Round One:
Knowing what his foe is capable of, David Bowie doesn't take Sephiroth head on. Instead, he resorts to one of his key strengths, rock and roll. Sephiroth is awoken from his sleep one night by a strange psychedelic rhythm. He takes his sword and goes out in search of the music, which lures him deeper and deeper in the wilderness. Just when Sephiroth is about to give up and go home, he sees some movement in the bushes just up ahead. He creeps up toward that area, where he unwittingly walks into David Bowie's ambush. Again, Bowie does not attack directly -- instead, he has minions do the dirty work for him. Sephiroth is suddenly ambushed by dozens and dozens of muppets (leftover from the Labyrinth props room). The one-winged angel is soon overwhelmed by plush and furry puppets that sing along with David Bowie's music while seeking to tear Sephiroth limb from limb. Round One goes to David Bowie.
Round Two:
Initially stunned by the muppet ambush, Sephiroth goes down beneath a wave of Jim Henson's creations. It is only a temporary setback, however, as he soon re-emerges from the wave with his sword in hand. He starts slicing left and right, eviscerating muppets wherever he swings his sword. These are no normal muppets, however; David Bowie's music gives them unnatural life. Even after the muppets are chopped in half or decaptiated, their bodies fight on, marching to the eerie beat of their rock and roll master. Sephiroth eventually throws down his sword in order to resort to fire spells to dispel the freakish puppets. Only when every last muppet has been incinerated can Sephiroth breathe easily. Even then, the toxic ash from their remains will burn its way into the earth, leaving the area completely barren for years afterwards. Round Two goes to Sephiroth.
Round Three:
With his minions finally dispatched, David Bowie stops playing and shows up before Sephiroth. Sephiroth at this point is a little winded, but otherwise none the worse for wear -- whil muppets are vicious little buggers, the fact that they are made of felt and stuffing prevents them from having very hard teeth or doing much damage with their punches. Seeing the mastermind behind the ambush, Sephiroth goes for his sword, intent on finishing the battle. Surprisingly, he doesn't find his sword right away. Even more surprisingly, the blade that only Sephiroth is supposed to be able to wield is in the possession of David Bowie. Sephiroth gapes in bewilderment as to how another person could wield his blade. David Bowie is quite comfortable with large steely objects, however, and finds that eviscerating Sephiroth is sort of like making love -- stab, stab, cut their head off, and then go home to shoot up on some drugs. Rock out, man. Round Three and the fight go to David Bowie.
