Match 7589 Scar Predator vs. Captain America (Bucky Barnes)

[Guest callisto]

These creatures were something which he hadn’t encountered before, and they were quite the prey to hunt. They came in numbers, all in different shapes and sizes to where he believed that there was going to be no end in this particular hunt. Were he to capture some of the specimens which he had encountered, they could prove to be something for interesting future hunts, but this was not the case. No, this was survival. And the entire city was infested with these creatures which had stormed through Philadelphia and forced the humans to cower into their shelters. It was a surprise to know that there weren’t any humans who were out within the city prepared to do battle, but the Yautja himself was perhaps the only one in the city who had fought. But of course, there was much thrill to be had here in the hunts. Strewn about the city streets were the corpses of many of the creatures, most of them were the arachnid like creatures which had the ability to shoot out some sort of acidic webs. And the flying reptilian creatures, while unintelligent, made up for their ferociousness. The smaller, wasp-like creatures were more problematic though, often coming in droves which forced the Predator warrior to seek refuge in abandoned buildings until he deemed it safe enough to come out. But sometimes, there were always a few surprises within the condemned buildings which he had come across. Finding more of the arachnid like monstrosities, forcing him to fight for his life. In the midst of his battles with the spider-like creatures, he had realized that they had bred quite similarly to the Hard Meat, using hosts for incubation for their young. He had seen the eruptive phase of the birth of the arachnid creatures, and came to the realization that the numbers were increasing. And they shot webs which burned like the blood of the Hard Meat. The Predator warrior had been forced to burn down several buildings in order to eliminate the arachnid threat. But the swarms of wasps and arachnids were the least of his problems. Scar had come to the realization that there were larger life forms which he couldn’t begin to identify as they were so unusual and so very odd that such a task as to call them arthropods or mollusks was downright impossible. He had come across numerous tentacles from a creature which had many mouths and eyes, but he had managed to kill the tentacle beast with his skill, strength and his wit. With blades and plasma blasts, the Yautja warrior did the monstrosity. But there were more on the streets. More creatures which were massive in size. Some which were impossibly tall to where hunting them was just a downright impossibility. As much as Scar had wished to claim the ones who were as tall as the skyscrapers, the ones with the six legs and odd bodies with tentacles writhing out from their backs, he knew that he was no match for them and continued on with his hunt as he roamed about the city streets of Philadelphia. Now back in Penn’s Landing, the Yautja warrior was confronted with one of the more larger creatures. It was like an odd combination of a crustacean and an insect. A cross between a mantis and a lobster, as well as the torso of a man though it was heavily misshapen and swollen with the flesh of many humans it had feasted upon. And now this thing hungered, wanting to feast upon the flesh of the Yautja warrior. However the Predator warrior wasn’t going to let that happen. Scar gripped in his hands the Kusarigama, and he swung it above over head and lunged it out, now wrapping the balled chain around the waist of the creature as the ball impacted up against the creature’s gut. Scar, using his immense strength pulled the arthropod in towards him, but he watched as the creature moved it’s pincers out and snapped the metal chain of the weapon in two-- rendering the weapon useless. Tossing the sickle aside, Scar reached to the back of his hips and took a hold of his naginata blade-staff and drew the weapon out, jerking the handle within his hands and the weapon extended out with the sharpened blade ends now fully extended. He watched as the creature lunged out with it’s massive pincers, aiming to grab away at him, but the Predator warrior leapt forward with his arms held high, ready to drive the bladed edge of the naginata firmly deep into the head of his quarry. With a violent thrust of his arms, Scar plunged his weapon deep into the head of the creature. Black blood splattered onto the Yautja warrior’s armored form as the creature screamed out a violent shrill. Scar plunged his blade forward into the head of the creature, and he shifted his own weight forward as the beast stumbled back. It continued on screaming and screaming as the Yautja repeatedly stabbed the naginata firmly into the chest of his enemy. The creature shrieked and shrieked as it was being killed by the prey which it intended to feast upon. Scar fired off a shot from his plasma caster, blowing a massive hole into the chest of the creature and more of the creature’s black blood spilled onto his form. He yanked the naginata out from within the beast’s chest, and sunk his weight forward, causing the creature to fall onto it’s back. With a furious roar from within, Scar then swung his arms, slashing the bladed ends of the naginata straight in for the neck region of the creature. Blood spilled onto the streets and the creature became nothing more than dead weight. With it’s head severed, Scar then reached out with a hand and took a hold of the creature’s decapitated head, and held it high up. He roared furiously towards the sky and established his dominance. The creatures were a challenge, but he had over-come them, and he would continue to over-come them until this phenomena would cease. Breathing heavily, Scar looked ahead of himself and noticed that there was a heat pattern, it was large and the way it sounded was reminiscent of engines. And there were more and more heat signatures. The humans were coming out, and they were armed. The human military forces were now ready to fight, and Scar now needed to retreat. Quickly, the Yautja warrior leapt up and he landed onto a nearby rooftop. Scar stared ahead at the city horizon, watching as the mist began to clear up. And with the humans fighting to reclaim the city… It only meant one thing. The phenomena was over. Scar immediately moved a hand to his left wrist CPU gauntlet, and he pressed down onto several buttons and activated his invisibility cloaking field. And like a ghost, the Yautja warrior turned and began heading off elsewhere within the city of Philadelphia.--- Several days had gone by since the phenomena occurred, though the creatures were still lingering in the city. It was kind of expected, an invasive species coming in to an ecosystem which they were completely alien to and were now the dominant predator in the area. Of course, the humans had done their best to get rid of these creatures but it was harder to actually go through with the extermination of these creatures as they breed in numbers, and the smaller ones were harder to deal with. He had tracked down where they were coming from, a wooded area in Fairmount Park, which was a large area-- mostly forested but it was a good hiding spot for the Wasps and the Arachnids to find refuge in and perhaps begin their rise in population. But he wasn’t going to let that happen, these were his grounds and he might as well protect them from any invasive species while he could. So it was best to nip this problem in the bud and make sure neither of these creatures came back. Most of the day was spent residing within the area of Fairmount, and he had used his time to actually thoroughly exterminate these pests. The Arachnids and the Wasps were relatively easy to deal with as Scar often used his plasma caster and his blades to deal with the larger of the creatures, but the smaller ones he simply had to crush beneath his feet, no real problem in doing that whatsoever. And then, Scar heard something which caused his ears to perk up-- footsteps. He listened in carefully and using his skills as a tracker, he listened in carefully with the noises. There was a pair of footsteps, one person, and whoever it was surely was making their way here. Knowing that he wasn’t alone, Scar then immediately activated his cloaking field and he leapt up into the tree tops. He stared down below, now noticing that there was a heat signature passing through the shrubbery and the bushes. And there was the intruder. A man, dressed in an unusual outfit. And he was armed with a shield of sorts, and a side-arm as well. And one of his arms-- one of his arms was mechanical. Scar’s sensors picked it up. Whoever this man was… Most certainly caught Scar’s attention indeed. --- He had been requested by the government to help clean up the mess. A mess which the United States Military had made in their little experiments which had gone horribly awry and now he was on the call to help fix this little problem. Most of the creatures in the rural areas were more or less exterminated and Philadelphia was definitely being cleaned of this extra-dimensional pests. Most of the creatures, the ones which had been contained were kept in government storage for further testing but he had expressed his opinion on the creatures which were being kept. Bucky Barnes didn’t like how the government had been operating as of late. Now he knew why Steve Rodgers, his former partner and the preceding Captain America before him decided to retire. But he had a legacy to live up to, a legacy which Steve felt as if he were more than perfectly suited for. And he would do Steve proud by fulfilling the legacy until the next chosen Captain America. He had a feeling that the remaining creatures had been isolated in Fairmount Park, and he decided to venture into there in order to exterminate the remaining monstrosities and if they were reproducing, well, he would more or less finish the job by fire. Bucky looked around the area, studying it to see if there were any signs of the creatures nearby, and he had noticed something peculiar about this area. There were webbed dear and possums stuck onto the trees, but that was it. So the creatures were here. But it seemed as if someone had beaten him to the punch. That was until Bucky had heard the sounds of the shrieks of the creatures. And so he took out his side-arm and gripped his shield which Steve had bestowed upon him as the next Captain America. Bucky watched as there were four of the large spider creatures. One of them leapt in towards him, but Bucky swung his shield, allowing the creature to pounce onto it and he slammed the spider down and crushed it with his adamantium shield. Quickly, in succession, Bucky then swung and threw his shield--- impacting two of the creatures and he aimed his side-arm and fired at them, their black blood spraying onto the ground. Two more of the Spider creatures crawled out from the trees, and sprayed their acidic webs in for Captain America, but upon hearing this, Bucky shielded himself. The webs not even burning through the shield as Bucky recovered and fired away at the spiders. One of them was hit, but the second leapt forward. But Bucky moved his bionic arm out and took a firm hold of the creature by the leg, and he swung it in towards a nearby tree and stomped down onto the spider’s head, cracking it’s skull open. Impressed with this man’s physical prowess, the Yautja warrior silently leapt down and he glared at Bucky Barnes as the soldier remained, ready and standing for the next extra-dimensional creature which would be coming it’s way for him. The Predator warrior de-activated his invisibility cloaking field, now revealing himself in the world around him and Captain America. With a quick jerk of both his hands, the Predator warrior unsheathed both his wristblades from both Dlex forearm gauntlets. He balled his hands firmly into fists. Bucky Barnes turned and widened is eyes in shock. Before him stood what appeared to be some sort of armored warrior, but it definitely wasn’t human, and it definitely wasn’t one of those creatures from the mist. No, this was something else entirely different.. Bucky gripped his shield and braced himself. Will Scar Predator further prove his worth by taking the skull of the new Captain America? Or will Bucky fulfill the legacy which Steve Rodgers had started?

The continuation of my Scar Predator arc. I had actually a hard time in trying to work this one out as I wanted to continue off from where the last fight went with, and I thought that this would've been something of a logical step forward in the storyline. Hope you all enjoy.

 

Scar Predator is a Class 9 in strength.

 

Scar Predator is armored with the Standard Issue Medium Grade Dlex Armor.

[AVP vs The Terminator]

Awesome setup!

Well, Bucky has an advanced EMP device hidden inside his bionic arm.. Do human EMP's affect the Yautja at all? If so, Scar will have to fight Bucky hand-to-hand, and he'll probably still have the advantage there, due to his superior strength and skill. I'd probably give it to Scar in the end, he'll have the reach advantage with his Naginata.

And by the way, Bucky/Captain America's Shield is made from Vibranium (A substance more durable than Adamantium, but it also has another advantage; It soaks up energy like a sponge, which will render the plasma caster useless) rather than Adamantium.

 

Also, I'm just curious, what rank do you think Scar would be in Yautja culture now? I know he was Unblooded to start with, but he's come a loooooong way since then.

Thanks for commenting and thank you for your insight.

 

As for EMP's affecting Yautja weaponry, I would think that the plasma caster, smart disc and the cloaking might be affected but that's probably it as far as that goes. Maybe the mask too, but I don't see it affecting Scar's thermal infrared vision. And given that it's cold right now in Philadelphia, Bucky's going to stand out with his body heat in the cold temperatures.

 

Vibranium, you say? Hmmm... Guess I'll have to re-vise the listed weapons. I was going off basic knowledge on Captain America's shield, some official sources say Adamantium, while others Vibranium.

Well, in the Ultimate Marvel universe (A series of comics set in an alternate universe, with major changes made to every character) Cap's shield is made of a Vibranium/Adamantium alloy, so maybe you were reading about the Ultimate version?

[Indolent]

The shield's got a mixture of Vibranium and either steel or iron. Pretty certain its steel. Separately, Vibranium isn't as durable as Adamantium. Adamantium was created from reverse engineering the fusion of an unknown catalyst, either steel or iron, and Vibranium, which is what was used to make Captain America's shield.

 

Granted its able to absorb kinectic energy to reduce any potential harm inflicted thereupon to zero damage, it doesn't mean the metal itself is far more durable than Admantium. Its ability just makes it seem like it is. The material that Captain America's shield made of is certainly superior to Adamantium. Its been called Proto-Adamantium.

 

Anyways, sorry for getting off topic.

 

Onto the match... not sure. Let me think about it a bit more.

I looked it up on Marvel Database-- it's definitely Steel-Vibranium alloy.

 

So re-affirming this, I'm establishing that the shield used is infact the Steel-Vibranium alloy shield.

 

Sometimes, I get confused on which shield is which.

Bucky has my vote. Not ragging on Predators but I just think Bucky would win this fight.

Let us say that Barnes will not have too easy a time. Scar is able to win this one. If this Captain America was Steve Rogers, it would be a wholly different story.

This is new for Buck, if it was Steve Rogers; he'd be the winner since he has experience. But with Scar, it'd be a close fight but the Predator wins. Imagine Scar having a hard time with the shield but if distracted, Buck would loose it.

[Guest Dark Ranger X]

You guys aren't giving Bucky enough credit.

 

As Winter Soldier, Barnes kicked major ass. He may not have the Super Soldier serum, but that Bionic Arm more than makes up for it. Also, unlike Steve, Bucky will do whatever it takes to get the job done.

[Guest Dark Ranger X]

So his time as Winter Soldier means nothing?

[Indolent]

What about the time he spent with Cap in WW2...?

That maybe true, but keep in mind that Scar Predator, or at least this version has garnered quite the experience. The purpose of this Predator arc was to really see how far Scar could go as a warrior after having completed his initiation hunt in Antarctica, which was the events of AvP had he survived. And along the hunts he has had, Scar has gained some experience.

Now I am not saying that this is going to be easy for Scar, far from it but what I am saying is that this is not going to be easy for Bucky either on account of the fact (as far as this arc goes) that this version of Scar is more experienced than the one in saw in AvP on account that this version survived his Blooding Ritual and went onto be a warrior.

 

Bucky is going to be in for a fight, but then again, so is Scar.

 

Didn't Steve teach Bucky or something? I read somewhere that kind of happened.

In WW2, Bucky was to Steve Rogers what Robin is to Batman. So even back then he was trained up, before a plane he was in went down and cold-preserved him. The Russians found him with amnesia, gave him the Bionic Arm (which was constantly upgraded as technology progressed), and programmed him to be a completely ruthless killer.

 

The arm doesn't only fire off EMPs, but can fire off energy blasts as well.

[AVP vs The Terminator]

The arm doesn't only fire off EMPs, but can fire off energy blasts as well.

The energy blasts are more like electric shocks, similar to what a taser produces.

[RakaiThwei]

The energy blasts are more like electric shocks, similar to what a taser produces.

 

If that's true, than Scar can more than definitely tank those.

Oh man. Finally. 3 times I've sat down to read this, and had to get up and do something else. Great set-up. "it's good" from me. This will be a very close match, but I think Scar will emerge the victor.

[Guest sirmethos]

as usual, a great setup. "it's good".

 

 

that said, after a relatively good match, Bucky takes the win.

 

while Scar is physically(strength, speed, durability) superior, Bucky is used to dealing with stronger and faster opponents.

 

Bucky is more skilled, having fought people like Cap(steve rogers), Wolverine and Black Widow to a stand still, he is also, on top of being a brilliant martial artist, a Master assassin, stated to be for his generation, what Elektra and Bullseye is for theirs. Black Widow has stated that he is "one of the most dangerous men she knew."

 

Bucky also has the edge in experience, Scar's entire experience lies in the movie, and the fights of this arc. while Bucky has first 4 years of War(in WWII), then almost 40 years of experience working as an operative for the Soviet, then a few years after he regained his memories, as a hero..

 

the Shield, is durable enough to stand up to anything Scar can throw at it.

 

 

all in all, Bucky goes out as the winner of the fight.

 

 

that said, Scar takes the votes. there are a lot of fans that are going to vote for Scar simply because they like him better or don't really know about Bucky. it's a popularity contest, and in that, the Votes go to Scar.

Glad to know you enjoyed the set up though!
