So let's go show the world what we're made of! This is for all the marbles! For our king!
Yeah! This is for you, Lord Bowser!"

- Captain Goomba. The most loyal Goomba ever exist in the Bowser Kingdom


Back to the forest, the sounds of loud clunk echoed through the forest as the continuously beating on the bull knight carry on, while the knight in question can only watch himself being beaten to the point of sinking into the ground deeper with each punches powerlessly.

As the gargantuan Grimm brought both hands above its head, ready for the killing blow, something jumped onto its back. The creature immediately halts its action, its head twisting slightly, noticing the assailant that was hanging onto its neck. Before it was about to remove the small pest that dear to jump on it, a sharp pain occurred on the side of its neck, causing the monster to roar in pain, turns out, it was Petey who was sinking his razor teeth into the Grimm's neck, like a primal beast hunting its prey by going for the neck. In the next moment, Petey's body starts discharging electricity, sending shocks to the giant beast.

"RWWWWWWAAAAAAAARR!" The giant Grimm screech in pain, as the pain of thousand needle stabs storm through its whole system, forced to endure the pain, the Grimm immediately starts thrusting, twisting, and swinging violently in a circle to shake off its attacker, yet Petey's jaw remains firmly closed on the beast's flesh, the Piranha Plant refuses to let go.

Finally, the Grimm's hand reached behind its back and grabbed onto Petey, with gritting teeth, the monster yanked Petey off its neck, tearing away a small proportion of the flesh in the process, a small price to pay for the ends. Black goop leaking from the wounds, yet the monster's main focus was on the damn pest that dared to challenge it. Holding Petey in front of it, the Grimm moved its other free hand to Petey's head, intending to crush his head with the palm. Said Piranha Planet however doesn't seem to be fazed by the threat at present, as he spat the tore off flesh back at the Grimm's face while making a disgusted pout with his tongue sticking out. In response, the Emnity roared in Petey's face before grabbing his head, definitely peeved.

Yet again, just as the monster was about to inflict the killing blow by crushing Petey, another pain prevented it from doing so. As a sharp wound opened up on its back.

Turns out, this time it was King Boo, who slashed the Grimm's back with his halberd, a wrathful snarl present on his ever happy-go-lucky face. He was mad.

"Get your filthy hands off him." Stating his anger, with his weapon overhead, Boo smashed the blade down on the beast's back, making yet another chopping wound, this time aiming at the beast's spine.

"RWWWWAAAAAAR!" The Emnity spun around, throwing its free hand at the floating man, only to have its target disappear before its hand reached. As the monster looked around furiously to look for its enemy, the hand that was holding Petey was suddenly chomped, this time a severe wound deep to the bone. Unable to bear the pain, the Grimm let go of Petey, who immediately drew distance between himself & the beast.

"Alright, partner, let's do this!" Knowing they'll have each other's back, King Boo grinned, time to have some real fun.

Taking the first turn, Boo disappeared once more, and reappeared behind the Grimm, taking another sneak attack on the beast's thick hide. The beast quickly react and spun around to throw a punch, only too slow to catch up with the ever sneaky & agile ghost monarch, as the Emnity tried to locate Boo, another sharp wound opened up on its shoulder, it tries to attack with another punch, only to miss once more, the reaper-like ghost king dances his way around the Grimm, having the monster toyed in the palm of his hand.

Furious, the Grimm took a different approach, the red electricity spread and covered its body, the red sparks cracked and shot off its skin dangerously, as if saying its body is now conductive, try approaching if you dare.

The monster's strategy immediately gets a result, as Boo reappears in front of it, a seemingly impressed expression hanging on his face. "Ok, Zap Tap? You're definitely somewhat sentient if you figure to get yourself electrified just to repel me." Then his lips arched from ear to ear sinisterly and slyly. "Too bad I can just do THIS!" He points his halberd at the beast, immediately, blue flames shoot off from the tip of the blade, homing onto the target in front of its path.

"!" Seeing the upcoming surprising attack, the Emnity brought up both arms to block the attack, despite being blue, the lowest temperature color of flames, the burning ghost fire was packing inferno blazing from the hell, the scorching heat charred the surface skin of both arms, making the Grimm hiss in pain.

Immediately following the heat blast's distraction, Petey zapped behind the towering beast, and deliver a mean kick directly at the spine located in the monster's waist, his feet sinking into the muscle mass, the sudden distribution in the central nerve halted all the action of the body, including the red electricity as it dispelled, and the Grimm's back arched automatically as it cries in agony, at that moment, the beast's arms stretch to both sides and pushed it's chest forward due to the reflex nerve reacting, leaving its chest exposed.

Seeing his chance, King Boo closed up in front of the beast and slashed the red orb located in the center of the chest. "Eat this!"

A diagonal gashing wound opened on the red orb, red glowing tar & blood-like substances flooded out from the wound like a losing dam, flooding a puddle underneath the Grimm, the Emnity dropped onto its knees, holding its chest in agony. Unrecognizable noise escaped its jaw, but one thing is for certain for the two Boss Minions, it was definitely whining in immense pain.

Seeing their enemy is on their knees, King Boo can't be helped but smirk devilishly. "Well well, not so tough and mighty now are you? A valid effort, you've certainly made it far, but this is as far as you go, cause there's no way you can ever hope to defeat us, not even in your dreams, because we're the invincible Bowser Kingdom."

Adjust his weapon around the beast's neck, he whispered. "Now… any last words?" An evil look glinted in his eyes.

No response, the Grimm still clutching its wounds.

"Oh well, that means I don't even have to play messenger." Remarked the ghost monarch, who then readied his weapon. Just as he's about to swing the blade down, electrical discharges from Grimm's body, catching both Minions in its huge radius. "GeRRRRrrrrRRrrrRRrrRRrrRrr!" The zappy energy flows through King Boo's spiritual body, while electricity can't hurt ghosts, it still can stun them just as effectively as it does on the living.

Meanwhile, Petey only feels a small itch as his magic element is currently in thunder thanks to the Dust crystal. Fortunately for the ghost king, their Piranha friend was quick enough to get him away from the radius thanks to his only element being thunder at the moment.

Unfortunately, using the chance, the Emnity freed itself from the ground, crouching down, the Grimm tensed up its leg, before shooting off like a pressed spring, electricity cracking over its whole body, as it throws a punch at the duo.

Seeing the incoming giant fist, Petey throw Boo away, saved his best friend from the immense upcoming pain, the Piranha Mutant took the full force from the punch to the stomach and was sent flying all the way toward a cliff wall like a rocket, buried all the way inside the soil.

The ghost king rolled on the floor, before slowing down and landing on his side, he looked toward where Petey crashed into and cried in worry. "Petey!" Shifting his eyes back at the guilty party, the specter glared hatefully. "Alright, that's it, you have officially pissed me off." Summoning his weapon back in hand, King Boo twirls it stylishly, before pointing the blade at Grimm. "No more Mr. nice-guy, you damn oversized battery!"

As if accepting the ghost king's challenge, the Emnity dropped on all four, before shooting off towards King Boo, with said specter engaging it.


Back in the amphitheater in Beacon, everyone watched the fight in awe and tension, despite having four members down, King Boo was trying his best to direct the Grimm's attention on him, keeping the Grimm from remembering to finish the other member off, the ghost was seemly trying his hardest to throwing insulting words on the Grimm to keep his own negative emotion burning.

On the screen, the ghost was flying around the giant Emnity like a persistent fly, making the beast rage.

In their seats, many students pray to the gods that let their future teachers be safe.

"Please win, please win, please win!" Crossing her fingers, Ruby nervously prays for their new teachers' safety & victory.

"They're really duking it out." Murmured Yang, her eyes gluing at the intense battle between King Boo and the Emnity. Both were trying their hardest to kill each other, with Boo fade-in & out constantly around the Grimm, sneaking in a few slashes or jabs only when there's an safe opening; and the Grimm getting angrier and angrier on its action as the battle goes.

Watching silently, Weiss had gained some respect for the ghostly man, he may be rude and ill-mannered, but it would seem that he at the very least cared for his comrades.

"Come on! Break its leg!" Unable to restrain her temper, Nora joined a certain Koopa prince in the act of cheering.

Observing the battle, Pyrrha found herself filled with various emotions stirring inside, she was happy, worried, and scared all simultaneously, happy that her future professors are very skilled, worried they might be majorly wounded, and scared that the worst situation might happen. Her only hope is that their teachers survive the day so they'll be able to teach them, herself mostly.

The Koopalings and Bowser Junior were still calmly watching the fight, the violent battle is nothing unusual to them, if anything, this provides a much better picture for them as to how powerful they're currently in this new world, if the Boss Minions could defeat a rare elder Grimm, something that's probably a super boss level monster, then it basically means they'll have this world conquered in no time. But if they don't win…

"Well, at least that fade-in-and-out ability is still useful here." Comment Larry.

"But it would amount to nothing the moment he took a hit." Argued Roy, knowing damn well how frailed Boos usually are. Agility is Boo's game and nature, while durability was their biggest flaw.

In the professor's seats, Glynda, Port, and Oobleck watched the live feed with much dread and helplessness, their new friends are completely at the mercy of their own strength and skill, if they can manage to survive this encounter, they may still be able to get the whole situation under control, but if any one of them getting killed or they all end up dying, the sheer amount of negative emotion backlash create by the whole academy might attract a massive horde of Grimm invasion toward Beacon, it would no doubt lead to chaos & disaster.

What's worse, since the initiation already started, they couldn't stop observing, if they were to cut the camera feed now, a certain degree of disturbed and negative emotion would certainly emerge within the crowd; yet, not stopping the observing, there's a chance their new staff might be able to come out victorious, even if the chance of that happening is slim but if the miracle happened, their victory may dispel whatever fear the student may have.

'But more importantly, if the worst were to come, the queen might use this chance to make her move.' Winced Glynda, knowing how bad the situation is. Looking down at the floor, her mind drifts to a certain young lady currently hidden somewhere secretly underneath the whole Academy.

In her mind, a certain conversation with Ozpin a few days ago resurfaced in her mind.


"Glynda, what do you think of their magic?"

"Their magic? Well… aside from the seemingly absurd brutal strength, I don't have many options at the moment as I have yet to see the rest of their capability."

"What about Mr. Boo? You did see him using his magic back in the robbery at Vale"

"Him? Ignore his insufferable personality, his ghost-like power could easily rival at least 3 person's worths of Semblances, maybe going toe-to-toe with Qrow if we were to make them spar against each other."

"Is that so?... That means the rest still remains to be seen…"

"For such a particular question coming from you, is something on your mind?"

"..."

"..."

"Do you think… they might be able to help Amber?"

"Amber? You don't think… there exists such advanced magic that could cure her?"

"If there's one, it would be the most ideal situation. but that is not what troubles me… what really troubles me… For the first time in my life, I feel so tiny, the world I used to know… turns out to be much bigger than I experienced, that I still haven't seen everything… And I want to see more… I want to know more… Does that make me a fool? Or am I always the fool."

"..."


Looking up to focus back on the feed, she prayed, prayed for their safety. If deity really exist, she hoped that her voice could be heard.

Back in the forest, the ghost man and the beast were still close onto each other's necks.

Turning transparent again, Boo let his whole body phrase through the Grimm's fist, once the Grimm's back moved past him, he immediately turn physically and slashed the monster's back.

The Grimm winced once more, immediately spin around to deliver a backward swing, yet Boo evades the attack easily by phasing through once more.

Laughing snarkily, Boo mocked. "So sad, wasn't it? All those power and muscle, yet you couldn't even land a finger on me, how pathetic, just like your very existence!" Double down on his usual offending insults, Boo wants to make this as personal as it could get. Nobody hurt his best bro and get away with it. Nobody!

Sneering as if understanding the remark, the Grimm roared back as if saying it'll kill him for all of these humiliations, not that Boo minds, no matter where, when, or why, annoying the heck out of his enemy is what he lives and strives for.
Besides, ghosts can't die!

The beast charged once again, this time throwing a full punch, its fist extended out, leaving itself vulnerable and wide open, seeing the opening, King Boo drove his halberd deep into the beast's shoulder, yet didn't realize he had already fallen for the Grimm's trap.

"Zzzzzzzzzz-PANG !" The Emnity immediately discharged its electrics, taking advantage by exploiting the metal rod currently stuck onto its body, the weapon becoming the perfect bridge to transfer the shock directly onto King Boo.

"GeeeRRrrrrRRRRrrrRrrRrrRRR!" Yet another painful experience with sharpening needles stabbing through his whole system, the static electricity kept Boo's hand glued on his weapon, even if he wish to let go of it, the Grimm did not stop there as it keep shocking.

"zzzzzzzzzzzz-PANG-zzzzzzzzz-PANG-zzzzzzzzz!" The sound of electricity cracking echoes throughout the forest, accompanied by the uncomfortable cry from King Boo.

Once the shock stopped, Boo dropped to the floor, his whole body twitching unresponded & uncontrollably, his whole nerve system numbed from the electrocution.

Darting his eyes toward the culprit, Boo cursed in his mind. This is bad, super bad, if only he had a Feeling Fine badge, this whole situation could be avoided, now he's defenseless and unable to move, can't even turn himself transparent to evade.

Tearing the weapon off its shoulder and tossing it away, breathing furiously, the Emnity stand up, adjust its body toward the collapsed man, clutches both hands, and crouch down again, red electricity sparking across its body once more, as it prepared to deal the killing blow.


Back in Beacon, everyone watched the feed with dread, many gasped, some shrieked and cried, but all were terrified as the last standing member was knocked down, this day had turned into a nightmare.

In their seat, the Koopalings looked among others, were they overestimated their capability?

"Well, that really went downhill." Said Larry as he scratched his head. Man, why can't things for once just go in their favor?

"Would it be too late to go rescue them?" Asked Lemmy. The situation is not good for them, and more importantly, would extra life work just the same way as it did in this new world? In all honesty, none of them was eager to find out the answer, since they do not want to risk it, but if the boss minions died, it would also hinder their progress in their goal of conquering this planet, since they couldn't afford to lose manpower as this problem was never a concern back in their world.

"Will you guys have some faith?" Calmly speaking from the Koopa Prince, gone his usual impatienceness, replaced with a rare serious attitude. "We're the Bowser Kingdom, we yield to no one, if they dare to lose, they'll dishonor dad's name. So there's no way they'll lose, caus nobody dishonored dad and get away with it." His voice was firm, full of confidence.

After the blorb incident, in Jr.'s understanding, everyone followed dad because dad was not only strong but also cared about everyone's well being as a leader should (a lesson he learned in the hard way), in response to dad's will, the minions would do anything in their power to return the favor. At least, that's how he remembers Kamek's words.

The 6 siblings shared a glance at each other, reflecting on their prince's word, focusing back on the screen, a mutual agreement was then made without a word said. The Boss Minions were included in the army and titled directly by Bowser himself, if the king had faith in them, then so should they.

Back in the forest, helplessly watching the beast bring its hands overhead, Boo gulped, this is gonna suck, a lot. Maybe just as much as getting beaten by Mario, or maybe Luigi. He cast one last close look at the giant beast's muscular arms that definitely pack a whole world of punch... correction, this may be a lot worse than he imagines.

"ROOOOOAAAAAARRRRR!" The monster screeched loudly, causing Boo to flinch mentally. Knowing a headache is coming, Boo closed his eyes, preparing to grit his teeth tightly for the pain to come. Only to hear the Grimm suddenly yelp in pain, and a familiar war cry.
"RWAR!"

"Ung-URGH!"

Opening his eyes, he saw a Big Bully slamming the Grimm to the side, the two rollings violently on the ground like a tangled tumbleweed, both desperately trying to fight for the top, struggling like a fight between a wrestler and a bear.

With a mighty slam, the armored man pinned the Grimm's head on the floor, before throwing punches mercilessly on the Enmity's face, left hook, right hook, left hook, right hook, each aimed to crack the head skull of the monster. A payback for his earlier predicament.

Its fighting instinct screaming at itself, the Grimm rolled on its spine, using its enormous body and ripe muscle, the beast tossed the armored knight away and off itself.

Despite its head still spinning from the punch, the Grimm tried to stand up, only to be assaulted by something slamming into its face, the Enmity embarrassingly fall on its rear, holding its face, and whinnying in agony,

The object bounce of its face and slammed onto the floor with a thud, as we take a closer look, it was Goomboss' club. Both ghost and bull-man turned their gaze toward the source where the weapon was coming from, and they saw the Goomba monarch standing there, his skin already turning orange as he had entered his first level rage buff, his burly mustache and hair floating waverly like a burning flame.

Despite his body still not responding to him, a grin crawled upon his face, Boo quipped. "About damn time, what took you so long to get up?"

"Don't you dare test me right now, this headache is killing me, and I'm in a very foul mood. The last thing I want is to waste my rage on you. Yet." Standing there, the Goomba monarch had his skin turning orange, his white mane & mustache had grown longer and afloat like a waving flame, plus a foul scorn to match his mood.

"How generous of you." Witty back by Boo with eye-rolling and sarcasm.

Near them, the Enmity discovered a newfound emotion within itself, fury, lots and lots of furies, these five men for some damn reason refuse to go down easily, what's even more infuriating is that they keep interrupting it when it's trying to kill. Slamming the round angrily, the Grimm screeched at them, the negative power within itself becoming its own newfound fuel.

Yet as it was about to attack, something hit its face and exploded. Making the Enmity fall on its back yet again.

The three stares at the now knocked down beast, looking among themselves, before shifting around and looking toward where Bob-omb crashed into.

"That, wasn't very nice, was it?" Standing there, holding its back, King Bob-omb had one arm holding his sore back, the other arm that was extended out was smoking from launching a bomb, huffing in annoyance, he ranted. "The creatures these days, no manners nor dignity."

He took a step forward, only to have a "pop" sound off from his back, resulting in his face looking blue and eye-widening. "Ow ow ow ow ow oww!" He moaned before dropping all four on the floors in cold sweats. "MY BACK!" His cry echoed through the forest.

Yikes. Was the thought shared among the three bosses as they stare at the old bomb with sweatdrops and wince.

The Grimm, despite being battered and tired, hadn't forgotten to take the advantage of its enemy's inattentiveness to pay attention to it. Taking the chance, it tries to push itself up, only for the ground underneath it caved in, its legs were pulled into the ground, throwing it off-balanced, the beast flopped on the ground with a yelp, puzzled yet more frustrated by the constant interruption in its slaughter-fest.

Now with half body stuck underground, the beast tries to free itself, only to receive an uppercut to the jaw from the underground, as Petey bursts out directly underneath it like a mole, his fist holding straight and up.

"GALKAR BARKBORK!? GLAKAR!" (How do you like that?! You Meanie!)

Receiving a powerful punch in the jaw had efficiently stunned the Grimm temporarily, as it fell on its back once more.

Fuming with steam coming off his head, Petey spat out the dirt in his mouth, as well as brushed off the dirt on his costume. One of the many convenient powers of being a plant base creature is being able to dig under the ground. "GLABO BARBORKA. GLAR GARBO BARKBOR? GAKRAK!" (Punching the stomach. Can you believe this guy? The nerves!)

"Good to see you still kicking ass, buddy." Playfully remarked back, Boo sat up, the paralyzed feeling fading a little, his body finally start responding to his command once more.

Carefully lame his way over to the group, King Bob-omb eyeing the still downing Grimm with mild annoyance. "So, how should we handle the nuisance?"

At this part, the Enmity finally snaps awake from its dizziness, it lifts its head up, only to meet with 5 pairs of eyes glaring at it nefariously.

It was at this moment it knew, it fucked up.


Back in Beacon, many in the crowd were cheering loudly as their new staff members had stood up and fought back once more, despite most of them having taken some nasty hits, they were able to get back up and somehow manage to bring the Enmity down to its legs.

"Come on! Beat its ugly ass!"

"Show it what you got!"

"Defeat it!"

"Break its legs!"

In team RWBY's seat, Yang and Ruby had to stand up and cheered loudly for their new professors, accompanied by Jaune, Nora of team JNPR.

To think this whole cheering movement was started by the Faunus kid cheering loudly at the front row.

Despite not participating as enthusiastically as their teammates, Weiss, Blake, Ren, and Pyrrha were leaning forward without themselves realizing it, they are just as heavily investing in this turn of the table as the rest of their friends, with Pyrrha focusing intensely on the fight the most.

In the staff member's seat, Port let out a breath as he collapsed on his seat. "Phew, that was quite a close call eh?"

"Too close for comfort if I may say." Reminds by Oobleck, who was wiping his cold sweat with a handkerchief. "Truthfully, I'm just glad that it was them who encountered the Enmity, had it been any other normal person from Remnant…" The rest of the message was very much left unsaid.

"Don't get your hope up yet, this battle is not over. Not until that Grimm is eliminated." Reprimand from Glynda, whose eyes never leave the screen.

True to her words, the only way to indicate a Grimm as death is when their body vapes into nothingness, and the Enmity's body is still intact as a whole.

Unbeknownst to the people in the room, two-person were watching the battle from the entrance door to the amphitheater, said two being Ozpin and Ludwig.

An all-knowing and amused smile curled on Ludwig's face, as he turned to face Ozpin, whose eye was glued to the live feed playing on the stage. "See what I mean? These loyal knuckleheads are too much of a stubborn bunch to be easily rid of, they've survived worse."

Opposite to him, an indescribable expression was present on Ozpin's face, possibly composed of shock, perplexity, wonder, baffle, and maybe a little bit of fear. (Ludwig's ego guess)

In all his life, Ozpin had yet to see any individual other than the Maidens taking down dangerous Grimm like Enmity without suffering major damage, himself included. Yet these five were able to receive damages like that and shrug it off as if it were nothing serious but a small bump. In his mind, he was growing more curious and worried about what kind of world they lived in if damages like this are considered as a daily basis scratch.

Having a good reading on the headmaster's face, Ludwig decides that was enough teasing on the old man. "Anyway, now that you know how capable they are, I supposed there wouldn't be any problem to enroll them in as teachers, no?"

Ozpin slowly turn to face the Koopaling, his mind still processing what he had just witnessed, then he snapped back to reality. "Uhm, no, no, I believed that after a display like this, no one in this academy would have any problem with them getting the job." Even outside the academy. He thought.

That was all Ludwig needed to hear, if the Minions have proven to be more capable than Ozpin had expected, then it means more reason for him to keep them close to himself, in a way, this works out in Ludwig's favor. "Well, I'm glad to prove my point of view to be right. Now if you'll excuse me, I must reunite with my team, they must be wondering where I went off, and I still want to catch the end of our future teacher's performance."

With that, Ludwig pushes the door open.

Taking his chance, Ozpin expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for letting me hire them as the teacher in this school, I know they will be great additions to Beacon, and many would be able to learn from them."

The Koopaling paused at the door frame, before slightly turning his head, not showing his face. "Just knowing that they're still our people, not yours, remember that, and we won't have any problems." He coldly reminds.

With that, Ludwig enters the room to regroup with his family, leaving the headmaster to his thoughts. With a long sigh, Ozpin replied, despite the door already closed.

"I know."

Behind the door, Ludwig let out an exhausted breath he has been holding ever since coming out to comfort Ozpin, this was too much of a gamble he took, if the Boss Minions didn't make it, it would surely put a serious dent in his plan. Baffling, one of the many skills he was not proud of owning and mastering, but alas, it was an essential deed if he were to take control of Ozpin, lying, cheating, manipulating. All for the kingdom and Lord Bowser.

Ruffling his hair, Ludwig sighed in relief, once they reunited with the kingdom, the first thing he's going to do is give the five Boss Minions a raise.

Focusing his eyes on the screen, the battle is coming to an end. Good, at least he managed to catch up with the Finale, let's see how the Bosses will rollick this symphony.


Back in Emerald Forest, the Enmity backed away, dodging a punch from Petey, only to be slashed by Boo in the back from the blindside, it tries to turn around, only to meet a double punch from both Goomboss & Bigbully right in the face, sending it to fall on its back.

With the target temporarily knocked down, contributing to this battle the best as he could, the still hunch-down King Bob-omb made a bomb in his own hand, and tossed it toward the Enmity.

The Grimm, seeing the dangerous explosive landing near its face, quickly shoot up and back away, narrowly dodging a bomb blast to the face, only to be tackled from behind, with Petey kicking it in the spine again.

Falling on all four, the Grimm felt someone grabbing it by its legs, and soon the beast found itself being dragged, then spinning, faster and faster. Turns out, Big Bully was, ironically, spinning madly like a certain Italian plumber when swinging a certain Koopa King.

Seeing the Bull knight ready, Boo made a dramatic broadcast comment like a commentator as his hand faked a holding motion as if grabbing a mike. "Allllllllright! Ladies & Gentlemen! Welcome to the sudden arbitrary baseball game! I'm your commentator, King Boo! And here on this fine day, we have our first pitcher of the match on the pitcher mound! Let's give a round for Biiiiiiiig Bulllllly!"

The Bull knight said nothing, focusing on the spinning as he gained more speed.

"To the home base, we have our first batter, let's give it to Goooooooombooooosss!"

Not far away from the group, buffing himself up to the second level of rage, Goomboss grew in size yet again, his skin now turned fully red, with his mane & mustache seemingly extended out more, now glowing like an actual intense white flame. He circled his arms around a thick tree trunk, before he start giving it a mighty pull, with a grunt and a heave-oh, he uproot an entire tree, giving it a few swings, before holding it like a baseball club.
"Alright! This batter is ready!" With a confident war cry, Goomboss readied himself. Time to make a hit that will be written in record history!

"Excellent! No catcher is needed as this game is totally rigged and arbitrary. Ready? Play Ball!" Bringing his hand overhead and chopping down excitedly, Boo declared the game start.

"So-Long! Ugly face!" More ironically, the catchphrase was not lost on many. As Bully let go and toss out the giant Grimm.

Unable to stop itself in any way, the Grimm helplessly flew all the way toward Goomboss, who readied his new club.

"BAM!" Following the loud noise, the entire tree slammed into the Enmity, resulting in the leaves on the tree rustling violently while accompanied by a few loud snaps from the tree branches, no doubt snapped in the process of slamming onto the Grimm.

The powerful strike sent the Grimm flying all the way to the opposite side of the battlefield, before slamming into trees after trees.

Once its crushing stopped, the Enmity whimpered in agony, never in its life had it experienced this much pain, it was supposed to be unstoppable, yet here it is, being absolutely manhandled by a bunch of humans, forget about slaughtering them, it now just want to run away to survive. Crawling up painfully, it tries to move its sore limbs, the Enmity decides to make a run for it, only to have the ground underneath it caved in again, now stuck on the floor once more, leaving it defenseless and vulnerable.

Now, finally understand how it feels to own the emotion of fear like mankind, the Grimm regrets everything.

Unrooted himself in front of the Grimm, Petey's shadow looming over the trapped beast, his yellow eye glowing with a haunting gaze, and the tooth-grinning smile on his face is not helping.

Not wasting any time, Petey starts punching the stuck prey with his fists, burning through his electricity Dust power in his stomach, Petey's fists glow as it becomes similar to lightning strikes, barrage of fists striking at the speed of a machine gun, each strike getting faster and relentless on the Grimm's body, the electricity discharging from Petey's body shooting off everywhere, making Big Bully backing away, with Goomboss dragging King Bob-omb to safety.

"RRRRAAAAAAAA!" He roared triumphantly, before smashing his forehead into the Grimm's face for the last hit, finishing the combo, and sending the beast flying.

"THUD" With a heavy slam on the ground, the Enmity laying onto its back, its head skull dented and cracked, it twitched for a moment, before the red glowing eye in its eye stock went dim, as the body went motionless.

A few seconds after its defeat, the body starts dispelling like scattering mist, decomposing into nothingness, signaling its death.

As the noise quite down, the forest returns to its usual quiet self, the sound of leaves rustling taking back their presence, while Petey's rapid breathing acts like the sharp pin that dropped on a metal plate.

Finally registering what happened, the first voice made its comment.

"Huh, was hoping I could finish it with a self-destruct explosion if that thing manages to survive that." That was all Bob-omb said. Which his work colleague reacted violently.

"Absolutely not! / Thou shan't! / Hell no!"


Back in Beacon, everyone signed in relief. That was a scare too close for comfort, but their new professor had turned out to be alright, well, except for Mr. Bomu, that back crack looks nasty for an old man like him.

Sinking back in her seat, Ruby signed in relief and appreciation, nobody died, everyone lived, it ended with a happy ending.

Slump in her seat, Weiss pat her hand over her chest tiredly. "Thank god it is over. I thought my heart was going to explode." An intense experience like this is bad for her health, yesterday's close call in the initiation was already bad enough, she really hopes there won't be any more situations like this in her time at Beacon.

Bad for health it was indeed, as the other shared the same line of thoughts. Yang was slumping in her seat in relaxation from the aftershock; Blake looked like she had lost one life as she sighed relief (get it? nine life); Jaune was taking his time to take in and process this emotional turmoil he just experienced; Ren was giving his prayer of gratitude to the gods while keeping Nora in the seat, with said Girl going over how badass their new teachers are.

And Pyrrha, oh boy.

She was trembling and perhaps squirming, but she was definitely not scared or in some aftershock from the witness just earlier, no. Because that exhilarated smile on her face tells the world a different mood, she was trying her best to keep her voice down and holding herself back from screaming. The performance, while not exactly graceful nor dignified, has completely caught her full interest and expectation, they're good at fighting, and their teamwork is excellent, not much word was shared, yet they know how to react and support others' actions in battle. And she cannot wait to attend the new professor's combat class if there's any combat class they're planning to teach.

Back to the whole point of relaxing down, the entire room collapsed on itself, as everyone was put on edge by the intense battle. Now with the threat finally over and gone, they can catch a breath.

In the Beacon staff seats, Port appulse joyfully for his new workmates for their fine performances, even though they can't hear him; While Oobleck was scribbling down the details of the power they have shown and used in their performance, the topic for his next session with them, their biology and society were just fascinating the more he learns and undiscovered.

As for Glynda? she sighed in relief as no one died, years after years, yet she never got used to this scared. However, she had an unshakeable feeling that things are going to get a lot crazier with them joining Beacon from now on. Maybe I should demand a raise from Ozpin. Considering their newly acquired source of… economic income, the budget Beacon can use had increased greatly, it's only natural if she can get some deserving reward.

In their seats, the Koopa family was discussing among themselves the performance of the initiation.

"Welp, boss, looks like we're worrying over nothing." Larry listless spoke to Ludwig. Well, that's one problem taken care of, one less thing to worry about.

"I'll admit I had my fair share of worrying, but at the very least it would seem that our army is still superior in terms of strength and prowess, crisis averted." Sighed Ludwig as he massage his temper.

"The better, I would rather not waste all my time here for training." Huffed Wendy, while the Koopalings were sticking together to this whole attending school idea due to the Prince's order & desire, she was not planning to spend her days here on this alternate world learning how to fight a bunch of filthy beasts. She had better things to do, clothes to buy, names to make for herself, and most importantly, enjoy hair salon. Star Spirits be damned if anyone gets in her way and her newly grown hairs.

"Bahaha, I'm more curious how the science behind Semblances & Grimm worked." Piped in Iggy, finding the nature of these phenomena interesting.

Can we even extract Grimm's energy essences? It would be FUN! Wee hee!

"Bah! Who cares, our Magic is still much superior." Snorted Roy, so far still finding their own brand of power much stronger than most people.

"Given how they just beat up that thing, I think they'll do just fine in teaching." Commented Lemmy.

"Still tho, it certainly looks like they got stronger after we teleported into this world." Larry points out the interesting details he noticed.

"Is that so? Could it be because they're now in humanoid shape?"

"It certainly would seem that way."

"Baahaahaa! Maybe we are under some kind of different physical law composition rule of this world?" Theories Iggy.

"MORTON WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A DUEL AGAINST MINIONS!"

"Will you buffoons keep your voice down? I don't want anyone to hear anything sensitive info." Hissed Ludwig.

Bowser Kingdom Boss Minion Profile: The Black Blur - Big Bully

"Ung-URGH!"

Watch out, here comes the bull! Big Bully marches his imposing body into the Red Plumber Mario's way during Bowser's scheme to conquer Princess Peach's castle, as the Bull makes for a tough death battle at the Lethal Lava Land.

As a species of sentient metal bull, fighting for superiority is embedded in the genes of Bullies, the strongest bull becomes the leader among the herd. Big Bully earns his title by becoming the undefeatable champion in the activities of Bump Sumo. After the defeat at the hands of the plumber, the Bull makes his comeback by becoming two times bigger than before, making himself the biggest Bully to date in known record.

With his strength, Bully can easily push and knock over a train cart out of his way. Admittedly, he has trouble standing his ground against the force from a Mushroom boosting Go-kart. (I'm no math expert, but with all real-life physical and engine estimates, I believe that Big Bully can't stop anything that goes faster than above 60-70mph, but anything below that is all fair game.)
