King Shark vs Sharktopus is GalactaK's eighty-eighth DBX, featuring King Shark from DC Comics and Sharktopus from the eponymous franchise.
Description[]
S5E8! DC Comics vs Sharktopus! Sharks are already scary, right? Nobody wants to swim with the things, lest they want to die, but now dry land isn't safe territory either, thanks to these two! But is the human shark or the octopus shark going to prove themselves the apex predator?
Ringmaster's Analysis and Intro[]
*Ringmaster walks onto his podium and grabs a microphone from the ceiling*
Ringmaster: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to my arena, where there's NO RULES, NO RESEARCH, ONLY BLOODSHED! I am Ringmaster, your announcer and host extraordinaire for this extravaganza! Aaaand let me welcome you to the exhibition!
In today's matchup *gulp*, we-we've got the t- t- two sharks that... play on my w-worst fear *shudder* sharks... getting on... l-land! I-in o-one--
Boomstick: Eh, give it here! If it's givin' ya this much bother, hand me the damn script and take a holiday! So, uh, where was he? Let's see... oh yeah. In one corner, we have the villain to Superboy and the Flash, the former Suicide Squad member of the sea, Nanaue, aka KING SHARK! And in the other corner, we have the world's creepiest giant monster, ScyFy's big ol' cash cow, it's a shark, it's an octopus, it's SHARKTOPUS!
Now let's see what these aquatic assholes can do! King Shark ain't the smartest around, but brain wasn't built to withstand brawn, and this guy has the claws, teeth and strength to prove it. He's also got the amphibious nature of a shark, and is near bulletproof! He's also a keen hacker is the Harley Quinn series. But let's not forget about Sharktopus! This guy is really speedy, has got strong jaws, amazing intelligence, and its tentacles can tear through people, boats, and other creepy monsters!
So, is the human shark or the octopus shark prove themselves to be the apex predator? I don't know, but I kinda want to find out! So, without further ado, let the exhibition BEGIN! (Oh god, that sounds cringy...)
FIGHT![]
The waters around Hawaii seemed tranquil. All things considered, it was the perfect place to take a nice break from everything going on in life to just relax, and feel calm. King Shark knew this, and wanted to play to its adavntages. Since nobody would be suspecting anything bad to be happening, it seemed like the easiest place to commit a crime spree. Sure enough, when he arrived, everyone was a bit too busy to take any notice of the 7 foot tall shark man running directly at them- wait, WHAT? As soon as King Shark was spotted, several holidaymakers started screaming, and running away. One was caught, and thrown into a palm tree. King Shark laughed calmly, and ran after the fleeing holidaymakers.
Suddenly, however, they started running back towards him.
King Shark: Huh?
(Cue Left 4 Dead 2- Tank)
Nanaue looked behind the once-again-fleeing holidaymakers to see a half-shark, half-octopus creature tear a young swimmer in two and eat her top half, which was still screaming. It then started making its way towards several others, and butchered them all. The only one left was a small girl. As much as it went against everything he was intedning to do today, King Shark decided to intervene, running forwards and ramming into the Sharktopus with every last ounce of force he had. Sharktopus reeled backwards and roared at King Shark, who motioned to the girl to leave like the rest.
King Shark: You really know how to ruin a guy's day. Fancy payin'?
The two ran directly at each other, with Sharktopus throwing out two tentacles, whilst King Shark brought a fist round in a right hook. Both connected.
HERE WE GOOO!
(Cue Team Fortress 2- The Art of War from 0:27)
Sharktopus staggered backwards, its tentacles latched around King Shark's mid rim. King Shark was dragged towards the creature's mouth, where he kicked upwards before he could be eaten, knocking his would-be predator off him. The two sharks stared each other down for just a few seconds, before King Shark leapt upwards and attempted to rip out Sharktopus' eye, only to get batted away by a tentacle. Sharktopus roared out its rage and made its way towards Nanaue, who started to sprint away, grabbing a palm tree, lifting it up, and using it as a club to keep his adversary at a distance. He eventually tried to force the creature to swallow it, although this ended in failure, with Sharktopus instead latching all his tentacles onto the tree. King Shark, having to think quickly, decided to slam the tree onto the floor, crushing the giant sea creature under the tree.
King Shark: Don't think that was the end.
He ran over to fight Sharktopus further, seeing as the behemoth was upright. Sharktopus saw him coming and made his way towards a building. King Shark seemed to instinctively know what Sharktopus was going to do, and attempted to tackle the beast, only to get wrapped in tentacles and have all the air squeezed out of him. As he lay on the floor wheezing, Sharktopus brought his jaws down, intending for this to be the last part of the fight. However, it was clear King Shark had other ideas.
(Cue Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games- Bowser's Road from 0:16)
King Shark rolled out of the way of the bite, punching Sharktopus in the eye, before grabbing hold of a tentacle and biting as hard as he could. Sharktopus roared once again, writhing around, and attempting to grab Nanaue, who attempted to tear the tentacle off, before one of Sharktopus' tentacles found his leg and dragged him off Sharktopus and through a wall, and eventually back onto the beach, with Sharktopus leaping through the air to meet him. King Shark got up and jumped out of the way of the first bite, only to get caught off guard by the second, and nearly losing his entire arm. He pulled away just in time, before punching Sharktopus on the nose, grabbing a couple of tentacles, and using them as a handle to throw Sharktopus into the sea with. He was quick to chase after the giant shark creature, leaping into the sea and swimming directly at him, arm ready to strike.
King Shark: You ready to die, freak?
Sharktopus certainly seemed ready, as he swam upwards, latching his claws around one of King Shark's legs and dragging him down into the depths of the ocean. Soon sunlight was hardly visible, yet they were still nowhere near the bottom. It didn't seem to bother either of them, as Sharktopus swam forward intending to bite, only to get punched back by King Shark. Sharktopus, who still hadn't let go of King Shark's led, decided to give King Shark a quick taste of things to come, yanking hard, and tearing off King Shark's leg. Nanaue roared out in agony as salt filled the wound. Bloodlusted, Sharktopus swam directly at King Shark, who dodged the first lunge, and did his best to punch as hard as possible, but it seemed to him that all was nought. Sharktopus recognised this too, and attempted to get King Shark with his tentacles, with King Shark quickly and adeptly swimming out of the way as much as possible, using his tail to slash across Sharktopus' eye, leaving both of them incapacitated. Sharktopus, however, seemed to recover quickly, and decided that maybe now would be a good enough time to go on the attack again.
(Cue Left 4 Dead 2- Midnight Tank)
Sharktopus opened his jaws to bite down on Nanaue and end the fight once and for all, but King Shark held his jaws open with his arms. With all his might, he pushed against Sharktopus' biting force, tearing at the muscles in Sharktopus' jaw. Eventually, with a giant crack, the top part of Sharktopus' head came clean off. Sharktopus was no more. King Shark, however, didn't have much time to celebrate his new-found victory, as he swam up to the surface to get medical treatment. His crime spree would have to wait.
Conclusion and Next Time[]
KING SHARK: 62%
SHARKTOPUS: 38%
Boomstick: Man oh man, that was amazing! Kinda repetetive, but hey, that ending! Either way, join us next time, when two of anime's godlike girls go head-to-head in a weeb's wet dream... or nightmare... I dunno.
