SE7EN BR

Greed, Lust, Envy, Sloth, Wrath, Pride, Gluttony....The seven sins that compose the compendium of the worst side of humanity. In real life, many, if not all, of us have traces of these sins embed within our mind and behavior. However, most of us only possess an innocuous amount of these sins that is far from enough to render us unhealthy, let alone "sinful". However, in fictional works, many put these sins into practice in the most extreme ways possible, qualifying them as perfect representations of these sins.

Black Mask, the avaricious Gotham city crimelord who commits extreme acts of cruelty for his wealth.
Kai Leng, the arrogant and universally-hated assassin whose swagger way exceeds skills.
Rose the Hat, the evil witch who sustains her immortality through non-stop consumation of steams.
Melone, the pervert stand user whose stand literallly impregnates people.
Father Gascoigne, the furious hunter who is too angry to stop his rampage.
Michael Myers, the apathetic slasher that shows zero remorse to his preys.
Kraven the Hunter, NYC's big game hunter whose jealousy eventually drove him insane.

When all of them are summoned to kill each other in a BR, only one shall survive in the end and be granted with a chance to satisfy his/her darkest desires related to his/her sin.

Greed[]

“

I was worth over 5 hundred million dollars ! Now I want all of that back !

— Roman to Lex Luthor, after escaping from Damian Wayne's secret prison

”

Like all Batman villains, Roman Sionis had a rought childhood thanks to bullies from campus and abusive parents, who were in turn murdered by him brutally when Roman became a supervillain.

Forever motivated by the desire to obtain more wealth, Roman tried a lot of methods to make money, including running a cosmetic company, becoming a mob boss and leading a cult called False Face Society. During his involvement in FFS he inherited a cursed, black mask, which blessed him with psychic powers but cursed him with psychopathy.

Roman would continue his career of crime with the nickname Black Mask. He eventually became another member of Batman's rogue gallery and resident of both Arkham Asylum and Black Gate. Unlike other Batman villains who were guided by insanity, instincts or need to prove their superiority over mankind, Black Mask's crimes, regardless of type, were usually associated with gaining more wealth for himself - such as running an underground casino or stealing precious artifects from museum. In fact, Roman Sionis is so obsessed with money that the first thing came to his mind after Lex Luthor, who has recently gained godly powers, offered to enlighten him and update his gadget, the first thing he planned to do was hatching up plots to regain his wealth, instead of pulling off magnificent stuff like Captain Cold or Sinestro.

Apart from fighting Batman, Roman, interestingly, often comes into conflicts with Catwoman (Comics), with the latter particularly detesting Roman.

Powers & Equipment[]

Black Hardwood Mask : Black Mask wears a skull-shaped mask to conceal his identity and intimidate others when he engages in criminal activities. However, the mask is more than just a cool outfit.
- Protection: The mask, made out of magically enhanced material, offers Roman protection against attacks launched at his head. The protection is limited, since batarangs and Catwoman's claws are able to puncture it with relative ease.
- Mind Control: With his mask, Black Mask has some psychic link to people's minds. Thanks to these links, he is able to control other people's mind. For individuals with simple or animalistic minds, such as Killer Croc and Clayface, their minds get controlled instantly (Detective Comic Vol 2 #9 ). However, Black Mask cannot control people with strong will such as Batman or people with similar abilities/gadgets such as Mad Hatter (Mad Hatter, an expert of mind control, not only resisted Black Mask's control, but also struck back and controlled Black Mask's mind ). Roman can focus on several people simultaneously - he mind controlled Clayface, Killer Croc, Tweedle Brothers and several other inmates to protect Doctor Arkham when the Court of Owls launched their assault on the asylum.
- Resistance to Mind Control : Black Mask, when wearing his mask, can resist mind-related assaults from others. But he failed to resist mind assaults launched by DC's most capable mind controller - Mad Hatter.
- Mental Pain : Even if Black Mask can't control the minds of some people, he is still able to inflict mental pain upon them, making them catch headache. He did so to Batman and several other people. The severity of the headache depends on Black Mask's condition and concentration.
- Limitation & Drawback : Roman cannot attack targets who he fail to notice.The actual effect of his psychic attacks depends on his concentration and his psychic attacks don't work very well when too many targets are present. When he turned to engage Mad Hatter in Detective Comic Vol 2 Annual 2, his psychic attacks on Batman stopped completely and his control over his thugs were weakened which led to the thugs performing poorly. In addition, when he, alongside several other Gotham villains, fought Rogues during Forever Evil, he also struggled to dish out effective psychic attacks due to the presence of multiple targets. The Mask also makes Black Mask unstable and prone to violent outburst.

Firearms : Black Mask is usually seen using typical mobster firearms such as pistols, grenades and SMGs. The specific brands of those weapons are hard to determine due to their appearances changing every time. For the purpose of this battle, he will be offered a pistol (M1911, one of the most commonly drawn pistols in Batman-related comics), two grenades ( Mark II) and an SMG ( Uzi, one of the most commonly drawn SMGs of recent Batman comics ).
Small blades : Black Mask also carries several small daggers to assist his combat. He will be offered two daggers of regular size.

Hand-to-hand combat (advanced) : Black Mask is a highly capable fighter, being able to put up even fights against both Batman and Catwoman.
Master Tactician: The fact that Black Mask always remains as one of the most powerful crimelords in Gotham and a notable presence in the rogue gallery of Batman is enough to prove his capability as a tactical mastermind.

X-factors[]

Experience : Very experienced. He combats heroes and villains of Gotham on a daily basis and has participated in several major universal events as pawns of big names like Lex Luthor and the Syndicate
Intelligence : High. A capable mob boss, orator and CEO. Comparable to the intelligence of Penguin and Two-face, but below Joker , Riddler and Batman.
Brutality : Extreme. Roman is extremely sadistic and torturous, he has no qualm about commiting crimes with Joker-level cruelty, such as killing children, murdering subordinates for no reasons and feeding someone with the flesh from the dead body of her love.
Physicality : Peak human, comparable to Batman, Joker and Catwoman.
Stealth : Average. Can ambush others like normal humans, but seldomly employs stealth due to - A ) his arrogance; B) him being a high-ranking mob boss.

Pride[]

“

Woefully arrogant and less than competent, Kai Leng did horribly. He simply did not live up to his ego. Eat shit, Kai.

— Leolab to Kai Leng

”

Kai Leng joined the Alliance miltiary but got discharged due to him murdering a Krogan in cold blood. Then the Illusive Man recruited him and let him work as an assassin.

Later, Kai Leng assisted Cerberus during his failed coup. He battled Thane Krios and somehow managed to inflict wound on the latter, which led to Krios's death.

He then battled Shepherd on several occasions. He introduced himself as a badass everytime, but ended up failing or fleeing cowardly. Finally, after a failed attempt at taking Miranda Lawson's life, Kai Leng fled without the knowledge of a tracking device having been placed on him. This incident allowed the S.A. to launch a massive assault on the villains' HQ during which Kai Leng got killed by Shepard.

Powers & Equipment[]

Monomolecular Blade: A blade that comes in the form of a Ninjato. It is extremely thin and capable of cutting through powerful barriers like kinetic field. But destroying it takes very little effort, since Shepard snapped it almost effortlessly.
Palm Blaster: A device installed on his palm that shoots out kinetic-based projectiles. It can also temporarily generate an energy shield that blocks small projectiles coming at Kai, but cannot block non-physical attacks, powerful physical attacks or melee attacks.
Tactical Cloak:A device that makes him invisible. But instead of using it to boost his stealth, Kai Leng tends to reveal himself and deactivate the cloak when he attacks due to his arrogance.
Hand-to-hand combat (above average):Having received training during his time in Alliance Military and Illusive Man, Kai Leng can be considered as someone who possesses above average close quarter skills.

X-factors[]

Experience : Fairly experienced consider his experience in Alliance Military and service under Illusive Man. He has participated in several major battles throughout the game and faced a good number of powerful opponents (albeit unsuccessfully) such as Shepherd and Thane.
Intelligence : Average. Although he is not necessarily stupid, Kai Leng appears to be rash and simple-minded, never demonstrating feats of high intelligence.
Brutality : Pretty brutal. Dude got kicked out of standard army due to being brutal.
Physicality : Above human due to cybernetic enhancement. He can run, hop and attack faster than humans, but not fast enough to render him a superhuman or metahuman.
Stealth : He is stealthy when he puts up his cloaking device, which he somehow always forgets. But when he is not he tends to reveal himself quickly.

Gluttony[]

“

Live long, eat well.

— Rose's motto

”

Rose the Hat is one of the many evil beings that plagued Stephen King's novel universe. She is best characterized by her giant top hat, desire to consume more steam to sustain the life of herself and highly manipulative personality.

As the current leader of the True Knot - a cult of undying people with telepathic powers that relied on consuming the souls of children (which are called steam by Rose & her friends) with the Shining to extend their lives, Rose traveled around USA in caravans, brutally murdering children with the Shining and consuming their souls on their way. As their steam storage began to exhaust , they laid eyes on a girl with immense Shinning named Abra Stone and decided to track her down.

Unfortunately, Dan Torrance is the girl's uncle. Training and encouraging the girl to fight back, the girl managed to block Rose's mind infiltration. Goaded by the hunger for fresh steam, Rose and her men came for Abra, but were met with fierce resistance from Dan, Abra and Dan's associates, which ended up killing most of her men.

After losing nearly all of her followers, Rose was invited to a final showdown at the ruins of Hotel Overlook. Venturing to the cursed place with great confidence, Rose engaged in a psychic battle with Dan & Abra, temporarily gaining the upper hand thanks to her skills and experience, but eventually she and her last remaining followers got overwhelmed and decimated by the combined assault of Dan, Abra and ghosts of Overlook Hotel.

Powers & Equipment[]

Small Knife: Rose makes use of a small knife to gut open her victims in a ritualistic manner in order to stir up their fear so that their steam can be refined. It is impossible to determine the specific stat of this knife based on descriptions in book so it will be a regular switch blade in this battle.
Steam Bottle : Rose will be bringing a small bottle of steam (like she did during her final confrontation with Dan）in this battle. When she consumes the steam, she will temporarily possess peak human strength, speed, agility, durability, healing speed and endurance. However, heavy physical damage like being shot or hacked several times can nulify the effect and proceed to hurt her like a normal human.
Superhuman Senses : Thanks to her psychic powers, Rose can sense the presence of other creatures, including humans and ghosts, around her, even when these creatures are actively hiding from her.
Astral Projection: Rose can project her soul to other places. In the novel, she projected her soul to Abra's house from the cult's base, which was several states away from Abra's home. Therefore, in this battle, she can freely project her soul to all location in the arena. However, apart from scouting and infiltrating minds of others for information without them noticing, Rose cannot do anything else with this ability. The process of astral projection also requires her to completely focus on it, leaving her physical body unprotected at her original location.
Strong Resistance to psychic attacks : Rose can resist psychic attacks of others. She completely ignored mind control from Audi, a lady with Shining that allows her to implant decisions into other people.She also shrugs off attacks from Dan and Abra. However, she could not resist Overlook Ghosts.
Mind Control / Thought Implantation: By focusing at someone near her, Rose can infiltrate and control their minds. Although she can only focus on one individual at a time and the control can be broken free by those with greater psychic power or her distraction, she can still do a lot of stuff with this power, such as sending people to commit suicide or perform tasks for her (as long as the targetted individual remains in her sight).
Mind Reading: Rose can read the minds of other humans when she concentrates on someone either in her astral form or normal form. Individuals with strong will or similar psychic powers can resist or prevent her from reading their minds. However, most people won't even notice her infiltration.
Paralysis Inducement : Rose can temporarily send one to two people into paralysis by focusing on them. Distraction or heavy damage done to Rose can nulify this.
Master Actor & Skilled Manipulator : Rose is a skilled actor and charismatic manipulator, which helped her continue expanding her cult and disguise herself as normal member of society. She can also manipulate others into doing things that benefit her and her cult with her charisma and psychic powers.
Limitation & Drawbacks of her powers : Like Black Mask, many of her attacks rely on sustained concentration. In addition, some of her powers leave herself exposed and unprotected. Her arrogance also pushes her to be at times caught by surprise and lose grips over her power temporarily.

X-factors[]

Experience : Experienced judging from how long she has been active (hundreds of years at least). Not very experienced when judged from fighting, because she and her cult majorly targetted children who, despite having shining, couldn't fight back due to fear or the lack of power. The first time she faced someone capable (Dan & Abra) in recent years, she lost disastrously.
Intelligence : Very high. A capable leader, master manipulator and skilled actor who managed to disguise herself and her crew as normal members of society for hundreds of years while slowly recruiting others into her crew, commiting murders (most of these cases ended up classified as missing children cases or undetected) and traveling around the world. She is also well-versed in history and the mechanism of Shining.
Brutality : Very brutal - kills children for life.
Physicality : Athletic human.
Stealth : As stealthy as a regular human when not using her power, literally invisible and intangible when infiltrating minds of others or areas far away from her location with Shining (her physical body remains uncovered and unprotected at the original location).

Lust[]

Di molto !

— Melone's catchphrase used whenever something arousing happens

”

Melone is a foot fetishist, pervert and member of La Squadra Esecuzioni. After Team Bucciarati's is forced to take the road, he attempts to kidnap Trish Una and uses his remote Stand, Baby Face, to battle Giorno Giovanna. Although Babyface nearly massacred the team, it was eventually defeated by Bucciarati's team with fire. Then Giorno turned the remains of babyface into a venomous snake, which crept back to Melone and bit him, resulting in the foot fetishist's death.

Due to the uniqueness of his stand, he has gained a great deal of popularity in JoJo fandom of Japan, China and probably USA, which I seem to understand but fail to understand at the same time.

Stand[]

If you don't know what a stand is, check here.

Baby Face's base entity is an automatic computer-shaped Stand with little combat ability, thus isn't suited for direct confrontation. Its strength resides in its ability to create secondary Stands for Melone to sic on a target. It is laborious to set up, but inherently very safe as a trade-off.

Through its computer Stand, Baby Face has the ability to generate a secondary Stand that will fight in its place. By researching a suitable subject through the pseudoscience of examining a woman's characteristics ranging from one's age or health to their blood type, personality or their horoscope, Melone gathers information and predicts the future homunculus' predispositions. If the data predicts a strong child who is "incompatible" with Melone's target, Melone unleashes Baby Face on the woman and impregnates her with Baby Face's child through undisclosed means.

The development is fast, taking three minutes for a fertilized egg to fully develop into a new homunculus that then appears near the host.

Moreover, if Melone possesses a sample of his target's blood, he can incorporate it into the homunculus so that it automatically feels the target's location and can track them. Stated below are the specific functions of the stand's two parts.

Computer form: The computer part Baby Face is not only responsible for the Homunculus Generation power, but is also used like a regular computer, capable of holding and interacting with the data gathered by Melone.The computer Stand also maintains contact with the homunculus, as if Melone was having an online discussion with the homunculus' spirit. A webcam and microphone allows Melone to show the homunculus images and converse with it orally. It also monitors the homunculus' status, allowing Melone to watch its growth.

Homunculus form:The secondary Stand or homunculus that Baby Face creates is an independent, long range and power-type Stand that acts as a surrogate fighter for Melone. It is powerful by default, can develop further depending on the progenitor, and its demise doesn't affect Melone, making it useful as a proxy assassin.On the other hand, because of its independence, it can disobey its creator but is also a hassle to create and educate. As a unique mix of human and Stand, the homunculus can be seen by anyone.Unfortunately for it, the homunculus is also vulnerable to mundane things most Stands are immune to like burning.It has the following abilities :
- Shapeshifting and Energy Absorbation via turning things into dices:Upon birth, the secondary Stand is capable of breaking matter apart into cubes while keeping lifeforms alive.To do so, The homunculus creates a square-shaped vacuum that forcefully divides anything it touches into cubes, or simply extracts a singular cubic part of the target.Upon dicing something, Baby Face is capable of rearranging and reconstituting the structure of said objects into anything it desires (Baby Face cubed and transformed Trish into a table), and can even apply its powers to itself, reproducing the appearance of anything and blending in with the environment.The homunculus can thus hide inside an object and go into any adjacent object to evade attacks.Although cubed people typically stay alive despite their condition, this can also be used as an attack by removing key parts of the body like the throat or the brain. The homunculus can also dice people then absorb the cubes for nourishment, effetively killing those people.
- Human Intelligence:Baby Face is able to assimilate information witnessed or heard. Through that learning and Melone's counsel,the Stand will become more powerful and efficient in combat. It can also acquire other skills separate from fighting such as driving a motorcycle.On the other hand, it is free-spirited and may go berserk and disobedient if Melone cannot rein it in. For better or for worse, the Stand will then follow its instinct alone when battling an enemy.
- Superhuman Strength, Reflexes & Speed: The stand itself possesses superhuman strength and speed. It brawled with Gold Experience (a stand that possesses superhuman strength and speed) & Gioruno evenly.

For the purpose of this battle, Melone will be provided with sample of male blood that is enough for him to create 1 homunculus - equal to the amount of blood he obtained in his respective episode. He will also be provided with a motorcycle. He is also free to extract blood from other male contestants and hunt down female NPCs to create new homunculus.

Special Note ：Since there will be no targets for him to track, he will be making homunculus solely for the purpose of searching and fighting other warriors while he himself chills out somewhere safe. (this assumption fits with his powers and personality). Melone and his stand(s) count as a team entry, therefore, only eliminating Melone won't supercede this entry as long as his stand remains active.

X-factors[]

Experience : He has been serving as a core member of Squadra Esecuzioni for a few years. It can be safely assumed that he went on many assasination missions and combated some stand users that messed with Passione. He and his stand took down Bruno and Trish. They were also close to taking donw Gioruno, who in turn took them down with his plot armor.
Intelligence : Above-average, since he uses such a complicated stand effectively.
Brutality : No qualm about killing.
Physicality : Regular human.
Stealth : He himself is a regular pervert but his stand can be stealthy thanks to how it works. But his stand becomes obnoxious when it goes berserk or gets cocky.

Wrath[]

Beasts all over the shop... You'll be one of them, sooner or later...

— Father Gascoigne to the good Hunter (the player)

”

Prior to the events of Bloodborne, Father Gascoigne is an experienced hunter who had a loving family. Like all hunters, he devoted himself to fighting the Lovecraftian monsters and mutated beasts of Yharnam, where Bloodborne's story sets.

However, later he succumbed to the blood-drunkenness of the hunt and lost sanity after fighting a lot of monsters. No longer remembering his family and getting fed up with the constant present of monstrous beings, he became a lunatic who hacks indiscriminately at everything he comes across, unleashing his rage over humans and monsters. During one of the killing spree, he encountered and murdered his wife, who came to search for him.

His sanity can be temporarily restored by playing his daughter's music box to him, but after remaining calm for a little while he would descend into rage once again.

Equipment & Powers ( Human form)[]

Expert Combatant and Weapon User : Despite having become insane, Gascoigne retains all of his skills acquired during his service as a hunter. He is adept at using firearms and melee weapons. He is also capable of outfighting small monsters of Bloodborne like mutated dogs, tentacled Celestial Minions, infected villagers, etc with bare hands.
Superhuman Endurance: FG can tank a lot more damage than a regular human - he can tank 20 to 30 direct shots from his own pistol. For the purpose of this battle his total health will be roughly equal to Michael Myers's total health, since both can tank roughly similar amount of damage.
Magical Hunter Axe : The axe, as seen in the pic, functions like a normal giant axe. Why do I call it magical ? Because once FG loses 1/3 of his health, it will transform into a double-handed axe automatically, enhancing its versatility.
Hunter Pistol : This pistol looks like an oversized flintlock pistol, but it fires at a slightly higher rate and can dish out greater damage, easily tearing through beasts of Bloodborne. However, the reloading process is akin to its real life counterpart. For the purpose of this battle, FG will be packed with 30 rounds.

Beast form[]

When he has lost 2/3 of his health, he will transform into a werewolf-like creature for the rest of the battle. This form is more aggressive and possesses superhuman strength, agility and endurance (he can easily jump onto trees, shatter rocks, dodge bullets and toss people around in this form) . He also gets a new jump attack, which can catch players off guard if they aren't careful. However, his resistance to fire/explosion damage drops significantly and his intelligence vanishes completely, making it easier for people to hide from him or trick him. He also drops all of his equipment on the ground and attacks by slashing others with claws and biting others.

X-factors[]

Experience : Extremely experienced - bascially kept fighting monsters, kins and other hunters for years with minimal rest.
Intelligence : Average but deeply disturbed by his mental state when he is in his human form. Very low (N/A) when in his beast form. Can be tricked easily.
Brutality : Literally attacking everything he comes across.
Physicality : Peak human with superhuman endurance when in his human form. Superhuman when in beast form. Check powers & equipment for more detailed info.
Stealth : N/A. Employs the most straightforward tactics - hacking & shooting all creatures he encounters. Tends to reveal himself quickly by shouting and attacking.

Sloth[]

No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong.

— Sam Loomis on Michael Myer's personality

”

Michael Myers is a masked serial killer who kills victims on Halloween in his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois. After escaping from a mental institution in 1978, his killing spree has had no end and is an unstoppable emotionless murderer.

On Halloween night 1963 in Haddonfield, Illinois, the six-year-old Michael Myers under the influence of an ancient cult, murdered his older sister and was sent to Smith's Grove Sanitarium for 15 years where he was examined by Dr. Sam Loomis. He concluded that Michael was pure evil and would stop at nothing to kill every member of his family.

On Halloween night 1978, Michael escaped and went on a killing spree in his hometown of Haddonfield where he tried to kill his younger sister. Eventually, Dr. Loomis shot him six times in the chest but Michael escaped and stalked the town throughout the night. He found his sister at the hospital where after trying to kill her, Dr. Loomis blows up a room with him and Michael in it. However, they both survive. Micheal's younger sister fakes her death and moves to California while leaving her daughter behind in Haddonfield. In 1988, Michael wakes up from a coma he had been in since Halloween night 1978 and goes after his niece. He continues to hunt down his niece in Haddonfield for seven years while being perused by Dr. Loomis.

Michael is particularly known for his apathy (the second meaning of the sin Sloth) and emotionlessness, showing absolutely no mercy to all creatures.

Throughout the films, Michael has survived from falling down from high places, being shot at point blank multiple times, being burnt, being caught in large explosions, being fired at by an entire police squad,being stabbed multiple times at persumably fatal areas of human body, etc. Note that he isn't immortal, however, since he can be and has been put to a temporary rest after receiving a lot of physical damage.
- Superhuman Durability:Michael Myers rarely shows signs of fatigue and can continue performing superhuman feats unless stopped by brute force.
- Superhuman Agility: Michael Myers is very agile. He can easily climb onto rooftops and jump onto moving vehicles.

Intelligence : Gifted when it comes to stalking and ambushing. Michael shows cunning despite his simple, brutal method of killing, using his skill in stealth to sneak up on and kill unsuspecting victims, often playing dead. He also often kills the power and disables landlines before entering to murder his victims. In his confrontation with Laurie, he left a trail of blood towards the closet and opened the balcony doors to hide his true location, luring Laurie close enough to attack her (from vsbw) . Below average on other aspects - cannot communicate with others, stubbornly focus on his goal of killing even if the situation is dangerous for him.
Brutality : Extreme. A murder machine.
Physicality : Superhuman, for more detailed info check above.
Stealth : Michael Myers is a highly capable stalker and ambusher.

Envy[]

“

So now I see through the Spider's eyes. I wear the Spider's skin. I crawl. Now -- I am the Spider.

— Kraven, expressing his desire to triumph over Spidey by becoming him

”

Kraven is a maniacal big game hunter, mercenary, illegal Russian immigrant,bodyguard, criminal and founding member of Sinister Six who seeks to defeat Spider-Man to prove that he is the greatest hunter in the world. Unlike other hunters, he typically disdains the use of guns or bow and arrows, preferring to take down large dangerous animals with his bare hands. He also lives by a code of honor of sorts, choosing to hunt his game fairly. He consumes a mystical serum to give himself enhanced strength and dramatically slow the aging process. Kraven was trained as a hunter largely by a mysterious man named Gregor, a mercenary who battled Ka-Zar.

However, his aggravation, combined constant defeat at the hands of the superhero, destroyed Kraven's sanity. He was so envious about the fame and success enjoyed by Spider-man that after hatching a scheme that actually defeated Spider-Man, Kraven himself donned a copy of Spider-Man's costume and became a vigilante to prove his superiority. After brutally defeating a villain named Vermin who Spider-man failed to defeat and witnessing Spider-man's re-emergence from defeat, Kraven calmly greeted the hero and explained that his victory over Vermin had made his point.

After this incident, the villain killed himself for his jealousy had been satisfied and he had no more goals to pursue in his life.

This BR happens prior to Kraven's last hunt (the aforementioned story ).

Powers & Equipment[]

Chemical/Magical Enhancement:After Kraven ingested mythical potions and herbs, his physiology underwent several changes endowing him with superhuman physical attributes. His strength, speed,senses, stamina, durability, agility, senses and reflexes are all boosted to peak human or superhuman level, allowing him to go toe-to-toe with other superhumans in marvel such as Spider-Man, Captain America and Wolverine.
Hand-to-hand combat (advanced):Kraven is an expert when it comes to close quarter combat - his skills, combined with his enhancement, allows him to combat beings like Wolverine, Venom and the Lizard evenly in a fist fight.
Various hunting tools : Kraven is packed with a series of hunting tools ranging from a big spear to several small darts, arrows , hatchets and daggers. However, he rejects firearms on most occasions. These weapons function like their real life counterparts, but some of them are rubbed with poisons and magical lotions that empower them to take down powerful individuals like Venom and Spider-man.

X-factors

Experience : Very experienced. He combats heroes and villains of Marvel's New York on a daily basis and has participated in several major universal events as pawns of big names such as Doctor Octopus.
Intelligence : Above-average but not genius. Quick and creative during close quarter combat. Average on other aspects.
Brutality : Not particularly brutal but is nevertheless willing to kill.
Physicality : Peak human to sub-superhuman. Functionally still a human but is able to achieve feats beyond human limitation.
Stealth :One of the stealthiest humans in Marvel due to his hunter motif. Despite his muscular built and great height, Kraven always manages to hide himself from the observations of individuals like Spider-Man, Venom or Punisher and successfully launch surprise attack on those heroes and villains.

Sim[]

All seven contestants are summoned to the arena and ordered to take each other out. They are promised that becoming the victor will grant them with powers and resources to fulfill their darkest desires.They start at different locations - between each of these locations a discreet distance has been maintained, so there is no guarantee about who will encounter who.

The arena is simulated as a small town surrounded by forests. Normal human NPCs make up the arena's population, with most of them clustering in the town while some scatter around the forests. Contestants who somehow reaches the edge of the forest will be warned and forced back. Some of the NPCs will be other warriors in DFederal, but they are present solely for entertainment purposes only and won't affect the battle.

Contestants are also imparted about supply boxes distributed randomly around the arena. These boxes contain conventional weapons such as meat cleavers, axes, machetes, metal pipes as well as small firearms including M1911s, Snub-nosed revolvers, micro Uzis, Double-barreled Shotguns, etc. They contain food supply as well. Apart from turning to these boxes, contestants may obtain food, some weapons and information from the town's population through various means.

Given the relatively small scale of this BR and the arrogance/insanity possessed by virtually every contestant, voters are encouraged to ignore the possibility of contestants forming long-term alliance. However, it is still possible for two to form temporary alliances when both are pursued by someone else, although the possibility of back-stabbing remains high.

Sidenote[]

Listed below are the winning endings for each contestant.

Roman : Roman replaces Larfleeze as the chief of Orange Lantern Corp.
Kai Leng : Kai Leng is teleported back to his first encounter with Shepherd and provided with a duplicate of ultimate nullifier, allowing him to wipe out everyone present and potentially become the most badass warrior in Mass Effect.

The Battle[]

Prelude : The Doomsday Upheaval[]

The Long Corridor, Office of the High Inquisitor, A Timeline long Forgotten[]

"Not gonna lie, mate. Your overall performance certainly exceeds my expectation. At the start I didn't even expect you to last longer than that self-acclaimed chosen one, but look at you now - determined and powerful, coming close to ending my career. " Says the general, as he struggles to reach for the revolver, coughing out blood. Despite having more than a few bones broken and bloody wounds all over his body, the brave man still faces the Incan chief in front of him with professional aplomb.

"Thanks for the compliment, my old friend '.' Although I personally would give more credits to that lady, since basically all of my current powers come from her....Anyway that's not important for you to know, cuz you're going to meet your doom real soon at the hands of the most powerful reality manipulator in the multiverse ! HA !" The chief laughs maniacally, as he draws out his truncheon and points it towards the general. Ghastly hair of Kayako instantly emerges from the weapon and entangles E.A. , detaching both legs from his body. Expecting to see despair on the general's face, the chief is soon shocked to find that the man lying on the ground doesn't even display the slightest sign of anxiety, regardless of the amount of blood that is gushing out of his wounds.

"Still trying to be tough, eh ? Guess the Flamer's right about you - you ain't afraid of death ! "

"No, chief, you're getting it all wrong. As a matter of fact, I do fear death. The very idea of it is enough to make me quiver. The reason why I'm still as calm as I've always been now is that, I'm not going to die. "

"What's the hell are you talking about ? You've got your legs removed, and soon I'll do the same to your arms !"

"Fool. When you and your little friends were busy releasing the prisoners and sending out invitations to the sinned ones for that death match in your brand new timeline, I made some small adjustments to this place - run-of-the-mill adjustments that we used to make on a daily basis for fun when you're still locked in Bandom Zone. " As soon as the general finishes this, the chief freezes in bewilderment immediately. Scanning through his memory for clues and hints about the true meaning of Montgomery's words, it takes a few seconds for him to eventually find out the terrible truth.

"You motherf**ker, I'll kill you - " The chief's speech is truncated, for a few seconds is enough for the general to snatch the Webley and opens fire, blasting the Incan leader's skull.

"We're in Headshot-only Mode, loser !" The high inquisitor lets out a victorious shout, as he watches the chief's body crumbling down and Kayako's soul leaving its host. However, the man's joy of victory is short-lived, for a quick glance at the computer screen shows that the forces of justice and order aren't faring good against Craven's army of villains and abominations. The mounted god who wields the ban hammer has already perished under the combined assault of countless Yetis commanded by a faceless one, while the one that holds the key to this timeline is nowhere to be found. Trotsky and the Hippoman are still fighting fiercely, but they soon meet their ends at the Omega Beam fired from the eyes of the mighty Darkseid.

"This timeline can't be saved now. " The general sighs, as he presses two buttons on the control desk, the first one of which initiates the self-destruction protocol of DFU, while the second one signals an agent of the corridor to do what he always does and does best -

"Barry, run as fast as you can, so that we can get a rebirth. Make it snappy. "

Chapter I : A Priest meets A Prick []

DFU Federal (Post-Rebirth DFU )

Where am I ? What time is it ? Why am I here ? What am I supposed to do ?

Father Gascoigne wanders aimlessly down the forest lane, as questions keep on popping up in the saner parts of his brain. Every time he is about to recall the answer to one of those quesitions, the insanity starts kicking in, once again overwhelming his brain with images and fractured memories of beasts and human abnormalities of central Yharnam. From time to time he alertly turns back, catching sight of nothing but empty forests. "Looks can be deceiving. There are definitely beasts in those cursed woods. " He tells himself repeatedly, as he continues his blind crusade.

Actually, only minutes have passed since the gamemaster imparted all contestants about their objects and the rules, yet the father, unsurprisingly, has forgotten them all except the fact that he is in some sort of contest against six different fighters. He doesn't give a damn about winning. Neither does he worry about being eliminated early. For all of them - his rivals, the gamemaster and all the beings of this alien realm, will sooner or later, devolve into beasts, which means, they are all equally vile beings beyond redemption, and he will kill each and everyone of them. And that alone is the only goal he has and cares.

Meanwhile, up on the hill, Sergei Kravinoff has finished sharpening his tools and readied himself for the hunt. Deep down inside his heart, the desire of winning constantly urges him to strike out and march into the urban area, tracking down all six opponents and eliminating them with brutal efficiency, so that he can finally receive the esteem he craves. However, experience has taught him again and again the he could only found dignity, not in the cities, but in the jungle. His honor and mindset are all deeply inveterated in the green. So he ultimately decides to remain in the woods. Scanning the area below for any potential targets, he notices nothing out of ordinary except a small suitcase on which the word "supply" has been written in bold. Immediately associating it with the supply box mentioned by the host, he quickly makes his way downward and slashes it open with his hunting knife, revealing two grenades, three can of ham and a few magazines. Although delighted, he carefully puts them back and turn the case over while meticulously wiping out his trace to make it seem like nobody has ever come here. Then he shelters himself behind a large rock nearby, dart gun in hands, as he waits for someone to bite the hook. Seldom

Back to the Father, who, after finding no luck in the forest, has reached the edge of the city in search for fresh blood. Being the most populated area of the Federal, the sewer section of Battlefan's section certainly doesn't let him down, for Gascoigne soon spots four figures laughing maniacally while beating down another figure with their canes.

"So, you're the one that wrote the Art of War, eh ? You're certainly incompatible with your words !" Says Alex , as he repetitiously lands blows on the elderly illegal emmigrant lying below him. Sun Tzu has no choice but to groan helplessly and take the beatings, for the poor condition of the prison has worn him down dramatically, and now he is merely a walking husk.

"Beasts....finally." Gascoigne thinks, as he instantly hops forward and draws out his axe, cutting Dim and Geogre in two at their waists in seconds . Pete soon bites the dust too, as the axe hacks right into his skull. Alex, totally dumbfounded, raises his cane in a pathetic attempt at defense. Right before Father could snuff him, an energy blast sent from behind devastates his back, forcing him to collapse down. Taking it as a chance, the old man rolls into the ditch by the road, narrowly escaping an impending doom. Looking toward the source of the blast, Gascoigne discovers a masked figure who has appeared out of seemingly nowhere.

"Now it's fun. " Says Kai Leng, snobbishly, as he unveils the tactical cloak, fully and foolishly exposing himself to the priest. Still pissed about being tricked by that Russian asshole , Kai Leng is in dire need for a punching bag.Assuming Gascoigne as someone inferior merely through judging his costume and signature weapon,Kai Leng cannot wait to tear apart the middle-aged man in front of him and achieve the first blood of this battle royale. "Your rampage ends here -" Hardly has Kai finished his entrance speech when a pistol slips out of Gascoigne's cloak. Hastily generating his energy shield, Kai Leng is able to block the damage, but the impact still sends him crashing back into the pipe mouth from which he popped out.

"You're too slow, old man !" Despite his poor performance, Kai still somehow shamelessly shouts out an insult. Drawing out his sword, he leans it forward, attempting to finish off his opponent. Hardly has he steadied his pose when Father Gascoigne opens fire once again. This time, the bullet tears through his sword-wielding arm, violently detaching it from his body, forcing Kai to let out a painful scream as he slumps backward into the pipe.

"So this is where all the beasts like you come from ? " Mutters the Father, as he fords into the entrance, closing his distance with Kai Leng. " Beasts ? I don't know what you are talking about. I'm not a beast !" Yells Kai Leng, defiantly, as he struggles to fire off more rounds of energy blast with his remaining arm.

" If I don't kill you today, tomorrow you'll be one of them. " Gascoigne remarks coldly, as he shrugs off the damage like nothing and elevates his axe, violently swinging it toward Kai Leng and crashing the assassin's skull, leading to the number in the sky instantly decreasing to six. Unsatisfied with a single strike, the priest persists in hacking at Kai, until his body becomes a mass of unrecognizable flesh.

Interlude : A Poor Man's Hope []

"So, that's how you end up in the sewer once again ? And this is your new home ? Damn, it is even more terrible than your previous one, where you can steal catch some rats. Now you can only roast cockroaches for dinner. " The gloating words from Thane echoes in Kai Leng's mind, as he sits in his new home, focusing on future plans to temporarily escape from the horrible smell. He must find someone to fight, or else he will be stuck in this literal shithole forever. But with challenging Captain Stingaree to a sword duel ruled out due to the crazy pirate somehow retains a bottle of venom, he now has to look into the obscurity for a foe. Paging a ragtag notebook stolen from the sealed parts of S119's sandbox, Kai Leng searches desperately.

"How come all of them are so overpowered ?" He bemoans constantly. Just as he is about to toss it into the cockroach pit, it suddenly dawns on him that he has been too narrow in scope. There are still many suitable opponents for him outside the federal, and in fact, he just happens to know one - a being whose reputation is just as unpleasant as his and whose powers are roughly on par with his arsenal. Snapping a bug with his hands, Kai Leng beams out a hyped smile.After all these years of humiliation, suffering and defeats, he finally sees the light of victory around the corner. Picking up his equipment, he stands up and kicks aside the insects feasting on his mask on the floor, letting out a roar of joy :

Jar Jar Binks, you lucky bastard, HERE I COME !

Chapter II : The Halloween that Ends in A Hunt []

Getting bored over hacking at Kai Leng's corpse, Father Gascoigne leaves the sewer entrance and ventures further into the slump so that he can find more beasts to slaughter. However, before he can make his way into the new area, a tender voice from behind draws his attention. Turning back, the priest sees a woman in purple sweater standing in the close distance, with a top hat staying on her head at odd angles that seemingly defy gravity. A more careful observation soon tells Gascoigne that the woman is different from any Yharnam women who will soon turn into "beasts", for her impressive height, high cheek bones and wide set eyes aren't really common for native residents of that accursed city. Staring into the woman's gleaming eyes, Gascoigne, feels calm for the first time in years. All in a sudden, the mad priest finds that the reddish color that have been keeping his vision blurred in crimson gone, and the urge to kill seems to quite distant as well. Memories from those old days, especially those good memories, soon emerge from his mind, as the outside world becomes iridescent once again.It doesn't take very long for him to recall his wife and daughter.He remembers having dinner with them in their shanty but cozy cottage,chatting and laughing together like any normal family.

"Gascoigne, my dear," The woman begins talking in a tender voice,"As someone who has also at one point headed a family, I can understand your feeling. Follow me and help me with some tasks,then I will reunite you with Viola and the girls." Utilizing information she has gathered by projecting her soul around the arena to locate and read the minds of each and every contestant, Rose the Hat grins, as she uses her power to successfully recruit the strongest contestant. With the first phase of her plan of winning completed, Rose leads the priest into the city."Four more rubes to take down." She whispers to herself, as they head towards the position of the first name on Rose's hit list.

Meanwhile, in another section of the arena, Michael Myers barges into an apartment through its open window. The female inhabitant , who has buried her head in a pile of books written by her favorite author, isn't fast enough to notice this uninvited guest. Quickly thrusting the kitchen knife into the woman's back, Michael relishes over the agonizing scream of his victim, as blood colors all Paul Sheldon books around in red. Heading out of the apartment, the slasher bumps into a girl . Not even sparing time for hesitation, Michael swings his oversized knife across the girl's neck, removing her head instantly. Eager for more easy blood, Michael decides to explore the rooms inside this flat house for more living beings, totally ignoring his main objective like Gascoigne.

Bursting out of the door to seek for more victims, Michael Myers is greeted by Rose the Hat with a heinous smile. "As I have expected, you are quite easy to find." Rose smirks. Underestimating Rose as yet another helpless but arrogant prey, Michael raises his blade.Laughing,the cult leader simply moves her slim body aside to make way for the hunched but muscular husk of her temporary assistance.

Identifying Myers as yet another annoying beast,Gascoigne opens fire. The bullet hits Michael right on the chest, only ending up creating a small hole whose size is moderate at best. Under the order of Rose, the father charges forward, swinging his axe towards the emotionless killer, only to have Michael resist it by grabbing at the handle. Enraged, Gascoigne glares at his opponent,attempting to intimidate him into letting go of the axe,only to find a pair of hollow, souless eyes behind the white mask.

Finding it harder and harder to hold on as the beastly priest increases his pressure, Myers decides to take the initiative via a swift stab to the father's stomach.This decision, however, ended up backfiring, as the father, stirred by the pain, suddenly doubles his strength, pressing the axe into Michael's skull.

Feeling no pain, Michael remains still, but he drops the knife on the floor, for the axe has destroyed his nerve system, preventing him from properly controlling his body. Gladly taking this valuable chance, the father proceeds to deal with Michael by giving him the same treatment as Kai Leng.

"Don't forget to give my regard to Laurie ! It's a shame that such a shining girl has a piece of wood like you as brother. Even though I've only seen her through your mind, it's enough for me to tell that her steam is beyond precious. " Rose remarks, as she orders her stooge to leave the devastated body of Michael Myers so that they can go for her next planned target - a psychic named Roman Sionis, whom in Rose's opinion, is her greatest enemy.

......

Back to the forested area, Kraven is ravished, for after a long period of tiresome waiting, he has finally spotted something - the creature is moving stead-fastly towards the supply box from the edge of the forest. From the way it travels, Kraven can tell that it is intelligent, for the thing somehow manages to hide its entire body in the grass, only making small movements. However, these movements are not in sync with the wind, which is why it has caught the hunter's attention. Slowly and steadily, the hunter aims his dart gun at the area around the box.

The moment the invisible creature reaches the box, a humanoid figure suddenly materializes next to it. Simultaneously, Kraven pulls the trigger and the dart thrusts into the Homunculus's neck.

" Arrrrrrrh !" Shocked, the stand shouts in discomfort, as it pulls the thing out of its body and breaks it apart, discarding it on the floor.Upon realizing that it is just a simple dart, the stand sighs in relief and chuckles, feeling sure that this mortal weapon won't do any harm to him.

Just as he is about to turn to the hill so that he can pick out the ambusher, he is interrupted by sharp pain on his neck and the sound of small objects colliding with the ground. Looking around to seek the source of the noise, his confusion soon morphs into horror, as he shudders to understand that his body is falling apart from the wound on the neck. "Mel...Melone ! What's the f**k is this ?" The powerful but simple-minded creature roars in desperation, as his body crumbles into cubes and his consciousness succumbs to the deadly poison inside the dart that strike fear even in symbiotes and metahumans of all kinds.

Several kilometers away, in the most remote section of the arena, Melone sighs, as the signal on his computer disappears. Packing it up, the Squadra member hops onto his motorcycle, setting out to hunt down another female host for the creation of a brand new Babyface.

Chapter III : Mind Games []

"My friends, as your leader and the proxy of the mask, I'm obliged to tell you that all of you do not serve me, instead, you serve the mask on my face. Know that this mask destroys one identity while creating another ! Know that this mask recreates the wearer! Know that through the sublimation of personality, inhibitions die -- and deeper drives, more primitive instincts, are brought to the surface! " The Black Mask shouts enthusiastically towards the small crowd of people clustering around him, as he infiltrates their minds and turns them into his slaves."Under the leadership of the mask, we are going to start a movement in this town, a movement that will hopefully satisfy those deeper drives and desires of the mask and of myself, for at this very moment I am the mask and the mask is me. " Once finshed, the crowd burst out cheering for his speech under orders from himself. "Good, good ! As the members of our new movement, you are not only uniform in ideas, even your reaction to the same thing is almost homogeneous !" Roman comments unabashedly.

When Roman rejoices over his success in gathering a small army which will hopefully help him become the champion, Melone is busy educating his second Homunculus.Two rivals have already been taken down,which is a piece of good news, however, the fact that his stand hasn't even directly confronted an enemy is troublesome, to say the least, especially when he takes into account the mysterious figure that brought down the first babyface. "Remember, travel around this town stealthily, take down everyone that attacks you or attacks others, and bring back those boxes." Typing the aforementioned sentence repeatedly into the computer, Melone continue to wait anxiously, for this is the only thing he can and he needs to do.

Back to Black Mask, who has, with the help of his mind-controlled thugs, taken over a small building as his base of operation. "The most important thing Gotham has taught me is that people are always on the move, so if you don't take something in the first place, others will take it, which puts you at a disadvantage." Roman contemplates, as he rests in his office, guarded by the controlled Johnson brothers and thinking about the next phase of his plan.Being as cunning as he always is, Roman decides to play defensively - one contestant perished very early in the match, indicating the existence of very powerful contestants whose overall capability might exceed the mask.Therefore, Roman deems it sensible to hide in a highly-guarded place right now before he can collect useful information about his potential enemies from town folks captured by his slaves.

So far his men have already brought back several citizens, but, to the mask's dismay, none has spoken about anything useful.However, Roman isn't entirely unsatisfied, for his men have also taken back some supply boxes filled with firearms and bullets.

......

Projecting her soul around the arena to seek for Roman,Rose easily locates her target.Marching to his headquarter with Father Gascoigne,the duo quickly massacres the guards at the gate, either by cutting them apart or telling them to kill themselves. Hearing the screams from below, Roman and his remaining slaves reacts quickly, retaliating by firing at their enemies with literally every firearm in their hands.

Having already seen it coming through reading Roman's mind, Rose orders the father to shelter her and Gascoigne obeys immediately, standing in front of the knot leader with the axe in hands.Rounds from pistols and SMGs soon riddle the father with bloody holes. In stark contrast to the amount of blood he has lost, the father still acts vigorously, as his axe suddenly transforms into one with two blades. Steadily marching forward to the guards, Gascoinge beheads Ryder as the poor man reloads his shotgun.

"Bunch of useless fools !" The Mask shouts in rage, as he orders Sweet, who has also ran out of ammo as well,to discard his pistol and hit the father with the baseball bat around him. Putting all of his focus on the bulky man, Black Mask forces the leader of GSF to press every fraction of his strength into the strike onto the father's skull, only to have the bat itself destroyed. Not even giving a damn about the brain damage, Gascoigne, still under Rose's mind control, lifts up Sweet Johnson and tosses him backwards into the street. He then turns his attention to Big Smoke, who, despite Gascoigne aka the target standing few inches in front of him and he himself being placed under mind control, still somehow manages to miss it every single shot.Deeming him as unthreatening, the father marches upstairs, casually taking down two remaining thugs by the way.

The second Gascoigne reaches the second floor, he is offered a warm welcome by a hand grenade and Roman's tommy gun. Both fails to put an end to the beast man's rampage, but the grenade is able to send the physical body of Gascoigne a few steps backward.

"Well,you're one tough bastard, I gotta admit. You remind me of a certain associate of mine back in Arkham. Speaking of associate, why don't you join my movement and work for the mask instead ?" Says Roman, as he activates his mental attack, trying to hypnotize Gascoigne into working for him, only to sense that some vital parts of the priest's brain seems to be protected by some sort of thick mental shields. According to his experience, similar barriers also exist in the minds of the bat and some other lunatics, but the barriers between him and the mind of this murderous beast is diffierent, for it doesn't seem natural, as if someone other than the man has forcibly established them preemptively.

His suspicion is soon confirmed, as the sound of another figure climbing up the stairs is heard, and with the sound getting louder, the mental shields seem stronger. When Rose eventually reveals herself to Black Mask, those barriers become seemingly impregnable.Picking up another grenade,Black Mask doesn't get a chance to use it, as Gascoigne delivers a kick onto his chest, sending him crashing into the office desk. Ascending his axe for a fatal strike on his head, the father is forced to pause, as Rose barks out an order - "Stop ! Stop ! You will destroy the mask !"

"Such an enjoyable fight your men have put up." Says Rose, mordantly."Although it's a shame that they die for someone as pathetic as you - a rube who somehow manages to shine with the help of a magical mask. If I had got this mask, I would have already be ruling my world with my followers. Only a useless, powerless and senseless rube like you will use it for petty things like organized crime.Obviously, you are not suitable for it. So why don't you take it off, give it to me, and let us see your handsome face before my friend Gascoigne does his job ?"Rose orders proudly.

"Hey bitch, this mask is a gift from my father, what makes you think that I will just simply give it to you after you people killed all of my ‘friends' here ? So the way I see it, the only method with which you can get this mask is that you control me to do so like how you controled your big friend to murder my men. But I highly doubt if you can do it, since the mask and I are two souls fused into one, we are inseparable." Says Roman defiantly, as he spits onto Rose the Hat's face.

"YOU WORTHLESS RUBE ! " Angered and disgusted by Sionis's behavior, Rose finally peels off her calm facade. Taking a big sip of steam from her botte, the telepathic serial killer puts all of her mind power into Roman's brain. "I will make you suffer ! " She shouts furiously, as she digs through the memory of Roman Sionis, picking out the worst bits for the psychopath to relive. Almost instantly, Roman's brain is overwhelmed with images and figures from his past - a few of them are full of maniacal laughter, some are filled with sirens, but most teem with ultra-violent and betrayal. In many of them, Roman finds himself back in old confrontations with the bat or Catwoman, during which he is punched, stomped, kicked, and thrown down from rooftops. A lot of them also brings him back to one of the nights in the Asylum, where Joker, Scarecrow and many others torment him with mockery about his failure. At the end of this long string of agonizing memories, Roman finds himself lying helplessly on the floor, with Richard Sionis standing right next to him, leather belt in hands. "Son, you are of great disappointment. " His father shouts, as he beats him like a dog, and the only thing Roman can do is begging for forgiveness endlessly. Rpman has no choice but to groan in purified pain.

"Useless rube fathers raise useless rube sons. " Rose laughs, as she watches it from nearby. "You know, although you rubes don't emit steam when screaming, it's still kind of fun to watch you people suff- " Before Rose can finish her comment, an odd feeling suddenly creeps up her back, and before she can source it out, the axe has already reached her neck. In sheer second her head is removed and tossed out of the window. Blood spurts out of neck like a fountain, as her body collapses down and the steam bottle drops onto the floor, breaking into pieces swiftly. A few steps away, the blood-stained top hat lands onto the floor silently. With its owner gone, it is now nothing more than a fancy joke, and Gascoigne deals with it by stomping it flat.

"Guess my deduction is right as always, you f**king bitch. Your mind isn't enough for more than one puppet. Hell, when you are downstairs, you even struggle to completely control one. With the bitch dead, I think it's time for us to sort out our business. " Black Mask says in relief, as he regains his composure and turns to Father Gascoigne, who, as expected, is readying his axe for the mask.

Chapter IV : The Hunt for Gascoigne []

Trying to concentrate on the Father so that he can gain control over his mind like Rose, Black Mask isn't fast enough to match the sheer speed of the priest, whose punch sends him flying out of the window.

Landing on the ground, the hardwood mask is able to protect his brain from any injuries, however, the impact leaves several cracks on it, rendering it no longer capable of mind manipulation. Refusing to give up, the mobster grabs up his remaining firearm and is just in time to hit Gascoigne with a string of bullets, forcing the beast to back off. In order to make sure the Father is dead, Black Mask tosses his last grenade towards his enemy.

As the smoke from the explosion elapses, the former king of Gotham is shocked to witness the Father, despite bleeding terribly, continues standing still.

Dropping his axe, Gascoigne roars in fury, as his body initiates mutation into the final form. It only takes seconds for him to completely morphs into a literal beast, but Black Mask is nowhere to be seen.

Picking up the scent of his enemy, the werewolf immediately gets a lead and heads toward the direction to which his enemy has fled.

However, little does the Father realize that a man who specializes in dealing with creatures like him has been notified about his arrival through listening to the faint but ominous noise from the ground, and this man is bringing the correct set of equipment and skills to accomplish his hunt.

Just as Kraven the Hunter, thrilled by the presence of such a beast, packs up his tools for the hunt, Melone the pervert is also on the move. Using the blood he collected from the carnage left by others, he has already succeeded in creating a second Babyface. This time, the job of tracking is a lot easier, for both Black Mask and Father Gascoigne have left a more than visible trail of blood.

Back to Blask Mask, who has, miraculously, found himself around a supply box in the midst of a hasty escape. Quickly digging through its contents, the psycho picks up a flamethrower. Holding it againt the incoming Gascoigne, Black Mask pulls the switch. As the readers might have expected, Gascoigne, though engulfed by flames, simply shrugs off the pain, for he feels only the urge to kill and nothing else.

Fueled by blind rage, Gascoigne ferociously launches his retaliation, knocking the weapon off Black Mask's hands and ripping off one of his arm in the process. What both warrios don't realize is that the Hunter has also made his way here, and he has been watching carefully but silently, looking out for any chance to attack.

Yelling in pain, Black Mask swiftly retreats backwards to avoid further damage and pull off his final trick - snatching the pistol from his pocket with his remaining arm, the mobster, in a seemingly vain attempt to delay his doom, aims for the eye of the beast. Before he can pull the trigger, however, the beast itself collapses down in flames.

Pulling out the dart from his back, Gascoigne turns back to see Kraven the Hunter standing in the distance with his iconic spear in hands.

"Interesting. I have fought and killed many beasts throughout my career as a hunter, however, you aren't like anything I have seen. That dart is more than capable of taking down a symbiote, and from the look I can tell it indeed pains you a lot. Nevertheless, you are still standing after being stabbed by it on the spine. " Says Kraven, to whom Gascoigne responds with a disgruntled roar.

Identifying Kraven as a new threat, Gascoigne temporarily ignores Black Mask and goes for the hunter. Launching himself towards the man, the beast hopes to rips him apart limb by limb. Kraven, however, thanks to the skills which he takes great pride in, is fast enough to block the Father with his spear, thrusting it right into his chest. The poison from the tip almost instantly reaches Gascoigne's heart. Letting out a short but intensely painful scream, the insane priest finally finds peace in his death.

"Guess this is what tells us apart, beast. Humans, especially hunters like me, can excel in both physicality and intellect. However, for beasts like you, no matter how human you might look and how many humans you have slaughtered, still fail to reach the same level as us when it comes to brain complexity. " Kraven comments, as he draws out a cleaver from his belt, chopping off the head of Gascoigne as an addition to his trophy collection.

Chapter V : A Man of God[]

Having just witnessed the doom of the priest, Black Mask immediately reaches for a firearm nearby. However just as he is about to initiate his assault he senses something odd, and it doesn't take long for his feeling of odd to transform into sheer desperation, as he shudders to come to the realization that, due to unknown reasons, a small chunk of flesh on his neck has gone missing, effectively cutting off his throat and preventing him from breathing.

Bloods gush out of the wound, as Black Mask's consciousness fades out. In the last few seconds of his life, Black Mask sees the firearm which he originally planned to grab up steadily break into little cubes and reforming into some sort of humanoid entity. As a native Gothamite who has seen things such as human crocodile and literal mud man , such an incident barely confuses him. And Black Mask doesn't really care much about it until later in the New Iceberg Lounge of the federal, where he is informed by Scarecrow that the aforementioned entity caused his death. And from then on, the greedy man seeks apprentice at Atrocitus to unleash his rage and regret.

Identifying the Homunculus as the creature he has taken down at the supply box, Kraven immediately pulls the trigger. However, this time, the Babyface dodges the dart thanks to better education from his master. Quickly reforming into a piece of hardwood, the stand plummets into the remains of Black Mask's mask, effectively blending into them.

With great precaution Kraven approaches the mask, picking it up for further inspection, and it is at this very moment, the stand itself manifests, turning Craven's hands into small cubes. Thrilled by the small success the stand proceeds to materialize one of its arms, launching it towards Kraven's head.

As a man who has traded blows with Spider-Man, the Hunter remains unfazed by the assault and swiftly dodges the incoming punch, retaliating by cutting off the arm with his machete.

Enraged by the pain the stand once again makes a rash decision - it fully manifests itself infront of Kraven in an attempt to rip him apart with all it has got, only to be met with a quick stab to its chest, and it doesn't take long for the stand to be terminated by the effect of poison for a second time.

On the other side of the arena, Melone is forced into searching. The self-styled hunter, whom he has woefully underestimated, has already taken down two of his creations. Now fully aware of Kraven's speed, skills and tenacity, Melone quickly locates a female nearby as a potential host. Pinning the woman down with the computer stand, Melone hasn't even began the more disturbing part of the process when the woman's friends, a group of bikers in their mid-thirties , return. Naturally, they aren't very happy with seeing a man in such a costume trying to pull off something funny towards their boss's girlfriend, and Melone himself is quickly killed by a barrage of bullets.

So, despite the fact that he hasn't even met his final opponent in person, Kraven, the least evil person in the contest, becomes the champion of evil.

Outro : New Home, New Hope, New Frontier[]

Staring down at the slums from his newly-acquired villa on the hill, Kraven is happy but understandably bored. The victory indeed palacates the rage and sorrow caused by his envy, however, it has also killed the thrill of the hunt. Afterall, in such a wealthy neighbourhood, he has nothing to hunt. Therefore, recently he has been focusing on the sewers, where, according to information from his friends, abnormalities and monsters can be found in abundance. Honing his blades, the hunter is preparing for an expedition to that area of the federal, hoping to recapture the thrill.

Expert's Opinion[]

7th - Kai Leng : Despite being a somewhat passable fighter, Kai Leng's personality once again places him at the bottom and pushes him further down the sewers.
6th - Michael Myers : Michael is a tank who takes a lot of damage but does little harm to others. He does excel in stealth, but his urge to kill and low intelligence hinder him, preventing him from venturing any further.
5th - Rose : Despite being one of the smarter warriors, Rose's over-reliance on her followers in the past, arrogance and overall lack of combat experience make it impossible for her to reach the middle tier.
4th - Gascoigne : Gascoigne is the least intelligent but the strongest warrior. His decent weapons and physicality allow him to reach the middle tier, but his lack of restrain in the final stage makes him particularly susceptible to tricks and easy to avoid while drawing a lot of attention and damage to himself.
3rd - Black Mask : Black Mask is capable and well-armed, but his arrogance and lack of means to counter Babyface forestall him from reaching top 2.
2nd - Melone : Melone's stand Babyface is the sole reason why he reaches top 2. With the help of it, Melone can chill somewhere far from the heat and methodically take down opponents when they are at their weakest. However, at this point, his stand has already become weak due to the damage it has taken, forcing him to recreate one, which leaves Melone unprotected and weak.
1st - Kraven : Kraven is extremely suitable for this kind of battle royale due to his expertise in stealth and hunting gadgets, which allow him to outmaneuver others in this scenario and take down those with higher amount of health.
