"Who doesn't like dinosaurs?" Boomstick starts the episode with a question. "No one, 'cause they're awesome!"

"What on Remnant are those things?!" Weiss questions as an image of dinosaurs pop up onscreen.

"Whatever they are, they're definitely not anything Remnants ever seen!" Pyrrha answers.

"What did he call them? Dino-sores?" Blake asks.

"Woah! So cool!" Yang and Ruby both marvel at the beastly creatures while their dog, Zwei barks at the screen.

"I want one!" Nora says.

"Like Yoshi, Mario's happy-go-lucky steed." Wiz introduces one fighter.

"So CUUUUUTE!" Weiss gasps at the sight of Mario's dino companion.

"And Riptor, the Dino Warrior with a killer instinct."

"Not so cute…" Weiss rears back as she has a different reaction to Riptor.

"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."

"Yoshi is a cheerful and friendly dinosaur whose race happens to be among Bowser's most hated enemies. Why?" Wiz asks.

"'Cause they're so goddamn happy all the time!" Boomstick answers.

Team RWBY all turned to their leader who seemed to be in her own world as she suddenly has flower tucked into her hair and a smile on her face. Team JNPR did the same with Nora who was giggling happily.

"Yoshi is considered one of the fastest characters in the Mario universe and has a higher and stronger jump than Mario. Despite his cute and cheery demeanor. Yoshi's powerful enough to put down this goliath single handedly."

We see a giga-bowser advancing towards the screen.

"What is that thing?!" Jaune asks in astonishment.

"That little guy is able to take down that thing on his own?" Weiss asks.

"Just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover. This guy is powerful." Ruby says.

"He's able to keep up with experienced fighters like Solid Snake, Link, and even previous Death Battle champion, Samus Aran."

"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!"

We see gameplay of Yoshi with a baby Mario trapped in a bubble floating in the air, and crying.

"If it were me, someone would've found him in a dumpster after the first level!" Boomstick says.

This made everyone in the room gasp, apart from Nora who could only sadly look down, knowing what it was like to get left behind. Ren noticed this and wrapped an arm around her.

"Also, while young Yoshis are dumb enough to run off cliffs, they learn quickly over time, eventually driving go-karts, playing sports and surviving the greatest death trap ever created: Mario Party!" Boomstick continues.

"Yoshi has a large arsenal of eggs to use as lightweight projectiles and can even create a giant egg shell to use as an all-encompassing shield." Wiz adds.

"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…"

"NO!" Ruby, Weiss, Pyrrha and Yang all yelled at once.

"That's horrible!" Yang shouts.

"Shame on Boomstick!" Weiss says.

"Boomstick! That's a terrible idea!" Wiz calls out his co host.

"At least his co host has some digni-" Weiss is going to say, but gets stopped by Wiz' next line.

"Anytime you'd want to reload, you'd have to wait nine months."

"Nevermind…" Weiss says with a facepalm.

"Anyway, Yoshi's greatest asset is his stomach." Wiz further adds.

"Yeah, Yoshi's got a bad eating problem and devours everything in sight with his long stretchy tongue. He can swallow almost anything, even fire." Boomstick says.

"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, Yoshi… uh… ejects an egg spawned from the subject. The egg may have special properties from said object, or contain the victim within."

Both teams were amazed.

"That is so weird." Blake says.

"But so cool!" Ruby says. "I wonder, if he were to swallow Crescent Rose, would it come back out in the egg? If he swallowed me, would I get hatched from an egg?"

"Sounds like it. Either way, I don't think that's something I want to experience." Jaune further adds.

"Wait, is that how he makes eggs?! Are there any female Yoshis?"

"I don't think they're male or female. Yoshis may be asexual."

"That poor miserable creature."

"Oh ho ho. Yoshi got right stuff!" Yoshi says before we transition to his deadly challenger…

"What a wholesome little creature." Pyrrha is very pleased by the green dinosaur.

"I want to ride it!" Nora says.

"Not before me!" Ruby says. "Wait… how many people do you think it can carry?"

"Ahem… I think you're forgetting something…" Weiss interrupts them both. "As the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company… I reserve the right to ride first!"

Yang snickers silently while Ruby and Nora argue with Weiss.

"Riptor was genetically engineered by Ultratech to be the perfect combination of human intelligence and animal brutality." Wiz says, the backstory a far cry from Yoshi's.

"Well. That escalated quickly." Jaune says.

"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 explains.

"Riptor's only four years old and yet, already, he's a nearly unstoppable killing machine."

"That's one ass kicking toddler!"

"While I don't think we would have much issue with Riptor, I don't like the idea of having acid spat in my direction." Weiss says, with a shiver down her spine.

"He has reached a point where his human emotion and reasoning conflict with his predatory instincts, often confusing him to the blind point of rage and aggression." Wiz explains.

"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!" Boomstick adds.

"Do you think Earth has its own huntsmen to deal with dinosaurs the way that we deal with Grimm?" Ruby asked with a hint of excitement.

Writer's note: Yes, I am well aware that dinosaurs are extinct… but they don't know that.

"It's possible. If the dinosaur population got too massive, I imagine it would cause quite a problem for humanity." Pyrrha noted.

"With a limited amount of combat training, Riptor relies on his raptor instincts in a fight." Boomstick continues. "Raptors were pack hunters, preferring to plague their victims with stealth, speed, and secrecy, though they were no pushovers by themselves. On their own, they usually just rush their opponent and overpower them with ultra combos, and if 'Jurassic Park' has taught us anything, it's that raptors are clever sons of bitches!"

"Wow, Boomstick. I didn't know you knew so much about dinosaurs."

"Yeah, I always wanted me a pet raptor. I was gonna call him Barney after I found out what irony was."

"SUPREME VICTORY!" The Killer Instinct announcer yells before Riptor feasts on the remains of a former challenger.

Weiss has to hold down her own dinner after seeing Riptor's.

"At first glance, you'd think this fight is going to be one-sided, but we've seen Yoshi can hang with heavy hitters." Yang says. "I gotta place my bet on Yoshi."

"I hope Yoshi wins. He's too cute to die!" Ruby says.

Everyone agreed, hoping that Yoshi can take down the vicious Riptor.

"Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all." Wiz says.

"It's time for a DEATH BATTLE…!" There's a pause when Boomstick says with no transition. "Ahem."

Now we transition to see Yoshi happily dancing when Riptor emerges from a pipe and roars, scaring Yoshi, who begins cowering.

FIGHT!

Riptor begins by attacking Yoshi repeatedly and knocking him back.

"AWESOME COMBO!" A voice from someone we can't see shouts as Yoshi hits the ground.

"Oh no!" Weiss and Ruby both yelled, holding onto each other.

As Riptor advances, Yoshi throws three eggs at her, but these do very little. Yoshi then forces out a large egg and throws it at Riptor, causing a baby Yoshi to appear.

"Yoshi!" The baby says before Riptor attacks it brutally with it's claws before biting its head off.

"Oh dear Gods." Team RWBY are horrified by the Baby Yoshi being brutally eaten.

"Come on, Yoshi, you have to fight back!" Weiss shouts to the screen.

"He's trying, but he can't compete with Riptor's viciousness…" Ren says.

Yoshi screams and runs off but is stopped by a Koopa Troopa. He eats the Koopa Troopa and spits him at Riptor, who deflects it, but Yoshi protects himself with his egg shield. Riptor attacks the shield until it breaks and then proceeds to attack Yoshi some more, only for Yoshi to counter.

"C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!" The voice returns.

Everyone cheers Yoshi finally catching a break.

"Come on Yoshi!" Ruby cheers for the green dino.

Yoshi ground pounds Riptor, who spits acid at him, but Yoshi eats the acid and traps it in an egg. He then throws the egg at Riptor, covering her face with acid. Riptor roars in pain.

Everyone cringed at that.

"Acid right to the eyes!" Blake yells.

"No amount of eye drops is going to fix that." Yang jokes.

Riptor tries to attack Yoshi again, but Yoshi eats her and forces her out as a giant egg over a cliff. As the egg falls, Riptor manages to break free, but all too late. Riptor falls down into a pink car with flame patterns on it, with only her legs sticking out.

K.O.!

"Where'd that car come from?" Jaune asks.

"Who cares! Yoshi won!" Ruby shouts with excitement and hugs Weiss who gasps for air.

"NOOO, my car!" Boomstick shouts.

"Yoshi couldn't compete with Riptor's tough and brutal viciousness, but his varied arsenal ultimately produced a winning move." Wiz explains.

"Riptor's a friggin' beast in a fist fight, but while Yoshi looks all cute and stuff, he's actually a deadly devouring machine, like my ex-wife!"

"That raptor mind of Riptor's might be cunning and clever, but tooth and claw can only accomplish so much. Yoshi's bizarre digestive system rebounded the acid spit, blinding Riptor and leaving him vulnerable."

"Riptor may be smart, but Yoshi can drive cars, and show me another dinosaur who can do that!"

"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."

"Even if that conveniently placed cliff hadn't 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."

"What?"

"I'm clever!"

"I mean. I liked it." Yang says.

"Of course you did." Weiss says with a sigh.

"I kinda liked it too…" Ruby says twiddling her thumbs.

"...Okay, fine. It was clever." Weiss admits.

"The winner is Yoshi."

"Yeah!" Ruby, Nora and Yang all cheer at once.

"I knew he would win." Weiss says with crossed arms and a smirk, which earns her an eyebrow raise from Blake. "What?"
