The Raid – Rama and Andi vs Mad Dog
"Alright. Chop, chop. Hurry it up!" Cinder demanded, desperate to gain new abilities.
"Wow, you really need those powers huh?" Mercury asked and she just gave him a glare as a response.
"You need to take a chill pill Cindy; your time will come." Roman said with a smirk.
Cinder growled, "Easy for you to say! Since when did you start doing that!?"
Roman looked down at his hands and saw that he was in fact flipping and twirling a card effortlessly and his smirk widened with a shrug.
"What are you talking about? I'm not doing anything." Roman lied.
"Really? Then what's with the card tricks?" Cinder asked with a glare.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Roman continued to lie, now spinning the card with his pinkie.
"The card! The card in your goddamn hand!" Cinder shouted.
"Oh, you mean this card?" Roman asked as he stopped spinning the card.
He held it in front of him and she nodded which caused Roman to let out a chuckle.
"Well, if it bothers you so much, I'll put it away. Now you see me," Roman said, preparing a magic trick, but then the card suddenly flew from his hands and into Mercury's.
"Now you don't." Mercury finished for him while making the card disappear.
"Hey! What's the big idea, pal!?" Roman exclaimed.
"Gotta remember that this whole magic thing is a team effort, old man." Mercury said with a smirk and Roman glared at him.
"Alright, Cosmo, give me new skills! Something not associated with anyone here, especially the silver numb nuts over there." Roman demanded.
"Hey!" Mercury shouted.
"I'm not showing you these things to give you powers, y'know." Cosmo said.
"Yeah, well, should've thought about that before giving Jaune the ability to fly." Blake said.
"Thank you for flying Cloud Arc, this is your superhero Jaune speaking. We'll be experiencing some slight turbulence due to the heavy storms of popcorn being flung at me out of the sheer jealousy of my awesomeness." Jaune said as he flew above everyone, avoiding the popcorn Yang, Neptune and Cardin were throwing at him.
But then he was suddenly grabbed from the air by Hazel, holding him by the neck with a glare.
"Sit your ass down before I make what happened during our fight a reality." Hazel threatened with a sharp crystal protruding from his arm and against Jaune's face "Got it?"
Jaune gulped "Yes sir."
"Aren't you going to do something?" Terra asked.
Saphron shrugged "Superman needs to get that ego checked somehow."
Glynda watched Jaune fly back to his seat and shook her head, "Honestly, these powers are going to lead to a disaster."
Ozpin smiled, then he chuckled, then he laughed out loud, surprising everyone since he'd never been so…boisterous. He widened his eyes and coughed, regaining his composure, and fixing himself up.
"Apologies, I don't know what had gotten over me." Ozpin said, although he was chuckling a bit from time to time.
"You don't think?" Summer whispered to Taiyang, and he nodded.
"Gotta keep an eye on him." Taiyang whispered back to her.
"Speaking of eyes," Winter said and all three of them looked at Salem who had the Sharingan active and she was looking around the room rapidly as if she was analysing everyone "Should we be concerned?"
"Be glad her soul counterpart wasn't shown yet." Qrow said with a nonchalant burp.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Taiyang asked.
"Let's just say, be glad Ruby and Jaune are as strong as they are now." Qrow said, taking another drink although what he said did worry and confuse them.
"Alright, enough stalling! Start the damn thing!" Cinder shouted with a glare towards Cosmo "And I better be getting something from it."
"Alright, alright, fine." Cosmo said with an eye roll as pressed on his remote "Gotta show you a tutorial on how to say please too."
The dimension starts off with a bruised and battered Winter hanging from a chain while Cinder repeatedly landed blow after blow on her body while she let out screams and shouts of pain.
Many gasped at the sight, shocked by it to say the least. Qrow slowly put his drink down and glared at the screen while Cinder slowly started to smirk in satisfaction.
"What a way to start it off…" Ozpin muttered, holding in a chuckle.
"What a way indeed." Cinder said in amusement.
"Sister…" Whitley muttered worriedly as Willow silently prayed for her to be okay.
"What led me to being in this state?" Winter asked.
"I guess we'll just have to find out." Weiss said.
The door to the room opened to reveal Weiss in tactical gear and Cinder stopped her torture while Weiss glared at her. Winter slowly turned to look at Weiss and she lowered her head tiredly.
"Here comes anew challenger!" Nora exclaimed, happy to see Weiss arrive for the rescue.
"A little context would be nice, Cosmo." Qrow asked, almost yelled, and Winter held onto his hand to calm him down.
"Weiss is a cop, she was tasked to be apart of a raid that was set to take down a whole building of bad guys, things didn't go well." Cosmo summarized.
"Well, that explains the uniform." Velvet said.
"I'm a police officer?" Weiss asked in surprise and Cosmo nodded, "These dimensions are really pushing the realm of believability."
"And what's my stake in all of this? Have I been captured?" Winter asked.
"I mean that's kind of obvious; don't you think?" Vernal asked and Winter just rolled her eyes at her.
"I'd explain more, but that'll take a lot of brain power so let's just watch the video!" Cosmo exclaimed with a grin.
"Sometimes I question your qualifications for this job." Glynda said and Cosmo just laughed.
"What job? I'm happily unemployed." Cosmo laughed with a shrug.
"That makes too much sense." Glynda said with a sigh.
Cinder walked away from Winter, towards a lever. She pulled the lever, lowering the chain holding Winter just as Weiss slowly approached her sister. She started untangling the chains and once they were free, Cinder started raising it back up, not taking her eyes off the two sisters.
Emerald gulped, "Cinder has this crazed look in her eye that I just don't like."
"What's got your panties in a bunch? You see that look every day." Roman said, catching a punch to the face from Cinder and he smirked "Nice try."
Cinder's eyes glazed over, and she hit him in the gut with a flurry of kicks then took him down with a spin kick.
Everyone was shocked by the demonstration and Cinder blinked in surprise.
"What? Huh!?" Cinder asked in shock as Roman groaned in pain while Mercury and Emerald held Neo back from lunging at Cinder.
"That was way to technical for a random set of kicks." Ren said with a raised eyebrow "Who was your master?"
"I never learned any…" Cinder said, but then she widened her eyes and looked at the screen "You don't think…"
Everyone looked back at the screen with the same questioning gaze.
Weiss helped wrap Winter's bloodied hands up just as Cinder finished raising the chain. She started walking towards them and Weiss helped Winter up, Cinder gesturing for the two to split and they did, Cinder now standing in between them.
"Are you seriously going to fight with those injuries?" Willow asked worriedly.
"I think we might die if I don't." Winter replied with worry as well.
"Got some balls taking them on by yourself, Cinder." Roman said while rubbing his stomach with a groan as Neo helped him up.
"Two rich girls against moi? Ha! Child's play." Cinder laughed, ignoring the glares she received.
Weiss and Winter took their fighting stances as Cinder looked to the left and right at both.
"Kick her ass!" Qrow shouted.
"Show her what's what, Weiss!" Ruby shouted.
"I'll teach you to call me a rich girl." Weiss growled.
"She's not wrong though…" Blake muttered.
"This is going to be so cool." Yang said with an excited smile.
Weiss and Winter attacked with punches and kicks at the same time, but Cinder countered all of them, easily fighting off the two sisters. She blocked a punch from Winter and punched her in the throat then kicked her in the face, which flung her to the ground. She then took Weiss' grab as an advantage and flipped her over to the ground catching Winter's kick and kicking her back down then kicking her in the stomach.
"Sweet Oum!" Junior exclaimed with his jaw dropped.
"She's taking them on like they're nothing to her." Cinder said in shock.
"May as well be," Cosmo said, and they looked at him "People call Cinder the Mad Dog for a reason."
"The Mad Bitch?" Roman asked, dodging a swift kick from Cinder.
Weiss rolled her eyes at Roman's comment "Why do they call her Mad Dog?"
"You'll see." Cosmo said with a cryptic laugh.
Weiss came in for the save with a flurry of kicks that Cinder kept blocking, but she eventually tripped her, and they both fell to the ground. She tried to kick her again, but Cinder grabbed her leg and twisted it, getting back up in the process. Weiss managed to kick her away just as Winter came back to fight, but Cinder effortlessly took her down while Weiss got up, but she was soon taken down by a knee to the face.
"Stop getting up! You're just making it more painful!" Oscar exclaimed.
"No, no, keep getting up! I want to feel this rush all the way!" Cinder exclaimed with a crazed smile.
"Starting to see why she got that nickname now…" Mercury said, and Emerald nodded, concerned for Cinder's mental state.
Cinder went to kick Winter, but she grabbed her leg and flung her away, chasing after her and going to stomp her, but Cinder blocked each kick while getting up and she retaliated with a kick to Winter's face then a kick to the stomach that took her down.
Most cringed at the blow, and even if some didn't want to admit it, they were impressed by all three of their fighting prowess.
"Now this is what I love." Raven said and Qrow looked at her wide eyed.
"Seriously?" Qrow asked.
Raven nodded "Yup. Nothing flashy, no explosions, no guns, just a bare knuckle brawl that shows the truly skilled."
"I'm honestly shocked Weiss has these kinds of moves." Yang said.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Weiss asked with narrowed eyes.
"Your fighting style is girly." Ruby said and Weiss glared at her, to which Ruby responded with a nervous smile "No offence."
"All of it taken!" Weiss shouted.
Weiss got back up with an assault of her fists and she landed a couple of good hits in, but then Cinder countered with an elbow to the chest that knocked the wind out of Weiss, and Cinder grabbed her by the neck and flung her to the ground.
"It's going to take a lot more than that to take me down." Cinder stated.
"I think they already know that." Jaune said.
"I think everybody knows that." Pyrrha added.
Winter came from behind and kicked the back of Cinder's leg, but she retaliated and landed knee kicks to her face, but Weiss grabbed her although Cinder elbowed her in the face and brought both of them down to the ground. Winter came in a kick that Cinder blocked, and she retaliated with punches and kicks, but Weiss joined and the both of them started punching and kicking Cinder, who blocked and parried their overwhelming strikes.
"What type of martial arts is she using to able to harbour this much skill?" Ren asked in shock.
"None that I've seen." Sienna responded.
"Whatever it is, I got to learn it." Mercury said with wide eyes.
"This just might be better than Salem's feat, in terms of skill of course." Ozpin said.
Salem scoffed "Someone must've put you in a powerful Genjutsu."
"Gen-wha-?" Nora asked.
All three women fought to their heart's content, Weiss and Winter doing it for survival while Cinder was riding out the thrill of the battle. All three of them would get taken down to the ground, but repeatedly, they would get up. All of them displaying impressive feats of honed martial arts at the highest degree.
"No matter what they do, she just won't go down." Willow said worriedly.
"What do you do when you hit a wall that can't be climbed over?" Taiyang asked.
"Break through." Winter replied with a serious gaze towards the screen "We break through it."
"Easier said than done." Blake said.
Weiss and Winter finally took her down to the ground and held her in place, but she thrashed through their holds and got up. Weiss fought her off, but Cinder took her down with two strong punches to the gut and slamming her against the wall, only to be tackled into it by Winter. Cinder fought her off, but Weiss got back up and punched her in the face, slamming her head into the wall again.
"She's getting tired, I can tell." Coco said.
"So are they." Ren added, worried about the outcome of this battle.
Cinder got a hold of Weiss and she beat her down to the ground with a flurry of punches, just as Winter came in, but Cinder dispatched of her easily and went back to fighting Weiss who she flipped over, accidentally breaking the light above them.
"Is that it? Is it over?" Oscar asked.
"No, not by a long shot." Qrow responded.
"If I don't see blood then the fight hasn't even started yet." Cinder states, making those around her fearful of her mental state.
Cinder grabbed Weiss and picked her up, putting her in a chokehold to start choking her out while Weiss struggled to get free. Winter tiredly looked up to see this and she looked at the light shard on the ground, knowing she had to do something, and she had to do it fast.
"C'mon, you got to get up." Winter muttered worriedly.
"That's it. Protect your sister, you have to…" Willow muttered, hoping that both of her daughters would come out of this alive.
"Why not just snap her neck and finish it then and there?" Adam asked.
"To savour the kill of course." Both Cinder and Raven answered.
"Wow." Taiyang said with wide eyes.
"Told you not to stick your dick in crazy." Qrow said.
Winter crawled over to the shard and grabbed onto it, getting up and grabbing Cinder by the hair. She pulled her head back and stabbed the shard into her neck, twisting it just as Cinder let out a shout of pain.
"Yes! She got her!" Weiss exclaimed and a few celebrated.
"Damn it!" Cinder exclaimed angrily.
"It's over!" Velvet exclaimed with a grin.
"Not yet…" Salem said with a smirk.
Cinder elbowed Winter away, and kicked her to the ground, but she was losing blood in the process, and she fell as well. She grabbed onto Winter and started slamming her head to the ground with her blood spilling everywhere.
Many cringed and had to look away from the visceral scene while others were in awe at the level of sheer will Cinder had to keep on fighting.
"Now I see why she's called Mad Dog." Taiyang said.
"That shard might as well have been a rabies shot that just makes her go crazy." Qrow said.
"But the more she moves, the more blood she loses." Summer said.
"I don't think she cares." Raven said.
"If I'm going to die then I'm taking one of the Schnee with me." Cinder stated.
"Now that's my kind of thinking!" Adam exclaimed with a happy grin.
Weiss got up to kick her, but Cinder grabbed her leg and countered with punch after punch, eventually getting kicked away and tripping on Cinder. She slammed Winter's head into the ground two more times and got up to be met with Weiss attacking her once again.
"Can she even see them with all that blood in her eyes?" Blake asked in shock.
"She's attacking off instinct!" Yang exclaimed.
"I'm so cool!" Cinder exclaimed with a grin.
"Oh my god, can you just die already!?" Winter shouted.
She was about to kill Weiss, but Winter stopped her, but she got knocked away again and Cinder tried to go after her, but Weiss stopped her. Cinder tried to retaliate, but Weiss broke both of Cinder's arms and hit her with a flurry of punches. She then twisted her around and broke her spine, Winter tripping her and kicking her in the stomach.
"It's over." Qrow stated.
"No!" Cinder yelled.
"It's over Cinder, you lost." Salem stated.
Weiss grabbed the shard and dragged it across Cinder's neck, slitting her throat and finally killing her.
The screen went dark just as Cosmo poofed to the front.
"Well?" Cosmo asked.
Roman was the first to start clapping, joined by Neo, then Qrow, then almost everyone, not just for the fight but the well-earned victory of the sisters.
"Oh, screw you all!" Cinder shouted, the only one not clapping and quite pissed off at the moment.
"I have not seen choreography like that in a long time." Ghira said.
"It was a beautiful dance." Salem said with a satisfied smirk.
"Although I'm not a fan of watching people fight to the death, I will admit that was quite the spectacle." Glynda said.
"My sisters are so amazing! Nay, awesome! Nay, how does my current generation say? Dope?" Whitely asked, completely amazed by the fight.
"Don't hurt yourself, little guy." Yang said with a chuckle.
"Good job, Ice Queen." Qrow commended with a smile and Winter smiled back at him with a soft punch to his shoulder.
"Does this mean Weiss is a kung fu fighting badass police girl now?" Ruby asked.
"Now? I've always been badass." Weiss stated.
"50/50." Blake said and Weiss narrowed her eyes at her.
"I was quite worried, but I'm glad my babies are okay." Willow said in relief.
"Weiss, Winter," Jacques stated, and they looked at him "You survived. Good."
"Wow" Winter said as Qrow looked at her, "That's the nicest thing he's ever said to us."
"Cosmo that was awesome, please tell me the hype train keeps on going?" Yang asked.
"Well, duh! You know a guy like me picks the best stuff." Cosmo stated which made Yang grin in excitement.
"Then what's next?" Sun asked.
"How about I show you a boy saviour?" Cosmo asked with a smirk.
