"THIS IS SO EXCITING! How hard do you think it will be? Why do you always wear the same armor? Is it the only armor you have? Do you think we are going to win; WELL OF COURSE WE ARE! I mean why wouldn't we? Do you think Jaune is hurt because we didn't pick him? HELLO EARTH TO PYRRAH ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?"
"Yes Nora, I am just trying to focus and think of a strategy before the match. To answer your questions, I do think it will be hard. This is my best armor so I wear it a lot. I hope we win. Jaune understands why we didn't pick him. Now can you please calm down?"
"Calm down! No way how can you even say that I am hurt, sad, and maybe a little bit hyper but that last one isn't your fault "Nora said bouncing from one part of the room to the other.
A single ding indicated that it is time for the two to make their way to the arena.
"Oh this is so exciting" Nora squealed
"Cheer up Jaune I'm sure Nora and Pyrrah know what they are doing" ruby said to jaune who sighed in response.
Ren and Blake sat together holding identical team JNPR flags.
"This will be a match to see wouldn't you say professor port" Dr. Oobleck rang over the intercom
"most certainly, pyrrah a world renowned fighter and one of my favorite students Nora from team jnpr going against penny and onyx from team wpon(weapon) we all saw how well they did the first round" port said through his big mustache
"Wait pyrrah is fighting penny" ruby said with some level of shock
"Yeah, why?" Blake asked
"Oh no "ruby said standing
"What's wrong sis"
"Yeah what's with the dumb look is there something you are not telling us?" Weiss ask
"I'll be back save my spot "ruby rushed off in a cloud of rose petals
"Hey, what gives" Weiss complained
"Ruby? What brings you to my locker room right before my match?" Penny ask curious
"Penny I got to tell you something"
"What is it ruby you know you can tell me anything" penny reassures ruby
"You are going up against pyrrah Nikos" ruby says waving her hands in the air
"I am well aware of this"
"No penny you don't get it pyrrah semblance is polarity, you know magnetism" ruby explained flustered
"Oh… I can see why this will be a problem, do not worry ruby I will be sure to be extra careful"
"Okay I just had to tell you I know that you don't want people to find out that you are an um you know beep, bop, beep" ruby trailed off, doing the robot
"Don't worry I am sure everything will be fine (hiccup) uh there is absolutely nothing to worry about (hiccup)"
ruby frowned
A single ding rang throughout the locker room indicating that it was time for penny to make her way to the arena
"Good luck out there" ruby said before vanishing and leaving rose petals behind in her wake.
Pyrrah
"In the west we have world renowned fighter Pyrrah Nikos and her team mate Nora Valkyrie from team JNPR of Beacon, and in the east we have Penny Poladian and Onyx Showgo from team WPON of atlas. Yes, this will surely be a fight to remember" Dr. Oobleck announced
I waved at the cheering crowd catching jaunt's eyes I smiled, he did too. Nora made some kind of noise which caused Ren to shake his head.
"That is totally what a sloth sounds like" Nora said smiling
"10…9…8"
I get into stance while Nora loads her rocket launcher, across from us penny and onyx also prepare penny looks like she is going after Nora which leaves me with onyx. He looks like a worthy opponent. His weapon is a double ended scythe much like ruby's but a lot smaller his lack of armor or protection must mean he is confident in his ability's.
"5…4…3" okay time to show him what you got. A loud buzzer went off in sync with Nora's rocket launcher. Penny went flying back.
I charge at onyx shield and spear in hand, he whirls his double ended scythe around I block with my shield then give him a side jab with my spear. He splits the tow scythes apart now holding two weapons. He takes quick slashes at me but I easily dodge with my shield. I go for a round house kick but miss and fall, due to his semblance, which allows him to faze through objects. I stand ready to go; he attempts to hit me with his scythe but I use my semblance to block it he looks confused I take the opportunity to kick him in the air then fire my shotgun at him to send him flying.
The crowd goes wild, a loud ding signaled the arena change. The ground shook and rumbled causing it to transform into lava stone with many large rocks everywhere some parts of the ground even spewed fire.
Nora came flying past me slamming into the ground her war hammer, magnhild, lay on the ground far away. Penny had seven swords all attached to wire aimed at Nora. I run towards magnhild in the corner of my eye I see onyx charging me I quickly dodge and send him flying with a shot to the chest using yellow dust to make it more effective. I throw my spear after him spearing him to a large rock unable to move. The war hammer is not so surprisingly heavy, I have to use my semblance to move it, but I am careful to make it look like I am holding it.
Penny has Nora cornered she fires a large beam at her, I throw my shield to dodge it, it does reflecting the beam back at penny.
"Nora catch!" I throw magnhild using my control over polarity, she swings hard at penny sending her flying. I grab my shield, Nora picks up a round of dust and puts it in her hammer. I run over to onyx a take out my spear, before I can even hit him he fazed through the rock.
"Pyrrah switch" Nora calls, I nod.
I turn and look for penny while Nora smashes the rock onyx just went through. Penny is up and firing a beam at me I dodge with my shield. There are now nine swords, she quickly uses all nine to attack me I barely dodge by weaving and flipping, also using my semblance.
No wonder why Nora wanted to switch this girl is incredibly strong, her power is unlike anything I have faced before. But I know how to stop her I can use my semblance to get her wires tangled the she will be forced to do hand to hand combat where I outmatch her.
I continue to dodge the barrage of swords all while using my semblance to tangle the wire. Penny doesn't realize what I am doing till it's too late, and her swords can no longer move. She retracts the swords back into her backpack and braces for combat.
I charge her, she makes no effort to dodge, and instead she puts her hands up to block. I try to jab her with my spear but it is like I hit and invisible shield her semblance must be force fields. She throws a right hook I put up my shield but even that can't block her sheer power I go flying. The hot ground scrapes against my back. I cry out in pain. She is on top of me with four new swords I don't have time to dodge so I use my semblance to stop the attack.
What? Is she wearing a layer of metal armor under her cloths or something? I have control over her entire body. Her eyes go big with fear. I charge her and use my semblance to send her sliding back I grab her by the neck with my spear to do my signature finish but she is too heavy. Is she made of metal or something? I use my control over polarity to finish the job slamming her into the ground causing a crater to appear underneath her sending flames up from the ground. I quickly jump out of harm's way, but penny's aura is gone. Flames burn her and I swear I see metal through her burned skin.
Onyx comes flying past my line of sight hitting a giant rock knocking him into the knockout zone. A loud buzzer sounds the end of the match; the crowd goes wild.
"YES! That was awesome!" Nora cheers
"That was something" I agree
A bunch of soldier come to take penny away while onyx gets treated by the medics.
"Nora did you notice anything strange about penny?"
"You mean like how I got a direct hit with mangled and she was unfazed, or how she weighs a ton, oh how about how she makes a weird noise like metal hitting metal every time I hit her"
"You don't think" I trail off
"Who knows but she sure was something"
Blake
"Congratulations" I said to Pyrrah
"Thank you, I guess this means I will be seeing ruby in the finals"
"Yep, but be warned I won't hold back "ruby joked
"Yeah my sister is going to wipe the floor with you" yang gloated
"Oh yeah well pyrrah will take you down "jaune cut in, pyrrah giggled
"Who wants to stay and watch more matches with me? "Ruby asked
"I will, I should get a good look at my competition for tomorrow" pyrrah volunteered
"I guess I will if only to see how team cavy does" Weiss said nonchalantly
"Yeah I'll stay too" Yang agreed
"what about you Blake?' ruby asked, I sighed
"No I think I will go walk around or something"
"Oh okay well have fun "ruby said deflated
I admit it feels bad to disappoint my friends like that, but if I stay and watch one more match I might freak out. How can they watch something like this? People fighting for fun, it's terrible. I was taught we should only fight to help people to do what is right, to make a difference. Sure I helped my team get this far, but that's only because it was what they want I know if I didn't fight I would never hear the end of it. People shouldn't fight for fun all you do is make enemy's you didn't need, and in the end someone's pride always gets hurt.
"What's with the frown" sun asked me from behind where I sat on the bench, I smirk
"How did you know I was frowning if you are behind me?"
"Because you're Blake and when you are silently scaring away people who walk by with your glare I can tell you are frowning" he explained
"It's nothing, so where's the rest of your team?"
"They are over there trying to win a game "sun pointed to a ring toss game "want to play?" sun asked wiggling his eyebrows, I giggled
"Sure it should be fun beating a bunch of boys"
"Oh don't be so sure I got killer aim"
We walked over to the ring toss game. "Step aside lady coming through" sun announced
"Hey Blake" Neptune said
The man at the stand handed me three rings "blue bottles are small prizes, yellow is a medium, and red is a big prize"
I examine the bottles then throw all three rings at once, they all land on red, and I smile.
"No way how did you do that!" scarlet said amazed
"Takes a good eye" I explain
"Okay now you're just showing off" Neptune grumbled
"Pick your prize"
"I want the panda"
"You are just secretly competitive aren't you" sun teased as we made our way back to the room several prizes in hand. I giggle "maybe you're not as good as you say you are" I shot back
"Hey I totally had that last one if it wasn't for sage it would have been mine"
"Keep telling yourself that"
Suddenly a person ran right into sun knocking him over stuffed animals going everywhere.
"Hey watch where you're going" I yell at the man; his back is to me but even still I know who he is. His bright red hair and his black jacket give him away. He turns his head slightly and his blue eyes look straight at me.
"Adam?"
