Shaolin Monk vs Rajput Warrior


Beginning Analysis: What Happen when China's & India's greatest martial artists go head to head? Read on to see who...is...deadliest!?

Shaolin Monk
Short Range: Emei Piercers
Medium Range: Twin Hooks
Long Range: Wind & Fire Wheel
Special: Whip Chain
Armor: Monastic Robes

Rajput Warrior
Short Range: Katar Punching Dagger
Medium Range: Khanda Sword
Long Range: Chakrum Flying Disk
Special: Aara Coiled-Sword
Armor: Rajput Chainmail & Helmet

Who Got the Edge
Emei Piercers vs Katar: The Katar gets the edge. The Emei Piercers are capable of doing some surprisingly decent damage, but the Katar delivers more force with each attack, and can do horrific damage to the internal organs.

Twin Hooks vs Khanda: The Twin Hooks get the edge. You only have one weapon with the Khanda, while you have two weapons with the Twin Hooks. On top of that, the Twin Hooks have four striking areas, while the Khanda only has one.

Wind & Fire Wheel vs Chakrum Disk: Both weapons get the edge. They both fly through the air, and they both can slice right through a person's neck with little trouble.

Whip Chain vs Aara: The Aara gets the edge. While both weapons aren't necessarily the best at killing, the Aara has a greater chance to kill in this fight due to the fact that the Shaolin Monk is practically unarmored, while the Whip Chain is reduced to a disarming tool in this fight because of the Rajput's armor.

Monastic Robes vs Rajput Chainmail vs Helmet: The Rajput's armor gets the edge. While the robes give the monk an edge in speed, they'll be able to do nothing once a Katar goes through.

Setup
Jin-Sun was a monk at the Shaolin Temple looking for enlightenment & forgiveness. 5 Years before his arrival, Jin-Sun was a wandering mercenary that would accept anyone's coin. After a disastrous incident involving the death of a little girl, Jin-Sun decided that a lifestyle of bloodshed & money wasn't right. He layed down his sword, and journeyed to the Shaolin Temple in an efffort to see if the priests there would forgive him.
It had now been 5 years since then. Jin-Sun was now a full fledged monk, respected by common folk & noble alike. Despite his gains, he still felt burdened by the blood of the little girl that he spilt. Every now and then, he would have nightmares of that day, and wake up in sweat & tears. He kept going on with his new life, hoping that the nightmares would subside.
On a particularly warm & sunny day, Jin-Sun was in the rock garden raking it into one of the designated patters, when he heard footsteps coming up the temple steps. Jin-Sun set the rake on a small rock, and turned around to see who it was. He was surprised to see that the visitor was a Rajput, a defender of India. Jin-Sun encountered a couple Rajputs during his mercenary years, and even fought against one or two of them. Given their nature, he was curious as to why one would venture here.
"What brings you to the Shaolin Temple?" Jin-Sun asked while walking over to the visitor.
The Rajput simple stood in one place, staring at Jin-Sun.
"Is something wrong?" asked Jin-Sun nervously.
"Are you Jin-Sun the Gold Blooded?" the Rajput asked.
Jin-Sun hadn't heard than name in a long time. "Nobody has called me that in a while." he responded. "But yes, that is my name."
The Rajput nodded. "My name is Kajnet Singh. 5 years ago, you killed my daughter in your thirst for greed. You may have redeemed yourself in the eyes of the monks here and the people, but you haven't redeemed yourself in mine. I am here to kill you to avenge my daughter's death!"
"I knew that this day would come." Jin-Sun solemnly said. "If it is a fight you desire, then I shall give it to you. Just know that I would go lying down."
Kajnet unhooked the Aara Coiled Sword from his belt, and unfurled the blade. It fell to the ground with a soft clang. "I wouldn't have it any other way." he said.
Jin-Sun uncoiled the Whip Chain from his waist, and gripped it in his right hand. "Then, have at me." he spoke.
Kajnet immediately charged Jin-Sun, all the while swinging his Aara from side to side. The deadly blade was flying all over, and if Jin-Sun wasn't careful, the blade could very well cut him to ribbons. Seeing an opportunity, Jin-Sun swung his Whip Chain at Kajnet's weapon in an attempt to disarm him. Disarm him it did, but at the same time it allowed Kajnet's the grasp the chain.
The two men now were engaged in a brutal tug of war. Kajnet was pulling on the Whip Chain as hard as he could, while Jin-Sun was holding on to the weapon for dear life. After a few seconds, Kajnet managed to pull the Whip Chain out of Jin-Sun's hands, and threw it into the bushes. When he turned around to face his opponent, he saw a metallic blade flying towards him. In landed just past his head, when he noticed a small stream of blood coming out of his face. He placed his fingers into the blood, then looked back at Jin-Sun. Both men nodded at each other, then resumed the fight.
Jin-Sun picked up the Twin Hooks that were right next to the rock garden, then went charging for Kajnet. As he was closing the distance, he noticed the Chakrum flying towards him. He swung one of his blade's at the disc, and knocked it to the ground. Jin-Sun closed the distance, when Kajnet suddenly drew his Khanda, a sword as impressive as his own. The Khanda was raised just as the Twin Hooks were coming down, and a loud clang echoed through the temple ground.
At this time a couple monks began crowding near Kajnet and Jin-Sun. They were all bearing witness to a magnificant fight, and despite their Buddhist believes, were savoring the spectacle before them. Both men payed no heed to the other, and fully concentrated on each other.
The day had become afternoon, and the sun was right in the middle of the sky. Both men were still fighting each other, not giving an inch or showing weakness. The clasing of the Twin Hooks against the Khanda starting to sound strangely soothing to both warriors. In a surprise move, Kajnet managed to break one of the Twin Hooks that Jin-Sun was using with a single attack. The upper half fell to the ground, while Jin-Sun threw the handle into a small pond right next to him.
"Feeling agitated?" Kajnet asked. Jin-Sun didn't even make a sound. The two warriors were now even, and went back to striking each other. Despite earlier moments, they were starting to feel fatigued by how long their fight was. Doing their best to not give up, they kept on swinging. A minute later, and Jin-Sun managed to catch the Khanda with his remaining Twin Hook, and they were both back in a tug-of-war. This went on for a few more seconds, until Kajnet pulled the Twin Hook out of Jin-Sun's hands, and accidentally disarming himself in the process.
Kajnet turned around to see both weapons fall down the temple steps, not noticing Jin-Sun drawing Emei Piercers from his sleeves. The monk then charged his Indian opponent, hoping that one last attack would finally stop this fight. He was about to stab Kajnet in the head, when cold steel went through his gut. Jin-Sun looked down, and saw that Kajnet's Katar was stuck in his stomach. Kajnet let go of the weapon, and Jin-Sun fell to his knees. Just as he was about to die, Jin-Sun spoke only two words to his victorius opponent.
