My twenty eighth for episode 28

Ryu Hayabusa belongs to Techmo

Strider Hiryu belongs to Capcom

Death Battle belongs to Screwattack

RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum (R.I.P)

Note: Last episode and back to Samurai Jack after this. After seeing the recent episode of RWBY, I decided to relate the maidens power with Ryu's supernatural like power of his Ninpo. GET READY FOR SAMURAI JACK.

Extra Note: Yes. I heard Samurai Jack is coming back. Once I heard the news, my childhood has returned. I FEEL SO HAPPY. I will plan to how this will work for RWBY so wait and see.
______________________________
RWBY prepares for one last episode for tonight. Ruby is actually really excited for this one since it's about ninjas. When it comes to ninjas; they carry awesome weapons and that is what Ruby is counting on. Blake, on the other hand, is slightly blushing since she remembers that she secretly reads her Ninjas of Love book.

"One more for tonight." Weiss announced as everyone gets ready for the final episode for tonight.

(Cues Invader - Jim Johnston)

The first thing RWBY sees, of all things that's badass, is a ninja, standing there with the moon shining brightly behind him.

Wiz: Ninjitsu, Originally created by farmers to kill their oppressive samurai lords, the ninja has become one of the deadliest killers in history.

In Remnant, there have been ninjas in the past that colonized in many parts of Remnant hundreds of years ago along with many other warriors with different cultures. Today, there are some hunters and huntresses descended from ninjas so it's not uncommon that they are popular. Blake knows more about ninjas then her own teammates and decides to inform them about it. Since Ruby and Yang know a little bit about ninjas, from the games they play at least, know some parts. Weiss doesn't know a single thing about them besides knowing how they fight and wield so Blake will step in for her.

Boomstick: Like Ryu Hayabusa, the ultimate Dragon Ninja.

Blake blushed at seeing this ninja.

Wiz: And Strider Hiryu, the high-tech mercenary.

Ruby squealed in delight of this one.

Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.

The first combatant is a young man in his early 20's with a muscular build at peak physical condition. As a ninja, his handsome face is concealed by his attire and costumes which range from simple ninja garbs to modern, skin-tight leather suits that hug his skin and show off his impressive muscles. Blake was blushing at the ninja's muscular build and hypnotic looking eyes that are the only visible trait on his face.

Blake was blushing since this ninja resembles the protagonist in her Ninjas of Love book. The protagonist, in the book, is a young man, who's a ninja, protecting his homeland from thieves, tyrants and even demons while making love to several women throughout his adventures and also finding the true love of a woman he loves at heart. It's a very smutty book; Blake even has been having "private" moments to herself when she's alone in the dorm room and when she had a long day of training and needs to "relieve" herself so Blake tries her best to hide it from RWY or else it will never end for her being constantly teased by Yang that Blake reads such erotic stories like that..... but it's still an awesome story to read besides the "sensual" parts.

(Cues Ninja Gaiden (NES) - Main Theme (Orchestral))

Ryu Hayabusa
______________________________
BACKGROUND

Height: 179 cm / 5'10"

Weight: 78 kg / 172 lbs

Age: 25

AKA Dragon Ninja & Master Ninja

Occupation: Antique shop owner

Animal spirit: Peregrine Falcon

Hobbies: Mountain climbing, fishing, eating sushi (Blake loves that), kicking ass (Yang approves)
______________________________
Wiz: His name literally meaning Dragon Falcon.....

In Yang's case, her name, Yang Xiao Long, means "Little Light Dragon" or "Small Dragon of the Sunshine."

Wiz: ...Ryu Hayabusa was born into the Dragon lineage legacy and trained in the ways of the ninja from the moment he could crawl.

RWBY was actually surprised a bit. Most hunters and huntresses begin training at least around 12 to 14 which Ruby began training around that age from Uncle Qrow. But training the moment Ryu could crawl impressed RWBY a lot. Some ninja descendants also do that but mostly wait until the children reach pre-teen.

"Why would some people train their babies at that age?" Ruby asked in concern.

"It's part of their culture and they believe training at an early age helps you reach psychical peak form." Blake answered.

"Oh." RWY answered. That does sound awesome yet a little rough for kids to train that early.

Boomstick: How are you supposed to keep a baby in their crib when they can freakin' back flip out of it?

RWBY all giggled at that. They saw how cute and awesome a ninja baby was performing, such as karate chopping a block made of legos and jumping in the air with grace.

(Cues The Night of Lukifell - Ninja Gaiden)

Wiz: A prodigy in the art of combat, Ryu far exceeded his clans expectations. When he turned 18, donned the traditional blue garb, then single-handedly defeated both the criminal cult of Nostradomis and the army of emperor Garuda.

RWBY was impressed; Ryu's training and exceeding his clans expectations almost sounds like entering an academy and graduating from it.

Now time for weapons.
______________________________
TRUE DRAGON SWORD

Hayabusa Clan heirloom

Carved from a dragon fang (Which sounds awesome to RWBY)

Eye of the Dragon unleashes sword's full power

Divine Blade

Practically indestructible

Weak-willed cannot wield it

True power is said to upset the balance of a peaceful world
______________________________
The one weapon introduced is a katana. Ruby was drooling at the beautiful looking blade. It gets better.

Boomstick: And that was before his father gave him the Dragon sword; a single-edged katana forged from the fang of a dragon, which, when combined with the Eye of the Dragon, becomes a divine blade of ultimate power.

Ruby was shaking in excitement she couldn't contain and had really bright stars in her eyes of seeing such a awesome sword.

"Carved from the fang of the dragon.... that really is divine." Blake said in awe. She read many stories (And Ninja's of love also has a similar katana like that) of weapons made from parts of creatures, including dragons. Weiss was also impressed.

Wiz: It also has a serious security system. If someone, other than a strong-willed Hayabusa attempts to wield it, the True Dragon sword will feed on and eventually devour their soul.

That was an interesting and unexpected kind of ability found in a weapon; A weapon that feeds on souls sounds a little creepy when thinking about it too much.

"Sounds like they stepped up their game to protect such a divine and powerful weapon." Weiss said which everyone agreed.

Boomstick: I need that kinda tech for my car. Teach those damn caddy-smashing raptors a lesson.

RWBY laughed as they see Riptor falling to his death and onto Boomstick's car. Ruby even wanted Crescent Rose to have that kind of defense mechanism, despite how creepy it sounds.

(Cues Ninja Gaiden - Main Theme)

Wiz: In addition, Ryu wields an enormous arsenal of various weaponry.

RWBY, especially Ruby, is now introduced to all the weapons Ryu will carry into battle.

Bare Fists (Yang's favorite)
______________________________
Wiz: Including the Lunar Staff, Falcon's Talons, A Kusarigama, which is basically a chain sickle. Numerous types of shurikens, bombs, bows, etc. etc. And the Eclipse Scythe...

Ruby eyed the awesome looking scythe like a child in a candy store and almost fainted by the sheer awesomeness of its appearance. In the story, the protagonist also carried a huge assortment of weaponry with him to fight evil.

"So awesome." Ruby said.

Wiz: A weapon forged by Werewolves and quenched in the blood of livinig human beings.

Despite how disturbing that sounds, Ruby squealed even more at such an awesome weapon that forged by werewolves and quenched in blood.

Wiz: Because people have to do things the hard way.

Boomstick: Ahem... the badass way, Wiz.

Yang smirks in agreement. So does Ruby.

"So many weapons he wields." Weiss said with impression. Weiss favored a few of them while Blake likes the Kusarigama. Yang likes his bare fists and Ruby.... take a guess which one she likes the most.

"I'm starting to love this ninja." Yang replied.

"Me too!" Ruby agrees.

"So do I." Blake whispered quietly with a blush but still doesn't want Yang to notice.

Boomstick: And if that wasn't enough, He's also a magician! But, instead of pulling rabbits out of a hat, it's a fire dragon!

Ryu does something really awesome; He summons a giant dragon made of fire and it attacks the enemy. RWBY was even surprised and impressed by this technique.

Wiz: Uh... no. Though, that would make one impressive party trick.

"Yes!" Ruby agrees. She would so wanna see a magic party trick like that before her very eyes. Even Weiss, Blake and Yang agree to that as well. The protagonist also did that against the emperor demon who tried to end the world.

NINPO (SIMILAR TO AURA AND/OR SEMBLANCE)

Art of the Inferno

Art of the Fire Wheels

Doppleganger (Similar to Flint's semblance)

Blink [Teleport] (Similar to Neo's teleporting)

Art of Divine Life

Art of Substitution

Art of the Piercing Void

Hayabusa Sky Torn Blast (Most awesome move to RWBY)
______________________________
Wiz: Ryu channels the energies of his unusually strong spirit for mystical techniques called Ninpo.

"Ninpo?" Ruby said.

"Like aura.... or semblance?" Weiss asked?

"Sort of." Blake answers. "Though, I never heard of Ninpo before but It sounds similar to the martial arts the Ninjas used perform in Remnant at least. It is said to be a sub-variant of aura but there are no current records of them today so it may be a forgotten aura. It has been stated some descendants of ninjas in some academies can actually unlock and achieve more abilities and powers than a normal huntsman or huntress. Or at least that's what the story books I've read said."

"So.... not possible for real?" Yang asked.

"Likely not." Blake answered. RWBY decided to continue the show.

Boomstick: Well, this Ninpo-gician can summon fireballs, create a fighting shadow of himself, blow shit up with his own version of the Torn Sky Blast, and he even seems to teleport short distance- *Ryu shapeshifts into a Falcon* WHAT THE FUCK DID HE JUST TURN INTO A BIRD?!

Boomstick ain't joking. RWBY just watched Ryu turn into a Falcon and flew off and they even chuckled at Boomstick's reaction. Aside from that, Weiss and Blake were highly interested and impressed with all of his Ninpo techniques that sound fitting for aura and semblance related techniques. Ruby even went star-eyed at the Torn Sky Blast.

Wiz: Ryu's spirit is so unnaturally strong, he can manipulate that spiritual energy to perform supernatural feats, like the "bird" thing, and surviving fatal wounds. Granted, this pseudo-healing factor requires a lot of time, rest, and meditation to pull off.

"That almost sounds like the power of the maidens." Ruby said as she remembered Yang reading her that book. The maidens are four women from a fairy tail who are said to have mystical powers that are even supernatural compared to aura and semblance, making it more similar to Ryu's Ninpo. (If you want to know more about the Maidens, check out Volume 3 chapter 6)

"So do I." Weiss also said.

"I've read it also." Blake answered.

"Read it to Ruby." Yang answered. RWBY is quite surprised that so many things from another dimension are so similar to Remnant and it's culture. This is the most interesting thing RWBY has ever encountered. On with the episode.

They see Ryu falling from the sky, grabs an armed goon... then lands while stabbing him and cutting him in half. RWBY was caught off guard and even felt slightly sick at the blood and gore.

(Cues Dead or Alive 2 - The Shooted)

Boomstick: Ryu is fast enough to deflect automatic fire, tough enough to land a 300 meter drop...

RWBY was most impressed with Ryu's speed and endurance that put him on par with very skilled and powerful huntsman and huntresses. He even looks worthy of being a huntsman in Remnant.

Boomstick: ...and has developed a ninja sense, which anticipates danger, like when a chick asks if she looks fat in a new outfit.

That did bring a few laughs for Yang and Ruby (Yang will later regret it when Neon Katt tells her she's "Top-heavy"), Blake chuckled as well while her self conscious is worried of gaining weight and Weiss face palmed by Boomstick's example of Ryu's "Ninja Sense".

Wiz: And, despite mastering the ninja art of stealth, he tends to just rush in sword swinging. Every. Single. Time.

"So much for being a ninja." Blake said. Blake may be a huntress but she has adopted some elements from ninjas. Combined with her Ninjas of Love book, she has plenty of knowledge about the culture of ninjas. That's why she likes to use stealth a lot; to blend in the shadows and attack by surprise. Yang... she's just all over the place and swinging her fists and using her semblance to earn the win so she approves of Ryu's jumping into the fray. Ruby can be like that too but she has gotten better and thinks more clearly.

Boomstick: Heh hey. Whatever works Wiz.

"Yeah! Who needs to hide when you can already kick butt?!" Yang boasts and pounds her fists together.

"The ones who are outmatched." Blake answered. "It's best to form a plan if you have superior opponents."

"What do I do? Punch it! It that doesn't work.... PUNCH IT MORE!" Yang said. Weiss face palmed at Yang's thick headed way of fighting.

FEATS

Won the 2nd DOA (Dead or Alive) tournament

Survived the grip of Murder

Lands 300 meter drops regularly (Yang approves)

Has slain dragons & demons (much to RWBY's awe as they slay Grimm)

Defeated Dark Dragon, Doku, Tengu, Jaquio & the Goddess
______________________________
Boomstick: He's destroyed entire armies of fiends and demons, killed the Dark Dragon... twice, somehow, won the second Dead or Alive tournament, avenged his father's death, and, finally, annihilated the devil himself...

"Wow. He's a badass, without a doubt." Yang admitted. Ruby was star-eyed all again at those feats and Weiss even respected Ryu accomplishing so much, and Blake was blushing again.

Boomstick: ... all to get himself laid.

Blake suddenly felt slightly heartbroken that Ryu is with another girl. But he's a fictional character so she can think about Ryu and he's still hot to her.

Yang seems to take notice of Blake liking Ryu so she waits for the right moment.

Ryu: Such selfish arrogance.... I cannot allow this!

With all said and done for his bio, RWBY really liked Ryu Hayabusa for being a badass and many of his weapons and abilities. Ruby loves every single weapon at his disposal and especially the eclipse scythe. Weiss and Blake seem interested in Ryu's Ninpo and abilities that sound much like rare types of semblances and aura that takes years to master. Yang simply likes how awesome he is at kicking ass and doing everything cool including sword swinging and not doing the "boring" stealth stuff.

Yang now has her chance.

"So.... how do you see the Ninja guy in your perspective? Yang asked with a slight smirk.

Blake feels suspicious but answers anyway.

"Well.... Ryu is a ninja who I consider a perfectly capable fighter along with those impressive techniques and Ninpo movesets. I actually say he-

"You have a crush on him." Yang answered with a big grin on her face. Yang knows Blake for a long time since they've became partners so she decides to poke Blake a little bit.

Blake blushes as her face contorts to annoyance and anger but she knows she's caught red handed.

"NO! I Don't! He's just admirable and he even reminds me of many ninja protagonists from the stories I've read! There's a difference!" She retorted in denial. Thankfully she was being specific without mentioning the smutty Ninjas of Love novel.

"You love Ninja Boy!" Yang hollered.

Ruby and Weiss all giggled while Blake turned even more red.

"I noticed the way you stare at him while turning red. Don't deny it." Yang continued.

Blake tried to make another denial but she knows she's cornered and there's no way out of this. Why does Yang have to be so annoying?

"Also, I also know why you love ninjas so much~.

Blake went pale.

"When you were out training, I stumbled upon your novel under your mattress when I wanted to sleep on your bed and read it and I can see why you love ninjas so much." She teased even more.

Blake was about to say something.

"And before you freak out, I totally respect your interests because I have my own as well. Even Weiss and Ruby accept you as that." Yang continued. Ruby and Weiss smiled and made sure they won't consider Blake different and still consider her their teammate and friend. Blake felt relieved.

"But you still gotta tell me if you "like" him~." Yang teased one more time.

"Fine. I admit it. He's cute. But don't go telling on anyone else. It stays between you and me.
Blake warned.

"Got it." Yang answered but that grin is still there.

"You too, Weiss and Ruby." Blake warned to the other too who actually nodded.

"You also like his tight butt~" Yang joked which she got a slightly painful punch in the arm by Blake as a response.

On with the next combatant.

The next combatant is also a male ninja with spiky brown hair. He wears a purplish-blue garb with some futuristic tech as accessories, a red scarf that covers his lower face and also acts like a red cape. He looks like some kind of ninja from the future. What made his intro awesome was that he's riding a cool looking hang glider and lands into the battlefield while looking awesome.

Strider Hiryu
______________________________
BACKGROUND

Height: 179 cm / 5'10"

Weight: 85 kg / 187 lbs

Age: 2,021 years

Rank: Special-A Class Strider

Occupation: Retired

Superhuman senses

Hobbies: Peace, seclusion, other boring stuff
______________________________
(Cues Strider - Stage 1)

Wiz: His name, literally meaning Flying Dragon, Hiryu was orphaned at a very young age.

That made RWBY felt remorse, especially Yang.

"Another orphan." Weiss said in slight sympathy.

"How many more combatants are gonna be mentioned in this show as orphans?" Ruby said in slight sadness.

"Let's hope no more." Blake said.

"Yeah...." Yang answered.

Wiz: He was put through the intense Strider program, a training school for high-tech, ninja mercenaries.

"That sounds just like Beacon." Weiss said.

"I wanna go to that place!" Ruby shouted in glee.

Boomstick: It's so hard to find a good cyber ninja school these days.

(Cues Strider Hiryu Theme - Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3)

Wiz: Seems whoever put him there made the right choice. Hiryu far exceeded his teachers expectations and soon became the youngest student in the organization's history to reach the highest rank of Special-A class Strider.

RWBY felt interested to know since Atlas ranks their huntsman and huntresses in their academies.

Boomstick: What does that mean? Well, even a C-class Strider has the strength and skill of a whole team of special forces.

That really impressed RWBY. There are ranks in the military of Remnant that also have similar ranking from lowest to highest. Atlas has already been making progress with their military based huntsman who are now have special rankings, unlike normal academies, such as Beacon, who don't use ranking. Winter Schnee, Weiss' sister, is among one of, if not the, highest of them all in Atlas.

Boomstick: So just imagine what an A-class Strider can do. Oh wait! You don't have to because we're here to tell you about it!

"Yeah!" Ruby and Yang cheered in unison.

Wiz: After reaching this remarkable rank, Hiryu was sent on a mission to kill a rogue Strider, who just so happened to be his own sister.

"What?!" RWBY all said in shock. Why would Hiryu's own sister be a rogue?

Boomstick: Naturally, pissed off at the Striders manipulating him and his sister her immediately retired... after killing her of course.

Now RWBY felt mad that the program manipulated Strider and his sister to fight like this.... and even cringed that Hiryu had to kill his sister the hard way.

"No wonder he retired." Ruby said.

"Out of remorse and regret." Blake presumed.

On with the weapons to forget that tragic moment. What RWBY saw was Strider's main weapon of choice; it looks like a broadsword in shape and size but the handle looks similar to tonfa. Ruby, once again, had stars for eyes as she drooled at the cool looking blade.

Wiz: Hiryu wields a deadly light sword Cypher named Falchion.

Ruby screamed in delight at the mere name of this epic blade.

Wiz: It generates a blade of high-voltage plasma energy which can slice through almost anything.

"Some weapons in Remnant can also generate plasma." Weiss said. "Though, very hard and expensive to make so they are limited."

Wiz: Today, plasma cutters can reach temperatures over 2 million degrees Celsius. Cutting through steel and other metals with ease.

Ruby fangirled even more at that awesome weapon before her eyes. This has got to be one of her favorite episodes on her list.
______________________________
FALCHION LIGHT SWORD CYPHER

______________________________
Boomstick: It's basically a super, long, extending lightsaber.

"Sounds almost like the lightsaber." Yang said.

Wiz: Well, kind of, it's a sword with an extending plasma aura that leaves a trail of death. It can also fire plasma arrows and counter projectiles.

"Yes!" Shouted Ruby. She so wished Crescent Rose could do all that, also.

Boomstick: All with incredibly satisfying shing sound.

They see Strider swinging his Cypher which indeed makes a wonderful sound to RWBY's ears. Ruby REALLY loves that sound.

Boomstick: That's the one.

Wiz: Apart from the Cypher, Hiryu wields a large arsenal of Sci-fi gear and weaponry, including the Varja: a teleporting device.

Ruby really liked the Varja.

Wiz: He uses his medical tech to heal wounds, the Climb Sickle to, well, climb, the Jump tech to.... jump higher.

"Those names sound so bland." Blake admitted. "I even bet we could make them better." RWY also agreed as well but they decide to do that later.

Boomstick: I guess they don't have a thesaurus at the ninja school. He also has a device that can cause earthquakes, shoot fire, and launch big balls of electricity.

RWBY took interest in technology doing such things. Dust can also do similar abilites, including, fireballs, electric energy and even small earthquakes.

Wiz: And last but not least, he has three types of cybernetic drones at his beckon call.

Option A

-Satellite drone "Bot"

-Laser guns

-Can power machinery

Option B

-Robotic panther

-Fiercely loyal

Option C

______________________________
Wiz: Option A are twin satellite bots which shield Hiryu and fire wave after wave of deadly laser discs.

Ruby had stars in her eyes.

Boomstick: Option B is Robo-panther. It's like a giant death-cat that doesn't need a litter box or scratch the shit out of your furniture.

Ruby, Weiss and Yang laughed but Blake made a neutral expression.

Wiz: Finally, Option C is a robotic hawk with bladed wings and over sized grenades.

Ruby's star-eyes got even bigger. She loves them ALL!

Boomstick: Argh, I hate birds! And now they have grenades.

RWBY all giggled.

"If I saw a bird dropping a grenade on me, I would hate them too." Yang joked. (Unfortunately... a bird pooped on her head the next day during training and she wasn't happy.)

Wiz: Hiryu's speed and agility are off the charts. Fortunate, since he also doesn't seem to ever use his ninja stealth skills.

"I wonder. That does sound familiar." Weiss said in slight sarcasm. RWBY all chuckled again.

"When you need speed, you don't need stealth." Ruby replied.

Wiz: He's even fast enough to dodge shadow tag bullets: highly advanced ammunition designed to track supersonic targets, like Striders. Basically, anti-aircraft rounds for people.

"Whoa." RWBY all said.

"Didn't they say those bullets were designed to track Striders?" Ruby said.

"Yeah. And by the looks of it.... Strider easily dodges them." Blake said.

"Then that means..." Weiss said.

"He's much faster." Yang said in awe.

"That's awesome!" Ruby shouted she admires speed.

Boomstick: He's also strong enough to slice clean through the human body.... with a karate chop!

They see cutting a person in half.... with his hand.

"Now that's awesome!" Yang also shouted.

At the same time, though, it was also gruesome since they see blood as well.

Wiz: Hiryu has somehow been in retirement for over 2,000 years.

"Jeez. This guy is beyond impressive." Blake said astonished.

"Yeah." RWY also said. They are really liking this guy.

Wiz: Likely due to the highly advanced medicine of the future.

"It has been said that some artificial Dust can Prolong lifespans of humans and faunus but by only half a decade.... so far." Weiss pointed out.

Wiz: Yet, despite distancing himself from the Strider program, Hiryu has been pulled out of retirement more times than John McClaine.

RWBY doesn't know who John McClaine is, which is disappointing but saying Hiryu is forced out of retirement sounds pretty badass as well.

Boomstick: He's fought dinosaurs, and giant robots, destroyed a moon-sized space station.

RWBY jawdropped at those awesome and insane feats.

Boomstick: And is so badass, he considers giant flying warships mere toys.

"Wow. If he considers giant fleets of warships nothing more than toys, he's badass." Yang admitted.

Boomstick: He even slew the magical creator of the universe... twice. Apparently God is no match for this future ninja.

Strider is fighting Akuma.

Strider: There's no escape! Legion! *Strider summons his mechanical horde that mows down Akuma.*

Announcer: Hyper Combo K.O!

Strider: No place for amateurs.

After that, RWBY also approves and admires Strider Hiryu being a badass ninja. Ruby loves his speed, Cypher, and all of his gadgets and weapons. Yang is impressed he can chop people in two with his bare hands. Weiss is actually interested with all his tech. Blake admires him but has no crush on him like Ryu. On with the battle.

"Who's gonna win?" Ruby said in excitement. "I choose Ryu!"

"Ryu." Blake said.

"Because you like him~. Yang teased. Yang gets punched in the arm again.

"Tough to say, but I might go with Strider." Weiss said.

"I don't mind either." Yang said. She just wants a good fight to see.

Wiz: Alright. The combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!
______________________________
(Cues Ninja Gaiden - Alma Saves Rachel)

It was the middle of the night with the moon high in the sky. A guard is patrolling the building under construction for any intruders or assassins that may be lurking in the shadows.

Suddenly, two ninjas silently dropped from the ceiling and easily slashed the guard as they moved past him in the blink of an eye. At first, nothing happened.... then the guard bursted into blood and guts while screaming the Wilhelm scream.

RWBY made a slightly shocked face at seeing something like that happen.

Both ninjas jump back and get into battle pose. Ruby is shaking in excitement as she can't wait to see how the fight will go out.

Which ninja will live and see the day of light?

FIGHT!

(Cues Ninja Gaiden - Alma Awakened)

Ryu is the first to make the move. He jumps back and throws three shurikens in which Strider rolls under and easily dodges. Hiryu uses the momentum from the slide and strikes Hayabusa which causes him to get knocked back but the Ryu uses the wall as a platform and rebounds back and hits Strider with his True Dragon Sword.

The fight was really fast paced compared to most fights they've seen so far. The music is also fitting for this kind of fight.

Both ninjas trade blows and Ryu even uses a windmill shuriken to try to distract him but Strider keeps leaping over it while attacking Hayabusa. Time slows down as the shuriken heads towards the Strider who easily cuts it in half as the two pieces of metal fly past him.

Ruby went star eyed how awesome that was.

Hayabusa goes on the offensive and attacks Strider who blocks and tries to counterattack but gets kicked back and slams into the wall. The force of the impact causes Strider to bounce off of it and Ryu follows, catches him in midair and pile drives Hiryu into the ground.

Yang pumps her fist in approval of doing a wrestling based move.

Ryu draws his eclipse Scythe and twirls it towards Strider and tries to slice him in two but Strider teleports out of the way and cuts the Scythe off.

"NO!" Ruby screamed in horror of seeing the scythe chopped off the handle. She got over it a second later.

Ryu leaps back and pulls out a whip chain. He spins it around to increase velocity and lashes forward. Time slows down again to see the chain about to hit Strider... until Strider lands lightning fast combos on the chain which decimates it into dozens of ember metal as they fly in many directions.

RWBY jaw dropped. Even with time slowed down, Strider effortlessly moved ridiculously fast that looked to easy for him.

Ryu created a duplicate of himself as Strider struggles to hold off two ninjas fighting him as he keeps getting hit while blocking.

Strider: Back off!

He swipes at them to back off and summons two Option A bots who fire off a volley of laser discs but Ryu somersaults through them (While his duplicate disappears) and throws two shurikens which hit the drones and they explode.

Ruby shakes in excitement as the fight escalates.

(Cues Dead Or Alive 5: LAST ROUND - Ryu's Determination)

Ryu draws his bow and fires off a wave of arrows at rapid pace but Strider easily dodges them with his speed. Ryu attaches a (cartoonish) bomb to his last arrow and aims. Hiryu charges his Cypher and swipes which causes the plasma to extend and incinerate both the bomb and bow. With Hayabusa left open, strider moves forward and strikes but hits nothing. Turns out, Ryu teleported out of the way and hits him with a Torn Sky Blast that sends Hiryu flying into a room.

RWBY is now really focused goes this fight is really starting to escalate even more.

Strider quickly uses his Climb Sickle to climb up the wall and duels Hayabusa up the room. They are moving so fast that they are even flying towards the roof while trading sword clashes. The two ninjas eventually reach the top as Strider is knocked out of the roof of the building, seemingly hit last.

As Strider lands, he quickly gets out his medical tech and instantly heals while Ryu uses his Ninpo and heals just a little bit. Hayabusa and Hiryu charge up their Sky Torn Blast and Spark Trick respectively. Both energy attacks collide which create a huge explosion and sends both assassins sliding back, making a fairly huge gap.

Ruby can't stop grinning how awesome this fight is. Even Weiss is really tensed who might win.

Strider: There's no escape. Legion!

He summons his army of Option B and C robots whom all charge forward and try to mutilate Ryu but Ryu is more than ready as he cuts them to scrap metal at such speeds that it looks as if the Robots are running into a spinning propeller of death and coming out the other end as pieces.

RWBY was wide eyed at that feat pulled of by Ryu.

Ryu charges but Strider jumps over him and throws a volley of plasma arrows which forces Ryu to jump and flip out of danger. Strider uses his sickle to reach the top and easily decimates a Flame of Wheels projectile thrown by Ryu. Both ninjas are now on top of the crane and the music goes silent.

RWBY realizes this is where it will end.

(Cues Ninja Gaiden - Orchestral Compilation)

The familiar song plays as both ninjas dash forward. At the right distance, they leap.

RWBY are now on their toes and even lean forward who's gonna prevail. Blake silently hopes it's Ryu that prevails.

Both swing as they pass each other.

Everything goes silent as they both land in a crouched position in complete silence with their backs turned from one another.

One ninja ain't so lucky tonight.

Hayabusa bleeds as blood pours out of his wound.

Blake felt horrified that her favorite ninja is gonna lose.

Strider: Time to end this! *Disappears* Ragnarok!

Strider blitz Ryu at every angle with the Varja. Ryu is taking even more damage as he couldn't fight back. Then Hiryu teleports above and he plows Ryu through the crane, through all the floors of the building until they reached the bottom in a loud crash that scatters dust. Strider lands nearby and sees Ryu lays still.

Strider admitted Ryu was a wortyh opponent.

Strider teleports away.

K.O!
______________________________
Blake couldn't believe it.... her favorite ninja and favorite combatant lost. She felt slightly heartbroken.

Yang pats Blake's back in slight remorse. "Oh come on Blake. I know he lost but he gave it all he got."

"True." Blake said. She ain't THAT depressed but she admired Ryu did do good.

Ruby was hollering how awesome that one was while Weiss was impressed as well.

As Hiryu flew away on his hang glider, as a sign of respect, a Option C robot drop a grenade on Ryu's corpse. Blake actually remembered ninjas don't leave the remains of their opponents behind if their opponent was worthy which means Ryu was worthy to Hiryu.

Boomstick: Ragnar-owned!

Wiz: This fight was very close and Ryu's Ninpo was certainly a match for Hiryu's gadgets.

Boomstick: But Ryu's enormous arsenal was useless against the Cypher.

"No kidding, since that Cypher can reach extremely hot temperatures at 2 million degrees Celsius." Weiss commented on.

Wiz: The only weapon that can stand up to the Cypher was his True Dragon Sword. But, even then, while it can cut through people like butter, Hiryu does the same with his bare hands.

Boomstick: This guy could make a wicked sandwich.

RWBY couldn't help but laugh.

Boomstick: Also, while Ryu can deflect automatic fire, Strider can dodge personalized anti-aircraft bullets.

Wiz: If you consider the difference in speed, this means Hiryu is at least 43% faster.

"Wow." RWBY all said.

"That's really fast!" Ruby shouted.

Wiz: Ultimately, Hiryu surpasses Ryu in strength, speed and weaponry.

Boomstick: Looks like Strider just floored Hayabusa.

Yang laughed at that pun while RWB groaned from that lame pun.

Wiz: The winner is Strider Hiryu.

RWBY respected Strider and cheered for him.

"Well. That's that." Yang said. "What next?"

Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle.

?: I'll teach you to behave!

Announcer: *Singing* KIller! Killer! Boy, she's a killer!

RWBY heads to bed and goes to sleep. Ready for the next episode for tomorrow.
