Captain Boomerang vs The Sniper is a What-If? Death Battle written by Cheesypickles564, featuring Captain Boomerang from DC Comics against The Sniper from Team Fortress 2.
Description[]
DC Comics vs Team Fortress 2! Crikey, mate, these two blokes from Down Under are going head-to-head, so prepare a tinnie and find somewhere out woop-woop to read this! Will George teach the Sniper to mind his own bizzo, or will the Sniper prove that he’s the fair dinkum of sharpshooters?
Interlude[]
Puppy: George “Digger” Harkness, also known as Captain Boomerang of Task Force X.
Kitty: And the Sniper, TF2’s resident piss-bottler and Australian sharpshooter!
Puppy: Life can be harsh down under, whether you’re escaping the wildlife or the absolute beasts of men that reside there.
Kitty: But these two sharpshooting criminals are certainly part of the latter, so watch out, or you’ll end up without a head! He’s Puppy and I’m Kitty!
Puppy: And it’s our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.
“Captain Boomerang Brings the Boom in Death Battle!”[]
(Cue: Task Force X)
Puppy: Australia. Down under. The continent goes under many names, and it’s known for its powerful animals, amazing wildlife, and of course—boomerangs!
Kitty: Despite it nowadays being seen as a child’s toy, the boomerang is actually meant to be a weapon, and rather good one too! It’s really nifty and always comes back, just like I wish my dad would.
Puppy: But what good is a weapon without someone to wield it? Enter George ‘Digger’ Harkness, better known as Captain Boomerang!
Kitty: Secretly the illegitimate son of an American soldier and an Australian woman, Digger was raised in poverty and became incredibly skilled at creating boomerangs, eventually learning to use them as weapons! Smart kid.
Puppy: With his new affection for boomerangs, George would eventually take up a job as a performer for the toy company owned by his father and promote toy boomerangs, hoping to gain quick fame with his accurate throwing skills.
Kitty: But surprise, being a grown man who professionally plays with toys would never work out, and poor old Digger was ridiculed by his crowds. Instead of the fame he was hoping for, Digger was left with a fiery craving for revenge and decided to change his usage of boomerangs from toy promotion to crime! Digger soon adopted the alias Captain Boomerang and began a new life as a hired gun—er, boomerang!
Puppy: And to spring a crime spree, you’d definitely need some formidable weapons, and that’s where Digger’s aforementioned skill in boomerang crafting comes in! He’s invented multiple trick boomerangs, each with a different use.
Kitty: He’s got boomerangs with blades, boomerangs that blow up, boomerangs with electric properties—you name it!
Puppy: And that’s not even all. Digger has boomerangs that emit a supersonic screeching sound, remote controlled boomerangs, lasso boomerangs that can make him fly, boomerang—
Kitty: Y’know, before you give me a headache with how many times we’ve said ‘boomerang,’ can we at least cover my favorite, the Boomerang Chair?
Puppy: …and why bring that up? It’s not even something he can use in combat! We’re on a tight schedule here and it’s probably insanely uncomfortable and—
Kitty: Boomerang Chair.
Puppy: …oh, alright…
Kitty: Even if he somehow misplaces his Boomerang Chair, Digger also has more skills outside of his marksmanship, namely his stealth which he’s used to get out of many pickles before…
Puppy: All of these weapons and skills come together to make who Captain Boomerang is—and they’ve also ended up scoring him a powerful adversary, the Flash.
Kitty: Sheesh… he may be a clever person, but Digger really picks fights with the wrong people!
Puppy: Believe it or not, Digger’s actually been able to fight on par with the speedster, even if it more often than not ends up landing him in jail.
Kitty: And that’s where we get into the next part of his story, where he decided to join a government-operated ragtag team of villains in order to be pardoned for his crimes. You know them, they’re the Suicide Squad!
Puppy: Initially called Task Force X, the Suicide Squad was a group built entirely of criminals who would consistently put their lives on the line in suicide missions that government elites couldn’t even handle.
Kitty: Y’know, in Digger’s case, the death sentence doesn’t sound too bad anymore…
Puppy: But there were benefits for George, mainly in the form of him being able to kill as many people as he likes, especially allies of whoever the group’s target is.
Kitty: Hold the phone! If that’s what they get to do… Puppy, can you just turn around a bit so I can kill you…? I need to get on death row real quick.
Puppy: …what?! No! I think you need to see a therapist…
Kitty: Likewise! Even if seeing a shrink is less enjoyable then beheading the homeless for the sake of it, we do need to stay on topic… this ragtag group really fit old Digger like a glove, even if it meant leaving his rivalry with the Flash behind…which doesn’t sound like a bad idea, especially when you’re that outmatched.
Puppy: And of course, when you’re in such a dangerous line of work, you’re sure to pull off quite a few impressive feats.
Kitty: Yeah! His boomerangs are capable of decapitating enemies, destroying large structures, knocking out people like the Enchantress and even tagging the Flash!
Puppy: And while Captain Boomerang normally relies on his namesake for attacks, he’s actually pulled off some impressive physical feats too. He’s managed to fight people like the Flash, Deadshot and O.M.A.C, demolish androids with his bare hands, and even dig himself out of a large building’s debris.
Kitty: He’s also incredibly quick, too! He dodges gunfire on a daily basis, can outrun explosions and even react to, yet again, the Flash, which even if the speedster went easy on him, is really damn impressive. And that’s not even all—Boomer boy’s also pretty durable too!
Puppy: He regularly tanks explosions, shockwaves, his own explosive boomerangs, large falls, you name it! He’s even survived falling from the atmosphere and crashing into the Earth! But that doesn’t mean he’s without fault, though.
Kitty: He’s only human after all, so even if he has all of these crazy feats, he can still be taken out by simple means. He’s also obnoxious and easily distracted, and he mainly benefits from prep-time.
Puppy: But even then, he’s still a fighting machine who’s braved the toughest of challenges with his sheer will and his boomerangs, and he’ll never stop until he gets the target.
Kitty: …now that we’re done, can I kill you now? Getting into that Task Force sounds cooler every moment…
Puppy: Ugh…
Captain Boomerang: “It’s not a bloody children’s toy. It’s a refined and elegant weapon which, in the hands of a master like yours truly, can lop yer bloody head off!”
“The Sniper Headshots Death Battle!”[]
(Cue: The Sniper Theme)
Puppy: In the dawn of the 1850’s, the wealthy businessman Zephaniah Mann passed away, leaving his inheritance in the hands of his two sons, Blutarch and Redmond.
Kitty: And it wasn’t their daddy kicking’ the bucket that made the two brothers mad, it was the prospect of sharing his hard-earned business, so they did what any sane person would do—fight!
Puppy: This fighting went on for decades on end to the point where the brothers survived centuries just so they could see their brother die! They would also eventually hire multiple mercenaries, each with different skills.
Kitty: The mentally insane Medic was in charge of healing, the loud-mouthed Scout dealt with enemies quickly using his speed, and it goes on… but one mercenary in particular dealt with fighting from afar.
Puppy: Enter the Sniper, the calm, collected and incredibly skilled Australian marksman.
Kitty: Hey, I thought we covered this! The Sniper’s not from Australia, he’s from… an underwater New Zealand?
Puppy: Mun-Dee, as he was called, was the child of two New Zealand scientists who made a last-ditch effort to save their child when the country started flooding by putting him in a rocket ship and blasting him into space!
Kitty: Y’know, we’ve all heard this story before, but instead of crashing on a faraway planet and gaining superpowers, the rocket malfunctioned and Mun-Dee landed in Australia, where he was adopted by loving parents.
Puppy: The Sniper also had to practice his skill in firearms to survive the unforgiving outback, a skill he would bring to his job as a mercenary. But a sniper isn’t the only thing this former New-Zealander can wield!
Kitty: I mean, I don’t know why you’d need a sniper when you’ve got cool weapons like the Shooting Star, a laser gun, the Huntsman, a bow and arrow and my personal favorite, the Jarate, a sealed jar of piss!
Puppy: …piss?
Kitty: Piss. He’s also got a lot more weapons, which I’ll cover next!
- AWPer Hand: A sniper with guaranteed critical hits
- Sydney Sleeper: Fires Jarates which, as covered before, are jars of piss
- The Machina: A sniper that, when at full charge, can pierce through through
- Hitman’s Heatmaker: Decapitates enemies with every headshot
- Razorback: A shield that protects the Sniper from backhanded attacks. Can break
- Darwin’s Danger Shield: Increases the Sniper’s fire resistance
- Grappling Hook: Despite being self-explanatory, it’s quite useful, especially in helping the Sniper get out of jams
Kitty: I hate to admit it, but there are also situations where you don’t need a gun, so the Sniper also has a few melee weapons under his belt!
- Machete
- Shahanshah: A powerful weapon that deals more damage the lower the Sniper’s health is
Puppy: And of course, with a multitude of weapons also comes a multitude of feats!
Kitty: While he may be the best at attacking from afar, Mun-Dee’s certainly no slouch when it comes to close quarters combat! He can fire arrows hard enough to impale stone, break down locked doors even while injured, pierce the Spy’s rib cage with a knife and even kill the Heavy with his Kukri! Remember, the Heavy is one of the strongest Mercs.
Puppy: He’s also really durable, which is evident through him being able to survive being thrown by a yeti and tank hits from the Heavy, who can open military-grade doors with ease! He will still walk away with injuries from blows like that, but it’s still pretty impressive.
Kitty: He’s also fast enough to dodge bullets, rockets and even meteors, and he’s even been capable of keeping up with the Scout, the fastest of the mercenaries.
Puppy: But, of course, there are some drawbacks to being the Sniper. He’s more trained as an assassin rather than a front lines fighter, he’s incredibly vulnerable when he’s zoomed in with his sniper and he’s a glass cannon, after all.
Kitty: Mun-Dee’s still a badass, though, and with his philosophy and weapons, he’ll fire and fire until his target is dead.
The Sniper: ”Professionals have standards: Be polite, be efficient, and have a plan to kill everyone you meet.”
Intermission[]
Puppy: Alright, the combatants are set, and we've run the data through all possibilities. Feel free to vote for who you believe will win in the poll: https://strawpoll.com/PKgl3jmEpnp
Kitty: But now! IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!
Pre-Fight[]
(Cue: Red vs Blu)
Sand whipped across the Dustbowl as shots rang throughout the area! The vast ocean of sand and structures was sprinkled in some areas with corpses, half of them clad in blue and half of them dressed in red.
Safe in his perch high above all the violence was the Red Sniper, holding his namesake weapon close. With his eagle eyes and incredible sharpshooting skills, he fired at the blue team from afar.
“A bunch of bloody lunatics…” Mun-Dee mumbled under his breath as he aimed at the Heavy, who was eating a sandwich and dancing. “Bang.” He said quietly before pulling the trigger and blasting the Russian’s sandwich into pieces, causing the toothpick on top to fly forward and strike him in the forehead. He yells in agony before falling backwards into a ravine, plummeting to his doom.
With a quick chuckle, the Sniper adjusts his weapon to aim at the Scout, who was downing a can of BONK soda. Before he could pull the trigger, Mun-Dee noticed someone who seemed to be fighting the scout. He hadn’t seen this merc before, but he was clad in all blue, so he’d be his next target.
This “new merc” in particular was George Harkness, better known as Captain Boomerang. And Captain Boomerang had a job.
He reached to his belt and pulled out a razor-sharp boomerang, the metal end of it glistening under the blazing sun. “I don’t know why this ‘Redmond’ bloke wants ye dead, but I’ve got a job, and I intend to finish it.” The Aussie said, taking a step forward.
The Scout who stood before him finished drinking the BONK, crushed the can and threw it to the ground. “You clearly have NO idea who you’re talking to. Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brother, I hurt—“
The mercenary’s boasting was cut short by a direct sniper shot that blasted straight through his head, blowing it into pieces. The Scout’s body unceremoniously falls to the side, the blood and brain matter pooling on the ground next to his neck.
Captain Boomerang sighed with a mixture of disappointment over his lost kill and anger over the blood that was now on his clothes. “I just had this bloody thing dry cleaned.”
Drawing his boomerang once more, George’s eyes shift around the area. “Come out, come out, wherever you are…”
Another sniper shot was fired, and it would have been a perfect hit if it weren’t for Digger’s reflexes, which allowed him to deflect the bullet with his razor-sharp boomerang.
“Gotcha!” Captain Boomerang yells with delight as he stares up at his opponent’s perch, drawing three more boomerangs!
Fight![]
In the blink of an eye, Captain Boomerang threw three of his namesake weapons at his opponent! The Sniper had noticed this quick enough to dodge all three and deliver his own shot in return.
Digger attempts to avoid his opponent’s quick shot but ended up getting struck in the foot, prompting him to hide behind a large, dusty rock to consider his next move.
“Crikey… this hobo’s certainly a lot more competent than that bogan he sniped…” He reached into his satchel and his hand left with another boomerang in his hand. “Unfortunately for him, I can hit right back!”
The Sniper’s skilled eyes looked down at his target’s unoriginal but effective hiding place, waiting for a movement. Even though he was ready, Mun-Dee was caught off-guard when his opponent left the hiding spot and began to zip around the Dustbowl with the help of his trusty flying boomerang!
“Piss…” the Sniper mumbles as he watches his opponent dart around faster than he could perceive with his legs dangling out and a loud “yee-haw!” erupting from his mouth.
Mun-Dee responds to this by running to the window of his perch and jumping out to the roof, running across it and eventually getting a full-scale view of the Dustbowl below him. He readies his sniper once more and prepares to fire.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Mun-Dee fired each shot with amazing accuracy, but Digger, who was still bolting around the large-scale area with his flying boomerang evaded each one, eventually letting go of his transportation method and preparing to throw another boomerang.
Despite the distance between the two, they delivered attacks with incredible accuracy, almost hitting their opponent each time, only for their attack to fall short when their target manages to dodge it.
This short stalemate was ended when Boomerang threw an explosive boomerang that had only grazed the Sniper’s cheek, but on it’s way back, the weapon caught Sniper’s hat and exploded in front of his face, sending him falling backwards and nearly off the roof.
Barely grabbing on the edge of the roof, Mun-Dee mumbles to himself, “Dammit, no more games… I’ll just aim for the head, then…”
Pulling himself back up to his original perch, the Sniper grabs his firearm and slings it over his back—instead wielding a grappling hook. He attaches it to the side of the roof and jumps, swinging around the building and making a slow descent.
“And now he’s closin’ the distance!” Digger yells, wielding another boomerang. “It’s time to cut the bloody rope!”
The Sniper swings across the pillar he was perched on with one hand on his rope, the other trying to grab his machete. He finds it just in time to swing it forward and deflect the oncoming boomerang as he made his now fast-paced descent.
“You talk too much.” The Sniper coldly remarks before cutting his rope and leaping from the side of the pillar, a Jarate in hand. He throws it and in a yellow splendor, the jar explodes on Digger and covers him in a certain bodily liquid.
Just as the Sniper landed directly in front of him, Captain Boomerang dropped his current weapon and sighed.
“Did ye just throw piss at me…?”
“One thing’s for sure, it’s not lemonade.” The Sniper replies, taking his Bushwacka from his back and getting ready for some close-quarters!
“I wanna feel disgusted, but at this bloody point, this is probably the least vile thing that’s happened to me…” Digger sighs, wielding another boomerang.
Showing off his aggression, Captain Boomerang goes in for a quick blow by swinging his razor-sharp weapon downward, but the Sniper swiftly sidesteps to dodge the blow and retaliate with a heavy slash from the Bushwacka.
Digger barely blocked the blow with the boomerang he had in hand, but the raw force of Mun-Dee’s attack managed to knock the silver-blue weapon out of his target’s hands, sending it sliding across the dirt.
Having no time to speak another quick-witted insult, Digger ducks to dodge another slash of the Bushwacka and forces his fist into the Sniper’s crotch, sending him staggering backwards.
Standing back up and now drawing his electric boomerang, Digger begins to boast! “Ye just don’t get it, do ya? You’ve got some bloody tricks, I’ll give ye that, but nothing in your pockets can match my—“
CRRRACK!
Captain Boomerang fell backwards after the Sniper slammed the back of his sniper into his chest, resulting in Digger being cornered.
“Real snipers don’t monologue.” Mun-Dee remarks before flipping his sniper around, aiming it into his opponent’s mouth.
His speech was gurgled, but what Captain Boomerang said next was impressively clear. “Lucky fer me, I’m not a sniper… I’m a bloody Australian!”
In a brief, reckless move, Captain Boomerang thrusted his head forward, putting him at risk of choking on his target’s weapon but ending up successful, as he managed to ram his head into his opponent’s face, causing the Sniper to stumble backwards and drop his gun.
“Rubbish…” the Sniper mumbles, looking back up at his opponent who threw his electric boomerang at that exact moment. Mun-Dee had little time to react, but he managed to move his head enough to only let the boomerang graze his cheek—leaving a crimson streak of blood running across his face.
The Sniper sighed and raised his Bushwacka once more, preparing to go in with another strike—but the boomerang flipped around behind him and bolted towards it’s thrower, eventually getting in a close proximity to him and delivering a heavy electrical shock!
“AGGHH!” The Sniper yells, his pain only growing greater as Captain Boomerang rushed towards him and shoved an explosive boomerang into his gut—heralding a giant explosion that would send the Sniper flying backwards and into a large rock.
“Ya… ya prancin’ show pony…” the Sniper muttered under his breath as the dust cleared, struggling to find a bandage to patch his wound. “…ya…”
“What’s ‘a matter? Croc got yer tongue?” Captain Boomerang yells from outside of the dust cloud, throwing another razor-sharp weapon towards his opponent.
Luckily for Mun-Dee, the Razorback—a painted tribal shield hung over his back, managed to block the blow, even if it chipped the shield.
“Oh, crikey…” Boomerang’s eyes drop as he watches his opponent turn around, now holding his Stock SMG.
“Gotcha, ya spastic little gremlin!” Mun-Dee chuckles before absolutely UNLOADING on his opponent, pelting him with bullets in the arms and the stomach.
A blood-soaked Digger stumbled backwards, clutching his boomerang-filled satchel as he began to speak despite his heavy wounds. “You’ve given me a good fight, ya bugger, but now, I’ll just do what I do best… make a grand getaway!”
He draws his flying boomerang, points it upward and spits, before darting into the sky!
But prior to Captain Boomerang’s quick takeoff, The Sniper managed to grab his target’s leg and also end bolting upward.
“Huh…ya bloody…!” The Captain’s muffled curses were unable to be heard due to the velocity the two were going at. “You damn squatter!” He says as he repeatedly kicks his opponent with his free foot, trying to release the Sniper’s grip on his legs.
The high-stakes scuffle, however, also caused Digger to lose control of the boomerang, sending them darting around high above the Dustbowl!
“Piss…off…ya…mongrel!” Captain Boomerang mutters, continuously forcing his dirty boot into his opponent’s face.
“Stop yer tantrum, ye bloody piker! You’ll get us BOTH killed!” The Sniper yells back, tightening his grip on Captain Boomerang’s shoe as the boomerang spirals throughout the Dustbowl, sending them flying past structures and other mercenaries.
“That’s better than just YOU living!” Digger yells back, kicking Sniper’s face once more.
“…hnghhh…” The Sniper groans, his hat miraculously staying on his head despite the speed the two were going at. “…you ASKED for this!”
The Sniper draws another Jarate, giving Captain Boomerang time to share his thoughts. “Bloody hell, you’re awful.”
Mun-Dee smirks and smashes the jar into Boomerang’s back with his free hand, splashing him with urine and shoving shards of glass into his skin, eventually causing him to lose even more control of the flying boomerang.
His loss of dominance over the boomerang ended up sending them bolting out-of-control and through structures and any other mercenaries who got in the way of the boomerang.
“Why…don’t…you…know…how to pilot this bloody thing?!” Sniper angrily yelled at his opponent in between repetitive kicks-in-the-face.
“Yer the one who blasted me with piss, it’s yer damn fault!” Digger yelled back, trying to put his free hand on the boomerang and regain control.
While Captain Boomerang was fighting against the heavy winds, the Sniper took advantage and, despite the incredible speed the boomerang was going at, grabbed his Bushwacka and slashed at Digger’s back.
“Gahhh!” Captain Boomerang yells, swaying side-to-side to dodge more consecutive attacks from his opponent, taking his mind off controlling the flying boomerang. This sends it flying even more out-of-control and directly towards the Blu Heavy, who only looked upwards with disappointment before being torn in half by the speeding boomerang.
“Ugh, the blood’s in my mouth…” Boomerang mutters, repeatedly spitting in the wind. The Sniper realized his opponent’s distraction and grabbed the open handle of the boomerang, taking control and shoving Digger to the ground! The Sniper maneuvered the boomerang to take him to the top of another building.
Captain Boomerang slowly stumbled to his feet, trying to unzip his satchel and wield another weapon. “When I find ya, ya delinquent…I’ll gut yah and turn yer teeth into a necklace!”
Digger’s repeated curses and looking for his opponent were interrupted by a sniper shot that barely missed his head. “Oh, ya bloody bushman…”
He turned around and looked up, now seeing his opponent back in a sniping position atop a new perch.
The Sniper, now with the Machina in hand, begins to fire at his target, who runs behind a wooden structure to avoid the shots.
Digger reaches into his satchel to grab another boomerang, but a bullet breaks through the structure he was hiding behind and barely grazes his cheek, prompting him to find another method to outdo his opponent.
Captain Boomerang’s brainstorm was unceremoniously ended when the BLU Spy uncloaked right next to him—only being able to stare in fear as his opponent grabbed him by the shoulders.
“…you coward!” The Frenchman yelled as Digger used him like a human shield and ran to the side, causing the Sniper to switch his gun from the Machina to the Sydney Sleeper.
“Hold still and protect me, ya damn bludger!” Captain Boomerang yells, trying to get the Spy he captured to take bullets for him. The short scuffle ended when both the Frenchman and Digger looked up at the Sniper’s perch, and saw a Jarate approaching FAST.
“You simpleton…” the BLU Spy mumbles to Boomerang before the Jarate SMASHES into his chest, splashing his suit with urine. “…my suit! Damn you! You good-for-nothing—“
“Preciate it.” Digger briefly says before sprinting off to avoid more sniper shots, leaving the Spy there to clean his suit and silently curse Digger… which is what he would have done, had his head not exploded from another accurate shot delivered by Mun-Dee.
After digging through his satchel and outrunning more sniper shots, Digger pulls out a boomerang, mumbling “Got it.” before throwing it upwards and at his opponent.
The Sniper, who was too focused on firing at his opponent, didn’t notice the silver boomerang that, once it got in close proximity to Mun-Dee, released a sickening screeching sound that caused the Sniper to drop his weapon and scream.
“Aghhh…!” Mun-Dee’s scream only got louder as the screeching sound became more intense. “Hngh…you… I’m gonna turn ya into bloody rain!”
Despite the pain the screeching sound entailed, the Sniper managed to grab the Machina once more and aim at his opponent, only to get hit with a concussing blow from another boomerang.
He fell backwards in pain and put a finger atop the newly-formed cut on his forehead, breathing heavily as his opponent threw multiple explosive boomerangs at his perch.
“I… I gotta get off this bloody thing…” he mumbled, equipping the Hitman’s Heatmaker, standing up, and looking for a way to leave his perch before it collapsed from the explosive boomerangs.
Focusing on his target, who was wildly laughing and throwing explosive boomerangs at the bottom of the structure, the Sniper prepares to take a risky shot—he would shoot Digger’s boomerang and use its explosion against him!
“This has gone on for too long… piss off, big mouth!” The Sniper says, slowly pulling the trigger.
Captain Boomerang, unaware of his opponent’s plan, holds another explosive boomerang behind his head and prepares to throw it at the structure…
BANG!
Digger looked at the boomerang he was about to throw, his eyes widening as he realizes what his opponent had done. “Ya bloody whackjob…!”
BOOM!
The explosion sent Boomerang flying forward and into the now-flaming wooden pillars holding the Sniper’s perch up. He breaks through the pillars, catching his coat on fire and causing the building to start tipping over.
“…gah…crikey.” Boomerang mumbles, quickly snuffing out the fire on his coat. He looks forward and sees the flame-coated structure begin to fall from the inside. “When I get out, I’m gonna lop yer bloody head off…”
Instead of pondering his next move, Digger sprints out of the building and covers a good distance, eventually stopping to catch his breath.
This break was short-lived, though, and the Sniper, who had already exited the building via grappling hook sneak-attacks him with his machete! The only thing stopping Mun-Dee from stabbing his opponent’s heart was Digger’s quick reflexes, which allowed him to stumble backwards to dodge the blow.
Drawing a knife-edged boomerang as if on cue, Captain Boomerang looks at his opponent with a sadistic smile. “No more firin’ from afar, eh? Just mano e mano, bushman!”
The Sniper only replies by grimacing and swinging his machete downward in a blow that Digger blocked, forcing the two into a bladelock. “Yer not much of a talker, mate? That’ll make it a lot easier to kill yah!”
Boomerang balls his free hand into a fist and forces it into the Sniper’s face, causing him to fall backwards. Digger raises his boomerang above his head and slashes it down, but Mun-Dee barely blocks it with his machete.
“You are a bloody disgrace!” The Sniper yells, pushing upward and disarming Captain Boomerang.
“You kiss yer mother with that mouth?” Digger chuckles before he’s greeted by the Sniper slashing across his chest with the machete.
Captain Boomerang slowly staggers backwards, reaching for another boomerang in his satchel. “Ooh, ye—“
Digger is cut off by the Sniper forcing the machete into his shoulder, putting him in even more pain. “Not so smug now, are we?”
Captain Boomerang couldn’t even let out another witty remark before the Sniper shoved his machete into his gut, causing him to spit out blood.
“I always love to finish a job, but I’ll just let yer injuries deal with it.” The Sniper chuckles, launching his grappling hook at a nearby building and gliding out of sight.
“Hnghhhh…HNGHH…DAMN YOU!” Boomerang yells, despite his injuries. He rips the bloodstained machete out of his gut and draws his flying boomerang, allowing him to bolt towards his opponent’s new perch.
“I’m sick of this… yer holier-than-thou attitude… this makes me more glad than normal to KILL YE! No more tricks, just fight me LIKE A MAN!” Boomerang yells after he lands atop the building the Sniper had taken refuge on.
“Go to hell, wanka…” the Sniper mumbles, drawing the Shahanshah!
Digger rushes forward and swings his boomerang downwards, barely missing his opponent, who staggered backwards to dodge. Mun-Dee paces backwards on the creaking wooden ceiling of the structure, holding the Shahanshah tight and thinking over his next move.
It wasn’t long before Digger went in for another blow and slashed at Mun-Dee, who blocked once more with his knife, forcing the two into a fierce bladelock.
“I’m gonna plant this between yer eyes, ya gremlin!” The Sniper says, forcing more effort into overpowering his opponent’s melee boomerang.
“Doubt it, because I came PREPARED!” Captain Boomerang yells back, whipping out his electric boomerang and forcing it into Mun-Dee’s gut and shocking him!
“Hmghhh… I won’t fall for this… trick again…” The Sniper groans in agony before elbowing his opponent’s chest, sending him to the edge of the structure and ripping the boomerang out of his stomach.
Now released from the electrical current, the Sniper takes the Shahanshah once more and plunges it into his Digger’s shoulder and causing him to stumble even closer to the edge of the tall structure.
“Crikey… Damnit!” Captain Boomerang repeatedly curses as he burrows through his satchel for another boomerang.
“Ya keep yubbin’ off that big mouth of yers, even when yer about to die?” The Sniper chuckles, ripping the Shahanshah from his target’s shoulder and stabbing it into the other one, prompting a groan of pain from Digger. “You clearly don’t understand… us professionals have standards.”
The Sniper draws the Stock SMG again, before continuing to talk. “Be polite…”
He begins to fire at Boomerang, striking him in multiple parts of his body. “Be efficient.”
And lastly, he takes out a Jarate and prepares to throw it at his target. “And have a plan to kill everyone you meet.”
The Sniper throws the jar at his opponent, striking him in the chest with a critical blow that sends him flying off the side of the building.
“Tch.” The Sniper scoffs, walking away to continue sniping other mercenaries.
…but it wasn’t over yet, as Captain Boomerang had managed to deploy his lasso boomerang last second and latch on to the building! “YEE-HAW!”
Digger uses the momentum from his fall to swing around to the top of the building, where he would eventually let go of the lasso boomerang and land safely on the perch.
“Yer the one who don’t understand, bushman!” Captain Boomerang chuckles, throwing another knife-edged boomerang at his opponent!
Mun-Dee didn’t have enough time to react, however, and the boomerang struck the upper part of his left arm, tearing straight through the tendons and severing the arm. “Gahhh…!”
He did manage to dodge the boomerang on its way back, but he was still in shock of his arm being torn off so quickly and suddenly.
“Yer just some desert hobo, and I’M the professional here!” Boomerang yells, throwing another one of his namesake weapons at his opponent, who was slowly staggering backwards. This one struck his knee and made him even more sluggish.
“So before ya go, I’ve got one last bit of advice for ya!” Digger yells, pushing his opponent off the building.
“Don’t ever think ya can match my boomerangs…” He says before throwing an explosive boomerang at his quickly descending target, which strikes his only intact arm and tears that off too.
“‘CAUSE UNLIKE THEM, YER NEVER COMIN’ BACK!”
The explosive boomerang turns around, and on it’s way back, it strikes the Sniper in the back, tearing straight through him and exploding midair, completely blowing Mun-Dee into bloody mist from the inside!
Digger watches as his opponent goes up in flame underneath him, and he scoffs. “Serves ya right.”
Of course, his target would still have the last laugh, as the explosion sent a spare Jarate flying through the sky and into Digger, exploding on contact and splattering him with more urine.
“Crikey…”
KO!
- Ending Screen A: Digger sits atop his opponent’s perch, treating his wounds and trying to clean his shirt of the blood and urine.
- Ending Screen B: The Sniper’s glasses fall to the ground below, shattering on impact.

Kitty: Damn, that was COLD!
Puppy: Truth be told, this was really a tricky fight to figure out. Both had multiple weapons and tactics that either one of them could’ve taken the win, but there are a few factors that gave Boomerang the win.
Kitty: Yeah. The Sniper’s certainly a lot more skilled, but his skill’s really only in long-rage killing, meaning he was at a huge disadvantage in close quarters combat. Not to mention that Digger had a way to close that distance easily, that being the flying boomerang.
Puppy: And with Captain Boomerang’s more advanced and unpredictable weaponry, he’d definitely be able to catch his opponent off-guard and outdo him just as easily.
Kitty: Mun-Dee wasn’t entirely outmatched, though. He was slightly faster, as he had more consistent feats of bullet and missile dodging, while it’s hard to scale Digger to the Flash’s speed, especially considering that the speedster’s been shown to be FAR above his level at multiple points.
Puppy: But Boomerang also held the advantage in durability. He’s been able to survive explosions, shockwaves and even a fall from atmosphere! And while the Sniper’s had his fair share of wounds, he wouldn’t really be able to survive a few good hits from Boomerang’s more powerful weaponry.
Kitty: But couldn’t the Sniper headshot Digger and end it there? While he certainly could, Captain Boomerang would also be able to close the distance quickly.
Puppy: All in all, the Sniper was certainly one of the best at his job, but compared to Captain Boomerang’s superior weaponry, durability and combat skill, the Aussie was destined to be belly-up.
Kitty: You might have been unable to Mun-See it comin’, but boom! Let’s see the Sniper’s team scope with this outcome…
Puppy: The winner is Captain Boomerang.
