Bruno Bucciarati vs Blake Belladonna is a What-If?Death Battle by LakuitaBro01.2
Description:[]
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure vs RWBY! They've fought long and hard for what they thought was a good cause, but they've decided to make a change! Will Bucciarati be the one to zip up Belladonna's body bag? Or will Blake catch his tongue?
Interlude:[]
Wiz: Betrayal. One of the evilest, most cruelest things a person may do to someone no matter the circumstances.
Boomstick: Wiz's mom telling him he can't hold anymore DnD campaigns in the living room aside, sometimes it can bring good! Like when you're abandoning a sick and twisted group.
Wiz: In the case of that, people may fight their way through their enemies just to see their cause come to fruition.
Boomstick: Like Bruno Bucciarati, the Capo of Passione.
Wiz: And Blake Belladonna, the Huntress in Training.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skill to see who would win a Death Battle.
Bruno Bucciarati:[]
Boomstick: Ah, Italy. Home of pizza and spaghetti, and of brilliant cultures such as kissing everyone you see and joining the mob to avenge your father.
Wiz: The life of Bruno Bucciarati was a tough one for sure. When he was 7 years old his parents split, Bruno stayed with his father in a coastal town where he worked as a fisherman. After stumbling upon a drug trade, Bucciarati's father was shot several times and rushed to the hospital.
Boomstick: That night, while Bucciarati stood by his side in the hospital room, two gangsters snuck into his room to finish the job. What at first seemed like a easy task turned brutal as 12 year old Bucciarati leapt out from under the bed and split their necks open! Damn I wish he was my kid.
Wiz: Knowing that the police wouldn't be able to protect him and his father from the mafia's revenge, Bucciarati offered himself to join the ranks of Passione for protection. For a couple of years he served under Polpo, gaining protection to make sure his father and he were untouched.
Boomstick: But unfortunately the mafia were able to intervene through some way during his father's surgery and he died. Then realizing that a drug trade was going on throughout the city, Bruno put together his own team to lay a stake in the organization's business.
Wiz: Then Giorno came into the group and we know where it goes from there.
Boomstick: Bucciarati is a force to be reckoned with among the Stand users of Passione. He's very intelligent and always keeps his calm demeanor, but can be brutally violent when he needs to be.
Wiz: Physically, Bucciarati has been shown easily capable of knocking around Giorno, as seen in their first encounter, but to also be capable of kicking a man so hard that it cracked the window of a train.
Boomstick: Poor old pineapple head got knocked out by a blow like that afterwards, which is understandable as Italian trains back in 2001 were built to withstand objects weighing as much as a kilogram travelling at 100 meters a second crashing into them without breaking.
Wiz: As for speed, Bucciarati did the prior feat of strength by dropping down from the roof of a train car and hitting the guy before he could take a step. While probably not mach speeds fast, it's still quick.
Boomstick: He can also tell when people are lying by licking their sweat! It's weird!
Wiz: That aside, Bruno has shown to be capable of quick thinking, like using Secco's power against him and causing a car to fall through the Earth and tricking him into popping the tire.
Boomstick: Or how while he was on the verge of death he figured out the ability of King Crimson while trying to escape him.
Wiz: But the true power of Bruno Bucciarati comes from his Stand: Sticky Fingers.
Boomstick: Taking on a white and blue appearance with zippers all over it, it's a fast and powerful stand with a very versatile ability: zippers. With this stand you can whip your dick out on the fly!
Wiz: Not exactly the case. Sticky Fingers can place zippers on any surface and "unzip" them, if you will. If he places a zipper on a pole and opens it, the pole splits in half. If he places a zipper on a person, well...
Boomstick: They frickin fall apart, that's what happens. This ability is actually very useful in other situations as well, like if he needs to make a quick getaway he could just place a zipper on a wall, open it, step through, and close it.
Wiz: Or if he needs to go up a wall, he could simply place a zipper, grab it, and ride it up.
Boomstick: Need to hide? Don't worry about it! Just open a zipper on any person or any object and crawl inside! Where does the dimension you hide inside go? Nobody knows, not even Bucciarati!
Wiz: On the topic of placing zippers on people, Bucciarati is also capable of using Sticky Fingers' ability on himself, being able to split any part of his body open to avoid a punch.
Boomstick: Even the Stand can use it on itself! While the standard range of Sticky Fingers is around 2 meters, the use of its zippers can allow its limbs to shoot out far passed that distance.
Wiz: The physical attributes of Sticky Fingers isn't anything to scoff at either. It could go toe to toe with Giorno's Golden Experience, and in a weakened state stood up to Prosciutto's Grateful Dead.
Boomstick: And if it weren't for King Crimson's dangerous set of abilities, there's a good chance Sticky Fingers would've killed Diavolo in a single hit. But alas, the win was torn from his arms like Trish from her hand.
Wiz: Speaking of keeping up with King Crimson, Diavolo's stand could stand up to Silver Chariot.
Boomstick: You know, the Stand that's infamous for stabbing a particle of light and speeds far past lightspeed? Yeah, THAT Silver Chariot. And Bruno's stand kept up with his "killer".
Wiz: Bruno Bucciarati is a unstoppable machine only put down by the one Stand that ruled above all else. Even after receiving a chop that severed his shoulder and dug down far enough to rupture his heart, Bucciarati still continued to escape Diavolo with Trish in tow.
Boomstick: However Bruno by himself is still frail, and Sticky Fingers itself can only use its abilities upon contact, and not just at will.
Wiz: Further more, if Bucciarati disconnects himself from his heart, he can die if he can't put himself back together in time.
Boomstick: Eh, he's escaped death multiple times already. It's just a question of if he can do it again.
Blake Belladonna:[]
Boomstick: In a world where engineered cat girls exist naturally, and everyone has some sort of superpower at their disposal, there is racism.
Wiz: The Faunus of Remnant had faced discrimination for a long time, and eventually an organization known as the White Fang had been created in hopes of turning their oppressors away.
Boomstick: Young Blake Belladonna joined the protests at a VERY young age, and was a very vocal supporter even up to when the White Fang had taken a more militant approach. While Blake didn't entirely agree with this change, she still underwent training as a guerilla fighter.
Wiz: Years later, one fateful night severed her connection from the White Fang. She and her partner Adam Taurus had raided a Schnee Dust Company train, a corporation notorious for their treatment of Faunus, in hopes to find something dear to Adam.
Boomstick: But as he told Blake about his plans to blow the train to pieces along with the crew, Blake acted fast and separated her now ex-partner from the rest of the train. From that point forward, Blake enrolled at Beacon Academy and became a part of Team RWBY.
Wiz: As a Faunus, Blake is more agile than the typical human being, and more athletic to boot. Her hearing is enhanced greatly and she's able to see in the dark with night vision.
Boomstick: She can stand up to many tough foes, including Adam Taurus who was so outright crazy strong that Cinder Fall didn't want to confront him until after she became the Fall Maiden.
Wiz: She has also been shown capable of slicing the wings of the Sea Dragon with relative ease, and is comparable to Ruby Rose, who was able to stagger the Atlesian Colossus.
Boomstick: She's also quick enough to dodge missiles, machinegun fire, and even intercept and dodge the lightning breath attacks of the Sea Dragon. But where there's a girl, there's a very convoluted weapon and set of abilities.
Wiz: Blake wields the Gambol Shroud, a combination between a katana, a cleaver used as a sheath, a pistol, and a kusarigama.
Boomstick: It's a very versatile to say the least. She could use it up close either as a katana or she can dual wield a kusarigama and a cleaver. While the pistol is nice for some long ranged combat, she can use it in a similar way as Ruby by using the shot's velocity to swing her kusarigama around faster.
Wiz: And like most people, Blake can use the different types of dust found in Remnant and use them in her pistol for different effects.
Boomstick: Fire Dust burns 'em, Ice Dust freezes 'em, Earth Dust pelts them with stones, and Gravity Dust actually effects the whole weapon, increasing her attack output. Whether or not this is caused by Dust, Blake can also fire "blade beams" from Gambol Shroud too.
Wiz: In the even that Blake needs a quick get away, it can be used as a grappling hook or a sling shot. This makes Blake a tricky fighter, and that doesn't even factor in her Semblance or Aura.
Boomstick: Semblances are basically your superpower you inherited at birth. What Blake inherited was the ability to create clones of herself to distract, shield, or to hide herself from enemy's blows.
Wiz: Most stay close to her at any given point, but like with her pistol's dust abilities, her clones change with each type of dust. Fire Dust turns her clone into a fire bomb, Ice Dust turns her clone into an ice statue which can trap her opponents, and Earth Dust creates a stone statue that can protect her from attacks.
Boomstick: Violet Dust also turns the clone into a dark haze which obscures people's vision and lingers for a long time.
Wiz: All of this wouldn't be possible without the use of Aura. Aura is a projection of the soul that protects the body from the extreme elements and from most damage. It allows a person to heal themselves or allows them to project it like a shield.
Boomstick: However it's a double edged sword. The use of Semblance drains the Aura reserve, and once Aura shatters, not only can Blake not use her semblance, she becomes almost helpless in battle as any hit would be fatal to her.
Wiz: But with her skills and powers, she may have what it takes to overwhelm her competition.
Death Battle:[]
Venice, Italy
The great canals of the beloved city lay calm as the moonlight reflected on the surface. Most residents were asleep as it was the very early morning, but that didn't stop the city's mafia from doing their work.
As he didn't feel as though Passione's wing in Venice was strong enough for him to feel secure, the Boss had enlisted the help of an outside presence; a terrorist group called the White Fang. With them helping Passione, their grip on Venice became a stranglehold.
And as such, the drug exchange in northern Italy had finally picked up.
Tonight, the head of the White Fang in Venice was meeting with the head of Passione in Venice, and they were to discuss the debts owed to the White Fang. In a warehouse near the harbor, both groups entered quietly, and had set up their proposals on a single table.
The capo quietly unlatched his briefcase. Inside was about 10 million lira, a rather hefty amount for the White Fang's troubles. When he turned, he was met not with the White Fang's Venice branch head, but rather the head of White Fang itself: Adam Taurus.
"Ten million lira, huh?" Adam eyed him up and down, the capo becoming increasingly nervous. "What is this, chump change?"
Adam slapped the briefcase across the warehouse, spreading bills all over the place. He got closer to the capo, who stared at him with terror.
"Y-You want more?!" he stammered.
"We are abandoning OUR cause because YOU can't keep a handle on this city."
Adam stepped away, then three goons swept in and pinned the capo to the table. Two of them held his arms and legs down, while the third prepared a knife.
"We can take this city from you easily. With the snap of my fingers, you could die and the White Fang could overrun the city and take it as a new base of operations..." he began. He slammed his foot into the ground hard. "And you're only giving us 10 million?!"
From above, someone who belonged to the terrorist group below was watching with contempt. Each member had some sort of animalistic trait, like how Adam had the ears of a bull. She, however, had the eyes and ears of a cat.
Jumping form the banister, she landed on both of her feet gracefully, joining Adam. "Ah, there you are, Blake."
Blake looked at the briefcase, and back to the capo. She was thinking of how to fix this situation and save the gangster's life while getting what Adam wanted.
"Do you think there's any chance at all you could possibly double that number?" she asked politely. The capo's eyes bugged. "I can try but the boss won't be happy!"
The grip on him tightened at the snap of Adam's fingers.
"Tell him to be happy! He has the White Fang at his disposal, all he needs to do is just 'feed' us properly so we don't scratch."
The capo began to panic as the goon with the knife brought it closer, but he suddenly stopped in place, frozen.
Adam stamped his foot. "What is wrong with him?" he demanded. One of the goons got a little closer to examine him. "I dunno, he looks off though."
He had turned blue, and it looked as though something from inside was causing great harm to him. Something golden glittered in the shoddy warehouse light as their comrad seemingly zipped open from head to waist. They yelled in terror as a man in white pulled himself out of him, and next thing they knew, what seemed to be a ghost popped out of him and knocked them out.
The capo's eyes lit up in happiness. "B-Bucciarati! Thank goodness you're here!" The capo bowed to him before running away to rendezvous with the other gangsters outside.
Bucciarati turned towards Blake and Adam, while Sticky Fingers hovered right behind him. Both froze in place, before the quick thinking Adam spoke up.
"Blake, I'm gonna go collect our friends. Hold him off in the meantime!" he stated before he bolted off, not letting Blake have a chance to say anything.
She turned back towards Bucciarati and sighed, holding up her Gambol shroud in katana form. She wasn't too happy with the circumstances, but this was the group she dedicated her life to.
Nella Cerniera - Jojo: Golden Wind
"I presume you to be the partner of Adam Taurus?" Bucciarati inquired as his Stand moved in front of him, assuming a battle pose. Blake nodded as she held up her weapon.
"Perhaps we can reason?" she asked, but the arm of the Stand shot off towards her face at blinding speeds.
FIGHT!
Blake sidestepped and sliced at the zipper that connected the arm to its body, but her blade went through it.
"What the?" she gasped, surprised. It retracted almost instantly as Blake fired shot after shot from her pistol at the Stand user. Sticky Fingers quickly went to work to block the bullets, doing almost no damage to it in the process.
"Mere bullets are no match for my Stand, Ms. Blake." Bucciarati stated calmly as the hail of bullets ceased. Blake grunted and rushed the capo with her katana, slicing right at his throat. However the stand blocked the blow, but a single bullet fired from the hilt of Gambol Shroud, hitting Bucciarati in the shoulder.
He gasped and held his shoulder. How he didn't expect that he didn't know, but that weapon was clearly a dangerous force to be reckoned with by itself.
"Clever girl." Bucciarati noted to himself as he studied Blake. She, however, was already moving in for another attack; a flurry of swipes was heading towards Bruno. The Stand user jumped back as his Stand parried each blow skillfully.
Slowly, the pieces of the puzzle began to form in Bruno's mind. It was simply a goon with a sword. Sure, she was skilled, but the power and speed of Sticky Fingers wasn't going to allow her to take advantage of any opening.
After parrying a blow, Sticky Fingers grabbed the Gambol Shroud from Blake's hands and tossed it across the warehouse, embedding it in an oil drum. The faunus glanced over at it, and then glared at Bruno as she assumed a fighting stance. Bruno chuckled silently as Sticky Fingers lunged forwards to through a punch.
Blake skullfully dodged and landed a jab in Bucciarati's stomach, knocking the wind out of him, before roundhouse kicking him in the jaw. He sprawled on the ground and got up slowly as Blake rushed over to her weapon and plucked it out of the oil drum, causing it to spill everywhere.
"Damn, that was a blow from her by herself!" Bucciarati thought, "If that was just to stun me who knows what she could do if I get cocky like that again!"
Before Bucciarati could gather his thoughts, Blake loaded an Ice Dust cartridge into her weapon and began to fire bullet after bullet at him. Bucciarati rolled out of the way and into the path of another bullet.
"Sticky Fingers!" he yelled as the Stand punched the ground, creating a zipper leading straight towards Blake's feet. The huntress looked confused as Bruno grabbed it and slid along the ground and sprung himself towards her, landing a kick to her stomach.
Blake coughed and stumbled back as Bucciarati stood up and punched her in the head. The Faunus looked up as her foe towered over her, his Stand hovering right in front of him in a battle position.
"I commend your efforts, Ms. Blake. I'm surprised you're even able to see my Sticky Fingers in the first place! But know your place, you failed."
Sticky Fingers grabbed Blake by the collar and flung her up in the air. In free fall, Blake could only watch as the fists came flying towards her face.
"ARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARI!" the Stand cried, pummeling and placing zippers all over her body. Reeling back one last punch, Sticky Fingers cried out one last "ARI" as it landed, blowing Blake into many pieces. Bruno put two fingers up to his forehead with a stoic look on his face as chunks of the Faunus rained down.
"Arrivede-" Bucciarati began, but seemingly from right below him, Blake launched herself forwards with a dropkick, sending the Stand user flying into a bunch of wooden pallets.
"What the hell?!" he cried as he rose up from the splintered wood. The Blake he pummeled had turned disappeared, and in front of him stood two Blakes.
"This is my Semblance, Bucciarati, with it I can create clones of myself." she stated before her clone disappeared.
Bucciarati realized that he was at fault for assuming an easy fight, and he quickly sprung back up into action as Blake split the Gambol shroud into a cleaver and kusarigama and rushed him.
Gambol Shroud created a large, impenetrable sphere surrounding Blake as she ran towards Bruno. The Stand user threw himself through a window into the office of the warehouse, finding shelter behind a big metal desk. Blake hopped through the window and opened fire on the desk, but Sticky Fingers picked it up and rushed her with it.
Blake swung the Gambol Shroud at it, digging it into the side. She yanked it, pulling the Stand user's cover from him and chucked it towards the wall, but Bruno placed a zipper on the side and went with it, escaping back out to the main warehouse area.
Blake jumped back out through the window to cut off Bucciarati. She studied the area for him, and when she heard rustling to her left she fired a blade beam into a bunch of barrels. Oil spilled everywhere, but all that was harmed was a measly rat she had split in half. She went on the defensive, using her night vision to search the surrounding area, but she didn't see anything.
Her guard lowered, thinking her foe must've escaped. As she retracted the Gambol Shroud, Bucciarati popped out form behind her from what seemed like no where, and planted a punch to her back. Blake was sent flying into a steel girder, which in itself slid across the warehouse floor.
The Faunus got up quickly and turned towards Bucciarati in time to slice an incoming oil drum in half. She shook off the oil and turned the Gambol Shroud back into the kusarigama, flinging it towards the rafters above as she grappled up there. Bucciarati was in quick pursuit, having used Sticky Finger's zipper ability to pull himself up there.
It was dark for the Stand User, he squinted to see anything as the dim lights below didn't quite reach up there. In what little he could see, he saw the Gambol Shroud coming for his face, but sticky Fingers intercepted and blocked the blow. With limited eyesight, the Stand user kept parrying blow after blow as the kusarigama picked up speed.
Bruno gritted his teeth as he came up with an idea. Once the kusarigama came back around one more time, he stuck his left arm up and let it sink into his arm, letting it stop in place.
"Gah!" he yelled in pain, but he, along with his Stand, made quick work to grab the rope and began to pull the Faunus towards him. Blake struggled hard, the combined effort of a man and a "ghost" was making her struggle, but she had her own idea. Activating her Semblance, a clone popped out and ran towards Bruno and Sticky Fingers.
Bruno spotted this and went wide eyed, he was stuck pulling this rope and Blake was running towards him! Then he realized that this was a mere clone, how else would this much of a struggle keep going, he pondered. But as the Clone got closer, it jumped and turned to stone right over the line. It fell on it quickly, and yanked Sticky Fingers and Bucciarati down towards the warehouse floor.
Before they could hit the ground, however, the rope pulled them in an arch back up to Blake herself, making the blade of Gambol Shroud cut up towards Bucciarati's hand. As Bucciarati approached the rafters, Blake reached down and grabbed the blade, yanking it completely through the Stand user's hand and separating him from the line, causing him to plummet to the cement floor below.
He landed right on his back, gripping his now split arm as Sticky Fingers applied a zipper and zipped it up, completely healing the damages. Blake watched this happen from the shadows above and shivered, not only did it look painful, but he could heal himself too.
"You're a smart fighter, Blake!" Bucciarati yelled, looking up right at her. "You could make a fantastic addition to Passione!"
"And peddle drugs for a living as someone who destroys communities? No thank you!" she yelled back.
"And yet you sit there on a golden throne defending terrorists?" he inquired, scanning the room for his next plan of attack.
"The White Fang isn't about-!" she began, but Sticky Finger's arms shot up to the rafter she was on and placed zippers on them and unzipped it, causing the metal to fall with Blake on it. The arms retracted and grabbed another oil drum, and Sticky Fingers chucked it at Blake so hard it exploded on contact.
Blake shook off the blow and scooped up some oil and through it in the face of Bucciarati in return, causing it to splash all over his body. His white suit was now stained black with a highly flammable substance, and as was Blake, and as was the entire warehouse floor at this point.
As they both circled each other, sirens grew in the distance, and the flash of red and blue became brighter as the cops drew closer and closer to the warehouse.
Overdrive - Jojo: Battle Tendency
Sticky Fingers flipped the table in the center of the room up and punched it towards Blake, who split it in half and grabbed a leg, chucking it back at him. Sticky Fingers caught it and tossed it towards a window to its left, shattering it, showering the ocean below with pieces of glass.
Blake opened fire on Bruno as he ducked for cover behind a scaffold. Blake jumped to the wall too Bruno's left and kicked off towards him, but anticipating an attack like that, Bruno zipped himself almost completely in half, making Blake go through him and into the scaffold. After fixing himself quickly, Sticky Fingers grabbed Blake and slammed her into the scaffold again, breaking the metal supports and making it block the door.
The faunus was able to break free with a hard kick as her kusarigama lashed towards Bruno's face, just barely scratching his cheek. Bruno grunted as he once again caught the rope of the Gambol Shroud, and Sticky Finger's arm launched at Blake, sweeping her off her feet. With its other arm, Sticky Fingers assisted Bruno is flinging her into the wall of the warehouse.
The Stand user rushed his foe, and as she stood up he knee'd her in the stomach and elbowed her in the temple, dazing her. Before Sticky Fingers could land a fatal punch to her chest, she dodged out of the way as a Clone took the blow and turned into ice, trapping the stand in place. Bruno froze, he couldn't move either, she had taken the upper hand so easily!
Blake rushed Bruno, who's eyes grew wide with fear.
"STICKY FINGERS!" he yelled as his Stand used a zipper to separate the stature in the middle, somewhat freeing him from the trap. Sticky Fingers reeled back its ice covered fist and slammed it into Blake, shattering the rest of the statue and flooring the huntress. Bruno stomped towards her head, but she rolled out of the way and swept his legs.
Oil splashed all around them, and Blake took note of the blocked entrances and open window. She turned back to Bruno, and to the sirens and lights blaring right outside the warehouse. She smirked and rushed at her foe.
Bruno chuckled silently and threw a punch, but Blake turned into a black haze instantly, obscuring his view completely. Once it cleared, two Blakes stood there in front of him. One stood in the massive pool of oil, and the other up in the newly broken window. The one in the window pointed the Gambol Shroud's pistol at the one on the ground and fired. A flaming bullet hit the clone, and the clone burst into flames.
The warehouse went ablaze almost instantly. Bucciarati shielded his eyes from the heat as he attempted to make his way to the window, but Blake shot at the rafters above, causing them to fall in front of the window, blocking the only way out. The Stand user looked around for any way out, and found nothing.
Outside the warehouse
Blake dived into the ocean, cleaning herself of all oil. If it weren't for that mafia goon, she would've made it out of the warehouse unscathed. She started to job along the beach towards the city, but with one step she felt herself suddenly sink into the ground.
She looked down to see a new hole in the sand, and as she moved to pull her leg out, a set of hands locked around her ankle in an iron grip. Bucciarati's face emerged from the darkness, a single drop of blood rolling down his face.
"I had used my Stand's abilities to dig through the Earth itself, creating my own escape." he stated, as his Stand grabbed her and yanked her further down. The warehouse in the distance exploded, and Bucciarati jumped out of the hole, retracting his Stand as he broke into a sprint away from Blake. The faunus pulled her leg out in time as a eruption of flame from the explosion made its way to the beach, burning her foot.
She yelled in pain and stood up, staring down Bucciarati. Likewise, Bucciarati stared her down as well, but he broke the gaze and bolted off into the canal-lined streets of Venice. Blake followed in hot pursuit with anger in her eyes.
Bruno opened a hole in a building and hopped inside, closing it behind him. Blake hopped through a window and dodged a punch from her foe, and she roundhouse kicked him into a glass table, shattering it. Bucciarati's grabbed a shard of glass and brandished it like a dagger, beckoning Blake to come closer.
So she did, with her katana at her side. Sticky Fingers popped out from behind her and shoulder checked her, pushing her towards its user. Bruno sliced at her, but she ducked and punched his elbow, cracking it loudly. Bruno ignored the pain and slashed at her relentlessly. The faunus narrowly avoided each attack, but Sticky Fingers appeared and grabbed onto her.
Bruno dug the shard of glass into her stomach, but Blake promptly turned into a dark cloud of haze, blinding him. The real Blake jumped from the shadows and drop kicked him towards a window, shattering it and leaving Bruno hanging half way out. She ran over, grabbed him, and tossed him towards a bookshelf against the wall, prompting it to fall over onto him.
The bookshelf laid flat on the ground, surprising Blake as she picked up a side of it, revealing Bruno to not be there. Then she heard the staircase door slam out in the hall using her advanced hearing, and she ran out. Bruno made it about halfway to the top of the building when Blake broke past the barricade he put up. He took off quicker towards the roof as his foe's speed allowed her to catch up to him quickly.
As Bruno made it to the roof top, he looked around for what he could use to put Blake's pursuit to a halt. In the middle of the roof sat two sky lights which would surely lead to a 10 story drop to the lobby floor below. He ran to the far side as Blake burst through the door and began to twirl her kusarigama.
The weapon flew towards the Stand user, and Sticky Fingers caught the blade midair and grabbed onto the rope with Bruno, both pulling Blake towards the sky light. Blake planted her feet on the ledge and pulled back, pulling man and Stand towards the other. Bruno felt himself slipping, so with one arm he reached to his other and zipped it open.
Blake stared on as a shard of glass fell out of the zipper in Bruno's arm. His Stand plucked it out of his hand and flew forward, slicing the rope of the Gambol Shroud clean in half. Both Bucciarati and Blake fell backwards on their backs. Blake had lost her blade, while Bucciarati had a new tool at his disposal. She, however, still possessed the pistol part of her weapon. Without missing a beat, Blake rolled to her feet and opened fire on Bucciarati.
The Stand user rolled out of the way and took cover behind an AC unit, which took most of the force. The faunus drew closer and closer before she vaulted over to see that Bruno wasn't there, and instead a zipper had disappeared. She stamped her foot and waited for Bucciarati's next move, which was to appear behind her and ready his attack.
Unluckily for him, she had heard him and spun around, kicking him towards the ledge of the roof. Sticky Fingers caught him from falling over, but as he went to retaliate, an Ice dust bullet hit is foot, anchoring him in place. Finding himself in yet another predicament, Bucciarati found himself being rushed by Blake once more.
He quickly moved, placing a zipper around his calve and disconnecting it from his foot, freeing him from the trap. Moving quickly, Sticky Fingers reached out and yanked Blake's end of the Gambol shroud and used a zipper to reconnect it to the end Bucciarati had. Then Bucciarati himself tripped her up, allowing his Stand to wrap the rope around her neck as she went over the side of the building.
Sticky Fingers grabbed the blade end of the Gambol Shroud and anchored it in the ground by closing a zipper on it. Blake attempted to catch herself on the ledge, but the Stand user gave her an extra push. She fell over the side and was hung by her own weapon, shattering her aura as she rested against a window.
Bruno sighed as he worked to free his foot form the ice and was able to reconnect it to his leg.
"I must hide the evidence." he thought to himself as his Stand unanchored the Gambol Shroud, but as it did, it was yanked from his hand and pulled over the side of the building. Bucciarati ran to the ledge and looked down, Blake was not there, but he did see a footprint on the windowsill below.
She was able to get a foot on the window to prevent herself from choking to death, and she snuck into the room by opening it. The Stand user took a step back from the ledge and turned, spotting the faunus walking out from the stairwell doorway.
"Impressive." Bucciarati thought to himself as he was shot through the shoulder with a fire dust bullet, singing the inside and boiling his blood. He grasped his shoulder as he ducked behind a small radio tower. But as Blake got closer, her blade grew brighter as Gravity Dust began to empower it, and she sliced right through the tower, catching Bucciarati's arm and spraying blood.
He gritted his teeth and looked over his shoulder to the canals below, spotting an entrance to the sewer system, and made the decision to jump off into the water. Blake followed in hot pursuit as the battle drew closer to the finale.
Bucciarati his the waves, but broke into a paddle to reach the sewer entrance as quickly as he can. Blake landed above the sewer entrance and blocked the path of the Stand user, the Gambol Shroud glowing brightly once more as she brought it down on top of him. Sticky Fingers pulled him out of the way, the blade embedding itself in the ground from the blow. Bucciarati bolted into the sewer, but Blake's kusarigama wrapped around his legs, tripping him.
"You think you're a great person, Bucciarati?" Blake questioned as he worked to free himself from the weapon, "You assist the mafia in peddling drugs! You're ruining this beautiful city!"
Bucciarati stopped and looked down at his feet.
"I've witnessed this gang I work for attack my father, and I'm certain it has assisted in his death." he said solemnly. He slowly looked up to Blake and glared at her. "I'm not working my way through the ranks of the mafia because I enjoy what I do."
Sticky Finger's arms extended and hit the far wall of the sewer, placing a zipper from a sewer grate to where the two adversaries stood. Blake's eyes widened and she attempted to shoot Bruno in the head, but he rolled out of harms way and towards her to grab her by both her legs. Sticky Fingers grabbed the zipper and pulled both Bucciarati and Blake along the ground towards the grate.
Blake panicked and fired blindly, the bullet catching Bruno in the head. He slumped, Sticky Fingers disappeared as well. She sighed and stood up, limping towards the entrance of the sewer, feeling victorious.
plink
She froze, that had to have been the sound of a bullet dropping to the ground. Slowly, she turned towards Bucciarati's corpse, but rather than him being face down, he was at her waist wrapping his arms around her. Before she could react, Bruno suplexed her onto the sewer grate, and Sticky Fingers pushed her arm through a zipper and closed it, locking her in place.
The grate weighed her down, but she was able to stand up with it and attempt to bash Bucciarati with it, however he sidestepped and pushed her against the sewer wall, and Sticky Fingers locked her other arm into the wall with a zipper. Blake collapsed to a knee as the weight of the grate was holding her down, and her arm was now stuck in the wall.
"I'm in the mafia to help protect the citizens from the drug trade."
Sticky Fingers rushed forward and slammed its fists into Blake repeatedly, the mere punches drawing blood from her.
"ARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARI" it cried, landing blow after blow on Blake, cracking bone and rupturing organs with each punch.
"ARRIVEDERCI!" yelled Bruno as Sticky Fingers slammed Blake in the head, placing a zipper vertically around her skull and split it in half.
KO!
Sticky Fingers stomped Blake's brain and messily pulled its foot out. Her body slumped, stuck in the sewer system. Bucciarati sighed and made his way towards the sewer entrance, the birds chirping in the distance.

Boomstick: Holy SHIT!
Wiz: This was a very back and forth battle through and through. Both Bucciarati and Blake were experienced fighters with a knack for using their abilities to their limit to throw off foes who were superior to them, but they had some clear differences.
Boomstick: Blake held a hefty advantage in raw power too, and the versatility of her Semblance and weapon would've definitely made things super hard for Bucciarati even though the speed advantage he had was massive. And although Bucciarati's reactions far reached past the speed of light, his movement speed was dwarfed by Blakes, so she would've certainly been able to keep the pressure on him.
Wiz: What this fight came down to was Blake's Semblance versus Sticky Fingers. Blake's clones, specifically her ice clone would've screwed Bucciarati over as it would've left her the perfect opportunity to slice him down, but Sticky Fingers was the perfect counter to this.
Boomstick: Being able to separate objects using zippers is surprisingly useful when you're caught in an ice sculpture and a cat lady is trying to kill you with death rope.
Wiz: Bruno needed to sneak away to reposition himself? He could travel through the ground with Sticky Fingers to avoid Blake's heightened senses. Blake's weapon being a pain in the ass? He could just dismantle it given the chance.
Boomstick: And while Blake could possibly see Sticky Fingers due to Aura and Stands being very similar in nature, there's no way she would've been able to touch it due to it being intangible.
Wiz: Speaking of Aura, that's where Blake falters in her abilities. Aura is what allows Blake and other characters from RWBY take as much damage as they can, because without it they become susceptible to more significant damage. Each hit they take depletes it, and every time they use their Semblance it depletes by just a little.
Boomstick: So while Blake could throw Bruno off with her clones and weapon choice, his speed alone could make up the difference and rapidly deplete Blake's Aura. But like that even matters because his zippers can deconstruct anything he wants to. If he really felt like it, he could've just killed Blake the instant the fight began.
Wiz: Blake may have had the capabilities to overpower Bucciarati, but his speed and abilities disallowed her from being able to do so.
Boomstick: Now we know that cats only have one life after all, and we have Bruno to thank for zipping that one up.
Wiz: The winner is Bruno Bucciarati.
