While Seryu Is Off Trying To Kill Umber

Dimentio appeared back in his own HQ. "Hello, my fellow villains. What seems to be on the agenda today?"

"The Emperor is currently training. Medusa is watching him. Mercury is off moping… same stuff, different day." Ghirahim said.

"Ahahaha, excellent. We're all doing things rather well." Dimentio turned to Grimm Ruby. "Most of us."

"Hey! I'll have you know I've been training just as hard as them. I'm ready to kill that bitch."

"Oh, is that right?" Dimentio asked in amusement. "You call yourself a Grimm, yet I haven't seen you do anything "Grimm-like" for a while."

"That's because you go hang out with the Crimson Fang. I do things when you're not looking."

"Oh, so you've finally learned how to eat without adult supervision? My my, this little baby grows up so fast~" Dimentio smirked, which earned him a middle finger from her. "Aaaah, you're too easy."

"I'll have you know that thanks to my Grimm powers, I am unstoppable."

"Unstoppable? This should be good."

Grimm Ruby smirked. "Grimm, come forth! Rise from the ground!" She yelled as several Beowolves and Ursai rose from the ground and roared as loud as they could.

…Only problem was, they were the size of a Nintendo 3DS.

"Hmm, yes… frightening. I think my bunny slippers decided to tip toe away in fear."

"Mock me all you want, but these bad boys are lethal!" Grimm Ruby pulled out a Super Mushroom. "Observe!" She tossed one to a pint sized Beowolf, which grew up to be rather large.

…If you count growing into a PS5 as "large".

"Behold! Now it is truly lethal!" Grimm Ruby exclaimed. "Witness it's sheer ferocity! It's true terror will make you beg for mercy!"

"…It's about the size of my waist."

"Size doesn't matter!"

"That's what he said." Ghirahim said.

"What-" Grimm Ruby blushed. "SHUT UP, GHIRAHIM!"

"This would explain why you can't get laid." Dimentio chuckled, fist bumping Ghirahim.

Grimm Ruby's face went redder. "SHUT. UP."

"Alright, show us what this bad boy can do." Dimentio said.

"With pleasure… Beowolf, destroy this asshole!" Grimm Ruby ordered as the Beowolf lunged at him, but Dimentio casually pointed a finger at the Beowolf, firing a simple magic spell that caused him to shrink back down to size.

"Truly frightening. I was so scared, I just about yawned in fright."

Grimm Ruby's eye twitched. "I… what… what even…"

"You got anything better?" Dimentio asked as Grimm Ruby smirked and pulled out a Fire Flower, tossing it to the Beowolf.

The Beowolf howled and breathed fire on Dimentio, but all it did was fry a few blades of grass. Dimentio summoned a few napkins and put it on the burning grass, then summoned a stick and some marshmallows. "Tum tum te tum~" Dimentio hummed, while Grimm Ruby's eye twitched even more.

"Here ya go, little guy." Dimentio tossed the marshmallow to the tiny Beowolf as it happily ate it. "Face it, sister, you're all washed up."

"I am NOT!"

"Let's do a little tally, shall we?" Dimentio conjured up a chalkboard, writing Ruby and Grimm Ruby's name on the board.

"Obviously, I've won the first round." Grimm Ruby said. "And all the times I've terrorized that faker, I count those as wins!"

"Uh-huh… but have you ever killed her?"

"…Have you killed the Ruby in your dimension?"

"By kill, you mean "breaking her will" and turning her against her friends… then, yes, I've killed Ruby. Chaos Ruby is nothing more than an empty husk. I wonder, did you turn Ruby into an empty husk? Oh wait, she did that to you."

Ruby: Turned Dark Ruby into an empty shell.

Dark/Grimm Ruby: Defeated Ruby once or twice

Dimentio: Ruined his Ruby's life way before his Dark Ruby could.

"Something's missing… oh!"

Chaos Ruby: More than likely killed her paper dark self.

"Let's see… given the fact I've made her into a psychic lunatic, yeah, I have a hunch that Chaos Ruby killed your paper self. Soooooo, that's another point against you!"

"I'm still alive!"

"Oh please, that boulder over there is more alive than you. It's more threatening than you too."

"Rrrrgh…"

"So let's count the weapons!" Dimentio spoke up. "Ruby has her scythe, a boomerang and her Rose Palm. However, I've been eavesdropping and I couldn't help but overhear from her boyfriend that he's giving her a bow, so that gives her a grand total of four weapons. She has a full team of Pokemon… while you… simply have a scythe. More points for the red head!"

"So what if she has a lot of weapons! Girl can't throw a punch to save her life…"

"Oh, let's not forget that she has magic under her belt now. And she can transform into a Zinogre!"

Ghirahim raised an eyebrow. "A Zinogre? Of all things?"

"Yes indeed, and she has the power of Phazon under her belt. That's my fault… I tried to kickstart Chaos Ruby in my eagerness to plunge this one into darkness. Well, on the bright side, it made Dark Samus's life miserable! Ahahahahaha!"

"Tch… so she has Phazon and can turn into a wolf… big deal. So she has a lot of points… at least I can get her to be afraid of me! At least I have that going for-" She heard Dimentio laughing. "What? What's so funny?"

"You think you can scare her… ahahahahahahaha! Oh, OH! That's a good one!" He laughed.

"It's true! She has the lingering fear!"

"Not when I unwittingly got rid of that fear!"

"…What?"

"Yeah, apparently she was so done with my crap after I threw her in Phazon that I… basically gave her a reason to no longer fear you."

"…What."

"Face it, you're old news. You're so pathetic, even the Boogeyman would laugh at you."

"That… that is not true! I am fearful! I am her fear! I AM HER NIGHTMARE! I MAKE PEOPLE FEAR ME!"

"Not from where I'm standing. You wouldn't even make a bee run away in terror."

Grimm Ruby snarled. "I'll prove it to you. You and me! Right now! I'll prove that I'm the alpha dog around here!"

Dimentio smirked. "Well, if you want to get creamed so badly…" He snapped his fingers as the two of them were taken to Dimension D. "Be my guest!"

Grimm Ruby readied her scythe. "I'll show you what I'm REALLY MADE OF!"

BGM: Your Contract Has Expired - A Hat in Time (GaMetal)

Magic formed in Dimentio's hands. "Prove to me that you're really worth a damn!" He said as he threw magic at her, but she quickly dodged to the side and slashed at Dimentio, but he casually ducked underneath and fired magic at her point blank.

Grimm Ruby was pushed back. Her eyes flashed to stop time as she jumped ahead to Dimentio and slashed him, but Dimentio disappeared. "Huh?!"

"You don't think I have a counter for that time stop?" Dimentio mocked as he snapped his fingers as a small explosion wrapped around Dark Ruby's legs, knocking her away as he snapped his fingers again as Dark Ruby was caught in a box, and then the explosion enveloped her.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" She cried as she fell on her knees, but she let out a growl and quickly aimed her scythe, shooting at him with bullets but he teleported away and fired an electric blast at her that knocked her on her back.

End BGM

"…Wait, I won so easily? Huh, usually I lose in these things. I guess I finally tweaked it to where I'm the one who gets stronger in here. Ahahahaha… or maybe, you lost your edge. You're weak."

"I'm… not weak…" Grimm Ruby said.

"Salem turned you into a Grimm and Medusa has been teaching you, yet here you are, already washed up. Honestly, if you were to face Ruby right now, her silver eyes would knock you down so hard, you'll feel like you got hit by several freight trains. That's not accounting the time where I've heard you crumpled when this Bea girl slugged you in the gut."

"Shut up…"

"I mean, look at yourself, a honey badger would stop to look at you and make fun of you, and honey badgers don't care about anything! So if a honey badger cares enough to mock you… you really are a laughing stock."

"Shut… up…"

"Poor miserable Grimm Ruby… or should I just call you Dark Ruby that's going through a phase right now? Honestly, you are nothing more than wasted potential! Ruby will cream you… because you are nothing more than a fly on the wall that deserves to get smacked by a flyswatter. You have all of these gifts that you were given, and you've done nothing with it! You've mentioned you have the Amazon powers you have from Pandora, but not once have I seen or heard you do such a thing! If anything, you're just a mistake!"

"SHUT UP!"

"And Ruby? Ahahahaha… Ruby is the true girl while you are nothing more than a miserable mistake with wasted potential and you deserve all the pain you will receive when Ruby uses her Phazon on you… you pathetic excuse of a doppelganger!"

"Shut up… SHUT UP. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP… SHUUUUUUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!" A dark aura surrounded Dark Ruby and the aura shot up into the air.

BGM: Black Powder (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)

Dimentio smirked. "Finally, your true power has awakened! Now let's get on for round two!"

Dark bones protruded out of Grimm Ruby's shoulders, fangs shot out of her mouth as horns protruded out of her head as wings propped out from her back. Claws formed on her hands and feet. A silver-y aura surrounded her body… and her body was hunched over.

Grimm Ruby snarled, snapping her fingers as Grimm tentacles shot out from underneath Dimentio and grabbed a hold of him. She lunged directly at him and slashed him with her claws, dark energy shooting out of it and striking Dimentio.

"Rrrgh!" Dimentio grunted, hitting a wall as he fell but landed on his feet. He wiped his mouth and saw his own blood in his hands. He smirked. "Good! Use that power to overwhelm me! See to it that you can destroy me!"

Grimm Ruby disappeared in darkness, reappearing behind Dimentio and slashing him, but he teleported away as he fired a magic laser at her. She aimed her hand up and blocked it with her hand before the laser turned black and it turned around and struck Dimentio on the shoulder. "Mmmph!" He grunted before smirking, clapping his hands and surrounding Grimm Ruby.

"Ahahahahaha!" The clones laughed as they fired magic at her, but Grimm Ruby flew up and flapped her wings, sending dark energy that struck all the clones as she came flying down and punched the ground to create a dark explosion that enveloped Dimentio.

"Yes! Yes! Your true potential has been awake-" A Grimm tentacle pierced through him… right between his legs. He let out a whimper.

"I AM THE TRUE RUBY! NOT THAT GOODY TWO SHOED WHORE! AND YOU ARE NO LONGER THE KING OF DESPAIR!" She let out a smirk. "I am! I'm the queen of despair and you are a worthless bitch!"

With a snap of her fingers, said grimm tentacle exploded, which was enough for Dimentio to cry out in agony as he fell on his knees. Grimm Ruby grabbed him by the throat. "I have to thank you, Dimentio… you've awakened my true self. Hahahahaha! And now you will die like the little bitch that you are!"

"Cease this at once." A voice demanded. "Dimentio will continue to be useful. Put him down."

Grimm Ruby closed her eyes. "Yes, Lady Medusa…"

End BGM

With a painful snap of the fingers from Dimentio, they were back at the campground. Ghirahim looked at Grimm Ruby in awe, Medusa smirked, Dry Bowser was impressed… and Mercury was extremely freaked out.

"Ahahahaha… maybe I pushed her a little too much…" Dimentio said, summoning an ice pack. "Oooow…"

"Good, at least she's no longer a bump on a log." Dry Bowser said.

Emerald… wherever you are… GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE! Mercury thought.

"Let's train you up a little more, just so you're a little more stable." Medusa said.

Several days later, after Seryu's trial…

Grimm Ruby rose her arm up in the air, as Grimm versions of Piranha Plants, Koopas, Moblins and a few Grimm Lynels rose from the ground. "Hmhmhmhmhm~ It's almost time, my children… when we are ready… we'll destroy Ruby Rose once and for all."

Meanwhile…

"Mmph!" Ruby shuddered.

"You okay?" Pit asked.

"I dunno why… but I feel like I just had something breathe down my neck…" She said, hugging herself as Pit would take his scarf off and wrapped it around her neck.

"Better?"

"A little bit…" Ruby smiled as they walked off, however… Ruby had an uneasy feeling in her stomach. She didn't know what was going on, but instinct was telling her that something was wrong.

And it's coming faster than she'd like.

Ibuki: ...Oh shit... and here she was, eating popcorn and laughing at the merciless mocking!

Bully someone long enough... they'll bite back.
