Yang has always been a fan of boxing. So when she realized what the next battle was going to be about, she got very excited. Ruby started the video.
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)
Boomstick: Thousands of years ago, one Greek guy punched another Greek guy, and then they just turned it into a sport.
Yang was curious about what Boomstick said.
Wiz: Indeed, boxing is one of the oldest Olympic sports, and has since been refined and perfected over nearly 3,000 years.
"Boxing? I always wanted to see boxing in Death Battle!" Yang was very excited.
Boomstick: And today, we're pitting two of gaming's toughest boxers head-to-head.
Wiz: Balrog, the crazy buffalo from Street Fighter.
Boomstick: And TJ Combo, the hard-hitting champ from Killer Instinct. 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.
Balrog
(*Cues: Balrog Theme - Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix*)
Wiz: Boxer. Gambler. Cheater. Heavyweight champ Balrog has been called many things. "Merciful" was never one of them.
"He looks menacing," Ruby retorted.
Background:
Height: 6'4" | 193 cm
Weight: 298 lbs. | 135 kg
Born: September 4, 1968
Nickname: "Crazy Buffalo"
Boxing Style: Slugger (Yang heard about this style)
Likes: Gambling, bourbon, winning
Dislikes: Fish, math, effort
Former Heavyweight Champion
Boomstick: Hard to blame him, given his rough upbringing. Born and raised in a ghetto neighborhood, the young brawler to be had one goal: to leave his poor family and taste that sweet, sweet American dream. You know, the boozing, gambling, and womanizing kind of dream!
"Of course. Poor life choices are being made once again," Weiss crossed her arms.
Wiz: A brute at heart, Balrog learned early on that he had a gift for roughing others up. A gift which he soon turned into a professional boxing career.
Boomstick: Does that really surprise anyone, though? I mean, look at the guy! His skin can barely even contain his own muscles!
"Darn! That's impressive," Yang commented.
(*Cues: Theme of Balrog - Street Fighter V*)
Wiz: At 6"4 and 298 pounds, Balrog is a monster. Compared to real-life boxers, Balrog would be the second largest heavyweight champion in the entire history of the sport.
"It's crazy how fiction can sometimes incorporate exaggerated stats in their characters," Blake commented.
Boomstick: Talk about a beast! He makes good use of that size and strength, as he specializes in slugger style boxing.
"Alright. Slugger style," Yang leaned forward.
Wiz: Out of the four generally accepted styles of boxing, sluggers are the most straightforward. They sacrifice mobility and finesse in favor of unwavering perseverance and terrifying brute force.
"I think that style suits your brute force, Yang," Blake said.
"I like to think that as well," Yang responded.
Techniques:
Turn Punch
Dash Straight
Dash Upper
Buffalo Headbutt
KKB (Evasion technique)
Super Moves (Yang likes the names)
Gigaton Blow
Dirty Bull
Crazy Buffalo
Boomstick: And Balrog embodies this style to a tee! Sluggers are great at taking lots of hits without going down, and then KOing their opponents with just a couple big punches. In Balrog's case, his Dashing punches let him come in swinging. His Screw Smash uppercut is so brutal, it can power through other attacks. But Balrog's strength REALLY shines with his famous Gigaton Blow, or with his incredibly deadly Turn Punch... if he's able to hit anything with it, that is. The longer he tenses his arm up for, the more powerful the move gets.
"Note to self. I need charge up my punches more often," Yang said.
Wiz: While all these moves are fair game in the rules of boxing, fairness is the last thing Balrog cares about.
"He's a cheater then?" Ruby asked.
(*Cues: Balrog Theme - Super Street Fighter IV*)
Boomstick: Damn! This friggin guy is crazy! I mean, really, look at those eyes! That's the same look old grandpappy Boomstick had every time he came home with some fresh poultry dinner. 'Til the damn chickens got him...
"I'd rather not know what happened," Weiss frowned.
Wiz: Unfortunately, his victory was short-lived, when he returned to the ring, he ended up killing his opponent. With his career ruined, Balrog returned to the life of gambling, booze, and women.
RWBY gasped. Balrog killing someone is pretty serious.
Feats:
M. Bison's right-hand man
Flipped a car while possibly being influenced by Pandora
Killed an elephant with one punch (RWBY groaned sadly)
Survived a 1,272-foot fall
Staggered Zangief
Defeated Necalli, Bernardo, & Jumbo Flapjack
Boomstick: Man, he got to kill a guy and drink all day? Talk about living the life! But B-Rog wasn't done flexing his fighting skills, he joined the crime syndicate Shadaloo, and basically punched his way up to become its founder's right-hand man, and who wouldn't want someone as rough and tough as Balrog at their side?
"Not me. He's crazy," Weiss replied.
Wiz: Especially since he's so strong, he once killed an elephant with just one punch. See this one? His name's Kudal, Balrog killed his best friend.
RWBY was shocked by this. "How could he do that? That's animal cruelty," Ruby cried out. Her teammates agreed.
Boomstick: Good, frigging elephants had it coming for years, never shut up! And someone always loses on Dhalsim's stage!
"Oh. Shut up, Boomstick! I just had about enough of you," Weiss shouted.
(*Cues: Volcanic Rim Opening Version - Street Fighter IV*)
Wiz: Elephants commonly use their skulls to knock down trees, meaning they can withstand a force of at least 10,000 pounds. The strongest punch ever recorded comes from heavyweight champ, Frank Bruno, with a force of 1,420 pounds, a dangerous amount of strength, to be sure, but still only one-seventh of Balrog's potential.
"Like I said. Exaggerated stats," Blake commented.
Boomstick: But Balrog wouldn't be a true slugger if he couldn't take a beating. He battled the sumo wrestler E. Honda, and the two fell off a cliff, and they both survived!
"See you next fall!" Yang teased.
Wiz: We know this fight takes place in Thailand, and on a cliff overlooking the river, this area is very similar to the northern Kwai Yai river, which can be more than 300 feet wide. By comparing that to the with of the river as seen here, we can estimate the cliff to be 1,272 feet high.
Boomstick: But while Balrog may have the raw power of a slugger, he's got all the downsides that come with it, too.
"Boxing styles have their flaws too," Yang pointed out.
Wiz: A smart enough opponent could potentially predict and counter his attacks, this is how he lost to other Street Fighters like Dudley and Alex.
Boomstick: Yeah, he's not the brightest shed in the tool, if you know what I mean.
"You said that wrong, you dolt," Weiss blankly said.
Wiz: Tool in the shed.
Boomstick: You're a tool!
Weiss put her hands on her hips. "Don't try to insult me!"
Boomstick: After Shadaloo's head honcho was defeated, Balrog got a promotion and ran the whole crime syndicate himself, until he ran the whole organization into the ground.
"He's too mentally unstable to be in charge," Blake retorted.
Wiz: Probably a few too many blows to the head.
Boomstick: But hey, we're not here to test his management skills. Balrog has been out of the ring for years, but today, he's here to show he's still got what it takes to win. At the end of the day, you've gotta respect the crazy buffalo.
"I don't. He killed a poor elephant," Ruby moaned.
Balrog: I can almost smell the money now. If I can pull this off, I'll be on easy street forever.
Balrog certainly lives up to his name of Crazy Buffalo. While the RWB in RWBY admired some his moves, Yang was deeply intrigued and hopes to perform some of those moves herself.
TJ Combo
(*Cues: Killer Instinct - Main Theme*)
Boomstick: (Announcer voice) Standing 6" 1 and weighing 220 pounds, TJ Combo is the definition of a champion.
"Man. For a boxer, he looks great," Yang smiled.
Background:
Real Name: Tyler-Johnson Garrett
Height: 6'1" | 185 cm
Weight: 220 lbs | 100 kg
Age: approx. 45
Boxing Style: Out-boxing (Yang likes this style)
Used cybernetic arm enhancements (Yang was interested)
Trained with Maya
Once wore an eyepatch
Wiz: But he didn't start out that way. Born to a poor family on the Texas coast, Tyler-Johnson Garrett was in for a rough road to fame and glory. TJ didn't have much, but he did have boxing.
"At least TJ had something to hold onto. It's important to have at least one thing you like to do," Blake spoke.
Boomstick: TJ's dad trained him to box, and he joined a Junior League when he was 12 years old, where he promptly lost.
Wiz: But instead of learning from his mistakes and trying again the next year, TJ replaced the padding in his glove with a roll of quarters and got his revenge with one savage blow. If he learned anything that day, it was only how good it felt to win.
"Oh my goodness. That's so cruel," Ruby retorted sadly.
Boomstick: Well, the Junior League didn't exactly agree, so they kicked him out. For the rest of his childhood, he was in and out of trouble. But unwilling to give up, TJ eventually took what little he owned to start a new life at a boxing gym in Chicago...as a janitor. Hey, you gotta start somewhere.
"That's true, Boomstick. You gotta start somewhere," Blake stated.
(*Cues: Yo Check This Out! - Killer Instinct*)
Wiz: TJ's love for boxing never died. Every dollar he earned was spent on boxing lessons, every spare minute studying legends like Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali.
"That reminds me. I have to continue to research boxing. I need to enhance my battle techniques," Yang stated.
Boomstick: You could say he was really "cleaning it up in the ring". Until he finally got a shot at the Heavyweight Championship.
Wiz: Like his hero, Ali, TJ fights using an Out-Boxer style, staying outside an opponent's reach with evasive maneuvers and taking advantage of missed swings.
"That sounds like strategic boxing," Weiss replied.
"It is, Weiss. I have to get into Out-Boxer style more often," Yang responded.
Boomstick: And TJ's go to attack is his mighty Powerline. Wait a minute...isn't that the band from "A Goofy Movie"?
Wiz: No.
RWBY was interested in this movie.
Techniques:
Powerline
Shoot Toss
Tremor
Vortex Punch (Yang: That sounds cool)
Flying Knee
Back Step (Juke)
Last Breath
Boomstick: Aww. It's a straight punch that knocks even the toughest opponent backward. His Tremor Punch is a flying overhand attack that can hit the ground so hard, it creates a shockwave that knocks people off their feet. And he can even send them skyward with his Vortex Uppercut.
"I need to learn those moves!" Yang was enthusiastic.
Wiz: But his fighting style goes beyond mere punches, his Flying Knee is good for aggressively closing in on opponents, and his Shoot Toss sets them up for his famous combos.
"That sounds very beneficial," Blake said.
Boomstick: That's where he got the nickname "TJ Combo".
Wiz: Is that how you got your nickname, Boomstick?
Boomstick: Nickname? What in the hell are you talking about?
Weiss facepalmed. "Even to this day, I fail to understand why anyone would name their child 'Boomstick.' Preposterous."
Wiz: Oh, never mind. Through years of hard work and dedication, TJ eventually won the heavyweight championship.
"I admire TJ's resolve," Blake smiled.
(*Cues: A Warrior's Journey - Killer Instinct (2013)*)
Wiz: At last, fame, fortune, and glory were in his hands, and then they all went to his head. TJ got lazy, blowing his prize money on parties.
"What's with these people and parties?" Weiss asked.
Boomstick: Good for him.
Weiss groaned.
Wiz: And ignoring his training until he lost the title.
"Awww. That's sad," Ruby said.
Boomstick: Aw, shoot, man, this poor guy just can't keep it together, can he?
"I know right?" Ruby replied.
Wiz: That's when the world dominating mega corporation Ultratech, aka evil Walmart, offered TJ an experimental surgical procedure to put him back on top.
Boomstick: And TJ remembered the lesson he learned long ago: If all else fails, just cheat shamelessly.
"And he was on good tracks too," Blake signed.
Wiz: Ultratech fused titanium implants into TJ's arms, drastically increasing his striking power. Within six months, TJ won his title back, and held it for twenty years, but Ultratech wanted a favor in return.
"Arm implants, huh? That sounds interesting," Yang leaned forward to listen.
Boomstick: They waited twenty whole years to cash in the favor? Nobody's that patient.
"Right," Ruby said.
Wiz: Ultratech had a new product, a robot warrior they wanted to showcase in a battle against the boxing champ. They left TJ with one word of instruction: Lose.
Boomstick: But TJ smashed it to pieces in front of a live audience, because screw perfectly legal, long-term business contracts.
"Losing is just not an option. I'd do the same too," Yang grinned.
Wiz: In response, Ultratech exposed TJ for the cheater he was, and thus, he was banned from boxing, again! But this time, TJ refused to go out in disgrace.
"I hope TJ keeps his act together.
Boomstick: So he ripped the metal right out of his arms with his bare hands. Like a badass!
"Cool," Yang silently replied. Her teammates dropped their jaws.
(*Cues: The Instinct - Killer Instinct (2013)*)
Wiz: Or a complete idiot, but by some extreme luck, Ultratech experimentation left him with a minor healing factor, which ensured his arms weren't ruined forever. What's more, he also learned he could enter a berserker mode, which enables him to move and punch faster when in desperate situations.
"Wish I had a berserker mode," Yang fantasized.
"Your semblance is not enough, Yang?" Blake crossed her arms. Yang laughed lightly.
Boomstick: Well, robo arms or not, TJ is one impressive fighter, his punches can launch heavy enemies like Fulgore over thirteen feet into the air, and holding the championship for twenty years is way longer than the world record.
(*Cues: I'm Back (to Rise) - Killer Instinct (2013)*)
Wiz: Currently, the longest held heavyweight title belongs to Joe Louis, whose reign lasted eleven years, eight months, and eight days. TJ defended his title for nearly twice that length.
"TJ Combo! Boxing champion!" Ruby announced while giggling.
Feats:
Held Heavyweight title for 20 years
Survived tearing his cybernetics out (RWBY was still shocked)
Survived a 1,162-foot fall
Helped save the world from Gargos
Defeated Fulgore, Riptor, Spinal, & Orchid
Beat Fulgore Mk 02 w/o implants
Boomstick: Plus, TJ's got plenty of experience outside the ring, without implants, he's defeated the secret agent, Orchid, the upgraded warbot Fulgore mark II, and killed multiple Ultratech super dinosaurs! That's right, this is a boxer who kills frickin' velociraptors on the regular.
Ruby and Yang had stars in their eyes.
Wiz: And he's obviously very resilient to pain, like when he survived jumping out of an Ultratech skyscraper, based on the amount of time it takes other unfortunate visitors to fall from the top floor, this building must be 1,162 feet tall.
"More high jumps. I bet I can do those two," Yang said.
Boomstick: But we all know this boxing champ never had a perfect record, he lost fights to Glacius, the ice alien, and twice was outmatched by squads of Ultratech super soldiers.
Wiz: Also, while TJ's Out-Boxer style is quick and resilient, it can be overwhelmed by an aggressive enough opponent, if he gets overconfident, he's sure to lose an important fight sooner rather than later.
"I wonder if this will become a problem against Balrog," Weiss pondered.
Boomstick: But since being outed, he's determined to prove his skill is all natural, it's gonna take a lot to bring down a champion like TJ Combo.
TJ: And don't think for a moment that I'll let anything get in my way, cause if you give me that moment, I'll win!
TJ Combo is ready to prove that he's the real boxing champion. Ruby and Weiss likes the Out-Boxer style better than the Slugger style. Blake was glad that TJ was able to keep it together and help do good in the end. Yang looks up to TJ as her new favorite boxer and hopes to learn some of his moves.
"I'm so hyped for this battle!" I'm going to root for TJ. How about you, girls?" Yang was optimistic.
"Ruby and I agreed that TJ has this in the bag. His style of boxing is way smarter and efficient," Weiss voiced her opinion.
"Yeah!" Ruby cheered.
"I agree. And besides, TJ seems like the better person of the two boxers," Blake pointed out.
"I know. But let's watch this boxing tournament already! I'm excited!" Yang cheered as well.
Wiz: Alright. The combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!
Death Battle
Yang beamed. "That boxing ring looks so detailed! I love it!"
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen; Introducing our first fighter: He's big, he's crude and all rawhide-
(*Cues: STREET FIGHTER V : Ed Theme*)
Balrog appears.
Announcer: He's Balroooooog!
"They even have an announcer. I like the detail in this," Blake commented.
"What's this "Blue Apron" advertisement I keep seeing?" Ruby wondered as she looked at the ads in the boxing arena.
Announcer: Now for the challenger: a heavyweight champion with a shady history who's here to prove he can beat the best of the best even without awesome metal arms!
(*Cues: I'm Back (To Rise)- Killer Instinct*)
TJ Combo appears.
Announcer: He's TJ Comboooo!
"This fight is getting me hyped up! Just imagine me in a boxing arena. Everyone better cheer for me!" Yang exclaimed.
Both TJ and Balrog step into the ring and meet each other.
TJ Combo: Man, think you got what it takes to beat the champ?
TJ and Balrog punch their hands to each other.
Balrog: (laughs) You won't even make it to Round 2, wimp!
(*audio quality improves*)
Both boxers make poses before the announcer starts talking again.
"Go, TJ!" Ruby and Yang hollered.
Announcer: Here we go! Aaannnd...FIGHT!
Balrog gets the upper hand. He lands some hits on TJ.
Announcer: And Balrog starts strong and ferocious! Better stay out of his way, TJ!
After some more punching from both sides, Balrog punches TJ hard. TJ stumbles back.
"Balrog's raw strength is terrifying," Weiss pointed out.
Announcer: TJ's quick, but Balrog is clearly overwhelming him!
Balrog throws a dashing punch once TJ has gotten up, trapping him into a corner.
Announcer: JUST LIKE THAT, BALROG PUTS COMBO IN A CORNER! AND HERE HE COMES FOR THE FOLLOW UP! TJ IS NOT IN A GOOD SPOT!
"Come on, TJ! Retaliate!" Yang hollered.
Balrog punches TJ before TJ escapes the corner. He quickly reappears and punches Balrog to a corner.
"His Out-Boxer style taking a role," Blake said.
Announcer: Whoa, whoa! Wait a minute! Did TJ just turn this around?
TJ punches Balrog in the head. Balrog tries to aim some heavily charged punches on TJ, but TJ jumps and hits Balrog, sending him to the floor.
"That's like me punching the floor in Junior's place!" Yang happily retorted, having too much fun.
Announcer: INCREDIBLE! OUT OF NOWHERE, BALROG'S THE FIRST TO FALL!
Balrog gets up off the ground.
Balrog: *heavy breathing/growling* Annoying bastard... I'll break you like a rag doll!
"He's scary," Ruby replied nervously.
Before resuming their stances, the bell rings, and the holds his arms out, stopping the boxers.
Announcer: That's the bell, ending Round 1! Folks, it looks like Balrog clearly had the reign in this fight, but I'd say TJ proved he can give as good as he gets!
"Don't underestimate your opponent. That's all I'm saying," Weiss said.
The two sit in opposing corners of the ring, taking a breather.
Announcer: Moving into Round 2! I think this is too close to call!
The bell rings and the referee gives them the sign to begin fighting.
TJ Combo: Whatchu got, huh? Huh? HUH?
Both fighters exchange blows. This continues until Balrog uses a dirty move. He grabs TJ, headbutts him, steps on his foot, and knocks him over with a fist. The crowd boos at this move. Ruby and Yang booed at the dirty move too.
Announcer: A dirty move for Balrog.
The referee immediately tries to step in, only for Balrog to beat him down.
"That's illegal! Balrog should be banned from this fight!" Weiss criticized. RBY agreed with Weiss.
Announcer: Woah! That's not appropriate!
Balrog rips off his coat and tosses it outside of the ring as TJ regains his footing.
Balrog: Come on tiny. Just you and me!
TJ Combo: Bring it on, Asshole!
"Yeah! Bring it!" Yang bumped her fists together.
TJ grabs Balrog and slams him to the ground, unleashing his combos. Balrog retaliates by punching TJ in the air with his combo. TJ immediately uses his Combo Breaker.
KI Announcer: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
"I want to learn how to combo break too!" Yang awed.
Balrog is knocked backward.
Announcer: They won't stop! How long will this go!?
"It's a fight to the death. It makes me wonder if the audience in the background know about this," Blake wondered.
Balrog unleashes more punches as TJ dodges them. Balrog sweeps TJ off the floor and uppercuts him. TJ gets away from Balrog's stomp.
"Hey! No more cheating!" Ruby hollered.
Both boxers land heavy hits on each other, crumbling the ring due to their sheer power. Both charge at each other. TJ is left opened as Balrog uses his Gigaton Blow.
Balrog: You won't hear the full ten count! Why don't you go to hell!?
The cameras flash as TJ falls to the ground due to Balrog's Gigaton Blow.
"No way. Don't tell me it's all over," Yang leaned close.
Announcer: I can't believe it! Combo's down! This could be over...
Balrog approaches TJ.
Yang clenches her fists. "Come on TJ. Get up."
TJ punches the ground.
TJ Combo: I ain't done!
TJ enters his berserker mode.
Balrog: Wait, what?
"Berserker mode!" Ruby beamed.
"Yeah!" Yang shouted.
TJ dodges Balrog's punch.
Announcer: TJ's back up with his Last Breath!
TJ gets an advantage in speed, overwhelming Balrog. He breaks Balrog's right arm.
"Ouch. That's going to hurt a lot," Ruby gasped. WBY was shocked as well, especially Yang, who rubbed her right arm with her left hand.
TJ punches Balrog many times, further overwhelming Balrog. TJ unleashes a strong Vortex Punch, sending Balrog's head flying, killing him.
"That's even worse," Weiss added, shocked.
"But it's awesome!" Yang yelled.
Announcer: Holy Jumping Giblets! TJ Combo takes the title in an absolutely brutal fashion!
TJ walks away. Balrog's body falls down. The cameraman looks up, only to have Balrog's head fall on top of him.
RWBY gasped.
Announcer: Excuse me. I gotta hurl.
Yang laughed. "You lost, Balrog. Big deal. Don't lose your head over it!" She received no response from her teammates, who kept watching the video.
KO!
Results
(*Cues: Yo Check This Out - Killer Instinct again*)
Boomstick: Whoa-ho! It's just like Rock 'em-Sock'em Robots! Only, I don't think his head's getting reattached…
"Not even Remnant's finest doctors can bring him back." Weiss replied.
Wiz: This was an extremely close bout, in fact, both fighters were evenly matched in a lot of unexpected ways.
Boomstick: Being a slugger, Balrog was obviously used to having the strength advantage, but TJ actually had him matched.
"Wait. TJ is stronger than Balrog?" Ruby asked.
Wiz: Recall how Balrog killed an elephant, who's skull could withstand 10,000 pounds of force or 44,482 newtons. In comparison, TJ's Vortex Punch is capable of hitting opponents at a minimum of 13.4 feet into the air, even if they weigh as much as 550 pounds, like Fulgore. To launch something that heavy with just a punch, would require 44,820 newtons of force.
"Yeah. Math and stuff," Yang simply stated.
(*Cues: The End - Killer Instinct (2013)*)
Boomstick: Dang, that's close, and that's not even TJ's strongest punch. Even their ability to take hits were pretty similar, like Balrog falling off the cliff, or TJ jumping out of the Ultratech skyscraper, both of which were at similar heights.
Wiz: Luckily for TJ, analyzing real-life boxing trends revealed his inherent advantage over Balrog, the popular triangle theory of boxing, also called the "Rock-Paper-Scissors" theory, claims that sluggers, such as Balrog, naturally struggle against Out-Boxers like TJ.
"Yang. Have you ever heard of this theory?" Blake asked.
"No. I haven't," Yang answered.
Boomstick: Yeah, slugger punches are really strong, but they're predictable and require more energy, so a good Out-Boxer could just keep his distance, capitalizing on mistakes, and then wear the slugger down over time until the opportune chance for a knockout blow.
"I think being faster also helps," Ruby added.
Wiz: Obviously, it's called a theory for a reason, every boxer is different, however, when applied at a very fundamental level, the triangle theory holds weight.
Boomstick: Like when Ali took the title from slugger George Foreman in the famous "Rumble in the Jungle" by using those Out-Boxer tactics.
"Color me interested. I want to practice the Out-Boxer style," Yang grinned.
Wiz: And don't forget, TJ kept a heavyweight title for over twenty years, despite how closely matched their power and durability were, TJ's speed, tactics, and experience won the match by permanent knockout.
Boomstick: You could say TJ had the instinct for this fight, and it was a killer.
Yang laughed. "That's a good one!"
Wiz: The winner is TJ Combo.
TJ Combo: Yeah!
"That was a good fight. Did you guys see me bumping the air? I always wanted to see a boxing match like this one," Yang said.
"I liked the fight. I didn't think I was going to enjoy it that much. But I did," Blake said.
"Yeah! Who knew boxing matches would be so fun?" Ruby replied happily.
"Then this calls for a celebration! I'm going to practice some of TJ's moves now. I'll start with the Vortex Punch!"
"No! You'll ruin the room by recklessly punching about. And besides, it's time to sleep," Weiss warned.
"You can practice boxing at the local gym tomorrow, Yang," Ruby advised.
"Yeah. I guess I should. Thanks, lil sis," Yang remarked.
After the boxing tournament, RWBY went to sleep. Ruby dreamed about Yang picking up a career in boxing. Yang would become Remnant's newest boxing champion, standing pridefully with a smirk. Ruby smiled at the thought of her sister becoming a champion. "Good night, everyone."
