"Huh…" Skorch muttered in shock, looking on his laptop. "Wow… a… a lot of you guys really liked this story… I don't wanna take the credit for this, like I said, JLyman was the originator. Anyhow… I've got some reviews I wanna respond to real quick…
IronTiger26 - I am ecstatic that someone took in this fic, and you did a fantastic job if I do say. As for what battle should be after Yoshi vs Riptor, perhaps Wolverine vs Raiden, Naruto vs Ichigo or Guts vs Nightmare. And as for telling them about being fictional, I'd say tell them, mainly telling them how they've inspired a lot of people. (I would also recommend easing them into the battles they're in with either Hercule vs Dan, Roshi vs Jiraiya, or Android 18 vs Captain Marvel, before moving on to the other battles, but that's just me)
"Hmm… Yeah, that's a good point. These guys have shaped not only a lot of people's childhoods, but been a creative inspiration for an entire generation." Skorch nodded. "Still, I don't wanna drop that truth bomb just yet…"
3678 - Gaara Vs Toph was one of the worst Death Battle ScrewAttack has ever done.
"Once again, I haven't seen much of Naruto or the Last Airbender… So, I really can't say much on that. But I'll take your word on it. Honestly, I think I might just skip that one altogether…"
Guest - The Gaara vs Toph fight was B.S. due to the fact that sensing is far different from reacting and shinobi have superior senses & reaction speed than benders. Including the fact Gaara has tangled with people worse than what Toph deals with. Toph is not weak but any means but unfortunately, in a real fight Gaara would win and that fight in death battle was complete and total B#&!($#_!
"Okay. Cool. Look, I've just decided that I'm skipping that one for now just so I don't have to deal with it… No offense to anyone who likes those shows or what not, but at this point? I'm not the one to try and re-write it. Sorry."
Great Saiyaman54 – Thank u! Thank u so much!
"Well, you're welcome! I could tell you were pretty pumped for this story to return, and I hope I can do right by all of you!"
Thedragonofdeath2 - Finally, it has been continued. I've waited forever for this. Thank you.
"Once again, you're welcome! Also, I know they're a bunch more with requests, and don't worry, I'm working as hard as I can. This story has shot off like a rocket! I'm amazed how much love just the first chapter has gotten! I can't say I have a schedule or anything for when I write… and there's some heroes in another realm I don't wanna forget about… Also, while the script says Riptor's a girl, the Killer Instinct wiki says she's a he. So, If I go back and forth on that… Sorry. Also, also, there are some other reviews I haven't got to yet, but- wait. I think they're about to begin! Talk to you all later!"
Skorch jumped up and grabbed the top of the screen, pulling down a new scene.
It didn't take long for the group to get ready for another episode, Goten and Trunks especially were excited to watch two dinosaurs duke it out. So, everyone settled down and began the episode.
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)
"Who doesn't like dinosaurs?" Boomstick asked rhetorically.
"No one with half a brain." Trunks immediately answered.
"No one, cause they're awesome!" Boomstick then answered his own question.
"Exactly!"
"Like Yoshi, Mario's happy-go-lucky steed and Dino-Warrior of the Mushroom Kingdom." Wiz stated as an image of the green dinosaur appeared, except this time, he had an absurdly long tongue sticking out.
"...and Riptor, the Dino Warrior with a Killer Instinct." Boomstick added.
An image of a ferocious beast snarling appeared, it didn't seem to possess intelligence, just a violent bloodlust. Its long claws seemed to be soaked in blood, with chinks of flesh hanging off of its teeth.
"If that things beats Riptor… I swear…" Vegeta muttered.
"Chill Geets, we don't even know what Yoshi can do yet." Goku commented.
"Are you serious Kakarot? You really think a cartoonish fairy tale dinosaur could beat that… THING?!"
"I dunno. Maybe."
Vegeta just looked somewhat bewildered at Goku before groaning audibly.
"I'm Wizard and he's Boomstick and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win..."
"A Death Battle!" Boomstick Concluded.
The doors close, revealing the Death Battle logo.
"I wonder who made these." Gohan wondered aloud. "And how they know so much about different worlds…"
"Stop talking. Dinosaurs fighting." Goten suddenly cut in.
Yoshi
(*Cues: Yoshi's Island - Flower Garden Theme*)
"Since they first showed up in Super Mario World, and canonically, Yoshi's Story, Yoshi has been a cheerful and friendly dinosaur whose race happens to be among Bowser's most hated enemies. Why you might ask?" Wiz began his explanation as a scene of the happy dinosaurs seemed to be walking about, carefree.
"They can fire death beams from their eyes and fly?" Gohan remarked, mostly sarcastically but also somewhat hopefully.
"They all have the ability to go super sayian?" Krillin snarked.
"Dinosaurs can go super sayian?" Goku asked shocked, and Krillin just face palmed.
"'Cause they're so goddamn happy all the time! Like, what pills are these guys on?" Boomstick answered, slightly annoyed.
True to his comment, the video showed a pack of Yoshi (Yoshies?) all standing around seeming completely content and loving life as a happy banjo tune played in the background. There were sunflowers that seemed to be swaying to be beat and the Yoshi's seem to walk with a happy strut.
"They're kinda cute…" Chi-Chi commented with a warm smile, while Marron giggled at the sight.
"And what's wrong with being happy?" Goku asked with a shrug.
Background
Bowser's First Nemesis (This supised many and also made them wonder who 'Bowser' was…)
High, Strong Jumps, far higher than even the strongest Olympic High-Jumper
Can Resist Knock-Back ("That'd be useful to know…" Tien mused.)
Naturally Skilled in Basic Combat and Speed
Can Fly By Kicking Really Fast ("What?" Was asked by a few)
Born With A Saddle-Thing So They Can Be Ridden ("I wanna ride one!" Videl exclaimed with a grin.)
Constantly Followed by Incredibly Happy Music
Love to eat ("Hey! It's a Goku dinosaur!")
Comes in almost any colour, (Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Gold, Black, White, Orange)
Naturally Loyal and Friendly
"Yoshi may not look like it, but he's considered to be one of the fastest characters in the Mario universe, even faster than Mario and Luigi themselves, and has a higher and stronger jump than Mario. Despite his cute and cheery demeanor, Yoshi's powerful enough to put goliaths like these single-handedly with nothing but his own natural abilities. Not only that, but he's able to keep up with experienced fighters like Solid Snake, Link, Cloud, Pit, Ryu, and even previous Death Battle champion, Samus Aran.
The fighters watched amazed as Yoshi fought off several other combatants, including both a tower-sized monster clouded in shadows and the aforementioned Samus. Yoshi wheeled back and punched Samus, hard. The force of the punch sending her flying off of a small platform.
"Wow." Gohan said, surprised. "Never would've thought a dinosaur that small could pack that big a punch."
"Well, they're certainly smaller than the ones you had to deal with." Piccolo added with a nod, looking over to Gohan, and Videl's eyes widened in shock at the comment.
"You… fought… DINOSAURS?!" She exclaimed, making a few of the fighter's present turn to Gohan with great interest. "WHEN!?"
"Well, not really… It's… it's a bit of a story." Gohan replied awkwardly.
"I don't remember that." Goku commented.
"You were dead when it happened."
"Oh…"
There was an awkward silence in the room, some knowing the harsh reality of dying, leaving your family behind without the certainty of returning, and then there was Vegeta. Who both found death an annoyance and was also annoyed he hadn't been the one who killed Goku that time.
"Also, who's Mario?" Krillin asked looking back to the video. "They've mentioned him like four times now, you think he's some sort of hero?"
"Probably." Tien shrugged. "I feel like for every time we ask who someone is in one of these episodes, they'll appear in a later episode."
"And either he doesn't have any ears or he's really freakin' patient, 'cause he somehow put up with that whiny-ass Baby Mario!" Boomstick grumbled, clearly annoyed.
Baby Mario cries. Some of the parents watching had flashbacks to when their kids were babies… and had to deal with that. Bulma and Chi-Chi especially as in one of the women's cases, her husband bailed before her son was born, and in the other's case… he was dead.
"Aggh! If it were me, someone would've found him in a dumpster after the first level!"
"THAT'S HORRIBLE!" Chi-Chi shouted, beyond mad. Android 18 wrapped her arms around Marron and hugged her daughter defensively.
"He's not wrong…" Vegeta muttered, only for Chi-Chi to swing and miss him. "What's your problem woman?!"
"Oh God. Here we go…" Trunks muttered, rolling his eyes.
"Also, while young Yoshi's are dumb enough to run off cliffs, they learn quickly over time. Eventually being able to driving go-karts, playing sports, even at an Olympic level, and surviving the greatest death trap ever created: Mario Party! Seriously. This thing destroys lives and friendships." Boomstick continued with his analysis.
Everyone watched as indeed, Yoshi not only drove a car, but also played baseball, soccer, football, skied, snowboarded, figure skated, performed archery and rowed in the Olympics, and then oddly enough, was in a game of jump rope with the rope being pure fire.
"That looks awesome! Can we try tha-" Goku began in amazement at the fire jump rope.
"No!" Was collectively shouted by multiple people in the room.
"Okay!" Buu suddenly said. "Sounds fun!"
"Meh, why not." Mr. Satan shrugged. "Could be a unique experience."
"Are you all insane!?" Bulma exclaimed exasperated.
"Honestly, that sounds like it could be interesting…" Gohan nodded, thinking it over. "What kind of device would we need to do that?"
I could totally help with that! A voice suddenly ran through Goku's head.
Wait. What was that!? He thought, his mind snapping to that. But after a few moments, he returned to watching the show.
"Yoshi has a unique weapon. They're eggs, and a rather large arsenal of them too. They can be use as lightweight projectile over a surprisingly long range, and Yoshi can even create a giant egg shell to use as an all-encompassing shield." Wiz stated as the fighters watched.
"How would a dinosaur like Yoshi use eggs as a weapon?" Trunks asked, slightly mystified.
"How does a dinosaur even make eggs that fast?" Goten added, the two looking at one another slightly disgusted.
Yoshi Eggs
Maneuverable Projectiles
Light-Weight
Can Carry Up to 6 (Sometimes more, depending on the game)
Different Eggs Create Different Effects (Explosions, Platforms)
Made from the Souls of Devoured Enemies (This freaked a lot of people out)
Sometimes Escapable
Yoshi Can Create One Around Themselves To Shield Themselves From Attacks
The fighters watched surprised and a bit confused as Yoshi both used an egg as a throwing weapon and created a large egg top protect himself from what seemed to be knife-feathers launched by some sort of bird.
"What is it with creatures from the Mario universe using their babies as weapons? Is it that effective? I'm gonna have to test this out. Maybe some sort of Baby Launcher..." Boomstick mused.
There was no response, everyone present was speechless at the sheer absurdity of the idea, not to mention the idea of what the weapon fired. Even Goku was somewhat slack jawed at the comment. How could anyone think that was a good idea? Hell, even Friza and Cell would probably tell the host to take it down a notch, or several.
"Boomstick! That's a terrible idea!" Wiz shouted, shocked and disgusted.
"Thank you!" Bulma yelled exasperated.
"Any time you'd want to reload, you'd have to wait nine months."
"OH, COME ON!" She yelled, throwing her hands up in the air angered.
"Not if I hit up the local orphanage!" Boomstick countered.
"I…he…but…AGH!"
"Is she alright?" Tien asked, casting a glance over to Bulma.
"I think it's best we all just stay quiet here." Buu commented quietly.
" …Right… Anyway, Yoshi's greatest asset is his oddly enough, his stomach." Wiz said, deciding to take the conversation back to the video as a chart appeared.
Digestive System ("Ew.")
Long, Stretchy Tongue, Used to Grab Things. ("That's what she said." "Goten!" "Nice!")
Can Eat Almost Anything
Can Get Special Abilities or Produce Eggs
Can Hold Fire In His Mouth With No Issue
Can Trap Enemies in Eggs ("That's not terrifying at all…" No. 18 commented.)
Has Trouble Swallowing Koopa shells.
"Yeah, Yoshi's got a bad eating problem, and devours everything in sight with his long stretchy tongue. He can swallow almost anything, even elemental attacks like ice and fire." Boomstick agreed.
Everyone watched surprised as Yoshi ate a fireball, then held it in his mouth for a few moments, then spit it back out as if nothing happened.
"What do you know. There's someone who eats more than you." Vegeta commented, looking over to Goku.
"All this talk of eggs is making me hungry…" Goku commented, making Vegeta faceplam.
"That's right, Boomstick. Yoshi has the strangest digestive system I've ever come across. Certain meals can grant him special abilities. Otherwise, after consuming a foe or item, whole I might add, his mouth's elasticity is astounding. Yoshi...uh...ejects an egg spawned from the subject. The egg may have special properties from said object, or contain the victim within."
"…I can't tell if he serious or not, and that's very concerning." Piccolo finally broke his bewildered silence.
They then saw Yoshi grab a small animal with his tongue, swallow it whole and then create an egg.
"Huh."
"That's… cool I guess?" Yamcha said with a raised brow, unsure of how to react.
"Wait, is that how he makes eggs?! But… are there any female Yoshi's?" Boomstick mused aloud.
"I don't think they're male or female. Yoshi's may be asexual and reproduce naturally on their own." Wiz stated matter-of-factly.
"That poor miserable creature…" Boomstick sighed sadly.
"Poor bastard…" Roshi muttered, shaking his head sadly.
There were a few stifled laughs and Piccolo felt is eye twitch.
"Anyone says anything and I will hellzone grenade you into the ground." He flatly said. "I don't care who you are, you will die."
"Is that because namekian's don't have a-" Goku began, somewhat oblivious.
"Finish that sentence and not even the Dragon Balls will be able to bring you back."
"Oh ho ho, Yoshi got right stuff!" Yoshi suddenly spoke in an oddly deep voice, making everyone stare confused at the TV for a few moments, that… wasn't what they were expecting. Even from a dinosaur who could make eggs out of anything.
"That just sounds… Wrong." Mr. Satan commented, surprised at Yoshi's voice. Only for a text box to appear in the corner which read 'Yoshi dosen't speak English, usually they communicate through sounds and saying 'Yoshi' the few times Yoshi speaks in comprehensive languages is due to magic, or considered Non-Canon… I think…'
The doors closed and Bulma paused the video.
"That wasn't really what I was expecting…" She commented. "But then again, if he can take on Samus and is somehow able to drive a car, that's something I guess."
"Honestly… I think Yoshi just might be bizarre enough to win." Piccolo finally admitted. "With the ability to eat almost anything-"
"You really think that thing could EAT a fully-grown creature?!" Vegeta cut in, his snark and deadpan tone still very apparent.
"No, but it might provide an edge is all I'm saying." Piccolo finished, slightly annoyed.
"Yoshi!" Marron said happily, and 18 smiled down at her daughter.
"I was expecting more of a crazed fighter than a happy animal…" Goten commented.
Regardless of how they felt about Yoshi, they were excited to see who he was going to fight.
Riptor
(*Cues: Riptor's Theme - Killer Instinct*)
"One day long ago, a scientist created a living weapon, a creature that could not be matched in speed and ferocity." Wiz began as video of a lab was shown with some sort of monster being created. "Nothing could stand up to this beast, nothing that existed at least."
"So naturally, another scientist shouted "Hold my Beer!" and went off and made an even deadlier living weapon!" Boomstick cut in.
"Yeah, that's usually how it happens." Yamcha shrugged. "Someone's all powerful, so someone else has to become even more powerful."
"That's our lives in a nutshell." Krillin stated flatly.
"I can relate, it's awfully annoying when you spend months perfecting the ultimate coding for your creation, sculpting the perfect vessel and wiring its brain so it responds to your every command, then some asshole name Steve just one up's you with and even deadlier weapon that responds to his neural instructions! Like, what the hell am I supposed to do with this one!?" Wiz shouted, getting way off topic.
"I've never heard Wizard this angry before…" Chi0Chi commented, slightly shocked.
"You kill it or let it loose." Boomstick simply answered. "Or you take care of it."
"I would've if it hadn't taken the eye of one of my partners… Man she's still pissed about that…" Wiz sighed sadly, clearly remembering an experiment that went wrong. "Wait. What were we talking about?"
"Death Battle."
"Oh right!" Wiz exclaimed then cleared his throat. "This brings us to Riptor, who was genetically engineered by Ultratech-"
"Evil Wal-Mart!" Boomstick jumped in suddenly. This did get a laugh from some of those watching the episode.
"…to be the perfect combination of human intelligence and animal brutality. However, it isn't one hundred percent clear if it was a success, or a failure." Wiz continued annoyed.
"Just like this show!"
"Ouch." Goten said with a smirk.
Background
Height: 7'0"
Wight: 700 lbs. ("Wow… I think some of us would have a hard time lifting that…" Yamcha commented. "No, we wouldn't." Vegeta almost immediately replied.)
Genetically Engineered to be More Violent than Traditional Velociraptors.
Designed to be Smart and Vicious, but Backfired ("Sound familiar?" Roshi asked aloud. "Buu not like you." Buu grumbled.)
Only 4 Years Old so has Little Combat Training
Might Be Male or Female (Rumored To Switch Gender) ("What?" Goku asked bewildered. "Some animals can change their genders, it's weird but it's a thing." Bulma explained.)
May Have Become a Robo-Raptor Later On (Canonicity is Unclear)
The crew watched as Riptor jumped onto another fighter and began violently tearing at its victim's neck, screeching animalisticly all the while.
"Wow… It's only four?" Trunks said, surprised. "I thought it would be older…"
"That thing is nearly as tall as you Tien!" Chaoztsu exclaimed.
"Why would someone try and create a monster like that?" Goten asked, slightly freaked out by Riptor's design and sheer tenacity.
"Some people are too weak or too cowardly to fight themselves, they rely on others to do their damn dirty work." Vegeta scowled, having some very unpleasant memories start to resurface. Goku looked over and put his hand on his rival's shoulder.
"He's gone. He isn't coming back." He simply stated, and after a few moments, Vegeta sighed.
"His tools of death are his teeth, claws and impaling tail and he knows how to use them well, pulling off insanely bloody combos. And when he's not fighting up close, he can spit a fiery acid!" Boomstick declared, clearly enjoying discussing any form of weapon, especially when dinosaurs were involved.
Combat
Teeth, Claws and Tail
Firey Acid Projectile
Rushes Opponents With Combos
Longest String Of Attacks Can Land Over 31 Hits before opponent even hits the ground.
"Some of this badass-dino's favorite moves include the Claw Uppercut, which sends victims into the air, the Tailflip… which is pretty self-explanatory, the Flaming Venom, which is a face full of acid, and not the fun type either… and the Jump Rake, a painful arial attack that'll hurt like hell in the morning! Unless, y'know, you die first…"
The fighters watched as Riptor performed the aforementioned moves, one after the other, violently ripping its way through the opponents before him/her. They were a mixture of scared and impressed that a creature that honestly seemed kind of clumsy form its look and skeletal design was able to hold its own against other fighters, and be able to perform such intricate and deadly attacks.
"See Kakarot? How can that… Yoshi possibly hold up against a beat like this!" Vegeta declared smugly.
"I dunno… I think you're right about this one." Goku nodded, conceding to Vegeta's point. "Even if Yoshi could somehow swallow Riptor, wouldn't Riptor just break out and keep fighting?"
"Riptor's only 4 years old and yet, already, he's a nearly unstoppable killing machine, driven only by a lust for blood." Wiz added.
"That's one ass kicking toddler!" Boomstick declared.
"Interestingly, Riptor has reached a point where the human emotions and reasoning conflict programmed into his brain conflict heavily with his predatory instincts, often confusing him to the blind point of rage and aggression. Leaving him unstable, and bloodthirsty." Wiz added.
"Sound famil-"
"Don't you bother finishing that sentence." Vegeta scowled under his breath.
"Riptor may look, sound and act like a Velociraptor, but he's really something else entirely. He's twice as big and twice as slow and I don't think Velociraptors could shoot acid. They were awesome enough without it! With a limited amount of combat training, Riptor relies on his Raptor instincts in a fight. Raptors were pack hunters, preferring to plague their victims with stealth, speed and secrecy, though they were no pushovers by themselves. It's been theorized that a velociraptor alone could on their own, they usually just rush their opponent and overpower them with ultra-combos..." Boomstick went off on a long triad of accurate facts.
Velociraptor Instincts
Brutal and Cunning
First Incapacitates Victims, Then Eats Them Alive
Hunted in Packs
Stealthy
Alone, They Rushed and Overpowered Opponents.
"…and if "Jurassic Park" has taught us anything, it's that Raptors are clever sons of bitches! Seriously, these things were found to occasionally take on prey bigger than fifty percent of their body mass! Hell, sometimes they'd eat chunks of a dinosaur, while it was still alive, before taking off so they wouldn't get killed by it!" He concluded, seeming to actually know a lot about this subject.
Boomstick's Fossil Facts!
First Discovered By Peter Kaisen in the Gobi Desert In 1923
Velociraptor's Were Believed To Only Be 0.5 Meters Tall
However, They Could Grow Up to 6.8 feet long
Average Full-Grown Weight was 33 lbs. (15 KG)
May Have Been Able To Run Roughly 40 mph (60 kph)
Believed to Have Had Feathers
13 or 14 Teeth in Upper Jaw
14 to 15 In Lower Jaw
Tail Kept It Balanced as It Ran
Before you ask, the Raptor's in Jurassic Park were more based off of Dineonychus'… Which are also awesome.
Sadly, Not Cyborgs…
"That's… all… correct…" Bulma stated, genuinely shocked that Boomstick knew some much about… well, anything. "Except for the location and who discovered them… but… Wow."
Everyone just stared shocked at the screen that Boomstick had somehow been able to impress Bulma.
"Maybe he's not as dumb as he acts." Gohan mused. "Like it's all some sort of façade?"
"*coughrightherculecough*" Roshi suddenly coughed. Making the world champion shoot him a dirty look.
"Wow, Boomstick. I didn't know you knew so much about dinosaurs." Wiz simply said in amazement. His tine alone spoke volumes, this wasn't normal for Boomstick.
"Yeah, I always wanted me a pet Raptor. I was gonna call him Barney after I found out what irony was." Bomstick chuckled.
That comment did get a few laughs from the fighters. The laughter then turned to amazement and slight horror as Riptor stabbed an opponent nearly two dozen times before impaling and throwing the fighter onto the ground.
Killer Instinct Announcer: "Supreme victory!"
Riptor then proceeded to feast on the remains of his prey, making a few of the fighters a bit queasy. The doors closed and Bulma paused the video again.
"Yeah, Riptor's got this." Yamcha stated. "He's faster, stronger, meaner, no way he's gonna lose."
"My gut's telling me that Riptor's got this, but at the same time we thought that Wonder Woman had it in the bag, and we saw how that turned out." Krillin reasoned.
"I think Yoshi might win." Chi-Chi shrugged. "They made it clear that Yoshi was smart enough to somehow learn to drive, while Riptor can't even seem to think straight without going into a blind fury."
"I'm voting for Yoshi because he's adorable." Videl smiled somewhat sheepishly.
"Yoshi!" Marron said happily again.
"I don't want to say brawn is better than brains, but in this case, I think they may be." Gohan nodded. "Riptor can spit acid, and seems to be trained to kill. Yoshi might be tough, but I don't think he'll be able to last against Riptor."
"Meh, I got a good feeling about Yoshi." Tien commented from the back with a shrug.
"Well, let's see what happens!" Mr. Satan declared, and after the doors reopened, it was time for the fight!
"Alright, the combatants are set. Let's end this battle for once and for all!" Wiz stated as the music picked up.
"IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!" Boomstick shouted.
Death Battle
(*Cues: Overworld Theme - Super Mario World*)
Yoshi is happily dancing when Riptor emerges from a pipe and roars, scaring Yoshi, who begins cowering.
FIGHT!
(*Cues: Yoshi's Island Theme - Super Smash Brothers Melee*)
Riptor begins by attacking Yoshi repeatedly and knocking him back, Riptor unleashes a fury of quick strikes that keep Yoshi unable to fight back. Continuing to use its claws, Riptor refuses to slow down before tail-whipping Yoshi back into a wall. Yoshi collides hard with it and seems momentarily stunned.
Announcer: AWESOME COMBO!
"Damn right!" Vegeta smirked triumphantly.
As Riptor advances, Yoshi throws three eggs at him, but these do very little. If anything, Riptor seems to have a is that the best you can do? Look on his face. Yoshi jumps and flies above Riptor using his flutter kick before ground pounding onto Riptor, then wheeling back and punching Riptor square in the jaw, then bicycle kicking Riptor into the air before launching several more eggs at him. However, while Riptor takes several blows, he quickly lands on his feet and kicks Yoshi back, the attack having done very little to him.
"So, if Yoshi can't hurt Riptor with his physical attacks, he'd better think of something quick then." Roshi mused, watching the dino fight.
Riptor then pauses, as if waiting to see what Yoshi will try next. allowing Yoshi to force out a large egg and throw it at Riptor. The egg shatters a baby Yoshi to appeared.
Baby Yoshi: Yoshi!
"Aww! It's so cute!" Videl cooed.
"That is pretty adorable." Chi-Chi agreed.
"He's so precious!" Bulma added.
Riptor then grabbed the baby Yoshi and bit its head clean off in a single bite.
"NO!" Videl screamed, horrified.
"HAH!" Vegeta laughed, genuinely surprised but finding it amusing all the same.
"Wow." Goten said, stunned. "Riptor's kinda of a monster…"
"Hey, it's a kid's meal." Yamcha said with a smirk. Only to then be hit by Tien. "Ow! Take a joke man!"
Yoshi screams and runs off but is stopped by a Koopa Troopa. He eats the Koopa Troopa and spits him at Riptor, who deflects the shell back towards Yoshi, but Yoshi protects himself with his egg shield. Riptor attacks the shield until it breaks and then proceeds to attack Yoshi some more, performing the claw rake and the drill slash. Yoshi is clearly being pushed to his defensive limits, and most of the attacks are clearly dealing a good amount of damage, as Yoshi is seeming worn out by the struggle, only to suddenly use his tongue and whip Riptor across the face with it. Knocking Riptor back with a surprising amount of force.
Announcer: C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
Yoshi jumps and Ground Pounds Riptor again, and by now, it's clear that Riptor is very, very angry and Yoshi is starting to get tired.
"I think the fight's almost over." Piccolo said. "Neither one can seem to take much more of this constant back and forth."
"Then kick his ass Riptor!" Krillin yelled.
Riptor claws at Yoshi a few more times, but Yoshi managed so punch Riptor directly in the gut and send the beast flying backwards. Riptor digs it's claws into the ground and stops himself before screeching in a horrifying, animalistic. Then spits a deadly ball of acid at Yoshi, who without a second thought, ate the acid created an egg. Riptor seems stunned, as were the Z Fighters.
"W..what?!" Vegeta stuttered, shocked by what just happened, not believing that Yoshi had done what he had done.
"No… He didn't…" Goku said, equally as shocked.
Yoshi then throws the egg at Riptor, the egg shatters, covering her face with acid. Riptor roars in pain and fury as the chemicals burn away at her face, bloody chunks falling off with a disgusting slopping sound. Riptor tries to attack Yoshi again in a desperate attempt to kill the happy-go-luck dino, but Yoshi shoots his tongue out and grabs her, and then proceeded eats her and forces her out as a giant egg. This shocked everyone watching, and to top that level of shock, the egg falls off the cliff that Yoshi is standing next to, Riptor manages to break free, but realizes that is was all too late. Riptor falls down into a pink car with flame patterns on it, the impact and weight of the monster completely destroys it and leaves a bit of the frame with only her legs sticking out.
K.O.!
There was silence for a few moments, then the silence was shattered by…
"NO!" Vegeta shouted. "That's not possible! How the hell did a genetic monster loose to a damn cartoon?!"
"Geez dude, calm down." Krillin said taking a drink. At this point, he had been exposed to so many 'Geet Freaks' as they had started calling them that his anger didn't faze him as much.
"I have to admit, I thought Riptor was going to take it." Piccolo commented, while his tone was low, surprise was still apparent in it. "But, I hadn't considered Yoshi eating acid…"
"Seems like that good feeling payed off." Tien smirked.
"I'm actually not surprised Yoshi won." Chi-Chi thought it over. "Riptor was designed for killing, and also had an issue where it would get into an animalistic fury. Yoshi is smart enough to drive a car, so clearly Yoshi could figure out how to use that anger against the enemy."
"Man, we really suck at predicting these battles." Gohan mused.
"This is only like what? The third one we've watched though? Give it time kid." Roshi replied dismissively.
(*Cues: Alpina Blue - Yoshi's Story*)
"NOOO, my car!" Boomstick yelled in agony.
That got a good laugh form most of the fighters. Something about Boomstick suffering made quite a few people happy…
"Yoshi couldn't physically compete with Riptor's tough and brutal viciousness, but his varied arsenal and mental advantage ultimately produced a winning move." Wiz began with his explanation.
"I can't tell if that was an intentional pun or not. But either way it sucked." Trunks commented flatly.
"Heh. I see what you did there. But when you look at it, Riptor's a friggin' beast in a fist fight and yes, while Yoshi looks all cute and stuff, he's actually a deadly devouring machine, like my ex-wife!" Boomstick laughed.
Goten and Trunks laughed, as did Yamcha, Chaoztsu and Roshi, but everyone else was surprised by that. Boomstick had a wife?!
"Boomstick has a wife?!" No. 18 said, her tone flat and clearly in denial.
"Ex-wife." Videl corrected.
"I don't even want to think about that." Piccolo said what everyone was thinking.
"That raptor mind of Riptor's might be cunning and clever, but tooth and claw can only accomplish so much. While most rivals in Killer Instinct are very vulnerable to acid, due to a lot of them being human. Yoshi's bizarre digestive system rebounded the acid spit, blinding Riptor and leaving him vulnerable." Wiz added matter-of-factly to his explanation.
"Riptor may be smart but Yoshi can drive cars and compete in the Olympics! show me another dinosaur who can do that!" Boomstick stated as if the matter was settled beyond the shadow of a doubt.
"Even with a velociraptor's strong sense of hearing and smell, Riptor's confused and vengeful mind wasn't able to process the change of tactics fast enough. Even so, he was already finished."
"Seems brains did beat brawn…" Gohan commented, slightly disappointed that Yoshi had won.
"Even if that conveniently placed cliff hadn't had been there, Riptor would have lost his whole face pretty quick to the acid. He just didn't have the stomach for this dino-mite Dino-Fight!" Boomstick concluded.
"What?" Wiz asked flatly.
"I'm clever!"
"No, you're not." Was said by more than a few people.
"The winner is Yoshi."
"Yay!" Marron said in her happy voice, which made No. 18 smile and kiss the top of her head.
"Well, that was awesome." Trunks commented with a grin. "These fights just keep getting better and better!"
"Still, I wonder if there's any fights between martial artists of any kind…" Goku wondered aloud.
"Next time on Death Battle!" Boomstick announced.
What appeared to be a boxing ring was shown with an energetic but low guitar riff playing to accompany the image. Text slamming onto the screen reading 'Because YOU demanded it!'
?: I can throw even a raging bull! That is the virtue of muscle!
"Well, there you go Goku." Krillin said aloud.
A man landed in the ring, he was only wearing what looked to be a red speedo, but he was jacked. His entire body seemed to bulge and his chest was covered in hair.
Announcer: Here he is folks! The RED CYCLONE!
The man flexed as the crowd went wild. The fighters all looked over to Mr. Satan who just raised a brow at the introduction.
"Work the crowd…" He muttered aloud with a nod of approval.
?: You're gonna regret this in the morning…
Another man jumped into the ring, this man wore green pants but again, no shirt. And similar to the 'Red Cyclone' he also was very muscular, making a few of the men feel inadequate and a few of the women look on in wonder.
?: Hold back if you want, it's your funeral.
The two men ran at one another and jumped, but right when their fists were going to impact with each other, the screen flashed white and showed them frozen in that pose with their names presented below.
Zangief vs Mike Haggar
"Now we're getting to the good stuff!" Goku exclaimed, excited. "One more?"
"Sure." Bulma shrugged when everyone else agreed. "I have to admit, these are pretty interesting. Seeing how others fight and all…"
Now ready to watch two buff dudes beat the crap out of each other, it didn't take long for everyone to settle down for the final episode of the day.
"Hey! I ain't done yet! There's still some reviews I haven't gotten too yet!"
Skorch grabbed the non-existent camera and pulled it back down to where he was chilling on the roof.
"Sorry, but wanted to get to these before I let you all go!"
Opalander – I do hope they catch up to the episodes they're all in. Anyways, it would be better to stay silent until the time is right to reveal that everyone is fictional.
"Yeah, for now, I wanna stick to the sidelines. I can't image receiving a package with information on people from another dimension would be… well… easy to comprehend, but all things considered I think they're doing okay. As for the episodes there in? I'm not going in the order that Death Battle did, I'm going to be jumping around a lot, don't expect Goku v Superman or Vegeta v Shadow too soon though… but I won't make you guys wait fifty chapter for it either."
StrongGuy159 – Cool chapter, continue please.
"Well… okay. But only because you said please! And uh… because like nearly fifty people have favorited and followed this. Seriously, holy crap I was not expecting this much…"
Magical Fan18 - Hmm, good attempt at this DB. I think you should make it a surprise for the Z-Fighters when they get to those episodes. Kinda hope you can change or edit the TMNT Death Battle royal as that is my least favorite for obvious reasons. Maybe have the each of the Turtles or just Leonardo face an opponent of equal skill and strength. I would like the chapter after the next one to be the Death Battle of Mike Haggar vs Zangief as I bet the DBZ group would love that death battle match.
"Now there's an idea. Give Raph, Donnie and Mikey they're own death battles? What dou you all think? If you think yes, who should they fight? Anyhow, since so many of you asked for it, the next fight is Zangief Vs Haggar! Once again, I wanna take a moment and thank you all. In less than a week, this story has gotten nearly 100 followers. Every time I go to check… stuff. There's always a new 'This person has followed this story' or 'This person has favorited this story!' or a review saying 'Love the story, here's some stuff!' You have no idea how happy I am to see those messages. Heck, this chapter may have come out a day or two ago if it wasn't for all the new reviews I was stopping to read! Also, you may have noticed a few things… fleshed out so to say. I love ScrewAttack, I really do. And I love Death Battle, so I wanted to add a little more where I can so it dosen't seem like I'm completely stealing their stuff. Also, it makes the battles cooler. Also, if you didn't see your review in here, it'll probably show up in the next chapter! Unless it's just requests, please know I read EVERY review though and appreciate all of em! So, enjoy the rest of your day guys, I think there's a video of Vegeta playing Hitman 2 out… Imma go watch that! See ya soon!"
Partway through the video, Skorch looked up at the non-existent camera once again.
"Oh yeah, I re-edited this chapter to add some more commentary of both parts and to change the format so hopefully we don't get in trouble. Thanks to MrGoodyTwoShoes and a few others for letting me know about that so I don't wind up in a heap of trouble and you all lose this story!"
Taking a quick drink, Skorch sighed and cracked his neck.
"One other thing. The next battle? Zangeif and Haggar? I haven't started it. I'm still working on my other stories, and I'm taking a few days off because, well, Christmas. If you don't know what to do while I'm away, check out my other stories. I think you might enjoy em'. Anyhow, see you later, Merry Christmas, and if I don't see you until then, Happy New Year."
