Hey, guys! Here is the sixth chapter of Holy World War! The Alliance prepare to take the first two parts of the "Battle Trials" test. Hope you liked it.
Chapter 6 – Battle Trials: Part One
It was 9 AM as everyone got up from sleeping and were at the dining room for breakfast.
That's where a beaten-up Kouga, Natsu, Luffy, Ruby and Nagisa were laying on the floor, with Yuna, Lucy, Nami, Weiss and Kaede angry and everyone else cowering or staying out of the way from afar.
After Kouga and his fellow Acts of Order's battle with Vex and Zeta, they didn't wanted to tell anyone until morning, which was unexpected as Mavis already predicted about the battle but the five didn't call for backup, angering most of the team.
"Next time you idiots battle someone, just don't!" Yuna hollered.
"Don't make me charge you!" Nami hollered.
"Stop trying to take on everything by yourselves!" Lucy hollered.
"How reckless can you be?!" Weiss asked, in an angry manner.
"Even Nagisa should've learned that by now." Kaede said.
"S-Sorry…" Kouga, Natsu, Luffy, Ruby and Nagisa muttered in unison.
"They're scary!" Emma, Romeo, Wendy, Happy, Chopper, Aika, Kumi, Okuda, Yada, Fuwa, Zwei, Jaune, Sun and Neptune thought in unison, frightened by the female quartet's fury.
"That's their fault for not letting us know." Erza explained, eating a pound cake with whipped cream and strawberry on top.
"Venusians have a bad habit at suckering punching people at the most unexpected time." Souma explained.
"Didn't even think Zeta and Vex were the first to attack." Eden explained.
"This spells trouble." Isogai said.
"I'm sure Seiya, Mavis-sama and the other world representatives are planning countermeasures right away." Mirajane explained.

In the "New Sanctuary", Seiya held a meeting with the Shiryu, Hyoga, Shun, Kiki, Sonia, Jellal, Mavis, Jimbei, Qrow, Ozpin (now in control of Oscar's body) and Korosensei to discuss matters following the attack.
"Concerning yesterday's attack, we may assume they might try this again." Mavis explained.
"Venusians are no pushovers." Kiki said.
"I dread to imagine what the rest of our enemies are like?" Jimbei asked.
"Took all of Kouga's power, alongside Natsu, Luffy, Ruby and Nagisa to beat two of them." Hyoga commented.
"We need to take precautions for the future if we're going to hunt down those shards." Ozpin explained.
"I would agree with you on that, Ozpin-san." Korosensei said, wearing a wool hat on his head.
"This coming from the guy who went to Siberia to buy a hat?!" Jellal, Ultear and Sonia asked in unison.
Korosensei gave a white face to deny their question.
"We need to form some tactics for the young ones to hold their own." Shiryu said.
Qrow simply drank another glass of an alcoholic drink without giving an answer.
"I agree." Shun said.
"What do you think we should do, Mavis-sama?" Seiya asked.
Mavis was in a train of thought.
"I might have some suggestions." Mavis explained.

Outside in the backyard, Kouga, Souma and Yuna were helping Ruby and Weiss practicing hand-to-hand combat if the huntresses don't have their weapons.
Currently Yuna and Weiss' turn, the Aquila Saint delivered a swift roundhouse kick to the Schnee ex-heiress, which she managed to dodge in the nick of time.
"You're getting better at this, Weiss." Yuna commented.
"Back at you, Yuna." Weiss said.
Yuna and Weiss stopped to get a quick drink.
Ruby smiled at Weiss' new progress.
"Weiss' so amazing!" Ruby thought.
Ruby blushed without even noticing.
Souma smirked.
"What's this? A sign of love between ladies?" Souma asked.
Ruby blushed rapidly.
"W-W-What are you talking about?!" Ruby asked.
"You like Weiss more than a friend, don't you?" Souma asked.
"That isn't true!" Ruby hollered.
Souma snickered again.
Kouga and Yuna became annoyed.
"Seriously, man? Love between ladies?" Kouga asked.
"You really are an idiot." Yuna muttered.
Then, the speakers suddenly went on.
"Attention all members of the Alliance. Meet at the Combat Hall in 8 minutes." Qrow explained.
The speakers then turned off.
"Guess we got training to do." Kouga said.
Kouga dashed off in a hurry.
Souma, Yuna, Ruby and Weiss followed after.

Arriving at the Combat Hall, the Alliance began to look at their surroundings on what they should do. Aria, Happy, Carla, Lily, Zwei, Aika and Kumi decide to watch it all on the TV screen alongside Raki, Selene, Meredy, Oscar, Sun, Neptune and Mavis.
"Wonder what this is about?" Maehara asked.
"Dunno." Karma replied.
"I can explain." Ritsu said, coming from the speakers.
"Ritsu?!" Class 3-E, Team Natsu and the Straw Hats exclaimed in unison.
"A Talking AI?!" Ruby and Nora exclaimed, in an excited manner.
"This is something Ozpin-sensei, Korosensei and the others came up with to help you prepare for the battles ahead of you." Ritsu explained.
"The first one…" Ritsu continued.
Holographic images of tigers, bears, gorillas, scorpions and crows that appeared to be 10 to 11 feet tall with high levels of aggression, showed up out of nowhere.
"… Is to survive a 2 hour exhibition match against these digital creatures!" Ritsu finished.
Yuna, Emma, Lucy, Wendy, Romeo, Levy, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Brook, Weiss, Jaune, Kaede, Maehara, Okuda, Okano, Yada, Kimura, Sugaya and Fuwa to scream in fright.
"OH CRAP!" Romeo, Usopp, Chopper, Jaune, Maehara, Kimura and Sugaya shouted in unison.
"2 hours against these giant things!?" Souma exclaimed.
"FOOD!" Luffy shouted.
"They're not real, you idiot!" Blizzard hollered, smacking the back of Luffy's head with his paw.
"Just the challenge I hoped for!" Yang hollered.
"You all know what to do." Kouga said.
"Let's go!" Kouga hollered.

The Superior Clothstones of Kouga, Souma, Yuna, Ryuho, Haruto and Eden along with the Clothstones of Sachi and Emma began to twirl around as they faded into the galaxies.
The stars formed the constellations of Pegasus, Lion, Aquila, Dragon, Wolf, Orion, Apus and Fox simultaneously.
Kouga and the other Bronze Saints all braced themselves.
One by one, they all donned their Cloths.
The Bronze Saints did a united fighting pose.
The eight Bronze Saints were ready for battle.

Watching from the screen, Aria, Happy, Carla, Lily, Zwei, Aika, Kumi, Raki, Selene, Meredy, Oscar (now switching control to Ozpin), Sun, Neptune Mavis continue to watch.
"This is gonna be awesome!" Happy hollered.
"Or dangerous." Carla said.
"Be careful, nii-san." Aika said.
Aria began praying for their success.
"Good luck, everyone." Aria thought.
"I can't wait to see Eden fight again." Selene said.
"You said it." Raki said.
"You got this guys!" Sun hollered.
"What he said." Neptune said.
"I'm surprised you went along with this." Ultear said.
"It's for the best. They need to prepare themselves." Mavis explained.
"Exactly. To overcome any obstacle, they need to work as one." Ozpin explained.

Back at the Combat Hall, the Alliance continued their battle against the giant fake animals.
Kouga and Natsu punched through a giant tiger with ease.
"There's still a few more to handle." Natsu said.
Everyone were giving it their all in groups as their teamwork increased, overpowering the beasts with some effort to it.
"We still have 1 hour and 30 minutes left. We should overwhelm them to get an inspiration." Kouga explained.
"Now you're speaking my language!" Natsu hollered.

Gray noticed his jacket's missing and quickly rushed to find it.
Juvia swooned over Gray's appearance.

After finishing the 2 hour battle, the entire Alliance headed to the waiting room to take a quick breather.
"That was so exhausting!" Levy hollered.
"At least our teamwork's working well." Ren said.
"Is that it?" Kimura asked.
"Not quite." Kiki said, appearing out of nowhere and shocking everyone.
XXX
True to word, their next trial was a 30 minute written test, which they took right now on the second floor academic room.
The Exceeds, the two wolves and Zwei were left out since this required only human minds to do.
"This might be hard." Jaune said, thinking hard.
"Luffy's worst enemy!" Usopp thought.
Luffy looked at his paper and began to grasp the situation before him.
True he's a complete simpleton, but Korosensei's guidance helped him be more prepared for things like these.
"I'm gonna do my best!" Luffy hollered.

After 30 minutes were up, everyone handed in their tests.
"Good work, everyone." Kiki said.
"Kiki-san! Is there more?" Nora asked.
"Quite right. Just one more." Kiki replied.
"You just had to ask him, didn't ya!?" Kouga, Souma, Ruby, Gajeel, Usopp, Franky, Yang, Jaune, Maehara and Sugaya thought in unison, deadpanned.
"Tomorrow at 8 AM… the last one will be the most difficult one of all." Kiki explained.
"So be ready and think hard." Kiki continued.
Kiki left the class, as everyone began to discuss on how to prepare for the final trial tomorrow.
Wonder what that could be?
Preview Skit:
Nagisa: The first two were really tough.
Kaede: No kidding.
Sugino: Makes you guys wonder what else the teachers got up their sleeves.
Erza: They're certainly not making this easy.
Usopp entered the scene with a frightened face.
Usopp: GUYS!
Erza: Pipe down! What is it?!
Usopp: W-W-Well, our final part of the exams are gonna be…
Sugino: Gonna be what?
Usopp: T-T-This…
Nagisa, Kaede, Sugino and Erza read the paper in Usopp's hand, and became extremely surprised.

Sugino & Kaede: We're screwed.
