Alex was in Ms Goodwitch's class. He spent the class watching sparring. His teammates were next to him. They were all as bored as he was, no good fights had happened yet.
"Alright the next sparring match will be between..." Alex watched as Glynda's eyes scanned the room before they landed on Ryden. "Ah Mr. Feuer you haven't gone today, pick your partner"
Ryden gets up from his seat. His eyes scanned the room for someone worth his time. They landed on Pyrrha Nikos.
"Her" Ryden pointed towards Pyrrha.
"You want to fight a world renowned fighter?" Glynda asked
Alex noticed her puzzled expression and couldn't help but chuckle that Ms Goodwitch didn't know how strong Ryden is.
"Yes Professor Goodwitch I would" Ryden responded confidently.
"Alright please change into your combat gear" Glynda looked down at her scroll shaking her head in a disapproving way.

Alex watched as Ryden emerged from the locker room. Pyrrha was walking next to him. Pyrrha's team was cheering her on. Pyrrha walked up to Ryden to shake his hand.
"I wish for you to fight well" She said smiling.
Ryden just stared at her not moving. Alex noticed he was studying her. Pyrrha put down her hand after a brief moment of silence.
"Combatants ready?" Glynda asked. Ryden nodded Pyrrha did the same.
Pyrrha got into her fighting stance. Her shield was up and her spear was back. Ryden however put up his fists.
"You didn't bring a weapon?" Pyrrha asked puzzled.
"I did but I'm seeing if I'll need it" Ryden stared Pyrrha down. This statement surprised everyone but Pat, who has seen Ryden fight before and Alex, who is Ryden's brother and knows well what he is capable of.
"Begin!" Glynda Shouts.
Pyrrha immediately charged at Ryden. She attempted to stab his torso which Ryden blocked with his forearm. Ryden then counters her attack by trying to round kicking her. Pyrrha blocks this with her shield.
She then launched his foot off her shield. This caused Ryden to become off balance. Pyrrha uses this moment to rush Ryden and bash him in the gut with the butt off her weapon sending him flying across the room.
Ryden attempted to recover mid air but Pyrrha threw her shield at him knocking him into the ground, while Pyrrha's shield flew back to her like a boomerang.
"My money's on Pyrrha" Yang whispered to Ruby. Ruby looked to Pat. She noticed his face was blank like he was waiting for something.
"Looks like I will need my weapon after all" Ryden said as he got up from the ground.
Ryden held out his hands and blue particles formed around them. Suddenly a shape of a katana formed. It materialized into a blue bladed katana.
"How did you?" Pyrrha stammered confused.
"I'd tell you but a like a great fighter once told me, never show your hand" Ryden then rushed pyrrha and launched a volley of blows.
Pyrrha was completely caught off guard by this and had no defense barley blocking each swift strike. Ryden used this moment and took the hilt of his sword and slammed into her chest sent the girl back. Having her defense shattered and lost her footing Pyrrha leaped back. Pyrrha expecting to gain some distance was shocked when Ryden quickly was surrounded in blue particles then was right behind her.
Ryden slashed to her left catching her off guard striking her left side. This blow sent the girl flying. She recovered and landed down using her spear to stop her by stabbing the ground. Suddenly a ball of blue fire was hurtling towards her.
Pyrrha raised her shield and blocked he fireball. She put her shield down only to see Ryden charging her yet again.
'You won't catch me off guard this time' She thought to herself.
Pyrrha extended her spear to full length to give her some distance. She came out him and knocked his sword out of his hands and slammed her spear butt into his stomach knocking him into the air where she launched Ryden across the arena.
Ryden slid across the arena hitting the wall. He slowly got up.
"Not half bad" Ryden looked to his half full aura gauge. "But you're gonna have to try harder"
Pyrrha watched as Ryden's eyes bursted into blue flames. He then warped to Pyrrha slashing at her torso. Pyrrha blocked Ryden's attack with her shield. When Ryden's sword collided with Pyrrha's shield a shock wave was felt. Pyrrha retracted her spear into a short sword and slashes at Ryden. Ryden dodged the attack and jumped back.
Ryden raised his hand fire soon engulfed it. He then launched a volley of Four blue fireballs at Pyrrha. The first two Pyrrha doged the third she blocked the fourth hit her sending her flying and drained her aura to half.
Pyrrha slid across the arena until slowing coming to a stop. She slowly got up. Pyrrha looked to the smoke caused by the fireballs. Ryden emerged from the smoke.
"Give up" He smirked.
Pyrrha turned her spear into it's rifle mode. She fired multiple shots at Ryden. Ryden blocked them all with his sword. His fiery eyes looked into Pyrrha's emerald eyes.
Ryden then warped behind Pyrrha and slashed. Pyrrha turned around and blocked this with her shield. Ryden knocked her shield out of her hands and swung. Pyrrha raised her hand and side stepped.
'The hell that should've hit her' Ryden thought.
Ruby looked to Pat who had a confused expression.
Pyrrha ran over grabbed her shield. Ryden rushed her. Pyrrha had just enough time to raise her shield to block his attack. Pyrrha counter attacked by kicking his blade out of his hand.
Ryden leaped back and gained some distance. Ryden raised his fist as blue fire engulfed it. He launched towards Pyrrha, who raised her shield bracing for the punch. Ryden's fist connected to the shield resulting in a fiery explosion launching both fighters backwards.
Smoke and dust covered the arena restricting the sight of the audience.
Ruby looked to Pat and Alex who she noticed both looked unphased by what everyone just saw.
The dust and smoke cleared and both fighters were struggling to stand up. Pyrrha was breathing heavy. Ryden's fire had faded and Ruby noticed his skin was snow white and he was coughing.
"Oh no he's coughing blood" Alex whispered to himself not noticing Pat could hear him. Marty looked to Pat with a worried look.
Ryden held his hand up. Blue particles surrounded it, but he collapses.
"Pyrrha Nikos is the victor" Glynda stepped into the arena. "Could we get a medical team for Mr. Feuer"
"That won't be necessary" Ryden struggled to stand up. He almost fell back down but managed to stand tall.
Alex rushed down to help his brother walk. As they walk by Pyrrha Ryden stops. He holds out his hand.
"You fought well" He said giving a weak smirk.
"You too" Pyrrha replied shaking his hand and smiling.

After Ryden and Pyrrha got changed class resumed. Alex and Ryden talked about his fight with Pyrrha. Glynda looked for a new match. Pat talked with Ruby.
"That was an amazing fight" Ruby exclaimed still excited from the match she viewed.
"Meh" Pat mumbled.
"You didn't think it was cool?" Ruby looked at Pat in surprise.
"It was a mess Ryden refused to use his semblance and then decided to over use it" Pat said.
"And you think you could do better against a foe like Pyrrha?" Ruby Grinned at Pat.
"I could take on four fighters if I used my semblance well" Pat looked at Ruby with a cocky grin.
"Could you take on all of team RWBY in a 1v4 fight?" Glynda Asked. Pat noticed she had a slight devious grin.
"Well I" Pat stutters.
"You did just say you could take on four fighters at once" Glynda said "So what you're saying is that you can't take on four little girls?"
Pat looked down at the grinning team RWBY who were eager to make him eat his words.
"I'm not getting out of this am I?" Pat asked.
"NO!" Team RWBY said in unison.
"Fine" Pat huffed.

After team RWBY got into their combat uniforms they walked out of the locker room. They were talking stragdity.
"We should just rush him" Yang suggested.
"Yeah" Ruby agreed.
"No you dolts we don't really know what he can do" Weiss protested.
"Maybe we should test him before a full scale attack" Blake suggested
"Ah good idea Blake" Ruby walked ahead and turned around stopping her team from walking. "Alright Weiss and Yang should attack while Balke and I stay back and Provide covering fire".
Yang nodded in agreement, while Weiss and Blake were not as sold.

Pat and team RWBY were standing in the arena waiting for the signal to begin. They were facing each other. Ruby noticed Pat was trying to keep his cool but she could see sweat running down his cute face. She scolded her for these thoughts she had no idea why he made her think this way.
"Fighters ready?" Glynda asked.
Pat nodded his head RWBY Mirrored this.
"Begin!" Glynda announced.
Weiss using her glyphs speeded toward Pat stabbing at him with her Rapier. Pat dodged every attack. Pat then unsheathed Carbon Jäger the carbon blade shined from the classes lights hitting it.
Pat then swung at Weiss which she countered. Weiss however did not expect the quick knee to her stomach. This attack sent the girl flying back. Weiss slid a few feet before she stopped.
Yang was quick to jump in. She launched a series of punches at Pat. He blocked them all with his blade. Ruby and Blake took advantage of Yang distracting Pat and fired a barrage of bullets. Pat tried to block everything and let his guard down allowing Yang to sucker punch him. This punch sent him flying into the air and disarmed him.
Pat recovered and landed back on the ground. Yang rushed him as Pat got into a stance. Yang tried an overhand punch but Pat blocked it with his left arm. Pat's right hand lit up with Lightning engulfing it as he quickly sucker punched Yang incapacitating her.
Weiss soon charged at Pat. Pat noticed this coming and threw a lightning bolt at her. Weiss barely avoided the streaking bolt. Weiss kept charging as Pat took his revolvers out and unloaded them on her. The young girl blocked them all with her rapier. She reached Pat jumped over him and attempted to run him through. Pat used his semblance to blitz out of the way of her strikes.
"Weiss regroup" Ruby yelled to her teammate.
Weiss sped over to the remaining members of her team.
"What?" She asked.
"Let's try Ice Flower it will slow him down" Ruby replied.
Weiss summoned a Glyph in front of Ruby's scythe. Ruby then fired a few rounds through the Glyph. The rounds became encased in ice as they sped towards Pat. Pat stood straight raised his forearm and lightning surrounded it creating what looked like a shield.
The bullets hit the electric shield and froze on it not Pat. Pat then transferred the lightning from his forearm to his hand and formed it into a bolt. He then threw the bolt of raging plasma at the girls.
Ruby, Weiss, and Blake jumped back from the explosion caused by the impact of the bolt of lightning. Pat blitzed over to Carbon Jäger and picked it up. He then rushed Blake who had just landed. Blake who wasn't expecting Pat's speed was caught completely off guard. Pat sent lightning through his blade as it made contact with Blake.
Blake was sent flying from this attack and slammed into the wall of the arena. She laid there motionless.
Ruby and Weiss had regrouped by this point. Weiss was talking strategy to Ruby.
"We need someone who can keep up with his speed" she looked to Ruby.
"Why me?" Ruby said surprised.
"Oh I don't know maybe because your semblance is super speed" Weiss Replied annoyed.
"Fine" Ruby begrudgingly agreed.
"I'll cover you" Weiss said as Ruby flew towards Pat.
Ruby brought her scythe over her head and slammed it down. Pat caught this with his sword. They then locked into a flurry of blows. Ruby matched Pat in speed as rose petals flew around the arena beside tiny sparks.
Weiss soon launched a volley of ice spikes at Pat. Pat realized he had no room to dodge or block braced himself for the hit. The three spikes hit him from the left, the right, and his torso this resulted in the boy being sent hurtling backwards.
Ruby was quickly on Pat and as he flew through the air she took her scythe and slammed it into Pat's chest pinning him to the ground. With the gun resting on his chest Ruby quickly slammed fired into him.
Pat tried bracing this attack with his lightning shield but he had little energy left to use his semblance. He focused his aura into his chest. He quickly activated his duel semblance. Ruby noticed Pat's normally navy blue eyes turned a frosty white. Pat then quickly without using his lightning semblance kneed Ruby in the chest sending her into the air.
Ruby used her semblance to recover. She landed back down as Pat launched up and towards her. They soon became locked in a even faster flurry of blows. They were moving faster than before Ruby barley keeping up with his speed.
Pat landed three good blows on Ruby knocking her away. Ruby got up looked to Pat she noticed he was holding his left eye and his right eye was back to the usal navy blue. He took his hand off his eye but didn't open it. Ruby noticed he was giving a slight wince.
Weiss took the opportunity of Pat being distracted to summon Glyphs and shoot towards him. Pat does not see Weiss coming as she approaches through his blindspot.
He is the struck in the left side of his torso and knocked to the ground. Pat recovered and got weiss into his line of sight. Pat then kicked her which she dodged. Pat jumped up from the ground landing on his feet and he picked up his blade.
'I have to end this quick' Pat thought to himself
Weiss rushed Pat again. She attempted to run him through. Pat ducked made a fist and charged lightning through that fist. Pat then uppercutted Weiss knocking her out and sending her back.
Ruby quickly is brought back into the fight. She rushed Pat and resumed the quick clash they were in before. She tries to rush behind him but Pat is too quick and matched her speed.
They two are locked in a flurry of blows. Ruby noticed that Pat is slowly slowing down and she is gaining the upper hand.
Ruby also noticed that dark storm clouds are start to slowly form over the arena.
Ruby then bursts into roses and attempted to gain distance. Pat became engulfed in lightning and raced after her. Pat soon stopped in an effort to conserve energy. Ruby stopped at the opposite end of the arena.
Ruby then charged Pat firing her gun to make her go faster. Pat did the same. The two forces met each other at the center where their weapons collided and a struggle ensued.
Pat ended this by knocking Ruby's scythe out of the way and kicking her upward into the storm clouds. None of the students spectating could see what was occurring they only saw lightning bolts inside the clouds. Pat was seen flying from under the clouds his sword carried Ruby and slammed her into the ground.
The clouds dissipated and Pat stood tall. He looked to the screen and saw he had only a sliver of aura left. He then noticed all of team RWBY's aura had been drained.
"And that's the match" Glynda walked out as the class lights came back on.
"Patrick Brewner is the victor" She sighed.
Team RWBY slowly got up. Yang saw Ruby and her eyes turned a blood red. She ran over to Ruby.
"Did he do this to you?" She pointed to Pat.
"What? No Yang I" Ruby stuttered trying to think of an out for Pat.
"You!" Yang stormed up to Pat.
Pat turned around right into Yang's right hook. Pat didn't even see it coming. Pat just saw black.
