It's been a few days since team Rwby watched the Megaman battle royale episode last week. Here we see the girls gather their snacks.
Yang: " Alright we got snacks, pillows, and back up snacks." Yang said listing the items.
Weiss: " Everything we need for a Death Battle episode." Weiss said.
Blake: " Now with that said." Blake started before Ruby cut her off.
Ruby: " Let's watch the episode!" Ruby finished as she cued up the episode as she and the others got into their seats.
Interlude
(*Cues: Wiz & Boomstick - Brandon Yates*)
Wiz: Some people are born to be heroes or villains, but many are thrust upon these roles with very little regard, and must simply make the best of their new, stressful life.
Ruby: " Too true." Ruby said.
Yang: " Got that right." Yang added as she and the others remembered the events they went through ever since the Fall of Beacon.
Boomstick: Like Black Widow, the covert enemy turned ally of the Avengers.
Blake: " Oh she's from the same universe as the other avengers." Blake commented.
Wiz: And Widowmaker, the deadly but unwitting adversary of Overwatch.
Weiss: "She kind of reminds me of Roman." Weiss commented.
Ruby: " If he was a woman who had blue skin." Ruby added.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
# Black Widow
Wiz: Natalia Romanov, more commonly known as the anglicized Natasha Romanoff, is one of the more curious members of the legendary Avengers.
Boomstick: Yeah, unlike most of them, she doesn't have any ridiculous superpowers. And she even started out as a bad guy!
Yang: " Dang off to a bad start." Yang said.
Blake: " Let's just hope it's not a guts back story." Blake commented.
Wiz: Like many secret agents, Natasha's past is a mystery. One account claimed she was raised by a soldier named Ivan Petrovich, who taught her the art of combat. His teachings were so affluent, that Natasha was kidnapped by an order of assassins known as The Hand, intending to train her as their master assassin.
Ruby: " Wow, that's scary not know where you came from." Ruby commented.
Weiss: " Yeah, everyone has a past but as we know some of them are not good." Weiss said.
Popup: Black Widow's backstory is intentionally left as vague as possible to lend credence to her work as a spy. However, regardless of her past, she always ends up in the same place.
Boomstick: Luckily, Wolverine and Captain Boy Scout rescued her. But she eventually put her talents to use, working for the KGB and becoming a famous ballerina.
Yang: " What? She was trained to be some deadly assassin and she became a ballerina? Lame." Yang commented.
Weiss: " Hey now, there's nothing wrong with being a ballerina." Weiss said.
Wiz: However, the most likely story was that Petrovich admitted a young Natasha to a secret soviet program called the Black Widow Ops. There, in the infamous Red Room, Natasha was trained to be the deadliest spy in the world.
Blake: " More deadly than any whitefang member?" Blake asked.
Weiss: " Possibly." Weiss guessed.
Boomstick: She learned all sorts of stealth, assassination, and martial arts techniques. Including the newly invented Sambo style, which is basically like street fighting Judo mixed with the craziest grappling moves ever. Like, how does she even do that? Are Russians magic?
Yang: " Nope just very skilled in fighting." Yang commented.
Wiz: She learned dozens of other martial arts, including Karate, Mui Tay, Aikido, and Kung Fu.
Boomstick: And she's mastered all sorts of weaponry, becoming an expert marksman. Damn, sign me up for the spider ops!
Ruby: " Wow, with all those styles it's no wonder she's deadly." Ruby commented.
Weiss: " No kidding." Weiss replied.
Wiz: Don't get the wrong idea, the Red Room was brutal. Natasha was brainwashed, literally programmed with false memories, which included her days as a ballerina. She was even forced to duel other members to the death. Crazy to think about, considering how much went into each one's training, but all the more to transform her into the ultimate stone-cold spy, codenamed Black Widow.
Yang: " Dang so those ballerina memories are fake?" Yang asked.
Blake: " After what we heard, yeah they are." Blake said.
Yang: " Yikes, that sucks." Yang said.
Ruby: " Yeah, knowing all your memories of your were all implanted fake memories is kind of said." Rubg added.
Weiss: " Too true." Weiss added.
Boomstick: Eh, sometimes that's what you gotta do if you wanna be a winner. When I was a kid, Mama Boomstick trained me and some friends to eat over sixty hot dogs in ten minutes. I was the only one who survived.
Yang: " I don't think anyone can survive doing that." Yang commented.
Ruby: " Yeah that doesn't seem physically possible." Ruby added.
(We cut to Wiz and Boomstick)
Wiz and Weiss: That's... wow...
Boomstick: You should see it coming out...
Blake: "Let's not." Blake said a bit disgusted by that fact.
Wiz: Well, while Natasha was plenty deadly on her own, she got one more gift from the Red Room.
Boomstick: A super-soldier serum. Because at the time, everyone and their dog was trying to make the next Captain America, but she wound up with the knockoff, dollar store version, 'cause the Nazi's decided to kill the only person in the world who knew how to make it. Seriously, what was this guy thinking?
Weiss: " He probably wasn't." Weiss commented.
Yang: " Yeah dumb idea on the fact you killed the only guy who knew how to make anothr captain America." Yang added.
Wiz: Still, she received some impressive benefits, including a beyond Olympic level physique, inhuman resistance to poison and disease, and slowed aging.
Boomstick: So she gets to keep her good looks for over a century.
Weiss: " Lucky." Weiss commented as the others agreed with her and were a bit jealous after hearing that fact.
Wiz: And run up to thirty-five miles an hour.
Boomstick: Yeah, tha-that's pretty good, too.
Ruby: " Wow if I didn't have my semblance I would not be that fast." Ruby commented.
Popup: In comparison, Usain Bolt's top foot speed is 27.8 mph.
Wiz: As the Black Widow, Natasha quickly proved her dominance over her peers, soon becoming the KGB's top operative. Taking on the most perilous of missions, it wasn't long until she found herself face to face with an adversary who proved her match, Iron Man.
Yang: " Yeah because when it comes to robo suits Iron Man is the Man." Yang said jokingly while the others groaned.
Weiss: " Really Yang? It's not even the end of the episode." Weiss said.
Yang: " Hey I couldn't help it okay? That one was a freebe." Yamg replied.
Blake: " She has a point, but in seriousness, it was bad." Blake commented.
Boomstick: Hey, when it takes a super-suit with enough munition to wipe out a whole city to stop you, you know you're pretty good at what you do.
Ruby: " Got that right." Ruby commented.
Wiz: To destroy Iron Man and his team of Avengers, Black Widow recruited Hawkeye and attempted to sway him to the dark side, but to her surprise, the exact opposite happened.
Blake: " He turned her good." Blake commented.
Boomstick: Yeah, turns out Hawkeye is so goddamn handsome, that he literally love struck the brainwashing out of her.
Weiss: " Aww that's kind of romantic." Weiss said.
Ruby: " True, love conquers almost all." Ruby added.
Popup: Natasha has actually had to break free of multiple brainwashings.
Wiz: And so, Black Widow betrayed her country, and became an ally of the Avengers. And while keeping up with the likes of Iron Man and Thor is no easy feat, she held her own not just with her amazing talents, but also her plethora of gear and gadgets.
Yang: " Man that's a lot of weapons." Yang commented.
Ruby: " Hey there's not such thing as too much weapons." Ruby commented.
Boomstick: Where does she keep 'em all in that bodysuit? It's like, super tight! I mean, not that I'm complaining or anything, but the logistics are baffling.
Yang: " I'm guessing really big pockets." Yang said.
Ruby: " Or she just uses the necessary tools for the job." Ruby guesed.
Weiss: " Eh, maybe." Weiss added.
Wiz: Well, not only is her suit composed of an abnormally durable Kevlar, she has several gadgets hidden within her gauntlets. The Widow's Line is a retractable grappling hook that lets her swing like Spider-Man, cartridges of tear gas pellets and explosives serve obvious purposes, and then there's the Widow's Bite.
Blake: " Widow's Bite? What kind of name is that?" Blake said.
Yang: " Oh like Gambol Shroud screams originality?" Yang asked.
Blake: " And I retract my statement." Blake replied.
Boomstick: What, like a spider bite? How's that supposed to...
Wiz zaps him with a replica of the gauntlet.
Ruby: " Ohh it's a grappling hook that doubles as a tazer." Ruby said.
Boomstick: Wow, that was pretty shocking, Wiz.
Yang: " That pun was-" Yang was cut off by Weiss.
Weiss: *facepalms* " Don't yang. Just don't." Weiss said ad Yang pouted.
Yang: " You just don't appreciate comedy." Yang said.
Wiz rolls his eyes and facepalms with his metal hand, shattering his glasses
Boomstick: *Laughs*You broke your glasses, idiot! *Wiz zaps him again* Oh God, I should've seen this coming!
Blake: " Ya think?" Blake asked.
Wiz: Even without the KGB, Black Widow remains one of the top assassins in the world, she's so skilled with a sniper rifle, she could cut Hawkeye's bowstring while he's in mid-shot, forcing him to miss his target. To put this in perspective, the average thickness of compound bowstring is about one-hundredth of an inch thick. That's as thin as a fingernail, and she made this shot from hundreds of feet away.
Ruby: " Wow I should start practicing to be good as Black Widow." Ruby commented as she wanted to improve her targeting skills.
Boomstick: She's quick enough to easily dodge point-blank gunfire, skilled enough to defeat one hundred men by herself, and strong enough to snap a guy's neck with just one kick.
Yang: " Dang that's hardcore." Yang commented.
Wiz: Pretty impressive, as it takes around six hundred pounds of force to break the human neck.
Weiss: "Impressive, and it only takes Black Widow one kick." Weiss commented.
Boomstick: She's so goddamn tough, she's taken a grenade to the face from a few feet away, and she was fine. She fell four stories, through a mounted sign, into a car, and she was fine! So much for that super serum being dollar-store junk, right?
Yang: " Okay now that's even more hardcore." Yang commented.
Wiz: Well, this durability extends beyond physical toughness, after all, she doesn't exactly have bulletproof skin or anything like that, rather, she possesses a staggeringly strong drive to survive, no matter what.
Boomstick: Yeah, like the time when she had to go through intensive surgery, while she was still conscious!
RWBY: " WHAT?!?" The girls said in shock.
Ruby: " That doesn't seem physically possible!" Ruby said.
Yang: " It shouldn't!" Yang said.
Blake: " No one can do that!" Blake said.
Weiss: " Not even the most toughest huntsman, huntress, or Atlas soldier is that tough to do...that!" Weiss added.
Wiz: Just imagine, she felt every cut, every pole, every movement as the surgeon sliced open her stomach and sewed up her insides. Despite the incredible pain throughout this ordeal, which likely lasted several hours, for her own sake, she could not move a muscle.
Ruby: " My oum..." Ruby said in awe.
Boomstick: I think I'm gonna throw up... Ugh, that reminds me of my vasectomy, both of 'em.
Weiss: " I think I'm gonna be sick too." Weiss commented with a green face but managed to compose herself.
Wiz: But even alongside the Avengers, Natasha retains a gray sense of morality. Her path to redemption has been a rocky one, as her personal quest to destroy the Red Room has left a trail of bodies in its wake.
Yang: " I think this is one spy you don't wanna mess with." Yang commented.
Boomstick: This is one redhead you don't wanna mess with.
*Black Widow walks down a hallway, casually spraying a guard in the face with pepper spray as she goes.*
Weiss: " Definitely don't wanna fight her." Weiss commented.
# Widowmaker
Wiz: While the stories of many world-class assassins often carry a truckload of baggage, few are as heartbreaking as the case of Amélie Lacroix.
Yang: " Oh boy, sad backstory time girls." Yang commented.
Boomstick: That's even more true than you think, but we'll get there.
Wiz: Growing up, Amélie never aspired or trained for combat. In fact, she devoted much of her life to becoming a world-renowned ballerina in Paris, France.
Weiss: " Oh like Black Widow, uh sort of." Weiss said remembering those memories was implanted.
*Cut to Wiz and Boomstick*
Boomstick: You know, I've noticed it's almost a requirement for all badass assassins to be ballerinas or something, so I've started working on a few moves myself.
Yang: " How is he gonne do that with a gun-leg?" Yang asked.
*He holds up his gun leg.*
Wiz: What? Wait, hold on!
(He ducks as the gun lets off a shot into the ceiling)
Weiss: " Annd this is why you never do ballerina with a gun leg." Weiss remarked.
Yang: " Or one handed push ups with a weaponized prosthetic arm." Yang said as she recalled the time she did that and the gun function of her arm went off and startled her.
Wiz: Amélie's husband, however, was a key figure for Overwatch, a global peacekeeping organization spearheading operations against a terrorist group called Talon.
Weiss: " Wow, is it weird that it sounds exactly like how Atlas is protecting people from the Whitefang back then?" Weiss asked.
Blake: " I mean they do sound similar but it's not possible they're the same thing as us." Blake replied.
Ruby: " Yeah there's no universe that's like us." Ruby said.
Boomstick: Talon tried over and over to kill this guy, but they just couldn't pull it off. So instead, they kidnapped Amélie. Damn, not cool.
Yang: " So not cool." Yang agreed.
Wiz: Thankfully, Overwatch quickly rescued her, and life returned to normal.
Boomstick: Or did it? Nope! Because out of nowhere, Amélie killed her hubby in his sleep.
Ruby: " What?! Why??" Ruby was shocked by this as were the others as well.
Wiz: Turns out, the kidnapping wasn't just a simple ransom or attempted lure. Talon ruthlessly subjected Amélie to intense neurological reconditioning, molding her into the perfect brainwashed sleeper agent.
Boomstick: Right, because she was sleeping next to him in their bed, and then bam! First kill! Sleeper agent!
Weiss: " Pretty sure that's not what that means." Weiss commented.
Yang: " But it is accurate." Yang added.
Wiz: Right, sure. She returned to Talon to complete their psychological and physiological reconfiguration process. When all was said and done, Amélie Lacroix was no more. In her place stood the cold-hearted assassin known as Widowmaker.
Blake: " Oum, not even the Whitefang are that ruthless." Blake said.
Yang: " Really?" Yang asked as she raised her prosthetic arm.
Blake: " Okay most soliders are not that ruthless, *sees the looks shes getting* Okay all of them are bad." Blake reluctantly said
Boomstick: Ah, I get why she's called Widowmaker! Though it is kind of weird that the widow she was making... was her.
Weiss: " Wow, smart reasoning Boomstick." Weiss said sarcastically.
Wiz: *Sarcastic* Brilliant deduction, Boomstick. Widowmaker embodies the coldhearted killer trope so well, it's actually literal. Talon's experiments slowed her heart rate and suppressed her emotions, turning her into an actual cold-blooded killing machine. Hence the cold blue skin.
Ruby: " Wait really?" Ruby asked.
Yang: " I thought she was some kind of mutant." Yang guessed.
Blake: " Some chameleon faunus like Ilia can change their colors based on their moods." Blake explained.
Boomstick: That's not really a thing, is it? Turning your skin blue like that? I just figured she was the girl Smurf all grown up, gotta be some trauma.
(We cut to Wiz and Boomstick)
Wiz: There's actually a pretty easy way to turn your skin blue, you just need to drink some colloidal silver.
Yang: " I wouldn't do that if I were you." Yang said.
He holds up a glass of liquid.
Boomstick: Uh, is it safe?
Ruby: " Nope." Ruby said.
Wiz: Oh yeah, sure, no doubt, it's one hundred percent non-toxic silver.
Boomstick: Okay, bottoms up!
He drinks and immediately collapses, making Wiz chuckle.
Weiss: " Of course Wiz would do that." Weiss said but chuckled a bit at the same time.
Wiz: Anyway, the blue makeover wasn't just for show, with her heart rate down, her body's movements and vibrations are highly reduced.
Yang' " But how does everything else function?" Yang asked.
Boomstick: The blood pulsing through your hands can actually bump up your shot, it's not by a lot, but when you're aiming at something a thousand yards away, even a tiny bit of movement matters.
Ruby: " Too true." Ruby said.
Wiz: This might not sound too difficult, until you consider that a typical human heart rate in a stressful situation can exceed one hundred beats per minute. A perfect sniper has to time their shots between almost two beats per second.
Ruby: " Wow, I don't think I can be that accurate." Ruby said.
Blake: " Well it's worth a try." Blake suggested.
Ruby: " I guess." Ruby said.
Popup: Snipers are trained to steady their breathing and heartbeat as to keep their aim as steady as possible. By slowing Widowmaker's blood flow, performing this feat becomes exponentially easier.
Boomstick: So even though she started pretty late, Widowmaker skipped years of killing people school with just this one little tweak.
Yang: " Because she was expiremented on she didn't need the training." Yang said.
Weiss: " Now hang on we don't know that for sure, she obviously needed some training if she became an agent." Weiss said. Yup
Wiz: Talon's manifesto is that humanity is made stronger through conflict, and so, Widowmaker was taught a variety of different combat and covert techniques to be ready for any violent possibilities.
Boomstick: She's ridiculously athletic, just look at her go, and she's got plenty of handy tools to help her kill people even faster.
Ruby: " Yes! Weapons!" Ruby said.
Wiz: She carries a grappling hook with a sixty-five-foot cable, perfect for getting around any terrain in an instant. Her venom mines stick to most surfaces, and after being triggered by movement, release a deadly toxin.
Ruby: " Ooh, maybe I should add some-" Ruby started but was cut off by Weiss
Weiss: " You are not adding dust mines to your arsenal." Weiss said which made Ruby pout.
Boomstick: And give her a ping in her funny looking spider helmet.
Wiz: That's Widowmaker's recon visor, basically multi-screen super goggles. They provide infrared sight that spots heat signatures through walls and transmits multiple feeds.
Weiss: " Hmm, that seems useful." Weiss said.
Boomstick: Then there's her signature weapon, the one, the only, Widow's Kiss. It may look an oversized SMG, but with a click of a button, it turns into a badass sniper rifle.
Ruby: " Ooh! Just like crescent Rose! Except it's not a scythe ." Ruby said.
Boomstick imitates the transforming sound.
Boomstick: As a sniper, this baby can fire at four different levels of power, a fully charged shot hits ten times stronger than a standard one, making the Widow's Kiss one of the deadliest rifles in the world. Unless you're wearing some really heavy armor, it'll kill pretty much anyone with just one shot. Wiz, build me one now.
Ruby: " I'm gonna build that too!"*sees the look on Weiss* " Incase if Crescent Rose is in repairs or damaged, Thorn shooter is there to help." Ruby said.
Weiss: " Seriously? You came up with a name already?" Weiss asked.
Ruby: " Yes I did." Ruby said.
Yang: " Sis you heard what Boomstick said, that kind of fire power dangerous." Yang pointed out.
Ruby: " I'll only use it for emergencies." Ruby said.
Yang: " Okay but don't go complaining when your missing an arm." Yang said.
Wiz: Eh, with your luck, your hand'll probably get stuck in one of the moving parts and I'll have to be the one to amputate it and build you a mechanical replacement. Yeah, I'm in!
Boomstick: You don't know that... stupid Wiz...
Blake: " It's probably gonna happen." Blake said.
Wiz: Widowmaker is one of Talon's top agents, and has the feats to prove it. She's taken on Overwatch members multiple times, effortlessly defeating some of their own top agents, like fellow sniper Ana Amari, who's cybernetic eye can see six times greater than a normal one, and she pulls this off while achieving ulterior goals, such as when she baited Tracer into unknowingly allowing her to assassinate a diplomat. That's some intense, on the fly multitasking.
Ruby: " Yeah not even I could do that even with my semblance." Ruby said.
Boomstick: And she's way tougher than she looks. Her visor can protect her from a sniper shot to the face, and she even took a hit from Doomfist's gauntlet! This thing can take down a skyscraper! But, she was fine.
Yang: " Wow, and she did that with no aura, that's impressive." Yang said.
Wiz: While it wasn't wielded by Doomfist himself at the time, it clearly struck with some serious power. An average skyscraper ranges between two hundred fifty to three hundred feet tall, to topple it in one go, you'd need a force equivalent to at least two tons of TNT.
Weiss: " Are we sure she doesn't have super soldier serum injected into her system?" Weiss asked.
Boomstick: You sure Talon didn't slip her some super serum in a drink or anything? Cause that's ridiculous!
Ruby: " Got that right." Blake commented.
Wiz: Also, while ranged combat may be her forte, Widowmaker is skilled enough to take out an entire armed security force up close, while avoiding their gunfire.
Boomstick: The blue bombshell can do it all, kinda sucks that Talon drained her of all emotion, cause now she can't appreciate how badass she is. Kinda like how I sometimes forget I have a shotgun for a leg, until it-
He yells as it accidentally goes off.
Weiss: " Dose that." Weiss commented.
Wiz: God, I hate when that happens.
Yang: " Don't worry Boomstick I know that feeling all to well." Yang said as she recalls times she forgets her arm also has a gun attachment and it occasionally goes off.
Wiz: Talon's experiments may have yielded astounding results, but I'm not sure they were quite so thorough. In fact, every Christmas, a certain blue-skinned woman can be found leaving a rose at her late husband's grave. So maybe, just maybe, Amélie isn't quite gone for good.
Ruby: " Yeah that's the spirit, maybe she's still in there." Ruby said with hope.
Widowmaker: A single death can change everything.
Yang: " How about multiple deaths?" Yang asked recalling the time Pyrrha died, then Penny, then Roman, and other people too.
# Death Battle
(*Cues: Widow's Kiss - Therewolf Media*)
In the middle of a snowing city at night, a spider webs itself to Black Widow's red motorcycle, which she is driving alongside a black car. They eventually arrive on their street and park next to a building. Natasha looks both ways before tapping her kickstand and loading her sniper rifle. She leaves her motorcycle in place as she begins escorting a white-haired client. Unbeknownst to her, the man is right in Widowmaker's reticle.
Widowmaker: Je te vois... (I see you...)
Yang: " Um what did she say?" Yang asked.
Weiss: " Hang on I'm on it." Weiss said as she used a translator app on her scroll and typed in what Widowmaker said "She said 'I see you'." Weiss said reading the translation.
Ruby: " Why would she say that?" Ruby asked.
Amélie snipes the client in the head and kills him instantly.
Ruby: " Ohh that's why." Ruby said.
Natasha immediately takes cover next to the car and peeks over. Widowmaker fires another bullet that Black Widow narrowly avoids as it takes out the car window. Natasha kicks up a nearby green bottle for Widowmaker to shoot to give her time to set up her own sniper on the car hood.
Blake: " Wow good thing that car was there." Blake said.
Black Widow: Got you...
Black Widow fires off her sniper which Widowmaker hears and turns to counter fire. The two bullets graze by each other in mid-air as they continue towards their destination. Amélie narrowly avoids
Natasha's shot and it ends up taking out a pigeon behind her.
Ruby: " Birdie no!!" Ruby said recalling she killed a bird during imitation day.
Widowmaker's bullet goes through Black Widow's reticle and strikes her in the shoulder. Thinking she's won, Amélie contacts her superior.
Yang: " That was too easy." Yang said.
Widowmaker: It's finished, Rendez-Vous immediately.
However, she starts hearing tires screeching and notices Black Widow speeding on her motorcycle.
Weiss: " And that's why you check twice." Weiss said.
Widowmaker gives chase by running on the rooftop and firing her Widow's Kiss at the street. Natasha narrowly avoids them as one of Amélie's bullets takes out a nearby taxi driver. She then leans on the right side of her motorcycle for cover and starts firing her wrist gauntlets at the rooftop.
Widowmaker uses her grappling hook to gain her ground and starts running on the building while continuing to fire bullets. She then aims and fires at the tire of a blue car that explodes upon crashing into a taxi. Black Widow's enhanced senses and agility allow her to leap her cycle over the fire with ease. She then notices a large aircraft heading towards the Ferris wheel in the middle of the city.
Black Widow: Trying to escape me? No chance.
Ruby: " Yeah get the bad guy! Err girl!" Ruby said.
Natasha starts heading towards the Ferris wheel as Amélie continues running on the roof noticing the chase.
Widowmaker: Abort! Abort!
Black Widow starts driving up the base of the Ferris wheel and attaches a grenade to her motorcycle. She then backflips off her bike as it crashes into the aircraft and explodes. She uses her Widow's line to avoid the incoming debris and swing forward. She holds onto one of the passenger cars as multiple explosions cause the Ferris wheel to detach it from the base and start rolling forward.
Widowmaker arrives at the edge of the closest building and activates her recon visor to see which cabin Black Widow is hiding behind. She fires at the right one, but Natasha lifts her left hand off to avoid the shot.
Widowmaker: Ugh, you've got to be kidding me...
Yang: " Sucks to be you Widowmaker." Yang said.
Amélie leaps backward as the Ferris wheel crashes into the building. She then walks forward and tries looking for her opponent in front of her. Natasha lands behind her and equips her electric baton as she dashes forward. However, the Russian spy ends up activating Widowmaker's Venom Mine and falls down coughing.
Widowmaker: What makes you think you can sneak up on me!?
Blake: " She's trained to be an assassin and knows a lot lf fighting styles." Blake said.
Black Widow: Heh, I'm a goddamn Avenger...
Weiss: " Or that." Weiss added.
Black Widow fires her Widow's Bite and electrocutes her opponent. She then runs forward and grabs Widowmaker to make them dive into the street. Amélie shoots her grappling hook to make them both crash into a window and land on one of the upper levels of the building into a dance studio.
Widowmaker roars as she starts unloading rounds with her Widow's Kiss. Black Widow performs a couple of flips to avoid nearly all of the bullets, with one just grazing her cheek. She runs forward and uses her baton to disarm her opponent and engages her in hand to hand combat.
Widowmaker tries firing her grappling hook again, but Natasha avoids it and pulls her enemy forward. Amélie uses her nimble legs to avoid Natasha and tries kicking her, but Black Widow avoids one of her sweeps and rapidly punches her into the mirror.
The fallen Talon agent grabs one of the broken mirror shards to stab the Avenger in the leg and stomach, but Black Widow is eventually able to block and disarm her before landing several blows and spins around her while tying a tight wire to her neck. Widowmaker reaches desperately for her gun while struggling to breathe.
Widowmaker: I... can survive... anything...
Yang: " Yeah something tells me she's not gonna survive this." Yang said.
Black Widow: Nice theory. Let's test it!
Natasha back flips off of Amélie's leg to pull the wire with enough force to decapitate Widowmaker.
Black Widow: Dosvidaniya (Goodbye).
Ruby: " Weiss translation?" Ruby asked as Weiss typed it.
Weiss: " She said good bye." Weiss replied.
Black Widow walks away and leaves Widowmaker's headless corpse behind.
KO!
Results
Boomstick: Damn! Which one was the cold-hearted chick again?
Yang: " Both of them were." Yang said.
Weiss: " Then again Widowmaker did kill her own husband so maybe her?" Weiss gussed. "Or it could be both of them." She added.
Wiz: Given her history, Natasha obviously brought a lot more combat experience to the battle than Widowmaker. Even still, this was far from one-sided. Widowmaker's arsenal in particular made it difficult for Natasha to out-gun her in ranged combat. Except for the venom mine, given her advanced immune system.
Ruby: " So in other words that venom mine would have been useless." Ruby said.
Popup: Even still, Widowmaker's venom mines only affect their target for a limited time and are not immediately fatal.
Boomstick: But once Widowmaker was disarmed, something which seems to happen a lot, Natasha got the upper hand. Like, literally. She's way better at hand to hand. That's a no-brainer, just based on how many martial arts she knows, her super serum boost, and how many people she's had to judo to death.
Blake: " Got that right." Blake said.
Popup: Natasha’s wealth of experience has given her the training and skills necessary to survive snipers like Hawkeye and Widowmaker long enough to get in close.
Wiz: They both could dodge bullets and were expert shots, but Widowmaker has never shown capabilities equal to Natasha breaking a neck in one strike, running thirty-five miles per hour, or shooting a moving bowstring.
Yang: " Yeah since she had more experience than Widowmaker." Yang said.
Boomstick: They were pretty evenly matched when it came to taking hits, though. Natasha took a grenade to the face, while Widowmaker got hit by Doomfist's gauntlet.
Wiz: Yes, but while the gauntlet can take down a skyscraper, even in Doomfist's own hands, it certainly doesn't seem capable of doing so with one hit. Much less in the hands of a skinny teenager.
Weiss: " So Widowmaker had the advantage there." Weiss said.
Boomstick: Hell, Doomfist escaped prison by punching through a concrete wall with his bare fists. I don't think hoodie kid's gonna pull that off, just a hunch.
Cut to Wiz and Boomstick, the latter's skin having turned blue due to the liquid silver.
Ruby: " Woah! It actually worked?!" Ruby said shocked by this.
Weiss: " By the looks of it, it sure did." Weiss was equally shocked.
Wiz: Widowmaker certainly had her moments, but she just couldn't match Natasha's greater speed, precision, and decades of experience.
Boomstick: She just couldn’t find that Widow of opportunity.
Yang laughed while the others groaned.
Wiz: The winner is Black Widow.
