8BIT's DeathBytes! - Tails vs. Robin Characters are (c) their respective owners. Disclaimer: Any battle could end any way, depending on the writer. Don't ever take deathmatch stories or videos as gospel. 8BIT, a black fox from the spaces between dimensions, is a being who represents all that is dark and depraved. Bored, he has constructed an impressive stadium, able to change its shape and form to accomodate all types of epic battles. To sate his thirst for bloodshed, he creates doppelgangers of warriors from across the multiverse, pitting them against each other in no holds barred struggles to the death! He would use the real deals, but his not-so-evil counterpart, 2BIT, would never permit it. Not to mention, the possibilities for rematches and other battles with the same heroes rises if he can simply duplicate said hero from the data of the original. Today the field had taken the form of a fancy museum. 8BIT had a curious thought, a pair of loyal sidekicks...which would survive the battle? The first, a fox with twin tails, aptly named Tails, walking about with a scanner. "It's in here somewhere..." Ahead, he found a glittering gemstone. "There! A Chaos Emerald!" he gasped. As Tails heads for it, a red, bladed boomerang-type weapon flies down into his path, startling him! Looking around, the fox finds a human dressed in a bright red outfit, emblazoned with the letter R. "Huh? Who are you?!" he asks. The masked boy holds up a staff weapon defensively. "Don't you know the museum's closed? Heh, judging by the look of you, I guess you don't care. Cute little Meta-Human, aren't you?" he smirks. Tails raises an eyebrow. "Meta-wha?? Listen, that Emerald is dangerous, I can't just leave it laying around!" he warned. The human glanced at the emerald. "Stealing, huh? Dude, I'm Robin! Haven't you heard of me? I'm not gonna let you steal that!" he said. Tails scratched his head. Maybe he should come back? 8BIT wouldn't let them reach a civilized conclusion, though. From his hidden seat, he held a little remote. "TRIGGERED!!" he smirked. Robin ran at Tails with his staff, swinging it at the fox! Tails swiftly backed away, avoiding the attack. "Hey, cut it out! Just 'cuz I'm little doesn't mean I'll let you push me around!" he snapped. Robin didn't wait for him to counterattack, and leapt in to give the fox a kick to the chest! Tails gasped in pain, but was quick to retaliate with a whip of his two tails, knocking Robin back slightly. The fox then backed up and tossed a barrage of dummy rings at Robin, stunning him on impact! "Now, if you'll excuse me..." he sighed, turning around. Robin grunted, reaching into his utility belt. He wouldn't be shown up by this squirt. As Tails went for the emerald, a smoke bomb went off at his feet, quickly obscuring his vision! "What the...?" In a moment, Robin was at his back, his staff smacking the fox over and over! He yelped, gritting his teeth in pain, and realized he had to put some distance between them. Tails sped forward faster than Robin could stop him and jumped into the air, spinning his tails to fly out of the smoke! "You... you're a bully! I'll teach you!" he shouted, a cannon suddenly forming around his hand as he pointed down into the smoke! A couple birdarangs flew out to greet him, one knocking his weapon to point away and the other pelting him across the chest, leaving a cut as he fell down, holding his chest! Robin held his staff out as the smoke cleared. "Surrender... You can't win!" he warned. Tails looked up with determination. No way he could let this punk intimidate him into submission. He aimed his cannon upward. "I'm smarter than I look!" he said, shooting above Robin to cause the roof to crumble down around him! Then, as Robin scrambled to protect himself, the fox pulled a boxing glove on a chain out of nowhere! "Maybe YOU surrender!!" he shouted, running past the human and lashing the chain at him, the boxing glove socking him square in the jaw! As Robin was tossed upwards, he grabbed for his grapple and fired upward, pulling himself to the hole in the roof! "Yeah! Run away!" Tails shouted. Robin was far from running, though. He separated his staff in two, holding an escrima stick in each hand. "Game's over..." he said, gliding down with his cape towards Tails! The fox wasn't about to take more guff from him, and sent several explosive mouse-like drones in the boy wonder's direction! Robin leapt past them, hitting them one by one with the tips of his sticks as he went, zapping them with tasers on the ends! Tails knew he'd have to fight him directly, and so he started by going into a spin dash, smacking into Robin's chest as he neared and giving him an opening to get some punches and tail whips in! He didn't feel punches to the stomach doing much good, so he went for Robin's head. This left Tails's own body unprotected. Robin took the blows for a bit until the fox's guard was down, and then jammed his escrima sticks into Tails's sides! The fox wailed in pain as he was tased from both directions, whimpering as he fell to his knees! "I...I was j-just..." he stammered. Robin held his head in his hands. "Shhh..." he whispered, before swiftly snapping the fox's neck, dropping his limp body to the ground! "...Not in my city..." he grunted. 8BIT clapped. His power over the copies meant he could override their better judgement and "no kill rules", allowing the matches to play to his satisfaction. He pressed a button on his remote again, and Robin proceeded to take a knife from his belt, and jam it right into the dead fox's chest, pulling out his heart with it! "Enjoy this, bird boy... If there's a rematch, it'll be on HIS kinda playing field... I wonder how you'd fare if his plane were in the mix?" he chuckled, relishing the carnage he'd just witnessed. Match End!
