Why is it that Fate is one of the most complicated to debate, yet i keep using it? Fine, you know the drill. If it were voiced, Yang would be reprised by Barbara Dunkelman and Mordred would be voiced by Erica Mendez
Interlude[]
(*Cues: Wiz & Boomstick- Brandon Yates *)
Boomstick: Sometimes, parents cant always expect their kids to be 100% obediant. As a parent myself, i pretty much hate to admit that. Seeing what was once a cute innocent child becoming a rebel delinquent, dating the oh so "cool guy" named Steve THAT ONE DAY I WILL-!
Wiz (*AHEM*) Clear to my associates concern, parenting isnt easy. But sometimes the reason of their child's disobedience lies within the fualt of their parents.
Boomstick: Like Yang Xiao Long, daughter of Raven Branwen and the Yellow Dragon of team RWBY.
Wiz: And Mordred, Descendant of King Arthur and the Knight of Treachery of Fate/Apocrypha
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a DEATH BATTLE.
Yang Xiao Long burns into DEATH BATTLE[]
(Cues: Giants*)
Wiz: Dystopian as it maybe, the world of Remnant just has as many problems as the real world itself.
Boomstick: 'cause obviously we live in a society where anything can just go the hell.
Wiz: Yang Xiao Long wasn't born from the same mother as her sister Ruby, but born with her fathers ex and her uncle's sister.
Boomstick: May I add she looks younger than she already looks.
Wiz: Outside of her mother abandoning her at a young age, Yang experienced first hand on how bastardized the world of Remnant is. Taking her young sister on a wagon ride only to be attacked by the grim . festering monsters of darkness bent on the world's destruction. Thankfully she was saved by her drunken layabout uncle.
Boomstick: Qrow Branwen. A man who is simultaneously cool.....and simultaneously not cool.
Wiz: Inspired and motivated by her uncle, Yang would unintentionally follow her mother's steps attending the same Academy she did to become a Huntress. Beacon Academy. A school made to form huntsman and huntresses to combat Grim. Passing the headmaster's trial successfully, putting the Y in team "RWBY".
Boomstick: With that Y might as well stand for "Your gonna get your ass kicked"! With the simple solution of solving problems is just by punching. In the middle of a food fight? Just punch any thing with turkeys. A clockwork orange reject trying to ruin your day. Just punch him. An annoying roller skating girl that wouldn't shut up? You know damn well she's going to punch her
Wiz: Yang's academic life seemed fine till the Fall of Beacon came and all, no pun intention, fall apart.
(*showes footage of Yang's arm being cut by Adam)
Boomstick: Yang was scarred. Running away back home to avoid her problems and her team... except when you constantly have nightmares about the emo kid that chopped your arm off. I'm no scientist but im sure PTSD isn't suppose to work that way.
Wiz: Yang's adventurous spirit seemed almost broken.
Wiz: Broken till dear ol' pops gave some word of advice, shook off whatever rust she had since then, and sought out to find her sister. Now equipped with a kickass new robot arm. in two shakes of a lamb's tail, she reunited with her teammate Weiss and than the rest of her team. Well that certainly didn't take long.
Wiz: Reuniting with Ruby helped give Yang's life a new objective. Help unlock the secrets of her Silver eyes and do whatever she can to aid the ongoing war between Ozpin and the Grim Goddess Salem.
(*Cues: Anger Management*)
Boomstick: Thank god for them, cause Yang was DEFINITELY a reliable member of the team. As in roles where Ruby is the speedster, Weiss is the summoner, Blake is agile one, Yang is the core muscle of the team.
Wiz- While other carries scythes, swords or maybe a kusari-gama, Yang mostly goes for a more direct approach. Prioritizing mainly on hand to hand combat.
Boomstick: It isn't very clear on what exact fighting style Yang uses. But based on her stances, how she delivers her attacks and where she places her limbs we can guess she learned artes like Karate, kickboxing, Taekwondo and maybe Jeet Kune Do. But mostly prioritizes on a form of Karate.
Wiz: Originally developed in the Ryukyu Kingdom and influenced by Kung Fu, Karate was formed as a self defense mechanism at a time when weapons were banned. The focal point of this style consists strikes like punches kicks, backhands, palm strikes knee strikes, elbow strikes the works.
Boomstick: A fighting style like that works wonder with her go to weapon of choice. Her Ember Celica Gauntlets. Thes bad puppies can fire off a flash of explosive energy similar to a shotgun. She can even fire a concussion blast can fly over several feet in the air using Orange slug bullets or release an explosive firecracker with her red bullets.
Wiz: Ember Celica itself also augments Yang's striking prowess , with the blasts can even propel her great distances, change directions, or to get in a few quick strikes.
(*cuts to Wiz and Boomstick. With Boomstick wielding copies of Ember Celica*)
Boomstick: Heheh, oh ive waited a long time to use these suckers.
DUMMI floats on screen.
DUMMI: Here I come, I'm dying to help.
Boomstick: Hehe, yeah youre gonna help all right. Help me vent out my frustrations that is! HA!
Boomstick strikes, but only punches air.
Boomstick: The hell?
DUMMI: Such anger is immeasurable. I am on the vegre of dying after being brutalized by the wind of your punch.
Boomstick: You litte-! HA!
Doesnt work again
Boomstick: Why isn't it working?!
Thus Boomstick viciously swings left and right tryign to make Ember Celica go off. WIz only stood and watch facepalming as DUMMI floats there with the same unamused face.
Wiz: After the fall of Beacon, Yang received a new robotic created from the technological advanced kingdom Atlus. Built from a durable metal alloy that is flexible as a normal human arm with more enhanced striking. Now you ma no-
The sound of a gun being loaded was heard.
Boomstick: Aha! The safety was off! Now youre gonna get it you sassy little bastard.
DUMMI: Because as always, nothing is as embracing as the wondrous feeling of death.
One remark from that, Boomstick manage to actually hit a concussion blast, sending DUMMI spinning through the air and seemingly crash through the roof, which made the two hosts wince. Bit Wiz quickly had a face of disappointment.
Boomstick: Yeah yeah, i know i'm gonna have to fix yet another hole in the roof.
(Back to the analysis)
(*Cues: Rage*)
Boomstick: With weapons like that on her side, Yang had no problem no problem dealing with Baddies, thugs, or deadbeat boyfriends. With Moves like her Lunging Burning Gold punch, make rapid fire punches with her Unrelenting Fire, or cause massive shockwaves with her Quake Punch.
Wiz: As I was saying before being rudely interrupted, you may notice in some attacks Yang performs there appears to be some fire like trail. Whenever Yang is in battle, or just angry enough, she seems to generate a burst of fire. She isnt iggniting the air or anything like that. Rather, Yang seems to...create fire. Though its hard to determine whether or not its a form of pyrokinesis.
Boomstick: This form of flames is linked within her Aura.
Wiz: In spiritualization and other forms of medication, Aura is in short; the emanation surrounding the body of a living creature. Regarded as an essential part of the individual. Here, it's something similar. But aura can be used for a multitude of factors.
Boomstick: Whether experience, training, or innate skill, aura in it self's got you covered. It can act as a force field to take heavy hits, increase physical prowess and even heal wounds like a pseudo healing factor. But most of time its used as a power source for a semblance. The manifestation of a persons power. Each being unique in it's own right. Her semblance turns her into a damage sponge and redirect whatever hit her hard, she'll be able to hit twice as hard.
Wiz: Thus it's because of it she's able to take quite a beating. In a food fight, remember, this is highschool, she was launched into the air and didn't come back down until about 1 minute and 40 seconds later. with how long it took for her land, the force of impact would be equivalent to 50 tons.
Boomsticki: She's strong enough to send people flying like pinball machines, tough enough to survive being smashed through a concrete pillar supporting the weight of a higway, and was fast enough to run down a bridge and then up a pillar at over Mach 6 speeds
(*Pop Up: Also being the strongest physical member, she should scale to rwby who dragged a nevermore up a clip. Which had a kinetic output of 141.3548 tons of TNT.)
Wiz: Moreover, Yang was able to defeat Mercury Black. Who was strong enough to emmit a shockwave throughout the arena and alongside her partner-
Boomstick: And possible closet girlfriend Emerald-
Wiz: Dodged incoming lightning. Giving where Mercury and Emerald were standing and the time it took for them to dodge, they had to react to speeds over Mach 352.18 speeds.
(*Pop up: At first may seem like an outlier, but Sun was also able to intercept lightning from a grimm dragon. so there is some consistency*)
Boomstick: That's 1012x faster than the Bugatti Chiron Sport, the fastest car in the world. That said, for someone tough as her, there was a reason Adam was able to get....an arm over her.
Wiz: Yang can take a beating, her aura still has a limit of how much punishment she can take and has to hide and wait for it to replenish. Furthermore, while she isnt dumb, she has a tendancy to be defeated by those who are smarter then her.
Boomstick- Like the chick with the ice cream hair.
Wiz: But her worst quirk however is her temper. Which has her had a tendency to rush in without any strategy in mind and often suffer from her own reckless mistakes. But with the help of her friends, confronting her own mother, calling out for the coward for what she was, Yang was able to get over and PTSD and confront and defeat the man who haunted her life.
Boomstick: Yet she didn't even cut off his arm. What a wasted opportunity.
Wiz: A new life, a new lover, and a new adventure, there seems to be no way to put out this Dragon's thirst for adventure.
Yang: Oh, shut up!! You don’t know the first thing about strength! You turn your back on people, you run away when things get too hard, you put others in harm’s way instead of yourself!! You might be powerful, but that doesn’t make you strong.
Mordred Pendragon armors up into DEATH BATTLE[]
(*Cues: Heroes of The West *)
Wiz: In ancient Britian comes the legendary tales of King Arthur. The famous story of ones fate drawn to the sword in the stone.
Boomstick: And contrary to what the stories say, King Arthur's tale is not one 100% accurate. How so? Well, for one thing King himself revealed that he was really a she! And we already seen what her master are capable on Death Battle before.
Wiz: Artoria experienced many hardships as a king, but probably the biggest obstacle she faced in life was her own wrongdoing. Rejecting her own "son": Mordred.
(*Cues: Assailant *)
Boomstick: Personally, as someone who has issues with their dads i can somewhat relate, but Mordred herself took her daddy issues to a WHOLE new level. Wait, if Arthur was a female how was she even born
Wiz: Get this. Through magic. Through an encounter with the mystical mage Merlin, Artoria as official type moon page puts it "a pseudo-male at the time". Temprorarily giving Artoria a male body part and impregnate a Homunculus clone of herself. I couldn't make this up if i tried.
Boomstick: Oh my god.....
Wiz: Indeed. disgusti-
Boosmtick: Wiz! Dont you get what this means!?
(Music stops as it cuts to Wiz and Boomstick. With puts an arm around Wiz)
Boomstick: Don't you see? This is a new discovery for the science of the f**k! That woman can temporarily get a junk and f**k a clone of themselves! We must right down of this discovery!
(Wiz just moves away with an unamused look)
Wiz: Whatever floats your boat, Boomstick. But sexual intercourse isn't scien-
Boomstick: Blah Blah Blah! To busy researching multiple more weird ways of f***king!
(back to the analysis and music resumes)
Wiz: Rather disturbing birth aside, Mordred was mostly raised by the king's more demented and jealous sister. With Artoria herself could never get herself to embrace Mordred as her own kin. Even when enrolling as a Knight for Britannia.
Boomstick: And when she came face to with her pops her heart practically was shattered with a heavy dose of rejection.(*sniffs*) Ah. I know the feeling to well, Mordred... all to well.
Wiz: Consumed by rage and rejection, Mordred lead a rebellion against the king. Saying she hated Artoria with every fiber of her being, when really all she wanted was her own Father accepting her. There is more to it than just a one sided story of family conflict. Artoria herself said she never hated Mordred, but see her as unworthy from the thrown. Now there are multiple perspective from this, and surprising someone so kind and noble as the king herself would say something like this
Boomstick: Are we certain it isn't that Evil Alter Saber?
Wiz: Nope. its clear as day that its normal Artoria. Albeit knowing her, she likely meant she didn't want her daughter to be burdened by the weight of being a king. Thus shunning her so Mordred would stay further from the throne
Boomstick: Ok, thats...somewhat nice in a terrible parenting way. Mordred would soon be resurrected but not through typical means. As she would be summoned as a Servant for anime fan's favorite Hunger Games counterpart: The Holy Grail War. This time in an actual faction war.
Wiz: As we all know by now, servants are familiars aiding masters within to battle to obtain the holy grail. But this Holy grail war was special as it is a literal warfare of as Boomstick said, two factions of servants. The Red and Black Factions. When the other army is defeated, the remaining army will fight for the holy grail themselves. Not that they can all have their wish anyway.
Boomstick: In Mordred's case, she was summoned she was aligned to the red fraction as their "Saber of Red".
(*Cues: Toxic Rage *)
Boomstick: With a badass title like that, plus being the servant of baddass gunslinger Kairi Sisigou, though he was a bit...surprised to say the least.
Sishigou- but man, who wouldve though Mordred was a woman. The Son of king arthu-
For a split second, Mordred pointed her blade at Sisigou's throat after responding rather angrily to being referred to as a woman
Kairi: Hey now....
Mordred: Next time you refer to me as a woman, I wont be able to restrain myself. You understand?
Boomstick: Goddamn! What's her problem?
Wiz: Well, Mordred doesn't particularly like being treated or referred to as a woman. During her era, woman weren't allowed to take role as kings, or in their case queens nor could they enrolled as knights. To her, Mordred being called a woman is no different then being called weak.
Boomstick: Thankfully she's anything but. She had to be if she wanted to get the grail. Now now, i know what you're thinking she didn't want to use the grail to be king of England.
Wiz: Mordred's true wish was to pull the sword from the stone like her father, and prove she herself was worthy for the throne.
Boomstick: Yeah but in other ways she lives up to the title "Knight of Treachery" cause she likes...cats. As well all know cats are secretly plotting to destroy earth and command humanity. Slowly taking over our minds and making us our slaves for their bidding.
Wiz: Rrrriiiiiight and Mordred's training while brief she proved to be a devastating fighter of the War. Being a Saber class she has impressive use of blade crafted weapons, strength that surpasses normal men, and has immense durability.
Boomstick: Most of that beating can be do to that sturdy army she has. Not only does it look awesome, but it too heavy hitters such as the berserker class to not only dent but so much as break it. Outside she can survive fatal wounds that would kill her even without her armor, and enhance her abilities for both offensive and defensive by infusing her body or weapon with magic.
Wiz: Which transitions well to our next topic. You see, magic plays an important role for a servant. effecting stats, how they interact and even leaving from physical to a spirit form. Even needing magic to even maintain their top shape. But for the most destructive part of their arsenal. A Noble Phantasm
(Cuts to wiz and Boomstick)
Wiz: In short, Noble Phantasms are almost an identity of the historical figure, usually sealed to conserve their identity. if they find out who they are, they'll figure out the weakness of the servant that cost them their life.
Boomstick: Suer risky, but in short Noble Phantasms aren't short of badass. And each have their own different effect and cause. In Mordred's case her Noble Phantasm stems from her sword Clarent. However, it's power varies when it comes to a weird N.B ranking
Wiz: Clarent typical is a B Rank Noble Phantasm, but considering she stole it from Britannia's armory she has been stuck with a C rank noble Phantasm. However considering her amplifications, she could amplify its strength even greater.
(Back to the analysis)
Boomstick: With her amplifers, Mordred could match other A Rank noble Phantasms like Siegfreid's Balmut or even Semiramis' Noble Phantasm which couldn't protect her. Even when its supposedly grants invincibility.
Wiz: And with channels her strongest attack. Clarent Blood Arthur.
Boomstick: Which is essentially her take on Artoria's Excalibru blast. Only with a dash of red lightning. My favorite.
Wiz: Other than her mana supply , berserker like fighting style or Blood Clarent Arthur, Mordred's greatest perk is her endurance. She fought The Berserker, Rider r black while withstanding Frankenstein's Blasted Tree...all in the same Knight. And was still fighting a duplicate of Siegfreid.
Boomstick: Hell she also almost defeated The assassin and Archer of black. Even catching latter's arrows.
Wiz: even more so, in aiding Ritsuka Fujimaru, she once obliterated an entire mountain range with Clarent blood Arthur alone. Giving the large scale of the map between Camelot and this pyramid , with the assumption the height matches the mountains radius, Mordred's full strength would likely have an energy output of 38.9 Megatons of TNT.
Boosmtick: So getting hit with Mordred is like getting hit by something 8x stronger than the average nuke. No wonder Mordred was the one to have arguably one of the biggest body counts in Apocrypha. What a badass.
Wiz: Badass? Maybe, but she isn't without her weaknesses. Being she is haughty, confident, and relatively short tempered. WE already seen one of the things sets her off. Arguably hypocritical considering she doesn't want to be treated like a man either.
Boomstick: Hell, even mentioning her father or the round table itself in so much as a freaking earshot. Also while using CBA is powerful, it drains a lot of her energy and puts her body in immense pain. Kinda why she wasn't the one to win the grail war. Still it makes me wonder wiz.
Wiz: What's that?
Boomstick: Mordred despite her flaws, is a great fighter. Artoria despite hers is still a great knight. But I must ask, considering the pain the two had to share, will there ever be a time where they could ever reconcile or end on a happy note?
Wiz: When it comes to this franchise, happy endings are not common or almost non-existent. But sometimes we can't know for sure. Sometimes only Fate itself can tell what happens next.
Mordred: I was fine being in your shadow....but you never even once turned around to look me in the eye! Why won't you acknowledge me!? I'm going to destroy everything you've worked for do you hear me!? ARTHUR!!!!!!
Fight[]
The battle opens up within the rocky cliffside of a forest. On the perch observing the surrounding area from the top view was the Knight Treachery, Mordred. Ominous feeling in the air build up as she stood there with her sword stabbed into the ground hands on the hilt as the wind breezes around her armor.....however it was broken when an anger vein effect appeared over her armor and pulled out her sword while stomping the ground.
Mordred: What the hell is taken the old man so long!?
Within a flash of light, a flashback is shown of Mordred sitting on a bench eating a bag of chips. Waiting for her master to arrive, soon of which he does. Seeing her rather impatient face.
Sisigou- Someone's not in a good mood.
Mordred: I was hoping after the last bore fest from the last town, I was hoping for this one to be more exciting because of the technology being more advanced. But this place has no high rises, no amusement parks, nothing!
Sisigou- Well, this town is known for having it's fair share of problems that it's government isn't bothering to help them with.
Mordred: Well, waiting around is not gonna keep me calm when theirs fighting to do.
Mordred: Well i got some good news for you. . I went to examine the corpses of the victims who died in that cursed forest.
Mordred: Is it that Assassin of Black again?
Sisigou: Can't confirm, but it most likely isn't. take a look here. These were what remained of some the victims who died.
Talking to his servant, The Necromancer pulled out 5 photos of the victims. Genjuro's corpse from Genjuro vs. Iori, A decayed and grey arm of Asuka holding onto her grandfathers sword after Asuka vs. Sheena, a sword in the ground with Raven Branwen's ashes right next to it after Raven vs. Itachi and long dried bloodstains of what remained of Guts' body in Guts vs. Clare.
Sisigou: Theses we're the victims that have died in this forest. From hat we can tell, One was eviscerated, the other was sliced to pieces, and the other two causes of death was disintegration. The only one matching Assassin's style is this one.
He show's the photo of Genjuro's "corpse".
Sisigou: But remember that the victims of assassin also had their hearts gouged out. Unfortunately, the heart was severely damage to the point it couldn't be consumed or ripped out.
The Treacherous Knight swallowed one last chip.
Mordred: So you're saying that it's not assassin we're dealing with here.
Sisigou-Precisely. In fact one of the deaths happened in broad daylight. However I cant say for sure it's one or multiple killers. Maybe other servants.
Mordred: Doesn't matter, we're still going to take them down, right?
Sisigou- Of course.
Sisigou, got up from sitting down beside his servant and had a grin on his face.
Sisigou- Saber, its time to put your armor on.
Mordred: Right.
Mordred proceeds to pound her fist into her hand, creating a surge of red lightning around her body with her armor being manifested into physical form.
Mordred: Lets take em on, master!
In the present, Mordred stopped pandering and sighed of annoyance. Showing some worry in her master.
Mordred: I hope whatever is out here having a killing spree didn't get to him. No, if they did I wouldn't still be here.
The Treachery Knight's attention was diverted by the sounds of gunfire from the far distance.
Mordred: Huh well, that sounds like him. Finally some action.
Mordred leaps off the edge and deeper into the forest towards the location in which the noises were coming from. Panning to the site, it wasn't Sisigou fighting, it was Yang battling against a few Ursas with her Ember Celica gauntlet and prosthetic limb. defeating them she looked back on a flashback. In a briefing room of Atlus HQ
Ruby: Murders?
Winter: Yes , we've received reports of bodies found in the forest...often slashed to pieces...or the corpse remains in a pile of ashes.
She throws photos of the exact same victims Sisshigou showed to Mordred.
Blake: Do we know who did it?
Winter: Unfortunately, we don't. We are not entirely sure, if it's a series of murders or an entire organization of assassins.
Yang: So... you want us to investigate
Winter: Yes. The Ace Ops are currently away doing a mission right now. But please do your best to keep your guard up if you find anyone suspicious, take them in for interrogation
The Flashback continues to an Atlus bullhead dropping off team RWBY near the forest.
Weiss: This place last I recall is known to be filled with a lot of Grimm. Primarily Ursa.
Blake: You're the leader. what's your orders?
Ruby: We should split up. We can cover more ground that way.
Yang: And do a lot of damage.
Ruby: All right. Team RWBY, fan out.
Screen fading in, Yang reflects back and ponders a bit.
Yang: Wonder if the others are having any better luck than I am.
Mordred walks through a darker section of trees and slowly approaches the area. With her helmet being taken off via transformer like style.
Mordred: All right, master. Took you long enough, but now we can finally find that killer and beat his a-
She comes across the yellow dragon who was just standing there.
Mordred: Wait a second, you're not the Necromancer.
Yang: (Necromancer? what she talking about. Could be a lead to the killer) Hey, can I ask you question? Kind of a girl to gi--
In sudden anger, The Treacherous Knight dashed forward, anger in her eyes as she points her blade at Yang's neck and yanking at her hair. Yanking harder the further Mordred spoke
Mordred: Don't refer to me a "girl", a "woman", or whatever. Next time you do, I will make your throat my sword's next sheathe! Now get out of my way. I got a master to find and make sure he doesn't gets himself into more trouble than he is currently in. I don't have time to waste on you
By the hair, Mordred tossed Yang aside, every step making the clanging sound of her armor bounced off for every step. Yang rises from her feet, angered from what simply transpired.
Yang: Well you may not have time to waste on me....But i've got time to waste on you.
The treacherous knight sighed annoyingly and turned back to her opponent.
Mordred: What? Oh go to hell you skimpy big bo-!?
She just turns back and seeing the Yellow Dragon's eyes glowing scarlet red. Same color Mordred had when she was called a "girl".
Yang: Cause you just pissed me all the way off!
(*Cues: Granblue Fantasy Versus-Grynoth*)
Yang: Insult me, threaten me, insult my body all you want. But one rule you don't cross.. Is messing with my hair!
Mordred: And he says i'm short tempered....
Ironic statement said, Mordred dodge a hook from an angry dragon and readies her noble weapon.
Mordred: Guess we're doing this now.
Blondes at the ready , both characters charged in with a swing of their weapons. Mordred getting the upper hand, do to her sword's large range and quicker movement, slashing left and right in a diagonal formation , shoulder tackling through her opponent into multiple dead trees, before slamming her back to the ground hitting her with the hilt of her blade.
Recovering, Yang saw the Treacherous knight throwing her sword like a projectile, which Yang redirects however the contact with her prosthetic arm created sparks and the gust of wind from the weapons entering out of contact with the blade digging itself into a large stone.
Distracted, the yellow dragon was grabbed by the face by Mordred her hand clutching deep into Yang's head and proceeds to ram it back and forth into said stone. before taking her sword out slashing her a bit and did a dragon punch style sword slash that obliterated the stone and causing pieces to fly into the air alongside the treacherous night whos wats them down to her opponent.
Seeing this, Yang punched the smaller rocks to dust with each strike and propelled herself upward using the built in shotguns in her gauntlet and arm. Delivering a well aimed strike to the Knight's ribs, and propelling her further into the air doing an Ariel combo of attacks.
With the last hit sending the knight back to the ground with a mighty right hook with flames trailing. Landing, Yang punched the ground so hard that t caused an earthquake that sent Mordred into a tree.
Shrugging off the damage, Mordred leaped off the tree and delivered a boot to Yang's face which had a lightning effect. Returning the favor, the yellow dragon grabbed her opponent and through her further into the forest flying after words, each strike having more impact, and picking up a pair of broken logs and using them as boxing gloves.
Shortly lived as Mordred dispersed the area around her with lightning causing Yang to reel back while blowing more trees out of their roots and flew into the air.
The Yellow dragon rubs her head and saw the many trees coming her way, and the Treacherous night surfing on one of them. Firing her shotguns to use the projectiles and burning the trees . Dodging but soon the entire forest area was lit ablaze. As Mordred drops, she gives Yang a huge clothesline and with the acceleration of the attack, both combatants started to fall off a rocky cliff that both continue to slide on as they fight
Each hitting each other causing flames and lightning to have emit from each of their weapons. Mordred even matched Yang's unrelenting fire as the fall. Eventually both combatants hit the ground. With the far distance was Gut's dried blood in the background.
Not backing down, both combatants charge at each other with Yang's prosthetic clashing with Mordred's Clarent. Sparks flying as the power struggle seemed even.
Mordred: A Minor setback.
using magic, Mordred pushed back Yang using a sort of rune magic, with the Yellow Dragon going deeper into the ground.
Mordred: What happened to all that tough talk about you being pissed? All that talk and this is all you have to offer!?
Yang: Nope. Just getting started.
Clashing her hands together, Yang activated her semblance, fire effects igniting around her, and her eyes becoming scarlet red. Winding up her arm. Yang prepares for a final strike.
Mordred: A Noble Phantasm? heh, very well then. With my master's permission.
Responding to her opponent, The Treacherous Knight activates Claurent's power and a large beam of red lightning and energy was emitted from the blade. Reaching high into the air. Creating an evil sword of hatred .
Mordred: Before I come to claim your life, I would like to know the name of my foe.
Yang stops, then simply responds.
Yang: I am Yang. Yang Xiao Long, of team RWBY!
Mordred: I am Mordred! Son and only successor to the one and only King of Knights, Arthur Pendragon! Prepare an end fit for a warrior of your status!
Yang: Bring it! Burning-!
Mordred: Clarent...!
Yang rushes in at breack neck speed . For a seemingly final blow.
Yang: Roar!
Mordred: Blood Arthur!
The Yellow Dragon's burning and mighty punch clashing with The Treacherous Knight's surging wave with the simple purpose of destruction caused a flash of light to emanate.
The collision created an explosion that could be seen even from space itself. Splitting the clouds, and causing a radiant light to appear around the hour of midnight.
The Moon's glow itself flowed through the entire land.... and in the center of a crater...Both combatants were still alive somehow. Albeit, Mordred's body was in immense pain due to the drawback of her noble phantasm.
But because of her link with her master, she is still able to move. Where Yang survived, but her aura was broken. The Yellow Dragon's jacket was torn, and The Treacherous' Knight's Armor was no more. Revealing her casual attire.
(*Cues: Ikari- Therewolf Media*)'
The two combatants spotted that their opponent had survived their attacks. To both of their surprise, but held back by an urgency to continue fighting. Both combatants, smile briefly.
Mordred: Ok, i'll admit. You're one tough wench i'll give you that. I underestimated you.
Yang: Well I can see why you did... You got some power behind that thing. But like I said to my mom. You might be powerful, but that doesn’t make you strong.
Mordred: Spare me the details.
Hiding their anger behind their smile, both combatants begin to approach each other. With Yang tossing away her torn jacket. Revealing only her yellow top.
Mordred: Don't think i'm gonna forget you referring to me as a "girl".
Both we're now face to face
Yang: I still owe you for pulling out some my hair.
(Hey! Watashi wa anata wo hakai shi da ze)
The Yellow dragon pulls back a punch that Mordred doesn't even flinch and proceeds to punch the Yellow Dragon's stomach and readied a sword swing that was quickly swatted away to the outside of the crater
(Hey! Anata wa ima shin desu yo. Hey! Watashi no chikara wa ooki sugiru)
Responding the Treacherous Knight had an annual bare knuckle slug out with Yang. After being knocked down, she threw dirt in the Yellow Dragon's face. The Dirty move granting her some form of an advantage of beating down Yang with a barrage of jabs, and kicks..
(Hey! Anata no chikara wa nani mo nai. Watashi wa ikaridesu IKARI IKARI IKARI IKARIIIIIIII! I AM THE RAGE! CHIKARA! CHIKARA CHIKARA CHIKARA! I HAVE THE STRENGTH!)
Dusting off her eyes, the yellow dragon uppercuts . Using her shotgun gauntlets again, Yang propels into the air, strikes her opponent three times before dashing into an axe handled that could be seen as a silhouette in front of the moon.
(Hey! Watashi no chikara wa ooki sugiru. Hey! Anata no chikara wa nani mo nai.)
Yang proceeds to to put Mordred in a sleeper hold, but the knight again pulls a dirty trick by biting the Dragon's arm before running and grabbing Claurent. Reflecting a punch from Yang's prosthetic and slashes at her, witch scratches her stomach. causing her to bleed but narrowly.
(Watashi wa ikaridesu IKARI IKARI IKARI IKARIIIIIIII! I AM THE RAGE! CHIKARA! CHIKARA CHIKARA CHIKARA! I HAVE THE STRENGTH!)
The two exchange blows with most hit clashing with their metallic weapons . Multiple times, With Mordred soon getting a combo on Yang. Catching the Treacherous knight off guard, Yang released her armor from her body which grabbed Mordred's face, almost blinding. Taking the opportunity, she took Claurent from her opponent's hand and proceeds to stab her in the stomach same fashion she did with Adam. Thinking she defeated her opponent, Yang proceeds to walk away.
Mordred falling to her knees. Having reminiscent of her death at the hands of her father. pulling out the sword from her stomach she grabs her sword and gets on one knee
Mordred: No.....
(Ika-Ikariiiiiiiiiiiiiii!)
Mordred: I am not going to fall again.... I REFUSE TO DIE AGAIN!!!
Thus, Mordred's entire body surged with electricity coming from the blood tainted sword. To Yang's surprise, she only noticed her opponent was still alive from the giant red glow that was shining behind her. Thinking of what happened to Adam.
Yang: Hey, that totally worked last time.
(Ika-Ikariiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Ika-Ikariiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Ika-Ikariiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Ika-Ikariiiiiiiiiiiiiii!)
The Treacherous let out a blood curdling cry. Angered beyond any reconcile or chances to persuade, she charges in yelling at Yang with speed she couldn't keep up with. Slashing from multiple directions. When the Yellow Dragon manage to dodge, she was met graciously met with a freaking headbutt, which busted open not only her but Mordred's head. Getting a royal beating from the son of king Arthur.
(IKARI IKARI IKARI IKARIIIIIIII! I AM THE RAGE! CHIKARA! CHIKARA CHIKARA CHIKARA! I HAVE THE STRENGTH! IKARI IKARI IKARI IKARIIIIIIII! I AM THE RAGE! CHIKARA! CHIKARA CHIKARA CHIKARA! I HAVE THE STRENGTH!).
Breathing in and out failed, as Yang herself gave into her anger and match Mordred's anger as she herself let's out a loud cry and using her weapons, parried the incoming attacks from every treacherous knights attacks.
From afar it almost as if Lightning was just creating a bigger and bigger fire. Until she herself was impaled in the same way Mordred did.
(I...Ika....ikaruu....I...Ika....IKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!)
Mordred: You're dead... YOU DIE HERE YOU BASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!
Pulling out the blade, Mordred slashes wildly like a deranged barbarian, with each slash being shown Yang's body . Evident much blood spilling from her.
The corpse couldn't remain or have a chance to spill out over the floor. as the knight fired a beam of blood and Mordred's hatred, she was disintegrated in a large beam of energy. Mordred's yells as the power of the beam increases and soon the beam reached a mountain thousands of feet away and exploded.
Panting and coffin, Mordred falls and rolls back into the crater. coughing more in her exhausted victory. Likely having a sore throat
Mordred: I feel like crap... Maybe i should learn to stop yelling.
Verdict[]
(Announcer: KO!)
(*Cues: Ikari again*)
(cuts to wiz and boomstick)
Boomstick: I knew these chicks had anger issues, but goddamn! That puts my sister's temper to shame
Wiz: Surprisingly, there were things Yang had going for her. Her aura and semblance allowed her to keep up long enough to the fight to evenly against Mordred's sheer brutality and training. And while her Ember Celica does give her an advantage in range and overall versatility, she was outclassed in other categories. Aside from one's where they were mostly even.
(Back to the analysis)
Boomstick: Yang certainly could take a beating and if she could survive the blow without her aura breaking, could bring the pain twice as strong. Sadly she couldn't have had anything that allowed her to survive Mordred's 38.9 megaton energy output when she destroyed that mountain. Not likely Yang could be able to dish out to Mordred the same output, let alone survive it.
Wiz: Durability factor wasn't as clear cut at the start. Yang's aura does allow her to protect herself from fatal blows, more so than Mordred's own armor.
Boosmtick: But Mordred has shown to fight against those with around the same power output as her, and even more, while also surviving Frankenstein's Noble Phantasm at it's strongest potential.
Wiz: yes, Berserker of Black maybe considered one of the weaker servants of the war but even at it's weakest,, her Nobe Phantasm shown to be potent. Using a fraction of her power was able to manipulate the clouds to create a small lightning storm to take out storm golems. Even assuming the weakest storm energy AP, a feat like this would require almost 23 megatons of energy.
Boomstick: So not only could Franny here a megaton storm, her noble phantasm at it's strongest is 3 ranks higher than a normal D rank noble phantasm.
Wiz: This is where the Noble Phantasm rankings matter. Mordred's Claurent itself is normally a B-rank Noble Phantasm but since she stole it, the power was demoted down a rank.
Boomstick: Something tells me there is more to it here.
Wiz: There is. Recall how Mordred's own noble Phantasm was capable of powering Siegfreid's A+ Noble Phantasm. Regardless of Mordred's own rank being weaker , she was still capable of pulling this feat off. All thanks to the power of her amplifying her Noble Phantasms power. surpassing that of an A+ Noble Phantasm means she can increase its power and value to that of a C+++ Noble Phantasm. A power value of 120 to an A+'s 100. If possible she could amplify it even further.
Boomstick: In short words, she can power it to the value of A rank Noble Phantasms. So she could match Chiron and his "im gonna snipe you from the center of the milky way" attack that is certainly well over light speed. Sure not a one to one comparison, But since Mordred fought dear dad evenly she should be similar to Artoria's power in her own way. Like keeping up with Sevrants well over FTL like Iskandar and Medusa.
Wiz: It's rather surprising of how powerful some Fate servants are. Mainly because the rules of the Holy Grail wars is so strict is because of this immense power at their fingertips that they often had to limit them. If not for the fact most fate's strongest feats can be rather more tell through narration than show through pictures or motion. Or through sheer hax.
(cuts to Wiz & Boomstick)
Wiz: Yang maybe a proud huntress and adventurer in her own way, Mordred's own speed, power, amplifcations and overall sheer might simply overwhelmed the little Dragon.
Boomstick: (*sighs*) Poor team RWBY, they're just gonna be feeling "Mordred" then any other emotion. Atleast she went out with a "Yang". Yes I know that last one was made by Yang herself....shut up
Wiz: The Winner is the Saber of Red: Mordred.
NEXT TIME[]
Trivia[]
- the connection between Yang and Mordred is, in short, they are blonde yet hot blooded fighters who were descendants of Leaders of dangerous skilled warriors (Raven & Arthur respectively) who neglected and basically abandoned there children in favor of retaining their reputation (With Arthur at the time doing his duties as king and Raven fleeing and becoming the leader of her tribe of bandits) that caused both of them to hold a deep bearing grudge against them while also both challenging their parents beliefs (With Mordred in her denying the way of the king and Yang calling out on Raven's "only the strong survive" fittest when in truth she was a coward). And soon had other parental figures to morn their parents lack of "love" given to them (Sishigou & Tai/Qrow respectively) Furthermore, both have been known to have quirks of where the smallest of details seem to trigger their already short tempers ( Yang having as much as a strand of hair falling off, and Mordred being called a "woman") and manipulate the common energy around them (Magic and Aura) to power their unique abilities that differentiate from the user (Yang's semblance and Mordred's Noble Phantasm). With them also being locked in the middle of an ongoing faction war of two ongoing forces (Between Salem and Ozpins & the red and black faction wars respectively) while also being distrusted within organizations within the kingdoms in their stories which led to them cross paths with said organization and their kingdoms (The Atlas army/ Ace Ops & The Knights of the Round Table & Britain respectively). Also minor but, both seem to have a fondness towards cats (In Yang's case Blake, cause ships, and Mordred can be seen playing with and acting like a cat) and are capable of amplifying their strength thanks to their abilities (Yang's semblance and Mordred's magic burst)
