick and enter his skin. Caleb fired a few blasts from his tesla cannon but the flaming Rick ducked just in time before charging toward the undead gunslinger. Caleb tried to get out of the way but the burning Rick jumped over the table and delivered a kick to the gunslinger's jaw and knocked him against the wall. Rick then grabbed Caleb by the leg and him against the table causing it to break. The masked monstrosity picked up the giant cleaver and raised it over his head to split the gunman’s skull in two. Caleb, still on the broken table, took out his insect-a-cutioner and pointed it at Rick said
Caleb:Bugger off
He proceeded to spray the acidic chemicals on Rick’s face, burning his eyes and temporally stunning him
Mask: Seriously, bug spray?
Caleb got off the table and tried to get some distance between him and his opponent but Rick recovered faster than expected and ran towards Caleb and swung the cleaver. The undead cowboy was barely able to duck in time, letting the cleaver bisect a corpse that was hanging behind him. Caleb grabbed his sub-machine guns and unloaded them on the flaming Rick, tearing bits of flesh and dimming the fire burning his skin. Rick was able to push through the pain and strike Caleb on the side with his cleaver, causing blood to spill all over the floor, which Rick absorbed, healing some of his injuries. Caleb screamed in pain before, pointing his S.M.Gs at Rick’s arms which were still holding the cleaver embedded in Caleb’s body and blasted away, tearing off so much skin and muscle tissue that the bones could be seen. Rick pulled out the cleaver, allowing Caleb back away and charged a blast from his tesla gun. Caleb fired his Tesla gun at Rick who blocked it with his cleaver, but the electricity was conducted by the cleaver, electrocuting so hard that his skeleton was visible. Caleb smiled as he took out his lighter and a dynamite bundle. He lit it up and threw it at Rick. The explosion sent Rick flying through the wall behind him and landed in the center of the next room. The flames on Rick were blown out by the explosion, but that was the least of his worries, his injuries were very severe.His chest had lost so much skin that rib cage was exposed and his heart could be seen pumping, his right forearm was dangling from his elbow by a thread of human tissue. As Rick got up, he let out a huge sigh of relief. The room appeared to be a bar room, there was a bar (of course) and tables scattered around here and there, some were tipped over and damaged, but that didn’t matter to the wearer of the terror mask, what mattered was that it was full of dead bodies, all full of blood.
Mask: Hohoho, looks like an all you can eat buffet here
The blood from the bodies began to slither towards Rick and began to heal him. His chest once again covered his ribcage and his foreman reattached itself by growing more veins, followed by the sickening sound of his bone snapping. Throughout the entire process, Rick was screaming in pain until his body had completely recovered .
Mask: Quit your whining, you’re healed now, let's go get that pink eyed pilgrim.
Suddenly, Caleb could be heard singing as he came out of the meat room.
Caleb: Strangers in the night, exchanging glances, wond’ring in the night, what were the chances we’d be spilling blood, before the night was through
Caleb’s injury from the cleaver gone, he used the doctor’s hand bag to heal himself.
Rick picked up a table and threw it and Caleb who side stepped it and took out the m16 rifle again and fired away. Rick ran towards the bar counter and hid there for cover.
Mask: Really, you’re stronger than this guy. Why didn’t you charge at him and rip him apart.
Rick: Because I’m sick of being filled with bullet holes.
Rick noticed something next to him under the bar counter. Caleb swapped his rifle for the Orb.
Caleb: This next trick is gonna blow your mind.
Caleb laughed and sent the orb flying towards Rick's location, but to Caleb’s surprise, when the orb made it halfway to its target, Rick got up from under the bar counter, holding a rifle and shot it out of the air, causing it to explode. Rick pumped the rifle and fired a second shot at the gunslinger and Caleb, who let out a brief cry of pain. Caleb took out a stack of dynamite and threw it at the bar counter, Rick was about to jump out of it, letting the dynamite explode behind him. The masked man landed in front of the undead cowboy and threw aside his rifle to charge at him with a shoulder bash. Caleb strafed out the way and blasted Rick with a shotgun, who quickly healed. Caleb backed away from Rick knowing that a close quarters encounter between the two would be suicide. Rick charged Caleb, and reacted by using his aerosol can as a flamethrower. Rick was able to back away just in time with the flames not grazing his skin.
Mask: Come on Rick, don’t be such a pussy.
Rick charged at Caleb who used the aerosol can again, but instead of avoiding the flames, Rick ran right through them. Caleb tried to move away from flaming Rick, however Rick used a splatter slash, turning his hands into boney blades to increase his range and slash Caleb, leaving a huge gash on his chest. This was followed up by Rick shooting his spiked ribcage with a splatter siphon, impaling Caleb and draining some of his blood, allowing Rick to heal faster than the flames could burn him until they eventually went out. When Rick’s spikes retracted back into his chest, Caleb landed on his back.
Mask: Not so tough now are you? Come on Rick, let’s finish this guy off.
Rick got on top of Caleb and began pummeling his face so hard the floor beneath them began to crack. Finally Rick finished his assault with a devastating haymaker, the impact was so great that the floor completely fell apart causing both combatants to fall onto the floor beneath them. On the way down, Caleb equipped the high jump boots to negate the damage of the fall, Rick on the other hand, wasn’t so lucky and took the full force of the fall upon hitting the ground flat on his face. Rick got up from the floor, he saw the room he was almost completely dark, he could barely see anything. Of the few shapes he could make out in the shadows, he saw what looked like boxes scattered all over the room, perhaps it was a storage room. Rick looked at his surroundings but his foe was nowhere to be seen.
Mask:Great, you lost him
Rick: Don’t blame me, blame the floor for breaking
Mask: We’re wasting time complaining, go look for him
Rick responded to the mask’s suggestion by proceeding to go deeper into the darkness of the room. It was quiet, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of Rick's footsteps. As Rick ventured further into the darkness he heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind him. Rick picked up a nearby box that was half his size and threw it in the direction of the sound, however the box didn’t hit anything. Rick was on high alert, he knew Caleb was around somewhere, but he couldn’t see him. He analyzed his surroundings to see if he could find the shape of a cowboy somewhere in the shadows but there was nothing of the sort there. Rick turned around thinking that the gunslinger moved somewhere else but the moment he turned around, a barrage of yellow orbs came from nowhere and struck Rick from behind, causing him to drop to his knees. Rick got up as his injuries began to heal and charge at the direction from which the orbs came from but ultimately, this ended in him simply punching air. Once again Rick was attacked from behind but this time he was struck by he bullet of a sniper, which completely pierced through his left shoulder, snapping through bone, but the injury almost instantly healed and Rick once again charged at the direction of the bullet but ended out bumping into a box and tripped. Caleb could be heard laughing in the distance. Rick got up and started walking towards where he heard his ghoulish foe.
Mask: What are you doing Rick you should charging at him
Rick: Shut up I’m trying to listen-
Rick’s sentence was interrupted by another barrage of golden orbs towards, however was able to jump out of the way and onto a wall and hurled himself towards the source of the projectiles. The projectiles kept firing and the source didn’t seem to move, even as Rick was careening towards it. He prepared to land a devastating punch at what he believed to be Caleb, but as we Rick got close enough, he saw that instead Caleb he was and was a skull on stick stand on top of a pile of remote dynamite, just before Rick about to land of the dynamite, he saw Caleb’s red eyes glow from short distance. He was holding something in his hand and when Rick got close enough to the pile-
Click*
Mask: You got to be fu-
BOOOOOOOM*
The explosion sent Rick flying through the roof of the room and the roof of the mansion, charing his body, tearing his flesh and breaking limbs. When Rick reached the peak of his height, he fell back down and landed on the side that the mansion stood, rag dolling downhill, bumping into multiple trees while simultaneously healing. When Rick reached the bottom he rolled into an old shack near a lake and stopped with a loud thud. Caleb used the high jump boots to jump to the roof of the mansion, standing near the its edge, he looked at the trail of blood left, while he was distracted, a metal object flew past, almost hitting his eye. Caleb looked at where the harpoon came from and saw Rick standing in front of the shack holding a bunch of harpoons in one hand.
Mask:Goddammit Rick, you missed
Rick: I’d like to see you do better
Caleb fired a shot from his sniper rifle which Rick was barely able to move his head out of the way. As Rick grabbed a harpoon with his empty hand and prepared to throw it, Caleb took out a reflective shot from his jacket and absorbed it, enveloping him in a blue aura. Rick threw the harpoon at Caleb, who didn’t attempt to avoid the incoming projectile. When the harpoon struck Caleb, it bounced off and was sent flying back towards Rick who rolled out the way. Caleb was hoping this would happen and fired another shot from his rifle, barely missed Rick’s head and grazed some skin off his back. When Rick got up he expected it to heal but he could still feel his blood trickling down his, he didn’t have enough blood to heal, he knew he needed to end the fight quickly. He ran towards the mansion and threw his remaining harpoons below where Caleb stood, causing the edge of the roof to fall apart, sending Caleb tumbling down the hill but was quickly to get back on his feet only to be met with Rick about to feed him a bloody knuckle sandwich. Luckily for the gunslinger, the blue aura that still enveloped him reflected the impact of Rick punch causing the masked hulk too stagger. Caleb used this brief moment to his advantage and took out his double barreled shotgun at Rick. Rick was able to regain his balance just in time to grab Caleb’s gun and point it to the air before it could be fired. Caleb let go of his shotgun and grabbed a combat knife from his coat and stabbed the side of Rick’s stomach. Rick dropped the shotgun, which Caleb was able to catch just in time. Rick pulled the knife out of his stomach and grabbed Caleb by the leg proceeding to slam against the ground hulk style. Caleb’s reflective shots kept him unharmed from brutal assault, he didn’t have long before it wore off. He pointed his shotgun and fired. The shotgun pellets dug their way into his chest, making him let go of Caleb mid swing, sending him flying towards the shack and unfortunately for Caleb, the reflective wore off when he was flying towards the shack.
Caleb: Ooh shi-
Caleb crashed into the shack causing the structure to collapse on top of him. Caleb, dazed from the impact, groaned as he crawled out from the wreckage but wasn’t given much time regain concentration as Rick punched him hard enough to send sliding away on the floor a few feet. Caleb got up and readied his shotgun while Rick pulled out a machete from the remains of the shack. The two locked eyes before charging recklessly into battle, Caleb fired a blast from his shotgun, Rick slide kicked under it and prepared to slash Caleb with the machete. Caleb avoided the attack by jumping Rick who expected this to happen and grabbed Caleb’s leg and slammed him against the ground. Rick, reeled back his arm while Caleb, lying flat on his back, reloaded his shotgun. Both attacked each other simultaneously, Rick stabbed Caleb with his machete, embedding it in his shoulder, while Caleb unloaded both barrels of his shotgun on his attacker’s chest. Rick stumbled back, letting go of his machete, leaving it stuck on Caleb’s body, while the gunslinger crawled and got up from the ground. Rick placed his hand on his bleeding chest to feel his injury and groaned pain, Caleb on the other hand let out a blood curdling scream as pulled the machete from his shoulder and dropped it to his feet. The blood dripped from his shoulder across his chest, coloring his brown coat and the white a dark red. The small amounts of blood that spilled onto the floor slithered towards Rick, entering his body, giving just enough blood to slightly close his wounds, though they were still pretty severe. The two injured fighters silently stared each other down, hardly moving a muscle. The mask, not wanting to miss the opportunity to be snarky, began mouthing off.
Mask: Not doing so well now you John Harden wannabe.
Caleb: Oh if John had ever met me, he’d be dead before his hand touched the revolver.
Mask: Shouldn’t you be in the 1830s?
Caleb: And shouldn’t you be terrorizing teenagers?
Caleb felt something pulling on his coat, he saw an arm, covered in rotting flesh stuck out of the ground, grasping on his coat. Another arm, this one holding a rusted ax erupted from the soil and pushed against the floor. The head of the zombie rose from the earth. By the time it was halfway out of the ground, Caleb pulled a beretta from his coat, shooting the zombie, crying a guttural scream upon death. Two more zombies crawled out of the earth, Caleb shot one of them dead but 2 more rose shortly afterwards. The cycle continued with some zombies resurrecting before they began overwhelming Caleb, chasing him to the lake. Rick looked at the gunslinger fighting for his life against the horde of zombies and smirked under his mask.
Mask: Well Rick, looks like the zombies are gonna do our job for us. I say we wait until the fight settles down and finish off whoever is left
Rick: Sounds like a plan to me
Rick’s rest was short-lived though, as a few moments later, dozens of arms rose from the grounds and grabbed his legs. This was followed by many zombies rising from the ground and dogpiling him. Meanwhile Caleb was being backed into the lake by the horde of zombies. The gunslinger was unloading M16 rounds into the zombies but they were too many. He wanted to use an explosive but they were too close. He considered jumping into the lake for cover while using an explosive or a fire based weapon, but some movement in the water immediately made him second guess his options. Then Caleb realized something, he had just the perfect tool for this. He took out his voodoo doll and waved his hand around it. Soon with a chorus of inhuman screams echoing across the field, every zombie in Caleb’s line of sight crumbled into dust. Caleb let out a sigh of relief and walked over to a zombie that he shot down earlier. He ripped out its heart from its chest before scarfing it down. Looked at some of the other dead bodies and gave an unsettling smile, revealing his rotten teeth, letting blood trickle down to his chin. Rick on the other hand, wasn’t exactly doing too great. There were so many zombies on top of him that he was brought to his knees, though it would be difficult to know since he could barely be seen in the pile of the undead. To make things worse, the zombies that were closer to him clawed and chewed at his flesh. If he didn’t act quickly, his bones would be picked clean.
Mask: Come on Rick, do something. We can’t die yet.
The mask desperately tried to think of something that could get his host back on his feet and then it came to him. What was the one thing that Rick valued more than anything else in the world?
Mask: Think about Jenny. What will happen to her if you die? You promised that you’d love her until the end of the world and are you just gonna give up now?
The words echoed in Rick’s head and with every ounce of strength that he could muster he got back up to his feet with the zombies still on top of him and used ‘splatter siphon’. Boney spikes erupted from every side of Rick’s upper body, impaling every zombie around him. The zombies hanging on the spikes that impaled their torso’s and even some of their heads let out a series of ear piercing screams as their blood was absorbed. Rick retracted his spikes, letting the bodies limply fall on the ground. The wounds on his body began to close and the mask nervously chuckled.
Mask: Heheheh, attaboy Rick. I thought we were done for right there. Good thing ya got-.
Rick: Where is that sonofabitch? I’ll tear him apart.
Caleb: Right here.
Caleb walked out of the shadows more than twenty feet away, with an unsettled smile on his face. An animalistic roar could be heard over the horizon. Shortly afterwards, what seemed like a hundred zombies rose from the ground as if they were awakened by it. The undead cover the space between both combatants and gazed with their pupilless eyes. Soon, that same roar was heard again, this time it came from above. Rick looked up and saw a flock of 4 four brown gargoyles with a large gray one at its center hovering above the battlefield.
Caleb: You want me?(uses guns akimbo and pulls out two tommy guns) Come and get me.
With those words, the zombies charged at both combatants. Caleb started mowing them down with his tommy guns while Rick shoulder charged through the wave of zombies, obliterating anything that got in the way. When Rick got close enough, Caleb threw a stack of dynamite. Rick had built too much momentum to turn around in time. The dynamite exploded, sending Rick flying away several feet. He crashed into a tree, splitting it before he dropped to the ground slightly dazed. Many zombies and two gargoyles closed in on Rick thinking he was vulnerable, but that belief was quickly shattered when a zombie went in swinging an ax at him, only for it to be caught mid swing. Rick pulled the ax out of the zombie’s hand and used it to chop off its head. A gargoyle came at him, Rick threw his ax at it, only for the gargoyle to avoid it. Another gargoyle came at Rick, followed by more zombies.
Mask: Come on Rick let’s not waste anymore time.
Rick’s arms turned into boney blades sliced and with one mighty swing of his arms, torsos were sent flying through the air. The gargoyle that was caught in the splatter slash’s swing had its bottom half removed, with its insides pouring out its torso. It was wobbling in the air, barely able to maintain flight bumping into trees until it finally dropped dead. All the blood on the floor started slithering towards Rick, entering his system. Rick looked up and saw the previous gargoyle trying to fly away.
Rick: Oh no you don’t
Rick jumped in the air and grabbed it by the leg. Rick's weight was too much and the gargoyle began hovering slowly towards the ground. When the gargoyle got low enough for Rick’s feet to touch the ground, he slammed it against the earth and held it down. The winged beast struggled to escape masked horror’s mighty grip to no avail. Rick readied his arm to pummel the beast to death but he heard faint of two guns being fired. In just the nick of time, Rick lifted the gargoyle and used it as a meat shield, several bullets pierced the skin but not killing it, causing the beast like out a roar of pain. Rick looked over the gargoyle and saw Caleb holding his tommy guns, standing next to the charred corpses of the other gargoyles. Caleb fired his machine guns again and Rick charged him, holding the gargoyle in front. The gun's akimbo power up ran out by the time Rick made it half to Caleb. Caleb swapped his tommy gun for the napalm launcher and shot out a fire ball. In response Rick threw the gargoyle at the fire ball, reducing the gargoyle to crispy giblets. Caleb prepared to fire another napalm launcher round but Rick was approaching too fast. If Caleb fired his weapon, he would certainly be caught in the blast radius. Just as Rick was about four feet away from Caleb, the large gray gargoyle swooped down and picked up Rick. The gargoyle carried him into the air, holding Rick by the shoulders. Rick tried struggling out of its grip and flailed his arms wildly. Eventually Rick was able to hit it in the face, making it let go of Rick. There was a problem though, Rick was over 100 feet above ground. As Rick saved himself by barely reaching out in time to grab the gargoyle’s back leg. Rick dangled from the flying beast’s hind leg with it trying to shake him off.
Mask: Don’t let go Rick
Rick held on to the gargoyle’s leg, he pulled himself up and climbed up the gargoyle's back. Rick wrapped his legs around the beast’s chest area and hooked right arm around its neck. He began hammering the creature's head with his free arm, disorienting it. The gargoyle became more and more unbalanced, each blow causing it to lose altitude. The gargoyle was now hovering a few feet over the ground. The lake was nearby with the light reflecting on it. Caleb was not far. He readied his napalm launcher, waiting for the right moment to fire it. Rick felt that he was at a comfortable height and felt ready to finish off the gargoyle. He ripped out the creature's wings, letting it fall to the ground. Rick held the gargoyle beneath him as it made its way to the ground, it looked like he wanted to use it to cushion his fall. Just before the moment of impact, Rick let go of the gargoyle, letting it fall ahead of him. He held arm above his head, preparing to land a mighty attack. When the gargoyle collided with the ground, Rick came and landed an earth shaking haymaker. The force of the blow combined with Rick's weight completely flattened the gargoyle's body. Blood burst out every side of its body, carpeting the earth around its compressed corpse. Rick was disoriented from the crash but not hurt. The blood began to enter Rick's body as he regained focus. The moment the last of the blood had entered Rick's body, Caleb fired a large fire ball from his napalm. Rick couldn’t react in time and the ball struck him, exploding his face. The blast set Rick’s skin on fire and launched him into the lake. Rick landed into the body of water with a loud splash.Once he was submerged in water, Rick felt a sort of relief, though his skin was badly burned from the napalm, the water put it out before it got really bad and he absorbed enough blood beforehand to heal with no issue. But it wasn’t quiet enough for….. Rick caught something moving from the corner of his eye. He turned around and though it was too dark for him to see clearly, he could see the shape of a fish-like creature. The sub aquatic creature opened its lips revealing its sharp white teeth that shone in the dark. Soon afterwards, more pairs of teeth revealing them the darkness of the water
Caleb approached the lake and checked where he had seen Rick land. A cloud of blood had developed there, it seemed whatever Caleb saw move in the lake earlier got him. Just as Caleb was about to turn around, he saw the blood cloud started shrinking. It got smaller and smaller until it eventually disappeared. Caleb backed away from the lake and pulled his jackhammer combat shotgun. He glares at the water with his fiery red eyes and shouts “Show yourself,SHOOOW YOURSEEEELF”
The cry of fury shook the earth around Caleb and if those words had been enough to summon him, Rick’s shadow moved towards Caleb. The gunslinger readied his gun and awaited the wearer of the terror mask to appear. Slowly Rick emerged from the water and Caleb was taken aback. He had changed. He was bigger, easily towering over his foe, boney spikes were now protruding from his back, each one of his arms had a blade made of bone attached to them, tied to his arm by muscle tissue. The full moon shone behind covering Rick’s front in a slight darkness, making his yellow eyes stick out, leering at the occult cowboy
Mask: You are so screwed.
Caleb aims his gun and pulls the trigger but before the gun could even fire, Rick punchs him square in the face. A loud cracking sound could be heard before the blow sent Caleb flying towards the ruin of the shack. The old planks of wood broke when he collided. The damage and pain he received from the attack made it difficult for Caleb to move. As he lay down in the wreckage, he noticed something buried in the planks of wood. He desperately digged through the wreckage as Rick approached. Caleb was finally able to remove enough of the wood to reveal what he had seen. It was a life seed and death mask
*Secret found*
Rick notices Caleb reaching out for items and dashes towards him at blinding speeds. When he reached the gunslinger, he punched him against the ground, creating a cloud of dust. When the dust settled, Caleb could be heard laughing. A dark aura surrounded his body. While he was laying on the ground, he fired his shotgun at Rick who backed away, giving Caleb enough space to get up. The gunslinger swapped the shotgun for a large machine gun. The two inhumans locked eyes while the machine gun’s barrel started spinning. Caleb let it rip, unleashing a stream of bullets upon the malformed Rick. The mutated monstrosity, instead of avoiding incoming attack, charges through the storm of ammunition. Rick grabbed the machine gun barrel and crushed it, stopping the bullet fire. Rick then proceeded to pull the weapon out of Caleb’s hands and swings it against his head with enough force to shatter the machine into several pieces. Caleb, unharmed thanks to the death mask, wasted no time and pulled out his napalm launcher once more. Caleb pulled the trigger but Rick grabbed it time to redirect the gun upwards, firing a projectile at the sky. Rick was not done yet. He grabbed Caleb and threw towards him the fiery projectile. Before Caleb made contact with the fireball, he pulled out his singularity generator and charged it up. The cowboy collided into the fire ball with a large explosion. Rick looked up and saw a large purple beam coming out of the explosion. The beam sped towards Rick, but he was fast enough to jump out of the way and let it land behind him. He expected to hear the sound of an explosion going off, instead he was feeling something was pulling him back. A vortex had formed to where the beam had landed and began to suck in everything around it.
Caleb fell from the sky and landed outside the vortex’s area of effect. The aura that protected him had dispersed so he used the high jump boots to avoid taking fall damage. He looked at Rick, clinging on the ground for dear life while the remains of the zombies and gargoyles were sucked into the vortex. The gunslinger activated Rage, causing a yellow aura enveloped him. He tossed multiple proximity bombs into the area of effect, letting them fly towards the misshapen monster. Rick noticed the bombs making their way towards him. He slams his fist against the ground, using splatter smash. Bone spikes rose around Rick, creating a makeshift wall. When the bombs got within proximity, they explode. Luckily for Rick, the wall provided him cover.
The vortex caused by the singularity generator had disappeared. Rick got and bolted towards Caleb. Caleb equipped willpower and charged the singularity generator, Rick wasn’t going to have any of that. The blades of Rick’s arms extended and with a mighty swing of his arm, he sliced the singularity generator in two. Rick then took several swings at Caleb with the blades, leaving large cuts on the cowboy’s body, which would have been made worse were it not for the willpower. Caleb pulled out the tesla gun, but Rick used a splatter slash which sliced through the weapon and slashed Caleb’s chest. He took out his voodoo doll shortly afterwards but Rick knocked it out his hand. The cycle of Caleb taking out a new and Rick disarming him continued for a while. Eventually the effects of willpower wore off, so Caleb would feel the full force of the next attack. Caleb was now down to two weapons, his pistol and his pitchfork. With nothing left to lose, Caleb fired several times at Rick, who took little to no damage from it. Rick grabbed the hand holding the gun and crushed it. Caleb screamed in agony. When he pulled out his hand, it looked like a bloody mass with bits of bone and the gun sticking out. Caleb grabbed his pitchfork and thrust toward the mutant. Rick grabbed it and punched Caleb’s jaw off. Caleb staggered back, gargling blood. Rick stood there looking down on his opponent. With the pitchfork he grabbed from Caleb, he stabbed the roof of the cowboy’s mouth, thrusting the spikes all the way through his skull. Rick pinned Caleb to the ground, place foot on his chest and used the pitchfork like a lever. When Rick pulled the pitchfork out, Caleb’s face was reduced to a red mess. The front part of the skull was ripped off, the brain looked like it was scrambled and the gunslinger's blood was spilt all over the floor. Rick looked down silently while the mask couldn’t resist but relish the brutality
Mask: Heheheehehe, what a mess
Results[]
Gal:You think he’ll live again after that?
Kazak: This was a fairly debatable match but in the end, Rick had just enough up his sleeve to win this face off
Gal:heh. First let's talk about Caleb’s advantages. Obviously he had the better range of the two, with his wide assortment of firearms he could keep Rick at a safe distance. And stuff like the napalm launcher and the meat hook could do enough damage over time to stop Rick’s healing factor.
Kazak: And that's when things start moving in Rick’s favor.
Gal:Yeah Rick was much faster, so Caleb’s heavy artillery would have a hard time hitting him and Rick could just power through Caleb’s faster weapons.
Kazak: And the final nail in Caleb’s coffin, berserker Rick. In this form he severely outclasses Caleb.
Gal:That meteor catching feat makes Rick much faster than anything Caleb has and being able to catch meteor made him worth twice as many tons of tnt
Kazak: That isn’t to say this fight was a stomp, Caleb’s power ups did help him make the fight last and if we ran this fight 10 times over, Caleb would probably win 4/10 times. But more often than not, Rick’s raw strength was enough to overcome Caleb’s vast arsenal.
Gal:Rest in peace Caleb, you were a legend, but every story must come to an end
Kazak: The winner the Rick Taylor
