Final part for Tyrian vs Adam!
The cabin was burning but neither serial killers cared. The teens they planned to kill were escaping but neither killed.
Adam was focused, glaring with pure hatred at the Scorpion Faunus who had manipulated him and taunted him in the Dream Realm. Tyrian knew he could not outrun the Bull Faunus and the only option for him was to fight.
"I see who you are." Oscar sang quietly as he watched the two slashers staring at one another. "You are my enemy, My Enemy. You are my enemy.
Tyrian chuckled eagerly to see the fight.
"Chop that pyscho to pieces!" Willow shouted.
"And then burn him to ash!" Kali said.
"Are they really rooting for one of these killers?" Weiss asked her friends.
"One of them is just cursed to be the way he is," Blake said, inwardly rooting for Adam as well. "The other is some psychopath dream demon who wants to be remembered." Weiss thought for a moment and nodded her head in agreement.
Adam swung first. His machete missed as Tyrian ducked under the blade and he elbowed the masked Bull Faunus in the back before Adam swung down, aiming for the Scorpion Faunus's tail. Only for the black appendage to move away and the blade struck the floor that was not burning and got stuck!
Seeing his masked opponent was left open, Tyrian struck! Kicking Adam in the groin!
Many of the male members of the Audience grimaced and instinctively crossed their legs. Adam frowned while Tyrian laughed at his counterpart's cleverness.
However, this proved to be more painful for the Springwood Slasher than the Crystal Lake Killer. Tyrian cried out in pain as his foot throbbed in pain. Adam grabbed him by his sweater and threw him across the cabin. The masked Bull Faunus then picked up the Scorpion Faunus and slammed him head first through the window. Tyrian shouted in pain as he was dragged through the window and wall of the cabin.
Ruby, Jaune and Coco were running to the dock at the lake when they paused and turned around to see Adam kicking the door open, dragging Tyrian throwing him into the air and flying through the air. "AAAAAAAHHHH!" he screamed before he crashed through the roof of the cabin next door.
Adam stormed out of the cabin while Jaune and Coco tried to urge Ruby that they needed to escape. Ruby however refused.
"That bastard killed my mother!" she exclaimed. "My dad didn't do it. He was just protecting me!" she glares in Tyrian's direction. "Tyrian took everything from us! I'm not leaving until I see him pay!"
Jaune and Coco glanced to one another, both deciding that there wasn't any chance to talk her out of this. Unfortunately, it ended up with Coco being killed by Adam when she tried to forcing Tyrian back to the Dream World by acting unafraid of the Springwood Slasher.
"Ooh!" both Tyrian's grimaced.
"COCO!" Ruby screamed as her friend was sent flying and collided with a tree. Jaune then saw gas tanks nearby and got an idea.
Coco shuddered a little at her counterpart's death. "Well, she tried." she muttered.
Tyrian charged Adam and stabbed him in the ribs. He pulled out his blades and stabbed him again and again. His tail curled up and stabbed Adam in the stomach with his stinger. Adam silently recoiled in pain before he pulled the stinger out of his gut. Tyrian growled as he ducked under Adam's machete and slashed him across the chest many times. He ducked under the blade again and he jumped up and kneed him in the chest before jumping up with his tail and slamming his elbow down on Adam's collar.
Adam swung his blade at the Springwood Slasher who dodged the machete and was stabbed in the chest. The Crystal Lake Killer grabbed onto his left arm and twisted it to a painful armlock. He then punched the burnt Scorpion Faunus and sent him flying down the hill and he landed on a pile of oxygen cannisters. His clawed fingers cut one of the valves and it flew through the air like a torpedo.
"Okay, I'm surprised how this version of Tyrian is holding his own." Cinder admitted with reluctant respect. "It's impressive for a dream demon."
"Add in the fact he's fighting a physically stronger opponent," Salem added.
The Springwood Slasher watched it fly before smiling devilishly and rising to his feet before walking behind a rack of oxygen tanks as Adam was walking towards him. "Man the torpedoes," he muttered under his breath before he slashed the valve of one cannister and it flew towards the Crystal Lake Slasher.
Adam simply sidestepped and dodged the flying cannister. Frowning, Tyrian cut open another and sent it flying to Adam who simply dodged it with ease as well followed by the next two. Tyrian sliced the valve of a fourth and fifth cannisters and this time, they collided with Adam's chest and sent him flying backwards until he dropped in the middle of a construction site.
Jaune and Ruby poured gallons of gasoline on the docks that led to the gas and propane tanks next to the cabin.
Adam rose to his feet, swaying a little. Tyrian was shown standing at the top of the construction site. "Hey, asshole!" he called down to the masked Bull Faunus. "Up here!"
Adam looked up and saw the Scorpion Faunus pushing a barrel of steel bars and they rained down on the Crystal Lake Slasher. One bar impaled Adam in the chest while another impaled him in the leg above the knee.
Tyrian cackled victoriously before he jumped to another part of the construction site as Adam tried to pull the steel bars out of him. Tyrian pushed down a large boiler that was hanging on a chain. The boiler swung down and back and forth like a wrecking ball, hitting Adam's shoulder while Tyrian pushed down a large box that got stuck in the ramp's bump.
"Oh give me a break!" both Tyrians grumbled. The one onscreen jumped onto the ramp and tried to push the box down before he was knocked off with the boiler ramming into the ramp and he fell off. His tail got stuck in the rope around the boiler.
Tyrian screamed as he dangled in the air before he saw that he was swinging to Adam who was no longer impaled. "OH NO! NOOO!" he screamed before Adam grabbed onto his arm and threw him to the ground.
Surprising for the Audience, some began to chuckle or snicker.
"I'm starting to think this went from a horror flick to a comedy or something," Qrow muttered to a chuckling Robyn.
Adam pulled Tyrian back to his feet but the Scorpion Faunus quickly began to stab him in the neck, collarbone and chest three times before the box slid down the ramp and collided with the dueling Faunus serial killers and sent them flying to the dock.
Tyrian tried to crawl away in pain as Adam slowly walked towards him. When the Springwood Slasher rose to his feet, he was slashed in the chest by the Crystal Lake Killer's machete followed by his chest and then his shoulder. Then his stomach before Tyrian caught the blade in his hands, ignoring the sprays of blood in his chest and stomach. Adam punched him in the face before slashing across his leg, forcing him to fall down onto his back.
Some of the Audience felt queasy at the sight of the blood but it wasn't as much as the Mortal Kombat Universe. Small mercies.
Both Adam and Tyrian were rooting for their counterparts, for at least for personal pride.
The Bull Faunus held his machete up before Tyrian's tail wrapped around his arm at the elbow and then the Scorpion Faunus slasher across his hand, slicing off his four fingers. While Adam looked at the stumps of his fingers in what could be described as annoyance, or "Oh, well that might be a problem." Tyrian quickly caught the machete.
Blake couldn't help but chuckle at Adam's expression. He looked so annoyed that his fingers were cut off. Adam heard her and huffed in amusement for the same reason.
Jaune and Ruby poured gasoline onto the docks after gathering all the propane and gas tanks in the tank. Ruby turned to her friend and exclaimed. "Blow them to Hell!"
"With what?!" Jaune exclaimed. Ruby's silver eyes widened before she ran over to the burning cabin.
Back with the slashers, Adam was on his belly while Tyrian slashed and hacked at his back with his own machete and claws. "Give it up!" Tyrian said in between hacks and slashes as Adam crawled. "Die! Just die!"
He rolled Adam onto his back and then stabbed two of his claws into the masked Bull Faunus's eyes. Blood ran down his mask like crimson tears before Tyrian stabbed his claws in the Crystal Lake's chest where his heart would be.
Ruby returned with two burning sticks in her hands. Tyrian swung down the machete only for Adam to block it despite being blind.
"TYRIAN!" Ruby shouted, getting the Springwood Slasher's attention. "Go to Hell!" she then tossed one torch onto the dock and another to the tanks. Both Ruby and Jaune raced to the lake and jumped into the water.
Tyrian's eyes widened as the flames ignited on the dock before Adam punched his fist into Tyrian's chest cavity. As Tyrian gasped, Adam grabbed onto his tail and ripped it off and then grabbed Tyrian's clawed hand and ripped the arm out of its socket. Tyrian gritted his teeth and stabbed Adam in the chest as dramatic music played.
Then the gas tanks exploded. Tyrian's eyes widened before both killers were covered in flames and were sent flying into the lake.
"It's so beautiful," Nora said in awe at the explosion.
Both Ruby and Jaune pulled themselves on the dock. They panted to catch their breath before their eyes widened in fear. The Audience see the boots of someone walking towards them holding the machete with a limp before they see that it was Tyrian Callows.
"I'm still alive!" Tyrian cried out in joy. "I win!"
"Ruby! Jaune!" the students and the mentioned boy and girl's family cried out in worry. Ruby and Jaune gulped in shared worry for their counterparts.
Tyrian glares at the two hatefully, especially to Ruby. "You-!" he growled before his own clawed hand stabbed through his chest. Adam stood behind the Springwood Slasher for a brief moment before falling back into the lake.
"No, you're not." Adam shook his head. "You just fell back to the water!" protested the Scorpion Faunus.
"And you have to deal with the daughter of your last victim," Adam retorted. "You have my sympathies." he shook his head. Everyone heard him and slowly smirked slightly.
Tyrian opened his mouth to say something before he looked back to the screen.
Tyrian gasped and fell to his knees, finally succumbing to pain. Ruby picked up the machete he dropped and stood before her mother's killer with a look of rage. Tyrian stared up at her in fear. "WELCOME TO MY WORLD, BITCH!" she shouted before she sliced his head off. Tyrian's headless body then fell into the lake.
"Justice for my mom and all those kids you killed in past," Ruby said under her breath but was still heard by the others and they nodded in agreement. Those who were parents were greatly satisfied at the child killer faced justice.
"Wow," Oscar muttered as he watched the screen with wide eyes. "That was badass. . ." Ruby heard that and beamed while blushing at the same time.
"For manipulating my counterpart and tormenting him in his dream," Adam added quietly.
Ruby walked to the edge and saw Adam sinking into the water. His right eye had regenerated and he was staring up at her. His rage was leaving him as he remembered that he was manipulated by Tyrian and was tormented earlier in the night and the girl had helped him, even now.
Ch Ch Ha Ha
Adam slowly nodded his head as if saying, "Thank you for helping me and bringing me home. Let me rest now and leave. For next time we meet, I will kill you." Then he sinks beneath the waves. Ruby nodded back, seeming to understand Adam's gaze before she tossed his machete into the lake as well.
This little exchange had both Ruby and Adam to glance to one another. Ruby smiled slightly while Adam had no expression but he felt as if the smile said that she would offer him help just like her counterpart. They looked away back to the screen without saying anything.
Later on the next day, the Audience see Adam Taurus emerging from the lake, fully regenerated and Tyrian's severed head in his grasp. As he walks onto shore, Tyrian's lips curl slightly and then he winks to the Audience. "Ah-HAHAHAHAHAH!" his laughter echoes as the screen goes black.
"Oh great," Sun muttered, slumping in his seat. "The cycle continues."
"Okay, you won the battle," Tyrian admitted. "But you won't win the war!"
Adam and everyone else just felt annoyed and exasperated at his antics.
"What happened next?" Qrow asked, mildly interested.
"The two of them, including a well known zombie killer battled again," Darth Anarchus said with a shrug.(1) "Well then, time to move on to the next one."
1) That was a nod to the Freddy vs Jason vs Ash Williams comic. I may or may not include that in this story.
