This Will Be the Day

Recommended B.G. Music-This Will Be the Day, by Jess and Casey Lee Williams

I came into a chamber of some kind. It looked very weird. It was mix of dark and light colors, spiraling around the walls, all the way up the ceiling, and down to the floor.

"Is this my mind?" I asked.

"Actually, it is your heart." A male, sinister voice stated. I looked and saw dark speckles clustering together and formed into a dark armored figure.

"Black Knight!" I exclaimed.

"Ellix Knight…why are you here?" He asked. "You should be moaning in the deep abyss of darkness."

"Well…that…that does not matter anymore!" I said. "I am here to stop you and take back my body, soul, and mind!"

Black Knight just snickered and grinned evilly. "You think you can defeat me?"

"I…I am not sure." I looked down with my eyes closed. "But!" I looked up with my eyes opened with determination. "I will stop you, no matter what! I will fight until I defeat you, once and for all! Even if it takes me a day!"

"Hmph! Foolish host! You are me. If you defeat me, it is also mean you will kill yourself. You will also lose all of the precious memories and friends you made in this world. Are you risking all of that aside in order to stop me?"

I nodded and grinned in return. "If it is to protect my friends and their world, I don't mind." I had my arm out when dark aura enveloped it, summoning the gauntlet with its sword out.

"Ho! I see…it looks I will have to send you even deeper into the darkness." Black Knight said, getting his sword out. We charged forward as our sword collided.

Meanwhile, Ruby did the same against Black Knight in the reality. Black Knight teleported from her to a distant spot, and began shooting at her with his gauntlets in gun mode. Ruby, using her Semblance, dodged every shot and countered it with her bullet shots. Black Knight dodged the shots as well before their weapon collided. They slashed their weapon at each other, but they were very equally in match.

"This brings so much memory! You fight very similarly like my old friend long ago!" Black Knight smirked.

"Really? I am guessing he or she is the one who kicked your butt, right?" Ruby said jokingly, causing him to grit his mouth in anger.

"Silence, you fool!" Black Knight released a wave of dark energy, slashing it out from his sword. Ruby twirled around her scythe to block the attack.

Back to my fight, I fought very hardly against him. Even though I was at disadvantage, the training I received while at Beacon Academy managed to help me to keep up with Black Knight...somewhat.

"Yaaaaah!" I yelled.

"Rraaaah!" Black Knight roared back before we slashed our sword at each other. Our sword touched as we continued to do so.

"What's wrong, Black Knight? You are strong and tough to hit, I will give you that, but to me, you are like slowing down a bit!" I said.

"Silence, host! Who asks your critic on me!?" Black Knight argued before he launched for another attack.

I transformed my gauntlet into its punching form, and punched at him, but he dodged quickly and slashed me behind.

"Gah!"

I walked like I was a drunk man, but regain my balance and fought back.

"Heeyaahh!" Ruby screamed, unleashing a wave of red aura beam from her swing with the Crescent Rose at Black Knight. Black Knight blocked it with force shield, but each hit his shield received, crack was developed on it. She released a stronger, bigger wave at him, managing to crack his shield completely as the wave continued to push him forward.

"Raaaawwrr!" Black Knight roared, causing the wave of red aura energy to disappear. His armor was cracking up. His aura restored the cracks immediately, but his armor received more cracks when Ruby charged forward him. She crashed him on the ground with her scythe pushing him on the ground. Black Knight summoned his wings made of pure black aura. He began flying forward as he grabbed on her scythe. They flew forward into the sky. Then, he flew downward as they were heading down until they crashed.

BOOM!

The impact severely damaged them. Black Knight got up as he panted heavily. Ruby got up shortly with blood dripping down on the side of her face. However, the red fiery aura was still emanating from her. Her aura soon healed up all the wounds she received, faster than Black Knight's recovery.

"Curses!" Black Knight growled. "How you can be this equally powerful as I am!?"

Ruby just giggled to herself. "I don't know. I guess I have a good blood running through me. My mom was a Huntress. My dad is a Huntsman. I guess it is just run in the family."

"Of course. You are his descendant." Black Knight said before he rushed in anger. "It sicken me to the core!"

"You've been saying that a lot. I really have no idea what you are talking about, but it does not matter. I will defeat you, Black Knight. Not because it is for revenge for...hurting my teammates, my sister Yang, but it is to save my most closest friend!"

Meanwhile, Black Knight jumped forward with an attack, but at the same time, Ruby and I dodged to the side. Black Knight turned around as he knew what we were doing, but we dodged away, and strike back with our respective weapon.

"Grgh!" He gritted in pain. "Just…a lucky hit!" He countered with his sword, but she and I dodged away and slashed back. Black Knight's fighting was getting somewhat sloppy, so we kept our rhythm, striking him back as he get weaker and weaker.

"Why!? Why!? Why am I losing to you both!? I can predict and see every of your move, and yet I am getting hit more than I should!" Black Knight roared angrily.

I smirked at him. "Well, Black Knight, you may be a powerful Huntsman, but there is something even more powerful than darkness or anything in the world."

"What would that be!? Enlighten me!"

"It is something that you used to hold dearly." Ruby said.

"And, it is something that goes beyond darkness and light." I added.

Black Knight gritted his teeth.

"That is…" We said in unison as we rushed forward and then jumped into the air with our weapon out and ready. "We are not alone! We have friends on our side!"

My body enveloped a glowing lighter shade of dark aura as Ruby's red aura became fierier. Black Knight used his gauntlet to shoot bullets rapidly at us, but our aura protected us.

"This will be…" Ruby said as she jumped high into the air with her weapon.

"The day…" I said as I did the same like Ruby.

"You END!" We both said at the same time as we slashed Black Knight in half.

"Gah! Aaaaaaaahahhh!" Black Knight screamed. My sword caused his body to crack as light pierced through his body before he exploded in flash of light. Meanwhile, Black Knight's armor shattered completely, releasing me out of his armor.

Ruby's aura settled down until it completely dissipated.

"Ellix?" She asked softly.

I looked at her with a dull eye as I pulled myself to smile. "Ruby…Thank you."

I fell and fainted. "Ellix!" She yelled until the floor below her collapsed. She looked down noticing the floor was gone as she, our teammates, and I fell into the abyss.

"Kyaaaaaaahhh!" She screamed. Suddenly, the whole castle began to collapse itself. One of the Grimm looked up at the shattering castle. It roared as it ran away, along with other Grimm. The entire land began to crack up as earthquake occurred.

"What is going on!?" Jaune exclaimed.

"Jaune!" Pyrrha yelled.

Father Shadow panted as he fell on his knees, feeling tired as he panted from the fighting. Raven held her sword at him in front of his masked face. Suddenly, the floor began to crack as light shined through the cracks.

"What the!?" Qrow exclaimed as the light enveloped them.
