All rights are reserved to their respective owners.
As Ruby pressed play at the remote she is holding, the other three girls watch in silent and in anticipation, the TV screen then starts playing the intro.
The Rooster Teeth logo is shown before the episode is abruptly paused.
Boomstick: You sure this is gonna work? This'll shut him up for good?
Wiz: Trust me, its the perfect plan.
Ruby: Well looks like they planned this years ago.
Weiss: Seems like it, Wiz sounds like he is sure is ready for this.
Blake: Can't blame them, the guy in red does overstayed his welcome.
Yang: I'm excited for this one, I wonder what kind of opponent our merc with the mouth will deal with?
Ruby: Let's find out.
The other girls nodded.
Boomstick: Okay then, let's get started.
The episode is them promptly resumed.
(*Cues Wiz & Boomstick by Brandon Yates*)
Wiz: To most of us, the laws of reality are unbending rules we never question.
Boomstick: Even for us! But for some people, they're more like... guidelines.
Wiz: Such as Deadpool, Marvel's merc with a microp***s.
Boomstick: And The Mask, a total chad who just oozes big d**k energy.
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick looking off in anticipation.
Blake: Looks like they're expecting him huh.
Rudy: Better get ready than caught off guard I guess.
Wiz: Huh... Could've sworn that would get his attention.
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-
Deadpool (now an animated avatar instead of a 3D model) then pops on the Death Battle Lab's monitor.
Deadpool: My third Death Battle! HA! Wait, what was that about a micropeni-
Weiss: Yep! There he is! Annoying as ever!
Right as he's about to finish, the Death Battle transition card closes, cutting him off.
Yang: Strap in ladies and gentlemen! This will be good!
Deadpool
(*Cues Return by Joachim Horsley*)
Wiz: Every famous superhero has a special something that makes them recognizable. Some are gothic knights of darkness, a showcase of order versus chaos. Some are instantly relatable, a prime example of an average person in a not-so-average world.
Ruby: Yep! A symbol of hope and inspires everyone of us.
(*Cues Back with the faces by David O'brien*)
Boomstick: And some are shoved in your face over and over and OVER AGAIN until you just can't take it anymore!
Weiss: Yes! Just like one that is coming up now.
Deadpool appears on-screen.
Deadpool: Aw, shucks! Are you talking about me? You're such a sweet talker!
Boomstick: GO AWAY!
Weiss: Yup! Go away indeed! I don't like you!
Yang: Strange that you agreed with Boomstick even just this once.
Weiss: Strangely agreed, my this is weird!
Deadpool: We've been through this, but why stop a good thing? Hi. I'm Wade Wilson, masterful mercenary and twice robbed of winning People Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" award. Way back, I got stuck in a seriously sh**ty situation called "cancer", the worst supervillain. But then the good folks of Department K offered me a cure! Sounded great... Until I learned the big plot twist.
Ruby: Life is full of big ugly surprises sometimes.
Background
- Name: Wade Winston Wilson
- Height: 6' 2" / 122m
- Weight: 210 lbs. / 95 kg.
- AKA Merc with the mouth, Big Dee Pee, Thom Cruz, (Ruby giggled in those nicknames), Ninja Spider-Man (Blake nodded in agreement).
- Has 34 inoperable cancer tumors (Weiss and Yang raised their eyebrows on that number).
- Obsessed with Chimichangas (Yang: Still a weird type of food. Weiss: And has a weird name at that).
- Teams: X-men, Astonishing Avengers, Secrer Defenders, Thunderbolts, X-force (Ruby thinks those are awesome superhero teams that she wanted to be a member when the time comes).
Wiz: Department K was actually a sect of the Weapon X program, a top-secret project for crafting super-soldiers by any means necessary.
Boomstick: They shot Wade up with fifty CCs of hot, creamy Wolverine juice. It gave him the same crazy healing factor, but also turned his face into an improv comedy prop.
Weiss: Ew! Gross Boomstick!
Yang: Hahaha! Always with these kinds of jokes.
Weasel: You look like an avocado had sex with an older, more disgusting avocado.
Ruby:(pounding on her head) I don't even want to imagine that! Get out of my head!
Blake: One way to roast him (giggles).
Wade: Yeah...
Yang: (Hysterically) Hahaha! Hey he agrees!
Wiz: After escaping in gruesome fashion, Wade resumed his life as a mercenary, taking the name: Deadpool.
Abilities
- Superhuman Physique (Like some other huntsmen and huntresses).
- Enhanced Reflexes (Ruby: I wish I could have those too!)
- Multilingual Language: English, Spanish, Japanese (Ruby took interest in this), German (Weiss was fascinated), Esperanto (Blake is Curious).
- Renegerative Healing Factor (Yang: Kind of like a more buffed version of our Auras).
- Posession Resistance.
- Martial Arts expertise (Just like Yang, Taiyang, Mercury and other hand to hand fighters in Remnant).
- Fourth Wall awareness (Team RWBY still wonders how this works).
Boomstick: He's got your standard superhuman buffs. Super strength, super speed, super toughness, the works.
Blake: Eh... the usual.
(*Cues Drum Talk by George Georgia*)
Boomstick: But he put that super swagger to use as an expert martial artist. Though, it's hard to tell sometimes, 'cause he lets himself get hit a lot.
Deadpool: Hey, when you have a healing factor that would make even Logan's nuclear-charred adamantium skeleton blush, you let yourself nosh on a lead sandwich every once in a while. I've survived gunshot wounds, impalement, organ destruction, soupifacation, and even freaking disintegration. Good luck trying to take me out!
Weiss: Your cockiness will be your downfall someday you filthy avocado!
Wiz: Don't take all the credit for yourself. You know you were cursed with everlasting life by Thanos during some of that.
Weiss: Wait what!? Don't tell me he's practically immortal now! It will be a nightmare knowing that he is still alive and will torment you to the rest of your life!
Deadpool: Yeah, well, me and Space Grimace have a really deep relationship... 'bout as deep as I am in his girlfriend, hey-yo!
Yang: (Disbelived) Seriously? He courted the personification of death!?
Blake: His standards are questionable.
Ruby: Hey if she's pretty, how could you blame him?
Weiss: Yeah yeah, I really don't care about this type of person's lovelife. Let's get a move on.
Boomstick: Good thing Thanos removed the curse so we could violently murder you.
Wiz: An impulse I deeply empathize with.
Deadpool: Well, as much as I liked getting resurrected after that, I like doing the opposite to other people even more. As in killing them. With weapons, especially my lovely Golden Girls, Bea and Arthur.
Ruby: Ooh! Like how Dante named his guns as Ebony and Ivory.
Arsenal
- Twin Steel Katanas named Bea & Arthur (Ruby: now that's a double katana!)
- Teleporter (Blake wants one for ninja vanishes).
- Holographic Image Inducer (Yang has a trollish idea about this).
- Disintegration Gun (Weiss wants one to keep pesky suitors at bay).
- Carbonadium Sword (Ruby thinks its good but kind of like a cheat as well).
- Wrist Gauntlets (Yang wants a pair).
- Magic Satchel: Can produce various items & weapons (Yang wonders if she can find one someday).
- Continuity Gem (Weiss thinks this is a powerful tool to wield but dangerous in the wrong hands, she's looking at Ruby and back at Deadpool).
Boomstick: That would be his katanas, which are almost unbreakable thanks to an energy field from his suit. Fully charged, they can even cut the Hulk.
Yang: Wow! And wounding the Hulk is no easy feat.
Blake: I don't know Yang, it feels cheap.
Wiz: Even then, Deadpool is a walking arsenal with enough machine guns, sniper rifles, grenades, rocket launchers, tranquilizers, et cetera, to take out a small country.
Deadpool: And if I'm feeling cute, I might delete you later with any one of the wacky weapons of mass destruction I've picked up on my misadventures. Like, a gun that wipes you from history, the actual Venom symbiote, and the seventh Infinity Stone, the Continuity Gem! It rewrites canon itself and could even make Wiz and Boomstick bearable co-hosts... I mean, maybe.
Ruby: We heard it before, but I still wonder what does it mean by "alters continuity?"
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick.
Boomstick: Oh yeah? Well, let's go over some of these feats of yours. Take it away, Wiz.
Wiz: With pleasure.
Blake: (Smirking) Looks like someone is going to be roasted in their own analysis.
Weiss: (Relieved) We need it right now, thanks Wiz!
Ruby: Boomstick too!
Weiss: Not going to praise that dumbass!
Wiz: Deadpool has showcased his impressive super strength when at one point, he stood up straight, without aid! Based on Deadpool's canon weight and examining the distribution of mass here, we can deduce his legs can support 210 pounds, or just under a hundred kilograms.
Deadpool: Wait, what?
Boomstick: Oh! Or how about the time he held up this pistol. That's a Desert Eagle Mark 19, which weighs 72 whole ounces. Amazing.
Deadpool: Guys, what the hell? You know I can kick people through concrete walls and yank around a six-ton helicopter, right?
Wiz: Here we can see him running, much like typical human beings run, and the average male running speed is about 9.4 kilometers per hour.
Deadpool: Hey, hey! I was outrunning a goddamn airplane! Do you know how fast airplanes are?! Jesus H. Christ almighty, do some research for once, you frauds!
Weiss: Hah! How does it feel now to be ignored you dumbutt!
Yang: Looks like 'the torso' is getting turkey cooked! Eyoooo!!!
Ruby, Weiss and Blake groaned.
Ruby: Terrible pun sis!
Yang: Really? But you know you girls love DP being roasted.
Weiss: Yeah but don't add lame puns on it.
Yang: Eh, Whatever.
We cut back to the analysis.
Feats
- Took a skyscraper to the face (Team RWBY could not imagine the feeling of a building dropping on top of them).
- Survived being ripped in half (Ruby: I don't want to that to happen in me nor I don't want to see someone like that).
- Jumped into a volcano & lived (Yang thinks its nice but its still dangerous to attempt).
- Tagged a dragonfly with a rock (Blake is impressed in such accurate aiming).
- Threw a helicopter into a giant mouse (Weiss: WHAT!? EEEEEK!! I HATE MOUSES!).
- Dodged minigun fire (Yang: looks like Coco is not hitting this guy).
- Fast enough to kill 8 trained soldiers before they could react (Blake thinks that it is still a great feat of movement).
- Defeated Taskmaster, Punisher, Hulk, Wolverine (Ruby is impressed that Wade defeated such a big guy).
(*Cues Motor Skills by Barrie Gledden & Peter Shand*)
Wiz: Jokes aside, Deadpool can move faster than the eye can track. He's caught Captain America's shield, which Cap can throw fast enough to slice through tanks. He's even dodged the electric-powered mutant Surge's lightning blasts. If these are anything like the leaders of real lightning, they could be moving over 98,000 meters per second.
Blake: And lightnings are hard to dodge even as a speedster type of huntsman.
Ruby: Agreed! Even I have trouble matching up the speed of a lightning bolt.
Boomstick: Deadpool's a tough son of a b***ch, too. He's survived a sunburn from a freaking space laser, getting crushed under the Chrysler Building, and an explosion that cratered an entire city block! Just look at the size of that!
Wiz: Measuring the crater's volume and applying statistics for pulverization of rock, the explosion must've equaled about 130 tons of TNT.
Boomstick: That's like gettin' hit in the face with 22 monster trucks driving at top speed, all at the same time!
Yang: Damn! And monster trucks are no joke! They are very heavy vehicles that can flatten you like a pancake!
Weiss: Strange way to describe it.
Yang: Hey! I'm an expert to vehicles, not only my motorcycle but I also like other cars too!
Wiz: But Deadpool isn't perfect. Far from it, obviously. Unlike Wolverine, his chemically induced healing factor isn't a natural evolution, and so it seriously damaged his brain... which explains a lot.
Blake: Perfectly make sense now.
Ruby: So that's why he's like having a lot of screws loose!
Boomstick: This guy isn't just annoying as balls. He's legit insane. Talk about a terrible combination.
Wiz: Well, Deadpool's insanity leads him to talk to seemingly invisible people, namely the writers and editors of each comic book he's in.
Yang: No wonder he can break the fourth wall!
Weiss: Either that or probably someone with mental clarvoiyant skills. But not this lunatic.
Boomstick: I mean, is it really insanity if it's true? That's even how he got rid of the Continuity Gem, by literally handing it over to the editors.
Ruby: So much for a plot hole inconvenient.
Wiz: While his broken mind and daredevil attitude makes him incredibly unpredictable, it can often put him in over his head. Plus, while his healing factor is quite potent, it's not an instant quick fix.
Boomstick: That's why he prefers to reattach his limbs, rather than wait for them to regrow.
Popup: The fastest time Deadpool took to regrow his head was thirteen minutes. Simply reattaching limbs takes a matter of seconds, unless a lot of his body needs to be regrown.
Blake: So not as fast as Wolverine's?
Ruby: Yep! It is!
Blind Al: Am I crazy, or is your hand really small?
Wiz: That's... not pleasant.
Yang: That feels weirdly trippy.
Weiss: Ugh! I think I might vomit. (She grabs a nearby bucket just in case she throws out).
Boomstick: His biggest weakness though is that he's a dumb internet meme and he should feel bad about it!
Wiz: And using this mathematical formula, taking account of Deadpool's abundance in media, we can quantify exactly how dumb he is.
The equation Wiz is talking about is promptly shown on-screen:
Memes + cringe + LMAO + Ryan Reynolds
+ Deathstroke rip-off ÷ Unicorn fetish ÷
oversaturation x chimichangas x
Rob Liefeld x Takahata101 x actual cancer
÷ cosplayed more than Harley Quinn
Lies = Deadpool, disgust= Deadpool, trash = Deadpool
N = Y where hope, N = truth and, Y = Deadpool
Yang: That's a weirdly odd computation of dumbness.
Ruby: Agreed Yang! That is a lot to process.
Weiss: What kind of stupidly made up computation is that!? It makes my head swirl!
Blake: That's not a real one Weiss, snap out of it! (Blake held Weiss in her shoulders using both hands, gently shaking her).
Deadpool: You know, I've done this Death Battle bulls**t three times now, and can I just say, I hope you douchebags NEVER change. I love it! I'll be over there, chomping on popcorn and chimichangas while your heads explode trying to figure out how I could possibly lose this one. Toodles!
Wiz: Good riddance.
Boomstick: Deadpool may be an annoying clown who has menaced Marvel's good and bad sides for decades, but he's also had sex with my mom over a hundred times and made her moan li- hey, hey, who changed the prompter!?
Deadpool: (wildly whooping ala Curly Howard)
Boomstick: COME BACK HERE, YOU SON OF A B***CH!
Team RWBY laughs so hard at that merc antic.
Yang: Okay! That is unexpected! Caught me off guard, hahaha!
Weiss: Hihihi! Take that Boomstick!
The Mask
(*Cues Matter of Fact by Terry Devine-King*)
Wiz: Psychologist Carl Jung once described the persona as "a kind of mask", designed on the one hand, to make a definite impression on others, and on the other, to conceal the true nature of the individual.
Ruby: Like dual personalities?
Weiss: More like, what you want for people to see and what you just want to conceal to yourself.
Ruby: Oh! Right!
Boomstick: Uh... right!
(*Cues Gangsters by Bob Bradley & Terry Devine-King*)
Wiz: Basically, who we are on the inside is different than who we are on the outside. But what if putting on a mask could actually reveal what was underneath it?
Boomstick: Underneath the mask? Y-you mean your face?
Weiss: Numbnut! He means personality not face you idiot!
Wiz: I... don't even know how to start to answer that.
Blake: Yeah! It is complicated for someone like Boomstick.
Boomstick: Use your mouth, it's on your face. Well, while Wiz is trying to figure out how masks work... dumbass... let's talk about one mask in particular: the Mask.
Weiss groans for how dumb Boomstick is.
Yang: That's not how that logic works, Boy! Boomstick is dense. (Crossing her arms).
Ruby: Couldn't agree more sis.
Wiz: Its origins are shrouded in mystery. Some say it was used as a part of an African tribal ritual. Others say it was created by Loki, the Norse God of Mischief.
Ruby: *Gasp!* Loki himself!?
Weiss: No Ruby, that's a different Loki.
Ruby: (Disappointed) Oh!
Boomstick: Who knows and who cares? It wound up in the hands of Stanley Ipkiss, the schlubbiest, dorkiest loser this side of Deadpool.
Yang: Sounds like Jaune.
Blake: Yeah, seems like it.
Meanwhile across the room Jaune caught up some dust in his nose and goes out with a loud sneeze.
Jaune: AAACHOO!!!
Nora: Easy there Jaune!
Ren: Are you okay?
Jaune: (Swiping his nose) Yeah yeah! I'm fine, feels like someone is talking about me.
Background
- This mask has possessed over 30 individuals Stats vary by wearer (team RWBY wonders what does it do when worn).
- Unknown origins: Possibly belongs to Loki
Possibly from an ancient tribal ritual. (Ruby: Majora? Weiss: Probably Loki? Blake: Some faunus likes to wear masks. Yang: Cool! Maybe some old cursed Japanese myth!).
- Possessed Stanley Ipkiss (the girls thinks they kind of reminds him of Jaune).
Height: 6'1" / 1.86m
Weight: 181 lbs / 82 kg
- AKA Masque, Big head (Ruby laughs at the latter nickname).
- Can only be removed by the wearer (Weiss: Well it is magical so make sense).
- A cartoon character in the real world (the girls were astonished for such things to be possible).
Deadpool: (off-screen) Regenerating degenerates have feelings too, you know!
Weiss: Nobody cares you prick!
Wiz: Curious, Stanley donned the mask, and was transformed from an everyman to a superman.
Blake: Wonder what does that mean?
The Mask: Sssssmokin'!
Ruby: Wow! So cool!
Yang: Agreed sis! That is such a good on liner! I might want to try that in our next mission.
Wiz: And now he's a big green cartoon character the media dubbed "Big Head".
Ruby: Haha! Oh my he is indeed a big head!
Boomstick: But, you can just call him "The Mask". With his newfound powers, Stanley would take on the mob, get the girl, and live happily ever after, right?
Blake: Pretty typical.
Wiz: Don't let the family movie fool you. Sorry, movies. I always forget that second one.
Boomstick: Don't blame ya. This ain't your silly Steamboat Willie shenanigans. Get ready for some good old-fashioned hardcore violence!
Blake: Oh? Then I take my statement back.
Ruby: Violence? Have they shown us that in every episode of this show?
Yang: No Ruby, I think Wiz is talking about something different.
Weiss: And I think its more worse than we saw than in other episodes.
Wiz: See, the mask itself is alive, and it desires nothing more than absolute carnage. By tapping into its wearer's repressed mind, it can turn a nebbish nobody like Stanley into a rampaging serial killer.
Popup: While the living mask grants its power to anyone who wears it, only those who can "swing into the madness" can truly use its full potential.
Boomstick: Complete with Bugs Bunny powers! Horrifying...
Yang: Yikes! Cartoon powers but combine it with horror. Impressive! Cool but Terrifying!
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick.
Wiz: Meta-fictional combat scientists, like myself, have long speculated about a unifying theory that could explain the source of the Mask's powers. We call this phenomenon "Toon Force". Think of characters such as Bugs Bunny, Popeye, and Michael Jordan. A being that wields Toon Force seems capable of accomplishing almost anything they desire so long as they find it humorous. With this power, The Mask can manipulate the laws of physics whenever he likes, even breaking the 4th wall.
Ruby: That explains the stretchiness and weirdness of each person in cartoon form.
Weiss: What a strange yet scary power.
Blake: Crazy even, this Toon Force can do the impossible.
Yang: Hold on! They said he can also break the fourth wall? Then that means!-
Boomstick: Oh god, no, he can break it, too? You never said anything about that. And now we've got two of 'em.
Pinkie Pie's hoove pops out of nowhere.
Pinkie Pie: Don't forget about meeeee!
Weiss: GO AWAY! We don't need another one!
Boomstick punches Pinkie Pie, causing confetti to spray out from her direction.
Boomstick: TWO of them.
Blake: Exactly! Thanks for that Boomstick.
Ruby: We don't want Weiss to be a steaming vedgetable again.
We cut back to the analysis.
Wiz: Ahem, regardless, Toon Force allows the Mask to summon any kind of weapon imaginable from thin air.
Boomstick: Everything from oversized guns and rocket launchers, to whoopee cushions, dynamite, anvils, hell, anything from the good fellas at ACME.
Yang: My goodness it is like DP's magic satchel!
Toon Force Power
- Superhuman physique (Yang: A lot of hunstmen have that!)
- Body regeneration (Ruby wish there is a semblance like that).
- Metamorphosis (Ruby knows a guy with a semblance like this).
- Flight (Blake: Oh good! He can fly!).
- Mind reading (Weiss: Not another Psychic!).
- Hammer space can summon any object at will (Yang: Just like the magic satchel?).
- Immortality (Team RWBY cannot believe it).
- Physics manipulation (Weiss: This force can also defy laws of Physics too!)
- Fourth wall awareness (RWBY: Of course!)
Wiz: Toon Force users can manipulate their bodies in any way they like, whether it be stretching their limbs, inflating themselves like a balloon, or shape-shifting into giant monsters.
Ruby: Just like what I said earlier!
Boomstick: And best of all, ya can't really hurt a Toon. Well, at least not in the normal way.
Yang: Yep! They are like balloons but has a more durable surface and will not pop!
Wiz: Right. It's not that the Mask has a specific healing factor or some such; it's more like he can just say "no" to damage.
Boomstick: He's had holes blown in him, had his head cut off, stripped his own flesh from his bones, and was blown up into a bloody pulp. He can outpace Lobo, remember him? 'Cause he doesn't need to wait for his body to heal. It just happens!
Weiss: Is there a person here in Remnant that has a semblance like regeneration?
Blake: I don't think we've met one yet.
Ruby: I hope there is!
Yang: And when we do I hope that person is on our side, imagine fighting with such incredibly crazy and unbelievable ability.
All the other three agreed with the blonde brawler.
Feats
- Pushed over a building (Yang: As easy as that? Effortless!)
- Struck a baseball so hard it caught fire (Ruby finds this awesome, Weiss finds this stupidly impressive).
- Cut a car in half with one axe swing (Blake: I wish I could cut metal vehicles with just one katana swing).
- Dodged point-black gunfire (Ruby is impressed).
- Raced Lobo around the world (Ruby is even more impressed).
- Regenerated from a pool of blood (Yang: Damn! He's also hard to kill!).
- Survived atmospheric re-entry (Team RWBY is mindblown).
- Defeated Walter, Dorian, Pretorius (Yang: Who are those guys?)
Wiz: However, the scariest thing about the Mask's use of Toon Force is how it affects the world around him. In most cases, the rules of Toon Force are applied to the user and whomever or whatever the force is affecting.
Boomstick: This even happens in the movie. Man, look at her go!
The Mask spins Tina Carlyle around so fast she becomes a whirlwind.
Ruby: Whoa! I hope she's not dizzy sick after that.
Weiss: Watching it myself makes me dizzy! (Head spinning with swirly eyes).
(*Cues Follow that Car by Tim Garland*)
Wiz: But in the true canon of The Mask, this is not the case. And this leads to some, well... horrific imagery. The Mask can pick up cars and knock over buildings with ease. He can dodge point-blank bullets and run fast enough to set the ground on fire. He has survived massive explosions, giant robots, and being kicked in the testicles so hard, he flew.
Yang: Thats a very oh so nice feats! Also why we don't have boys here in Remnant that flew up after being kicked in the balls?
Weiss: Yang don't be stupid! We are not in a world as cartoony as these combatants!
Yang: Still wanted to try though, maybe to Junior! Hehehe!
Wess facepalms, Blake just throws a pillow on Yang and Ruby is a little concerned.
Boomstick: Out of all the gore in those comics, that is the worst thing I've seen yet. But, remember what we said before about him fighting Lobo, the guy who ate a city?
Ruby: Yeah! We remember him.
Wiz: At one point, Lobo and the Mask raced around the entire planet several times in the span of just a few seconds, and then crashed into each other in an absolutely gargantuan blast. Based on their after trail rings, and given an estimated timeframe of less than half a minute, which fits given the context, they must have been going over nine million meters per second.
Boomstick: Ah, what a couple of scamps.
Ruby: Oh my! Look at how fast they travel around Earth! Those after image ribbons! Looks so unreal!
Yang: Not only that, they collided on each other and survived such a big blast! More impressive!
Wiz: There's only one way to really stop the Mask, and that's by removing the mask itself.
Blake: I wonder how it will be possibly done?
Boomstick: Good luck trying! The only way is if the wearer has already decided to let it come off. And with the power it gives, who'd want to?
Weiss: I'll don't! Yes it is very powerful but no thank you, I don't want to lose my sanity.
Wiz: Technically, the conscience of the person the Mask possesses still exists, and could be reasoned with or tricked into removing the mask.
Popup: In the alternative-canon cartoon and film, the mask has been forcibly removed from children and animals. However, it's likely that their innocent nature and lack of unnatural bloodlust meant their connection to the mask was weaker than normal.
Ruby: So if the wearer is a person, then we can just persuade him or her to remove it? Got it then!
Blake: We really need a smooth talker to do such a great feat. But who will it be?
Boomstick: Like when Lobo threw a guilt bomb at him after he murdered hundreds of people.
Weiss: Oh it did? Is it really all that easy? Just guilt-tripping the person?
Wiz: But the mask itself has an astronomically powerful influence on its host.
Yang: Well guess maybe not!
Boomstick: Right. I mean, who doesn't like letting loose every once in a while? We've covered a lot of vicious murderers on the show, but I've never seen one who has as much fun with it as the Mask.
Yang: Definitely agreed! I like to let loose at some fight whenever I feel to. (Bumping both her fists).
Weiss: Like you've always been doing that's why you are first to be injured.
Yang: Hey! Its fun to be in the thick of battle! Hehe!
Weiss: (Facepalms) You're hopeless!
The Mask: Let's rock this joint!
*DEATH BATTLE GATE SLAM!*
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set and we've run the data through all possibilities.
Boomstick: But first, I've got a hunger for some-
Deadpool: I swear, if you cut to commercial, I'll strangle you both with an actual blue apr-
Boomstick: IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLEEE!!!
Ruby paused the video and turns to her teammates.
Ruby: Alright girls! Who do you got? I'll go with the Mask.
Yang: The Mask! He seems more powerful!
Weiss: Me too! I really wish he could beat up Deadpool so bad.
Blake: I think we all wanted Deadpool to go, he overstayed his welcome now so I'll go with the Mask too.
Ruby: It's a landslide then! Let's watch the fight!
WBY: Yes!
Ruby pressed play and the video resumes.
Battle
We see a tall building as we then see the top of it. Suddenly, we see Wade Wilson aka Deadpool crashing from a window as he was trying to grab the enchanted mask. The moment then turns to slow-motion.
Yang: Starting off on a high night right away.
Deadpool: Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got in this mess. Buuuut, there's only enough funding for a few minutes of animation, so we're skipping that part.
Weiss: Thank goodness that funding is not enough to include some stupid backstory for this dimwit!
The slow-motion ends as Deadpool then falls down while letting out the iconic Goofy holler. He ends up crashing through the top of a passing bus with the mask underneath, leaving a silhouette, an imprint of a man.
Ruby: Looks like the toon force is already in effect for Stanley.
Blake: Agreed! The imprint shape like a man is impossible in our world.
(*Cues Goodbye Chimichanga by Therewolf Media*)
For a second, the bus explodes as a green tornado caught Deadpool and throws him to an alleyway as from the tornado once it cleared, the Mask now appears.
The Mask: Ssssmokin'!
Yang: That's a badass entrance and a great one liner too! I approve!
Deadpool gets up from the alleyway.
Deadpool: Alright, Majora's mistake! You got one chance to take that off!
Ruby: Hehe! That's funny! The fourth form of Majora's Mask: Majora's Mistake! Hahahaha! (Hysterically laughing).
Blake: I wonder if Deadpool played that game before?
Deadpool brings out his guns, the Mask is shocked at Deadpool threatening him, he then drops the expression and then quickly brings out his own guns, only to be balloon guns. The green-faced lunatic then blows them up till they pop, turning into multiple real firearms.
The Mask: P**is metaphor!
Ruby: Oh I get it! Its a Di-
Yang: RUBY STOP!!! ITS INAPPROPRIATE!! (Stopping Ruby's mouth with her hand).
Ruby: (Muffled) Aw c'mon!
He unloads all his ammo at the mercenary with overkill.
Deadpool: Huh?
Deadpool sighs in irritation as he is then punched by the Mask's boxing glove. He then punches again, his head turning into Ivan Drago from Rocky IV.
Blake: Well that was fast.
The Mask: (ala Drago) I must break you.
Weiss: My my! He got the impression right!
He stretch-punches Deadpool as the merc winces, but nothing happens, it then shoots in from another angle and punches him several times, the repeated punches begin to crack the very screen presenting the fight. Deadpool sees an opportunity to turn the fight around as he dives through the fragile screen. The Mask is left alone for only a moment in perplexity until he returns with the Continuity Gem.
Deadpool: Got it!
Blake: Yep! Here it goes!
Weiss: That's technically cheating already!
The Mask puts on a pair of nerd glasses.
The Mask: (in a nerdy voice) ACTUALLY, that's not canon!
Weiss: Yes it should not be!
Deadpool then climbs back onto the street.
Deadpool: Let's just say... I know the right people. With this Continuity Gem, I can rewrite anything I need fixing.
In the background, potential alternate endings have been shown to past Death Battles:
Link VS Cloud (2012) with Link being sliced in half horizontally.
Rogue VS Wonder Woman, with Wonder Woman punches through Rogue's face, killing her.
Goku VS Superman 2 with Superman being disintegrated against Goku's Kamehameha wave.
Yang VS Tifa with Tifa snapping Yang's neck killing her instantly.
And Gaara VS Toph, with Toph's fate being unknown as the result of the battle not being shown.
Yang sees what the continuity gem can do, got a little enraged upon seeing the alternate result of her DB self against Tifa. Her eyes turns blood red.
Yang: (Angry) What!? That's definitely unfair! That is totally cheating! That stone must be destroyed at all cost!
The three are in fear of Yang's outburst, Ruby then gently grabs her sister's shoulder calming her slowly, this made Yang slowly calms down as she takes her seat.
Deadpool: I could stop Hitler from being born, rewrite the Star Wars prequels, or even make you take off that mask!
The Mask's hands reach up and begin to pull on his face.
Weiss: Oh come on! Don't tell me he's got this one too! I'm so tired of him!
The Mask: Nnnnoooo! Stop it! Nooooooo!
Deadpool: This... is over.
Everyone is silently watching in what would happen next.
He snaps his fingers. The animation cuts to blank white background before we see the two as storyboard drawings, now reduced to still frames and lines to denote activity.
The Mask: Oh-ho-ho, wow! You weren't kidding!
Ruby: Huh!?
Weiss: What!?
Blake: What happened??
Yang: Did something change???
Deadpool: Aw, beans! We're in the storyboards?!
The Mask: Oh chum, I think that zany stunt of yours ran out the budget.
He opens his pocket, a moth flies out.
Yang: Looks like his money cache ran out short! Eyoo!!
RWB groaned at that pun.
The Mask: Can't make the scene if you don't have the green. Lucky for you...
He pulls in a light bulb and places it over his head.
The Mask: ...I have an idea!
Together, and restricted to cheap live-action cosplay, the pair concoct a number of insane schemes to raise some additional money. From door-to-door salesmanship (culminating in Wade raising a gun at a rejecting buyer, which Mask forces him to lower), to selling Wade's bathwater, to streaming themselves playing Fortnite and asking for donations, and playing competitive poker against a fellow struggling superhero. Finally, as Wade searches the couch of a guy's home, who the Mask has at gunpoint, he finds a dollar.
Blake: (Confused) What's happening???
Weiss: (Confused) I'm as confused as you Blake.
Ruby: I think they are dimension hopping in order to gather some funds to continue the fight?
Yang: Probably! But confusing as it all maybe, this is still a good fight? I guess.
Deadpool: Ah, that's it! Honeybun, we're good to go!
The Mask gives a thumbs up. The fight turns back to animation, the two now in a western standoff under a stormy sky. They glare each other down ready to draw. But instead of guns, they both pull out a Continuity Gem.
Ruby: This is such a rollercoaster of not just emotions but of genre! This is Great! GREAT!!!
Blake: I...( feeling a little bit of deja vu at what Ruby said). I do agree Ruby.
Deadpool: What? Where'd you get that?
The Mask: Oh-ho-ho, Jack. I'm already wearing it!
He tosses it aside and laughs maniacally as his head grows and turns more freaky. His opponent by contrast, looks on sadly as we then cut to black from Deadpool's mask socket.
Yang: Whoa! Scary!
Weiss: (Shivers) Terrifying even!
Deadpool: (singing to the tune of "Part of Your World" from the Little Mermaid) ♫Look at this guy, he isn't me. Although the internet thinks he might be. Perhaps I've gone too far, far from my reality.♫
Ruby: Another genre shift!
Blake: They're going all out on this one.
He seals the Continuity Gem in an envelope and lets a postman Mask whisk it away.
Deadpool: ♫I'll do this right, I'm not a joke, what even is a chimichangaaaaa-♫
Rumba music begins, and the Mask, now donning a samba attire and maracas, shimmies towards Deadpool, turning his maracas into chainsaws as he does so. The two fighters pace every step and action to the rumba beat including a shot. The katana is kicked out of his grasp, but Deadpool still refuses to give in, firing a volley of bullets that are only absorbed by The Mask.
After munching them, said rounds are then spat back out, punching numerous holes in Wade, who has both arms shorn off in a clean upward strike. The Mask then spins and cuts Deadpool's body to pieces, his head flies into the air and The Mask catches it.
Deadpool: F**k you.
Weiss: Language!
The Mask pulls a giant nuke with the term "Fat Lady" spray-painted on it out of his pocket and holds a magnifying glass to the timer, which counts down from five seconds.
Yang: Oh he's in trouble!
The Mask: Indeed...(with a centipede crawling out of the hole in one of his teeth).
Weiss: Ew! Get it away! I hate insects!
It finishes the countdown, but nothing happens, the two look at each other, the Mask taps it and it goes off in a mammoth explosion. We see two piles of dust, blown away by a fan next to the Mask, who is reclining in a lounge chair. The screen irises out, but he holds it open as he delivers one final message.
RWBY: OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!
The Mask: Hahahaha! Who's next?!
He then lets the screen finish closing up, signaling the end of the battle.
K.O!
Ruby: No way! The Mask won!?!?
Weiss: YES!! FINALLY!!! WE HAVE RID OURSELVES WITH THAT VERMIN!!! AWW!! IT FEELS GOOD!! ... b-but wait...
Blake: Good riddance... I guess?
Yang: This feels like a phyrric victory... it feels... Empty...
Weiss: I... I... I do agree Yang, it supposed to feel good... and yet... it feels like we've lost something important... special even.

Result
Boomstick: Yes! He's gone! He's finally gone! He can never bother us again!
He pauses.
Boomstick: ...Why don't I feel as awesome as I should?
Ruby: Yes, we feel it too Boomstick.
Wiz: To be fair, given his more robust history, Deadpool held a solid advantage in experience and skill. He was relatively smarter and more... uh... mentally put together in comparison. So it's possible he could've outsmarted the Mask... if given the chance.
Blake: Given the chance. Like there is always a 10-70% probability and not a guarantee.
Popup: Deadpool's carbonadium sword would not cancel the Mask's regenerative abilities. Carbonadium works by exposing regenerating cells to radioactivity that cancels their healing properties, but the Mask's invulnerability works differently.
Ruby: That makes sense why he did not use it against the Mask.
Blake: So Deadpool could possibly still won. But it did not happen?
Boomstick: Yeah, except that chance was never gonna come. He had some really cool feats of strength and speed, but the Mask blew him out of the water. Like, who cares that Deadpool pulled around a six-ton copter when the Mask knocked over a building weighing over a thousand tons? And comparing their speed, he's a hundred times faster, too. Like, there's no contest!
Ruby: Dude! Toon Force is so OP!
Wiz: Not to mention, the size of the blast from the Mask and Lobo's collision equals 322 teratons of TNT. Trillions of times greater than Deadpool's asteroid feat.
Yang: Yup! The Mask is stronger!
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick.
Boomstick: Wiz, stop. None of that matters. This is stupid.
*Cues Snowflakes (Instrumental Version)
by Bob Bradley, Matt Sanchez & Steve Dymond ft. Rosie Doonan*
Boomstick: We pit Deadpool against a cartoon god. Like you said, the Mask could just say "no" to damage. Deadpool couldn't even really hurt him! This whole thing was a blowout, a... total stomp.
Blake: Agreed.
Ruby: Its kind of... unfair against Deadpool.
Wiz: No... I mean... I guess you're right. We're supposed to be impartial and... we went too far. But Boomstick, it-it's too late to change it.
Boomstick: There's no way to mask what we've done.
Weiss: Terrible pun aside, it feels empty now.
Ruby: (In a sad tone) Yeah, this win does not feel any good at all.
Wiz: The winner is...
Before Wiz can finish, the Mask's arm comes out of the screen, slapping the letter Deadpool mailed during the battle into Boomstick's face.
Boomstick: Ugh, the hell?
Yang: Wait! Isn't that... ?
Blake: Yeah! Its that envelope earlier.
He opens it. As Deadpool's voice reads the contents of the letter, a monochromatic montage of scenes from Deadpool's various appearances on the show (including a brief clip from this episode's very fight) plays on-screen.
Deadpool's voice: Dear Wiz and Boomstick, I know our relationship has been a rocky one. But I just wanted to say... thanks. Thanks for helping me rediscover who I am. Who I really am. The past decade of memes and cosplays and Hot Topic shirts changed me, and I couldn't see it on my own. You made me remember my true self, missing feet and all. And with some help from this royalty-free Sarah McLachlan rip-off song, I hope you can find, in your hearts, your true selves, too. Sayonara, Death Battle. Sayonara.
The music stops slowly as we fade back to Boomstick, who's now teary-eyed. Wiz takes the letter to read it himself.
Boomstick: I can't believe I'm saying this Wiz, but... I wish he was still around!
Ruby: (Sympathising tone) Yeah me too, I'm sad that this is his final Death Battle.
Weiss: (Teary-eyed) Now you guys are making me bawl out with that! Screw you Deadpool!
Blake: I don't think that's the case Weiss.
Weiss: (Stops crying but still teary-eyed) W-what do you mean Blake? *Sniff* *sniff*
Yang: The letter is not the only content of that envelope.
Weiss: (Realizing) What!?
Wiz: Yeah... Me too...
Boomstick shakes the envelope, causing the Continuity Gem to fall into his hand. The two hosts quickly realize what's about to happen.
Wiz: OH NO!!!
Suddenly, Deadpool appears in a flash of light, back from the dead thanks to Wiz and Boomstick's wish.
Deadpool: OH YEAH!!!!
Wiz and Boomstick scream in fear and make a run for it while the Mask's arm can be seen pulling down an image of himself.
Boomstick: OH GOD, I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BACK!!!
Weiss: OH NO PLEASE THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!! I TAKE IT BACK TOO!!
The Mask: The winner... is me! Hahahaha!
After all of that, the girls did not realized that the video automatically paused due to a paper crumpled into a ball the size of a blueberry hits Blake in the head.
Blake: Hey! Who hit me!?
Ruby: Looks like it came from our window and shot from the outside too!
Yang: Looks like someone's pranking.
Weiss: Wait girls, this happened before. That crumpled paper might be a letter. Find it!
The girls started searching for it, after a few moments Ruby found it then picks it up.
Ruby: Got it!
Ruby proceeds to unwrap the crumpled paper revealing a special paper that if unraveled is intact of any crumple from the paper covering it. Inside it is a letter from none other than Deadpool. The girls gather beside the little rose so that they could read it together.
Dear Girls,
You know, it has been a fun ride hanging out with all of you here in Remnant, well thanks for my time travelling buddies at TVA I was able to provide you of anything from Earth.
And yes! The good news is earth is not destroyed like it was said in the letter you got along with these DVD's of death battle footages you have, so hooray! And with that, maybe you can visit planet earth someday alongside all of your friends here.
Good times will always be good times, but my contract of appearing here is now finished and I am moving on to my next adventure. But don't you all be sad and fret not! Since all of you are my good friends and are fun people to hang out with, even if my appearance contract will never be renewed thus not appearing in this show anymore, I will still provide each of you gifts straight from earth!
Again thank you for the happy memories you created with me and I will forever cherish it. But for now, this is where we part our ways, but you know what one salesman use to say: "Where there is a meeting, there is always a parting. Its up to us how long will that parting lasts." Well, until we all meet again! See you all someday and goodbye!
- Your Bestest of buddy,
The Merc with the Mouth,
Deadpool.
After they finished reading that, all four girls went to the window where the pellet has been shot and look outside.
There they see in the distance a small figure dressed in red spandex walking away with his back facing them, he is waving goodbye as he approach the alley exiting the dorms and eventually to the main pathway outside Beacon.
Ruby: Goodbye, old friend.
Weiss: I won't miss you (arms crossed).
Blake: Good to hear he'll stay in touch.
Yang: Well, we can still meet him up someday, maybe we plan to visit planet earth.
Ruby: Yeah, someday.
All four of them turn back to the TV which they now realized that it paused automatically.
Ruby: Hey! Let's watch the next one.
Yang: Agreed! I want to see whose next!
Weiss: Or maybe we can watch one more since there is no class tomorrow.
Blake: Yeah let's do it then!
Ruby then grabs the remote and press play.
Next time
SEASON FINALE
Yang: Oh season finale! Looks like another banger episode this will be!
Guy: I have the power of youth at my side!
All Might: I AM HERE!!!
Might Guy vs. All Might
Ruby: Oooooohhh!! Might Guy? Or Gai? Depending on how you read it! From Narutoverse! Awesome!
Weiss: And whose his opponent? He looks big and muscular.
Blake: This is probably a hand to hand or fist to fist battle.
Yang: (Pumping one of her fist) Oh yeah! Let's watch it!
Ruby: With pleasure!
Ruby then replaces the CD and press play.
Authors Note:
Thanks for making this far for this episode.
This episode is a little special to make as this is the part where I considered by the past author pass the torch to me to continue this series. And this is what I consider his sendoff in making this book.
With that, he gave me a letter to read for all of you who are his fans of the original author so that you guys may have a good closure for the past and give way to the present and for the future too.
Here goes:
Hey guys! Deadpoolmerkwiththemouth here! I hope you guys are having a wonderful day, afternoon or night wherever you are.
And like I said in the last page of my DB book, it is with a heavy heart that I need to discontinue this series because I can't keep up with all the latest episodes they are doing too frequently and second, I don't feel like doing this kind of fanfic anymore, so I need to move on and I need to write new ones. But worry not, the first 126 episodes will be available on my Wattpad page and when you finish you can continue reading here and I hope you give this author a chance of creating episodes that I can't create anymore, he is trying his best like I did mine.
I thank all of you for understanding my decision to stop working on this book but hey, I think this book is on good hands! Thanks to Jirehl_Flynn here.
Think of it like a regeneration from Doctor Who but he's a writer instead of a Time Lord, with the previous author going away but being replaced by a new one, well the same thing is we enjoyed what we do, like I enjoy doing this fanfic back then. I'm sure our "Second Doctor" here is enjoying making this episode and other future ones because he pours his heart out of it and he maybe slow at releasing the latest episodes, he thanks all of you for waiting so patiently.
So then, I hope you enjoy this and the coming episodes and I hope you also enjoy what you are reading right now.
We reached an end of an era but we have reached a new beginning with that era ending. With that, I hope you have a good day everyone!
And once again for the last time.
CHIMICHANGAS!!!
... Yep! With that out of the way, I hope you guys enjoy this new era of RWBY watches Death Battle.
And for those who still finding this out after being discontinued, just you for you to know we are here... we are waiting... and we will welcome you like the OG author did.
Until then, see you around the next episode!
