Not As Cool Vytal Festival Tournament
Qualifier: Aria Vs. Elena
All of the characters here belong to their respective owners.
I only own my OC's.
Aria Makaw is owned by GojiGrimlockSaurus. Link to his Fanfic profile in the description.
"So who's fighting this time around?" Erza asked Ruby.
"Aria and Elena from Wanna be the Strongest in the World." Ruby explained.
"I heard about this Elena person... she's as strong as she is stubborn like Sakura." Erza mused.
"And we already know Aria," Ruby replied.
"Yes...I can't help but think that the match might go in Aria's favor since she knows boxing a bit better than Elena. But that's assuming that Elena doesn't know about boxing, which I think it's unlikely," Erza offered her insight.
"If it were a wrestling match, Elena would have an upper hand." Ruby replied.
"True, though it would be more fun to see us wrestle rather than just punch." Erza said.
"Well, talk to Mecha. He may take it into consideration. But most likely...won't." Ruby pointed out.
"I will. In fact, I am going to make it a strong recommendation." Erza stated.
Erza then stormed off to find me.
"What did you say about magic, bitch?!" Natsu roared at Elena who said something insulting about magic.
"I said Magic is stupid!" Elena shouted back, getting right up in Natsu's face.
"No, it is not! It is what we use to even give our boxing more punch to it when necessary when using your body just doesn't cut it! Don't be so quick to diss it off!" Lucy said adding to Natsu's defense of every mage's liveblood.
"That means that you're cheating!" Elena yelled.
"You're getting it all wrong!" Natsu yelled back, "Cheating are for bad people who pull dark magic and despicable tricks behind our backs!"
"But you guys are pulling tricks by using magic to your advantage!" Elena yelled.
"But we don't backstab you when we show them right in front of you and right into your face!" Gray Fullbuster saud with his voice laced with frustration and annoyance with Elena's crappy attitude.
"EVERYONE!" Erza yelled. They all stopped. "Where is Mecha?" She asked calmly.
"He's in his dorm room right now getting ready as the commentator of tonight's match, I think," Sakura said.
"What about Goji?" Erza asked.
"He's with Aria, helping her get ready." Sakura replied.
"Hmm... you'd better get ready, too, Elena. The fight is in a little bit." Erza reminded her.
"Yeah...like in the wrestling ring!" Elena slammed her fist against her palm.
"Eeh, Aria would kick you ass." Lucy said.
"You're going to be wrong, I can assure you that." Elena said back at her before leaving to prepare for the match.
"She's gonna die in there." Nastu replied.
"You doing good, Aria?" Goji asked.
"Yeah, I am. I'm going to pummel that bitch until I make her wish she wasn't born," Aria said.
"Hang on, let me get your gloves on." Ryouji replied. Goji helped her with the red boxing gloves after she put on her orange colored fighting boots.
"Thanks. Hey, is Mecha and Aileen helping us?" Aria asked. She then put on her rainbow top and yellow shorts to top it off reflecting her Faunus heritage.
"Yeah, they should be coming now." Goji remarked. Aileen and I arrived just like he said they would.
"Yo. How's the preparation going?" I asked, sitting next to Aria.
"Going well, I must say." Aria remarked.
"You ready to win?" Aileen asked.
"Yeah!" Aria raising her fist into the air declaratively.
"You look good, though a bit...out there with all the colors." Aileen remarked.
"Hey, I have fought with style before. So why stop now?" Aria said to her shrugging her shoulders.
"Eeh. Just a nitpick." Aileen confiessed.
"Nah. I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." Aria said dismissing such trivial concern as she was standing up, waiting for Foghorn to announce her to the ring.
Elena herself was getting ready. Her fighting gear consisted of a blue top with blue gloves, shorts, and boots.
"Just remember what Ms. Toyoda taught us in the wrestling ring...keep your cool and don't lose focus when you attack." Sakura reminded her friend.
"I can take her down. She's inexperienced. I actually have time spend in the ring." Elena remarked.
"I believe you do. And I believe you can take that chump out, but do be careful of what she may do in her desperation," Rio said.
"I will, Rio." Elena reassured her fellow wrestler.
"Good. Now go out there and show everyone why no one should mess with the Berserkers !" Rio patted her back.
"Yeah, do your best, Elena!" Sakura cheered.
"Give her a lesson she will soon not forget," Kurea added.
"Go, Elena!" Moe shouted.
"Hehe...thanks. Let's do this!" Elena shouted as she stood up. Then, Foghorn announced them into the arena.
"Coming, I say, coming from Japan...standing at 5'7" and at 130 pounds with Auburn hair as fierce as her fire...Elena Miyazawa!" Foghorn Leghorn announced. The audience cheered as she slowly walked to the ring with a confident smirk. Then Elena slowly stepped into the ring and waved to the adulation of the crowd. Elena's friends and colleagues all joined her, cheering her on as well.
"Then stepping into ring with style and beauty with colors akin to that of rainbow like her wings...Aria Makaw!" Foghorn announced the challenger Aria ran towards the ring followed by her boyfriend and team. The Scarlet Macaw Faunus then used her wings to fly into the ring and she folded them as soon as she landed. Aria threw her right arm up in the air, and then flexed it. The crowd cheered over her immense strength. They stood idly for a moment, and then Ren called them to the center to explain the rules.
"Alright, girls. You know the rules. Fight fair and no grappling each other by the hair or hitting below the belt." Ren said sternly to both Aria and Elena. Elena gritted her teeth and Aria smirked.
"Touch gloves." Ren ordered. They did, saying nothing to each other. Aria and Elena walked back to their corners. I gave Aria some advice.
"Listen. If there's anything I know about Elena, it's that she has a lot of stamina. She can take massive blows, but she lacks power. Sakura has more power than she does. Just something to keep in mind." I explained. Aria nodded.
"I got ya. Now we can do this!" Aria shouted.
"Don't be cocky!" Elena slammed her fists.
"I'll be as cocky as I want!" Aria shouted.
"Then...begin!" Ren shouted and the bell dinged.
Aria and Elena circled each other for the beginning of the fight.
Then Aria went to punch Elena right in the chest and her fist connected.
'Damn! She hits like a truck!' Elena thought. She then backed up and regained her bearings.
Then Elena dodged another punch and blocked another to her face. The wrestler then went for a punch to her gut and it pummeled Aria's intestines harshly.
"Argh..." Aria grunted as she did her best to hold her ground.
Elena went in for another punch to the gut and it connected, but Aria shot back with a punch to the face that made Elena spit out some saliva. Elena then felt a slight pain on her face and noticed that her cheek was slightly bruised.
'You gotta to be kidding me.' Elena said to herself out of shock that this girl has some power behind her punches.
Then Elena dodged underneath as she avoided a haymaker to the cheek by Aria before she punched the Faunus right in the chest forcing her to back off.
Then Elena quickly thought of a strategy to wear her opponent down.
'I better get her irritated with light punches to her ribs and face as well make some mock charges then backing off to get her frustrated enough to lunge at me making a mistake to in which I can exploit an opening.' Elena thought in her head.
Within that time of thinking, Aria got another shot on Elena's cheek. She consistently went for the damaged cheek to increase it's damage. But Elena quickly put her plan into action as she jabbed her right in the face and ribs rapidly using her greater stamina to her advantage to outlast and frustrate Aria.
"You little..." Aria started to get a little infuriated.
From then on, Elena consistently dodged Aria's punches and performed mock charges confusing her making Aria lose her cool as Elena danced around the ring.
"Aria! Wait for her to reach in and then go after her! Her guard drops when she reaches in! That's your time to strike!" Ryouji shouted.
Elena however caught onto what he and Aria we're scheming and kept on to her plan making mock charges and light jabs to her face.
She kept her distance in order to manipulate Aria's anger and frustration to her advantage.
"COME ON! Charge damnit!" Aria screamed as she couldn't get Elena to reach in like she hoped. Her anger was starting to get the best of her while Elena kept her head cleared and cool and focused. Aria then had enough and started to swing wildly at Elena.
As Aria swung a right hook, Elena blocked it with her own arm, and because of the force Aria gave, Her arm bent a little, almost dislocating her arm.
"AAH!" Aria shouted.
"ARIA!" Team MAG shouted.
Then Elena stunned her by punching her right between her eyes and then performing a wrestling move by pinning her to the ground with Aria's head stuck beneath her butt and her body grappled upside down with legs sticking upwards into the air.
"Hey! That's not legal!" I shouted.
"No, it is! In order to win, you need to punch them out and either pummel them into submission or wrestle and pin them into submission!" Ryuoji explained, "That's how MMA works and similar riles apply here!"
"But this is boxing, not MMA!" I yelled.
Then Elena got off of Aria and pushed her up to her feet and shoved her onto the rope where she did a hard line right to her face knocking her down!
"Ouch..." Aileen looked away.
Then Elena got on top of Aria and started punching the daylights out of Aria bloodying her face.
Aria kept trying to block all the blows Elena was giving her, but was failing as her guard was falling.
"Stop it, you two!" Ren pried the two apart clearly frustrated at this point.
After separating Elena from Aria, the bell rang and both retreated to their corners. Aria was breathing heavily, after the amount of rules Elena broke just now that caused her to be so wounded, and Elena was just...laughing.
"I told you, Lucy! I'd win!" Elena taunted Lucy, who was watching in horror at the stands. She then got up and seemed to call someone.
Ren then stormed off to Ryuoji as he glared at him.
"What?" Ryouji threw his arms up in the air.
"You have made the rules of the ring too dangerous for either of the fighters." Ren stated sternly.
"Okay...I will admit that I got the rules mixed up a bit with MMA." Ryuoji scratched his head in admittance of his error.
"Yes, and it's too dangerous for either one of them!" Ren scolded Ryouji.
"Then we will have to change it after the fight's over, but for now have both of them stick to punching the daylights out of each other and win by knockout!" Ryuoji said firmly.
"*Sigh* Very well..." Ren left the corner.
Aria was nursing her almost broken shoulder with Aileen, Mecha, and Goji/Ryuoji tending to her injuries.
"Ow.." Aria groaned.
"It definitely looks bad." I remarked, holding her left arm delicately.
"It looks like Elena is more powerful than before and she is a far cry from the hothead I have seen of her years ago." Ryuoji mentioned referring to Elena's more mature and careful approach than her earlier brash and hotheaded temperament of yesteryear.
"When did you change the rules, again?" I pressed Ryouji. He avoided the question by not answering, which caused me to get a little steamed.
"I thought she'd never change...but I was wrong. We all were." I said, looking at everyone. Aria simply growled at Elena who was sitting across from her, in near tip top shape.
"You're doing great, Elena! All those lessons from Ms. Toyoda and and some sparring with Toyoda really paid off!" Sakura said fist bumping her best friend.
"Ah, don't forget how many times we have sparred each other and the many opponents that we faced whether separately or together in the ring. We had to learn those strategies and how to be patient and coolheaded at times and only being fired up when there's the opportunity." Elena fist-bumped her back.
"You've really come a long way, Elena. Your determination has allowed you to keep going." Rio said, clenching her fist.
"Fighting against the Jackal really helped you too in realizing that being hotheaded don't always work to your advantage." Kurea added as she congratulated her fellow wrestler.
"But Jackal was much more difficult than this." Elena remarked.
"This chump...she's nothing. With such temper like that, you were dancing circles around her and she couldn't get a clue of what's happening to her! You should be able to finish her off in no time!" Rio pumped her fist.
Aria heard what Rio said, and got even more angry.
"Aria, keep your cool!" I shouted.
"You should listen to him...unless, you want me to beat the crap out of you again." Elena taunted her, "I'd be more than happy to oblige to teach you how to be beaten up in Getting Your Ass Kicked 101."
"I WILL DESTROY YOU!" Aria sprung off her stool and was held back by her team.
"We will see about that." Elena said with a smug smile on her face with Rio pulling out a raspberry spit at Aria.
"Talk about being smug and arrogant," Yang growled at the Berserk Wrestlers.
"I can't understand how Sakura Hagiwara can be friends with such girls," Pyrrha said with disdain for Rio.
"They love to have fun with each other?" Ruby guessed.
"By making others miserable?" Weiss asked.
"I think that's just how wrestlers are. Particularly when they are tightly knit within a social group. Meaning they might only care about each other, but not for others outside of their circle." Jaune noted.
"Well, Aria should teach them something..." Nora growled, cracking her knuckles.
"That remains to be seen...," Jaune said with worry as Elena was keeping her head cool and focused now with an endgame plan in mind while Aria was shouting all kinds of expletives at her and waving her fists at her from her corner.
"Aria! Calm down!" Aileen yelled.
"That Rio bastard! I will kill her! I am going to desecrate her mouth if it's the last thing I do before wiping the smirk off of Elena Miyazawa!" Aria was in full rage now.
"I really hope Aria listens to us when the second round starts.." I said with genuine concern.
"Me too...," Ryuoji said. Then the bell dinged and the second round was already off to a start.
"Now, I am going to you hit you harder than before in your life!" Aria screeched loudly as she already rushed forward with her fist cocked backward for a mighty swing, to which Elena saw that coming from a miles away.
"Aria, WAIT!" Ryuoji tried to stop his girlfriend, but it was too late as Elena ducked underneath the mighty punch and punched her in the ribs multiple times breaking all of her ribs in the process before proceeding to give a very strong uppercut to Aria's chin sending her almost flying out of the ring.
Aria leaned on the ropes for a moment. She then shook her head to wake herself up.
"LISTEN TO US!" I yelled. Elena was making her way to Aria. She snapped out of her rage as she knew that it wasn't working.
"Take her out now!" Sakura made a fist and uppercutted the air. Time slowed to a crawl. Elena started the motion of the uppercut. Aria looked for any weakness in her guard to strike. She found one. Within dropping her right arm to make the uppercut, she left her right cheek and abdomen wide open. Aria then smirked. Then, time came back to normal. Aria dodged the uppercut by weaving her head to the left. Then, she used her left foot to step in and give a sucker punch to Elena's cheek. However, Elena grabbed Aria's fist and pulled her in for a headbutt right to her forehead twice before grappling her and shoving her right onto the ropes and wailing on Aria with punches to the face and her neck.
Aria did her best to stand up. Aria then went in for an uppercut. It connected to Elena's chin, and she stumbled back.
Elena shook her head and quickly blocked Aria's punch while quickly punching Aria right in the ribs and the left arm breaking it completely from Aria's shoulder making it limp, dangling uselessly.
"FUCK!" I yelled
"No!" Aria complained.
"Now to finish you off for good!" Elena shouted.
"Not if I have a say in it!" Aria still charged in. Both of them went in for massive blows. They both connected, creating a mini-shockwave.
Then Aria was knocked back and her head hit the steel of the corner hard knocking her out cold for good while Elena tumbled across the arena floor.
"Wow...damn...," Elena slowly stood up to her feet using her gloves and knees to do so while Aria remained unconscious and unmoving for a long time.
"The winner by a knockout is Elena Miyazawa!" Foghorn announced after the bell dinged once more ending the match in Elena's favor and victory.
"ARIA!" Goji, Aileen and I yelled as we vaulted into the ring.
"Oh good Oum, she's bleeding!" Ryuoji pointed to the wound on Aria's head with blood trickling down her face.
I looked and glared at Elena who was celebrating.
"You did it! You won!" Sakura high-fived Elena and Elena returned the gesture.
"See! I knew you showed that amateur what it means to wrestle with a Berserk Wrestler and have her ass handed to her on a silver platter!" Rio exclaimed with a gleeful grin on her face.
"You..." I growled.
"Alex, no." Ryuoji said calmly to his friend, "Let them have their moment, but I can assure you that your girlfriend will have the chance to avenge Aria later on. But now, don't give them anymore reason to spit at us in our faces or ridicule us."
I looked at Aria. I put my hand on the back of her head. I then shed a tear.
"Ryouji. Take her to an infirmary. Now. She's in bad shape. And watch over her." I ordered. Goji then picked his girlfriend up and carried her out of the arena. Aileen and I then stood up, facing Berserk's members. Elena then taunted us.
"Aria was nothing more than a birdbrained wuss waiting to have her feathers plucked and her goose cooked! But don't think that you all are exempt from having me roast you too. In fact, you're girlfriend's going to be probably next after I put that Lucy Bun-Bun in her to place to show how helpless and cowardly she is up against a real fighter without her magical tricks. To show everyone that Fairy Tail are nothing more than pranking fraudsters and scaredy-cat charlattans without their magic to save them/" Elena taunted them with the rest of Berserk's members, except Sakura and Moe, laughing with her.
Aileen and I clenched our fists. My fist was dripping blood from Aria's head injury. We slowly stomped towards them.
"Did I touch some raw nerves? Good...because I thought you are spineless. Maybe you're not after all," Elena smirked.
"Or at least, you're pretending not to be afraid. You wouldn't want to reflect badly on your team, would you now?" Kurea took another shot at both him and Aileen.
"You'd better quit it." I hissed.
"Oh we will...after I show your girlfriend a hell of a good time through the school of hard knocks and like I said, after I deal with Fairy Tail's Lucy and humiliate her in front of the whole world to see." Elena said.
I then held her by her bra.
"You'd better know something. Aileen? She's got a nasty punch." I growled. I put my head on hers. Elena got a good look at Aileen's fist.
"You'd best hope..." I let Aileen finish the threat.
"I don't kill you." Aileen threatened.
"Bring it on, then." Elena said unfazed by him or Aileen. "After all, I faced opponents more terrifying and tougher than either Aria or your girlfriend will ever be."
"Oh please." I rolled my eyes.
"You sure?" Aileen got in Elena's face.
"I am. So give it all you got, because I am not going to hold my punches back." Elena answered.
Aileen and Elena had a stare off. Then, without warning, Aileen socked Elena right in the face, giving her a taste of her power.
"Damn...you've got a strong punch...good technique, too...but if you want to do this..." Elena then tried to punch Aileen back, but I grabbed her fist.
"You aren't laying a hand on her." I spat in her face and uppercutted her as well.
"HEY!" Sakura jumped to protect her best friend.
"Back off!" Rio stood in front of Elena. We did, with Aileen and I staring at Elena. Then after a few intense minutes, both left with Aileen stomping off with me to check on Aria's condition.
Elena was leaving the arena with her fellow Berserk wrestlers until she saw all of Fairy Tail standing in front of them with their angry stares glaring at them with their arms crossed showing their displeasure at her.
"Sup." Nastu growled.
"I wasn't expecting to run into you guys, but then, I am glad that I did. Because I have a message for you all, especially the blonde haired bitch wuss of yours." Elena pointed her finger at Lucy.
"What do you have to say?" Lucy asked coldly.
"I am coming after you. You better train with your fists well when I do. No hocus pocus tricks of yours is going to save you from having your buns bruised after I open a can of whoopass keep kicking at you. I'm going to wipe the floor with your body after I thrash you. And if any of your Celestial gods...or ghosts or whatever get in my way, they are going to see real stars. Maybe... I will have them kiss your stinking ass goodbye after I pummel you into a bloody mess." Elena threatened.
Lucy took that as a big offense and got up in Elena's face.
"First Aria, now this?!" She screamed.
"Got a problem?" Elena taunted her.
"Yeah! You're picking fights with everyone here! Aileen challenged you, you destroyed Aria, and now you're after me!" Lucy remarked.
"Berserkers only look out for Berserkers and the Divas, isn't that right, girls?!" Sakura asked her own group and they all said yes in an unanimous chorus of agreement.
"Anyone else who wishes to challenge us will get the full package and that includes..." Then Sakura, Moe, and Rio splashed several liters of orange juice onto Lucy, Team Natsu, Lisanna, Romeo, Juvia, Laxus, Happy, Lily, Gajeel, Levy, and others from their containers.
"By the way, this is what we think of your magic."
"Nothing more than pure hogwash!" Rio mocked them as they were sticky and dripping with orange juice all over.
I then took a picture and Aileen took a video of that whole ordeal.
Goji was sitting aside Aria in the infirmary. She had a massive bandage over her hair covering the head blow she got, and her arm was in a cast. She was still unconscious.
"I am sorry, Aria." Ryuoji said despondently.
He then looked on a TV that was in the corner of the room, showing Aileen getting in Elena's face. The caption said:
"Tournament fighter challenges Qualifyer winner."
"Oh no." Ryouji said.
Just now, Aileen and I happened to walk into the infirmary at the time the broadcast was shown.
"How's she doing?" I asked.
"Is she alright?" Aileen added.
"She's resting, but Aileen! What do in Oum's name are you thinking?!" Ryuoji pointed to the TV screen on the other side of the room.
"Wha?!" Aileen was confused for a second. She then looked at the TV. "Oh."
"Yeah. Now you really have to avoid Elena." Ryuoji stated.
"No. If I run into her, I'll settle it right there and then." Aileen clenched her fist.
"That's exactly what she wants you to do so she can destroy you with whatever's available in the environment like a chair or something! She can ambush you or have her friends gang up on you without anyone watching!" Ryuoji explained.
"I can handle myself." Aileen insisted.
"You going to stop her?" Goji shouted.
"No." I said with an emotionless stare.
"Then I have no choice." Then Ryuoji slammed the door of the infirmary shut before Aileen could leave.
"Get out of my way." She ordered.
"No. I will not in my good conscience allow my friend to become prey to her own sense of vengeance and the Berserkers' ambition to dominate the ring! It's already stressful having to be the commentary of each match and now having to worry about Aria's health! I don't need you to become part of my worry list! In fact, I am already worried every time our girls including you have to step into the ring with risk of injury at every time!" Ryuoji shouted.
Aileen didn't even move. Not one single muscle. She didn't care.
"And what happens if those Berserk girls ambush you in a location that even I, Alex, and Aria don't even know about?! Then who's going to immediately come to rescue you or fend off Elena, Sakura, Moe, Rio, Kurea, and Chinatsu?! Each of those girls are capable of wrestling a woman or cocky man into submission or critically injure one alone with each having their own many years of experience in the wrestling ring!" Ryuoji continued.
"I can handle myself." Aileen repeated.
"You might. But you don't have the skillsets or the level of experience these wrestlers have! You are nothing more than a child to them and they will crush you or spank you like a toddler to break you!" Ryuoji argued throwing his hands up in the air.
"Out of my goddamn way." Aileen started to push her way to the exit.
"Then you will have to do it over my dead body! I am not trying to stop you from fighting, I am trying to protect you from more pain and agonizing frustrations if you try to take them on outside the ring! I am trying to save you and your career here!" Ryuoji was really getting angry and desperate not budging an inch from the door. Everyone else came to check on Aria's condition when they saw what happened next.
I then took out my katana.
"Enough." And I hit Goji on the head.
"W-why?" He asked as he faded into a coma.
"I'm helping her." I answered before he hit the ground.
"W-Why?" Ruby voiced with tremulous shaking in her voice as she and her team couldn't believe what was happening in the infirmary in front of them, "W-Why did you do that?! Goji was just trying to help you guys and repay him by knocking him out cold!"
"Yeah! Explain what the hell you have done?!" Yang shouted with her eyes red.
"Put him in the chair." I ordered Aileen. She did exactly that and we started to walk out. We didn't even answer any questions they had.
Yang, infuriated, rushed at them and tackled both Aileen and me to the ground!
I then took out my katana yet again, and this time, holding it towards Yang's neck.
"Get off me or I'll cut you." I threatened.
"I can't let you do that!" Yang roared.
"Well, I warned you." And I actually cut her on the neck.
"ALEX!" This time it was Ozpin, who was horrified and angry as he was seeing his own students harm each other with one cutting her neck with a katana no less!
"Both of you! STAND DOWN!" Ozpin roared.
I did as he told.
"I heard what happened and while I understand your hatred and anger towards Elena's brusque and arrogant behavior, what your doing is no different than what she did. No, even worse! Not only that, I see that you knocked your own friend out cold when he was trying to prevent you two from walking into a catastrophic situation where not only you possibly lose your lives or have your careers ended prematurely because of a rash foolish decision you made! But also jeopardize the safety of the student body, the continuity of the tournament, and the credibility of Beacon Academy to ensure the safety of everyone within and outside the arena!" Ozpin reprimanded both of them harshly. "Now as of this moment, you have harmed one of your own out of anger and hatred clouding your judgment!"
He pointed to the neck wound that was being healed on Yang Xiao Long thanks to her deep immense levels of her Aura.
"I'm not clouding my judgement!" I protested.
"Then what was it you were doing?" Ozpin growled.
"I...I...I FELT GUILTY!" I screamed.
"That does not explain why your guilt would make you attack your own friends just so as to settle a personal score with Elena Miyazawa when it can settled out in the ring?!" Ozpin snarled not convinced of his reasoning.
"I felt guilty for what happened!" I shrilled. Everyone was quiet. "I should've-I should've done something to stop what happened!" I started to shed tears. "If I had jumped in there and stopped the match, Elena would be disqualified like she should be right now, and Aria wouldn't be in a bad spot! She wouldn't have her SKULL SPLIT OPEN! She wouldn't be NEAR DEATH!" I shrieked. "What I was doing was I was going to change the rules for good. Then I was going to work day and night to train Aileen for her matches. And then, maybe...just maybe, if Elena can do it, they'll fight in the semifinals." I explained my reasoning. I then went quiet for a moment.
"That was what I was going to do, Ozpin. And know this. Elena Miyazawa is going to either fall, or die in the ring. Either one won't matter to me. I prefer if she lives. I really do. But nearly killing a team member is something I won't stand for." I then stormed off. Aileen slowly followed behind me.
"If you seek vengeance, Alex and Aileen, you will only find ruin waiting for you both. And it won't be just you that would be affected," Ozpin said sadly to them.
"I understand and will accept the concequences." I replied. "And I seek justice. For Aria."
"Would Aria want you to suffer for your own actions or lose your life for nothing?" Ozpin's words had them turn around to face him and Team RWBY again.
"I doubt Aria would be very happy or forgiving of her friends becoming the very monsters that attacked her just so as to avenge her. I might dare say, she would be against you."
"Then let's have her tell us now. Oh, wait. She's in a coma." I growled.
"That doesn't matter now that you attacked her boyfriend as to shut him up." Ozpin said, "And frankly, I can't have you endanger everyone with your reckless quest for revenge. I'm sorry, but your denial has left me with no choice."
"And what are-UGH!" I was knocked out cold by Yatsuhashi by hit in the back of his head by the pommel of his great sword.
"Alex-AACK!" Aileen was hit in the head by Coco's purse and was rendered unconscious as she fell to the floor with a thud.
"*Sigh* Kid, I sympathize with ya, but it's not worth risking your life over a senseless quest of vengeance." Coco said with sympathy and understanding knowing what it is like to be in Aileen and my situation.
"What should we do with them?" Ruby asked.
"Have them confined to the detention room two days until they calm down and come to their senses." Ozpin said.
"Got it." The group picked up our bodies and brought them to said detention room.
Ozpin sighed and it was just then that Ryuoji woke up and slowly ambled to the commotion that happened in the hall outside of the infirmary.
"What happened, sir?" Ryuoji asked the Headmaster, who gave him a sad, pained expression of regret on his face as he explained what just happened.
"They were about to hunt Elena and the Berserk Wrestlers, but harmed you and Yang in the process in their quest for vengeance. I had no choice but to have Team CFVY silence them and Team RWBY to send them and lock them up in the detention room for two days." Ozpin explained.
Ryuoji face palmed himself as he knew it wasn't pretty, but it had to be done to save Aileen and me from destroying themselves or be destroyed by Elena and the Berserk Wrestlers.
"I knew it would come to this. I tried to warn them, but I am saddened that something like this had to be done." Ryuoji said shaking his head.
"They could no longer see reason and they were on a very treacherous path." Ozpin remarked.
"And I am thankful that you stopped them from going any further." Ryuoji continued, "I don't know if I can handle more of my friends being brutally bashed or injured at the rate they went just for Aria's sake."
"I just hope they can come to terms with their mistakes." Ozpin said grimly.
"So do I, sir... So do I." Ryuoji said looking sadly at the corridor in front of him.
Meanwhile in their spacious guest room, Fairy Tail was anything but cheerful tonight as they had no choice but to let Elena and her fellow Wrestlers walk over them without a fight after they were humiliated in front of the whole crowd. Not to mention, that they were still covered in orange juice with Wendy crying her eyes out.
"Those Berserk bastards..." Natsu growled.
"The nerve of those girls...who do they think they are bossing us around like we are their slaves?!" Gray hissed as he hated how Elena looked down on them.
"They are completely rude!" Erza growled.
"We need to teach them a lesson!" Lucy shouted.
"She even dared to make fun of the bond between me, Lisanna, and Mirajane saying that I am a huge wimp! An overgrown shit man cowardly enough to behind my sisters' skirts when the going gets too tough! No man or woman should have a kick making fun of a man's close bond with his sisters!" Elfman crushed a can of Pepsi in his massive hand.
"Not only that, those bastards even mocked me looking like I am some rickety, rusty tin man from some crappy sci-fi fantasy B-movie! That's unacceptable!" Gajeel snarled.
"They call me a baby Panther kitty who has lost his mommy!" Lily roared.
"Moe yanked on my tail so hard," Happy said with anime tears as his tail was yanked so hard that it looked crooked.
"They pointed to my chest as not up to stuff! They called me a walking washboard!" Wendy wailed.
"They made fun of my precious love with my Gray-sama! AARRGGGHH! They don't know anything about true love!" Juvia cried out, enraged.
"I heard about Mecha and how he and Aileen have a grudge against Elena now," Natsu pointed out.
"Not just that...I heard Edea and her friends from Bravely Default are having problems with the Berserk Wrestlers as well when they were calling them overgrown kids that shouldn't be in the ring with the grown ups." Laxus said as he gritted his teeth, "How condescending they are! Just thinking about them makes me wanna go Dragon mode on them!"
"Maybe we should..." Lucy growled.
"Unfortunately, they also attracted attention of rather unusual competitors and those people respected them for their show of strength like the Jaegers, and some from Tales of Berseria." Cana gripped her mug hard.
"Damn...This is hard..." Erza growled.
"And they are making friends well with the very people that I mentioned including the Anna Williams from Tekken, and Zarya from Overwatch. So they could possibly form an alliance." Cana remarked.
"An alliance?! To do what?" Happy shouted.
"Possibly to take out the weaker competitors so in the end that leaves only the strong ones to compete in the ring among themselves and it will boil down to simply who will be the strongest of the strong female fighters to come out on top." Cana explained the possibility.
"That was going to happen anyway. But are they just taking out the weakest to better their chances? Like some kind of murder mystery?" Mirajane asked.
"It is highly likely, but also to evaluate their allies as well and see what are their strengths as well as their weaknesses when the opportunity arises." Cana said.
"We can't let that stand, can we?" Lucy asked.
"Damn right we won't," Natsu said punching his palm, "In fact, let's pay them a visit and give them a piece of our mind! Show them why dissing off Fairy Tail is the worst mistake they will ever make in their lives!"
"First, though, we should get the others who were terrorized by these assholes." Gray said.
"Good idea!" Team Natsu were about to open the door and they did, but only to have, much to their horror and disgust, to have a bucket load of horse and dog crap poured onto them!
"What?!" Everyone yelled.
"Since we were so rude to you, we thought of giving you an apology gift. By giving you the very thing that you guys are so full of whenever we watch about your show...crap. A pile of crap as food for thought!" Rio's voice sounded through the speakers installed in the corners of the ceiling of their guest room.
"Ugh...why?" Erza asked.
"You talk about how the bonds of your magic and your nakama can overcome anything that life can throw at you. Ugh...such talk. So sanctimonious and so hypocritical. You make me wanna puke!" Elena sounded disgusted, "Let me tell you what. You can only make so much friends before life throws curveballs at you. It is better to only have a small group of trusted friends with the strength to back it up than to have a large group of friends that have so-called friends before they abandon you at a convenience's notice."
"HOLD UP!" A familiar voice yelled. It was Edea and her friends confronting Berserk.
"Well...well, what do we have here? A bunch of kiddie losers." Moe said.
"First of all, we're older than you think." Tiz said.
"Really? You barely look like prepubescent teenagers, which is fitting considering how you lost to that Rose kid." Kurea said not believing Tiz's claim.
"Agnes is 21, I'm 20, Ringabel is...we don't know his age...and Edea is 19." Tiz explained.
"Huh... I didn't know that. I was afraid that we might have to hold back, but now we don't have to." Sakura said to them.
"What? Right now?" Agnes asked.
"Yeah...," Sakura said with a smirk as she smacked Agnes with such strength that she sent Agnes sprawling across the floor with a bruise on her cheek.
"Agnes!" Tiz ran to her aid.
"We're not going to fight you...not yet, anyways. This is just to show our strength." Sakura declared.
"When did you become a villain?!" Another voice shouted.
It was me. I broke out of the detention with Aileen.
"We're not villains...this is simply the reality of being in ring, whether it is boxing, MMA, or WWE. Nice girls finish last." Rio said.
"Is that so?" I growled.
"Yeah...you don't get far by being a softie all the time. In fact, you have to be tough, ruthless, and dominant to get where we are as the top dog of the food chain!" Elena explained, "That's why we're letting everybody know that we are the top dogs of the tournament!"
"Yang fights fair. Tifa fights fair. Leone fights fair! You guys are the only ones who would throw away your own dignity to keep yourselves on top!" I shouted.
"That's only because they are strong! If they weren't, then they wouldn't have the luxury to fight fair if they're so weak!" Chinatsu shouted.
"No, if they weren't strong, they'd train their asses off to get strong enough! Just like how you and Elena did!" I pointed my finger at Sakura.
"Yes, and we did, but sometimes it is not enough! Even the strongest predators like wolves need other members of the pride to reinforce their ecological place at the top because no single individual can keep the title without having allies to back him up. Likewise, one pack can't always keep the ecosystem under control without having to form alliances with other packs." Sakura said, "And when you pick a fight with one wolf, you're picking a fight with the whole pack! But when you're fighting against one pack, you against its allies!"
"Wow. Do you have NO SELF PRIDE?!" Aileen screamed.
"We do. It just comes from somewhere else. You want to know our secret?" Elena toyed with us.
"Where does it come from?" I played along.
"It comes from our pack! Get em', guys!" Sakura yelled.
Then Aileen and I were then suddenly ambushed by Esdeath and the Jagers followed by Anna Williams and her visiting sister, Nina Williams, and then by Velvet Crowe and Eleanor that went on the attack against the Bravely Default characters.
The Berserk Wrestlers went onto have a brawl with the enraged Fairy Tail members out in the hallway.
Author's Note:
Yeah...that's the first major conflict in this...The Berserk Wrestlers. I have a few personal things to say about that.
This was not my idea in any way. The whole, Elena breaking the rules bit? That was Goji. He said, and I quote... "I want to show that these are not the same Berserk wrestlers since much time has past and they have been exposed to different arenas and competitions with some being harsher and more competitive forcing them to adopt strategies to survive." This is why he wanted things to be like they were. I originally rejected the idea, but I thought it would be great for a plot device, so I kept it in. But, ever since then, Goji and I made a pact that we wouldn't do anything over the top like that again. Because not only is it a BOXING tournament, not an MMA or WWE tournament, but it's my story and I want it to be the way I want it to be. There are a few exceptions to this, but I'm keeping them under wraps, since they play an important role later.
Also, Goji helped me yet again. You already know that, but I need to say it.
