Ruby Gillman answers the call to Death Battle[]
o Wiz: The Sea is a mysterious place. It is home to some incredible creatures that live down in its depths. Many of them have never been seen by man. This has led to many rumors of giant sea monsters attacking ships and raging them into the ocean. The most famous of these sea monsters is the Kraken.
o Boomstick: The story of this colossal fish monster has been around for a long time as ancient Greece, known for their ferocity, elusiveness, and sending shivers down a grown man’s spine. But I'm pretty sure you’d change your mind on that when you meet the seaside town of Oceanside resident kraken family in-hiding the Gillmans. This includes mega-selling realtor Agatha Gillman, laid-back supportive Arthur Gillam, typical little "annoying" brother Sam Gillam, and teenage daughter Ruby Gillman.

o Wiz: Like most Highschool girls, all Ruby wanted to do was pass all her classes, hang out with her friends, and accomplish every teens dream of going to Prom.
o Boomstick: Unfortunately for Ruby, her overprotective mom kept turning her down on the last one, no matter how many times Ruby pleaded, since it was deemed “too close to the water” which would risk revealing their identity as sea creatures.
o Wiz: Although wanting to obey her mom and protect her family secret, Ruby was encouraged by her friends Margot, Trevin, and Bliss to not only attend Prom regardless of what her mother said but also ask out her crush, Conner.
https://youtu.be/OrMk9uoo2nk?si=bMIJk-iALTSUKW3Z
o Boomstick: Because this girl was the definition of “head over heels” in love with his guy, especially since she was already tutoring him in art of science stuff.
o Wiz: Really, “Science Stuff”? But taking her friend's advice, Ruby decided to go for it. Before she can ask him, she accidentally knocked Connor into the water. Being the good person she was, Ruby jumped into the water and saved him, but not before experiencing a pulsing and tingling sensation throughout her body.
o Boomstick: Good news is, she saved him. Bad News: the credit given to the snobby pretty new girl Chelsea Van der Zee. Stinking Red Heads, always hogging all the glory.
o Wiz: Before Ruby could explain what really happened or check to see if Conner was okay, she noticed bioluminescent suction cups on her fingers and ran to hide in the library. To her confusion and shock, she transformed into a giant kraken, and inadvertently ended up destroying the library.
o Boomstick: If this is what puberty is like nowadays, count me out. Luckily she was spotted by her mom Agatha who sensed the Pulse emitted by Ruby’s transformation. Finally catching up with her daughter, she was able to calm her down and get her to shrink back to normal. Phew, that was a close one.
o Wiz: It was also here where she met Agatha’s brother and her uncle Brill, who had been sent to retrieve Ruby by her grandmother. With no option left, Agatha explained to her daughter the true reason why she didn't allow her daughter near the water, for she, like her mom, had the ability to turn into a giant kraken.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh7pvbx6zcw&t=41s
o Boomstick: So pretty upset at her mom for lying to her, Ruby went to clear her head, even though she still had so many questions about her kraken form and her family’s history. Talk about an identity crisis.
o Wiz: So Ruby decided to follow her uncle Brill into the ocean and swam the secret Kingdom under the Seas where she met her grandmother, the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas.
o Boomstick: Please, she prefers Grandmamah.
o Wiz: After a semi-heartwarming reunion, Ruby’s Grandmamah revealed to her that all the women in their family had the ability to turn into giant krakens and that she was a princess and next in line to take the throne, shocking even more than she already was. She also explained krakens were actually known as the true protectors of the ocean and that it were really mermaids who were actually the most malevolent and devious creatures in the seas, contrary to popular belief.
o Boomstick: Ha, I knew The Little Mermaid movie was a lie.
o Wiz: No, that’s just you complaining about Disney remaking all those classic movies into live action remakes.
https://youtu.be/O7vNEg4QZPY?si=484RWIU6Zxea1xJh
o Boomstick: If you say Wiz, I’ll never change my mind.
o Wiz: Anyway, Grandmamah told Ruby about how the mermaids found a powerful artifact called The Trident of Oceanus to would help them not only kill all the giant krakens in the world, buy also rule the ocean, and how her mother, the greatest Kraken warrior of all times, trapped them for all eternity and hide the trident forever.
o Boomstick: Too much for her processes all at once, Ruby ran…I'm sorry swam back home, hoping to put all this behind her, only for her to be attacked and almost killed by an elderly sailor and Oceanside tour guide, Gordon Lighthouse.
o Wiz: Thankfully she was saved by none other than Chelsea Van Der Zee, who revealed herself to be and I Quote “A Mother-Flipping Mermaid”.
o Boomstick: I still don’t like her. While Ruby tried to return to her normal life, footage of her in her Kraken form began going viral, embarrassing her even more.
o Wiz: To make her feel better, Chelsea took Ruby on a "Super Sea Girl Ditch Day", where the two girls bonded with each other while swimming in the sea. And for spending most of her life on land, Ruby found out she was a natural at swimming.
o Boomstick: Chelsea told Ruby that her mom was the evil mermaid Queen Nerissa, who she supposedly ran away from after she failed trying to retrieve the Trident from it’s underwater vortex prison.
https://youtu.be/2Hgnm3Zo8m4?si=XbKHepra9Q7bam8q
o Wiz: Thinking of a way to end the feud between their two species, Chelsea asked Ruby to get it for her and so that they could unite the Krakens and Mermaid as ones. Hoping that this would please her mother, Ruby returned to her Grandmamah and asked her to train her to help her become powerful enough to get it.
o Boomstick: That’s it, que the “Rocky workout theme song”.
o Wiz: In her Kraken form, Ruby stands a staggering 300 feet tall and weighs about 80,000 tons, that’s as long as three blue whales combined. Ruby is also capable of moving at incredible speed and with grace while in water, even out running a speeding boat.
o Boomstick: Though this only works while she is in the water, because on land she can be pretty clumsy due to her massive size. But back to cool kraken powers.
o Wiz: In her Kraken form, Ruby possesses a protective body armor of scales-like skin that offers enhanced defense. The armor can be summoned by Ruby at any time she needs to protect herself from any physical harm.
o Boomstick: She is also ridiculously strong, especially after the workout routine Grandmamah put her through. She was able to lift up and hold the cruise boat holding all of her friends over her head, which probably weighs close to 70,000 tons.
https://youtu.be/w9ywo6w6evk?si=8030ZOke7ryyEg-w
https://youtu.be/gSniXe0CCe0?si=G9aBeQdu_zZo4YoS
o Wiz: Ruby also possesses the ability to enter a full invisibility-like camouflage mode. This is similar to how other kraken based sea creatures like octopuses and cuttlefish use to blend in with their surroundings. This ability allows her to blend seamlessly into her surroundings, or at least 80% of her body. But if she wants to make her presence known or see in dark spaces, her body also possesses a form of bioluminescence that activates when she is in a dark environment or stressed out.
o Boomstick: But coolest of all is her ability to shoot lasers from her eyes. These beams of energy are formidable weapons in combat, capable of destroying massive structures and inflicting significant damage upon her adversaries. Seriously, who was the guy who came up with that idea, I'm going to buy them a beer.
o Wiz: But no matter how hard she trained and tried, Ruby couldn’t make it through the vortex to retrieve the trident. So on prom night, Ruby decided to come clean to her mother about Chelsea, hoping that she could help them and make peace with her estranged family. But this only disappointed Agatha even further after finding out that Ruby made friends with a mermaid and forbade her from seeing her grandmother again.
o Boomstick: Finally having had enough of her moms rules and controlling nature, Ruby stormed out of her house, determined to retrieve the trident and prove to her mom that she didn't need her controlling her entire life.
o Wiz: So Agatha did what any worried mom would do: confront her mom and blame her for what happened.
o Boomstick: Well I’m not sure that’s “every mom’s” decision, but I know it works for Ruby’s and my mom.
https://youtu.be/lStpeOD4Gf8?si=AYL1aSbsygesMNaP
o Wiz: But it was during this heated conversation that the two ladies discovered that Chelsea was not who she claimed to be, right when Ruby finally succeeded in retrieving the trident.
o Boomstick: Good news, Ruby finally was able to get the Trident. The Bad News, MERMAIDS ARE MOTHER-FLIPPING LAIRS. Because it turns out that Chelsea was really the evil mermaid Queen Nerisaa, who used her non-aging looks to trick Ruby into stealing the trident for her. Wiz, I'm never watching the Little Mermaid ever again.
o Wiz: With the trident finally in her possession, Nerissa left Ruby for dead and set out to exact her revenge on the Gillmans and conquer all of the oceans, starting with Oceanside. Ruby would’ve given up all hope right there if not for the arrival of her Uncle Brill, who encouraged her that her mother truly cared about her and to get back up to fix her mistakes.
o Boomstick: Yeah Uncles rule and got get’em tiger…or Kraken.
o Wiz: Arriving just in the nick of time, Ruby faced down her ex-sea bestie and surprisingly held her own against her much longer than her mother and grandmother did combined.
o Boomstick: She even saved her friends and the entire school from drowning, revealing her kraken form to them and surprising the hell out of them. Don’t worry, they knew who the real sea monster was, that bitch Nerissa.
https://youtu.be/ShyHptuawlQ?si=9qyYh68u-yuHEEQk
o Wiz: After figuring out the weakness of the trident, Ruby was able to convince her mother and grandmother to put aside their differences and work together to save their home and destroy the trident once and for all.
o Boomstick: Using a three way combo of laser eye powers, the Gillman Krakenesses teamed for an epic mother daughter night out to destroy the trident for good, reverting Nerissa back to her helpless Chelsea self and getting apprehended by Gordon Lighthouse to forever remain his most prized trophy. Who needs to catch a kraken when you can catch a mermaid?
o Wiz: With the threat of the mermaid finally neutralized, mothers and daughters on both sides of the family finally made peace with each other, promising to be more open and not hide any secrets from one another or their home. Agatha also allowed Ruby to attend the last Prom dance, where she was greeted warmly by her friends and Conner, who accepted her offer to be her date to Prom.
https://youtu.be/itr5VsXehFs?si=EFPc-8KhxIlgzC8W
o Boomstick: And things would only get better for Ruby and her family in the future. Not only did the Gillian’s become even more popular than before, but Ruby also started dating Conner and accepting her role as the new protector of Oceanside.
o Wiz: Because the Ocean will always need a Kraken, and a Kraken will always answer the call to save the day.
o Boomstick: Right after she finishes school and homework first. Wait, what am I saying, GO KRAKEN GIRL GO!!!!
o Nerissa: You know what's really pathetic? That you thought someone like me could ever be friends with a monster like you!
o Ruby: I am not a monster! I’m a kraken!
Meilin Lee justed turned Red when she got invited for Death Battle[]
o Wiz: When a child turns 13, they gain a newfound sense of independence. No longer having to rely on the restrictions of the parents, wanting to do things their way and on their own terms.
o Boomstick: And no fits this idealism better than Canadian resident, Meilin Lee, or Mei Mei for short. And before we go on, we’d like to point out that this movie took place in 2002, so there's no Facebook, no Tik Tok, and no I-phones.
o Wiz: Mei Mei was your typical teenage girl: intelligent, confident, outgoing, and ready to take on whatever the world had to throw at her.
https://youtu.be/nmRUyBqDZ3I?si=J3IHr8JIodlO1oUV
o Boomstick: And like most teen girls, she had her own posse of misfit like-minded friends who always had her back. This included tomboy Miriam, goth girl Priya, and hotheaded Abby. Though they may have been considered outcast to their peers, especially to snobbish Tyler, the two thing these girls had in common with all girls were fondness of boys, like cutest clerk Devon, and their obsession with loud music, especially the latest boy band 4*Town.
o Wiz: Ugh! Kids and their so-called "music" those days. Talk about loud and obnoxious.
o Boomstick: Ugh, Why are you looking at me like that?
https://youtu.be/yG1T6TqkB4M?si=2URqvftVz7jbTEjY
o Wiz: Anyway, although Mei Mei came out as an over-achieving rebel to her friends and peers, in reality, she is extremely dedicated to her family temple honoring her animal loving ancestor Sun Yee, and always does her best to please her overbearing mother Ming. Despite her undying love for her daughter, always expects a lot out of Mei Mei and groomed her to be the perfect version of herself, tending to put a lot of pressure on her.
o Boomstick: To make matters worse, not only did she despise the 4*Town boy band, but also considered Mei Mei’s friends a bad influence, forcing her to hide the fact that she was friends with them. Sheesh, and I thought my parents were overcompensating.
o Wiz: If you think that was bad, take a load at this. When Mei Mei was daydreaming and accidentally drew pictures of Devon in her journal, upon finding the journal, Ming overreacts and assumes that Devon was trying to attract her. So she forcibly drove Mei Mei to the convenience store, confronted Devon, and told her to stay away from her daughter while waving her drawings to him, publicly humiliating her daughter in the process.
o Boomstick: Poor kid. Sure Ming was her biological mother, she definitely could have fooled me with being a wicked step-mother, she's got those vibes.
o Wiz: On that same night, Mei Mei had a nightmare involving her ancestor and their spirit animal, the red pandas, and in the following morning woke up to discover that she had transformed into a giant one. Despite her shock and horror, she was able to hide her transformation from her parents by making her mom think that she was having her period, and making her mom go get her tampon pads.
https://youtu.be/rmXnbHQLkpQ?si=z4dQFovfrzd3GJIq
o Boomstick: Man and I thought Bayamx overdid it with the whole “Period Pad Selection”. Luckily Mei Mei learned that when she calms herself down, she can revert back to her normal self, though her previous black hair was now a bright orange-red. Well, at least she could wear a red beanie over her head, so crisis averted, right?
o Wiz: Wrong!! Upon arriving at school, she was horrified to discover that Tyler had spread photos and videos of the incident at the convenience store all over school. If that wasn’t bad enough, during one of her classes she found out that her mother was outside spying on her, finally causing Mei Mei to explode into her red panda form and bolt out of the school back to her house.
o Boomstick: Man that mom needs to get a grip, and a life away from her daughter. Thankfully after witnessing her daughter transform, she finally understood the gravity of the situation and provided the answer she needed regarding their family’s ancient history.
https://youtu.be/3QwJ64ti71Y?si=l99Y4Bo24XIU2jKL
o Wiz: See long ago, their ancestor Sun Yee was the woman in charge of looking after the village while all the men went off to war. But when a horde of bandits invaded the town, she prayed to her red panda gods to give her power to protect the village and her daughters. Under a red moon, she gained the ability to transform into a giant red panda and managed to protect her home from the invaders. Since that day, she has passed this ability down to her daughters where it has been part of their history ever since, going from a blessing to a curse when her ancestors came to America.
o Boomstick: Though pretty upset about the whole thing, Ming revealed that there was a cure. Under the next red moon, they would perform a ritual to encase the power of the panda in pendent to prevent her from transforming again. But until her daughter could learn to control her emotions, Ming and her husband basically placed their daughter under house arrest.
o Wiz: But the next time her friends came to visit her, to inform her that the band 4*Town was coming to Toronto for a live concert, she inadvertently revealed her red panda form to them. Though shocked at first, they accepted her panda form with open arms and helped gain control over her transformations regardless of her emotional state.
o Boomstick: But even after passing every emotional challenge her parent threw at her, which I must admit I would fail miserable at, Ming still refused to let Mei Mei attend the 4*Town concert, even if her dad trusted her. Man this mom is getting an F on the whole parenting department.
o Wiz: And her friends struck out as well, as their parents refused to get them tickets as they are expensive. While brainstorming on coming up with a solution to get the money for tickets, Mei Mei transformed into her panda form to give her friends some emotional support, only for some other girls to accidentally come in and see her do it.
https://youtu.be/Wxs4TUnqiNc?si=3JFy-ovrTyzkpvrt
https://youtu.be/X7GJ1KbTwV8?si=Rv6UCVAnI87BICYf
o Boomstick: Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Luckily, they all instantly fell head over heels for how adorable she was and were willing to pay anything just for more panda time. That’s when the girls got an idea, a wonderful yet terrible idea.
o Wiz: That’s it, I’m removing the Grinch from your movie collection. Anyway, the girls decided that they would use Mei Mei's red panda form to make money off of their classmates and thus get the funds necessary to get tickets while hiding the fact from her parents. During this time Mei Me started to master using her panda form and found out that there were benefits of tuning into a giant pile of fur.
o Boomstick: In her red panda from, Mei Mei weighs 2 and a half tons and stands about fourteen feet tall. That's as tall as a Polar Bear standing up right and weighing more than a White Rhino. Both animals could squash a regular red panda like a bug, but compared to Mei Mei, they were the bugs this time.
o Wiz: On her own, Mei Mei is very intelligent: a straight-A student in school, proficient in speaking French, and can play the flute. In her panda form, she possesses enhanced strength, speed, and the ability to leap great distances. She can carry up to 12 pre-teen kids on her back and can outrun a speeding car.
o Boomstick: Whenever Mei Mei's transformations occur, this causes a brief explosion of pink smoggy smoke to appear. The size of the explosion seems to be related to the intensity of her emotions, at least that was Youtube Disney theorist Isaac Carlson says. With these pink smoke bombs, Mei Mei can propel herself great distances and jump as high as a small building and then change back to her normal form in less than a second. Even superman would be impressed by this girl's ability to scale buildings in a single bound.
https://youtu.be/2pZoqMi-I-4?si=eZPjcMm3P7qIckGN
o Wiz: By learning to control her emotions better, Mei Mei can even transform only parts of her body into their panda form. Take for instance when she turned her right arm into that of a panda's to increase the force needed to throw a ball at an annoying Tyler. This gave it the speed of a cannonball, as well as setting the ball on fire and smashing through a window and wall of the school, narrowly missing Tyler’s head.
o Boomstick: Now that’s a game of dodgeball I don’t want to be part of. After experiencing Mei Mei’s Panda abilities head on, the spoiled Tyler offered to pay her $200 for her to show up at his birthday party, the exact amount needed for all four girls to get into the concert, much to her annoyance and acceptance. Everything was going smoothly, until two major problems came into play that could turn Mei Mei life from perfect to imperfect.
o Wiz: One such problem would be the arrival of all of Mei Mei’s aunts and her overly strict grandmother Wu, who had come to make sure the ritual went according to plan. She even found out that Mei Mei had been transforming into the panda behind her mother’s back, making her promise to stop being the panda, should she risk ruining the relationship she had with her mom, like what happened to them in the past.
o Boomstick: Sheesh, this old lady makes the hairs all over my body stand up, including the ones under my arm. Well, at least we now know where Ming gets her controlling attitude from.
https://youtu.be/pmqyx85qlH8?si=LYhVIfKnulq93O0z
o Wiz: Things were not already bad enough for Mei Mei, they could get even worse when she found out that Abby had mixed up the dates of the concert, discovering that both the concert and the red moon took place on the same night.
o Boomstick: Wow Abby, just wow.
o Wiz: This would reveal the minor side effect of the panda, for this form can be released by "any strong emotion", especially those that heighten her adrenaline, such as stress or anger, which happen she got so mad she took aggression out on Tyler right when her mom showed up after finding out out her little secret.
o Boomstick: Uh Oh, busted. Being the typical overprotective and strict b**t that she was, Ming angrily confronted and accused Mei Mei's friends of influencing her daughter. Though they tried to explain themselves, Mei Mei, who was too scared of standing up to her mother, failed to defend them, hurting their feelings in the process. Low blow kid.
o Wiz: Brokenhearted and dejected, Mei Mei returned home and stayed there until the arrival of the red moon. On the night of the ceremony, Mei Mei was approached by her sympathetic father who encouraged his daughter that she should accept who she truly is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOgTAeNxmeE
o Boomstick: Finally, a nice Disney dad that didn’t die off for once. During the ritual, when Mei Mei was about to have her panda spirit removed, she began to reminisce on how much being a red panda has changed her life and how much fun she had with it, making her refuse to give it up.
o Wiz: After breaking free from the ritual. Mei Mei told her family that she was keeping her red panda form, and raced off to the 4*Town concert, arriving just in time to apologize to her friends and make amends with them. She even buried the hatchet with Tyler, who revealed himself to be a fan of the 4*Town group.
o Boomstick: The word you are looking for is “Townie” Wiz. But if you thought this was the end of this story then you’d be dead wrong.
o Wiz: During the struggle with her family, Mei Mei accidently caused the medallion containing her mother’s panda spirit to crack. Filled with anger by her daughter’s rebellion and her family pressuring her, Ming lost control of her emotions, causing her panda form to escape and transforming her into a Kaiju-sized red panda in the process. Although it is never explained why Ming’s panda form towers over that of her families, Youtube Disney theorist Isaac Carlson theorizes that it all has to do with the emotion of anger and the angrier a person is, the bigger and more fearsome their panda will be.
https://youtu.be/K4qaFklytTU?si=qUQFYIVS8UVm3R9w
o Boomstick: Look out world, it’s Ming-Zilla, and she stormed to the SkyDome stadium where the concert was, scared the entire crowd away, and wrecking the entire place, determined to take her daughter back by force if necessary. But Mei Mei had finally had enough of her mother’s antics and stood up to her, admitting that she liked who she was and revealed that everything she did with her friends involving the red panda was her doing; definitely pissing her off even more.
o Wiz: Trust me, the only thing deadlier than an angry kaiju is an angry mother. As the two panda girls yelled and fought with each other Mei Mei used her abilities to accidentally knock her mother out with a powerful headbutt, proving that even the largest of pandas is still prone to failure. With time running out to complete the ritual before the red moon was gone, Mei Mei’s grandmother and her aunts removed their medallions and pendants to transform into their red pandas to help her bring her giant sized mother into the ritual circle.
o Boomstick: Heck even Mei Mei's friends and the 4*Town boys assisted in performing the chant to finish the ritual and transport evenyone to the spirit realm.
o Wiz: There the aunts removed their transformation powers and Ming and Wu finally forgave each for all that happened in the past between them. Not only that, Ming finally accepted that her daughter was growing up and changing, and that as long as she stayed on the right path, she would trust that her daughter was making the right choices.
o Boomstick: Aww how sweet, and about damn time woman.
https://youtu.be/mt7urcrfWlo?si=F2GUSHKSX0elTnyz
o Wiz: Following the events of the SkyDome, Mei Mei’s life began to improve for the better. More people started visiting the temple to see Mei Mei in her red panda transformation, while using the merchandise purchased to help rebuild the Skydome.
o Boomstick: Yeah because after the stunt Ming just pulled, she definitely had a lot of fundraising to repair all the stuff she broke if she didn’t want to get sued.
o Wiz: Ming also became more accepting of her daughter's decisions and her friends, which now included Tyler, going from rivals to friends.
o Boomstick: I guess it’s true, one night can really change everyone, especially when a giant kaiju monster is involved.
o Wiz: With her past worries now a distant memory, Mei Mei could embrace her red panda to her fullest and no longer worry about hiding who she truly was ever again.
o Boomstick: Move over confessions of a teenage drama queen, say hello to the teenage red panda girl.
o Meilin: [angrily] I'm not your little Mei-Mei anymore! I lied, Mom!
o Ming: [shocked] What?!
o Meilin: It was my idea to hustle the panda. My idea to go to Tyler's (birthday) party! It was all ME! I like boys! I like loud music! I like gyrating! I'M 13, DEAL WITH IT!
Pre-Fight:[]
Wiz: All right the combatants are set, lets end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fight[]
On the streets of Oceanside Ruby Gillman can be seen running down the streets, away from her school, until she gets a call on her phone.
Ruby: Hello?
Conner (through the phone): Ruby, where are you, me and others hand already bought our tickets for the 4*Town concert, and they are running out of them, hurry.
Ruby: Sorry, I got held up, but I’ll be there soon.
On the opposite side of town, Meilin Lee can be running in the same direction, who gets a call from her phone.
Mei Mei: Hey Miriam, I got your text, I'm heading to the ticket booth right now.
Miriam (through the phone): Well hurry up sister, they are running low.
Both Mei Mei and Ruby continue running until they both spot the ticket booth, with the sign saying “One Ticket Remaining”, and they both rush over and get there at the same time.
Both: ONE TICKET PLEASE.
Ticket seller: The sign says “one ticket” only girls, you two decide who gets it.
Mei Mei: I got here first, so I got first dibs.
Ruby: Well this is my home town, so I get first dibs.
Mei Mei: I don’t think so.
Ruby shoves Mei Mei aside and pulls out her money to grab the last ticket, leaving Mei Mei visibly angry. In a puff of pink smoke, Mei turns into a red panda and uses her belly to bump Ruby so hard she flies into the nearby ocean waters.
Mei Mei: As I was saying, I’d like one…
Before she could finish, Ruby, now in her Kraken form, emerges from the water and towers over everyone. All the people nearby run for cover, except for panda Mei Mei.
Ruby: Little girl, you’re gonna wish you never did that!
Mei Mei: That's funny, I was gonna say the same thing to you.
Nearby, Ruby and Mei’s friends are all sitting on bleachers with snacks and drinks ready to watch the throwdown.
Abby: This is going to be sweet.
Ruby clenches her hand into a fist and swings it down towards Mei Mei. But the red panda teen easily dodges out of the way before the kraken teens hand can hit her, and she takes the opportunity to leap onto Ruby's hand and climb up her arm. Ruby tries to swat her off, but Mei Mei was too fast for her and continued running up her arm until she got to her shoulders. Mei Mei then leaps up, poofing back into her human form to propel her higher into the air, before turning back into a Red Panda and biting Ruby on her ear.
Ruby: Oh, my ear!
Ruby start swing her head around, trying to shake Mei Mei off of her, but the Red Panda girl has a strong grip on her. She then starts slapping her head against the water, and finally, Mei Mei is flung off into the air. As she gets closer too the ground, Mei Mei turns back into a human to catch herself before she lands on the ground. Ruby then charges up her eyes and fires her signature laser beams from her eyes, but only in short multiple blasts. Mei Mei then poofs back into a panda and runs away on all four legs as she dodges the laser shorts from Ruby.
Mei Mei: Hot Hot Hot Hot.
Ruby tries to hit Mei Mei, but she proves to be too fast for her. As Ruby reaches down her hand to try and grab the Red Panda girl, Mei quickly jump into the air, avoiding the kraken girl's hand just in time. She then poofs back into a human to propel herself further into the air, and then morphs her arm into a red panda arm to uppercut Ruby under her chin. The blow from the punch is enough to send Ruby tumbling backwards and land with splash in the water. As Ruby lifts up her head, she see Mei Mei land back on the ground and poof out her panda tail to do a little dance. Annoyed by the dance, Ruby then grabs a rock from underneath the water and throws it at Mei Mei. Seeing the incoming projectile, Mei then then turns both of her arms into their panda forms, and catches the rock in between her panda paws, before tossing it aside. Though she smiles and shakes her paws for a job well done, she then hears a crash and sees that she indivertibly threw the rock onto someone's car.
Random Guy: MY CAR!!!
Mei Mei: She did it (points at Ruby).
Ruby: Ugh, sorry.
As Ruby gets back to her tentacles and starts walking towards her, Mei turns full panda and starts running down the street, with Ruby climbing on land to go after her. She then comes to the newly renovated Oceanside library with flags every were, and Mei Mei gets an idea. When Ruby catches up to her, Mei rockets herself towards Juniper by poofing from a huma and back to a red panda, and headbutts Ruby in the eye. As Ruby clutches her eye in pain, Mei grabs the flag pole ropes, ties them together in a long ropes and pulls back the pole to launch herself into the air. Poofing back and forth, Mei Mei wraps the rope around Ruby's legs, causing her to topple over and fall onto the library.
Ruby: Aw Mab, not again.
Mei Mei: I knew watching that old movie Empire Strikes Back was a good idea.
However, Ruby easily breaks through the ropes and lifts herself back up, only to Mei Mei poofing into the air and getting right front of her face in her panda form. But just when Mei Mei was about to latch onto her face, Ruby activates her laser eyes, hitting Mei Mei and sending her flying back down into a tree.
Mei Mei: Hmph, That...didn't...hurt.
Ruby: Yeah, well how about this, you're tail's on fire.
Mei Mei turns around and sees that her tail REALLY is on fire and starts running around trying to put on the fire. She then invertedly runs right into Ruby's hand when she places it in front of the running Mei Mei. Ruby then flicks Mei Mei with her finger, sending her flying and bounce against several cars. She even grabs Mei Mei as she tries to dig into the concrete with her claws, dragging her across the street before promptly tossing her into the ocean. Mei Mei then crawls out of the water with her fur soaking wet. As she shakes herself clean, she sees Ruby chuckling as her friends laugh with her and Mei Mei's friends trying to hide their laugher.
Mei Mei: Ha ha ha! (sarcastically) Very Funny.
Ruby: Oh, that's was sort of funny. THIS is going to be Really funny.
Ruby stomps onto the ground with two of her tenacles, creating a shockwave that sends Mei Mei flying into a street sign. She grabs onto it as Ruby reaches over with her giant hands and grabs onto Mei Mei's tail, attempting to pull her towards her. The Red panda girl hold onto the street sign with all her might, but it eventually gets pulled out of the ground with her herself included. As Ruby brings her closer to her, Mei Mei sees that she is still holding onto the sign and it giver her an idea. When she gets up to Ruby's face, she swings the pole around, and uses it to whack the Kraken girl right in the face. Ruby groans as Mei Mei lands on her shoulder as she continues to scurry across the Kraken girl's body, hitting her repeatedly across the head with the street sign. Ruby stumbles around tryin to get Mei Mei off of her her, and accidentally trips over some dock ropes and falls into the ocean, as Mei Mei leaps of her and lands on the ground safely.
Mei Mei: Ha Ha, whose laughing now.
Mei Mei then casually turns around and walks away, whistling with her paws behind her back. However, Mei's ear twitches when she hears a sound coming behind her. She turns around to see the water bubbling and and a strange light glowing under it. Ruby suddenly breaches from the water, now glowing pink from her bioluminescent and visibly angry. Ruby then picks up nearby small boat and uses it to slam into Mei Mei and send her rolling across the street like a bowling ball.
Ruby then continues to hits and pound the boat over Mei Mei, bruising her red panda body. That is, until Mei puts her hands up and grabs the bottom of he boat and pulls it out of Ruby's hand and slams it onto her the Kraken's girls hand instead. With her hand pinned, Mei Mei runs up her arm again, and propels herself forwards with a sudden poof, before turning back into a Red panda to throws a punch to Ruby's face so hard, it ends up knocking the Kraken girl onto her back. A dazed Ruby looks up at the sky as she envisions several seagulls circling her confused body. When she lifts her head, she sees Mei and her friends doing a victory dance on her stomach. Annoyed, Ruby reaches over and flicks Mei Mei in the butt that send her fling into a tree as her friends run for cover. Mei Mei spits out the leaves from her mouth and brushes her tongue as she looks up in amazement as Ruby is still standing with her arms folded, with the ticket now in her enormous hand.
Ruby: I'm getting really tired of this. Just let me have the ticket and we can all walk away from this.
Mei Mei: HMMM...what's a word I'm looking for, it's on the tip of my tongue, oh yeah. NO!
Looking around for something to use and sees a truck filled with dodgeballs. Mei Mei the runs to them and starts throwing them at Ruby with all her might. At first, Ruby covers her face to avoid getting hit, but then puts her hands down after seeing that they are just dodgeballs. She then uses her laser eyes to zap the rest of the balls out of the air.
Ruby: Seriously, is that the best you can do?
Mei Mei then smirks an evil looking smile, as she has a plan up her selves. She turns back into a human then proceeds to throw another ball, but turns her throwing arm into its panda form and throws the ball. The ball is thrown so hard that it lights on fire and Ruby sees this too late that zooms across her head, making it catch on fire. Ruby then pats herself on the head to put out the fire as she looks to see Mei Mei blowing her a raspberry.
Mei Mei: Nope, that was the best I can do.
Mei then grabs another street sign and twirls it arounds like a sword before running towards Ruby with it. Ruby fires her laser beam eyes at Mei Mei, but she is too fast and agile to hit. So she stomps again on the ground, creating another shockwave that launches the panda girl into the air. However, this gives Mei the the chance to poof herself into the light of the sun and out of Ruby's line of sight. Ruby looks up and squints her eyes at the sun to find Mei Mei, only to see the Me Mei coming back down at her with the street sign. However, Ruby hardens her skin for protect and the sign bends backwards when Mei Mei whack her across the head with it.
Mei Mei: Oh No
Ruby: Oh Yes.
Ruby then swings her hands together to crush Mei Mei in a giant-sized clap, but Mei crawls up her face and avoid the hands. She begins to run all over the Kraken girl's body, all the while Ruby is turning, twisting, and trying to reach her arms around to grab her. But Mei is too fast is able to avoid her giant hands. Mei Mei then gets under Ruby's arms and starts to tickle her with her fluffy paws. Ruby tries to resist the urge to laugh, but she just can't help herself and starts laughing.
Ruby: No! No! Please don't do that I can't stand being tickled-ah-ha-ha!!
Mei Mei: Tickle tickle Tickle.
Ruby continues to laugh uncontrollable, until she tumbles to the ground onto her knees to catch her breath. With Ruby down, Mei Mei dashes forward to rapidly jabs Ruby on her cheeks with her massive paws to take her down as quickly as she could. However, Ruby finally catches her breath and swings her massive hand into the air and sends Mei Mei flying with a massive punch of her own. Mei is sent flying backwards, but she spots a flag pole and grabs hold of it. The pole then bends backwards and flings Mei Mei back towards Ruby, using to extra poofs to propel herself forwards even faster. Ruby then pulls her giant fist back to deliver a counter punch, and they collide with each other with Mei Mei's headbutt striking Ruby's fist simultaneously. Their friends watch in aww as Mei falls to the ground and Ruby collapse to their knees as they both clench their head and hand together as they wince and groan in pain from the impact.
Both: Ouch Ouch Ouch.
Ruby's Friends: OOOOH
Mei's Friends: That's gonna leave a mark.
As both recover their impacts, they stare at each and snarl with Mei Mei's eyes glow red with anger. Ruby grabs a car and attempts to crush Mei Mei with it, but the panda girl does a backflip and avoid the car. She then once again crawls up the kraken girl's arms, poofing her back to her human form to fling herself upwards, before spinning around poofing out her panda tail, to strike Ruby in the face with it. Mei smiles victoriously thinking she landed a hit, until she turns around and sees that Ruby actually opened her mouth at the right time to bite down on her tail. Mei Mei screams as Ruby flings her head back and throws Mei Mei out of her mouth.
Ruby: Ha, how does it feel to get a taste of you own medicine. Also, EEEEEWWWW, now I got fur in my mouth.
While flying through the air, Mei Mei manages to land on top of a tree and bounce right off it, hurdling right back towards Ruby. Just as Ruby finishes spitting the furry out of her mouth, she's met with Mei Mei flying double kick, but she is able to grab Mei Mei before she can escape. Now trapped, Ruby starts to squeeze Mei Mei in her giant fist.
Ruby: Give...Me...The...Ticket.
Mei Mei: No...Way.
Mei Mei's eyes start glowing a fiery red, and she delivers a powerful bite to her hand, which forces Ruby to let go of her as Mei Mei falls to the ground, only to double poof from human to panda before she hits the ground. Suddenly, sees a dark shadow overhead and meet with a giant flat palm over head by Ruby, slamming down on the red panda girl with her giant palm. However, she soon feels her hand moving as she Mei Mei struggles to push Ruby's hand off of her. Although Ruby pushes back down harder, Mei Mei us able to hold up her hand long enough to wiggle her way to safety before she is crushed. Mei then jumps onto Ruby's hand and chomps down on it, making Ruby roar in pain again. She once again runs up over Ruby's body, biting her all over her body, with some attacks causing pain, while the others blocked by Ruby's hardened skin. Eventually, Ruby grabs hold of Mei Mei, leading to Mei Mei struggling prevent Ruby from crushing her.
Ruby: I'm starting to get really tired of this.
Mei Lee: Too bad you are a literal "fish out of water" and I can do this all day.
Ruby: Hmph, then maybe its time to go for a swim.
Ruby then grabs hold of Mei Mei with both hands and walks over to the docks to leaps into the ocean water. Now in her element, Ruby starts to swim around in the water, bashing Mei Mei against the ocean floor. Mei Mei struggles to hold her breath and pull herself free, but she soon passes out and lets go of the ticket, which floats away from her.
Ruby: Hey the Ticket....OH NO, THE TICKET.
Realizing that they are underwater and ticket is made of paper, Ruby lets go of Mei Mei, scoops up the ticket and swims quickly to the surface next to the docks to try and dry the ticket off. Ruby soon notices ripples of waves forming, then sees a stream of pink smoke zoom out of the ocean and straight into the sky. She looks up and sees Mei Mei launching herself out of the water and into the air like a Rocket and spins back down to propel herself back towards Ruby at full force.
Rocket: Oh boy.
Mei Mie then headbutts Ruby with such force that it knocks her unconscious, with half of her body landing on land and the other half still in the water. She lands on Ruby's face and catches the ticket in her hand and starts cheering.
Mei Mei: Aha! Whoo-hoo! Look, girls, I finally got it! I finally got the ticket!
But while she is cheering, she cheer, she doesn't realize that Ruby is waking up and that she is standing right on her eyes. Ruby notices this and charges up her laser eyes at full force. Mei then smells something burning, and looks down to see that Ruby is awake and her eyes are glowing.
Mei Mei: Uh Oh.
Ruby unleashes the full power of her laser beam eyes on Mei Mei, shooting her into the sky and completely vaporizing the her body. She stand back up and reaches out to catch the falling ticket in her hand.
Ruby: Look guys, I finally got the last ticket.
Margot: That's cool and all Ruby, but how are going to explain all of this to your mom.
Ruby then looks to see all the destruction she and Mei Mei caused to Oceanside during their fight.
Ruby: Ugh...Mermaids?
Results[]
Boomstick: All that for a stinkin' ticket? Girls and their boy bands these days.
Wiz: Both animal girls had the knowledge and transformation mastery to push each other to the limit, but Ruby just had the greater limits to push.
Boomstick: Sorry, Wiz, this one was obvious. When one transformed for the first time, she wrecked a classroom in a building. The other wrecked the "building itself'. Kind of a no-duh.
Wiz: It was not a "no-duh". In fact, Meilin has fought and held her own against creatures the size of Ruby's Kraken form. Even if that creature was her own mother and it was more of an argument than a fight, she was still able to her knock her Kaiju mom out cold, and did do the same to Ruby.
Boomstick: However, Mei Mei never really had anything up her sleeves that could put Ruby down for good, especially when she ways 100 times her own size, three years older than her, and could shoot freaking lasers from her eyes. Although it was theorized that Mei Mei could have groan the same size as Ruby if she was angry enough, but she's never shown anything remotely capable of that nor would have gotten that angry compared to her mom over a concert ticket. At least I think.
Wiz: The only real advantage Mei Mei had over Ruby was speed and transformation experience. While Mei Mei had been using her Red Panda abilities for a couple of months, becoming a full master of her skills, Ruby was only turning into a kraken for a couple of weeks, and still required training from her mom and Grandmamah.
Boomstick: But the tables turned once Ruby took the fight to the water.
Wiz: Mei Mei Lee was a clever and resourceful young panda girl. But Ruby's power, intelligence, and durability allowed her to walk away the victor.
Boomstick: I wish I could “krack”en a good pun, “Mei”be I should try again later
Wiz: The winner is Ruby Gillman
