Interlude[]
(Cue Wiz and Boomstick - DEATH BATTLE Theme)
Ayden: Power is an essential factor needed to accomplish your goals and can be used to save lives.
Sun: However sometimes, Power is a dangerous thing for people to wield and can often be abused causing nothing but pain and suffering.
Ayden: However with these two Combatants, they have chosen to use the Power they wield for their own goals.
Sun: Like with Jin Kazama, the Child of Destiny.
Ayden: And like with Cinder Fall, the Fall Maiden.
Sun: He's Ayden and I'm Sun!
Ayden: And it's our job to analyze their Armor, Weapons, and Skills too find out who would win...
Sun: A DEATH BATTLE!
Jin Kazama (Credit to Nkstjoa)[]
(*cues Tekken 4 - Fetus or Tekken 5 - Neonatal*)
Wiz: In the world of Tekken, the King of Iron Fist Tournament plays host to fighters across the globe, each vying to prove their skills. One of these contestants who would go on to be the victor was a man named Kazuya Mishima.
Boomstick: Are we talking about the right martial artist?
Wiz: Patience, Boomstick. Kazuya played host to the 2nd tournament, in which he came across the ecological fighter Jun Kazama.
Boomstick: A hippie I wouldn't mind dating. Jun went after Kazuya after sensing an evil power within him, but then, well... she ended up carrying his child, so you do the math.
Wiz: This child of destiny was Jin Kazama.
Boomstick: Why not Jin Mishima? Well his pappy wasn't around due to coming down with a bad case of being thrown into a volcano, so Jun was forced to raise Jin on her own.
Wiz: Jin lived out most of his life on the Ōsumi Island Yakushima in relative peace along with his mother.
Boomstick: His hobbies included learning his mother's Kazama style martial arts... and forest bathing. Then when he turned 15, he learned of his father's lineage and ran into an alien... and not in the pet alien E.T. kind of way.
(*cues Tekken Tag Tournament Arcade - Ogre*)
Wiz: This being was Ogre, the ancient God of Fighting. Jin stood his ground to defend his mother, but was completely outmatched and knocked out cold. He awoke to find his home in ruins and his mother missing... possibly dead.
Boomstick: Jin sought out the only remaining family he knew of... Heihachi Mishima, his grandfather and the head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, who ran the Iron Fist tournament itself. Now wait a minute, why didn't Jun just tell him about the other Kazama who raised Asuka Kazama, his half-sister... HALF-SISTER?!
Wiz: Asuka is a unspecified relative of Jin's, not his half-sister. That was a mistranslation. Moving on, Heihachi happily took Jin under his wing, training him in the Mishima-Ryu fighting style and even enrolling him in high school.
Boomstick: Five years later, the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 was announced and Ogre showed up for it... okay, how did he even enter? Did they, like, send him an invitation?
(*cues Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - Jin Kazama - Far East Mix*)
Wiz: Here, Jin finally showcased his fighting talents, utilizing his grandfather's martial arts teachings to make his way through the ranks, becoming one of the world's finest.
Boomstick: Strangely, his fighting style completely matched his pappy's, at least until he took up traditional karate and combined it with his mother's techniques, forging a style of his very own.
Wiz: Jin's arsenal includes a plethora of fast and hard hitting punches and kicks, as well as several stances and feigns.
Boomstick: And while some crossovers portray Jin as being capable of launching projectiles, he is a close-range fighter first and foremost. He sends foes flying backwards with moves like his Double Chamber Punch, three hit combos like Demon's Paw and Evil Intent and knocks them into the air with the Double Lift Kick.
Wiz: His Kazama Style Turning Leg Strike can also launch opponents while absorbing a hit, and his Median Line Destruction unleashes five rapid punches to break defenses and stagger. He can also negate strikes with the Power Stance...
Boomstick: Or it make his next hit... uh, hit harder. Then there's Mental Alertness, which is a stance where he steps backwards and can unleash six different attacks. Everything from punching, uppercutting, and tripping to a freakin' flying kick!
Wiz: He can also perform a running duck, enabling him multiple options, including the Electric Wind Hook Fist and the Lunging Low Roundhouse Kick, which can be followed up with the Spinning Flare Kick...
Boomstick: Where he makes you think he's gonna kick you, then launches himself at you for a two-leg blow. In fact, Jin's style is pretty good at pressuring opponents by making them wonder just what he's gonna do next. But if he wants to really bring down their health bar at the cost of predictability, there's the super-charged Avenger punch.
Wiz: Jin finally made it to the last opponent of the tournament, Ogre, and through a hard-fought bout, was victorious.
(*cues Tekken Blood Vengeance - Death*)
Boomstick: Finally slaying his mother's "maybe, maybe not" killer once and for all. BUUUT then he was fired upon by a firing squad and shot point-blank in the head by Heihachi, who had used Jin the whole time just to lure out Ogre. Ain't that a kick in the head?
Wiz: But this act of betrayal awoke a dark dormant power deep within Jin: the Devil Gene. Passed on to Jin while Jun was still pregnant, his mother had managed to fight off the Devil within her son.
Boomstick: But I guess a bullet to the head kinda gave it the one-up it needed or something, so Jin grew wings, got a few tattoos without his parent's permission, and flew far away from his homicidal grandfather.
Wiz: Realizing the evil within his blood, as well as the deeds of the Mishima family, Jin escaped to Brisbane, Australia, where he trained under a dojo master to unlearn the Mishima-Ryu.
Boomstick: How the hell do you unlearn a fighting style?
Wiz: Focus!
(*cues Tekken 5 - Antares at 33 seconds*)
Wiz: And while his original intent was to destroy the Mishima bloodline, he soon realized he could not control the Devil Gene, which threatened to take over him.
Boomstick: Granted, Jin can sometimes draw on its power to enhance his attacks and perform a few different moves, but if he gets too overwhelmed, he can transform into his delightfully devilish alter ego... Devil Jin.
Wiz: In exchange for loss of control, Jin gains a plethora of new techniques, as well as flight and a third eye...
Boomstick: Which shoots freakin' laser beams! He can fire it straight, fire it from below, rain down on a downed opponent with it, or if he really wants to wreck someone, he tosses them into the air and fires a continuous beam with Obliteration.
Wiz: He can launch opponents upward with a single uppercut and with proper timing can parry attacks by pushing foes back with a burst of energy.
(*cues Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - Opening Theme at 8 seconds*)
Boomstick: And did we mention Jin has super moves? Well he does. In normal Jin form, he can go for a four hit combination... or just let loose with SEVENTEEN punches.
Boomstick: As Devil Jin, he can do three hits or straight up knock them into the air, fly into them five times, then laser them to death.
(*1:06*)
Wiz: Jin has more than proved himself as one of the best fighters in the Tekken universe. He's won two King of Iron Fist tournaments, taken down scores of Tekken Force members, and defeated Heihachi in battle.
Boomstick: And that was AFTER he defeated scumbag dad Kazuya. And in the next tournament, he beat his great-grandfather Jinpachi, who happened to be resurrected and taken over by an evil spirit. Damn, he's ripped... and is that a giant mouth under his chest?!
Wiz: After taking control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Jin learned of a threat capable of destroying the world: Azazel, the Rectifier of All Things.
(*cues Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection - Hall of Fate ~Resurrection~ or Street Fighter X Tekken - Tekken Mid Boss at 11 seconds*)
Boomstick: Azazel was made from humanity's sins and may have possibly been where the Devil Gene began in the first place, so Jin decided to lure him out... by starting World War III!
Wiz: The negative energy created by the death and destruction caused by the Mishima Zaibatsu's war with... well, the world, successfully caused Azazel to physically materialize.
Boomstick: And when Azazel fired beams at him, Jin didn't even care: they just bounced off him as he ran in for a single punch... which went straight through Azazel's chest as they fell down into a giant hole. Then an explosion went off underground and a beam of light shot upward. And he survived. Damn.
Wiz: Unfortunately for Jin, Azazel's death did not free him from the Devil Gene.
Boomstick: Yeah, that and being a war criminal made it a pretty bad day for him.
Wiz: Despite his impressive tournament record, Jin is not undefeated. He lost a battle to the Taekwondo fighter Hwoarang, as well as a two-on-one against the Tekken Force defector Lars and the intelligence agent Raven.
Boomstick: Sure, but that's only two official losses in the entire series, and Jin's never lost a match with his Devil form... which destroyed an entire forest! With or without the Devil Gene, hero or anti-hero, Jin Kazama is one of the best karate practitioners in fighting game history... and that's not bad for a guy who turned 21.
(*music ends*)
Jin: It's fine. (*pauses*) This curse, the Devil Gene...
He begins to get up, then stands alongside Xiaoyu.
Jin: I will find a way to break free. I won't give up!
Cinder Fall[]
(Cue The Next Step Pt. 1 - RWBY: Volume 4)
Sun: The Seasonal Maidens… Hosts of unimaginable power that are said to be that of the physical embodiment of the Four Seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter with each host of this power being hidden away to myth and legend in order to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.
Ayden: However the power of the Seasonal Fall Maiden wielded by a woman named Amber was eventually taken away after she was attacking by three people with half her power being taken.
Sun: Amber was in critical condition so the group members behind the Seasonal Maiden’s James Ironwood, Ozpin, Glynda Goodwitch, and Qrow Branwen had planned to transfer the remaining half of the Fall Maiden’s power to the Young Huntress-in-Training Pyrrha Nikos however tragedy soon struck.
Ayden: The same attackers had arrived to finish what they started and they had hacked the Atlesian Forces turning all of their Knights and Paladins against them as well as being aided by the White Fang lead by Adam Taurus performing an assault on Beacon Academy with the Headmaster Ozpin and Pyrrha Nikos attempting to transfer the rest of the Fall Maiden’s power to her.
Sun: However their plans were thwarted by a well placed arrow to the Amber’s heart…
Ayden: YOU HAD ONE FUCKING JOB JAUNE!!!
Sun: …And Amber was killed and the other half of the Fall Maiden’s Power went too Cinder Fall the woman who had reclaimed the full power of the Seasonal Fall Maiden and after defeating both Ozpin and Pyrrha Nikos looked to have won.
Ayden: However… That all came crashing down on her when Ruby Rose had awakened her Silver Eyes power which not only defeated her but left Cinder heavily injured heavily scarred such as forcing her to cover her now missing left eye with a black mask, supposed taking her arm, and even losing her ability to speak needing her subordinate Emerald to speak for her in some instances.
Sun: But Cinder soon began to recover and train with the Fall Maiden’s Power with multiple goals claim the Relic hidden within Haven Academy, claim the other Fall Maiden’s power, and her more personal goal… Find and get revenge on Ruby Rose.
(Cue Divide - RWBY: Volume 3)
Ayden: Cinder is without a doubt a skilled, cunning, ruthless, and dangerous combatant in her own right being capable of takings some of the Strongest and Toughest combatants on Remnant and not only hold her own but manage to come out victorious and after obtaining the power of the Seasonal Fall Maiden became a force to be reckoned with.
Sun: Cinder has shown to be skilled in unarmed combat being able to take down multiple Atlesian Soldiers on her own and didn’t even draw her weapons until two of them drew their swords on her, beat two of them while in an elevator and even to hold her own and best Pyrrha Nikos without using her weapons as well.
Ayden: Cinder is actually quite strong being able to casually throw an Atlesian Soldier with relatively ease.
Sun: Cinder is also pretty fast being able to run incredibly fast and close the distance between her and whoever she’s fighting with relatively ease, was shown to effortlessly dodge bullets, and when she obtained the full power of the Fall Maiden was even capable of keeping up with Ozpin and they were moving so fast that they were almost becoming blur’s and even keep up with Raven Branwen the Spring Maiden and they were moving so fast that they were blurs.
Ayden: Cinder is also quite skilled in the way of the Sword being able to take down two Atlesian Soldiers armed with swords, match Headmaster Ozpin blow for blow with her blades, overpower Jaune Arc with relative ease who, and even managed to hold her own against Raven Branwen who was said to be equal to her brother Qrow Branwen.
Sun: Cinder also poses a large amount of impressive accuracy being able to fire arrows with impressive aim and precision as well as throw a spear and hit Weiss Schnee when she was a couple of feet away from her position.
Ayden: and like all other characters in RWBY, Cinder has access to an Aura. An Aura is a manifestation of one’s soul and grants the users a wide range of abilities and Cinder has shown incredible control in regards to her using her aura defensively being able to block multiple bullets fire from Crescent Rose a High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe.
Sun: Cinder also possess’ incredible skill in manipulating Dust being capable of turning a cloud of dust into glass shards and launch them like projectiles as being capable of doing it with ordinary dirt but her weapon of choice reflects her skill in Dust Manipulation.
Ayden: Cinder’s weapon is actually dust-created and glass-based weapon that Cinder can form into numerous types of sword based forms with the first form being a set of two glass blades that Cinder dual-wields with excellent skill and can even ignite the blades to be lit ablaze for extra damage, she can form a bow and fire arrows that are capable of exploding upon impact, a scimitar, a spear, and even a large two handed sword that’s set ablaze.
Sun: Cinder also has shown to wear clothing that have Dust sewn into them enabling her to utilize it and manipulate is as well to either manifest her swords or change her outfit entirely and she can also utilize the dust in offensive way by firing blasts of fire from it as well or create pulse waves of flames that are capable of burning everything within its path.
(Cue Lusus Naturae - RWBY: Grimm Eclipse)
Ayden: But Cinder’s main advantage is the Power she wields thanks to the Fall Maiden which while the full extent of their abilities is currently unknown, what Cinder has shown is the ability to the ability to levitate and even fly by propelling herself with flames, it’s also worth noting that Cinder also has the ability to create and control the elements.
Sun: Cinder most commonly the used element is Flames in which she can use in a variety of ways: Cinder is capable of creating blasts of fire that even when blocked can leave remains that can be detonated into geysers of flames, cause multiple geyser’s of flame to erupt below her opponents, ignite her swords on fire, dragged her hands along and floor and turned it to lava and generated glass shard from the, and even fire torrents of flames either it be basic one handed ones or full power blast that looks like something out of Dragon Ball Z with her control and power being so great that she could make her flames precise slashes that are capable of cutting clean through multiple beowolfs and possess enough power to kill a Beringel with a single fireball.
Ayden: The previous Fall Maiden, Amber was capable of telekinetically controlling leaves and freezing them turning them into pretty deadly projectiles, manipulates the weather bringing down bolts of lightning to strike her targets, and the maidens can even use elements not limited to their season as demonstrated by Raven Branwen the Spring Maiden who was not only using Lightning but was also utilizing Ice although while Cinder has never shown this outside of fire it is more than likely that she can do the same as Amber and Raven.
Sun: What’s more is that power of the Maiden’s is separate from her Aura but if you think Cinder’s down than your wrong than she’s got one more trick, she’s Nero from Devil May Cry 4!
Ayden: I swear… first Adam Taurus ripped off Vergil and did a fail cosplay and now Cinder’s trying to cosplay poorly as Nero.
Sun: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Ayden: You done?
Sun: (Wipes tears from eyes) Yeah.
Ayden: Anyway, Cinder’s left arm has been replaced with that of Grimm Arm and this arm is quite superior to her original one as it posses claws that are strong enough to pierce the Vernal and impale in the stomach, is capable of stretching to incredible lengths, has enough strength to slam someone against an iron gate and cause it to bend, and her Grimm Arm is also capable of absorbing the powers of other Seasonal Maiden’s as demonstrated during her fight with Raven Branwen.
(Cue "C" Is For Cinder - RWBY: Volume 5)
Sun: With all of this and the power of the Fall Maiden, Cinder has accomplished some damn well impressive stuff; She is capable of holding her own against Glynda Goodwitch with only Half of the Fall Maiden’s power and dust, she is capable of catching off guard and push back Ruby Rose in a brief, defeated a camp of White Fang Soldiers along with Emerald and Mercury, defeated Amber the Previous Fall Maiden with Emerald and Mercury, defeated Atlesian Soldiers with ease, effortlessly overpowered Jaune Arc but her two greatest feats are her defeating and “killing” Headmaster Ozpin of Beacon Academy who was also the Wizard that granted the Maiden their power and defeating as killing Pyrrha Nikos who was not only the Mistral Regional Tournament Champion Four Years in a Row but also the next candidate to inherit the power of the Fall Maiden.
Ayden: With all of this Cinder is without a doubt a very lethal and dangerous opponent however she is not perfect and has a lot of major faults and drawbacks.
Sun: Aura despite how much punishment it can enable the user to take is limited and can run out causing the next attack she takes to deal very serious damage, her Grimm Arm due to its nature is not protected by her aura and can be damaged, Cinder can be overconfident and somewhat sadistic against opponents weaker than her, her temper can also be pretty explosive when things catch her off guard, she can be outsmarted as demonstrated by Raven Branwen, her desire for revenge against Ruby Rose has began to affect her better judgment making.
Ayden: Also stated by Salem, Cinder has gained a vulnerability to the power of Silver-Eyed Warriors and her first encounter with the power of it left her heavy injured and scarred and the fact that Silver-Eyed Warriors are effective against Grimm… With Cinder’s left arm now being that of a Grimm Arm.
Sun: Despite these weaknesses Cinder is without a doubt one opponent that you do not to mess with especially if you are in her way for power.
Cinder: It's unfortunate you were promised a power that was never truly yours. But take comfort in knowing that I will use it in ways you would never had imagined.
DEATH BATTLE[]
Ayden: The Combatants are set, time to settle this debate once and for all.
Sun: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!
Ghost's Note: Jin's sentence are written in italics as he is speaking Japanese.
Haven Academy, Grand Hall
(Cue Hello Leonardo... - RWBY: Volume 5)
Nothing but silence filled the Grand Hall however that silence was soon broken as a woman wearing a black mask on the left side of her face red dress with a long red sleeve concealing her left arm while the right one was revealed while a boy with Silver-Gray colored hair and a girl with Mint Green colored hair stepped forward followed by a man with gray colored hair and beard and what looked like a Lion’s tail swinging behind him.
This Woman was Cinder Fall and along with her was her two subordinates Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai as well as Leonardo Lionheart, the Headmaster of Haven Academy as well as Salem’s format. She looked around the Grand Hall and saw that it was empty which soon prompted her to step down the stairs and stand in front of the statue.
“Leo. Open the path to the vault.” Cinder ordered and Leo nervously stepped forward in front of the statue and proceeded to take out his pocket watch and placed it within a small niche on the statue which caused the hand on the watch to begin gradually spinning faster as the statue lowered and the Statue soon lowered completely revealing the platform.
“What of Vernal and Raven Branwen?” Leo asked however Cinder simply smiled at the question.
“Her brothers and the children with him have not arrived yet, besides Branwen can simply transport herself inside along with the Spring Maiden through her semblance.” Cinder answered and she moved to step on the platform however, she paused and stopped herself at an unknown sound suddenly being heard.
“What’s that noise?!” Leo asked slightly panicked having not known if this was a sign that Qrow, Ruby, and the others had arrived or not.
“It sounds like… a Motorcycle?” Mercury said rather confused and Cinder looked forward at the entrance of the Grand Hall as the sound that she could indeed identify as a Motorcycle only began to grow louder and louder prompting Emerald and Mercury to move towards the entrance cautiously however Leo remained behind however Cinder glared at him with her right eye emitting a small spark of flames which prompted the Headmaster to move forward out of fear for his life.
The three of them finally reached the entrance as the sound grew even louder than before which prompted Emerald to draw her revolvers while Leo activated his and Mercury assuming his combat stance however before any of them could act let alone react, the door suddenly broke open only to see the back of Hazel Rainart as he flew backward and crashed into Leo knocking him away and down to the ground while a large black motorcycle landed on the ground and swerved in a circle striking Mercury hard with the back of the vehicle and then proceeded to strike Emerald with the back of it as well before driving forward at Cinder.
Cinder’s eye narrowed as she saw the rider was wearing a hood and she swung her arm in an upwards arc launching a blade of fire forward at the attacker however they quickly leapt high into the air as the blade of fire struck the Motorcycle slicing it in half down the middle and watched as each half of it flew past her crashing into the wall however she immediately turned her attentions up into the air as the rider of the Motorcycle pulled his arm back and punched downwards prompting Cinder to leapt to the side dodging the strike as it collided with the floor destroying it as a red burst of lightning erupted.
(Cue Laxus Run Wild - Fairy Tail)
This was Jin Kazama and he pulled his fist out of the floor and slowly stood as he looked towards Cinder, with the Fall Maiden looking at him curiously however Jin did not return the same attention as he looked towards the platform as that was what would take him to his objective.
“Oh? And you are?” Cinder asked however Jin ignored her and instead walked towards the platform only to leap back dodging a stream of flames that landed in front of the platform creating a wall and blocking his path forcing him to turn his attention to Cinder who held her sleeved arm aimed at the Platform as flames were emitting from her eyes.
“Don’t get in my way.” Jin warned however this caused Cinder to smile; this man was not with Qrow or Ruby however he was obviously aware of the platform leading to the vault that contained the Relic and while Cinder didn’t know where his allegiance lied… He made it clear that he was an enemy.
“Whoever you are, you are aware of the Relic’s existence and you posses something… Different.” Cinder said as she could feel something coming from Jin however instead of answering, Jin simply balled his hands into a fist tightly as his arms surged with red electricity prompting Cinder to smile as Jin raised his arm and adjusted his gauntlet as he looked at Cinder.
“You’re wasting my time. I have no reason to kill you here. If you don't want to die, I suggest you disappear, quickly.” Jin warned however instead, Cinder simply scoffed at the warning before firing a ball of flames at Jin however much to her surprise; Red Lightning surged up Jin’s arm as he pulled it back and delivered a powerful straight punch to the fireball destroying it.
It was clear to Cinder that this man wasn’t a Huntsman and he wasn’t with Qrow or Raven so it wasn’t the leader of the tribe betraying her however it was clear that he was dangerous and that he was after the Relic, she looked over to see that Mercury and Emerald were unconscious while Leonardo was pinned down under a unconscious Hazel as well causing Cinder to sigh.
“Well then, allow me to show you the mistake that you have made.” Cinder said as she held her hand out in front of her as flames manifested from it however the flames soon formed into a Scimitar that looked to be made of glass and fired with Cinder entering a combat stance.
(Cue Dark Skies - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance)
“Prepare yourself... This is the end for you.” Jin said as he entered his signature stance as red lightning surged around him and Jin crouched a bit before leaping forward at Cinder kicking at the Fall Maiden.
Announcer: Fight!
Cinder side-stepped dodging the kick from Jin however the Martial Artist immediately spun around to face Cinder as she swung her sword at him however Jin dodged each strike and blocked the ones that he couldn’t dodge before immediately delivering two quick jabs too Cinder and delivered spinning hook kick striking the Fall Maiden and sending her stumbling back with Cinder immediately firing a blast of flames at Jin who immediately rolled to the side dodging it.
Jin stood up however he was immediately slashed by Cinder with her Scimitar sending him stumbling back however Cinder smiled darkly as she closed the distance swinging her blade and slashing Jin again causing him to stumble back again and moved to strike again however Jin immediately dodged the strike delivering two hard punches too Cinder countering the strike before delivering a double lift kick to Cinder knocking her into the air.
Jin watched as Cinder fell to the ground and began performing a series of punches and kicks that kept Cinder suspended in the air before performing a Leaping Side Kick and striking the Fall Maiden sending her flying and slamming along the ground, Jin immediately rushed forward however he was blocked off as several geysers of flames blocked his path forcing him to stop however he quickly dodged an arrow being fired at him through the flames causing him him to leap back.
Several arrows were fired through the wall of flames only for Jin to dodge each arrow as Cinder lunged forward swinging her Scimitar at Jin only for him to duck under the strike and proceeded to sweep kick to Cinder tripping her and quickly delivered a hard uppercut too her sending her spiraling into the air and down onto the ground, Cinder growled in frustration and looked up however she quickly raised her sword as Jin axe-kicked downwards at her causing the floor to crack.
Cinder pushed Jin’s foot back and leapt to her feet as her Scimitar morphed into a spear and she thrusted it forward at Jin’s head who dodged it however the spear pierced his hood and she pulled it back tearing the hood off from the rest of the outfit revealing his face, Cinder spun the spear swinging it rapidly at Jin only for him to dodge each strike before raising his right arm and blocking the strike causing the spear to shatter and he proceeded to grab Cinder’s arm then delivered two kicks to Cinder that flipped her onto the ground and proceeded to perform a side-axe kick to the Fall Maiden sending her sliding along the floor.
Jin remained on guard however he was suddenly hit with an eruption of flames strike him below causing him to yell out in agony as the flames dispersed and he fell to his knees, and he looked forward to see Cinder’s eyes emitting flames and she swung her hand prompting Jin to look down and see a burst of flames swirling behind him prompting him to run as multiple eruptions of flames shot out from the ground trying to hit the Martial Artist.
Jin continued running only to be struck by a ball of flames and being slammed against the staircase, Jin shook his head but immediately rolled back narrowly dodging another fireball fired from Cinder and quickly moved up the staircase as she continued firing several balls at him only for him to dodge each one as he moved up the staircase which prompted Cinder to leap forward and land on the staircase as she summoned two sets of swords lunging forward at Jin.
Cinder’s swords became engulfed in flames as she began swinging them rapidly at Jin who blocked and dodged each strike with each block causing a burst of fire and red electricity as Jin and Cinder moved to the upper walkway, Cinder continued swinging her blades at Jin only for him to continue block and he quickly delivered a hard straight punch forward at Cinder however she leapt over him and slashed in across the back in causing Jin to growl in agony and before he could react he was suddenly launched forward by a torrent of flames sending him crashing again the wall.
Jin slowly got up and he looked forward as Cinder combined her swords forming a bow as three arrows formed in them and Cinder smirked darkly as she fired the arrows at Jin prompting him to quickly dodge them however an explosion of flames erupted from the arrows engulfing Jin in it and Cinder’s smirk soon turned into a complete sadistic smile however that smile soon shifted as Cinder’s expression turned to one of shock as Jin leapt out of the flames and struck Cinder with a leaping sidekick sending her stumbling back.
Jin struck with Cinder with two punches before delivering a roundhouse kick sending her stumbling back however he did not let up as he immediately close the distance delivering a swift downwards sidekick and followed by a strong forward sidekick striking Cinder directly in the stomach and causing her to gasp for air as she was sent back even more with Jin noticing a glimpse of what looked like a shimmer of orange energy however Jin quickly focused on Cinder again as he struck her with a swift but hard punch to her left side striking her waist before quickly using the same arm to strike her quickly on the head before ending the attack with a hard kick knocking the Fall Maiden back against one of the banisters on the walkway.
(Cue Lusus Naturae - RWBY: Grimm Eclipse)
Cinder shook her head as she recovered from the daze that the strikes left her in and she looked forward to see Jin in front of her as he crouched and delivered a powerful powerful forward punch to Cinder’s stomach sending her breaking through the banister and falling back down to the lower levels however she quickly recovered and landed on the floor looking up towards Jin only to see him descending with his arm pulled back and red electricity surged through his arm as he punched at Cinder only for her to dodge the strike as the punch damaged the floor beneath them.
Cinder lunged at Jin swinging her sword at him and slashed him along her shoulder and he gripped it as Cinder swung her swords again at him however Jin quickly blocked the strike with his gauntlets causing a burst of flames and red electricity as Cinder’s blade shattered causing and Jin immediately used the opportunity to strike Cinder with an Avenger however what happened next caught him off guard.
Cinder caught the punch with her sleeved left hand and Jin watched as the the lightning destroyed the sleeve revealing a black skeleton like arm grafted onto what was left of a severed human one with the black skeleton emitting a black like mist.
“What?!” Jin said in in shock however he was unaware of Cinder smirking as she swung her Grimm Arm to the side which stretched forward swinging Jin as well sending him slamming against multiple support beams holding up the upper walkway destroying them, Cinder continued swinging Jin around and crashing through multiple support beams before she threw him into a section of the upper walk away causing him to crash into it and collapse on top of him.
“Hmph, is that all you are capable of?” Cinder taunted and watched as Jin stood up from the debris and stepped forward, he looked at his tattered jacket and grabbed part of it before tearing it off leaving him shirtless and revealing his Devil Gene mark on his arm as he assumed his stance once again as Cinder glared at him and she out-stretched her Grimm Arm grabbing one of the destroyed support beams and as Jin charged forward at her threw it at him however he quickly leapt onto the beam and ran along it before leaping at Cinder and kicking her sending her crashing against the side of the staircase.
Jin lunged at her throwing a series of punches that Cinder quickly blocked, countered, and deflected with each hit she used the opening that was briefly created to strike Jin and eventually she summoned another sword and slashed Jin across the chest leaving a slash/burn mark as he stumbled back and Cinder used this to outstretch her arm Grimm Arm forward impaling Jin in the stomach with its claws and as he was being pushed back fired a blast of flames point black launching Jin away.
Cinder smirked as she retracted her Grimm Arm while Jin slid along the floor too a stop kneeling down and gripping his stomach which prompted Cinder to fly forward at Jin however he quickly stood and assumed a stance as Cinder approached him.
The moment Cinder had reached Jin, he punched forward striking Cider directly in the head stunning her as he delivered one punch to her with his right fist which was soon followed by another strike with his left and he proceeded to delivered a series of rapid punch to Cinder who was unable to do defend against it.
“Feel the fury!” Red electricity surged through Jin’s arm as he punched forward striking Cinder with a powerful blow which caused a burst of red electricity upon impact that send Cinder crashing against the platform leading to the vault.
“What in the?!?!” Nora said in absolute shock as they all looked around at the destruction as well as Mercury, Emerald, Hazel, and Leo regaining consciousness however Qrow, Ruby, Yang, and Weiss had their attention aimed at Jin who was looking back at them however he kept his gaze on Ruby who in turn returned the gaze keeping her hand on Crescent Rose.
Jin suddenly punched forward causing a ball of flames to disperse into embers as Jin looked forward and broke out into a sprint towards her as she fired several blasts of flames at him however Jin quickly dodged each one before leaping at Cinder and punching the platform causing it to collapse and rapidly descend down into the vault.
“What the hell was with that guy?!” Qrow questioned having not been sure on whether Jin was on their side or not.
“And why was he wearing Sun’s Gauntlets?!” Weiss questioned. “Let’s worry about it later! We gotta stop them!” Yang said however as she was immediately struck and knocked away by Mercury

The Lift fell at a rapidly increasing speed prompting Jin to leap off as it crashed into the floor with Jin landing on the floor in a kneeling pose (Superhero Landing) and slowly stood up looking behind him at the destroyed gate and lift before looking forward seeing the Chamber that contained the Relic of Knowledge and began approaching the door.
However Jin’s attention was quickly drawn to the sound of something moving from the lift and he quickly turned around only for his eyes to widen as his he felt a sharp and burning sensation pierce his chest and he looked down to see a spear made of glass and fire impaled into him and he looked forward falling to his knees as Cinder walked out of the wreckage with blood dripping down the right side of her face over her eye.
“I am truly curious as to how you knew of the Relic’s existence however you can take comfort in knowing that Relic will be used in ways you could never have imagined.” Cinder said as she formed her bow and aimed it downwards at Jin’s head with an arrow forming as well with the Fall Maiden pulling it back and firing.
Cinder smirked as the arrow struck Jin directly in his forehead and his eyes widened as blood dripped down his head and Cinder placed her hand under Jin’s chin and lifted his head up too look him in the eyes however her eyes widened in shock instead at what she was seeing.
(Cue Antares (Cathedral) - Tekken 5)
Jin was now emitting a dark purple causing the spear in his chest and arrow in his head shatter causing Cinder to leap back firing several arrows at Jin however the arrows were immediately destroyed much to Cinder’s shock.
“WHAT?!” Cinder yelled in shock as Jin stood in an almost dangerous way and her eyes widened further at what she saw.
Jin’s chest now had black tattoo like markings on his chest, his gauntlets had changed now having a more demonic appearance with a single spike protruding from his forearms, his fingers gaining a more skeleton like, chains were now wrapped around his waist, right arm, as well as his left leg and he now had horns on each side of his head, however the most prominent features were to pitch black wings protruding from Jin’s back.
Jin looked forward at Cinder revealing he now had black tattoo markings on his face as well and on his forehead was a single red eye.
This was not Jin Kazama, this was Devil Jin.
Cinder looked at Devil Jin in shock and quickly raised arms in defense as he let out a roar and suddenly released a burst of purple energy causing the entire vault to begin shaking as well as knocking Cinder back before she stabbed her bow into the ground causing her to slow to a stop and she looked forward to see Devil Jin who had now turned his attention to Cinder.
“Do you think that is going to be enough to make me afraid of YOU?!” Cinder yelled as she fired a torrent of flames at him only for Devil Jin to fire aHellfire Blast from the third eye on his forehead causing the attacks to clash however Cinder’s flames were quickly overpowered and she was only able to barely dodge the laser as it struck the wall behind her destroying it and she looked at Devil Jin almost enraged.
“I WILL TEACH YOU THE MEANING OF FEAR!” Devil Jin roared as he spread his wings and flew forward at Cinder whose eye began emitting flames as she summoned her swords and flew forward as well with both of them striking each other causing their attacks to clash in a burst of flames and red electricity.
Devil Jin roared as he overpowered Cinder then grabbed the Fall Maiden by her neck and flew forward then slammed her against the wall and then flew upward dragging Cinder along the wall violently until Cinder fired a blast of flames at him forcing him to release her as he was knocked back by the attack and he looked forward at her as she fired several torrents of flames at him however Devil Jin quickly flew upwards dodging each torrent of flames as they struck the ceiling causing multiple rocks from the ceiling to begin falling.
Devil Jin landed on one of the falling rocks and looked forward as Cinder flew into the air and landed on the rock as she looked forward summoning two of her swords and quickly rushed forward at Devil Jin who did the same.
Cinder swung her swords at Devil Jin who immediately blocked the strikes at delivered two punches before spinning around and delivering a third one to the Fall Maiden dazing her and Devil Jin quickly flipped forward kicking slamming his foot down on Cinder’s head and slamming her down onto the ground and he flew up into the air and flew downward at an incredible speed slamming into Cinder and cinder her through the rock causing it to shatter.
Cinder immediately stopped herself midair and flew forward Devil Jin firing several blasts of flames that the Demon quickly countered by firing a Hellfire Blast from his Third Eye destroying all of them with a Red Laser and looked forward at Cinder only for his neck to be grabbed by her Grimm Arm and sent slamming against the wall causing Cinder to smirk as she flew forward with a sword ready however Devil Jin grabbed the arm’s wrist and tightened his grip with a large amount of force causing Cinder to yell out in pain as she let go of Devil Jin and recalled the arm causing Devil Jin too smirk as he Cinder reached him and swung her sword at him.
Devil Jin caught the blade and immediately crushed and proceeded to deliver a kick to Cinder knocking her back a bit as he flew forward in an upwards spiral grabbing Cinder and flew downwards slamming her down into the ground before firing an Infernal Destruction and Cinder the Fall Maiden sliding hard against the ground as she was struck by the laser.
Cinder slid to a stop and painfully looked forward only to see a familiar white masked woman clad in a red and black open the vault to the Relic and walk through it much to her shock as she realized who that person truly was however before she could do anything she rolled to the side as Devil Jin slammed into her previous position with a spiraling downwards kick prompting Cinder to stand and summon another sword.
Devil Jin pulled his arms back and put his hands close together as a orb of red electricity formed in it and as Cinder lunged forward at him, thrusted both his hands and the orb forward striking Cinder with a Demon’s Spear knocking her back however Cinder threw her sword forward causing it to pierce Devil Jin’s arm as he roared in pain, he grabbed the sword and pulled it out of his arm then crushing it.
Devil Jin looked forward and saw Cinder’s Grimm Arm being launched at him again however he quickly side stepped and lunged forward Cinder with a leaping side kick only for the Fall Maiden to dodge and leap into the air as she released a large explosion of flames that quickly formed around her in the shape of a sphere while Devil Jin crossed his arms in front of his face as a red light emitted from behind them.
Cinder fired a large blast of flames forward at Devil Jin who moved his arms and fired a Hellfire Blast in response causing the attacks to clash and as a result causing the entire vault to begin shaking from the resulting clash as the laser and the flame began pushing each other back and forth until an explosion erupted causing not only the entire vault to shake but the entire academy to shake as well.
Everything cleared and Cinder stood up too see Devil Jin kneeling and Cinder smirked darkly as she thrusted her Grimm Arm forward and causing it to stretch towards Devil Jin in an attempt to impale him through his head however before the strike could connect, Devil Jin suddenly caught it and stood up as Cinder tried to pull it back however she found herself unable to and Devil Jin fired a Hellfire Blast at Cinder which pierced her left shoulder and he jerked his head upwards causing the laser too curve upwards slicing the Fall Maiden’s Arm off from her torso.
Cinder yelled out in pain while Devil Jin watched as the Grimm Arm disintegrated into black mist however he looked past Cinder to see that the door containing the Relic of Knowledge was open and that the Relic was now gone.
“Hmph.” Devil Jin ignored the door and turned his attention back towards Cinder as he fired another Hellfire Blast this time in a horizontal motion aimed directly at Cinder’s waist and it struck causing Cinder’s eyes to widen as she coughed up blood meanwhile Devil Jin simply smirked as his arm surged with lightning.
Devil Jin moved forward spiraling three times in a crouching position until finally reaching Cinder and swung his arm upwards in a fierce and violent Dragon Uppercut striking Cinder and causing her upper torso to detach from her the rest of her body as a result of the Hellfire Blast and get launched into the air.
Devil Jin fired one final Hellfire Blast at the Upper half of Cinder’s Body causing it to be struck by the Laser continuously instead of piercing until finally… Cinder’s upper body exploded in an explosion of blood and gore leaving only a orange orb of energy that was the power of the Seasonal Fall Maiden.
The Seasonal Fall Maiden’s Power moved to leave as it was heading towards it’s new Host however it was suddenly pulled towards Devil Jin who had his outstretched and surging with Red Electricity until it finally went into his hand and was absorbed by him causing him to begin growling and snarling as a flame like aura began emitting from him as his Horn’s grew noticeable longer.
Devil Jin kneeled down and let out a roar causing and spread his wings releasing a burst of Orange and Purple energy as the entire vault began collapsing and he flew forward breaking through the vault ceiling and flying through the Grand Hall with RNJR, Qrow, Oscar, Yang, Weiss, Emerald, Mercury, Hazel, and Leonardo and broke through the ceiling.
“Ahhha...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!” Was the last thing they heard as the Grand Hall collapsed.

Conclusion[]
(Cue Jin Kazama - Tekken 3)
Sun: So… Jin Kazama and Devil Jin for Mortal Kombat when?
Ayden: At the start, this match was incredibly close with Cinder and Jin actually possessing advantages that matched the other and could’ve given either one of them the definitive win in this fight.
Sun: In terms of Martial Arts and Unarmed Combat; Jin far outclassed Cinder possessing numerous skills and a much more variety of moves courtesy of his mixture of Kyokushin Karate and Kazama Style Traditional Martial Arts which enabled him to put Cinder on the defensive with Jin possessing enough skill in Martial Arts to defeat the like of Jinpachi, True Ogre, Heihachi, and Kazuya.
Ayden: However in terms of Armed Combat; Cinder was far more skilled in Armed Combat and possessed a much more variety of weapons courtesy of her Weapons which she could easily change the shape of and freely manipulate at any given time and could even reform them in the event that they were broken by Jin something of which he couldn’t prevent or counter outside of breaking them again.
Sun: In terms of Strength; Cinder was outclassed… While with her Grimm Arm she was capable of slamming Raven against a metal gate with enough force to bend it however Jin has displayed much more impressive displays of feats with Jin’s punches being strong enough to launch opponents into the air, sent Heihachi into a wall with enough force to knock him through it, and can match strikes with Heihachi and Kazuya who both are strong enough to punch Jack-4s apart with relative ease, and even destroyed Azazel in one punch.
Ayden: In terms of Speed; Both Cinder and Jin were roughly equals with Cinder proving she was much faster than Ruby and is superior to the likes of Emerald and Mercury who are capable of reacting to and dodging Lightning launched at them by the previous Fall Maiden Amber while Jin is capable of keeping pace with the likes of Heihachi and Kazuya who can take on JACKs and even take on Lars who is fast enough to react to and deflect a missile.
Sun: In terms of Durability; while Cinder’s Aura was impressive, it paled in comparison to Jin’s Durability as Jin has survived Several Gunshots and a Point-Blank Gunshot to the head, has survived the explosion of a Helicopter while he was inside and caused it to explode while he was inside it, has taken blows from the likes of Heihachi, Lars, and Kazuya, as well as survived the explosion caused by Azazel which Jin was also responsible for causing.
Ayden: In terms of their abilities; Cinder far outclassed Jin courtesy of the Seasonal Maiden, she possessed a far more variety of attacks at her disposal than Jin such as control over Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Wind which offered Cinder more options of attacking and while she only ever uses fire it’s still more options that could even catch Jin by surprise though Jin could enhance the of his strikes with his electricity generation to deal more damage but it wasn’t enough to counter Cinders Fall Maiden Powers.
Sun: In terms of Intelligence; Cinder took it as while Jin did manage to plunge the world into a War, Cinder was capable of not only forming a Plan that enabled her to take back the powers of the Seasonal Fall Maiden but also bring down Beacon Academy and damage the Political and Societal system of Remnant just by forming a plan and even when that plan was damaged, she was still capable of salvaging the plan and executing receiving the results that she had desired still.
Ayden: So Jin had Strength, Unarmed Combat, and Durability while Cinder had Weaponry, Intelligence, Versatility, and Abilities with both being equal in speed.
Sun: With all of that it sounded like Cinder would be capable of taking a win with her advantages but… When you take Devil Jin into account, that’s where things head over to Jin’s favor tremendously.
Ayden: While Jin and Cinder were equals in Speed, Devil Jin gains a greater Mobility Advantage and while Cinder can fly she is not however as fast as Devil Jin when it comes to his flight which is capable of flying so fast that he is capable of flying out of Earth’s atmosphere in a matter of seconds and Devil Jin is even capable of incorporating this into combat.
Sun: Devil Jin is also capable of absorbing the energy of his opponents meaning that he could possibly absorb the Seasonal Fall Maiden’s Power from Cinder practically stripping her of her biggest advantages as well empowering himself far beyond anything Cinder has fought.
Ayden: Even if Devil Jin couldn’t absorb the power of the Seasonal Fall Maiden, he still possessed other abilities that could give Cinder trouble such as his Telekinesis which he’s displayed in his Victory Poses and even used in Hwoarang’s Tekken 5 ending to destroy his Motorcycle with relative ease.
Sun: And Devil Jin possessed far more Destructive Capacity than Cinder such as the time he leveled an entire Forest and destroyed an entire Wasteland after absorbing Jinpachi Powers by just SPREADING his Wings, and Devil Jin’s laser are capable of slicing clean through a temple and causing it to collapse in Tekken: Blood Vengeance which is far above any form of Destructive Power that Cinder has ever shown with the Seasonal Fall Maiden’s Powers.
Ayden: Also we know what some of you are saying “Tekken: Blood Vengeance isn’t canon” which is true as Katsuhiro Harada said so back in 2012 however in 2014 he had said that not everything in Blood Vengeance was Not-Canon and only a little was like “Half-Canon”.
Sun: Let’s go with the most logical assumption that what Harada means by "Half-Canon" is that anything in Blood Vengeance that doesn’t contradict the games is canon, while that form of Devil Jin contradicts what Jin/Devil Jin is capable of in the game… The Laser’s are another story.
Ayden: The Laser’s fired by Devil Jin in Blood Vengeance were capable of slicing down an entire temple which seems like a contradiction considering the Laser’s were curving and the Lasers have never shown that kind of power before however surprisingly enough this is not actually a contradiction.
Sun: The Laser’s fired by Devil Kazuya has shown that they are capable of curving during one of his attacks and Kazuya with just a Laser fired in his base form has been shown to be powerful enough to pierce through a Satellite while it is in orbit and send it crashing back down to orbit which so it’s not unreasonable to believe Devil Jin’s Lasers are capable of slicing through a temple of that size.
Ayden: And what’s more is that Kazuya taking down that Satellite was done in his Human Form which would mean that the Laser’s should be weaker than what it’s actually power shows when fired while in his Devil Form.
Sun: And too take it a step further, even if Devil Jin’s Laser isn’t capable of what it did in Blood Vengeance, it is still a much faster attack then anything Cinder or anyone in RWBY being faster than anything that Mercury is capable of dodging and faster than any displays of speed that Ruby has ever shown.
Ayden: Too make things even worse is that Jin has fought far more powerful opponents than Cinder and even opponents powerful thant Cinder herself has ever faced and not only held his own but has come out victorious in each fight which is best showed in his fights with True Ogre, Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya Mishima, Jinpachi Mishima, and even was capable of destroying Azazel without ever having to turn into Devil Jin to do so and has even taken on Heihachi and Kazuya at the same time by himself and was capable of holding his own!
Sun: And with Devil Jin using the Mishima Style Fighting Karate, that just gave Cinder even more trouble as he is adopting a completely new style that Cinder has never seen before and completely different from what Jin was using early on during the fight.
Ayden: With Jin’s Strength, Unarmed Combat, and Durability as well as Devil Jin’s Speed, Destructive Capacity, Unpredictability, Faster Attacks, and Abilities combined there wasn’t much that Cinder could do at the end of the day to win this fight.
Sun: Yep, it looks likes the Fall Maiden has been Tekken care of.
Ayden: The Winner is Jin Kazama.
