So, I've been burnt out to hell. Long story short, I haven't mustered the energy to write for a while due to the combined factors of major events, hardships and straight up laziness. So I'm trying something a bit lighter and simpler. Mortal Kombat 11 intros with RWBY characters. I love Mortal Kombat and I love RWBY, warts and all. So I'm compiling different characters from RWBY to interact with MK11 characters. Think of each RWBY character like a Kombat Pack character so they will only interact with characters from the game (…for now).
Let's kick this off with the series mascot and protagonist…Ruby Rose!
Mirror Match
Ruby: You came a long way to cause trouble, Neo!
Ruby: I'm not a mute, you doofus!
Ruby: Wait, you're actually me?!
Ruby: Mom, is that you?
Ruby: I've missed you so much, Ruby
Ruby: I almost believed you for a second there
Ruby: Emerald's going to pay for messing with me
Ruby: I'm as real as you, clone Me
Ruby: Not sure if that makes me more or less worried
Ruby: Don't think Team RWBY can handle two of us
Ruby: Neither can Salem or the Grimm
Ruby: How do I know you're not working for her?
Vs. Cassie Cage
Ruby Rose: Can you help me? I'm looking for my teammates.
Cassie Cage: Hot blonde, cat girl and Frost 2.0?
Ruby Rose: Yep! That's them!
Ruby Rose: Looking for a sparring partner, Cassie?
Cassie Cage: I wanna see what that scythe can do
Ruby Rose: Without an aura, it'll be messy
Cassie Cage: Can I try out that scythe? Just once?
Ruby Rose: Crescent Rose needs a lot of love
Cassie Cage: I know how to look after weapons, Ruby
Cassie Cage: Your sister's told me all about you, Ruby
Ruby Rose: Ooh, Yang mention any good parts?
Cassie Cage: If you back it up, they'll be even better
Vs Sonya Blade
Sonya Blade: Wait, you're how old?
Ruby Rose: I'm 17 and I've been fighting for two years
Sonya Blade: Doesn't mean you're prepared for war
Sonya Blade: You're too attached to that scythe, Ruby!
Ruby Rose: I can cut through hordes of Grimm with this baby
Sonya Blade: And without it?
Ruby Rose: So you're in charge of the Special Forces?
Sonya Blade: You sound tense, don't you trust me?
Ruby Rose: I haven't had the best experience with generals
Ruby Rose: So what are you gonna do with me and my friends?
Sonya Blade: Keep you under escort till we find you a way home
Ruby Rose: That sounds like house arrest
Vs Johnny Cage
Johnny Cage: Ever thought about show biz?
Ruby Rose: Sorry, I'm too camera shy
Johnny Cage: Maybe when you're older, sweetheart
Johnny Cage: So you're not from Earthrealm?
Ruby Rose: No, I'm from Remnant
Johnny Cage: So that technically makes you an alien?
Ruby Rose: Don't make me hit you, Johnny!
Johnny Cage: With your fists or the weaponised weathervane?
Ruby Rose: Now you're gonna get it!
Ruby Rose: You kind of remind me of my Dad
Johnny Cage: Sorry, got my hands full with just one little girl
Ruby Rose: Cassie's lucky to have you
Vs Jacqui Briggs
Jacqui Briggs: Me and Yang have been comparing stats
Ruby Rose: Nothing beats her when she gets going
Jacqui Briggs: She nearly roasted me in our last match
Jacqui Briggs: That scythe looks heavy, Ruby
Ruby Rose: No, Jacqui you can't borrow her
Jacqui Briggs: Damn it, so close
Ruby Rose: I heard about your mom, I'm sorry
Jacqui Briggs: She'll always be with me, Ruby
Ruby Rose: I hope so
Ruby Rose: I've lost my mother as well, Jacqui
Jacqui Briggs: She sounded like an amazing woman
Ruby Rose: She was the best
Vs Jax
Jax: I don't like children fighting in war
Ruby Rose: Your daughter's a fighter
Jax: She's not a minor
Jax: Sonya tells me you need more practice
Ruby Rose: My hand-to-hand is fine
Jax: Then drop the scythe and let's go
Ruby Rose: What happened to your arms?
Jax: Not a story you want to know
Ruby Rose: You don't need to baby me, Jax
Ruby Rose: You think Jacqui can beat Yang?
Jax: A superpowered tantrum can't beat military discipline
Ruby Rose: Yang can take it and dish out even more
Vs Liu Kang
Ruby Rose: So you're Earthrealm's champion?
Liu Kang: That is what many call me
Ruby Rose: Can I have your autograph afterwards?
Ruby Rose: You and Lie Ren would get along great
Liu Kang: He is also a skilled warrior?
Ruby Rose: And he's into the whole zen monk thing
Liu Kang: So this is Ruby Rose
Ruby Rose: Am I shorter than you expected?
Liu Kang: And much younger
Liu Kang: Mastering your body is essential for kombat
Ruby Rose: I can move faster than you can see
Liu Kang: Your skill doesn't match your speed
Vs Kung Lao
Ruby Rose: I like your hat
Kung Lao: It's but an accessory to my greatness
Ruby Rose: Your ego, not so much
Ruby Rose: I think you and Liu Kang are both awesome!
Kung Lao: Flattery doesn't work on me, Miss Rose
Ruby Rose: Because you've never gotten it?
Kung Lao: My hat against your scythe
Ruby Rose: Try not to cry when you lose, Kung Lao
Kung Lao: I won't be the one crying, Ruby
Kung Lao: Your weapon is gratuitously designed
Ruby Rose: Coming from the monk with the bladed hat?/It's pretty pass on Remnant
Kung Lao: I am not dependent on my weapon
Vs Kitana
Ruby Rose: So you're the queen of Outworld?
Kitana: I am its Kahn, child
Ruby Rose: As long as you're a friend
Ruby Rose: Earthrealm is just trying to help me go home
Kitana: How do I know you're not being used as soldiers?
Ruby Rose: We're not the ones starting a fight
Kitana: What is your quarry, young Huntress?
Ruby Rose: Grimm, bad guys, the usual suspects
Kitana: The latter is a very broad definition
Kitana: What kind of realm requires such brutal weaponry?
Ruby Rose: One focused on survival against countless monsters
Kitana: Take heed before you swing that blade here
Vs Jade
Jade: You do not belong here, Miss Rose
Ruby Rose: I'm not here to cause trouble, Jade
Jade: More disreputable groups will be looking for you
Jade: That scythe looks unwieldly
Ruby Rose: It's also a customisable, high-impact sniper rifle
Jade: A warrior's spirit is not determined by the steel they carry
Ruby Rose: So you and Kitana are 10,000 years old?
Jade: Edenians are long-lived, Ruby Rose
Ruby Rose: You must have seen a lot of great fights
Ruby Rose: I don't want to be caught up in another war
Jade: Then you best find your way home soon
Ruby Rose: There are people here who depend on me
Vs Raiden
Ruby Rose: Wait, you're an actual god?
Raiden: I am Earthrealm's protector
Ruby Rose: As long as you don't have a God Complex
Ruby Rose: We could use your help back on Remnant
Raiden: I cannot involve myself in your world's affairs
Ruby Rose: Our world's divided and about to be conquered
Raiden: Does every human on Remnant possess an Aura?
Ruby Rose: Every living thing with a soul, Raiden
Raiden: Such power could rival the Jinsei
Raiden: Salem seeks to destroy humanity?
Ruby Rose: She wants to tear us down so we'll live in fear of her
Raiden: Her evil must not spread beyond Remnant!
Vs Kotal Kahn
Ruby Rose: Remnant isn't a threat to Outworld
Kotal Kahn: These soulless beasts tell a different tale
Ruby Rose: The Grimm are drawn to negative emotions
Ruby Rose: You gave up your throne to Kitana?
Kotal Kahn: She earned it when she united Outworld
Ruby Rose: Remnant needs someone like you
Kotal Kahn: Your silver eyes can destroy these Grimm?
Ruby Rose: They're tied to my emotions and the people I love
Kotal Kahn: Then you require further instruction
Kotal Kahn: Why do you side with Earthrealm?
Ruby Rose: They've promised to help me get back to Remnant
Kotal Kahn: Do not follow others blindly, young Huntress
Vs Nightwolf
Nightwolf: You are also blessed by spirits
Ruby Rose: The Silver Eyed Warriors were created by the God of Light
Nightwolf: Your heart is pure but is your mind clear?
Nightwolf: Red petals revealed your location
Ruby Rose: It's just part of my Semblance
Nightwolf: Do not use your power as a crutch, Ruby
Ruby Rose: Could the Great Spirit help us return to Remnant?
Nightwolf: She guides only the Matoka
Ruby Rose: Was worth a try
Ruby Rose: What's it like, being Nightwolf?
Nightwolf: I am forever grateful to the Great Spirit
Ruby Rose: I would be too, after what you went through
Vs Sub Zero
Ruby Rose: You and Weiss have a lot in common
Sub-Zero: Your teammate's skill lies in Glyphs, not cryomancy
Ruby Rose: You both have matching scars
Ruby Rose: I hear you're one of this realm's greatest warriors
Sub-Zero: I am Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei
Ruby Rose: So, you must be a tough cookie
Sub-Zero: Your idealism is a double-edged sword
Ruby Rose: A Huntress fights for the people, Sub-Zero
Sub-Zero: But you cannot fight for all of them
Sub-Zero: You are too reliant on your weapon
Ruby Rose: I've survived this long, haven't I?
Sub-Zero: A true warrior must be versatile in kombat
Vs Scorpion
Scorpion: Your mother came to this realm once
Ruby Rose: Did she ever leave?
Scorpion: Alive but not unscathed
Scorpion: You remain hopeful after so much loss
Ruby Rose: If I just gave up, I would have never been able to move forward
Scorpion: Wise words, young Huntress
Ruby Rose: You and Yang sparred yet?
Scorpion: Her flames burn bright, but it is not hellfire
Ruby Rose: She kicked your ass, didn't she?
Ruby Rose: I've been tempted by vengeance as well
Scorpion: You have lost family?
Ruby Rose: And I know who's responsible
Vs Baraka
Ruby Rose: Do you eat people in the middle of a fight?
Baraka: Tarkatans savour the blood of their enemies!
Ruby Rose: You'll leave yourself open to getting killed
Ruby Rose: I've taken down bigger and badder things than you
Baraka: Without that scythe, you are a lamb amongst wolves
Ruby Rose: You won't gobble me up, Baraka
Baraka: My blades will rend your flesh
Ruby Rose: I'll shoot you down before you get near me
Baraka: You may try, human
Baraka: How do silver eyes taste?
Ruby Rose: I don't know, and neither will you
Baraka: I intend to find out
Vs Shao Kahn
Shao Kahn: You are a long way from home, Rose
Ruby Rose: I kill monsters wherever and whoever they are
Shao Kahn: Not this one, girl
Shao Kahn: You and your comrades will serve me
Ruby Rose: That's not going to happen, Shao Kahn
Shao Kahn: Your sister said those words to me
Ruby Rose: Wow, you're a step down from Salem
Shao Kahn: My power far surpasses hers
Ruby Rose: Face the facts, you're all washed up
Ruby Rose: I killed your war dogs
Shao Kahn: You will pay dearly for that, brat
Ruby Rose: I've had more trouble from Beowolves
Vs Shang Tsung
Shang Tsung: Such a simple, honest soul
Ruby Rose: Keep your hands to yourself, creep
Shang Tsung: It will prove invaluable to my collection
Shang Tsung: I can help you destroy Salem
Ruby Rose: I'm not desperate enough to gamble with my soul
Shang Tsung: What about your eyes, Miss Rose?
Ruby Rose: Stay away from Remnant, Shang Tsung
Shang Tsung: It has quite a fascinating aura
Ruby Rose: It will eat you alive if you're not careful
Ruby Rose: Why are you taking people from Remnant?
Shang Tsung: I seek to unlock its secrets
Ruby Rose: Prepare to be disappointed
Vs Sindel
Sindel: You will serve as my bodyguard
Ruby Rose: I'm not for sale, Sindel
Sindel: I want a slave, not a mercenary
Sindel: You are not welcome in this realm, child
Ruby Rose: I didn't come here by choice
Sindel: Flee or you shall be punished
Ruby Rose: I thought Cinder was bad
Sindel: She's pathetic, you're contemptable
Ruby Rose: And you're worse
Ruby Rose: Shao Kahn won't be able to take Remnant
Sindel: The Grimm are as pitiful as your meagre kingdoms
Ruby Rose: It's not them you should be worried about
Vs Kollector
Kollector: Your weapon is unique
Ruby Rose: Thanks but it's also mine
Kollector: Not for much longer
Kollector: Outworld will have all of Remnant's Dust
Ruby Rose: I know a few people who won't agree to that
Kollector: They will pay one way or another
Ruby Rose: So you have six arms?
Kollector: The Naknada are peerless craftsmen
Ruby Rose: And crazed kleptomaniacs
Ruby Rose: You tried stealing Weiss's Dust caches!
Kollector: These crystals are priceless
Ruby Rose: And will literally blow up in your face
Vs Kano:
Kano: Well, aren't you just precious?
Ruby Rose: Why do I always get the creepy guys?
Kano: Just trying to be friendly, love
Kano: Ever thought about joining the Black Dragon?
Ruby Rose: I became a Huntress to help people, not hurt them
Kano: School's out, Ruby
Ruby Rose: Go near Cassie or Jacqui, you lose your other eye
Kano: Who's to say you're keeping yours?
Ruby Rose: Come near me, you lose your head
Ruby Rose: Nice laser eye, Kano
Kano: You've got an eye for quality, girlie
Ruby Rose: It's the only thing about you I like
Vs Kabal
Kabal: You can't outrun me, Ruby
Ruby Rose: I can outgun you, Kabal
Kabal: All bets are off, then
Kabal: So you're from another planet?
Ruby Rose: I'm a licensed Huntress from Remnant
Kabal: That supposed to mean something here?
Ruby Rose: Think you're faster than me?
Kabal: I'd bet your life on it, Ruby
Ruby Rose: You're not as well-equipped though
Ruby Rose: Crescent Rose against your hook swords?
Kabal: You looking for a contest, Rose?
Ruby Rose: You seem more like a practice dummy
Vs D'Vorah
Ruby Rose: Seriously, you are disgusting
D'Vorah: The Kytinn feel like-minded about humans
Ruby Rose: We don't puke up larvae
Ruby Rose: Sending the Swarm against the Grimm is a terrible idea
D'Vorah: We will assimilate them, not eradicate them
Ruby Rose: Two bugs, one bullet, D'Vorah
D'Vorah: Kronika offers aid to Remnant
Ruby Rose: You're a terrible liar, D'Vorah
D'Vorah: And you are poor nourishment, Ruby Rose
D'Vorah: Your flesh will sustain the Hive
Ruby Rose: I've slaughtered hundreds like you
D'Vorah: The Swarm is numberless
Vs Erron Black
Erron Black: That's a hell of a piece, Miss Rose
Ruby Rose: And you're coming at me with those peashooters?
Erron Black: I'm putting you down with them
Erron Black: You're a wanted girl, Little Red
Ruby Rose: Wanted by Atlas or Outworld?
Erron Black: I bag you for whoever pays more
Ruby Rose: Who sent you after me?
Erron Black: Didn't ask, just waiting on my paycheck
Ruby Rose: You'll be bankrupt, Black
Ruby Rose: You related to Mercury Black?
Erron Black: I ain't a family man, missy
Ruby Rose: But you're both equally bad
Vs Skarlet
Ruby Rose: You're getting desperate, Skarlet
Skarlet: Your blood has an otherworldly flavour
Ruby Rose: Maybe because I'm not from around here
Ruby Rose: You tried to brainwash me!
Skarlet: The Blood Code would have imbued you with its power
Ruby Rose: And would've driven me insane
Skarlet: Are you huntress or hunted?
Ruby Rose: Ask again after this fight
Skarlet: Gladly
Skarlet: So young to have slain so many
Ruby Rose: I got this far, I can go further
Skarlet: How much blood is on your hands, I wonder?
Vs Noob Saibot
Noob: The Grimm will be mine to command
Ruby Rose: Don't think Salem will like that
Noob: She will be consumed by my shadows
Noob: Darkness awaits your world
Ruby Rose: I hear a lot of bark but no bite
Noob: You will feel it
Ruby Rose: My eyes don't work on you
Noob: I am not Grimm, I am Wraith!
Ruby Rose: I'll kill you either way
Ruby Rose: I don't have time for this, Bi-Han
Noob: I will enslave your soul
Ruby Rose: I've got bigger problems to deal with
Vs Frost
Frost: What makes you a great leader?
Ruby Rose: I give people reasons to follow me
Frost: You have none for me, Rose
Frost: The Lin Kuei will dominate Remnant!
Ruby Rose: Don't you have to be Grandmaster first?
Frost: Big mistake, Rose
Ruby Rose: Weiss on her worst day isn't as bad as you
Frost: That spoilt heiress pales to my skill
Ruby Rose: She'd splatter you, Frost
Ruby Rose: Heard you dropped out of the Lin Kuei
Frost: I outgrew Sub-Zero's platitudes
Ruby Rose: I don't respect people who spit on their teachers
Vs Geras
Ruby Rose: You're immortal as well?
Geras: Unlike Salem, my creator granted me my power
Ruby Rose: You'll need some tweaking after this fight
Ruby Rose: Do you know what happened to my mother?
Geras: Join Kronika and she will reveal her fate
Ruby Rose: Knew there were strings attached with this
Geras: Your mother fought well against me
Ruby Rose: What do you know, Geras?
Geras: That no victory came from her skill
Geras: Ozpin has left you ill-prepared
Ruby Rose: You know about him?
Geras: Remnant's history is but a brief chapter in time
Vs Cetrion
Cetrion: Your purity is a priceless virtue
Ruby Rose: Then why are you threatening me?
Cetrion: You compromise Mother's vision
Cetrion: The silver-eyed huntress
Ruby Rose: Also, the leader of team RWBY
Cetrion: Do not let pride fester into hubris, Ruby Rose
Ruby Rose: You remind me too much of Salem
Cetrion: She stole her power from the Brothers
Ruby Rose: You're stealing free will, just like her
Ruby Rose: Kronika will destroy everything, even you
Cetrion: Her efforts will balance the realms
Ruby Rose: By wiping out her creations and starting from scratch?
Vs Terminator
The Terminator: You come from a different earth?
Ruby Rose: I'm from Remnant
The Terminator: What is Remnant?
The Terminator: What is your weapon's manufacturer?
Ruby Rose: Crescent Rose is my baby
The Terminator: It will be studied after your termination
Ruby Rose: You one of Ironwood's new models?
The Terminator: No
Ruby Rose: Then I won't worry about destroying you
Ruby Rose: You'll help us fight Salem?
The Terminator: I have been reprogrammed to obey you
Ruby Rose: You'll need to be broken in first
Vs The Joker
The Joker: Ooh, I think I'm in love
Ruby Rose: You better be talking about Crescent Rose
The Joker: What a lovely name! I'll carve it on your corpse!
The Joker: My, Ruby, what a big scythe you have!
Ruby Rose: All the better to slice you up
The Joker: Now that's my girl!
Ruby Rose: You remind me a lot of Tyrian
The Joker: He's got the showmanship, but not the wit
Ruby Rose: Of course you nutjobs have met
Ruby Rose: What's with the make-up?
The Joker: I dress to impress, Little Miss Red Hood
Ruby Rose: Has it impressed anyone yet?
Vs Spawn
Ruby Rose: Nyx told me where to find you
Spawn: That supposed to make me trust you?
Ruby Rose: She's not trying to trick you and neither am I
Ruby Rose: You know anything about killing immortals?
Spawn: I've beaten God and the Devil, kid
Ruby Rose: Then, I've got a proposition for you
Spawn: You got a hard bite on you, kid
Ruby Rose: I bear my teeth if someone tries to mess with me
Spawn: You're still just an pup, Ruby
Spawn: You're a sitting duck without that scythe
Ruby Rose: That's rich coming from the walking armoury
Spawn: We can go bare-knuckles, if you have the balls
Vs Fujin
Fujin: Your mother came to this world long ago
Ruby Rose: Why was she here, Fujin?
Fujin: She sought allies to destroy Salem
Fujin: You cut through the air with abandon
Ruby Rose: My speed's one of my biggest advantages in a fight
Fujin: Unless you miss your mark, Ruby Rose
Ruby Rose: I've lost so many friends to war
Fujin: Yet you continue to advance forward
Ruby Rose: No one else is going to die while I'm standing
Ruby Rose: Have you been spending time with Yang, Fujin?
Fujin: She tried and failed to break the wind
Ruby Rose: That just sounds so wrong
Vs Sheeva
Sheeva: Your weapon appears cumbersome
Ruby Rose: Mind if I prove you wrong, Your Highness?
Sheeva: I welcome the challenge, little Huntress
Sheeva: You come from another world?
Ruby Rose: I'm still human, Queen Sheeva
Sheeva: No wonder you need such a ridiculous weapon
Ruby Rose: What's it like, having four arms?
Sheeva: It ensures victory against lesser opponents
Ruby Rose: Don't test me
Ruby Rose: We don't have anything like you on Remnant
Sheeva: And we do not have Grimm on Outworld
Ruby Rose: That could change if we're not careful
Vs Robocop
Robocop: Can you fly, Ruby?
Ruby Rose: I can try but not for long
Robocop: Interesting
Robocop: You are a licensed Huntress?
Ruby Rose: Just got my badge, Murphy
Robocop: Minors should not be forced into service
Ruby Rose: Heard Ironwood's handed you a warrant for us
Robocop: I answer to OCP, not Atlas
Ruby Rose: Better than the alternative, I guess
Ruby Rose: What kind of weapons you got on you?
Robocop: They are OCP property/These aren't toys, Ruby
Ruby Rose: Sorry, I'm big on weapons
I admit, the order in which I wrote these is odd and did end up creating a nebulous narrative of sorts but hope you enjoyed it. I did try to keep everyone in character and touch on characteristics that would naturally come between each interaction. Addendum: I've addded in mirror matches and non-MK character intros as well. Will continue to do the same with consequent chapters.
Next time: Weiss Schnee!
