"Whose the first person that comes to your mind when you think about the apocalypse!?" Chris asked curiously.
"I imagine a gruff, battle-hardened survivor," remarked Arsenal, "like our combatants today."
"Joel, the survivor who obviously gives no fucks bout anyone but him and some bratty girl."
"And Rick Grimes, the smalltown Constable, turned human-zombie, turned messiah of the apocalypse."
"My messiah you must mean bat shit crazy cause that's what he is. Who suggested this fight again?" Chris asked scrolling through the suggestions.
"The House master... whoever that is."
"Well it's happening, it's our job to analyze their armor, weapons, and skill to see who would win a death battle!"
Joel's Theme: The Last of Us Theme Song
"Ahh the apocalypse, life's biggest F you to the world," Began Chris, "But, out of everyone, I doubt anyone got it as bad as Joel, who was a lucky survivor of the cordyceps brain infection."
"As said by dozens of horror movie taglines, the lucky ones die first." continued Arsenal.
"But not Joel, who trying to escape with his beloved daughter Sarah. They were stopped by a authority figure and like authority, they shot her and she bled to death in Joel's arms."
"Joel, now disillusioned, thought, 'hey, fuck common decency!', living in this stage of grief for twenty years, as, bad habits die hard."
"Joel did whatever he had to to survive, including killing any unlucky sucker who happened to cross his path."
"In his adventures in senseless killing, Joel ended up running guns. This, naturally, led to encounters with thieves and smugglers, who he gladly mowed down."
"But things got more interesting for Joel when Ellie came into his life, and surprise, she looks like his dead daughter Sarah. Man, does life hate this guy!?"
"Yes. The answer is yes." Arsenal responded.
"So Joel, trusted to protect Ellie takes her to the rebel group Fireflies, because apparently Ellie is immune to the virus that destroyed the world."
"He then goes on a wondrous adventure, losing many friends along the way... and, of course, killing things along the way."
"What friends?" Arsenal questioned.
"Oh ya know, that one girl who was bit and sacrificed herself, the kid, and then the black guy who shot himself and caused a huge debate over why that was allowed in the game." Chris explained, the music cutting off.
"Oh yeah… moving on." The music plays again. "He couldn't do it without all the unique weapons you wouldn't think you'd find in an apocalyptic world."
"Joel due to his surroundings is adaptable and able to use just about anything lying around. The most common weapons that he finds are a 2x4, Pipe, Baseball Bat that he can upgrade with blades, a Hatchet, and a Machete that slices through people like butter."
"But of course that's not all, when Joel wants fire power, through trading he has acquired an wide array of guns and explosives."
"He uses the 9mm Pistol, Revolver, your average bow and arrow, his sniper pistol El Diablo, Hunting Rifle, Military Sniper, the shotgun pistol Shorty, Shotgun, and Assault Rifle."
"But when Joel needs real firepower he brings out a fucking Flamethrower, yes we're serious, the man has a Flamethrower. But when he needs a bit more… explosive power he can make Molotov Cocktails to light his foes ablaze. Ahh sweet burning vengeance."
"Your insane you know that?" Arsenal taunted.
"Don't test me know it all." Chris warned.
"Not only that Joel can rig a tin can and nails to make a nail bomb that explodes when enemies get to close. Basically, he'll use anything available to murder. But what Joel really specializes in, is stealth."
"Having survived about a decade as a smuggler, during the post-apocalypse, Joel has mastered stealthful fighting, able to take on people half his age."
"But his stealth is supernatural because of the 'Shh Shh'. With this Joel can pin point several enemy locations simply by hearing their footsteps."
"Because of this Joel has managed to take down buildings full of people without notice which is seemingly impossible, even trained authorities."
"Joel is a... cruel man. Ellie is basically his only morality chain. Without her? He's a psycho."
"Ain't that the truth, Joel doesn't hesitate to kill anyone in his way killing them in brutal ways without guilt or remorse."
"His brain may have survived, but his heart definitely didn't." Arsenal concluded.
Joel: "I struggled for a long time with survivin'. And you- No matter what, you keep finding something to fight for."
Rick Grimes Theme: Walking Dead Theme Song
"Rick Grimes was a normal cop when his life took a drastic turn for the worse during a police incident."
"After being shot down on duty, Rick spent months in a coma, sleeping through the beginnings of the apocalypse."
"When he awakes he finds that the world is overrun with the walking dead, hence the name of the show."
"Or is it?!" Arsenal excitedly asked, "... But, more on that later. Rick escapes the hospital, and goes to find his wife, lori, and son, Carl. He quickly does, kicking off an avalanche of tragedy."
"What on Earth are you talking about Arsenal?"
"Well, let's do a quick runthrough!" Arsenal said, taking in a deep breath, "After finding his family at a safecamp, his best friend replaced him in the family, the camp is invaded by zombies, many die. They go on the road, to find a government building, the CDC, many die. They reach the CDC, but are only in for a day. A scientist tells him that everyone is infected, and will turn when they die. The CDC blows up, many die... and that's just the first ten episodes! Further highlights include: having to kill his best friend, his son having to kill his wife as she gives birth to said best friend's daughter, losing three seperate sanctuaries, his group being ravaged by sickness, believing his daughter to be dead for months, being captured by cannibals... and that's not even half of it."
"Holy shit, seriously? Damn, Rick must be bat shit crazy after going through things like that." Chris paused. "Oh yeah, act like I'm not fucking here!"
"He is! Rick suffers from mental breakdowns, and becomes extremely brutal during combat. He has trouble stopping, and will fight until he literally cannot anymore. Notably, he's a very pragmatic fighter, doing whatever he can to win, including ripping out a man's throat with his own teeth!"
"That's... umm... I have no comment on that. How is he still alive!?"
"He's just that amazing. Rick has a functional understanding of most guns. His most notable feat is with his trademark pistol, with which he shot a man's fingers off... in the dark... from across a church."
"If that ain't accuracy I don't know what is. Rick also, being a cop has been trained in hand to hand combat and able to apprehend foes with ease."
"Along with him, Rick is known to carry a pistol, machete, hatchet, and a couple grenades."
"Basically, he's a walking, talking 'fuck you' to the zombie population."
"Indeed he is, Chris. Nearly unstoppable, murderous, roaming forever... he is the walking dead."
Rick Grimes: "You still don't get it. None of you do! We know what needs to be done and we do it. We're the ones who live. You! You just... sit... and plan and hesitate."
"Alright the combatants are set, it's time to settle this debate once and for all!" Arsenal stated firmly.
"It's time for a Deeeaaath Battllee!" Chris screamed.

On an abandoned highway, Joel and Ellie were currently walking heading back home where this entire crazy journey of survival had started. Joel had killed the Fireflies and saved Ellie from sacrificing herself and saving the entire world. Joel just couldn't bear the thought of losing her, she reminded him so much of Sarah, he just couldn't do it. Suddenly Ellie sees a small figure with a gun in their hand running toward them. A Clicker hot on their trail.
"Joel!" Ellie cried getting his attention, Joel looked up and without hesitating fired a shot from his pistol hitting the Clicker in the head, out of complete shock and fear of the sudden bullet whizzing past his head the boy fell in front of Joel and Ellie, falling to his knees. Ellie points her handgun at the boy's head and questions.
"You better have a damn good reason for bringing a Clicker here." Ellie warns.
"Carl!"
Suddenly a shot was fired knocking Ellie's handgun from her hand and skidding across the pavement, Joel quickly pushed Ellie behind him and aimed his gun at a man dressed like a cop. Rick Grimes.
"Who the hell do you think you are!?" Joel questions not taking his aim off the man.
"I should be asking you the same thing, you could've shot him." Rick pointed out making Joel scowl at him.
"The difference, I wasn't aiming for him." Joel corrected before whispering to Ellie. "Get out of here." Ellie runs off doing as Joel says realizing this man was different. Rick aims his gun at Joel in return telling Carl to get out of here.
"Stand down, I don't want trouble." Rick commanded used to be the authority around in his group.
"Over my dead body." Joel answers angrily both stood staring at each other before both fired a shot at the same time.
Battle Theme: The Last of Us Theme (Violin) by Taylor Davis
FIGHT!
Joel and Rick both roll in opposite directions avoiding the single shot gunfire, Joel hiding behind a wrecked vehicle, Rick doing the same as Ricks tarts his way toward Joel. Joel hears Rick watching his movements when he grabs a 2x4 and takes a deep breath before standing and swinging only for Rick to block the shot and knock the weapon from Joel's hand. Rick brought his pistol up to fire only for Joel to grab his hand and move it up just as Rick fired.
Joel slammed Rick's hand into the side of the car forcing the cop to release his hold on the gun. Joel brought his fist up punching Rick in the face, before punching him again dropping Rick to his knees. Before Joel could bring his fist down Rick pulled a hatchet from his back belt and dug it into Joel's shoulder. Blood colored Joel's shirt red as Joel kicked Rick in the gut sending him to the ground and digging the hatchet out of Joel's shoulder.
"D-Damn!" Joel cried in pain holding his injured shoulder. He heard a gun click and looked up to see Rick holding his pistol.
Joel suddenly threw a smoke bomb down clouding Rick's vision the cloud stinging his eyes as he scrambled to his feet frantically searching for Joel's location. Rick suddenly kicked what sounded like a can, an explosion soon followed second after sending nails everywhere, a couple digging into Rick's right knee and torso. Rick dove behind a car still unable to locate Joel as he pulled the nails out of his body, his clothes stained red.
Rick looked through the car windows just in time to see Joel lifting up a Molotov and getting ready to throw it. Rick stood and took his shot shooting the bottle out of Joel's hands, Joel jumped back as flames erupted from where the bottle landed. Joel was shocked any man could make a shot like that. Joel did what he did best, he ran into an abandoned building where it was dark.
"Get back here!" Rick cried chasing after him.
Rick ran into the building, the sunlight his only source of light. Joel was nowhere in sight as Rick stepped forward cautiously keeping his pistol aimed, he heard footsteps and turned firing a shot only to hit concrete. Joel however was taking a deep breath and tracking Rick's movements through his footsteps, Joel began to move still crouched low hiding behind the machinery around him.
"You can't hide forever, your going to bleed out." Rick said unaware of Joel who had quietly gotten closer but still hidden out of sight.
He pulled a Med Kit from his backpack and started patching the wound in his shoulder stopping the bleeding. Joel finished and using his materials created another smoke bomb. Joel grabbed a nearby brick and threw it over Rick's head, it crashing behind another large piece of machinery. Rick turned in that direction and started walking that way.
"I know your there, you can't hide from me." Rick said clearly thinking Joel was in that direction.
Joel began to move sneaking up behind Rick with a Shiv, Joel inched closer and closer, as he was only a foot away he dove forward wrapping his arms around Rick's neck locking him into a chokehold. Joel raised the Shiv to drive it into Rick's neck only for his to grab Joel's hand stopping the Shiv from moving, Rick bent forward throwing Joel over his head, Joel landing hard on his back.
Rick aimed and just before pulling the trigger Joel threw another smoke bomb this time in Rick's face, Rick grabbed his face in pain coughing allowing Joel to rush forward and knock the man to the ground. Joel straddled Rick ripping his pistol from his hands before throwing it away, Joel raised his hand and started punching Rick over and over again until his nose was broken and bleeding. Joel raised the Shiv to finish Rick only for Rick to drive a machete into Joel's side making the older man cry out in pain.
Rick kicked Joel off but Joel angered and fueled by adrenaline pulled his shotgun out and fired barely missing Rick as he dove behind a large piece of machinery. The bullets digging into the metal, Joel walked forward, Rick slyly snagging his pistol, Joel had thrown it towards this machine allowing him to get his weapon back. Rick rose to his feet and aimed only to see nothing, Joel had vanished. Rick turned suddenly having Joel's fist driven into his jaw knocking the man to the floor.
"I'm not dying today." Joel growled as he stomped on Rick's hand breaking his fingers before kicking the pistol away.
Joel picked Rick up by the back of his shirt and threw him through a window, Rick hanging halfway out. Rick fell back landing on the ground groaning in pain as Joel saw Clickers outside running toward his location, the gunshots had attracted them all. Joel pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Rick's head, Rick looking on in complete fear and realization that he was going to die.
"But you will." Joel said before putting his pistol up and walking away. The Clickers seconds away from the window. "There are fates worse than death." Rick's eyes widened as the Clicker's climbed through the window, Rick turned and started crawling desperate to get away.
"No wait, don't do this, nooooo!" Rick was silenced as Clickers crowded his body beginning to rip him apart piece by piece.
KO!
Joel continued walking off when he heard another gun shot nearby, the Clickers to occupied with Rick's screams to move. Joel walked out of the building holding his side in pain as Ellie came around the corner looking as if she were out of breath. Joel could already guess what she did as he watched her put her pistol back in her belt loop.
"I'm guessing you ran into trouble?" Joel asked putting his own gun in his back pocket.
"Of course not, the kid jumped me." Ellie shrugged as if it were no big deal. "I handled it."
"Good, let's get out of here before more Clickers find us." Joel said walking away from the building, Rick's screams long died down. Ellie lifted her backpack higher on her shoulders before following Joel.

"Zombies account for 99% of Death Battle wins. True facts!" Chuckled Arsenal.

"Of course though we knew there was no talking Joel out of a fight once someone threatened Ellie." Chris added chuckling knowing Rick started the fight.

"Rick and Joel largely cancel each other. While rick is a superior shooter, Joel has better physical fighting skills. While Joel is more mentally stable, Rick is much smarter."

"But however Joel had the wider weaponry choice, but what really gave Joel the edge was his experience with the apocalypse, not only that while Rick has survived unimaginable odds."

"Those were against Walkers, Joel deals with countless thugs at once and can do so without being caught or seen. Even trained authorities have fallen to him."

"Superior stealth, experience, and fighting skill, the winner nad better survivor is Joel."
Next Time on Death Battle…!!

Two egos of godly proportions...
