RWBY Watches Death Battle — REMASTERED — A RWBY fanfiction by epicvictory2025, remastered by FireballDragon
Episode 9 — Felicia VS Taokaka
Dragon's Notes: Not much to say here this time. Sorry for the wait. Life, college, and overall laziness has been getting in the way recently. As a reminder, I'm not gonna cover Justin VS Rebecca, nor will it be Death Battle VS the World. Instead, I'm gonna cover the first Q&A with Wizard and Boomstick, since epicvictory2025 didn't cover that one. And I actually can't wait to get to it for… certain reasons.
Also, planning on writing some novelization fanfiction. Of what, you may ask? Oh, just a couple of video games, you'll find out soon enough, hopefully.
Enjoy the 9th remastered chapter.
Felicia belongs to Capcom.
Taokaka belongs to Arc System Works.
Death Battle belongs to ScrewAttack.
RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum (R.I.P).
HostGator and soundtrack belong to their respective owners.
I own NONE of the Copyright.
As they prepared for a more interesting fight, they again looked back at the last episode.
Yoshi VS Riptor was an interesting matchup, if not outright absurd. The actual fight was a bit short, 55 seconds to be exact, and it was strange pitting a cute, harmless looking character against a fierce, bloodthirsty one, especially since they were both dinosaurs. But joy overtook shock upon the fact that Yoshi defeated Riptor, as they liked him better overall for both his cute appearance and unique abilities.
Death Battle keeps getting more interesting as they watch. They even wonder how much JNPR likes the episodes they borrowed, especially in regards to Pyrrha seeing Wonder Woman. The more episodes RWBY watches, the more they want to watch. But they promised five episodes per night is enough, especially when they have training and homework to do.
"Alright gang." Ruby said. "One more episode after this one and off to bed. We need to study again for another test Tuesday." Yang slowly muttered how she hates having to deal with brain-frying math along with the project Oobleck gave them, Blake assured Yang she will help her as she's decent with math. Weiss has an upcoming test for history but she's confident she'll ace it. Ruby has a special assignment for the special properties of Silver Dust which Weiss will help her as well. The project, however, they will deal with that later since that's due Wednesday. For now, they'll continue for two more episodes and then they'll deal with their other personal concerns.
On with Episode 9.
After HostGator was being mentioned, the show began as the familiar title of Death Battle shows. They see the two catgirls from the teaser clashing claws.
This'll get interesting.
Blake, however, isn't sure if she should feel proud about how much these two resemble cat Faunus, or offended at their somewhat… provocative appearances. She just hopes at the very least, Boomstick doesn't step in with this perverted jokes like usual.
(Cue Invader - Jim Johnston)
Boomstick: Catfight!
"Here we go." Blake said sarcastically.
Wiz: It literally is Boomstick. Not only do we have two ferocious females in the ring today, but they're also, well, cats.
Boomstick: Felicia the pop-star, demon, cat chick lady.
Wiz: And Taokaka, Blazblue's speedy vigilante.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skill to find out who would win a Death Battle.
(Cue Felicia's theme from Marvel vs Capcom 3)
Upon closer the look, the catgirl has shown many of the features they seen before; Blue hair with white streaks, cat paws and feet tipped with pink, sharp claws, a cat tail and a slim waist. They notice some depictions show her having sapphire blue eyes compared to her personal emerald green on her beautiful face. Despite resembling a cat Faunus, Blake notes that she doesn't appear to have any human ears with her cat ears, and her breasts and lower abdomen are barely covered by her snow white fur.
"Dang, I've never seen a cat girl close to being naked before." Yang said jokingly which Blake glared at her.
Felicia
Wiz: As a Catwoman, Felicia faced discrimination all her life.
Blake can now see she and the Catwoman have plenty in common. Seems like the Faunus aren't the only race facing prejudice.
Wiz: She was raised by a nun and inspired to become a successful pop-star, a passion that would ultimately lead her on a quest to bring humans and cat people together to make children happy.
RWBY, especially Blake, smiled at Felicia's efforts to try to bring two different races together as friends, rather than enemies… If the humans and Faunus can do that too.
"I'm actually impressed at her dedication." Blake said
Boomstick: What the hell? I thought we were talking about a deadly, demon warrior and… is she naked?!
"You better not be thinking what I think you're thinking." Weiss hissed while Blake slowly nodded in agreement. She doesn't want Boomstick to make sexist comments on cat people like herself.
Wiz: Yes.
Boomstick: But… she's a cat.
Wiz: Yes...
Boomstick: hmmm… do you think it'd be wrong to-
Wiz: Yes!
"Thank you!" Weiss and Blake shouted.
BACKGROUND
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 128 lbs.
Race: Catwoman
Raised by a Nun
Happy-Go-Lucky-Attitude
Superhuman Strength, Speed, & Endurance
Cat-Sense (Blake and other cat Faunus also have this)
Wiz: Felicia is a Darkstalker, a creature of the night, and naturally possesses supernatural strength, speed, and agility. She can also use her unique cat sense to sniff out enemies from extreme distances.
"Guess she does have some traits similar to Faunus." Ruby said.
Blake can also use her cat senses to detect danger and enemies through smell, but she prefers to use her ears and eyes. Yang is impressed how strong Felicia is despite how thin she looks, while Ruby likes her agility and speed.
COMBAT
Long, Pink Claws (Some feline Faunus also have claws)
Strong Tail
Speed-Based Combos (Similar to Ruby's and Weiss's)
High-Damaging Grapples
Can Charge Energy at Will (Much like Aura users)
Natural Athlete (Like any Huntsman)
Boomstick: She can tear into her foes with her with the sharp claws restin' in her big ass paws, each several inches long and capable of tearing through all kinds of armor.
Wiz: To top it off, her tail is extremely strong, able to lift her entire body on its own.
"Wish I had a tail." Blake secretly muttered. But overall, she's impressed. Sun and other tailed Faunus can also stand on their tails to hold themselves up but only for a moment. Also, some feline Faunus do have natural claws for combat but most will just use weapons.
SPECIAL MOVES
Rolling Smash
Delta Kick/Cat Spike
Hell Cat Grapple
Rolling Buckler: Links to various attacks
Wiz: She's undeniably one of the faster Darkstalkers, and can get around the battlefield with her unpredictable Rolling Smash, Delta Kicks and Rolling Buckler.
Boomstick: *singing* Felicia… she can really move… Felicia… shes' got an attitu-ude-
Wiz: Yes Boomstick, we get it, she's like Sonic.
SAND SPLASH
Short Range
Low to Middle Height
Also Called Litterbox Kick (Blake is not amused)
Wiz: Anyway, as a Darkstalker, she has a natural affinity for magic, able to use it in her only range attack, kicking sand.
Boomstick: At least she's litter box trained.
"That's it? Kicking Sand? I thought she would be using it for something more practical." Weiss said with disappointment while Ruby was also disappointed. Blake was pretty offended at this pseudo-racism and her blood slightly boiled.
Wiz: As she was raised by a nun, even becoming one herself, she has little to no combat training. Preferring to focus on her singing career and running an orphanage.
Much like Haggar, Felicia's lack of training may lead to a disadvantage.
Wiz: As such, she relies on her lethal, feral instinct in a fight.
Boomstick: Well these same instincts also lead her to be easily distracted by ferocious enemies like butterflies, rolling balls of yarn and paper that crinkles. (Sound of paper crinkling)
While the other three were giggling how cute and silly that was, Blake was slowly getting pissed how racist that is to her and other cat Faunus. Cat Faunus don't get distracted that easily… usually. Blake ignores distractions when she's fighting but when she's reading or hanging out, some shiny things do get her attention and even yarn is her favorite toy that she secretly keeps… when no one's looking.
"And don't forget the laser pointer." Yang blurted out which Blake stared with a glare in Yang's eyes. Yang chuckled sheepishly. Blake. Hates. Laser pointers.
Wiz: The other Darkstalkers often consider Felicia to be one of the weakest of their kind, but with the help of her friends, she somehow manages to hold her against demon lords, spell casters, and all-powerful aliens.
RWBY is impressed Felicia is still a capable fighter despite her fragile speedster status.
Boomstick: She's one cat you don't wanna cross!
Felicia: I sure could use a catnap. (Transforms into a cat)
RWBY likes this character. A feline-like human running an orphanage and doing the best she can to bring humans and cat people together. Ruby can compare herself with Felicia because they are both quick but are weak when hit. Blake admires her as a cat and even awed by her fighting style while smiling at her efforts to stop prejudice. Yang and Weiss also likes her kicking sand attack because it's cute and funny. On with the next contestant.
The second contestant is the other catgirl. She has a unique look compared to the already-unique Felicia. She has brown skin, long blond hair tied in two braids with orange bows that are poking out of the holes of her hood and a black tail with a white colored tip. She's wearing a beige-colored hoodie with a cat hood and cat themed sleeves for her arms which are very long along with high-heel boots with the cat theme which are odd looking. Underneath her cloak she wears red panties. Her face is creepy looking; all they can see under the hood is a wide toothy smile and red beady eyes.
Taokaka
(Cue Cactus Carnival from Blazblue)
Boomstick: That chick wearing a cat hoodie?
Wiz: No, that's a special cloak designed to fit her Kaka body.
Boomstick (and Ruby): Her what body?
BACKGROUND
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 93 lbs.
Race: Kaka
Descended from Genetically Engineered Weapons
Guardian and Vigilante
Superhuman Strength, Speed, & Agility
Incredibly Stupid
Wiz: Taokaka is a vigilante of the Kaka tribe, a catlike people descended from genetically engineered living weapons. Her genetics provide her with a natural fighting instinct. She is the guardian of the Kaka, implying that she is the best fighter of the group.
Hearing the term "Genetically engineered living weapons" intrigued the girls. This brought a few questions. Who created the Kaka and who donated the genes? What were they created for? What were they meant to do? Why are they now just a tribe of cat people living normal lives? They may never know.
Boomstick: While she may be a good fighter, she is one dumb cat.
Wiz: Unfortunately, Tao has an incredibly severe case of ADHD. While she hunts bounties intent on improving her fighting skill and bringing money to her family, she often winds up completely forgetting about her mission at the worst of times. Often even befriending her would-be targets.
"Seriously?" Weiss facepalmed yet again. How can a bounty hunter like Taokaka befriend her bounty that is the literal target to keep her family well fed?
COMBAT
A Total of 12 Retractable Razor-Sharp Claws (Ruby squeed at that)
Speed-Based Combos
Expert Air Control
"Dancing Edge" Drive is Extremely Fast
Boomstick: She has twelve retractable dual-edge blades on her hands and feet. While the're not very long, they can transform from basic claws to hook-size and saw-blades. Damn, I don't even want to think what those could do to my couch.
All four girls really liked Tao's claws. Even hooked and saw blades sound really awesome to think about. Ruby is practically squealing at how these claws can be weaponized.
SEITHER
Uses Instinctively
Used for Special Attacks (Like Aura)
3 Powerful, Fast Distortion Drives
Astral Heat
Limited Amount Available
Wiz: Tao's genes allow her instinctively access and utilize Seither: a raw powerful energy seething through the air.
Another energy resembling aura, except it's in the air, interesting.
Wiz: Tao can use Seither to empower and transform her claws, as well as to execute incredibly vicious attacks. However, there is only so much Seither in a given space, and once she runs out, Tao will lose many of her deadliest attributes.
"Again, sounds just like Aura, but from the air. How many more Death Battle episodes are gonna mention energy that sounds like Aura?" Weiss said. No one knew.
Boomstick: Also, apparently, Tao likes to carry around a lot of random shit, which she then uses as projectiles during a fight: bowling balls, apple cores, pillo— a pillow? Realy?!
Everyone was laughing. How can a pillow do damage? Ruby with a pillow, however...
Wiz: She's the fastest of the Blazblue cast, darting around the arena with incredibly fast combos. However, she's also the weakest stamina wise and doesn't have many defensive options.
Another fragile speedster.
Boomstick: But if you wanna kick her ass, you gotta catch her first.
Taokaka: *referring to Litchi Faye-Ling* Aah! It's the boobie lady!
Wiz: Alright the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: After the thing people bitch about in the comments.
This is a tough one; RWBY realizes both the catgirls are really similar. Fast, agile, sharp claws, high speed combos, fragile and weak stamina. However, they also have good character within them that makes RWBY look at them as good (cat) people doing in what they believe in. Felicia trying to bring both cat people and humans together as friends while running an orphanage. Taokaka is catching bounties for money to feed her family, that shows she cares for them. Might as well find out who has a specific advantage over the other.
Boomstick: It's time for a catfight!
The area before them was beautiful; There was a babbling stream with many rocks sticking out of the water while many lush trees and shrubs were whistling in the wind. A fluttering butterfly is hovering near a wooden bridge and is approaching a nun watering some flowers. The nun notices the butterfly and quickly takes off her robe who turns out to be Felicia. RWBY isn't sure if she's streaking, even if she's covered in fur.
Felicia was stalking the butterfly like a feline predator that she is. Then, she starts jumping at it until she accidentally bumps into Taokaka who was taking a nap. Tao jumps up and is now agitated that her nap was interrupted.
Taokaka: Alright!
Both get into their stances as they prepare to shred each other to pieces.
RWBY can feel the tension that this fight will be intense.
Catwoman VS Kaka. Claw VS claw, speed VS speed. One will win, the other will die.
FIGHT!
(CuesCalamity Trigger — Blazblue Calamity Trigger)
Tao charges and unleashes a long, slashing combo on Felicia with her razor-sharp claws until she knocks her into the air and then slams her hard into the ground with her hooked claws.
Felicia rebounds with Rolling Buckler and counters Taokaka who was caught off guard. Felicia now unleashes her own combo of slashes mixed with kicks. She then uses Rolling Buckles to uppercut Tao, slashes the Kaka a few times in midair, grapples her, and throws her back to the ground.
Taokaka lands on her feet and quickly avoids the Catwoman from crushing her. Taokaka tries to land a hit, but Felicia blocks the punch and counters with Delta Kick that is followed by Rolling Buckler which damages her back and forth. Taokaka manages to pin Felicia down and unsheathed her claws.
Taokaka: Take This!
Taokaka now slashes Felicia at a rapid rate which creates a dust cloud. When the cloud clears, Felicia is damaging Tao with her Hell Cat Grapple which ends with her throwing Taokaka a good distance.
Taokaka: Boing!
Taokaka recovers and is now in a quadrupedal stance with her tail wagging in the air while Felicia is in her normal fighting stance. The whole time these two are evenly matched; counterattacking each other when either of them gains the advantage.
The four huntresses are getting pumped at how tense and quick paced this fight really is. It's really exciting to them.
Suddenly, before the two fighters attacked, their attention catches something else.
It's that butterfly from earlier. The music also changed.
Before RWBY knew it, Felicia and Tao decided to chase the butterfly, meowing and giggling as they take turns trying to catch the little guy with wings.
While this may seem cute, if not outright adorable, The four girls had mixed reactions: Ruby thought it was cute and laughed. Weiss also laughed and noted the adorableness. Yang didn't care but wonders what'll happen. Blake was making an annoyed frown. Cat Faunus don't simply just stop their fighting when a butterfly decides to be a distracting nuisance. No. That doesn't happen to any cat Faunus as far as she knows.
The butterfly slowly hovers towards Felicia as she prepares to attack it.
Taokaka, however, has other plans.
In an instant. Tao slashes the butterfly to bits.
Everyone's jaw dropped while Felicia looked traumatized.
Taokaka: Whoops!
Felicia (Crying) No, no, no!
Felicia let out a cat-like roar as she lunches at Tap. The two are now trading blows back and forth. Felicia slashes Tao in a combo. Tao slashes back with her own combo. Felicia does a kick combo at the Kaka with the support of her tail. Taokaka continues to slash Felicia. Felicia is now whacking Taokaka with her tail at a rapid pace. Taokaka suddenly realizes she's slashing nothing but thin air.
Taokaka stops her assault and wonders where Felicia is. Felicia suddenly comes out of nowhere from behind, grapples Taokaka and slashes her across the face which draws blood. Felicia kicks Taokaka away and tries to ram her with her Rolling Smash but was caught off guard by Tao summoning sawblades from her paws which shredded Felicia brutally and blood was drawn as well.
RWBY cringed at that really bad.
Felicia uses Sand Splash, but to no avail as Taokaka jumps right over it, which leaves her open for Taokaka to trap her in a combo. Tao knocks her into the air and keeps her there by slashing her multiple times. Taokaka then lands on the ground as she taps into her genes and unleashes her most powerful attack that's also an Astral Finisher.
Taokaka: Taokaka boom!
Taokaka jumps upward and finishes Felicia with an upward slash. The slash was so devastating that it slices Felicia in two. RWBY stared in horror and shock as Felicia lets out a pained scream as her top and lower halves separated in a shower of blood. Everything was silent as the screen faded to white.
Felicia lays still as Taokaka is doing her victory dance nearby.
K.O!
Taokaka: Nya ha, nya ha, nya ha!
Taokaka sits down on the ground and slumps over.
Taokaka: Now I'm bored.
RWBY didn't know what to say to the gruesome finisher. They all shuddered how they saw Felicia got bisected, how sad. How are the kids in the orphanage gonna take this… Oh wait, Felicia can come back.
Boomstick: Felicia just got put down!
Wiz: Well this one was very close. Based on their movesets, Tao appears to have a slight speed advantage. Though Felicia had the endurance of a Darkstalker, Tao's superior agility eventually gave her the win.
Boomstick: Not to mention, she's got freakin' razor blades for claws! Felicia just took her final meow!
Yang laughed at that as usual, while Blake was a little offended.
Wiz: The winner is Taoakaka.
RWBY did like the fight for its fast paced and blood pumping intensity, but the way Taokaka finished off Felicia was really terrifying. At least the fight was interesting this time.
One more episode. Who's gonna fight now?
Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle!
(Cue God of War III Theme)
RWBY were awed as they see a masculine figure standing under a raging storm, even though they can hardly see him. The camera changes and they see his face; But all they see is an angry and avenging look in his fiery eyes which intimidates the young girls.
Then they see a male figure shrouded by a red cape, wearing a skintight black suit, with white streaks on the chest and mask. The suit is also decorated with chains, spikes and skulls.
The scary music indicates these two fighters are cold blooded killers.
The title says it all.
Kratos VS Spawn
Tuesday, April 12
One episode to go as they wonder how violent and bloody this will be, Yang feels a little excited.
Weiss gets more candy as Ruby puts the tenth and last disc for tonight and hits play. This is just the beginning.
