So I don't usually get too motivated easily as of recently but after a certain someone commented on my last chapter I actually feel motivated to keep this up. So I'm gonna keep writing this one and keep going for the same reason Gus would go to Mars. Out of spite mother fuckers. Honestly I do half the stuff I do, out of spite so this really isn't a new concept to me. So let's get to.

[JNPR vs. BRNZ]

"3... 2... 1!" Port counted down as the match finally begun.

Jaune began moving forward with his team, "Come on guys!"

"Annnd... fight!" Boomstick concluded as the two teams engaged in combat.

Thunder boomed above all over their heads as small dark clouds formed, covering the entire arena airspace. Rain poured down in fat drops that drenched everyone of the competitors in seconds. The floor arena became more slippery, their clothes became heavier and their bodies colder. This was the extra random variable that was thrown into the fight.

Wiz happily explained why the rain was added, "As we all know sometimes certain conditions can change a battle and it's outcome. Weather plays an important condition in fights. Snow makes the ground sinkable, sunny conditions can make you overheated rain is the worst one you could get."

"Let's see how they all fair." Doctor Oobleck agreed.

Three of the members from BRNZ charged team JNPR: Brawnz Ni, Roy Stallion and Nolan Porfirio, while May Zedong went the other direction. Specifically, the tree line, which had the most cover.

The leader Brawnz immediately went to face off against Pyrrha, best against best as he tried striking her with his wrist blades. The gladiator managed to fend off the bladed brawler just in time to notice May in the distance suddenly vanish in the trees.

Ren and Nora decided to double team Nolan together as he dodged a sweep attack from Ren. Backing right into a open position right into Nora's swinging area, lucky he was able to duck under that attack as well.

May finished setting up her position as she finally fired a round, right over Ren's head. The bullet was strong enough to shatter a rock that was behind Ren.

Jaune had just finished blocking all of Roy's spinning attacks just in time to be shot at by the sniper. Only able to see the glint of her scope, just barely from the thick cover the multiple layers of leaves had provided her. Knowing Pyrrha would be too preoccupied, his lack of ranged attacks and Nora, nor Ren could stop reach the shooter he had one plan, "Retreat!"

On command his team wasted no time in backing up as Nora and Ren began retreating behind the two shield carrying team members. The only good cover they had were a line of rocks that were too thick for May's rifle to penetrate.

Pyrrha looked to her leader for some form of command, "What do we do?"

Jaune thought quick as the three brawlers began to rush his position, because he needed to, "Spread out, try to keep moving." Jaune ordered as he blocked an incoming overhead strike from Brawnz. Meanwhile May took another moment to line up another shot at team JNPR.

As Brawnz went back to fighting Pyrrha, Ren prepared to go toe to toe with Nolan. But Nolan had set him up for a trap. With a nod, May fired rounds in Ren's direction, doing a horizontal backflip Ren dodged the bullets right into Nolan's path. With a swing of his baton he bonked Ren in the side of his head, then took advantage of a now stunned ninja. Ren threw a roundhouse kick but missed as Nolan struck his leg and then finally jabbed Ren in the ribs with a taser strike. A cooked Ren fell back and had Nora infuriated at his attacker.

"Ren!" Nora shouted before she went in for a hammer swing but didn't connect with it. Nolan took the missed opportunity and attacked Nora with the same taser jab.

Only to fuel her up, "Ho oh, looks like one of my favorite students Miss Valkyrie is charging up to use her semblance."

"What?" Nolan asked still shocking Nora.

Doctor Oobleck chimed in, "Yes, Miss Valkyrie's semblance let's her to produce as well as channel electrical energy straight into her muscles. This allows her to jump explosively through the air, wield her mighty hammer or in this case absorb Nolan's attacks and send the young man flying."

"What?!" Nolan added again realizing the dangerous situation he found himself in.

Nolan actually witnessed Nora's muscle grow for a moment, which terrified the young man as he started to back away. But in a quick flash Nora did send the young man flying into a boulder, cracking it like an egg.

A brief roar of thunder made Jaune turn his head to the mountainous range behind him. He was in no way a brilliant leader, but he was quick, creative and in this case one of the best strategist. Jaune began to give call outs, "Nora get to the mountain."

"Ren try to distract the sniper." Jaune told his team's ninja.

The sniper round that was too close to comfort didn't make him feel better about the plan, "Sure, why not."

Jaune and Pyrrha ran side by side into battle against the relentless team BRNZ. Launching his wrist blades at Jaune, Roy hit both shots at Jaune's shield making Jaune's face connect with his shield. The blades came back to Roy as he continued to attack Pyrrha.

After a quick recovery Jaune had shook his head to regain focus and charge back into the fray. This riled up his friends spectating the fight.

"Come on Jaune, you got this bro." Tucker shouted.

Emerald smiled at Jaune's work, "He's really improved a lot hasn't he."

"Yeah, but he ain't got nothing on Pyrrha." Yang countered.

Church nodded, "True but he is still an amateur in an amateur is actually very dangerous in a fight against. A professional will do things by the book an amateur will do things by instinct. He's unpredictable, he's creative, he's Jaune."

At the same time he was complimenting Jaune Pyrrha was handling both Brawnz and Roy at the exact moment. Swiftly alternating between attacks going back and forth and knocking them back with well timed counters.

"Then again... Pyrrha is Pyrrha." Church admitted.

May took aim at Ren, who was charging straight at her, dodging her bullets and ducking under Pyrrha to get close to May. As he kept May under suppressed fire, Ren went for a rematch with Nolan. Nolan swung his baton back and forth but was blocked by Ren's pistol blades receiving two kicks, one to each of his side, curtosy of said ninja. Ren was able to get a reversal and put Nolan in a lock with his own baton.

May saw no clear shot on Ren and instead decided to shift her target to someone else, Nora to be precise.

"Nora!!" Ren struggled to call out.

The fearless leader of JNPR called out to the warrior fighter of JNPR, "Pyrrha, up!"

Pyrrha sprinted as fast as she could've sliding under Roy's blades and leaping over Brawnz, just to arrive at Jaune's shield and jump into the air. May fired but only managed to hit Pyrrha's shots in the air.

At the top of the mountain, Nora raised her hammer to the sky as lighting had struck it, empowering the two together. After Nora felt charged she had flipped her weapon to gun mode and sent all six grenades soaring to May, who was unprepared for such an attack. In a quick flash May had escaped into the next tree, unfortunately the smoke from the crater had formed a smoke screen that cleared may from the treeline. While the rest of team BRNZ was distracted, that left them unaware of Nora's flying airborn attack as she came in and slammed her hammer down in front of them, knocking them all back.

Jaune gave out his final order, "This is it guys, let's finish this with team attacks! Ren! Nora! Flower Power!"

"Wait, what?" Nora questioned.

"Fl-Flower Power?" Jaune repeated, getting no other response than confused looks, "That's your team attack name."

"Since when?" Ren wondered.

"Guys we went over this. Flower Power is Ren and Nora." Jaune explained, "Ren brings the Flower, Nora brings the Power!"

"How do I bring a Flower?" Ren wondered.

"No silly not a flower, flour as in baking." Nora elaborated for Ren.

"Why would I bring that?"

"I...uh no... it's your symbol." Jaune interrupted.

Pyrrha added more to the confusion, "So... what are we?"

"Pyrrha!"

"Sorry I just wanted to make sure it's clearly defined."

"Pyrrha, you and I are Arkos, remember? It's that thing, where we take our shields?" Jaune reviewed there fighting moves.

"Arkos?"

"Yeah it's our names put together."

"Right... no... I get it."

"What? Do you not like it?"

"No, no, it's just... good?"

"Ooooh, I sense hesitation..." Nora chimed in with Jaune and Pyrrha.

The leader of BRNZ, Brawnz, shouted out to team JNPR to get their attention, "Hey!!!" He yelled earning the focus of team JNPR, "What do you think you're doing?"

"Trying to have a team meeting, thank you very little." Jaune called back to him.

Nora joined her leader, "Yeah, team ears only."

Brawnz and his team grew a hell of a lot more impatient at team JNPR's ignorance to the current situation, "We're in the middle of a fight!"

"AND WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION! WHAT DON'T YOU GET ABOUT THAT?!" Jaune screamed back at him.

Pyrrha tapped an angry Jaune on the shoulder, reminding him what Brawnz had meant, "Um, Jaune?"

"Yes Pyrrha?"

"I think he means that we're all in the middle of a fight." Pyrrha reasoned out with Jaune as the crowds roar brought everyone back down to Remnant.

Jaune facepalm in his own defeat and let his tired feeling take over, "Nora, just... just hit them with the hammer."

"Got it." A way too eager Nora agreed with her order.

"Wait, what?" Brawnz said realizing the error of his ways.

With a quick leap and a dash of pink Nora had appeared in front of them with her hammer already wound up. A mighty swing had impacted all of JNPR's enemies in a second, sending them all out of bounds. As they faceplanted into the side of the arena the winner was decided.

"AND WITH THAT TEAM JNPR WINS BY KNOCKOUT... LITERALLY!" Professor Port announced, "Can someone go make sure they're okay?"

[Elsewhere in Vale]

At an old pub in the middle of the port, called Captain's daughter a gruff looking men stayed still watching the matches, while singing and chanting to old sea shanties from the sailors. The current song was, Whup Jamboree, sung by a few drunks who enjoyed their time away from the ocean. This particular rough man saw the last match showing Team JNPR triumph over Team BRNZ.

"Those kids were pretty good..." the bartender pointed out, seeing their victory and who was next, Team DRFL vs TEAM LDMR (Landmark)

[End of Chapter]

I know it has been wayyy too long... but a good amount has happened. Personal family issues. And forth... one of which being a certain parental figure complaining I don't get paid for this. (Not asking for money) No... No... No one gets paid here, I am no different. I also have a deadline for what I am going to do for the future.

{I have hinted at my future career somewhere in this chapter, find the clues and decipher what it means. Actually there is only 2 clues here.}
