Solid Snake VS Sam Fisher

Solid Snake VS Sam Fisher is the upcoming forty-eighth episode of Death Battle. It will feature Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series and Sam Fisher from the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell series.

Solid Snake
Wiz: His name was simply "David," and he had one clear purpose in life, become the successor to the greatest soldier who ever lived.

'''Boomstick: Why? Because he was cloned from him! Strap in ladies and gentlemen this origin's a doozy!'''

Wiz: As a secret government project David was created using eggs donated by a Japanese scientist and grown in the womb of a femme fatale spy along with seven other "would-be" brothers.

Boomstick: She was almost the original Octomom, except they scrambled six of them to somehow power the remaining two.

Wiz: According to prophecy, one of of these twins would bring ruin to the world, while the other would save it. So that kind of works out!

'''Boomstick: Luckily for David he turned out to be the good one. Born to be a soldier he joined the Green Beret as a teenager and later joined the CIA, the U.S. Army, and finally the hi-tech Black Ops group called Fox Hound. Here his deadly stealth techniques earned him his legendary code name, Solid Snake.'''

Wiz: While serving under this Special Forces unit, he received training from the very man he was cloned from, Big Boss.

'''Boomstick: But on his very first mission from Fox Hound, war itself changed. After infiltrating the military nation Outer Heaven to rescue a fellow agent, Snake uncovered plans for the creation of a gigantic, walking weapon that can airmail a nuke to anywhere in the world. It was called "Metal Gear."'''

Wiz: Despite being a Foxhound rookie, Snake destroyed the Metal Gear and discovered that Big Boss himself was apparently leading the enemy. After killing his own father, supposedly, Snake had had enough and entered early retirement.

'''Boomstick: But since he had destroyed a walking nuke shooter and the greatest soldier who ever lived, Snake became the next soldier of legend. Anytime a Metal Gear showed up, Snake was pulled back into the fray, when all he really wanted to do was get drunk in Alaska and dogsled race with his 50 huskies. Ah, talk about living the dream.'''

Wiz: turns out Big Boss wasn't quite as dead as people thought he was. Even after Snake burned him alive with nothing but a lighter and a can of hairspray-

Boomstick: History's greatest soldier everyone!

Wiz: These Metal Gears still kept showing up. Soon Snake was an expert at destroying these metal behemoths.
