Torvi and Cardin charge each other. Cardin goes for a horizontal swing aimed at the shaman's head, but the girl acted quick and swift as before he even threw the attack, she slid between his legs and swiped her dagger behind his left knee, forcing him to bend down in pain. Torvi did not stop there. She got up and pounced on his back and started to stab into him causing his large aura to trickle down with each stab. The leader of team CRDL stumbles about as he tries to shake the shaman off him.
"She's quite swift" noted Ozpin.
"She's wild and unfocused" Glynda noted after.
Cardin, having enough of being stabbed in the back, literally, he reaches behind him and grabs Torvi by her head. She yells in pain as her head was caught in a powerful grip and before she knew it, she was tossed up in the air and like a baseball, Cardin hit her with his mace, sending her towards a wall.
Team RWBY and JNPR were above her. They leaned over the railing and looked down at her.
"Get up girl! Don't let that jerk win!" yelled Yang.
"Yeah! What she said!" said the leader of team RWBY.
"Ren!" Nora said while pulling on the quiet man's sleeve. "Did you see her?! She is SO crazy! I want to match up with her! She looks fun!"
"Her fighting is certainly crazy. Sure you can handle her?" Ren said to Nora.
"I have no idea! But that's the fun part!"
Torvi shakes her head to get rid of the stars in her vision before getting up.
Did you see that?! He just manhandled us!
We saw. That mace has weight behind it though.
Yeah. What do we do?
Maybe we should-
CHARGE!
Torvi charges head on again, running towards the massive teen who just smirks as he walks to her. That smirk goes away as the shaman pounces up in the air raising her hatchet high before letting it fall towards Cardin. He blocks the attack with the shaft of his mace a millisecond before it could touch his body. Seeing her attack follow through, Torvi stabs into Cardin's chest after she lands on the ground. Cardin winces as he steps back from the girl but that proved to work against the boy as the extra space allowed Torvi to plant her foot against his stomach and after fueling it with aura, she pushed him hard enough to land on his back. She then pounces on top of him to then bite his neck, to the surprise of everyone present.
"What on Remnant is she doing?!" said a shocked Weiss.
"Biting apparently" said the faunus of team RWBY. Even though she sound, for the most part, calm, she was still shocked at what the shaman was doing. Even more to see that it was working as Cardin's aura was draining.
Said boy was struggling to get the girl off him. He was trying to push her off but her grip was strong and hard to shrug off.
The area Torvi was biting was radiating gray as Torvi continued to force her teeth through the strong shield. The girl was getting frustrated as she wasn't drawing blood and eventually jumped off the armored boy and backed off while he got back up. She didn't look but on the screen showed their auras.
Torvi had 95% of her aura while Cardin had 50%.
Cardin was furious. "You fucking retard! You're gonna pay!"
"Mister Windchester! Language!" Glynda yells out.
Torvi did not know what a "retard" was, but she could tell that it was an insult at her. She growled at him threateningly as she twirled her hatchet and dagger in her hands. But then, she accidentally activates the weapons switch mechanic one and her hatchet and dagger turn into something different.
The hatchet turned into a sawed off shotgun with a short stock while the kukri dagger turned into a revolver with a small scope.
Cardin backs up and ready's himself for a flurry of bullets, but Torvi just stares at them as if they turned into dolls.
What happened?! Where's our weapons?!
I think these ARE our weapons.
I don't know. Look down those tubes, maybe there's something there.
Torvi does just that and holds both of the guns in front of her, barrels pointed at her. She can't see anything. Maybe those triggers she saw will do something about that.
Ruby meanwhile was pulling her hair out at what was happening. "Torvi, don't point them at yo-!"
It was too late. Torvi squeezed each trigger at the same time and shot both of them at her face. The shotgun pellets all landed while the revolver shot just one bullet, but a really damaging one.
Torvi's aura skyrocketed down to 45%
In her daze, she did not see Cardin charge at her, enhancing his mace hand with aura and upper cutting her at the chin. He then slammed her right arm making her drop to the ground where he proceeds to beat down on her form.
45% turned to 35%. Then 25%. Then 15%. Then finally, 1%.
Torvi couldn't get up. She was beaten and sore from Cardin. The boy stood triumphantly over her before glaring at Glynda and Ozpin.
"Look at her!". He points at Torvi. "Look me in the face with a straight expression and tell me she IS NOT a retard! She literally shot herself in the face! She shouldn't be here where we worked our butts off to be here! We're meant to be trained as huntsmen and huntresses! She deserves to be locked up in an asylum!"
Ozpin and Glynda say nothing. Team RWBY did not share their response.
"You wouldn't have won if she didn't shot herself Cardin! Remember that!" yelled a furious Yang. Her hair glowed bright gold and her eyes red. She was pissed.
"Torvi..." Ruby said sadly, looking at Torvi's defeated body.
Weiss was frustrated. "Ugh! She could have won! Why did she have to act like the biggest dunce in the world!?"
"She probably never held a gun before" said Blake. She too felt frustrated. Even more so that she was beaten by Cardin of all people.
The other students either agreed with Cardin and yelled at their teacher and headmaster while others laugh at Torvi's mistake. The biggest laughs came from team CRDL.
Torvi was shaking.
We can't lose! WE CAN'T LOSE!
That boy...
He must bleed
RETRIBUTION!
Torvi's shaking continued as she started to burn red fire. Her eyes filled with red and glowed. Cardin saw movement behind him and turned, his cocky demeanor still in his system. That all left those as soon as he saw Torvi.
"So you want- W-What the hell!?"
"Guys, look!" yelled Yang at her team. She then pointed at the screen to see Torvi's aura start to rise and rise until it was back to full but it did not stop there. The meter couldn't handle Torvi's power and after a while the screen started to crack and shattered.
Cardin looks at the shattered screen and then back at Torvi, fear written all over his face. he holds his mace tight in his hands and backs away from the now approaching shaman.
Now seeing her prey fearful and retreating filled Torvi with glee and she sprints towards to boy, putting her weapons at her side to use a different approach.
Cardin yelps in fear and swings at Torvi, hoping to knock her out. It does not but instead does something much worse. She grabs the mace head with her hand with ease and yanks it out of Cardin's hands. She grabs the large mace by the handle and wields it without discomfort.
Cardin looks down to her with even more fear. He tries to back away only to get hit in the head with his own mace. Torvi continues as she throws attack after attack at the boy, keeping him caged in with her.
"That's the same thing she used when we met her remember?" Weiss notes to her team. They nod as they stood in a mixture of fear and awe.
"She was able to take off a death stalkers tail. Why is it taking so long for her to beat Cardin?" questioned the blonde of the group.
"Her attacks are quick, but look here" said Blake. Her team look at her scroll to see Cardin and Torvi's auras. "She's purposefully lowering the power of her swings to make the fight last longer"
Her response made her team and everyone around them look to Torvi, intimidated.
The rest of team CRDL was currently trying to cheer their losing leader but to no avail. "Come on Cardin! Beat that idiot! One up her!" yelled Russel
Torvi growls and stops her assault to turn to Russel in the stands and quickly throws the mace hard at him.
"Oh fu-"
The flying mace hits him square in the face, hard and he radiates green, losing all his aura before losing consciousness.
She turns back to Cardin with a hard punch to the gut followed by a pounce which makes him land on his back again. She looms over the scared bully before opening her mouth wide and biting his neck harder than she did last time, making him scream in pain.
All that was left of his little aura depletes. He quickly glows gray, signaling his lost aura. As soon as his aura disappeared, Torvi's bite connected to his skin, making him scream in more pain as he felt her teeth dig into his neck. Blood spews from the wound, staining the arena floor and fueling Torvi to continue her feast.
She was stopped however by Glynda who used her semblance to raise her off Cardin. The shaman did not want to stop her assault on him though as she grabs by the throat as she was pulled up by Glynda, making him choke.
"Miss Birgerdottir stop! STOP I SAY!"
She doesn't stop. She chokes Cardin harder until his eyes started to roll at the back of his head. She was going to kill him and she was going to enjoy it.
"TORVI STOP! PLEASE!" yelled a young voice. This grabs her attention as she turns to the source of the voice. There she saw Ruby, scared and trembling and yelling at Torvi as her sister was trying to cover her eyes and failing completely. Yang, looking uncharacteristically scared and trying her hardest to prevent ruby from watching anymore. Weiss with her hands at her mouth and wide eyes. And Blake with her hands gripping the railings so tight, her knuckles were white and a pleading, begging look on her face telling her "Don't do it".
The shaman breathes hard and looks to the now unconscious Cardin. She then found she and him were a few feet off the ground with Glynda holding her up. She slowly releases the boy in her hand and lets him hit the ground where the two conscious members of team CRDL help him out of the arena. She paces her breathing until the red fire in her cooled until it was gone. Her eyelids suddenly grew heavy and with only a few seconds of consciousness left in her, she asks herself only one thing.
What happens now?
