User blog:BattleGames1/Deadliest Warrior Battle 6 - Miyo Takano vs Max Payne



Ladies and gentlemen, warriors and warrioressess... welcome to the first fictional battle written by me, BattleGames1!

Miyo Takano, the mad scientist who terrorised an entire Japanese village with a deadly viral disease...

vs

Max Payne, the brutal DEA agent who went on a mass killing spree to avenge those who done him wrong...

'''Who... is... DEADLIEST'''

Miyo Takano
Miyo Takano was an orphan adopted by a Japanese scientist who was working on a virus local to the village of Hinamizawa. Miyo's father was criticized for his work, which stated that the Hinamizawa Syndrome's effects, namely violent behavior could be triggered by the death of a "queen carrier". After her father died, Takano continued his work, determined to prove him correct. Takano planned to do this by killing the "queen carrier" and causing the entire village to go insane. In order to gain access to the village, Takano joined a conspiracy of politician born before the Second World War, who intended to weaponize the Hinamizawa Syndrome and use it to restore Japan's position as a major military power. Takano was given control of a force of troops, the Yamainu, who she used to eliminate any threats to her plans, thought Takano herself was quite willing to commit murder and did so on a number of occasions. Takano lived in the village of Hinamizawa while preparing her plans, posing as a nurse in a local clinic. In addition to proving her father right, Takano also believes that by killing off the village of Hinamizawa in a mysterious accident believed to be the result the curse of Oyashiro, a local god, Takano will herself become a god, at least in metaphorical sense. Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni covers multiple parallel universes. In most of them, Takano succeeds in killing the "queen carrier", a girl named Rika Furude, plunging the village into madness, and then killing off the inhabitants with poison gas. However, in the final arc of Higurashi, Takano is defeated by the combined efforts of Furude and her friends Keiichi Maebara, Rena Ryuguu, Mion and Shion Sonozaki, Satoko Houjou, and several others.

Max Payne
Max Payne is the main character in the Max Payne video game series and film. He is an officer for the New York Police Department. After discovering the dead bodies of his wife and daughter, Payne becomes distraught. He soon transfers to the DEA and goes after his family's murderers. He ends up slaughtering the key leaders in the mafia that organized Payne's family's death. He is arrested for his recklessness but is released after being pardoned by a senator. Two years later, Payne is again a detective for the NYPD. He goes after a group of hired guns and ends up taking them down along with a Russian Mob member.Max is an antihero as he himself says "I was not one of them, I was no hero." On the other hand, he is not a morally ambiguous protagonist - he does not kill the cornered Vinnie Gognitti, and tries to get information from the Finito brothers by "playing it Bogart" and not bursting through the door with guns in hand. Max is trying to claim only one thing that is right in his eyes - to avenge his loved ones. However, he has not nullified his feelings - he is taken with the contract killer Mona Sax first they meet, and befriends Vladimir Lem - a criminal without friends. Max is shown to be quite aware of his shortcomings and flaws, stating to his friend Raul Passos, "I'm not slipping. I'm slipped. I'm a bad joke."

For this battle, I will be using the Max Payne post-Max Payne 3.

Weapons
Miyo and her Yamainu troops arm themselves with...

Melee Weapon 1 - Nightstick
The Nightstick was type of baton with a short side handle at a right angle to the shaft, about six inches from one end. The main shaft is typically 61 centimetres (24 in) in length. They are derived from the tonfa, an Okinawan kobudō weapon, and are used with a similar technique (although Tonfas are usually used in pairs, whereas side-handle batons are not). The advantages of a side-handle baton over a straight baton are numerous, but there are disadvantages too.

Melee Weapon 2 - Syringe
The syringe is more or less an improvised weapon but in this battle, the syringe that Miyo will use is filled with the Hinamizawa virus (in fact, she may have more than one). Weapon-wise, the hypodermic needle part of the syringe has a thickness that ranges between 7 and 33 gauge (ie between 4mm and 0.21mm). For the purposes of this battle, the syringe will have a needle of 16 gauge (the minimum length required for blood transfusion or injection).

Short Range 1 - Colt M1911
The M1911 is a semi-automatic pistol that fires the .45 ACP. The weapon is single-action and is recoil-operated. It is also semi automatic handgun with an 7-round magazine. The weapon has an effective range of 50 meters.

Short Range 2 - Browning Hi-Power
The Browning Hi-Power is a 9mm handgun with a 13-round magazine and an effective range of about 50 meters.

Medium Range - MP5SD
The MP5SD is an MP5 submachine gun equipped with an integral suppressor. The weapon fires 9mm ammunition from a 30-round magazine at 700 rounds per minute with a range of about 100 meters. The bullet leaves the muzzle at subsonic velocity, so it does not generate a sonic shock wave in flight. As a result of reducing the barrel’s length and venting propellant gases into the suppressor, the bullet’s muzzle velocity was lowered anywhere from 16% to 26% (depending on the ammunition used) while maintaining the weapon’s automation and reliability. The weapon was designed to be used with standard supersonic ammunition with the suppressor on at all times.

Long Range - Howa Type 64
The Type 64 is a gas operated, selective fire weapon, chambered for the standard NATO 7.62 x 51 mm ammunition. At that time it was the newest US creation. However the Type 64 fires Japanese cartridges with reduced powder loading and with a lighter bullet, as the original NATO round was too powerful for Japanese soldiers. It reduced excessive recoil and muzzle climb. This weapon can also uses the standard NATO ammunition. This weapon has an effective range of 400 m. The Howa Type 64 was tested alongside the US M14 for comparison. The Japanese rifle was found to be superior in terms of accuracy. However, the Type 64 has a reputation for low reliability.

Special Weapon - Hydrogen Sulfide Grenade
Hydrogen Sulfide is a gas containing hydrogen and sulfur (obviously) and is known for its rotten egg-like odor. In concentrations of over 1000 parts per million, the gas can kill quickly, and as little as 50 ppm can cause eye damage, with death becoming possible at 320 ppm. The gas was chosen by Takano as it is also sometimes released in volcanic events, for plausible deniability of her atrocities in Hinamizawa. From what can be seen in Higurashi, the poison gas the Yamainu used to kill off the townspeople may have been this gas - shown to take a short period of time before the gas reaches lethal levels.

Explosive Weapon - RPG-7
The RPG-7 Rocket Launcher is a widely used, portable, shoulder-launched rocket propelled grenade weapon system. The launcher is based around a simple tube, 40 mm (1.57 inch) in diameter, 95.3 cm (37.4 inches) in length, and weighing 7 kg (15 lbs). The middle of the tube is wood wrapped to protect the user from heat, and the end is flared to assist in blast shielding and recoil reduction. The warhead of the RPG rocket is about 85mm.

Max, accompanied by 4 DEA officers, return fire with...

Melee Weapon 1 - Baseball Bat
The baseball bat is a club-like "tool" used in the sport of baseball. The MLB regulations for a baseball bat are 2.75 inch diameter and a length of 42 inches or smaller. Many are not corked or hollowed out, because it reduces its weight and increases speed. In high school leagues and Little Leagues, bats are made of aluminum or other metals because of the lethality of a broken bat flying at a player or the audience. The bat is intended to be used in baseball and not as a weapon. However, the baseball bat has become a staple weapon for mobsters and rioters. It is a simple bludgeoning weapon that can inflict pain, shatter bones, and kill. For the purposes of this battle, Max will wield a wooden baseball bat (as can be seen in the game).

Melee Weapon 2 - Lead Pipe
The lead pipe is a rather short piece of metal, used as an improvised combat instrument. It deals relatively little damage, but is swung fast. It requires the user to approach the intended target to a very close distance, this way dangerously exposing the bearer to any incoming attacks. The armament is weaker than the baseball bat, as it has a shorter reach and deals less damage. It is only used as a last resort weapon whenever someone runs out of guns.

Short Range 1 - Taurus PT92
The PT92 is a semi-automatic handgun that shoots 9x19mm parabellum rounds. As a result, it causes moderate to small amounts of damage, depending on the range of its target. This gun is Max Payne's standard handgun in Max Payne 3, replacing his 9mm pistol.

The PT92 is a licensed reproduction of the Beretta 92 series by a Brazilian arms manufacturing company, Taurus. The Taurus is distinguished from the Beretta by its frame-mounted safety, which it retains from the original Beretta 92, whereas the 92FS has its safety mounted on the slide. Even from a distance, this makes the two guns easy to tell apart.

Short Range 2 - Glock 22
The standard pistol carried by agents of the DEA. The Glock 22 is a .40 S&W version of the full-size Glock 17 introduced in 1990. The pistol uses a modified slide, frame, and barrel to account for the differences in size and power of the .40 S&W cartridge. The standard magazine capacity is 15 rounds.

Medium Range - UMP40
Although Max Payne's main guns are his MAC-10s, for this battle, he is 'forced' into using the standard-issued DEA SMG, the UMP40. The UMP is a blowback operated, magazine-fed submachine gun firing from a closed bolt. As originally designed, the UMP is chambered for larger cartridges than other submachine guns like the MP5, to provide more stopping power against unarmored targets (with slightly lower effectiveness at longer range) than the 9x19mm MP5 provides. A larger cartridge produces more recoil, and makes control more difficult in fully automatic firing. To mitigate this, the cyclic rate of fire was reduced to 650 rounds/min (600 rounds/min for the UMP45), which makes it one of the slower firing submachine guns on the market.

Long Range - LWRC M6A2 D-DEA
The M6A2 rifle is a standard carbine available in various barrel lengths and in either 5.56mm NATO or 6.8mm SPC. The M6A2 rifle is ideal for those who utilize optical sights as it employs a low- profile gas block. The special DEA configuration M6A2 has all of the standard features of the M6A2 plus some added features. The carbine weighs 7.3lbs, fires, is almost 35.5 inches long and fires off 5.56 NATO ammunition at a rate of 700rpm.

Special Weapon - Molotov Cocktail
A Molotov cocktail, also known as a petrol bomb, incendiary bottle etc, is a homemade incendiary grenade made from a glass bottle filled with gasoline or other flammable liquid, and a rag or other flammable object, such as a roll of paper, as a crude fuse.

Explosive Weapon - M79 Grenade Launcher
The M79, commonly known as the Thumper is a single-shot, break action grenade launcher first adopted in 1960. The launcher was designed to give infantry squads greater firepower, and was intended to fire a grenade further than it could be thrown by hand, with more accuracy than older rifle grenades. The weapon thus intended as a sort of middle-ground between a hand grenade and a mortar.

Personal Edges
Melee 1: The baseball bat has been used in riots and mobs by the aggressors while the nightstick was used by the riot police, who whooped the aggressors back. Same logic applies in this battle - even though Max is the one holding the bat.

EDGE: Miyo Takano

Melee 2: The syringe is a deadly weapon in the hands of Miyo but IF AND ONLY IF she can get up close to Max. Out of the last resort weapons, the lead pipe has a greater reach despite not being as deadly as the syringe (or the virus inside).

EDGE: Max Payne

Short Range 1: Although the M1911 is a very popular weapon because of its recoil design meaning faster deliver and the pistol has the larger calibre bullets, the Taurus PT92 is lighter, more compact and has a larger magazine.

EDGE: Max Payne

Short Range 2: Both guns are equally deadly in the hands of their users but the Browning Hi-Power isn't as powerful, nor does it have the bigger magazine, as the Glock 22.

EDGE: Max Payne

Medium Range: Both guns are essentially the same in almost every aspect. The only difference between the two that is the UMP40 fires the bigger bullets but the MP5SD fires its bullets much faster

EDGE: Even

Long Range: The Howa is a good weapon to use, but the M6A2 is that more modern and sophisticated than the Type 64, also more reliable.

EDGE: Max Payne

Special Weapons: Both these grenade-like weapons prove themselves deadly, but with the gas grenade, the lethality is much higher and more widespread than the Molotov (mind you though, if the gas came into contact with fire, the gas would ignite).

EDGE: Miyo Takano

Explosives: Although the RPG is heavier than the M79, it does carry a much deadlier payload and is more accurate since the rocket is aimed at and will zipline to the intended target

EDGE: Miyo Takano

Battle Notes
This battle will take place on a dockyard in New York City and will have Miyo and her Yamainu troops unloading some cargo (syringes of the Hinamizawa syndrome) and preparing to deliver them to hospitals around the city. The prologue will have Miyo and her troops back in Japan immediately before they leave for New York, Detective Ooshi tipping off the DEA before being silenced by a Yamainu soldier, and Max being hauled up before the DEA after his adventures in Sao Paulo.

The ending to this battle will be decided by your votes as to who wins.
 * If Miyo wins, then Max will have Miyo restrained and then as he struggles to hold the pain, is 'mistakenly' told that the 'drugs' she is carrying are painkillers which means he takes it and succumbs to the Hinamizawa syndrome.
 * If Max wins, he kills Takano and drives away with the truck full of syringes
 * If its a draw, the ending is same as if Miyo wins but this time, Max will kill Miyo after he mistakenly tells her

Voting will be done through commenting as usual and the battle will be written up by the 5th of February as well as the briefing for the next battle.
