After the exciting episode of Leonardo and Zitz, we find our heroes in-

“NO TIME FOR AN INTRO MR. NARRATOR!!” Pinkie Pie screamed, pressing play on the remote she took from Twilight.

Wait what!? NO DON’T YOU DA-!!

Interlude
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)

Boomstick: Who doesn't like dinosaurs? No one, cause they're awesome?

Wiz: Like Yoshi, Mario's happy-go-lucky steed…

“So adorable,” Fluttershy said, gushing at the cute little dinosaur.

Boomstick: ... and Riptor, the Dino Warrior with a Killer Instinct.

“Now that’s a beast right there,” Rainbow said as Applejack and Spike nodded in agreement. Spike started to imagine himself looking like Riptor and saving Rarity.

Wiz: I'm Wizard and he's Boomstick and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.

Yoshi

(*Cues: Yoshi's Island - Flower Garden Theme*)

Wiz: Yoshi is a cheerful and friendly dinosaur whose race happens to be among Bowser's most hated enemies. Why?

Fluttershy raised her hoof and shyly said, “Cause they're happy?”

Boomstick: 'Cause they're so Goddamn happy all the time!

“Hooray for happiness,” Pinkie said, waving her hooves in the air. Everyone laughed or giggled at Pinkie’s little cheer.

Wiz: Yoshi is considered one of the fastest characters in the Mario universe and has a higher and stronger jump than Mario. Despite his cute and cheery demeanor, Yoshi's powerful enough to put down this goliath single-handedly. He's able to keep up with experienced fighters like Solid Snake, Link, and even previous Death Battle champion, Samus Aran.

Background:
Bowser's first nemesis
High, strong jumps
Can resist knock-back
Naturally skilled in basic combat & speed
Constantly followed by incredibly happy music

“I doubt it,” Applejack said, thinking the critter won't last long against the giant dinosaur.

“Hush, Applejack. We should see what they can do before passing judgment,” Rarity said, making her farmer friend roll her eyes.

Boomstick: And either he doesn't have any ears or he's really freaken' patient, 'cause he somehow put up with that whiny-ass Baby Mario!

“Awww,” everypony said as Spike pretended to gag.

Baby Mario cries.

“That is pretty annoying,” Spike said, not liking the baby's screech.

“SPIKE. It's only a baby and it's only natural that they cry to tell us what's wrong,” Twilight said, a bit disappointed to hear her son/brother say something like that.

“Sorry,” muttered Spike.

Boomstick: If it were me, someone would've found him in a dumpster after the first level! Also ,while young Yoshis are dumb enough to run off cliffs, they learn quickly over time, eventually driving go-karts, playing sports and surviving the greatest death trap ever created: Mario Party!

“Who in their right mind would want to attend that party?” Rarity asked, seeing some of the dangerous games being played.

“Now that’s my kind of party,” Rainbow said, thinking that she and Applejack could use that for the next Iron Pony Competition.

“Wonder if I should make a party like that?” Pinkie said, watching all the games closely. She's always up for new games to use during the parties she plans.

Wiz: Yoshi has a large arsenal of eggs to use as lightweight projectiles and can even create a giant egg shell to use as an all-encompassing shield.

Boomstick: What is it with creatures from the Mario universe using their babies as weapons? Is it that effective? I'm gonna have to test this out. Maybe some sort of Baby Launcher…

Yoshi Eggs:
Maneuverable Projectiles
Light-Weight
Can carry up to 6 eggs
Different eggs create different effects
Made from the souls of devoured enemies

“WHAT?” everyone yelled, including Spike.

“What’s with the people of that world and using their babies for battle!?” screamed Twilight in total disgust.

Wiz: Boomstick! That's a terrible idea! Any time you'd want to reload, you'd have to wait nine months. Anyway, Yoshi's greatest asset is his stomach.

“Wiz just lost some of my respect,” Rarity said emotionlessly, appalled at the idea of the launcher.

“Though I am interested in what's so special about the little guy’s stomach,” Applejack muttered.

Boomstick: Yeah, Yoshi's got a bad eating problem, and devours everything in sight with his long stretchy tongue. He can swallow almost anything, even fire.

“Wow, and I thought I had a huge appetite,” Pinkie said, amazed at Yoshi's ability to eat almost anything.

“And that’s saying something,”snarked Rainbow Dash.

Wiz: That's right, Boomstick. Yoshi has the strangest digestive system I've ever come across. Certain meals can grant him special abilities. Otherwise, after consuming a foe or item, Yoshi...uh...ejects an egg spawned from the subject. The egg may have special properties from said object, or contain the victim within.

Digestive System:
Long, stretchy tongue
Can eat almost anything
Can get special abilities or produce eggs
Can trap enemies in eggs
Has Trouble swallowing Koopa Shells

“H-how is that possible?” asked a confused Twilight.

Boomstick: Wait, is that how he makes eggs?! Are there any female Yoshis?

“That’s… a very good question,” admitted Spike.

Wiz: I don't think they're male or female. Yoshis may be asexual.

Boomstick: That poor miserable creature.

“I’ll say…” muttered the young drake.

Yoshi: "Oh ho ho, Yoshi got right stuff!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Yoshi might not win and the group had some issues with how his kind did with their kids, the group had to agree with Fluttershy.

Yoshi was freaking cute.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riptor

(*Cues: Riptor's Theme - Killer Instinct*)

Wiz: Riptor was genetically engineered by Ultratech to be the perfect combination of human intelligence and animal brutality.

Background
Height: 7'
Weight: 700 lbs.
Genetically Engineered
Designed to be smart & Vicious, but backfired
Only 4 years old, so has little combat training

“Why would someone make such a monster?” gasped out Rarity.

Boomstick: His tools of death are his teeth, claws and impaling tail and he knows how to use them well, pulling off insanely bloody combos. And when he's not fighting up close, he can spit a fiery acid!

Combat
Teeth, claws, & tail
Fiery acid projectile
Rushes opponents w/combos

“Ok, I wouldn't want to fight that thing,” Rainbow said, holding her hooves up protectively.

“Same here,” Applejack said, knowing a fight between her and this critter would end badly for her.

Wiz: Riptor's only 4 years old and yet, already, he's a nearly unstoppable killing machine.

Boomstick: That's one ass kicking toddler!

“IT’S A BABY!?” everyone screamed, completely terrified.

Wiz: He has reached a point where his human emotion and reasoning conflict with his predatory instincts, often confusing him to the blind point of rage and aggression.

“So he becomes nothing but a living killing machine,” stated Twilight.

Boomstick: Riptor may look, sound and act like a Velociraptor, but he's really something else entirely. He's twice as big and twice as slow and I don't think Velociraptors could shoot acid. They were awesome enough without it! With a limited amount of combat training, Riptor relies on his Raptor instincts in a fight. Raptors were pack hunters, preferring to plague their victims with stealth, speed and secrecy, though they were no pushovers by themselves. On their own, they usually just rush their opponent and overpower them with ultra combos, and if "Jurassic Park" has taught us anything, it's that Raptors are clever sons of bitches!

Velociraptor Instincts
Brutal & cunning
First incapacitates victims
Hunted in packs
Stealthy
Alone, they rushed & overpowered opponents

The group was speechless at Boomstick’s little lesson on velociraptors.

“And here i thought he wasn’t educated at all,” Rarity said, trying to process the idea of Boomstick saying something smart.

“I guess even he knows a thing or two,” Applejack said, nodding dumbly at this point.

Wiz: Wow, Boomstick, I didn't know you knew so much about dinosaurs.

“Us too,” Spike said, still shocked at Boomstick’s speech.

Boomstick: Yeah, I always wanted me a pet Raptor. I was gonna call him Barney after I found out what irony was.

“Oh poor Boomstick just wanted a animal friend,” whimpered Fluttershy.

Killer instinct announcer: "Supreme victory!" Riptor feasts on the remains of her prey.

Wiz: Alright the combatants are set let's end this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: First I need to get some money to convert my Kitten Cannon into a Baby Launcher.

“Don’t you dare!” Fluttershy growled out, surprising her friends.

Wiz: You've got to be kidding me.

Boomstick: from Squarespace, who doesn't who necessarily has Baby Launchers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the AD’s played out the girls and one drake were quick to form their teams.

On team Yoshi: Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Twilight.

And on team Riptor: Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Spike.

Now that the teams were set everyone went back to watching the TV right when the trailer just ended.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Boomstick: Right now, It's time for a Death Battle…ahem.

Death Battle
(*Cues: Overworld Theme - Super Mario World*)

Yoshi is happily dancing when Riptor emerges from a pipe and roars, scaring Yoshi, who begins cowering.

“Yoshi NO!” cried out a terrified Fluttershy.

FIGHT!

(*Cues: Yoshi's Island Theme - Super Smash Brothers Melee*)

Riptor begins by attacking Yoshi repeatedly and knocking him back.

Announcer: AWESOME COMBO!

“WHOOO! Look at Riptor go!” cheered Rainbow Dash.

As Riptor advances, Yoshi throws three eggs at her, but these do very little. Yoshi then forces out a large egg and throws it at Riptor, causing a baby Yoshi to appear.

Baby Yoshi: Yoshi!

Riptor attacks the baby Yoshi and bites its head off.

“NOOOOO!!” everyone cried out.

Yoshi screams and runs off but is stopped by a Koopa Troopa. He eats the Koopa Troopa and spits him at Riptor, who deflects it but Yoshi protects himself with his egg shield. Riptor attacks the shield until it breaks and then proceeds to attack Yoshi some more, only for Yoshi to counter.

Announcer: C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

“Yay! Yoshi!!” Pinkie Pie cheered, waving around some green Pom-Poms.

Yoshi Ground Pounds Riptor who spits acid at him but Yoshi eats the acid and traps it in an egg. He then throws the egg at Riptor, covering her face with acid. Riptor roars in pain and tries to attack Yoshi again but Yoshi eats her and forces her out as a giant egg. As the egg falls off the cliff which Yoshi is standing next to, Riptor manages to break free, but all too late. Riptor falls down into a pink car with flame patterns on it with only her legs sticking out.

K.O.!

Results
(*Cues: Alpina Blue - Yoshi's Story*)

Boomstick: NOOO, my car!

“BWAHAHAHAHA!!” laughed Rainbow Dash, along with everyone else.

Wiz: Yoshi couldn't compete with Riptor's tough and brutal viciousness, but his varied arsenal ultimately produced a winning move.

“Sometimes the most random of abilities can be the key to victory,” lectured Twilight.

Boomstick: Riptor's a friggin' beast in a fist fight but while Yoshi looks all cute and stuff, he's actually a deadly devouring machine, like my ex-wife!

“It’s not very gentlemanly to talk about a lady like that,” muttered Rarity.

Wiz: That raptor mind of Riptor's might be cunning and clever but tooth and claw can only accomplish so much. Yoshi's bizarre digestive system rebounded the acid spit, blinding Riptor and leaving him vulnerable.

“And also leaving the poor guy in excruciating pain,” added in Applejack.

Boomstick: Riptor may be smart but Yoshi can drive cars and show me another dinosaur who can do that!

“Challenge accepted!” declared Pinkie Pie.

Wiz: Even with a velociraptor's strong sense of hearing and smell, Riptor's confused and vengeful mind wasn't able to process the change of tactics fast enough. Even so, he was already finished.

“Oh?” everyone wondered.

Boomstick: Even if that conveniently placed cliff hadn't had been there, Riptor would have lost his whole face pretty quick to the acid. He just didn't have the stomach for this dino - mite Dino - Fight.

Everyone groaned at that joke.

Wiz: What?

Boomstick: I'm clever!

“Agreed!” laughed Pinkie Pie.

Wiz: The winner is Yoshi.

END

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle.

In the darkness they see a female figure. She… looks like a cat? The cat girl is standing there with her back turned. She has thick blue hair with white streaks and has white cat ears poking out of the hair. Her eyes are emerald green and has a white cat tail. The most weird feature is that she's was not wearing any clothes and is bare skin but has white fur in swirling patterns on her back, stomach, lower abdomen and breasts. Her entire forearms, hands, legs and feet are completely covered in fur and where large for her body.

Then they see another figure but not much. A hoodie wearing girl who also has cat ears but her face under her hood has a sharp toothy smile and red eyes that sparkled with a weird mix bloodlust and innocents.

The Cat Girl turns to the audience.

Cat Girl: Meow!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Umm could we start the next episode right now?” asked a red face Spike, trying to act like he wasn’t really as interested as he actually was.

The girls could only giggle at the young drake’s attempt to playing cool, resulting in Spike’s blush to grow even brighter almost making his head look like a cherry.

Feeling like her number one assistant was embarrassed enough as it is, decided to hit play and spare him anymore embarrassment.
