Demo: However, being the small one, Scout was always the last one to appear and the fight would be already over. But, where he lack strength, he had speed, so he began to ran, and ran, until not only was he the first one to appear, but the one finishing the fights.

Ed: However, he can do all of this, at the cost of wearing little armor.
-Weakness
-Lack of defense armor
-Extremely cocky, reckless, arrogant, impatient and hyper
Demo: Without armor, Scout is just a target practice waiting to be shot by a gun or something.

-Weapons and Skills
-Shotgun boots
-Prosthetic legs
-Wind Dust
-Pinpoint accuracy
-Analytical Mind
-Aura
Ed: Mercury is an excellent fighter and skilled in close-quarter combat using fighting styles similar to Taekwondo and Break Dancing, although he prefers to use kicks in battle, he uses his hands to grab his opponent's, redirect or block attacks.
Demo: Silver boy can use analytical mind, able to deduce a person's level of skill by fighting them, he show this when he fought Pyrrha to understand her semblance, and when he fought Yang in the Vytal Festival. Speaking of which, he's a great actor, able to trick others into his hands. Like when he managed to blame Yang on 'supposedly' injuring him.
Ed: And like everyone else in RWBY, Mercury has aura; a manifestation of one's soul, and grants the user a wide range of abilities, each ability grants differ strengths to person and special abilities call semblance.
Demo: However, we still don't know about Mercury's semblance, so we aren't covering that shit. I just hope is something like a Susanoo!"
Ed: Consider that his voice in Volume 3 was Yuri Lowenthal, can't say is not a possibility. Anyway, Aura can be used to block deadly blows and heal minor wounds.
Demo: Black's main weapons are shotgun boots, they work similar to Yang's Ember Celica, but he prefers kicks over punches. This babies are capable of firing explosives rounds every time he kicks for a long range attack and fires them when he performs a kick-up or a "Thomas Flair" and "Airflares."
Ed: For those poor brains of yours, a "Thomas Flairs" is an acrobatic move in which the user alternates balancing the torso between either arm while swinging the legs beneath them in continuous circles and a "Airflares" is an acrobatic maneuver in which the user rotates their torso around the vertical axis of their body while traveling in a circular path along a plane in parallel with the floor.
Demo: Layman's term, Sanji's Party Table Course, but spinning in one leg while shooting from his boot. With this, Mercury can fire explosive rounds from his greaves while performing traditional kicks like a frontal and side kick. He can control then with the used of Dust, a material that grants nature powers, and have them around him for devastating attacks for his opponents. He can also use them to propel himself in the air. Cool right? But to do this, Mercury has….ROBOTIC LEGS!
Ed: Right, apparently on the battle against his father, Mercury's leg were badly damaged from his thigh to feet. With all this, Mercury accomplish a lot of impressive feats.
-Feats
-Kill his father, Marcus Black
-Prosthetic legs are super though
-Took on Coco Adel and Yatsuhashi, and defeat Yatsuhashi by himself.
-Nearly defeat Yang Xiao Long
-Help in taking away Amber's power
-With his analytical mind, intercepted Ruby's semblance
-Fast enough to avoid Coco Adel's minigun
Demo: After receiving this legs, they show that they super strong, they can withstand point blank blast of fire, storms of frozen leaf from Amber's power, point-blank shots from Yang's Ember Celica and stop a powerful sword swing from Yatsuhashi.
Ed: He managed to take on both Coco Adel and Yatsuhashi alone, and defeat the big guy, all by himself. And remember, this two are older than him. He help in taking away Amber's maiden power. And he managed to stop Ruby's speed semblance with a well place kick, which a reminder that Ruby can run at 150 miles per hour, and able to dodge Coco's miniguns bullets.
Demo: He nearly defeated Yang in a fight, but got his ass-whopped when Yang went Super-Saiyan, and not only was satisfying, but show us that Mercury is not invincible.
-Weakness
-Aura has limit
-Can be caught off guard
Ed: Mercury's aura has a limit to what much damaged it can sustain before it runs out and the next blow will be fatal, and he can be caught-off guard as it show the fight against Yang when she came around with her semblance.
Demo: Even so, Mercury has proven to be Cinder's greatest asset in both fighting and analyzing. Despite being a rip off from Sanji's kicking technique and Quicksilver's hair and mind!
Mercury: "You're an inspiration to every punk with a gun and a ski mask."
Demo: At least I'm an inspiration, unlike you!
Ed: Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all!
Demo: Will Scout outrun the Silver Assassin, or will Mercury prove to much for the Boston Basher? Well, get ready, for a Death Battle!
Vytal Tournament: Arena
In a floating coliseum, the crowd cheers throughout all of the stadium, the vytal festival finals were about to begin. Through the entire day, combatants have fought to win the price; a rare metal call 'Australium'. This metal is strong to make deadly weapons.
The crowd cheer as the announcer spoke up.
Announcer: "Hello everybody~!"
The crowd howl out at his voice.
Announcer (with excitement): "I know, I know! After so much, we are finally here; the final battle of the Vytal Tournament! Without further ado, let's start the final match!"
The man point his finger at his left side.
Announcer: "In the left corner, we got the silver leg hunter from Haven! He has won his round with feet and thinking! He smugly went here with sheer strength and ability! Let's give a round of applause to Mercury Black!
The crowd cheer as a young man with silver hair, white skin, eyes, a slate gray and black two-tone partial-zip jacket that covers his upper body and black pants, walks into the arena.
The announcer point at his right.
Announcer: "And in the right corner, he fast, he talks, he is a complete jackass, but he proved to be a force to be reckon with! Let's welcome the man known as Scout!
The crowd cheer as a skinny man wearing a red shirt, gray pants, an ear piece and hat. He had a small bag on his back. He kept walking while flexing his tiny muscles at the crowd. Mercury scoff out at his opponent.
Mercury: "Seriously? I'm fighting this joker?"
Scout hear that and answers back with his own thrash-talk.
Scout: "Ha! And? Is not like you're one to talk."
Mercury: "Looks can be deceiving baby-face." (putting his battle pose.)
Scout: "Pfff, if I have a dime every time I hear that one." (taking out his Scattershot Gun.)
The TV on top of them show a roulette that began to spin,
Announcer: "Now then, let us spin the type of match will have!" the roulette began to slow down. "Its started to stop folk!" (the roulette finally stop and everyone gasped in shock.) "Unbelievable! Ladies and Gentlemen!"
The arrow stop right below the words 'Death Battle'. Suddenly, the arena change form, from a simple pokemon battle ground, to an underground facility with working machinery from years back.
Scout (whistling out) "Nice, I feel myself at home."
He felt something behind him and quickly barrel roll away from several explosion rounds.
Mercury: "Good to know because you're in my territory as well."
Mercury dodge a bullet shot.
Scout: "Real smooth asshole; tell you what, how about you shoot me again, and I'll welcome you to a world of pain."
Scout points at him with his gun.
Mercury: "Funny," (says with a smug smile and a dark tone.) "I was about to say the same thing."
3!
2!
1!
Let's see you talk your way out of this one!
FIGHT!
Scout: "Here!"
The TF2 runner commence the attack by pulling the trigger of his gun. Mercury dodge the bullets coming at him by back flipping before jumping high and fire explosive rounds at Scout who, began to run away from them as they miss. Mercury continue to shoot at him and Scout retaliate by shooting back at him while running around him. The silver assassin landed on the ground and charge at Scout, who began to shoot him, but Black dodge them, he reached the Boston Boy and kick his Scattergun out of his hands.
Mercury place a well kick right on the chest of the mercenary, sending him flying backward. Scout jump back to his feet and took out his baseball bat.
Mercury: "What's this? You know that this isn't a game right?"
Mercury asked before sending a kick, only for Scout to stop it with his bat.
Scout: "Heh, what are you, a Soldier?"
Mercury began to send kicks to him. The mercenary began to counter all the leg attacks the kick boxer throw him. After the ninth kick, Black managed to land a blow to the side of Scout, follow by a kick to the chest that sending him backward. He then, send several explosive rounds at the hit-runner, but at the last moment, the mercenary use his double jump to evade the explosive attacks. The silver hunter was surprised to what he just witnessed.
Mercury: ('What the? Did he just jump twice in mid air?')
Scout roll in the ground and took out his pistol out and began to shoot him at him while running. However, Mercury quickly sidesteps dodging each bullet that Scout fired at him. Once they were at close range, Black throw a kick at his hand, throwing away his pistol. He quickly threw another kick. However, Scout sidestepped and dodged it, however, Mercury spun around deliver a kick to the back, but Scout sense it coming and went all fours before moving away from a dropping leg that broke the floor.
Scout: "Woah! Those are some strong legs buddy!"
Mercury: "What can I say? I'm full of surprises."
Mercury immediately began to throw kick at Scout who dodge them before throwing his own punches, only for the silver assassin use his arms to block them and land a kick with an explosive that send the mercenary crashing into his back. The silver assassin use his boot guns to propel into the air, float on top of the mercenary and start to dive kick down in with full speed.
At the last second, Scout moved out of the way as Mercury's leg breaks the floor. The force sent Scout flying upward into the air. Mercury boots himself into the air and went to kick Scout in the stomach, only for the mercenary to dodge it at the last second before swinging his bat at the kick boxer's stomach, sending him into the ground back.
Mercury: ('Damn, that bat is really something. I need to take that away from him.')
Scout land next to his pistol and picks it up. He takes out several butcher knives and began to throw them at Mercury who stood up and notice them flying at him. He dodged each knife by performing multiple flips and when Scout threw the one more at him just as it was about to hit, Mercury caught it before it could even hit him.
Scout (stunned): "Wow."
Mercury proceed to throw the knife he caught into the air before catching it again.
Mercury (smirking): A Knife? Really? That's the best you-"
*BONK*
Mercury stop when a baseball hit him on the face.
Scout: "Think fast chuckle head!"
The mercenary was fast on him and hit him with his bat on both sides of his body, dazing him.
Scout: "And to finish off!"
The mercenary put a batter stand before hitting Mercury with a swing that sending him into the air.
Scout: "And his out of the park!"
Scout quickly began to run at the direction he sent the hunter. Meanwhile, Mercury crashes against some machinery, one of them hitting his left leg hard.
Mercury: "Ah! My leg!"
The silver haired began to hold his left leg in pain as he tries to reduce the pain. Scout reach him up and notice that he was badly injured in the leg. He slowly walks up to him as he points his pistol at him.
Scout: "All right kid, fun's over."
Scout was about to pull the trigger when Black began to chuckle darkly before looking up at him with a rather dark expression.
Mercury: "Your right….Fun's over."
Mercury quickly did a kick up and fired an explosive round from his greaves hitting Scout in the chest and knocking him back, making him loose grip on his pistol. The red mercenary fell onto his back a couple of feet away from Mercury.
Scout: "Ahh! It burns!"
The hit runner had his red shirt rip with black marks as blood drips out from his chest. He stood up with pain as he looks in anger at Mercury while been slightly daze.
Scout: "Dirty trick asshole!"
Scout didn't have time as Mercury was already in front of him with a kick to the stomach.
Mercury: "Hey, what can I say, I never play fair."
Mercury performs a bicycle kick and delivering multiple kicks to his chest before knocking his titanium bat away from his hands.
Mercury (darkly): "You won't be needing this anymore."
Mercury began to kick Scout with several kick, finishing with an upward kick that send Scout flying into crates.
Mercury: "Time to finish this."
The silver assassin commenced to perform the "Thomas Flair" firing multiple explosives rounds into the air and they began circling around him, he quickly switched to an "Airflair" and continued firing more explosives rounds into the air only for them to circle around him as well.
The red mercenary managed to stand up on his feet.
Scout: "Gah, I'm feeling this one in the morning….(looks up and see the flying explosive rounds) Huh?"
He felt something on his feet, looking down, he saw a piece of crate that he broke during his crash, it had a danger sign. Scout looks around him and saw that he was around several crates with 'danger signs' with bombs images on them.
His eyes widened as he looks at Mercury who smiles darkly as he launches all of them at him.
Scout: "Ah come! Give me a break! I'm not falling for this again!"
He took out his Force-A-Nature, jump forward and press the trigger of it, causing him to shoot forward away from where the rounds will hit….
But, he was still on the explosions range.
BOOOOOM!
The explosion sent Scout crashing into a wall that was next to a bigger machine. There were several crack sounds as the Boston boy slumps into the ground. He began to use all his strength to stand up. He noticed that his titanium bat was at his range. He was about to reach it, another explosive round hit him, sending him back into the wall.
He began to use the wall to stand up as Mercury in front of him with his leg pointing at his back head.
Mercury: "Looks like you were nothing more than talk."
The mercenary's hat cover his eyes as he had his back against him while a hand supports him in the wall. Mercury immediately shoot another round at him, time went slowly as the round got close to the mercenary, who make a small smirk on his face as his hand went on his back, taking a red and yellow object out.
The explosive round hit the red Boston boy, smoke coming out as the mercenary's cap flow through the air and a red and yellow can roll out from the floor. Mercury smirks as he turns around to leave while dusting off his cloth.
Mercury: "Even Torchwick could do a better fight than-"
*Bang*
Mercury was suddenly attacked from behind with a hard swing that was enough to break a spine in half. He stagger forward and look back, he was surprised to see the red mercenary, but he was blurry and holding his bat in hand. Scout give him a cocky smile.
Scout: "You aren't the only that plays unfair!"
The mercenary ran at him and swung his bat, Mercury blocks the hit with his hand while sliding backward. When he saw Scout running at him, he waited until he was close and swung his leg at his face…
…..However, his leg simply went past through him.
Before he could do anything, he was hit in the heads crown hard, follow by several bat's swings to the side, the last one hitting him on the face making him go down to the floor as a gray light began to fade away from his body. Before he could place a hand on the floor, the Boston Basher show him why he is called that.
Scout: "Bonk!"
He hit the hunter with his bat on the stomach and arms, making Black moan in pain. And he did it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and one more time.
Mercury: "Koff!"
Mercury couldn't handle it anymore as the pain in his stomach gave out and blood began to come out of his mouth. At the same time, Scout's 'Bonk!' ability run up into a wall, jump on it and then jump off it, giving a great height in the air. Mercury eyes look up at him, and before he could do anything-
*Bang!*Crack!*
Scout swung his bat hard on the hunter's head, breaking his skull and brain. Mercury's body went limp as Scout breaths heavily as he observes the body of the deadly assassin.
Scout (breathing heavily): "Now that's a skull fracture for sure!"
He then picks up his Force-A-Nature and aim it at the head of the assassin before shooting it, leaving a giant hole in it.
Scout: "For double-checking."
He says as the arena began to fade away, returning him back to the arena, he saw several jaws in the floor from the audience, even the announcer was in shock. They were like that for a few minutes before they began to cheer and applaud to him.
Announcer: "W-What a spectacular battle!"
Scout smirks out as he began to swing around his bat around with talent.
Scout: "I make this look too easy!"
K.O!
Demo: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
Ed: I'm….surprised about this... (paper being handed to him)... This….actually makes senses….
Demo: Let me see! (takes the paper from Ed's hand and reads it)... Holy Shit….
Ed: Ehem! Well, let's explain: both Scout and Mercury are fast and tough, but Mercury surpasses Scout in fighting and durability, his analytic thinking could easily figure out Scout run-and-hit tactic and running head into danger. Mercury stopping Ruby on her semblance show that his instinct are sharp, Ruby speed is 150 mph and Scout runs 17 mph, which means that Mercury could react at least 11 times faster than an average human, meaning that Mercury could dodge anything Scout threw at him. He managed to hold on against both Coco and Yatsuhashi alone without Emerald and neither of them managed to land a hit on Black.
Demo: However, there's one thing that change everything; surprise attacks. Scout hidden arsenal managed to give him the ledge he needed. On the fight in the Vytal Festival, when Yang activate her semblance, she ran at Mercury with her normal speed and he didn't dodge it, he blocked it and when he fought back, Yang only act with her instinct and beat the living crap out of him! Scout is almost like Yang; hit first, question later.
Ed: And more importantly, Mercury feats pales in comparison with Scout's. Sure, battling the member of Team CFVY without help and not letting them hit him is outstanding, but Scout survive an explosion from three rockets at once, without aura. Also, Mercury was prepared beforehand to battle any possible opponents, and here in Death Battle, we don't let prep time in. Scout only needed one moment to catch Mercury off-guard and it was all over.
Demo: …..Well, looks Scout just 'Bang' Mercury out of the park!
Ed: The winner is The Scout
Next time on Death Battle!
