There's a place where our shields will lay shattered, and the fear's all that's left in our hearts. Our strength and our courage have run out, we fall apart. When we lose our faith, and forsake our friends. When the moon is gone, and we've reached our ends.
I may fall
3rd person
(I have decided to rewrite the first few chapters enjoy)
"Are you ready" ruby asked Weiss who was doing the final checks on Myternaster.
"Of course I am ready you dolt. You are the one who told me to arrive early to prep myself"
"I know I am just nervous is all" ruby said hopping from foot to foot
"well don't be, the last thing we need is for you to let nerves get the best of you; besides we are going to win no matter what, then we, one of us will go on to the finals"
Ruby take a deep breath and nod "you're right"
"Of course I am you dunce" Weiss stands and takes a deep breath
A single bell rang in the locker room, signaling for the two to make their way to the arena. They glance at each other then walk together to the second round of the vytal tournament.
"Ah yes here we are in our long stream of second rounds this round will be very exciting. On the west side of the arena we have ruby rose and Weiss Schnee from team RWBY of vale, and on the east side we have lance Veltario and Dedra Linkin from team LEAD of vacuo. This is sure to be an interesting mash up, what do you say professor port" Dr. Oobleck said rushed over the intercom system.
" yes you are most certainly right; it will be interesting to see how team ruby's fighting style will fair against lance a ferret fauns and expert lasso user, and dedra a baseball star. But I guess we will just have to see for ourselves. You know I once…"
"You are absolutely right we will most definitely have to see for ourselves. Luckily we don't have to wait long." Dr. Oobleck said cutting off professor port.
"10…9…8"the crowd chants
"You can do it ruby "Yang yells from the crowd, her and Blake sit together Blake is holding a team rwby flag. Ruby smiles and waves when she notices them.
Ruby's heart pounds in her chest, her body vibrating with anticipation, Weiss takes a deep breath.
"We got this" Weiss says reassuring herself more than ruby, ruby nods
"3… 2…1" a loud buzzer filled the arena and like birds they were off.
Weiss used her semblance to propel herself backwards, while ruby used hers to charge at Dedra. Ruby quickly took in every detail of the baseball player. Her typical baseball player stance, her clean baseball uniform her knee and elbow pads, her black cleats and knee high socks, her long black ponytail put up in her blue baseball cap, the way her hands grip the bat; she took it all in. ruby quickly took her by surprise using crescent rose to sweep her feet out from under her; Dedra uses her baseball bat to knock ruby back, firing the head of it at ruby, and then reeling it back in. ruby stumble back while dedra stood up, they square off against each other.
Suddenly a loud ding signaled the arena change. Ruby propelled herself into the air, Weiss uses her glyphs to do the same. Lance and Dedra stood still as the arena transforms from solid ground to a small island on one half, and a desert like terrain with many large rocks on the other.
Weiss looks at ruby to see if the two are on the same page, ruby nods. The two make their way to the biggest tallest rock in the arena.
"Okay, I think we can handle this" Weiss says to ruby.
"How about a little freezer burn" ruby says
"I'll bring the freezer if you bring the burn" Weiss says changing the dust clip in her rapier to the blue dust setting.
Weiss used her glyphs to propel herself to the water freezing it over with Myternaster. Then ruby fired a red dust round at the frozen water causing it to burst and turn to mist. Weiss propels herself back to the rock where ruby waits for her.
"Looks like team RWBY has provide themselves with a slight advantage how will team LEAD respond" Oobleck announced
Ruby surveys the small island and can see where lance and dedra are hiding, we can easily trap them and make them sitting ducks, ruby thought to herself. Ruby glanced at Weiss, who smirked she knew exactly what ruby was thinking.
"Ice flower" ruby orders
Weiss prepares her glyph and ruby turn crescent rose into a sniper, she aim, and fires. Large ice flowers surround Lance and Dedra, trapping them on the small island.
"Team rwby is giving team lead a run for their money by minimizing there range of field." Oobleck commentated
"We got them" ruby says,
Weiss opened her mouth to say something, but before a word was spoken Dedra burst the ice using her signature home run bash with a round of explosive dust, a move she was well known for. Ice shards came flying towards ruby and Weiss, Weiss put up a glyph to prevent the ice from hitting them, redirecting it back at team lead.
Dedra swung her bat at the ice shattering the shards on contact. Then she shot her bat at the rock Weiss and ruby stood on, smashing it to pieces. Weiss and ruby fell to the ground. The mist was thick and hard to see through. Ruby could hardly see what was around her let alone right next to her. The two stood back up, then a lasso rung around Weiss and tighten at her ankles; one hard tug and Weiss was on the ground being dragged away.
"WEISS!" ruby yelled
The sound of someone popping their gum startled ruby. She turned to look, but was too late. Dedra hit ruby with her homerun bash sending ruby flying across the arena into a big rock. Ruby's aura meter was low. Ruby struggled to stand, as soon as she was on her feet a lasso wrapped around her ankles and she fall back to the ground, and got dragged across the rocky terrain. Lance used his semblance to hover in the air, he had the ability to give himself and other things a temporary weightless ness. Ruby shortly hover above the ground he twirls her around like a rag doll then throws her, her full weight coming back the instant his lasso wasn't making contact. Ruby prepared for impact, but it never came because Weiss uses her glyphs to catch ruby. They land on the small island near the water. A dust round appears next them Weiss picks it up and loads it into myternaster. Ruby turn crescent rose back into a scythe.
"Let's give them a taste of our new move windy day" ruby says
Weiss nods she places a glyph above ruby's head and ruby starts to run in circles, using her semblance. Rose petals hover above me forming a tornado once it's big enough Weiss uses her glyphs to direct the tornado around the field.
The crowd goes wild at the awesome display of team work. Lance and Dedra are quickly picked up by the tornado they scream as they finally fall in the water. There aura levels in the danger zone. Weiss freezes the water once again and ruby fires crescent rose to make a hole for them to escape. They barely make it out before Weiss and ruby are on top them. Ruby give Dedra her finishing move knocking her across the ice, and into the knock out zone, eliminating her from the match. Weiss does the same to lance using her glyphs in a zigzag formation and myternaster to strike him. His aura levels go too low and he is eliminated.
The final buzzer rings and the crowd goes wild, ruby jump up and down,
"We did it, we did it, we did it!" she cheers
Weiss sighs in relief then smiles "of course we did didn't I say we would win"
Ruby engulfed Weiss in a hug. Weiss stiffens at first but then hugs back.
"Wow what an amazing match team rwby has won and will proceed to the finals." Oobleck announces
"Yeah go ruby!" yang cheers
Cinder watched the team from in the stands, and smirked. Just as she predicted.
Hey everyone I decided to rewrite the first few chapters to help my story make more sense, hope you like it. I know my first few chapters are really rough this was my first fanfic, so now that I got the hang of it I will make some minor improvements.
