Robocop vs. Doomguy (Battle)

James: Alright, the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all

Ray: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!

----

Delta City
Time: 7:35 PM

The city, for the first time in years, is quiet and peaceful, with crime getting lower and lower thanks to the hard work of Detroit's most recent model of police cyborg.

However, while crime was on the run, the city would face a new threat. One never seen before...

In downtown, Delta City, a hellish portal of shadow and flame materialized into the world of the living. Worse still was that it was getting bigger. Needless to say, this attracted the attention of the authorities and the press, eager to either investigate the object or get first scoop on it.

As the cops and news reporters watched on, the portal pulsated like a living being. With an eerie silence, something emerged. Mentioned "something" was a man: a man who was heavily-muscled, appeared to be in his 40's, and was clad in green armor and a silvery, almost white, helmet.

Doomguy looked around the city and then at the people surrounding him. As one man came forward, the years of being sent to Hell and seeing his own comrades being taken over by hellish monsters, he hefted up a chaingun and, with a roar, mowed down the crowd with a hail of bullets, the crowd screaming in terror as they were shredded by the machine gun fire.

Officers arrived on the scenes, armed with the greatest weapons mankind had to offer, yet they were no match for the demon-slaying super-soldier.

Doomguy's rampage continued until, right there and then, Delta City decided to send in their number one. With a flashing red and blue and a wailing siren, a police car raced onto the scene of the crime where it screeched to a halt. The door swung open and a silvery-blue, metal foot stepped out. Out of the car came none other than Detroit's cyborg defender: Robocop.

On seeing Doomguy, he strode towards him in time to see his fellow cop get his head blown off by a shotgun.

"Freeze!" Robocop ordered, catching Doomguy's attention, "You are under arrest! Come quietly or there will be..." A compartment on Robocop's right leg opened up, showing his trademark Auto-9 handgun. He grabbed it and spun it a bit before pointing it at Doomguy before finishing his sentence "...Trouble."

Doomguy, not pleased at this...thing wanting him arrested, whipped out his own handgun and pointed it at Robocop before replying, "Screw you, tinman!"

"You're coming with me! Dead or alive." Robocop stated, his finger on the trigger finger.

Things were going down now.

FIGHT!

Doomguy appeared to have the itchier trigger finger, firing a series of shots at the robotic officer. However, while Robocop did brace himself slightly, the bullets merely bounced off his silvery-blue plate armor, not even leaving a scratch.

Finding an opening, Robocop aimed his Auto 9 and fired a trio of three-round bursts at Doomguy. While the bane of Hell staggered back, he didn't look too bothered by the gunshots either as they left only scratches at best.

Both marched towards each other, firing their respective handguns and simply tanking through the bullets. At a certain distance, Doomguy seemed to mentally say "screw this" and promptly ditched the handgun, swapping it out for his chaingun and unleashing rapid-fire at Robocop.

One could imagine his disdain, though, when the savior of Detroit continued marching through the bullets. Deciding to push his luck, Doomguy continued raining hell on him.

Inside Robocop's visored helmet, a visual scan was being conducted far faster than any normal human brain could function. His targeting system already indicated that the chaingun had six barrels and that all were rotating to fire in turn.

Time to play a little dirty.

Robocop aimed his handgun, not at Doomguy, but at his gun. Two three-round-bursts of fire later and six bullets had lodged themselves in the chaingun's barrels. The gun stopped firing with the sound of a malfunctioning engine and Doomguy muttered a curse before hurling it aside.

Robocop had just re-aimed his gun when, in a split second, Doomguy took off far faster than even the best human sprinter. He had just turned a corner just as Robocop had predicted his path.

Murphy would have cursed if his programming didn't intervene.

Doomguy managed to reach an alleyway between the two buildings, then cursed himself for a bit. What was this tinman made of? Robocop, on the other hand, still searched for the bloodthirsty space marine. So far, he was drawing a blank.

"Do you plan to hide from me forever?" Robocop called out, to make sure Doomguy heard him loud and clear.

Turned out that his message was heard loud and clear.

"Not for long, metalhead!" Doomguy yelled out, whipping out his rocket Launcher and started firing at him.

The air soon became rich with explosions as one slammed into Robocop's back, making him stagger forward. He turns to see Doomguy moving back and forth like a serpent, firing rockets all the way.

Robocop was not impressed by the fact that Doomguy wasn't taking the time to aim properly. Robocop, steadfast and practically unmovable, stayed on his path to Doomguy. Every so often, he would fire a few bullets to actually nail a few of them out of the air. Each exploded in a blossom of flame and superheated gas.

The hail of missiles continued as Robocop closed the distance to Doomguy. About halfway across the distance, a rocket nearly collided with his face. A simple tilt to the side and he seemed to avoid it. At the same time, though, he reached up with mind-boggling reflexes and grabbed the rocket right out of the air. For a brief second, it was just Robocop holding the rocket, which was still attempting to go forward, its thrusters hissing like a mad cobra.

With a casual throw, Robocop hurled it back at Doomguy, who cursed before darting to his side. He could outrun his own rockets with ease, yet he was caught completely off-guard by this guy who did what no other monster ever dared to do.

Doomguy tucked the launcher away in his warp-pack, then actually crossed the distance between him and Robocop and began slugging him with a set of spiked brass knuckles. While he could tell it wasn't really hurting Robocop, he COULD see that he was jarring him and keeping him from aiming properly.

Robocop staggered back again as Doomguy smacked him across the jaw, the impact of the spikes on the side of his face creating sparks. Robocop eventually raised a hand and caught Doomguy's fist in his iron grip, then aimed his handgun with his free hand only to see Doomguy backhand it away, then wrench free of his grip.

With a snarl, Doomguy pulled out his trusted chainsaw and, with the roar of an engine, slammed the whirling blade down on Robocop's shoulder. With a shower of sparks and Doomguy's surprisingly superhuman strength, Robocop actually bent to a knee for a brief moment.

Moment, as mentioned before, was brief for he flexed his right hand and a long, lethal-looking spike (that was actually a data jack) burst from between his middle and ring knuckles. One thrust later and the data spike lodged itself in Doomguy's exposed bicep.

Recoiling in pain, Doomguy backed off, then pulled his trusted pump-action shotgun and blasted Robocop point-blank with it. The robotic enforcer actually staggered back a considerable distance.

Doomguy continued spamming Robocop with his boomstick until he had the cop backed into the hood of a car. Re-equipping himself with his rocket launcher, he aimed behind Robocop.

"Adios, tin man!" he snapped, then fired.

The car behind Robocop went up in a blast of fire, the blaze engulfing Robocop completely.

Doomguy, believing that the tinman died in the burning wreck, turned to leave, all while showing every hint of satisfaction.

That is, until the sound of rocket engines reached his ears. Turning sharply, he saw Robocop emerge from the wreckage of the car and fly into the air like an angel. The source of the engines turned out to be a jetpack that adorned his back.

"Good news, scum..." Robocop said, coolly, then took aim with his ultimate weapon, the Cobra Assult Cannon. "You have gone from 'arrest' to 'death penalty'."

One "bang" and an explosion later and the shot from the cannon exploded just in front of Doomguy. The blast sent him hurdling backwards. After shaking the cobwebs from his head, Doomguy took off with that inhuman speed and Robocop took chase from the skies.

The vehicles around Doomguy exploded in chunks of metal and blossoms of flame as he raced down the streets. Occasionally, he'd try taking a shot at the airborne cyborg, but with that jetpack, Robocop far exceeded him in speed and maneuverability.

Doomguy decided there and then to simply scrap bullets and whipped out his plasma cannon. He aimed up into the air and fired a series of blue, pulsating spheres. Robocop weaved around the attacks and another car suffered the fate of being blown to smithereens before Doomguy decided to bring out the big guns.

Whipping out his trusted BFG 9000, Doomguy fired a giant ball of plasma up at Robocop. He'd like to see the tinman dodge THIS.

Robocop had chosen, at that time, to dive down at Doomguy like a falcon, but when the space marine fired his BFG 9000, Robocop was so shocked that only a desperate roll saved him from getting blown to smithereens by a giant sphere of green plasma.

Just one problem. While Robocop dodged the worst of the attack, the sphere collided with the side of a building and released trace rays that slammed into Robocop's back. With the jetpack sparking and sputtering, Robocop fell a few stories to the ground and skidded when he hit, the jetpack ripping free of his body and flying off to who-knows-where.

Robocop quickly reached with his right hand and actually removed his left. At the same time, a compartment opened in his back, which he reached into and pulled out an odd gun of sorts: one equipped with a typical gun barrel, a rocket turret, and a tube of sorts at the bottom. After a quick moment, he fixed the odd gun his arm and aimed it at the berserk space marine.

Doomguy, low on plasma energy, decided to swap out his BFG 9000 for his double-barrel death-dealer Super Shotgun and charged Robocop again. The cyborg, though, had a reach advantage and rained a hail of bullets on him from his now-weaponized left arm.

Doomguy actually grunted in pain as one of those bullets actually pierced his Mega Armor and leaked blood onto his chest. He had to find something, and FAST.

Luckily, for him, two spheres he found nearby may have been just what he needed. One was green, skull-like, and had blazing-red eyes. The other was blue, deathly, and zombie-like with empty sockets for eyes.

PERFECT.

Robocop saw Doomguy move and actually pinpointed where he was headed, firing an anti-tank rocket at his supposed future location. He had underestimated Doomguy's speed yet again, for Doomguy almost casually strode past it and acquired both spheres, the twin objects seeming to faze into his body.

Robocop's internal scanner sensed trouble. A strange energy shield had just encompassed his opponent and his injuries appeared to have healed over significantly.

Willing to test something out, Robocop aimed his weapon arm again and fired a three-round burst fire at Doomguy. His theory was proven correct when the bullets ricocheted off him.

Doomguy turned, then took his shotgun and began firing at Robocop. The spreading range of his super shotgun was so ridiculous that Robocop felt the scattershot from almost fifty yards down.

Robocop's scanner indicated that the energy field was slowly dying down, but when it did, his opponent was most likely at full health thanks to those power-ups. He would have to hit him with the biggest thing he had when Doomguy was close enough.

Robocop needed to get Doomguy's mental defense down as well as his physical shields; make it look like he knew nothing of it when, in fact, he was setting the stage. Doomguy quickly closed the distance between the two and fired his super shotgun again, jarring Robocop. The cyber-officer reacted by re-aiming his weapon arm and a burst of flame flew out at Doomguy, completely blocking him from sight.

"Resisting arrest, assaulting an officer, murder of innocents and other officers..." the bruised Robocop called off the crimes Doomguy did minutes ago to him, "Your criminal streak ends now!"

"I don't give a crap, tinman!" Doomguy shouted to Robocop, the flames parting on impact with the field around his body, "Take your best shot!"

Robocop mentally smirked. Just as the flames ran dry, Doomguy's invincibility had just worn off. He was point-blank and so certain that he would win that Robocop had him right where he wanted him.

"Alright, then." Robocop calmly replied, "Challenge accepted."

A compartment swung open in Robocop's right leg and, just below where he would holster his handgun was a circular disk-like object. Acting fast, Robocop took it in his free hand and threw it at Doomguy, the object latching onto his chest.

Inside of Robocop's helmet, a power indicator lit up, quickly followed by a mental command.

POWER LEVEL: 10 (MAXIMUM)

ACTIVATING RAMBOLTS

The concrete beneath Robocop's feet cracked as two large spikes on each of his soles slammed hard into the ground to anchor him in place. It was a precaution of what was to come.

Doomguy looked down in confusion as to what this device was supposed to do and why the ground beneath Robocop suddenly cracked. Then he looked up and saw Robocop hold up a detonation device and realized that his challenge of letting Robocop take his best shot was, literally, going to blow up in his face.

Doomguy screamed in terror just as Robocop's thumb flexed to push the button.

KA-BOOOOM!

It was as though a building-busting bomb had gone off on their exact location. Whatever was within fifty feet had been hit with the pulse wave...including Robocop and Doomguy.

Difference was that one of them survived.

Robocop fell to a knee, then looked up to see that bits and pieces of Doomguy were falling from the sky like scarlet rain. Robocop nodded, then took his Auto-9 pistol, twirled it nimbly around his finger a few times, then holstered it in his leg.

Another day, another criminal put down.

K.O.!!!

(In Robocop's screen, he marches off to recharge while Doomguy's screen has his helmet fall to the ground with the visor cracked)

Ray: Well, you get what you asked for, really.

James: Early on, it seemed Doomguy had an upper hand. He definitely owned the speed advantage and had a few more weapons to choose from.

Ray: However, it doesn't help much when a good portion of your weapons have little effect on Robocop's armor (handgun, chaingun, Unmaker).

James: Plus, Robocop is not the blood-crazed berserker that Doomguy is and knows when to approach a situation strategically. Doomguy, on the other hand, rushes in guns blazing.

Ray: And Robocop has simply survived more situations that would certainly kill Doomguy, such as point-blank hi-explosives. Looks like Doomguy was Doomed after all

James: The winner is Robocop.
