(A/N:Hey guys... Now that I finished Unknown on Remnant (Quite a twist at the end no?) I can now begin to put my focus on this for fic for the time being. Anyway, if this wasn't a fight you wanted to see don't worry. Just keep making recommendations and I'll keep writing. Anyway... On to the story!"
"Excellent" Ozpin said as he saw a student raise their hand.
"Come on down here Miss Xiao Long." said Ozpin as Yang nodded, an excited grin on her face as she headed to the arena.
"Now, for Miss Xiao Long's fight we will pick her opponent but when we allow you to use the system on your own you will be allowed to select the opponent you wish to face." Ozpin said as the students continued to listen to him.
Turning to Yang he said "Are you ready?"
"Yup!" She said popping the P. "I'm fired up!"
"Good." Ozpin said as walked out of the arena and towards the controls. "Then let's begin" he said as he began to type in the commands.
When Ozpin finished the ceiling of the arena suddenly changed into a night sky, leading many students to look up in awe. "Woowww..." Said Ruby as she looked at the ceiling. "Look at all the stars... Just like home..." She continued as many students had similar thoughts.
But their aw only increased as suddenly a large heart shaped moon appeared in the sky, filling the arena with its light.
"This is amazing..." Said Weiss as she looked upon the moon as it gained a blue outline.
"Look!" Said Jaune as he pointed at the arena. Turning their heads they saw a white circle appear before the blocks and numbers from before had appeared again.
Once they disappeared, standing in the arena was a man in a hooded black coat. As the man took off his hood, his blue shoulder length hair spilled free from its confines.
Looking at Yang with his gold eyes, some of the students had notice the X-shaped scar on the center of face.
"Prepare yourself Miss Xiao Long." Said Ozpin as he prepared to begin the dual. "May I present ... The Luna Diviner, Saix."
And as soon as Ozpin spoke those words the newly dubbed Saix extended his hand as blue, white, and black fire suddenly burst from it.
When the fire dissipated it revealed a large claymore in his hand. It had a smooth white handle with a grey spike in the pommel and a pale yellow semi-circled shaped guard. The lower part of the blade was thick with concave sides lined with small notches, with the rest of the blade being pale blue with blue-grey edges. And at the tip of the blade was a blue ring lined by spikes connected by a strange yellow symbol. This was the Lunatic.
"Ohhhh!" Squealed Ruby as she beheld the blade. "So cool!" She said as she tried to get a closer look before a hand pulled her back.
"Calm down you dolt!" Said Weiss as she held on to Ruby's hood. "The fight is about to start!" She continued.
"I must agree with Ruby, it is quite an impressive weapon." Said Pyrrha as she to looked at the weapon. "Although I have never seen such a s-" but she stopped as Saix proceeded to flip the weapon before setting it in a reverse grip.
"That's a strange way to wield such a sword..." Said Blake, as she and no doubt others had expected Saix to wield the large blade two-handed.
"Begin!" Shouted Ozpin as Yang took her stance.

As soon as Ozpin allowed the fight to begin Saix immediately rushed forward with his claymore prepped to strike Yang. Crossing the distance he swung but Yang was able to dodge.
"Let's go!" Shouted Yang as she began her counter attack and punched Saix in the abdomen. But before she could land another strike Saix used his free hand to grab her fist. Taking the opportunity he swung his claymore and landed a blow on her stomach sending her flying across the arena.
As Yang landed she said "Alright pretty boy... You can hit hard I admit that." She then began to fire shotgun rounds from Ember Cecilia as she shouted "But it's gonna take a whole lot more than that!"
Before the shells reached him Saix lifted his claymore and used it as a shield to block the projectiles as he slowly walked forwards, his expression not changing one bit.
'For the love of Oum, does this guy have a stick up his ass or something?' Thought Yang as Saix got closer to her. 'It doesn't matter just need him to hit me with that oversized club a few times'
As Saix was just two feet away from her Yang rushed forward and proceeded to release a fury of punches, with them either hitting Saix or being blocked by his claymore. "Not liking it, huh tou-" Yang stared but stopped when she felt something hit her legs.
Saix had swung his claymore and swiped her legs before swinging upwards knocking her into the air. He then proceeded to jump upwards land a fury of blows in midair, before swinging downwards hitting Yang and knocking her downwards with enough force to make a small crater.
Landing, his face did not show surprise when Yang began to stand up. Neither was he surprised when Yang's eyes had revealed themselves to have turned into a fierce shade of red.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Said Yang as she felt her semblance activate from the force of Saix's mighty blows. "But... The show starts for real now!" She said as she charged forward.
In the stands the rest of team RWBY and JNPR watched the fight commenting once in a while.
"He seems to specialize in powerful strikes." Said Pyrrha as Saix tried to hit Yang again. "He has decent speed but his power only serves to fuel Yang's own strength." She finished as Yang landed a punch to Saix's sternum.
"Yang's got this in the bag!" Said Ruby as she cheered her sister on. "This guy is strong sure, but he's just fighting the worst person possible right now" she continued as she winced when Yang landed a nasty right hook on Saix's face.
"I don't know Ruby... Something doesn't feel right..." Said Blake as looked at the heart shaped moon before doing a double take.
"Guys... Is that moon getting brighter?!" She said as the others looked up.
And indeed it was and soon other students began to notice the phenomenon. As soon as the moon reached the apex of its brightness Saix suddenly spoke for the first time since the fight started.
"ENOUGH!" He roared, surprising the students with his sudden outburst, before swinging his claymore and landing a brutal blow on Yang's stomach, sending her sliding away from him.
"Moon! Shine down!" He yelled before he was suddenly covered in the same flames his weapon had appeared in.
"His semblance! That's what we forgot!" Said Jaune as they beheld the sight.
"What the..." Yang started before stopping in shock.
As the flames covering Saix disappeared they revealed him to be unharmed but not unchanged. His blue hair had become spikier and, with some students cringing as they noticed, his scar had opened up, becoming bigger and jagged. But the most notable feature was when he opened his eyes to reveal that they had become a shade of pure yellow, sclera and all.
But he wasn't the only one who had changed. His weapon had transformed with him. The circle on the tip of the claymore had divided into two large halves, each half lined with four enormous spikes.
Saix proceeded to break the silence "Can you feel it!? The moon's power!" He howled as a burst of aura shot out of him, with any of it that hit the floor igniting in his signature flames.
Yang's shock proceeded to fade as she gained a smirk on her face. "I see now... They didn't choose you to give me an easy fight... They chose you because we're similar!" She yelled as she began glowing in a golden aura. "This just got a whole lot more fun!" She yelled as her own aura burst, the igniting the floor in golden fire.
As they charged at one another Weiss couldn't help but say it "So his semblance turns him into a raving loon!?" As the battle became more ferocious, blue-black flames clashing with gold ones.
"No..." Said Blake as she looked at the moon. "His semblance must be this 'Berserker' state that's tied to the moon." She finished as Saix's claymore struck the ground, flames shooting out on impact.
"So he's part Beowolf?!" Yelled Nora excited as she looked at Saix in awe.
Pyrrha started "Nora that's completely rid-" but was interrupted by Jaune.
"Pyrrha I'm honestly going to have to agree with Nora, I swear to Oum this guy has fangs!" Said Jaune as he pointed to the howling Saix, who indeed did have fangs.
But before Pyrrha could say anything, Saix howled in his moon-induced rage once more.
"MOVE ASIDE!" He yelled as he threw his claymore at high speeds toward Yang.
"Crap!" Yelled Yang as she ducked underneath the claymore before charging towards Saix, intent on taking the opportunity she had while he was unarmed.
Well. She would have, if Saix had not suddenly slammed her with his claymore.
"What!? But he just threw it!" Yelled Ruby, since she had not seen Saix make any movement toward his thrown claymore.
"Over there." Said Ren as he pointed to the right. Indeed in the ground was Saix's claymore right where he threw it.
"But how-" Weiss began before it disappeared in flames.
"It must be his semblance." Said Blake. "Useful for a berserker, he won't ever be without a weapon while he's in this state." She finished as Saix prepared for another attack.
"ALL SHALL BE LOST TO YOU!" He roared as proceeded to run, swinging his claymore wildly as he left a trail of flames and claymore copies in his wake.
Yang tried her hardest to dodge Saix's assault, but unfortunately the blows he had landed on her started to wear her down, this being her undoing as Saix reached her and began his brutal assault.
Repeatedly knocking her in the air and downwards he finished his attack with a cry of "BEGONE!", A pillar of fire erupting as his claymore and Yang hit the ground.
"Yang lost..." Said Ruby.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that Ruby..." Said Blake as she saw her partner on her hands and knees, her right hand clutching something.
"You... You... YOU INSANE ANIMAL! LOOK WHAT YOU DID!" Showing the strands of hair in her fist, before roaring "IM GONNA BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!" Her aura showing her anger exploding outward, managing to match Saix's aura.
"What?!" Was all Saix could manage to say before Yang charged forward, grabbing one of Saix's claymores as her aura gained a red tint.
Before Saix could react Yang was upon him, claymore swinging upwards as she knocked him into the air roaring "Let's see how you like it!".
Jumping upwards Yang, with the help of the claymore guiding her, managed to copy Saix's Eclipse combo and Magna Storm finisher, and unfortunately for Saix this resulted in him being knocked out of his berserker state.
"Holy shit!" Yelled Jaune and a good portion of the student body as Yang proceeded to charge her aura into her fist, as proceeded to gain a dragon-shaped aura.
"It's over!" She yelled as she dived downwards her fist impacting against Saix's gut as they impacted the ground, creating a cloud of smoke.
"Wow..." Said Ruby with sparkles in her eyes. "Yang is so cool!"
As Yang jumped out of the smoke, her semblance deactivated as her exhaustion caught up with her. As the smoke cleared it revealed Saix unconscious in a crater. But then his body dissipated into data, indicating she had won the match.

After a few moments of silence the audience burst into cheers as they applauded Yang for her victory.
"Very impressive Miss Xiao Long." Said Ozpin as he entered the arena, which had begun to repair the damages caused by the fight. "You managed to score a victory your very first battle and for that I applaud you."
Yang smiled at the praise while the applause began to die down. "But!" Ozpin said, "You still have a long way to go before you can win a victory against Saix at his full power.", when Ozpin had said that the students were shocked at that information.
"Full power?!" yelled team RWBY and JNPR as they tried to digest that information.
"Yes. You see the DTD system has a difficulty setting. Depending on the setting the opponent is stronger or weaker. But only upper year students will have accesses to the highest difficulties possible since we don't want lower year students getting injured in fights they cannot win." Said Ozpin as he allowed that information to sink in.
"Now…." He continued as he looked at the students. "We are going to let three more students volunteer for the day before we allow you to leave. So who wou-" but before he could finish a burst of flower petals appeared beside him, revealing the form of Ruby Rose.
"Well. I guess that answers my question." Ozpin quipped before turning to face Yang. "Are you able to walk back to your seat?" he asked.
"Yeah." Yang said as she looked at her little sister. "Knock em dead sis!" Yang said, encouraging her sister.
"You bet Yang!" said Ruby as she watched her sister walk back to their teammates. "I'm ready headmaster!" she told Ozpin who nodded. "Very well Miss Rose." He said as he walked back to the control board. "I have the perfect opponent for you."
After waiting a few moments to let the arena quiet down another white circle appeared with the usual data blocks and numbers. When they disappeared it revealed another figure in a black coat. But before they could question this, a single glowing flower petal started floating towards the figure.
"What the…." Said Yang as the petal came closer to the figure as he opened his palm and extended his hand upwards.
And as soon as the petal touched his palm a literal storm of petals burst from his palm as they came together to create a weapon. As soon as the petals disappeared Ruby gasped as she beheld the weapon in the figures hand. It was a large scythe that matched Crescent Roses size, with a long green curved handle. Its main blade was curved and colored pink and black with another oval shaped blade attached to the top of the handle, connected by a symbol similar to the one on Saix's claymore.
"What is this…" said Ruby as she beheld the scythe, but stopped when the figures free hand went towards his hood lowering it. Underneath the hood was a man with feminine features, blue eyes, ruffled shoulder length rose pink hair that managed to look like petals, and, to the dismay and jealousy of some girls in the audience, pale pink lips.
"No way that is a dude" said Yang as the man revealed his face. "I mean he's so… so…"
"Gorgeous?" Said Weiss as she looked at his lips with a bit of envy.
"Exactly!" Said Yang as in the background Jaune looked a bit conflicted.
Ozpin's voice broke the noise as he announced the man that was Ruby's opponent. "Allow me to introduce, The Graceful Assassin, Marluxia"
"Hmph. Well then little girl… Prepare yourself." Said Marluxia in a deep voice that didn't match his appearance.
"What?" said Ruby as she readied Crescent Rose.
"For your heart shall be judged!" he said as he swung his scythe releasing a crescent wave of pink energy that teared through the ground towards Ruby.
