Two Hours later, Ryan was in the SPARing arena Locker room, preparing for his battle against Weiss. Warming up with Push-Ups, Sit-Ups, Squats, and throwing some punches and kicks in front of a mirror.

Once he finished, he tied on The Number One Headband around his forehead, Laced up his VANS Off the Wall Sneakers, and put on his Leather Jacket. And before he walked out to the arena, he looked himself in the mirror, took a couple of deep breaths, and shouted into the mirror with pride, "I! CAN! AND! I! WILL!" Ryan Shouted, as he punched the mirror dead in the center, shattering it to pieces. "Now it's show time."

Ryan Grabbed his sword, headphones, cell phone, and his bag of weapons, ready to fight against the Schnee Dust Company Heiress.

Just as he was about to head out to the SPARing Arena, he heard a familiar voice. "Excuse Me?" Said the voice.

Ryan turned around to see Velvet, being accompanied by another girl, she was a teenage girl with fair skin, short dark-brown hair, and dark-brown eyes. She has wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that starts as dark brown and transitions to caramel. Her clothes consist of a long, cocoa-colored shirt with an upturned layered frill collar with a black single strapped waist cincher. She wears black leather trousers that have golden lining around the pocket and ribbons attached to the back of a golden zipper seam around her knees. A black golden studded belt is normally hidden by a large cocoa-colored belt with gun cartridges on the left side and a large golden crosshair buckle. A large piece of black fabric is attached to her belt hanging down on her right side. She wears a pair of dark black, high-heeled leather calf-high boots with golden buckles. She also dons a number of accessories, such as a bracelet with black roses as decoration; these are accompanied by black gloves and three beaded necklaces alongside a black scarf tied around her collar. She wears a black beret with a cocoa brown trim and a pair of black, wire-rimmed aviator sunglasses. She is seen holding a black shoulder bag with gold studs, which is held by a bandolier strap (Gianduja).

"Hey Velvet," Ryan waved to her, "Who's your friend?"

"Coco Adel, nice to meet you," the girl replied, shaking Ryan's hand, "Vel here said that you tanked on all of Team CRDL earlier today?"
"Godamn' right," Ryan replied, "Knocked Cardin out with a Kamehameha, right into a tree."

"Well... I didn't get the chance to thank you, Ryan." Velvet told him.

"Hey, No Problemo, Velvet." Ryan Replied, "It's what I do everyday back where I'm from. Be a hero, save the world, and make things right for everyone, being any species or race they are. Plus, I just don't like seeing people sad."

"Well, again Ryan," Velvet replied, "Thank you for your help. And, before your battle with Weiss, can I get a quick picture?" Velvet pulled out a compact camera with her emblem covering the lens. While Ryan pulled out his phone, and opened the camera app.

"Sure," Ryan replied, "Anything for a friend." As both he, Velvet, and Coco warped their arms around each others shoulders for a big group selfie. "Say 'Limburger.'" as both Ryan and Velvet pressed the button on their devices, and snapped their photos. "That's a keeper."

"Thanks again, Ryan." Velvet thanked.

"Anytime, Vel," Ryan replied, smiling back at her, "Now if you excuse me... It's Showtime." As he put on his headphones, kissed his 'Sir Frances Drake' Ring for good luck, and headed towards the arena entrance.

"Good luck out there," Coco said to Ryan, "Weiss is pretty tough when it comes to combat. And by the way, LOVE the red leather jacket."

"Hey, thanks Coco, That means a lot to me." Ryan Replied, as he began to walk out to the SPARing arena.

Ryan walked out towards the arena stage, sheathed sword in hand, and weapons ready in his bag on his back. As he walked up to the steps to the stage, he saw Weiss holding her Myrtenaster in hand, giving Ryan an intimidating stare, but it didn't intimidate him, as Ryan to his place on the SPARing stage. "Hope you're ready to lose, 'Weiss' Princess." Ryan joked to his teammate in his cocky attitude.

Weiss, annoyed by the joke Ryan made about her, just scoffed at him, 'I'm not ready to lose to you," she replied to him in a snobby attitude, "But I am ready to prove you wrong." as she pointed her Myrtenaster at Ryan, who responded by unsheathing his sword, and pointed it back at her.

"Tch, Yeah Right." He Replied in his cocky attitude, as Miss Goodwitch stepped to the center edge of the arena, and raised her arm, signaling the beginning of the battle.
