Description
Two legendary dragon mechs finally square off in this fight to the death!

Interlude
(*Cues: Wiz & Boomstick - Brandon Yates*)

Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.

Dragonzord
'''Boomstick: After being stuck in a garbage can for 10,000 years, the evil Rita Repulsa was understandably pretty pissed. So, she decided to destroy the world. Hey, I'd be mad too, but that's a hell of a hot take.'''

Wiz: And so Earth's guardian, Zordon, put a plan into motion: five heroic teenagers would defend the planet with their Dinozords. They were the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

Boomstick: You'd think a bunch of kids in spandex would have a tough time fighting an ancient witch, but they got used to takin' out her weekly monsters pretty quick, like a normal nine to five, just with giant robots.

Wiz: But Rita had a plan. If her creatures could not defeat the heroes, she would create her own Ranger.

Boomstick: The Green Ranger, along with his robo-reptile, the Dragonzord.

(Green Ranger plays his dragon flute, summoning the Dragonzord from the ocean depths, who then proceeds to devour a pole.)

Wiz: At 90 meters tall and nearly 200 tons, the Dragonzord proved a match for the other Rangers, even their Megazord.

'''Boomstick: Dragonzord's got a heavy-duty arsenal, like finger missiles! It's like flicking the gunk from under your nails at people, but it explodes!'''

Wiz: Why do you have gunk under your fingers?

'''Boomstick: To flick at people, duh! That fin isn't just a cool headpiece, it shoots energy waves! And if D-Zord feels like stompin' around, watch out for literally shocking earthquakes.'''

Wiz: Despite such long-range weaponry, the Dragonzord seems best suited to fighting up close with its strong grappling arms and highly flexible drill tail. This drill is so impressive, it cut through a cocoon prison even the supposedly superior Megazord couldn't escape.

'''Boomstick: Yeah, that thing's five Zords in one. Guess teamwork doesn't always make the dream work.'''

Wiz: The Dragonzord's pilot has even bested the other Rangers in combat on his own. Luckily, they helped him break free from Rita's control, and he eagerly joined their fight against the forces of evil. This is Tommy Oliver.

''Tommy: Dragonzord! (Tommy flips into action as the Dragonzord roars.)''

Mechagodzilla
Wiz: The year was 1954, less than a decade after Japan was bombarded with the first atomic weapons. The nuclear age had begun.

Boomstick: But one of these atomic weapons woke something up: Godzilla!

(Japanese citizens are shown trembling at the sight of the King of the Monsters.)

Boomstick: '''This ginormous radioactive kaiju decimated Japan. Things looked pretty bad, until a scientist deployed a bomb strong enough to kill the monster, the Oxygen Destroyer, which does exactly what it says on the tin.'''

Wiz: Right, Doctor Seriziwa's bomb could specifically target and destroy oxygen molecules, liquifying most living tissue. This weapon was so dangerous, Seraziwa feared its very existence threatened the entire human race.

Boomstick: So he went down martyr-style, takin' out Godzilla and all knowledge of his weird bomb, all that remained was Godzilla's bones.

Wiz: Probably for the best, still, a weapon like that might've come in handy when, a few decades later, another Godzilla showed up.

'''Boomstick: Surprise, b*tches! RAWR!'''

Wiz: Turns out, Japan had been a target of many different types of kaiju for years, and had developed an Anti-Monster Defense Force to combat them.

'''Boomstick: Unfortunately, their super-powerful maser cannons barely even scratched this new Godzilla. Ah, just look at him, he doesn't even care.'''

Wiz: Like the Oxygen Destroyer before, Japan needed a new weapon to combat Godzilla. They gathered their foremost experts in the fields of robotics, microwaves, low-temperature physics, and someone whose work can only be described as cyber necromancy. Together, these leading scientists developed a revolutionary weapon like nothing before it.

Boomstick: Mechagodzilla!

Wiz: Sure, technically this isn't the first Mechagodzilla we've seen, but it's certainly the deadliest and the most unique. So much so, it was given its own distinct name, Kiryu. A combination of kanji meaning "machine" and "dragon".

'''Boomstick: "Kiryu"? Sounds lame, I'll stick with "Mechagodzilla", thank you. Standing sixty meters tall and weighing forty thousand tons with full gear, this badass cyber monster is loaded with all sorts of weapons, rocket launchers, rail cannons, grappling wires, spinning drill hands, a batting ram jetpack, and even retractable Assassin's Creed blades with an extra zap, and just like Zilla himself, MechaG fires laser beams from his mouth, this twin maser cannon is twice as powerful as the maser guns that successfully killed other non-Godzilla giant monsters.'''

Wiz: Kiryu is certainly skilled in melee combat and is surprisingly athletic for its size.

Boomstick: Look at it go!

Wiz: However, with its enormous arsenal, it is far better suited to long-range strikes, like with its ultimate weapon, the Absolute Zero Cannon.

'''Boomstick: Damn! So, it's like a super ice beam?'''

Wiz: As the name suggests, it unequivently brings its target's temperature to absolute zero, or zero degrees kelvin, but this beam isn't just for freezing its target, it's literally destroying all of its existing energy at once, a practically impossible feat of physics. This results in crushing the entire target from within at an atomic level.

'''Boomstick: Oh my god... zilla!'''

Wiz: Uh, speaking of which, Kiryu is actually built around the skeletal remains of the original Godzilla, giving him all the size and strength of the King of the Monsters.

Results
Boomstick: I'm just glad they didn't let the fight "Drag-on".

Wiz: The winner is Kiryu.

Boomstick: Mechagodzilla.

Original Track


The track of this fight is "Draconic Robotics" by Therewolf Media. It is an electric guitar rock piece in the vein of music commonly featured in kaiju and tokusatsu series. The track features guitar riffs reminiscent of the classic Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers theme and the Green Ranger’s theme from the aforementioned series.

The track's title is in reference to the fact that both combatants are mechanical robots designed for combat, with both taking the form of reptiles and classical depictions of dragons.

The image cover shows the Dragonzord Power Coin emblem frozen with a crack forming through, presumably in reference to Mechagodzilla's Absolute Zero Cannon, while Mechagodzilla’s shoulder cannons emerge from behind, emanating a cold aura that envelops the Power Coin.
