Skullgirls watch Death Battle

Ryu Hayabusa vs Strider Hiryu

[Wiz: Ninjitsu. Originally created by farmers to kill their oppressive samurai lords, the ninja has become one of the deadliest killers in history.]

Valentine smirked to herself, prideful of her own skills.

"Never could get into the whole ninja thing, it always just sorta felt like the same 'you killed my father' kinda story. Kinda boring-OW! Who hit me?!" Cerebella barked. Valentine whistled innocently.

[Boomstick: Like Ryu Hayabusa, the ultimate Dragon Ninja.

Wiz: And Strider Hiryu, the high-tech mercenary.]

"Assassins were often for hire rather than loyal to anything..." Leviathan noted bitterly.

"High tech ninja, huh? Looks like it's ancient history vs the modern era!" Nadia spoke up.

[Wiz: His name literally meaning Dragon Falcon, Ryu Hayabusa was born in the Dragon-lineage legacy, and trained in the ways of the ninja from the moment he could crawl.]

"Tch... Insane how people force their kids to learn this dangerous stuff at such young ages..." Ben growled.

"Heh... My mom always told me I've been wrestling since I was in diapers... I'd always play wrestling with my stuffed toys... Hit my head on the fireplace doing that..." Beowulf chuckled.

[Boomstick: How are you supposed to keep a baby in their crib when they can freakin' back-flip out of it?]

"Heh... I've seen babies get out of cribs in weirder ways than that. Like the one that ate his crib." Annie chuckled.

"Bet it was a beaver feral." Nadia chuckled. "They're little nibblers."

[Wiz: A prodigy in the art of combat, Ryu far exceeded his clan's expectations. When he turned 18, he donned the traditional blue garb... Then single-handedly defeated both the criminal cult of Nostradomis and the army of Emperor Garuda.]

"Just you wait! I'm gonna do something wicked cool before I even turn eighteen!" Umbrella chirped.

"I doubt you'll be doing anything on that level, princess." Valentine chuckled.

[Boomstick: And that was 'before his father gave him the Dragon Sword: a single-edged katana carved from the fang of a dragon which, when combined with the mystical eye of the dragon, becomes a divine blade of ultimate power.]

"What is a dragon compared to the might of a goddess?" Double grumbled.

"It said divine blade, stupid. It probably has god power." Carol grunted.

[Wiz: It also has one serious security system. If someone other than a strong-willed Hayabusa attempts to wield it, the true Dragon Sword will feed on and eventually devour their soul.]

Marie clutched at the area in her chest where the skullheart resided. It seemed so many combatants shared her struggles...

"So it's a long passed down family heirloom that no one else can touch? How convenient." Valentine noted.

[Boomstick: I need that kind of tech for my car! Teach those damn caddy-smashing raptors a lesson.]

"He still on about Riptor smashing that girly pink corvette of his?" Painwheel deadpanned.

"It's only natural to be angered at someone ruining your property." Valentine shrugged.

[Wiz: In addition, Ryu has an enormous arsenal of various weaponry, including the Lunar Staff, Falcon's Talons, a Kusari-gana, basically a chain sickle, numerous types of, shurikens, bombs, bows, etc., etc. and the Eclipse Scythe: a weapon forged by werewolves and quenched in the blood of living human beings. Because some people just have to do things the hard way.]
