Landia V.S. Smaug is a What If? Death Battle by Vrokorta pitting Kirby's Landia against J.R.R. Tolkien's Smaug.
Description[]
Two.... dragons..... who guard treasure...... that's about it. WHO WILL WIN!?!
Interlude[]
Boomstick: Y'know, dragons are really cool.
Vrokorta: And there're a lot of 'em out there. (Boomstick: Ack!)
Wiz: And today were pitting Landia, The Four-Headed Guardian Angel-
Boomstick: Against Smaug, the terror of Erebor.
Vrokorta: I'm Vrokorta, and they're Wiz and Boomstick. It's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win, a Death Battle.
Landia[]
Vrokorta: Landia is a four headed dragon from the Kirby series. She lives in another dimension on the planet Halcandra, where she guards legendary treasure.
Boomstick: Dang, she sounds epic! Where is she?
Vrokorta: That IS the dragon.
Boomstick: WHAT?! You expect me to believe this cute little four-headed thing to be an unstoppable, fire-breathing dragon?!
Vrokorta: Well yes and no. Unstoppable, not quite. But fire-breathing is a definite yes.
Boomstick: Alright, so it breathes fire, what else can it do?
Wiz: Landia was strong enough to hold her own against Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, & Bandana Waddle Dee.
Boomstick: That's, actually pretty impressive.
Vrokorta: And that's not all! Landia can blow gusts of wind that conjure up sharp energy blades.
Wiz: And she has a tail whip attack.
Boomstick: Hey, are you sure it's a she?
Vrokorta: No. Landia doesn't have an official gender, so I'm referring to her as a she.
Boomstick: Okay, so she's like an epic lady dragon, I can get behind that.
Wiz: And she wields an ancient artifact known as the Master Crown.
Vrokorta: The Master Crown is said to have limitless power. This doesn't make her unstoppable, as she's been beaten before, but it does make her VERY powerful.
Wiz: The only way to remove the crown is to defeat its user, so good luck with that.
Vrokorta: She can also use the Master Crown to split into four separate dragons.
Boomstick: What the!? How's she?! *Sigh* Forget it.
Wiz: In this form, Landia can cover more ground with her attacks.
Vrokorta: And she gains some new moves.
Boomstick: Landia can create electrical links between her other heads to attack whoever's in between them, or to trap them in a tough spot, but this only works well in a 2D game, and won't be as helpful in a Death Battle.
Wiz: She can also create a giant fireball that she passes between her other heads to try and hit the enemy.
Vrokorta: After passing it around for a bit, one of the Landias will knock the fireball away, but the fireball comes back to blast the enemy!
Wiz: Her technique, Star Breath, allows her to shoot stars out of her mouth for long range attacks. When charged, the stars do more damage. She also has a tackle move that makes her temporarily invulnerable. When Landia charges her Star Breath enough, she can unleash the Landia Cannon which shoots a large, red star in front of her and shoots smaller stars in 5 other directions.
Boomstick: And when quadruple team isn't enough, it's time for a new form.
Wiz: Just by roaring, Landia can access her EX form. This form makes her stronger, faster, & smarter.
Boomstick: As four-headed Landia, the EX form lets her spit two fireballs out of each mouth, her energy blades are faster and will seek out the opponent, and her tail whip is faster.
Wiz: But that's just the tip of the iceberg, her split form gains more abilities too.
Vrokorta: The separate heads will now mix up who does what to confuse the opponent. They'll also move around more while charged with electricity. Lastly, when they pass around their giant fireball, they'll close in on the enemy to reduce dodging space, and, when the fireball gets launched away, it'll split into 3 fireballs to cover more ground and do more damage.
Boomstick: So she has a lot of abilities, what else does she have.
Vrokorta: Landia is extremely fast! She fought the Lor Starcutter, which can travel through dimensions in seconds, and she kept up with Kirby, who's MFTL+.
Wiz: She even makes her home on an inhospitable planet, meaning she's very adaptable to the environment and has great endurance.
Vrokorta: And she doesn't seem to have any notable weaknesses, she's only ever been defeated by extremely powerful beings like Kirby & DDD, and she only loses the master crown when defeated, so I'd say she's good to go for any fight.
Landia: MRAAAAAAURGH!
Smaug[]
Vrokorta: Smaug is one of many dragons in the Lord of the Rings universe, more specifically the Hobbit. Like most dragons, Smaug is obsessed with treasure, so when he took notice of the dwarf king's riches, you can imagine he proceeded to destroy a city & attack the castle, casting any surviving dwarves into exile & taking all the riches for himself.
Boomstick: Now THAT'S a dragon!
Vrokorta: Yeah, Smaug's a big deal, emphasis on big.
Wiz: In the books, Smaug is notably smaller than other dragons. But in the movies, he's ENORMOUS! Calculating over 141 meters in length!
Boomstick: And with great size comes great power, cause Smaug's strong enough to smash a boulder like you would a dirt clod.
Vrokorta: Even though Smaug is huge, he's still able to fly thanks to his wings.
Wiz: And like 80% of all dragons, Smaug can breathe fire.
Boomstick: But Smaug's got a little something special about his fire, he can choose to breathe streams of searing hot flames, or he can spew LIQUID FLAMES!
Vrokorta: It's kinda like lava, except it can smash through stone buildings.
Wiz: Smaug doesn't just breathe fire, his whole body is imbued with heat, making him so hot that the walls of his cave appeared to have been melted just by his passing through.
Boomstick: And when he's not breathing fire, he fights tooth and nail with his claws and teeth.
Smaug: "my teeth are swords, my claws spears"
Vrokorta: On top of all that, Smaug is really smart, and has heightened senses.
Wiz: His intelligence is equal to or greater than that of a human, and his senses allowed him to notice Bilbo even though he used the Ring to conceal himself.
Boomstick: He was even able to keep track of every bit of treasure he had, so much so that he noticed when Bilbo took just one thing from the horde. Man, that'd sure keep me from losing my money.
Vrokorta: Oh, almost forgot, Smaug's scales are so hard that no weaponry could pierce it.
Wiz: Although his underside is soft, he fixed that by sleeping on his money horde, letting gold, jewels, and gems get wedged into his scales, effectively guarding his soft belly.
Boomstick: But no amount of gold was gonna cover up his main weakness.
Vrokorta: He's got a bare patch of flesh that used to be covered by a scale, but the scale was knocked off during his attack on Dale.
Wiz: The bare patch is so close to his heart that a single black arrow to that spot was enough to kill him.
Boomstick: He's also arrogant enough to show off said weak spot to his enemies.
Vokorta: But he's still a dragon, so you should still be wary.
Intermission[]
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set.
Vrokorta: Lets see who wins.
Boomstick: IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLLLLLE!!!
Fight[]
All the workers at Egg Engines were fleeing in terror. The cause was soon revealed as Smaug arrived and started breathing liquid fire at them all. He laid waste to the factory as Metal General led everyone away.
Smaug laughed at the workers fleeing for their lives. Nothing could oppose him here. That is, until another dragon showed its faces. Smaug looked at it, seeing how small it was, and couldn't hold back a grin.
Smaug: HAH! Do you really think you can oppose ME?!
Landia: MRAHHRG!
Smaug: Hmph. Not even smart enough to speak. Very well, prepare to meet your end.
FIGHT
(Another Dimension - Kirby's Return to Dream Land Music Extended)
Smaug unleashed his flames on Landia, but she dodged it before unleashing her own flames. The flames took no effect as Smaug lunged at Landia. She moved out of the way just in time, & slapped Smaug with her tail. Smaug growled as he slammed Landia with his head, knocking her away.
Smaug: Hmph, pathetic.
Smaug was about to leave, when he was struck from above & knocked to the ground. He looked up to see Landia hovering over him. Smaug grew enraged that such a puny creature could match his strength. He climbed to his feet & took back to the air. Smaug breathed fire at her again, but Landia blew the fire back at Smaug with her wings. Smaug growled as his vision was concealed by his own flames. Because of this, he wasn't able to dodge the energy beams coming right at him.
Smaug: Grargh!
Smaug remained mostly unharmed, but he was mad. Smaug breathed his liquid flame at Landia, who moved just too late as her foot was singed. Landia dived down under Smaug & tackled him from beneath, knocking him into the air. Landia blew her winds in his direction, hitting him with energy beams. Smaug tried to breathe liquid flames at her, but the winds blew them back. Enraged, Smaug flew around Landia's winds & kicked Landia into a mountain, causing the whole thing to collapse.
Smaug: Hah! You couldn't possibly survive that!
However, four specks darted out from the rubble & came at Smaug. Landia had split into four separate dragons, and they started ramming Smaug from every angle, too fast for him to comprehend. Eventually the Landia's all stopped around Smaug. Smaug's was so mad, you could see in his eyes how much he wanted to kill Landia.
Smaug: YOU WON'T MAKE A FOOL OF ME!!!
Before Smaug could make his next move, all four Landias generated lightning between each other, electrocuting Smaug.
Smaug: GRRRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHG!!!!!!
The Landias starting firing their star breath at Smaug, dealing more & more damage by the second. Smaug tried to focus on one Landia, & bit down on the own next to him, swallowing her whole. The other Landias gasped as they each rammed Smaug from a different side.
Smaug: It's no use, your... "friend", is gone!
However, Smaug was wrong, as the Landia inside him started to fight back, knocking Smaug around against his will. He was slammed into a mountain repeatedly before the Landia escaped through his mouth, bloodied & wounded, but still alive. The other Landias came to her side, to make sure she was okay before moving onto their next strategy. Smaug painfully pulled himself off the mountain, blood dripping from his mouth. He turned to see Landia, but she was now purple. Landia EX. Smaug was so angry at how this dragon had humiliated him, that he'd begun to lose all sense.
Smaug: ROOOOOOOAR!!!
Smaug charged at his opponent, but Landia dodged & smacked his wing with her tail. Smaug retaliated by swinging his tail at her, to which she faltered, but held her... air. Landia bit down on Smaug's tail & started to slam him around, dragging him across the ground & tossing him in the air before slamming him from below. As they did this, Landia noticed Smaug's bare patch. Landia split into four once more, flew over Smaug, & slammed him with their giant fireballs, knocking him to the ground.
Smaug: I said your speed would prove futile. My armor is impenetrable to any-
But all four Landias charged their Landia Cannon, each shooting a large star at Smaug's patch. Smaug saw this and ducked to cover his patch, but the force of all four stars hit Smaug in the head and knocked him off his feet, knocking several scales off in the process. While Smaug was in the air, all four Landias flew at Smaug's bare patch and each used their invincible charge attack.
Smaug: GRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHH!!!!!!!!!!
Blood shot from Smaug's wound as he hit the ground.
(Stop Music)
Smaug lay on the ground, blood running down his scales. He looked up at the dragons he'd been fighting.
Smaug: I won't lose to you.
Smaug coughed up blood at these words. He tried to rise, but all four Landias shot his now bloody patch with their charged stars, ending Smaug instantly and getting more blood on his scales.
K.O.
Landia pried the gems from Smaug's scales to add to the rest of the treasure she was protecting.
Results[]
Boomstick: I could be upset that the cool dragon lost, but I kinda saw it coming.
Vrokorta: Landia was so fast that Smaug could barely land a single hit!
Wiz: Smaug had high level defense, but it was nothing compared to Landia, who could fight the planet busting Kirby, even if he was immune to her fire due to being imbued with it himself.
Vrokorta: But Landia had other abilities at her disposal, not to mention she'd eventually find HIS weak spot, while she doesn't even HAVE a weak spot.
Boomstick: In the end, Landia was just too fast.
Wiz: The winner is Landia.
