Well, that's twice I've had to delay Gamer of the Wasteland and The RWBY Saints. And I apologize. Look, I've been busy. One reason being that I've gotten into playing Fire Emblem: Heroes, and on top of that, I've been watching a let's play of Fire Emblem: Fates on YouTube. So, you could say I've had Fire Emblem on the brain as of late. Anyway, we FINALLY finish up the Mistral Regional Tournament today! Alright, let's get going!


[RAAM P.O.V.]

"And, that's pretty much it." Willow said solemnly, "I unfortunately don't remember much, but the moments I do remember, have been some of my happiest memories."

"I know how you feel, losing a parent. I lost my mom when I was younger." Ruby said.

"Seems like we've all got a case of dead or missing parents." Delsin said.

With that, I felt my Scroll vibrate.

"Hey guys, I gotta go and get ready for my match." I said.

"Alright, good luck RAAM!" Ruby said, hugging me.

"Thanks Rubes." I said, hugging her back.

"Knock 'em dead RAAM." Yang said.

"No problem Yang." I said.

"We'll be cheering you on RAAM!" Willow said.

"Thanks guys!" I said, running towards the arena.

"Alright, time to rock and roll." I said, walking into the arena.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time. The final matchup of the Mistral Regional Tournament!" The announcer said.

The crowd later roared in anticipation.

"Good to hear. Well, the challenger has arrived, RAAM Branwen!" The announcer said, and I couldn't resist, I raised Hollow's Bane in the air, causing a massive roar from the crowd.

"And finally, we have another rising star of Sanctum, the Invincible Girl, Pyrrha Nikos!" The announcer said, causing another roar from the crowd, as a girl wearing bronze armor, like an ancient Spartan.

"Hello!" I heard Pyrrha say, as she was waiving.

"Hey!" I said, waiving back, I hope for a good fight!" I added.

"Same!" Pyrrha said.

"Alright everybody! It's time, Sanctum's Invincible Girl, versus Patch's Raging Kryllstorm!" The announcer said.

'Raging Kryllstorm? I like that.' I thought smiling.

[No P.O.V.]

"In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, FIGHT!" The announcer said, and RAAM and Pyrrha rushed towards each other, their blades clashing.

"Amazing! Both combatants have clashed, causing a massive shockwave!" The announcer said, as RAAM and Pyrrha continued to clash blades.

"Go RAAM!" Ruby said, cheering her older brother.

As RAAM and Pyrrha continued to fight, RAAM noticed that some of his trikes weren't all connecting.

'Damn! Why aren't my attacks all connecting?! Odds are it might be her Semblance. I need to be more careful.' RAAM thought, quickly shifting tactics.

"It looks like Pyrrha's got RAAM backed into a corner! He's now on the defensive!" The announcer said.

"It looks like it's curtains for that Branwen peasant." Said a voice in the stands.

"Come now Reginald, the match has just started." Said Haytham.

"Besides Uncle Reginald, I wonder how 'invincible' she is." Said Delia.

"Yeah, this is going to be awesome!" Grif said.

"Hmph! We shall see." Said the voice, now named Reginald.

"Amazing! Both combatants now have been reduced to half Aura! What a match!" The announcer said.

'Disregarding her Semblance, she's good. I need to switch up tactics!' RAAM thought, pressing a button on Hollow's Bane's hilt, transforming it into it's minigun form.

"What the-?!" Pyrrha said, before RAAM started firing his weapon, forcing Pyrrha to block with her shield.

"Astounding! RAAM has shifted his weapon into an alternate form! Now Pyrrha's been put on the defense!" The Announcer said.

"Wow, I was not expecting that." Delsin said, shocked.

"Yeah, RAAM's weapon, Hollow's Bane, has three alternate forms! GAH! It's so awesome!" Ruby cried.

"Three forms?" Eugene asked.

"Yep, there's the sword." Yang said.

"Then there's the scythe, which I've been at the business end of." Willow said.

"And then there's the, minigun?" Fetch asked.

"He actually says it's more of a heavy machine gun. He called it a, Troika, I believe." Tai replied.

'Damn, I can't even shift Milo into it's rifle form! He's slowly whittling down my Aura, I've got to end this!' Pyrrha thought, later noticing that RAAM was trying to reload his weapon.

"Oh crap..." Ruby whined.

"What's wrong?" Delsin asked.

"RAAM just realized Hollow's Bane's one noticeable flaw when it's in Troika form." Yang replied.

"And that is?" Fetch asked.

'Fuck! I forgot that this thing overheats when in Troika mode!' RAAM thought in worry.

'Now's my chance!' Pyrrha thought, swiftly shifting her weapon into it's rifle form.

'Oh hell!' RAAM thought, swiftly activating his Semblance.

"Looks like RAAM has activated his Semblance to block Pyrrha's bullets!" The Announcer said.

'Hmm, so his Semblance can block bullets? No, there has to be more to it than that. I need to think of something!' Pyrrha thought.

"This has been an awesome fight, but it's time to end this!" RAAM shouted, shifting Hollow's Bane into scythe mode.

"Oh boy, RAAM's serious now." Yang said.

'Looks like he's serious. Well, he's right about one thing, it IS time to end this.' Pyrrha thought, raising her shield, and charging at RAAM.

'Charging at me with her shield raised? This is going to be awesome!' RAAM thought, charging forward as well.

"Looks like RAAM and Pyrrha are charging one another." The Announcer said.

And then, they slashed. RAAM with his scythe, Pyrrha with her sword. And the whole crowd went silent.

"And the winner is..." The Announcer started before a loud scream was heard.

"GAH!" RAAM said, falling onto one knee, as his Aura fluctuated.

"...By close Aura depletion, PYRRHA NIKOS!" The Announcer said, causing the crowd to roar with applause.

[RAAM P.O.V.]

'I, I lost?' I thought, dumbfounded.

"Hey, that was a good fight." Pyrrha said, reaching out her hand to help me up, which I accepted.

"That was, I'm a tad bummed that I lost, but hey, it's whatever, right?" I said, shrugging.

"True. You definitely live up to your reputation of the 'Raging Kryllstorm'." Pyrrha said, laughing.

"Yeah, I actually like that. That might be my new nickname." I said, laughing as well.

"Well, it looks like my family's calling me over. I hope to see you again RAAM!" Pyrrha said, running towards her family.

"Same here Pyrrha." I said, walking towards my end of the arena, but there was one thing running through my mind:

'Time to tell Ruby and Yang. I hope they don't hate me for what I've done.'


And, BOOM! Chapter's done! Now, next week, It's time for the truth to be revealed! Yeah, I tried to make this epic, but I don't know if I succeeded. I hope I did. Anyway, Don't forget to read and review, and I'll see you next time!
