I own nothing.

I've gotten a lot of complaints about my last battle about the Slayer and Flynn Taggart being different people. Death Battle has mixed up canon material before so I decided to do the same here. I put a lot of work into it, I am not rewriting it. If you don't like the chapter, just skip it.

Chapter 15: Duel of the Dinosaurs. Riptor vs Yoshi!

After a nice lunch, which mainly consisted of everyone trying to keep Luffy from eating the lion's share of everyone's meals, and then Nami checking to make sure that they were still on course, and Franky and Usopp checking to see that nothing was wrong, they went back down for another battle.

The music started and Wiz and Boomstick appeared on screen.

"You know what I hate more than popstars?" Boomstick asked before angrily yelling, "ABSOLUTELY GODDAMN NOTHING!"

Everyone was surprised at Boomstick's rage.

"What is a popstar?" Nami asked, confused.

Instead of answered, he showed them a few clips of Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black. The group shuddered at the images, and Brook felt that this was an insult to the world of music after hearing their songs Baby, and Friday.

Wiz looked confused and the opening music shut down as he asked, "Wait…what do popstars have to do with this week's battle?"

Robin raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "So we aren't having popstars as a battle."

Boomstick looked at him and said, "You sent me an email that we're having two total nothings fight because we hate them, and a suggestion that I listen to some of their songs to get in the mood."

Wiz said, "Boomstick that was an April fool's joke."

Boomstick said, "So I spent my entire weekend listening to pop music for nothing. Damn it, and I got those stupid songs in my head. Did you manage to get that brain bleach stuff yet?"

Everyone blinked at the brain bleach and wondered if they had that. It could be useful to use on themselves if they saw something they didn't want to…or if they wanted to mess with someone else.

Wiz said, "Not yet, but I know that this will probably make you feel better."

He showed a script to Boomstick who read the title. Immediately he began to get excited.

"Oh yeah!" Boomstick yelled, "This is going to be fun! Start the music again intern!"

The music started up again, with the pair bobbing their heads at it until it reached a certain point.

"Do you know anyone who hates dinosaurs?" Boomstick asked before answered, "Trick question! Nobody hates them because they are awesome!"

"Dinosaurs?" Robin asked, her interest piqued at the thought of the ancient creatures.

Franky said, "Yeah, didn't those things go extinct centuries ago?"

Robin nodded and said, "Yes. They were great and powerful creatures. Large and incredibly powerful from gentle but brutal giants to vicious predators."

Chopper shuddered and said, "Now I'm glad they're extinct."

Luffy said, "But didn't we see some?"

Franky, Brook, Chopper, and Robin all look at Luffy. Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, and Nami all groaned as they turned towards Luffy.

Nami explained the little garden incident from before the group had joined the crew. They other members were shocked at this new knowledge. Robin now wanted to visit Little Garden to see it for herself. She also wanted to ask the giants some questions.

Wiz said, "And they don't get as awesome…or strange…as our contestants today. Yoshi the happy go lucky steed."

Boomstick continued, "And Riptor Ultratech's dino-mite warrior with a killer instinct. Aw damn it now I have to come up with a new pun for the ending."

Wiz said, "You should already know that I'm Wiz and he's Boomstick, and we're here to examine their weapons, armor, and skill to find out who would win a death battle."

The doors closed and then opened.

Franky said, "So we're dealing with dinosaur combatants. Sounds cool."

Zoro said, "If Riptor is the one I think it is, then he is going to win."

Wiz said, "Aside from evil turtles and the mad mushrooms, one of the many strange creatures you'll find in the Mushroom Kingdom are the Yoshi."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, but as opposed to Bowsers infantry these green looking dinos aren't really that bad. I mean look at them!"

Boomstick pressed a button and a hologram of Yoshi appeared in front of them.

"Aw, it's actually kind of cute," Nami said as she saw the creature.

'Cute,' Robin thought upon seeing it.

'I wonder how it would taste?' Luffy thought, with Sanji wondering the same thing.

Isom thought, 'Should I tell them about the prehistoric devil fruit?'

The gun lover continued, "Just imagine all the marketing that this little guy got."

T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas

Male

Age is hard to pin down

Mount for Mario/Luigi, hero while on his own

Constantly followed by happy music

Wiz said, "To the uneducated gamer Yoshi may just seem like a disposable mount for Mario, but it turns out that Yoshi is in fact his own fighter and a damn good one. He possesses incredible durability, strength, speed, and can jump several feet."

Boomstick said, "Yeah. Also, to those who don't know, Mario and Luigi both owe this green beast their lives. They got lost in the mushroom kingdom as babies, and Yoshi had to get the two brothers back to the stork they were carried by."

"Mario…wasn't he the guy who keep smashing the Goomba and Koopa?" Zoro asked, remembered the Mushroom kingdom and him being mentioned.

Boomstick rubbed his chin and said, "Now that I think about it…he must have some really selective hearing because he managed to ignore that whiny baby Mario."

They show a clip of Yoshi carrying baby Mario, getting attacked, and Mario being separated in a bubble, crying loudly while Yoshi tried to get him back.

Nami muttered, "Cute, but I could do without the crying."

"Ditto," Zoro said, the noise sounding annoying to his ears.

Boomstick said, "If it were me, they would have found him in a dumpster on the next level, heh."

Everyone went silent at Boomstick cruel words. A lot of them who knew about abandonment were now contemplating convincing Isom to send them into the show to kick the jerk's ass.

The room went silent. Suddenly, a paperweight flew from offscreen and struck Boomstick in the forehead. As the gun lover clutched his face, Wizard walked up to him and punched him twice, both times with his metal hand.

Wiz said, "You deserved that, and nice toss there Jocelyn."

"Thanks," Jocelyn said from offscreen as Boomstick groaned in pain.

"I approve," Robin said with a small smile at seeing Boomstick get smashed around a bit.

Everyone grinned at seeing Boomstick get knocked on his ass.

Wiz said, "Moving on, Yoshi has developed some impressive skills over the years."

Abilities

Strong jumps

-scuttle jump

Ground Pound

Foot of Fury

Rainbow Flutter

Knockback Resistance

Natural speed and basic combat

Skilled racer and sportsman

Wiz said, "He's incredibly agile, capable of jumping several feet in the air, and can even briefly float with the scuttle jump technique, and he can then follow it up with the Ground Pound to smash his opponents into jelly."

Sanji took a drag on his cigarette and said, "That thing can sue something like the moon walk. It doesn't seem to be that effective for maneuvering though."

Usopp said, "Yeah, it looks like I could shoot him out of the air if he was still long enough."

Boomstick groaned in pain as he stood up and said, "He, ouch, can resist being knocked back and regularly shrugs off getting hit by pointy things. And unlike any dinosaur I've seen, he can play all kinds of sports, qualifying for the Olympics, soccer and tennis where he dominates with rainbow or air themed attacks, and racing…a far cry from younger Yoshi who care dumb enough to run off cliffs."

Everyone blinked at the obvious high intelligence of the Yoshi, though they were surprised to find out that they were apparently as dumb at the Goomba or Koopa when they are young.

"What are the Olympics?" Chopper asked, looking at Isom.

The traveler answered, "The Olympics are a series of games where countries from all over the world come together to play against each other."

Robin rubbed her chin and said, "I doubt that the world government would be able to do something like that."

Wiz said, "He's also a naturally gifted combatant, as he's taken to fighting against multiple opponents. His natural skill is so advanced he can even go against superior opponent like Solid Snake, and even former death battle champion, Samsus Aran."

Franky said, "Wait…he went toe to toe with her!? Holy hell!"

Sanji yelled, "How dare that little dinosaur hurt…"

Isom chopped Sanji on the neck causing him to fall to the ground.

"I like the guy and all," he said, "But that was getting annoying."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, but aside from that, Yoshi's got a crazy set of weapons that he uses…all from his own body."

Digestive System

-Can eat almost anything

-Long sticky tongue

-Gets eggs or special abilities

-Used to trap enemies

-Difficult to swallow koopa shells.

Eggs

-lightwight projectiles

-up to 6

-different effects for each egg, depends on meal

-made from souls of devoured enemies

-red, blue, yellow

Egg Toss

Egg Roll

Mega/Metal Eggdozer

Magic Weapon

Wiz looked confused as he said, "Yoshi's digestive tract defies all kind of biological sense. He has a long stretchy tongue that he uses to grab his prey, and just swallows them whole."

Boomstick said, "The guy can even eat things that are nearly as big as him and hold them in his mouth before he swallows. And after he does, he just ejects the egg, with the prey trapped inside. They also grant him powers. Red makes him immune to fire, blue can make him fly, and yellow allows him to create earthquakes!"

Chopper blinked and said, "That sounds a lot like Wapol's powers."

Robin blinked and asked, "Who?"

Chopper said, "Wapol was a tyrant who ruled my home island before I joined the crew. He ate a devil fruit called the Munch-Munch, which allowed him to incorporate whatever he ate into his body so long as it was in his stomach."

Robin drew the parallels and wondered what else this small creature could do.

Wiz said, "And if he doesn't get a power from it, it makes a great projectile as it is easy to throw. He can even create a giant egg around himself to block attacks, and then use it to steamroll his enemies. He can even bring out much larger eggs for the Mega or Metal Eggdozer attacks. He can even create a weapon of magical energy to fight with."

Zoro said, "That is one weird little dinosaur."

Chopper said, "How is that possible? It goes against all the laws of biology."

Isom said, "Trust me, in later episodes you are going to be saying that a lot."

Boomstick said, "If only I still had the idea to make that baby cannon, but the CPS showed up and that was the end of that idea."

Everyone looked at Isom who simply stated, "Child Protective Services."

Wiz let out a breath of relief before he said, "And Yoshi arsenal doesn't stop there, as he's got his own set of power ups to use."

Power ups

-Mega Mushroom

-Dash Pepper

-Blimp Fruit

-Bulb Berry

-Morph Bubble

-Watermelons

-Heart Fruit – Super Happy Mode

-Flutter Wings

-Golden Flutter Wings

-Yoshi Stars

-Zone Speed

-Dragon Yoshi

Boomstick declared, "A lot of them, too. He increases his speed with the dash pepper, flies like a balloon with the blimp fruit, and the bulb berry can let him see in the dark and bring out intangible stuff."

Wiz said, "He uses the morph bubbles to turn into vehicles, spit the fire and ice seeds of elemental watermelons, use the Flutter Wings and Golden Flutter Wings to fly, become invincible with the Hearth fruit, and Yoshi stars grant him super speed and invincibility. He can even slow down time with Zone speed."

Usopp said, "Wow. He has a lot of powers around his stomach with all those foods. Not to mention invincibility. Too bad it is temporary."

Sanji who was now awake said, "I wonder what I could make with those melons, fruits, peppers, and berries? I wonder what they would taste like in a fruit salad."

Luffy said, "Just use the peppers to spice up some meat!"

Boomstick said, "He can even transform into a dragon! A DRAGON! Holy shit, how can anyone beat this guy?"

Wiz said, "Well, Yoshi doesn't carry these power ups on hand all the time, and he has to find them first. Plus, while Yoshi has shown to be brave enough to venture into the world, he tends to panic when he is attacked, so he's not the bravest around."

"Awesome!" the childish trio said, "He can turn into a dragon!?"

Boomstick said, "Maybe, but his feats speak for themselves."

Feats

Pushes around a chomp rock when younger

Survived being crushed by baby Bowser

Ground pound flipped an anthropomorphic elepahant

Shattered crystals with his head

Ran up a stone pillar

Survived stomach acid

Survived every Mario Party ever.

Wiz said, "He's strong enough to push chomp rocks, which are heavy enough to shatter stone platforms and crush metal spikes, and break crystals with his head."

Boomstick said, "He's fast enough to run up a vertical stone pillar, and tough enough to go through a giant frog's stomach and not get killed by stomach acid. Far more impressive than that, is that he's survived one of the most evil and notorious death traps ever multiple times…Mario Party!"

Everyone blinked at the sight of a group of colorful characters, including Yoshi and Mario running around dropping rocks with faces, and jumping over a rope of fire.

Wiz said, "If you ever think that this happy go lucky dinosaur is nothing but a cuddly plush toy, prepare to be proved wrong."

Yoshi laughed and said, "Yoshi got right stuff."

Luffy said, "I thought it would sound cooler."

Zoro said, "It's a cartoon dinosaur. I think that the voice suits it."

The doors closed and opened again.

Wiz said, "For millions of years, dinosaurs ruled the world, and many would wonder what would happen if these ancient predators came into the modern age."

Boomstick said, "Thankfully, we got an image of that with Jurassic Park, and holy shit was it a bad idea."

"Jurassic Park?" Nami asked, her eyebrow raised.

Isom answered, "Movie series. You guys might like it."

Wiz said, "You think that was bad, you should have read the book. Far scarier. And unfortunately for many people, the people at Ultratech didn't see either of these and decided to resurrect one of these ancient killers."

Riptor

Age: 1

Weight: 700 lbs

Hit and Run specialist

A very clever girl

Boomstick said, "Except they took it a step further, unlike those wusses at Ingen, they took it a step farther by adding human DNA to the batch. The result was nicknamed Riptor by the scientists."

Boomstick smiled as he pressed a button and the hologram of Riptor showed up, showing a raptor with humanoid muscles and hissing angrily, spitting acid.

Franky said, "Dang. Do you think the World Government would be interested in bringing back something like that?"

Robin said, "I should hope not. If what they said of the books and movies are a bad idea, then I think it would be."

Isom said, "They were. I think I have them on file. We can watch them afterwards if you want."

Chopper said, "Sounds scary."

Wiz said, "They did so in an attempt to combine a human's thinking and problem-solving abilities with the savagery and primal instinct of one of the prehistory's greatest hunters and it worked…for the most part."

Zoro rubbed his chin and said, "It sounds like a zoan devil fruit."

Chopper said, "I don't think that we'll run into that."

Isom was quiet for a moment before saying, "Actually, you will."

Everyone turned towards the traveler who answered, "There are different types of Zoan Devil fruit. Among the rarer versions are ancient creatures. From what I can tell, the dragon-dragon zoan fruit has various models of dinosaur. There is actually a man on this side of the world name X-Drake, who has a Allosaurus model devil fruit."

Chopper started shaking and said, "You mean, there is someone who can transform into a dinosaur?!"

The man nodded. While most of the crew look interested at this new information, Chopper, Usopp, and Nami looked horrified.

Boomstick said, "Yeah, this ass-kicking toddler monster started kicking ass and did so with her savage claws, teeth, and acid…until she ran into the robot killing boxer TJ Combo, who proceeded to help her join her prehistoric kin."

Franky blinked and asked, "Robot killing?"

Isom said, "No spoilers."

Wiz said, "But they were undeterred. They resurrected Riptor, stronger, faster, and deadlier than ever."

Velociraptors

-Pack Hunters

-Rushed and overpowered alone

-hooked claw

-not much in terms of stamina

Boomstick said, "It was a good thing they used the basic raptor DNA too. These ancient predators were pack hunters and masters of ambush, but that doesn't mean they weren't capable on their own. They could overpower their opponents singlehandedly by grabbing them with a hooked claw toe on their feet and striking at areas like the belly or the throat. However, they don't have much in terms of stamina, making them like the cheetahs of the prehistory world."

Everyone blinked in surprise. They were shocked to see Boomstick knew so much about dinosaurs. He only ever showed this kind of aptitude when it came to guns.

Wiz blinked in surprise and said, "Boomstick, I'm surprised you know this much about dinosaurs. I thought you only did this with guns."

Boomstick smiled and said, "I wanted a pet dinosaur when I was a kid, and I decided what better to keep guard of your secret candy stash than a monstrous six-foot lizard of death. Guess what his name would have been?"

Wiz blinked and asked, "Fangs?"

The gun lover shook his head and said, "Nope. I was going to name him Barney…because of irony."

Sensing everyone's questions, Isom stopped the video and showed them an image of Barney. They were starting to see the irony given a velociraptor seemed not only vicious, but this Barney looked like a giant plush toy.

Wiz said, "Yes, well this is reflected in Riptor's fighting style. She's more of a hit and runner than anything else. Get in, strike, kill, get out, and repeat."

Boomstick said, "And there's the fact that Ultratech upgraded her like the million-dollar man!"

Franky sighed and, "Let me guess. More cyborgs?"

Isom answered, "Yep."

He pressed a button on his remote and showed Riptor 2.0. She was just as tall with a slightly less pointed head, with cybernetics in her back, towards her tail, three spines on the back of her head, with glowing blue energy claws on her hands and toes, with metal plates on her wrists.

Franky looked shocked at the now much more vicious and effective looking monster as well as the advanced cybernetics that went into it.

Robin, Sanji, and Brook all found it interesting. Chopper and Usopp thought it was scary. Luffy just though tit was cool.

Cybernetics and upgrades

Increased strength and speed

Energy claws

Telescopic tail

Fire breath

Wiz said, "Ultratech enhanced Riptor turning her into a powerful cyborg. There upgrades included an energy upgrade to her claws, cybernetics to enhance her strength and speed, and a telescopic tail, which can extend for greater reach. They even replaced the original Riptor's acid attack with fire breath, which she can fire in a steady stream or mortar style."

Franky rubbed his three-pointed chin, wondering if he could apply that to his fists…maybe he could use Haki as a substitute because he had no idea how to make lasers just yet.

Boomstick said, "And you bet that she can use these in her brutal moveset."

Moveset

Flame Breath

Primal Run

Flame Carpet

Survival Run

Predator Mode

Shoulder Charge

Talon Rake

Shadow Moves

Instinct Mode

Boomstick said, "She can launch flames at her opponent with flame breath or cover the ground in flames with Flame Carpet. She can even launch fireballs while retreating with the Survival Run maneuver."

Wiz said, "Using the Predator Mode stance and Primal Run she can set them up for a fire blasts, or claw attack, can enhance her attacks with her Shadow Moves, and claw her opponents in the face with her feet using Talon Rake, and knock them over with her tail with Tail Flip."

Boomstick said, "And if she wants to charge in fast, she can use the Shoulder Charge and knock them into the air and slam them down with Clever Girl."

Wiz said, "And thanks to her enhancements she can enter Instinct Mode which pushes her cybernetics to their limits, increasing her speed, and the range of her flames and tail."

Boomstick said, "You think that this would make her nearly unstoppable, but she can only take so much. She has limits to her attacks, and if she's interrupted in her combo's she can be countered. Plus, the human parts of her brain and badass raptor parts, don't exactly mix well."

"You don't say," Nami said, before blinking suddenly and asking, "Hey Chopper did you have issues with your instincts when you were small?"

Chopper said, "Not really. Hey, Isom, do zoan devil fruits effect their user like that?"

Isom answered, "From my information, yes. The more savage the beast the harder it is to control. Image how it is for prehistoric predator zoan users."

Zoro nodded his head and said, "It must take a lot of control."

Wiz said, "Now, she has made progress as time has gone on and she has been able to keep herself calm, but if Riptor is left confused or enraged she can lash out in frustration, as the primal and human parts of her mind can clash in moments, and while she is fast, she isn't exactly agile, and while she can breathe fire, she isn't fire proof as seen when she was beaten by the Viking Tusk."

Boomstick suddenly began to sing, parodying the Barney theme song, "BUUUUUUUT…Riptor is a dinosaur with laser claws and fire. If you see her, you'd best haul ass or things will soon turn dire."

Moments later, Boomstick was struck in the face with another paperweight.

Wiz groaned and said, "Great. Now I'm going to have that earworm all day."

Brook said, "And now, so will I. Not that I have ears."

Isom said, "Could have been worse. Could have been…no no no, not bringing that earworm up again."

The doors closed and reopened.

Wiz said, "The combatants are set, the ring is nice and polished, and Boomstick has his popcorn."

Munching on said snack, Boomstick said, "Who is going to going back to the dirt? Let's find out in this dinosaur death battle!"

Everyone began to debate on who would in. Many had originally thought Yoshi would be destroyed, but they learned from the Goomba vs Koopa, that appearances weren't everything. Now, they were all believing that Yoshi would be able to pull off a victory.

The doors closed and reopened, showing the mushroom kingdom. A large group of Yoshi were roaming around, eating food and generally being happy and gentle, happy music filling the air. Suddenly, a bright portal opened and ARIA followed by a large pack Riptors exited it.

"Whoa," Franky said in awe of the beautiful technology before him, "What is that?"

Isom answered, "ARIA an artificial intelligence that is the main bad boss behind Ultratech."

"Such small pathetic creatures," she said, "This should be a good test for you. Kill them all!"

The pack of Riptors each roared and charged into the mushroom kingdom. The Yoshi all screamed in horror and started to run away from the oncoming assault.

One Yoshi looked panicked like the others as a few were pounced on and eaten, impaled with tails, or shredded with claws, one Riptor cornered this Yoshi and leapt at it. However, Yoshi's eyes narrowed as its fear was replaced with determination and it prepared for battle.

FIGHT!

"Go, Yoshi!" Chopper and Usopp cheered.

Riptor charged forward screeching with a swipe of her claws. Yoshi ducked underneath using his smaller size and jumped out with a brief tackle. Riptor regained her balance and spun around aiming to pierce the small dinosaur with her tail, only for it to be grabbed by the more intelligent dinosaur. Yoshi spun like a top and threw Riptor away, sending her crashing into another of her species just as it was about to roast another Yoshi.

Riptor snarled charged forward before performing a flame carpet, covering the area in flames. Yoshi simply jumped into the air and tried to perform ground pound, however Riptor countered with a survival run, launching backward and unleashing a few mortar style fire blasts, which caught Yoshi burning the little dinosaur's skin.

Everyone winced at the flames and saw that the little guy was getting hurt. However, he was clearly holding his own.

With the smaller dinosaur stunned, Riptor charged in with her teeth and claws, brutally attacking the Yoshi, drawing blood from various scratches. Yoshi covered himself in an egg for protection, but a quickly tail flip from Riptor knocked him and sent him rolling, sending him smashing through several bricks.

Yoshi got up dazed and confused before blinking in disbelief. He was surrounded by all kinds of objects he could use. Yoshi grinned and swallowed a watermelon as Riptor charged again.

Riptor attempted to burn Yoshi to a crisp but was stopped by a barrage of ice watermelon seeds. Yoshi then followed up with a series of powerful punches and kicks to the cyborg dinosaur. Riptor caught herself and attempted another flame carpet. Yoshi leaped up to avoid it, and Riptor followed suit, attack with a Talon Rake.

She followed this up with a bite, and then slammed Yoshi onto the ground. She backed away and fired a blast of flame at the briefly immobilized Yoshi, only for the dinosaur to shoot out his tongue and eat the flaming projectile. He then took out a red egg and tossed it, lighting the velociraptor on fire and sending her squealing and rolling around.

Sanji smirked and said, "Looks like the clever girl can't take the heat."

Isom said, "Dude that was horrible."

Yoshi glanced to his side and saw a cliff nearby and taking notice of the other power ups available to him, he moved and started smashing more to get a few others he might need. Then he let out a call to his other surviving Yoshis who were starting to fight back as well. With a nod, they all began moving with the Riptor clones following them.

Robin rubbed her chin in thought and asked, "I wonder what they are planning."

Zoro said, "If it looks like it, the little guy might be planning something."

Meanwhile, our Riptor was now free of flames, but very well done, Riptor had lost all reasoning. Predatory instinct and anger ruled her mind as she went into predator mode, unleashing a loud roar as she charged at Yoshi faster than ever.

Yoshi smirked as he activated a Yoshi star and started leading Riptor on a merry chase, taking all her damage and unleashing very little of his own, launching eggs. At this point, the star wore off and Yoshi was vulnerable, just in time to take a headbutt to the face and knock him down.

Riptor leaped into the air to pounce on Yoshi, but Yoshi lashed out with his tongue, grabbing a dash pepper, and racing off. Riptor followed and prepared to take him down.

However, as they reached the cliff. Yoshi immediately spun around, and tackled Riptor with a grunt and then created a huge egg for his mega eggdozer and slammed it down on her with a great deal of strength, enough to crack the ground.

"I think I know what their planning," Chopper said, seeing the cliff cracking.

Yoshi then took out his remaining two power-ups, a mega mushroom, and some wings. Yoshi attached the wings to his back and flew up high as fast as he could. When he reached the height he desired, he ditched the wings and ate the mega mushroom, growing to a much larger size.

"He's gonna cause a rock slide," Usopp yelled, "Genius."

Nami smirked and said, "Looks like smarts is going to take this fight."

He then performed a final ground pound, falling like a green and white meteor smashing into the ground with a loud boom. The cliff beneath him crumbled and fell away, taking with a few trees, bushes, a green pipe…and a pink car with a flame pattern on it.

"Is that a car?" Nami asked, earning a nod from Isom.

Sanji asked, "What is it doing there."

Isom simply said, "Comedy."

Riptor fell screaming to the earth bellow.

Yoshi followed, leaping from rock to rock, and using the scuttle jump to close the gaps, and started glowing with rainbow energy. When he had Riptor in his sight, he shot forward like a green and white bullet bill, forming his rainbow energy weapon and smashing through the dinosaur, cutting off her head in a frightening display of gore!

K.O.!

Zoro blinked and said, "Dang. For a little guy, he is pretty brutal."

Luffy declared, "Mystery rainbow power!"

At the bottom of the cliff, the other Yoshi lead the remaining Riptor pack to a halt and threw flame filled eggs to cause a fire to surround them. They were then crushed by the falling debris, and Yoshi landed in a heroic pose just as the car fell to the ground an exploded for an epic background.

They all stared at their apparent leader before cheering happily and doing their own happy dance in celebration.

The doors closed and reopened revealing Wizard and Boomstick watching a split screen. One showed the Yoshis dancing victoriously, and the other showed ARIA watching in disbelief.

Franky smirked and said, "It looks like the big bad bot needs to go back to the drawing board."

Nami said, "Although, I do think it is a little creepy seeing them happy dance in front of a giant fire like that."

Boomstick yelled, "Oh, damn it. My car! I just got the final payment for it."

Wiz said, "You were insured right?"

Boomtick glared at his cohost and said, "Yeah, sure. I'm pretty sure I have coverage for dinosaur death battle hazard written on my policy. Just finish the damn show."

Wiz blinked and said, "Okay. This didn't get the way a lot of us thought it would when we first started our observations. With her ferocity, superior size, and multiple weapons, you'd think Riptor would have had this in the bag, and if she could have kept Yoshi scared for long enough, she could have."

Boomstick, now holding some papers, said, "However, a six-foot monster raptor cyborg has nothing on a giant fire breathing turtle monster."

"I take it that they're talking about Bowser, right?" Sanji said, raising an eyebrow.

This earned a nod.

Wiz said, "Plus, Riptor, while a powerful predator, Riptor didn't have anything that matched Yoshi's superior speed, strength, and durability. Her upgrades and savagery did give her an edge, but they weren't any match for Yoshi's more expansive arsenal of power ups and the oddity of biology that is his digestive tract."

Boomstick, continuing to go through the papers, said, "Don't get us wrong, both could have ended the fight pretty early. Yoshi could take a hit if his time in Smash Bros and Mario Party is anything to go by, and Riptor could have ended the fight herself by going for any of his vital areas. Meanwhile, Yoshi could have ended the fight with one of his more powerful forms, like dragon or super happy Yoshi."

Wiz said, "In the end, it came down to intelligence. Yoshi could see Riptor's strengths and weaknesses and could come up with something to save himself, while Riptor mainly resided on predatory instinct."

Boomstick said, "And a car driving, Olympics playing dino is much better than one that barely even knows how to think without overloading his brain, thus leading to this clever girl getting a crushing defeat."

"Boo," Usopp said, "Boo, get off the stage."

Wiz said, "The winner is Yoshi."

Boomstick's eyes widened as he yelled, "Hey, my insurance does cover my car being destroyed as collateral damage from an epic fight to the death…who knew?"

The doors closed.

Isom said, "Do you have insurance for this ship Franky?"

Franky scoffed and said, "Yeah, you're looking at him."

Next time on Death Battle…

A supped up car is seen speeding through the streets, picking up dust and sending bits of rubber down the road. From the skyscrapers above, someone flew through the air and landed on the hood, revealing a man in a red and white suit, with a white spider on his chest.

"There's our fist fighter," Nami said, observing the man.

The man drew his arm back and prepared to punch through it, only for the cockpit of the car to open and someone to launch out of it. The red and blue man launched something from his wrist and flew up after the driver.

The figure who flew from the car, which came to a screeching stop, and spread out a cape gliding through the air and launching himself at the red and blue suited man. Just as they were about to clash, a bolt of lightning struck, and they faced each other.

Marvel vs DC. Batman vs Spiderman

"Marvel and DC," Sanji observed, and said, "We're going to be seeing them lot here, aren't we?"

Isom answered, "Yep. They've been rivals for a real long time."

Cut! Okay, I hoped you liked the episode. Let me know what you thought. Criticism is welcome. Flames will be ignored and doused by Luffy's water attacks.
