Conquest vs. Nappa

## Description

*Conquest of the Viltrumites and Nappa of the Saiyans duel to determine the stronger bald warrior.*

## Interlude

Hiro: Born to warfaring races and sent to subjugate other worlds, these two savage warriors from the stars are as brutal fighters as they are conquerors.

**MBStarscream: And... they're freakin' bald.**

Hiro: Conquest, the bloodlusted soldier of the Viltrum Empire.

**MBStarscream: And Nappa, the barbaric general of the Saiyan Army.**

Hiro: I'm Hiro Hamada.

**MBStarscream: I'm MBStarscream.**

Hiro: And it's our job to examine both warriors' strength, abilities, weapons, and weaknesses to see who would win in a fight.

## Conquest

Hiro: Originating from the planet Viltrum, the Viltrumites thrived as a society of darwinistic warriors and conquerors as they ruled their planet with an unbridled iron fist for centuries. Among these Viltrumites was Conquest, named after their hobby of subjugating entire worlds, and he was no less hungry for power than his peers.

**MBStarscream: When the corona-- I mean Scourge Virus hit Viltrum, Conquest was briefly left in a weakened state by the infection, causing him to have his right arm torn off and his right eye scarred by Rognarr warriors during a campaign. After getting a cybernetic replacement, Conquest was sent to assimilate planets and was apparently the most successful of all the Viltrumite, never failing once.**

Hiro: Conquest would soon check on Mark Grayson's progress on conquering Earth and offer to take his place, threatening to kill him if he resisted. Mark of course refused, leading to a destructive battle that ended with Conquest barely alive.

**MBStarscream: Conquest's unconscious body was taken in by Cecil Stedman to research the Viltrumites, imprisoned in a remote outpost rigged under 400 tons of steel, 6 miles beneath the Mojave Desert. However, he healed from his injuries, easily broke out of the prison and reported to Grand Regent Thragg aboard a Viltrumite spaceship.**

Hiro: Despite his failure, Thragg let him live, tasking him again to kill Invincible and his allies before he joined the Coalition of Planets, a resistance army against the Viltrum Empire. Conquest would follow through on this mission during the Viltrumite War, revealing himself alive by attacking a Coalition ship carrying his targets. With a new arm, and flanked by two other soldiers, Conquest engaged in a rematch with Mark, one he would ultimately lose when Mark tackled him onto a planet and asphyxiated him to death.

**MBStarscream: But Conquest proved to be one heck of a powerful foe. He was the second strongest of the Viltrumites behind Thragg himself, which puts him above the likes of Omni-Man and Thaedus, both of which were able to destroy Viltrum itself with Mark helping.**

Hiro: Conquest's Viltrumite physiology has given him several different superpowers. One of them is extremely slow aging, and he's likely lived to be thousands of years old, yet he is still in his physical prime.

**MBStarscream: Conquest also has dominant genes flowing through his Viltrumite veins. If he or other Viltrumites have a child with a different race, their physical traits and appearance will override that of the race that they bred with. How else do you think Mark was nearly a full Viltrumite despite his human side?**

Hiro: Conquest has immensely high physical stats which is higher than the average Viltrumite due to him being among the elites. He's been shown to survive being completely disemboweled, touching lava, being headbutted to the point where his face and skull were extremely disfigured, and even living through close range of a bomb blast.

**MBStarscream: Conquest's physiology allows him to survive in space, and although he cannot breath in that vacuum, Viltrumites can hold their breath for up to two weeks, and it's almost a given that he has superhuman speed, stamina, and a strength level whose upper limits are completely unknown. Another ability that is very common to his race is that they all possess the ability to fly, because why the heck not?**

Hiro: Conquest's strength is only amplified by his metal prosthetic, and due to his sheer ferocity and bloodlust, he is feared by most living beings, including other Viltrumites, with the exception of the even stronger Thragg. The only weakness that he and his species share is that they have a vulnerability to the unbalance of equilibrium in their inner ear. This is generally set off by extreme frequencies and it can cause them pain, and even kill them.

**MBStarscream: Conquest is also a completely irredeemable sadist and incredibly arrogant, calling Mark a "worm" and revealing to him that he does not believe in any cause, and is motivated purely by bloodlust to do battle and the thrill of killing, much like Battle Beast if he had no honor.**

Hiro: Despite his confidence in battle, he was shown to be terrified of Thragg and begged him to spare his life after he failed to conquer Earth, and in his second battle with Mark, his confident persona slowly faded away as he was dying, showing just how much he feared his own death despite his great strength.

**MBStarscream: And as a Viltrumite, Conquest is vulnerable to the Scourge Virus; though he eventually recovered, the virus severely negated his powers, causing him to lose both his right eye and arm in the midst of a battle with Rognarrs, which are one of the few species in the galaxy known to be able to injure and kill Viltrumites.**

Hiro: But Conquest more than lives up to his name, having never failed to assimilate a planet for his empire. In his own words, if you choose to oppose him and everything the Viltrum Empire stands for, you will not survive.

*Conquest: I want to **thank** you, Mark Grayson...Invincible. Really. From the bottom of my heart. It's not often that I get to cut loose like this. I mean **really** cut loose like I have here. Usually, there are so many mission parameters. "Don’t destroy this." "Keep this person alive." But not here—not with **this** planet. For whatever reason, I don’t really care why, to be honest, I was told--take control, no matter what it takes... take control of the planet. So whatever you did to piss us off--**thank you.** This has been **fun.***

## Nappa

Hiro: The Saiyans, an alien warrior race hailing from Planet Vegeta. With remarkable power levels, they quickly grew to become brutal interstellar conquerors and space tyrants.

**MBStarscream: Among these space tyrants was General Nappa, commander-in-chief of the Saiyan military force and attendant of the prince himself, named after both the planet *and* the king: Vegeta.**

Hiro: The Saiyans were powerful weapons in Frieza's subjugation of planets, however their very abilities made them a liability to the paranoid emperor, who grew afraid that the Saiyans, if left unchecked, could either unite and overwhelm him, or one day provide a warrior to rival Frieza himself, such as the legendary Super Saiyan.

**MBStarscream: You know the rest.**

*Planet Vegeta explodes.*

Hiro: Now some of the few Saiyans still alive, Nappa and Vegeta continued to serve their cruel employer until learning of Earth’s Dragon Balls, which could grant any wish they desired. Seeking immortality, Nappa and Vegeta arrived on Earth, where they fought the allies of their fellow Saiyan Goku to gain more information about the Dragon Balls.

**MBStarscream: Nappa would end up killing most of Goku’s friends before facing the man himself. Nappa proved no match for Goku and was incapacitated, and then killed by Vegeta for his purported weakness. But that didn't mean Nappa wasn't one of the strongest Saiyans to ever live.**

Hiro: He has a power level of about 4,000 and maxed out at roughly 7,000, which is pretty tame compared to Goku and Vegeta post-Super, but this still makes him about 3.5 times stronger than Goku's brother Raditz, who was capable of defeating Piccolo in the beginning of Z, who was capable of blowing up the *moon* with a single ki blast.

**MBStarscream: He can get a lot stronger than that by transforming into a Oozaru when he is exposed to massive quantities of Blutz Waves; amplifying his power 10x greater.**

Hiro: However, Nappa also has attributes unlike most Saiyans of his time. He's completely immune to having his tail grabbed, a notorious weakness of other Saiyans. He is also implied to, aside from the Saiyan royal family, have been the strongest Saiyan alive at the time of Planet Vegeta's destruction.

**MBStarscream: Like other Saiyans, Nappa can gain Zenkais when he receives life threatening injuries which amplify his strength and attributes. The more severe the injury, the stronger he'll become.**

Hiro: And it took a *lot* to put Nappa down for good. He survived Chiaotzu's Farewell, Mr. Tien and Tien's Spirit Tri-Beam, and even in a half-dead state after fighting Goku, who had to use Kaioken just to disable him, it still took a particularly powerful blast from Vegeta to finally kill him.

**MBStarscream: Keep in mind that Vegeta in the second half of the series was far stronger than Goku with Kaioken x2, and could match Goku's Kaioken x*3* Kamehameha. And like all Saiyans, Nappa can manipulate ki energy in the form of devastating attacks.**

Hiro: Nappa primarily uses his various techniques as finishing moves and pumps as much energy into them as possible to make them absolutely deadly. His fighting style is focused on devastating blows that maim, incapacitate of otherwise immobilize his opponents, and while he isn't quite as skilled as Vegeta, he did briefly hold his own against Goku despite the latter outclassing him, possibly because of his superior experience.

**MBStarscream: Nappa can charge up a potent wave of ki and fire it with one hand with Bomber DX, fire an immense blue beam of energy from his mouth called a Break Cannon, and raise two fingers in the air after powering up enough energy to create a large explosion around him with Shock Wave, a move powerful enough to destroy an entire city and be seen from space.**

Hiro: But Nappa isn't exactly a perfect Saiyan. When faced with the prospect of losing to someone he considers weak, Nappa will let blind rage overwhelm his thought processing, with Vegeta having to regularly remind him to calm down or even order him to in extreme cases.

**MBStarscream: Even without Vegeta having to keep him on a leash, Nappa was still defeated by Goku despite his greater experience and ultimately killed by his former partner, who would soon reform and become Goku's on-and-off bestie. Oh, and he can't breathe in space. Bummer.**

Hiro: Still, stay out of Nappa's way if you wanna live, because this Saiyan general will show no mercy.

*Nappa: What's wrong? Oh wait, don't tell me. I think I know what you need. A nice trip to the afterlife. One way, of course.*

## Fatal Fiction

*Mario flips a coin.*

Hiro: Well, Conquest has the terrain advantage on his native planet, but can he stand up to the general of the Saiyan race?

**MBStarscream: Aw yeah, this is gonna be a slugfest!**

*Viltrum*

When Frieza had sent him and Vegeta to subjugate this planet, **Nappa** had a pretty good idea of what to expect from its people.

This also being a race dedicated to the art of war and conquest, the Viltrumites would be fully prepared to resist any who came to their planet to take it from them. Vegeta had certainly made *that* clear to him once they had landed. They hadn't seen any signs of life in this remote part of Viltrum, but this was a big planet, so they would soon enough.

"Stay alert, Nappa," the Saiyan prince warned, ignoring the eye roll that came from his right. "We have no idea what these "Viltrumites" are capable of."

"Please," Nappa said with jest. "We've taken every planet before this one despite facing resistance! Why should *Viltrum* be any different?"

Vegeta wasn't in the mood to argue with his second-in-command anymore, and never got the chance to before the two Saiyans sensed an approaching presence, Vegeta's face quickly going dark while Nappa grew more excited at the prospect of seeing just what Viltrum had to offer.

"Prepare yourself, Nappa. I'm sensing a strong opponent approaching."

Nappa of course ignored Vegeta's caution, still caught up in revelling at fighting a real Viltrumite. "Oh ho, boy! Time to see what Viltrum is truly capable of!"

Sure enough, a hulking bald man with a moustache was soon floating before them, with a large scar running from the top left of his skull through the right side of his jaw. In replacement of his right arm was a robotic prosthetic, and he wore a white jumpsuit with grey details, contrasting the Saiyan pair's Battle Armor.

This... was **Conquest**.

"You sense correctly," he spoke, towering over the two interlopers with disdain. "And the both of you would be wise to leave Viltrum while you still have your lives."

Vegeta turned his head to look at a grinning Nappa, who was eyeing his competition with an eagerness that he'd known all too well from the general at this point. "This one's yours. I'll scour Viltrum and weaken its defenses. Have fun, Nappa."

Nappa only chuckled as Vegeta flew away, leaving him face-to-face with Conquest. "Oh, I will, alright." Pebbles started levitating off the ground as Nappa clenched a strong fist, charging up his ki and taking a fighting stance with a sadistic smirk on his face. It was time to get this show on the road.

Conquest merely watched in contempt as Nappa prepared himself for a fight, readying himself with a stance of his own. "You won't be having any fun when I smear Viltrum's surface with your remains... worm."

**FIGHT!**

The two bald elites lunged at one another and immediately engaged in heated fisticuffs, trading blows while streaking across the sky at breakneck speeds. Nappa did a quick headbutt to stun his opponent before bringing his elbow down on Conquest's head, sending him to the ground. Nappa took the opportunity to swipe two fingers through the air, generating an explosion in front of him that sent Conquest flying backward.

Upon getting to his feet, Conquest growled and charged at Nappa, tackling him across the floor as the two of them grappled. Being evenly matched physically, the two struggled for dominance while Nappa grinned madly at a scowling Conquest, loving the fight thus far. Nappa then grabbed Conquest's head and squeezed it before slamming him into the ground with one hand, only for the Viltrumite to send him flying with a rising uppercut. Reorienting himself in mid-air, Nappa charged up a Bomber DX and fired it down at Conquest, who dodged the attack as it caused an explosion upon impact with the ground and flew up to punch Nappa away, making sure to use his prosthetic for extra damage.

Bloody spit flew out of Nappa's mouth as he flew back from the force of the blow, and Conquest only continued his beatdown from there, pummeling the Saiyan with his savage blows as they flew through the air. Nappa grabbed Conquest's arm and broke it with his elbow, earning a loud snap as Conquest let out a pained scream before Nappa followed up with a punch to the gut that left him stunned. Roaring with maniacal laughter, Nappa grabbed Conquest's head with one hand and grinded it against the ground as he flew, unwittingly crashing into a large rock and shattering it to pieces.

Nappa started beating Conquest mercilessly while standing over the downed Viltrumite, his laughter not stopping until Conquest managed to kick him off. Standing up, Conquest snapped his dislocated arm back into place as the splintered bone and torn skin repaired themselves quickly. Conquest crouched in a battle-ready stance before charging at Nappa and knocking him back with a hook to the face, causing blood to spill out of the Saiyan's nose as he reeled back from the force of the sudden blow. Conquest kept it up, striking Nappa from left and right with his rock-like fists, each blow sending more blood splattering onto the ground.

He suddenly felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his waist, and before he knew it, Nappa had tackled them both through Viltrum's stratosphere. Conquest desperately struck Nappa's head over and over, more blood flying with each punch as Nappa powered through his blows and continued flying through the air with Conquest locked in his grasp. The two smashed through a Viltrum building before landing in the planet's city as other Viltrumites witnessed the battle.

Conquest punched Nappa into the air before flying up to tackle the Saiyan in return, plowing him through several buildings before spinning him around and throwing him far into the distance. Nappa skidded across the ground as he found himself back out in the open area as before, eventually coming to a stop and laying on his front, bruised, but still alive. As he weakly tried pushing himself up, Conquest landed in front of him and folded his arms across his chest, unimpressed as ever.

"Was that honestly your best?" He said contemptously as Nappa looked up at him. "I think I might've been better off fighting your little companion. He at least *seems* like a threat to Viltrum. Something I cannot say about you, worm." He smirked, knowing he'd picked the right words to get under Nappa's skin, and going by the Saiyan's volatile reaction, the words had more than hit their mark. Nappa growled with fury as he forced himself to his feet, powering up with more ki.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT, WEAKING!" He roared, feeling a berserker's rage overwhelm him. "I AM GENERAL NAPPA OF THE SAIYAN ARMY! AND *YOU* ARE ABOUT TO DIE AT MY HAND!"

With all his might, he charged at Conquest and threw a punch at his face.

To his shock, the Viltrumite simply caught his fist in his hand, stopping the Saiyan in his tracks. Without a word, Conquest winded up and punched a hole square through Nappa's stomach, his fist exploding out of the general's back in a spray of blood as the Saiyan doubled over in agony, blood flying out of his mouth. The left side of his head then exploded in agony as Conquest's fingers clawed across his eye, turning half his face red. Howling in pain, Nappa reeled his head back as yellow ki began gathering inside his open mouth.

Before Conquest could react, Nappa fired off a massive wave of yellow energy at his face, blasting him into oblivion and causing a large explosion. Once the dust left behind the explosion cleared, Nappa got a good look at the damage he'd just caused in retaliation. Conquest's head and entire upper body smoked like fire, his jumpsuit torn in several areas. His face was a burnt, bloody mess, the already prominent scar on his head torn open and exposing bone along with an empty eye socket. His moustache and what little hair he had left had been blown away, leaving his head completely uncovered and charred.

Opening his good eye, Conquest grabbed Nappa by the throat and pulled his fist out of the Saiyan's body and punched a second hole through his chest, right through his left lung. Pulling his fist out again, Conquest socked Nappa across the face hard enough to knock him down. As Nappa tried to get up, Conquest grabbed his head and slammed it into the ground hard before turning him onto his back and tearing away his Battle Armor, throwing the pieces behind him and leaving Nappa's body exposed. Nappa raised a hand imploringly, but Conquest was all out of mercy as he raised a blood-soaked fist into the air.

"This *has* been rather fun, Nappa... for me, at least."

The Saiyan's pleas went unheard as Conquest went to town on him.

The first punch Conquest threw ripped Nappa's bottom jaw clean off. There was so much blood; Nappa started choking on it. With hit after hit came more and more blood. Nappa's face was soon caved in completely, and when Conquest finally stopped, he lay still in a pool of red, never to move again. Not even a Zenkai could power him up from that.

Conquest stood up and regarded Nappa's corpse for but a moment before flying off to report the battle to his superior and warn him of the other interloper... who unbeknownst to him was watching from above and looking down at Nappa with thinly-veiled contempt. From the moment he had left Nappa to his fate, Vegeta had known this result would come, but his distaste at his fellow Saiyan's performance was still severe.

Arms folded, Vegeta disgustedly eulogized, "Pathetic."

**FATALITY!**

## Results

**MBStarscream: Okay, that got messy.**

Hiro: Both were formidable warriors, with Nappa winning out in durability *and* versatility, but Conquest outclassed him in quite a few areas.

**MBStarscream: Conquest had thousands of years over Nappa in experience, and remember that Nappa was also beaten by a *less* experienced opponent. Even if Nappa got stronger over time like Goku and Vegeta did, there were still other categories Conquest took with ease.**

Hiro: Like regeneration. True, Saiyans like Nappa get stronger after fighting and can power up from near-fatal injuries via Zenkai, but Conquest still had better healing since he regenerated from having his face caved in within a matter of days, while Nappa was killed by a single attack from Vegeta while in a weakened state.

**MBStarscream: Both are comparable in speed in the atmosphere, but in space, Conquest would be far faster due to space warps putting him at MFTL+, giving him another leg up over Nappa.**

Hiro: And while Nappa can be comparable to an early Piccolo who destroyed a moon, Conquest was above the likes of Omni-Man and Invincible, who working together with Thaedus were about to destroy a planet far bigger than Earth, and only below the same Thragg who survived the surface of the sun for several minutes. Simply put, Nappa just couldn't keep up with Conquest's experience, speed and healing.

**MBStarscream: Looks like Nappa won't be *Saiyan* he's *invincible* anymore.**

Hiro: Conquest wins.
