Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY
AN: So I kind of forgot about this. It's not really as popular as the others but it still deserve some attention. But enough talk. On to the game!
Characters 4: Nora and Pyrrha
Get Ready for the fight of your life
Narrator: Nora Valkyrie is the hyper member of team JNPR. Unpredictable and known for bouts of wild thoughts, she can be hard to read. Hearing of the Color Tournament, it was bound to happen she would enter. Holding Magnhild over her shoulder, she laughed as she skipped towards it.
"Ololololololololo!" Nora made a war cry as she stood in the middle of the ring.
Everyone including Nora laughed as they heard the cry. The real Nora made note to use that in the ring next time Miss Goodwitch called her up for a fight. Pausing, Ruby looked over Nora's move list.
Pink Bomb
Leg Breaker
Smash
Hammer Time
Pancake
Crazy Thursday (Ultimate Combo)
Boop (Rage Art)
"Ooh! Ooh!" The ginger shook Ruby's shoulder. "Do Boop. Do Boop!"
Ruby waited for Ren to pull her back. The little leader will show them. Her first play might've been bad, but she will prove she is a master gamer! This play will prove her worth! And she'll do it by beating down –
"Zwei?" All of them said in surprise, seeing the dog in the game.
It was true. The first opponent was Zwei the corgi. The fight was so one sided it was obvious who was going to win.
Game Over
"Ruby, what the hell?" Yang pouted, disappointed in her sister. "You didn't even put up a fight."
In the background, Ren was mentally cheering that no one on his team were the first to get a game over.
"I cant hurt Zwei!" The little leader pouted, not wanting to play anymore. "Who could hurt such a cute face?"
"I could!" Blake quickly snatched the controller, pressing continue as Nora.
Remembering the commands for using Nora, Blake was ecstatic to hit the stupid dog with the hammer. Pink Bomb was grenades, Leg Breaker was a quick low stunner, Smash was a slow guard breaker, Hammer Time was a 5 hit swing, and Pancake was a devastating overhead swing.
Breathing heavy with a manic smile on her face, Blake was starting to see the appeal of video games. Swinging Nora's hammer to do Pancake once more, it was music to her four ears hearing that stupid dog's yelps in pain. With one final hit, the dog sailed through the air in slow motion with a loud yelp before hitting the ground. It tried to get up, but it gave up and laid there – forever.
"No!" Ruby and Weiss cried for the poor dog.
"That felt good." Blake said with a small smile. Giving it back to the reaper, it was thrown back at her with a bit too much force. "Huh?"
"PlAy Iiiit~." Ruby hissed with eyes boring into Blake's soul. "play the GaMe hethen!"
Staring at the others, they were backed into a corner with Jaune and Pyrrha's shield out in case they were next. Now sitting alone with the demon next to her, Blake was shivering as she continued to play the game. So far, she found out if she was looking like she was about to lose the little demon was going to growl at her. That was all the incentive Blake needed to win.
Reaching a cutscene, she relaxed knowing she was almost done.
Ruby: You beat up my dog!
Nora: I'm sorry Ruby, but he wanted to fight me with honor. If it makes you feel better, I didn't hold back.
Ruby: I'm gonna kill you!
Nora: That's the spirit. Come at me with all you have. Hit me with your best shot!
After watching the others play so much and Ruby appearing so many times, Blake's memorized the reaper's patterns. The Ruby in the game always telegraphed her moves that it was easy to block most of the hits. Too bad Nora's character had long build ups and made herself wide open for small attacks that lowered her health.
"Do the thing!" Yang cheered behind Jaune's shield. Seeing her sister glaring back at her, she ducked back down.
Inputting the commands for the ultimate combo, Blake prepared for Crazy Thursday. She along with everyone else was confused when all Nora did was throw her hammer into the air and off screen. Now weaponless, she had nothing do but defend. Suddenly, when Ruby rushed in to hit Nora, the hammer came back down and hit Ruby over the head winning the match.
"Pfft." Weiss held a laugh, seeing something so stupid but funny. Seeing her partner glaring at her, she held in the laughter and hid behind Pyrrha.
"Go Blake."Jaune cheered quietly, feeling sorry for the cat faunus.
Wanting to get things over with, Blake just focused on Nora's guard breakers and stunners to beat everyone down. When it got to the rival battle, she saw it was Yang.
"Wait, what makes Yang Nora's rival?" She asked, sparing a glance behind her.
"Cause we're the strongest." Yang flexed with Nora posing next to her. "The toughest." Both did another macho pose. Then they both puffed out their chests with hands behind their backs. "And the boobi-"
"We get it." Ruby cut her off, pointing back to the screen. "Blake. Play. Now."
Face Your Rival
Yang: Sup.
Nora: Heyo.
Yang: So I heard you beat my sis. Well, how's seeing if you can get two for two? (Yang puts her fists together.)
Nora: Bring it sister. I'm raring to go!
Like with Ruby, Blake's memorized Yang's moveset in the game. She didn't telegraph much like her sister, but if one was to play by ear they'd hear Yang's character always made a click noise for fast and heavy blows, and a grunt for slow hits. Playing things safe, it was best to always aim low and guard mid and high since Yang's moves mostly hit in those areas.
Using well timed Leg Breakers, it was easy putting Yang down if one had patience. Just as Yang's character went in the red, she was going to do a Rage Art.
"Oh my gosh! Quick Blake, block it!" Weiss shouted behind the shield, getting into the game.
Panicking, Blake hit an attack instead and sighed in relief when Nora smacked Yang in the head with Magnhild. The others almost thought she was going to lose with how close that match was. And since the rival fight was over, it was the boss fight now.
"I bet it's Ren." Yang said, feeling Ruby finally calmed down.
Port: Miss Valkyrie. Good to see you.
Nora: Hey Professor. You out for a walk too?
Port: A very enthusiastic one. So much action today.
Nora: I know. Isn't it great! Say? You wanna fight too? Olololololololo!
Port: Halalalalalalala!
Something about the conversation bothered the audience. Ren had an inking of what was going on, but he saved his judgment for later when the ending came. For now, he was watching Blake have a hard time beating Port.
The man was a literal tank with his blunderbuss axe. Unlike how Jaune was a counter-type, the professor was a charging tank. Unlike the man's stories, this one was straightforward and direct.
"Aim for his pudgy legs!" Ruby shouted, forgetting about Zwei and focusing on beating Port.
Doing a leg breaker, they all gaped when Port jumped over the swing and sat on Nora's head before bouncing off. While the others groaned and shouted at the move, Blake was concentrating on winning the game. So far, Nora and Port were at half health. This was getting intense with both being in the red soon. Taking a chance, Blake input the commands for Boop while Port's character readied for its own Rage Art. In slow motion, both weapons were swinging when Nora's hit first.
Nora: Are ya ready?!
Hitting Port in the gut, he was sent on his back as Nora stomped her way towards him with hammer dragging behind her. The scene turned gray and thunder was in the sky as Port tried to crawl away. It was the scene of a horror movie with the ginger's bangs covering her eyes. When she got close, her smile got wider and more crazy. Then she raised the hammer high in the air with one hand and laughed like a madwoman as lightning flashed in the skies.
Nora: Boop!
Poking Port in the nose, the sun was out once more and Port was pale as a ghost. With Nora now the winner, everyone got closer to see the epilogue.
Narrator: After beating Port, Nora was surprised to she got money and a trophy. She was unaware the Color Tournament was meant for fighting.
"You guys need to change the name!" She pouted, still holding the winnings. "I thought the Color Tournament was an art competition."
Keeping the trophy and money, Nora had an idea of what she wanted to do with it.
"Mora pancakes please!" Nora shouted as she sat at Pancake Emporium.
It was Pancake Wednesday and everyone was sitting at the table enjoying themselves. With her winnings, she made it a thing that there would be free pancakes of all flavors and variety every Wednesday at her favorite restaurant. With this idea, there was peace amongst faunus and humans as they shared table. And since she was the creator and benefactor of the idea and event, she was given a crown and cape by the people with a pet sloth to lay on her lap.
"It's good to be the queen." Nora cheered, drinking strawberry milk from her big trophy.
"I need to win a trophy!" Nora squealed, wanting all of that from the game.
Blake was shaking her head at the idea of pancakes bringing equality and peace. Sure an army fought on it's belly, but would it really go that far? She doubted any army would unite because of food.
"Since Ruby lost and Blake took over, does that mean I get to go next?" Ren looked to Yang since she was in charge of who went next.
"Hm. Nope. It's gotta be Weiss." Yang tossed the control to the heiress. "It'd be unfair since she's the only one that hasn't tried."
"What makes you think I'd even know how to play?" Weiss tried to give the controller to Ren. He didn't take it since it would be unfair to not let her try. "Oh fine!"
Since Weiss was new to gaming, she was going to pick an obvious winner. New to gaming she may be, but she did not want to lose especially at her first game.
Narrator: Pyrrha Nikos. Four time Mistral Tournament Champion. Coming to Beacon, she has made true friends that would last her a lifetime. When an invitation to enter the Color Tournament was given to her, she was going to dismiss it but was coaxed into it by her friends. Her team has never seen her tournament fights before and wished to cheer her up close.
"If you're all sure." She relented, wanting a little to show off to them.
"Ooh. Even P-Money likes to show off sometimes." Yang teased, getting the champion to blush.
In all honesty, there are times she did want to show off to them but chose to be humble. When Weiss paused to see her moveset, she frowned seeing how little there was.
Achilles
Negate
Attract
Hyperion (Ultimate Combo)
Huntress (Rage Art)
"Looks like the game hates you, Pyrrha." Nora mumbled, seeing only three specials to work with.
As Weiss experimented and played, she was amazed to get all perfects on all the fights.
"I take back what I said." The ginger patted Pyrrha on the shoulder. "The game is fair and loves you."
Achilles was a deflect skill that only needed one button input. No matter what area, it would deflect. Unlike Jaune's that required one button and a direction key, Pyrrha's was automatic and needed perfect timing – something Weiss was able to do even for her first time playing. As for Negate and Attract, Weiss didn't need to use them yet.
Ruby: Oh, hey Pyrrha. Looks like I'm fighting you.
Pyrrha: Hello Ruby. I was not expecting to fight you so early.
Ruby: Yeah. …Hey, can you just forfeit so I can go up ahead? Weiss will be mad if she finds out I didn't at least make it to the semi-finals
Pyrrha: I'm sure she'd be more mad you asked someone to forfeit.
"I would." Weiss wagged a finger at a pouting Ruby. "As much as I like winning, not working for a victory is disgraceful."
"Eyes on the fight, Weiss." Yang pointed to the screen.
Back to the game, Weiss was having a hard time with Ruby's speed. Achilles would deflect, but Ruby's recovery time was fast. Trying the command for Negate, she smiled seeing an edge from what it did. Negate pushes away while Attract pulls forward. With this in her arsenal, she was able to control the flow of the fight and beat Ruby.
Practicing more on the other fighters, Weiss learned Attract and Negate also worked in pushing Pyrrha away or helped her dash in close to the opponent. The juggling was still new to her, but Pyrrha's range from spear to sword made it easy to win all matches with a perfect streak.
Face Your Rival
Weiss: Hello Pyrrha. I was expecting you later in the finals.
Pyrrha: Tournaments are known to surprise us this way.
Weiss: Early or not. (getting into stance) Prepare yourself.
Pyrrha: (raises shield and spear)
"I will say this again." Weiss frowned while staring at her game self. "I do not sound like that."
Using Negate and Attract, Weiss controlled the distance and managed to get her game self into the red. When the game Weiss used a glyph to jump back and fired an ice shard, Weiss made Pyrrha perform Achilles but gasped when the shard hit. Thinking it a fluke, she tried once more but gritted her teeth when all shard hit until Pyrrha was in the yellow.
"Why is this not working?" The heiress stomped a foot. Remembering all the foes Pyrrha fought in the game, Yang was the one that found the clue.
"The deflect only works on bullets and metal weapons." The brawler tapped a fist on her open palm.
Ren and Jaune were impressed by how detailed the game was. If the details were like that, then chances were there had to be easter eggs inside. Sharing a look, they agreed to try and find them.
Button mashing at this point, Weiss got lucky and made Pyrrha throw her shield at the other her and knocked her out.
"Heh. Neat." Nora nodded at the win.
Moving on, they waited for the boss to appear. It might be a surprise person like with Ren, or it might be-
"Miss Goodwitch is in the game too!" Yang smirked, seeing who the boss was.
Glynda: Congrats making this far Miss Nikos.
Pyrrha: Thank you professor. I aim to win this tournament for my team as well.
Glynda: Hm. I hope you have a contingency for losing.
Pyrrha: With respect professor, I only keep victory in mind.
Weiss focused, knowing how the real Miss Goodwitch was like in real life. There was no metal on the teacher so it was all Pyrrha and distance. Starting strong and fast, she got into Glynda's guard and kept hitting even while the teacher blocked. When the teacher dashed back, she tried to dash in but with a wave of her whip, Pyrrha was lifted up and slammed on the ground.
"Come on!" Weiss whined, trying to recover and fire a few shots.
Pyrrha was still in the green while Glynda was three fourths of her health. Dodging rocks the teacher summoned, she tried to replicate the shield throw but instead had Pyrrha throw her spear. The others cheered when it was a direct hit that put the teacher in the yellow. But now that Pyrrha had no weapon, she only had the shield to block. Then Glynda caught Pyrrha in another float and slam.
"You need to get in closer." Ren suggested, not really sure on the distance of Goodwitch's attack.
"No. She needs to side step or roll." Jaune added, unsure himself.
"No. It's more like she needs to interrupt the swing." Yang shook her head.
"Shut up!" Weiss ground out, trying once more to throw her shield.
"Do down forward X." Nora coached. "I'm pretty sure that's how you throw the shield."
Doing so quickly, it didn't do it but brought the spear back into Pyrrha's hand. Trying it once more, Weiss found it was the command for throwing and getting back the spear. Trying down back X, Weiss made the champion throw her shield, but it was blocked at rolled onto the floor.
"Bad idea." Ren commented. He was right since Glynda summoned rocks and pelted Pyrrha. With no shield her health bar was being whittled into the orange. "Weiss, get out of there."
It was easier said than done with how much rocks were being thrown. Fighting Glynda was like fighting a tornado. Once the health was in the red, Weiss hoped the rage art would work.
The shield was summoned back to Pyrrha and she threw it to Glynda once more. Since the teacher was still in attack mode, she couldn't dodge or block the opener for the rage art.
After the shield struck Glynda in the head, she fell to the ground and was disoriented for a bit. When she got up, Pyrrha was nowhere in sight. Feeling someone was creeping up behind her, it was too late when Pyrrha jumped and proceeded to flail the teacher around like a lion playing with it's meat. Tossing her far, the redhead took her spear out and chucked it to the teacher where it pinned her to the floor by her shirt collar.
"Dang, that was brutal." Yang commented with Blake nodded stunned.
"I'm pretty sure she would dangle me from Beacon tower if I did that to her in real life." The real Pyrrha said with a bit of fear.
"I cant believe I won on my first try." Weiss gasped, feeling like proud of herself. Putting the controller down, she watched the epilogue of her hard earned victory.
Narrator: Winning the tournament, Pyrrha felt more joy since her friends were in the crowd supporting her. Calling them to the ring, they rushed down to greet her.
"Yay, Pyrrha!" Nora hugged her friend while Ren patted her on the shoulder.
"Nora, please." The redhead laughed when the ginger started spinning her. Looking around, she didn't see her leader. "Where's Jaune?"
"Little help, please!" She saw him, blindly walking to her with a bunch of flowers in front of him. "Some of your fans wanted me to give these to you."
As she got down from Nora to help him, the blonde tripped on a crack in the ring. Falling on Pyrrha, the whole audience went silent of what they saw next.
With flowers sprawled around them, the champion and her leader were sharing an accidental kiss. Slowly getting up, the two looked at each other with red faces at the contact. Then the silence was broken by a fan.
"That man has defiled our queen's lips!" She shouted. "Burn him at the stake!"
Many fans shouted as they raised their Milo replicas. Ren and Nora watched from a safe distance as Jaune and Pyrrha ran out of the ring with trophy and check in hand. The scene froze on Jaune's panicked face and Pyrrha smiling as an angry mob chased them.
While Jaune and Pyrrha were blushing while looking away from each other, Yang was laughing at the end result. Before any of them could make fun of the two, there was a new message on the TV screen after Weiss went to the main menu.

"Why do I get little unlocks?" Ruby pouted, seeing all the new stuff the others got.
"You didn't complete Difficult mode, remember?" Ren reminded, looking at his stuff. Zen Mode and Swordsman were something he wanted to see.
"Pull into gallery to see what other unlockables are there." Yang told the ninja when he had the controller.
Ren didn't need to be told since he was just about to do that. Turns out they could customize their characters and had different stuff. Skimming through them, they each took note of how to get those characters.
"To get Professor Arc, get complete perfects in difficult story mode." Blake read out, getting Ren to take note of it. The game was nice, but now it burned the gamer inside him that liked to unlock things by effort. "Headmaster Ruby requires twenty perfects on difficult. Grimm Mode requires all characters to lose boss battles ten times each. God of Thunder needs Nora to finish all battles in difficult story mode with Crazy Thursday. Amazon Queen needs Pyrrha to finish all battles in difficult story mode with Huntress. Berzerker needs Yang to complete perfects in story mode. God Mode requires characters to finish their story in highest difficulty with complete perfects."
"How do I get plasma cutter?" Ruby asked, getting Ren to go over her unlockable. "So I just need finish my story on difficult. Sounds easy. Ooh! BlazRuby requires finishing all battles in Rage Art."
Narrator: Ren(Zen Mode)
"It is my mission to unlock everything." The ninja whispered, eyes focused on the game. Next to him, Nora wanted to get her stuff out too.
END
AN: If any of you guys have any other unlockables or DLC suggestions, add them in the reviews. PMs are nice, but it's a lot easier for me to talk through reviews. Working on +J and Ruby Gaiden. For Professor Arc, its really Neo disguised as the (un)lucky professor. Swordsman Ren is Samurai Ren. Warlord Yang is sort of Doomfist from Overwatch.
After Ruby Gaiden is done, a new story will appear.
