Description[]
Avatar vs Death Note. Which of these two powerless, arrogant but planning individuals will win? Will Light put the non-bender in his place? Or will Light's story be on its last page?
Interlude[]
Wiz: When you think of protagonists, you mainly think of big, strong and righteous people, sworn on protecting others, right?
Boomstick: But for these two, they throw that stuff out of the window! Like Sokka, the non-bender of Team Avatar!
Wiz: And Light Yagami, the cool, calculating owner of the Death Note.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick!
Wiz: And it's our job to analyse their weapons, armour and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle!
Sokka[]
Wiz: During the 100 Year War, the Southern Water Tribe was relatively peaceful, cut off from the world and even their sibling tribe, they were both isolated and defenseless.
Boomstick: So when the Firebenders attacked because of course they did, many were not able to defend their tribe. The raid left many traumatized, but none more so than Katara and Sokka, who had lost their mom. Sure they're not made by Disney?
Wiz: When this first raid happened, Sokka was too young to stop it. As he grew older, he became the main soldier for the Water Tribe, still bickering with his sister. But funnily enough, this bickering ended up changing their lives for the better.
Boomstick: Yeah, so funny story. Katara got so mad at Sokka that she accidentally split open an iceberg with waterbending and coincidentally, this iceberg held the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang!
Wiz: But the Fire Nation caught wind of the Avatar returning to the Water Tribe with the two and came back, demanding for the Avatar. Naturally, like all good friends, they didn't budge, and set off on a journey for the Northern Water Tribe.
Boomstick: While all three heroes became powerful in their own right, Sokka was the only one who could not bend elements, but he made up for it with brains, brawn and a hell of a lot of weapons!
Wiz: Sokka's trademark weapon is the boomerang, which does always come back. With it, he can hit multiple foes at once. He can even knock out or stun multiple people with it. He's even able to knock away this big animal.
Boomstick: Aah! What the hell is that?!
Wiz: Well, I imagine its some sort of spider-
Boomstick: Who knows and who cares? Sokka has amazing accuracy with it, able to hit Combus-Sorry, Sparky Sparky Boom Man in his weak point, cutting off his chi flow, which eventually killed him.
(Boomstick pulls out a boomerang)
Wiz: Where...did you get that?
Boomstick: Found it in your safe.
Wiz: Wait, how'd you get into my-Whatever, why do you have it?
Boomstick: Hi-yah!
(Boomstick throws the boomerang, which turns around and hits him in the head.)
Boomstick: Aaagh, damn! My throwing stick has boomeranged on me!
Wiz: (sigh) Moving on. Sokka also has a club he can use for blunt strikes, even if it does slow him down.
Boomstick: With his club, Sokka was able to knock out a full grown man with one whack with the handle and even block frozen flowers thrown like shurikens! Woah! Where can I get a club like that?
Wiz: You know, maybe it's best if you...don't. He even has bladed weapons such as knives, which he once used to conduct sound, spears and his trademark Meteorite Sword. Forged from the fragments of a...well, meteorite, this sword is able to slice through most durable surfaces, including steel and stone.
Boomstick: With the space sword, Sokka was able to cut through metal turrets, slice through stone soldiers and the hull of an airship, as well as send a Fire Nation soldier plummeting to his death by slicing through the metal platform he was standing on. Damn! That's cold!
Wiz: But Sokka's bread and butter is his brains. He is a brilliant strategists and is able to completely plan and pull off a full invasion of the Fire Nation. In fact, most of the final battle was coordinated by him.
Boomstick: He's a great engineer. He is able to design and bombs to mimic firebending, glue bombs, armour for Appa the sky-bison and even chainmail armour that was able to protect the group against chi-blocking attacks from people such as Ty Lee.
Wiz: He's also great at improvising. As stated before, Sokka used a knife to conduct sound and hear better with a tree. However, he's also used the environment to even the playing field against his sword fighting teacher, Piandao.
Boomstick: Who once stated that with training, Sokka could be a better sword fighter than himself! Woah! That's crazy!
Wiz: Sokka's strong enough to roll a giant rock across a courtyard, knock out Wan Shi Tong, a large owl-like spirit...who was able to smash through walls and even held the weight of Toph while fighting Firebenders, and on another occasion, held up the weight of a grown man.
Boomstick: Jesus! But he's pretty tough, too. He survived being thrown from a high place into a swamp and got right back up, has been tossed across rooms with no discomfort and smashed around the place by a swamp monster, and was completely fine!
Wiz: And one time, the second time Aang entered the Avatar state, he destroyed a building with an air 'explosion' and Sokka was tossed back by it, but was fine and got up almost immediately. He's fast enough to dodge an unexpected sword swing, block close range attacks from Mai and dodged an unexpected fire blast from Azula.
Boomstick: He's quick enough to dodge arrows fired at him from a bow, and hell, here he says he fights people better than him all the time and just outhinks 'em.
Wiz: While Sokka is smart and powerful in his own right, he's not perfect. He can be clumsy at times and reckless. Often yelling out his name and doing a battle cry before attacking.
Boomstick: Yeah..sometimes he can be kind of an idiot. He's cocky and sometimes lazy, hell. Once he moved a boulder just to make a chair in shade to rest. He's overconfident and overprotective of his sister.
Wiz: And most of his weapons are close-range. Even his boomerang isn't that deadly, so anyone with fast ranged attacks have an advantage over him. And he's far from the most powerful character in his group. Still, you have to remember he's like, 16 and has yet to reach his full potential as a fighter.
Boomstick: Still, I'd think twice before picking a fight with this guy, especially since he can HIT YOU TWICE WITH ONE ATTACK!
(Sokka: Boomerang! You do always come back!)
Light Yagami[]
Wiz: In the distant past of 2003, an ancient god of death -a Shinigami- named Ryuk was bored one day. Desiring to cause chaos to put a stop to his boredom, he dropped a special notebook down to earth. The Death Note.
Boomstick: Then some smart kid picked it up. Light Yagami. He was your average anime protagonist, smart, hot, hardworking, overall a great guy. Shame that it all went to hell.
Wiz: During what was supposed to be a normal school day, Light stumbled upon the Death Note. The Death Note stated that if a human's name is written in the book, that person will die. However, Light was skeptical of its authenticity and decided to try it out. So he wrote down a name, an action that would taint his life forever.
Boomstick: A book that could kill people? Where can I get one?
Wiz: Light must know the person's name and face to kill them. He is also responsible for determining the time, place and conditions of the person's death and if not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack in 40 seconds, if he does specify the conditions, it takes 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
Boomstick: So Light wrote another name, then another, then a ton more, then even more, but once the police started getting involved, he started picking off them too.
Wiz: So Light decided his end goal: He would play God and cleanse the earth, killing everyone he deemed to be evil. As Light's killings reached a monumental scale, the public dubbed the mysterious murderer: Kira.
Boomstick: So then the police got involved, including a super-genius detective known as L. But Light had a plan, 'cause he always does. And it was the most convoluted and stupid plan ever!
Wiz: As L tried to catch Kira, Light realised that L would be his nemesis and a game of mind-games occurred. They became frenemies, Light constantly tried to outwit L and the police force, no-one had an advantage.
Boomstick: Until Light joined the police force as a trick, killed L, turned into a straight villain and...died. Wow, really-really dropped the ball there.
Wiz: As mentioned before, Light wields the Death Note. He even has a piece of the death note concealed inside his watch. Whoever holds the Death Note can see Ryuk, who follows Light around and can tell him when someone's stalking him, or he can tell Light where cameras are.
Boomstick: There's a few more rules to the Death Note. Like the rule that says that if you misspell someone's name 4 times, they'll be freed from the Death Note and it'll be useless on them. Their death also has to be physically possible and if it is impossible, they'll just die from a heart attack.
Wiz: Also, Ryuk is almost invulnerable, so even if someone does notice him, they usually can't do anything about it.
Boomstick: But if he doesn't have the Death Note around he can...he can...(laughing loudly)
Wiz: Get it together. Light is quite athletic, able to take punches and kicks from L, as well as able to stagger him with his blows. He is able to send people flying with his blows.
Boomstick: He's even able to beat the junior champion in a tennis match. Dang, he's alright, but he has more than fists...right?
Wiz: Well, he does have a knife and a gun from working with the police force-
Boomstick: Now we're talkin'!
Wiz: But he usually only uses the knife for interrogation and intimidation and doesn't usually use it in a fight, but that doesn't mean he can't.
Boomstick: Wooooow...But I guess physicality isn't what Light is all about. There's no way around it, he's a goddamn genius! I mean, he managed to keep his life as Kira secret for 5 years, while working in with the police to catch Kira! I mean, what the hell?!
Wiz: He's manipulated an ex-FBI agent into giving him her ID and therefore her name, got full marks on a prestigious university entrance test and developed a plan that included losing the Death Note and then regaining it along with his memories to gain L's trust. That is impossible.
Boomstick: Not for Light! But don't go off thinking that him tricking the ex-FBI agent was a one-off thing, no. He got a current FBI agent to not only tell Light his name, but to write down the names of other agents into the Death Note!
Wiz: He's a master of acting and manipulating. He's able to keep up his act even in the most dire of circumstances. Heck, in one instance, he used a potato chip bag to disguise his killings under...64 cameras. 64.
Boomstick: Hell, he even created an electrical current to destroy his book if it was ever compromised! Jesus!
Wiz: He survived getting shot multiple times and while severely injured in the manga, he was still able to keep conscious, and in the anime, he was able to walk away a short distance. But smarts are his bread and butter, able to manipulate almost anyone he likes.
Boomstick: But let's be real. While he is freaking smart and could best most humans in normal fights, he has some pretty big drawbacks.
Wiz: Indeed. He is extremely arrogant and has an enormous God complex. Essentially, he is overconfident and believes himself to be the best. And if these things are challenged, Light can panic or get aggressive.
Boomstick: That and it's not impossible to outsmart or trick him. If he was perfect, he would not have died at the end. Mark my words, he will take a potato chip...and EAT IT! Ha! You knew I had to sneak that one in there!
(Light Yagami: Follow the teachings of God and receive his blessings, and so it shall be that the seas again become bountiful.)
Intermission[]
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!!!
Poll[]
Death Battle[]
Inside Light Yagami's room.
Light Yagami, better known by his alias Kira, was hunched over a notebook in a dimly-lit room, a pencil scratching against the paper intensely. He was concentrated, entering seemingly random names into the book, smirking to himself. There was a tv next to him, and it was playing the news, although Light wasn't looking at it much. He only glanced at it to look at a criminal and get his name, before chuckling and beginning to write again.
"Productive today, eh Light?" Said the Shinigami Ryuk from behind him, munching on an apple. Light brushed his light-brown hair out of his eyes and continued writing, not turning to see the Shinigami behind him. He was not surprised in the slightest about the God of Death behind him, after all, this was normal for him.
The finished writing a name and turned back to the tv, listening intently. There was a flash as the news article changed. They were no longer talking about criminals. Light sighed and leaned back. He guessed he was done for the day.
"Today, the Avatar known as Aang was recently seen saving a city from a flood. Aang, also referred to as the savior of the world, was also-" The lady continued, but Light paid no more attention. He scooped up the Death Note and turned to look at Ryuk, frustration showing behind his outwardly calm demeanor.
"That person is standing in the way of Kira's goal. That Aang, that Avatar. What even is an Avatar? It doesn't matter. He needs to go." He told himself. Ryuk smiled evilly.
"Now, that's interesting!" Ryuk said, as Light turned his back on the Shinigami once again.
"We need to go soon. I'll pack." He commanded, even though he knew that the Ryuk didn't have anything to pack. Light grabbed his knife and pistol and smirked to himself, stuffing them away.
"Aang was last seen..." Began the news reporter. Light turned to the tv and listened intensely. Once he got the location, he began chuckling. Then laughing happily. The laugh transformed quickly. It twisted, distorted until it became a laugh fit for a mass-murderer. Well, that fits, doesn't it?
Now, with Aang and his friends, a week later.
Sokka crashed through a bush, following some sort of animal. His machete was drawn as he ran. The Avatar known simply as Aang called after him, alongside a girl's voice, his sister Katara.
"Come here, meat!" Sokka cried out, darting left and right to avoid tree branches. Quicker than Sokka had ever anticipated, the animal turned and scurried up the tree. Sokka ran straight into the tree and fell back, groaning.
"I'll get you!" He cried out, pulling out his boomerang. He drew his arm back, but was interrupted by a yell from Katara, who came crashing through the bushes, angry.
"Great job! As if torturing that poor animal was enough, you let everyone else know we're here, animals included!"
"Oh, really. Like there's anyone here." Sokka responded, crossing his arms. Aang came flew next to Sokka and landed softly. Sokka looked at him and pointed to the sky.
"Come on, as if there's anyone here, right?" He asked the Avatar, who grinned.
"I can check." He said simply, extending the wings from his signature staff, turning it into a glider in one swift move. He took off quickly, flying higher and higher into the air. Sokka and Katara glared at each other while Aang checked for people. After about a minute, the young Avatar landed.
"Well?" Sokka pressed him.
"Well, there's someone here." Katara gasped as Sokka drew his Meteorite Sword, but Aang shushed them with another sentence. "No, wait! There's only one, and he looks about Sokka's age." Sokka raised his eyebrows as Aang pointed diagonally left. "Over there." He said, as Sokka and Katara took off.
Light looked around himself. There was a clearing, a good place to rest, but a fine place to be ambushed. He inched closer to the middle of the clearing, pulling out his pencil. He heard a whoosh but thought nothing of it.
"You're being followed." Ryuk advised him. Light twisted around. Standing there was a group of three. He observed them closely. One of the boys had a ponytail of sorts, no, a warrior's wolf tail, the other was bald and had an arrow tattooed on his forehead. The other was a girl. Light looked back at the young bald one. With a small gasp, he realised it was Aang, the avatar.
Putting on a fake shocked expression, he let out a shout. "The Avatar!" He yelled, feigning delight. Aang grinned awkwardly. The girl looked at Light and advanced on him.
"Who are you? What's that book?" She pressed him. Light took a small step back, still putting on his shocked expression.
"Please! I'm just a guy exploring, with a journal!" he said, showing her the pencil. Deciding to strike, he asked his own question. "Obviously I know you're the Avatar." He began, gesturing towards Aang, who nodded. "But who are you two?"
The older boy stepped forwards. "That's Katara, my sister." He responded, as Light began to write in his book. He smirked.
"Katara, Aang. Wait, how do you spell that?" He asked, looking at Aang. He giggled and glided closer to him.
"A-A-N-G." He spelt out. Light concealed his evil grin as he began to write their names down.
"Oh, and...last name?" He pressed. Aang and Katara looked at each other with confusion as Sokka rounded on Light.
"Last name?" He asked. Light took a moment to think, it was unlikely that they were genuine, but Light was a master of acting, he looked into Sokka's eyes and realised that he was not joking. They did not have a last name.
"Okay..." He muttered, finishing their names. With a smile, he looked at his watch and began counting down the seconds.
40. He thought, shutting the book and putting his pencil away. Deciding to reduce suspicion, Light began to make conversation.
"Why have you three come here?" He asked with an air of mild confusion. Aang smiled and responded happily.
"Oh. Well, our friends Toph and Suki were coming through here before, and we're trying to meet up with them, why are you here?"
30.
"Stay in your element, Light." Ryuk warned him. Light stopped and took a moment to think over the Shinigami's words. It must've been some sort of clue. He shrugged and pointed at his book.
"Just trying to explore, get a good view of the forest, that's all." The three opposing Light shrugged and smiled. Light glimpsed at Sokka with mild interest. He had not given up his name, was he aware and putting on a show? Did he know who Kira was? Light decided to investigate further.
20.
"Do you three know who Kira is?" He asked, shocking the Shinigami next to Light. Aang looked at Katara and Sokka with confusion and the three paused, before turning back to Light and shaking their heads. Light continued with the investigation.
"Really? Are you sure? He's all over the news." He said, still trying to sound casual. Katara, the girl doomed to death, narrowed her eyes.
"Why are you so interested in knowing if we know?" She demanded, pointing at Light.
10. She thinks she's onto me, how sweet.
"Just trying to help you guys. I hear Kira mysteriously kills people with heart attacks. It's strange, really." He answered back, still maintaining a casual demeanor. Sokka looked over at Light and laughed.
"You can't be serious? You don't believe that stuff, do you?" He chuckled, angering Light slowly. He'd find out soon...
In 5 seconds, actually. He said in his mind.
"Yes, I do." Light said, crossing his arms.
3 seconds.
"In fact, I'd watch my step. Maybe Kira heard you and will kill you right now." Light continued, adding a fake chuckle.
Now.
Almost as if his thoughts had triggered it, Aang and Katara gasped. Sokka looked at them with curiosity, drawing his boomerang.
Ah, so he has a boomerang. Light thought, observing the warrior.
"Aang? Katara? What's going on?" He asked, as Aang and Katara remained frozen in place. Light smiled evilly, as Ryuk watched in fascination, munching an apple. Aang reached up. He placed his arm on his chest, in the middle, where his heart would be.
"My chest..." He began, before he crumpled over, falling on his back. Katara fell on her stomach, following Aang's lead. Light smiled, if it was possible, more. Sokka let out a yell and ran to Katara's side, rolling her over. Katara could've been sleeping, if her skin wasn't cold, and if she was breathing.
The Shinigami and Light looked at Sokka, who was shaking slightly. But he was dead quiet. Sokka slowly stood up and turned to face Light, who was slightly shaken. He had not expected this guy to grow angry. He wanted to make his escape while Sokka was crying, but he was simply glaring at Light.
"Now, tell me...How did Kira kill people?" He asked, gripping his boomerang tightly. Light smirked.
"Heart attacks."
"Oh, ok. Now tell me Kira, what was the point of killing my best friends?" He spat. Light gasped slightly, but kept up his casual demeanor. He had called him Kira. He was observant, Light could give him that.
When Light gave no answer, Sokka drew his arm back and with a yell, threw the boomerang at him. Light smiled and moved to the side. The boomerang whooshed past Light and rose into the air. He laughed.
"Nice one." He said simply. Ryuk looked at Light.
"Oh, that'll come back to haunt you." The Shinigami advised. Light looked at the God of Death with slight confusion, but realised too late it was a clue. The boomerang crashed into the back of Light's head, sending him to the ground. He laughed softly and got to his feet. Sokka was holding the boomerang, fire in his eyes.
"Okay. Okay, okay. So you're observant and a good fighter." He nodded, Sokka's expression didn't change. "Now, warrior. Tell me your name and you're legacy will be remembered for generations."
"I already HAVE a legacy!" Sokka screamed. Light grimaced slightly and crossed his arms.
"Fine. Be that way." Light muttered, noticing a sword hilt poking out from behind his shoulder. So he had a boomerang and a sword. He got more interesting every second.
FIGHT!
Sokka threw the boomerang at Light once more, also charging at him, holding a club up high. Light showed a smug smile before ducking under the boomerang. Sokka swung his club downwards. Light tilted his head ever so slightly, narrowly avoiding the swing. In response, Light let loose a kick, connecting with Sokka's stomach. Sokka let out a yell and tumbled across the ground.
"Light." Ryuk said simply. Light ducked once again, the boomerang flew right above Light, one second later and Light would've been hit. Sokka let out a groan and jumped to his feet in time to catch the boomerang.
"That's not going to work anymore." Light advised, smiling. Sokka sighed and ran towards him again. Sokka thrusted a fist forward. Light scoffed and caught it with his left, pulling out a knife with his right. Light held the knife to Sokka's neck.
"You're name. Please." He muttered. Sokka eyed the knife warily.
"Alright! My name is..."
"Yes?" Light prompted him, hiding his excitement. Sokka took a moment to think. Soon after Aang and Katara gave Light their names they dropped dead.
"W-Wang Fire!" He gasped. Light's smile grew and pushed Sokka back, pulling out a pencil. Light quickly scribbled down 'Wang Fire'.
40
Light started chuckling evilly. Sokka also smiled. Light narrowed his eyes, but his train of thought was interrupted by a boomerang striking him in his left hand. Light gasped and instinctively dropped the Death Note. Sokka let out a loud 'yes!', before rushing in to attack.
Light jumped backwards and groaned. He eyed the Death Note, and so did Sokka. Without warning, they both ran towards the Death Note, but Sokka was closer. The Water Tribe Warrior slid on his back, scooping up the book and sliding past Light.
Light twisted around to see Sokka hugging the Death Note. Sokka looked at Light happily, but his eyes drifted to the right. Ryuk smiled at him. Sokka let out a loud scream and dropped the book. In Sokka's view, there was a weird invisible figure there.
10
Light sprinted towards Sokka, sucker punching him in the face to send him skidding backwards. Light scooped up his book and grinned evilly. He looked at his watch. He counted down the seconds with the watch, but when it reached zero, Light's eyes widened.
"An-An alias!" He yelled, shocked. "Damn it, three more tries." He muttered.
"Ha ha!" Sokka laughed, pointing at Light. "You really thought my name was Wang Fire? Oh, man. Sokka the Genius outsmarted you! Ha ha ha!"
But Light was also smiling, shocking him.
"Did you just say Sokka?" Light asked softly. Sokka gasped and clapped a hand over his mouth. Light laughed loudly and opened his Death Note, he began to write down his name...but not the right one. He wrote down 'Socka', thinking that was how you spelled his name. Sokka groaned and rushed forwards, gripping a machete.
Light simply pulled out his knife again as a response. Sokka swiped the machete left, which Light managed to avoid. A foot crashed into Light's side, stunning him. Sokka sliced at Light, digging into his arm. Light let out a yell and pushed Sokka back with his foot.
"Ooh, that's gonna be sword tomorrow." Ryuk commented. Light rolled his eyes slightly.
"That was a machete, not a-" But he paused. Of course, Sokka had a sword. Light moved backwards and almost dived behind a tree. Ryuk looked at him in fascination. Light glanced at his watch. 40 seconds had passed. Sokka was still standing.
"Another alias!" Light blurted out. "Wait, no. The way he blurted it out. Sokka is his real name. I misspelled it. Two more tries."
"Well, Light. Do you want to give two more guesses or wait until you're 100% right?" Ryuk asked the boy, who was lost in thoughts.
"Don't worry. I have a plan. The avatar is not standing in Kira's way and neither will he!" He yelled. Suddenly, Sokka skidded in front of him. Light quickly walked backwards, out of lethal range.
"You have another weapon, Soh-ka?" Light asked. Sokka sighed slightly.
"That's not how you say-Ugh, nevermind. I do have an amazingly spacey space sword, thanks for asking!" Light watched with mild fascination. Sokka jumped towards Light and swung with the Meteorite Sword. Light dived to the side, narrowly avoiding a lethal strike.
"Gosh Sack-a, you're good with that thing."
"NO! It's Sokka! It's not that hard!" Light smirked. He was getting to him. A few more times should do it. Sokka rushed forwards again, slicing left, towards Light's neck. Once again, Light ducked under the swing.
He doesn't learn, does he? Light thought, jamming a knife into the side of his leg. Sokka screeched in agony and swung a punch above Light's head, obviously discombobulated. Sokka stumbled backwards, allowing Light time to stand up and brush hair out of his eyes.
Light raised his Death Note and laughed evilly, pulling out a pencil.
"Now, how do you spell your name again, Sow-ka?" Sokka groaned in pain and squeezed his knee. Light smirked.
"Boomerang...could you come back yet?" Sokka muttered, groaning. As if on command, the boomerang smashed into Light's hand, knocking the Death Note towards Sokka. He caught the boomerang and put it away as Light groaned. Sokka used his good leg to drag the Death Note towards him. He picked up the Death Note and threw it towards a tree.
As the notebook bounced off the tree, Sokka threw his machete at it. The machete dug right through the Death Note and stuck it to the tree. Sokka let out a laugh.
"Now you're out of weapons!" Sokka taunted, as the edges of Light's mouth curled upwards.
"Yes..." He muttered, reaching behind him. "How's your leg, Saw-ka?"
"That's not even close to my name!" Sokka shouted in response, readying his Meteorite Sword. Light scoffed and drew his hand back. A small pistol was resting in there. Sokka let out a yell and limped towards Light, who held the pistol up, but didn't fire, amused.
"What..." Sokka began, swinging at Light, who backed away. "is..." He thrusted his sword forward. Light twisted his body to the side, narrowly avoiding the sword. Light aimed the gun for Sokka's forehead.
"Bye, Soe-ka." He said. The Water Trible Warrior gasped and dived forwards, knocking both fighters to the ground. Light's gun slipped from his hands and bounced along the ground, out of his reach. Sokka scrambled to his feet, as did Light. Without warning, Light punched Sokka in the nose, sending him stumbling backwards. Allowing himself a pained groan, he looked up at Light, who was smiling.
"So. Sow-kka-" That did it. Sokka saw red.
"NO! NO! It's Sokka! SOKKA! S-O-K-K-A-!" Light's smile turned to an evil grin as he realised his mistake. Sokka clapped a hand to his mouth and let out a yell. Light started laughing, the type of laughing that reverbed through small rooms, one that sent chills down your spine.
Sokka watched in despair as Light did something with his watch.
"Wait! You don't have your book! Ha ha!" Light's smile, if it was possible, grew.
"I wouldn't say that, exactly." He responded, pulling out a pencil. Sokka gaped. Light began writing on what looked like his watch. But it wasn't. Light pulled out something from his watch and walked over to Sokka.
"Take it and read it." He said, dropping the thing on Sokka's leg. Curious, Sokka took it, a scrap piece of paper. On it were 5 letters that changed everything.
'Sokka'.
"40 seconds." Light told him, tapping his watch. Sokka slowly got to his feet, shaking with anger, determination and a little it of fright. He sighed and stared into Light's eyes, who didn't break eye contact. Sokka grabbed the Meteorite Sword.
"If I'm gonna go down, I want to at least cause some damage to you!" He shouted, slowly limping in Light's direction.
"What a fool." Light told himself, moving backwards. What was the point anymore? He was done. Wasn't he? Sokka was injured, he was hobbling over to Light.
"30 seconds!" Light informed him. Sokka nodded, but kept moving forwards. Light stared at him with a slight anger.
"You idiot. You thought you could stop Kira? I was too smart for you. Now you're story ends here." Sokka kept walking, seemingly ignoring Light. The boy felt his face grow hot, but he concealed his rage. Sokka was determined.
"Stop moving and accept it! Kira is the god of this world! You're nothing but history!"
"I know." Was all Sokka said in response. Light wanted to yell at him, attack him, but he had to be patient. After all, Sokka had the weapons and the skills. If Light attacked him they'd both end up dead.
"20 seconds! You're finished!"
"I guess I am."
"Stop that! Stop that!" Light repeated, almost screaming. Sokka was trying to go out with dignity. He had halved the distance between them. Unfortunately, Light was also defiant, and he stood still, silently daring him to come closer, which he did.
"Stop what? Walking? Can't a guy take a stroll?"
"NO! Stop doing that! Your finished! Kira has killed you! You're bleeding, you're name is in the Death Note! There is no way you can survive, so GIVE UP ALREADY!" Light wasn't used to someone defying him. He was supposed to be God! No-one defies God!
Sokka merely nodded. Light let out an angry groan.
"10 seconds! Ha! Time is ticking! Say your prayers!"
Silence. Sokka was still moving towards him, staring into Light's eyes.
"Okay."
"ARGH! Why can't you accept that?!" Light looked at his watch, 5 seconds.
"4..." Sokka kept walking towards him.
"3..." In a flash, Sokka grabbed Light's shirt and looked him in the eyes. He didn't strike, that was the thing confusing him the most.
"Thing is...I have accepted it..." Sokka said, trailing off. 2 seconds, the wait was almost unbearable.
"But you haven't." Time ran out. Sokka's heart gave out. He let out a breath and his grip on Light's shirt slackened. Smug, Light watched as Sokka fell on his back.
"The end." Light said simply as he crouched down and stared into Sokka's dying eyes. He watched as the light in his eyes, the light of life, faded away. Sokka let go of the sword, although it was hardly in his control anymore. Sokka let out one final breath and his finger gave one last twitch, until he moved no more. It wasn't all bad. He'd meet up with his mother and his sister again. He died a warrior.
"Heh, heh. Goodnight." Light muttered, standing tall and walking past his body.
K.O!
Conclusion[]
Boomstick: Woah-ho-ho! Could we call that brutal?
Wiz: While it was quite obvious that Sokka was much stronger and tougher than Light, that didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. All Light had to do was keep his distance, which his weapons certainly allowed for.
Boomstick: While Sokka was faster as well, Light didn't need those things to win. All he needed was Sokka's name. The question was: Could Light get it before Sokka could land a fatal blow?
Wiz: And the short answer is...yes. While Sokka was smart, Light was in a league of his own. Combine that with Sokka's general clumsiness and recklessness, it stands to say that Light could reasonably trick or manipulate Sokka into giving his name.
Boomstick: Hell, Light could outsmart FBI agents into giving their name or even writing other people's names into the Death Note. FBI even stands for the Federal Bureau of Investigation! And these guys must have four-year bachelor's degrees!
Wiz: So it's incredibly likely that Light would also be able to trick Sokka, who, while smart, is definitely not that smart. He's only 16 and has never gone to University in his life.
Boomstick: But I hear some people saying: "But the Death Note needs someone's full name and even we don't know Sokka's last name, so how could Light?"
Wiz: A reasonable question, and one that we had ourselves. But while many current Western societies use the first/middle/surname pattern, most, if not all ancient Eastern cultures (which Avatar is based on) do not use that sort of system and considering that Sokka comes from a Water Tribe with less than 100 people, he wouldn't need one and more than likely didn't get one.
Boomstick: But what about Toph, she has a last name.
Wiz: Again, a good point, but in those Eastern cultures, you only had a last name if you had something important to pass down. The Beifong's are a noble family and as such, would likely use last names, even if most do not.
Boomstick: And no, royal families do not use last names, as people could just refer to them as their title. As an example, Fire Lord Ozai, Prince Zuko, you see what we mean?
Wiz: But still, Sokka's creativity and arsenal kept him in the fight, but Light had enough tricks up his sleeve to keep him at bay.
Boomstick: Like the gun and knife! Oh man, Sokka didn't expect that. And his universe doesn't even have guns, so who would expect it?
Wiz: Remember how Sokka's boomerang was one of his only ranged weapons? Well, Light's gun is faster than that and is way more lethal. It would only take one well-placed shot to take him out.
Boomstick: Jeez. Also, Light's acting skills would be more than enough to throw off Sokka, and his planning skills meant he could come up with a quick plan. Sokka does plan things, but usually not in a spontaneous duel.
Wiz: Overall, Sokka's creativity, weapons and physicality kept him in the fight, but sometimes, brain is better than brawn.
Boomstick: We may have to Note this Death Battle down for later, for the next 'smart guy' battle.
Wiz: The winner is Light Yagami.
