Pico vs Hank is an episode in BeautifulDuwanged's Season 2, starring Pico from the series of the same name fighting Hank J. Wimbleton from Madness Combat to see who'll be the goriest marksman.
Interlude[]
Game and Watch: Ah, gore. I love it. The way you'll watch the blood of others splat everywhere, and their guts spilled out! It's so fun.
ROB: Uh... Right. Gore is a major topic in the gaming industry, which has caused major issues within the market. From the rating system, to Karens complaining about how the game is too bloody, some games outright ignore this, and follow their own rules.
Game and Watch: Yeah! Like Pico, the Uzi-wielding murderer from Pico's School.
ROB: And Hank J. Wimbleton, the homicidal mercenary from Madness Combat.
ROB: -- And we'll be researching their weapons, armor, and skills, to find out who would win a DEATH BATTLE.
Pico[]
Game and Watch: Ah, school. Love it or hate it, it's one of the essential learning tools of society. But what happens when you have someone who-
ROB: Please- Don't try and put the plot in a good light. Anyways, a regular school with a regular teacher, a somewhat safe place, albeit, a bit boring at times, if not horrible.
Game and Watch: To be fair, imagine having to listen to this for seven hours a day.
ROB: Fair. Anyways, as Pico was in class, learning about apples and bananas, a kid named Cassandra burst out in class, tired of the shit the school was doing, and decided to shoot it up, killing nearly everyone at the school in the process.
Game and Watch: Though Pico was scared, he did what any sane kid would do. Whip out a gun and shoot the shit out of everyone! Well, mostly the goth kids, but still.
ROB: Armed with an assault rifle, Pico began to shoot down anyone in his way until he stopped at Cassandra, who turned into a demonic-like monster, which Pico would in-turn effortlessly defeat.
Game and Watch: Sadly, after these specific events, not only was Pico diagnosed with schizophrenia, along with becoming an insomniac, Pico essentially loved guns-- And in turn, became extremely homicidal! Talk about hero...
ROB: While that was true, this allowed Pico to in turn defeat any aliens and creatures that stood in his way. Speaking of Pico, we should probably drop his info now--
Game and Watch: Oh, yeah. Right.
Background
Name: Pico
Age: 16-18 years old
Gender: Male
Homicidal
Master at using automatic guns
Anti-Goth
ROB: Pico, even before he turned 18, was already notably homicidal, who'd dealt with nearly every problem and invasion that happened at his town.
Game and Watch: Yeah, and once he was old enough, he even became a mercenary! Though, after being hired by a ex-rockstar, he'd meet one of his oldest friends, and a previous ex of his. Boyfriend. Yup.
ROB: While this stopped Pico from wanting to kill him, he'd still go against him in a rap battle, but was still defeated by him. Although he was defeated, he'd never leave Boyfriend, albeit while they were already taken, and even helps him later when fighting against Tankman.
Game and Watch: Pico's also done several insane feats of skill and strength, even during this!
Feats
Fought against Cassandra and killed her.
Tanked a large explosion during the acts of Pico's School
Fought Piconjo, the Uberkids, and various Newgrounds characters
Choke-slammed a psychiatrist with no issue
Outsped and killed a majority of an entire SWAT Team, barehanded and by himself
Can dodge bullets and beams of energy
ROB: Pico can dodge bullets rather consistently, even fighting against those capable of even deflecting them, has access to various weapons he can use in combat, and has fought various people directly designed to or would have been stronger than him, which he's won against.
Game and Watch: Yeah! One time, he even defeated most of a SWAT team, only leaving one left because he ran off, without even trying, and has shown to have various supernatural abilities on his side, too.
Abilties
High weapon mastery
Healing
Superhuman Speed
Can summon a sword
High Stamina
The Portal
ROB: Pico has not only shown a high weapon mastery with his automatic guns and rifles, but even with his PAC-10 and Uzi, weapons he'd commonly use, along with anything else he'd be able to get his hands on, whether this is taken from his opponents or otherwise.
Game and Watch: Pico can heal gunshot wounds with the Medical Herb, move at superhuman speeds, last extended periods of time in combat, even when shot by several bullets, overpower and outspeed various SWAT members, and is even a great dancer!
ROB: Most notably, Pico has an insane durability, matched with his own strength. He can tank bullets, kick SWAT members through walls, cut them in half, impale someone with their own gun, and even tanked large grenade explosions from Bear.
Game and Watch: Yeah! Recall the monster he fought in Pico's School; Measuring the height of Pico when compared to the explosion it created, that would give around 16 meters in diameter, requiring over 48987914 joules. Pico could not only harm the monster, but even tanks attacks from it, so there's no reason Pico wouldn't scale to the explosion.
ROB: Obviously, while Pico is insanely strong, he's got a few weaknesses on his side. Being too clingy, Pico has a hard time leaving things behind, and has major issues with doing acts of it, and he can have a hard time with dealing with issues, considering his PTSD and all.
Game and Watch: Despite this, you don't want to disrespect Pico, or you'll just end with too many bullets in your skull.
Pico is seen singing alongside Boyfriend in one of his three songs.
Hank[]
ROB: Somewhere in Nevada lives a man who's hunted down by almost everyone in the world. This mercenary is well-known... Too known, really.
Game and Watch: Yeah, especially when you've killed over 692 people!
ROB: Well, his name is Hank J. Wimbleton. Some will call him insane, some will call him psychopathic, but he's just a regular Nevadean citizen.
Game and Watch: Well, to quote The Sniper, there's a big difference between a mercenary and a crazed gunman, but Hank is really both of them at the same time!
Background
Name: Hank Motherfucker Wimbleton
Age: Completely unknown
Gender: Male
Psychopathic Mercenary Gunman
Master of clown murder
ROB: Hank was a regular grunt... Who would be continuously attacked, but mostly looking for those to kill. Each time he died, he was resurrected, only gaining mere scars and bandages from encounters. Overtime, he suited himself with his iconic outfit, and set out to assassinate specific targets.
Game and Watch: Yeah! Hank's gone looking for several targets and has successfully killed them, like the Sheriff, or even the Auditor. He'll stop at nothing to give them pain and kill them, even if it's in turn for more destruction.
ROB: While Hank is very skilled at various types of weaponry, his main key is his large tolerance towards pain. He can shrug off his jaw being torn off, and fight while being shanked by Jebus, alongside other things.
Game and Watch: Not only does he have a high tolerance for pain, he's extremely difficult to kill. Not only will he be helped by the Higher Powers in some occasions, but he himself is extremely smart in combat. He can just casually manuever throgh Hell, which has it's many agents inside try their hardest to kill and torture those inside, which Hank has no difficulty in defeating!
Abilties
Superhuman skills with guns
Resurrection (With the Higher Powers)
Superhuman pain tolerance
Bullet Time
- (This can slow down Hank's perceptions)
High Stamina
Electricity Manipulation
ROB: Hank has not only shown this, but he even has access to Bullet Time, an ability allowing Hank to slow down his perceptions and shoot his opponents at blinding speed, and even became a M.A.G Agent. As a M.A.G Agent, Hank was granted numerous useful abilities that he can use within combat.
Game and Watch: Not only did this make him as strong as M.A.G agents, which were able to easily batter around his base form, but he gained the usage of Telekinesis and able to manipulate electricity, which he can use for offensive purposes or to even grab weaponry.
ROB: While this is very notable, Hank has also shown his fair share of physical feats, even on his own. He's fought characters like Jebus and Tricky, where the former could easily destroy the roof of a small room, and even at the start of the series, Hank could overpower Tricky, albeit, not the godlike one, though he does fight him later.
Game and Watch: Hell yeah! And not only is Hank powerful, but he's fast too! He can react to bullets, deflect bullets, and as a M.A.G agent, he could even block bullets with his electricity. Pretty quick, too!
ROB: Right. While Hank is fast and strong, he's still able to lose against those with enough power over him, with an unreliable resurrection from the Higher Powers, and with his pain tolerance not granting him an invulnerability, he still is a regular Nevadean, at the end of the day.
Tricky the Clown: HAAAAAAAAANK!!
Intermission[]
ROB: Now that the combatants are set, and we've run this for all possibilities...
Game and Watch: Oh, yeah. It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!!
DEATH BATTLE![]
Pre-Fight[]
Somewhere in Nevada
A grey landscape stretched across the horizon; a small grey building sat in the center, and a large cliff sat to the side. It was rather oddly quiet, though.
Though, within the peace of the quiet area, it was interrupted by the sound of a gunshot. Then, another one.
Moving around, the camera proceeded to focus onto the top of the building; There stood an orange-haired person there, a smile on his face as he held two guns, bullets wasted and laid everywhere. Behind him, laid the corpse of a grey male, his body covered in bullet holes.
"Stood no chance."
They spoke, in a metallic tone. This was identified as Pico, who smirked. Raising his gun, he looked around. There was no other people he saw, but wanted to make sure. Checking once more, he suddenly heard a gunshot from the ground below. Checking over, he saw a man who wore black, most of his face covered by a gray mask. This was no doubt just one of these people that attempted to kill him, of course, considering he held what seemed to be the same body type and color, although he just wanted to find that other merc...
Pocketing his guns real quick, Pico then jumped down from the building. It was a large drop, yes, but Pico could easily survive it. As he fell, he landed onto the ground, right behind the black-bearing man. As they turned around, Pico would identify the man as Hank J. Wimbleton then, who'd mostly been interrupting his works. This pissed him off slightly, a noticeable expression of it on Pico's face, matching with a large frown, and he wanted to kill Hank for a while, and despite never seeing him outside of pictures, this was finally the time to do so.
As Pico readied to withdraw his Uzis, Hank was unable to recognize why Pico was there, or even what he wanted, with his face only having a large frown plastered upon it. Inspecting them, though, he saw just what Pico's intent was, which was to kill Hank. As Pico immediately withdrew two Uzis from his pockets, long strips of bullets hanging from them, Hank withdrew his own pair, aiming forward.
"Nice guns, freak."
Pico grinned, aiming forward with both Uzis, keeping his fingers steadily held on the trigger. Hank, too, had done the same, waiting for Pico to start firing off first.
FIGHT![]
Soon enough, both began to fire their guns. As they did so, the two began to move around, trying to outpace and dodge the other's attacks, which allowed Pico to pick up a bit more speed than Hank was. Becoming a bit more faster than the other, he was able to jump upwards, before kicking Hank in the head, causing him to be thrown back a bit, and losing the Uzis in his hands.
Pico would aim forward again, firing at Hank as he fell, but as he did so, the bullets slowed. In fact, everything around Hank was slowing down, including himself, but this allowed the gunman to move aside from the bullets, whizzing right past him. Hank shook his head, rolling over and grabbing the Uzis once more, opening more fire upon Pico.
Pico, of course, had instead taken those shots like a beast. Each gunshot only collided with Pico's chest, which he was unaffected by, before running over and aiming one of his Uzi's right towards the head of Hank, causing the other to stop shooting.
"Your end, Wimbleton."
Pico spoke with a smirk, clicking the gun. As he went to do so, though, Hank whizzed right past Pico, even before the trigger was pulled. This confused Pico, as he looked around. Somehow, Hank had became faster than before. No matter, Pico thought to himself, he had no way of dodging THIS!
The orange-haired mercenary pointed his hand forward, and a yellow handle emerged from the ground. Wrapping his hand around it, he took the handle out, revealing it to be a longsword. As he pulled it out, Pico then began swinging towards Hank, red slashes covered the area around Pico as he swung at an astonishing speed.
Hank attempted to keep his distance, still firing towards Pico, but soon enough, the Uzis had ran out of ammo. Of course, causing Hank to stop unloading bullets on Pico, he then held them like weapons, looking towards the other mercenary.
Sighing, Hank raised the Uzis, and dashing forward, beginning to hit Pico through the use of melee swings with the empty guns, surprising Pico, though he knew how creative Hank could be in situations like this. Despite that fact, Pico was still being hit by him, before a final hit to his stomach swung him back.
Falling backwards, he landed on the ground, hands still held onto the sword. He wasn't going to have this end in such a pity regard, especially for himself, and quickly got up. Watching Hank intently, the psychopathic gunman had stopped moving, staring towards Pico.
Chuckling a bit, Pico raised the blade, holding the longsword forward. He'd then proceed to lunge forward, but Hank used this opportunity to block the attack with the empty Uzis. This was to no avail though, as Pico swung downwards once more, cutting the Uzis that Hank held in half.
Though, while it did cut through it like butter, this left Pico rather open, allowing Hank to deliver a punch to Pico's jaw, before grabbing him and slamming his knee into his gut, leaving Pico out of breath. Once doing so, Hank grabbed Pico by his hair, and slammed him downwards, tearing out a small chunk of his hair, and leaving Pico to fall face-first into the hard ground of Nevada.
Once Pico fell, he'd drop his sword down, leaving him to crawl back up. Hank, while he would have usually ended it with something quick, allowed Pico to stand up. He wasn't going to let Pico sit there and die slowly, Hank just wanted to end this now, really. As the other stood up, Hank went for a solid swing downwards towards Pico, but this allowed Pico to roll to the side. He'd gotten up, now, and grabbed Hank by the neck.
"Rude."
Pico simply replied to Hank's action, before reeling back a bit, and running forwards towards the wall of the grey building, and slamming Hank into it's wall, sending him right through it. This would allow Pico to enter the building, leaving Hank on the floor. Looking to the side, Pico saw a lead pipe laying on the ground, and proceeded to pick it up.
Though, as he went to end this, Hank jumped back up, closing his fists. As he did so, the grey doors swung open to their side, alerting the two.
Several grey men walked out of the doors, holding various knives and guns, aiming it towards Hank and Pico. This was known as the A.A.H.W, which this specific group were mostly known to be Grunt's, which Hank had dealt with easily. Pico had seen one of these earlier, too, before he slaughtered them with no issue for trying to kill him.
Sighing, Pico had to run towards one of the groups. Hank had presumably gotten the same idea, running towards the opposite, outpacing the gunfire shot towards them. Each mercenary delivered several punches, Pico especially beating each of their skulls inward with the use of his lead pipe, whilst Hank focused upon beating each, using one of them as a meatshield as he did so.
Once most of them were slaughtered, it allowed Hank to grab a glock from one of the Grunts, whilst Pico went to grab his Uzis...
Shit.
Both of Pico's Uzis fell out of his pocket, resting outside of the building, which forced Pico to have used the lead pipe now. He'd done the same earlier, though, so it was probably fair towards him. Sighing once more, Pico raised the lead pipe, and ran forward. On the other hand, Hank attempted firing multiple shots at Pico, who would deflect each shot with the pipe, albeit, causing the pipe to be damaged somewhat, and going for a downward swing, that Hank was able to dodge.
Hank, being able to dodge this, lead with a punch right into Pico's face, and then proceeded to begin beating upon Pico with multiple punches and kicks, leading him towards the wall. Now that he was able to do so, Hank grabbed Pico by his hair once more, and slammed his face into the wall, breaking the nose of the mercenary.
This pissed off Pico more than it should, and he gripped Hank's hand. Tearing his hand away, albeit forcing some of his own hair out, he grabbed Hank by his head using his free hand, and began smashing it against the wall instead of his. Pico was far too pissed off towards the gunman to even pay attention to what Hank was doing, which Hank was able to move the glock that laid in his hand around.
Soon enough, raising it upwards, he was able to shoot Pico in the arm that was holding his head, making him let go and drop Hank. Pico walked back a bit, holding his arm in pain. This was one of the few gunshots that hurt him, and Pico was able to still feel some of it. On the other hand, Hank was nearly unphased by the head-banging that Pico did.
Panting heavily, Pico had jumped back, trying to exit the building to grab his Uzis. Hank would see this, though, and went to fire the glock at him, although, it ran out of ammo, too. This gave Pico enough time to jump through and leave the building, to jump over. As he went to grab his Uzis, Hank was able to pick up another glock, shooting Pico in the leg, and causing him to fall over.
There was no way...
Pico couldn't lose to him. As he heard Hank step out of the building, Pico crawled towards his Uzis. His leg was bleeding a lot, coupled with the various bullet holes on his arms, albeit, the other minor ones on his body that he didn't mind. Looking back, he flipped over, holding one of the Uzis.
Hank stood above him, but didn't expect Pico to be readied like that. With this, Pico would exploit that, shooting bullet after bullet into Hank, throwing the psychopath back, and allowing Pico to dig into his pockets. He had a small medical herb that he'd have on him, mostly for all times, and taking a small hit of it allowed Pico to be mostly healed from it.
Getting up, the gunshots on his arm and leg were healed, and allowed Pico to look around. His sword was right there, too, and Pico would casually lift it up. Walking over towards Hank, he raised the sword upwards, and swung it down. Hank, who was seemingly already incapacitated, met a sword right through his neck, making it seem as if he were dead.
Though...
Hank's hand twitched, before he gripped right onto Pico's leg, slamming him to the side, and landing right on his arm, causing him to grunt in pain. The sword, too, had dropped, and Hank was able to grip it. He wasn't at all dead, and the sword to his neck seemed to merely be a minor inconvenience to Hank.
"Wh- What... That's..."
That's madness, Pico thought. He was unable to speak. He'd seen shit like this back when he was young, but there was no way. This was beyond anything he'd seen, and he's fought zombies, aliens, and dealt with every fucking thing imaginable. There was no way that this random mercenary was going to kill him.
He would, instead, roll back up, and get onto his feet. This was down to their fists now, and Pico knew this. He would walk forward, and went to punch Hank, but instead of allowing him to do so, Hank grabbed his arm, before slamming his entire weight upon Pico's. This forced the ginger mercenary to scream in pain, walking back and holding his arm. It hurt like hell, but he didn't mind this...
Pico wasn't going to play fair. Instead, he turned around, and suddenly... Pico had pulled out an assault rifle! There was no way Pico was holding onto it the entire fight, but, due to the laws of hammerspace and toonforce, he just had to have had it.
Immediately, Pico began shooting at Hank, emptying nearly all of it's ammo into Hank's body, and seemingly killed the mercenary. Though, Pico wanted to make sure, and walked forward. He raised the assault rifle, and then slammed it into Hank's skull, splitting his head open.
Music stops.
Pico sighed, dropping the rifle on the ground, and fell to his knees. He hurt like a motherfucker, and he had many reasons to feel like that. With a broken arm, he was able to barely even use the rifle, but as long as he could end it, he was happy...
But, behind him, a large, white thunderbolt hit the ground, launching Pico forward into the floor, and left a silhouette behind him. This black silhouette stood there, revealing itself to be... Hank.
This Hank was somewhat different though. With a large, red arm, he'd proceed to step forward, raising his arm upwards, and grabbing Pico with it.
"F- Fuck you..."
Pico spoke, looking towards Hank as he held him in the air. As he did so, Hank tossed him upwards, and then proceeded to deliver one solid punch to Pico's chest. This singular punch, charged with electricity, was able to completely decimate his body, and left nearly nothing left of them, except for the rain of blood that came down upon Hank, and the ground.
Nearly everything, including Hank, and the ground, was stained with Pico's blood. Though, Hank found that to be pretty fun, nodding a bit, before walking away from the mess.
K.O![]
Post-Analysis[]
Game and Watch: Wow! That was really neat.
ROB: I agree. This fight was extremely interesting, with both having nearly the same kinds of edges and stats against eachother.
Game and Watch: Well, yeah! Both were able to successfully dodge bullets, and were masters in combat with various kinds of weapons, as well as similar feats of strength. Pico could decimate an entire SWAT team, and Hank can consistently decimate groups of Grunts sent after him, along with both being able to tank similar stuff, such as Pico's room-sized explosion versus Hank scaling to Jebus' roof busting.
ROB: Of course, while both were totally even in skill to a degree, with Pico being able to defeat an entire SWAT team, and having a few years of experience under his belt, along with being a trained mercenary, whilst Hank can defeat those who try their hardest against him and have training for what seems most of their life, along with abilities that they could use with ease.
Game and Watch: Although Hank's Bullet Time was extremely useful, and granted minor edge, it all just came down to their inherit weaknesses, which was with their battlefield emotions.
ROB: Nevadeans, notably, completely are unaffected by the trauma in combat, and madness they're granted, with Hank being a peak example of this. On the other hand, we know Pico's extremely vulnerable, and can be easily pissed and manipulated, which was a major weakness, alongside his PTSD.
Game and Watch: And, of course, this wasn't even taking account the Higher Powers chance of resurrecting Hank, as long as he was trying to kill or was causing madness, and M.A.G Hank, which was essentially an instant win condition for him, being able to decimate those who'd be comparable to Hank, and Pico having no counter or way to really harm him, along with stuff like Telekinesis and Electricity being able to easily kill Pico, given the chance!
ROB: Basically, all this came down to in base was whether Hank could exploit Pico's emotions or not, but eventually, Pico would have had to dealt with M.A.G Hank, which Pico couldn't do anything against.
Game and Watch: I guess it was just a matter of time until Hank turned Pico to pieces.
ROB: The winner is Hank J. Wimbleton.

Trivia[]
- This is BeautifulDuwanged's 4th Protagonist vs Protagonist themed Death Battle, preceded by Mordecai vs Twilight Sparkle, Kars vs Kirby, and Shrek vs Denji.
- The connections are that both are iconic and classic Newgrounds shooters renowned for their gritty and gorey style. Additionally, both have fought against large groups intended to kill them (The Uberkids and AAHW) which they easily surpassed, and a major part of their arsenal being guns they have access to.
- The battle would be in hand drawn to pay homage to both combatants' series.
