Welcome Deadliest Fiction Users to this weeks Battle. On Todays Battle we have these two very old and legendary warriors of their universe going head to head.

Gandalf: Also known as Gandalf the Grey and later when he is reincarnated from death Gandalf the White. Was an Istar. Istari were Maiar that were specially chosen by the Valar to help aid the people of Middle-earth in the fight against evil. The Istari (Men called them Wizards) took the form of Men, but possessed much greater physical and mental power. For over 2,000 years, Gandalf worked most faithfully against the rising powers of evil in Middle-earth. Gandalf is a longtime friend of both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins of Hobbiton of the Shire and when he discovers Bilbo hiding the One Ring knows that the Shire will not be safe as long as it is there. With the help of young Frodo the hobbit along with his friends Sam, Merry, and Pippin take the one ring to Rivendell for the calling of the Council of Elrond where the fate to decide the One Ring and all of Middle-Earth would be made. Gandalf would become one of the 9 members of the Fellowship and journey with them until his death against the Balrog. However he would return much more stronger then before becoming Gandalf the White. From then on Gandalf would assist Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and the Men of the West in combating Sauron and Saruman's forces to stop the forces of Evil and give Frodo time to destroy the One Ring.

But can this Wizard stand a chance against the most Powerfulest Jedi Master of Galactic History?

Yoda: Was one of the most renowned and powerful Jedi Masters in galactic history. He was known for his legendary wisdom, mastery of the Force and skills in lightsaber combat. Yoda served as a member of the Jedi High Council in the last centuries of the Galactic Republic and reigned as Grand Master of the Jedi Order before, during and after the devastating Clone Wars. Following the First Battle of Geonosis, Yoda held the title of Master of the Order in addition to that of Grand Master. In his centuries of service to the galaxy and the Force, Grand Master Yoda had a hand in the training of nearly all the Jedi in the Order, including such luminaries as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Oppo Rancisis; all of which would come to serve on the Jedi Council along with him. Later, before dying and becoming one with the Force in 4 ABY, the exiled Jedi Master was responsible for the instruction of Luke Skywalker who would use Yoda's training as a basis for the creation of a New Jedi Order, after defeating the Sith. Following his death, Master Yoda retained his identity within the Force and was revered as among the most legendary Jedi Masters of all time by Skywalker's reconstituted Order.

Battle Notes of the Battle
1 vs. 1

Gandalf's Weapons will have Magic covering them so the Lightsaber won't be able to destroy them so easily.

Weapons
Both of these Warriors had their iconic weapons with themselves all the time to fight their enemy

Gandalf wielded not one but TWO weapons

His Wizard Staff

 * Gandalf utilises his staff for various spells and abilities against his enemies
 * forged for the Elf Turgon, the King of Gondolin during the First Age.

The Lightsaber

 * Yoda was a master of lightsaber combat, being one of the greatest duelists of all time
 * It was said that only Mace Windu, Count Dooku and Palpatine were able to fight with him on equal terms.
 * Although a master of all forms, his preferred style was Form IV: Ataru, a form which he mastered to its highest degree, as it enabled him to overcome the limitations of his height and reach
 * Despite his age, Yoda was an exceptional swordsman, displaying amazing speed and dexterity, leaping through the air and twirling as he battered at an opponent's defenses
 * Much of his lightsaber combat style relied on jumps and acrobatics, many of which were aided by the Force and augmented by his mastery of Force Valour.

Expert's Opinion
Ohhhhhh this is so close so close. Gandalf and Yoda are both equal in everything. They are skilled with their Weapons, they are skilled and have many powerful abilities. But in the end I have to give my edge to Yoda. What really brings him the victory here is his incredible Speed and Agility that I don't know if Gandalf will be able to keep up with this guy.
