Some of the most recognizable characters in contemporary science fiction and fantasy literature are going toe-to-toe. Unbound World’s Cage Match 2017 competition is giving authors a shot at writing how a fight, say between the queen of Dragons and a modern god, might go down.

It provides some entertaining scenarios from authors who are obviously having fun with the battle royales. Our pick to take it all home, The Martian’s Mark Watney – and who the contributing author predicted would win his round – got beat by some adolescent magician wannabe, and one that’s not even from Hogwarts.

Check out the rankings as they stand in round 2. We’ll have updates throughout the cage match. Go Daenerys!
