RWBY Watches Death Battle — REMASTERED — A RWBY fanfiction by epicvictory2025, remastered by FireballDragon
Prologue — No Address & Episode 1 — Boba Fett VS Samus Aran
Dragon's Notes: So. RWBY Watches Death Battle... Good idea, shoddy execution. It's kind of a shame that the original version got taken down by those stupid Critics United pseudo-mods or whatever. You can still find it on Wattpad or wherever, but still.
While I might have problems with other fanfiction vehemently enforcing ships or going against the original creators' intentions, I've no problem with unconventional formats like "commentary-based" fanfiction like this one.
But it's kinda disheartening that the writing was so poor.
So many run-on sentences, so much cyclical dialogue, so much telling and not enough showing! Seriously, every time they introduce a combat academy in one of the DB episodes, you don't have to have someone say "Like Beacon but without Dust, Aura, and Semblances," or whatever! You can just say "Like Beacon!"
Also, Yang and arguably Ruby might be exceptions, but I hardly believe that Weiss and Blake would use the word "ain't." Not to mention the gaps in punctuation and the clearly-rushed speed-typing. And that's just scratching the surface on the slipshod writing of the original version.
So I took it upon myself to not only re-upload this fanfiction as a form of protest, but polish it. Edit it. Remaster it. I'm going to upload every chapter I can, with better grammar and better writing, in the hopes that not only will old and new readers alike be able to read this creatively-conceived fanfiction, but also for others to see what to do and what NOT to do when writing in general, fanfiction or otherwise.
I hope you understand, and without further ado, let's begin.
Prologue – No Address
I own none of this. All copyright belongs to their respective owners.
Mistral. Atlas. Vacuo. Vale. The four kingdoms of Remnant. Four kingdoms destined to bring mankind to a greater, harmonious future. But the Grimm and White Fang are two of the many dangers things that forced the four kingdoms to train Man and Faunus alike to combat them.
Two weeks ago, four very special young huntresses named Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long did one of the most dangerous missions they assigned (with a bit of Ozpin's "help") themselves that nearly cost them their lives. Their mission was called "Search and Destroy."
True to the mission's name, they were assigned to search and destroy possible criminal hideouts and to be accompanied by a veteran hunter to support them who turned to be none other than the coffee-drinking, hyperactive, history-of Remnant-obsessed, Doctor Oobleck.
Ruby also brought along her and her sister's black corgi, Zwei. The four young heroes, their teacher and the dog headed to the once-glorious city in the Kingdom of Vale that got overrun by the Grimm and is now a haunted ruin that will forever be called Mountain Glenn.
Turns out, the abandoned city is the hideout where the evil and cunning criminal overlord named Roman Torchwick and the White Fang are residing at. They were putting together their latest plan: A train filled with bombs that will be used to attract the Grimm and lead them to the city of Vale.
RWBY, Oobleck and Zwei were able to get on the train and attempted to stop the train with no brakes. Despite their training, RWBY had underestimated what they were up against, nearly losing their lives in the process, but were thankfully lucky enough to survive by the skin of their teeth and reach Vale.
Afterwards, Team RWBY were able to hold off the Grimm until their friends Team JNPR (Jaune Arc, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren) were able to make it in time and give RWBY some backup.
Not long after, General Ironwood's robotic forces, Team CFVY (Coco Adel, Fox Alistair, Velvet Scarlatina and Yatsuhashi Daichi), the Beacon faculty of Oobleck himself, along with Glynda Goodwitch, Peter Port, and exchange student Cinder with her two teammates Mercury and Emerald, were all able to arrive to Vale and turned the tide in their favor.
They did it. They won. The Grimm that came to Vale were all eradicated (They just dissolve shortly after they die) from Vale. The ones that did survive retreated back into the tunnels from whence they came. Despite a few civilians getting injured, not a single life was lost and only a few million Lien in property damage. And in even better news, Roman is finally captured and put into custody. All the students of Beacon returned to celebrate. Everything seemed good and started going back to normal.
However, this is just the beginning.
Despite killing off the Grimm in Vale, RWBY are beginning to feel that it's not over just yet. Roman is in prison, but they all believe there are other villains hiding behind the curtains just waiting to reveal themselves. And they never truly solved everything they tried to. An incomplete victory, but not a bad one.
That was two weeks ago.
Now in the present...
(Friday)
It's a beautiful day at Beacon. Students were hustling and bustling around to get to their classes without being late. Inside one of the classrooms were none other than RWBY and JNPR, along with other students, taking yet another boring class that involves (Yet again) listening to their teacher's, Peter Port, tedious stories that are only about him and his "prey." Even Weiss and Pyrrha are getting quite tired of it.
Half of his tales for the past week are now starting to sound absurd and even downright made-up if he hasn't made them all up to begin with. Taking down an Ursa with one hand while grooming his mustache? Cracking a Death Stalker's armor with his fist? Killing a Beowulf just by staring at it!? Okay, this is starting to get ridiculous.
During Port's speech, RWBY and JNPR are trying to withstand his mind-numbing tales and think to themselves about what they've done for the past two weeks since they stopped the Grimm invading Vale.
JNPR has been doing quite well.
Jaune Arc has been improving his skills much faster than Beacon had earlier expected; his grades are improving, he's controlling his aura much better and thanks to Pyrrha's training, his skills with his sword and shield have greatly improved.
Pyrrha, whilst training with Jaune, has started to develop feelings for him, feelings she might have to confess sooner or later, because Jaune doesn't seem to realize it at all.
Ren and Nora are still the same, except the signs that they really do have feelings each other, despite claiming they're not "together" together, are slowly peeling away. It's only a matter of time.
RWBY hasn't changed one bit.
Ruby is still the same, naive, adorkable leader.
Weiss is still the same heiress to the Schnee Dust Company.
Blake is still the same girl who was once a member of the White Fang but is now trying to make the world a better place.
Yang is still that adventure-seeking blonde with the desire to kick ass and take names.
After class was dismissed, RWBY and JNPR went their separate ways. JNPR went to the training grounds to improve their skills while RWBY has their free time for the night. Even on weekends they still have to train. Ruby was walking alongside her teammates and thinking about their plans for the weekend, Weiss was polishing her nails, Blake had her nose in a book like usual and Yang was walking beside them, being her usual self.
As they headed to their dorm, Yang decided to break the silence
"So, what are our plans this weekend?" She asked.
Before anyone one could answer, they halted at the sight of something at their door.
A brown package sitting in front of the door with tape shutting the top of the box, strapped with appears to be an envelope.
That's odd. The mailman usually delivers on Sunday. Which is in two days.
RWBY approached the box and examined it closely. The box was medium sized, and had an odd logo that doesn't exist on Remnant: a badge like shape with three letters that said "UPS".
"Should we open it?" Asked Ruby with a mix of concern and curiosity. "Could be another awesome weapon!" She exclaimed as her tone shifted to excitement.
"I don't know." Answered Blake with concern as well, "The envelope has no address so we have no idea what it is."
"I agree with Blake." Said Weiss, "This box has a logo that even I can't recognize. It could be something we've never dealt with before."
"Well, if it's something like a bomb." Yang proclaimed, "At least we can go out with a bang or, in my case, a Yang! Eh? Ehh?"
RWB stared at Yang with a deadpan expression, as per the norm with her puns.
For now, they needed to bring it in their dorm and avoid suspicion. They entered their dorm with Yang carrying the box to settle down and figure out where the box came from. As they entered their dorm room, It looked the same since they decorated it from the start many months ago; the bunk beds are still the same as before. Many books and shelves were in the same positions. And that fancy painting along with the poster were all where they belonged.
The only slight change they got is now they have a 60-inch HD TV screen hanging on their wall with the latest DVD player they got just last week and a couch that's small enough to have space but big enough for the four students to sit in comfortably. Zwei was lying in his doggy bed in the corner of the room which had just bought him.
Zwei notices them coming in and barks happily towards them. Ruby can't resist catching Zwei jumping into her arms and petting him with love and affection. Yang and Weiss joined in and were also giving the little canine some attention as well. Blake may dislike dogs due to her cat Faunus heritage, but evem she has got used to Zwei and mustered the courage to scratch his belly which she admitted wasn't bad.
After everything has settled down, Yang put the box on one of the desks and they again examined its strange logo. They decided to take a picture of the logo by using their scrolls and then tried to match it to any known logo on Remnant. Not a single one matches the mysterious symbol. This brought a great deal concern, uncertainty and curiosity upon them.
"I can't wait any longer. I wanna know what's in it now!" Ruby shouted with impatience. The other three are also curious as to what's inside.
"Ruby's right." Yang agrees, "Hell, I'm not even sure this box is from Remnant." RWB looked at Yang like they thought she was losing her mind.
"Yang," Said Weiss with a hint of annoyance, "just because this box has some weird logo on it doesn't mean it's from another planet."
Yang put up her fingerless gloved hands in protest, "Don't look at me, I was just guessing."
"She may be right," Blake retorted. the other three turn and look at Blake with raised eyebrows. At least Yang had some support from her partner.
"Even I'm not sure what's inside," Blake followed up with uncertainty, "But we can't just jump to conclusions, and I have a feeling the envelope can answer our questions."
The four came to the conclusion that the envelope would bring the answer. Ruby yanks the envelope off the box, opens it, pulls the note out, unfolds it and begins to read it out loud. Though strangely enough, the note doesn't have a salutation or even a signature.
"If anybody is reading this note, I don't have much time to explain. Whoever finds this package will find all the episodes I have recorded. They will be sent to a random location from far away. The world that I live on (Or rather lived on) called Earth will eventually perish due to our ignorance and selfishness. Now we pay the price. The end of my world is coming soon. I wish for my favorite internet show to forever live on being watched. Please take good care of these episodes. If you don't believe me and think this is some kind of prank, I don't blame you. Who else would believe me? May we all rest in peace when our time has come.
P.S, I want you to skip episode 14 and get rid of it. Even I questioned why I recorded it. It's a lame episode, trust me."
After Ruby finished reading the note, there was complete silence. No one said a word as they tried to process what they just heard. Ruby already looked like she was about to cry at the idea of an entire planet dying. Weiss snatched the paper out of Ruby's hand and read it herself. She made a face of disbelief and dread. Blake and Yang read it as well and showed similar expressions. They're actually starting to believe this isn't a prank and reality is slowly getting a hold of them.
An entire planet... destroyed... in the blink of an eye.
And now, they've decided to do a favor to this poor unfortunate soul who sacrificed their final moments.
Watch the series they worked so hard on recording.
After another long moment of silence. The four girls all calmed down and eventually accepted that there was nothing they could have done. They had to accept reality and move on with their lives. Death is naturally a part of life. Ruby decided to speak.
"Well, for this person's sake, we should at least watch some of these episodes tonight."
WBY agreed and focused on the box. Blake unsheathed Gambol Shroud and cut open the top. Yang opened the lid and the four peeked inside. Inside the box appeared to be dozens and dozens, perhaps even at least over 50, black DVD casings that were all colored black with numbers on them that were colored red. They were neatly lined in order from 1 to the last.
RWBY decided to watch five episodes tonight since it was already past 5 PM. They first needed to do their homework for an upcoming test and grab something to eat as well. They left the box open and decided to study for a little while.
After two good hours of studying and a decent meal for supper, It was 7:50 PM and they decide to get ready for the show. After getting into their pajamas, Weiss went to get the popcorn, Yang went to get the sodas, Blake pulled five of DVDs out of the box and Ruby waited on the couch, turned the TV on with the remote and changed the setting to the DVD player.
After the girls all gathered on the couch with popcorn and soda, Ruby went to the DVD player, pulled the disc of the first episode and put it in. Shortly after, the screen shows a text that says a message about "Rules to the show."
Rules
Combatants possess knowledge of each other only if such is canon to each fighter's universe.
The battle must end with a death. For fairness, any personality restraints from killing are removed.
All other character traits, tactics and attributes are not removed and are attempted to be represented faithfully.
Summoning other combatants is not allowed unless it fits the theme of the match-up.
This caught the attention of the girls, especially Yang who loves to fight. It sounds like some kind of fighting competition. Only one way to find out.
Ruby hit the play button as the four huntresses begin to watch the show.
Episode 1 – Boba Fett VS Samus Aran
Boba Fett belongs to Star Wars and Disney.
Samus Aran belongs to Nintendo.
Death Battle belongs to ScrewAttack.
RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum (R.I.P).
Netflix and the fight's soundtrack belong to their respective owners.
I own NONE of the copyrights.
As Ruby pressed the play button, they see an advertisement. Must be important.
After the Netflix advertisement of, they see a metal wall covered in blood with spikes sticking out of the ground with chains hanging from the ceiling. Then the name says it all. Death Battle.
(Cue Invader — Jim Johnson)
Wiz: The bounty hunter. Galactic pirates of living beings.
Boomstick: They blow shit up for cash.
Wiz: A prime example is Boba Fett, the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy.
Boomstick: But don't forget Samus Aran. She's so badass, whole planets explode when she's done with them. BOOM!
Wiz: I'm Wizard.
Boomstick: And I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze the weapons, armor, and skills of these two beastly killers and answer the most important question of all: Which of these two warriors would win... a Death Battle?
This actually interested the four huntresses; a show that pits two characters against each other in a battle to the death. Who will win? Who will die? Ruby felt excited about the mention of weapons, Weiss was also intrigued by this and Blake was in the same boat as well. Yang felt like a kid in a candy store.
The first contestant the girls see is a man wearing a unique set of armor and a cool looking helmet with a T shaped visor, who's also wearing a cape. They also notice he's wearing a jetpack and holding a cylinder shaped gun in his hand.
Boba Fett
(Cue Star Wars Episode IV — The Death Star/The Stormtroopers)
Wiz: Boba Fett is well known for his cunning, ruthlessness and brute force. But his killer instinct relies on his diverse arsenal of death.
RWBY is starting to really like this guy, especially Ruby and Yang.
MANDALORIAN BODY ARMOR
Nearly Indestructible
Micro Energy Field
Penetrating Radar
Protection from Fire, Poison, Acid, Cold
Retractable Drinking Straw (That actually made Ruby laugh)
Boomstick: Plus, he wears the most badass space suit ever.
Wiz: That's no ordinary spacesuit, Boomstick; that's Fett's Mandalorian Armor, forged from nearly indestructible Duraplast containing a Micro Energy Field for dispersing impacts.
Boomstick: This guy can have a freakin' bomb blow up in his face and still walk away.
"Damn," replied Yang. Not even Yang can tank a bomb in the face, but this guy just walks it off. Ruby and Weiss liked how the armor can disperse impacts with an energy field that's similar to their own Aura.
WRIST GAUNTLETS
Flame Projector
Fibercord Whip
Wrist Laser
Concussion missiles
Stun missiles
Wiz: His gauntlets house a flamethrower with a reach of five meters, a fibercord whip, and numerous concussion and stun missiles.
Ruby had wide eyes glazing for those gauntlets. Even Yang wants them.
EE-3 CARBINE RIFLE
Fires in Short Bursts
Scope-Outfitted
Shoulder Sling
Rock-A-Bye Rifle
Wiz: His weapon of choice is his EE-3 Carbine Rifle, an extremely accurate and powerful weapon which Fett often cradles like a child.
After what Wiz just said, WBY slowly turned their heads towards Ruby who was drooling at the awesome Rifle until she notices and stares at them with a confusing look. "What?"
"And I thought Ruby was the only one who treats her gun like a child," Weiss thought with a shudder. They're starting to realize that the warriors in this show will likely have a LOT in common with them.
Boomstick: Yeah, I do that with my guns too.
Wiz: That's not weird at all, Boomstick.
Weiss mentally facepalmed at this. Are these hosts insane or something?
Wiz: Fill us in on Fett's heavy weaponry.
MITRINOMON Z-6 JETPACK
Hands-Free
Up to 1 minute of Flight
Max Speed: 145 kph
Magnetic Grappling Hook
Anti-Vehicle Homing Rocket
Boomstick: Well, everyone and their grandmother knows that Fett can zoom around on his badass jetpack, but that jetpack also has a single anti-vehicle homing rocket, and believe me, you don't wanna see this thing heading your way.
"Someone here needs to make one of those!" Ruby practically squealed in delight. A jetpack with a rocket launcher on it sounded really awesome. Imagine how useful that would be against the Grimm.
Wiz: That's right, Boomstick. In short. Fett is a human Swiss army knife. He's killed hundreds of criminals, politicians and Jedi. He even held his own against Darth Vader twice.
Boomstick: Holy shit that's hardcore!
Blake is actually impressed with Fett holding his own against this "Darth Vader" and based on the name and appearance of this black knight, it really does sound impressive. But hearing Fett killing politicians makes him sound like an assassin which she doesn't like to think about. She would've became one if she never left the White Fang.
Wiz: He became leader of the Mandalorian mercenaries after the Galactic Civil War, and battled Mace Windu to a draw when he was 12 years old.
Boomstick: Sam Jackson's got nothing on him.
"That's actually quite an impressive feat for a 12-year-old." Said Blake with awe. She doesn't know this Sam Jackson but she deduced he must be some celebrity playing Mace Windu and Mace sure looked like a skilled fighter.
Wiz: But with all his awesomeness, every so often, Fett will totally blow it. He's fallen into the Sarlacc three times. Three! And the Sarlacc's not exactly running around, looking for snacks.
Weiss facepalmed for real this time. Really? This guy's supposed to be a badass, and he fell into the same trap three times?!
Boomstick: Three times? How do you even do that once? It's a giant hole in the ground with teeth, and he's got a jetpack!
The girls were actually concerned about what it's like to get eaten by a tentacled creature in the sand, and then they see, right before their eyes, Fett getting devoured by that thing. It looks terrifying.
"How did he even get out of that thing even once?" Asked Yang with a bit of fear. The other three didn't answer, they were too scared. They hope there isn't a Grimm like the Sarlacc.
Wiz: Still, even with his ridiculous flaws, Boba Fett is a whole new meaning of deadly.
Darth Vader: No disintegration. (his chilling voice shivered RWBY's spines)
Boba Fett: As you wish.
With that done. The girls somewhat really like this guy despite his lame flaws and his assassination attempts of politicians. Ruby really love his weapons. Yang liked his badass way of fighting. Weiss did like his cunning. And Blake liked how he was able to fight Mace at 12.
The next contestant is a blonde woman wearing an impressive, smooth looking orange armor with a red chestplate and helmet with a green visor. She also appears to have a cannon that looks like it's actually the armors right arm. Yang feels proud to have a female contestant in this show.
Samus Aran
(Cue Lower Norfair from Super Metroid)
Wiz: Samus Aran was infused with bird-like Chozo DNA at a young age, increasing her strength, speed, and athletic ability far beyond those of a normal human being.
Boomstick: How do you do that?! I want me some bird DNA!
"A woman infused with the DNA of alien birds..." Yang said in shock. "Awesome!" She and Ruby both screamed. Blake has met a few bird Faunus, but they are rare.
POWER SUIT
Shields entire body
Environmental protection
Easy to upgrade
No restriction of movement or flexibility
Wiz: She wears the Power Suit, typically in Varia form, shielding her entire body without restricting any movement or flexibility.
Boomstick: Too bad it makes her look like a dude.
This brought a few chuckles from the young huntresses.
ARM CANNON
Easy to Upgrade
Power Beam
Charge Beam
Ice Beam
Grapple Beam
Missiles
Wiz: Her primary weapon, The Arm Cannon, has acquired numerous awesome upgrades over the years. Though, the basic Power Beam is a pea shooter with a pathetic range.
Ruby was unimpressed. she took a swig of her soda...
Boomstick: But when it's fully charged, It'll blow your face off. BAM! Shoop Da Woop!
Ruby spat out her drink on Weiss's face. Weiss looks like she's gonna throw a temper. Ruby made a sheepish grin. Yang was laughing really hard while Blake had an amused smirk.
Wiz: The Arm Cannon can also use an Ice Beam, a Grapple Beam, and a plethora of seeking and super missiles.
Ruby was beginning to like Aran's weaponry more than Fett's.
SCREW ATTACK
Powerful Electric Charge
Temporary Invincibility
Extremely Fast
Namesake of an Awesome Website (RWBY figured out that's what the show's website was named after)
MORPH BALL ALT-FORM
1 Meter Diameter
Can Release Bombs
Jumping Ability
Also called "Maru Mari"
Can Access Small or Hard to Reach Places
Wiz: Samus controls the skies with the powerful and speedy Screw Attack, and if there's trouble on the battlefield, she can curl up into Morph Ball mode and slip away unnoticed.
Weiss and Blake found the Morph Ball interesting. Yang also wanted to fly in the air like the Screw Attack but with fire!
Boomstick: What the!? How does she do that?
Wiz: Bird DNA, Boomstick. Bird DNA.
"Eh, fair enough." Yang chuckled as she crushed her empty soda can and pulled out another.
POWER BOMBS
Huge Blast Radius
Deals Massive Damage
Crystal Flash Healing Ability
Deployed Only in Morph Ball Mode
Boomstick: Samus also has freakin' huge supply of Power Bombs, which will destroy anything on the screen in seconds. Nothing survives!
Nora would be so impressed if she saw this.
Wiz: She is known to be the bounty hunter capable of taking on impossible missions, fighting massive beasts and even wiping out an entire species.
The girls were really impressed with her feats. But they shudder at the Metroid's hideous appearance.
Wiz: However, she often makes mistakes. Somehow she always seems to lose all her power ups and upgrades at the beginning of every mission.
Ruby groaned in disappointment at that remark. It's like losing Crescent Rose's functions and having to retrieve them every time they start their missions.
Boomstick: Man, someone get this chick a purse.
"Did he just make a sexist comment?" Weiss said with hints of anger in her voice. She does not approve of sexism from somebody like Boomstick. Yang chuckled at Weiss's anger, since she doesn't necessarily mind comments like that... Most of the time.
Samus: Time to go.
To RWBY, Samus might possibly be more cool. She's a bounty hunter like Fett. She takes on impossible missions, and her weaponry is more impressive, especially to Ruby.
Wiz: The combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: But first, we gotta pay off my double barrel, bazooka shotgun. Thanks to Netflix.
As the advertisement is busy. RWBY goes over the two characters they asked each other who would win.
"Samus, she has the best weapons." Said Ruby.
"Well, Boba can fly and his weapons are more accurate while Samus is more athletic and has more versatility to her arsenal," Weiss counter-argued.
"It's a little hard to call," Blake agreed, "but I think Samus might win this."
"Oh I don't care, I just wanna watch the damn fight!" Yang said with excitement rather than impatience.
Boomstick: Yeah. Well it's time for a Death Battle.
RWBY first sees nothing but space until they see a ship that they assume belongs to Samus, given its design. She then gets hit by Boba's ship shooting at her and she falls towards a planet that looks different than Remnant. Could that be Earth?
Samus crash lands into a futuristic city and gets out while Boba hovers towards the ground from wherever he landed from.
FIGHT!
(Cue Bounty Hunters Pursuing the Falcon)
Samus fires her power beam but the projectiles easily dissipate before they could even reach Boba.
Ruby and Weiss both facepalmed.
Fett draws his carbine rifle and fires at Aran, damaging her a bit. Samus flipped out of Fett's firing sight and fired a missile which hit Boba and caused some considerable damage.
Fett unleashed a torrent of flames from his gauntlets and burned her quite a bit. Samus, again, flips out of the flamethrowers' range and fires another missile.
The Mandalorian activates his jetpack and flies into the air before the missile even got near him. While he was flying, Samus catches up to Boba Fett with her Screw Attack, knocks into him and forces him to the ground.
Boba fires his concussion missiles from his gauntlets on Samus which caused more damage.
The Chozo infused human transformed into her Morph Ball mode and began rolling away.
Fett leans down and fires his anti-vehicle homing rocket, but it misses Samus. As Fett cautiously approaches the hole where Samus snuck into, RWBY was surprised as Samus snuck up behind him and planted a power bomb without being noticed.
Yep, Fett is done.
The power bomb explodes and engulfs the entire area. Surprisingly, Fett is still standing. He may still have a chance. Samus appears and Fett shoots his fibercord whip. Samus dodges and fires an ice beam on the Galactic Bounty Hunter.
Samus charges her Power Beam to full strength as Boba Fett is now struggling to break free. He didn't even get a chance. Samus flips forward and points her arm cannon upwards point blank in Boba's face.
Samus: You're mine.
Samus fires at full blast and Fett's entire head is blown off. Shortly after, unlike the rest of his head, his helmet is somehow not blown to bits and is just blown off his shoulders. The helmet falls on the ground with a clinking sound.
K.O!
RWBY had their jaws to the floor after seeing what just happened.
Seconds later. Ruby jumps up, screaming in excitement, followed by Yang shortly after. They shortly sat back down. Now let's see why the winner won.
Boomstick: Holy shit! Did you see that, Wiz? That was insane!
Wiz: Fett battled like a champ, but in the end, Samus's superior technology and athletic skill trumped him hard. While her basic Power Beam failed miserably, Samus put her Chozo DNA to work by jumping and dodging around Fett's offenses. Boba Fett, who relies more on cunning and brute force, simply didn't have the means necessary to catch Samus.
RWBY was impressed. Samus was just too hard to hit when you have only weapons that are formidable. Fighting smart with brute force won't do well against someone with the bigger bag of tricks.
Boomstick: He was shooting all over the place, but that space chick was just too quick for him. He even tried to use his homing rocket, but anybody who's blown up a lot of shit knows anti-vehicle rockets don't work too well with people.
"No kidding," deadpanned Blake. "Why would you wanna use a weapon that's more suited to vehicles than people?"
Wiz: Exactly. Samus is about four times smaller than the average vehicle, so there's only about a one in four chance for a direct hit from Fett's rocket. Not to mention she kept moving, preventing Fett from getting a solid lock on her.
That made sense to RWBY. Samus won this fight because she was too quick for Fett to hit. Fett's weapons were practically useless against someone he couldn't even catch. Well played, Samus.
Boomstick: After that screw-up, Samus managed to sneak around Fett and left a little surprise at his feet.
Wiz: Fett's micro-energy field managed to minimize the damage he took from the Power Bomb, but by that point, it was all over. Samus froze Fett with her Ice Beam and finished him off with a Charge Beam to the face.
Ouch. That was really cool, but at the same time, though, they felt sorry what Boba was thinking as he couldn't do anything but watch in horror as his imminent death. They clearly bet his life was flashing before his eyes. At least he fought well.
Boomstick: Samus sure stopped him cold.
Yang laughed at that pun. RWB facepalmed and hope those puns don't show in the next episode. They are in for one hell of a ride.
Wiz: That's right, Boomstick. The winner is Samus Aran.
As the scene ended, the four girls declared their opinions.
"Did you see that?!" Ruby shouted with glee and excitement. "There was shooting and the jumping and the dodging and the explosion and the awesome blast to the head!"
Yang agreed. "Sure did. That was a good first episode but I wish the fight scene was cooler."
"That was the only first episode anyway," Blake informed. "It may possibly get better as we watch more episodes. It was pretty interesting how they made all those comparisons to figure out who'd win. I actually sort of liked it."
"I agree," Weiss said. "I wasn't expecting to like a simple show from the internet. I mean, I was wondering the whole time who would win. But now I'm quite interested to see who's gonna fight who next."
Right after Weiss said that, they heard Boomstick say something while text was on the screen.
Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle.
There was a flurry of punches covered in purple flames and then an odd burning symbol hangs on the screen. Then they heard a creepy chilling voice.
?: Your soul is mine.
With no time to waste, RWBY puts in the second episode. Ruby hits play.
