Apex Arena – Battle D6: Ethan Hunt vs. Snake Plissken

[Culwych1]

Introduction

When the aliens arrived, they brought a storm of terror and fury unlike anything humanity had ever known. They descended from the stars like a dark force of nature, with powers that twisted our reality into nightmares. Lightspeed drones that could morph and shape at will tore through the skies, beings of pure thought bent men’s minds into madness, and godlike creatures who strode among us, bending the very laws of existence as if they were nothing.

We fought back, clinging to survival by any means, yet it was as if our struggles only amused them. Then, one day, they offered something else: entertainment. They gathered 32 of humanity’s most iconic, most ruthless, and most fearless warriors, and pitted them against each other in a tournament of blood and spectacle. A brutal, twisted arena filled with shifting worlds and deadly obstacles, all for their alien amusement. Our survival, they promised, hung on the prowess of these chosen champions.

And as the blood flowed, they laughed—and we were forced to laugh with them, sharing the twisted joy of our alien masters as heroes clashed and legends died. Was this our chance at redemption, or just another twist in their sadistic game? Nobody knew. Only the alien minds behind the Apex Arena understood this grim spectacle, and they beamed it directly into the minds of every remaining human, a relentless vision of battle, fear, and death.

And so, the Apex Arena shifted once more, conjuring a fresh, warped location, bringing the victors of previous fights face-to-face for another brutal clash. A new battleground formed, bloody and unforgiving, as the arena’s cruel magic worked itself upon Earth’s warriors once again.

Apex Arena – Battle D6: Ethan Hunt vs. Snake Plissken

The Apex Arena transformed into the shadowed streets of Victorian London, where gas lamps cast wavering halos of light through a suffocating fog. The cobblestone streets were slick with rain, the air heavy with smoke and dampness. Darkened windows watched like lifeless eyes as the scene unfolded, ready for violence. Every flicker of light and scuffle of rats echoed unnaturally, adding to the tension that hung between the two combatants.

Ethan Hunt appeared first, his gaze sharp and calculating, body coiled for movement. The alien architects had gifted him an old Derringer pistol, compact and deadly but with only two shots to spare. He examined it, the chill of the metal a stark reminder of its limitations. Every step echoed in the narrow alley as he assessed potential exits and hid in the cover of shadows, his instincts honed for survival and strategy.

At the opposite end of the street, Snake Plissken materialized, his face half-obscured by the shadow of his leather coat, the glint of his eyepatch catching the gaslight. He raised an eyebrow at the Derringer in his hand, smirking at its irony. Two bullets for a man who had cheated death more times than he could count—this was just another game. The fog curled around him, an unwelcome reminder of the unpredictable threats hidden within.

The atmosphere crackled with an electric tension as a heavy, rhythmic thud echoed from the street. Mr. Hyde lumbered into view, a grotesque silhouette of raw muscle and rage, eyes wild with unhinged fury. The ground trembled with each step, the growl in his throat promising blood. Across the way, Dorian Gray emerged from the fog, his youthful face lit with a smug smile that spoke of dark secrets and indifference to mortal fear. He watched the two combatants as if they were pawns in an entertainment crafted for him alone.

From the shadows, the faint rasp of steel on stone drew Hunt’s attention, his heart rate spiking as the unmistakable figure of Jack the Ripper slipped through the fog, eyes glinting with the thrill of a hunt. The legendary killer’s presence was enough to send shivers down even the most hardened spine, his blade catching the dim light like a wicked grin.

Plissken’s smirk widened as Hyde’s roar shattered the silence, sending a panic-stricken man sprinting into the open, only to be caught by Hyde’s monstrous swipe. Blood sprayed in a gruesome arc, splattering the cobblestones. The scent, metallic and raw, permeated the already frigid air, stoking the battle into a macabre frenzy.

Hunt shifted in the shadows, eyes locking with Plissken’s for a heartbeat. Their unspoken truce was as temporary as it was necessary. Plissken’s gaze darted between the advancing Hyde and the shadowed movements of Jack the Ripper. This wasn’t just a fight; it was survival in the midst of legendary monsters who saw them as little more than prey.

The gas lamps flickered as though sensing the imminent violence, casting the street into deeper pools of shadow and light. The battle between Hunt and Plissken was about to begin, but in this twisted, haunted version of Victorian London, they weren’t just fighting each other, they were being hunted by the darkest figures of history’s nightmares!

A gun duel on the streets of a hellish city scape, seems more like Snake's kind of fight.

I do agree that the environment favors Snake, but I'm still betting on the skill and precision of Hunt.

Sorry I missed out on this one, Culwych. 

I seriously doubt either of them would've gotten past Dorian Gray, though, unless his portrait was within reach and they knew about it.
