Death Battle Arena: Zitz

DEATH BATTLE ARENA

Name: Zitz
Age: at least 15
Race: Battletoad
Title: Leader of the Battletoads

Bio: Morgan Ziegler and his two friends conceptualized and created "Battletoads", a virtual-reality video game/competitive game show. This, for some convoluted reason, opened a gateway to another dimension where he and his friends would become toad superheroes whenever the game was on and they would do battle against the evil Dark Queen. Under the alias of "Zitz", he gained the shapeshifting powers of his comrades, but used his technological genius to implant cybernetics and weapons into his arsenal.

Costume 1: Traditional Appearance
Costume 2: Yellow skin ala the NES version
Costume 3: Rash color scheme
Costume 4: Pimple color scheme
Costume 5: Purple skin

Voice Actor: Bumper Robinson

Playstyle: Toad-Tech Pulverizer (Rushdown>Heavy)
Zitz’s combination of raw power and knack for combo potential means he can finish a fight quickly and easily if his opponent is caught unawares. One good opening is all that he needs to inflict serious damage with a barrage of severely-punishing hits. His lack of projectiles, however, means that he will struggle at a distance and defense-based fighters with good counter/reversal skills can quickly lead to his downfall.
Difficulty – 2/5 (Mildly-Easy)

Standing Light Punch: Turns his fist into solid metal and jabs forward.
Standing Medium Punch: Expands both his hands in size and thrusts them forward.

Air Light Kick: Performs a spin-kick, one foot turned into a giant boot.

Special Moves:
-Tenderizer!: Zitz turns his fist into a giant, spike-knuckled glove and unleashes a flurry of punches on the opponent.

-Boot to the Head: Zitz kicks, his foot turning into a giant boot, and can follow up with one of two things: simply thrust forward, or jump in the air and turn both his feet into giant boots to kangaroo-kick the opponent.

-Lighting Up: Zitz pulls a lamppost completely out of nowhere and smashes it into the opponent. He can also throw it when he's done with it.

-Sawin' Logs: Zitz knees forward, creating a chainsaw from the knee joint which allows for multiple hits.

-Dead Weight: Zitz transforms into a giant one-ton weight that heavily decreases any damage he takes. He can also transform mid-run or mid-jump to slam into his opponents.

-Cymbal of Destruction: Zitz claps his hands together, his hands transforming into a pair of cymbals. These can be simple melee attacks, but can also create small shockwaves around Zitz to momentarily stun nearby opponents.

-Tongue Action: Zitz opens his mouth and lashes out with a long, whiplike tongue. If it touches the opponent, he will be ziplined toward them. If it hits a projectile, he will simply eat it, effectively neutralizing it.

Throws
FORWARD: Zitz hauls the opponent over his head and the player has the option to walk around with him for a brief period (if they go too long, the opponent can break free). If he throws them, he will hurl them at the ground, bouncing them off of it.

BACKWARD: Zitz ragdolls the opponent, slamming them on the ground a few times before throwing them behind him.

Super Moves:
-Speeder Spinout: Zitz puts two fingers in his mouth and whistles, shrilly. A speeder rushes past him and he grabs onto the handlebars with a "Woo-hoo-hoo!" as the hovercraft races at the opponent, running them over and hitting them repeatedly before Zitz leaps off. The speeder will then explode, further damaging the opponent.

-Headhunter Headache: Zitz grabs his opponent by the shoulders, headbutts them with ram-horns on his head which leaves them disoriented, then lets them go. He raises both fists into the air, smashes them into the ground until they're up to their shoulders, then winds up a kick and kicks them in the face, sending them rocketing out of the earth.


FATALITIES:
-Drilla Killa: Zitz picks up the opponent and tosses them into the air before turning his hand into a giant drill. He points it upward in time for the opponent to fall on top of it, resulting in their impalement. As they futilely try to pull themselves off, Zitz smirks and the drill starts to spin, making the hole in their torso bigger. After picking up speed, the opponent flies off with a huge cavity in them.

-Dozer Drive: Zitz opens his mouth and lashes out with a long, pink tongue. It wraps around the opponent's neck and starts drawing them towards Zitz, who forms his hands into a pair of spike-laden walls. The opponent struggles to escape, but the tongue is too strong. Their footing gives way and they fly towards the metal spikes, winding up impaled in many places.

FRIENDSHIP: Frogsong
Zitz reaches behind him, as though readying to pull out some secret, sinister weapon, then whips both hands into view to reveal he’s holding a top-hat and a cane. He then starts a fancy dance with both hat and cane, all while singing “Hello My Baby” in the style of Michigan J. Frog, the song ending on “tell me I’m your all”.


Intro: A portal opens up in the air and Zitz drops down from it, hanging by a cable. He swings a bit, then jumps off to land on his feet.

Outro: Zitz pumps his fists a few times, then grins and points at the camera like he's saying "you're next".

Stage: Battletoads Arena

Theme Song: "Enter the Battletoad" by AtlasPlug and Celldweller

_

Prologue: As Zitz and his fellow Battletoads smashed and bashed their way through the Battletoad Arena, an odd portal in this alternate dimension opened just before their final confrontation. After a quick negotiation, Zitz decided to investigate just what the portal had to offer. When he stepped through it, he found himself in the Death Battle Arena and was made a promise that he could change things for the Battletoad Game. Liking where it was going, Zitz was ready to compete in the biggest game yet...


Rival Cutscene:
(Zitz jumps down a manhole, lands in the sewer pipe, then wipes sweat off his brow)

Zitz: HOO! I'm bushed. This puts the Battletoad Arena to shame. Nothing I can't handle, though...

(Zitz perks up as he hears an echoing and distant voice.)

Zitz: Wait a sec...I KNOW that voice! It's that no-good turtle who bifurcated me a while back!

(Zitz pulls back a hand and turns it into a gigantic, spike-laden fist to smash it into the wall to his left. It cracks, but doesn't break.)

Zitz: Darn. Thought it was thinner than that...

(Zitz winds up another punch and socks the wall again, cracking it even more. One final punch sends the wall crumbling down. Through the dust, Zitz just narrowly makes out a familiar shape and tries to pound it into the ground with his fist, but he misses.)

???: Oh no, that'd better not be who I think it is.

(The dust settles, revealing none other than the leader of the Ninja Turtles, Leonardo.)

Zitz: Well, well, I thought I heard familiar voices down here!

Leo: You again. (draws swords) Didn't you learn your lesson last time?

Zitz: I let my guard down once, turtle-boy, but that ain't happenin' again! (cracks knuckles) This time, I'm beatin' you to a pulp!

Leo: I guess there's no way around it. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is, froggy?

(Zitz is clearly offended as Leo draws his ninjaken with an audible "shing" sound, but he puts up his fists as he corrects him.)

Zitz: That's TOAD, numbskull!

(Zitz lunges and throws a punch at Leo, who nimbly evades it, then leaps backward over a sweeping knee...lined with a roaring chainsaw. Leo, in return, takes a swing with his ninjaken only to be met with goat-horns emerging from Zitz's head and a shower of sparks. As he puts distance between them again, the screen fades to black.)


Ending: After beating the living crap out of everyone he came across in the Death Battle Arena, Zitz was given just what he wanted. The interdimensional gateway to the Realm of the Dark Queen was closed, after taking its verminous inhabitants with it. To the relief of three nerds, the Battletoad Arena was returned to its original state--a fun virtual reality video game that anyone could play for the right price.
