Kain, Kratos, Dante, Link & Sephiroth's Warcraft dragon gauntlet

Sephiroth and Kain goes up against the dragons of Warcraft. Six rounds of combat with rest between each.

1st: Alexstrasza, Korialstrasz, Keristrasza
2nd: Malygos, Sapphiron, Sindragosa, Tyrygosa
3rd: Ysera
4th: Deathwing, Onyxia, Sintharia, Nefarian, Sartharion
5th: Nozdormu, Soridormi, Chronormu

6th: Eonar resurrect all the fallen dragons and the team take them all on.

Rules:
- Kain must be close to drain the soul of someone and may only teleport on the ground.
- Kratos is the version that fought Colossus.
- Dante is not allowed his sky-scrape splitting sword.
- Link as the Hero of Time, but he is allowed only five Ice arrows for the entire gauntlet.
- Sephiroth is by the decision of High Father not allowed Lifestream (Or Nega).

Rules for each specific encounter:
1st: No rules. Kick their asses.

2nd: Malygos will prevent Kain's protective spells from being used. Should Malygos go down, Kain get his protective spells back (Mist, Shield, Transform)

3rd: Ysera is not enraged and will start the fight unprovoked, but in ethereal form on top of a castle, half-sleeping. Nearing her will provoke, as will preparing any assault. The team for this battle get preparation. All attacks of physical structure will go straight through her.

4th: Killing Deathwing at any place other than last will summon Dargonax in the 6th battle. Deathwing is not allowed Endless Hunger. Deathwing in this battle has had preparation and: Link doesn't have any gear beyond the utmost most default, kudos to Deathwing. Dante lack quicksilver. Kain has no protective spells, nor can he touch Deathwing's soul. Kratos is unarmed. Sephiroth is cursed in a manner that make his sword unable to pierce Deathwing's plating.

5th: Nozdormu is not allowed to stop time, but he is allowed to prevent all opponents from using superhuman speed, keep all from using time magic and he is allowed to turn one of the five into dust.

6th: Should Deathwing not die last in his battle, Dargonax will come to aid during the 6th battle. During the 6th battle however, Kain is allowed his protective spells despite Malygos, everyone has their best gear (Not Triforce) and the team is in defense, supposed to protect themselves from the assaulting dragons. The battle take place at a castle. Nozdormu will not participate in the battle until all other dragons are dead.

Notes:
- Nozdormu may not undo his own death at any time
- Deathwing is not allowed Endless Hunger
- Alexstrasza is not allowed to use the emotions of the team
- Ysera is not enraged
- Malygos may not erase existence
- Dargonax can not drain Kain

It might just be me but I see this being one long way towards the stomp waiting at the fourth fase.

1. The team will make it, barely but I think they will make it.

2. Now here I see the team having very severe problems, Malygos even though he doesn't have his erase existance (nice spell but ultimately not all important) is going to turn them into bunnies or teleport into the atmosphere or something, we are dealing with the greatest magic user amongst the dragon (from my perspective) looking at what the guy can do and has done well... but lets assume the team makes it.

3. Ysera... I'm not entirely certain but I don't think anyone on the team got a outstanding ability to block their own mind from intrusion on a level as Ysera can produce, they will also have the problem with her state, and if they get past it will be pure luck.

4. They get absolutely rapestomped.

5. A massive slaughter, taking away Nozdormu's ability to stop time helps the team granted, but he can still erase beings from existance and all records and memories about them with a single grain of sand.

6. .... speaks for itself imo.

I was thinking Nozdormu in 5th to be something like he was in the end of DotD. Not so sure Malygos can polymorph most of these, either.

1. The team should be able to make it.
2. Here is where they begin to falter. Malygos is simply immensly powerful in magics. I don't see any reason why polymorph won't work on his opponents. Only Link has a defense, but Malygos isn't evil so... Still the team could make it.
3. Don't know enough to make a claim.
4. Dragons stomp.
5. Dragons stomp again.
6. ...

😛 There has been people that would claim character solo victory on that one. Which is the reason I made the thread, because some I think are confident the team would win.

Yeah, but they all rage quit earlier this week. 😛

(Well, others are just MIA.)

I just think it would be an interesting debate if people stood up for the team 🙂

At the end of DotD, Nozdormu had his full power restored, and even before the restoration, Krasus knew that a grain of sand could erase him from existance if Nozdormu wished it.

I have little doubt that he can at the very least polumorph 2 of them, then there is just the ocean of other spells he can utilize, Krasus knew that he when he meet Malygos. Krasus was iirc in a place where the location shaped itself after what Malygos somewhere, in a far distant back of his mind, wished it to be and at that point of time, he was low on power and more or less insane. He is much stronger in this encounter.

F*** me for not reading the OP.

Too bad. I put a lot of thought in it 😛

😆It would've been good info had it been it a proper thread.

Proper?

A thread where it belongs.

Dont worry, this is a decent thread.
Still, you know my stance, lol.

I was referring to my edited post, btw.

Alexstrasza is the life warden. Cant she just take their life?

I wondered about this one myself, but I don't believe Alexs has ever displayed such an ability. Either way, it probably wouldn't work on Kain.

She to my knowledge haven't nore have it been even hintered it is a ability she can use.

In theory it should be entirely possible, but I'll have to check my handbook when I get the chance.

Something I wonder. Why does anything bad happen when Nozdormu is alive? Hes like powerful enough to stop all problems

Nozdormu doesn't intervene unless time is being tempered with directly.

Why not? Cant he like swat Deathwing, Lich King and all who threaten to destroy the world?
