Surly vs Rango is the season premiere and first What If? Death Battle of Season 1 by TheVoidofDrawings, starring Surly from The Nut Job series and Rango from his namesake series in a fight between two cocky and courageous animal heroes.
Description[]
Anyone can be a hero despite the origin and past, even if they're small animals who have done shameful and deluding acts, be it meddling in affairs for a selfish gain, or lying to others for you to look strong, in which these two have done before, but became the new heroes after foiling the hidden evil. Which of these two mischievous cavaliers will win?
Interlude[]
There would've been a static screen, until it would've started recording, with Sans getting out of the way and signaling Gumball that the episode began.
( Cue - DB Intro )
Gumball: -And when I'm president, I will make pigeons become- oh, we're live? Okay, spill it.
Mordecai: Surly - The crafty and thieving hero of Liberty Park.
Gumball: And Rango - The brave and comical sheriff of Dirt.
sans: as wiz and boomstick said in yoda vs king mickey, size doesn't matter if justice can be served. these two cocky and small animals have went on a long journey to find themselves, and in the end, they became chivalrous guardians. but which hero will win if they, say, collided in battle?
Sonic: Good question. That's why we made this. I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. And you better believe I'm the fastest thing alive with the flow of awesomeness! ...Oh yeah, and these guys are Mordecai, Gumball, and Sans.
Gumball: Yup, that's me!
sans: present.
Mordecai: And while Wiz and Boomstick are on vacay, we're your Death Battle hosts to stay-yay!
Surly[]
Surly Robs Death Battle of it's Nuts!
( I'm Breakin' In )
Mordecai: This whole story technically starts in a small city, in which we looked everywhere in the movies, but couldn't find any good info on this place's name. Anyways, this town has all sorts of unknown activity, some of which might be hidden crimes, or cheap ways to get money. The point is, you never know what happens next in this place.
Sonic: Great job, Mordo. You fully described almost every other comic book intro. Anyways, there was a small park that was called "Liberty Park", which in the past at one point, faced starvation levels when winter was near. Well, the reason for most of this trouble was control by a very controlling raccoon. His name was, well, 'Raccoon', and he was greedy and manipulative to high degrees, enough to where he had to be stopped.
Gumball: Sound familiar, politicians?
sans: well, this all just seems kinda... furry, am i right?
Mordecai: Ughhh....
Gumball: Hardy har har. I'm cracking up sooo much.
Sonic: Sarcasm. Back on topic, there was a man, no, a squirrel who was different from the crowd, and used his crafty skills to steal nuts and live outside the law. He wasn't their hero, he was the monster they needed... that didn't help em' out much. This little guy's name is 'Surly', and he was, at the time, and still is, a thief.
sans: in this dark and crime-ridden past, this dude had a really huge ego, alongside a dash of 'cynical' and 'selfish' here and there. all he craved was nuts and glory, using his kind and loyal friend, buddy, to assist him in his crimes by being his stunt-monkey.
Mordecai: In the middle of another one of his schemes, Andie, his soon-to-be love interest, and Grayson, the self-absorbed and clueless park hero, intervened before it was too late. While Andie tried to convince Surly to stop his crimes, Grayson tried to arrest him before being stopped by Andie. This completely backfired when Surly was too stubbornly rebellious to give up when he was so close.
Gumball: Surly attempted to pull his latest move, and failed due to the interference of others, causing a major hit that'll damage the rest of the story. For example, burning trees, gang rats, and even police! Man, is this movie screwed up.
Sonic: Let's just get to the 'burning trees' part, because this is where the journey fully takes effect. After accidentally setting a nut cart ablaze, it was shot from a windmill to the park's main tree, only for it to... well, blow up in a burst of flames.
sans: and then popcorn was pretty much raining from it. after they found out that surly himself was responsible, raccoon sentenced him to banishment. he was given trial after trial, so this made him reap what he's sown.
Mordecai: Once that happened, he went on this long chase through the city to try and survive. Once he layed his eyes on a nut store, as well as it's stock, he tried everything to sneak in and pull the biggest heist of his life. He's faced many forms of peril, such as the dog, Precious, that he soon befriended, Knuckles, Cardinal, and even Percy "King" Dimplewade himself.
As soon as he finished, him and the other three began to chuckle at King's last name, "Dimplewade". It turned into full-blown laughter, until they stopped, knowing that they had to get back to business.
Gumball: Heh, Dimplewade. Anyways, after an alliance with the rest of the Park, he had to handle King and Raccoon at the same time, as he succeeds with his plan and overthrows the fur-rag! ...Then what happens?
Sonic: Long story short, him and Andie got together as he went on another sappy sequel with BAD reviews. Like father, like son. But we're not here for criticizing, we're here for stats, and frankly, Surly has what it takes to put up a fight, with good intelligence too.
( Let's Get Nuts )
Mordecai: But first, let's focus on physicals. Because surprisingly, Surly has what it takes to hold his own in a fight.
sans: i feel like i should say this before we move on.
Gumball: Go ahead.
sans: thanks. surly here has the physique of your average squirrel, but is much better, kinda like the other animals. he may be this way, but has much better stats than his fellow park inhabitants.
Mordecai: Necessary. Now then, we'll go over each category with enough detail to fill these pages. Sonic, you describe strength.
Sonic: All right. Surly's first feats were constantly being able to hurt Buddy, be it by unknowingly knocking him off of a nut cart, push him down a power line, and knock him out with a metal spoon to where said utensil gets bent and messed up, all with ease or force. Buddy, his rat friend, can take hits from rat gangs, who should be able to have the natural strength of dirty rats.
Gumball: He can also harm these rats, all of which have survived flowerpots falling onto them. Wait, before I read this, what the heck does 'psi' mean?
sans: it means 'pounds per square inch', bucko. and technically, these flowerpots wield 10 psi.
Mordecai: Surly here also dragged Mole, a full-grown, well, mole, with ease all the way to a light. Adult Moles can weigh anywhere from .25 to 7.5 ounces, but we'll assume, by size, that he's in that specific range.
Sonic: He's also able to trade blows with Cardinal, who survived getting hit by a speeding car, and if I have to talk about another character with the same name as their species one more god-forsaken time.
Gumball: I feel ya. Anyways, while having strength feats that mostly involve other people, there's only two feats that he himself can actually pull off.
sans: the kid's right. the first one is that he can simply pull a metal pipe off of his head after it was stuck, and the average one weighs 60,000 psi! ...wow, that's impressive for someone his size.
Mordecai: You could say that again. Anyways, the second one can mean that his strength mirrors his durability, and it's him bashing his head against a brick wall, only to cause it to collapse moments afterwards. And since he can be able to harm himself, this fact is actually pretty consistent.
Sonic: And now seems like a good time to move onto durability. First, we should mention that he survived being hit by bricks; once by one immediately after being flung at a truck, and the next by multiple after bashing his head on a brick wall.
Gumball: He was also electrocuted so hard that he was bright enough to be seen in the dark night, only to be unscathed in the next scene.
sans: he can also tolerate his tail being caught in a mouse trap and falling down a staircase, both of which he could still run and process afterwards with no problem at all.
Mordecai: He also survived being blasted into a wall after a basement, tunnel, and reinforced steel-leveling explosion, while also being crushed by a metal door.
Sonic: He can also survive being slammed onto the road, and live through being splashed down a huge waterfall. While this left him unconscious, he still woke up after a while like nothing happened.
Gumball: Doesn't that kill the average squirrel?
sans: yep. an example is when my bro lost his 'rat friend'. why? he left him in waterfall.
Mordecai: I- ...I won't ask.
Sonic: But his MOST important durability feat is tanking a stick of dynamite up close and personal, while being completely spotless afterwards. Let's calculate here.
Gumball: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Math? There's no way I'm getting the school treatment out of this!-
sans: a stick of dynamite is usually about 8 inches long, and about 1 1⁄4 inches in diameter, with a weight of about 190 grams, or a half of a troy pound. so technically, a stick of dynamite wields 1 megajoule of energy. or simply 0.00024 tons of tnt.
Gumball: Boring.
Mordecai: Whatever. Back on topic, he can also survive being pushed around by humans, be it being kicked around by them, or being thrown out a glass window by one, only to land painfully in a trash can. As per usual, he was completely unharmed.
Sonic: He can also scale to Raccoon, who survived Knuckles, a full-grown adult, falling on top of him!
Gumball: Shouldn't he be able to scale to Grayson, who lethally tanked a giant tree-worth explosion of fire being in the middle of the blast zone, and coming out with no signs of harm?
sans: i think so, yeah.
Mordecai: Surly is also surprisingly fast, while having an average run of 20 miles per hour, since he can outpace humans, as the fastest one could go at 37.58 miles per hour, Precious, a female bulldog who should be able to go at 17 miles per hour, and speeding vehicles, which can go at 269.86 miles per hour!
Sonic: He also has good reflexes, as he was able to react to human movements, and easily leap over a bridge.
Gumball: This guy also has a good stamina count, as shown in the first movie every time he got hurt, it didn't matter because he always got back up to try another tactic. This means that his tenacity or whatever supports this factor!
sans: he also has enough experience for a brawl, as we mentioned during his other attributes, like with fighting rat gangs or more fierce animals, and pulling huge heist, like the one he pulled in his debut and more.
Mordecai: But his main shtick you shouldn't underestimate is his intelligence.
Sonic: Mordo's right. This guy, unlike the other animals, is remarkably cunning, enough to where Andie stated "you have all the drive and ability to help the park", and Grayson said "very crafty, Surly".
Gumball: Maybe it's because he's a gullible pea-brain.
Sonic: You could say that.
sans: he's smart enough to make most objects useful, or in other words, use the environment to his advantage, as seen in most parts of the movie.
Mordecai: He can also make some good schemes that only went wrong due to others, making him very tactical, as seen when he busts and interrogates Mole, as well as Raccoon.
Sonic: While his arrogance and anger sometimes got in the way, since he's matured, it's not that bad anymore. This key factor has earned him the spot of a hero.
Gumball: Pfft. Name one moment he shined in a mannerism like that.
sans: at the end of the first movie, and most of the sequel, which we won't be using.
Mordecai: When it comes to an arsenal, Surly here is packed to the teeth. That's a surprise.
Sonic: His smarts in using his surroundings can offer him some good weapons, sure, but he has some of his own in case that doesn't turn out well.
Gumball: His top piece of storing his tools is his... backpack, which he made out of a box of cards, and used a rubber band for strands, or whatever you call it.
sans: yeah, while it's as durable as your average object, it stores a lot of painful things.
Mordecai: Such as a pair of scissors, a paperclip, a binky, a spoon, and more things that we haven't picked up on.
Sonic: His best bet at all is the dog whistle. It's as strong as metal, but... it's just a dog whistle.
Gumball: Yeah, it can only be heard by dogs, cats, horses- ...cats too?
sans: let's test that theory.
Mordecai: Gladly.
The skinny blue jay would've got out a dog whistle of its own, and blew on it enough for Gumball to hear and painfully meow at as he quivers. Sonic told him to stop as he started to hear it, as Mordecai did too, only for him to stop as everyone covered their ears in terror, except for Sans.
sans: um... you guys okay?
Gumball: What does it look like to you?
Sonic: Ugh... can we continue now?
Mordecai: Well... there isn't much left to explain, so now we have to finally hop onto the weaknesses.
Sonic: Cool. For starters, while he matured, as we said before, he's still a bit crude, greedy and stubborn. The guy can't help it, and will resort to violence if necessary despite his innocence.
Gumball: He's also really naïve and cocky to the point where he brags about himself and underestimates his opponents.
sans: not to mention that he's lazy to the point where he slacks off whenever he can, and won't bother to do work unless his friends' lives are involved.
Mordecai: He'll also resort to cowardice whenever he tries to wing it while in a ditch, but will bother to make as much prep time as possible.
Sonic: Despite these weaknesses, this guy always pulls through his problems and saves the park animals from trouble.
Gumball: You know what that means. Big or small, never tussle with this squirrel, because there's a high chance you're going down.
sans: i can take a break now, right?
(Look, I'm independent, and that means looking out for number one. I suggest you do the same if you wanna survive. Got that?)
Rango[]
Rango Protects the Town from Death Battle!
( Rango Suite )
Gumball: What's this guy's name? Rampid? Ranch? Randy? Oh wait, Rampage? Ugh, that movie was so dull that even the big yeti-monkey looked mad that he starred in another Hollywood failure. AND I had to get my eyes polished. See?
Sonic: I'm not looking into your cartoony eyes.
sans: um, guys, we're recording.
Mordecai: Ah. Okay, should we cut this?
Gumball: No! Warner Bros. needs to know the truth, because it seems like the voice of the people isn't enough! So they need to hear from the awesome people, er... person. Me.
Sonic: In your dreams. I should speak out. People recognize me more than you, and plus, your last two seasons sucked, and your movie will probably be even worse.
Gumball: 06' asks "are you sure" for 1, and for 2, you're not getting a new game until 2022, so who's laughing now?
Sonic: ...Touché, kid.
Mordecai: Enough! Ugh, can we PLEASE get on with Rango's analysis?
Gumball: Oh, that's his name? Ah.
Mordecai: Ugh... Sans, start us off.
sans: zzzz....
Mordecai: ...Okay, never mind. On his endless road, a lonely chameleon finds himself in his home tank as he travels, "acting" as if his life was an endless movie, alongside inanimate objects he finds animate. Yeah, being by yourself in a container for who-knows-how-long can make you a little crazy.
Sonic: Once, in between another one of his plays, he realizes his place in the world, and asks himself "Who am I?". You see, he had no identical name at the time, and not even we know. He was spending his whole life searching for purpose, finding himself. He was an empty canvas, a blank photo, he had no identity.
sans: huh? oh yeah, my turn. after a pep talk towards himself, he finds that he's missing action in his life, the conflict in order to see who he is. luckily, the world gave him a chance in the style of a slap in the face. he fell out of his cage after a car collision, landing on the harsh road with a sense of cluelessness. surprise, surprise, he was stranded in the desert with no way out.
Gumball: This guy found roadkill that was still alive, an old armadillo with a beard and stuff, who in which told him that to find water, that he had to find the town "Dirt". And so, he walked through the desert, where he encountered a ginormous hawk that chased him down. He's lucky that it took the dirty, cursing frog, or else his tail was screwed.
Sonic: After his survival from the big bird, he slept in a tunnel that soon sprouted water, in which he met "Beans", a female and crude lover of fruit, and the name and threats sure made him toot.
Mordecai: Snrk-
sans: pfft. nice one.
Gumball: Ugh, that has to be the ugly frog's sister. Never knew she had a face like Kim McGuire, and you do not wanna know what she looks like.
Mordecai: A-Anyways, once he got arrived at the western city, he encountered many strange animals, stumbled upon a bar to begin his spree of lies, killed the hawk, caught an evil family who stole the water after his clueless mistake, and fought off Rattlesnake Jake and Mayor John after being exposed and a pep talk by The Spirit Of The West.
Gumball: Oh my gosh, it's the western legend himself! Clint Eastwood!
Sonic: Quit fanboying, Gumball, we're done with his life story, so we need move onto his physicals.
( Rango Theme Song )
sans: boy howdy, here we go.
Mordecai: We're guessing that he has the similar strength of Surly at his weakest for his power. But as we researched, we found out that there's more to his feats than we thought.
Sonic: Yeah, for example, in strength, when push comes to shove, he can hold his own. He's simply strong enough to knock out an adult animal!
Gumball: And when he had his head stuck in a smiley-face antenna head, he simply broke it apart as he crashed into a glass window.
sans: he can easily smash open small wooden crates and barrels with a single punch.
Mordecai: He can do a powerful ground pound that can cause a gust of wind and bash into enemies.
Sonic: He can knock away enemies with simple punches too, such as animals who are much bigger than him.
Gumball: He can swing a golf club his size at a pill bug so hard that it can knock down an entire bridge.
sans: with not that much to explain for that, he's more of a damage disher than a damage giver for many reasons, so now seems like a good time to move onto durability.
Mordecai: Yeah, agreed. He did live through having his head smashed in the smiley-face antenna head, because a move like that for someone as small as him could knock him out.
Sonic: He can shrug off a slap from a disfigured doll, which seems to be a Barbie or somethin'. Wow, what a way to express adult humor, Paramount.
Gumball: Yeesh. Anyways, he also survived falling out of a fish tank, while landing on the hard road... as he was on a piece of glass.
sans: still counts as a good feat, 'cause glass hurts, more so the road. wanna know why?
Gumball: Nah, I've already experienced it. You can tell by this burnt mark.
The blue feline pulled down his pants and underwear, revealing his squelched-up rear with burnt marks on it, as the others staring groaned in disgust at the sight of it. Afterwards, Sans poured bleach in his eye-sockets as Gumball pulled up his pants.
Mordecai: Ah, sick!
Sonic: Never do that again.
Gumball: Yeah, alright.
sans: that's much better.
Mordecai: Back on topic to erase that from our minds, he can tolerate being smashed onto vehicle after vehicle as well.
Sonic: He can also survived being dropped onto the ground by a large hawk inside a large and empty glass bottle.
Gumball: And the last durability feat would be living through being splashed away by water.
sans: let's move onto speed.
Mordecai: Well, he can outrun the hawk multiple times, but that's pretty much it.
Sonic: With reflexes, his acting and cowardice pay off, because as he can react to the speeds of a hawk, he can also move just like an action star.
sans: yep.
Mordecai: His stamina's pretty good too, since he can keep on going after receiving brutal punishment.
Sonic: And then there's intelligence, a place where he truly shines... somewhat.
Gumball: Yeah, he's able to come up with guesses, schemes and solutions that sound completely crazy, but have never failed to work itself out in the end.
sans: but while he's very analytical, his moments of idiocy and cluelessness make this factor a double-sided coin. an example? the entire movie should do.
Mordecai: Experience helps this out though. He's been through a lot of gruesome things throughout the story, and uses that plus his knowledge on "acting" alongside different genres, to make his way through solving crime.
Sonic: Pfft, yeah, western crime.
Gumball: As cool as this sounds...
sans: keep dreaming, kid.
Mordecai: Equipment, something that Rango here doesn't sell short from. Surprisingly.
Sonic: His first two tools are a bottle of cactus juice and a cigar. He can resist cactus juice and drink it with no problem, and this liquid killed a fly instantly after it drank it. It's shown that after eating a cigarette and downing it with this can cause him to breathe fire. Once, and only once.
Gumball: He also has a gun. Well, two to be exact, and the first one is a... 'Colt Single Action Army Revolver'. What the heck is that?
sans: well, something you can't explain in your show unless it's adult humor. but this gun is normal, as well as it's bullets, considering that they could tear through ropes and licorice.
Mordecai: He also has an assortment of tools for prospecting, but can serve as good weapons. Though he gave them away, and was only seen with them for a few seconds, we'll be generous.
Sonic: So there's a shovel, pickaxe, benadryl, loofah, assorted snacks and puzzle books. These can be used for multiple purposes, all of which I'm too lazy to point out.
Gumball: Not it. Anyways, the second one is a corn-fed, water-cooled, organically engineered shooter with dual-action pump, whatever that means.
sans: he also has a golf club. while it may be his size, it's still powerful enough to serve as a useful weapon.
Gumball: Ooh! Ooh! Could we try the weird gun with the corn water and stuff?
Sonic: Sure, kid. Knock yourself out.
Gumball: Ooooh...
As Gumball got the unique gun out from the drawer behind him to check it out and destroy things outside in the test room, which can be seen on the screen behind them.
sans: anyways, this gun can shoot out what we guessed to be quick-firing and hard-hitting... pieces of corn. and while they don't have the piercing power of a normal bullet, it hits hard enough to knock down enemies.
Mordecai: Is... is someone gonna stop Gumball out there?
Sonic: Eh, he's fine.
Suddenly, the unique gun blows up on Gumball after he messed with it too much. In surprise, the other three look at the screen behind and back with a scared look, until they snap out of it.
Mordecai: ...You were saying? Why'd you give him that?!
Sonic: So we can finish the rest of the analysis.
sans: ...ah. well that backfired, because there he is.
After the smoke cleared on the screen, it went back into the DB icon state as Gumball rolled in on a hospital bed with casts and bruises.
Gumball: Ouch... not falling for that again. Where were we?
sans: well, with the weapons out of the way, there comes the weaknesses.
Mordecai: Simple. From beginning to end, he's shown to be rather cocky and cowardly to high, high, high degrees. He runs away from almost every problem since he can't always defend himself, and his ego makes it worse on many occasions, doing more than making him openly sensitive.
Sonic: He also goofs around a lot, and while he uses a lot of big words, he does this more than he should, thus being able to cause high issues.
Gumball: Like Surly, he's sometimes lazy, but unlike him, he's more clumsy and clueless. Despite his good intelligence and stuff, he's prone to letting this get the best of him.
sans: yeah, he's also reluctant to killing at all times, mostly because of his cowardice, but still.
Mordecai: These weaknesses can throw him down, but that doesn't matter since he always gets back up.
Sonic: Yeah, he'll never stop doing what he does, because that's just who he is. He is... Rango.
Gumball: Doesn't he die?
sans: even if most of the movie's stuff revolves around death, ...well, i dunno.
(You might say I'm from everywhere there's trouble brewing and hell to be raised. You might say I'm what hell's already raised up. Name's... Rango.)
Showtime[]
Mordecai: Okay, analysis!
sans: check.
Mordecai: Research!
sans: check.
Mordecai: The battle!
sans: check.
Mordecai: The popcorn and butter?
Sonic: Already got everything in the microsecond you started talking.
Mordecai: Aw, yeah-yuh! Time to end this with an epic battle!
Gumball: But not just any battle! It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!!!!
Pre-Battle Poll[]
Who are you rooting for/betting on?
Death Battle[]
( Fantasy Music )
"Ah, welcome. Sit down, because I have a tale to tell you about a battle between two animalistic heroes, and how their fate impacted their great way of life. Please, birds, take it from here."
As he finished his part, the band of Mariachi birds flew out of the shadows and onto a chair to help tell the rest of the story. "Thank you, amigo", the lead bird said. "Now then, with the wonderous fiction music in the background playing along, we shall begin our bizarre tale." With that being said, the first narrator wanted to insure that everyone was prepared.
"So with that said, gather your necessary consumables and spare pairs of undergarments as we begin the legendary tale of the amazing tournament..."
In the field of vision of the two combatants, it was all dark and dim, with nothing able to be seen. They woke up on what seems to be a bed in a cave-like room with torches so miniature that it's like they taped trick candles to the walls. After a while of checking if they could move, the two, in separate places, got out of their resting places and walked out of the stone room, only to find a rocky hallway that leads to a nearby light.
Thinking that the brightness before them was a possible exit, they slowly jogged over and across the insects, dirty walls and unstable stature, only to bump into metal bars that block their ways. After getting back up to hold onto them and see what was outside, they found a crowd above them, alongside some more spotlights above. This was a stadium, and it was clear after a while that they were the contenders.
( Colosseum Music )
There was an entire crowd of animals cheering for them, each being a different breed. Most of them are from the movies, but some are just anonymous. In the throne above lied the person running this melee: the Greek king known as 'Caesar', who was a very self-entitled Alpine swift. Have fun googling that species up.
"Ladies, gentlemen and poisonous reptiles", he says to his audience. "I am the almighty Caesar, and I welcome you to my amazing colosseum, with me as your host!" The anthropomorphic animals cheered for him, as he bowed in self-righteousness, with his fellow bird guards standing by looking emotionless, but keeping watch.
But while he was watching the crowd, the two victims rattled the cages, and it caused the royal narcissist to remember the main task at hand. "A-Ah, yes", he anxiously peeped. "Let us introduce the fighters. Today, I have brung to you the legendary defenders of the two perilous cities 'Liberty Park' and 'Dirt'!" After the gate on the left slowly rised, he said, "On this side exists the presence of a unique rodent with a palette of purple, a redeemed thief, he is... Surly!"
Once he finished his sentence, the gate has opened all the way, as the valiant rogue himself rushes out in worry, looking around, but kept his guard up and showed no fear. "What the- What's going on?!", he asked. As soon as this happened, the self-proclaimed ruler replied, "I'm glad you asked, Mr. Surly."
The gate on the other side began to rise, he started to introduce who was behind it. "On this side, we see an unlikely defender, or a zero-turned-hero if you prefer. He is the quirky sheriff in the smoking-hot desert, he is the clever chameleon, he is... Rango!" Right when he finished his sentence, the green and abnormal reptile stepped out of the darkness in fashion, unlike his opponent. He noticed everyone, and said, "Huh? How did I end up in this broken, man-made tower?"
He stopped once he faced Surly, as he did the same. While the squirrel was still confused, the friendly gunslinger didn't hesitate to greet him. "Hey there, sir. The name's Rango, a man who needs no introduction. What about you?". Despite having no idea why he looked like that, he shook his hand in kindness. "Well, big-eyes, I'm Surly", he replies. "Another man who needs no introduction, like you." "B-Big eyes?-", the western-themed lizard stuttered, before being interrupted by Caesar.
"Now enough talk! FIGHT, YOU SAVAGES!!!!", he cries, as the two stare at him in awe. They never knew they had to fight against each other.
( Arena Conflict )
"Fight?!", they both ask, as Surly comments, "Hold on, I didn't sign up for this!". "Join the club, amigo", Rango replies. Tired of waiting, the man above snapped his fingers and sent soldiers down to "motivate them". Sadly, this guy doesn't know the difference between motivation and forceful authority, as they forced them to brawl as they came out of their cages with spears. Afraid, the cocky reptile tries to negotiate with his rodent friend to escape.
"Um, Surly, was it? How's about we work together, because on a 1-on-1 type of deal, we would definitely lose", he states. Sadly, his words meant nothing as the purple mammal gets in a fighting stance, ready to fight for what he loves. "Sorry, man, but I have a life to get back to, and mouths to feed. I can't allow a little brawl to get in the way, now let's rumble!", he says. Once that was said, after a dodge from a punch or two, he backed up in cowardice.
There was no way out, so all he could do was play along in the king's sadistic game. "Okay then, if you insist!", he replies while in a western stance as he snarls in seriousness. "I guess your name does stand for all sorts of mischief and sly business." As the gong was banged, the two charged at each other. It was time to go. It was time to brawl. It was time to...
FIGHT!!!
( Tournament Theme )
Surly would've been the one to throw the first hit, obviously, while Rango dodges and screams before being roundhouse kicked in the face to where his pupils circulate. After regaining his focus, he uppercuts the furry squirrel and throws a quick jab to knock him down, but didn't expect the fact that he'd backflip from the ground and land safely.
After that, he would've gulped as he tried to loose-punch him again, only for him to dodge and punch at his stomach, pushing him back as he dropkicks him to the wall. He grabbed his skinny throat to chokeslam him before the town sheriff throws Surly down with him to jump off of his stomach.
The purple squirrel got up and hiccupped with a groan as he joked, "Good thing I had a light lunch...", before getting kicked in the knee to fall down, not expecting a kick in the cheek to make him drool as he got on his hands to cough before getting up and front-flipping away, twirling in mid-air and landing on his feet.
When that statement was said and done, Rango came dashing forward head-first, as Surly grabs his head and redirects him into the wall, only for him to be punched in the face when the comedic savior retaliates. Dizziness hit like a bullet, but it stopped when the thieving protector regained sense to axe kick his foe.
Rango was down, but he wasn't out. He got right up to pull a punch-punch-kick combo on the mischievous opponent, following up with a hook right into his gut, causing him to be stunned. A perfect opening for an attack, but overconfidence consumed. "Give up now, hombre?", the cowboy animal says. "You have no chance of winning against Sheriff Rango."
As he was talking, an unexpected body-slam inflicted upon him, being crushed under the weight of Surly, who just got up, and was furious at him. "Wanna recheck that statement, ugly?", he teases, holding him down, which didn't last long as Rango got right back up to backhand his rodent foe, as he slides back and somersaults over to the side.
"Gee, you're an acrobatic one", the cocky lizard says. "Too bad for you. I am more highly sophisticated in martial arts training than your vermin self-", with his sentence being interrupted by him trying to jump and land on his hands before falling chin-first. "Ouch...", he peeps, as Surly taunts, "You had no training or anything, did you, loose-lips?", while Rango growls and gets up to knee him in his stomach.
"AGH!", he winces. "What's with the stomach-shots, man?!" While he could, the green hero chin-checked and head-butted him, while he's dizzy in place, with Rango waiting for the next move. "Okay, that's it!", he yells, before biting the reptile's arm, leaving him to yelp in pain, "Aaa- AHHH!!!". "No more Mr. Nice Guy, scales!", Surly barks, only for Rango to sting him in the eye with his tongue, as the nut-cart thief groans in disgust.
Wiping it off, he comes speeding back at his reptilian foe, and too fast to react as well. All he could do was run away, but to no avail, he was caught and strangled. Running out of breath and desperate for survival, he gets out his revolver and shoots at Surly, who runs back and lets go, leaving Rango with a serious face on.
"Hey, hey, who let this doof have a gun?!", the agile rodent complains. "Why can't I have a weapon? I'm practically defenseless!" This gave the king an idea as he apologizes. "Ah, yes, I-I apologize, sir. After all, we need more violence!", he says with the crowd behind him cheering, and some people yelling stuff like, "Rip out his guts!" or "Knock em' dead!".
"Vi- what now?", the clumsy chameleon questions, as Surly catches his back-pack of weapons from above, putting it on and getting out scissors. Rango gulped as he watched with his hands up, reaching in his packet behind his back for something useful. "Give up", Surly growls while his timid foe gets out a golf club and knocks the scissors back. "How about you, eh partner?", he taunts. "Believe me, you should know when you're beat."
Surly shook his head in disregard as he tries to clip the golf club and swing him away, as Rango gets out a pill bug and throws it at him, causing him to yelp in pain and rub his eye, causing the scissors to let go. While he wasn't looking, the quirky cowboy caught the pill bug to put it on the ground and punt it over to the infamous squirrel, causing him to be knocked down.
May I remind you, a swing like that knocked down a bridge, but Surly faced worse. That son of a gun got right back up, and got out his scissors again. While that happened, the Mariachi birds appeared, perching somewhere and playing their instruments, being on-key with the song.
"As our heroes continue to face off in an epic battle....", the lead owl narrates. "...they learn that something just isn't right with the royalty abo-", with his sentence being interrupted by a rock flinging at his face, as the birds stop too to comfort him. "Ow! Dios mío, who threw that?!", he yells, with it being the king, "Silence, you peasants!"
Cutting back to the main fight, Surly and Rango were wrestling, with the park-defender throwing his skinny foe around like a ragdoll so far, but it didn't last long when the hat-attired soldier slammed him down. After a while, the violet virtue got up to give his western foe the same treatment with his tail, but it backfired when the legendary gunslinger grabbed it to swing him at a wall.
"Time for some paliza intensa!", Rango comments in spanish, as his rodent rival asks, "What the- is that fancy?", before being brutally beaten to the ground, at least before he got something useful out of his backpack: a paperclip. How is it useful? Poking him in the eye of course. "Youch!", he cries. "Why'd you do that?" "Why'd you not defend yourself?", the fur-coated rascal snarks, bicycle kicking him and suplexing him with his tail in the fashion of a backflip to land on his feet.
The overconfident ophidian groaned in pain, but it didn't last long when he got out his gun again to shoot at Surly, who ran away just in time to dodge, though that was just lucky of him, because Rango's aim wasn't good at the time, and it didn't help with the fact he was still kind of dizzy. "Ugh... I'll get you", he groans. "I just need a sec-", with his sentence being interrupted by the bullets falling out of the magazine of his revolver.
Seeing this as an opportunity, he rushes towards him with a twig he found in his backpack, while his lime-colored opponent tried to put the bullets back in. "Discúlpeme por un momento, por favor!", he cries, with the smarter one questioning, "The heck? Wow, this guy does NOT know how to handle that, does he?".
The purple-hued survivor hatched an idea once he realized one key thing the sheriff has shown throughout the entire fight: "He doesn't seem to be that smart". Shifting from running to walking, he gets next to him and helps him set up his gun. "Huh, thanks, compadre", Rango credits, with him stopping once he realizes what he was trying to do.
Sadly, it was too late, because Surly already had the gun aimed right at him. He had experience with them, and since it was his size to handle, the tides have turned. "Whoa- hey! Easy there...", he whimpers. "Let's not do something we won't regret", with the clever, furry mammal replying, "Won't regret? You tried to shoot me first, small-pupils!". "You WANTED to fight!", Rango points out, with the nut-stealer griping, "Hey, it wasn't my idea to be in a colosseum!".
"Enough of this nonsense!", the reptilian yells, pouncing onto him, with him shooting at the sky on accident since that move caused him to miss. He then begins to beat him down, and brags, "I am a tactical genius!", while simultaneously punching him in the face. After a while, he bit his hand again, causing him to yelp in pain before jumping to dropkick him into the wall.
"Yeesh, this guy is rough", Surly says in his mind. "If I wanna live another day, I need to think of something!" He decided to rush around him, causing him to shoot at him a few times, miss every shot, and get dizzy after trying to keep track of his much faster opponent. After a while, Surly took his chance to air kick him down and slam him onto the ground by his leg, causing him to almost get knocked out.
The little sheriff resisted, and had to endure more of this until Surly eventually tires out. "Alright, make your move", he sternly gripes, with the tough rodent saying, "Gladly", and unleashing a two-hit jab to his face, one punch to his stomach, turning into an uppercut to the chin, and a kick into the gut that caused him to be knocked into the wall.
With him only having one bullet left after checking, he takes his shot at his herbivore opponent, which goes across his face to make a cut, knock off from surface onto surface, accidentally killing a few people in the audience, and still bouncing around. With scared families above ducking and hiding for cover, the two below did the same, as the king smiles in his protected throne.
It stopped once it blasted into some ropes, and finally into the wall, with the two heroes sighing in relief. But those ropes were holding up spotlights, and they realized that when clunking was heard above, looking up with terrified faces. As they fell, they screamed in panic and ran around to try and avoid being crushed.
They fell, one after one, and frankly, this king was so pompous and fashionable that multiple were put up. He was laughing as this happened, as well as his guards, but karma bit them when one smashed onto the feathered "ruler". He winced as the two crusaders of good were still trying to evade the falling spotlights, with Rango being practically crushed by one.
"AGH!", he screams, as Surly walks up to him and laughs at the fact he's crushed, but ironically, he was crushed as well, entirely. After a while though, the sheriff got up and pushed the spotlight off of him. He's faced worse. He looked at his fallen foe, or at least the spotlight that crushed him. It was finally over. He won.
"Heh, karma's one tricky, little boomerang", he says. "If you ask me, you had this coming." Walking away from his fallen foe and looking at everyone, the chameleon laughed in victory.
Though afterwards, he heard rustling below him. This wasn't finished, and his terrified expression said it all. Pushing the spotlight off of him with cuts and bruises all over, Surly was pissed off. Big time. Slowly turning around, Rango says, "Hehehe- oh...". "No hard feelings, right, compadre?" He was wrong, because as he was about to try and hit him, the pallete-changeable lizard tried to trick him.
"Hey! A nut cart!", he gasps while pointing behind him, with the squirrel looking behind him, but back forward to find that his foe wasn't there. Luckily, he found Rango trying to climb up a wall, pleading the guards to set him free. "Let me out! This guy's a psychopath!", he cries, with the first guard replying, "Sorry, cowboy. Arena policy.", and kicking him down below in front of his furry enemy, who is visibly deadpan.
( Lizard for Lunch )
After that short moment, the cowboy's cowardly instincts activated as he ran like never before, with his rodent foe chasing him down around the arena in circles. "Whoa, whoa, he- hey, let's talk about this!", he pleads, as the angered violet rogue yells, "YOU'RE DEAD, COWARD!", not backing down.
At the moment he caught him, something fell out of Rango's pocket, and that was a pack of assorted snacks. As a last resort, and with Surly confused out of his mind, he splashed all of the snacks inside, with some nuts getting stuck in the squirrel's mouth. "Mmm...", he says. "Are these nuts?" While off guard, the cocky chameleon knocked him into the wall as he slid down.
While he was getting up, the purple rodent caught a metal spoon that fell from a guard's hand to attempt knocking the lime oaf down, failing as he dodges to scissor kick him back. After planning another kick, Surly would block with the steel-crafted utensil and knock his reptilian foe into the wall, only for him to rise in a dizzy mannerism.
"Yee-hawwoo....", he groans. "He- hey... hah, I'm seeing stars..." He waddled around him, until the clumsy cowboy backhands some sense into him with a deadpan face. Frankly, by 'knocking some sense into him', I mean he literally knocked him down, but it didn't last long when he got out a shovel just his size to fight on par with his rodent enemy.
It was parrying and more parrying, attacks clashing and coming into blows with each other. With some lucky shots here and there, Rango's shovel was battered out of his grasp, with Surly having a smug face. Desperate to improvise, the desert inhabitant tried to kick him, while accidentally shooting for every man's weak spot: the balls. Sinking to his knees and covering his privates while wincing in pain, the heroic thief was truly hurt, with the gunslinger mourning.
( The Chase Begins )
"Oh- youch...", he says. "I-I didn't mean to hit there..." Absurdly angry, Surly griped, "Okay... now it just got personal!" After that and with a sincerely pissed off glare, he got out his dog whistle, with Rango as confused like never before. "Why do you have a large whistle there in yer grasp?", he questions, with his answer being a loud and absurdly annoying noise that was at a frequency so high that the entire crowd above covered their ears, as well as the green zero-turned-hero himself.
After he stopped, the violet rogue began to whack his dry-skinned target away into the wall, leaving a large crack behind him as he slips down with a dazed look. As he walks up to him and readies up his arms to smash his head in, the helpless sheriff desperately thinks of what to do.
In an orderly fashion, he got out his gun and aimed it at Surly, who lits up in fear. "Whoa- hey!", he yelps. "Let's just take this one step at a time..." He was forced to get down on the floor as Rango aims it at him, tables turned. While the rodent was scared, the hat-dawning legend deeply and heroically said, "Nobody tango's with the Rango." He pulled the trigger, and nothing happened. Nothing but a spark.
Surprised, he tries to fire again and again. Nothing. He muttered, "Come on, you metal contraption-!", as he fearfully tried to fix it, stopping once he pulled back the magazine and saw no bullets. With a shocked, sarcastic chuckle, he simply threw it at the fuzzy mammal and ran off to try and think of something, while of course being chased again.
After a while, Rango did a dropkick right into Surly's gut, causing him to fall on his rear. Getting up to sucker-punch his hat-dawning rival, the purple rogue choke-slammed him into the wall so he could knee him into it. Once that happened, the legendary lizard elbowed his rodent enemy away to break free and roundhouse him in the face.
Attempting to strangle him, Surly would grab his arms to slam him into the ground to where the poor chameleon's arms have a straining pain. As he gets up to knock him in the gut and knock him back, the violet, redeemed hero pulled a brick out of the wall to throw at Rango. He tried to run away, but it smashed his leg in, causing him to fall and scream in terror.
While the angered squirrel was getting a few more bricks out to throw at him, Rango grabbed ahold of his corn-fed, water-cooled, organically engineered shooter with dual-action pump and shot at a brick flying towards him, causing it to dismember and dissolve. His enemy was surprised, with his furry tail wiggling a little bit, but snapped out of it and ran towards him to hit him with a brick.
The lime legend got up quickly to shoot him in the face, with him shaking his head to resist as he punched him in the face, not expecting to be shot again as he was. He tried smashing him back in the face with a brick himself, but the green reptile was kicked into the wall and fell through. He got up slowly to tackle Surly, as everything started to rumble.
The environment started to shake and slowly fall apart, with people and families evacuating, screaming and doing everything else a sane person would do when you're in a crumbling building. As expected, the "king" wasn't happy. "No, come back!", he cries. "Why are you leaving whilst an epic battle is commencing!"
"That isn't greek!", Rango snarks, as Surly comments, "Shut up." Angered and about to yell, Caesar bursted up and out of his throne, causing everything to shake more as he quickly sits back down with a terrified expression. In a cinematic mannerism while one thing after another fell, they hopped onto everything to try and attack each other.
Once they were close, Surly roundhoused Rango in the face, leaving the western sheriff to kick him in the gut, while of course shooting him in the leg, causing him to fall. Unexpectedly, the heroic squirrel climbed back up to chokeslam him down, only for them to be separated again by an incoming spotlight.
The prideful rodent was the one to make the first move by jumping towards him, but wincing in pain slightly because of his leg before knocking his lizard foe straight in the chin with his fist. Eventually, the chameleon retaliated by uppercutting and axe kicking him down before receiving a direct smash in the eye with a brick.
While they fought, Rango shot him again in his left ribcage, missing his head due to his bad aim. "Oops", he peeps, before having his arm broke by Surly, leaving him to yelp in pain before he bit his ear as they fell to the ground unexpectedly. They were both down, and just when they were going to attack again, everything started to fall on them.
THUD!!!
( ... )
As everything landed in the arena, causing a large pile of debris to be left behind. Silence was left in the area, with each piece of rubble leaving a large mist of dust. Just when the people slowly came back, their faces turned pale in shock with lit-up eyes to only see rubbish left of the great melee.
The king was about to announce a tie, but was stopped when Surly slowly crawled out with bruises and broken bones, stepping atop a large piece of waste with his fist up in victory. Everyone began to cheer as he looked down emotionless, feeling bad for his fallen foe, while not letting that get in the way.
Suddenly, the arm of the man in leather reached out, with the people gasping in surprise. He tried to dig out of the rocks, being impaled by a metal pole, but trying to take his last shot at his furry foe, leaving him to pull back the trigger...
BAM!
The heroic squirrel was shot in the heart, while slowly looking over to the chameleon before falling down in death. The crowd was shocked, and gasped in sync when Rango too died, and if his closed eyes didn't give it away, then the blood from his mouth did. Both of the legends were finally deceased...
K.O.!!!
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqgA4p9Q_Vs )
As they fell, the impact struck the hearts of many, leaving the king to pompously laugh and proudly announce, "People, this battle... is a draw!", while sitting in his comfortable chair. A few seconds of silence passed before the viewers started to burst in commotion, with the guards beginning to guide them to the exit, leaving the self-proclaimed ruler to plot his next move, while wondering, did they have important lives?
Like the selfish and immature ruler he was, he simply didn't bother to answer, while hiring some repairmen to clean up the mess the two combatants made. Maybe then he can finally get some things done around here.
( Back outside the fourth wall... )
"I told you he was going to die!", the lead Mariachi bird yelled towards his crew, as the narrator sighed and said, "With that being said, my friends... that is the story of the collision between legends". "What about their homes, señor?", the accordionist asked, with the violinist replying, "No tengo ni idea", and the narrator answering, "Well, in Liberty Park, Raccoon returned to see that Surly wasn't there whatsoever, and in Dirt, everyone was both confused about Rango's whereabouts".
"That says enough", the pipe assured, cleaning his instrument with a towel. With the silence being filled with mourning music, played by the burrowing owls themselves, as a tribute commenced.
Oh how things have changed...

Results[]
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYcIkwOv1tE )
Gumball: Hey, with quality, Rango should've won!
Sonic: As much as I agree with you on that, let's just explain why this ended up in a tie.
Gumball: Oh, alright.
Mordecai: In the physicals department, Surly pretty much took it. His lifting strength was topped at 60,000 psi, which is something Rango can't even hope to reach, because 900 psi is almost 67 times weaker than that amount via his 'knocking someone out with striking strength' feat. Let's just say that he has average lifting strength for that, meanwhile Surly has striking strength with the force of 10 psi, and his head has the force of, if not greater than, 1,600 psi!
Sonic: Yeah, I mean, Rango's head isn't as strong to fight on par with the squirrels skull, because he only has one strength feat in the movie. But with the video game, he can destroy wooden containers, launch small or big enemies and knock down a large bridge with a simple punt, or score with a golf club in the bridge area case, but that's pretty much it.
Gumball: And then there's durability, the next thing that Surly takes. His strength compares to it, and not only that, but he can survive being flung at a car, kicked around by humans, electrocuted, his tail getting caught in a mouse trap, falling down the stairs, blasted into the wall by a metal door, being slammed on the road, thrown out a glass window to land in a trash can, the detonation of a stick of dynamite and scale to Grayson, who survived a tree-leveling explosion, only to come out completely unscathed!
sans: yeah, and even if rango lived through having his head smashed through an antenna, a slap from a disfigured doll, falling out of a fish tank to land on the road, a terminal velocity fall in a glass bottle and splashed away by water, alongside his strength mirroring his durability, it pales in comparison to the rogue, especially since he also scales to Raccoon, who survived a grown man falling on him.
Mordecai: Not to mention that he also blitzes Rango, because him outpacing a hawk is nothing compared to Surly dodging and running past speeding vehicles!
Sonic: The intelligence area is where they both shine the most, and that was a hard one to decide really. Surly was able to make flawless schemes that only went wrong due to others, interrogate Mole and pull off a large heist, while Rango was able to professionally act, be a tactical gunman, think of clever plans, use good combat skills and successfully ride a roadrunner. They were also able to improvise out of any situation and use their environment to their advantage.
Gumball: Experience also boosts this factor, but since Rango has more of it, should he be much smarter? Well, his comedically clueless nature is a very harmful weakness for him, it somewhat balances out, and this is the same case for Surly and his cockiness. With that being said, it's like a balanced yet tilting plate, and that's the best way to say it for me.
sans: in the weapons category, rango obviously had a legs-up here. he had more than his furry foe, and they were more offensive and versatile. the backpack wasn't a big help, as rango had literal guns to support him despite his somewhat bad aim. we're not kidding when we say this, and neither are the comments.
Mordecai: That reminds me; in the weakness category, there were two key factors: cockiness and cowardice. Both have stuck with them throughout their entire movie debut, though their maturity has somewhat weakened it, thus introducing their overwhelming bravery.
Sonic: In other words, Surly's better physicals tied with Rango's aggressive arsenal, while their equal intelligence and luck landed them a harsh doom.
Gumball: I guess that neither of them had the 'nuts' to take the win, and were 'crushed' under the 'heroic' pressure. Did I do good?
Mordecai: This battle is a draw.
Death Battle Score[]
Track Name: "Nuts In The West"
Track Features: An acorn with a cowboy hat above a pile of custom nuts with a stream of water as a light shines onto the background.
Track References: The nuts part references the title (The Nut Job) and low food supply for winter issue for Surly, whereas the water and west parts represents the low water supply issue in the desert for Rango. The hat above obviously references Rango being the town sheriff, while the light is for effect, like their movies.
Track Music: The music begins with a light and happy tune on Surly's side, and a western fanfare on Rango's side, with both themes beginning to get more perilous and suspenseful, until both sides are done. After some silence, upbeat tournament music emits, with it turning into action-packed battle music when the battle starts, as some comedic funk guitar and trumpet notes at some points, until it suddenly ends with a short rock tune. While it's in the aftermath point, heroic music begins to play, until it ends with a short, happy tune.

Trivia[]
- In case it wasn't clear, here are the connections.
- Both are small and anthropomorphic animals that are extremely intelligent, but used their talents for other intentions (stealing nuts for Surly, and acting/showing off for Rango) in the past.
- They're rather cocky, cynical, comedic and cowardly at times, being more full of themselves as they went on, but maturing overtime, while still having their cocksure demanors. This ties them to the conflict of the story rather well, because this trait caused them to go over-the-top with them trying to fit in.
- At the start of their stories, they began as underdogs who go on a journey after an accident (being banished from the park for Surly, and finding himself for Rango), saved their places from a said survival problem (starvation for Liberty Park, and low water supply for Dirt), and have shown the evil behind the scenes, only to become their civilization's savior.
- They've been the heroes of their locations that are populated with more unique and different species of animals, who have first hated them before they accepted them after a valiant and uncovered truth.
- Both have a love interest who has been frail, but knows how to fight (Andie and Beans), and a foe who used to be the corrupt government of the place with devious drives and manipulative mechanisms, but was soon put down after their motives were revealed (Raccoon and Mayor John).
- While they both are analytical enough to yield normal objects as weapons and use the environment to their advantage, and are stronger than they look, neither of them are immune to getting hurt, or having moments of cluelessness (mostly Rango at times). Despite these factors, they overcame the negative qualities with their bravery and tenacity.
- They originated from strange kids movies that came out in the 2010 times (but have different release dates), and they had different rates. (The Nut Job, including the sequel, had bad reviews, while the Rango movie had much better reviews... by a long shot. Okay, I'll stop.)
- This Death Battle was the easiest one for Void to research and do, as he had this planned for a while.
- For this bout, I will only be using the first movie for Surly, and the movie and video game for Rango to make it fair.
Trust me, if this was a quality match, Rango breathes and Surly disintegrates into nothingness
