Requested by Hemilock
Resident Evil vs Evil Dead, Guns vs Guns, Knife vs Chainsaw, when two investigators/killers of the undead faces off in a zombie apocalypse, only one will complete their mission alive. Will Leon tackles Ash down or will Ash cut up Leon or will both fighters become zombie food?

<Cue: Invader Theme>

Toomi:  Leon Kennedy, the top cop and government agent that fights zombies,

Megumi: And Ash Williams, the chainsaw armed man that fight against the evil dead.

Toomi: Surviving the undead apocalypse takes grit, perseverance, and an armies worth of firepower

Megumi: And these two men have been through hell and done that! She's Sachi, Toomi and I'm Megumi.

Sachi: And it's our job to analyse their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle

Leon Infiltrates What if Battles

<Cue: Karakuri Pierrot by 40mP>

Toomi: As a child, Leon Scott Kennedy's father instilled in him a strong sense of justice. Following in his footsteps, Leon joined the police force, determined to uncover the darkest riddles and uphold the law.

Megumi: So, for his first-ever assignment, he took the biggest challenge he could find. Instead of picking an easy job, like dishing out dastardly parking tickets, he was off to Raccoon City to investigate a bunch of mysterious murders.

Sachi: His instincts were good, perhaps too good. Officer Kennedy wound up choosing the most challenging and dangerous assignment he possibly could have.

Megumi: Except that Raccoon City has a freaking zombie outbreak happening.

Toomi: After fending off the zombie threat, and even taking a bullet, Leon was recruited by the American government as a special agent, bodyguard, and their go-to specialist for apocalyptic events.

Megumi: His training at the police academy turned him into a pretty tough guy, but as a special agent, he became unstoppable.

Sachi: All thanks to his extensive firearms training, extreme driving tests, and the study of tactical response scenarios.

Megumi: Guess what martial art they teach American Secret Service members? A traitorous Russian one called Systema, and Leon is an expert at it.

Toomi: Systema is a freeform martial art focusing on disabling targets via pressure points in joints. While not specifically lethal on its own, Systema also involves quite a lot of training with knives and firearms.

Sachi: Right, these Bio Organic Weapons, or B.O.W.s, were far tougher than your ordinary run-of-the-mill zombie. Thankfully, Leon has the weaponry to take them on.

Megumi: He's efficient with just about any kind of gun, which includes the Silver Ghost, a unique pistol specifically designed for him. He's also got a modified .50 caliber Desert Eagle Magnum, a gift from his father.

Toomi: While he has no problem dual-wielding handguns, Leon is extremely proficient in dealing damage with heavier weapons, such as the M203 Grenade Launcher or his ludicrous Rocket Launcher Special.

Flamethrower

Rocket Launcher Special

Sachi: Leon has plenty of experience with hand grenades, rifles, flamethrowers, etc., but one weapon stands above them all: his knife.

Megumi: Oh yeah, Leon's combat knife is way more than some plain old bread cutter! He's practically magic when it comes to his skill with a knife, and if he gets hit, he'll be fine... probably. I mean, he's wearing lightweight level three tactical body armor, which can stop bullets from a magnum and even some rifles. If he does take a hit, he's carrying some healing herbs, which he can also take a hit from, if you know what I'm saying!

Toomi: He's not snorting drugs, Megumi! Healing herbs have a history of being applied as an aerosol spray or ground up within paper.

Megumi: Well, once Leon became the government's numero uno answer to all of their zombie problems, he was stopping outbreaks all over the world; he had to pull off some awesome feats to do it. He even had to make some horrible sacrifices along the way, like that poor, poor Ducati.

Toomi: Leon is strong enough to fight Chris Redfield to a standstill, the same Chris Redfield that can punch boulders. And while Leon doesn't seem to have Chris's brute strength, he did push over this giant rock with a little help.

Sachi: Leon is pretty quick, too. He's dodged bullets, a moving laser grid, and even outraced this Tyrant, which, according to the Inside of Biohazard Guide, could run up to 43 miles per hour.

Megumi: Leon is strong enough to crush a skull, or even force open the jaws of a giant infected shark. This shark appears to be similar in size to a Great White, which has a bite strength of nearly two tons of force.

Feats

Pushed a 6.5 ton boulder

Fought off outbreak with an untreated gunshot wound

Survived a massive car crash

Killed 5 zombies in 2 seconds

Threw a knife faster than the eye can see

Withstood corrosive acid spit

Defeated Krauser, Trenchy, Saddler, Arias

Toomi: Leon is tough, having survived blows from various large and burly B.O.W.s. He even matched the strength of Umbrella Agent Jack Krauser. Krauser was strong enough to perform a 30-foot vertical jump. Generally, men can pull off a two-foot vertical jump at most, making Krauser potentially 15 times stronger than the average man.

Megumi: At this point, let's just say that Leon is basically superhuman. It's like he has zero weaknesses!

Toomi: Au contraire. Leon has his fair share of baggage. He's pretty gullible, oftentimes tricked by those wilier than himself.

Weakness

Very Gullible

Has very bad mental health

Alchoholic

Sachi: But after more than 15 years of nightmarish catastrophes, Leon's mental state has become more fragile, and more reliant on alcohol.

Megumi: He always needs a little chaos in his life, and when it comes down to it, that's what makes him such a friggin' badass.

Leon: Rain or shine, you're going down!

Ash fights Evil Dead in What if Battles

<Cue: Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra>

Toomi: Ashley J. Williams and His girlfriend Linda where on there way to Jacksonville, Florida. Along with some friends they Decided to take a break from the road and stop at a near by Cabin in the Woods

Megumi: And Spoiler alert! They Chose to play a Recorder Box and it said some sort of spell which woke something up......something EVIL

Sachi: Ash was alone put up against unbelievable odds, he had to Fight and Kill his possessed friends and Family to survive all because of a mysterious book The Necronomicon X-Mortis the book of the dead. Bound in human flesh and inked in Human blood it is the Gateway to all that is evil and has control over all undead.

Toomi: After ash tried to Destroy it by throwing into a fire place he thought it was all over

Megumi: WRONG. It was just getting started and Possessed his hand. After getting the shit kicked out of him by his own hand, he had to chop if off.....with a chainsaw laughing his ass off and the replacing his hand with the same chainsaw

Sachi: After this and meeting this woman, he got sucked into a portal which sent him into the dark ages, Had an evil clone, Rises an army a villagers to fight an Army Of Darkness, And defeated Bad Ash a complete copy of himself

Toomi: Fortunately for Ash, he's gots the skills to pay the bills, and despite being in his 50s, he's one tough force of nature. Thanks to years of fighting and killing Deadites, Ash's body has been pushes beyond its limits, as a result he's in peak physical condition, he has incredible levels of strength, speed, agility and durability.

Megumi: He's strong enough to throw people twice his size, fast enough to dodge lasers, and more importantly, the dude is one tough S-O-B, being able to survive electrocutions, getting choked, and as we mentioned before, cutting off his own damn hand of

Sachi: And despite being old, he's an expert in Hand-To-Hand Combat, plus the man is also an expert marksman, he can use any kind of gun he gets his hands on, able to shoot down anything that moves and even shoot Deadites from behind

Toomi: Even more impressive is that he's an skilled mechanic, being able to create anything he can get his hands on, after all, he has an engineering degree from MSU(Michigan State University). Prime examples of his engineering skills include converting his Oldsmobile into the steam-powered "Deathcoaster" while limited to the technology of 1300 AD, a spring-loaded "Boomstick Launcher" hidden in the floor of his Airstream Trailer, outfitted the Oldsmobile with Nitrous Oxide, and created gunpowder by referencing its elemental makeup in a chemistry book. But still, even with all those skills at this disposal, sometimes it's not enough to take out the Deadites

Megumi: The Book of the Dead comes with tons of spells that help Ash in tight situations, everything from raining fire from the sky, summoning earthquakes, lightning, stunning foes, and can even possess and summon Deadites under his control.

Sachi: But the bad thing all the spells are in a different language and he has to say them correctly otherwise they will blow up in his face

Toomi: However, it would seem that the evil would assist him more than he thought, over years of killing Deadites, their evil essence would imbued itself into Ash, and should he obtained a great amount, this will cause to transform into Evil Ash.

Sachi: Ash has done some ridiculous, if not impressive feats over the years, some that proves that he is mankind's last line of defense against the Deadites. All in all, he's gots guts for someone in his 50's. He strong enough to , fast enough to , catches Evil Ash's sword in mid strike

Megumi: And more importantly, the dude is one tough Son of a Bitch, he's withstood getting throw around like a ragdoll, electrotherapy, getting kicked from the top of a castle wall in to the ground, if that's not enough, he's even survived getting pushed by the Kandarian Demon into a sextton of tree to the sky and then slamming into the ground

Feats

Has several of Deadite kills under his belt

Brokered peace between Arthur and Henry to help them fight off the army of darkness

Teamed up with the likes of Xena Warrior Princess, Cassie Hack, Red Sonja, and Elvis(Of the series Bubba Ho-Tep)

Managed to survive and escape the Marvel Zombies universe...only to wind up in the Marvel Werewolf universe

Saved Las Vegas from the Mayan God Chaac during the 2012 Mayan Prophecy

Knocked out Spider-Man with a single punch

Endured falling from the sky on multiple occasions, multiple times

Shot a knight's sword in half within seconds before he fight

Survived getting his leg skinned

Survived getting possessed, and broke free from becoming a Deadites

Survived getting sucked into a fake Book of the Dead

Shot a zombified Sentry in the chest

Once defeated Dracula himself with the help of Dracula's daughter and Frankenstein's monster

Defeated Ruby Knowby, Bael, Kandar the Destroyer, The Reanimator, Freddy Kruger and Jason Voorhees(Yes, it actually happened, twice), zombified Howard the Duck, Eligos, Dracula, and Evil Ash(His dark side brought to life)

Toomi: Even more impressive, Ash is one of the very rare few to survived and break free from becoming a Deadite, a feat that would seem impossible for others.

Megumi: If that's not enough, Ash even faced horror villains icons including the Re-Animator, Dracula, and also horror legends Jason Voorhees and Freddy Kruger, and before you question it, yes, it actually happened, twice to be exact. Furthermore, he even survived being in a Marvel Universe where all the heroes and villains became flesh-eating zombies.

Toomi: Despite the massive weaponry and spells at his disposal, it all leads to Ash's greatest flaw. You see, Ash is, well, kind of an idiot. And it's not that I'm saying his stupid, it's more on the lines of, well, he's lazy and goofy.

Sachi: I mean, we're talking about a guy who wants nothing to do with the forces of evil and just wants to living the rest of his life getting drunk, partying, and having sex with any women that have big breast.

Megumi: Plus, if anything, most of reasons why the Evil keeps coming back is sometimes his fault, like the time in the Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness storyline where he summons an army of Deadites to combat the Zombies, which only to made things worse.

Weakness

Lazy

Goofy

Made a deal with Ruby to give her full control for the book, which nearly endangered the world

Reckless

Immature

Sometimes he is the cause for the Evil comes back

Summoed an army of Deadites to fight the Marvel Zombies which worsen the situation

Toomi: Despite it all in the end, Ash has saved the day countless times and has protected the world from Evil.

Sachi: So despite his immaturity and recklessness, Ash Williams is the indeed the chosen savior of Humanity and will go from Hell and back to defeat Evil itself

Megumi: Whether we like it or not, Ash J. Williams is the one thing standing between us and the End of the World as we know it.

Ash: Yo She bitch, let's go.

Toomi: Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.

Sachi: Don't forget to vote, comment what you think of the fight.

Megumi: Yeah, but right now, it's time for a Death Battle!

Fight

Abandoned Streets

In the bleak abandoned street, the sun began setting from the horizon as Ash walks the streets in search for something.

Just then, Ash notices a tall young man cladded in a police uniform walking through the street and he calls out to him.

Ash: Hey young man!

Leon halts in his tracks before turning around, seeing a tall middle age man facing him.

But what caught his eye is his right hand being replaced with a chainsaw attached to it.

Leon listens as the man with the chainsaw says to him.

Ash: Yeah you. Listen, the name's Ash Williams and this place ain't safe fer ye kid so why don't you head on home and let the professionals handle it?

Instead of complying however, Leon draws out his hand gun and he says.

Leon: Sorry old man, but it's police business here.

Ash: Heh. Don't say I didn't warn ya kid.

Announcer: Fight!

<Cue: Move Along by The All-American Rejects>

Ash revved his chainsaw, and sprints forward, dashing towards Leon.

VRRRRRRRR!!!

Leon pointed his Shotgun at ash and fired. Ash raised his chainsaw just in time, managing to block the bullets.

CLANG!!! CLANG!!! CLANG!!!

Ash grits his teeth as he swing his chainsaw outwards only for Leon to swerve his head back, narrowingly dodging a swing from Ash.

Leon draws his knife before swinging it at Ash, forcing him to dodge before raising up his chainsaw, blocking a blow from him.

CLANG!!!

Leon then drew his shotgun and he opens fire at Ash who instantly ducks his head to the side.

BANG!!!

Ash pulls out a grenade and he throws it at Leon who rolls underneath the attack before sprinting towards Ash, punching him three times.

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!

While Leon and Ash are locked in battle, the grenade struck a nearby generator, causing it to go off in a massive explosion.

KABOOM!!!

The explosion blew a big hole in a building and along with the loud sounds, began attracting hordes of zombies towards the fighters location.

At the same time, just as Leon swings his leg out, Ash blocks it with his chainsaw before throwing a hook, striking Leon in the jaw.

WHAM!!!

Leon staggers back before his eyes widens.

Leon: Huh?

Ash began to notice it as well as both fighters notices the zombies closing in onto them.

Putting their differences aside briefly due to circumstances, Ash and Leon drew their guns as the open fire at the zombies, shooting them down.

BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!

Ash then activates his chainsaw as he swings it around, cutting down any oncoming zombies.

SLASH!!! SLASH!!! SLASH!!!

Ash then stabs a zombie with his chainsaw before revving it up, cutting through the zombie's torso before throwing it at Leon.

Leon ducks, dodging a swipe from the zombie only for the other zombie to hit it instead.

Leon pulls out his hand gun and he opens fire at Ash, who jumps back only for the bullet to hit a zombie in the head.

Leon then puts his hands up, sprinting forward as he uses his body to slam through a group of zombies, pushing them right towards Ash.

Ash: GAAAAHHHH!!!

Ash cries out as he found himself overwhelmed by the zombies as he raises up his chainsaw, using his hand and legs to kick, punch and hold back any zombies.

Just as it looks like it will be the end of Ash, right at that moment, Ash's eyes began glowing red with rage he released a blood curling scream.

Ash: HUUARRGHHHHH!!!

Leon stood back, his eyes widens as he watches Ash using his newfound power to dessimate the zombies around him.

SCHING!!!

Ash stood up, now in his Rage Mode.

Leon pulls out his hand gun, firing round and round before switching to his shotgun, but the bullets simply bounces off Ash as he dashes forward, pushing past two oncoming zombies before throwing a punch right into Leon's face.

BAM!!!

The blow sends him flying into a car, shattering the glass and bending the metal of the car badly.

Ash then pulled the Necronium EX From his bag, and he began to recite words from the book, until an aura flashed around him for a second before fading away.

Ash had used the strength spell.

He rushed at leon once more whom the latter managed to recover just in time to dodge the thrust of ash's chainsaw.

Leon pulled his flame thrower from somewhere, as he lept back onto the street pulling off a backflip and sticking the landing.

Ash's Rage began to time out as Leon activates his flamethrower, unleashing a torrent of fire at him.

FWOOM!!!

Ash: ARGHHHHHHH!!!

The fire began burning Ash, burning him to the point his skin began burning into...ashes.

Though the attack has killed Ash, the fight is still far from over.

Standing up from the fire, Leon narrows his eyes as Ash, now a Deadite faces Leon as he growls.

Ash: Die you bastard.

Leon: Come and get me!

Ash rushed at Leon in a final mad dash to kill his opponent only for the police to draw out his RLS, launching a missile at him.

FWOOSH!!!

The missile struck onto Ash, causing his entire body to go off in a massive explosion.

KABOOM!!!

As parts of body began flying around, Leon watches as what remains of Ash's head falls into a metal pole, stabbing him through his head, killing him.

Sighing out, Leon says to himself.

Leon: Alright, gotta get out of here before more of those things come.

Leon then walks away as the fire began burning Ash's head, causing his body to disintegrate into ashes.

KO!

<Cue: Compound I Love You by Jincheng Zhang>

Megumi: The world just lost a good man today.

Toomi: While ash and leon were similar on paper, ash was just physically out classed in every last catagory.

Megumi: While both have dodged lasers, only one was slightly slower, with Ash being shown to be capable of dodging arrows while Leon has dodged bullets which were much faster

Sachi: Another thing is their physical strength. While Ash can strike with 10 tons of force and leon can move a 13.34 tons of boulder And physicly over power Chris Redfeild, the guy who struck with 12.6 tons of force while moving a boulder.

Toomi: Though Ash's spells are able to keep Leon on his toes, it would take time for him to recite the spells which is disadvantageous against an opponent who not only doesn't need something like that but also would have just kept attacking.

Sachi: And there is intelligence, though strategically intelligent, Ash has done some stupid things and made pretty decisions which has endangered him and his friends, sometimes even attacking without strategy while Leon though has been manipulated, has spent more time in the field than Ash has.

Toomi: By having better skills, strength, speed and strategy, we can conclude that though Ash and Leon are fairly equal due to their history fighting the undead, Leon takes back the win in this round

Megumi: Looks like Leon's attack has left Ash blown sky high

Sachi: The winner is Leon Kennedy

Leon: Rest in peace, assholes.

Toomi: Hey guys, thank you so much for checking out our battle in What if Battles 2.

Sachi: If you want more content like this, don't forget to add this in your library and comment if you have any idea for a fight.

Megumi: Until then, next time on What if Battles...
