The clone of Kallen Kaslana goes up against the artificial human for the Embryo. Who will win and who will fall?

Interlude

(*Cues: Wiz & Boomstick - Brandon Yates*)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Shadow: Theresa Apocalypse, the genetic human clone of Kallen Kaslana.

Zero: And Es Mitsurugi, the artificial human vessel for the Embryo.

Shadow: We've already discussed previously on how clones have been able to make some of the most deadliest fighters ever. But what would happen if the reasoning for the clone's existence was made for selfish reasons?

Zero: Answer if it worked we're all screwed. He's Shadow and I'm Zero.

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

Theresa Apocalypse

Shadow: Otto Apocalypse is one of the most tragic and most dangerous people in the world.

Zero: Why you may asked well you see a long time ago he fell in love with a woman named Kallen Kaslana these two went on whacky adventures until she died so Otto driven mad decided to try and bring her back and his attempts were via cloning.

Shadow: You may remember one of those clones K-423 otherwise known as Kiana Kaslana. But before her there was another clone.

Zero: Enter A-310. She was one of the first few clones Otto made, in an attempt to revive Kallen.

Background
Serial number: A-310
Height: 145 cm
Weight: 38 kg
Age: 53
Species: Synthetic Lifeform
Aliases: Theresa Apocalypse, Teri Teri, TeriRi
Overseer of Schicksal
Likes: Her cute appearance, friends and family
Dislikes: Looking like a child

Shadow: As a human clone created with the genetics and DNA of the late Kallen, A-310 was pit through trials and training to test her skills.

Zero: Including a fight to the death with fellow clone A-303.

Shadow: Despite her victory, A-310 refused to kill A-303 which shocked Otto but at that moment he finally saw that she inherited the heroic personality of Kallen Kaslana. As her reward for sparing A-303 who is later named Amber, Otto decided to name A-310 and thus she was known as Theresa Apocalypse.

Zero: With her new name Theresa joined the Schicksal fighting team known as Valkyries, though there is one small problem. Apparently due to the cloning process Teri can't physically age and thus is stuck looking like a 12 year old child which kinda sucks cause the rest of the Valkyries are incredibly gorgeous with nice ass bodies but Teri here is a little shrimp.

Shadow: Careful Zero she's a bitt touchy about her size.

Zero: Well she wouldn't be the first time to be this offended. Anyway as a Valkyrie she was natural equipment that gives her many superhuman stats and allows her to resist Honkai radiation and do all kinds of things like being able to slow down time.

Shadow: There are several different kinds of armor that gives Theresa many unique abilities.

Zero: She can ran big ass swords, create tornadoes, throw weapons like a boomerang, and much more.

Shadow: Theresa also has the DNA of a Honkai Beast named Vishnu which gives her some nifty extra abilities absorb powers from other Honkai Beasts and regeneration.

Zero: But we haven't talked about her secret weapon: The Oath of Judah.

Shadow: The Oath of Judah is one the God Keys or the Divine Keys weapons created from the Previous Era made using a Herrscher's Core. They hold the powers of their respective Herrscher and are made with a kind of nanotechnology called "Soulium". This was the weapon that was previously wielded by Kallen.

Zero: This thing has some amazing abilities thanks to having some power from the Herrscher of Binding who can nullify and cancel Herrscher powers and other Honkai energy, seal away targets, combined itself with Sakura's Stigmata, and even use the Zeroth Power Elysion Pedion.

Shadow: Elysion Pedion allows for the creation of an otherworldly field that amplifies the Divine Key's ability to nullify Honkai energy to an extreme level. Theresa once used it to counter a similar attack. But if not used properly it could kill the user and even if the attack is properly used it's likely to knock the user out unconscious.

Zero: Yeah Teri is pretty powerful but despite her being a clone of the girl, Otto wasn't satisfied and still continued his goals of reviving Kallen.

Shadow: Nonetheless Theresa made some several new friends like Siegfied Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac she even became the aunt to their daughter Kiana.

Zero: Too bad Cecilia died in the Second Honkai Eruption, Siegfied disappeared and Kiana was cloned.

Shadow: Knowing full well how far Otto was willing to fall in order to accomplish his goals, Theresa turned against him and joined another Honkai fighting organization alongside several of her students to take not just Otto down but any threats to the world.

Feats
Kept up with Sirin for a while
Fought in the Second & Fourth Eruptions
Battled against Grey Serpent
Held her own against Kevin Kaslana
Destroyed Otto's Power of Binding
Defeated Amber, Parvati, Ganesha

Zero: Teri may be small but she's held up against the biggest threats the world has ever seen like the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin and technology won that fight if not for the fact that she was revived. We must remember how OP Herrschers can be.

Shadow: Herrschers like Sirin could transcend the Imaginary Tree which governs all of reality which includes a normal infinite multiverse infinite bubbles universes, dozens of timelines and dimensions hell even around the level of the Will of Honkai.

Zero: Hell Theresa is even comparable to Valkyries like Himeko and Fu Hua who have dodged light speed lasers.

Shadow: Even more insane is that Herrschers are so fast Honkai energy usually exists beyond the concepts of space and time thanks to the collapse of the Imaginary Tree and Sea of Quanta as well as the Will of Honkai.

Zero: I don't know if Theresa is THAT powerful but given the fact that she beat Sirin before she got a power up boast and the fact that and the fact that her Oath of Judah contains the core of the Herrscher of Binding that should put her relatively close.

Shadow: For context when Otto attempted to use that same Binding power Theresa destroyed it with the full power if Oath of Judah and Otto would later go on to use that power to in his battle against Kiana and Durandal.

Zero: And mind you Otto can go through dozens of bubble universes. Theresa is definitely one of the toughest foes put there even if she is a little hot headed.

Weaknesses
Zeroth Power could killer her if she's not careful
A bit childish
Is too cute for her own good
A bit short tempered

Shadow: Despite suffering major losses and losing several of her closest comrades Theresa has proven to be great help to her allies and even her nieces both the clone and real Kiana, and her best friend Siegfried.

Zero: She even took over as the new Overseer of Schicksal after Otto stepped down. Well technically it was all just an act to unleash his endgame plan so they had to beat his ass but still, at the very least Theresa can reform the organization back to it's former glory and still help her allies even after the Honkai is gone. What a cute little badass.

Shadow: She may be an adult trapped in a 12 year old's body, but in the end Theresa Apocalypse proved to be just as kind hearted, heroic, and a powerful fighter just like Kallen Kaslana as Otto intended her to be.

Theresa: Judah, my old friend, you have always been all-powerful. So please... Help me one last time.

Es Mitsurugi

Shadow: Soichiro Unomaru is one of the most mysterious scientists on the planet.

Zero: Yeah for some odd reason Soichiro decided to wanted to control how the world works all because he laughed when he saw his parents die. Hey I know they are pieces of shit but good god you could've at least acted surprise.

Shadow: And so Soichiro created an artificial human as substitute vessel for the Embryo which is created through thousands of souls.

Zero: And the result of that is a blonde female chick named Embryo Storage aka Es.

Background
Full name: Embryo Storage
Height: 149 cm (4'11")
Weight: 38 kg (84 lbs)
Age: 155
Species: Artificial Human
Aliases: Es, Es Mitsurugi
Guardian of the Gate
Likes: Pudding
Dislikes: Japanese pears, Chawanmushi

Shadow: Es may appear to be a perfect success at first but was deemed a failure by Soichiro all because due to having amber red eyes instead of blue.

Zero: Imagine being a failure because you have the wrong eye color. Sounds stupid but hey she learned how to speak so he kept her around anyway.

Shadow: Being used as a pawn Es the Mitsurugi Agency's Sleipnir Unit where she became friends with Mei Amanohokosaka and the two became partners on the field.

Zero:  The two became your average dynamic duo and like any anime protagonist Es fell in love she seems pretty decent.

Shadow: Except when she's in combat. Es is gifted with the Crystalline Sealing Blade: Murakumo a sentient blade that has the power to choose it's owner.

Zero: That big ass sword is capable of cutting Union's crystal in one single slash and that thing is impossible to hit and thanks to her incredible reflexes she is able to use the Murakumo to deflect high speed projectiles like Akio's ball bearings, Acht's ice and Ripper's knives.

Shadow: She also can summon these Crest Arts leaves trails of energy behind her sword swings, which then expand as a new attack also has a new sheathe around it with the power to absorb and store seithr within it.

Zero: She can also unleash beams of fire even from her goddamn mouth, fire any materials made out of metal with only a snap of a finger, and create strings.

Shadow: She is able to do all of this seithr absorption. A standard ability for Unions as they absorb seithr in the atmosphere to increase their power, or to use their Drive, their unique abilities like with Akira, Akio, and Goro.

Zero: So copy abilities basically. Anyways Es would later go on to make some friends and somewhere along the lines they plan on killing Soichiro only for him to be already dead.

Shadow: Eventually in order to protect her friend Toya, Es lay inside the Boundary as the Embryo did not belong in the real world and to also seal the Wadatsumi Gate by creating the World of Tsukuyomi, sacrificing herself. With her work done she prays that Toya and the others have a happy future, before falling into a deep sleep.

Zero: Oh yeah and it turns out Es can use the Embryo all it took was for Hinata to transfer it into Es.

Shadow: A full powered Embryo which is capable of restraining the Boundary with its existence, a realm that transcends the multiverse.

Feats
Capable of restraining the Boundary with its existence
Destroyed the Transmission Tower with one Fireball
Took possession Hinata's full powered Embryo
Took hits from Susano'o
Continued to fight despite having some serious wounds

Zero: That's great and all but that's nothing compared to her ultimate weapon, the Phenomenon Intervention.

Shadow: Phenomenon Intervention is an ability that rewrites all of reality in the way the user desires including existence erasure, time and space, create illusions, and many many more.

Zero: Es can definitely be comparable to top tiers like Ragna and Noel. Ragna can be compared to Izanami, who boasted that, with a little difficulty, she could replicate the Requiem superweapon's capabilities which is powerful enough to wipe out the Earth and the Moon.

Shadow: Embryo's are capable of traversing the boundary with relative ease, as shown with Es in Xblaze, which is stated to be infinite in size.

Weaknesses
lacking in pressure
Fairly naïve

Zero: And after more than a century and a half or craziness Es would eventually become a Guardian of the Gate. Guess this proves Es was not a failure after all.

Shadow: What ever threats are out there you can always count on Es to help out in anyway she can.

Es: Everything will be all right... When you wake up, you'll forgotten all about me. Goodbye, my dearest one.

Verdict

(*Cues: Wiz & Boomstick - Brandon Yates-again*)

Shadow: Alright the combatants are set and we've run the data on all possibilities.

Zero: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

In the middle of the forest at nighttime with a full moon we see Theresa Apocalypse sitting on a logvideo game online she is playing Super Smash Bros Ultimate playing as Link while her opponent plays as Sora (in KHIII skin) and they fighting on Hollow Bastion in which they get to the Divine to the Heart with Aqua's heart shown and are on stamina mode. Theresa is seen struggling.

Theresa: Come on come on come on.

Unfortunately for Teri her opponent wins the fight gets the best of her by ending the fight with an Up special with the screen going white as the announcer announces game and Sora as the winner. This left the cloned Apocalypse furious and salty.

Theresa: Goddamnit why can't I win in video games?! Hmph.

Before she could go on a rant she hears footsteps in the woods.

Theresa: Who's there?

As the Principal of St Fraya prepares herself, the Guardian of the Azure Gate, Es Mitsurugi emerges from the bushes.

Es: You there I have a question.

She pulls out a picture of Theresa's adopted niece Kiana Kaslana.

Es: Where is this girl? She has white hair like you I need to know where she is.

Theresa was surprised at first but keeps her cool and responds by saying:

Theresa: Sorry I don't know what you're talking. I've got things to do see ya.

However she hears a sword drawn as Es with her Sealing Blade: Murakumo in hand makes her intentions clear.

Es: Let me make this clear: I can tell based on your reaction that you know her as such you must know where she is. Now spill it. Where is she.

To protect her niece, Theresa continues to refuse and walks away.

Theresa: Like I said I don't know what you're talking about so back off!

Es: Quit lying it's literally written on your face so tell me where she is or we'll do this the hard way you runty little child!

This insult was more than enough to stop the Overseer in her tracks as her face.

Theresa: What the Hell... did you just say, huh?!

Now infuriated she turns to face her opponent and summons the Oath of Judah.

Theresa: WHO ARE YOU CALLING A RUNTY LITTLE KID YOU BLONDE HEAD PUNK!!

She sends lengthy chains at her, ensnaring her in place. Es however was not intimidated in the slightest.

Es: Alright the hard way it is then.

She breaks the chains with ease and jumps at her opponent attempting to slash her but the clone of the late Kallen Kaslana jumps out of the way and retaliates by sending spears at her enemy forcing the latter to block them. That was all Theresa needed to throw boomerang like swords forcing the vessel for the Embryo to get out of the way but nearly as Es is cut in the arm. Theresa then charges at her opponent.

Theresa: Not bad but you'll have to do better than that!

Es responds as the creations of Otto and Soichiro charge at each other and the clones then clash attacks resulting in a shockwave as the dust clears Theresa jumps out of the smoke but notices several projectiles coming at her as Theresa is forced to dodge which she does and counters several attacks as Es who is still in the smoke decides to make her next move.

Es: I'd say it's time I show you the true power of the Guardian of the Gate!

She uses her ultimate move and clears the smoke with Artorius as she lunges at Theresa with a fury of attacks creating more smoke as they clash. The former Principal of St. Freya looks around for her opponent until she hears her voice.

Es: Do you know the difference between you and I?

As the area around them begins the shake due to overwhelming aura Es using the power of the Embryo and floats in the air.

Es: POWER! While you are nothing but a mere child!

She swings her blade at Theresa but the latter manages to block it with the Oath of Judah.

Theresa: Well I think the difference is.

As she says this her Divine Key starts glowing and unleash the Power of Binding and knocks back Es.

Theresa: ABILITY!!

As the vessel of Embyro is knocked back to a tree, the clone of Kallen approaches her.

Theresa: And I have you in my tracks.

Es: Oh do you really?

Suddenly the area they were fighting on starts changing as Theresa observes in surprise in shock and then questions her opponent.

Theresa: Hey what the Hell is this?!

Es then chuckles and responds and reveals her trump care

Es: Behold the ultimate power of a guardian one that will send you to your grave! Phenomenon Intervention!

The area then slowly consumes them as Theresa screams and the screen goes black. A-310 wakes up in place to her shock and begins distorting as the fabric of space starts glitching out, with her struggling to regain her sense of reality. Cameo scenes of previous battles such as Shigaraki against Cinder Fall, Diavolo against Overhaul, Aqua against Jeanne d'Arc, Pac-Man against Bomberman and the more recently the battles of her students Kiana, Mei, and Bronya against Noel, Sasuke, and Rex are briefly seen in the background.

Theresa: Where am I?

Suddenly Es appears in front of her.

Es: You have no where left to run now say your prayers because this will be your last stand!

Theresa: Oh is that right?! Come and get me then!

Theresa still with her Oath of Judth and prepares to unleash her ultimate technique however Es dives down to stop her with all her strength.

Es: Not this time! Type: Exterminator – "Artorius"!

With that combined with her Embyro she swings her sword in mid air and slashes Theresa causing her to scream and start bleeding out as her adversary jumps in the air to finish her, however before Es can finish her off Theresa chuckles and regenerates from the attack.

Theresa: My grandfather used to teach me the ways of combat.

She uses her chains to bind Es once again but this tike tightly.

Theresa: Including this: Oath of Judth, Level 0 output! Grace Barrier! Directional expansion!

Just then the Power of Binding shatters Phenomenon Intervention around them much to Es's shock.

Es: WHAT?!

As she says this she screams as Theresa throws more spears as they instantly impale Es as she explodes along with the Phenomenon Intervention. The last clone standing then finds himself back on the area where the fight started and is completely exhausted.

Theresa: Phew. That was a close one.

The Overseer than decides to rest log as she looks up at the moon.

KO!

Results

(*Cues: Spellapholics Synonymous again*)

Zero: Well time to add another clone on our board of death.

Shadow: These two were fairly evenly matched in almost every way that counts.

Zero: As far as training and combat experience goes Es takes the obvious edge as she's been fighting for 155 years while Theresa did train and fight for nearly her entire life she's obviously much younger. And not to mention both can compare to cosmic beings like Kiana and Noel making them roughly even in power

Shadow: However that's where their similarities as Theresa had everything to earn her victory.

Zero: While both having shown to have incredible scaling to multiversal beings, the Honkai cosmology like the Imaginary Tree has shown to have a great powerful scale having infinite bubble universes, infinite timelines, infinite dimensions, alternate realities, you name it they have it all so much so that it's basically BEYOND multiversal something we have never seen in BlazBlue.

Shadow: Not to mention thanks to the her incredible hax and versatile abilities Theresa can simply overwhelm like time slowing, healing factor and the Oath of Judah has the core that contains the Herrscher of Binding's power.

Zero: Not to mention she should be naturally faster than Es based on what we found Theresa should be comparable to many Herrschers who can move past the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta.

Shadow: Es's only chance to match that in power and speed is the Phenomenon Intervention.

Zero: The Phenomenon Intervention could definitely give Theresa a really REALLY hard time especially with all the incredible abilities it has if Es wanted to she can create several possibilities like erasing Theresa from existence, travel back in time to the start of the fight, or manipulate her fate I mean Theresa is not a Herrscher and doesn't have any resistance to that type of hax right?

Shadow: That would've been the case if not for the fact that people with Honkai energy have nearly similar resistances to this type of stuff before.

Zero: People like Durandal, Rita, Fu Hua, Hell even Seele prior to becoming a Herrscher has survived similar environments not to mention False God Otto can do some similar type of stuff the Phenomenon Intervention can do with the Power of Binding, so Theresa this isn't any new to her meaning that Es's trump card isn't really a guaranteed win.

Shadow: And thanks to Elysion Pedion she can definitely break out of the Phenomenon Intervention.

Zero: Hell if she can break her granddaddy's similar Power of Binding I don't think it's out the realm of possibilities to do the same here in the end once Es's trump card is used up. All that's left for Teri Teri to do was finish the job.

Shadow: Es was and incredible and more experienced opponent but Theresa's versatility, destructive raw power, and Honkai energy gave her the win.

Zero: Theresa sure brought the Apocalypse to Embryo Storage with Es.

Shadow: The winner is Theresa Apocalypse.

Advantages and disadvantages
Theresa Apocalypse
+More powerful
+Incredible Honkai energy
=Speed
-Less experienced

Es Mitsurugi
+More experienced
+Likely more skilled
=Speed
-Phenomenon Intervention is not a guaranteed win
-Less powerful

Shadow: Thank you guys so much after this we have 1 more episode left of this entire season. Yeah there's been a change of plans so look forward to the season finale.

Zero: We'll see you all next time. Peace.

Next time
