Carnage Vs  James Heller By Madnessabe-d8oqp0o by redhavic
Mecha: We've taken into account all that is needed with the fighters. It's time to settle the debate once and for all. 

Virgil: Also, expect a lot of Samuel L Jackson jokes to be abound in this fight.

Mecha: You realize that's stereotyping again?

Virgil: Well, why don't you come up with something to make this guy more original? Because all I get from this guy is a Sam Jackson clone, without the humor or charm!

Mecha: .......... Don't expect me to pull you out of the fire you start.

Virgil: Good to know. Anyway, it's time for a Death Battle! 

-----------
New York City Local diner

"And in other news, psychotic super villain Cletus Kasady AKA Carnage has once again escaped from Ravencroft for the 3rd time this week. His current whereabouts are unknown,  but it's speculated that he's heading for New York: all citizens are advised to stay as far away from this mad man as possible-"

"Ugh, waiter could you turn the TV down?  Last thing I need is something depressing to ruin my day."

The waitress compiled to the man's request as she went back to her duties.  Meanwhile the customer from earlier was chatting it up with his buddy in the seat next to him.

 "What the hell got you in such a bad mood, Bill?"

"I don't know Frank, maybe it's because I'm sick and tired of these freaks breaking out and running amuck! If they're so damn dangerous, why don't they just kill them already?"

"Legal stuff maybe.  Or it could be the fact that it's hard to kill them to begin with. I mean, you can't exactly kill a guy who's completely made of sand with bullets. "

"I get that! I mean guys like Carnage: is it really that hard to put a bullet in his head?"

"Bill, from what I heard, this guy took a exploding grenade in the mouth and he was fine. I don't think a bullet to the head is going to do much."

"What if I shot him in the crouch?"

".......You're an idiot, Bill."

Before the conversation could continue any further, a loud bang from the front of the restaurant indicated that someone had entered the door. But the new customer was not greeted with good intentions but with gripping fear. It was a tall man covered in a body suit of bloody red, with only white  eyes and a mouth a sharp teeth shaped into a psychotic grin. 

Carnage had wandered into the restaurant and not even 5 seconds after he arrived, did the occupants went for an alternate exit, but the red psychopath blocked them off with red goo.

"Don't go running everybody: you're all chosen to be apart of my little art project. So in your honest opinion, do you think red would go well with this wall?" Carnage laughed in satanic glee as he morphed his right hand into an axe. He walked closer and closer to his frightful prey, as the cries of women and children alike could do little to stop his advance.

But before the axe could be dropped, a coffee mug was thrown against the back of the Symbiote's head and shattered.  Dead silence filled the air as even the frightened customers could only look in shock at what just happened: Carnage turned his back on the people as he furiously checked the restaurant. 

"Alright, who's the asshole who did that? Come on out so I can pay you back for that!" Cried out Carnage as he flipped table after table in his search. Finally,  a voice called back to him.

"Over here, asshat."

Carnage and even the hostages turned to the source of the voice to a booth with a single occupant.  He was an older look man, with chocolate brown skin to indicate his race, a mostly shaved head, wear only a black shirt with a red undershirt and black pants. This was James Heller and despite the inhuman killer standing in the same room with him, he didn't seemed to be bothered by it.

Even with Carnage literally breathing down his neck, James Heller still kept his composure. He kept drinking his coffee until the red psychopath knocked it out of his  hand, the Evolved man now regarding the individual with a look of rage.

"Do you know who you are messing with, buddy? I can literally turn you into hamburger meat for just looking at me funny!" Carnage snarled as he back up his treat by raising one of his claws to Heller's face. Despite this, James gave him the following retort:

"Yeah, I know who I'm messing with: some f@#$ed-up redneck with an alien gimp suit and daddy issues. Am I close?"

If the crowd wasn't silent before, they were now. Even Carnage was stunned by such an insult that he just stood there, as if his brain was trying to comprehend: it took him 10 seconds to bring down his makeshift axe on Heller along shouting something along the lines of "I'll show you who's the redneck when I cut your throat like a chicken!"

James simply took the arm by the elbow,  and Judo flipped Carnage out of the diner's window and into the streets outside. He then searched through his wallet before pulling out a hefty sum of cash and leaving it at his table. Before he kicked the front door of the diner, James looked back to the waiter and said:

"FYI, you need to put less black beans in the coffee.  It tastes funny."

Meanwhile, Carnage picked himself up after being thrown out as look at his new opponent exiting the diner. What was interesting to Carnage was after he left the diner, the asshole 's arms got red and black before turning into a wicked pair of claws.

Oh this was going to fun!

Soon Carnage began to walk at a slow pace to match his newest victim's pace, before it escalated into sprinting, and finally moving to running. At the peak of their runs, both Carnage and Heller leaped into the air,  with their claws stretched out to kill.

The streets of New York were about to be painted red: be it biomass or blood would be up to the winner!

FIGHT!!

They collided in midair, with their dagger like fingers digging into each other's flesh as they tumbled on the ground. It ended with Carnage coming out on top and throwing Heller in a similar fashion from before, straight into a car.

James groaned as he pulled himself from the indent in the car, with Carnage swiftly approaching him, his claws at the ready. Using quick thinking, James Heller took the car that he crashed into and threw it at Carnage. 

But the psychotic was able to jump over the flying car, as he came down with chop of his makeshift axe.  Or he would have if it wasn't for a long whip-like object coiling around his neck, the source of it being James with the whip connecting to to his arm. He then proceeded to throw Carnage around like a ragdoll, bashing him against everything he can find. 

But Carnage severed the Whipfist as he crashed to the ground,  with James Heller changing tatics, turning his arm into very large fists. He jumped to ridiculous heights before coming down on Carnage like a meteor,  with his hands in front.

But the attack was slow in execution,  so Carnage had no trouble running from the point of impact, but the aftermath was another story. Heller's Groundspike tore apart the street, launching debris upwards and in all directions, catching Carnage off balance, and tripping him forward.

Heller was on the killer supervillain, ready to squash him like a bug, but tendrils of red mass erupted from Carnage's back, striking at Heller from many angles, forcing him back. Then the tendrils proceeded to latch on the surface of several buildings as they pulled Carnage back to his feet, who was still looking fine.

But before the fight could continue,  several helicopters and tanks rolled into the street and surrounded the fighters, as several armed soldiers piled out, with guns are the ready.  The logo on the soldier's uniform confirmed that Blackwatch was still kicking, even after the end of the second outbreak, and it looked like they had a score to settle with the guy who nearly ended them, much to Heller's anger. What looked like a commander stepped out of one of the tanks as he gave orders to his men.

"Alright boys, you know what go do! Kill the infected son of a bitch, and bring Carnage alive. The things we could do with the symbiote is going to put us up in the world! OPEN FIRE!"

A hail of bullets came from all sides as the two fighters split to evade them. With a large blade replacing his right hand, James tore through the soldiers like nothing as he made his way to the tank. It fired on him with shot after shot, but the Evolved man was far too fast to get a hit. James reached the hatch of the tank, ripping the door off as he went inside it, throwing the driver out a good distance, splattering him against the side of a building.

With full control on the tank, James set his sights on the gleeful Carnage, as he slaughtered all the soldier's in several gory fashions. He had just stabbed a claw through one of the soldier's mouths before hearing the tank positioning it's barrel straight at him. A boom resounded across the city as a shell was fired, kicking up a dust cloud on impact.

But from the cloud came as mass of red material that latched onto one of the helicopters in the air, as it was violently brought down towards the tank. With a high jump, James got out of the tank just as the helicopter crashed into it, causing a huge explosion.  When he got back on the ground, James looked around for the asshole, but he didn't seem to be insight, so he stuck to the sonar.

Hmmm. That's odd, he seem to be running on the rooftop. Bad idea. Taking a Gatling gun from what was left of the helicopter and with a running start, James jumped towards a building's surface as he started to run up the side of, defying the laws of physics. He reached the top of a roof, catching Carnage running to another rooftop, as he gave chase.

Even as he ran across rooftops, Heller's aim was true as the gun was surprisingly accurate hit Carnage's back as he ran. The problem was that the bullets didn't seem to slow his running speed, not even get much of a reaction out of him. 

Tired of being shot at, Carnage briefly turned around as he launched several knife-sized projectiles, not only cutting Heller, but a few managed to wedge themselves into the barrel of the gun, jamming it. The killer of Alex Mercer tossed it aside as he changed his attack plan by sending forth a mass of tendrils toward as latched on to Carnage's skin, tearing it off. 

Carnage counters this with a set of his own tendrils, as they lashed with Heller's tendrils. The two sets of tendrils were ensnared into each other, as James and Carnage engaged into a game of tug of war, with their tendrils as the rope. But Carnage prove dto be the stronger as he tossed Heller over the side of a building, but gravity decided to mess him as the weight of the Evolved dragged the killer symbiote along with him.

In the author's attempt to get money from advertisement, the fighters crashed into a Best Buy, as the impact separated them from their mess of tentacles. James picked himself up  just as Carnage changed at him like a mad bull, crashing into a HD TV. Gripping Heller's head, Carnage attempted to fry his face by pushing the head into the sparks of the TV.   

The killer Supervillain was too strong for James to move his head, but where Carnage had greater power, James had his training. And if there was one thing he'd learn from boot camp, when knee deep into s#$/, you got to fight dirty, and the situation certainly called for it.

James swung his knee straight into Carnage's "happy place", and needless to say, the blinding pain left Carnage to loosen his grip, as he held his precious "family jewels". It left him wide open when a large blade cut him across the chest, sending him back a bit, before he was sent further with Heller punching him in the face with a hammerfist. 

As he was sent flying, Carnage crashed into a random mic stand, with the mic falling off and causing feedback, damaging Carnage as a result. He swung a makeshift axe into the stand, destroying it entirely into little pieces, unaware that James took notice of this.

Finding a set of stereos, James plugged in his phone as he  as about to unleash hell. Just then Carnage turned the corner and run at Heller with a roar of psychotic laughter and claws at the ready. But instead of his claws meeting flesh, Carnage would be greeted with pain as James pressed the play button, and unleashed the loudest music of the current year.

Dubstep.

With the loud music without lyrics and only percussion instruments blaring like crazy, Carnage was practically on the ground rolling in pain. Taking on a set of claws, James slashed at Carnage from the left side of his face, then to the right. Carnage in a desperate act, tried to fight back with a punch, but due to loud noise coming from the stereo,  the fist was grabbed by James' palm, before he took the other arm and snapped the serial killer's arm like a twig.

In a rage, many of Carnage's body lashed out as spiked tentacles, slashing at anything and everything in sight. The spikes eventually destroyed the sound system, but he still lashed out in a psychotic rage as he eventually ruptured a pipe. This wouldn't mean much except for the part that the pipe was right next to a sparking TV.

With a collective yell of "Oh s#$/" from the both of the fighters, a large explosion engulfed the back of the store. The fighters landed on the ground, both of them engulfed in flames, not moving an inch as they were burned alive.

More soldiers from Blackwatch rushed to collect the bodies: they might as well try and salvage this fine mess. But they didn't get far with it, as the moment one soldier tried to pick Heller's body, the individual in question grabbed him and absorbed him, healing over the injuries.  Carnage tore apart the soldier that came near, already healed off the wounds from earlier, as he  stared down the man who's come to closest to make a fool out of him, with Heller looking back with a look of equal hatred.

With a roll on the ground, James picked up a nearby rocket launcher and fire upon Carnage, but when the rockets flew towards him, he ducked under one in a Matrix fashion and jumped over the second one. With flick of his wrists, Carnage grabbed a billboard with a mass tendrils before forcibly bringing it down on Heller. Tossing the rocket launcher, Heller ran away from the impact zone before spotting a living Blackwatch troop.

Grabbing him by the throat, James placed his hand on the soldier's head, turning into the same color as his bio-mass abilities. He positioned the makeshift bomb towards Before kicking it like a pro - football player as the soldier spiraled through the air in a comedic fashion. Though to Carnage,  it might have been moving as slow as turtle to him, skillfully dodging it as it soared over him, exploding in the distance.

Enough is enough: he has had it with this motherf@$ing redneck asshole and his motherf@#$ing gimp suit. Heller had one more ace up his sleeve and this didn't kill this guy, nothing will as Carnage started to rush at him, James started to glow red.

Before Carnage's claws could even scratch his face, Heller stomped his foot on the ground, causing a burst of energy to erupt from the ground, launching everything within 10 feet of Heller into the air: cars, street signs the corpses of the Blackwatch soldiers, even Carnage himself. It was quickly followed by an explosion of biomass to spread out in a directions as tendrils, tearing apart anything and everything that got in it's way.

James Heller stood in the middle of the ruined street as he walked through the destruction to find what was left of Carnage,  with multiple holes in his body from being skewered.  James held the body by the neck and prepared to absorb him whole.

"Grow back from this, asshole." Said James as he began the process. But before he could comprehend what just happened, a flash of red crossed his line of vision,  and a sharp pain combined with a lack of movement in his left arm promoted him to find the source. 

His arm was cut clean off.

The sudden rush of pain caused James to scream as he attempted to reattach the arm, but sadly, he didn't get before a mass of webbing ensured him. He looked do the source of it and found Carnage, who had not only survived the explosion,  but it looked like it didn't even get hit by it, as piece of the symbiote started to gather towards the main body.

Turning his only arm into a hammerfist, he took a swing at Carnage,  but the psychotic killer simply held it in his hand,  not even bothering to dodge it. Spiked tendrils began to rise from behind as they headed towards Heller's legs, cutting them off in a bloody fashion, but Carnage wasn't done yet as they planted themselves into his chest.  Carnage held the torso of James into the air, before he threw it down to the ground from a great height.

Heller became a literal stain on the asphalt.

"Now that's I call a fatality! I think I'll go apply for the next Mortal Kombat: I'll certainly make a killing!" Carnage laughed in satanic glee as he walked down the street to continue on his killing spree. Behind him as he turned away was a blood mess that barely described as James Heller.  

KO!
Virgil: Oh, nasty!

Mecha: While James Heller held the edge of a greater arsenal overall,  Carnage's agility kept him out of range from most of them and what did hit him, was instantly healed. Even the Devastator attack could do nothing more than to slow him.  

Virgil: It also didn't help that while Heller had the advantage in terms of fighting experience,  Carnage had faced a better group of fighters. But points to James for catching onto the sound thing pretty quick. But in the end, James Heller fell flat.

Mecha: The winner is Carnage.
