Chapter 4- An Epic battle starts!
Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest.
White is cold and always yearning, burdened by a royal test.
Black the beast descends from shadows.
Yellow beauty burns gold.
Now the mysteries will unfold…
Velvet
I couldn't compete in the tournament yet as no one, not even myself, knows what my weapon is.
When Ruby and Blake got to the tournament, Roman and Cinder were waiting for them.
There's a huge battle that's gonna start and I'm not missing it!
Adam
She can do this, I know she can, I thought.
Yang was going to face one of Cinder's accosietes.
Weiss was up against Emerald.
The bad guys don't stand a chance!
Sun
"Go Blake! Go Blake!" I chanted in a yellow cheerleader outfit with a banna symbol in the middle.
I looked down at my outfit.
How does this keep happening to me?! I thought.
Ruby
"What are you doing here?!" I cried.
"The final battle has come, dear Ruby!" Cinder said.
"Bring it on!" I cried.
"Sayian is the name. Fighting's my game, Blondie" Sayian said.
"Just call me sir" Yang stated as she did the same thing in the 'Yellow' trailer.
"Don't know any princess" Sayian said.
"Let's kiss and make up ok?" Yang said in a fake, realistic sweet voice.

Yang
He leaned in to kiss me but just before I could I punched him and he went flying backwards.
I went berserk and jumped in the air and caused a shockwave through the ground which knocked Roman, Emerald and Cinder off their feet.
My gold hair was on fire as I used Ember Celia on Sayian.
Then he accidently cut my hair with his green pistol-looking weapons.
My violet eyes turned red as I went to Sayian mode and rushed towards him at lightening speed.
I punched him hard and he went out cold(Reference to Yellow trailer).
Blake
I used Gambol Shroud against Roman's Melodic Cudgel.
I bullets from Gambol Shroud's pistol form at Roman and used its Kanta form in close-combat.
Roman kept shooting and whacking Melodic Cudgel.
I swung Gambol Shroud under Roman's feet and he fell.
"I win" I said.
Weiss
"It's our time to shine, Myrtenaster" I whispered.
Emerald shot at me with him mantis-influenced pistols.
I dodged his attacks and used red dust to freeze Emerald in time.
Then I used Light blue, violet and white dust at the same time to power my final attack with a glyph on the ground that I was standing on as I ran towards him and he vanished(Reference to 'White' Trailer)
Ruby
I rushed towards Cinder and struck Crescent Rose at her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tam
"What are you doing here sis?" I asked, weakly.
"Sun called me over with your scroll and told you changed in public" Jenna said, softly.
"Are you meant to be protecting the innocent from the Grimm?" I asked.
"Well, yes. But I'm going to stay here for a while and make sure you don't lose control" Jenna said, matter-of-factually.
"Ok" I said, softly as I went back to sleep.
-Flashback-
Penny had her head down, looking uncomfortable with a group of people dressed in white guarding her.
Some had helmets, other did not.
There was a guy in the middle with black hair who was her creator that had taken her away in a car when Ruby wondered where she'd gone.

10 years ago…
Jenna and I were playing together when a man with flame-orange hair wearing a hat walked past us and went into our country cottage.
When we rushed inside, He had vanished but our mother who was wearing a red and yellow stripped dress wasn't moving.
I wept and Jenna hugged me for Confort.
My mother was Winter Rose, Summer's sister.

(Vision)
Ruby struck Cinder but before the impact hit Cinder, she fired fire at Ruby which made her vanish.
-End of flashback/Vision-
"We need to go back, sis" I said.
"Why? You're still recovering from your change" Jenna protested.
"Ruby's in danger, we have to help her now!" I urged.
So we hurried back to the tournament as I leaned my right arm on Sun's shoulders to get there faster.
Ruby
(song plays in the background while fight comences)
theres a point where it tips
theres a point where it breaks
theres a point where it bends
and a point we just can't take
anymore
theres a line that we'll cross
and there's no return
theres a time and a place
no bridges left to burn
anymore
we can't just wait with lives at stake
until they think we're ready
our enemies are gathering
the storm is growing deadly
now its time to say goodbye
to the things we loved
and the innocence of youth
how the time seemed to fly
from our carefree lives
and the solitude and peace we always knew
theres a day when we'll fight
and we're not gonna fall
theres a day when we'll stand
and a day when we won't crawl
anymore
there's a moment in time
and there's no going back
when we're pushed too hard
and we won't hold our attack
anymore
we can't just cling to childish things
as evil just grows closer
humanity's in jeopardy
this fight is far from over
now its time to say goodbye
to the things we loved
and the innocence of youth
with a doubt in our minds
why we chose this life
and at times we can't help wondering...
were we born to fight and die?
sacrificed for one huge lie?
are we heroes keeping peace?
or are we weapons?
pointed at the enemy
so someone else can claim a victory?
now its time to say goodbye
to the things we loved
and the innocence of youth
how the time seemed to fly
from our carefree lives
and the solitude and peace we always knew!
The dust cloud cleared and Cinder was still standing.
I gasped.
Then Cinder was about to shot fire at me when Team GOBP(the teachers) arrived at the same time Tam, Sun and a girl I didn't recognise who I guessed was Tam's sister blocked Cinder's attack.
"Time for Phase two! Grimm attack!" Cinder cried as Beowolves, Junior's henchmen, Death stalkers, King Taijitu, Ursi and Boaratusks appeared from the shadows .
"Charge!" I cried as I used the moves from the 'red' trailer to defeat the original dark Beowolves.
Weiss, Blake, Pyrrha, Jaune, Ren, Nora, Penny and Yang attacked the Grimm at the same time with their weapons which caused a bloody mess on the arena.
Cinder walked slowly towards me as I killed the last Beowulf and all of the heads fell on the ground.
"Ruby!" Tam cried.
"What?" I said.
Then Cinder attacked.
Tam
I felt the change happen very fast as I ran in front of Ruby and launched myself at Cinder.
She kept attacking but I could withstand the pain.
"What is Tam exactly?" Sun asked as he and Jenna watched me protect Ruby.
"She's a Faunus like you and me but she can also change into the animal she has features of. That's a rare ability; Only a handful of Faunus has that ability now. If you're like Tam, you'll either be feared, contained or befriended. The last option is rare but the first two happen a lot which is why Tam has to be careful" Jenna explained.
I fought as much as I could but then I passed out again and Sun caught me.
Yang
"Weiss, Blake; help the others defeat the Grimm. I'll help Ruby" I said.
Weiss and Blake nodded as they ran towards the Grimm to help JNPR, the remainder of VAST and Penny out.
"Hey, you! If you want to fight my sister, you have to face me too!" I yelled.
"Catfight!" Velvet exclaimed.
Ruby and I rushed towards Cinder as my eyes went red and hair went in flames again.
"Crescent rose and Ember Celia rules!" We cried as I fired red dust at Cinder –letting out a burst of fire energy- while Ruby sliced and diced her with Crescent rose.
Then Glynda intervened and with one magic attack made Cinder vanish in thin air.
Once all of the Grimm and Henchmen were died, Nora clapped.
"Sleepover time!" Nora cried.
"Not again!" Weiss moaned.
"That's Beacon life for ya!" I said with a smile. "You know what I'm sayang?"

Meanwhile in the white castle, The Transient Princess, who had long wavy black hair and dark brown eyes wearing a snow-white silky dress and a pair of black boots, was talking to a shadow-hidden figure.
"She was looking for me? Yes, I know. I'm the princess, she searches for" The Transient princess said.
The figure said something audible.
"Are you Summer Rose?" The Princess asked.
The figure came out of the shadows, it was the white-cloak figure from before with red leggings.
The figure took of the white hood and the princess gasped.
Can you guess who the white-cloaked figure is?
One life
Is not a long time
When you're waiting
For a small sign
Patience
Is hard to find
Shadows
Seem to fill your life
Don't be disappointed
Don't let your heart break
Don't spend another minute
In this way
It's okay
Dry your eyes now, baby
Broken wings won't hold you down
You'll take flight soon, baby
You'll be lifted up
And you'll be there
Twelve hours
Is a long night
When you're searching
With no hope in sight
Aimless
On the inside
And the damage
Makes you want to hide
I know that it seems pointless
I know that it feels fake
I know you can't stand the thought of
Being stray
One more day
Dry your eyes now, baby
Broken wings won't hold you down
You'll take flight soon, baby
You'll be lifted up
And you'll be there
RWBY's poem
' Cookies are sweet,
Yang is fierce,
Weiss is cold,
Blake is quiet,
I'm the one who causes riots" Ruby said.
"Poem battle!" Nora cried.
"I'm not reciting a poem!" Weiss cried.
"I'll do one too!" Nora said.
"Sloths are cool, Sloths are neat,
Join the club, we can play to the beat
Fighting enemies with 'Boop'!" Nora recited.
Silence.
"That was interesting, Nora" Yang said, wearily.
"Maybe Penny can do one too?" Velvet suggested.
"Ok, I'll try" Penny said.
"Told not to interact,
Told just to stay back,
Just want to have friends,
To make amends (like Shakespeare)
Hidden away like a puppet
Sometimes called a 'Muppet'
He created me but he hates me" Penny recited.
Everyone wept.
The end
There's a day when all hearts will be broken,
When a shadow will cast out the light,
And our eyes cry a million tears:
Help won't arrive.
There's a day when all courage collapses,
And our friends turn and leave us behind.
Creatures of darkness will triumph:
The sun won't rise.
When we've lost all hope,
And succumb to fear,
And the skies rain blood,
And the end draws near,
I may fall
But not like this: it won't be by your hand.
I may fall
Not this place; not today.
I may fall
Bring it all: it's not enough to take me down.
I may fall
There's a place where we'll stand outnumbered;
Where the wolves and the soulless will rise.
In the time of our final moments,
Every dream dies.
There's a place where our shields will lay shattered,
And the fear's all that's left in our hearts.
Our strength and our courage have run out:
We fall apart.
When we lose our faith
And forsake our friends;
When the moon is gone
And we've reached our ends,
I may fall
There's a moment that changes a life when
We do something that no one else can.
And the path that we've taken will lead us:
One final stand.
There's a moment we'll make a decision
Not to cower and crash on the ground.
The moment we face our worst demons:
Our courage found.
When we stand with friends,
And we won't retreat,
As we stare down death,
Then the taste is sweet.
I may fall
But not like this: it won't be by your hand.
I may fall
Not this place; not today.
I may fall
Bring it all: it's not enough to take me down.
I may fall
I may fall
I may fall
I may, I may fall.
