User blog:El Alamein/Voldemort vs. General Grievous



As the final days of Hellstorm approach, two truly evil and brutal forces come to blows in a battle between science and magic! Voldemort, the Dark Lord of the wizarding world whose desire for global domination and the destruction of his enemies brought thousands to their deaths and all to utter his name in whispers, takes on General Grievous, the former Kaleesh warrior and great general of the Confederate military, whose masterful lightsaber skills brought countless Jedis and Clone Troopers to their violent ends! It's ranged combat against melee skills and tyrant against tyrant as these two clash to decide who is the deadliest warrior!

Tom Riddle, later to be known as the evil Voldemort, is the son of a abused witch and a Muggle who was put under a love potion by his mother. After his father left them once his mother stopped using the love potion, she abandoned Voldemort at an orphanage and comitted suicide by starvation. Abused and bullied, Voldemort knew he was special and often played dangerous tricks on his enemies. Approached by Albus Dumbledore to attend Hogwarts, Voldemort studied the Dark Arts along with regular magic. After his seven years at Hogwarts, Voldemort created seven Horcruxes and set about to rule the wizard world and rid it of Muggle-borns, refered to as "mud-bloods". Learning of a prophecy of his demise, Voldemort hunted down a small boy named Harry Potter to kill him. However, his mother's love shielded Harry from the blast, causing Voldemort to leave in defeat. Fourteen years later, Voldemort was once again risen to full power to conquer the wizard world. While Potter began to hunt his Horcruxes, Voldemort began to take over the wizarding world with his army of fifty de Death Eaters. Launching an attack on Hogwarts for Potter, Voldemort finally duals Harry. The duel results in Voldemort's death, as Voldemort's wand refuses to kill its true master, Harry, and sends his Killing Curse flying back at him.

General Grievous (represented by the Fury o' the Desert)
General Grievous was originally a deadly Kaleesh warrior named Qymaen jal Sheelal. For generations a race of insect-like creatures known as the Huk (roughly "souless bugs") ripped apart the Kaleesh homeworld, turning it into a war-torn wasteland, all in the name of taking the Kaleesh people as slaves. In this war, Qymaen learned the art of war and rose into a master strategist, and he made enough kills to be hailed a demi-god by his people. Under his command, the Kaleesh people not only force the Huk off of Kalee, but nearly conquered all of Huk space- finally chasing the insects back to their homeplanet. Grievous was presented to Count Dooku as the ultimate weapon for their coming war with the Republic, and after being personally trained in the art of lightsaber combat by the Count, Grievous was appointed the position of Supreme Commander of the Droid army. Retaining all of his military brilliance and skill in battle, but armed with deadly lightsaber skills, an incredibly durable armor suit, superhuman strength and speed and a burning hatred for the Republic's Jedi Order, he became a fearsome foe that murdered dozens and dozens of Jedi during the Clone Wars- keeping relatively secret from the Republic for a large part of it. After he lead an attack on the Republic capital, Coruscant, Grievous was able to capture Palpatine, who unbeknownst to anyone was manipulating both sides of the conflict, but as he escaped the Jedi Mace Windu crushed his armor into his stomach and chest- causing him to become much slower and have horrible coughing fits as he was unable to fix the wound by the time Palpatine was rescued by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi or by the time Obi-Wan was able to track him to Utapau, where he was finally killed after a long and dangerous battle with the Jedi Knight.
