Cool minds or hot powers... which of these can topple the other? Out of all the six battles between the Mean and Deadly, this one may just be the most mismatched in terms of skillsets. Then again, sometimes you need a full-out slaughter to break up the monotony of close matches. I can't argue with that. Today, we're throwing the green Zeena into the battlefield. Joining her will be Havocwing, the Element of Fury. She's N and I'm F. He's W and I'm B. And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills... ... to find out who would win a Death Battle. ---Death Battle--- Havocwing -Clone of Fluttershy; Element of Fury -Has two emotions: sour and angry -Pyrokinesis: shoot fireballs, trail of wall fire, increase speed with a fiery jet, and become a living fireball -Fighting strategy: Leeroy Jenkins it -Can rhyme on a dime, survive a paradox like Wheatley, and show a little adorkableness toward her sisters -Has hair-trigger anger issues and swears every two to five sentences -Weakness: bunnies "Shut up, shut up, shut up!" So, F, I bet you like this character a lot. Really? How do you figure? Havocwing likes fire and heat and doesn't take trash talk from anypony. Eh... I'm not really that big into anger management cases that shoot fire at their problems. But... aren't you a...? Anyway, aren't we supposed to be introducing this girl to the audience? *sigh* Like the rest of the Mean Six, Havocwing is a clone of a bearer of Harmony. Her Element is Fury in opposition to her original's Element of Kindness. I don't know if I can really call it the opposite. I've witnessed firsthand the boiling anger of Fluttershy on a bad day. I thought my mane would catch on fire. Your mane is on fire. I meant more than usual. Ah. Like N was saying, Havocwing has the ability to control fire. Fireballs, fire trails, pyro jet boosts, flames shaped like your mother... you name it and she'll have a fire for it. The fire suits her attitude just fine because she could get angry if you just breathe wrong in her general direction. Of course her fury comes at the cost of some of her intelligence. While she's not as oblivious to her surroundings as Insipid, Havocwing is easily tripped up by Starlight Shadow's verbose vocabulary and finds it difficult to make long-term plans. Even so, she did claim the role as secondary leader of the team for a while. I wish she'd cut back on the *eff*ing language, though. There's younger children in her group for *eff* sake! N just stares at F for a while. What? N quickly shakes her head. In spite of being Fluttershy's opposing Element, she has shown small bits of kindhearted care towards her fellow clones as time went on. Red Velvet even commented that Havocwing has an extra soft spot for bunnies when no one is looking. Like Rainbow Dash and Tank! And when she wasn't busy trying to burn Fluttershy to the ground, she actually out-Iron Willed Iron Will with some rhyming assertive advice. "If somepony says you're scared of the dark, show them your bite is worse than your bark!" ---Death Battle--- Zeena -Only female member of the Deadly Six -Cool, calm, and collected -Has a tendency to look at her nails as more important than anything else -High physical strength, enhanced jump and flight capabilities -Has a bit of an ego complex -Weakness: getting a bad physical appearance "Well, I'd say you've got the right girl for the job!" This girl is the lean, green machine of the Deadly Six team. To make up for the lack of female members of these six Zeti, Zeena takes her feminine stereotype to eleven. She's constantly reconfirming the status of her painted nails, looking for praise, and even tried hitting on Sonic when she wasn't busy just... hitting Sonic. Careful, W. Your 'me' is showing. *sigh* Darn it, B. My work is a complete success! Her large ego may have some foundation. Aside from Master Zik, Zeena is one of the most intelligent members of her team. She's able to keep calm and collected under pressure and may even be the fastest flyer in the Deadly Six. Speaking of cool nature, Zeena really seems to like using snowmen to attack her enemies. Though, I question the wisdom behind standing on top of a giant snowy target when Sonic has a tendency to lock-on every single crushable foe in sight. In addition to being fast, her strength is stronger than her nimble appearance would let on. It's possible that she could lift the exact same kinds of things that the rest of her teammates could throw. That might be difficult to see, since she needs so many compliments just to get off her *ss and actually do something. "Gotta go! Call me!" ---Death Battle--- All right, the combatants are set. Let's settle this debate once and for all. It's time for a- Death Battle! ---Death Battle--- The door opens upon another room at the artificial headquarters for the Deadly Six. A red horny guy stomps in with rather loud footsteps. He approaches a figure that seems to be busy with a small jar of nail polish. "I noticed a distinct lack of your presence before Master Zik went off to deal with that new threat," comments the boss. The other figure mutters, "I wonder... should I stick with the pink? Maybe it's time to give cerulean a chance to glimmer?" "Come now," says the boss gently, "You're the smartest, fastest, and most devilish of us all." With each adjective, the other figure moans as if in deep pleasure. "Oh, yes..." "What do you say, Zeena?" asks the boss, "Would you go check on our belated members like only you can?" "Well, when you put it that way..." The nail polish gets closed. "Your taste in the right girl is as keen as ever." --- We cut to a completely different artificial base that looks nothing like the Deadly Six's headquarters. A certain void unicorn is tapping her hoof against the floor in irritation. Another pony flaps her wings and hovers just above. "What's wrong?" asks the pegasus. "Curaçao is missing," responds the little pony in charge. "Again?" spits the pegasus. "That *eff*ing mare is always hiding away from us." The unicorn gives her a look. "If you would permit me to conclude, Grayscale Force and Insipid are also further behind schedule than I had specifically demanded of them. There exists a possibility that they have been detained... or less fortunate." "What?! You mean they got killed?!" "It is too soon to speculate such a presumption," insists the unicorn. "We require a proposition, an intelligent action point." "I'm going in!" The pegasus rushes out the door, igniting the path that she flies along. "That is the absence of a clever objective!" shouts the little boss, though her recipient of the conversation is long gone. --- "Hey, you!" calls out the pegasus, "What have you done to them?" The green Zeti looks up from her standing point. "Well, that's something you don't see every day. What brings you around my neighborhood, little Pegasus?" "Don't act all innocent!" hollers the pony. "It only makes you look fishier. Now tell me what you did!" The response is rolled eyes. "I'll tell you what I haven't done: give my nails that new cerulean look. I'm starting to think pink is so last month." Fire literally streams out of the pegasus' ears. "That's it! I'll burn your *eff*ing face!" "Oh my," says the Zeti casually. "Looks like we've got a live wire here." "FIGHT!" Havocwing flies forward and extends her right hoof. A giant fireball is released and crackles through the air. Zeena sighs and stomps the snowy ground with her left foot. She quaintly spins around and kicks a large snowball up with her right foot. The balls of opposing elements crash into each other. A large steam cloud floats away from the few liquid droplets that fall to the ground. The hot-headed pegasus lets out a fuming breath before coming in low. She flies in a giant ring around the visible arena. A literal wall of fire appears along the exact path that she takes. Somehow defying the natural direction of heat, the snow directly below this wall of fire melts and reveals wet grass. However, there is still a lot of snow on the ground inside of this inferno ring. Zeena smiles slightly as she lifts a painted fingernail to point. Several small snowmen rise from the ground and slide around in front of her. Havocwing looks at them all in confusion. That is the case until one of the decorated snowballs jumps up and smacks into her side, causing her to flinch. Although that snowman breaks up upon contact and falls to the ground as debris, Havoc reacts by shivering violently. Havoc growls audibly before igniting an area all around herself. From both of her front hooves, she starts wildly punching and launching fireballs left and right. Several miss their targets, but all of the advancing snowmen melt or get knocked into smithereens by the flames that do hit. Meanwhile, Zeena starts pulling up a giant snowman as her ride. After the last little snowman is demolished, Havocwing lowers her personal fire levels and starts panting heavily. She turns around and is little more than pissed off at the sight of the giant snowman. Her own body emits fire on and around her in every conceivable direction. Soon, flames engulf the entire view of the screen. The cameraman runs off the set screaming due to being on fire. Through the blaze, the furious pegasus charges through the giant snow head. ... Is this supposed to be the Alaskan forest or a sauna? There's steam everywhere! Havocwing stands wobbly in the middle of the arena on top of a patch of scorched grass. Only a few scattered embers remain from her full-powered blast. A small green Zeti hovers down right in front of her. Zeena pokes the pony's forehead. The pony topples over as her eyes close. "Oh no! I broke a nail!" exclaims Zeena. "K.O.!" ---Death Battle--- I think we just made global warming! I... suppose so. Havocwing had the advantage in elemental strength. Her fire was more than hot enough to melt Zeena's arsenal composed of snow. She even had enough to obliterate the whole place with her. But with her attack first, ask questions never strategy, she depleted her resources far too early on in the battle. Yeah, blowing crap up and burning everything sounds cool, but that's not really going to work against someone that spreads out their resources and can move with almost equal speeds if the need arises. Although Zeena is less likely to battle, she does have the intelligence to wait back and see what her opponent is capable of before striking herself. Once Havocwing had revealed her entire arsenal, Zeena had what she needed to work around it. In the end, Havocwing was all burned out. The winner is Zeena. ---Death Battle--- Next time on Death Battle... ~Come on everypony, scream, scream, scream! Let your hearts fill with nightmares, nightmares!~ ---
