“I can't believe we're finally doing this!” Boomstick said in a exciting tone.

“You sound... a bit excited about this than I thought you would be?” Wiz said.

“Are you kidding? THIS IS AWESOME!!!” Boomstick replied, loudly.

“Well, looks like we won't be hearing any complaints from him in this episode.” Kiryu guesses.

“No, we won't.” Wiz agreed.

“Well then, let's begin.” Kiryu said.

“While many could argue or debate about them, there's only one undeniable truth that they both share.” Wiz said.

“DINOSAURS AND DRAGONS ARE F***ING AWESOME!!!” Boomstick shouted.

“Indeed, Boomstick. And today we're pitting two of these prehistoric and mythical characters; head-to-head. But in this match, we'll only be focusing on their natural abilities, meaning: No armor, no magic artifacts, and no human or pony interference. Just a good old fashion one-on-one duel to the death.” Kiryu stated.

“Blue, the last surviving raptor of Jurassic World.” Wiz introduced the first combatant.

“And Ember, the Dragonlord of the Dragons Lands.” Boomstick introduced the second combatant.

“He's Wiz, he's Boomstick, and I'm Kiryu.” Kiryu said

“And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skill to find out would would win, a DEATH BATTLE.” Wiz added.

BLUE

“A long time ago, dinosaurs had ruled the world. The age of man would come several thousands, maybe millions of years later, and giant lizards would walk the earth. These were the first dominant species before man. And the time they lived in was peaceful, thriving, and free of pollution.” Wiz said.

“Then every single one of them died.” Boomstick stated. Then the screen shows a meteor colliding into the earth, which kicked off the extinction of the dinosaurs. “Well, I guess all good things can't last, right?”

“It would take thousands of years for a new dominant species to enter the world, and this would come in the form of humanity. The two legged creatures with opposable thumbs and the abilities to survive.” Kiryu said.

“And you know what happened at that point. Literally, it's all history. We advanced, we killed each other, we sorta fucked up the planet as a whole. Man, we kinda suck, honestly.” Boomstick exclaimed.

“Though the destruction of their planet and their own civilizations wasn't enough. For the humans, so instead they decided to try and play god. They decided that they were going to bring back a long dead race. They were going to bring back... the dinosaurs.” Wiz stated.

“So some old guy with way too much money on his hands decided that he wanted to bring back the dinosaurs, which...he did! And so he did anything a sane person would do, put them all in a simulated habitat and let people stare at them!” Boomstick explained.

“And this dinosaur exhibit was called...Jurassic Park.” Wiz said. Then the Jurassic Park Theme played in the background relive the moment. It plays for a few seconds before a needle scratch, then the music stops.

“But then everything went to shit.” Boomstick bluntly stated.

“As it turns out, keeping dinosaurs in pens and not having...any real way of stopping them if they go wild, is a really bad idea.” Kiryu said.

“Yeah, no kidding!” Boomstick replied in agreement.

"After a big incident with the dinosaurs escaping from captivity, and causing havoc among the general populace, the Jurassic Park would, of course, have to shut down." Wiz said

"And then a few years later or whatever, they decided to do the same thing again, except this time it wasn't Jurassic Park. They put a shiny new name on it and called it Jurassic World!" Boomstick added.
"And unlike the previous park, Jurassic World succeeded where it's ancestor failed; opened to the entire world and became the #1 popular family theme park for 10 straight years. In the park, they had all sorts of attractions, including some of the originals like the Brachiosaurus, Triceratops, the T-Rex herself, and... velociraptors." Kiryu explained.

"You all remember them, they're the speedy dinosaurs that killed Samuel Jackson in the first Jurassic Park. But this time there's no longer three of them... now there's four! And the park decided to name them." Boomstick stated.

"These raptors were called the... Raptor Squad, of course... And all of them were female and each of them had their own unique name: there's Echo, Charlie, Delta, and last; but not least... Blue." Wiz said.

Background

"Born and raised in captivity, Blue was like every other dinosaur in Jurassic World. She was genetically altered and hatched in a science lab, possibly with no recollection of the world she had awoken into. However, Blue was born along side her siblings in the lab, so Blue wasn't isolated at birth." Kiryu explained the beginnings of Blue's life.

"And the best part of all, Blue and her sisters were trained and raised by none other than... Starlord!" Boomstick stated.

"Uh, not quite, Boomstick. But, Blue was raised by a man called Owen Grady, who was-" Wiz replied, but was then interrupted by Boomstick

"Starlord in disguise, of course!" He said.

"Able to imprint himself onto the velociraptors in order to train them. He was recognized as the alpha of the pack and was able to make them stop attacking people." Kiryu explained how Owen managed to train the raptors.

"Which was all part of the park's plan. Cause handling raptors were a rough job; however, Owen managed to finally pull it off.... well slightly, but at least we'll give him credit. Also after battling it out with one of her siblings, Echo; Blue became the Beta of the Raptor Squad." Wiz stated.

"Damn, this is like two kids fighting for their daddy's attention and love; only way brutal and vicious. Anyways, she has the DNA of Black-Throated Monitor Lizard to fill in the gaps of her Velociraptor DNA. This gives her her massive size, scales, and iridescent blue coloring." Boomstick added.

"Indeed Boomstick. But while Blue was deemed a average velociraptor... She's really something much more than that." Wiz proclaimed.

Powers & Abilities

"During her training with Owen, Blue was taught in the field of Search and Rescue, which allows her to track prey much easier than other raptors. Not to mention, Blue learned other methods even without Owen's training. Such as tactics in stealth, plan perfect ambushes for her prey, and she even learn how to adapt and strategize in desperate situations. She's one smart gal." Kiryu stated.

"Indeed Kiryu, and that's what made Blue so unique. After her birth, Blue had shown extreme intelligence at a young age; she even learned how to respond to Owen's commands and even learned how to feel emotions like humans do, such as: interests, concern, compliance, and most of all... empathy. Possibly more so than mankind could ever be." Wiz said.

"Yeah, Yeah, compassion and everything.... But that's not what makes this raptor so freakin' deadly. She's got powerful jaws - which had very sharp teeth - with a bite force that is similar to the Spotted Hyena; which is about 1,100 PSI. Also, she's got razor sharp claws and a sickle claw that can tear at flesh easily. Hell, they also capable of cutting and ripping a steel fence - which is what the raptors did in the original park. Also, she's freaking strong! Like how she tossed the Indoraptor out of a bedroom window; and that thing weights about a ton!" Boomstick explains Blue's physique.

"Not to mention, Blue has proven that she is a strong survivor and fighter. Like how after 4 years since the incident which brought down Jurassic World, Blue had thrived on Isla Nublar all on her own. Without the aid of humans or the aid of her sisters, which were all killed by the Indominus Rex." Wiz added.

"Rest In Peace, you wonderful Dino-badasses." Boomstick said while shedding a few tears.

Feats

"Not only is she smart and deadly, Blue is also pretty durable. She can take on and take hits from dinosaurs that were bigger than her, even taking on the genetic hybrids like: the Indominus Rex and the Indoraptor. Like the time when the indominus Rex knocked her to the side with enough force to break a stone pillar; and a few scenes later, she got up like it was nothing." Wiz stated.

"But that is child's play when Blue once tanked a lab explosion while she was escaping. By measuring the size of the blast and calculate the destruction. The explosion must have equaled to 40 lbs of TNT." Kiryu stated also.

"Dang, she's tough. But let's not forget that Blue is also really fast, as it was said in the movie; Blue can run up to 40 MPH. But they might have miscalculated that, when in a few scenes later; Blue is shown to keep up and even surpass the speed of a motorcycle! The model of this bike is a Triumph Scrambler, which has a top speed of 135 MPH." Boomstick added.

"Blue has even defeated genetic Dino hybrids, highly trained soldiers, and has evaded capture for 4 years. Thats a lot of impressive feats for a raptor." Wiz said.

"No matter who or what she goes up against, Blue would always remain vigilant and fight to the bitter end." Kiryu remarked.

"SCREEEEEECH!!!!!" Blue screeched.

EMBER

"The Land of Equestria, a magical land where ponies dwell. Filled with lush valleys, forests, and rainbows; a place where harmony truly thrives in." Wiz said.

"But in some other land, that was found on the other side of the Celestia Sea, there was nothing like what Equestria has." Boomstick added.

"This is the Dragon Lands, the vast volcanic wasteland that was habited by Equestria's most feared creatures; the Dragons, ferocious flying, fire-breathing beasts that are the complete opposite of the ponies of Equestria." Kiryu stated.

"Yeah, they're way more badass than the huggable, friendly ponies. And the dragons are not very social with one another, so they keep to themselves and they fight with each other a lot." Boomstick said

"But while the dragons are less-sociable and greedy, it doesn't mean that they can't be bossed around. For thousands of years, the dragons were ruled by a Dragon Lord; who commands all the dragons with an iron fist. A leader that the dragons have to obey, unless they want to feel their wrath. The last dragon that took the title was Dragon Lord Torch, the biggest and strongest of all the dragons; however, the one thing that he could not command over... was Time itself." Wiz explained.

"So in the final moments of his reign, Torch summoned all the dragons to his domain and let them to compete for the title of DragonLord in what is known as the Gauntlet of Fire. And all of them were happy of this and they all fiercely competed for the title; however, only one of them can have the title and the only way to do that was to claim a dragon artifact that is called the Bloodstone Scepter. But in the end, only one of them claimed the scepter and the title and that was Torch's daughter; Ember." Kiryu stated.

Background

"While we know nothing of her past, Ember lived her entire life in the Dragon Lands. And as you can say, she's sort of the rebellious daughter type. And we've seen that sort of act when she was not allowed to compete in the Gauntlet of Fire for the title of Dragon Lord. So what did she do... Well she placed on a disguise - by painting her scales and putting on armor to conceal her looks - and competed in the gauntlet." Wiz said.

"Damn, talk about bad parenting on Torch's part. Anyway, throughout the event, Ember tries her very best to get to the scepter first, but she failed her first attempt and almost gotten herself killed; like how she was knocked out and fell into a lake where she almost drown. Luckily, she was saved by none other than Spike; who was also competing in the Gauntlet of Fire in order to prevent his arch rival Garble from becoming the next Dragon Lord." Boomstick stated.

"After saving her life, Spike tries to form an alliance with her so that they can both reach the scepter. While she was refusing his proposal at first, Ember reluctantly agreed and both of them worked together throughout the Gauntlet of Fire. And in the end, Spike claimed the scepter and - at the moment - became the next Dragon Lord." Kiryu said.

"Until he, stupidity, gave up the title and handed it to Ember. I mean, what the f%#@ dude! You could have been living the life of luxury and power, but instead you gave that up! WHAT THE ACTUAL F%#@ IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Boomstick shouted in rage and disbelief.

"Understandably affected by his act, Ember sought to changed the greedy ways of all the dragons and bring them to a new belief... which is the aspect of friendship. Of course it was a struggle at first." Wiz stated.

"Cause apparently, competition and greed is part of the dragons' nature; so when they tried the friendship thing out, they eventually keep getting into more fights." Boomstick explained.

"Like a bunch of children who fight over candy, or a group of idiotic boys who fight over something they can't agree on." Kiryu added, which then caught both her co-hosts's attentions.

"What did you say?" Wiz and Boomstick asked.

"Uh... Nothing." Kiryu replied, sheepishly. Hoping that they don't realize what she meant.

Power & Abilities

"Being a dragon, Ember has all the abilities and features of the dragon world; she has tough scales that can withstand the heat of lava, can lift boulders that weight about a ton, and she can breathe fire! But her fire is no joke, it's powerful enough to obliterate boulders." Boomstick explained Ember's abilities.

"Not to mention, she also has her wings, allowing her to fly across distances. And thanks to a Discord user name HaloKnight; we're given information that Ember could fly at 60 MPH - even reaching 100 if she wanted to." Wiz said.

"Also Ember has powerful jaws, since in the My Little Pony series; dragons were known to eat gems. Which in real life are pretty hard to scratch and damage." Boomstick added.

"Also Ember is an effective leader, capable of getting other dragons to obey her and do want she wants them to do; and we all know how difficult these dragons are at listening." Kiryu mentioned.

"Not only that, Ember is also has more brain power than all the other dragons; not like Einstein-level smart, but pretty smart. So that meant she can trick any predictable opponent and use it to her advantage." Wiz stated.

"Ember is beyond badass." Boomstick proclaimed.

Feats

"Over her first years as Dragon-Lord, Ember had help the Dragon Lands made alliances with other kingdoms such as Equestria, The Changeling Hive, Yakyakistan, Griffonstone, and Mount Aris/Seaquestria." Wiz explained Ember's accomplishments.

"Also she had also gain more friends along the way; such as Thorax, King of the Changelings. Also she has brought the dragons to a better society, no longer greedy and fighting; united under the strength of friendship." Kiryu stated.

"Urrrrgh, that sounds more lame. Either way, after all her accomplishments and the challenges she faced; Ember will always prove that she is the most badass Dragon-Land in the history of Equestria." Boomstick added.

"I don't care what my dad said! I'll show him and every dragon who thinks I'm just a little princess; There are better things than being big and strong!" Ember said.

“Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.

"Ahhhh, I love it when you say that." Kiryu whispered silently.

“What did you say?” Wiz asked in confusion.

“NOTHING!!” Kiryu replied with total anxiety in her voice.

“Oooook...” Boomstick said, while feeling like the moment got awkward. “It's time for a DEATH BATTLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEE!!!!!“

Flying in the sky above, observing the Dragon Lands below, Ember was eyeing anything that'll excite her day. After all, she hasn't got anything better to do except sitting on a throne, giving orders and demands, and always disputing small conflicts between dragons; although, she had gotten into the conflicts a few times and won.

She has been dying of boredom and needed something to focus her mind on, so she decided to go on a morning flight around the Dragon Lands; hoping that it'll ease her boredom. After what is to be, several hours of flying, she then spots something moving on the ground; just along the borders of the Dragon Lands - which was made up of a thick forest and vast plains.

She lowers herself closer to the ground to get a better look. Once she got closer, she sees Blue the Raptor, moving along the trees of the forest. Scavenging for a meal, until she was able to catch a raccoon wandering nearby and devoured it in a few gulps and tearing.

Ember, who was unsure what kind of dragon is the raptor, dived towards the ground and lands on her feet and fist - which cause an indent in the earth. Ember's entrance catches Blue's ears and the raptor turns to face the Dragon-Lord, snarling as if she’s a threat.

“Hey! What are you doing next to the borders of the Dragon Lands? You don’t look like any dragon I’ve seen before? So I demand that you state your business here or leave!” Ember spoke in a demanding voice; however, Blue was not intimidated.

“SCREEEECH!!!!” Blue screeched in reply, probably stating that she was not intimidated by the dragon’s threat and wishes to be alone.

After hearing Blues’s reply, Ember flares up her wings and gets into a battle stance.

“I am the Dragon Lord of this land! Either you listen to my command... or I’ll make you.” Ember shouted at the raptor with a dead serious tone.

Blue ignores Ember’s commands, hissing in reply, and she also gets into a stance; preparing to charge and pounce on the dragon. Barring her sharp teeth and claws as a display of intimidation.

Ember takes this as a challenge and instead smirked with confidence. “I was hoping you were gonna say that.” She said.

FIGHT!!!

Soon the young Dragon Lord makes the first move, flying towards the raptor with incredible speed. Blue does the same, running towards the charging dragon with her own impressive speed.

The two later meet at the middle, with Blue leaping at Ember and then pounces her to the ground with her weight.

Blue ferociously claws at the dragon, but luckily Ember’s scales were enough to take the attacks. The Dragon-Lord uses her legs and kicks the raptor off of her. Then she raises her fist and then lands a hard blow to Blue’s abdomen, sending her flying towards the ground

Blue roughly lands into the dirt, but she eventually recovered quickly from the counter-strike and faces her for with an angry snarl.

Ember find it impressive and shocking that the raptor could tank her punch. “Okay, you seem tough.” Ember said with an impressed tone, but the she smirks afterwards. “But can you handle the heat?”

Then without warning, Ember unleashes her fire breath at Blue, who miraculously jumped out of the way and then leaps towards the dragon with her claws out to slash at flesh.

Ember flaps her wings and manages to get out of the way as Blue lands onto the ground and quickly turns to her foe. Ember lands on her feet and then runs to the raptor, raising her fists to deliver another punch. But Blue somehow notices the attack coming and immediately took a step to the side before the young Dragon-Lord could land the blow.

Then with swift movement, Blue then catches Embers arm as it was in motion, with her mouth. Ember grunted in pain as the raptor's teeth dug in; even though it couldn't penetrate the dragon's scales fully, but it was enough to inflict pain. Then Blue uses her jaws and then tosses Ember with enough force to break a nearby tree in half.

Ember immediately recovers from the attack as Blue attempts to pounce on her. The dragon sees the attack coming and jukes out of the way, grabbing the raptor's tail as Blue landed. Ember then pulls on the dinosaur's tail, spun around and then flings the raptor a mile away from the area; further deep into the woods.

Ember then uses her wings and takes off into the air, hovering over the forest, searching for her enemy. She search for a few minutes before seeing an opening in the forest, where a couple of branches and twigs were on the ground as if something had crashed there.

The young Dragon-Lord takes this as a sign that the raptor was in the area and then lowers down to the ground to inspect the crash landing. However as she got closer, she sees that Blue was nowhere in sight. Not only that, as she got a good look at the broken tree branches; she realizes that the branches were not broken by any forceful impact... they look to be clawed off judging by the the claw marks on them.

Now knowing that she was baited into a trap, Ember becomes fully alert; expecting the raptor to reveal herself if she decides to strike.

And so she did, when out of nowhere, Blue runs out of the bushes and then claws at the Dragon-Lord's body and then runs back into the bushes. Ember grunts from the impact and then tries to locate the raptor again; however, Blue returns again for another hit-and-run attack. As Blue continues the attack 2 more times, Ember's scales began to give and a few of them fell of her body.

Soon the Dragon-Lord becomes extremely upset and then unleashes her dragon-fire on the forest around her. Blue immediately runs out of hiding, escaping the fire while have a few burns on her skin. As the raptor was forced into the open, Ember smirks and flares up her wings for take off.

"Now I got you." She said with confidence, as she flies towards the raptor.

Blue sees the dragon coming towards her and runs in the other direction, with Ember following in pursuit. The chase was long and epic, as Ember continues to spew fire balls at the raptor, as Blue avoids the attacks below. While Ember was effectively keeping up with Blue, but the raptor was a little faster than her; keeping her distance from the dragon.

As the long chase arrived to an area with small water fall, Ember dive bombs toward Blue, tackling her as they rolled onto the ground and into the small pool that was next to the water fall.

After a few second, the two resurface from the water and duke it out in close combat. Ember throws hard punches at the raptor's head and side; while Blue repeatedly slashes at the dragon's body and delivers a jump kick which stumbles Ember back.

Ember then flares her wings again, attempting to take the advantage of the battle in the air; however, Blue instantly realizes what the dragon was about to do and doesn't want to give her the edge. Before Ember could take off into the sky, Blue quickly pounces on her from behind and then bites into Ember's left wing; breaking it with one chomp.

Ember screams in pain as she tail smacks the raptor off of her back. The Dragon-Lord expects her wing, seeing that it was broken; meaning that she could not fly. She turned to her foe, growling with anger. Blue does the same.

The two blue reptilian combatants charge at one another and proceeded to tear/beat into one another. Ember continues to punch and wrestle with the raptor, while Blue claws at Ember's chest and soon her face; attempting to find any weak spots.

Soon Ember manages to gain the upper hand, grabbing at Blue's tail again, and then tosses the raptor into a tall boulder with enough force to crack it. Blue slowly gets up from the attack as Ember prepares to unleash her fire breath again. Blue notices the attack and then stares at the water she was standing in; then the clever raptor had an idea.

With a swift movement, Blue uses her tail to create a big splash of water towards the Dragon-Lord; with some of the water entering Ember's mouth, extinguishing the fire inside her mouth. Ember coughs out the water from the mouth and then tries to spew fire at the raptor, but suddenly realizes that she couldn't, her fire was extinguished by the water splash that Blue threw at her. she could not breath fire at the moment.

Blue then jumps onto Ember, who saw the attack coming and grabbed her before she could pounce on her. The two fell onto the dry edge of the pond and continue to wrestle with one another.

During the struggle, Ember manages to grab Blue's right arm and then breaks it, causing the raptor to screech in pain. The raptor locks eyes with the dragon as Ember smiles at the raptor's pained expression.

"Not so tough now, huh." She taunted.

Blue growls in anger until she notices something; an exposed spot on Ember's neck, her scales must have fallen off while the two were locked in combat. The raptor gives off a sly smile on her face, which puzzles the Dragon-Lord. Without warning, Blue swipes at Ember's face with her left claw; scratching the dragon's eye and causing her to stumble a bit. But then seizes this opportunity and then reels up her left hind leg; and with her sickle toe claw, she aims and punctures it into the exposed spot on Ember's neck. The Dragon-Lord squirms in pain as Blue sinks her sickle claw deeper; soon the life in the dragons eyes began to fade and her body became limbed.

Blue then tosses Ember's corpse off of her and then gets up from the ground. As she inspects the Dragon-Lord's lifeless body, Blue then rears her head towards the sky and cries out her victory screech.

"SCREEEEEEEEEEECH!!!!!"

KO!!!

”That was the most epic fight I have ever seen in my life!” Boomstick shouted in excitement.

“Indeed, this was by far the closest match-up we ever had on Death Battle. Blue and Ember were certainly matched with one another. Both of them countering blow for blow in this fight with both of them struggling to gain an edge over the other.” Wiz stated.

“But while Ember may have held a few physical advantages, Blue has proven time and time again that she can take a hit. Her battles with the likes of the Indominus Rex and the Indoraptor proved that pretty well.” Kiryu explained.

“But this battle was tricky to decide; Blue and Ember were pretty dead equal in strength and their durabilities proved that they couldn't hurt one another with brute force alone.” Boomstick added.

“However, Blue held the speed advantage; while Ember could fly at 100 MPH, Blue was fast enough to keep up with a motorcycle driving at 135 MPH. About 35 miles more faster than Ember.” Wiz stated the differences between the fighters.

{Blue's Speed: 135 MPH ≠ Ember's Speed: 100 MPH}

“Damn, that's fast.” Boomstick said.

“But speed wasn't the deciding factor of the fight; in fact, what gave Blue the edge in this match-up; was her intelligence. After all, for her entire life, Blue was trained to test her intelligence and she's more effective in strategizing and coordinating her attacks in any situation. Even setting up ambushes and analyzing for any enemy weaknesses; which was Blue's plan from the start, she knew that she could not pass through Ember's tough scales, so her only method was to prolong the battle so that she can spot any weaknesses. And luckily, she found it in the nick of time.” Kiryu explained.

“And while Ember is smarter than all the other dragons; however, she doesn't really rely on strategy in her fights. For years, dragons were pretty much used to having brute strength and being dominant, as their main advantage.” Boomstick added.

“Also Blue had a much strong biting force than Ember. Although, gems like diamonds are extremely tough; however, research has stated that diamonds can be shattered by an ordinary hammer. And in the MLP series, Ember's bite was strong enough to bite into a gem pillar, by measuring the distance at the pillars width; we can estimate that Ember has the bite force of 1,067 PSI. And when compared to Blue's bite force, it's nowhere near as close.” Wiz stated.

{ Blue's Bite Force: 1,100 PSI ≠ Ember's Bite Force: 1,067 PSI }

“Damn, those are some really powerful bites.” Boomstick replied.

“While Ember certainly was a difficult opponent to take on, but Blue's speed and superior intelligence gave her the perfect tools to take out the young Dragon-Lord.” Wiz said.

“You can say that Ember was beaten by a "Claw" in the fight.” Boomstick punned.

“The winner is Blue the Raptor.“ Kiryu said.
