"WE'RE BAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!" Boomstick shouts, loudly.

"I think they get the picture, Boomstick," Wiz said.

"Hey, I just want the audience to know. They can't get enough of the entertainment we give them." Boomstick stated.

"Yes, we are very entertaining. And we aim to please." Kiryu responded.

"That's very true, Kiryu. Now let's get started." Wiz proclaimed.

"Sometimes we all have legacies to live up to and when it comes to legends, those are pretty big shoes to fill in," Wiz stated.

"Believe us, readers. We tried." Boomstick whispers to the audience.

"But for these two fighters, they follow their destinies and walk their paths of fate," Kiryu said.

"Din Djarin; the rouge Mandalorian from the Star Wars." Wiz introduced the first combatant.

"And Abyss Spike, the corrupted Shadow King of Equestria." Boomstick introduced the 2nd combatant.

"He's Wiz, she's Kiryu and I'm Boomstick!" He introduced himself and his fellow co-hosts.

"And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills. To find out who would win, a DEATH BATTLE!" Wiz said.

THE MANDALORIAN

"For thousands of years, the Jedi Knights were the peacekeepers of the galaxy and the Galactic Republic. An order of sorcerors who wields powerful energy that flows through all living things and everywhere in the universe; which is known as the Force," Wiz said.

"Yeah, these Jedi are pretty powerful; some could throw a fleet of star destroyers from planetary orbit, while some could keep a planet from going kaboom, while others can move black holes with a thought. Man, who could stand up to these guys?" Boomstick stated.

"Besides other force wielders like Sith Lords, there was one other group who had the guts to take on the Jedi, these were creed of warriors called Mandalorians," Kiryu explained.

"The Mandalorians were a proud group of fighters who lived in the heart of the battle. For many years, they would come into conflict with the Jedi Knights, only later to fight each other in a civil war, and soon fall to the merciless occupation of the Galactic Empire, which forced any remaining Mandalorians to go into hiding." Wiz said.

"Until after the fall of the Empire, the Mandalorians were now able to come out of hiding, but only one at a time. Since they swore secrecy from all across the galaxy, as a means to survive. They even took upon awesome careers such as bounty hunting to provide for their foundlings. While these were badass fighters who continue to be tales and myths, only one of them became a legend." Boomstick

A scene is shown from the first episode of the Disney Orginal series The Mandalorian, where the Mandalorian (Din Djarin) enters a bar with everyone inside staring at him in silence as he walks in.

BACKGROUND

• Full/real name: Din Djarin
• Age: In his 30's
• Height: 5'11"
• Weight: N/A
• Occupation: Bounty Hunter
• Dislikes: Droids and Imperials

"This is Din Djarin, or has everyone preferably called him; The Mandalorian. As a child, Djarin grew up in the treacherous times of the Clone Wars - which was the most memorable conflict in Star Wars history - and it wasn't before long until the war made it to his home village." Wiz explained about Mando's early life.

"Yeah, cause for some unknown reason, Separatist battle droids invaded and blow up the buildings in the village as they marched; killing everyone that was in the area, including his parents," Boomstick added.

"But fortunately for Djarin, he was saved and rescued by a Mandalorian terrorist organization known as "Death Watch". With his parents killed, his only family since then were the Mandalorians. Under their care and supervision, he quickly learned to accept their way of life and customs. He learned to fight, to kill, and survive, and he would soon earn his Mandalorian armor and since then, he's never taken off his helmet in front of any other living being, as the Tribe's code says that if he did, he would not be allowed to put it back on ever again." Kiryu stated.

"And with his training complete and receiving his armor, Djarin transformed into the badass that the galaxy remembers as the Mandalorian - or Mando for short - and that's all they call him by since he never told anybody his name. Hell, even he has forgotten his name. But unfortunately for Djarin, he graduated Mandalorian High School a little too late, just in time for the rise of the Empire." Boomstick said.

"Becoming a bounty hunter like so many other Mandalorians, Din's name was only ever used by members of the Tribe, and his identity was known to only a few. He worked for the Bounty Hunters Guild and soon became its legendary member, collecting reward after reward from the most profitable jobs." Wiz explained Djarin's career.

"And eventually, his skills and experience were put to the test when he takes up a job from an Imperial client. He was to recover a mysterious asset and return it to the officer; alive, though he would soon learn that the object in question was a mere child." Kiryu said.

"And this was no ordinary child, this was a force-sensitive child and is the same species as Jedi master, Yoda! And so the Star Wars fandom dubbed this cute little guy as... Baby Yoda." Boomstick proclaimed.

"That's... Kinda too easy of a name to give." Wiz questioned.

"Hey, it's a fitting name. Just go with it!" Boomstick rebutted.

"Anyway, after delivering the child to the client and receiving a complete upgrade with his armor. Djarin was nearly close to leaving for another job but soon felt a deep feeling in his soul; guilt and worry." Kiryu proclaimed.

"So he decided to rescue Baby Yoda from the client... While beating the shit out of stormtroopers along the way! While using his badass weapons and gear known throughout the galaxy." Boomstick said with excitement.

EQUIPMENT & ARSONAL

• Mandalorina Armor

  • Mostly composed of Beskar steel, with his Shoretrooper gauntlets and durasteel greaves being the only non-Beskar pieces
  • Completely immune to blaster fire and can also resist heavier gunfire, though Mando himself still suffers from the kinetic energy of the blast
  • His helmet can tune in to the scope of his rifle, allowing him to hear distant conversations, is capable of infra-red vision (even through walls), and can trace recent footsteps.
  • Has a flashlight attachment on the right side of the helmet

• Mandalorian Vambraces

  • Fibrecord Whip Launcher
  • Flamethrower
  • Whisling Birds
  • Sticky Bombs
  • Flash Charges

• Heavy Blaster Pistol

• Amban Sniper Rifle

• Vibor-Knife

• Beskar Spear

• Jetback

"As all Mandalorians, Djarin has a bunch of tools and equipment for any outcome in a fight. His vambraces come with a fibrecord whip launcher which allows him to catch and ensnare targets, even be used to climb vertical surfaces. And like Jango and Boba Fett, his vambraces also have mounted flamethrowers that can spray fire in a 5-meter cone; and easily melt through Stormtrooper armor. Also, his vambraces are mounted with Whistling Birds; small guided projectiles, which hone in on targets in the vicinity before killing them with miniature explosions. " Wiz explained.

"But if he wants a bigger explosion, he's equipped with sticky bombs that can attach to any surface. A single one is capable of obliterating walls and destroying the head of an AT-ST walker. Used two of them to damage a TIE fighter and make it crash, making them roughly comparable to thermal detonators. And he also possesses flash charges, which are devices that fire flares which release flashes of blinding light; which can be useful as distractions to blind snipers" Kiryu added.

"But if he prefers to take out his targets from a distance, Djarin brings out his heavy blaster pistol which he wields like an expert marksman that he is. Which is capable of piercing droid armor that is normally blaster proof. And if he wants more firepower, he's got his Amban pulse sniper rifle. What's sweet about this baby is that with a single shot, it can disintegrate humanoid targets such as Trandoshans and possesses a taser function, electrocuting enemies when attacking them with the two prongs extending from the barrel. It's a deadly combo of total annihilation and Mother of all bitchslaps." Boomstick explained.

"And if he wants to get right up close, he's got his Vibor-knife, which is capable of piercing objects normally immune to blasters, such as the hide of a Mudhorn or blaster-proof droid armor. And he's also has a spear completely forged from pure Beskar; allowing him to hold his own against lightsaber wielder." Kiryu said.

"And why do we keep speaking of droids? Well, it's confirmed from the beginning of the series that Djarin has deep hate towards droids. I mean seriously, this dude hates them so much." Boomstick added.

"But it's not the weapons that make a warrior, for Djarin has skills and mindset that makes him a warrior."

STRENGH/POWER:

• Comparable to Trandoshans and Wookies, the latter of whom can easily smash rocks with their strikes.
• Staggered a Blurrg beast with a few punches.
• Knocked out a Nikto mercenary with a single strike.
• Exchanged blows with Burg, a Devaronian mercenary who could lift and throw around New Republic security droids with ease.

SPEED:

• Can draw both his blaster and rifle at once before any of the four stormtroopers in the room could stop him.
• Can aim at and accurately shoot targets who are already aiming at him.
• Caught up to a Jawa Sandcrawler.
• Outran an Imperial AT-ST, which can move up to 90 km/h.
• Capable of keeping up with Imperial Death Troopers in melee combat, who are capable of appearing like blurs in hand-to-hand combat and were trained to be "beyond human".
• Reacted to a bypassing TIE fighter, which can reach speeds of up to Mach 1.

DURABILITY:

• His weaker, pre-upgrade, armor could easily deflect blaster fire without Din even flinching.
• Survived a shot from IG-11's heavy blaster rifle, the power of which should be equal to similar weapons.
• Survived electrocution from 8 Jawa blasters simultaneously, after which he fell from the top of their Jawa Sandcrawler.
• Survived being battered by Mudhorn several times.
• Took shots from an MK modified sniper rifle, which got deflected by his Beskar armor.
• Survive being in the epicenter of an explosion caused by the supply battery of a heavy repeater cannon.
• Beskar Spear survived an explosion from a starship cannon blast, so his armor has the same toughness.

As we have seen in the series, Djarin's strength and speed are nothing to be overlooked. His strength would be comparable to Trandoshans and Wookies. He's staggered a Blurrg beast with only a few punches, knocked out a mercenary with a single strike, and has even gone toe-to-toe with Burg, who can lift and toss security droids like rag dolls." Boomstick said.

"His speed is also baffling. He once caught up to Jawa Sandcrawler, outran an Imperial AS-ST walker, capable of keeping up with Death Troopers in melee; who were trained to be beyond human, and he even reacted to a bypassing Imperial TIE fighter, which can reach Mach 1 speeds. And not only that, his skills as a marksman are incredible; he can draw both his blaster and rifle faster than four Imperial Stormtroopers, and he can aim and accurately shoot his target while they had their aiming sights on him." Kiryu explained.

"While strength and speed are what makes him a deadly bounty hunter; however, his durability is what truly shocks all the Star Wars fans. Back before he received his Beskar, he took a blast from a heavy blaster rifle while he was wearing his weaker Durasteel armor. Survived being electrocuted by a volley of Jawa blasters, survived a fall from the top of Jawa Sandcrawler, survived being battered around by a Mudhorn, tanked shots from an MK sniper rifle while wearing his Beskar armor, and he even survived being in the center of an explosion that originated from a heavy repeating cannon design to penetrate Beskar. And from what we have seen in the show that beskar was tough enough to survive a blast from a starship cannon." Wiz stated.

"Damn! Who can stop this guy?" Boomstick asked.

"Not many. Throughout his years, Djarin has proven to be a quick and capable strategist. Capable of using all of his tools in useful ways and come up with basic plans on the fly, though they all mostly compose of improvising following the initial step. And he's an excellent stealth expert; capable of infiltrating various facilities, including secret Imperial hideouts and the New Republic ships, and can appear to vanish from one position only to one way or another reappear behind the victim." Kiryu proclaimed.

"My God... he's like freakin' Star Wars Batman!" Boomstick stated.

"In a way... yes," Wiz replied.

FEATS:

• Completed a multitude of jobs as a mercenary, becoming a member of the Bounty Hunters' Guild.
• Claimed to be the best bounty hunter in the parsec.
• Defeated a group of thugs, fought off a Ravinak and collected his bounty on a Mythrol target.
• Alongside IG-11, defeated a band of Nikto mercenaries.
• Destroyed IG-11 and recovered The Child, an infant member of Yoda's species.
• With assistance from The Child and its Force abilities, killed a Mudhorn and recovered its egg.
• Infiltrated a secret Imperial facility and took out multiple stormtroopers, both from stealth and in combat, and stole The Child back.
• Fought off a group of Bounty Hunter Guild members.
• Assisted in defending a village from Klatooinian raiders and teaching the villagers how to defend themselves.
• Tracked down and caught Fennec Shand, an elite mercenary and assassin.
• Assisted in infiltrating a New Republic prison ship and extracting a prisoner before having to escape himself after being abandoned by his team (And also proceeding to incapacitate each member of said team one by one).
• Escaped from an Empire-controlled city and defeated Moff Gideon, the local Imperial officer, destroying his TIE fighter in the process.

"Throughout his career, Djarin has accomplished many feats. He's defeated a group of thugs in seconds, fought off a Ravinak, defeated a band of mercenaries, slain a Mudhorn, infiltrated an imperial compound, fought off the entire Bounty Hunter Guild, help defend a village from raiders, tracked down and captured an elite mercenary, infiltrated a New Republic prison ship, and went toe-to-toe with Moff Gideon's TIE Fighter." Wiz said.

Damn! This guy sounds unstoppable!" Boomstick said with excitement.

"Not entirely, Boomstick. Djarin does have some faults. For starters, his distrustfulness of droids weighs him down in any situation; however, he soon learned to trust them after IG-11's reprogramming and his sacrifice to ensure the child's safety. Also, his Mandalorian code forbids him to remove his helmet in front of a living thing, which means he'd rather die than receive medical attention if it meant removing it." Kiryu stated.

"To be honest, Kiryu... That's a hardcore way to go out." Boomstick added.

"But even with his faults, Djarin has proven and shown the entire galaxy that he truly earned his name and title as the Mandalorian," Wiz said.

"Listen, I can get you more credits..." the Mythrol target tries to bargain his way out, but Mando wasn't buying.

"I can bring you in warm," Mando said while he moved his hand towards and grasped his heavy blaster pistol. "Or I can bring you in cold."

AYBSS SPIKE

"Out of all the characters in the MLP series, what is the one character that we can sympathize with?" Wiz asked

"The Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Kiryu said.

"No," Wiz replied.

"Fluttershy?" Boomstick suggested. Not that he's biased by this fact cause he's a Fluttershy fan by heart.

"Close, but no. The character that the MLP fandom can all sympathize with, is Spike the Dragon." Wiz said.

"Ohhhhhh." Kiryu and Boomstick said, simultaneously.

"While throughout the series, Spike has been the one non-pony character that everyone can respect and have in common with," Wiz stated.

"Mostly because Spike has been abused and degraded over the whole series, but proven that he's one tough and bright young fellow," Boomstick said

"But that's in the canon universe of MLP, when in a different universe; everything that Spike was known for, has been altered," Kiryu stated.

"In this universe, the Mane Six and Spike were setting up some kind of festival between the union of dragons and griffons, until an incident happened that involved a gem statue being cracked in half, which was just a harmless accident. But in a surprise twist, Spike was blamed for it... By the pony who took care of him!" Boomstick shouted.

"Which was the most lack of character for Twilight, which goes to show how completely different this universe is and how everything turned for the worst after that incident," Kiryu added.

BACKGROUND

• Species: Dragon
• Age: 15-20 (Dragon Years)
• Alias: King Bahamut, The King, Scalie, Spikey-Wikey (by Rarity), and Slimeball (for the Abyss), Shadow King and Shadow King Bahamut.
• Occupation: King of Shadow Equestria; former assistant of Twilight Sparkle
• Height: 6’3
• Weight: 182
• Adopted child of Princess Celestia
• Hobbies: Talking to Ember, Being around his new friends, enjoying his rare collection of jewels, and figuring out ways to take his revenge on the Mane Six

"After being banished by Twilight and her friends for a crime he didn’t commit, Spike stumbles across a malachite crystal heart in a deep cavern. Lured by its hypnotizing beauty, the heart grafts itself onto the dragon’s chest and becomes one with him, granting him abilities given to Stygian, the Pony of Shadow’s former host." Wiz stated.

"And then later, he became the new Pony of Shadows! Or Dragon of Shadows if you like to call him by," Boomstick stated.

"Using his newfound abilities, Spike assembles an army of various species and begins his campaign against the entire Kingdom of Equestria, taking every last city and resource after establishing himself as the King of Shadow of Equestria," Wiz added.

"The dark being that corrupted him and provided his newfound powers was known as The Abyss or Ooze simply, a dark parasitic essence that is the total opposite of light and Harmony and wants nothing more than to consume and corrupt everything in its path," Kiryu explained.

SKILLS & ABILITIES:

• Can breathe fire
• Can shapeshift his limbs into various forms of weapons (The Abyss) as well manipulating the Ooze on his body or any other area
• Is capable of lifting heavy objects
• Strategic and clever enough to outmaneuver his enemies
• Can separate the Ooze from his body and manipulate it as well as anypony who touches it, which can cause hallucinations
• Can create copies of himself with the Ooze
• Can create black holes with the Ooze by tearing open through time and space with its claws
• Even if the Malachite Crystal Heart is separated from Spike’s chest, it can still move and is capable of possessing its foes

"For his abilities, Spike has his natural dragon physicality. He can breathe fire and lift heavy objects with ease. But with the Ooze, he's gained more abilities that make him all the more terrifying." Wiz explained.

"He can shapeshift his limbs into multiple forms of weaponry and can manipulate the Ooze on his body in various ways; such as separated it from his body and use it to corrupt and manipulate anyone that comes into contact with it, including having them experience hallucinations," Kiryu stated.

"That's not all! He can even duplicate himself with the power of the Ooze and create black holes by tearing time and space with his bare claws!" Boomstick added.

"And even if the Malachite Crystal Heart were to be separated from Spike's chest, the Ooze can still move on its own and is capable of possessing any opponent who defeated the young dragon," Wiz said

"So basically this evil entity is hard to put down, even when you blast it with a shotgun," Boomstick commented.

"And it doesn't steer away from that he's also a clever strategist; able to outmaneuver his opponents whenever he wants," Kiryu added.

FEATS:

• Defeated Discord back in the Dragon Badlands
• Rallied over various species into an army
• Successfully took over Equestria and establishing his kingdom
• Snuck the Ooze into the Crystal Empire without being spotted
• Destroyed the Crystal Empire
• Broke the Mane Six
• Fought and killed the Royal Sisters as well as Twilight Sparkle (Midnight Sparkle)

"During his evil reign of terror, the Abyss/Spike have nearly accomplished their goals. They went toe-to-toe and defeated powerful foes like Discord, the Royal Princesses, and the Mane Six. Rallied over various species into a massive army. Dominated and conquered Equestria, destroyed the Crystal Empire, and the worst acts he ever committed; he broke the will of the Mane Six... and gotten them all killed." Wix explained.

"Wait!? Even Fluttershy?!" Boomstick asked.

"Even Fluttershy," Wix replied.

And that's when Boomstick, had finally blown his top. "WHAT THE F***! THAT BITCH-ASS MOTHERF***ER!!! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HIM, I'LL SKIN HIS F***ING SCALY ASS ALIVE AND SLOWLY!!!!! AND THEN I'LL BUTCHER HIS F***ING CARCASS AND FEED IT TO THE CHICKENS!!!"

Wiz and Kiryu were extremely stunned and a bit frightened by Boomstick's angry outburst. "Whoa, I never saw him this angry before?" Kiryu said.

"Neither have I," Wiz replied while Boomstick continues to throw a tantrum.

Weaknesses

• Easily manipulated
• Lets his anger cloud his judgment
• Vulnerable to fire/electricity if the Abyss has taken its true form
• Doesn’t know that he’s being possessed
• Will die if the Malachite Crystal Heart is shattered

"But It soon it was eventually that Spike's tyranny had come to an end when the Oozes' weakness had been discovered; which was fire and electricity. Which Starlight and Tempest Shadow used to defeat him." Wiz stated.

"HaHa! Serves him right! That's what happens to Fluttershy killers, they get f***ed!" Boomstick commented.

"Anyway, Spike had also revealed serval faults to his frightening appearance. For starters, he lets anger cloud his judgment and makes him unable to strategize his battles. Also if the Malachite Crystal Heart were to shatter, the Ooze, along with Spike and everything it corrupted, would die with it." Kiryu explained.

"While I have a lot of hate towards the little guy now, but I cannot hate him normally when it was stated that Spike had no memory of ever being possessed when he was freed of the Ooze. I guess everything turned out ok for him; even if he is responsible for the destruction of Equestria and the massacre of thousands of ponies, and even killed nearly all his friends and family. Damn, that's a lot of guilty things he's done." Boomstick said.

“AFTER EVERYTHING YOU DID TO ME… HUMILIATING ME… BELITTLING ME… AND ABUSING ME… YOU AND YOUR KIND WILL PAY FOR EVERYTHING!!!” Spike roared once again as he prepared to deal the final blow to Starlight.

"Alright the combatants are set and we run our data through all possibilities," Wiz said.

"It's time to see who will reign victorious, or be left lying lifeless in a ditch," Kiryu added.

"It's time for a DEATH BATTLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEE!!!!!" Boomstick shouted.

Outside the walls of Canterlot, the capital of the new Shadow Equestria. Mando's ship, Razor Crest lands somewhere hidden in the mountain where Canterlot is built upon. Inside the cockpit, Mando shuts down the engines of his ship and heads down into the cargo deck of his ship, and opens the entrance ramp of the ship to go find his target. But before he could leave, he notices the Child standing right beside him, which he realized that he wanted to go with him. But Mando knows too well that this world was too dangerous for him, so he picks up the Child in his hands and carries him to the hidden compartment in the ship, and places him inside.

"Alright, I'm gonna go out and take care of Guild work, so I need you to stay put and don't leave the ship," Mando instructed the Child, who looks at him with a curious expression. "I mean it, don't... leave... the ship," he said again before closing up the compartment, with the Child inside. After having the kid in a safe, secure place, Mando then opens up his weapons compartment and takes out the gear and equipment he needed. Once he did, he then exits out of his ship and closes the ramp entrance, and engaged ground security protocols to prevent anything from entering the ship. Then Mando makes his way towards the city.

Meanwhile, in the throne room of the royal palace, Abyss Spike sat quietly in his throne while two of his guards held a chained, beaten-up earth pony in front of him. The pony cried and wept for hours on end, begging for mercy. But the Shadow King was never about mercy and soon he ordered one of his guards to behead the pony in front of him.

"Clean up this mess and toss it with the others," He said. And soon his guards dragged the headless body away. Leaving the Shadow King alone in his throne room.

He sat quietly for minutes until he soon heard a commotion going on behind the doors into the throne room. And before he could get off his throne, the doors were slammed open, and then one of his guards was tossed through the doors and landed roughly on the ground and laid there lifelessly.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Abyss Spike asked in confusion and irritation of this intrusion. Before his eyes looked upwards towards the doors and see the Mandalorian stand silently in the doorway. "Who are you and how did you infiltrate my castle?" the Shadow King demanded, but Mando did not answer and proceeded to walk towards the corrupted dragon.

"Did you not hear me! I said what is your purpose here?!" Spike shouted in anger as Mando stopped about 10-feet away from the shadow dragon. The two locked eyes for a while until the Mandalorian reached towards his belt and pulled out a bounty puck in his hands and soon the puck projected a hologram of Spike's face. Soon the Shadow King got the picture of who was this intruder.

"So... You're a bounty hunter, aren't you?" He asked with an emotionless, snarled expression. "So that would mean someone has hired you to destroy me. Is that right?" He added again while getting up from his throne and staring down at the Mandalorian. "Why is the world always against me when I was the one is wronged!" He stated loudly.

"I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold?" Mando replied after staying silent for the whole conversation while grasping his heavy blaster pistol in its holster. The two legends of two different universes were in a long quiet stand-off for a while, waiting for the other to make their first move.

FIGHT!!!

Spike let out a battle cry as he leaps towards the Mandalorian, with his claws ready to skewer the rogue bounty hunter. But Mando evades the Shadow King by stepping to the side as Spike lands on the ground with a loud thud. After avoiding the attack, Mando draws out his blaster pistol before the corrupted dragon could even react quickly enough and let loose with plasma bolts at the Shadow King. As they made contact with his skin, Spike grunts in pain, and the Ooze reacting violently by the burning feeling of the blaster shots.

Angered by this, the Shadow King charges at the Mandalorian, with his arms forming into black blades made from the Ooze, and then swings them at Mando. The bounty hunter does his best to avoid the swings, but soon the last swing made by the dragon struck him in the Beskar armor and staggered him back. Mando looks down at his chest plate, seeing that the blades did little to no damage, and then he continues to fire his pistol at the Shadow King, inflicting burning pain to the corrupted dragon.

Spike was then annoyed by this and then let out a roar before forming his arms into long black spears and extending them towards the Mandalorian. As he was seeing them coming, Mando dodges the first one before the second one made contact in his shoulder area, which then causes him to lose his grip on his blaster pistol and drop it. Luckily, the Beskar pauldron on his shoulder deflected the attack, preventing any penetration. But unfortunately, he dropped his weapon in the process.

After he was knocked to the ground, Spike rushes over to the Mandalorian and picks him up by the neck and putting pressure on it. "You dare to come in here and challenge me!" He shouted at the bounty hunter before Mando reaches for his Viber-Knife in a desperate attempt, and once he grabbed it, he pulls it out and then slices it against the dragon's chest, causing sheering pain to the Shadow King and releasing his grip on Mando's neck. Soon the Ooze instantly repaired damage made and Spike faces off with his opponent before he was delivered a jab to his face by Mando.

Mando then throws a few more punches towards the corrupted dragon's face and gut before Spike retaliated by catching Mando's fist and then delivers a punch to Mando's body and later tosses him over his head. Mando roughly rolls on the ground from being tossed and then lets out a couple of painful grunts until he finally gets up onto his feet. While he did, Spike then manipulates the Ooze to form 11 other duplicates of him which then surrounded the Mandalorian. The bounty hunter looks at all the 12 corrupted dragons that surrounded him and is then confused about which one is the real one.

"HAHA! What will you do now, bounty hunter? You're no match for all of us." they all said in unison while taunting him.

Mando then thinks of a solution to his situation and then puts away his knife, gets onto one knee, and aims his left vambrace towards the ground. Then he arms his Whistling Birds, and before the shadow dragon clones could pounce on The Mandalorian; Mando releases all of his Whistling Birds which all target and take out all of the clones, who were knocked back after they felt the tiny missiles penetrate their skin and exploded.

In a quick attempt, Mando then takes out his Amban sniper rifle and aims it at the closest clone and fired, completely disintegrating him, and then he reloads and fires at another clone. He proceeds to vaporize each clone one by one until the original Shadow King was left the last one standing and charges at the Mandalorian with full force, swing his arms which formed axes by the Ooze. Mando takes his rifle and deflects the blades and brush them off before attacking the dragon with the two prongs on his rifle, which sents out an electric shock into Spike's body, which causes the Ooze in the dragon's body to react violently and soon Spike let out an unnatural roar in pain before knocking the bounty hunter 10-feet away with a backhand punch.

Mando rolled along the ground before getting back up onto his feet. Once he did, the Mandalorian pulled out his beskar spear and aimed it directly at Spike. The corrupted dragon scoffed in response before forming his arms back into axes and then engaged the bounty hunter in melee combat. The two fought hard for minutes, as Mando uses his spear to deflected and parry Spike's axes while the corrupted dragon tried to overwhelm his foe. But the Mandalorian proved to be very skilled with his spear, and soon Mando used the end of his spear to blunt the side of the dragon's face, causing him to stumble and leaving him open for the bounty hunter to impale his spear into the Spike's abdomen.

The corrupted dragon roared with anger and pain as he brings his arm upward and then sends the Mandalorian flying across the throne room.

Mando then slammed into a stone pillar and lands roughly on the floor. Spike, on the other hand, was now totally furious as the Ooze spewed from the Malachite Crystal Heart in his chest and formed a black shell over his entire body until he truly looks the part as King of Shadows. Then he busts out his powerful move by using his claws to rip open the fabric of Time and Space, forming a black hole in the throne room.

The gravitational force of the black hole began pulling Mando towards it as he tries to hold onto the pillar he was slammed into. But it proved useless as his grip on the pillar had begun to slip and soon he was pulled towards the mouth of the black hole.

"Good riddance," Spike said with a grin on his face. But soon that grin had been forced away when he heard a roaring sound before he witnessed Mando shot out of the black hole with his jetpack. Then the Mandalorian flew around the black hole and then straight towards the corrupted dragon. Once he was closer, Mando then launches his whipcord from his right vambrace and ensnares the Shadow King by the neck and then bust through the painted windows of the throne room and pulls Spike through with him.

The Mandalorian took the dragon for a joyride before he grabs onto the whip and then swung Spike around three times before he tosses and slammed the corrupted dragon into one of the castle's towers. Soon after that, Mando then lands onto the castle courtyard and then proceeds to plant his sticky explosives on the ground, right as Spike landed into the courtyard with an angry, snarling look on his face.

"You think you can outpace me forever?!" He shouted in rage until he hears the sound of beeping noises around him and soon looks down to see several of Mando's sticky bombs around him.

"No, I don't," Mando replied to Spike's statement before the bombs around the dragon exploded right in his face, as the Ooze that encases Spike's body was exposed to the explosion's flames, causing the Ooze to retreat into the Malachite Crystal Heart. Leaving Spike's mortal body exposed, and before the dragon could see it coming, Mando had his Amban rifle aimed at him and fired, the shot then vaporized Spike entirely, leaving only the Malachite Crystal Heart in his place.

Believing that his foe was finally defeated, Mando walks over to where the Malachite Crystal is and then inspects it with curiosity on his mind. And while he was looking at it, he was then greeted by loud laughter from the crystal, and soon the Ooze, or the Abyss, itself appeared from it, in its truest form, and shot out multiple tentacles from its body which began to ensnare Mando's body.

"You have defeated my host, you are a strong warrior indeed. A perfect replacement for me to consume, and with your impenetrable armor, we'll be unstoppable!" The Aybss spoke out to the Mandalorian as it was wrapping its grip around his legs.

Mando struggled to break free from the entity's grip, but to no avail. Then out of a desperate attempt, Mando reaches towards his holster belt and eventually grabs one of his flare charges. And with the hope that it'll distract the entity, Mando aims the flash charge towards the Abyss and releases flashes of blinding light towards it. Soon the heat and fire from the flash charge inflict sheering pain to the Ooze which forced it to let go of the Mandalorian as the bounty hunter watched the entity shriek in pain from his distraction.

And while he got up on his feet, Mando then realized the Abyss' weakness, seeing how it reacted violently to the flash charge. "So you're not fond of fire... Well then... why not crank up the heat," he said as he prepares to use his final weapon. He raises both of his arms towards the entity as it towers over him, he then activates his flamethrowers, mounted on his vambraces, and spews a 5-meter cone of flames towards the Abyss, which shrieks out in pains and a dying moan as felt the overwhelming heat from the Mandalorian's flamethrowers.

As Mando continues his attack, the Abyss began to slowly shrink and vaporize from the heat of the fires, and with its final dying moan, it was now gone. After seeing the entity now destroyed, Mando ceases his flamethrowers and observes the place where the Ooze was, only to find the Malachite Crystal Heart, surrounded by scorched earth. Wasting no time at all, Mando raises his left foot above the crystal and then stomps the crystal into pieces.

"Good riddance," he said as he walks away from the area.

KO!!!

"What? Really, I thought for sure Spike had this fight in the bag?" Boomstick asked his fellow co-hosts.

"Now hold on, I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this," Wiz stated. "With the Ooze, Spike may be a powerful god-like being, but the Mandalorian had everything he needed to take him out."

"While Spike had many interesting abilities, but Mando had everything he needed to counter them. His whistling birds prevent Spike from attacking him with clones, his jetpack helps him from getting sucked in by Spike's black holes, and his Beskar armor allows him to take hits from the dragon's brute strength." Kiryu explained.

"But that's not all, what gave Spike the big L was the Ooze's vulnerability to fire and electricity; and as it turns out, Mando's weapons and gadgets harness those two weaknesses. His explosives, flash charges, and flamethrowers can release big amounts of fire that the Ooze couldn't shake off. Also, his blaster pistol and rifle harness plasma, which can be found in natural lightning, so that means they contain electricity as well," Boomstick stated.

"That's... scientifically correct? Wait, since when did you gain knowledge of plasma being found in lightning?" Wiz asked.

"I did my research," Boomstick replied.

"But you're always busy with drinking beer than to do research," Kiryu said.

"Hey, I can be smart too, ya know," Boomstick responded before drinking from the beer can in his hand.

"Alright then, while Spike and the Abyss entity may have the might and powers to make themselves feared across Equestria; but Mando's tactics, overwhelming offensive, and unstoppable defense were too much for the Shadow King," Wix stated.

"Yeah, you might say that Mando was just 'oozing' badass in this fight." Boomstick gave a lousy pun which annoyed his co-hosts big time.

"The winner is Din Djarin; the Mandalorian," Kiryu said.
