If the defendant can prove that the plaintiff consented to the battery, the plaintiff will not be able to prevail.

Can a civil court change the status of plaintiff to be the defendant?
No. Whoever files first is the Plaintiff. If the Defendant then chooses to "cross-sue", the Defendant will still be the defendant on the pleadings even though by virtue thereof, the defendant has launched what is called a counter-claim. In such a scenario, the Defendant will have to defend the Plaintiff's claim, and progress the counter-claim ---- in the same way the plaintiff will need to progress its claim as Plaintiff (and yes, in the same way, the Plaintiff will have to defend the counter-claim launched by the Defendant). By way of additional info, note that the "whoever files first" rule is generally applied to "fix" jurisdiction too. Although the general rule is that the Defendant should be sued in its own jurisdiction, rules modify this basic approach, most often by way of the applicable treaty (e.g. by "special jurisdiction" and "exclusive jurisdiction") and thus by such rules, often the plaintiff is able to sue in its own jurisdiction. Therefore if both potential parties believe they have a claim against the other, where the rules allow for the jurisdiction to be in the plaintiff's own, then it works on a "first come first served basis.
