Both Will Rise But Only One Will Stay Standing

I have grown to rather like these fictional fights that I know will never happen. This week I give you Lord Voldemort Vs Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious). Since both these characters are Dues Ex Machina immortals here is the Stipulation. Both Characters have no way to comeback afterwards meaning. Voldemort has no Horcruxes left and Palpatine hasn't prepared a host for his Force Essence transfer. That is the stipulation

BIOS

Tom M. Riddle a.k.a Lord Voldemort
A man with a Hitler complex a half blood passing himself off as a pure blood. Hated his father for being a muggle. Hence his war on mudbloods He was a genius for his time, and coolly manipulative even as a child. He grew up with a chip on his shoulder cause he was different lived in an orphanage and hated muggles. He grew up to be one of the worlds most feared Dark Wizards and inspired a generation of Dark Wizards to his cause, using the unforgivable curses and rallying radical elitist pure blood families to his banner. His weapon of choice fear, so much so the even uttering his name caused people to shriek in fear and called him "He who must not be named". His signature spell was the most dangerous of unforgivable curses called the Avada Kedavara spell aptly named the Killing Curse. His only fear is the powerful Wizard Dumbledor headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. Voldemort survived by splitting his soul into seven (possibly eight) pieces know as the Horcruxes.


Bio

Palpatine, Senator Palpatine later Emperor Palpatine a.k.a Darth Sidious Dark Lord of the Sith
This man's age is unknown it is speculated that his age is older then Jedi Master Yoda. Trained in the dark side by Darth Plaguous a Sith Dark Lord who mastered the art of Immortality, but saw to it not to completely train his apprentice in the art. Sidious would kill his former master and take the Mantle of Dark Lord for himself without fully knowing the secret to immortality. It is unclear if the emperor is the first form he has taken. The Secret to Sidious's power is Transfer of Force Essence. It was mentioned in books that Sidious's current form of the emperor was a specially made clone that wouldn't awaken until the original died. Do not let his old decrepit looks fool you. He is fast and can kill without thought or reason mainly through the use of Force Lightning. The full extent of his power is unknown having once destroyed a fleet of Star Destroyers with a Force Storm. Palpatine is very charismatic and persuasive and has brought even his most deadly of enemies to his side with talks of friendship and understanding (especially during his rise to power as Emperor).

It is magic vs Dark Side Force powers. In this battle you have two highly skilled and highly feared men either of which could very easily kill the other. I see this fight going in two stages, both will send flunkies to weaken the other and then when that fails each will try to tempt the other into working with the other for a short while. Then we get to the fight, this is where I give the slight advantage to Sidious. He will most likely lore Voldemort into thinking he has completely demoralized the decrepit old man and then spring with force lightning to shock Voldemort to death. Since Magic is a form of energy (at least in my opinion) I say the Avada Kedavara can be deflected by the lightsaber and since Sith Lords are known to place force barriers around themselves, the spell would fizzle out and knock palpatine back. So I give the win to Palpatine

Tell me in the comment section how you think the fight would go down and who would win.
