"Okay, I'm finish with the bathroom break." Fluttershy said as she came back sitting with everyone.

"And thank you for waiting on me, the client who just called me was in real demanding for the dress he wanted me to make." Rarity informed as she put her IPhone away.

"Alright, next Death Battle here we come!" Flash excited as he grabs the remote, but Sunset suddenly snatched it away from his hand.

"Before we start the episode, I should remind everyone of the time of the day we have left." Sunset pointed out of the time right now.

"Oh damn, is it that time to go home already?" Rainbow Dash surprised with how much time has passed.

"No, but it's definitely close for perhaps one more episode for the day before going home." Twilight said as Spike is holding up her IPhone for her.

"Hopefully this one won't take long because if I don't get home soon, ma granny is gonna give me an earful for being tardy." Applejack mentioned.

"I thought you got longer time on curfew." Pinkie Pie confused a little.

"Granny Smith punished me for that incident with the rainbow pained apples prank that almost gave her a heart attack two weeks ago." Applejack explained.

"Oh yeah, that was a riot… But, but also bad for how your granny reacted." Rainbow Dash chuckled.

"Well, then let's be sure to enjoy this awesome episode together!" Flash declared.

"Yeah!" The Rainboom cheered and Spike somehow jumped so high that he landed into Pinkie's fluffy, puffy hair.

"Hey, you got cupcakes." Spike said.

"Of course, where else do you think I keep them, in my pocket?" Pinkie laughed and Sunset played the episode.

Wiz: Two marquee warriors, arcade rivals since the '90s, now facing off for true superiority.

"Ah, reminds me of my rivalry with that Suri Polomare except she wouldn't stop her cheating." Rarity said.

"Glad to see you are a better woman than her." Flash commented.

"Indeed, I am." Rarity grinned.

Boomstick: Ryu, the wandering world warrior.

Wiz: And Scorpion, the ninja from hell.

"That one is a ninja, sweet!" Rainbow Dash excited.

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.

Ryu

Wiz: Endlessly walking the earth and improving his fighting skill is the life of Ryu, the Japanese martial artist without a home.

"Ah, did he lose it in the fire?" Fluttershy asked concern for the martial artist.

"I don't think so, it's more like he just travels a lot and doesn't stay in one place for long." Flash stated.

"And from what I can tell, the battlefield of every fight he's in is his home." Rainbow Dash added.

"Okay, but I still think it's sad." Fluttershy said and patted comfort on the shoulder by Rarity.

Background

5'9" |175cm

150 lbs|68kg

Birthday: July 21, 1964

Dislikes: Spiders, Wearing Shoes (Rainbow Dahs laughs at the spider part and Rarity gasp on him not wearing any shoes.)

Capable of Sleeping Anywhere (Surprising everyone.)

Has eyebrows so epic that they cannot be contained by his headband

Boomstick: But there's more to this karate hobo than meets the eye. After being dumped on a doorstep by his douchebag parents, he was adopted by the mysterious Gouken. From that moment on, Ryu dedicated his life to martial arts. Probably on some sort of parental vengeance quest.

"I seriously doubt it's about revenge against the parents who abandoned him." Sunset rolled her eyes.

"Man, he must just squish spiders in his path if he dislikes them so much." Rainbow Dash laughed a little.

"Now I'm having mix feelings about him." Fluttershy said.

"I'm more worried about the fact he doesn't wear shoes at all! Is he some kind of barbarian or something?" Rarity gasped.

"Maybe he just finds them uncomfortable." Applejack shrugged.

"Um, uncomfortable, my ass." Rarity muttered.

Wiz: He trained alongside his best friend and rival, Ken Masters.

"At least he had a friend with him through the hardship of training." Rainbow Dash commented.

Wiz: Gouken taught them the Ansatsuken, or Assassin's Fist fighting style. But the name is actually a bit misleading. While originally designed as a means to murder, Gouken's personal take on the Ansatsuken is based around karate, kenpo, judo, and NOT killing people. Unlike the ways of his violent brother, Akuma, who, ultimately, would prove to be his undoing.

Boomstick: Oh yeah, he can fingerpaint.

"It was never funny the first time." Twilight pinched the bridge of her nose.

Ansatsuken Fighting Style

Shoryuken: "Rising Dragon Fist" Generally Ryu's most powerful technique

Hadoken: "Wave Motion Fist" Contrary to popular belief, not actually composed of fire

Tatsumaki Senpukyaku: "Tornado Whirlwind Leg" Can safely pass over many projectile attacks

Joudan Sokutogeri: Forceful enough to bounce opponents off walls

Boomstick: Well, the Assassin's Fist isn't your average McDojo style. His Ryu Shoryuken is an uppercut so powerful; it launches his victims sky high.

"That would be something to learn from." Applejack interested in the uppercut move.

Boomstick: The Hadouken uses a fighters' willpower to fire a blast of energy and destroy evil things, like... waterfalls.

Wiz: And... physics?

"Hey, what evil things did waterfall every done to you?" Pinkie asked joking with a glare.

Boomstick: And finally the Tatsu, uuuh... Tatsu...maki...senpuu...

Wiz: Tatsumaki Senpukyaku.

"Try learning how to pronounce foreign languages better next time." Sunset scolded.

"Bet it's not easy saying it like five times." Flash said.

"Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. Tatsumaki Senpukyaku." Pinkie said the move six times perfectly and fast too.

This left a big shock expression on everyone's faces of how well and fast Pinkie did with that attack move words, Pinkie just looks at them with a confident look on her face and giggles at the Fourth Wall with a very cute wink.

Boomstick: I HAD IT! (Spike: Yeah right.) Anyway, the thing I totally know how to pronounce gives the finger to gravity and lets him briefly fly around like some human helicopter kicking machine.

"Must have trained his legs hard to swore like that." Flash said.

"I can totally pull off any of those moves." Rainbow Dash proclaimed.

Wiz: He also has a powerful step kick he calls the Joudan Sokutogeri.

Boomstick: Hey! We don't have the translation for that one! I'm on it.

Boomstick types Joudan Sokutogeri on Google Translation and got this, "And diarrhea joke foot"

Boomstick, Rainbow Dash, Flash, and Pinkie: ND DIARRHEA JOKE FOOT?! HAHAHAHA!

Boomstick: What does it do?! Kick people in the stomach so hard that he takes them to Brown Town?!

"Oh man, I never thought learning another language would be so funny!" Rainbow Dash laughed hard.

"Guys, please. He clearly got the spelling wrong of the kanji." Sunset pointed out.

"Better be sure about that, Sunset otherwise I might take you to brown town with my foot." Flash joked causing him and the two girls to laugh some more.

"Very funny, Sentry." Sunset rolled her eyes with a chuckle.

"It is pretty funny though." Applejack admitted.

Wiz: With the CORRECT kanji it's more like... "High-Level Leg Blade Kick".

"Told you so." Sunset said with a proud grin.

Boomstick: You know it's "Diarrhea Kick" forever in my mind now, right?

"Me too, I am so going to use that as a joke later." Pinkie said.

Wiz: *sigh* At the age of 23, Ryu entered the first World Warrior Tournament to test his skill. He swept through nine powerful combatants before taking on the champion, Sagat. After a hard-fought battle, Sagat was set to take the win...

Boomstick: ...until he made the mistake of being a good sport. After beating the shit out of Ryu, Sagat offered him a helping hand up. Instead of taking it, Ryu gave him a surprise punch SO HARD it ripped his chest open and nearly killed the guy. Dick move, Ryu. Dick move.

"Oh my…" Fluttershy gasped from the sight of blood and almost about to vomit, but was able to hold it in.

"I'm pretty sure it's more than Ryu suddenly being a sore loser." Rarity pointed out.

"Yeah, and that Sagat guy was being nice too." Twilight said.

Wiz: This was Ryu's first taste of the dark power buried within him. The Satsui no Hado. Literally the Surge of Murderous intent.

Boomstick: Still not as good a name as the "Diarrhea Joke Foot".

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie giggles as they high-five together agreeing with Boomstick on this one.

Satsui No Hado

A form of Ki based around man's evil nature (Frighten some)

Greatly increases the speed, power, and ferocity of its user

Grants access to the most fatal Ansatsuken technique, the Raging Demon (Rainbow Dash thinks it's cool.

Has an addictive quality, making it hard to turn away from it

Causes hair to turn red, eyes glow white, and teeth sharpen

Wiz: The Satsui no Hado gives Ryu incredible power, but at the expense of his humanity. He can tap a portion of this power to safely enhance his attacks, however, should his desire to win become so great he would even commit murder. The Satsui no Hado can overwhelm him, and he will lose control, becoming Evil Ryu.

Boomstick: Now we're talking!

"Whoa, that almost reminds me of how you were when becoming a She-Demon." Flash said.

"Guess Ryu and I have something in common, conquering our inner demon." Sunset believed; Flash gave her a kiss on the lips that made her smile.

Wiz: Evil Ryu has enormous power to the point of being almost unstoppable. He can even blast a skyscraper to smithereens.

Screen shows Evil Ryu blasting a Hadoken to destroy a building he was currently inside.

"Whoa, that was intense." Rarity shocked.

"I'm sure glad we don't become like that." Fluttershy said.

"Not anymore for me too." Twilight nodded.

"But I do like how his teeth look. Bet he would make a great dog." Spike commented.

Boomstick: He can teleport short distances, even passing through attacks along the way. More impressively, despite Gouken never teaching him this, Evil Ryu can use the Ansatsuken's forbidden technique, the Shun Goku Satsu, more commonly known as the Raging Demon.

Evil Ryu performed the Raging Demon on Ken.

"Wait, can he really turn the whole scene black like that?" Applejack asked a little scared.

"I don't think so. It's probably because he was moving faster than the eye can see, but the black scene and other effects were frightening." Twilight said, hugging Spike a little tighter.

Wiz: With this, Evil Ryu turns his foes own sins against them, and eradicates their soul. It was this exact attack, which Akuma, a master of the Dark Hadou, used to murder Ryu's master. Since then, Akuma has been haunting Ryu, tempting to succumb and fully commit to the dark Satsui no Hado as well, basically, this is "Karate Star Wars".

Boomstick: Oh, you call everything Star Wars.

"Don't know what that is, but I'm pretty sure it's too separate things. I think." Rainbow Dash proclaimed.

Wiz: Well, some even speculate that Akuma is Ryu's father.

Boomstick: Mother of God... it is "Karate Star Wars"!

"NOOOOOOO!" Rarity screamed dramatically, earning the "really" looks from her friends.

"What?" Rarity asked.

Wiz: But Gouken's teachings instilled a powerful belief in Ryu. If he can resist and shun this dark temptation, he can attain an even greater power.

"Oh, this I got to see." Flash interested.

Boomstick: By detaching himself from all emotion, he enters an altered state of consciousness.

Wiz: Like a Jedi.

Boomstick: This boosts his speed, power, and can do all sorts of crazy shit to his abilities.

Wiz: This is the Power of Nothingness.

Boomstick: Stupid name.

"I may agree with the stupid name, but hearing it that it's more powerful than the last form then I'm in." Rainbow Dash grinned.

Power of Nothingness

Foil to the Satsui No Hado

Resembles states of being found in Buddhism

Brings a hyperawareness of the universe to the user

Boosts one's strength and speed without losing clarity of thought

Causes eyes to glow blue-white (Fluttershy thinks it's cool.)

Can be used to withstand even the dreaded Raging Demon

Wiz: The Power of Nothingness is more focused than the Dark Hado, allowing Ryu complete control over his mind and body. Gouken even once used this power to separate himself from his soul in order to survive Akuma's Raging Demon. Surprise! Obi-Wan is still alive!

"Is he every going to let go the "Karate Star Wars" thing?" Spike asked.

"We can only hope so, Spike." Twilight said petting Spike's head.

Boomstick: Ryu is skilled enough to take on numerous thugs at once, tough enough to survive being impaled, and strong enough to overpower the genetically created super warrior Seth. Oh, and he's fast enough to dodge point-blank gunfire!

"That is so badass." Rainbow Dash impressed.

Wiz: Yet as Evil Ryu, his aura's so strong he can just walk-through bullets.

"Scratch that. That, that is badass." Rainbow Dash said.

"Can you do that with your magic aura?" Flash asked.

"I don't think so, but it would be cool if we can." Pinkie excited.

Boomstick: That being said, being the Street Fighter poster boy doesn't mean he's the top world warrior. He's lost a number of matches fair and square against the likes of M. Bison, Oro, and even his best friend Ken.

"Guess even the strongest can have their days when being beaten." Rarity commented.

"Yeah, losing one battle will make you strong for the next." Rainbow Dash stated.

Wiz: However, many of these losses may stem from his struggle to contain the power of the Dark Satsui no Hado, which is obviously quite difficult to do in the middle of a battle.

"Hope he remembers his own meditation exercises." Fluttershy said.

Boomstick: But when Ryu unleashes his full potential, stay the fuck out of his way!

Evil Ryu: My name is Ryu, and the ultimate power has awakened within me!

Scorpion

Wiz: From Earthrealm to Outworld there were few who didn't fear the ruthless clan known as the Lin Kuei.

"Did anyone notice a four-armed woman with a skimpy outfit?" Rarity asked feeling weird about it.

"Uh, no, I didn't see anything." Flash tried to act cool, but blushes on his cheeks weren't helping.

"Yeah, sure you weren't." Sunset chuckled.

Boomstick: Except the Shirai Ryu; a clan with some serious balls. Not only do they defect from the Lin Kuei, they mock them on a daily basis by wearing obvious palette-swaps of their clothes. They also like to pull classic pranks like annoying phone calls, TP-ing Lin Kuei homes and constantly slaughtering their loved ones. Haha, got 'em!

"Okay, that last one was NOT a prank." Applejack pointed out.

"Yeah, I know pranks better than anyone." Pinkie stated since she is also known as the Sweet Queen of pranking.

Wiz: From the Shirai Ryu came Hanzo Hasashi, the hellish ninja of vengeance.

"Oh, just hearing his name gives me chills." Twilight said.

Background

Real name: Hanzo Hasashi

6'2" |188cm

210lbs|95kg

Physical age: 32

General of the Shirai Ryu Clan

Kombat Styles: Ninjutsu, Pi Gua, Hapkido, and Moi Fah

Strongly prefers foes to come to him

Creator Ed Boon's favorite character

Wiz: But before he became the stuff of nightmares, he was once an ordinary young child... whose father just happened to be a deadly assassin. In hopes of sparing him from a violent life of regret and murder, Hanzo's father forbade him from ever joining the clan.

Boomstick: Sorry son, you're not allowed to be awesome.

"But why banned him from something that is already in his blood?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Rainbow Dash, he just said that he didn't want him to be a killer and hopefully he can enjoy the peaceful life." Sunset pointed out.

Wiz: However, as time went on, Hanzo became desperate. He needed a way to support not only himself but also his wife and son. Faced with few other options, he reluctantly disobeyed his father and began the life on a ninja assassin.

"Guess the peaceful life didn't last for him." Flash shrugged.

Boomstick: As a ninja, Hanzo is exceptionally skilled in Ninjutsu, Pi Gua, Hapkido and numerous secret Chinese martial arts. But it's his weapon of choice that earned him the nickname Scorpion.

"Catchy." Pinkie commented.

Scorpion: GET OVER HERE!

Scorpion threw the kunai right into a blue ninja's head, ripping it off with a pull as the head flies past him.

"Ouch! Whatever happened to asking nicely?" Pinkie surprised.

Move Set

Kunai Spear: Closest real-life equivalent was called the rope dart. Also Previously depicted as a mace or a serpent creature. Has also been used by Reptile, Smoke, and Noob Saibot

Hellfire Punch

Fire Breath

Leg Takedown

Flaming Scorpion Sting

Boomstick: While his kunai-in-a-rope is iconic and deadly, I'm more partial to whatever the hell that snake creature is that lives in his hand. Well, in whatever form, it impales the opponent and pulls them in close, usually for a sweet uppercut to the jaw.

"A weapon literally in one's hand." Sunset said.

Wiz: This is similar to an ancient assassination weapon used in the Tang dynasty called the Rope Dart. It's extremely difficult to master, making Scorpion's finesse all the more impressive.

"I like the part you can use it to uppercut people." Rainbow Dash smiled.

Boomstick: He's also proficient with several weapons like long swords, twin katanas, and axes.

Dan Forden: Toasty!

"Hey, wasn't he that man from Akuma vs Shang Tsung?" Spike mentioned as he saw the guy in the bottom right concern of the screen.

"Oh yeah, I completely forgot about him. He was funny." Pinkie chuckled.

Wiz: Scorpion's weaponry and combat prowess were put to the ultimate test by the legendary Lin Kuei warrior Bi-Han, a.k.a. Sub-Zero.

"I bet the battle was always and the Scorpion man won!" Rainbow Dash smirked.

Wiz: And things didn't go so well for our yellow-clad ninja. Next thing he knew, Scorpion was waking up in the Netherrealm.

"Or not." Rainbow Dash surprised shock.

"I'm getting the feeling he ended up in the bad place." Fluttershy scared.

Boomstick: More commonly known as Hell. Bet you wished you listened to Dad now, then maybe you could have ended up in a happier place, with your murdered wife and kid-oh yeah, they're dead, too.

"Looks like this guy can't catch a break." Flash said.

"Hopefully his family are in a better place." Applejack sighed.

Wiz: Enraged at Sub-Zero for apparently killing all he'd sworn to protect, Scorpion scored a second chance striking a deal with the sorcerer Quan Chi. In exchange for his loyalty, Scorpion was resurrected as a phantom of the Netherrealm.

"Something tells me the deal was more than what it may seem." Sunset raised an eyebrow.

Wraith Abilities

Teleportation: Commonly used to surprise attack enemies from behind

Netherrealm Portal: Quick access to the underworld and back at any time

Control over Hellfire: Explosive fireballs, Summoning flames under his opponent, Surrounds himself in harmful flames, Can even breath fire

Cannot die from physical attacks

Boomstick: And being reborn as a demon of vengeance has its perks. Scorpion can now teleport, summon fire at will and create portals in and out of the Netherrealm he was spawned from, literally dragging others to Hell! Whilst there, his plus ones can enjoy such tourist locations as Lava Pit and witness the corpse-burning celebration called: The Festival of Torture. Fun times!

"AAH! Please, don't show us that!" Rarity gasped.

"I think it's too late because I can't unsee what I just saw." Twilight said looking a little pale.

Wiz: The Netherrealm is the source of Scorpion's demonic power and his strength rises simply by his being there.

"So, he becomes OP in Hell. Got it." Flash nodded.

Boomstick: Scorpion is so vicious he can perform no fewer than thirteen different Fatalities.

Fatalities

Spin Rip: Remove victim's head with bare hands. Presumably learned it from Sub-Zero

Toasty: Scorpion's fire breath incinerates the target in seconds (Pinkie think it's hot.)

Hand from Hell: A flaming skeletal hand pulls the enemy to Hell

Spear Slice: Cuts victim in half and beheads them

Animalities: Becomes a scorpion and years them in half… Or becomes an adorable penguin (Fluttershy thinks that's cute)

Wiz: He can rip a person's head from their body - spine included...

Boomstick: That's not something you just do, that's art right there.

"Ew, art is more elegant and NONE blood shedding." Rarity pointed out glaring at the screen.

Wiz: ...rip off his mask to show his true face...

Boomstick and Fluttershy: AAAAAH, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?!

Wiz: And score a kill by transforming into a, well, giant scorpion, of course. Or a penguin.

Boomstick and Rainbow Dash: Wait, what?

"Aw, that is so cute!" Fluttershy smiled.

"Cute and deadly. Who knew?" Sunset surprised.

Wiz: And although Scorpion was far from the most powerful combatant in the Mortal Kombat tournament, he has defeated lethal warriors across multiple worlds. He's conquered sorcerers, demons, cyborgs, and eventually avenged his death by incinerating Bi-Han in the Netherrealm.

"Still feels like something more is going on here." Sunset stated.

Boomstick: But it turns out that that Sub-Zero guy was kind of innocent. The man actually responsible for the death of his family was Quan Chi. You know, that guy he swore himself to and has been working for this whole time? Man, Scorpion's kinda like the Charlie Brown of Mortal Kombat.

The gang took a moment of silence when they heard the sad music being played and then resume the show.

Wiz: As penance for his mistake, Scorpion dedicated his life after death to protecting the late Sub-Zero's younger brother... Sub-Zero.

"Okay, who are naming their kids like that?" Rainbow Dash asked annoyed of that.

"Pretty sure "Sub-Zero" is just a title." Flash said.

Boomstick: Though he still found time for shooting three's, hitting homers, and hosting his own cooking show!

"Huh?" Everyone surprised as they see Scorpion doing cooking, in a dangerous way.

"Wow, he's really moving up on the world." Pinkie commented.

Boomstick: Yeah, I'm not gonna trust anything that guy makes. Does he even eat anymore?

"I'm more worried about the people who would have to eat his food." Rarity said.

Wiz: Aside from his weakness for the culinary arts, Scorpion's win-loss record is not as intimidating as you might think. But consider the outrageous scope of his competition.

Boomstick: Any way you look at it, it's tough to be much more of a badass then a fire-breathing skeleton ninja from Hell.

Scorpion: I am Scorpion, vengeance will be mine!

"Oh, getting revenge never solves anything." Fluttershy muttered worry.

Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. Let's end this debit once and for all.

Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!

Ryu is seen standing in a mountainous location

"Must be doing more of his training." Applejack guessed.

"Which is about to get interrupted." Rainbow Dash excited for the fight to start.

Scorpion: Get over here!

Ryu sense something dangerous coming and catches the kunai spear flying at him.

Ryu: Can't fool me.

He then pulls Scorpion into the area.

"The battle of warriors from Earth and Hell!" Flash commented excitingly.

Scorpion teleports to Ryu which he blocks. He tries landing a flurry of punches, but Ryu blocks and avoids them. Ryu punches Scorpion in the skull and knocks him over.

"Oh, talk about a headache." Spike whined from the scene.

Ryu tries punching Scorpion while he's on the ground but Scorpion teleports right before he does so.

"Gonna have to do more to take him down." Sunset smirked crossing her arms.

Scorpion: COME HERE!

Scorpion tries once again to catch Ryu with his kunai spear, but Ryu deflects the attack with his Hadouken, knocking it back at Scorpion. He then teleports before the Hadouken can hit him. Teleporting behind Ryu, Scorpion then punches Ryu in the face, disorienting him. While Ryu is dizzy, Scorpion summons a katana and attempts to slice him. But, before he can do so, Ryu wakes up and dodges the sword slashes, subsequently kicking Scorpion in the face with his Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, uppercutting him with a Shouryuken, then kicking him off the mountain with the Joudan Sokutougeri.

"Watch out, Scorpion! You're going to be sent to Brown Town!" Flash joked causing Pinkie and Rainbow Dash to laugh.

"You guys are never going to let that go, are you?" Sunset asked chuckling.

"No, we are not." Pinkie answered.

"It's too funny to forget." Rainbow Dash laughed a little more.

Scorpion is on his knees. Ryu lands on his feet in front of him.

Ryu: Can you stand up after that?

"I'm pretty sure even demons needs a moment to recover from a fall like that." Applejack stated.

When Scorpion does not answer, Ryu slowly begins approaching him.

Ryu: I'll finish this!

"I don't think it'll be that easy." Pinkie said.

Ryu throws out a punch, which Scorpion suddenly catches to Ryu's surprise.

Scorpion: YOU WILL JOIN ME IN HELL!

Scorpion drags Ryu close and opens a portal to the Netherrealm, dragging them both into it.

"Oh dear, off to the bad place." Fluttershy gulped.

In the Netherrealm, Ryu and Scorpion face off again. Ryu smiles at his opponent.

Ryu: Hmmm, this is some fight!

"Looks like Ryu isn't going to be faze of being in Hell just to fight an opponent." Twilight amazed of Ryu's bravery.

Scorpion lets loose with a ball of Hellfire, but Ryu counters with his Hadouken. Scorpion suddenly teleports behind Ryu and kicks him in the back. He then begins alternating back and forth with teleportation attacks, landing blows and sword slashes.

"Looks like Scorpion is not lighting up on this one." Sunset commented.

Scorpion He brings Ryu to his knees panting. However, Ryu bites down on the pain and warns Scorpion.

Ryu: Neither of us has reached our full potential!

Scorpion: As if that matters!

"I think it should matter when your opponent isn't using his full power yet." Applejack stated.

Then Hellfire bursts under Ryu trying to burn him to death as Scorpion laughs. Suddenly, a voice calls out to him.

Ryu: It's not over!

Ryu starts tapping into the power of the Satsui no Hado as his clothes start growing darker. Ryu's transformation to Evil Ryu is complete.

Evil Ryu: Surprised?

"Not entirely, but yeah." Pinkie answered.

Scorpion fires off another ball of Hellfire, but Evil Ryu simply punches it away.

Evil Ryu: I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I'M MADE OF!

Evil Ryu leaps forward and delivers several aerial Hadoukens. Scorpion dodges them but Evil Ryu lands on top of him, pinning him down. Using a Hellfire kick, Scorpion knocks Evil Ryu away and charges in with his sword. Evil Ryu breaks the sword with his hands and warns Scorpion.

Evil Ryu: Don't expect mercy!

Ryu lets loose with a brutal combination, including the Tatsumaki Zankukyaku, and the Shin-Shoryuken.

"And the bug guy is sent flying out of here!" Rainbow Dash cheered.

However, Scorpion still gets up from that pummeling.

"He maybe down, but he is not out!" Flash excited.

Ryu's eyes glows as he teleports forward to finish off his opponent.

Evil Ryu: GOTCHA!

Evil Ryu then try to use the Raging Demon technique, but Scorpion easily teleports out of the way, and ends up behind Evil Ryu.

"Oh, so close on using the Raging Demon." Spike said snapping his paws.

Scorpion takes off his mask, revealing his skull as he tries his Toasty Fatality on Evil Ryu. Evil Ryu dodges it, and the two exchange blows again. Scorpion catches Evil Ryu with an uppercut, and using his Rope Spear, knocks Evil Ryu back and forth three times with a Juggling Combo. ending with a Hellfire blast that knocks Evil Ryu back again. Evil Ryu bounces away, then reverts back to normal Ryu as the Satsu no Hado is spent.

"Uh-oh, looks like the Satsu No Hado couldn't handle Scorpion's might." Fluttershy pointed out.

"But he was doing awesome before!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Scorpion's strength does increase in the Neatherrealm." Sunset reminded her.

Panting hard, Ryu focuses all of his remaining power while on his knees.

Ryu: Concentrate... I will NOT succumb to evil!

Ryu attains the Power of Nothingness, as Scorpion slowly approaches to finish Ryu off. Ryu focuses his power as he prepares to let loose one final blast. His eyes glowing, Ryu lets off one final warning to his foe.

"The Power of Nothingness, Ryu's final trump card." Flash said, hugging Sunset a little tighter.

Ryu: I walk the path of the true warrior. THIS IS THE POWER OF MANKIND! SHINKU-HADOUKEN!

Ryu fires the Shinku Hadouken at Scorpion, who makes no attempt to evade or block it. He is engulfed in the attack and is reduced to a standing, charred skeleton. Ryu falls to his knees, totally spent.

Ryu: I walk a path... with no end.

"Okay, that was MORE than I was expecting." Applejack shocked.

"Perhaps that would be the end of Scorpion." Rarity said.

"I don't think so." Sunset watched the show closely.

Suddenly, Scorpion's skeleton starts moving again, shocking Ryu.

Scorpion: I will crush your bones!

With that said, he fires a stream of Hellfire at the completely exhausted Ryu, who can only look on in shock as he is incinerated by the attack, reducing him to ashes. Scorpion then laughs.

Scorpion then turns into a penguin and lays an egg, which proceeds to explode and destroy Ryu's remains.

Boomstick: I'm no chef, but that looks a bit overcooked.

"Overcooked doesn't begin to cover it." Rarity said as everyone is still shocked that Scorpion won while he was a skeleton.

Wiz: Ryu's Satsui no Hado and the Power of Nothingness were incredibly powerful, but raw power alone is not enough to destroy Scorpion.

Boomstick: Yet Scorpion's advantage of already being dead didn't make this a cakewalk. In fact, Ryu had a perfect way to permanently end Scorpion: the soul-killing Raging Demon. But he could avoid the instant murder move, thanks to his awesome ninja skills and teleportation.

"Of course, it wouldn't be easy for Ryu to get that move to make contact." Twilight stated.

Wiz: Not to mention Ryu has very little experience actually using the Raging Demon anyway.

"That's most likely from holding back on using the Satsu No Hado for the longest time." Flash pointed out.

Wiz: But most importantly, Scorpion's strength increases the longer he remains in the Netherrealm, with no defining limit. Once trapped in hell with Scorpion, Ryu stood little chance in the long run.

Boomstick: Zero chance if Scorpion just upped and teleported him into a pool of lava, which he could totally do! Scorpion was just too hot to handle.

"Oh, I'm feeling hot right here." Pinkie fanned herself with a mini fan.

Wiz: The winner is Scorpion.

And with that, Sunset turns off the TV.

"Okay, that's all for today." Sunset said as the Rainboom got up and walk to the door saying their goodbyes and Rainbow Dash excited to see more episodes soon.

"So, now it just you and me, all alone." Flash said.

"You want to stay over?" Sunset asked.

"If you wouldn't mind." Flash pulled Sunset in for a heated kissing session which she gladly responds as they hug each other.

"Come on, I have leftover pasta we can eat." Sunset said as they walked to the fridge together.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Everyone sure saw a Hellish fight between Ryu and Scorpion with the Ninja of Hell winning in the end, and it did have a little laughing moment or two to enjoy. Next Death Battle will be something extreme and more funnies at the same time and will bring in a few more guests to join the episode.
