Yang had finally gotten back to the amphitheatre. When she got there only her teammates, Velvet, and Summer were there.
"Wher-"
"So how was your "daddy" Jaune Yang? By the sounds of it you loved it!" Teased Blake as Yang blushed
"She looooooves him!" Said a random flying blue cat that was kicked out of the room by Zex
Yang turned around and was utterly terrified. Zex's eyes were glowing blood red and he looked like he was on the verge of destroying a universe.
"I spent three weeks on that shield." Zex started as he stomped towards Yang who was shaking in fear.
"And you. Wanted his. BABIES!" Zex pulled her close to him by her jacket and practicality roared in her face. They stopped and heard humming. Zex turned around and saw Blake holding a pregnancy test while nervously laughing as she realized Zex saw that the test that was positive.
"Oops" Blake said nervously
Zex roared louder than Godzilla and obliterate the school. He stood in the rubble shaking in anger.
"Zex! Fix that now!" Yelled a Voice
"Why!?" He yelled back angrily.
"Because if You don't so help me I'll-"
"Okay okay sheesh" Zex grumbled as he rewound time making all of them stare at him in fear.
"Okay, WHO ELSE IS PREGNANT!" Zex asked
All the girls raised their hands as Ruby looked at her mom. "You too!?"
"Well honey you got your taste in men from somewhere" Summer giggled remembering her night with Tai.
"I'm gonna get a migraine" Zex said as he rubbed his forehead
"Don't you have a baby niece?" Velvet asked
"I do but I didn't get a migraine from her." Zex Deadpanned
"Wait where is-" "They all got drunk and are currently sleeping it off. Coco and Fox went into town last night and I'm pretty sure robbed all the clothes stores. Goodwitch and Ozpin are passed out in their respective offices. Taiyang and Qrow are in guest dorms. Yastuashi is asleep in his dorm. And Ironwood is currently chasing Deadpool down for peeking on a Drunk Winter." Zex said tiredly
"Wait! What about Winter!" Weiss asked nervous
"I was drunk last night and she ended up in my bed while I slept on the roof." Zex explained
"...Why do I believe that?" Yang asked surprised
"Because unlike most guys I'm not a Jody." Zex said casually
"What's a Jody." Ruby asked
"Think of them as the "fuck you over" or "has sex with your significant other" type of person." Zex explained (1)
"So like my Ex?" Yang said bitterly
"Yup now we got three more Death Battles to watch excluding this one!" Zex explained
"Are we ever gonna come back to any of them?" Weiss asked curiously
"Depends on what the readers want." Zex said confusing everyone till Summed spoke up
"You can do what Deadpool, Pinkie Pie, and The Mask can do...can't you." Summer stated with a flat look
"Yup!" Zex said not even denying it
"Wait a minute. How come we are getting pregnant?" Pryhha asked
"Did y'all want kids?" He asked as they all nodded had "then that's why"
"Wait what about the three weeks of hard work?" Asked Velevt
"I only have had these powers for less than a year" Zex stated shocking everyone
"B-But you can do tons of things! How are you still only a beginner!?" Yelled Weiss
"One I'm more combat prone than any other writer, that I'm aware of, two I don't do these things often, and three the powers depend on the person and their personality. Think of it like a semblance on steroids." Zex explained
"Oh that makes sense...I guess" Ruby said
"Wait!" Yelled Pryhha "where is Ren, Nora, and his Parents!"
"Well about that..."
"FUCK ME REN! FUCK ME!" Nora Yelled as Ren was going crazy with his new wife in their room.
An Ren giggled "I remember when you did that to me dear"
"Well then sweet heart" Li Ren said as he picked up his wife who yelped in excitement "shall we?"
"Oh yes!" She yelled as she dragged him from the hotel they were staying at to a nearby apartment complex
"...Ill explain later" Zex said as he rubbed his forehead with two fingers
"Okay then" Blake said worried
"Okay fuck it. I'm gonna show you the Battle after all." Zex said tiredly
"Wait! What about the others!" Ruby asked
"Leave them be for now" Zex said as he checked on Ironwood
"COME BACK HERE YOU PERVERTED SHIT!" Ironwood yelled as he was firing his pistol at Deadpool who wad running away.
"GOTTA CATCH ME FIRST IRONDICK!" He yelleed back
"Okay that's enough" Zex said as Deadpool was crushed by an anvil. As he crawled out from under it he saw Ironwood's boot and looked up to see him cracking his knuckles.
"Mommy" he squeakex out in fear as Ironwood began to beat him down.
"He finally got his hands on Deadpool and I don't give a damn right now." Zex stated
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)
Wiz: For untold decades, scientists have searched for a legitimate method of measuring a person's level of badassness, completely missing the obvious answer.
Boomstick: Just check out the size of his sword!
"Well then Jaune would win that contest" giggled Blake
"I don't need to know that" Zex stated
"Why? Cause you can't compare?" Yang teased
"No because I don't need to know about y'alls sex life." Zex deadpanned
"I will always prefer Taiyang girls" Summer giggled as Zex raised his hand
"Don't make me blow up this amphitheatre again." Zex said annoyed
"Oh come on your powers work only if we want them too!" Yang stated as everyone started to feel better than him
"Remember when I said I'm more combat prone than any other?" Zex said with a malicious grin
"Yeah what about it?" Weiss asked
"This isn't my real form kiddos!" Zex said shocking them
"What?" Velvet asked scared
"Oh my real form is a humanoid dragon so big it could eat a black hole for a snack! My human form is the only way I could actually fit in this damn amphitheatre" Zex said as his eyes turned into dragon eyes glowing blood red and they could feel power radiating off of him.
"DON'T. TEST. ME." He simply said as they all nodded in fear except Weiss who asked a question
"How does that form work for combat?"
"We go by many things. Gods, Writers, Watchers. I prefer more of a editor style if you will. With a wave of our hand we could erase an entire world! As such we live in a separate universe that I'll call the "Original". There is where we live. Like you we love, create, and weave tales of our own. Its sad that not many use their power. Others can create horrific monsters that we read or can play in a simple video game. In other words Schnee. My real form outside your realm is human. But in this world I can be any thing. That I want to be." Zex explained scaring everyone
"M-Monsters" Ruby said trembling
"Oh yes why one of the most famous is this guy!" Zex said as he snapped his fingers and the screen was black. White gloves came out as a face was shown. He had white make up with red lines going down his fave to his mouth. He looked at everyone and smiled.
"Hey! I'm Pennywise the Dancing Clown!" Pennywise said
"H-Hi" Blake said confused
"Ohhhhhh. I smell it." He said creeping everyone out "Zex! You're all grown up now! I've missed you! Oh how I've missed you!" He said as all the girls started to hide behind him
"The children! Their children" he laughed "I'll love playing with them. We will go to the carnival" he started to get closer to the screen "We will eat the popcorn" He said his teeth were shown to be sharped jagged teeth "AND ILL MAKE THEM FLOAT!" He yelled as the lights went out.
When They came back on he was gone. They turned off.
"ILL MAKE YOU ALL FLOAT!" Pennywise was shown as a giant monster spider as he charged at them. All the girls screamed until he suddenly stopped.
"You have no power here clown." Zex said as he walked forward "maybe I should tell you my favorite meal."
"Favorite? Meal?" Pennywise asked as he saw Zex's eyes go dragon like and teeth turn sharp.
"SPIDER CLOWN STEW!" Zex yelled as he grew bigger than Pennywise and devoured him in front of all the girls.
As Zex transformed back he saw then shaking. He knew they were terrified but that was the point. He needed them to know that there were monsters far more dangerous than any Grimm in the multiverse. If he was seen as one of them. So be it.
"Now sit back down. It's time for the Death Battle." Zex said as he walked away. The girls all started to move towards their seats but Summer looked at Zex.
"He is shaking" Summer thought "A monster doesn't shake. He is more like a child who lost his way before he even got out of middle school. How much are you truly hurting Zex?"
Like Jaune, the brutal black swordsman from Berserk.
Wiz: And Nightmare, the demonic scourge from Soul Calibur.
"He looks scary" Velvet said still shaken up
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
Jaune (Guts)
(*Cues: Berserk - Et Voici Guts*)
Wiz: In the realm of Midland, rumors run rampant of a man wielding a humongous blade slaying any that get in his way, but before his legend grew, this black swordsman was known simply as Jaune.
Boomstick: Oh ho, man, I'm so excited! Jaune is one of the most badass and hardcore characters ever.
Guts shouts and swings a smaller sword, which shatters a ball and chain's ball.
"That's our Jaune!" Yang yelled
"Yup!" Ruby agreed
"they are gonna hate how he was born" Zex thought
(*Cues: Berserk - Boscorn 2*)
Wiz: But the story of Jaune is not for the faint of heart.
Boomstick: Yeah, it's... kind of dark. You've been warned.
"Oh no" Blake said scared of what happened to him
Wiz: After a brutal massacre, Jaune was born from the corpse of his mother, who had been hanged from a tree.
All the girls sat there shocked. They all had tears going down their eyes as they heard it. Until They remembered what Zex said. Some people were created for...entertainment!? Yang charged until Zex lifted her in the air.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUR DIMENSION!?" She Yelled
"His story is one of tragedy. His world was purposely made far more cruel. Yet he over comes every challenge with no regret. He, in my eyes, wasn't created as entertainment. He was created to be a symbol of light. In his world it is overcome by demons and evil monsters. Yet he slays them all. He is what many of us strives to be. A hero." Zex said as he gently planced Yang back in her chair.
"No one can choose their origin. Yet, when WE create a story. There is always a purpose. This version of Jaune is the embodiment of sheer will and determination. He is a mere human. And He stands amongst gods as the one of the most feared mortals in existence. No one wants to take the risk of challenging him." Zex stated as Summer saw him shaking more. Weiss, following Summer's eyes, saw Zex shaking as well. Both knew he didn't like what happened. They think its why his respect for this Jaune is so high.
Boomstick: And we're just getting started.
"Oh come on!" Everyone yelled
Baby Guts was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries and was adopted by the camp whore.
Wiz: Who... died of the plague three years later. With no one left to turn to, Guts was mentored by the mercenary leader Gambino, who began training him in swordsmanship when he was just six years old.
"That is way to young!" Yang Yelled
"Remember Shaolin Kung Fu?" Zex asked as they nodded "There are children as young if not younger who practice it at its birthplace. The Shaolin Temple. They grow up incredibly strong and far more developed than any man or woman on this planet"
?: Hey Guts! Why don't you use a smaller sword? One right for your size?
Guts tries to attack Gambino, who then knees him.
Gambino: We don't carry any baby-sized swords for kids here anyway.
"Bastard" Summer said as she glared at Gambino
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)
Wiz: An extremely determined student of war, Jaune was soon brought on to the battlefield and killed his first man at the age of nine.
"What!" They all yelled
Boomstick: Despite his skill, life wasn't all murder sunshine and rainbows. Young Jaune was constantly abused in many ways that I don't really want to go into.
"Was he?" Blake asked not wanting to finish the sentence
"Yes...yes he was" Zex as they all could feel the temperature rise in the room. Summer and Weiss noticed the shaking and the absolute look of anger in his eyes.
"He is angry." Summer thought
"What are you hiding Zex?" Weiss thought
But these awful things he had to endure kickstarted the long and excruciating process of grooming Jaune into the scariest man in the world.
(*Cues: Berserk - More Death and Silence 2*)
Wiz: After killing his crazed adopted father in self-defense, Jaune became a lone mercenary and a damn good one. Recognized for his skill, he was recruited by a mercenary group called the Band of the Hawk, Led by an ambitious man named Griffith.
"That's a man!?" Yelled all the girls
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)
Wiz: The Hawk's raiders would be Jaune's first taste of comradery and friendship.
Boomstick: Over the next three years, they single-handedly ended a one-hundred year war. Things were looking up for Jaune,
"Yay! Here comes the-"
aaaand then Griffith summoned a horde of demons, transformed into a bat monster, and murdered all of Jaune's friends, and claimed ownership of Jaune's soul by branding his neck. If that wasn't dramatic enough, Griffith then raped Jaune's girlfriend in the pool of his friends' blood as he watched, pinned down with his eye gouged out and forced to cut of his own arm.
Trash cans popped up next to them as they all threw up. The gore was enough but Weiss sat there shaking in anger.
"What kind of Monster does that!" Weiss yelled as it slowly dawned her "You knew...didn't You Zex?"
Everyone looked at Zex as he stood there. "As I said before there are many forms of monsters that we create. Griffith being one of them. He is what every man and woman should never be. The embodiment of a human monster. No one is a saint. If they are then they are good at lying. We all have dark secrets that we choose to hide. I for one know mine and I direct them into something productive. I never had a life like this Jaune's but I know for damn certain I would be in his group trying to kill that son of a BITCH. It's why I choose to join the Marines. To hunt down scum like him and bring them to justice."
Everyone's jaw dropped.
(*Cues: Berserk - Monster*)
Wiz: Definitely not his best day.
"Gee ya think!?" All the girls yelled
After all that, Jaune dedicated his entire life to murdering Griffith as painfully and brutally as possible. While fighting demons on a daily basis as they are drawn to his brand like moths to a flame.
"Oh come on!" Velvet Yelled
(*Cues: Berserk - Blood and Guts (Passionate)*)
Boomstick: But to do this, he needs the right tools for the job. He carries a belt of throwing knifes and a pouch of mini bombs even demons can't take.
Wiz: He also received a new mechanical hand, which houses a flamethrower, repeater crossbow, and a hidden single shot cannon, perfect for blasting a demon's face off.
Boomstick: Surprise, bitch!
Everyone chuckled at Boomstick's joke.
Wiz: But none of that compares to Jaune's primary tool of destruction, the giant blade known as Dragonslayer.
(*Cues: Berserk - Forces (God Hand Mix)*)
After a single slash, a table is covered in blood and half of a man screams as he falls to the ground.
Ruby nearly ran down the hall until she was put back into her seat gently.
"No more of that!" Zex yelled as it slowly dawned on them
"How did we know we are pregnant!? We only each had one session!" Weiss yelled
"I created those when YANG wanted his kids. Meaning that it effected you because you ALSO wanted his kids. So it is basically stating early on if you are having his kids." Zex explained
"Oh no wonder you are not violently throwing us around like you usually do." Ruby said as she remembered what happened to Deadpool, Neptune, and Ironwood
"Yup and I only do that to certain people" Zex stated
Boomstick: Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough
"NOT. A. WORD." Zex said as all the girls giggled pervertedly
it's too big to be called a sword. More like a heap of raw iron. And it might just be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
"Oh yeah it was" Velvet said as Zex glared
"Maybe letting y'all have fun time with Jaune was a bad idea"
Wiz: Forged by the legendary hermit Godo, Dragonslayer was made to... well... slay a dragon. Unfortunately, it was laughed off as impossible to use by anyone.
Boomstick: Except for Jaune!
Wiz: Standing six and a half feet long and weighing over 400 pounds, the Dragonslayer is enormous. Though not unfeasible. In real life, the largest sword ever used in battle belonged to a Frisian freedom fighter and stood seven feet tall. Though it wasn't nearly as heavy, only 14 pounds.
Boomstick: With a single swing of Dragonslayer, Jaune can cleave through a man wearing heavy armor. Along with his weapon, his horse, and any other people, animals, or demons that happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Everyone was in awe of the sword.
Wiz: And after killing over a thousand demons - no, I did not stutter - Dragonslayer has bathed in so much demonic blood that it now resides in both the physical and astral planes of existence... somehow. Meaning it is capable of harming any supernatural beings.
Boomstick: Even ghooooosts.
"Awesome!" Ruby Yelled
"That also means Jaune could kill any Hunter with that sword." Zex said scaring everyone
"Never mind" Ruby said wondering what happened to Zex. He was more care free until today.
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)
Wiz: Jaune is an absolute monster in combat. He can move faster than the eye can track, killed one hundred soldiers on his own in a single night, and once jumped into the mouth of a giant sea god, cut his way through it, and killed it within.
Jaune places his sword behind him.
Zodd: You intend to gamble your life on a single strike?
(*Cues: Berserk - Des Cambrioleurs!*)
Boomstick: Jaune will do ANYTHING to defeat his foes, including jumping into fire or allowing himself to be impaled just to gain an advantage. And... somehow he always survives. He's fallen hundreds of feet, gotten stabbed through the face, taken one thousand supernatural punches at once, and even been run over by an... elf, fairy Mothra going supersonic speeds.
"Your boyfriend is amazing!" Summer said
Wiz: But his disregard for his own safety can be costly. Honestly, the only reason he's still alive is sheer dumb luck and unstoppable willpower.
"Yup that sounds like Jaune" Yang said with a sigh
Boomstick: And if Jaune isn't tough enough on his own, he wears the Berserker Armor, the most insane battlegear you've ever seen.
Wiz: Activating the Berserker Armor seals off the wearer's nervous system, making him immune to pain and its natural inhibitions. This allows Jaune to fight at his fullest potential, boosting his power and speed at the risk of damaging his own body.
Boomstick: With this armor, Jaune's sword swing is more powerful than a cannonball, so the force can break his own arm. But don't worry: the cursed berserker armor will literally rip and pierce his body to pin the bones and muscles back in place.
"So he is invincible?" Weiss Asked
Wiz: Now don't get the wrong idea. The armor does not actually heal Jaune; it just holds him together. This is dangerous because, well, even though Jaune won't feel pain, that doesn't make him invincible.
"Never mind" Weiss said
Boomstick: Plus, the berserker armor also kinda... forces Jaune to give in to his inner demons and lose all sense of morality and restraint, making him the most violent demon-killer ever.
Wiz: Violent, and completely uncontrollable.
Boomstick: Jaune is the embodiment of rage and the epitome of badassery. Believe me, the last thing you wanna do is get in this guy's way.
Jaune approaches knights, who panic at his mere presence.
Jaune: My sword has gotten very dull. However, it's three times as thick and does three times the damage of a normal sword. You'd better pray you die quickly or this could be painful.
"And that is why he is one of the most respected men in all of universal history" Zex stated
"We all have faith in Jaune!" Ruby said before Zex could say anything.
Nightmare
(*Cues: Soul Calibur V - Legends Unveiled*)
Wiz: Long, long ago, transcending history and the world, an enormous sword was forged, designed to be the deadliest weapon on the battlefield.
Boomstick: It was called Soul Edge and it was a beast! Gigantic, powerful... sexy.
"you have were taste Boomstick" Pryhha said
Wiz: At a daunting six feet, one inch in length, no ordinary soldier could wield it... but those who could proved unstoppable.
Boomstick: It left no survivors in its wake, just like my ex-wife at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
"He really hates his wife doesn't he?" Summer Asked
"Yup" Zex stated as he sharpened a katana
Wiz: However, a great evil dwelled within the sword. After claiming victory upon victory and being bathed in the blood and hatred of countless foes,
(*Cues: Soul Calibur II - Hellfire*)
Wiz: a fire was born inside of Soul Edge.
Boomtick: Literally, it's a demon made of freaking fire!
Wiz: The demon Inferno had one purpose: to infect the world with evil and chaos, but in order to do this, he needed a warrior capable of wielding the true power of Soul Edge. He planned to possess this warrior and transform them into the azure-clad knight of darkness, Nightmare.
"That is one weird looking knight" Weiss said
"He is a demon Weiss." Zex deadpanned
(*Cues: Soul Calibur II - Eternal Struggle (Theme of Cervantes)*)
Wiz: Inferno's first victim came in the late 16th century when a pirate named Cervantes de León raided an English galleon and discovered the intriguing blade aboard, claiming it as his own.
Boomstick: But as we know, this was no ordinary, flesh-covered sword with an eyeball. Inferno seized this opportunity and possessed the pirate,
(*Cues: Soul Calibur II - Hubris*)
Boomstick: testing his body by slaughtering the entire population of a Spanish port town. Talk about a test drive!
"What!" They all yelled
Wiz: Unfortunately, while powerful, Cervantes was not the ideal vessel Inferno had sought.
Boomstick: So he made him sit in that town until two chicks showed up, killed his ass, and somebody more powerful picked up the sword.
"Asshole" Yang said through gritted teeth
Wiz: That someone was a knight named Siegfried and this was the body Inferno was looking for. Once Siegfried's hand touched Soul Edge, Inferno began eating away at his soul, torturing him endlessly and feeding on his fear and anger, transforming him into Nightmare.
(*Cues: Soul Calibur V - Chaos and Cosmos*)
Wiz: Nightmare was strong enough to threaten all of Europe, conquering whole armies and devouring thousands of innocent souls.
Boomstick: If you haven't figured it out by now, Soul Edge is kind of like the Ring from Lord of the Rings... if it can cut people and hungered for souls.
"I prefer the sword over the ring." Zex said as everyone hawked at him
"Why!?" Summer yelled
"Cause a sword that eats souls sounds so much cooler than a ring that makes you power hungry." Zex explained as he checked the edge on the katana
"Isn't that my sword?" Blake asked
"Nope, this one is mine" Zex said as he showed the guard that had a biohazard symbol on it.
"Oh" Blake said sheepishly "my bad"
"You good" Zex replied as he sheathed his katana
Wiz: However, Soul Edge's power was incomplete. At some point, it had been broken and shards of the demon sword had been scattered across the world. To unlock Soul Edge's true power, Nightmare set off to find the lost pieces of his sword and repair it.
"Classic story line" Blake said with an eye roll
Boomstick: As Nightmare discovered each shard, the power of Soul Edge grew, and so did Nightmare's.
(*Cues: Soul Calibur V - Lord Of Terror*)
Boomstick: He can fight with numerous stances, channel fire and lightning through Soul Edge, and devour the souls of hundreds at once with Soul Wave.
Nightmare lifts his sword into the air.
Nightmare: Watch this!
He channels Soul Wave as knights nearby are ensnared by the shockwave. From above, the devastation is massive.
"Z-Zex?" Ruby asked
"Yes?"
"C-Can you do that?"
"Ruby I can just not like that. I can't take souls of the innocent, my sword doesn't allow it. I'm mostly an executioner. I only take the souls of those who deserve to die. It's why I prefer apocalyptic worlds." Zex explained
"We didn't know that!" Summer yelled
"I'm on vacation from them" Zex said
"But you said you only had these powers for less than a year!" Weiss deadpanned
"I go by Zex the Executioner Weiss. So yeah I did have a job to do before I started doing this" Zex replied
(*Cues: Soul Calibur IV - Destiny Will Tell*)
Wiz: Despite Nightmare's evergrowing power, Siegfried constantly battled to free himself from Soul Edge's curse and eventually he succeeded. The two did battle atop of Ostrheinsburg Castle, but Nightmare's power was so great the entire structure was obliterated by a single swing of his vile blade.
Boomstick: Just like a crazy ex-girlfriend, he figured if he couldn't have that body, no one can.
"Sounds like Adam" Blake said with a sigh
Wiz: Soul Edge cannot be defeated by an ordinary blade. In fact, only one weapon has ever been able to harm it: a supposedly holy blade called Soul Calibur. Unknown to most, Soul Calibur is actually the final shard of Soul Edge, reforged into a second sword made specifically to combat its demonic counterpart.
Boomstick: Poor guy. How would you feel if some asshole decided to make a weapon specifically designed to murder you?
"Probably pissed off" Pryhha said
"Yup" Zex said
"Experience?" Summer asked
"You have no idea" Zex said with a sigh
(*Cues: Soul Calibur IV - Regin of Doom*)
Boomstick: And it kept showing up everywhere.
Wiz: Nightmare has come close to conquering the world on numerous occasions, yet a warrior wielding Soul Calibur always seems to show up and hold him at bay. While Soul Edge seems indestructible...
Boomstick: ...apart from that pesky holy sword...
Wiz: Inferno does require a mortal body to create Nightmare. Should Nightmare fall, Inferno can risk his own life by manifesting himself to protect Soul Edge, as his very existence is tied to the sword.
Boomstick: But if Nightmare manages to absorb that final shard, Soul Edge and Nightmare will merge into their final form:
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)
Boomstick: Night Terror, a larger, deadlier, fly-ier Nightmare.
Wiz/Weiss: Fly-ier?
Boomstick/Yang/Ruby: Yeah, when one gains the power of flying-ness? Duh.
"All three of you are morons" Weiss said as she rubbed her temples
"Come on Weiss! We are just having some fun!" Ruby said as she giggled
Wiz: No matter the time, place, or vessel, few can match the vile trio of Soul Edge, Inferno, and Nightmare.
Nightmare: Blood! Darkness! I shall drown the world in both!
"and he is a generic villain" Yang said with a sigh
"Okay im guessing you all want Jaune to win?" Zex asked as they shook their heads
"Okay then" Zex said with a shrug
Death Battle
(*Cues: Tales of Souls And Swords - Soul Calibur II*)
Nightmare is seen in a dark, bleak, lifeless forest and has gathered the pieces of Soul Edge.
"Oh no he has all the pieces!" Ruby yelled
(*Cues: Slave of Desire - Soul Calibur II*)
Nightmare raises his sword and the pieces fly onto it, transforming the blade into its true form.
Nightmare: At last! At last the time has come!
"Jaune please don't let the world end." Yang said
He is interrupted by a tree falling down towards him. The person who had cut down the tree was Jaune.
"Yes! The our knight has arrived!" Weiss said happily
"Kick his butt Jaune!" Velvet and Pryhha yelled
(*Cues: Berserk - Et Voici Guts*)
Jaune: You're in my way, stand aside.
Nightmare: Fool! Tremble in my darkness!
FIGHT!
(*Cues: Berserk - The Wrath of God (Part II)*)
Jaune rushes towards Nightmare and the swords clash. After four clashes, Jaune manages to corners Nightmare into a large rock. Nightmare blocks another blow from Jaune's sword before leaping out of the way as Jaune cuts the rock. Shortly afterward, Jaune is kicked back by Nightmare.
Nightmare: Pathetic!
"No you are!" Ruby yelled back making Zex sweatdrop
"Really Ruby? Really?" Zex Asked
Jaune reels from the blows as Nightmare punches him, charges up his swing, and launches him high into the air. Nightmare proceeds to raise his sword and charges its power before releasing a large shockwave that knocks the descending Jaune far back, eventually slamming into a tree. Jaune sees Nightmare charging towards him and jumps to avoid Nightmare's swing, which cuts down the tree. The two clash and find themselves in a standstill.
Nightmare: What's wrong? Weakling!
"No Jaune!" Pryhha yelled
Nightmare takes a few steps forward, pushing Jaune back.
Nightmare: Fear my wrath. Tremble in fe-
Jaune headbutts Nightmare mid-taunt, knocking him backward.
Everyone laughed.
Shortly afterward, Nightmare lifts Soul Edge in the air and charges it with fire.
Nightmare: Soul Calibur!
He brings the fiery blade down as time slows. Jaune raises his mechanical arm as he remains in place, receiving a small cut on his face by the sword, allowing him to aim his mechanical arm in Nightmare's face. He then prepares his arm cannon, to Nightmare's surprise.
"Yes!" Yelled the girls
Jaune: Die!
The arm cannon fires in Nightmare's face, leaving a cloud of smoke in front of his head.
"Take that you demonic bastard!" Yang yelled as Zex cleared his throat
"You are not a demon!" Yang exclaimed
"To you I am" Zex deadpanned
"He has some serious issues! What happened to Mr. Happy go lucky?" Weiss pondered
Jaune places his arm back, then is shocked to see that with the smoke settling, Nightmare still had his head.
Nightmare: Impressive.
Nightmare surrounds himself in a bright fire-light energy as Jaune braces himself. Nightmare is lifted into the air and his armor turns blood red and he grows fiery wings, becoming Night Terror. After stopping a blow from Jaune's sword, he charges and fires a large beam that knocks Jaune far through the forest, eventually crashing into a tree. Night Terror hovers toward him and fires two more beams at the reeling Jaune before stabbing Jaune into the tree.
Night Terror: Burn!
"No! Jaune!" They all yelled
He ignites his sword and then unleashes a large flaming attack that sends Jaune straight through the tree. Jaune shouts in pain as this occurs, afterward tumbling across the ground and crashing into a large rock. Night Terror points Soul Edge at Guts as he charges it up with fire.
Night Terror: Burn in darkness.
Jaune fires arrows at his opponent with his mechanical arm, to which Night Terror summons a pillar of fire to block them. Jaune then jumps through the fire toward Night Terror, managing to cut off Night Terror's arm with Soul Edge in hand, sending them to the ground. The injured Night Terror stumbles back and falls into a crouched position as Jaune shouts before swinging his sword once more, cleaving Night Terror's head in half. Jaune removes his bloodied sword from the fallen Night Terror and starts walking away.
Jaune: I told you to stay out of my way.
"Yes Jaune won!" Velvet celebrated
"Wait for it" Zex said
(*Cues: Berserk - Griffith's Dream*)
All of Night Terror's body except for his sliced off arm disappears into a shadowy smoke, to which Jaune stops in his tracks. Soul Edge floats upward into the air as Inferno emerges in a fiery blaze.
Inferno: Darkness will consume everything...
Inferno covers the battlefield in fire, severely injuring Jaune.
"Oh come on!" Blake yelled angrily
Jaune then activates his Berserker Armor and he charges at Inferno before leaping towards him. He strikes Inferno directly, resulting in Inferno and Soul Edge being cut in half. At its apex, Inferno ceases to be and all of the demonic energy has left Soul Edge. The fully-armored Jaune lands as the two halves of Soul Edge and a few shards fall to the ground as well.
KO!
Jaune repeatedly fires arrows from his mechanical arm at the powerless remains of Soul Edge.
"That's overkill" Velvet said watching Jaune repeatedly firing arrows at the broken sword.
"Cant be to safe" Summer shrugged

Boomstick: Hell yeah! Now that's what I call a swordfight! While Nightmare wields more power than Jaune, this is what Jaune does EVERY SINGLE DAY. He gets the shit kicked out of him trying to defeat gods and demons leagues above his abilities and still prevails.
Wiz: It's true. All his-
Boomstick: I mean THIS GUY lives in a world where giant monsters are trying to kill you, eat you, rape you, or all three at the same time! And that's just Monday.
Everyone looked at Zex for confirmation. "Yup. That's kinda the gist of it"
Wiz: ...it's true. All his life, Jaune has had the odds stacked against him and yet he's still kicking while everything else is dead.
Boomstick: "Ugh, but Wizard, I thought only Soul Calibur could destroy Soul Edge. Ergh..."
"wait does that mean that Jaune should have lost!?" Weiss said screaming
Wiz: That's also true, in the Soulcalibur world. However, Inferno exists on an astral plane. If you recall, Jaune's sword Dragonslayer also exists on such a plane, leaving no question that it could destroy Soul Edge. Plus, his Berserker Armor bought him plenty of time to land the killing blow.
Boomstick: Yeah, because it will literally let you fight on until all of your bones are shattered and the last drop of your blood is spilled.
Everyone shook their heads in understanding.
Wiz: And it's not like Soul Edge was gonna have any luck tempting Jaune into picking it up and turning into another Nightmare. Not only has Jaune dealt with enough demonic shit to know that's a bad idea, he REALLY loves that Dragonslayer. He's not giving that up for anything.
Boomstick: Jaune was just a whole 'nother caliber.
Everyone, except Yang, Zex, and Ruby who were laughing, groaned
Wiz: The winner is Jaune.
Zex was about to walk out of the room until he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Summer was standing right there with a worried look.
"Hey, are you okay?" She Asked
"I'm fine." Zex replied
"Really?" Weiss said skeptically "Because last I checked you are usually very loud and annoying. Not very reserved and quiet. And I don't remember you being so...?" She couldn't find the right word
"Gritty? Dark? Emo?" Ruby said
"Melancholy" Velvet said as she also realized that Zex was acting strange
"I'm a demon ladies. I've always have been. This episode just reminded me that I am one." Zex said as he shrugged Summer's hand off his shoulder
"Demons don't shake." Blake said "and last I checked they don't show love to anyone. If I remember all the stories correctly that is."
"Then you have yet to read the right stories" Zex said with a glare
"What is the matter with you!" Pryhha said as she walked up to him
"It's...personal" Zex said
"Where is your Niece by the way?" Ruby Asked
"With her grandmother" Zex replied
"Oh" Ruby said
"Zex you are no demon." Summer said "You are a man with anger that is all! Just gotta let it out in a healthy way is all."
"How? How'd you figure that out!" Zex asked dumbfounded
"Your reactions, from when you found out about Yang and Blake to your disdain of Gambino. That was what tipped me off." Summer said with a smile
Zex chuckled "I can't argue with you girls can I?"
"Nope!" They all said popping the P
"Well then. See y'all later." Zex said with a smile as he disappeared
Neptune walked in with a hangover. "Does anyone know where I can find a glass of water?"
As he asked that he was flinged into a pool that popped up out of no where. As he screamed like a little girl everyone came back in to the room.
"Did we miss anything?" Taiyang asked the screen started back up.
"Yeah I guess Zex will show you guys what you missed!" Ruby said as she hugged her dad
Sorry about the weird change of tone guys. Just went threw a personal thing yesterday. Nothing bad! Just...a bit miffed at something. Anyway hop y'all enjoyed!
