Noah's P.O.V

I charged towards my oppenent, as did he. I put my left arm into gun form and unleashed a barrage of rounds onto my opponent. He blocked a few, but his long weapon was his weakness as a few made it through and impacted on his chest armour. Do to my guns having Earth Dust, it knocked him down. I took this chance and leaped into the air, using my arm that was in hammerfist form, I punched his chest, pushing him into the ground with tremendous force. The cracks in the ground where at least a foot long around the small crater he was now in. He tapped out, I guess I'll be nice here as that was a bit excessive.

"You alright." I said as I stuck my hand out to help him out of the hole.

"Yea, are you." He said.

"Well you never landed a hit on my, so yea." I said as he grabbed my hand and I helped him up.

"Well...good." He said walking away with his head down. I looked up at Kat who was still giving me that thumbs up. I luaghed as it looked like she was just on repeat.

My next contestant was a guy with some sort of hammer that flipped into a pump shotgun, it had the same green glow as mine. It looked cool and all, but coolness was not a contendor to how you fight. He did this odd spin with his weapon to say he was ready to fight, I just nodded. We ran towards eachother. I didn't know what I would do though, but I knew it wouldn't feel to good. I waited for him to swing first, and he did. I blocked his attack with my left arm by grabbing the handle of his weapon, then I uppercutted him in the stomach with my right arm, obviously in hammer form. Again, because of Earth Dust, he lifted into the air at least a foot. I then let go of his hammer and, before his feet even went back to the ground, hit him dead on in the chest. This sent him to the ground, but he still got up. He was determined, I'll give him that. He put his weapon in shotgun mode and started shooting. One of the rounds hit my armour. It didn't feel to good, but it didn't leave a mark on my armour. I looked up and pointed Earth Shaker at his face, switching both of them to gun form. The look on his face wasn't good as he knew that he was beat at this point, so he just hit the deck and tapped out. I must have really hurt him on those first two hits. I jogged over to see if he was even okay.

"You hurt?" I asked him.

"No...you just got a hell of an arm on you." He said as he stood up, holding his stomach. He's a trooper.

My next contestant was a girl with two large shields on each arm. It looked like they turned sideways and had an arm cannon on each shield. I liked the design, it was just...different. The shields where both a glowing blue, this indicated that they used energy dust. She nodded up to start the fight, as did I. Instead of my opponent charging at me, she immediatly started shooting. Those cannons had a hell of a punch to them as it nearly knocked me over on the first hit. I stuck Earth Shaker infront of my face, not to attack, but to see if the hammer was able to block a high powered attack. To my suprise, it was. I thought the hammer would just fly back and hit me in the face.

"Well, thats good to know." I said to myself.

I stood up and charged towards the girl, I couldn't shoot as her shields would ultimately block all of the rounds. She took an abrasive stance and simply waited for me to come to her. She planned this. I knew that if I went over there and struck her, she would just have something waiting for me. I stopped and looked for a different approach. I noiced that the shields didn't cover the top of her, just the front and sides. I could always jump and attack from the top...or maybe she expects me to do that. Then I got another idea. Maybe if I hit the ground and activate my dust, it will cause a small earthquake that will knock her off balance. It's worth the try. I put Earth Shaker into hammerfist form and hit the ground with all my strength, to my suprise, it also worked. It also did exactly what I wanted it to. I jumped up and struck the girl, normaly I wouldn't feel right about this, but in Beacon you where soppost to do what you had to, and nobody would give you crap for beating a girl in a fight or losing to one. My first strike hit one of her shields, the other went right in between them and hit her chest. She also tapped out. I was starting to impress myself. I looked back up at kat, who was now jumping in joy and cheering for me, I still couldn't help but to smile. I was trying to wave at her, but before she noticed me my next contestant was already here. It was a guy with a gun fairly similiar to the guy with the fancy revolver, but this time it was a double barrelled shotgun that rotated in two more shells when he shot, it looked like he could shoot around six times before reloading. His weapon didn't seem to have a hitting mode, so hitting was my plan off attack. He nodded up to start the fight, I did so aswell...again. He started shooting, there was always a slight pause between his shots as he had to wait for two rounds to rotate into his gun. I would use that to move up. That worked as he was soon defeated, The process of beating opponents went on for three more.

I was getting very tired from all the fighting, as it had been going on for around half an hour now, but I wasn't going to let being tired stop me. Although my next opponent looked like he would be a challenge. He had a suit of armor that was easily as thick as mine and a mask that had a large face on it that seemed to stair through your soul the more you looked at it. The mask only had one hole to see through, where the other eye hole would be was just a large claw mark that went through where the hole should have been. His weapon was a crude looking rocket launcher, that was it...I hope. I nodded up to signal to start the fight, before my opponent nodded he stuck his hand down the barrel of the gun. I heard a loud, popping noise as he pulled out a large chainsaw out of the barrel, the other half of the rocket launcher opened up, revealing another chainsaw. So his weapon was dual chainsaws that stuck together and formed a rocket launcher...great.

"This is gonna hurt." I said to myself as my opponent nodded up to start.

The charge towards him nearly deafened you as his chainsaws produced a noise that was so loud, it was hard to even think. They also left a fine trail of exaust wherever he went. Maybe the exaust was explosive, his weapon was powered by fire dust after all, so maybe if I got close and used the muzzle flash of Earth Shaker to my advantage. My trail of thought was thrown of by the grinding noise of his saws up against the bottom of Earth Shaker. I needed to see if the plan worked, so I hit his stomach to see how effective his armor actually was. To my suprise, it seemed his armor was more for looks than anything as it left a small crater. He was slightly stunned so I took the chance and fired Earth Shaker as close to the fumes of his saws as I could manage. It didn't work...awesome. Now I need to figure out a new plan of attack. I looked around to see if I could figure something else out, but I took way to long as a rocket ran by my face, the heat seaming to burn me on its own. He shot once more, this time the rocket went right above me, missing by around a foot. I noticed that he had to reload after every shot. I will use the same strategy as the guy with the double barrel, move up while he is reloading and strike when close enough. I waited for the next round to go off, but nothing was happening. I looked at my opponent and noticed one thing, his launcher was turning, but he wasn't taking out the chainsaw. He just kept the weapon aimed at me, and in a split second, I realized what he was doing. He was going to shoot the chainsaw at me! I had no clue his weapon could do that, but I admit that I should have expected it. My only thought now was how I was going to react when he pulled the trigger. I stuggled to figure out what to do at this point, but the loud ringing sound of the time of the fight expiring saved me. This was the first fight between the two groups that already went that didn't end with someone tapping out. Team RWBY walked down into the arena to pick a winner. Blake stepped forward to decide the winner.

"The winner of the fight is..." She stopped and looked at the two of us, she didn't say anything else, but she did raise up one of our hands to decide...it wasn't mine.

I put Earth Shaker into travel mode and looked at my opponent, but he was already at the other side of the arena waiting for another opponent. That sucks, I wanted to ask what his name was, oh well. I'll ask another time.

I started walking out of the arena. Even the stairs that led to and from the arena where, like everything else, extremely detailed. I can't imagine how much money has been put into Beacon. I looked up from the stairs and saw Kat waiting for me at the top, along with many other students that where clapping and chearing for me. As expected, I reached the top of the stairs and was greeted byhigh fives and peaple saying good job, but the best thing was the hug that I got from Kat. Sure, she has done it at least twenty times now, but the fact that she was my best and only friend at Beacon made it so much better than any high five or good job that any body could do.

"You fought really good, it's a shame you didn't win." Kat said, sounding slightly depressed at the end.

"Thanks, but I didn't need to win if you didn't. I don't want you getting a head start and ending up on a team with someone else. I'm assuming you don't either.

"Yea...your right." Kat said, chuckling.

I looked at my watch and noticed it was around 9:15. If the initiation tommorow was as early as said to be, we might need to get to sleep soon.

"Hey Kat, we might want to get to sleep, we need to be well rested for the initiation." I said.

"Yea, your right." Kat let out a sarcastic yawn. "Do you know where we are suppost to be sleeping tonight. I mean, none of the freshman get dorms until we pass initiation." Kat said, it was a very good point to as I actually had no clue about where we where suppost to sleep tonight.

"Well, I'm not sure. We can always ask team RWBY." I said.

"Sure, lets ask them." Kat said.

We started to walk over to team RWBY, on our way over I managed to catch a glimpse of the current fight going on in the arena. It was still the guy with the mask against a completely different contestant than who went after me. I think Kat caught me stairing into the arena.

"Did you ever catch that guys name." Kat asked, not really what I expected her to say.

"Actually, no. All I really heard him do was maniacly laugh. I think he is kindove creepy. I personally don't think we need to know his name" I said to Kat.

"Well, you never know." She said. "And just between you and me, I think you fought better." Kat said, grabbing my hand. I was very shocked by this, I mean I really liked Kat and all, but this was just a little to quick for me. I mean we just became friends today. I wasn't sure whether or not I should say something...I guess I had to make a decision.

"Hey Kat." I said, pulling my hand out of hers, I was starting to get butterflys. "Do you not think this relationship is moving a bit to fast. I mean, we went from me simply helping you, to you hugging me everytime you see me, and now your holding my hand. I'm not saying that I don't like you and all, I really do...honestly. But this is just to fast. Don't you agree?" I said, praying for a semi-positive responce.

"Well, yea...sort of. I thought you didn't mind. I see what your getting at, but...I...um..." Kat was starting to choke on her words. I needed to say something, but what.

"Listen Kat, I like you, we just need to take this slower. What do you say we just leave this where it's at and continue the relationship...just a little slower." I said, hoping she new what I was saying.

"Well, yes. That works just fine." Kat said as she gave me another hug, she then grabbed a hold of my hand again, this time I grabbed hers to.

"Thats better." I said. "Don't you agree?"

"Yea, this is better. So we are deffinatly still friends...right?" She asked, one of her cat ears twitching.

"deffinatly, but we can't really take this any further unless I ask you something." I said, the butterfly's in my stomach getting slightly worse.

"And what would that be?" She responded.

"Would you...um...consider being my...um...girlfriend?" I asked, the butterflys getting even worse, even though I bassically knew what the answer was.

"Yes!" She said, nearly jumping into the air, hugging me yet again.

"Your a hugger, aren't you?" I sarcastically asked.

"Is it that obvious." She said, we started to laugh.

We where now almost three feet away from team RWBY. I tapped on Weiss's shoulder, she turned.

"What do you want." She said with that rude voice that just seemed to fit her.

"We are just wondering where you needed to go to sleep for tonight. Both of us already fought and we want to get some sleep for initiation." I asked, Kat remaining close to my side.

"Just go to the room where Ozzpin gave the speach, that's where all the freshman sleep on the first night this year." Weiss said, turning back around as if she had nothing to do with us. I turned to Kat.

"Well, I guess thats where we're heading." I said to Kat. We started walking towards the exit of the training gym.

"Yea Kat, I wanted to ask you, what do you call your weapon?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Oh these, I call them Sun and Moon. It refers to one being blue, and the other red. Makes sence right?" She said.

"Perfect sence." I said.

"Good, what do you call yours?" She asked in return.

"Earth Shaker." I said as I opened up the door to the hallways.
