Alright here is chapter 21, with part 2 of the beach arc. I really have nothing else to say. I own nothing except my ideas and OC Assassin's.

George/Weiss vs Ryan/Nora.

George and Nora glared at each other, their pride as the 'strength' of their groups on the line. Weiss and Ryan were also on alert, their agility evening out the field quite well.

"Begin"! Aria shouts while tossing the ball in the air. Ryan jumps and smacks the ball, which Weiss returns easily. Nora leaps upward and slams the ball down, forcing George to step in front and return. "Sheesh, tough lass aren't ya"? George asks with a grin. Nora just grins. George leaps upwards and spikes the ball, knocking it into the ground, making a small crater and giving them a point. Weiss smacks George's arm. "Could you please restrain yourself, we don't want this to look like a battleground". Weiss ridicules. George nods before getting back in position. Ryan threw the ball in the air, before passing it to Nora suddenly, letting the Bubbly Bomber slam it downward, scoring a point. George grits his teeth as Ryan and Nora high five. The exchange went back and forth, with Ryan and George letting their Semblance's slip from time to time. As shown when Ryan knocked the ball back when it moved so fast that even Ash couldn't react in time. And when George smacked the ball so hard that Nora couldn't return it, resulting in a bigger crater than before. It finally finished when George's Semblance enhanced slam was countered by Ryan's enhanced senses, allowing Nora to block it and give them the point with a sudden spike.

"Ryan and Nora win"! Aria announces while they all clap. Weiss huffs while George sighs and congratulates his 'brother'.

"Next, Ren/Pyrrha vs Yaron/Ruby"! Aria announces.

Ren was keeping a glancing eye at Yaron who returned it, both of them being the most agile of their teams. Ruby kept an eye on Pyrrha, even though Ruby could move like a bullet, Pyrrha's speed was no slouch either. Ash was watching his Assassin brothers sizing each other up, even though he wasn't going to play soon, he wanted to think of a strategy for whoever wins.

"Begin"! Aria announces. Ren leapt and spiked the ball suddenly, forcing Yaron to dig into the ground and knock it back. Pyrrha expertly spun and kicked it from the air, knocking towards Ruby who panicked slightly. Ruby decided to use her speed for momentum, which meant she spun around quickly and knocked it back, making her fall over from recoil, giving the other two time to score the first point. Yaron quickly lifts Ruby up as the next round began. Ruby, wanting to make up for her blunder, sped towards the ball and spiked it with everything she had, surprising the two enough to score a point. Ruby cheered at that. It went like that for a while, the N and P of JNPR using their teamwork to decimate their opponents, while Yaron used his agility, and Ruby her speed, to keep the score even. Pyrrha and Ren finally finished it when Ren launched her in the air, and letting her use the momentum to kick the ball downward, landing them the victory.

"Ren and Pyrrha win"! Aria announces while they cheer. Yaron sighs and cricks his neck while Ruby pouts, only to get remedied by Ash tussling her hair.

Aria checked the board and frowned, they needed a team to go up against Ash and Yang so it would be even 4. Aria smirks before taking a random name and stamping it on the board. "Since we were a team short, I put a team that lost back on the board, which is...George and Weiss"! Aria announces while George cheers. "We'll take a quick break so they can get themselves a break". Aria says while all nod. Ash and George both gave each other a competitive glare, while Yang and Weiss simply glared.

10 minutes later.

Ash/Yang vs George/Weiss

Ash cracked his knuckles as they got into position. Ash saw Yang's hair glowing yellow, obviously about to make use of her Semblance, along with Weiss who had her hand ready to summon a glyph. Ash sighed before glancing at George who was also glowing with Semblance energy. "Oh for goodness sake". Ash mutters before grinning. "Might as well make it a show to remember". Ash says before his tail unwraps from his waist, with it waving around behind him.

"Begin"! Aria announces. Ash and George leapt for the ball, only to be stopped by Weiss who appeared with a glyph. "Not this time". She taunts before hitting the ball. Yang's hair glowed with fire as she returned it. Ash twirled in mid air and smacked the ball downward with his tail, making a point. George growls slightly before Weiss passed the ball to him, using a glyph to launch him up. "Grand Slam"! George shouts before slamming the ball with all his might. Ash growled before focusing his Aura into his hands. Ash smacked the ball upwards, which blasted it into the air, and knocked Ash back. Ash fell out of bounds, giving George and Weiss a point. Ash rubbed his hands which are being healed by his Aura. "You alright"? George asks, concerned. Ash nods before shaking his hands and getting in position. The ball was slammed, passed, spiked, and many more as both teams continued their game. The winner was finally decided when George used his Semblance to launch the ball high in the air, and let Weiss slam it down with the use of her glyphs, taking the winning point.

"George and Weiss win"! Aria announces while they all cheer for the amazing game. Ash sighed and tipped his hat, hiding his eyes, while Yang crossed her arms angrily.

"It's time for the next round". Aria began while the teams got set.

Ryan/Nora vs Ren/Pyrrha

Ryan shuffled in place while Nora waved at Ren, who returned it calmly. Pyrrha had her guard up, the rumors of the Assassin's in Vale were no rumors, after all, she's going against one and has one on her side. Pyrrha turned to Ren. "Got a strategy against those two"? Pyrrha asks. Ren bit his lip. "Ryan is nimble, and can make use of his Semblance to heighten his senses, allowing fast balls to be negated. Nora can take the tough shots, which leaves them with no weaknesses except to outsmart them". Ren evaluated. Pyrrha gritted her teeth at the unknowingly invincible duo. "Begin"! Aria shouts.

Ren ran forward and spiked the ball first, allowing it to fly downward to the ground, only to be stopped by Ryan who returned. Pyrrha expertly faked a spike, passing it to Ren who also passed back, throwing the two off. Pyrrha spiked the ball for real, taking a point. Ryan gritted his teeth before using his Semblance to hit the ball at a pace the two couldn't follow, giving them a point. Nora cheered before slamming the ball hard with no tactic at all, unfortunately due to the two knowing her strength, they move back and let the ball hit the ground, kicking up dirt and making a crater bigger than George's, making said Assassin huddle in shame. Ryan fist bumps with Nora before continuing the game.

It was tied 9-9, one had to make the final decision. Pyrrha and Ren along with Ryan and Nora were all exhausted, their teammates cheering them on. Pyrrha nods to Ren who returns it. Pyrrha knocks the ball into the air, before cupping her hands together and throwing Ren upward, who hits the ball with a palm attack, launching it fast. Ryan also nodded to Nora who returned it. Ryan got behind Nora and put his hands on her shoulders before activating his Semblance, his contact with Nora affecting her. Nora gathered her energy before attempting to send the ball back, which pushed them back. Nora launched it, with the two of them falling back. The ball went flying into Ren's open palm. "We win". Ren says before pointing at the two's feet. They look down and notice they were out of bounds.

"Ren and Pyrrha win again"! Aria announces, with the small crowd they gathered cheering wildly. Ryan sighed and kicked the sand a bit while Nora threw a small rant.

"Time for the final round". Aria began.

to be continued.

Cliffhanger peoples, who do you think is going to win? George and Weiss, or Ren and Pyrrha? I made it a literal game, not a game which you knew who was going to win, it was completely random. Anyway R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
