RWBY will dive into Playstation history as they learn about Crash and Spyro, Playstation's original mascots. These mascots will battle it out in RWBY's big screen.
(Cues: Wiz & Boomstick - Brandon Yates)
Wiz: The early 1990's played host to one of the biggest battlegrounds the world had ever seen, the console wars.
Ruby and Yang were excited at the sound of this. Both love to play video games, especially with each other.
Boomstick: Nintendo and Sega's mascots were locked in a merciless duel over the gaming throne.
"Those consoles sound cool. I would love to get my hands on one of those," Ruby smiled.
Wiz: But when the smoke cleared, a surprise third challenger was rising to the top.
Boomstick: The Sony PlayStation, and it didn't have just one mascot, it had two.
RWBY was excited to see the mascots.
Wiz: Crash Bandicoot, the mutated marsupial from down under.
Boomstick: And Spyro the Dragon, the powerful purple hero of the dragon realm. 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.
"Okay! Let's see some cool video game abilities!" Ruby and her teammates were excited.
Wiz: Listen, I admire another brilliant doctor of science as much as the next guy, especially those with grand plans to take over the world, but I'm not sure Doctor Neo Cortex makes the cut.
"Oh boy. What kind of dumb things did this scientist do?" Weiss retorted while rolling her eyes.
Boomstick: Why not? He's an evil genius who made a mutant Aussie army of animals to take over the world.
"Didn't Dr. Eggman use animals to create an army of evil robots?" Ruby asked, briefly reminded of the old episode, Eggman vs Wily. Ruby felt sympathy for those poor animals.
Wiz: Sure, but when it came time to assign a general for this "army", Cortex chose, of all things, a bandicoot.
"What's a bandicoot?" Yang asked, scratching her head.
Boomstick: A bandi-what? You're making that up.
Wiz: It's a real animal, look!
(shows a picture of a real bandicoot)
RWBY squealed at how cute the animal was.
"So cute!" Weiss squealed.
"I want to pet one!" Ruby beamed.
"I've never even heard of faunus with animal characteristics of a bandicoot. What a cute little creature," Blake smiled.
"I'm so happy just looking at it. I wish I could get my hands on one," Yang grinned.
Boomstick: Aw, hey, it's kinda cute, how's that little thing gonna take over the world?
"Yeah! How?" Ruby giggled.
Wiz: With the Evolvo-Ray, Cortex did successfully mutate it into a powerful beast. However, when he tried to brainwash the creature, he utterly failed to create his fearsome general, instead, he got Crash Bandicoot.
"I find it silly how these scientists create their own worst enemies through their experiments. Talk about an embarrassing failure," Weiss shook her head.
Background:
Height: 5 ft | 1.5 m
Species: Eastern Barred Bandicoot
Nationality: Australia
Conservation Status: Endangered
Mutated by Drs. Neo Cortex & Nitrus Brio
Adopted by Aku Aku
Expert driver
Likes dancing and pancakes (Ruby: Nora would love this)
Boomstick: So, Cortex threw him out like trash, and Crash became his worst nemesis ever, which is super embarrassing, cause this bandi-Crash is a few snacks short of a barbie, but his physical abilities make up for it, he's got parkour skills like nobody's business.
Wiz: Which is appropriate, as bandicoots are excellent jumpers, similar to their marsupial cousin, the kangaroo.
"I've definitely heard of kangaroo faunus," Blake remarked.
Boomstick: He's got superhuman strength, and can take a big hit and just keep on going, like an energizer bunny of pain!
"That sounds oddly specific," Ruby thought out loud.
Wiz: Crash can double jump in mid-air, slide incredible distances, and use Crash Dash to boost his speed.
Skills:
Cyclone Spin
Crash Dash (Ruby's favorite)
Super Body Slam
Death Tornado
Rocket Jump
Mojo
Norris Roundhouse
Triple Dragon
Boomstick: He's also tapped into Mojo, a magical substance that's basically life energy, to enhance his battle techniques. He's got his Norris roundhouse and triple dragon, but his favorite move is the Cyclone Spin.
"I could use some mojo myself," Yang said with a smile. "I always look forward to enhancing my fighting skills all the time."
Popup: While Mojo is said to be the "essence of life itself", it may also contain nuts.
Wiz: He can even give this move a boost for the Death Tornado technique, though this can leave him dizzy and prone to counterattacks. Still, these brutal moves proved incredibly useful for rescuing his fellow mutant bandicoot girlfriend, Tawna.
Boomstick: Oh, why does she look like that? She's like, really hot, but also not at the same time, I'm really confused.
"Please, Boomstick. Enough of that garbage," Weiss groaned.
Wiz: Uh-huh, while Crash's natural abilities were enough to save her, his future battles with Cortex would require more sophisticated tools.
Arsenal:
Copter-Pack (Weiss thinks this is useful)
Jetpack
Glider
Jet Board
Firefly
Space Motorcycle (Yang's favorite)
Fruit Bazooka
Mech Suit (Ruby's favorite)
Boomstick: Yeah, like the rad Copter Pack, he's even got himself the unicorn of motorsports, the Space Motorcycle. What I wouldn't give for one of those...
"Space motorcycle?!" Yang was shocked. "Weiss, you don't happen to know if Atlas has equipment to build space motorcycles right?"
Weiss groaned. "Atlas has advanced technology, but not that advanced."
Yang signed. "My Bumblebee could've used a new makeover. What a shame."
Wiz: To increase his firepower, he carries a special bazooka that uses a naturally occurring and easily obtainable form of ammunition, Wumpa Fruit.
"Fruits? Why fruits?" Blake wondered.
Boomstick: The same kind of fruit shooter that's on his power loader suit from "Alien", er, uh, I mean, this completely generic looking mech.
"I would love to ride that mech. It looks so fun," Ruby replied with a smile.
Popup: In the Japanese release of Crash Bandicoot, Wumpa Fruit was actually referred to as apples.
Wiz: But why fruit? I can't imagine it's a particularly effective projectile.
"Fruit shouldn't be used as ammunition anyway. You're supposed to eat it. It's a healthy diet," Weiss advised.
Boomstick: I don't know, Wiz, remember that time I shot you with my potato gun? Ah, you were stuck in a coma for like, a month.
Ruby and Yang laughed. "Potato gun? That's just silly, even for me," Ruby replied.
Wiz: Wait, what? You told me I lost that month because my time travel wristwatch finally worked.
"Wiz. You should know better. This is Boomstick we're talking about," Weiss stated.
Boomstick: Oh, uh, heh, well, where's Crash getting all this cool tech? He can't be building it himself, he's pretty dumb.
Wiz: They're all thanks to his kid sister, Coco, who's ten times the inventor Cortex is, but Crash isn't really dumb, he just lacks communication skills, he actually shows many symptoms of autism. Some people with autism, known as savants, are extraordinarily gifted in particular skill sets, and I think that describes Crash perfectly. While he may not know how to hold a conversation, he is a superb athlete and puzzle solver.
"I never heard of autism before. Yang, did I have autism as a child?" Ruby asked.
"Huh?" Yang pondered at what Ruby asked. "I mean, you were very socially awkward and had a hard time making friends, but I never really have given that much of a thought. At least you're more open to people at your current age," Yang explained.
Ruby kept wondering. "Thank you, Yang," Ruby smiled. She'll think about it another day.
Boomstick: Well, I'm sure it helps that he's surrounded by friends who encourage his better traits.
(Crash lets off a belch)
Coco: Hey, that was a good one!
(Crash chuckles)
RBY smiled at Crash hanging out with his friends. Weiss is slightly annoyed by the belch.
Boomstick: Like Aku Aku, his magical mask foster dad who's basically a god. Lucky bastard.
Yang felt bad for Boomstick. She knew why Boomstick said that.
Wiz: Aku Aku's magical mojo prowess is quite impressive, he's very protective of Crash and will often step in when Crash is in trouble, but not always.
RWBY smiled at the mention of Aku Aku helping Crash. Yang thought that's how a parent should act.
Boomstick: Wiz, why can he teleport across dimensions on his own, but can't teleport Crash very far at all?
Aku Aku: This is as far as I can take us, we'll have to fight our way to the robot's interior and save your sister!
Wiz: Well, perhaps his fatherly intuition is kicking in, encouraging Crash to learn from his own mistakes and become his own man, er, bandicoot.
"Maybe," Ruby thought.
Boomstick: Yeah, maybe he's just being dick.
"Don't assume that. We don't know if that's why Aku Aku's power is limited," Blake said with a hint of annoyance. Yang was annoyed as well.
Popup: He can jack Titans because they are made of Mojo. He cannot jack other creatures.
Wiz: Well, thanks to Aku Aku and his own amazing abilities, Crash has performed some incredible feats while stopping Cortex's plans time and time again.
Feats:
Climbed Stormy Ascent
Withstood a 2 megaton crash (Yang laughed. She thought 'crash' was a pun.)
Outran a 25 mph bear
Threw an 8-ton boulder
Stunned a titan with one kick
Survived atmospheric re-entry
Defeated Cortex, Dr. N. Gin, Crunch Bandicoot, Tiny Tiger, Mecha-Bandicoot & Uka Uka
Boomstick: He's strong enough to lift his adopted brother Crunch over his head. Since Crunch is at least twice as big as Crash, that would mean Crash's strength is similar to the world's best powerlifter.
"I can lift heavier than that," Yang smirked.
Wiz: His Cyclone Attack can generate enough force to lift this large boulder and throw it so hard, it shatters on impact. Comparing its size to Crash, that boulder must weigh nearly eight tons.
"That's nice. I'm sure there is more impressive feats than that though," Weiss said.
Boomstick: He's also fast enough to outrun polar bears, which can move up to 25 miles per hour, but Crash really shines when it comes to durability, just look at how well he holds up after taking 112 falling wooden crates to the face.
"I'm kind of scared of the thought of 112 crates falling on me?" Ruby said, shocked by Crash's durability.
Wiz: Huh, where do they all come from?
Boomstick: I bet it's Aku Aku's fault, and he's right back up, like it didn't even happen, what a champ!
"Maybe the crates are part of a challenge or something," Blake retorted.
Wiz: Crash has endured an explosion of twenty-three crates of TNT all at once, which, given their size, could potentially level a city block, and with the help of Aku Aku, he even survived a crash landing from outer space.
Boomstick: What the heck is up with his hair?
Yang laughed. "I know right? But I like this hairstyle."
Wiz: This vessel was likely falling at 17,500 miles per hour, similar to the space shuttle's typical reentry, which means the force of its collision would be equivalent to more than two million tons of TNT.
"So many calculations. I'm having a hard time keeping up," Ruby scratched her head.
Boomstick: Wait, but why didn't Aku Aku just teleport them to safety?
"That's a good question actually," Weiss commented.
Aku Aku: I can't believe we're okay!
Boomstick: Oh, are you kidding me, Aku? You know what you did, er, didn't do! But what's the saying? "Any crash you can walk away from", right? Plus, given how easy it is for Crash's enemies to lure him into traps, his absurd durability is crucial.
"At least Crash can handle most crashes!" Yang punned. RWB groaned.
Wiz: Well, Crash isn't perfect, but with his amazing abilities, and a little bit of Mojo, he's saved the whole world many times over.
"He may not be perfect, but he's a hero," Ruby smiled.
Boomstick: And after years of this, he even finally learned how to speak.
RWBY focused their attention on Crash.
Coco: Now let's go home, and eat pancakes!
Crash: PANCAKES!
(He looks at the screen for a few seconds and smiles, fade to black)
Boomstick: Wait, that's it?!
"Crash only said that one line? I was expecting more," Weiss signed.
"Hey. At least Nora would approve," Ruby laughed lightly.
Crash may not be perfect, but he is a skilled fighter. Ruby likes Crash's many attacks. Weiss likes how Crash can use machinery and puzzle-solve. Blake likes his durability and the fact that he's an animal. Yang likes Aku Aku's assistance as well as the space motorcycle.
Spyro
Wiz: Prophecy tells of a special purple dragon born every ten generations, destined to be a hero of his age, this was the legend of Spyro. But, when the ancient dark master Malefor learned of this, he swore to destroy Spyro before he even hatched.
"Alright! Dragons! I love dragons! Let's learn more about Spyro!" Ruby was excited to see a dragon in Death Battle.
Boomstick: By the way, there are at least three different timelines for Spyro, but we're mainly sticking with the "Legend of Spyro" version because he can do pretty much anything the other ones can, and more. Plus, I think they're all the same Spyro reincarnated anyway since that's what the prophecy says, and look, that's totally Skylands being made at the end of Dawn of the Dragon.
"Interesting. Spyro must be very popular on Earth if he has different versions of himself," Blake commented.
Background:
Height: 4 ft | 1.2 m
Species: Purple Dragon
Nationality: Dragon Realm
Adopted by dragonflies (Ruby thought this was cute)
Adoptive brother to Sparx
Said to have A.D.D.
Trained by 4 Dragon Guardians
Reincarnated every 10 generations
Wiz: Ahem, wild fan theories aside, Spyro was saved from Malefor's wrath by Ignitus, a Guardian dragon. He decided to pull a Moses and send Spyro's egg floating down a river to who knows where. Okay, why do so many stories start with people just throwing babies into rivers? That's never a good idea!
"Yes. It is silly indeed. I keep hearing about these stories everywhere," Weiss stated.
Boomstick: Wrong, Wiz! It worked out fine for Spyro, he was found and adopted by a family of Dragonflies, and even without fellow dragons around, Spyro grew up to be a pretty good fighter. He's strong, tough, and makes good use of his horns, tail, and claws.
"But does he breathe fire?" Yang asked with curiosity.
Wiz: But not his wings, not yet. Without a dragon's parentage, Spyro remained mostly grounded during his childhood.
Popup: Although Spyro could not fly during his early years, he could glide for short periods of time.
"It's a start. Just like a baby bird learning how to fly over time as it grows. This could very well be a similar case," Blake retorted.
Boomstick: But he got pretty good at using his head, like, the fun way, not-not the brainy stuff, you do not wanna be on the other end of his charge attack.
"Now that's what I call using your head! Right guys?" Yang punned. RWB groaned again. Yang laughed at her own pun.
Wiz: But one fateful day, everything changed. During a game of hide and seek with his quote-unquote "brother", Sparx, they got into a bit of monkey business, and in desperation, Spyro unexpectedly breathed fire, this was Spyro's first hint that he was...
Ruby jumped in excitement. "A dragon!"
Wiz: (Gasps) Adopted!
Ruby gazed at the video. "Um. Yeah. But he's also a dragon!"
Boomstick: Hold up! You mean he thought he was an actual dragonfly the whole time? I can think of a few other hints, like, uh, I don't know, any time he saw his reflection!
"For once, Boomstick made a valid point," Weiss stated.
Wiz: This "revelation" prompted Spyro to go on a journey in search of his true home among other dragons, oh, and Sparx tagged along to help find treasure and protect his dragon brother from harm.
Ruby and Yang smiled as they saw Sparx travel beside Spyro. It reminded them of their close relationship as siblings.
Magic:
Breath
Fire (Yang's favorite)
Ice (Weiss's favorite)
Lightning
Earth
Elemental Furies
Aether
Light
Dark
Dragon Time
Boomstick: Not like he needed it, he's the chosen one, bitch! He's got a bunch of awesome dragon powers!
"Come on! Show us those awesome dragon powers!" Ruby demanded.
Wiz: As a purple dragon, Spyro was not limited to just his fire breath, after finding and rescuing four great dragon guardians, they each became his teachers in the arts of elemental combat.
"Elements huh? You have my attention," Weiss remarked.
Boomstick: Ignitus taught Spyro how to control fire and focus it into huge blasts. Volteer showed him how to use electric breath to stun enemies and toss them through the air. Cyril taught him to freeze foes solid and fire ice shards, and Terrador showed him how to use earth breath to split rocks and...roll up into a ball.
"Spyro has variety. That's useful for many kinds of scenarios," Blake pointed out.
Skills:
Flight
Claw Combos
Air Launch
Wing Shield
Charge
Stun Charge, Comet Dash, Ibex's Wrath
Dragon Kata (RWBY was fascinated by the many options)
Horn Jab, Slide, Toss, Tail Hammer, Swipe, Stab, Chi Wings, Punch, Roar
Wiz: Spyro also honed his physical and chi combat with the martial art of Dragon Kata. Oh, and he finally learned how to fly!
Boomstick: 'Bout time!
"I told you. Give Spyro time to develop," Blake said.
Wiz: Speaking of which, Spyro learned how to briefly slow down time to improve his reactions.
"So many powers," Ruby awed.
Boomstick: Oh, damn! But all of this led to Spyro learning the ultimate element: the Convexity breath!
Wiz: Aether.
Boomstick: Convexity.
Wiz: Its Aether.
Boomstick: No, stupid! everyone calls it convexity!
Ruby and Yang were laughing at the exchange between Wiz and Boomstick. Blake thought it was amusing.
"I'm confused. Which one is it already? These dolts make the analysis so hard to comprehend sometimes," Weiss said while crossing her arms, annoyed.
Popup: Convexity is the name of the dimension that bridges the Dragon Realm with the Dark Realms.
Wiz: Okay, purple dragons like Spyro can use a mysterious energy, that is essentially the spiritual life force of the universe. While it's never officially named in canon, lead concept artist Jared Polin has gone on record to clarify its name and properties, and he calls it Aether. Eat that, Boomstick!
Boomstick: Don't convex me, Wiz! True fans know I'm right.
"Seriously. Cut it out already. Just tell me the name of the element already," Weiss said, getting more irritated.
"Let's just call it Aether. Wiz is usually right with his knowledge. And besides, Aether sounds better as a name," Blake responded.
Wiz: Aether is an extremely powerful element which binds the fates of the living and the dead. With Aether, Spyro pulls from the four elements to create energy which, according to Polin, has power comparable to that of an atom smasher.
Boomstick: Isn't that the thing that shoots an atom around at light speed for all sorts of sciencey stuff?
"Yes. Please explain. I'm confused by all of this science stuff," Ruby requested.
Wiz: Yes. They're particle accelerators with a moving photon beam containing 362 megajoules of energy.
Boomstick: Yeah, I said that.
Wiz: This beam can slice through a human skull in a nanosecond, just like what happened to Russian scientist Anatoli Bugorski when he stuck his head in one of them.
RWBY pictured an image of a sliced skull as a result of the beam. RWBY was disgusted by it.
"Oh my dust. I think I'm going to be sick," Weiss replied weakly.
Boomstick: Why the hell would he do that?! God, being Russian must be hard.
"That sounded very discriminatory," Blake said, irritated. She doesn't tolerate discrimination, even if its used for jokes.
Wiz: Bugorski took a beam less than a molecule thick through the skull, which obliterated all matter in its path in an instant. While he survived, half of his face around the microscopic hole in his head swelled, peeled apart and was permanently paralyzed. While he experienced the blinding light he described as "brighter than a thousand suns."
"I think I had enough of the sliced skull. Please move on to something else," Weiss pleaded.
Sparx: Hey, Spyro. What was that about?
Spyro: I don't really know. I just felt like I had to hit it, and when I did, the power of a thousand suns surged through my body!
"What a coincidence!" Ruby giggled.
Popup: Spirit Gems and the crystals that house them are made up of the Aether and are described as "a gift that empowers [dragons] with the spirits of the past."
Boomstick: Just imagine if that beam was the size of Spyro's super breath! No, wait, you don't need to! We've seen what it's like when he killed the Ape King!
"That sounds super strong! I love it!" Yang exclaimed.
Wiz: Of course, Spyro's Aether powers have other uses, as well, such as curing his fellow dragon Cynder of Malefor's corruption.
"I like that power. I wonder if it's possible to free the grimm from corruption," Ruby wondered.
Boomstick: Is he shooting ghosts at her?! What kind of magic were they smoking when they came up with that?!
"I don't think it's dumb at all," Blake stated.
Wiz: But Aether is dependent on a balance between light and dark. Should a purple dragon fall prey to their own anger and hatred, they risk being consumed by Dark Aether or Nether. Transforming into a blackened, rage-filled form.
"Oh. Spyro looks kind of scary in that form," Ruby replied.
Boomstick: Spyro's a really nice guy, but as Dark Spyro, he lets loose! He's stronger, faster and way more violent!
"Even I'd think twice before using something like that. I always welcome more power, but I would be worried if I became violent up to the point of losing complete control," Yang stated. RWB understood what Yang was talking about.
Wiz: Unfortunately, when Spyro is consumed by Dark Aether, he cannot return to his old self on his own, but with friends like Sparks and Cynder at his side, he's always found his way back.
Ruby flashed a big smile at this. She is a fan of friendship.
Boomstick: (singing) Through the power of love... (does air guitar) Right, Spyro?
Spyro: You gotta believe! Heh heh!
RWBY chuckled at Spyro's response. They thought Spyro was cute as he is powerful.
Feats:
Mastered 5 elements (Weiss was impressed)
Pushed a statue twice his size
Withstood a 1.9 megaton hit
Flew faster than 159 mph (Ruby likes this accomplishment)
Matched a giant golem's strength
Rebuilt the planet with Aether (RWBY awed.
Defeated Ripto, Red, Dark Cynder, Gaul, Lava Golem & Malefor
Wiz: With all these powers at his claw tips, Spyro is a force to be reckoned with. He's pretty quick, outracing biplanes that can fly over 159 miles per hour.
"I love dragons, especially the fast ones!" Ruby fangirled.
Boomstick: He's pushed a gold statue about twice his size, and he's pretty tough, claiming his scales are impenetrable.
Spyro: So I'm electricity proof too? I knew my scales were impenetrable, but now this?
"You must be one tough dragon, Spyro!" Yang exclaimed.
Wiz: A bold claim, but let's look at the facts. Spyro once took a punch from this massive magma golem, which then lost its arm and replaced it with a cathedral tower. This cathedral is very similar in size to St. Stephen's Basilica, a Roman Catholic Church in Budapest, Hungary. By taking the height, length, and depth of the basilica, and adjusting for empty space, we can estimate the arm's mass to weigh over 400,000 tons. Assuming a low-end punching speed of fifty miles per hour, that of the average humans, the golem must have hit with at least 1.9 million tons of force.
"Spyro keeps getting more impressive," Weiss awed.
Boomstick: And after getting all these powers, saving the dragons, and defeating the dark master himself, Spyro tapped into Aether one last time, to literally pull the exploding planet back together! What?! How the hell?! How?!
RWBY's jaws dropped. They are speechless at the mention of a feat like that.
Wiz: I'd say a mix of the power of love, magic of friendship and a smidgen of prophetic destiny.
Boomstick: Wiz, I want a pet dragon more than anything.
"Me too. I especially want Spyro to be my pet dragon. If nothing else, I can at least meet a dragon faunus in person. Blake, do you know if dragon faunus exist?" Ruby asked.
"I don't think so, Ruby. Sorry," Blake responded.
Ruby signed in disappointment.
Spyro: It's a sad sight, Sparx. Another noble warrior falls victim to the plague of love. Just look away.
Spyro just might be the coolest and strongest dragon in Death Battle yet. Ruby likes Spyro because he's a fast dragon with many abilities. Weiss likes his elements, especially ice. Blake thinks the concept of Aether is interesting. Yang likes Spyro because he's a dragon, he's powerful, and he can breathe fire.
"I actually like both of them a lot. I would love to play their respective video games as well. I can't really choose though," Ruby retorted.
"Spyro seems more impressive overall. He has elemental powers at his disposal. Not to mention his strength, durability, and speed," Weiss said.
"Spyro also has his dark form. That form enhances all of his stats. Of course, the only drawback being that he loses control when he uses it," Blake stated.
"Yeah. It kind of sounds like a curbstomp in Spyro's favor if you ask me. Maybe Crash will surprise us all if he can figure this puzzle out," Yang shared her thoughts. "But enough of all that. Let's watch this already!" She paused for a moment before remembering something. "And the fight better show the space motorcycle!"
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
(*Cues: Off-Brandicoot - Brandon Yates*)
Crash is seen jumping on crates, smashing them. Crash bounces repeatedly on the last two boxes before he falls down face first. Spyro shows up and questions the silly scene.
Ruby, Blake, and Yang laughed at this scene.
"Well, he is pretty dumb," Weiss put her hands on her hips.
Ruby sighed. "Weiss, that's just rude." Weiss rolled her eyes.
Spyro: Weird. Uh, what are you doing?
Sparx appears and surrounds Crash. Crash claps and kills Sparx. Spyro is horrified at this, as well as RWBY.
"No! Not the dragonfly!" Ruby exclaimed in horror.
"You mean Sparx," Blake said, horrified as well.
Spyro: SPARX! Noooo!
(Cues: Crash And Burn - Brandon Yates)
Spyro is angry and charges at Crash. Crash does the same. Both collide head-on.
"Understandable. I mean, Crash killed his adopted brother," Yang said. She wouldn't want anything to happen to her little sister. Ruby wouldn't want anything to happen to Yang either. They are such close siblings.
FIGHT!
Spyro slashes at Crash. Crash dodges and uses a Cyclone Spin. Spyro is pushed back.
Spyro: Alright.
Crash dances in glee.
"Already arrogant, I see," Weiss stated.
Spyro: You asked for it!
Spyro breathes fire at Crash. Aku Aku appears and guards Crash from the flames before vanishing.
"At least Aku Aku is there to protect him, like any good parent would. Seriously, what was Boomstick's deal with Aku Aku, anyway?" Yang said, annoyed by Boomstick's insults earlier on.
"Boomstick's father abandoned him, remember? It was probably envy that caused him to act like that. Envy that Crash has a father figure and he didn't," Blake clarified.
Yang signed. "You're right, Blake,"
Crash runs up a mountain and charges at Spyro in mid-air. Spyro makes a fiery explosion and sends Crash to the ground. Crash runs away from Spyro's fireballs.
"Why is Crash running away? He needs get back there and fight," Weiss facepalmed.
Crash notices the Mech Suit and runs to it.
"It's the Mech Suit!" Ruby yelled in excitement.
Crash gets in the Mech Suit and fires a Wumpa Fruit at Spyro, who avoids it.
Spyro: Wait a sec, was that a fruit?
"You know, Spyro would probably tank the fruit. It's not like fruit is deadly or anything," Blake said. RWY agreed with Blake's point of view.
Crash shoots more Wumpa Fruits while Spyro retaliates with fireballs and Electricity Breath. Crash is near a cliff's edge.
"Oh oh," Ruby said.
Spyro uses Ice Breath to freeze the Mech Suit. Spyro turns into a boulder and charges at Crash, knocking him off the edge.
"Nice strategy, Spyro. Using ice to stall your opponents and using another deadly element afterwards is always a good strategy," Weiss said, admiring Spyro's Ice Breath once again.
Spyro: Woohoo! Strrrrike!
Crash flies up with a Copter Pack. Yang was disappointed that it wasn't a space motorcycle.
Spyro: Where do you keep finding these things?
RWBY laughed as they thought it was humorous how Crash keeps finding gadgets in random areas.
Crash impacts Spyro multiple times. Spyro channels Dark Aether, transforming him into Dark Spyro.
Dark Spyro: I'm done with this!
"Looks like Spyro had enough of Crash's crazy tricks," Blake said in concern.
Dark Spyro destroys the Copter Pack. As Crash falls toward the ocean, he smirks and relaxes.
"Oh! Is he gonna summon the space motorcycle?" Yang hoped.
Dark Spyro flies below Crash and unleashes a Dark Aether Breath. Aku Aku appears and fires a beam back to protect Crash. Spyro's breath proves stronger as it disintegrates Crash and Aku Aku, killing them both. RWBY cringed as they saw Crash disintegrate. Dark Spyro flies to a cliff.
Dark Spyro: Nobody, messes with me, pal!
Dark Spyro flies off.
KO!
Results
(Cues: Crash And Burn again)
Boomstick: I don't think Aku Aku's gonna pull Crash from the grave after that.
"But what about Spyro? How is he gonna change back to his regular form? With Sparx dead, Spyro is stuck as Dark Spyro," Ruby wondered.
Wiz: Spyro had plenty of obvious advantages. His speedy flight let him control the pace of the battle, and his elemental arsenal gave him a much wider variety of attacks than Crash had ever seen in a one-on-one fight. Even with his extraordinary puzzle-solving skills, Crash was simply overwhelmed, but surprisingly, this wasn't nearly as one-sided as it looked on paper.
"Really? It felt like a curbstomp to me," Yang commented.
Popup: Crash could not jack Spyro, because it only affects creatures made of Mojo.
Boomstick: With the strength to throw an eight-ton boulder, Crash was actually stronger than Spyro, and both of them had survived impacts worth around two millions tons of force. How convenient. It's almost like they planned this all along!
"Well. If they planned it all along, then why compare their durabilities?" Weiss rolled her eyes.
Wiz: To be fair, we did have to lowball Spyro's durability against the golem's punch. However, both of them had shown durability which far exceeded much of their attack capability.
Boomstick: So even with his gadgets, Crash really didn't have a good way to hurt Spyro very much, but the funny thing is, Spyro didn't have many attacks that could firmly hurt Crash, either. They were both just too tough.
"It sounds like a stalemate to me," Blake commented.
Wiz: Well, until Spyro used the Aether Breath, which could literally break matter apart at an atomic level. Not even Aku Aku could save Crash from a beam that intense.
"That's it? The Aether Breath is what gave Spyro the victory?" Weiss said, unimpressed.
Popup: Even Aku Aku has been defeated/overpowered by forces far weaker than Spyro's Aether.
Boomstick: I guess Crash just couldn't spin this one.
Yang laughed. RWB groaned. "That's the most boring, dullest one yet," Weiss signed.
Wiz: The winner is Spyro the Dragon.
"That was a fun fight. It was pretty funny too," Ruby smiled.
"It was goofy alright, but I liked it," Weiss said, heading to her bed.
"I'm disappointed that the space motorcycle didn't show up," Yang signed.
"I love video games. The cool thing about them is that they're many different kinds of them. Kind of like Death Battle. There are many different kinds of fighters in Death Battle," Ruby giggled as she picked up a disc from the Death Battle box.
"Yes there are. If you don't mind, I would like to try out some of your RPG games one day," Blake told Ruby and Yang.
"Of course, Blake! I'll teach you the ways of being a video game player. I'm an expert in video games," Yang smiled.
"We should all play video games as a team one day. It's gonna be fun," Ruby beamed.
Ruby and her team went to sleep. Ruby dreamed about visiting the Earth with Weiss, Blake, and Yang. She would get her hands on some gaming consoles and play all the video games the Earth had to offer. She smiled at this possibility. "Good night, everyone."
