Author's Note: Alright. here it is, the beloved story you were all waiting to come back. I was really surprised of seeing all these views, likes, comments and favorites that I have gotten and I haven't even posted the first chapter yet. Now I feel like a youtube celebrity. Anyway this is my first fanfic. This must be common for all the other writers to feel when ever they first started. So any way once I figured where to start on this chapter and make sure it is just like how epic victory would have it written so I think it came out well. I luckily I didn't have anything important to do this weekend others wise I would not be done by the end of this weekend
Now to respond to comments for common curtousy, thank you all for getting excited and your hopes high
For those of you who are wondering why I don't just watch RWBY vol. 4 on rooster teeth or youtube. Maybe it's because I think RWBY is too good to be watched on combuter screen
And thanks for letting me know I shouldn't have any worries with the critics united

Ryu VS Scorpion
It was safe to say RWBY really enjoyed the battle between two awesome giant robots and are hoping their will be another one like it. Ruby now puts in the next disk and the huntresses begin to watch the episode
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)
Wiz: Two marquis warriors, arcade rivals since the 90's, now facing off for true superiority.
"Wow, another fan rival match" Ruby said
"This ought to be a good one" Yang said
Boomstick: Ryu, the wandering world warrior.
"Another combatant named Ryu." Blake stated as the girls remembered Ryu Hayabusa not too long ago.
Wiz: And Scorpion, the ninja from hell.
The huntresses were excited to see another badass ninja with a cool name but felt a little bit scared of him being from hell.
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.
The first combatant is a handsome young man with a medium muscular physic that made the girls blush and raise their eyebrows. He has medium length brown hair and wears a white karate gi with the sleeves torn off at the shoulders showing off his well built arms, a black martial arts belt around is waist and a red headband tide around his forehead and is always seen barefoot. He also wears red finger less fighting gloves but is sometimes seen without them
Ryu
(*Cues: Street Fighter Assassin's Fist - Dragon Punch*)
Wiz: Endlessly walking the earth and improving his fighting skill is the life of Ryu, the Japanese martial artist without a home.
The girls felt a bit of sorrow that Ryu doesn't have a place to call his home and is always on the road. "Looks like being a master fighter can only get you so far in life." Yang said
Background
5'9" / 175 cm
150 lbs / 68 kg
Birthday: July 21, 1964
Dislikes: spiders (so does Weiss), wearing shoes (the girls wondered why)
Capable of sleeping anywhere (so can zwei)
Has eyebrows so epic that they cannot be contained by his headband (the girls giggled at that)
Boomstick: But there's more to this karate hobo than meets the eye. After being dumped on a doorstep by his douchebag parents, he was adopted by the mysterious Gouken.
The girls remembered Gouken mentioned in Akuma's analysis during the second episode and are pleased that they are about to know a little more about him seeing how he must have been the one who trained Ryu.
From that moment on, Ryu dedicated his life to martial arts. Probably on some sort of parental vengeance quest.
Wiz: He trained alongside his best friend and rival, Ken Masters. Gouken taught them the Ansatsuken, or Assassin's Fist fighting style. But the name is actually a bit misleading. While originally designed as a means to murder, Gouken's personal take on the Ansatsuken is based around karate, kenpo, judo, and NOT killing people.
RWBY admired this since as Hunters and Huntresses, they were also taught to not resort to murder when facing human and faunas opponents no matter what crimes they have commited and stay true to their hearts. Blake wishes that the white fang never resorted to killing people to "achieve" equality.
"If Gouken decided to change the ways of the Ansatsuken to instill passive motives to whoever he trains, then he is definitely someone I can look up to" Ruby said cheerfully.
"Me too. He is a good example of people who strive to make positive impacts on the next generation since he took in Ryu when he had nothing." Weiss relied "Also this Ken Masters looks interesting since Gouken decided to train him as well."
Wiz: Unlike the ways of his violent brother, Akuma, who, ultimately, would prove to be his undoing.
RWBY remember Akuma well and are surprised that Ryu and Akuma share this kind of connection. They are once again shown the terrible image of Gouken laying up against the wall dead with Akuma's symbol painted on the wall in his blood after their supposed rematch. Only this time, Ryu is their to see Gouken in this state. The girls feel sad and sorrow for Ryu loosing an important figure in his life and though they still think Akuma is a badass, they feel a little more hatred towards him for murdering not only a good teacher but his own brother.
"I still can't believe Akuma murdered Gouken just to redeem his loss against him" Blake hissed for this kind of deed
"I can't imagine how terrible Ryu must have felt after returning to visit his Master only to find him dead." Ruby said while mourning for Ryu's lose
"At least he was able to complete his training before that tragic event" Yang said with a sad expression
Boomstick: Oh yeah, he can fingerpaint.
"You still dare to make that same rebuttal joke of this you insensitive Jerk!" Weiss growled. The other girls all narrowed their angry eyes with closed fist. They wanted to hit Boomstick for that. They were able to calm down as they start to listen to the fighting moves of the Ansatsuken.
(*Cues: Street Fighter Assassin's Fist - Lake Run*)
Ansatsuken Fighting Style
Shoryuken "Rising Dragon Fist": Generally Ryu's most powerful technique (Yang liked this one)
Hadoken "Wave Motion Fist": Contrary to popular belief, not actually composed of fire (RWBY found it an awesome move)
Tatsumaki Senpukyaku "Tornado Whirlwind Leg": Can safely pass over many projectile attacks
Joudan Sokutogeri: Forceful enough to bounce opponents off of walls (Ren liked this one)
Boomstick: Well the Assassin's Fist isn't your average McDojo style. His Ryu Shoryuken is an uppercut so powerful, it launches his victims sky high.
Ryu is seen launching himself in the air to deliver a devastating uppercut to his opponents in the air
"That's an awesome move that I would So use. Especially when I see a nevemore swooping down at me." Yang bosted with a fist in the air
The next move is Ryu using his ki to fire a ball of energy with a stance similar to Goku using the Kamehameha wave. RWBY looked at the move with awe while Ruby and Yang had stars in their eyes.
Boomstick: The Hadouken uses a fighters willpower to fire a blast of energy and destroy evil things, like... waterfalls.
Ryu fires a Hadouken through the falling path of a waterfall. The huntresses were amazed to see that once the projectile went through the waterfall, the water is no longer falling straight down but is now flowing around the projectile bath of the Hadouken
Wiz: And... physics?
"Take that science!" Yang gloated
Boomstick: And finally the Tatsu, uuuh... Tatsu...maki...senpuu...
Wiz: Tatsumaki Senpukyaku.
Boomstick: I HAD IT!
The girls laughed
"You clearly did not you dolt" Weiss mocked
"Wow after all this time, he still didn't bother to figure out how that move is pronounced?" Yang teased
"Hmm, now that you've mentioned it, these moves are almost exactly the same as Akuma's except his seem to have more power behind them." Blake pointed out.
"I'd rather learn these moves the same way Ryu did since he did so without the murderous intent like Akuma." Ruby said while WBY agreed to that.
Boomstick: Anyway the thing I totally know how to pronounce, gives the finger to gravity and lets him briefly fly around like some humans helicopter kicking machine.
Wiz: He also has a powerful step kick he calls the Joudan Sokutogeri.
The kick seemed to be a standard thrust kick but is done so with a perfect form while it is also powerful enough to send his opponants flying out of the screen view.
Boomstick: Hey! We don't have the translation for that one! I'm on it.
Boomstick then types Joudan Sokutougeri into Google Translate while RWBY were having their respective drinks in hand
Boomstick: AND DIARRHEA JOKE FOOT?! HAHAHAHA!
All four girls did a spit take ounce that was heard. Yang then bursted out laughing really hard that out of all thinks, that is what it translates to. Weiss couldn't help but facepalm. Ruby and Blake didn't know how to respond at the second
(*Cues: Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike - Ryu Stage (KOBU Inspiration)*)
Boomstick: What does it do?! Kick people in the stomach so hard that he takes them to Brown Town?!
Yang was now laughing even harder that she was clutching her stomach while Ruby and Blake began to laugh as well. "Will this guy ever stop being such an imbecile?" Weiss asked in a annoyed tone.
"Still, who ever created this fighting style did not think before naming this move." Blake replied while laughing
"I wonder if the same thing comes up if we try to translate it on our scrolls." Ruby curiously said while laughing as well.
"That's a great idea Rubes, I'm on it!" Yang then takes out her scroll and types in Joudan Sokutogeri. After a few seconds Yang once again burst out laughing. "It does! Even hear on remnant it comes out the same! See?!" Yang shows it the her sister and friends as Ruby and Blake started laughing hard too while Weiss was still not amused.
Wiz: With the CORRECT kanji it's more like... "High Level Leg Blade Kick".
Boomstick: You know it's "Diarrhea Kick" forever in my mind now, right?
"For the love of Oum, can we get on with the episode please?!" Weiss complained as she is now fed up with the Diarrhea Kick joke. RWBY finally called down and continued with the episode.
Wiz: *Sigh* At the age of 23, Ryu entered the first World Warrior Tournament to test his skill. He swept through nine powerful combatants before taking on the champion, Sagat.
Ryu is now scene fighting Sagat in the finals of the tournament but Sagat seems to be winning the fight.
"Wow this Sagat guy looks like a pretty tough fighter in his own right." Ruby said with awe
"What kind of of diet and training did he put himself through to become such a giant of a man?" Blake agreed
"I can't think of anyone on Remnant that big...except for maybe that white fang liutenant with the chainsaw that we fought back at that train incident." Weiss said. She also couldn't help but notice him having an eyepatch. Kind of reminds her of her scar that she is self conscious of.
"If Ryu is struggeling against him, then he must quite the challenge that I would be glad to take." Yang said as she bumped her fist together
Wiz: After a hard fought battle, Sagat was set to take the win...
Boomstick: ...until he made the mistake of being a good sport. After beating the shit out of Ryu, Sagat offered him a helping hand up. Instead of taking it, Ryu gave him a surprise punch SO HARD it ripped his chest open and nearly killed the guy. Dick move, Ryu. Dick move.
RWBY was shocked to see Ryu do that and Cringed really hard at seeing Sagat getting a huge life threatening wound across is chest that any normal man would die from. Luckily Sagat was a tough son of a gun and was able to pull through.
"Why did he do that?! He could've killed him and violated the ways of the Ansatsuken that Gouken bestowed on him or any form of self defense for that matter!" Ruby said in shock
"I agree, no one who lost in a tournament should even hold a grudge when the winner is being a good sport!" Blake replied in a serious tone.
Weiss felt squeamish at seeing how much blood was spilling out of the wound. Yang once again had that weird feeling and is now starting to get worried about it.
(*Cues: Street Fighter IV - Theme of Evil Ryu*)
Wiz: This was Ryu's first taste of the dark power buried within him. The Satsui no Hado. Literally the Surge Of Murderous intent.
"That has to be the same power that Akuma has embraced." Blake pointed out
"It should be since he ended up killing Gouken using that power." Wiess replied
The girls were surprised that Ryu, even though he was trained to be as strong and honorable as his master was hoping to be is seseptible to succumbing to this power.
Boomstick: Still not as good a name as the "Diarrhea Joke Foot".
"Enough with that already! At least you can take that name more seriously." Weiss said in an annoyed tone.
"Still pretty funny to call a fighting move that has the word diarrhea in it." Yang said
Satsui No Hado
A form of ki based around man's evil nature (Semblances are also based around a person's nature)
Greatly increases the speed, power, and ferocity of its user (So does aura in some ways)
Grants access to the most fatal Ansatsuken technique, the Raging Demon
Has an addictive quality, making it hard to turn away from it (Good thing semblances does not cause addictive usage)
Causes hair to turn red, eyes glow red, and teeth to sharpen
Wiz: The Satsui no Hado gives Ryu incredible power but at the expense of his humanity. He can tap a portion of this power to safely enhance his attacks however, should his desire to win become so great he would even commit murder. The Satsui no Hado can overwhelm him and he will lose control becoming Evil Ryu.
As Evil Ryu, his gi becomes dark purble his skin has a darker shade as well as his hair and his eyes now glow red.
"So this power really does make you lose your senses to the point were you end up killing anyone." Ruby said with worry
"That must make it hard on Ryu since he loses control and anyone close to him can get hurt." Blake said
"I'm glad my semblance doesn't make me too violent to keep myself from killing someone." Yang said though she could end up doing so if she sees someone hurting her baby sister.
"If I ever do learn to create summons like my sister can, I hope they don't act out on their own and end up hurting you guys or anyone unintentionally." Weiss said
Boomstick: Now we're talking!
Wiz: Evil Ryu has enormous power to the point of being almost unstoppable. He can even blast a skyscraper to smithereens.
The girls watch with awe of Ryu doing so with Hadouken thats boosted in power by the Satsui No Hado
"Whoa! thats pretty destructive being able to blast a building to smithereens!" Ruby said
"Power like that could put him on par with a well trained Hunter or Huntress." Blake said while the others agreed
Boomstick: He can teleport short distances, even passing through attacks along the way. More impressively, despite Gouken never teaching him this, Evil Ryu can use the Ansatsuken's forbidden technique, the Shun Goku Satsu, more commonly known as the Raging Demon.
The girls were once again surprised that the Evil Ryu form makes him almost like Akuma somehow that he is able to perform some same fatal moves even though he was never taught as they are now about to learn the full effects of the dreaded Raging Demon.
(*Cues: Street Fighter IV - Akuma vs. Ryu*)
Wiz: With this, Evil Ryu turns his foes own sins against them, and eradicates their soul. It was this exact attack, which Akuma, a master of the Dark Hadou, used to murder Ryu's master.
This brought some shock and fear towards the girls. Not only does it kill you instantly but it also destroys your soul! They don't know if their aura would potect them from something as fatal as that. They don't know whats worse, taking inoccent souls for their own like with Shang Tsung or Shao Kahn or destroying them cause at least with the taking of the souls, their is a way to free them so they can rest in piece.
Wix: Since then, Akuma has been haunting Ryu, tempting to succumb and fully commit to the dark Satsui No Hado as well, basically, this is "Karate Star Wars".
This brought some curiousity to the Huntresses of why Wiz would compare this to the universe that Boba Fett, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader that they still have yet to learn about recide in.
Boomstick: Oh, you call everything Star Wars.
"Wait a minute, does that mean that their is a force power that also comes at the expense of a Jedi's humanity? Weiss asked. The girls remembered learning about power of the force that Luke Skywalker and other Jedi's posses and were intrigued about it in it's versatility and advantages of it's uses.
"It would explain why Darth Vader become evil but can't say for sure." Blake answered
Wiz: Well, some even speculate that Akuma is Ryu's father.
"What?!" The girls were shocked in disbelief at this kind of connection between Ryu and Akuma.
Boomstick: Mother of God...It is "Karate Star Wars"!
"Can only imagine how Ryu and Luke must have reacted when they found out their respective fathers are evil." Yang said.
"Actually with Ryu and Akuma, it was said that it is just a speculation." Blake tried to correct.
"Well I hope for Ryu that Akuma being his father is not true." Ruby said
"Though it would explain why he was abondoned at the beginning of his analysis." Weiss theorized
Wiz: But Gouken's teachings instilled a powerful belief in Ryu. If he can resist and shun this dark temptation, he can attain an even greater power.
"A power even greater than the Satsui No Hado? I wonder what it is?" Ruby asked curiously again.
"I'm pretty sure we're about to find out." Yang said who is also curious."
Boomstick: By detaching himself from all emotion, he enters an altered state of consciousness.
Wiz: Like a Jedi.
"Another similarity of course." Wiess said in sarcasm while she rolled her eyes
Boomstick: This boosts his speed, power, and can do all sorts of crazy shit to his abilities.
Wiz: This is the Power of Nothingness.
Boomstick: Stupid name!
The girls laughed "I might have to agree and say that name doesn't really scream badassary." Yang said
"Agreed." RWB said in agreement
Power of Nothingness
Foil to the Satsui no Hado
Resembles states of being found in Buddhism
Brings a hyperawareness of the universe to the user
Boosts one's strength and speed without losing clarity of thought
Causes eyes to glow blue-white
Can be used to withstand even the dreaded Raging Demon (The girls were amazed at this)
With the power of nothingness, Ryu's gi, skin and hair turn back to normal and his eyes now glow white and has a bluish white aura radiating off of him.
Wiz: The Power of Nothingness is more focused than the Dark Hado, allowing Ryu complete control over his mind and body.
The girls were glad for Ryu with sheer force of will cancel out the dark hado and obtain an the ultimate power of the Ansatsuken. The girls watch in awe and amazement as they see Ryu perform the Shinku Hadouken which is a huge ongoing beam of spiritual energy.
"That was an amazing technique." Ruby said in a low tone as she is left dazed at the move.
"I definitely wish we can use our aura to unleash powerful attacks like that." Yang said while impressed
Gouken even once used this power to separate himself from his soul in order to survive Akuma's Raging Demon. Surprise! Obi Wan is still alive!
"Wait, Gouken is alive after all?!" Weiss asked in disbelief that this power can even be used to survive the Raging Demon.
"Maybe he was able to separate his astral body from his physical body in time so his soul wouldn't get eradicated as well." Blake said with while she was wide eyed
"Glad happy endings can be possible anywhere." Ruby said cheerfully
(*Cues: Marvel Vs Capcom 3 - Theme of Ryu*)
Boomstick: Ryu is skilled enough to take on numerous thugs at once, tough enough to survive being impaled, and strong enough to overpower the genetically-created super warrior Seth.
The girls were highly impressed with the last feat. Not only did he fight something that was created to be the ultimate warrior but he was actually able to beat it by outmatching it. It must make him the best in his universe
Oh, and he's fast enough to dodge point blank gunfire!
"He truly is masterful." Weiss commented
"He really could keep up with a well trained Hunter or Huntress in a fight." Ruby commented as well
"Hell yeah, he's definitely got the moves!" Yang agreed with a bodily gesture.
Wiz: Yet as Evil Ryu his aura's so strong he can just walk through bullets.
That impressed RWBY even more even though he is doing so in his evil form
Boomstick: That being said, being the Street Fighter poster boy doesn't mean he's the top world warrior. He's lost a number of matches fair and square against the likes of M. Bison, Oro, and even his best friend Ken.
The girls already know how deadly Bison is but still hate him for the things he's done. "This Oro guy is creepy to look at, even more so than that creepy old pervert from Chun Li VS Mai Shiranui episode" Yang said as the others have also noticed the hideous appearance of Oro as well but they can't they can't base their opinion on his looks alone and figured he is someone not to be taken lightly either. Weiss still has some interests in this Ken that Ryu is best friends with.
Wiz: However, many of these losses may stem from his struggle to contain the power of the Dark Satsui no Hado, which is obviously quite difficult to do in the middle of a battle.
Boomstick: But when Ryu unleashes his full potential, stay the fuck out of his way!
Evil Ryu: My name is Ryu, and the ultimate power has awakened within me!
RWBY took quite a liking to Ryu and can see why he is the poster boy of his said franchises. Ryu and Yang like is special moves while Weiss admired his determination to increase in his strength and skill and Blake believed his backround story was very interesting
The next combatant is a ninja donned in the traditional sleeveless ninja barb and mask with the outer layer of the outfit being yellow. He has eyes that don't have Irises or pupils leaving them entirely white which RWBY is a little intimidated by.
Scorpion
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)
Wiz: From Earthrealm to Outworld there were few who didn't fear the ruthless clan known as the Lin Kuei.
"Looks like we are learning more about this Lin Kuei clan." Weiss said. They remembered the Lin Kuei being mentioned as it had some twisted history with some of the ninjas in the clan being turned into robots, the grandmaster being assassinated by his own son and the current grandmaster seems interesting to RWBY.
Boomstick: Except the Shirai Ryu; a clan with some serious balls. Not only do they defect from the Lin Kuei, they mock them on a daily basis by wearing obvious palette-swaps of their clothes.
The girls found it a little funny of how the Lin Kuei is offended of the Shirai Ryu purposely wearing the same clothing as them but in different color though they would feel the same way if they saw someone else wearing the same thing as them but look better in it.
"I wonder why the people that formed the Shirai Ryu left the Lin Kuei and form a feud between them." Ruby asked. The other girls couldn't think of an answer of what caused the feud/turf war between the two clans. (Neither could I to be honest with you)
Bommstick: They also like to pull classic pranks like annoying phone calls, TP-ing Lin Kuei homes and constantly slaughtering their loved ones. Haha, got ´em!
RWBY growled at how Boomstick would compare murder like a harmless prank. "One of these days someone WILL shove those words down your throat Boomstick." Wiess hissed.
They were also shocked of the clans hating eachother that much to the point they would kill anyone associated with them. The Lin Kuei really does have some strange history.
Wiz: From the Shirai Ryu came Hanzo Hasashi, the hellish ninja of vengeance.
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)
Wiz: But before he became the stuff of nightmares, he was once an ordinary young child...whose father just happened to be a deadly assassin.
RWBY cooed at seeing Scorpion as a little boy before he become a ninja spawned from hell.
Backround
Real Name: Hanzo Hasashi
6'2" / 188 cm
210 lbs / 95 kg
Physical age: 32
General of the Shirai Ryu clan
Kombat Styles: Ninjutsu, Pi Gua, Hapkido, and Moi Fah
Strongly prefers foes to come to him (That confused Blake as she knows ninja's are usually suppose to be the ones that go after their target)
Creator Ed Boon's favorite character (RWBY wondered who Ed Boon is)
Wiz: In hopes of sparing him from a violent life of regret and murder, Hanzo´s father forbade him from ever joining the clan.
Boomstick: Sorry son, you´re not allowed to be awesome.
RWBY could understand that for a worrysome parent. Being a ninja is a dangerous life. Same for the life of a Hunter and Huntress. Even Ruby's mother Summer Rose died on the job. After mourning for the lose of losing her, Ruby and Yang's father could've have made that sad moment of his life forbid them from becoming Huntresses and live a quiet and safe life so they wouldn't die like their mother did. But he decided that it is their choice if they want to follow in their parents footsteps to become Huntresses to protect people from the Grimm. It wouldn't make him a bad father if he ended up supporting them in their decision.
(*Cues: Lower Mines/The Pit - Mortal Kombat Deception*)
Wiz: However, as time went on, Hanzo became desperate. He needed a way to support not only himself but also his wife and son.
RWBY awed at Hanzo being a father trying to support his wife and son (Not awe as in amazed, awe as in cute...you know what I mean right?)
Wiz: Faced with few other options, he reluctantly disobeyed his father and began the life of a ninja assassin.
"So he had no choice. At least the Shirai Ryu clan takes care of it's members and provides their families with stabilties and substanance in life." Ruby said trying to see the bright side of things
"As long as you abide by their code and do whatever it is they expect from you." Blake pointed out as she knows ninja clans create strict rules and regulations to their members and if you try to disobey and go against them in any way, you will be punished for it. A good example of this is when Strider Hiryu was forced to kill his sister who became a shinobi.
Boomstick: As a ninja, Hanzo is exceptionally skilled in Ninjutsu, Pi Gua, Hapkido and numerous secret Chinese martial arts.
"Another fighter that uses fighting styles similar to Ren's." Blake pointed out, seeing as how these fighting styles complement well with the agility of a ninja. Now they are shown the weapon that is one of the things that make Scorpion so Iconic in the fighting game genre.
Boomstick: But it´s his weapon of choice that earned him the nickname Scorpion.
(*Cues: Scorpion's Theme - Mortal Kombat 9*)
Scorpion: GET OVER HERE! *Fires his kunai spear into Sub-Zero´s head and then tears it right off, letting it fly past him*
Though RWBY admit it was cool seeing his signature spear attach to a rope shot out like that, they were not prepared at seeing the spear go right through Sub Zero's head and torn off when Scorpion pulls on the rope with enough force and flies past him. It made them feel sick again
"Ah man, I forgot to realize Scorpion comes from the same universe as Shao Kahn, Raiden, Shang Tsung and Sektor where dealing out painful and gory deaths is a common thing." Weiss said as she covers her mouth in case she throws up again. "That is probably not even his worst." Ruby said but hoping they won't be thown it.
Move Set
Kunai Spear: (Blake really liked this)
-Closest real-life equivalent was called the rope dart
-Also previously depicted as a mace or a serpent creature
-Has also been used by Reptile, Smoke, and Noob Saibot
Hellfire Punch (Yang really liked this one)
Fire Breath (Yang liked this one too)
Flaming Backflip Kick
Scorpion Sting
Boomstick: While his kunai-in-a-rope is iconic and deadly, I´m more partial to whatever the hell that snake creature is that lives in his hand.
Boomstick isn't joking. In one depiction of Scorpion, they see the iconic move as a scary looking snake like creature coming out of the opening flesh from Scorpian's hand and flies towards whoever it tries to pierce. "Ok, that's just scary." Yang admitted with a hint of fear. "Yeah, I would hate to see that thing flying at my face." Ruby said also frightened.
"I'm not gonna sleep well tonight thanks to that." Weiss groan in disgust.
"At least it's not as terrible as Shao Kahn's beast form." Blake said while disturbed as well.
Boomstick: Well, in whatever form, it impales the opponent and pulls them in close, usually for a sweet uppercut to the jaw.
"I have to admit, that is actually a good way to inflict more damage to your opponent as they are left open for you to dish out a good hit on them." Weiss commented "You know I'll always go for an uppercut to the jaw whenever I have the chance." Yang boasted while pumping a fist in the air as if she uppercuted someone.
Wiz: This is similar to an ancient assassination weapon used in the Tang dynasty called the Rope Dart. It´s extremely difficult to master, making Scorpion´s finesse all the more impressive.
The girls especially Blake were really impressed, this technique does take years to master and apply it in combat, even for Hunters and Huntresses. This is just one of the things that make him badass to RWBY.
Boomstick: He´s also profesioned with several weapons like long swords, twin katanas and axes.
"It's pretty common for a ninja to be skilled in a variety of weapons so the'll combat ready." Blake pointed
"Of course, it's one of the reasons why they are so cool and deadly." Yang said
*Scorpion knocks Sub-Zero down*
Dan Forden: Toasty!
"Hey! It's that "Toasty" guy again." Ruby pointed out as he has briefly seen in the second episode during the fight scenario for some reason.
Wiz: Scorpion´s weaponry and kombat prowess were put to the ultimate test by the legendary Lin Kuei warrior Bi-Han, a.k.a. Sub-Zero.
The girls figured Scorpion and Sub Zero must have some intense rivalry between them since their from rival clans and seeing the only difference in their appearance is that Sub Zero's outfit is blue while Scorpion's is yellow. This makes RWBY especially Weiss and Blake want to learn more about Sub-Zero.
(*Cues: Soul Chamber Theme - Mortal Kombat Trilogy*)
Wiz: And things didn´t go so well for our yellow-clad ninja.
RWBY looked on in horror as their ultimate battle ended with Sub Zero tears out Scorpion's head and spine out of his body. "Why do people keep granting horrible deaths in this universe?" Weiss as she puked in her mouth a little.
Wiz: Next thing he knew, Scorpion was waking up in the Netherrealm.
Boomstick: More commonly known as Hell.
The girls felt sympathy for Scorpion, now he ended up in hell. He must have done some bad deeds in his time in the Shirai Ryu but it was all to make sure his family does not starve on the streets. He shouldn't be depicted overall a bad person. Blake could relate a little how she has done some things she was not proud of in the White Fang but she left and is now trying to turn a new leaf.
Boomstick: Bet you wished you listened to Dad now, then maybe you could have ended up in a happier place, with your murdered wife and kid-oh yeah, they´re dead too.
RWBY gasped and were saddened for Scorpion as he finds his wife and son murdered while he was away. All he wanted was to make sure they were taken care well.
Wiz: Enraged at Sub-Zero for apparently killing all he´d sworn to protect, Scorpion scored a second chance striking a deal with the sorcerer Quan Chi.
"This Quan Chi guy doesn't look like someone you can trust." Blake said
"How could you tell, do you sense something fishy about him?" Yang punned at Blake only for her to respond by throwing a pillow in her face.
"Oh no, this is Kratos and Spawn's origin story all over again." Ruby said in worry
"That's right, why would that sorcerer need his loyalty enough to offer him power and a second chance to avenge his family? He should've known something was off about that deal." Weiss agreed
"Hey you once again agreed I was right!" Ruby said in her bubbly nature. "Don't start getting use to it." Weiss warned
"Scorpion must have been too blinded by his need for vengeance to consider the down side of what Quan Chi was offering." Blake said
In exchange for his loyalty, Scorpion was resurrected as a phantom of the Netherrealm
(*Cues: Reptile's Theme (Skrillex) - Mortal Kombat 9*)
*Scorpion teleports out of the ground, lands and engulfs himself in flames*
Wraith Abilities
Teleportation: (Similar to Neo's semblance)
-Commonly used to surprise attack enemies from behind
Netherrealm Portals: (This scared RWBY)
-Quick access to the underworld and back at any time
Control over hellfire: (Yang approves)
-Explosive fireballs
-Summoning flames under his opponent
-Surrounds himself in harmful flames
-Can even breathe out fire
Cannot die from physical attacks
Boomstick: And being reborn as a demon of vengeance has its perks. Scorpion can now teleport, summon fire at will and create portals in and out of the Netherrealm he was spawned from, literally dragging others to Hell! Whilst there, his +1s can enjoy such tourist locations as Lava Pit and witness the corpse-burning celebration called: The Festival of Torture. Fun times!
This brought quite some horror to the huntresses as they see someone getting his face dipped in the magma and still be concious for a few seconds to feel the horrible pain before they die. If that wasn't bad enough they then see some poor disfigured corpse like bodies screaming in pain as they are being tortured in hell. "I'm glad no one here on remnant has the power to send us to hell." Weiss said in dread and fear and the others agreed as they were also scared. They would rather take their chances with the grimm.
Wiz: The Netherrealm is the source of Scorpion´s demonic power and his strength rises simply by his being there.
"That would not be a good thing either for any of his enemies who are trapped in hell with him." Blake said in awe.
Boomstick: Scorpion is so vicious he can perform no fewer than thirteen different Fatalities.
"Oh no please not this again!" Weiss said. They girls braced themselves for seeing the fatalaties that Scorpion will most likely do. They hoped the won't be too that Weiss ends up vomiting again.
Fatalaties
Spine Rip: (This made Ruby and Weiss' face turn green)
-Removes victim's head with bare hands Presumably learned it from Sub-Zero
Toasty!:
-Scorpion's fire breath incinerates the target in seconds
Hand from Hell: (RWBY was freaked out by this)
-A flaming skeletal hand pulls the enemy to hell
Spear Slice:
-Cuts victim in half and beheads them
Animalities:
-Becomes a scorpion and tears them in half...Or becomes an adorable penguin (RWBY were dumbfounded at this)
The first fatalaty RWBY sees scorpion perform (on Sub Zero and Jade) is him grabbing his victim by the neck and ripping his head right off with their entire spine still connected.
Wiz: He can rip a person´s head from their body - spine included.
Boomstick: That´s not something you just do, that´s art right there.
"I think I'm gonna be sick...again." Weiss groaned "Samesies" Ruby replied as she threw up in her mouth as well. Yang and Blake weren't affected as much it was still sickening to them.
Then they were frightened ass they see Scorpion burning someone alive by unmasking himself to show that his face after he was ressurected is nothing but a seemingly lifeless skull that are breath fire.
Wiz: Rip off his mask to show his true face-
Boomstick and Ruby: AAAAAH, WHAT THE FUCK/HECK IS THAT THING?!
Then they see Scorpion transform into a giant scorpion (slighty smaller than a death stalker), impale his opponant (Kai) through the stomach with the stinger and tear off his upper body with the claws
Wiz: And score a kill by transforming into a, well, giant scorpion, of course. ...or a penguin.
They all of a sudden watch Scorpion transform in to a cute little penguin of all things, waddle towards his opponant lays an egg right between his/her legs, waddles away then the egg explodes like a grenade.
Boomstick and RWBY: Wait, WHAT?!
(*Cues: Lower Mines/The Pit - Mortal Kombat Deception again*)
Wiz: And although Scorpion was far from the most powerful combatant in the Mortal Kombat tournament, he has defeated lethal warriors across multiple worlds.
"He is pretty tough to fight with his prowess as a ninja mixed all those demonic powers." Ruby commented
"I wonder how we would fare against him." Yang eagerly said.
"That might depend on the scenario, what if he decides to drag you to hell?" Blake pointed out the possibility. "...yyyeeaahh, never mind." Yang relizing that possibility of being in hell.
Wiz: He´s conquered sorcerers, demons, cyborgs and eventually avenged his death by incinerating Bi-Han in the Netherrealm.
Boomstick: But it turns out that that Sub-Zero guy was kind of innocent. The man actually responsible for the death of his family was Quan Chi.
"WHAT?!" RWBY shouted in shock and anger of learning that Quan Chi was the real murderer of Scorpion's wife and son.
Boomstick: You know, that guy he swore himself to and has been working for this whole time?
"I knew their was something off about him" Blake said in anger. "Not only did he kill poor Scorpion's family, but he also tricked him into thinking that it was Sub Zero who did it?! Ruby growled that Quan Chi would do such a thing. "He is no better than Shang Tsung or Shao Kahn." Weiss hissed "I hope one day Scorpion gives Quan Chi what he deserves." Yang agreed has her eyes turn red and hair flame up for a second. The girls now felt nothing but disgust at Quan Chi for this kind of crime. (Good thing Scorpion ends up killing Quan Chi in Mortal Kombat X)
Boomstick: Man, Scorpion's kinda like the Charlie Brown of Mortal Kombat.
(*Cues: A Charlie Brown Christmas - Christmas Time is Here (Instrumental)*)
Quan Chi knocks Scorpion down a flight of stairs.
The girls don't know who Charlie Brown is but figured he must be some one who gets taken advantage of by others.
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)
Wiz: As penance for his mistake, Scorpion dedicated his life after death to protecting the late Sub-Zero's younger brother... Sub-Zero.
RWBY felt relieved that though it was a little too late in realizing Sub Zero was innocent, Scorpion hoped to honor his memory in forming peace with the Lin Kuei by protecting Sub Zero's younger brother...who is also named Sub Zero "Say wouldn't it be confusing to have both brothers named Sub Zero?" Ruby asked
"Well it wouldn't be confusing anymore since one of them is dead now, at least Scorpion is trying to make anmends now with the other brother." Blake said in a bit of a sad tone.
Boomstick: Though he still found time for shooting three's, hitting homers, and hosting his own cooking show!
"Wait what?" RWBY said becoming dumbfounded. Seeing Scorpion, an awesome ninja playing baseball and basketball is silly enough but he is also a cook show host?
VO: This week on "Cooking with Scorpion", learn about chopping... (Caption: Yes...this is real...)
"Well that's...something." Weiss said with a confused expression
"Sssooo,...this is what he does in his spare time whenever he is NOT seeking vengeance for his family and clan?" Blake asked as she tilted her head in confusion.
"And he seems to be enjoying what he is doing." Yang giggled along with Ruby.
Boomstick: Yeah, I'm not gonna trust anything that guy makes. Does he even eat anymore?
"Even if I die I would still eat cookies and Strawberries." Ruby said while WBY agreed with their respective favorite foods.
Wiz: Aside from his weakness for the culinary arts, Scorpion's win-loss record is not as intimidating as you might think. But consider the outrageous scope of his competition.
"Well some of the people that he ends up fighting are a mixed of sorcerors, overlords and Gods."
Boomstick: Any way you look at it, its tough to be much more of a badass then a fire-breathing skeleton ninja from Hell.
Scorpion: I am Scorpion, vengeance will be mine! (The girls find his voice both cool and frightening)
RWBY can agree that Scorpion is a badass and see why he is iconic in his fanchise. Yang likes his pyrokinetic abilities, Blake likes how he is skilled in using the rope dart, similar to how she uses Gambol Shroud and Ruby and Weiss like his variety in skills and powers.
"Who do you girls think will win? I choose Ryu." Ruby said since she thinks Ryu is more good hearted
"I pick Ryu since his other two forms do make him pretty powerful." Weiss said.
"I choose Scorpion since he is bringing the fire! and representing the yellow clad warriors!" Yang said as if she was describing herself.
"Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with the ninja on this one too." Blake said
"Oh, is it because he reminds you of someone from the ninja book that you read?, huh, does he make you "hot" for him? Does your heart "burn" for him too? Does he make your urges "fired" up? Huh? Huh?" Yang teased her partner "SHUT UP!" Blake silenced her partner. She didn't want to admit it but Scorpion did resemble a ninja character in the novel that was also able to control fire. Not only that but he also had his fair share of...love scenes through out the story. Unfortunately for her Yang got her answer by the blush formed on Blake's face and will tease her for it later. Now that they gave their votes, they continued the episode to watch the fight.
Wiz: Alright the kombatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)
Ryu is seen standing on top of a plateau in a mountainous location, when suddenly, a voice calls out to him.
Scorpion: Get over here!
(*Cues: Street Fighter IV - Volcanic Rim Opening Version*)
Ryu catches the kunai spear flying at him.
Ryu: Can't fool me!
"Good reflexes." Blake commented
Ryu pulls the rope forcing Scorpion into screen view
Ryu: Come on!
They both get ready in their fighting stances eager to test their might (see what I did there?)
"This is gonna be awesome!" Ruby and Yang said excitement Blake and Weiss agreeing in anticipation and blood pumping music playing
FIGHT!
Scorpion teleports to Ryu which he blocks. He tries landing a flurry of punches but Ryu avoids them. Ryu punches Scorpion in the skull (which made RWBY flich as if they have been punched in the skull) and knocks him over. Ryu tries punching Scorpion while he's on the ground but Scorpion teleports right before he does so.
Scorpion: Come here!
Scorpion reappers at a distance and launches his kunai spear, but Ryu counters by launching a Hadouken which proves to be the overpowered projectile as it cancels out the thrown spear before it could reach Ryu and continues to fly toward Scorpion. He then teleports before the Hadouken can hit him. Teleporting behind Ryu, Scorpion then punches Ryu in the face, disorienting him. While Ryu is dizzy, Scorpion summons a katana and attempts to slice him. But, before he can do so, Ryu recovers in time and dodges the sword slashes, subsequently kicking Scorpion in the face with his Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, follows up by uppercutting him with a Shouryuken sending him a few feet in the air. Before Scorpion can get back up, Ryu then kicks him off the mountain with the Joudan Sokutougeri. Scorpion is now tumbling down the mountainside until he finally hits the base of the mountain.
"DAMN! That's gotta hurt." Yang said as she is enjoying the fight. "It would've hurt if he wasn't already dead" Blake pointed out "Still looks like Ryu has the upperhand already." Weiss said as she was watching with interest.
Scorpion is on his knees. Ryu was able to catch up by skidding down the mountain.
Ryu: Can you stand up after that?
When Scorpion does not answer, Ryu slowly begins approaching him.
Ryu: I'll finish this!
Ryu throws out a punch, which Scorpion suddenly catches to Ryu's surprise.
Scorpion: YOU WILL JOIN ME IN HELL!
Scorpion holds Ryu close and opens a portal to the Netherrealm, dragging them both into it.
"That can't be good for Ryu." Ruby said in worry
"DUH DUH DUHHH!" Yang said for dramatic effect.
(*Cues: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Rising Action 1*)
The scene changes to a sea of lava in hell with large pillars made up of skeletons sticking out from the gagma and a strip of land big enough for the kombatants to continue their fight.
"That place gives me the creeps." Weiss said with dread while the others felt the same way.
Ryu and Scorpion appear and land on the...land. Ryu smiles at his opponent.
Ryu: Hmmm, this is some fight!
"Looks like Scorpion has the home field advantage now." Blake pointed out. "Yeah, now Scorpion is about to give him "hell" right now. Eh, Eh?" The other 3 groaned in annoyance and continue watching.
Scorpion shoots a ball of hellfire at Ryu but Ryu counters with his Hadouken. The two projectile kolide and make a medium explosion. Scorpion suddenly teleports behind Ryu and kicks him in the back. He then begins alternating back and forth each time getting a hit on Ryu. Ryu could do little but take assault until he reappers with a sword and deals three fatal slashes to Ryu and kicks him in the face. Ryu groaned in pain and falls to his knees panting.
"Ryu is now struggling ." Ruby said in worry
However, Ryu bites down on the pain and warns Scorpion.
Ryu: Neither of us has reached our full potential!
"He's right, we still have yet to see Evil Ryu and the power of nothingness." Weiss said knowing that it's not over yet however Scorpion does not intend to let that happen and just go for the kill.
Scorpion: As if that matters!
Scorpion then summons fire from right under Ryu and has it engulf him. Ruby and Weiss look on in a little bit of horror they hear Ryu scream as he is being burned alive while Scorpion laughs thinking he has won. Suddenly, a voice calls out to him.
Ryu: It's not over!
Ryu starts tapping into the power of the Satsui no Hado and lets off an explosion of energy that extinguisher the fire as his clothes start growing darker.
(*Cues: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - A Soul Can't be Cut*)
Ryu's transformation to Evil Ryu is complete.
Evil Ryu: Surprised?
"This just got real." Ruby said excited to see the fight escalate even more though her and Weiss were kind of hoping he wouldn't win this way since this form makes him more violent and murderes. Yang and Blake were eager to see what Evil Ryu was made off with intense music playing.
Scorpion fires off another ball of Hellfire, but Evil Ryu simply punches it away. Yang approves
Evil Ryu: I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I'M MADE OF!
Evil Ryu leaps forward into the air and delivers several aerial Hadoukens. Scorpion dodges them but Evil Ryu lands on top of him, pinning him down. Using a Hellfire kick, Scorpion knocks Evil Ryu away and charges in with his sword. Evil Ryu breaks the sword with his hands which made RWBY go wide eyed in awe and warns Scorpion.
Evil Ryu: Don't expect mercy!
Evil Ryu then unleashes a brutal combination, a purple electricity enhanced version of the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, and finishes with an epic Shin-Shoryuken.
Evil Ryu: SHOR-YU-KENNN!
"Okay that was badass!" Yang commented while her and Ruby are shaking with excitement of the fight getting more intense.
However, Scorpion still gets up from that pummeling which RWBY was surprised at. Ryu's eyes glows as he teleports forward to finish off his opponent. RWBY leans forward as they are familiar with this move that Ryu is performing
Evil Ryu: GOTCHA!
Evil Ryu then try to use the Raging Demon technique, but Scorpion was able to teleports out of the way in time.
"Whoah, that could've been it him right there!" Yang said with wide eyed.
"Yeah, it was a good thing he knew to teleport the way out of that." Blake said
Scorpion ends up behind Evil Ryu, takes off his mask, revealing his skull face with a creepy laugh and breathes out fire towards hoping to burn him again. Yang is liking the fire breathe but is still a little creeped out by the skull apearance. Evil Ryu jumps over the flame and lands close to Scorpion. The two exchange blows again. Scorpion catches Evil Ryu with an uppercut that sends Ryu back at a distance, before Ryu could get back up, Scorpion hits Ryu with his Rope Spear, pulls him close only to knock him back with a fire enhanced backflip kick. Scorpion repeats this three times in a row in a juggling combo ending with a Hellfire blast that knocks Evil Ryu back again. Evil Ryu bounces away, then reverts back to normal Ryu as the Satsu no Hado is spent.
RWBY was surprised that Scorpion ended up overpowering Evil Ryu.
Panting hard, Ryu focuses all of his remaining power while on his knees.
Ryu: Concentrate... I will NOT succumb to evil!
Ryu attains the Power of Nothingness.
"It's all or nothing now." Ruby said as everyone lean forward at Ryu who is about to unleash this form on Scorpion.
Scorpion slowly approaches to finish Ryu off.
Ryu: I walk the path of a true warrior.
Ryu focuses his power as he prepares to let loose one final blast. His eyes glowing, Ryu lets off one final warning to his foe.
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)
Ryu: THIS IS THE POWER OF MANKIND! SHINKU-HADOUKEN!
Ryu fires the Shinku Hadouken, a massive wave beam of pure energy at Scorpion, who makes no attempt to evade or block it. He is engulfed in the attack and is reduced to a standing, charred skeleton. Ryu falls to his knees, totally spent.
Ryu: I walk a path... with no end.
RWBY's jaws were dropped in amazement of the attack
"That. Was. AWESOME!" Ruby yelled at the special move.
"Because of that, that was a well deserved victory for Ryu." Yang commented and was satisfied that the fight was epic.
"That attack could take down a grimm dragon." Weiss said with awe while Blake was blown away by that attack.
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)
Suddenly, Scorpion's skeleton starts moving again, shocking Ryu and RWBY.
Scorpion: I will crush your bones!
With that said, he fires a huge flame at the completely exhausted Ryu, who can only do nothing but take the flame as he is incinerated by the attack, reducing him to a pile of ash. Scorpion then laughs.
K.O.!
"How is he still going?! He is nothing but a skeleton now! Weiss said in disbelief.
"I would not have seen that coming." Blake said wide eyed
"That would've scared me a little" Ruby said
Scorpion then turns into a penguin and lays an egg, which proceeds to explode and destroy Ryu's remains. The girls figured that since Scorpion is as ninja as well he follows the code of not leaving an opponant's remains behind if they have proven worthy meaning Ryu was worthy to Scorpion so they were all glad for that but were confused why Scorpion chose to be a penguin to do so.
Results
(*Cues: Mortal Kombat 9 - Shao Kahn's Throne Room*)
Boomstick: I'm no chef but that looks a bit overcooked.
Wiz: Ryu's Satsui no Hado and the Power of Nothingness were incredibly powerful, but raw power alone is not enough to destroy Scorpion.
"I thought the power of nothingness would've been more than enough." Weiss said surprised that not even Ryu's trump card was able to kill Scorpion.
Boomstick: Yet, Scorpion's advantage of already being dead didn't make this a cakewalk.
"If Scorpion was already dead then it was basically impossibe to kill him by conventional means in this fight." Blake said "That left Ryu with fewer options on being able to kill Scorpion." Wiess said
Boomstick: In fact Ryu had a perfect way to permanently end Scorpion: the soul-killing Raging Demon, but he could avoid the instant murder move, thanks to his awesome ninja skills and teleportation.
"So then Ryu's only hope of winning was to catch Scorpion with the Raging Demon." Ruby
"Yeah, but like it was said before moving targets are harder to hit let alone teleporting ones." Blake said
Wiz: Not to mention Ryu has very little experience actually using the Raging Demon anyway.
"So he didn't use it often enough to know to wait until the perfect time to use it." Weiss said "Because he always have been fighting off subcumbing to the Satsui No Hado." Blake replied.
But most importantly, Scorpion's strength increases the longer he remains in the Netherrealm, with no defining limit. Once trapped in hell with Scorpion, Ryu stood little chance in the long run.
"It's true since all Scorpion had to was wait until his increasing power ended up overwhelming Ryu." Ruby said
Boomstick: Zero chance if Scorpion just upped and teleported him into a pool of lava, which he could totally do.
"Then why didn't he do that right away? Infact why doesn't he just do that right away in all his fights? Weiss questioned.
"Because it wouldn't make him much of a badass if he fought his battles that way." Yang said while RWB agreed to that logic.
Boomstick: Scorpion was just too hot to handle.
Yang laughed at the pun while the others groaned in annoyance
Wiz: The Winner is Scorpion.
RWBY cheered for Scorpion as well as Ryu for doing his best as they like both of them.
"Alright, one more episode tonight, who is it gonna be?" Ruby asked
They see two masked highly skilled and armed mercenaries that look similar to eachother except the mask on one of the mercenaries only has one hole for the eyes to see through as if that said man is missing an eye.
Deadpool VS Deathstroke
While Ruby puts in the new disc they all of a sudden get a strange feeling about the one named Deadpool.
Okay their you have it, the next video. It actually took longer than I thought. I actually thought I would have two episodes up by now but good thing there is no rush right? I'm not sure I should I should devote all my free time to the chapters or keep a steady pace ans make sure I still have a still by going out some time cause summer is pretty much almost here and I have been going to the gym so why not show off my results? Any way I'll start working on the next chapter and get that out soon. I should think of a sign out call. So any way take care.
