I Thought we had Something Special...
Chapter 6: Tonight's the Night
9:00 PM Beacon Academy Gymnasium...
Ruby's side of the gym...
Ruby was with Yang and Mechassault, having them get her ready for the fight. Ruby was ready to take Weiss down. She had a dark red sports bra with her symbol on them. She also had dark red shorts, and dark red gloves with her rose symbol on them. Her aura healed her wounds that Weiss gave her yesterday. Ruby wasn't super buff like Yang, since she only had a four-pack, with not as strong muscles, but she was still really strong. Mechassault was helping get Ruby's gloves on.
"God, Ruby. I don't know about this." I said.
"I made my decision a long time ago. I'm going to do this." Ruby replied.
"I know, but-" Yang interrupted me.
"Ruby can do this." Yang said.
"Alright..But I don't want her to get destroyed by Weiss." I remarked.
"I won't. I'm a silver eyed warrior." Ruby said.
"I know, but you've been defeated in the past." I put Ruby's right glove on and strapped it on. I then worked on Ruby's left glove.
"I know." Ruby said.
"Do you? Cause' it doesn't seem like you've ever admitted defeat."
"I have. I just don't let those losses get to my head." Ruby explained.
"I can vouch for her." Yang said.
"Alright..." I remarked. I got her left glove on and Yang got Ruby's robe on. It was a dark red robe with her symbol on the back. A loudspeaker came into the locker room and called:
"Would the two fighters come into the gym?" Ruby stood up. Yang put her robe on.
"Let's do this." Ruby said.
"You'll knock her out." Yang threw a air punch.
"You'll do great, Ruby." I added. I pat her on the back. Ruby, Yang, and I walked out of the locker room and into the crowd full of fans, and to where she would go toe to toe with Weiss.
Weiss's side...
Weiss was sitting down as Goji was getting her gloves on. Just like Ruby, Weiss isn't as buff as Yang or Tifa, but she still was strong enough. She was wearing her white sports bra and her white shorts, with her symbol on the side of her shorts. She was wearing clear white gloves with her symbol on her gloves. She still had her hair on the side, flowing down to her chest. Her robe was clear white, with her symbol on the back.
"Weiss...You know you don't have to do this." Goji said.
"I'm going to, Goji. And you aren't going to stop me." Weiss replied.
"I'm not trying to, but you're going up against Ruby Rose. The Red headed Protegé. The best hope for humanity, aside from all the hunters and huntresses." Goji explained.
"I have to admit, but I'm with Goji on this. This is just like Yang and Tifa all over again." Blake remarked.
"It is. It really is." Goji remarked.
"I can take her on. I will take her down. And maybe then Ruby will understand a thing or two about what I'm doing with Neptune." Weiss said.
"She will. Either way. I'll make sure of it." Goji remarked.
"No. I'll show her." Weiss put her arm up and looked at her fist.
"Heh. Give me your arm." Goji was done strapping up her right glove. Goji then worked on her left glove. He strapped it in. A loudspeaker came into the locker room and called:
"Would the two fighters come into the gym?" Weiss stood up. Blake put on her robe. Goji stood next to Weiss.
"I'll show her.." Weiss growled.
"You can do this." Blake said.
"You can take Ruby out no problem!" Goji said.
The door opened as they went out to the gymnasium, and to face her team leader. She wasn't going to let Ruby destroy her relationship between her and Neptune. She was furious.
9:15 PM Announcing the fighters...
Ruby, Weiss, and their respective teams walked into the gymnasium, and to the ring at the center. The fans were cheering for the members of Team RWBY. They were screaming for their favorite. Once Ruby made it to the ring, Yang lifted the ropes and Ruby stepped in. Ruby stood in her corner. Yang and I stepped in as well for a little while. Weiss made it to the ring as well and Goji and Weiss lifted up the ropes. She stepped in and stood in her corner. She stared at Ruby. Ruby did the same. Ruby mouthed:
"You're going down."
"Try me." Weiss mouthed back. The announcer stepped in the center of the ring and grabbed the microphone. He started to introduce the fighters.
"Fighting for 10 rounds tonight may I introduce our two fighters? In the red corner, weighing in at 127 pounds, the leader of Team RWBY, the red headed protegé, the sniper scythe master, Ruby "Little Red" Rose!" Ruby took off her hood and stood in the center of the ring. She threw her arms up, and was waving to her fans. She went back, but before she did, she looked at Weiss and winked at her.
"Arrgh..." Weiss whispered.
"Don't let her intimidate you." Goji said.
"Right." Weiss whispered.
"And in the blue corner, weighing in at 110 pounds, the Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, the Ice Queen herself, Weiss "Snow Angel" Schnee!" Weiss took off her hood and she walked to the center of the ring, waving to her fans. She wasn't scared of Ruby, and she showed it. She looked at her fans with anger and ferocity. She wasn't intimidated by Ruby. She threw her arm up into the air, and walked back to her corner. And then, the announcer asked:
"May the two lovely ladies come to the center of the ring please?" Ruby and Weiss walked up to the center and had a stare off. The referee came in and layed down the rules.
"Alright. When I say "Break it up" I want you to take a step back. On my call, I want you to come back, fists flying. Touch gloves." Ruby and Weiss put their gloves out.
"Aww god..." I said. I was scared that another fight would break out right there.
"This isn't going to go down peacefully..." Goji whispered. Goji and I locked eyes and we both knew that we were going to stop them if it got scary.
"I'm going to show you..." Ruby growled.
"I don't think so." Weiss growled back.
"I am going to wipe the floor with your damn hair." Ruby threatened.
"No. You're. Not." Weiss slammed her fists on Ruby's gloves. Ruby then waited a second. She was absolutely furious. She was about to smash Weiss's gloves, but instead, she punched Weiss right in the gut. The crowd reacted to it with "Oooh..."
"Ugh!" Weiss held her stomach.
"Shit." Goji and I said in unison. He and I were about to run. Weiss recovered and then punched Ruby right in the face. That's when we knew, it was going to get out of hand. We ran to the center, and we pulled Ruby and Weiss away.
"Ruby! Enough!" I shouted as I pulled her away.
"Weiss! Settle this in the fight!" Goji yelled. Goji and I got the respective fighter back to their corner.
"Ruby!" I growled with annoyance.
"What?!" Ruby looked at me.
"Just...(Sigh) Just get ready." I took off Ruby's robe. She was staring at Weiss.
"Weiss! Stop! What Ruby did was uncalled for, but that wasn't cool!" Goji said.
"Keep your cool, Weiss." Weiss said to herself. Goji took off her robe. They looked at each other. They were ready to take each other down.
"Let's go." Ruby and Weiss said as they awaited the bell.
