(Wednesday)
The sun rose high in the sky again as the Vytal Tournament is getting closer. From last night, RWBY has seen the most epic Death Battle they've seen yet; they've watched Goku and Superman duke it out in epic proportions and RWBY was not disappointed in the slightest. RWBY woke up and quickly got to their normal schedules for class and training so they can finish that and be ready to watch their next Death Battles.
RWBY heads to breakfast to conversate with JNPR and see their how they've enjoyed their last episodes.
Episode 16: Once again, JNPR sees a female vs female fight so it was inevitable that Jaune and Ren would, again, try to cross their legs really tight and not get teased by Pyrrha and Nora. Aside from that, Ren took the most interest out of Chun Li since her attire and fighting style is a bit similar to Ren's own and he highly respects her along with Mai. Jaune couldn't help but admit those two are hot as heck and he's trying his best to not feel a little tight while sitting next to Pyrrha and his other two friends. Nora and Pyrrha admire the two female combatants but they do feel slight jealousy that Chun has wider hips and Mai has larger breasts so the two female members of JNPR feel a little deflated but not depressed.
Episode 17: Starscream vs Rainbow Dash was both an unusual, yet, awesome match for JNPR to enjoy. For Starscream, He may be awesome with his weapons…. but he's a terrible shot and his cowardly tactics makes him unappreciated to JNPR and they hate his "shooting in the back" habits. Rainbow Dash was another combatant that gave JNPR interest. They were actually impressed of Rainbow Dash's abilities and even interested that she's a pegasus pony that can fly at mach speeds and control the weather. What really made JNPR jaw drop was the Sonic Rainboom. They actually cheered to Rainbow when she won.
Episode 18: Master Chief vs Doomguy was an epic fight that JNPR also enjoyed. All those weapons and killings got Nora all riled up at how badass and awesome that was that she wanted to smash something with her hammer at the given moment during the fight and seeing both Master Chief and Doomguy killing all those characters. It was fun and gruesome overall.
Episode 19: Eggman vs Wily was also an interesting matchup to have an army-on-army battle aside from one on one. When they've discovered the virus that infects robots, they've feared what would happen if the atlestian knights and spider droids also got infected and became monstrous killing machines. Jaune loved nearly all the robots, including Metal Sonic and Bass. Nora loved Napalm Man and pretty much any robot with destructive weapons at their disposal. Pyrrha seems to like Magnet Man for his magnetism much like her semblance. Ren doesn't have a lot but he admits they are also awesome.
Episode 20: Peach vs Zelda was quite an unusual showing princesses fighting but it was indeed fun. Nora loves pink so she approved of Peach and being a badass to show she's not entirely helpless and JNPR admired Zelda also proving she can fight with impressive magical attacks. When Peach… obliterated Zelda's head, it shocked JNPR, to say the least.
During the whole conversation, Velvet, thanks to her enhanced hearing from her rabbit ears, she heard it all and got interested in all of these 'Death Battles' and gets interested. She comes over and asks her friends what they are talking about and RWBY at first hesitated to let Velvet know about a bunch of dvds from another dimension. So they all told Velvet the very beginning to right now of finding dvds from another dimension and watching this awesome show about two combatants fighting to the death. Velvet is no big fan of violence, especially death, but she's filled with interest of this so she asked to borrow some episodes and share them to Coco, Fox and Yatsuhashi for the nights during their free times. RWBY gave her TEN episodes to keep them occupied and Velvet promised to give them back when she's done.
Time has passed and RWBY went to training by doing another mission in the Emerald forest where they need to fight larger groups of Grimm to improve their training so it's vital to be prepared against serious threats, especially when they come in large numbers. RWBY managed to find a large group of grimm consisting of Beowolves, Ursa and even a few creepers.
As Ruby, Weiss and Blake drawn their weapons, Yang didn't and walks ahead and getting closer to the Grimm.
"Yang…. what are you doing?" Ruby asked her sister in confusion and concern.
(Cue Super Saiyan 3 theme)
Yang didn't answer as she's thirty feet away from the closest Grimm which snarls at her as they all stare at Yang.
Yang opens her eyes and then stares at the Grimm with no fear. Suddenly, Yang begins to glow slightly as she puts her hands close together. The Grimm watch in curiosity. Little does RWBY know, Ozpin and Glynda are also watching on their scrolls back at Beacon at what Yang is up to.
"Wait… she's not…" Weiss said in disbelief as she watches her teammate begin to do a familiar move from the recent episode they saw.
A small ball of aura begins to form between her hands as it slowly gets larger. She begins to chant the famous attack from Dragon Ball.
"Kaaaaaaameeeeeeee-"
"Yep, she's doing it." Blake deadpanned as she watches her partner doing what she warned her about yesterday.
"-haaaaaaaameeeeee-"
Beads of sweat is rolling down Yang's face as her aura is all being focused into the orb. Aura is meant to be defensive, not offensive. She's starting to feel tired and exhausted but Yang doesn't care as she wants to pull off something awesome. She thrusts her hands forward to release the aura beam
"Haaa-"
But unfortunately…. it didn't go out as Yang wanted to as the ball of aura exploded. Dust and smoke flown everywhere while RWB stared at the scenery with shock while the Grimm stood there dumbfounded and Ozpin and Glynda were surprised at seeing this as well.
As the smoke cleared, Yang stood in that same pose with wide eyes and covered in smoke. She coughed out a bit of dust and muttered a response before passing out.
"Worth it."
She fell over and was knocked out. Weiss and Blake facepalmed while Ruby had a look of both awe and and concern of her sister. The Grimm looked at each other, shrugged and charged. RWB responded and attacked as they had to defend Yang.
Yang had to be escorted back to Beacon and she had to stay at the infirmary for an hour until she recovered her aura again and got better. Weiss and Blake couldn't believe their teammate just went and did that… and failed.
After another long day of classes and training, RWBY returned to their dorm and continued their next episode as they got out their snacks and drinks. Ruby puts in episode 26 and hits play
RWBY is introduced to a culture… known as the 80s.
Wiz: Ahh, the glorious 80's. That odd era of big hair, key-tars, and goofy muscular heroes with questionable sexual preference.
"Yep… that era is odd, indeed." Weiss said. She and her teammates have never heard of key-tars and the big hair was weird. Not to mention the two combatants they are about to watch to indeed look kinda silly and muscular along with their 'questionable sexual preference'.
"Still gonna enjoy who's gonna fight." Yang said
Boomstick: He-Man, Master of the Universe.
Wiz: And Lion-O, lord of the Thundercats.
"Now those names are quite fitting." Blake admitted while Ruby was excited.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their armor, weapons and skill to find out who would win a Death Battle.
The first thing RWBY sees is a muscular blonde haired man wearing a white shirt with a reddish-pink vest, purple pants and darker purple tights over it. He's running into battle with his tiger by his side.
Prince Adam: Let's go, Cringer!
Announcer: He-Man and Battlecat are about to make an appearance.
"He-Man!"
Wiz: Prince Adam is the pathetic bumbling son to the royal family of Eternia.
Weiss actually admired and respected Adam being a royal lineage to Eternia like Weiss, herself, being the heiress to her father's company…. then Adam ran into a torchlight and falls over.
Ruby and Yang were laughing. Blake chuckled a bit and Weiss facepalmed.
"Dear lord…" Weiss muttered.
Boomstick: haha, dumbass.
BACKGROUND
Alter ego: Prince Adam
Height: 2.1 m / 6'11"(As tall as Junior)
Weight: 145 kg / 320 lbs
Descendant of King Grayskull
Leader of the Heroic Warriors
Trained by Man-at-Arms & Teela
An excellent singer? (Weiss approves since she's also an excellent singer)
Wiz: Then one day, a bird-clad sorceress gave him the secret powers of Castle Greyskull, transforming him into He-Man, the most powerful chippendale in the universe.
"Well… at least his universe." Blake added since they remembered there are other power houses they seen in other episodes.
Prince Adam: Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said, "By the power of Grayskull…"
Adam drawn his sword chanted the line and was enveloped in a bright light. Adam is now a muscular toned man with his chest exposed and his legs are also well toned. He's wearing nothing but a full covered spandex, furred boots, metal bracelets, and a battle harness on his chest. RWBY, especially Yang, was blushing at seeing such a hunk of a man in a barbaric outfit.
He-Man: "I HAVE THE POWER!"
"Man… that's what I call manly~. Yang purred.
Boomstick: Wait, wait, that's his story? He just thrusts his sword up and down and yelled some random shit until he turned into a near-naked superhero?
Wiz: Well, more like a cheap action figure.
"Totally makes sense." Weiss commented. Lot's of action figures are hammy and such so it's no surprise to her.
POWERS
Herculean strength (Yang approves)
Super durability
Super speed (Ruby approves)
Super breath
Can create a tornado (much like Dew Gayl from NDGO)
Boomstick: He-Man possesses herculean strength, speed, durability, and a super breath which can breath over most foes…
RWBY was impressed with his superhuman abilities and similar to Superman.
"So awesome" Ruby fangirled.
Boomstick: And probably a few other things, if you know what I'm saying.
Ruby didn't really get it but WBY blushed a bit when that was said in a different context. The scene changed and RWBY looked upon He-Man's sword. Ruby was drooling and Weiss had stars in her eyes how beautiful the sword.
"That sword…. it's so marvelous." Weiss said.
ARSENAL
Power Sword
-Indestructible
-Boomerang throw (some swords in Remnant can also do that)
-Deflects destructive waves
-Merged with Sword of the Ancients
Other magical properties
Bolas
Grappling hook
Shield
Korodite battle harness (Yang wants one)
-Multiplies his strength by 10
Wiz: The indestructible Power Sword is the conduit for his immutability and has some unique powers of its own.
Boomstick: Like any good sword, it deflects lasers and can also do a bunch of other stuff like magnetize special rings, or tie people up with magic S&M.
RWBY was really interested in the sword's magical properties and versatile attacks…. but WBY was blushing when they heard "magic S&M" while Ruby didn't get what that meant.
"Boomstick…. I swear" Weiss muttered.
Wiz: And while he's skilled enough to throw his sword like a boomerang, he occasionally uses ranged gear, such as a grappling hook or bolas, to battle the evil of Skeletor.
Ruby loves the bolas and grappling hooks.
This Skeletor villain is an evil guy with a skeleton skull for a head who is He-Man's arch nemesis.
Boomstick: I don't know where he's keeping all those things. I mean he's pretty much na-
He-Man pulls a pair of bolas out of his spandex which made RWBY blush even more.
Boomstick: WOAH-HO-HO-HOOH!
"I wonder what else he keeps under there~" Yang purred.
"Yang…. just stop." Weiss facepalmed.
Boomstick: You'd think he'd keep it in his battle harness made of Korodite, which, by the way, further multiplies his already insane strength by ten.
"I want one…" Yang muttered.
"Me too…" Ruby agreed.
"Every cool thing you two see makes you want it." Blake said.
He-Man: That's what the sorceress fashioned this harness from. It helps add to my power.
What RWBY sees now is a large, green tiger with yellowish-orange stripes. He looks timid and even a bit shy.
RWBY, especially Blake, found the tiger cute when he was a cub.
Wiz: Prince-Adam is not the only one getting a power-up. He has an adopted cat whom he saved from the jungle at a young age.
Boomstick: He named him Cringer 'cause… well... he's a little bitch.
RWBY laughed how cringer was being a scaredy cat and hiding under Prince Adam's shirt when he was a cub.
Boomstick: But whenever He-Man transforms, he zaps the little pussy, transforming him into the ferocious Battle Cat.
When Cringer became Battle Cat, RWBY stared in awe that he's no longer a wimpy cat, but now a ferocious, bloodthirsty, battle armor wearing tiger with large saber teeth.
Battle Cat let's out a roar.
"So awesome!" Ruby said.
"I would want to ride that into battle." Yang said with impression.
Blake was most impressed.
Wiz: Despite Cringer's reluctance and downright refusal to do so.
Boomstick: He's kinda like the Michael Vick of Cartoon heroes.
"Don't know who that is." Blake said.
Cringer: *Hiding in a cave and not coming out* Oh no. My mother didn't raise any foolish children.
RWBY giggled how cowardly Cringer is.
BATTLE CAT
Alter ego: Cringer
Height: 1.5 m / 5' [on all fours]
Weight: 226.8 kg / 500 lbs
Tiger/Dragon mixed hybrid (Much to RWBY's shock and awe)
Vicious & volatile
He-Man-like powers
-Super strength
-Super speed
-Roar can cause earthquakes
Wiz: Granted, Battle Cat is a tremendous asset. He is so vicious it's implied if he doesn't transform back into Cringer, he could go on an unstoppable rampage.
"Yikes. Who knows what would happen if he did." Yang said.
Wiz: After all, he is half tiger half dragon.
Boomstick and Ruby: Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme!
Hearing the mention of Battle Cat being a hybrid of tiger and dragon made Ruby want one so bad.
Wiz: He-Man has moved mountains, reversed a tornado, run in circles fast enough to create a vacuum.
"What?" RWBY said in confusion. Moving mountains and reversing tornadoes was understandable, which is also impressive, they were confused about making the vacuum part.
Boomstick: The fuck?
Wiz: And dug to the center of the planet with nothing but a broken stalactite.
This isn't a joke. RWBY sees He-Man using a stalactite and drilling through the earth… and the stalactite doesn't wear down for no reason.
"WHAT?!" RWBY said in disbelief.
Boomstick: The DOUBLE fuck?!
Weiss was completely dumbfounded after that. There is no way a stalactite should be able to reach the core of a planet without wearing down.
"Did he just use… a stalactite…. to the center of the planet?" Weiss said in disbelief.
"Yep… and there's more where that came from." Blake answered as they see all the other insane feats He-Man is doing.
FEATS
Moved a mountain (No kidding)
Lifted the city of Arcadia
Reversed a Tornado (That would leave Dew in shock)
Has battled Superman (Much to RWBY's surprise)
Pushed a moon (Again, no kidding)
And many other seemingly impossible feats
Wiz: He even shattered photanium, the strongest metal in his universe when even his closest friends believed it would be too much for him.
"If saying that the metal mentioned is the strongest in his universe and he easily shattered it, I think that speaks a lot for itself." Blake said impressed. Yang was most impressed that He-Man can shatter metal like that with ease.
Boomstick: And he traded blows with Superman.
RWBY was actually surprised that Superman made an appearance and He-Man is trading blows with him.
Boomstick: You know, that one guy who can lift entire planets and maybe killed your favorite person ever?
RWBY sees Goku and Superman fighting.
Boomstick: That one.
"Why would they mention Goku vs Superman?" Weiss said in question.
"Goku was one of my favorites," Yang said. Goku was indeed one of her favorites but she's not complaining he lost because she did enjoy the fight anyway.
Wiz: Well, he's not that strong. But he did manage to push a moon once… err… twice.
"Still ridiculously powerful." Blake commented. "Pushing celestial bodies, planets or moons, is pretty OP already.
WEAKNESSES
May revert back into Adam from extreme force
Power from Grayskull can be relinquished
Lacks deadly ranged gear
Limited experience with violence (much to Yang's disbelief)
Wiz: But, despite his miraculous strength, he is not invincible. Enough raw force can revert him back into the far more vulnerable state of Prince Adam. He also despises violence.
Yang was shocked at hearing that. How could such a manly strong man such as He-Man despise violence?
Wiz: Preferring to outsmart opponents and thus has much less physical combat experience than you think.
"Okay… now he sounds less awesome." Yang said. But she still admits he's still showed a lot of badass feats nonetheless.
"Yeah! Still awesome!" Ruby agreed.
Boomstick: still, he's still beating the ever living crap out of people, no matter what planet or series he's on.
Wiz: That's right. The 1990's New Adventures of He-Man is technically the same He-Man we all know. Giving him much more experience-
Boomstick: Wait, wait, wait! What was that?
RWBY is confused why they stopped.
Wiz: Shhh! This vital.
Boomstick: No, no, no! Go back! Go back! *Rewinds scenery* Right there!
RWBY sees He-Man holding a severed chain, attached to a beast that was plowing the fields, that snapped…. then he puts it back together just by pushing them together and it reattaches itself… for no apparent reason.
He-Man: There you go fella. Good as new.
RWBY was dumbfounded. They've watched He-Man do THAT with no apparent reason in how he fixed the chain.
"This guy just keeps doing something that can't be explained." Weiss muttered.
Boomstick: WHA-?! "Okay! So it's broken! I'll just magic it back together!"
Wiz: The magic of the 80's Boomstick…. the magic of the 80's….
Ruby, Yang and Blake were laughing while Weiss facepalmed again.
"That era sounds like a time I DO NOT want to experience." Weiss muttered.
Boomstick: Magic of lazy writing.
A drawbridge lowers and there's He-Man, on Battle Cat, staring at his opponents.
He-Man: Next time, you might try knocking first.
"He-Man!"
After that. RWBY was impressed with what He-Man is. Yang admits he's quite the hunk and admires his strength and impossible feats. Weiss admires his royal lineage compared to her heiress status for her father's company. Blake is impressed with Battle Cat. Ruby also likes the Power Sqord and Battle Cat. She even wishes Zwei is also the Battle Dog. But what shocked them the most is He-Man doing the impossible… almost as much as Superman.
On to the next opponents.
The next opponent is a cat-man with brown fur, red mane-like, spiky hair, and orange eyes. He wearing a masculine sports bra that's attached to his wrestling shorts and having a belt with a symbol on that looks like a black cat and he's wielding a cool sword.
"Thundercats!"
Lion-O: Let's get this show on the road!"
Blake was blushing how handsome Lion-O was and Yang took notice.
"Having a slight crush, kitty cat?" She teased.
Blake blushed a little further.
"Uh… NO! He's just…. admirable."
"Right." Yang said with a cocky smirk. She knew Blake is trying to hide it.
Wiz: As a child, Lion-O barely escaped the destruction of his home planet Thundera.
RWBY felt sympathy they had to another planet get destroyed that likely had another sentient race on it.
Wiz: His father sent him Third Earth with five Thunderian nobles to uphold the royal lineage.
"That sounds almost like-." Weiss commented.
Boomstick: You know, I'm really getting tired of people ripping off Superman.
"I was gonna say that." Weiss muttered.
Wiz: But the kryptonian comparison stops there. As on route to Third Earth, a suspension capsule malfunctions… or something that's not really explained.
"No explanation? Some way to start a story such as this." Blake said.
Wiz: Caused his body to age ten years.
"Wait. He said his body aged ten years." Weiss said in slight disbelief.
Lion-O's father: During that time, he grew in size but he did not grow up.
RWBY was shocked. They thought Lion-O was an adult but it turns out his body aged but not his mentality; making him still a child somewhat. Yang now has the opportunity to tease Blake.
"So you now have a crush on a cat-man with the mind of a child? Isn't he too young for you?" She teased.
Blake was blushing and glaring at Yang. True, Lion-O is handsome but him being technically young feels kind of weird to the cat faunus.
Lion-O: *Climbing out of the capsule and confused* What's going on? *Bumps his head on the capsule lid* Oh!
Boomstick: Ah. We missed the cute kitty stage.
Everybody was silent as they see a cute picture of a cat wearing a lion's mane that made it look cute. RWBY a'wwwd at the cute kitty. But they were also stunned seeing a soft side of Boomstick.
"Didn't Boomstick mention a kitten launcher?" Ruby asked in confusion.
"Yes. But he seems to adore them as well." Weiss said.
Boomstick: Shut up! Kittens are adorable!
"And there you have it." Yand said with a smile.
BACKGROUND
Age: 13 years, physically 23
Height: 1.9 m / 6'4" (As tall as Adam)
Weight: 102 kg / 225 lbs
Species: Thunderian
Lord of the Thundercats
Trained by Thundercat nobles
Has command over all cats (much to Blake's impression)
Wiz: As the newly crowned lord of the Thundercats, Lion-O is the leader of the group and commands all of cat kind.
Ruby was smiling with pride since Lion-O is the leader of his team and Blake is impressed he can control cat kind.
Snarf: Lion-O has power over all cats!
Lion-O's nemesis appears to be some kind of demonic being covered in long bandages, like mummy, wearing a red cloak with a hood, and his symbol are two snakes.
Wiz: Against the evil forces of Mumm-Ra, Lion-O was forced to mature on the battlefield. He is a quick learner, helped by his cat like abilities and attributes.
"So is Blake!" Ruby cheerfully said. Blake smiled with pride since she also has cat like abilities and attributes due to being a cat faunus.
Boomstick: Which means he's got superhuman agility and senses.
Wiz: Right. For example, while a human's nose has 5 million odor sensitive cells, a cat's has over 200 million.
RWY was shocked at hearing a fact of the day while Blake smirked with pride.
"Does a cat faunus have that many cells in their noses." Weiss said in question.
"Well. Some cat faunus can have that many. But most have about 100 million." Blake answered. Blake does have a good sense of smell but prefers to hear where her opponents are.
Wiz: Cats can hear 5 times better, have panoramic vision, and use their whiskers, like antenna to scan for trouble. Meaning it's very unlikely for curiosity to kill a cat… unless they are distracted by bright shiny things.
Blake showed slight irritation at the mention of cats being distracted by bright shiny things while her three teammates giggled at that.
Boomstick: Lion-O wears a manly sports bra and wrestling shorts. And doesn't seem to own anything else.
"Not that I mind." Blake said without realizing it and blushed once she did and RWY giggled even more.
Boomstick: Guess someone forgot to pack, oh, you know, CLOTHES for the interplanetary trip?!
RWBY saw how clothes work as they start off as fabric that magically wrap around the somewhat naked Thunderians and the fabric turns into cloths. Since Weiss does have a taste in fashion, she actually was intrigued and wished Remnant had clothes that could do that.
What they saw next is what Ruby wanted to see the whole time. That sword. In dagger mode, the crossguard points downward. In blade mode, it's a double edge sword with a crossguard that curves upward. Ruby was drooling at the awesome looking weapon and even Weiss admits it looks beautiful.
Boomstick: Wardrobe aside, he wields the Sword of Omens. A pocket sized dagger which transforms into an epic blade after the most badass battle cry ever.
Lion-O: Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats! HOOOOOO!
"That's an awesome battle cry." Yang commented with a smirk.
"So awesome!" Ruby shouted.
SWORD OF OMENS
Cuts through most metals (Ruby drools)
Extends Immeasurably
Can be summoned from a distance
Flight
Casts force fields
Sword Beams
-Lightning, fire, or varied temperatures
-Taser + "guiding" beam
-Scattered explosive beams
-Many, many more
Boomstick: It's an extremely durable, double-edge blade that cuts through stone and steel with ease. It can fly, make force fields and shoot over 15 different kinds of beams. Lightning bolts, fire blasts and even a tractor beam which Lion-O can guide things with which is great when you're on the couch. "Sword of Omens, bring me snacks beyond snacks…. and a beer.
Ruby was again drooling at all the capabilities this sword has and she wished she had one like that. Weiss was also impressed with the swords versatility much like her own rapier that wields many kinds of dust. They notice inside the hilt is a red jewel with a cat head as it's symbol.
THE EYE OF THUNDERA
A separate, living entity (much to RWBY's surprise)
Limitless magical power
Grants super strength
Alerts of relevant danger
Source of ThunderCat life
Sight-Beyond-Sight
-Surveys events across space & time
-Visual & audible
Cosmic & magnetic fields can interfere
Wiz: The sword's power stems from the gem in its hilt. The Eye of Thundera. A legendary jewel with limitless magical power which it's wielder can call upon, even from a great distance such as inside a black hole.
RWBY was awed and intrigued by this interesting jewel that can even reach Lion-O from a black hole.
Lion-O: Sword of Omens, come to my hand! *The sword obeys and heads to where it's master.
Wiz: It is powerful enough to hold a planet together.
RWBY jaw dropped at that mention.
Wiz: And can spot people and events across space and time.
Lion-O: *Using the Sword of Omens* Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight. *The sword shows him what he needs to see*.
Lion-O's next tool that Ruby was eyeing at was a gauntlet that looked like that of a lion paw and arm.
Boomstick: He wears the claw shield. An extremely durable, claw glove thing with which, in his first outing, he effortlessly punched down a tree. Hey! That's like how I catch squirrels for supper!
Ruby, Blake and Yang were laughing while Weiss facepalmed hearing how Boomstick hunts for squirrels.
CLAW SHIELD
Extremely durable claw
4 grappling hooks
Claw-shot
Smokescreen
Highly reflective surface
Claws can pierce stone
Small, portable size
Sheaths the Sword of Omens
Wiz: The Claw Shield may be small but it's proven effective against blades, blows, and lasers. As a bonus, it has four grappling hooks, a smokescreen, and functions as a neat little scabbard for the Sword of Omens.
Ruby was squealing in excitement at how awesome a gauntlet like that can have so many functions.
Boomstick: But the Claw Shield can't protect him from everything.
Wiz: While Lion-O is quite sophisticated for a 13 year old, oversized, man kitten, He is still somewhat immature and hot blooded.
"Kind of like my baby sister." Yang teased Ruby who pouted.
"I can be immature at times, but I don't get reckless…. mostly." Ruby finished.
WEAKNESSES
Thundranium (Similar to Kryptonite)
Very reliant on eye
Minimal education
Somewhat immature & hot-blooded (Like Ruby being immature and Yang being reckless)
The eye is the source of his life.
Wiz: Also, both Lion-O and the Eye of Thundera share a common weakness to a glowing red rock called Thundranium….
"Wait…. that sounds almost like… kryptonite." Blake pointed out.
Wiz: ...okay, I lied, there was one more Superman ripoff.
"Guess he spilled the beans." Weiss said.
"At least he's being honest." Ruby said.
Wiz: While the eye is one of the most powerful weapons ever conceived, it may also be his greatest weakness.
"Sounds typical." Blake commented.
Turns out, it's the source of life for all Thundercats.
That surprised RWBY but they kinda saw it coming.
Wiz: So if it's destroyed, so is Lion-O… and his entire race.
RWBY felt concerned for that Lion-O is carrying a jewel attached to his weapon and at the risk it will be destroyed and lead to his race's extinction.
"Lion-O is at a big risk if he's using that in battle." Weiss said
Boomstick: *Sarcastic* I know! I'll bring it into constant danger and get disarmed A LOT!
"That does make sense." Weiss also said sarcastically.
FEATS
Lifted & threw an Ancient Spirit of Evil
Beat Panthro in combat
Beat Cheetara in a 5 mile sprint (Much to Ruby's impression)
Pulled an escaping starship down (Yang is impressed a lot)
Survived the planet's core
survived the vacuum of space (What?)
Held together a broken planet
Wiz: Still, Lion-O is stronger, smarter and faster than any other Thundercat. He can pull down a spaceship attempting escape velocity.
Yang whistles with impression.
Wiz: And won a foot race against Cheetara who can run 120 miles per hour.
That stunned RWBY. Most hunters and huntresses can't even run half that fast without using their aura so that speaks volumes for Lion-O.
Boomstick: Oh look, he fought Superman too.
"Seems like He-Man isn't the only one." Blake said with a smirk which Yang chuckled.
Wiz: He's tough enough to survive boiling water-
RWBY cringed at hearing that since boiling water is not pleasant to be in.
Wiz: The molten core of the planet and even the…. vacuum of space?
RWBY was dumbfounded.
Boomstick: 80's magic Wiz…. 80's lazy written magic.
"I think the 80's is an era I want to meet." Yang said jokingly.
"I don't." Weiss muttered.
Lion-O: Sword of Omens, give me power beyond power! HOOOOO!
After that, RWBY also admired Lion-O. Ruby was most impressed with the Sword of Omens' awesome features that she was drooling over. Weiss also liked the Sword of Omens' versatility. Blake admired Lion-O and now even has a slight crush on him. Yang likes how badass he really is…. almost as much as He-Man.
"Who will win?" Ruby announced.
"He-Man." Yang said.
"Lion-O." Blake answered. "But I don't mind if he wins or loses."
"Can't decide." Weiss said.
"Then let's see who will win, then." Ruby said as they finally watch the battle begin.
Wiz: Alright. The combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!
The first thing RWBY sees is Prince Adam standing in the middle of a forest.
Prince Adam: Okay, Cringer. Let's try this again. This time, no whining, okay?
Cringer is hiding in a bush like the coward he is.
Cringer: Oh no. Not again.
RWBY chuckled how cowardly the dragon/tiger hybrid is.
Adam draws his Power Sword.
Prince Adam: By the power of Grayskull! *Prince Adam is enveloped in an energy field and transforms into He-Man*
"He-Man!"
He-Man: I HAVE THE POWER!
"He-Man!"
"That battle cry never gets old." Yang said with pride.
He-Man aims his sword at the bush, without looking, and shoots Cringer with a beam of energy which transforms Cringer into Battlecat.
Cringer: The pain! *Roars*
Nearby, Lion-O is walking through the forest and hears a roar that sounds like it's in pain.
Lion-O: That sounds like trouble. *Draws the Sword of Omens and chants his battle cry as the sword extends* Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats! *Lightning* HO!
"Neither is that one." Blake also said.
Lion-O: Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight.
Back to He-Man. Cringer in now Battlecat with armor and He-Man mounts him.
He-Man: Alright, Battlecat. Let's go do something normally perceived as impossible.
Lion-O: Stop right there!
Lion-O appears in front of He-Man and Battlecat.
Lion-O : You would mound that poor pussy like some kind of mule? You muscular fiend! *To Battlecat* Noble tiger, turn on your master!
Due to Lion-O's ability to command cats of all kinds, Battlecat took the command and bucked He-Man off his back who hits the ground with a thud.
He-Man: He must have control over animals.
In a split second, He-Man ran up to Battlecat and uppercuts the beast sky high. RWBY did not see that coming.
He-Man: That should keep you busy for a while.
Lion-O: I am Lion-O. Lord of the Thundercats. And you will pay for your animal cruelty.
RABY all sweatdropped as they are aware this is some kind of misunderstanding.
"I think we are getting off the wrong foot here." Ruby said nervously since a fight is about to happen.
"Still, I'm gonna enjoy it." Yang said.
He-Man: I am He-Man. *Draws his Power Sword* Back off, feline. You are clearly not equipped to-
Lion-O draws his Sword of Omens which extends.
He-Man: Ooooh~
RWBY was dumbfounded at He-Man's comment.
"Did he just….. react like that?" Weiss pondered. Ruby, Blake and Yang aren't sure what to say.
"Let's just watch the fight." Blake said so they don't need to know anything else that's questionable. Ruby was shaking in excitement to see the fight.
FIGHT!
Lion-O fires a lightning blast who deflects it back which resulted Lion-O to block the bolt. He-Man jumped over to a nearby boulder which he effortlessly heaved it over his shoulders and hurled it at Lion-O. Lion-O saw the large rock heading towards him and he leaped at it while slicing through it with his sword like butter. Both muscular heroes go into an epic clash of blades that send of sparks. Ruby was grinning ear to ear at the spectacular fight.
Lion-O then uses his speed to try to swipe He-Man from the sides or back but He-Man's reflexes managed to block Lion-O's attacks and even disarmed him as the Sword of Omens flies out of the cat man's hand.
He-Man: Surrender! You are defenseless!
Lion-O isn't completely helpless.
Lion-O: I've got plenty of tricks left!
He gets out his Claw Shield and sprays a cloud of smoke which blocks He-Man's vision.
He-Man: *Coughing* Have to… clear this….
He-Man takes a deep breath and blows the smoke away and can now see better but Lion-O is gone.
He-Man: There. Now where did he go?
The camera shifts over to one of the trees which Lion-O is hiding behind. He needs to get his sword back if he wants to win the fight.
Lion-O: *Whispering* Sword of Omens… come to me.
He-Man: I heard that.
RWBY was surprised by He-Man hearing Lion-O whispering.
"Does He-Man also have super hearing?" Ruby said in a mix of confusion and excitement.
"Since he heard Lion-O whispering that far away, yeah, I think he does." Blake responded.
He-Man dashes towards the tree at incredible speeds that nearly rival Lion-O's and, with one punch, obliterates the tree.
"He-Man!"
Ruby had stars in her eyes how awesome that was while Yang like that.
"Do we have to keep hearing that?" Weiss lampshaded with annoyance at hearing the audio saying He-Man's name which the other girls giggled.
Lion-O's sword returns to him and he fires more lightning bolts but He-Man still blocks and deflects them with his sword. The prince of Grayskull then throws his sword but it misses Lion-O and proceeds to head back to it's master but Lion-O ain't letting that happen.
Lion-O: Not so fast!
He catches the sword with a tractor beam and then plunges it into the ground blade first. Lion-O gets out the Claw Shield again and shoots four ropes at He-Man which ensnare him.
Lion-O: Want to keep going? Looks like you're a bit "tied up" at the moment.
"Great… now he is making puns." Weiss groaned while Yang laughed and smiled with pride.
He-Man: *Groans* Sorry, cat man. But you won't "String me along" that easily.
He-Man easily breaks the ropes by flexing and flexing his arm.
"He-Man!"
Weiss facepalmed while Yang was laughing. Ruby and Blake slightly chuckled despite it being a pun.
With He-Man disarmed, Lion-O sends off a volley of lightning bolts which forces He-Man to run and dodge.
He-Man: A whirlwind should blow him off course.
The prince of Grayskull spins around and creates a tornado which he sends at Lion-O who then gets sucked inside the vortex of wind.
Lion-O: I….think…. I…. got a…. hairball! *Gags*
Lion-O is thrown out of the tornado and lands on his feet easily. Both charge towards each other, after He-Man retrieves his sword. Lion-O was slightly quicker as he dashed past He-Man and grazed his chest with his sword which drew some blood.
RWBY cringed a little.
Lion-O: Feel the power of Thundera!
Lion-O blasts a powerful beam into the prince of Grayskull which sends him flying far back that he even flew out of sight.
Lion-O: Now to finish you off! Wait… where did you go?
"Didn't you blast him out of sight?" Weiss asked sarcastically.
Lion-O: Sword of Omens. Give me sight beyond sight.
The sword shows him a faraway mountain which is in the same valley as he is in.
Lion-O: Hmm.. a mountain. Why show me this?
Suddenly, upon closer inspection, the mountain is slowly being rising, much to to RWBY's surprise.
"Oh right…. he's strong enough to move mountains." Blake said which Ruby, Weiss and Yang also realized.
Lion-O: Wait a minute… that's…. impossible.
After realizing what is happening, the entire mountain is moving.
"He-Man!"
Without warning, the mountain is flung high into the sky and is falling towards Lion-O like a falling meteor and threatening to crush him.
RWBY jaw dropped at the enexpecting moment. Even Lion-O couldn't believe what he's seeing.
Lion-O: By Thundera!
Lion-O concentrates with the Sword of Omens and Eye of Thundera as the Thundercats Theme song begins playing.
Lion-O: Sword of Omens... give me power beyond power!
With that said, a massive golden beam shoots out of the sword and towards the mountain out of sight. A second later, a beam makes contact and the mountain is vaporized to dust.
RWBY jaw dropped again.
"That is so awesome!" Ruby shouted. WBY also couldn't help but admit it was awesome.
Lion-O smirked at the accomplishment but was short lived as He-Man was sprinting towards Lion-O and punches him… hard.
"He-Man!"
He-Man's theme comes into play.
Lion-O is dazed as He-Man runs by and punches him again. He-Man leaps towards Lion-O who quickly erects a shield around him. He-Man hits the shield about five times which shatters like glass from the fifth hit. Lion-O stumbles back but extends his sword at He-Man who was left open and it impales his chest as blood is drawn. He-Man exclaims in pain which RWBY cringed again.
Lion-O: Time for the climatic finally!
He-Man did something unexpectedly; He punched the sword a wave, in slow motion, travels across the blade until it reaches the hilt and the entire sword shatters into shards of metal. The Eye of Thundera is all that's left as it fall to the ground.
"He-Man!"
RWBY, once again, jaw dropped in disbelief at another impossible feat He-Man has achieved. Even Lion-O was blown away from what he saw with his hand over his face.
Lion-O: That's not possible!
"Unless your He-Man." Yang answered.
He-Man leaps down on Lion-O which brutally injured him to the point he's down. He-Man walks away as Lion-O groans in pain.
He-Man: Ha-ha! You are finished.
Suddenly, the Eye of Thundera is now floating in midair and staring at He-Man. RWBY watches in curiosity and knowing something is gonna happen.
He-Man: That gem…. it's looking at me.
Without warning, the gem blasts He-Man with a powerful blast of energy that he can barely withstanding. He slowing slowly approaches the jewel and grabs it in his hands.
He-Man: Grayskull! Give me the strength of the castle's secrets!
And with that… He-Man shatters the gym… and Lion-O lays still.
RWBY remained silent as He-Man approaches Lion-O who is now dead.
He-Man: Well… looks like curiosity killed THIS cat.
Blake felt offended hearing that. Weiss was gonna retort at the lame pun until they heard something falling and landed on the ground with a soft thud…. it was Battlecat. He seems fine after that long fall. Compared to Yang who went airborne, from Nora hitting during the food fight, and fell for a little over a minute…. Battlecat was gone for nearly FOUR minutes and he seems fine. Even Yang was most impressed.
He-Man started laughing.
K.O!
RWBY was stunned at what just happened. Ruby and Yang started whooping and hollering how awesome that was. Weiss was dumbfounded at this type of comedy after the fight and Blake was a little disappointed Lion-O lost. To make further insult, Battlecat is now eating Lion-O's corpse while He-Man is singing with rainbows in the background. On with the results.
"He-Man!"
Boomstick: What a crushing defeat.
Weiss groaned from that pun while Yang laughed again.
Wiz: While He-Man had little trouble over powering Lion-O's physique, the Eye of Thundera is easily the most dangerous weapon He-Man has ever faced. More than capable of obliterating him if given the chance.
"Which it didn't." Blake pointed out.
Boomstick: Not only can the Power Sword deflect all of Lion-O's main attacks, it's obvious He-Man's strong enough to break the Sword of Omens. Just like the how the super strong and horribly named Tug-Mug broke it in the Thundercats show.
They were all surprised the sword can break like that.
"Darn…. I thought it was unbreakable." Ruby said in slight disappointment but she still loves the sword anyway.
Wiz: A moon weighs approximately 70 quintillion metric tons. The highest official amount a human being ever lifted without support is over 260 kilograms (573 lbs).
"Pfft. I can effortlessly bench more than that." Yang said since we've seen her effortlessly carry around a massive stereo with one arm and also sending 700 lb. Ursa flying like ragdolls.
"That's because they lack aura, Yang." Weiss pointed out.
Wiz: Even after excluding the Korodite battle harness, He-Man is 10 quadrillion times stronger than the strongest man on Earth.
RWBY was awed and stunned at He-Man's strength… which is still below that of Superman's but still impressive nonetheless.
Boomstick: See? And you guys all thought He-Man pound a pussy.
Weiss, Blake and Yang were blushing hearing it slightly out of context but Ruby thought it meant hurting a poor kitty.
Wiz: The winner is He-Man.
RWBY cheered for He-Man's victory but also respected Lion-O for putting up a good fight.
"He-Man!"
He-Man: Remember kids. It is very important to always get your pets spayed and neutered
For a second, RWBY swore they heard Zwei whining as if he's scared.
He-Man: Otherwise, it may lead to unstable behaviour and unauthorized breeding.
Battlecat: Rawr, I miss my balls!
Ruby and Yang were laughing while Weiss facepalmed and Blake rolled her eyes. They looked at Zwei again who's whimpering in his bed.
"Yang….. is dad gonna take Zwei to get fixed someday?" Ruby said in slight concern.
"Maybe not…. but I'll talk to him sometime about it to make sure he doesn't." Yang assured her sister.
Weiss silently agreed because she wants to see puppies that are so cute. Blake was unsure.
Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle.
RWBY heard lighting and what startled them was a man with a slasher smile, no pupils in his white eyes.
?: Kneel before my Psycho Power.
Then they see another figure in armor, a skull for a helmet and orange colored reptilian eyes staring at them.
?: You weak pathetic fool. *Evil laughter*
RWBY was nervous as Ruby puts in the next disc and hits play.
