Round One.
The sun rose upon Vale, and on a cliff with a beautiful view were a grave with the inscription: "Summer Rose – Thus Kindly I Scatter". In front of said grave stood non other than Ruby Rose.
Ruby lowers her hood, smiling sadly downat the grave "Hey, mom. Sorry I haven't come by in a while. Things have been... well, things have been, pretty busy. Oh, Dad's here, too! He's, uh, you know... Dad. He's still teaching at Signal. But he told me that he's going to be on some mission soon. I think he misses adventuring with you" She looks forlornly "I miss you too. Haven't gotten kicked out of Beacon yet! So that's cool. I think being on a team with Yang helps. Keep her in line... That was a joke".
She paused for a moment "She's actually a really great fighter! You can tell she's learned a lot from Dad! Oh, so are Laura, Weiss and Blake. Oh! They're my teammates! And Laura is even dating Yang! Never saw that coming, but they make a very cute couple and I wish you could have seen them together, they are having a lot of fun with each other. Though I can't shake the feeling they have done more then what they have told us. But Laura has been a little down lately. My guess is that she is still thinking of her hard past. Let's just say, she did not have a good childhood and she was very moody when we first met her. But she is getting better and better everyday. Maybe she just needed some friends. We met her dad, but he did not stick around that long. Together, we form Team RWBLY! And yes, before you ask, that does cause a lot of confusion".
"Anyways, I made a bunch of new friends, and then I met some... let's just say, uh, odd teachers. Oh! We've also stopped some bad guys, too! I guess it's like they say: "like mother, like daughter"! I still wonder why Ozpin let me into the school early. But uh, I guess he'll tell me one day. You know how he is. It's funny, the more I get to know him, the more he's starting to sound like Uncle Qrow" A bark alerts her to the ever-adorable Zwei and the sight of her father in the trees behind her "Oh! Looks like Dad's back! I gotta go! He's dropping me off at Beacon for the tournament match before he goes on his next mission. Wish me luck!" She puts the hood back on and starts to walk away, but turns and delivers one final message to her mother "It was good to talk".
With that said, Ruby jogs back to her family.
Latter that day, team RWBLY was locked in combat with another team called Team ABRN, of Haven.
Though alot would think that 5 on 4 is an uneven and unfair match. But Oobleck and Port was more than happy to explain it.
"Ladies and gentlemen. I present to you, the first 5 member team in Beacon history. Team RWBLY" Oobleck said.
"I know a lot of you think that 5 on 4 are an unfair game. But keep in mind this is a team round and these five girls are a part of that team, so it is within the rules" Port explained.
Yang lands mere feet away from Arslan, the leader of Team ABRN, who backs away before being pounded by a flurry of punches and kicks until she delivers her own hits, ending with the two smashing fists and creating a shockwave of force from the impact. Yang and Arslan are both thrown back, but Yang reaches her and tries delivering more blows before Arslan uses her rope dart to tangle up her blonde adversary and land a kick of her own to send Yang skidding on the ground. While Yang tries to get her balance back on the slippery surface, Arslan rushes forward.
But before she could land a blow, Laura caught her arm and spun her around before throwing her away. She looked at Yang who winked at her, making her smile, before they resumed the fight.
Nearby, Nadir Shiko tries aiming with his assault rifle at Yang before a sudden burst of frosty blue explodes behind him and leaves the whimpering gunner in a block of ice up to his thighs.
Ruby looks up from her sniper scope "Got your back!".
"But who's got yours?" A boy name Bolin said behind her.
He twirls his staff, right when a black snowflake glyph appears to his left and Weiss kicks him through it into a rock.
"My BFF!" Ruby said.
Weiss deadpan "No" Then runs off.
Ruby pumps her fist, while whispering to herself "Yes".
Bolin crouches with his weapon as he sees a white glyph appear in front of him. A second later, Weiss dashes by and slashes at him, then leaps up and attempts an aerial attack, which he's able to block. She readies her sword while preparing a glyph behind her, and Ruby uses it to launch herself straight up and come down spinning on Bolin, who manages to block the curved blade. Ruby grimaces and blasts herself away to Weiss' side, and Bolin rushes at them, rolling away from the shards of ice that rain on him and jumping over Ruby's swing as he continues running.
"Whaaat!?" Ruby said.
Bolin manages to reach an orange crystal deposit and slice off a shard, which he throws to Reese over in the icy half of the stadium. With Dust in hand, Reese fuses it with her board, turning the aqua lights to a crimson shade. She winks at Blake, then uses the board's heat to free Nadir from his icy snare.
She comes back to Blake and slams her board into her enemy's blade, but propels herself backwards and knocks Blake through a frozen pillar. Reese attempts to use her board to slam her foe into the ground, but when she dodges that, she spins around in a flaming arc that Blake narrowly misses thanks to her shadows. Changing tactics, Blake launches the pistol part of Gambol Shroud at a nearby glacier and launches herself behind it, as Reese follows her and sees Blake with her back turned to her under an arch. Reese grins before riding in to deliver a flaming spiral at the shadow clone, only to see the ribbon Blake is launching to trap her opponent a moment too late. She pulls tightly and causes Reese to slam body-first into the string, only to use a final kick to knock her out of the stage. Reese crashes into the wall of the stands before landing on the ground, defeated.
"Ooh, a double whammy! Reese Chloris is eliminated by ringout and Aura level!" Port said.
"Oh, she really should've worn a helmet!" Oobleck added.
Back in the fight, Arslan uses her rope to swing around and avoid Yang right behind her, using shotgun blasts to propel herself forward. Nadir comes into the picture, aiming his rifle at Weiss as she summons another glyph and launches Bolin at him. The two teammates are helpless as Weiss creates a whirlwind from underneath them and slamming the two together until she forms a giant ice fist straight up from the ground to trap the two. It reforms itself into a ball that rolls around the field, and when Arslan sees her team in this state, she rolls her eyes, annoyed, before changing direction and sliding into the path of the ball. She readies her stance and drives her hand into the sphere, which cracks under her power and frees her allies.
"Laura, Yang" Weiss shouts as she creates a large frozen slide-like shape "NOW!".
Knowing what to do, Yang grabs Laura and throws her forward and makes her skims over the wall of ice, catching Blake's pistol as Blake swings Laura around then Yang uses her strength combined with her shotgun blast to send her girlfriend flying forward.
"FALCON KICK" Laura shouts as she flies forward with her leg out.
Team ABRN has only a moment to stare in horror as Laura delivers a devastating kick that sends the trio flying into their elimination.
"OH YEAH" Laura shouts as her teammates cheers at her.
"And that's the match! Team RWBLY is victorious!" Port announced.
Weiss looking around and sounding surprised "We... did it?".
Ruby lookes at her sister for confirmation, she smiles and leaps into the air, screaming WE DID IIIIII-...is anyone else starving?" They were now back at the Vytal Festival fairgrounds.
"I may have worked up an appetite" Blake said until the growling of an angry beast from her stomach proves her statement , much to its owner embarrassment.
"Wow Blake! Are you cat or a lion?" Laura asked.
Weiss sarcastically shrugged her arms "Gee, if only there was somewhere on campus to get food around here. Oh, wait".
Ruby places a hand on Weiss' shoulder "It's okay, Weiss, I forget about the fairgrounds, too".
Weiss knocks Ruby's arm away "I was being facetious?".
Ruby freaks out "Gah! Well if you were hungry, why didn't you say so!?".
"Come on! I know just the place" Yang said.
Team RWBLY starts to follow Yang, but Weiss suddenly stops as she hears a ringtone on her Scroll. Pulling it out, she sees the caller ID labeled "FATHER", and glares at the device, putting it back from where she got it, unanswered.
"Hey! Might be hard to eat without this" Came an familiar voice behind them. They turned and saw Emerald, holding a red wallet filled with Lien.
Ruby frantically pat around her outfit, panicking "No, no, no, no!".
Emerald laughs "Good to see you, Ruby".
Ruby takes the wallet back from her "friend" and puts it away "Oh! Thanks, Emerald! Oh. Guess I dropped it. Girl pockets are the worst!".
"What's up, Em?" Yang asked.
"Just left the stadium after your amazing fight! You guys were awesome!" Emerald said.
"Oh, shut your stupid little face..." Ruby goes in to an incoherent gushing.
"I heard your team progressed to the next round too" Blake said.
Weiss suddenly thought of something "You know, I feel that we haven't seen your other teammates".
"How'd they do in the fight?" Yang asked.
Emerald tilts her head up in thought "Really well".
"That's great. Uh. Why don't we all go and get a victory food together" Ruby offered.
Laura flinched. She really didn't feel like meeting Cinder again.
"Oh, gosh, that's so nice of you, but my teammates are all kind of..." Emerald looks back at Mercury as he sniffs the inside of a boot, looking perplexed after he does so "...introverted. Really socially awkward".
Yang nods "Ooh, yeah, I could see that".
"Oh yeah, looks like Merc and I are going to move on to the doubles round. What about you guys?" Emerald asked.
Ruby looks pretty proud of herself as she says "Well, as the leader of this team, I thought long and hard about this decision".
Weiss popps in to remind her, straight-faced "We put it to a vote".
Ruby nervously tries to backtrack "Yes, so, but I decided that we should put it to a vote".
"We voted for Weiss and Laura" Blake said.
"I will happily represent Team RWBLY" Weiss said in curtsy.
"There is no way we will lose" Laura declared.
Emerald laughs "Well, if Mercury and I see you down the line, don't think we'll go easy on ya".
Yang and Weiss return Emerald's confident smirk with their own "Wouldn't have it any other way".
Emerald turns and walks away from them as they do the same "Alright, well we're going to catch some more fights".
Ruby waves her arm "Have fun!".
Emerald cheerfully givs her own wave "See you later!".
At one of the unassuming huts set up in the fairgrounds stringed with paper lanterns with a sign overhead saying A Simple Wok, Team RWBLY sits at the stools outside, ready to order.
"I'll have a bowl of the regular, please" Yang said then a large bowl of noodles slides in front of her.
Ruby stares at Yang's meal "Oohhh... I'll take the same" A large bowl of noodles slides in front of her, as she clasps her hands in excitement.
"Do you have one with a little spice?" Laura asked, then a bowl with some spice on it slides in front of her.
"Do you have anything with a low-salt ...?" Weiss asked before a large bowl of regular noodles instantly slides in front of her instead "Um... okay...".
Instead of saying anything, Blake merely gives a nod and smile to the Shopkeep, who returns the gesture as he rushes through one door of his shop and comes out the other to leave a large bowl of noodles topped with fish in front of her. Blake's eyes light up as she drools over her order. While Weiss looks strangely at her teammate, she gladly offers her Schnee Dust Company credit card to the Shopkeeper.
"Aw, Weiss! What's the occasion!?" Yang asked.
"Consider it thanks for sending me to the doubles round" Weiss said, but her joy is ruined when the card is flung back at her, and the annoyed Shopkeep points to his register as it beeps "DECLINED" "What?! How can my card be declined? I was barely into my monthly allowance!".
Blake looked around i panick, she attempts to slowly slide her bowl closer to herself before the Shopkeep disappears with her food, causing the poor girl to slump over in defeat "Nooo!".
"Maybe I could help?" The girls look up to see Team JNPR approach the stand.
Ruby flings her arms wide in delight "Pyrrha!".
"Aw, you don't have to..." Yang began.
"But she could!" Blake said quickly.
"Well, I think you all earned it after that battle" Pyrrha said with a smile.
"Mind if we join you?" Jaune asked.
They began to eat. Then Yang got an idea and smirked.
"Hey Laura!" Laura looked at her, her mouth full of noodles, one still hanging out her mouth only for Yang to snap a picture of her "This is so going to be my new backround!" Yang said as she looked at the goofy picture.
Laura quickly swallowed her food and glared at her "Yang!".
"I love you" Yang said quickly, making Laura blush "Never fails".
"You are so sleeping on the floor tonight" Laura declared.
"What? Come on" Yang whined.
Soon they finished their meals and talked for a bit before Team JNPR went to their own match, while Team RWBLY went to the seats to watch.
This is gonna be good.
Yang leans closer to Laura and whispered "Were you serious before?".
Laura sighed "We'll see if I still remember it".
Yang smiled and kissed Laura on the cheek, causing her girlfriend to blush and Ruby to squeal at the cuteness.
Then the match began.

Well here it is!
Volume 3!
Alot of things are on their way.
