I Thought we Had Something Special...

Round 3: Saved by the Bell

Ruby and Weiss stood up for the third round tonight. They were both a little exhausted from the last round. Ruby was destroyed by Weiss in the last round at the end, and Weiss was getting destroyed by Ruby for the beginning of the last round. Both were a little wounded from trading blows, but the is to be expected. They awaited the bell and wanted to knock each other out cold. Ruby wanted revenge for Weiss embarrassing her in the last round, and Weiss was just hoping that Ruby won't turn the tables on her.

DING!

Ruby and Weiss made their way to the center of the ring, where they just waited in anticipation for the other to strike. They circled each other. Ruby was surprisingly calm on the matter, waiting for Weiss to make her move. Weiss was just as calm, being very observant of her opponent's movements.

"What are you playing at, Weiss?" Ruby thought.

"Come on, Ruby. Are you going to do anything?" Weiss was waiting for Ruby to strike at her. Finally, after about 10 seconds of just circling each other, Ruby jabbed at Weiss's face. Weiss took it, but she didn't back up. She held her ground, and she jabbed back at Ruby. They continued to jab at each other until Ruby went in for a hook, and it connected onto Weiss's cheek. She stepped back to the ropes, and she was startled by Ruby's punch. She was a little stunned, and Ruby quickly took advantage of this, and started to get Weiss cornered.

"Shit!" Weiss said as she was being punched in the chest. She kept her guard up, however, but she was still being hurt by Ruby. Eventually, Weiss was taken to a corner, where she was going to be trapped for most of the round. Ruby was punching Weiss in the body, and eventually started to use hooks to weaken Weiss. Weiss was just taking everything she could, until she did a risky move and she swung with all her might, with little accuracy, and it connected with Ruby's face. Yang and I were barely able to watch as the punch connected with Ruby's face.

"Ooh..." I said.

"That's gotta hurt..." Yang said.

Ruby stumbled back to the center of the ring as she was hit with the punch. Weiss came towards her and she started to bring Ruby back to a corner. Weiss had turned the tables and now Ruby was on the receiving end. Weiss wasn't holding back in this part of the round, now that she has some ground to cover.

"I got you now!" Weiss shouted as she uppercutted Ruby. She then kept up the pressure by punching Ruby in the face with powerful right and left hooks. Ruby's head moved from side to side as Weiss kept hitting her. Finally, Weiss uppercutted Ruby and she moved out of the corner and onto the ropes. As Weiss walked towards her, Ruby decided to stay agile, and she would try to do her best to dodge Weiss's attacks. When Weiss came up to her, Ruby noticed Weiss telegraph Weiss's hook, and ducked. It left Weiss wide open, and Ruby pushed Weiss back to her corner.

"Oh no...Damn it!" Weiss thought.

"I've got you now!" Ruby shouted as she uppercutted Weiss. Weiss's head turned back, and she saw a little blood come out of her mouth. Weiss was stunned now. Ruby realized this and figured out that she had a chance to knock Weiss out. So, she used all her might and punched her with hard hitting hooks. There was about 10 seconds in the round, so Ruby decided to go on the offensive and went as fast as she could, while hitting with her most powerful punches yet. Ruby was angry with Weiss after what happened earlier that round, turning the tables on her and all. Ruby was combining her speed with Yang's power, and she was destroying Weiss in the final seconds of the round. Weiss's head was tilting to the side, and her vision was getting blurry. Weiss couldn't take much more of Ruby's punishment.

"Ugh...Vision is getting blurry..." Weiss was barely able to see Ruby as she was just moving her head to the side. Ruby saw the final seconds in the round were approaching, so she uppercutted Weiss, causing blood to come out of her mouth, and a little down her nose, and she prepared a sucker punch that would knock out Weiss right there. However...

DING!

Weiss was saved by the bell as she saw that Ruby's punch was right next to her face.

"Oh...Oh god..." Weiss could barely speak in her mind, since she was so wounded from the last round. Ruby grunted and walked back to her corner, where she sat down in victory. Weiss stumbled to get back to her corner, where she immediately sat down.

Ruby's Corner...

"Ruby! Nice round! You did good!" Yang said as she wiped off the sweat from Ruby's body with a towel.

"Thanks, Yang. I almost had her, though." Ruby complained.

"Yes, but you still wounded her." I said.

"True." Yang added.

"I guess...But she would've been out right there!" Ruby complained again.

"Ruby. You can't end it this early. You need to take your time." Yang explained.

"Fine. I got it." Ruby said.

Weiss's Corner...

"Damn, Weiss! Ruby isn't holding back anything!" Goji shouted.

"Yeah...I'm worried about you now." Blake said.

"I know. But I can handle her." Weiss said.

"But you didn't really handle her there." Goji pointed out.

"Oh shut up." Weiss remarked.

"Hey, you're the one who started this fight in the first place." Goji wiped the blood and sweat off of Weiss's body and face.

"Alright. Need some water, if you don't mind?" Weiss requested. Blake got a water bottle and Weiss took a big sip out of it. She then waited in anticipation for the next round.
