Ruby Rose vs The Flash

Ruby Rose vs The Flash| DEATH BATTLE!|

2 speedsters fight to the death. 1 survives. One dies.

Ruby Rose
Wiz: In a small town, there was a young girl named Ruby Rose who wielded a mechanical scythe known as- the Crescent Rose.

Boomstick: Then she kicked this guy Torchwick's ass, and after some help from her hot sister Yang Xiao Long, she got into this awesome school, Beacon.

Wiz: This is where she would meet her future teammates, Weiss Schnee and Blake Belladonna. Unfortunately, they didn't all get along at first. It only got worse when they were all forced to team up with each other, with Ruby of all people as the leader. They formed- Team RWBY.

'''Boomstick: Even though it seemed like Ruby would be one of the absolute worst choices as a leader - trust me, she is - she actually does kinda okay at it. She often fights and kills huge monsters, takes on powerful fighters, and HER SCYTHE TURNS INTO A FUCKING SNIPER RIFLE!'''

Wiz: It sure does! Ruby may seem like an adorable girl with a scythe, but in reality she is someone you really don't want to mess with.

'''Boomstick: In the Red trailer, she took down a ton of giant Beowulves! The exact number is estimated to be at around one-hundred. Man, this chick's a badass!'''

Wiz: Ruby is paired up with Weiss, who is pretty much her complete opposite in terms of personality and fighting style. She was also trained by her uncle in terms of fighting, so she's a very adept fighter.

'''Boomstick: Ruby's also kinda smart. She built the Crescent Rose by herself during her time at Signal, and she loves weapons like I do. I think I'd get along pretty well with Ruby.'''

Wiz: You probably would, Boomstick. But her weapon isn't the only thing she has going for her. Ruby's physicality is far above that of a regular human, being able to tank laser beams, explosions, and falls rather easily. She also shows no signs of fatigue in battle and has superhuman strength. But what Ruby REALLY has going for her is her speed.

Boomstick: Remember the most awesome food fight you have ever seen?

Wiz: ...Best. Food fight. Ever.

'''Boomstick: Well Ruby ran so fast that she actually caught herself and her friends in a vacuum suction! How the hell does that even happen?!'''

Wiz: She would have to run at Mach 20 in order to do that, which is about 6,805.8 miles per second. This is farfaster than even the likes of Sonic the Hedgehog.

'''Boomstick: Sonic vs. Ruby confirmed, guys. The hype is real.'''

Wiz: Not actually confirmed.

Boomstick: ...Possibly?

Wiz: Anyway, Ruby's speed doesn't even stop there. Using her Semblance, she can actually make herself so fast that it appears to be like teleportation.

'''Boomstick: And she can even use something called Aura. Totally not a Lucario ripoff.'''

Wiz: Ruby's Aura and Lucario's aura are two completely different things. Ruby's Aura increases both her defense and offense, making her even more powerful.

Boomstick: What a tough girl!

Wiz: But as powerful as Ruby may be, she comes with her own flaws. She is extremely reckless and naive, rushing into battle without really knowing what it is she is doing. This has led to her downfall in several occasions, and it's only worse when factored in with her love of weapons.

Boomstick: Kinda reminds me of Sol Badguy.

Wiz: But Ruby is capable of getting her head in the game when really need be. In the end, Ruby is one red riding hood you don't want to mess with.

The Flash
Wiz: From Wonder Woman to Superman, there's no shortage of DC heroes capable of achieving superhuman feats. But only one is truly synonymous with speed itself.

Boomstick: The Flash (Ahhh!)

Wiz: But, before he became the Flash, he was only known as Barry Allen.

(*Cues: A Darker Past - Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox*)

Boomstick: Like many superheroes, Barry's lacking in the whole, "living parent" department.

Wiz: One day after returning home, he discovered his mother had been murdered, and his father had been wrongly convicted of the crime.

'''Boomstick: Knowing dad was innocent, Barry vowed to clear him of the crime and became... a forensic scientist for the Central City Police.'''

(*Cues: A Lot Happened That Night - The Flash*)

Boomstick: Buuut dear old dad died before Barry could set him free.

Wiz: Wracked with grief, this only strengthened Barry's resolve to find his mother's real killer.

'''Boomstick: And on one fateful night, when he was doing some... sciency stuff, he got struck by lighting! And then fell into some chemicals.'''

Wiz: Now normally, this would be incredibly fatal, but since this is comic books, Allen was imbued with the power to move his body at incredible speeds and became the Flash!

(*Cues: The Mission of a Soldier - Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox*)

'''Boomstick: (Ahh!) You're probably thinking "Okay, cool, he's like, fast enough to run across water now," but there's a whole slew of other benefits that come with his new power. Like accelerated healing, enhanced strength, the ability to absorb kinetic energy from others, a brain that works faster than a supercomputer, and the ability to throw lightning.'''

Wiz: To do any of this, Flash draws his power from the Speed Force. An extra dimensional energy source, which, when synced with a living being's bio-electric field, amplifies and distorts their perception and placement in individual time versus time outside their own field.

Boomstick: What?

Wiz: Uh, in layman's terms, it's kinda like, uh, the Force in Star Wars, but instead of Jedi tapping into it's powers, it's comic book speedsters.

Boomstick: I see...

(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)

Wiz: Think of it as it's own dimension, that the Flash can use as a power source, and also enter on his own whim. Plus, it's pretty handy for getting the Flash out of jams when an author writes him into a corner.

'''Boomstick: Sure...also, while other speedsters like Max Mercury and Wally West use the Speed Force, Barry is actually the one who generates it! And boy, can he do some ridiculous stuff.'''

Wiz: When push comes to shove, he can easily break the speed of light, over 670 million miles per hour.

'''Boomstick: He once rescued everyone from a collapsing apartment building, then used the public library to learn everything he needed to rebuild the whole place, and then he did it, all before the cops showed up! Oh, and he can run on clouds.'''

Wiz: Apparently, he does this by vibrating his feet in such a way that the ice crystals within the clouds are collected underneath him to provide footholds, which is an affront to science!

Boomstick: Speed Force, Wiz.

Wiz: Anyway, his brain is fast enough to perceive events in less then an attosecond, he once called the Justice League supercomputer slow, which, by the way, processes at one hundred thousand trillion calculations per second.

(*Cues: Justice League - Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox*)

'''Boomstick: The Speed Force also absorbs damage like a shield, because at this point, what can't it do? Make waffles? Probably. He was once blown up by enough grenades to send him flying into a tree, breaking it in half.'''

Wiz: To snap a tree like that, requires at least 70,000 pounds of force.

Boomstick: Ouch, but he was up and running around in no time, thanks to Speed Force healing.

Wiz; Right, like the time he got stabbed through the leg, but minutes later, stood up and ran fast enough to outrace a nuclear blast, and break the time barrier, yes, I said "time barrier".

'''Boomstick: Did you ever hear the phrase, "New 52"? Like, where DC rebooted it's whole universe and everyone's backstories? Yeah, Flash....Flash did that...all of it....Batman's dad told him to.'''

Wiz: You'd think time travel would be an awesome skill to have, but not really in Flash's case. While well intentioned, his hot headed time-hopping adventures usually end up making things worse.

Boomstick: Like when he tried to save his mom's life, and ended up ruining the entire universe instead!

''Professor Zoom: Break the sound barrier and there's a sonic boom. You broke the time barrier, Flash, time boom. Ripples of distortion radiated out through that point of impact, shifting everything just a tiny bit, but enough.''

Wiz: Also, it is possible for others to disrupt Flash's connection to the Speed Force, making him lose his abilities.

Boomstick: But with fast healing, time travel, extra-dimensional power, he's done a lot for a guy who can run really fast.

Barry Allen uses his ring to change into the Flash.
