Weiss POV

I just couldn't believe myself! A week before the tournament I managed to drive off our biggest advantage. And now we were alone in the tournament. Of course we could take on the best of them as a team, but with grim it would have gone so much faster! As our leader, ruby had to go sign us up for the tournament after we put it to a vote yang and me both said yes to the tournament and Blake did to after much consideration. As we entered the coliseum, I held my head high. A lot of famous people had stepped where I was stepping now.

Grim POV

since my voice and face were now different, I could talk to anyone without them recognizing me. I tried it first on yang. "hey. I'm Ekaf Eman. Who might you be?" I asked picking up her hand and kissing it. I was trying to not be myself, and I was Wondering if she would pick up on the fake name. "I'm yang xao long. Are you here to fight for the tournament?" she asked.

Maybe I was more convincing then I thought, because yang was not dumb. "indeed I am. I assume you are to. What team are you on?" I asked her. "I'm on team RWBY. Wheres your team?" she asked me. "i will be fighting alone. I've been practicing. Anyways, are those strength enhancing dust gauntlets I see?" "yep! What do you fight with? That staff on your back?" "not entirely, but yes." I heard the headmaster talking through the loud speaker. "it appears that the fight is on. Good luck." and I left.

I tossed my staff aside after getting through the security. Most of them were just robots, so it was pretty easy. Hmm. I was in the first fight, against a girl named seila. I stepped into the middle of the sparring ring and held down the pressure plate on my chest infusing my cerebral cortex and nervous system with a micro-amount of each kind of dust, giving me a better hold over the dust I weilded. And I injected the dust I wanted to use instead of letting my gloves absorb it.

I did this by making my energy gauntlet also a dust revolver and then it would inject me with the dust I chose. It spun until it stopped at improved strength. It felt amazing! I felt so, powerfull! Seila got into a fighting stance. As far as she knew, she was facing someone equal to her skill set. Wrong. The match started and I smoke bombed the area with time dust. Everything slowed down but me. I ran behind her and waited for it to wear off. When it did I fire blasted her in the back, and took the moisture out of the air forming several groups of water spikes and they flew at high speeds towards seila, who took out duel blade batons.

She managed to block a few, but seconds later she was on the ground. My first win, and I barely did anything. Another person stepped into the arena. It was ren. The match started and he open fired on me. All the shots stopped short of my chest since they were filled with dust. I sucked them dry, and used their power against him. It was ice dust. I froze him in place and started hitting him from every direction with glass fire and water all at once. It was a tornado of destruction, and he was called out because his aura was in the red. I stopped and released him. My next opponent was Weiss. Finally, revenge! Wait, what?

I looked up at the audience and saw an unusual amount of staff and guards around the people. I returned to the fight. Weiss began by hitting me with a couple fire dust attacks and a disarming hit. I threw my arms up, taking the moisture in the air and forming a solid wall of water exactly where the hits went, absorbing them for me. I lashed out with solid flaming weapons using burn dust and my energy gauntlet.

She managed to dodge parry and deflect all of my attacks. I jumped into the air using gravity dust to force myself extremely high. I came down pounding the ground with my fists and lightning dust shooting electricity in huge waves around the battle field. Weiss managed to deflect the worst of it with her glyph's, but I still hurt her. Within seconds of hitting the ground I continued, by throwing a hailstorm of flaming rocks at her. Only one successfully hit her, and she used a glyph to suddenly appear right in front of me, hitting me in several places. And then she stabbed her weapon into the ground shooting a path of ice towards me. I injected ice dust and took control of the path of ice. I used its momentum to circle it around myself and back at her.

Weiss hadn't seen that coming one bit, and got caught in the ice. I rushed over and punched her in the face sending her flying. Luckily it was a huge outdoor arena, so I didn't have to worry about breaking anything. I felt a headache beginning to make itself known in the back of my head, but I payed no attention to it. And then I heard a rumbling noise right underneath me.

The smirk that I had been wearing upon my face was now gone. The ground below me exploded and chunks of rock and dirt went flying everywhere along with myself and a mostly destroyed train car. I landed and the train car on top of me. And then grim began swarming out of the hole. I looked around and saw several people who were on the ground bleeding or limping away from the imminent grim threat.

I attempted to push the massive chunk of metal off my chest, when a huge Ursa climbed on top, and got shot dead by ruby. The weight on my chest was bone crushing. I finally managed to get it off, and looked around. There were thousands of grim already and team CFVY and team RWBY were about to be overwhelmed. My energy gauntlet was pretty much pulverized, so it wouldn't be able to do much until I fixed it. Only dust injection.

The guards were swarming into he arena along with all the staff of beacon, but they were having obvious amounts of trouble with the amount of grim. A huge roar was heard and a huge snake reared its ugly head out of the hole. I injected all the dust I had left all at once and held my hand up in the air. The snake came closer and lunged. And then deadly midnight flew into my hand and I swung upwards instantly severing the head of the snake before it could kill me.

I turned, and using the dust I swung and a huge fire wave shot through the air cutting all grim in its path right in two. I rolled to the side dodging an Ursa and I shot it in the face. I threw the scythe and it lodged itself in a death stalker's eye. It threw its pincers at me, and I caught one in each hand. I ripped them off, and tossed them aside. I grabbed my scythe, and it lunged its stinger at me. I sidestepped it, and cut it off. I turned, and got smashed in the face by another Ursa.

I hit the ground, and deadly midnight clattered to the ground with me, but a few feet away. I rolled away as a clawed hand appeared where I was before. My hand shot forward, and lightning came out of my fingers frying the Ursa to a crisp. I once again jumped abnormally high, and grabbed the wing of a nevermore. I climbed onto its back, and plunged my hidden blades into its back. It screeched, and I grabbed its head, ripping it right off the body.

I hit the ground, crushing hundreds of grim along with it. Pretty well all the grim here turned their attention to me, and charged. I grabbed the tusks of a charging hog resembling grim, and threw it into a beowolf. I set my arms on fire, and slugged two beowolfs in the face. The one without armor lost its head from the blow, and the other just died. I grabbed another beowolf by the neck, and it burst into flames. I used it as a club against an Ursa. It also burst into spontaneous flames, and died.

velvet POV

"soooo, shouldn't we help him or something?" I asked. Yang and Coco thought for a second, then both said "nah" "he can probably handle himself. Didn't you see what happened to that death stalker?" hmm. True.

Grim POV

I jumped away, and picked up deadly midnight as a full grown alpha Ursa tried to clobber me. I pulled more moisture out of the ground, and made a huge sword of water. I swung it to the side, decapitating the Ursa and also several other grim creatures. I brought it down, crushing hundreds of more grim, and let it wash away. The staff were almost to the hole. I just had to get them there okay so that they could fix the hole.

I searched the arena. Wait a second, the students are literally just sitting there watching me. I saw two of them pass money between each other. They were betting on me?! I took the water back, and and used freeze dust to make it really cold. I brought it over them, and let it drop. They all got completely drenched. "ALS icebucketed, bitches!" I yelled. But they weren't the only ones, sitting there watching me instead of helping. Coco, velvet and yang were too.

I just ignored them, and joined the fight again. I stabbed a beowolf through the heart, and sliced outwards. It hit the ground, and I threw several fireballs killing a couple more beowolfs. I saw out of the corner of my eye glynda goodwitch fixing the hole, and then killing the last few grim. I sheathed deadly midnight and walked towards team CFVY. Or, more specifically its leader who was reloading the empty mini gun.

"so, did you break something?" I asked, still with my disguise on.

"no, of course not. We are an elite team." she responded.

"so, you didn't have a reason for not helping me then?"

"um..." and then she ran off.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned, and Weiss grabbed my face and ripped off the mask. "um, I can explain?"

"okay, explain then. Starting with where you learned to do that."

"i can explain everything but that"

"seriously, I know I have problems with warming up to people, but if you can't be honest with your team then it just wont happen."

"fine, you all deserve an explanation. But first, I need apology"

she opened her mouth to talk, but I spotted general ironwood fastly walking towards me with a huge frown on his face. "okay, gottagobye!" and I ran off.
