My thirty seventh for episode 37
Tigerzord belongs to Saban
Epyon belongs to Sunrise inc.
Death Battle belongs to Screwattack
RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum (R.I.P)
Note: You're gonna love this episode. I'll make the first chapter of Godzilla NES right after this and then back to Death Battle of Ryu vs Scorpion and then Yang fighting her evil side, then back to Samurai Jack!
Also. I know this one took long because college has just started for me today. I may slow down a bit with college but I will still continue writing these fics for you, my fans.
Enjoy the Episode!
RWBY was already starting to do another Death Battle as they were remembering giving JNPR, SSSN, and Penny more episodes that they will enjoy. RWBY even gave the pokemon manual to JNPR just in case. Penny was already beginning to love the show and she wants to see more of it so she got her discs that were already seen by everyone else.
The next episode RWBY, especially Ruby and Yang, may really enjoy is the episode that showed off those awesome mechs.
Both sisters have a high obsession with mechs when they were younger. They always watched the protagonists piloting those awesome mechs that are mostly over a hundred feet tall, armed to the teeth with all kinds of awesome weapons, long or short ranged, and even awesome nerve wracking fights that are so awesome to experience and see. Weiss and Blake haven't seen them a lot in their lives so they are interested how this will play out.
"Alright, guys! Here we go with the mech episode!" Ruby announced as she hits play.
(Cues Invaders Jim Johnston)
RWBY now sees many kinds of villains, including Darth Vader that they wanna know more about.
Wiz: Evil. It has many faces, and sometimes a good natured soul may become it's unknowing pawn.
That's true, RWBY can understand that even a good hearted person could also fall victim to working for a villain.
"I can understand how that feels…." Blake muttered sadly.
"It's okay, Blake." Weiss assured to her friend. "You should not dwell in your past and focus on the future as our teammate and friend." She smiled.
Blake smiled too and felt better. "Thanks, Weiss." Blake said as she remembered how they were at each other's throats during the time Weiss was being pretty offensive with all faunus as White Fang members. But she apologized to Blake how wrong she was on the way home after the incident at the docks where Roman tried to steal some dust.
Boomstick: ...Oh did you say something? I couldn't hear you over GIANT FIGHTING ROBOTS! Seriosuly, what's cooler than awesome giant robots? Absolutely nothing!
"YES!" Ruby and Yang all shouted as the two sisters so so dig giant robots! Ruby and Yang have used to watch a lot of giant robot shows when they were younger and they still love them a lot to this day. Now they are excited to see a Death Battle of mechs.
Blake and Weiss, however, don't know much about mechs and they have only heard of them a few times in Beacon and other places but don't overall know so they are a bit curious to learn this.
Wiz: The White Tigerzord, the 6th Thunderzord.
Boomstick: And Epyon, the 6th Gundam.
"Those are some really awesome names for those robots!" Ruby shouted with glee.
"Well, time to see how interesting this can get with giant mechs that are much larger than Paladins." Blake announced.
"I'm interested too." Weiss agreed.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.
(Cues Power Rangers — Fight (Instrumental))
The episode starts off with giant vehicles that resemble all kinds of animals, including mythical ones as they thunder across the terrain together against the threat.
"What are those?" Weiss wondered as she started to gain some interest but Ruby and Yang knows what they resemble since they watched tv shows like that when they were kids.
"Oh, you'll see. Me and Rubes have seen a show similar to this when we were younger." Yang answered with Ruby having a big grin on her face seeing these awesome vehicles.
Wiz: Behold, the Thunderzords; mighty, bestial vehicles with a power and force like you never seen before.
Boomstick: Unless you live in Japan, than that shit's everywhere.
"I'm so gonna love this!" Ruby squeed.
Now they see a bunch of heroes in cool spandex suits and cool helmets of all kinds of colors.
Wiz: The Thunderzords are piloted by the mighty morphin Power Rangers; five overbearing and overemotional humans.
Boomstick: Teenagers.
"That pretty much sounds like us and other students of Beacon." Blake stated.
"But with weapons, dust, aura, semblance, and no giant robots." Weiss also said.
"Well. Me and Ruby used to dress up like the characters on TV show we used to watch that are similar to the Power Rangers here, and we used to do a lot of cool stuff until we grew out of it. I feel happy to have my memories return." Yang stated as Ruby kept watching her younger childhood resurface.
"Huh. I should watch the show you two used to watch then." Weiss answered.
Back to the show.
Wiz: For over a year, these five heroes defended the Earth from the evil Rita Repulsa and her cronies.
"She looks like some kind of evil gypsy." Weiss commented on Rita who's one the series main villains.
"Yeah. The show me and sis watched also had a villain what was a bit like her." Ruby told Weiss.
Boomstick: But when her boss, Lord Zedd, showed up and started beating some serious ranger ass, the team knew they needed some help.
The villain named Zedd really does look like a serious villain, due to his vicious appearance of his armor and suit having pieces that resemble bone plates, much like that of a Grimm. In fact, he almost looks like a human version of a Grimm.
"And the serious and badass looking villains too." Yang announced.
Wiz: Thus, a giant floating head in a tube, and his robot buddy, set to work building a new ranger with a new zord.
Ruby and Yang all laughed at the giant head named Zordon since he's just a floating head in a tube and he's the higher authority here.
"I don't know what to say about a head inside some kind of tube." Blake answered.
"I agree." Weiss answered. "This is getting weird and is he some kind of ghost since he's glowing?"
"From the show we used to watch, the head was a plant." Yang answered.
"Really?" Weiss and Blake deadpanned.
"Yep! He was so funny and hammy when he speaks!" Ruby answered as she laughed.
Blake and Weiss just showed a blank expression at what they heard.
"What have the creator's been smoking…?" Weiss muttered but continued to watch the show.
Zordon appears as he announces the rangers that they need another member to help them fight evil.
Zordon: I present to you the White Ranger.
A light shines as a silhouette slowly floats down to the floor. Standing there is a young man in a white, tight suit with golden bracelets on the arms and legs, a black armored chestplate with golden shoulder guards, and an awesome looking helmet.
"That's one awesome looking ranger!" Yang commented and Ruby was also fangirling on the awesome design of the suit.
"I wonder what he may be piloting if he's a Power Ranger." Blake commented.
White Ranger: Tigerzord!
(Cues MMPR — Go Green Ranger Go! (Instrumental))
The Zord turns out to be some massive mech that resembles a big cat that's colored black and white with bits of red, a golden tail that is shaped like a blade, and red eyes to boot. It lets out a mighty roar as it thunders across the battlefield with its pilot on board.
Ruby and Yang were both having stars in their eyes as their younger childhood memories were resurfacing of seeing giant mechs fighting and being badass.
"That is so AWESOME!" Both the sisters shouted.
"Ho boy. I can't help but feel that these two are gonna be screaming at everything in this episode." Weiss muttered.
"Tell me about it." Blake agreed but she was already interested in the Tigerzord since it resembles a cat.
White Ranger/Tigerzord
BACKGROUND
The 6th Thunderzord
Height: 152 ft / 46.5 m
Weight: 150 tons / 136 metric tons
Power: 75,000 Megavolts
Pilot: Tommy Oliver
Power Source: Morphing Grid
Boomstick: The White Tigerzord is a gigantic, weaponized robo-kitty.
And what's more than awesome than that?!" Yang shouted.
Boomstick: While cats are clearly inferior to dogs…
"HEY!" Blake shouted with a scowl on her face at hearing that. Zwei barked in a response as if he agrees with Boomstick which caused Blake to turn her head and glare at Zwei with an expression that says "you just did not say that!"
Yang and Ruby bursted into laughter at Blake's reaction to this.
"Boy, is something wrong, kitty-cat?" Yang teased.
"Nothing…." Blake muttered. "I'm fine."
Zwei barks happily again.
Boomstick: … I might make an exception for this one and take it home.
"I would so own that mech for myself and destroying Grimm with that baby!" Ruby grinned like a kid in a candy store.
Wiz: Well, considering, after it transforms to Warrior Mode, the Tigerzord weighs 150 tons and stands nearly 15 stories tall, I don't think you'll find one in a pet shop window.
The Tigerzord also turns into a bipedal, warrior mode as the tiger head is located on the chest, the limbs form into humanoid arms and legs, and the head appears on top as it wields its tail blade in its own hand as a sword.
"That's even more awesome!" The sisters shouted again that this zord can go humanoid, just like the mechs in their show.
Boomstick: And it's a transformer? Awesome!
(Cues Power Rangers — Hope for the World)
Now they see the White Ranger kicking ass while awesome music is playing.
Wiz: The White Tigerzord is powered the, quote, "White Light of goodness", as its pilot, the heroic leader of the team, Tommy Oliver, the White Ranger.
Tommy was quite in fact handsome when his helmet is removed which caused the girls to slightly blush but got over it quickly. Then they see him kicking more ass as he defies gravity while kicking his enemy.
"Man! Tommy is a badass that I can look up to!" Yang commented.
"I wonder about his origin, though." Blake wondered.
"He is kinda cute…." Weiss muttered that her teammates couldn't hear but they did and giggled.
"Quiet you!" Weiss snapped.
TOMMY OLIVER
White Mighty Morphin Morphin' Power Ranger
Height: 5'11" / 1.8 m
Weight: 214 lbs / 97 kg
Weapon: Saba
-Length: 20 in / 97 kg
-Sentient Sabre
-Can fire lasers & fly independently
Martial arts: Karate, Kenpo, Taekwondo, Judo, Shinkido
Has had 5 different Ranger powers
Boomstick: He wasn't always in charge, though. His original powers came from the screeching, migraine-ridden she-witch, Rita.
That surprised RWBY a bit that his original powers came from the evil Rita and even stated he made a deal with her. His original suit is green and a bit more reptilian but it had another secret.
Boomstick: Naturally, it was a trick and those powers came package with a curse that turned him evil.
"The most ironic thing when you are a hero is that you get fooled by the villain and become their minion in battle." Blake said.
"Yeah. I've seen a lot of heroes get tricked and brainwashed by the bad guys and attacking your own allies." Ruby also said.
Wiz: Luckily, Rita doesn't logic much. So, the Rangers reversed the spell by destroying a completely unrelated object.
"Most curses should be within the person himself, but objects are not unheard of as many legendary items and artifacts can also contain curses while the person is brainwashed." Blake stated.
"Still. They managed to stop Rita and saved Tommy to be the good guy." Ruby answered with a smile.
"Agreed." Weiss said.
Now they see an awesome looking saber that has the head of a tiger at the end of the hilt.
Boomstick: Tommy wields Saba, a talking saber that shoots lasers and remote controls the Tigerzord.
"A talking weapon?! That's so cool!" Ruby Squeed. "I want Crescent Rose to talk too!"
Weiss showed an expression of dread at what her partner just said.
"Just imagine how cool Crescent Rose would be when speaking!"
(Ruby's thought cloud)
"Alright!" Ruby announced as Grimm surrounded her as they prepare to maul her to death. "Time to show us our bond and friendship, Crescent Rose!" She unfolds her scythe and she cockes the rifle part as Ruby gets ready to slay some Grimm.
"You got that right!" Crescent Rose shouted in mixes of bloodlust and joy, all in a excited tone with bits of robotic static in it.. "Time to show these boneheads who is boss!"
Ruby charges in and starts slashing all the Grimm left and right while Crescent Rose shouts every word he can think of that relates to killing Grimm.
"Swish! Slash! Cut! Slice n Dice! Uppercut! Tornado! Decapitation! Bisecting! Blending! GET REKT"
Now Ruby begins shooting.
"Bang! Bang! Blam! Pow! Pwing! Blooey! Zwing! Bang! Bang! BOOM HEADSHOT!"
After all the Grimm were slayed, Ruby gives off a smile and hugs her scythe.
"That was awesome, Crescent Rose! You are the best talking weapon there is!" Ruby said in joy.
"You are the best scythe wielder, Ruby!" Crescent Rose responded. "We will always be bestest friends between human and weapon!"
(Back to RWBY)
"For a second there, that doesn't sound too bad to have a weapon that talks to you." Weiss admitted.
"Yeah!" Yang agreed. "Just imagine how my Ember Celica could say when in combat!"
(Yang's thought spot)
Yang is surrounded by Grimm and White Fang grunts as she activates Ember Celica with a grin.
"You ready?" Yang said to her favorite weapon.
"Oh yes." Ember said as he also sounds cocky and eager to fight. "It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum… and I'm all out of bubblegum."
Yang jumps into action and beats the crap out of
"Punch! Punch! Jab! Uppercut! Hook! Hook! Haymaker! Slap! Slap! Elbow Strike! Shotgun Strike! Right in the dick! FALCON PUNCH!" Ember Celica screamed at the top of his lungs while Yang beat the crap out Grimm and White Fang mooks.
Yang smile with a job well done.
"We sure taught them a lesson." Yang cheered to her favorite weapon.
"Oh yeah!" Ember agreed. "I felt pumped through the whole fight and I loved how you emptied me in the middle of it!"
Blake had her thoughts how Gambol Shroud may sound.
(Blake's thought spot)
Blake is facing off against Adam and she had enough of being with him for abusing her and making the White Fang look like a disgrace to the faunus when it was originally supposed to be fighting for equality in a peaceful manner, not a violent organization for revenge.
"It's time to end this tyranny. We shall fight together." Blake told her weapon.
"Yes." Gambol Shroud agreed. "We shall fight together as one and end Adam's way of the White Fang and bring the original way of the White Fang."
Blake faces Adam and fights with all her might. Unlike the other two weapons, Gambol doesn't scream at the top of his lungs and calls out his attacks in a calm manner.
"Slash. Slash. Block. Block. Parry. Uppercut. Down Strike. Dual Wield. Bang. Bang. Bang. Criss Cross Slash. Twirl. Block, Block. Kusarigama Mode. Slash." Gambol Shroud shouted as Blake was finally being able to beat the crap out of Adam who was being thrown around like a ragdoll. Adam lay defeated with Blake placing her foot on his chest and poses in victory.
"Well done, Gambol Shroud." Blake said with a smile.
"It is my honor to be your weapon for justice." Gambol Shroud said happily to his owner.
(Weiss' thoughts)
Weiss held Myrtenaster with grace as she faces off against another huntress who also wields a rapier with a different design and looks not as elegant but still formidable in a fight.
"It's time to show our practice and skill we did together, Myrtenaster." Weiss announced to her favorite weapon.
"Of course, miss Schnee." The rapier responded in a polite and gentlemanly tone of a young man that Weiss daydreams of hearing a lot. "We shall show them what our connection can really do together."
Weiss fights the opposing opponent who also fights in a similar style as both rapier wielders fought in a fencing styled fight. Like Gambol Shroud, Myrtenaster also spoke in a calm tone while Weiss did all the fighting.
"Stab. Slash. Stab. Slash. Block. Parry. Jab. Jab. Uppercut. Block. Rush forward. Red Dust setting. Enhanced parry. Blue Dust Setting. Ice Wave. White Setting. Final Flash!" The rapier said as Weiss finished off her opponent.
Weiss smiled that she won the duel and looked at her weapon with pride.
"You did so well, my rapier. I will never abandon you." Weiss told her weapon of choice.
"Was there any doubt, mistress?" The rapier asked politely. "I was designed and meant for you since you are the heiress."
(Back to the real world)
All the girls smiled as they can imagine their weapons could talk to them. They do treat their weapons with proper care and treatment as if they are part of themselves.
"It would be cool if weapons could indeed talk." Blake agreed.
Back to the show.
They watch Saba control the Tigerzord as it leaps towards a cliff but it slips and falls onto it's back with a loud crash.
"Epic fail!" Ruby laughed.
"Huh. I thought cats always landed on their feet." Yang joked as she stared at Blake who made a blank stare.
"What? I see you land on your feet." Yang reasoned.
"Doesn't mean a faunus cat could all the time, but I agree I'm good at landing on my feet most of the time." Blake answered back.
White Ranger: *at Saba* Hey! I thought you knew what you were doing!
Saba: *Annoyed* I do!
White Ranger: Yeah, you sure could've fooled me!
RWBY was chuckling at these two bickering with each other.
"Almost like Weiss and Ruby when they don't agree!" Yang laughed.
"Hey!" Both Ruby and Weiss shouted.
Wiz: And is also uniquely multi-lingual.
Saba: That's right. None of you speaks bird. Now take me over to the cages. Uh… squawk squawk, tweet, squawk, tweet.
RWBY remained silent as they were dumbfounded.
Boomstick: Everyone that just watched that is now dumber… our bad.
"Hey Blake. Do you think you can also speak to cats?" Yang asked.
"Wait… that part did make us feel dumber." Blake answered and dope slapped Yang in the back of her head.
"Ow!" Yang shouted.
On with the arsenal.
(Cues Power Rangers: Dino Thunder — Main Theme (Insturmental))
ARSENAL
Golden Tiger Sword (Which Ruby so loves)
White Tiger Thunderbolts
Sonic Roar
Hyperspeed (Ruby also loves that one)
Shoulder Charge (Yang likes it)
Pilot mimicry
Wiz: In battle, the Tigerzord's tail doubles as a golden tiger sword.
Boomstick: Which can light itself on fire!
"Just like Kratos' Blades of Exile." Blake pointed out.
"Wish Crescent Rose could catch on fire too!" Ruby squeed.
Boomstick: I assume by sparking a robo-fart of some sort. See Wiz? I can science too.
RBY was all chuckling while Weiss facepalmed.
"A fart is not the best way to create a flame…." Weiss muttered how dumb Boomstick brought a fact like this up.
"Still funny!" Yang laughed.
Boomstick: Anyway, the Tigerzord knocks foes off their feet with sonic blasts, temporarily increases its agility with Hyperspeed, and shoots fireballs from its... chest-mouth thing.
Ruby had star eyes at the mention of the sonic blasts, speed increase and even prepares to watch what the White Ranger does next.
White Ranger: White Tiger Thunderbolt armed and ready!
The tiger mouth on the chest of the mech glows bright red and fires a volley of fireballs at the enemy.
"So awesome!" Ruby and Yang shouted.
Wiz: The Tigerzord's greatest asset, however, is its ability to mimic the movement of its pilot.
(Cues Power Rangers — Combat (Instrumental))
"That's interesting." Weiss stated. "Atlas also used movement based tech for robots to fight until they were programmed enough to use it on their own."
They watch the Tigerzord kick ass and send the giant monster flying and crashing into the ground.
"Wish I could ride a mech and it can copy my movements." Yang announced with a grin.
(Cues MMPR — White Ranger Tiger Power)
Wiz: So it's important to determine how superhuman the White Ranger is, but he doesn't have many measurable feats.
"Yeah. It's hard to determine measurable feats of fictional characters if they don't show enough or aren't consistent enough either." Blake agreed.
"Especially in video games where video game mechanics, and gameplay story segregation are another thing." Blake agreed.
Wiz: Fortunately, all Ranger powers derive from the same Morphing Grid; a galaxy spanning energy field which balances all life.
RWBY got interested and kept listening.
Boomstick: So…. the Force.
Wiz: Yeah, pretty much.
"It does indeed sound similar to the force since both balance all life across the cosmos." Yang said.
"I even wonder similar energy fields exist in all universes, including our own." Blake said.
Wiz: This means all rangers have comparable powers that we can use to measure Tommy's potential.
Boomstick: SPD Green Ranger, Bridge Carson, once lifted and threw a two ton car at this poor girl.
"Wait. Why would he throw a car at a girl?" Ruby questioned. "Is he crazy or something?"
Boomstick: Who he guessed was a demon. Luckily, he was right and the PR catastrophe was avoided.
"Oh…." Ruby answered.
Wiz: The average man can squat lift about 125 lbs.
"Most adult huntsmen and huntresses can lift much more without much effort." Blake said.
"Lifting that 300 pound stereo wasn't that hard for me." Yang boasted. "And I did sent that car flying too during the Grimm invasion a little while back."
Wiz: So this feat makes Power Rangers at least 32 times stronger.
"That's pretty much the same amount for higher ranked huntsman." Weiss also said.
Saba: That was most impressive!
Wiz: And we know Rangers also receive a speed boost. So it's reasonable to believe that a Morph Ranger's reaction speed is in the ballpark of 32 times faster than the average person. Thus, the White Ranger can actually react to attacks in about 6 milliseconds. To compare, a bullet fired from a gun would travel about nine feet.
"That's about around our speed too." Blake stated. "Some huntsman can also dodge bullets at near point blank ranges."
Wiz: As the Tigerzord mimics the White Ranger in real time, it must be capable of the same speed.
"Then that's a very fast mech in terms of agility and striking speed if that's true!" Ruby said with a grin on her face.
Boomstick: I bet he could totally do that knife finger, stabby game.
RWBY watches the game that Boomstick mentioned. Ruby was confused but WBY has seen this kind of game before.
"Wait. Why would people play that kind of game? It looks dangerous." Ruby said with a slight frown.
"Some people do it for bets and even for the thrill and adrenaline of it, Ruby." Yang answered to her sister.
"But still! It doesn't look fun to me!" Ruby answered back.
"That's just how it is." Blake said.
Boomstick: Actually, uh, Wiz, put your hand on the table.
Wiz: No! Not after last time! That poor intern.
"Sounds like they did play that game and someone got their hand poked." Yang said.
Boomstick: I told him not to move.
"That doesn't help much." Weiss deadpanned.
Wiz: Anyway, like that intern, the Tigerzord can't always cut it on its own.
(Cues MMPR — Zords (Insturmental))
Boomstick: When that happens, Tommy's friends usually come in to save his ass.
"Yeah. There are times you can't fight everything on your own and need your friends when necessary." Ruby agreed.
Boomstick: But, even though, they won't be able to help him today, Tommy can still call upon his secret weapon.
I'm so excited what it's gonna be!" Ruby said with a big grin and leaning forward to see what the White Ranger's secret weapon is.
"I agree with what Wiz said." Weiss said. "Because Death Battle doesn't allow outside help.
Wiz: Each Power Ranger has his or her individual Zord which only they can pilot.
"And I am digging the design of the Zords themselves." Yang said impressed. "I bet it would be cool if we got our own Zords."
"Yang! That's one of the most awesomest ideas you said since you came up with the idea of making brownie cookies!" Ruby shouted with bright stars in her eyes at the mere thought of Team RWBY having their own Zords to own and do cool stuff with them.
Weiss and Blake were a bit startled by Ruby's shouting.
"Ruby! We are right here!" Weiss said annoyed with her ears ringing.
"Oh. Sorry!" Ruby said.
Wiz: However, there have been numerous instances where a Ranger has called upon other Zords.
"So he's basically controlling the other Zords that each Ranger would control individually." Weiss said.
Wiz: So Tommy can call upon the Lion, Griffin, Unicorn, and Phoenix Thunderzords to create the Mega Tigerzord.
They watch all the Zords combine with the Tigerzord to become a massive mech that's even bigger, stronger, and more awesome than before.
Ruby was foaming at the mouth of this awesome looking mech before her.
MEGA TIGERZORD
Height: 207 ft / 63 m (about as tall as full grown Goliath)
Weight: 336 tons / 305 metric tons
Energy Ball
Energy Shield
Bladed buckler
Phoenix Strike [Finishing Move]
More powerful than the Thunder Megazord
Boomstick: The Mega Tigerzord is a massive monster of a mech.
"Don't need to remind us! Just look how big that thing is!" Weiss shouted in shock and awe at the mech while Ruby was really going crazy a bit.
Boomstick: It's got an energy shield, an energy ball attack, and a wicked drop kick.
"I dig the drop kick!" Yang shouted. "Mechs doing awesome techniques is just as awesome as the energy attacks they carry!"
Boomstick: Oh, and it's finishing move is literally lighting a giant, robo-bird on fire and shooting it through everyone in it's path.
Boomstick ain't joking. They literally see the Mega Tigerzord set the Phoenix Zord on fire as it zooms ahead and flies like a flaming missile.
"That's even more awesome!" Ruby and Yang shouted at once.
"Seems like Ruby and Yang found their inner childhood." Blake said.
"I can see that." Weiss answered back. "But I admit that's pretty cool seeing them use a zord as a projectile in battle."
Boomstick: Obviously, the Mega Tigerzord has never lost a match.
STRENGTHS AND FEATS
Beat Nimrod when Megazord failed
Defeated Cannontop singlehandedly
Stronger than Thunder Megazord
Survived deflected Phoenix Strike
Can lift over 1500 tons
Tommy beat Pursehead one-on-one
Tommy defeated 4 monsters at once (a casual feat for most academy students against the grimm)
Tommy defeated Goldar in several duels
Wiz: The Mega Tigerzord is so powerful, it's even that finisher move reflected back at it, survived, and all it did was fall over and looked surprised.
"Just exactly how tough is this mech?!" Weiss said shocked.
Boomstick: But it's not all firebirds and rainbows.
WEAKNESSES
Defeated by Dragonzord on one shot
No backup power supply
Not very agile (unless Hyperspeed is used)
Destroyed by Rito Revolto
Tommy's stubborn honor can sometimes lead to mistakes
Boomstick: Enough damage can overload the Tigerzord's connection to the Morphing Grid and annihilate it.
"Yeah. Even the most awesome mech isn't invincible." Ruby admitted since she's seen lots of badass mechs in the shows she watched get damaged and even destroyed.
"But seeing mechs destroy each other is just as fun!" Yang added.
Boomstick: But don't get me wrong. This is one ass kicking, mighty morphin, fire birding, flame swording, power kitty….. Meow.
White Ranger: Saba, are you ready, pal?
Saba: White Ranger, I'm ready when you are!
White Ranger: Alright! Tigerzord, power up!
Tigerzord roars and is ready to battle with the awesome music playing in the background.
After that, RWBY was astounded at how epic and interesting the White Ranger and his Tigerzord really is. Ruby and Yang just love every single feature of the Tigerzord and its ability to form with other Zords. Weiss and Blake are more interested with Tommy and the White Ranger himself with his backstory and his talking saber.
Ruby even has an idea.
"You know what? Me and Yang used to imagine ourselves as the rangers on our show and our own Zords to pilot." Ruby said with a big grin.
"Oh yeah!" Yang agreed. "That was so fun!"
"And since we have Blake and Weiss here, I'm gonna announce what our Zords will be!" Ruby said. "Yang has the Yellow Dragon Zord and I have the Red and Black Wolf Zord! Blake gets the Purple and Black Panther Zord and Weiss has the Arctic White Fox Zord!"
In Ruby's head is team RWBY dressed as the Rangers she watched as a kid but she is wearing Red with black, Weiss as white with blue, Blake as black with purple, and Yang as yellow.
"But wait. We are missing a fifth Zord." Blake pointed out. "How could we combine when there's one missing?" Now Blake understands some knowledge about the Rangers and their Zords along with some knowledge of the show that exists in Remnant and is similar to the Power Ranger.
"That's easy." Yang answered. "We also had uncle Qrow as a Ranger too when he played with us."
"And his Zord was a crow that is a jet!" Ruby fangirled.
"Oh. That makes sense." Weiss said as she remembered that Ruby has told her a lot about her uncle so Weiss can see that it does make sense.
After all the epic discussions of Ruby's version of the Power Rangers, they all decide to move on.
On with the next combatant.
Wiz: In the year 195 A.C. Yes, A.C, Earth and its space colonies were on the brink of civil war.
RWBY got interested and it even felt familiar at hearing what Wizard just said.
"Sounds almost like Remnant's history of war." Blake said at that mention.
"True. Remnant's four kingdoms also went to war with each other." Weiss also said. "Only difference is that there aren't any space colonies and any yet to be made."
Wiz: Chaos had erupted, governments shattered from within.
"Yeah. That shows how brutal war can really be." Ruby admitted.
Wiz: The only constant were five, freedom fighting, mobile suits, called Gundams.
(Cues Gundam Wing — Just Communication (Instrumental))
The Gundams, like the Zords, are mechs that are piloted by humans. But these mechs are more humanoid and Ruby is drooling at the mouth again of these awesome looking mechs before her.
Boomstick: Piloted by a bunch of kids who have no idea how to have fun.
"They almost sounds like the teenagers that pilot the Zords." Yang joked.
Boomstick: Seriously, get laid or something!
"Sorry. But we are too young and focused on fighting monsters and enemies to even care about sleeping with anyone." Yang joked and laughed as they all started eating their snacks and Ruby even eating her cookies.
"Why would they need to get laid? They are a group of teenagers who are focusing on saving the world from the chaos of war." Weiss pointed out.
"Even so, people still have fun in those kinds of events." Ruby also said to her partner. "We still play video games, play games, and even do stuff together, even when we are slaying Grimm."
"That's true." Blake answered.
"Alright. You do have a point." Weiss admitted as they watched the show again.
Wiz: Intrigued, the disgraced commander Trieze Khushrenada set about creating his own Gundam.
Boomstick: For sex?
RWBY nearly choked on their snacks at hearing that and Yang shortly started to laugh.
Weiss and Blake facepalmed at Boomstick's idiotic random question.
Wiz: No. For Zechs.
Boomstick: This is really getting really confusing.
Yang laughed even harder.
Wiz: Try and keep up.
"Yeah. I think you should." Weiss muttered.
Wiz: Trieze hoped this new non-sexual fighting machine would finally answer the meaning of life and death.
Boomstick: And birth!
Wiz and Weiss: NO!
Yang was rolling across the couch in laughter.
"This show can't give you enough, can it?" Ruby deadpanned to her sister.
Trieze heads over to a large bookcase withing a huge library and pulls out a specific book with some kind of card in it.
Trieze: I have a guide here that will show you how to live from now on.
(Cues Gundam Wing — Legend Zero)
The walls open up and reveal something inside; a massive humanoid mech in thick red, metallic armor, green visors, and with large wing thrusters on its back. It also wields a sharp looking whip attached to its arm.
Again, just like with the Tigerzord, Ruby was drooling at the mouth of such an epic looking mech that she ever came across. Even Yang was salivating too of how awesome that giant robot looks.
Wiz: And so, the Gundams, Epyon, was born.
Heero Yui: Do you think you built a god or something
Trieze: Maybe I do.
Boomstick: Epyon is a fierce force of metal and badassery.
"You got that right!" Yang agreed.
Boomstick: Like all Gundams, it's armored with… Gundanium.
Wiz: Yet another stupidly-named fictional metal that happens to be many times stronger and lighter than Titanium.
"What's wrong with that?" Ruby questioned. "Hard fictional metals are awesome!"
BACKGROUND
The 6th original Gundam [Wing]
ID: OS-13MS Gundam Epyon
Height: 57 ft / 17.4 m (quite smaller than most mechs in fiction)
Weight: 9.4 tons / 8.5 metric tons
Max Propulsion: 194,337 lbs / 88,150 kg
Pilot: Zechs Merquise
Armor: Gundanium alloy
Powerplant: Ultracompact Fusion
Boomstick: Standing 57 feet tall and weighing just under 10 tons, Epyon is actually quite a bit smaller than your average japanese giant robot.
"Compared to the Tigerzord and especially the Mega Tigerzord's size, that's actually quite true for Epyon being the dwarf here." Blake said.
Wiz: But for what it lacks in size, Epyon compensates with incredible speed.
"And it can fly too!" Ruby and Yang shouted.
Wiz: With a max propulsion of nearly 200,000 pounds, Epyon can fly over 250 miles per hour.
"That's slower than most jets cruising at mach 2 but that's impressive speed for a mech." Weiss commented.
Boomstick: But manning a Gundam at that speed is rough and can kill a pilot who hasn't been trained.
"True. All those G-forces in the aircraft of Atlas are no easy to handle with their intense speed." Weiss said.
Wiz: Epyon's pilot is the legendary warrior and trieze's closest friend, Zechs Merquise, the Lightning Count.
Zechs is a young, handsome man with blond blonde-white hair and a military uniform similar to Ironwood's but colored red. He also wears a gray helmet that covers his upper face and white ee visors on them.
ZECHS MERQUISE
Code names: Lightning Count, Wind
Age: 20
Height: 6'1" / 184 cm (Same height as Jaune)
Weight: 168 lbs / 76 kg
True identity: Milliardo Peacecraft
Valedictorian of Lake Victoria Military Academy
Ranks: OZ Colonel, Romefeller Count, White Fang Commander in chief (Blake got confused at that latter rank)
Wiz: Commander of OZ special forces, valedictorian of a prestigious military academy, and sole pilot of the unstable Gundam prototype.
"That's a lot of titles for someone like him in a military!" Weiss said in shock. It's true that there's only a small number of soldiers in the Atlas military to have a lot of titles of their ranks and stats.
Boomstick: How does the Wizard of Oz comes in to this now? Anime seriously confuses me.
"Yeah. Some media from other regions can be confusing to some." Blake said as she remembered seeing some shows from different regions of Remnant."
Boomstick: Well, regardless, is a true warrior.
Zechs: I am a true soldier.
Boomstick: Oh, look, an echo!
RWBY all chuckled.
(Cues Gundam Wing — Trieze Kushrenada/The Man Who Makes History)
Wiz: Despite this, he could not handle the politics of war. After Trieze staged a coup which spiraled out of control, Zechs stumbled through the ensuing chaos like a lost pup, always ending up fighting for the wrong cause by complete accident. Whoops.
RWBY was shocked that Trieze would do such a thing and now don't like him one bit, especially with Zechs stuck in the middle and ending up fighting for the wrong side. Blake can now see how relatable she is to the soldier. Like Zechs, Blake ended up with the White Fang and she thought she was fighting for equality but ended up being some kind of pawn doing the hardcore action on the humans and Blake realized this isn't what she wanted and abandoned her abusive ex-boyfriend and the group itself. Even now, she still has regrets.
Zechs: *Frustrated* I don't understand! Why am I still so… spineless?
"I know how that feels…." Blake mumbled as RWY noticed and gave her a hug to make her feel better.
Boomstick: *Imitating Zechs* "Oh, I have an awesome giant Gundam that everyone needs to do awesome stuff! Poor me!"
"Shut up, Boomstick!" Weiss and Yang shouted.
Wiz: But plot twists! Zechs has been hiding a secret identity.
RWBY now calmed down and wondered what's Zech's mysterious background since he is an interesting character.
Wiz: He is, in fact, Milliardo Peacecraft; the long lost heir to the throne of the pacifist Saint Kingdom. Yes, the Peacecrafts literally craft peace.
Weiss really found that kind of secret interesting since she's the heiress to her father's company and Zechs is a heir to his kingdom.
"I wonder what happened to him that got lost from the heir to his kingdom." Weiss wondered.
"We may never know, unless they say more about it.
Boomstick: At first, the only one who knew Zech's true identity was his slap happy admirer, Noin.
Noin is a beautiful young woman with black hair and she's Zech's commander/advisor.
Boomstick: You think a cheerful girlfriend who doesn't have blood on her hands would help Zechs lighten up a bit…. Buuuuuut.
Zechs: Don't go getting too attached, or parting will hurt.
Hearing that line from Zechs made Blake cringe a bit since she had to part with Adam whom she now hates.
Noin: But my soldiers aren't ever going to be killed in battle.
"Uh…. I can't help but feel like it's gonna go very wrong." Ruby said.
EXACTLY 1 MINUTE, 10 SECONDS LATER….
The entire building that housed all of Noin's loyal soldiers exploded and many painful screams and deaths has followed.
"You just had to say it…" Weiss muttered to her partner as the screams of the soldiers were painful for RWBY to hear.
Boomstick: Damn…. He won't be hitting that for a while.
"Not after what just happened in a tragic way." Blake said.
Wiz: Despite being a backstabbing, coup-staging, terrorist, Trieze Kushrenada apparently has some high sense of honor.
"Still not enough to make up for what he is." Ruby stated with a frown.
"Yeah. It's too late to reconsider." Yang agreed.
Wiz: And this is reflected in Epyon's arsenal.
"Yes! Now we get to see the weaponry!" Ruby shouted.
Boomstick: Aside from two tiny vulcan guns, Epyon was designed as a dueling suit and lacks effective long range weaponry. But that's okay, cause check out this sword!
RWBY gazes upon Epyon wielding a bright green blade made of energy.
Ruby eyes are filled with stars yet again as she and her team watch Epyon fly around and slicing other Gundams in halves with that awesome looking.
"YES! That's an awesome sword I want to wield! MUST! PILOT! EPYON!" Ruby shouted at the top of her lungs that she so wants to ride that awesome mech and destroy other mechs with it.
"Easy there, Ruby!" Yang said as she tried to calm her sister down. "You are already foaming at the mouth!"
"Ruby just can't seem to stop enjoying so many weapons." Blake commented.
"Agreed." Weiss said. "Ruby is such a nut for weapons."
After Ruby calmed down, they continued on but Ruby is still excited to see more.
ARSENAL
Beam Sword (Ruby's favorite)
Epyon Claws
Epyon Shield
Heat Rod (Blake seems to like)
Vulcan Guns
Search Eye
Epyon System
-Modified ZERO System
-Predicts outcomes in mid-battle
-Potentially harmful to pilot
-Can cause hallucinations
Boomstick: The Beam Sword is connected directly to Epyon's power source, which means its size and power can be increased on the fly.
Epyon could even lengthen the sword's length to rival its own height.
"That's so cool!" Both Ruby and Yang cheered.
"That's unique." Weiss admitted. "Having a blade made of energy and even manipulating its length and thickness."
Boomstick: Epyon also has a durable shield which houses a chain whip, called the Heat Rod, that can be superheated to slice through armor.
(Cues Gundam Wing — Zechs Comes)
While Ruby and Yang fangirled at that one, Blake was also interested in the Heat Rod since it's a weapon that works similar to Gambol Shroud in Kusarigama mode.
Wiz: But it's greatest and most risky weapon is its on board computer, the Epyon System; a modified Zoning & Emotional Ranged Omitted System.
Now RWBY takes interest and wonders what makes this computer system so special for Epyon.
Wiz: This directly links to the pilot's brain and aids him by constantly predicting outcomes and strategies in mid-battle.
"Now that's an interesting computer system that could be useful in mechs, including Paladins." Weiss said. "Atlas did try making a computer system that links with the human brain but it was put on hold since…. one subject who was willing to test it went into a coma after it strained his brain."
"Yikes." Yang said. "That's pretty scary and to see this working in a mech like Epyon."
Wiz: And, unlike other Zero Systems, this modified version shows Zechs' opponent's face as he's murdering them.
That made RWBY feel very disturbed that the system would even make the pilot see his victims face as he ends their lives.
"Geez. Is it necessary to see your enemies' face right before killing them?" Ruby said in slight horror.
Boomstick: Oh, that's right, for the nightmares.
"And that too." Weiss also said. "Whoever added that feature must be insane."
Wiz: It gets worse. The Epyon System relies on Zechs ignoring all distractions, including his own drive to win. It predicts every possible outcome of the battle at hand and shares them with him.
"Interesting ability to see outcomes before they happen." Blake said with interest. "Sounds useful to help you give a prediction of how the fight will turn out."
Wiz: These include the outcomes where he loses which takes the forms of hallucinations. If Zechs can't separate fact from fiction, these hallucinations may become reality.
"Okay. I would love to pilot the Epyon but I'm now having second thoughts." Ruby said with a nervous grin and rubbing the back of her head.
Boomstick: But, despite the danger, it's totally worth getting into Epyon's pilot seat.
"Then again, it's still worth it to give it a try at least." Yang grinned.
Boomstick: 'Cause this giant robot is a born winner.
STRENTGH & FEATS
Held off 4 Gundams at once
Destroyed Barge
Undetectable by most scanners
Survived explosion of Libra station
Gundanium armor is several times stronger than Titanium
Zechs defeated Colony 191 in under 1 minute
Boomstick: It's capable of holding off 4 Gundams at once, survived the heart of an exploding space station, and destroyed another giant space station with a single. Awesome. Sword slice.
Epyon easily sliced the whole giant space station with one slash from the Beam Sword. Ruby and Yang were fangirling at that epic feat while Weiss and Blake had wide eyes of hearing that.
Boomstick: Haha! Gundam powers, away!
"So awesome!" Ruby and Yang shouted.
WEAKNESSES
Lost duel against Gundam Wing Zero
No powerful ranged weapons
Susceptible to beam cannons
Physically & mentally dangerous to pilot
Epyon system can cause hallucinations & loss of control
Zech's obsession over Lucrezia Noin
Wiz: Of course, Epyon does have its fair share of weaknesses. And, even though, Zechs naturally overcame his turn to the dark sided, nearly sacrificing his life for the greater good in the process, he never did become that perfect soldier he always wanted to be.
"Well. At least he's trying and he's already impressive enough to begin with." Blake stated.
"Yeah." Ruby agreed. "We aren't a perfect team but still formidable and powerful when we work together just right."
Boomstick: But good news. He did eventually get in Noin's pants…. Worth it!
"At least he's happy with the woman he loves." Weiss said while trying to brush off Boomstick's last joke at the end.
Zechs: Just watch me, I'm gonna live, right to the better end! I'll live the hard life of a warrior!
After that, RWBY also takes a huge liking to Zechs and Epyon. Ruby and Yang are being huge fans on the Epyon and its Beam Sword. Weiss and Blake were a bit more interested in Zechs being a warrior and also being a missing heir to the throne of the Peacecrafts.
RWBY was now ready for the battle.
"This is gonna be awesome! Mech fight!" Both Yang and Ruby shouted word for word. They've enjoyed mech fights and are now gonna
Wiz: Alright. The combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle robo-style!
The setting takes place somewhere out in the middle of a wide open tundra with no trees and many rock formations and mountains in the background. RWBY then hears the sound of mechanical whirring and the large stomping steps of something big.
It's the Tigerzord in it's warrior mode and the White Ranger, with Saba, is standing on its shoulder.
White Ranger: Alright, Saba, time for a weekly test run.
"So Tommy is out practicing and testing his arsenal to see if anything is going well." Yang said.
"That's a smart idea since we also test our weapons to make sure they are functioning properly and no malfunctions." Blake also said.
Saba: Excellent. Let's test the weapons system.
Right after Saba said that, RWBY heard a high pitched sound as if a weapon is about to be fired.
"I don't like the sound of that." Ruby said.
White Ranger: Just make sure the safety systems are on-
A missile fires out of the chest which even caused the Tigerzord to fall on its rear due to being unprepared for the weapon being fired.
Saba:... Safety systems activated.
"Too late." Weiss answered sarcastically.
They see the missile is still rocketing out into the horizon.
Saba: Um…. That will probably dissipate… right?
"You just jinxed it!" Yang hollered.
Meanwhile, from a longer distance away, Zechs is just standing there and sighs that sounds like boredom.
"Wonder what Zechs is doing out here." Ruby wondered. "And where's his Epyon?"
Shortly after, a flying Gundam is flying nearby and it turns out to be Noin.
Noin: Zechs, what are you doing down there?
Zechs: Hmph. Hello Noin. Just brooding around how I nearly destroyed the Earth.
"Boy. Zechs is being pretty edgy right now." Yang commented.
"Well. Many people have their regrets in nearly wiping out a planet with millions to billions of lives." Blake stated.
Noin: That again? You gotta lighten up, you grump.
Zechs: *Sighs*
Noin: Well. How about we do that thing you are always asking about? You know, the one that rhymes with your name?
"Don't tell me." Weiss mumbled.
"What's she asking him?" Ruby wondered in confusion.
"You're a little too young to know that just yet." Blake told Ruby.
Zechs: What? Really?
Noin: Of course! I think it's finally time~
But right as she said that, the missile from the Tigerzord made a direct hit on Noin as she screams in horror and the Gundam explodes into pieces, killing Noin.
RWBY watched in complete horror and sadness as Zech's girlfriend perished right before his eyes.
Zechs: Noin! NOOO!
"No! Not Noin!" Ruby said in sadness.
The other girls cringed at Zechs scream of anguish for seeing his beloved dead.
"I know that was a mistake from Tommy, but it's still kinda his fault." Blake stated.
"Yeah." Yang agreed. "It even feels like it would be worse if he realized he accidentally killed someone."
Back at the Tigerzord, the missile appears to be gone.
Saba: ...Eventually.
White Ranger: Heh. I think I'll drive. *Jumps into the cockpit*
The scene now shows Zechs among the remains of Noin's Gundam… completely silent.
"I bet Zechs is beyond angry and wants to avenge Noin." Weiss said.
Zechs pushes a button and Epyon appears right behind him with its eyes glowing green.
"Yep. Zechs is gonna avenge her." Ruby confirmed.
Back to Tommy, the Tigerzord is stomping across the terrain until Saba sensed something.
Saba: Warning! Bogey approaches fast! 200 meters!
White Ranger: It must be one of Zett's.
"Nope. This isn't a mere mook that he will be fighting." Yang said.
Saba: 0 meters!
White Ranger: Huh?!
Epyon slams into the back of the Tigerzord which staggers it forward a little and then back off a good distance and ready to fight.
Zechs: I'LL BREAK YOUR FAAACE!
RWBY was slightly caught off guard by Zechs' boiling rage since he found the one who (unintentionally) killed his girlfriend.
"Woah…. Zechs is very pissed." Yang muttered.
"For good reasons." Ruby also said sadly.
"Well. Either way, let's see who will win the fight." Blake said.
White Ranger: Is it me, or is Zett's goons getting smaller and angrier?
"It's just you." RWBY all said.
Time to see who is the best mech pilot for today.
(Cues Gundam Wing — When The Dragon Swims Through Everything)
FIGHT!
Zechs: Hyaaaaaaah!
Epyon rockets ahead with Zechs screaming at the top of his lungs, making the first move. He flies past the Tigerzord with a slash but Tommy blocks it, but he was also too slow to counter when Zechs came back and slashed him across the back at such speed that even Tommy is surprised.
White Ranger: Woah! He's quick for a little guy!
Saba: Stop messing around and start defending!
White Ranger: Right! Time for action!
Just as Epyon charges forward and is about to hit the Tigerzord again, Tommy gives off a surprise attack.
White Ranger: White Tiger, Sonic Boom!
The chest lets out a sonic roar that forces Epyon back and crashes into the ground.
White Ranger: All right. Saba, I want the Tigerzord to follow my every move!
The Tigerzord mimics Tommy's moves as both the Tigerzord and Epyon clash their respective blades against each other. The Tigerzord's blade could even withstand the Beam Sword's tremendous cutting power and, despite being much smaller, Epyon is able to fight the Tigerzord on equal footing as they eventually get into a blade block.
Ruby and Yang were both having big grins on their faces for seeing such an epic fight of the mechs.
"So COOL!" Both sisters screamed.
Zechs: You may be skilled, but you're too slow for Epyon!
Zechs backs off and tries to create a distance.
White Ranger: How's this? Hyper Speed!
The Tigerzord dashes forward at such speed that it became a blur and smashes into Epyon again which caused the Gundam to fly back and to tumble to the ground again.
"Sure caught him off guard!" Yang shouted.
"This fight is getting me on my toes." Blake admitted how thrilling this fight is getting.
Tigerzord now towers over the Gundam and raises his foot.
White Ranger: Time to stamp out some evil!
The Tigerzord slams his foot down but Epyon managed to move out of way with his thrusters just in time or he would have been crushed like a tin can.
"Close call." RWBY all said.
Epyon decides to fire its Vulcan guns at the Tigerzord but they barely do anything but slightly annoy the Zord.
"Those Vulcan guns are nothing but pea shooters to a mech like the Tigerzord." Weiss said as if she ain't too impressed.
White Ranger: Heh. What, are you playing hard to get? All right then, go long!
Tommy charges his stronger long ranged attack.
White Ranger: White Tiger Thunderball…. FIRE!
Epyon creates a shield to prevent damage but still got knocked back. A peeping sound is heard in the cockpit.
Zechs: The Epyon System indicates that you've shown your full arsenal.
"For the Tigerzord, yes." Yang answered. "But you have yet to see the Mega Tigerzord!"
White Ranger: Haah… FIRE!
More Thunderballs are fired at the Gundam but Epyon's smaller size and greater speed easily helped it dodge and maneuver around the projectiles.
Just as Zechs dodged another Thunderball, he slipped past Tommy and slashed the Tigerzord's legs, damaging it greatly.
"Sneak attack!" Ruby and Yang shouted.
Epyon now hovers above the Tigerzord and prepares to finish if off.
Zechs: You're finished.
But before he can even make his move, the entire screen went white and then black.
"W-What?!" RWY said in slight confusion but Blake wasn't much confused and deduced what may have happened.
The screen returns but the color of the scenery is now a dull brown like watching an old film.
"What's happening?" Ruby wondered.
"It seems Zechs may be hallucinating and seeing one of the outcomes of this fight." Blake stated.
RWY suddenly realized Blake was right and now wonder what this outcome may possibly be.
Zechs is a bit surprised and confused what just happened.
Zechs: Ah? W-What?
He looks up and sees a massive mech, hidden by the shadows.
RWBY didn't need to guess what it could be.
It raises its arm.
Zechs: What's that?!
Shortly after, the hand and chest begin to power up with powerful energy, followed by the sounds of a bird screeching and a tiger roaring.
"That looks like the finishing move!" Yang said out loud.
The two energy balls combine into one attack as the screen turns white and Zechs screaming as he dies….. Which sounded so narmy.
RWBY couldn't help but laugh how over dramatic and borderline fake it sounded.
"Geez, hearing that scream can't make me take it seriously." Blake chuckled.
"It sounded like he was overdoing it." Weiss also said.
The scene now returns to reality with Epyon just hovering there and Tommy even seems confused why his opponent ain't attacking him. But, at the same time, it gave him the chance to fight back.
Saba notices something on the mech.
Saba: Quick, Tommy! The circle on his chest; It must be a weak spot!
White Ranger: Right!
Tommy winds back a fist and thrusts forward while epic music plays.
(Cues MMPR — White Ranger Tiger Power)
Music: White Ranger Tiger Power…. White Ranger-
DING!
Nothing happened.
RWBY was silent.
Zechs: Hmph. Don't get cocky.
White Ranger: What? He didn't explode?!
Saba: Well this defies all logic.
"I agree!" Ruby said. "Every show me and Yang watched had a robot with a open weak spot and they easily blow up when getting hit there!"
"Welp. This mech doesn't." Weiss responded.
(Cues Gundam Wing — OZ Mobile Suite Approach)
Zechs now had the opening and got behind the Tommy, wraps the Heat Rod around the Tigerzord's leg, and yanks him off balance, forcing the bigger mech to fall over.
White Ranger: We're grounded!
Saba: Tommy, call the Zords!
White Ranger: You got it!
Ruby and Yang grinned ear to ear as to what Tommy is about to do.
White Ranger: I need Thunderzord Power NOW!
(Cues MMPR — Zords (Instrumental)
Thunderclouds roll in and lightning flashes, as Tommy calls upon all the other Thunderzords which they all combine together into the Mega Tigerzord.
"Now things are getting serious." Yang smirked.
Even Zechs was completely stunned at what he's seeing.
Zechs: Oh, shit….
The Mega Tigerzord charges and pummels the Gundam with a no holds barred beatdown as it easily dwarfs Zechs' mech. Then, it uppercuts it into the sky, follows after it with a leap and double kicks it back towards the Earth, followed by throwing a huge ball of energy.
Zechs managed to balance Epyon before it could hit the ground and sees the ball of energy coming towards him and shields himself to reduce damage. The Mega Tigerzord raises his arm while also charging his chest laser.
Zechs and even RWBY notices the move looks very familiar.
"He's seeing the move what he saw in his hallucination about to become real!" Ruby said with realization.
"Which means he's ready for it this time." Weiss said.
Zechs: Here it comes….
The Mega Tigerzord has fully charged the attack and fires the Phoenix Strike!
Zechs saw that coming a mile away….
(Cues Gundam Wing — White Reflection)
Music: I feel your love, Reflection….
Epyon avoids the finishing move.
RWBY went wide eyed of the epic music playing and Epyon gaining the upperhand.
Zechs: Routing all power to thrusters….
Tommy is completely helpless as Zechs is right behind the White Ranger and prepares his own finishing move.
Zechs: … and now to the Beam Saber!
He raises his Beam Saber at full power and prepares to end the fight.
Zechs: For NOOOOOOOIN
White Ranger: AH! NO!
Saba: SON OF A BIIIIIIIIIIII-!
SLASH!
RWBY remains silent, as Epyon lands on the ground in an epic pose while the Mega Tigerzord behind it falls on its knees and lays still. That slash that could destroy entire space stations was too much for the Morphing Grid to even handle and overloaded to its limit.
The top half slides off and explodes… with Tommy and Saba inside it as the White Ranger screams in agony, and perishes in the explosion…. leaving behind the lower half.
Silence.
K.O!
"THAT WAS SO AWESOME!" Ruby and Yang shouted at the top of their lungs!
"I admit… that was an awesome match for me to see." Blake admitted.
"And we do have the clear winner." Weiss also said.
(Cues Rhythm Eros — Fan Remix of Rhythm Emotion — Gundam Wing)
However…. They see poor Zechs crying over the remains of Noin's mech… and shedding so much tears that it creates a puddle.
RWBY couldn't help but feel sorry for Zechs.
However, Zordon is also crying for losing his White Ranger…. and he sheds just as much tears that the tube he's in starts to flood.
"Wow…. just wow." Blake deadpanned. Though, they feel sorry for him too for losing one of his best rangers.
Ruby and Yang were also laughing while Weiss just couldn't say anything.
Boomstick: Ow… my childhood.
"A lot of us do lose some parts of childhoodness." Yang responded.
Wiz: This was a surprisingly close call. At first glance, the Tigerzord towers over Epyon and is fast enough to keep up with it.
"Yeah. I was surprised this bigger mech can match the quicker mech's speed." Weiss said impressed.
Wiz: Yet, Epyon destroyed Barge, a 26,000 long space fortress with one swing. Just one.
"Yeah… even I am beyond belief a mech that size could destroy a space station like that in one slice." Ruby said with stars in her eyes. "I want a weapon like that!"
Wiz: There's no doubt that a few swings like that were enough to overload Tigerzord's connection to the morphin grid.
Boomstick: I mean, this goofy looking skeleton dude did, so I imagine a giant laser sword wielded by a devil robot can do it too.
"Skeleton guy looks pretty goofy indeed." Blake agreed.
"Guess Tigerzord ain't exactly as tough as we thought." Yang said.
Wiz: Also, Zechs is a far more experienced and properly trained warrior, unlike Tommy who was drafted in the middle of high school.
"Yeah. Going into a career like that at a young age makes you a bit not too skilled and early to be a perfectly skilled fighter." Blake agreed.
Wiz: But the Tigerzord wasn't helpless; its Mega form even duped the Epyon System for a moment.
"That kinda explained why it never warned Zechs about it." Ruby stated since the Epyon System ain't perfect.
Wiz: But, unfortunately for our favorite White Ranger, Epyon is an ever evolving dueling machine.
Boomstick: Stupid future predicting robot… and its really frickin' sweet sword! Gun-dammit!
Wiz: The winner is Epyon.
RWBY all cheered how awesome the fight was and especially being a mech based fight.
"That was an awesome episode!" Ruby said excitedly.
"Oh yeah! I felt my blood pumping to that one!" Yang agreed.
"It was a thrilling fight and interesting mechs." Blake agreed.
"I wonder what's next." Weiss said.
Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle.
Tensed music began to play as RWBY sees two badass looking fighters kicking ass and looking very dead serious to fight. One even had a flaming skull under his mask!
Ruby puts the next disc in and hits play.
