"Now for the moment you've all be waiting for! The one-on-one finals!" Port announced and the crowd cheered.
In the center of the arena stood Yang who was smiling confidently along with Pyrrha, Roy, Mercury, Aidan, Sun and two other students.
"Bart, why don't you explain the rules?" Port asked and Oobleck nodded.
"Ah, it's quite simple, Peter. Instead of a bracket system, each round of the finals will be randomly determined immediately before the match takes place!" Oobleck explained.
"Much like any good hunt, there will be zero time to prepare!" Port said and Oobleck nodded in agreement.
"Ah, yes, yes! Now, let's see who our first match will be!" Oobleck said and the randomization process began and everyone stared it anticipating the two fighters that would be selected as well as to know who would fight who.
When it stopped Blake visibly paled.
"Yang Xiao Long and Aidan Bianchi!" Port announced and the crowd cheered as Yang and Aidan stepped forward to prepare for the fight.
"Break a leg, sis!" Ruby announced happily cheering her sister on with Raven, Taiyang, Qrow, and Weiss doing the same however Blake watched with a concerned look on his face.
"Would all other combatants please clear the stage!" Port Said and everyone did so while Yang and Aidan walked to the center of the area towards each other and the spotlights all focused on them.
"Don't think I'm gonna pull my punches because you're a chick." Aidan said and Yang laughed a bit.
"Funny, I was going to say the same thing to you." Yang said as she activated Ember Celica and raised her fist entering her combat stance and Aidan did the same however instead of reaching for StormBringer or Blade Wolf & Beowolf, he entered a combat stance similar to Yang's.
Both slowly start advancing towards each other with their arms raised defensively until their hands are about to touch, Aidan's arms began surging with electricity preparing for what was about to come.
"Three! Two! One! Begin!" Port Said causing both Aidan and Yang pull their arms back and punch at each other with both their punches colliding and causing the ground beneath them to break a bit as well as causing a shockwave that knocks them both back.
Both Aidan and Yang looked up each other with a look of determination on their faces with one thought running through their heads.
'I'm going to win!' They both thought as Aidan charged at Yang, she fired multiples shots from Ember Celica and Aidan quickly unsheathed Stormbringer and held it in front of him blocking each shot from Yang and continued running towards the brawler.
Upon seeing that he was just a few inches away from his opponent, Aidan leaps forward at Yang with StormBringer in its scythe form and swings it forward however Yang brings her arms upward and blocks it with Ember Celica, the ground beneath Yang breaks.
Yang pushes it back and Aidan lands back, he throws StormBringer at the boxer and ran forward taking out Beowolf and Blade Wolf aiming them at Yang and started firing.
Yang quickly side stepped as the scythe flew past her nearly cutting of a strand of her hair and she rolled out of the way as the bullets were about to connect, she fired shots from Ember Celica and she quickly looked back to see the scythe curving and heading back towards her and when it reached her dodged it again.
Aidan quickly holstered his guns and dodged the shots Yang had fired from her weapon however the last shot was about to hit him and he quickly raised his left arm and blocked the shot however his left jack sleeve was burned off revealing his bandaged arm.
Aidan saw StormBringer heading straight for him and when it reached him he grabbed it by the handle and turned it back into its sword form and it began surging with electricity.
"Catch this!" Aidan shouted as he swung StormBringer horizontally launching a wave of electricity at Yang, she fired Ember Celica and launched herself in the air dodging it.
Aidan switched StormBringer to a back hand grip and held it behind him, the sword still surging with electricity.
"C'mon! Can't keep up?" Aidan taunted as he swung his sword a bunch of times launching multiple waves of Aura and electricity at Yang, when she landed and saw this she paled a bit.
When each attack reached her, Yang quickly bobbed and weaved to avoid each attack however the last hit her and fortunately for her it was an Aura wave and the attack knocked her back, Yang looked up at the scoreboard and saw the Aura levels…Aidan had 94% while she had 90%.
'The range game isn't gonna work…need to close the distance.' Yang thought to herself as she began running at Aidan, she fired Ember Celica behind her launching her forward and pulled her arm back.
Aidan quickly raised his sword having the flat side of it face his opponent and Yang's punch connected and Aidan was pushed back on the edge of the arena and Yang immediately closing the distance between them again and threw another punch but this Aidan was unable to block and the punch hit his sword knocking it out of his hand in stabbing into deep into the arena floor.
Yang threw another punch aimed for Aidan's face however Aidan quickly ducked and his leg began surging with electricity as he delivered a lighting imbued kick to her stomach knocking her in the air, Aidan immediately leapt in the air and deliver a tornado kick sending her crashing onto the arena floor as well as cracking some of it in the process.
Aidan landed back down and took a deep breath that was until he heard something.
"That's my move Bianchi!" A voice that Aidan knew belong to none other than the silver haired asshole he knew as Mercury Black.
"Sue me Black!" Aidan shouted and quickly dodged a shot from Yang who was back up with her hair glowing bright as well as emitting flames.
"That's not good…" Tai said and Blake looked at him in confused expression with a mix of concern.
"What is it?" Blake asked wondering what Taiyang meant by 'that's not good'.
"He figured out Yang is weak to kick based attacks." Tai explained and Blake looked back at the arena.
"Aidan's at his own disadvantages." A voice behind them said and they all turned around to see Cinder along with Mercury, Neo, Emerald, Akane, a Wolf faunus and fox faunus watching the match between Yang and Aidan intently.
"What do you mean?" Blake asked.
"Aidan's semblance allows him to create electricity and focus into a part of his body to increase his own physical capabilities but he can also fire blasts of electricity at his targets however it's risky against someone like Blondie." Mercury explained.
"He's basically increasing the force of his attacks and each blow he does land on Yang when he does it, is basically giving all the more power she needs to overpower him, what makes it worse is that if he's not careful he could put himself in a bind." Mercury continued and this part intrigued Blake the most.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Aidan can use his semblance to focus it throughout his entire body greatly increasing his physical strength and speed however when he stops he is temporarily paralyzed because the electricity interferes with his nervous system and leaves him paralyzed from a couple of seconds to minutes depending on how much of he's generating." Mercury continued.
"During our initiation into Haven Academy, we ran into a Death Stalker and Aidan used his semblance in the way Mercury just described to lift it by its tail and throw it." Cinder said and everyone looked at her in shock.
"He lifted a Death Stalker?! But that thing weighs a ton!" Weiss exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yep but he was paralyzed for a whole minute and was nearly killed by a Nevermore if it wasn't for Neo jumping in and teleporting him out of there." Cinder explained.
"However it's not something he can do very well and his foster parents didn't have enough time to teach him how to use his semblance more usefully, they only had enough time to cram years of training at a combat school like Sanctum into him in such a year that they had to leave out some key subjects." Cinder continued.
"Such as?" Qrow asked becoming curious about this boy.
"Proper semblance use and anger management to name a few…however there is one issue that Yang might have with Aidan." Cinder said causing Tai, Raven, Qrow, Ruby, Weiss and Blake to raise an eyebrow.
Yang threw another punch but this time Aidan caught it much to her shock.
"Aidan's the most aggressive fighter in our school." Cinder said just as Aidan yanked on Yang's arm pulling her towards him only to punch her hard in the face with his bandaged arm. Aidan let go and Yang stumbled back putting her hands on her face.
'What the fuck?! Why did that punch make feel like I just got decked by a fucking Ursa?!' Yang thought to herself as she felt her face sting slightly from the punch, she removed her hands from her face and smirked at Aidan.
'But…that just helps me out!' Yang thought as she punched her fist together and her hair started glowing and emitting flames, she fired behind her and flew towards Aidan and threw a punch at the white haired boy.
Aidan raised his arms in a 'x' shaped guard and blocked Yang's punch however Yang fired Ember Celica and knocked him back.
"I'm ending this!" Yang yelled as she leapt forward and punched Aidan hard in the face, the force of punch broke the ground beneath him and behind him however much to everyone shock…Aidan didn't move at all his Aura however took a very heavy hit and dropped to 45%.
Aidan grabbed Yang's wrist much to her horror and began twisting it, Yang pulled her free arm back and threw another punch but Aidan grabbed her other arm by the wrist.
"Is that the best you can do blondie?" Aidan asked darkly as he raised his foot and kicked Yang hard in the chest and ripped Ember Celica off her forearms.
"My word! Aidan has just disarmed Ms. Xiao Long!" Port announced and everyone looked on in shock as Yang rolled back and looks at her wrists to see that Port was correct…she looked in Aidan's directions as he raised her gauntlet's and threw them both of the ring.
Yang simply shook her head and raised her fist again with her hair bursting with flames; Aidan smiled as electricity began surging around him.
"I don't need my weapons to beat you!" Yang said determinedly and Aidan smiled at Yang's declaration…he was definitely enjoying this fight.
"I hope so besides don't you know a dragon can't fly during a storm." Aidan taunted and Yang simply smiled at the taunt her white haired opponent made.
"Except I ain't a normal dragon!" Yang roared out as she charged forward and Aidan didn't move but instead took a quick look at Yang's aura level and saw that she was at 45% as well…and Aidan decided he was going to end this fight her and now.
His bandages arm began glowing red and electricity of the same color began surging around it, Yang reached him and threw a punch but Aidan quickly dodged it and spun around her and leapt at the opposite end of the arena away from her.
Yang turned around and looked at him however what she saw him holding made everything in her mind stop.
"Oi! Is this yours?" Aidan asked with a rather cocky smile as he raised his non bandaged arm to reveal multiple strands of Yang's hair in his hand.
Upon seeing the strands of her hair in his hands and watched as he tossed on the ground and stepped on it, Yang saw nothing but red as he eyes went from Lilac to Blood red and she let out a heart stopping roar as the arena was engulfed in flames.
Yan charged forward and drew her arm back in rage aiming for the white haired boy however Aidan prepared himself for this and pulls his bandages arm back and as Yang reached him quickly threw a punch and uppercut Yang hard in the jaw giving her more power as well as causing her aura to drop to 35%.
Aidan looked at his aura meter and saw it was rapidly dropping; he looked at the flames that was currently engulfing him, the arena and Yang.
'Shit! I forgot about the flames!'Aidan thought, his free arm quickly began surging with electricity and he retracted his bandages arm away from Yang only to uppercut her again with his other arm and watched as the flames became more intense from the amount of power Yang recovered from the hit and saw Yang's aura drop to 25%.
Aidan saw that he was now at 28% and realized he needed to finish this fight now before he lost.
"This ends now!" Aidan yelled out in frustration as he pulled his bandages arm back and deliver a powerful lightning empowered punch to Yang's chest with the force of the punch sending her flying out of the arena as well as causing the flames engulfing the arena to dissipate from the force of the punch.
Yang crashed into the barrier and fell on the ground as a buzzing sound was heard.
"Ladies and Gentleman! After an intense battle, Yang Xiao Long is eliminated by ring out and Aura level! The Winner is Aidan Bianchi!" Port announced and a couple of students and citizens from Haven cheered while others were too stunned to react from the fight they just witnessed.
Aidan fell to his knees and took several deep breathes and looked at the board and he let out a heavy sigh as he saw that his aura luckily stopped at 16% nearly past the line while Yang's aura was now at 0%.
The first thing Blake did when he saw Yang get knocked out the arena was leap out of his seat and ran, when he reached the railing he vaulted over it and landed and quickly ran to Yang's side.
When he reached her, he quickly got on his knees and lifted her up.
"Yang! Come on! Wake up!" Blake said panic in his voice as he held his unconscious girlfriend in arms.
Yang stirred a bit and opened her eyes and Lilac met amber eyes which caused her to smile a bit.
"Hey kitten." She joked and Blake let out a small laugh and helped Yang sit up a bit, upon sitting up Yang was met with Blake kissing her which surprised her but she quickly kissed back but much to her dismay it ended just as fast it started.
"I thought you were hurt." Blake admitted and Yang looked a him slightly confused.
"Why? Did I win?" She asked and Blake looked back at the arena and saw Aidan on his hands and knees breathing heavily.
"No." Blake growled out as he glared at Aidan.
"You didn't…"
Ohhhh...Blake's pissed off!
First things first! I would like to apologize because I was actually planning for this fight to be longer and slightly better than it is right now however distractions kept coming up.
Aidan: He got Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest and Birthright and has been playing Conquest like crazy while his older brother plays Birthright.
Snitch! Anyway…yes as my first OC just said, I've been playing Conquest and haven't been able to separate myself from it.
Aidan: he's finding a lot of people he wants to ship and the idea box is being sparked as we speak…
Anyway…onto the poll, currently both choices are tied by six votes each.
Aidan: So if you want to see either the Devil May Cry or Fairy Tail AU, don't forget to vote.
Speaking of Fairy Tail, I'm going to give a hint too who the third genderbent character is…
They're rivals with Roy not because their polar opposites like Natsu and Gray but because they use exactly the same type of magic(With the difference being is that Roy is a Dragon Slayer)
Anyway that Is all for this chapter and I will see you guys next chapter.
