Hello everybody, and allow me to welcome you all back to this!
So, since Phoenix deems that it's now safe to put reading stories back up, I'm kicking this one back up as well.
So let's not waste time and get right into it.
The people from Remnant were currently shocked.
For the simple reason that Swift had revealed their future to them.
Yang was afraid when she heard she lost her arm, with her team and her uncle doing their best to comfort her.
Blake was ashamed of herself for running again.
Ruby was furious that the one behind it all had been right in front of her and she never realised it.
The one who took the news of their future the worse though, was Pyrrha.
She had gone into shock when she heard she died, becoming unresponsive.
"Pyrrha! Come on snap out of it!" Jaune said, shaking her.
Swift walked up next to Jaune and whispered something to him, making Jaune blush "You think that'll work?"
"Positive." Swift answered with a nod "Also, yes, that really is how she feels."
Jaune nodded, before he surprised everyone and kissed Pyrrha on the lips, like she had done to him in their original future.
It took a moment before Pyrrha twitched and started returning the kiss, closing her eyes as she hugged Jaune.
Swift sighed in relief when he saw his plan had worked, Pyrrha was ok again, and he didn't have to wait too long for these two to become a couple. 'Sorry Phoenix, but this was the only plan I had to snap her out of it.'
After a few minutes, everyone had finally calmed down, with Pyrrha resting her head on Jaune's shoulder, and they were all eating different things that Flora had brought in.
"So, I have a few ideas to help prevent that horrible future, one, I'll allow you all to train here with me and some other people, and no time will pass back on Remnant, so you'll be more than ready for things to come. Second, I suggest eliminating Cinder as soon as you get back to Remnant, that'll fix a lot of issues, and you should also do a system purge to eliminate her virus from CCT." Swift said.
Winter spoke up "I think I can easily arrange for that last part myself."
"We'd need something to handle Cinder though, just outright attacking her wouldn't be easy." muttered Qrow, mostly to himself.
A small chime was soon heard coming from Swift, making him pull out a phone and read a message "Alright, so the author of Terror of Death specified what makes 'The World' so special, here's what he said: 'It's more than your average MMORPG, The World was a game developed in a time where game developers have created a helmet that allows players to further bring the player closer to their character allowing them to perfectly speak through their character without their voice getting muffled or distorted, and see through their eyes, however the player doesn't fully enter the game as Players still use a controller to play the game. The World was quite possibly the most popular MMORPG in the time it had been released, despite a few incidents that nearly shut down the planets internet system, because for some reason people thought it would be a good idea to have a insanely internet reliant way of living all linked to a single massive and powerful server.'
Everyone took a few moments to take it in, before Ren was the first to speak "That last part sounds rather foolish."
Swift nodded "Amen to that. Anyway, how about we get back to the book now?." he said before passing the book to Ruby "You're up Ruby."
She nodded with a smile and started to read.
[Chapter 2: Tournament]
Pyrrha rose an eyebrow when she heard the chapter title, wondering what tournament they'd be seeing.
[Ruby's P.O.V.]
"Come on Haseo!" I called knocking on Haseo's door rapidly, "You don't want to miss the airship!" I shout.
"I'm coming Ruby, I just had to make sure Lost Epitaph is in working order." Haseo said opening the door.
"Huh, weird name for a weapon. Wonder what it looks like?" sadi Ruby.
"How do you know it's a weapon?" asked Weiss with a raised eyebrow.
"I just do." Ruby answered proudly.
He had silver hair, which was a little odd considering his parents but dad said his mother had silver hair so whatever, that was pushed up and parted down the middle giving a rather clear view of his forehead, his red eyes stood out on his face, he wore a black leather chest piece that left his stomach and shoulders exposed with two belts as a collar and three belts going diagonally across his chest, he had black leather sleeves that still left his shoulders exposed and these sleeves each had six belts on the upper arms and I could see six more belts on the lower arm before his black and red outlined gloves covered his hands, he wore thin black leather pants with three belts at the top of each of his thighs, he wore black and red outlined knee high boots than folded down back halfway down his calves and said fold was split down the front so you could see five more belts on each boot.
"Seriously Haseo why do you wear so many belts with that?" I asked.
Externally, Weiss simply rose an eyebrow at his appearance, but internally, she couldn't help but think he looked somewhat attractive.
"Huh, so that's what our brother looks like... why does he have silver hair though? My mom has black hair." asked Yang.
Swift shrugged "I don't think an actual reason is ever given, as far as I know, he has silver hair because that was the hair color he had back 'The World'."
"They're mainly what's holding this outfit together really." Haseo said reaching back into his room to grab Lost Epitaph, a greatsword that has a chainsaw function that can change into a chainsaw scythe. However as he did that I noticed two more weapons sheathed at the back of his hip, I couldn't tell what they were through their scabbards, but knowing Haseo they probably have a chainsaw function.
Ruby looked at the weapon with obvious glee "That's so awesome!"
Swift chuckled, bringing attention to himself "I can top that easy." he said and snapped his fingers, a weapon appearing in his hands in a flash of light.
It looked like a sword in a pale yellow color, with four red gems near the base of the blade, and small teeth on each side of the blade which were moving constantly.
To top it off the blade was on fire.
Ruby looked at it with wide eyes and a hanging jaw, with Yang waving her hand in front of Ruby's face, before turning to Swift "I think you broke her."
Swift chuckled sheepishly before making his weapon disappear and snapping his fingersi n front of Ruby's face, snapping her out of it.
"Wait what happened?" she said as she looked around in confusion.
"My weapon was too epic for you to handle and your brain short circuited." Swift said with a chuckle.
"Oh." Ruby said before going back to reading.
I can kinda get why he puts so many chainsaw function in his weapons, they tear through Grimm armor like no tomorrow.
"Well whatever. Come on Yang, Dad and Uncle Qrow are waiting to get going." I said grabbing my big brothers arm and dragging him out of his room.
"Whoa! Ruby easy there? What about Zwei?" Haseo asked.
"Zwei's coming with us, duh." I said, "Oh almost forgot Crescent Rose!" I gasped and used my semblance to dash back to my room and grab it.
[Haseo's P.O.V.]
[Mistral arena]
Now that got Pyrrha's attention, before her eyes widenned in realisation "Ooohh! I think that's a tournament I participated in."
"Huh, guess we might see you compete then." Jaune said idly with a hand around her waist.
"Oooh I can't believe you got invited to participate in this tournament!" Ruby squealed hugging me.
"Easy there Rubes." Yang said, "Uncle Qrow simply sent an offer because one of the original participants broke a leg and Uncle Qrow just happened to be there."
"I do get around enough for stuff like that to actually happen." Qrow said as he scratched his chin.
"I know, but I'm so excited!" Ruby squealed.
"Ruby calm down." I said, "You're right by my ear."
"Oh, Sorry Haseo." Ruby said hopping off me.
"Haseo Branwen to the competitor wing, Haseo Branwen to the competitor wing" A woman on the P.A. called.
"Well that's my cue." I said, "See you two later." And with that I went to the competitor wing.
[No P.O.V.]
[In the Competitor wing]
"Haseo?" A woman said under her breath.
Said woman had long pink tied into two massive pony tails, each one separated by a band with a armor piece tied above the bands making her hair curve upwards then back down instead of going straight down, and the ends of her hair was tied off with bindings that had a small charm hanging off the ends, she also had two stands of hair dangling in front of her ears, each bound by stings. a pair of glasses cover her brown eyes. Her attire was rather revealing, being a red cloth strapless bra- like artile of clothing the also ties to her neck with white fabric, a pair of shorts that cover the back well, but leave a majority of her front revealed her privates covered in a way that makes it look like a pair of panties rather than shorts. Her hip had red leather guards strapped to the sides of her hips. The front of her legs were well armored compared to the rest of her with red leather going almost all the way to her hips and strapped at the top, covering the front of her legs, but leaving the back exposed, below the knees were metal shin guards that were tied to her lower legs with many straps, she also wore a pair of red high heels.
Qrow greedily drank in her appearance, Ozpin was honestly indifferent, Jaune thought she was pretty, that much was obvious, and maybe a girl he could've had a crush on if Swift didn't outright tell him that Pyrrha loved him, and Ren wasn't really affect by her looks all that much.
As for the women, Weiss, Winter and Glynda all thought she could amybe wear a little more clothing, Pyrrha couldn't help but notice a few physical imilarities between the woman and herself, Yang thought she looked kind of strong, and Ruby, Blake and Nora didn't have an opinion of her yet.
"Does that mean Skeith has come with him?" The woman asked herself, "I hope nothing causes Tarvos to go berserk again."
"Did you say something Pi?" A girl with green eye's and red hair tied in a single ponytail wearing a Greek themed hauberk asked.
There was a small amount of surprise at seeing who was obviously a slightly younger Pyrrha.
Pi looked at the speaker and grew a soft smile, "Nothing important Pyrrha, now go out there and do your best." Pi encouraged.
Pyrrha nodded, "Alright sis."
And now that surprise was tenfold.
"She's my sister?" Pyrrha said in confusion.
"Do you even have a sister though?" asked Yang.
"No, I don't, I'm an only child." Pyrrha answered, before turning to Swift "Is this also a common trope?"
"Not that common actually, this is the first story I've seen that gives you a sibling, and the only other instance that I know of is one I'm planning where you have an older brother, although he would be what's known as a character of the day." Swift said.
"What's a character of the day?" asked Weiss in confusion.
Swift was about to answer, but Jaune actually beat him to the punch "It's basically a character who appears in one episode in a TV series, and who won't be seen again afterwards, though they might get a cameo again later on."
Swift stared at Jaune in confusion "Well, that's pretty much it, yeah... and how do you know that?"
Jaune shrugged "I've watched a lot of live action super hero shows, so I know what it is by now."
[Haseo's P.O.V.]
[Arena]
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the First Round!" The male announcer called, "In the red corner, a visitor all the way from Patch, give it up for Haseo Branwen!"
With that I stepped into the middle of the arena, where I heard a good portion of the crowd cheering, I decided to give them a small wave.
"And in the blue corner, three time Runner up, Azure Kaito!" The announcer called.
This caused my opponent to step into the ring and I chuckled internally at the resemblance to Azure Kite.
"Who's Azure Kite?" asked Blake.
"Again, I don't really know, all I know is that he was an enemy of Haseo's at one point." Swift said.
"Have you even properly researched the series?" asked Glynda with a raised eyebrow.
"I've tried, but I need to actually find copies of the games first to do that." Swift answered simply.
The kid was my age and had short light blue hair under a deep blue cap, he wore a deep blue vest and had brown bandages covering his stomach area with two knife scabbards at his hip with the weapons in them. he wore deep blue pants with belts to keep the scabbards secured to his legs and black bandaging around his shin keeping his pants tight and brown sneakers.
"Good luck." Azure said drawing his weapons, a pair of large daggers with small gap at the tip and a barrel in the center of the blade with curved handles that had triggers on them.
Ruby looked at the weapons a little bit in curiosity before starting to read again.
"Same to you." I said pulling Lost Epitaph off my back, I slammed it forward to re-aquatint myself to the weight before swinging the massive sword behind me and revving the chainsaw.
"Let the match begin in 3!" The announcer called, Azure held his blades just like any twin blade in 'The World', one held in front of him and the other behind him.
"2!" I tensed my legs to dash forward.
"1!" Azure narrowed his eyes in preparation.
"GO!"
[.Hack GU- Victory must be grasped]
I charge forward and slammed by sword down on Azure, who jumped back from the massive weapon before running back it to slash at me, however I blocked it with using the sheer size of my weapon and activated the chainsaw function, causing sparks to fly.
It was then I noticed the daggers were coated in blue flames, 'Seriously what are the odds?' I thought.
"I'm guessing this is something Azure Kite could do?" asked Ren.
"Yeah, if I remember right, he could summon blue flames, or something like that, though, don't quote me on that." said Swift with a shrug.
I pushed Azure off of me with a shove and made a low slash that caught Azure by the boot, tripping him. While he was in the air I slammed down with my sword, turning off the chainsaw as I did to avoid doing any over kill damage that might cause permanent damage.
Azure was crushed by the blade but quickly kicked away, however he had lost one of his weapon.
"Not too shabby." Azure said, "But I'm done messing around." With that his remaining knife split open at the edges revealing a pulled back string.
The knives were also crossbows, and he began firing off bolts at a fast rate, each bolt was coated in blue flames.
"oohh~ I've never seen a weaon turn into a crossbow before, that's actually pretty cool." Ruby said.
Rather then blocking them I ran to the side, toward his dropped dagger, avoiding the flaming bolts and when I reached his dagger I kicked it as far away as I could.
I then quickly ducked under a fireball and hit the shift mechanism.
In Greatsword mode Lost Epitaph looks like a typical rounded point Greatsword with chainsaw teeth for edges, however when shifting the two edges quickly shoot out past the tip before clashing together, then the blade segments before tilting forward and the joints of the segments bend slightly and lock into place to make a scythe blade, turning Lost Epitaph from greatsword to scythe.
Ruby cheered when she saw the scythe "Yeah! Scythes are awesome!"
"Couldn't agree more." Qrow said with a smirk as he fist bumped his niece.
"Take this!" I shouted lunging toward Azure and swung the scythe upward, completely disarming him.
"Not good!" Azure gasped and sent another fireball at me, this one I was too close to dodge and took the hit point blank.
But it was worth it to bash him with the shaft of my scythe then while he was stunned I lunged past him and held Lost Epitaph to his neck, activating the chainsaw feature.
"Crap." Azure to himself before slowly raising his hand, "I yield!" He called.
[End OST]
"Our Winner for the first round is Haseo Branwen!" The announcer called.
[No. P.O.V.]
[In the stands]
"Well done Haseo." A smooth voice said, "Wouldn't you agree sister?"
"I'll admit it does take a bit of skill to force Azure into submission, Endrance." A girl with white hair tied in a bun agreed.
Winter blinked in surprise "That's me... and it appears we have another brother Weiss."
"I'm there too aren't I?" Weiss said rethorically.
"Winter that was just downright brutal how Haseo fought." A younger white haired girl said, her hair in an off enter ponytail.
"I called it. And I have to agree with other me a bit, that was somewhat brutal." Weiss said plainly, though she was curious about the fact she had another brother.
"Brutal, yet efficient Weiss." Endrance said, 'I will not dare get on Haseo's bad side this time, I don't want to lose her again.' he thought afterwards.
"Wait, he knows Haseo as well? How many more are there?" Weiss said in surprise.
"Give it a second." Swift said with a smirk, confusing Weiss.
[In Vale]
A young man with long blue hair tied in a ponytail was glancing at the TV while a slightly older woman with brown hair wearing a beret was forcing the blue haired man to wear an outfit she was making.
"Oh hey, it's Coco." Yang said in slight surprise.
"You think the other guy is her brother in that world?" Nora asked randomly, with Swift's eyebrow twitching at her question.
"Hey sis, looks like that Haseo took out Azure." The blue haired man said.
"Called it!" Nora shouted.
The woman looked toward the TV to see Azure held at scythe blade holding his hand up, "Well I'll be damned, where is this kid from Kuhn?" The woman asked.
"The announcer said he was from Patch, it's that small island off the coast of Vale Coco." Kuhn said.
"And given his age he might be joining Beacon next year." Coco said, "Now hold still, if I'm going to make you a tuxedo for the dance when you get to Beacon after you graduate your combat academy I need to be accurate."
"Aww come on Coco, why can't we just buy a tux?" Kuhn groaned
"Because she's the Beacon fashionista and won't settle for anything other than the best." Blake said idly.
[In a remote town outside the walls of Vale]
Two figures watched the screen through a window like so many around them.
One of the figures was a dark skinned girl with brown eyes and brown neck length hair, she wore a white blouse under a brown corset, with a brown neckpiece that continued to cover most of her back, she had a bronze shoulder guard on her right shoulder and a bronze bracer on her left arm, she had on a very short white skirt over black tights to cover her hip, leather leggings the covered her thighs, and bronze high heeled boots covering the rest of her legs, strapped to her back was a staff with a Ruby on the tip.
Qrow, Ozpin and Glynda's eyes widenned in recognition at seeing Amber.
The other was an older man with light blue hair a red glasses with his lower face covered by a long blue scarf, he wore a tight light blue woven shirt with white sleeves that were folded up to the elbow, ha had on white pants that had on brown straps at the upper thighs, and blue boots, stapped to his back was a short U-shaped sword and a long rifle-like gun with an edge on the lower area.
"So... The Terror of Death has arrived as well." The man said.
"Is he one of the... Epitaph users too big brother?" The woman asked.
"Wait, Amber has a brother here?" Ozpin said in confusion.
"You know her professor?" asked Pyrrha.
"She's an old friend of his, right?" Swift said, with Ozpin nodding, thankful for Swift's quick thinking, as he still didn't know if he wanted to tell his students about the maidens.
"Indeed he is Amber." The man said, "Haseo bears Skeith, just as I bear Corbenik."
"Oh! I know what's going on! We're seeing people Haseo knew in his previous life right?" Nora said.
Swift nodded "Exactly."
"You think he can with the tournament Ovan?" Amber asked.
"His body hasn't fully grown back to it's peak condition so it's hard to say, unless he were to use Skeith." Ovan said, "Then no-one would stand a chance."
[In Vale]
In a single living room two women sat at a couch, both blonde.
One was taller, wore a white blouse that covered her upper body, a black vest to cover her midriff, black tights, and black calf high heels and wore a purple cape tattered to look like mystical flames.
Glynda rose an eyebrow, a bit surprised to see herself appear, and curious as to who the other person was.
The other was shorter, wearing a large round white hat that had a green tag on the left side, a light green dress that went down to her hips and left her arms exposed, she wore green separate sleeves that spread open to large cuffs near the hands, on her hips she wore a puffy set of shorts, she also wore thigh high white boots with golden heels, on her back was a white cape that had a feathery look at the bottom.
"I can see what Ozpin meant when he considered letting Haseo enter beacon next year." The older one said.
"So he'll join next year with me mom?" The younger one asked.
A few people had their jaws drop at that, and Glynda herself was understandably shocked, never expecting to have a child in another universe.
"Now that one, is actually rather common." Swift said suddenly.
"Me having a child is common in these other realities?" Glynda asked.
"Yes, since it's actually a believable way to give a character a background." Swift answered.
"Correct Atoli... unless he gets himself held back a year." The older said, then her scroll ringed, "Hello Professor Ozpin."
"I assume you are watching the tournament Glynda?" Ozpin asked.
"I am, and I see what you mean about him Ozpin." Glynda said.
"I would normal try to invite him into Beacon now, but I doubt he'd be willing to skip ahead one year and leave both his sisters behind." Ozpin said, "However I can feel that what we saw was not his full power."
"Can you really trust that mans word Professor?" Glynda asked.
"Ovan may be a mysterious man, but given Amber can claim he isn't lying then that means Haseo is something special." Ozpin said.
"So Ovan is an ally of ours here then." Ozpin murmured to himself.
'Skeith.' Atoli thought.
[Haseo's P.O.V.]
[Competitor Wing]
"Way to go Haseo!" Ruby cheered literally clinging to my back and giving me a death grip hug.
"Nice job bro." Yang giving me a light punch on my shoulder.
"It wasn't too hard to be honest, his style is kinda simple, but sometimes simple is the most dangerous." I said.
"It depends on the situation." Blake said.
"Yeah that's true, with simpler weapons or styles you don't have to think as hard about how to use them, and can focus more on the fight." Ruby said.
"So are you planning on using Skeith if things get dicey?" Yang asked.
I looked at her for mentioning that, "Yang I told you, I don't want to use Skeith unless I have to-" I said.
"Or when you're practicing in private." Ruby added.
"-Because I don't want to risk any possible enemies finding out." I finished.
"That's rather well thought out." Weiss said in slight surprise.
"And that Dad and Uncle Qrow told you keep quiet about it." Yang said.
"Oh right, Yang, Uncle Qrow said he was getting us some popcorn and cookies for the next match. Come on let's go!" Ruby said dragging Yang off.
I chuckled at the antics of my sisters. "Nice to hear you're being responsible with Skeith, Haseo."a familiar voice said.
"This is Remnant, everyone's got the potential to beat an Epitaph if they are prepared for it you old hag." I relied jokingly.
Yang snorted when she heard the insult.
"I'll have you know Haseo that I'm only 22." Pi said.
"Whatever, so why are you here Pi? Did Yata get reborn too and your following him?" I asked.
"Who's Yata?" asked Ruby.
Swift shrugged "Don't know, haven't played the game yet."
"Haseo I haven't even heard that there were other Epitaph users reborn aside from myself, so imagine my surprise when I follow my sister in for her third tournament match and I hear the name Haseo Branwen over the intercom." Pi said, "And then your battle with Azure only proved it was you."
"Well imagine my surprise when I see you on the TV in the Patch Martial arts competition while I'm in bed sick with a glass of milk and a funny cat poster over my head." I said.
"What?" Pi asked confused.
"What?" was echoed by nearly everyone else, save for Yang, Ruby and Qrow.
"Don't ask, seriously." Qrow said with a wave of his hand.
"I dunno, my dad has a weird process for curing colds." I told her, "So Pi Nikos, how's your sister doing?"
"Fairly well, I can safely say that you won't have an easy time beating her without using Skeith." Pi said.
"Well I don't have a real reason to become champion this time, so I'm fine if I get beaten." I said, "Speaking of Skeith, is Tarvos with you or..."
"Tarvos is back with me yes." Pi said, "I've only told Pyrrha because she caught me practicing using Tarvos, how did your sisters find out?"
"When I first summoned Skeith several years ago protecting them from some Beowolves." I said.
"I see, well I hope you don't mind but I need to watch my sister's battle." Pi said.
[Final Round]
"Alright it's time for the Final Round!" The announcer called, "In the Red Corner we have Haseo Branwen!"
There was a larger cheer for me that I had ever heard in the previous rounds.
"And in the Blue corner, Our two time Champion, Pyrrha Nikos!" The announcer called and the cheer turned into an uproar.
"Nothing personal whoever loses alright." I asked pulling Lost Epitaph free.
"Yeah, it's just like sparring right." Pyrrha said pulling her weapon off her back.
"Ok, see, that brings me to something we're going to try to change here Pyrrha. Not every battle is supposed to be honorable, and I hope when you leave you understand that." Swift said seriously, with Pyrrha nodding slowly.
"Yeah, except we're getting judged by half the world." I joked.
"I suppose so." Pyrrha said.
"BEGIN!"
[.Hack GU- Victory must be grasped]
Pyrrha started the battle by throwing her shield at me, I bent myself low to dodge it, and it worked to my advantage as it made it easier for me to rush toward Pyrrha.
Pyrrha, much to her credit, seemed to adapt quickly and shifted her sword into a rifle and fired at me, however despite the weight of my weapon I am rather agile and managed to dodge each bullet.
When I got close I swung my weapon upwards, yet strangle it felt like something was trying to push it aside, it was enough that Pyrrha managed to dodge with ease.
'Telekinesis?' I thought, bringing my weapon up to block Pyrrha's next attack.
"I think you'd be deadlier if THAT was your semblance." Jaune whispered to Pyrrha, to which she nodded with an amused smile at his remark.
When suddenly I felt her shield strike me in the hands, loosening my grip on Lost Epitaph and giving Pyrrha the chance to kick me in my exposed gut, causing me to fly off without my weapon.
I looked behind me to see a chip in the floor where Pyrrha's shield chipped it.
'If it hit hard enough to bounce back at me at the same speed she threw it the shield should have been buried in the floor.' I thought getting up, 'She must be using her semblance subtly.' I thought reaching behind me and pulling out my spare weapons, Cursed Wave.
A pair of large black daggers with an inward curve and, save for the tip, lined with small teeth for the chainsaw function, a trigger on each grip.
However I already hit the transformation switch, causing the blade to fold at a 90 degree angle, then they pooped forward a bit and the blades went down another 90 degrees, giving a safe distance between my fingers an the teeth with a guard extending out for further protection, from point the blade bent down a gun barrel could be seen and the gap the blades once occupied in the barrel was filled in by a slip of metal.
Without wasting a second I began firing the semi automatic weapons as fast as I could, which thanks to the clip size and how the triggers were designed the fire rate one could easily mistake the for machine pistols if I fired fast enough.
"That's so awesome!" Ruby said while practically having stars in her eyes.
Pyrrha's eye went wide and quickly brought up her shield to block the bullets, setting her weapon to it's rifle mode and fired back.
I ducked the shot and ran forward, pausing only to reload my weapon. This gave Pyrrha the chance to rush me as well.
We traded several blows, each time it felt like my weapons were getting pushed aside, and I finally figured out why when I tried to kick her and felt the buckles of my belts getting tugged.
'She's like a living magnet.' I thought, just it time to get bashed by her shield in the gut.
"He's quite observant to have figured me out so quickly." Pyrrha noted in interest.
However I took this change of me doubling over the tackle her, then grabbing her while she was stunned and judo flipping her over me.
Of course this kinda backfired on me and she kicked my legs out from under me, then right as I fell onto my back she put the point of her weapon at my neck after pining my arms by her legs.
"You give?" Pyrrha asked huffing.
"Not my style." I said jerking my knee up and causing her to tumble forward, her blade scraping my Aura, but it was a sacrifice I'd deal with.
While she was still stunned at my recklessness I took the offensive and made one big strike on her back.
What I wasn't expecting was for her to grab my arm after she dropped her shield and effectively threw me out of the ring, but what she didn't think I would do would be to drop my dagger and pull her out of the ring with me.
Pyrrha blinked, he was right, she actually didn't expect him to do that.
"AND THAT'S THE MATCH!" The announcer called.
[End OST]
"Ladies and Gentlemen we have a tie! Both Haseo and Pyrrha have fallen out of the ring!" The announcer called, "If they so wish they can have a rematch in one hour, or they can choose to share the title of champion!"
"I'm okay with sharing the title if you are." I said holding my hand out.
"I'm alright with it." Pyrrha said shaking my hand, "We will share the title!" She then called.
"I agree with this!" I called afterwards.
"You heard them folks! We have two champions this year, Pyrrha Nikos and Haseo Branwen!" The announcer called.
Pyrrha smiled a bit "Well, maybe the attention on my other will lessen in that case... hopefully."
[]
"You did awesome Haseo!" Ruby cheered as she clung to me after I received my half of the prize money.
"Thanks Rubes." I said hugging both my sisters.
"You did good holding up so well against my sister." Pi said walking up to us with Pyrrha.
Yang then gasped at the sight of Pi, "You're Pi Nikos, I was there during your match at the Patch martial arts tournament three years ago!" Yang gushed, "Can I please have your autograph?"
Yang chuckled sheepishly "I probably would do that if she was real."
"And you're a Huntress too, can I have an autograph too?" Ruby pleaded jumping off me.
Glynda couldn't help but glance towards Ruby, remembering when she had asked for her autograph as well... and she had given it when she was released from the police station.
"Siblings." I chuckled.
"Well, that's the chapter." Ruby said as she closed the book.
"It certainly was an interesting match." Ozpin commented as he sipped his coffee.
"I wish we could have seen the whole tournament." Yang said while leaning against her arm.
"That would have lasted way too long." Jaune said.
"I'm glad to see you all enjoyed it though." Swift said to everyone.
"It was interesting." Winter said simply.
"I suppose we move on to the next chapter then." Glynda said as Ruby passed the book to Weiss.
And there we go!
I really hope I did good on this.
Also, yes, I took care of Arkos already, because it was very much the time and the place to do so.
Anyway!
Read, Review, Don't be a dick, and have a nice day everyone!
See ya nest time!
