Ultimate Showdown (Team): Barret Wallace & Vincent Valentine VS. Detective Spooner & Sonny

I've reviewed the game Final Fantasy VII before, and spoke wonderfully of it, but I have not yet mentioned the movie I, Robot. It tells the story of Detective Spooner, and his quest to show that the inventor of the modern robot was killed by one of his own creations. He ends up successful, but the "murderous" robot, Sonny, turned out to be a protagonist in the story, as well as being one of Spooner's friends.

For this battle, I'll be matching up two teams. Barret Wallace, a rebel with a gun for an arm (literally) and a short temper, teams up with Vincent Valentine, a vampire-like man who is quite proficient in firearms (as well as having the ability to transform into a variety of different monsters). Those two are pit against two of the protagonists of I, Robot: Detective Spooner, a detective with a hatred for robots (along with having a completely robotic arm) and Sonny, the first intelligent robot of the world.

Not knowing where they are, Barret and Vincent exchange a quick glance before looking over the large metal table they curiously appeared behind. They see Detective Spooner pointing his gun straight at them before they dive for cover. However, Spooner fires no shots. Meanwhile, Spooner and Sonny are discussing the events behind cover of their own. Spooner says "I'll get a look at them, then you run around the side of the room and test out their firepower." Sonny replies, "So I'm the bait? Why?" Spooner makes a fist and knocks on Sonny's metal casing a few times before saying, "That's why." Sonny follows the detective's instructions and dashes out of his cover. Barret opens fire on him, screaming the whole time, while Vincent lands three well-aimed blows at his head before realizing that their guns are futile. Vincent ducks for cover as Spooner's bullets shower the area, eventually ending Barret's ammo. Vincent watches quitely as his friend silently slides to the floor, lifeless. He sighs and jumps out of cover, just as Sonny runs up to him to deliver a final blow. He is successful, but in his last moment Vincent pulls the trigger, which is silently stopped by detective Spooner's head.

WINNERS: Sonny & Detective Spooner (deceased)
