Prompt: Let's just all pretend we're in the middle of a reaction fic shall we?
"Hm…no, not that one…not that one either… ah-ha!" D.W (Short for Dimensional Watcher, and called as Dewey) exclaimed as he found the next film from the box of dimensions.
The viewers just went back from taking a break at watching the previous reality and now they are back for more.
As the audience went to their respective areas of seating, some of them talked about the previous reality.
"So… foot fetish, huh?" Yang grinned then ducked as Blake threw a book at her.
"Oh geez…" Ruby muttered to herself as she put a hand over her face in embarrassment. Can her sister not embarrass or second-hand embarrass her for one minute?
"It's a different reality!" Blake screeched. Why did that reality have her as such a horny girl?! Gods, she is so not reading smut for a few days if that's what'll happen to her.
But maybe a few books will do…?
"It's similar enough," Weiss stepped away from her, a little disgusted. The fact that in the last viewing also had Blake trying to convince Weiss to join the so-called dark side added to the fact that she should be staying away from her for the time being.
Blake just flushed and tried to hide behind her dad, Ghira Belladonna.
"Oh c'mon, Blake, it's not that bad, you don't have to be that embarrassed about it!" Blake's mom, Kali Belladonna patted her on the head.
"I don't have a foot fetish!"
Before the conversation could continue, D.W arrived.
"Alright, let's get back to the viewing."
The battlefield was, to put it simply, destroyed.
The ground was filled with craters, debris from the destroyed earth, laying on the ground. Smoke was everywhere, covering the area so that you couldn't see much.
"What happened?" the audience questioned. The good guys were worried about what happened here and if there were civilians that were injured, while the bad guys were contemplating on who they fought and if they won.
Suddenly, a white figure wielding a sword was seen coming out of the smoke to attack a black figure. The black one flipped back and took out a gun to shoot. However, the one in white intercepted the bullet and slashed it in half.
The white one was a girl with white hair. She was wearing a white uniform with a white hooded cloak, a thigh-length trench coat, knee-high boots, a miniskirt, and black stockings with red trim on the gloves and boots. She was also wearing a snowflake crest on a belt buckle and a white cap with gold trimmings, which features a black peak and a Schnee symbol emblazoned on its front. (1)
Her weapon is a two-handed sword with a double-edged blade, indicating it to be a claymore. On her hips is a strap for a submachine gun.
"Woah, who's that?" Neptune asked. Clearly, he saw her as dangerous and most will likely hurt and dominate him, which just added to the hotness.
Some members of the audience had a suspicion of who it was, but are not sure yet.
The black figure was a girl with twin-tail-styled hair. She was wearing a long-sleeved jacket and boots, as well as a pair of black denim shorts. Under her jacket is a dark shirt. She wears a belt with a rose crest. (2)
Ruby blushed at the clothing while Yang whistled. "Dang, that girl clearly wears what she wants."
Her weapon of choice was a pistol with a large barrel, likely a hand cannon.
"You're really good at running," said the white figure with a melodic voice.
"Not my fault you can't hit me," the other one taunted.
Their voices identified the ones that weren't familiar to the audience, revealing them to be Weiss and Ruby.
"Wait, that's…me?" Ruby looked at the screen. She focused on her appearance and while she wasn't exactly a fan of the revealing outfit, she looked… confident and sure of herself. Something she could really use right now.
"Wait, what? Ruby, you wear something like that?" Tai questioned.
"Huh?! Dad, no! I don't!" the silver-eyed girl squeaked in embarrassment, flushing red.
The Xiao Long father sagged with relief. "Good, you shouldn't be wearing those kinds of dresses."
Weiss and Winter couldn't believe what they were seeing. From what the Weiss on the screen was wearing, she seemed to have a military background. However, there's no indication as to what rank she has. And Ironwood thought the same.
"I wonder why they're fighting?" Jaune mused.
"Ooh! I bet they're childhood friends who both had terrible pasts and while one learned from it and thrived, the other wanted to seek revenge and so years later they met up and are having their final battle!" Nora shouted.
"That's… oddly specific, Nora," Pyrrha helped Ren placate Nora.
In the middle of their conversation, another voice from a mic shouted.
"And another wonderful dodge from Ruby!" Port shouted from the sidelines. The audience cheered from their seats in the stadium.
"Oh, so it was just a tournament match," Ruby sighed in relief.
"Wait, it's a tournament match!"
"Is it the Vytal Festival over there?" Yang asked.
"Perhaps," Weiss sat straighter and focused on the fight, analyzing it.
Weiss then sprinted to Ruby with her claymore, different colored glyphs floating around her. She performed a series of slashes and strikes, all of which are being dodged at and parried by Ruby's gun.
The Rose then pressed a button on her gun, lighting it up. She then aimed it at Weiss and fired a laser. Weiss, seeing this, widened her eyes as she did something with her hand and a giant glyph was summoned in front of her.
As the projectile made an impact, an explosion occurred and smoke interrupted the vision from the watchers.
"A DIRECT HIT FROM MISS ROSE! HAS MISS SCHNEE'S WIN STREAK COME TO AN END?!" unexpectedly a loud voice that came from Oobleck led the cheer that followed.
The audience was surprised.
Ruby was drooling over her counterpart's gun. "Oh my gosh~~! What is that? Can I see how it's made D.W? CanIcanIcanI?!" She rushed over to D.W. who was struggling to keep Ruby away from him.
Weiss frowned in dissatisfaction at her getting hit. Winter looked in disappointment at the apparent loss of a streak.
"Tch," Ruby clicked her tongue.
"Why did she click her tongue?" Nora tried to replicate it but can't seem to do it.
As the smoke fades, Weiss was revealed to have no damage done to her.
"It appears that—" Port tried to announce but-
"AND NO DAMAGE! NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER!" Oobleck shoved Port out of the way to shout into the mic, leading to a lot of shouts and cheers in the stadium.
"What?! How!" Nora questioned. Some of the students including Weiss herself were also confused, but a few along with many of the adults saw what Weiss did.
"She summoned a block of ice to mitigate the projectile, didn't she? Looks like the girl has some tricks up her sleeve after all," Raven nodded in satisfaction.
"They both trained really hard this month, didn't they?" Yang said from the seats. She was leaning back and having a relaxed and proud smile on her face.
"Uh-huh," Blake nodded in agreement while eating fishes on a stick.
"Hey, it looks like the match is about to end!" Yang said in excitement.
Blake raised an eyebrow. "…and how would you know that?"
"I just do!"
As Yang had said, the fight was about to end soon. While the two fighters seemed casual as they talked during the match, both of them have been fighting for a few minutes now. Pain from the bruising that they have ignored decided that it can't be ignored anymore. Ruby was running with a limp while Weiss was panting heavily from exhaustion.
"They're both tired," Pyrrha pointed out.
"They look dead," Blake retorted dryly.
Sweat ran down on both of their faces, adrenaline on their bodies fading. Just as Ruby was about to take another deep breath, Weiss struck.
The heiress screamed as she buried her claymore -surrounded by Schnee glyphs- into the ground, releasing a large amount of aura.
She glowed and glowed and glowed, blinding and stunning the audience and Ruby herself in silence.
"So bright!" Jaune covered his eyes along with everyone else in the theatre.
"What is she doing?" Winter wondered. She had never seen those glyphs before. The other member of the Schnee family questioned as well, is she able to do this someday, with enough training? And the Yang on the screen stated that it took one month for her, so is it even possible?
In the V.I.P. section of the seats, her family watched.
Jacques watched in satisfaction. He had won another bet, which would mean more winnings to him. He could also brag off to that prick Marigold. He'd been getting more arrogant lately, biting off more than he can chew. This third loss of a bet should put him in his place.
Willow looked worried. While she definitely wasn't the best mother, she still has the right to worry for her child, especially with the way she pushed herself the past month.
Whitley looked in indifference. He doesn't really care about any of this, and whether who wins or loses the tournament has no effect on his life whatsoever.
However, Winter though…
"She's summoning? I've never seen those glyphs before though," she murmured to herself. She had read most, if not all of the records and books pertaining to the family semblance, and yet she had never seen something like that, which could mean two things; one is that there was a secret technique that her sister found and decided to keep it that way, secret. The other one though sent chills down her spine. The other one is that she came up with this herself.
As the light died out, Weiss reappeared. She seemed to have no changes in her appearance whatsoever…
…apart from the three figures surrounding her.
The first one was a woman wearing knightly armor, a blue skirt, and black boots. Her weapon was a simple sword with winged shape cross guards. (3)
The second figure was wearing a black, military-style outfit with gold details. His weapon was a levitating Morningstar. (4)
The third and final figure was not a humanoid one. It was a pure white horse, with massive white wings. (5)
The audience in the seats was shocked.
The same thing went for the audience in the theater.
"OhmygoshWeissyoucoulddothat?! Showmeshowmeshowme!" Ruby gushed and immediately went over to Weiss, Nora following her. They circled her and kept pestering her about whether or not she can do that.
Weiss would have been annoyed at this if not for the fact that she too, was too stunned to speak.
Winter looked at the summons and her eyes widened a bit. "Those aren't just regular summons that I do… they have color!"
The ones who heard her looked to the screen and indeed, they did have color.
The students were all stunned to see something like this happening. The adults were intrigued by Weiss' power, and Weiss herself…
"I… can do that?" she whispered to herself in awe.
Weiss jumped atop the Pegasus as it crooned at her. She smiled and petted it. "Hello, Stardust."
Weiss gave out a silent gasp as she recognized the name. Stardust, that's the tricycle my grandmother gave me. She then grew a soft smile on her face.
Ren and Nora though, tensed a bit. Ever since that event, they developed a bit of equinophobia.
She then looked at the two summons by her side. "Scarlet, Art." She spoke with a booming voice. "Attack Ruby and end this match."
The two figures seemed to nod and disappeared from where they were standing.
Ruby immediately looked up and jumped to the site. As she was in mid-air, she twisted her body so that she aimed her gun behind her and summoned another pistol to aim at her sides. What she predicted was true as her enemies appeared from the respective areas. She pulled the trigger but alas, she was still damaged and was sent flying.
"Nice one Ruby!" Yang cheered for her sister but flinched when she got hit. "Ooh, I felt that one."
She closed her eyes in pain and as soon as she was feeling the fall, she opened her eyes… just in time to see a white dot fast approaching, feathers trailing behind it. Weiss gripped her weapon for a strike, her sword becoming bigger as glyphs effects are being rapid fired into it.
"Woah, she looks like a shooting star," Penny watched in amazement as she saw the dot. It looked like the twinkling stars she saw when she looked up at the skies.
"This is the end, Ruby!" Weiss shouted as Ruby's eyes widened.
Aww, cookies—That was the last thing on Ruby's head before an explosion happened in the area. Smoke covered the two girls' vicinity making the audience blind to what was happening.
"AN EXPLOSION! Where could the contestants be? Has Ruby found a way to avoid this or is this her end?! This reminds me of that time when I fought a group of demolition experts!" Port finally got the first shout, beating Oobleck to the count.
"Their dynamic changed until that last part, didn't they?" Glynda deadpanned while Qrow snickered.
"It appears that they know how to have fun in almost every situation possible," Ozpin watched in amusement.
A dot fell from the smoke, falling to the ground. Another dot – which was white – glided through the air and caught them, landing them to the earth.
"Thank you, Stardust. You may go," Weiss petted the pegasus' head as it disappeared into specks of dust, indicating the summon was over.
"And there we have it, folks! Match over! The one who will be going through the semi-finals will be Weiss Schnee!" Port yelled through the microphone, his announcement being drowned by the loud cheers of the audience.
While the screen was dimming, the cheers can still be heard as Weiss walked out of the arena, until the shouts became silent.
