Chapter 8
The next day had arrived and the next round was under way both Crimson and Ebony were watching the fight Ebony was eyes up Coco weapon "cool I wouldn't mind a weapon like that!" he said almost drooling at it.
"I know brother but you can't only our Juggernaut may weld such weapons like that" she said while trying to find the girl who seem to have vanished into thin air "I don't like her though she could be a tough one to find" she said then seeing a chain like weapon to wrap around Coco and pulling her into the forest.
"well guess your not the only one with chains" Ebony said to her only to gain no answer back from her.
Crimson watched as she saw the tall Male being eliminated when she saw her brother looking at the fight questionably "what wrong brother!?" she asked concerned for him.
"he has been eliminated but yet somehow he in the forest which only means one of their semblance must be to create illusion" he said watching as Coco was then eliminated from the fight.
"so guess if we ever fight them we need to be on our guard" she said to him seeing the medic walking to ring to check the fighters for any injuries.
"yes we do" he said getting up off his chair "well I am going for a walk before the next match coming?" he said looking to his sister who nodded and went off.
...
A few hours later and the next match was under away Crimson chuckled at her brother reaction to Penny fighting style his eyes just keep on looking at her every step she taken his eyes would follow behind when the match had ended his jumped up and down with cheers "okay brother you saw your girlfriend winning a fight now settle down the next one about to begin" she said seeing Yang and Weiss walking out to the platform.
Then seeing a jazz looking guy and a speedy weird looking girl coming out of the tunnel "hmm strange combo I must say" she said when she heard the speedy girls told Yang about her being a little top heavy "oh nice get your enemy angry will make the enemy into tiring themselves out quickly nice plan" she got comfortable to enjoy this match as her brother pulled out some pop corn and gave her some.
...
An hour later into the fight and both Yang and Weiss had managed to win the fight which brought Crimson and Ebony to shock looks "well looks like I was wrong!" she said watching as the rest of their teams rushed to them.
"well looks like it well come on it time for our fight" Ebony said getting up to head to the platform as his sister followed behind him.
...
They made their way on to the stage while the teacher were announcing about this fight being a special one Ebony had two of his pistols weapon while Crimson had her chain wrapped around her as a person gave them a microphone "so tell us who you have picked to be your opponents?" they heard Doctor Oobleck asking them.
Looking out the crowd Crimson eyes fell on to Pyrrha giving her smirking smile "I chose Miss Pyrrha" hearing the crowd gasp in shock and seeing her just getting up and walking to the arena while she gave the mic to her brother who then looked over the crowd.
As he looked over the many faces his eyes fell onto a woman who he remember in one of the match here she had green hair smile to himself "I chose Emerald please" he said seeing her eyes shot wide open in shock as she got up heading to the arena.
"so is there a reason why you choose her and not our original pick?" he hears his sister asked him.
"yes I believe I have found our little Miss illusion so I want to see her use it or try to use it on me" he said seeing both of them entered the arena.
...
Emerald was worried about this she seen how that girl fights but not the boy and also was worried if they knew and this was some cruel torture to get her to spill out the info but either way she knew she had to keep calm and just play along "so any tips on them?" she asked the girl next to her.
"well the girl like to use her chain to keep her opponent at a distance while also using it as a whip to injure them plus it seems when you near her your semblance can't work for some unknown reason" she paused looking over the boy "while him I don't know" she said watching the scene being brought up it was a bunch of ruined building and nothing else then seeing the time counting down to zero.
"well ready for round two Miss Pyrrha!" Crimson shouts to her while swinging her chain with a smile.
"of course and I have been learning from the last time" she smiled back to her getting ready
"yes well now you have my brother to deal with as well" she said as they heard the begin word being shout out as she unwraps her chain quickly then wrapping it around a concrete beam behind her using it to pull her back away from them two.
Emerald gasp at how quick and how flawless she managed to do that only then to be brought out of her shock when she saw the boy jumping up in the air landing in the middle of them on his hands and spin around with his feet out making Emerald to move away using her hand to block the attack.
Ebony got up on his feet looking to the two girls seeing Emerald and Pyrrha both away from each other smiling to himself he rushes to Emerald slides on the floor passing under her legs coming up behind her giving her a kick to the side causing her to fly to a set of building's.
Pyrrha was about to rush up to him when all of a sudden a chain was blocking her path turning her head seeing Crimson on a beam smiling away she then rushes to her while dodging her chain but this time with more effect she was closing in on her jumping up in the air and aimed for Crimson when she saw her moving her chain to hit her she throw the spear to her landing on the ground looking up seeing her work.
Crimson gasp when she couldn't feel her chain looking to her right she saw her chain pinned against a wall with Pyrrha spear holding it there shocked by her moved then smiling to Pyrrha "well it seems you have learned" she said jumping down from the beam and got ready to do some hand combat.
"well like I said I was learning" she said rushing to her with a punch ready.
...
Emerald was blocking punches and kicks trying to find a way to punch him but he kept on moving around jumping and spinning around when she suddenly felt a kick to her stomach with throw her into a ruined building getting she looked around for him with her weapons ready when she heard something behind her quickly turning around firing a few shots she saw a shadow moving from one beam to another she tried to use her semblance but shocked that she couldn't use it "so it seems Pyrrha wasn't wrong" she said to her self.
"trying to use your semblance or have you found out you can't" she hears him saying when all of a sudden she felt a kick to her side getting up she managed to wrap her chain around him and using it to pull herself to him giving him a kick to the side as well which made him crash into a beam rushing to him while he was still recovering she managed to get a couple of punches in him before she felt two of her hand being grabbed and her whole body being spun in the air before being let go.
Pyrrha was starting to get tired she was having some success but at a cost of her getting tiered out to quick seeing Crimson was also getting tired "had enough yet!" she hears her asking through her heavy, fast breathing.
Looking up at Crimson with a smile "not yet" she said seeing her rushing to her chain trying to get it she throws her shield towards the beam where her spear kept it pinned seeing Crimson ducking to dodge it.
...
Crimson looked at the beam and now sees the shield pinning her chain to the beam "dam it I knew she was training but I never knew she would do this" she said to herself then rushed to the beam jumping onto the shield using it as a boost to jump in the air flipping around behind Pyrrha sliding under which forced her to jump in the air but Crimson was prepared for this grabbing a hold of her ankle pulling her down to the ground with such a force knocking the wind out of her getting up she walked to the beam pulling the shield off then was about to go for the spear only to kicked in the side by Pyrrha knocking her to the ground "well you recovered fast than I thought" she said getting up.
"yes like I said I have been training" she said causing both of them to smile while getting ready again.
...
Ruby was amazed by it all seeing both teams holding out very well she taken a glance at the screen to see how both teams Aura were nearing the end point gazing back to the fight she could see Crimson and Pyrrha were exchanging punches while that Emerald girl and Ebony were jumping from beams to pillars exchanging gun fire to each other.
...
Cinder was watching with worry she had hoped Emerald would have used her illusion by now but seeing her not using it now made her even more worry watching as she and that boy exchanging gun shots with each other she saw Emerald aura was only two points away from the limit line where she would lose this match.
...
Cerise watched with a smile seeing both her children had improved their combat skills but still needs to improve some places like their teamwork skills and they both need to learn to rush their fight while her daughter needs to stop relying on her chain and do more hand to hand combat while her son need to do more weapons training "remind me to up their training" she said to one of her guards who nodded to her.
...
Ebony hide behind one of the pillars watching Emerald walking about trying to find him when he jumped up on a beam which was shot by her making him come crashing down creating a huge dust cloud.
...
Emerald watched the dust moving around when all of a sudden she was kicked from behind which made her fly into the area barrier and hearing the buzzing sound "oh and that Emerald out of the fight" she hears one of the teachers saying looking up seeing she was indeed out of the fight slamming her fist on the ground in anger.
...
Both Pyrrha and Crimson stop to see Emerald was out of the fight Crimson then rushed to her chain managing to pull it out swing it around to wrap around Pyrrha who was still stunned by the whole thing and giving it one huge pull she made her fly into the barrier.
Pyrrha got up looking at the board to see she was out of the fight then seeing a hand in front looking up seeing it was Crimson who was standing there with a smile on her "that was a great fight I must admit you pinning my chain and preventing me to getting it back was a great move" she hears while taking the hand to pull her up.
"thank you, you to I never had a fight like that in a long time" she smiles back to her as they made their way off the arena.
...
Emerald saw that boys hand in front of her slapping it away she got up "I must admit it was good you really did push me to the limit there" she hears him saying.
"well maybe next time we fight you will see me win" she said to him walking pass him.
Ebony smiled to himself watching her leave "I would love that" he said to himself then walking up to his sister and Pyrrha to help them both to the medical bay to get checked up.
...
Later that day Cerise was watching a camera feed on Ozpin office listening into their conversation when she heard something about Guardian and someone being chosen she knew fine well what he was talking about, she then heard two of her children coming into her office "my children" she said to them facing each of them "now your fighting today was brilliant it shows you have improved but still need to improve more" she saw them looking down at that "but however there is more pressing matter the now it seems my spy drone caught a meet between Ozpin and a that drunken man they were on about someone being chosen to be come a maiden".
"so that must mean who ever is the maiden the now is in a bad condition" she hears her daughter saying making her nodding to that.
"it does so I need to see him and see what he might do if I asked him about the maiden location see if he will tell the truth or not which means we cannot trust him anymore!" she said to them in a strict manner.
"I see but what about the other who are being lead by him!" she hears her son saying in a concerned way.
"I suspect they are only being given half truths while whoever they have picked to be this new maiden will be give a lot more of the truth but either way we must protect them all remember our moto" she saw them nodding to her which made smile.
"no pack get left behind, defend the weak and helpless" she hears them both saying at the same time.
"good now I am off to see our dear friend Ozpin" she got up to walk to the door but stopped "oh and another thing I have told Miss Glynda about us and she is working with us which I have placed her as one of the second commander of the army well bye" she then left them stunned by that news.
...
"well I guess she is in charge of us now" Ebony said to his sister who nodded while still looking to the door that their mother left through.
"come on let head back I am hungry" she said and they both went off to get a plane.
...
An hour later and Cerise was in Ozpin office "ah your Empress please what can I do for you?" she walks up to him seeing him sitting at his desk with his coffee mug.
"guards leave us!" she said strict to them waiting until they were out of the room "okay Ozpin may I know there where about of the maidens that my empire once help to keep safe?" she watched him froze at that with wide eyes.
"well we thought it was best for us to stop protecting them as it seems to attract unwanted people to them and to keep our communication to a limit" she listened into his every word which to her was bringing up alarm bells in her mind.
"okay I will accept that for now" she walked off leaving the office "get one of our recon drone to scan this whole building he is hiding something I know it!" she demanded to one of her guards who rushed off to fulfil that order while she went off to her bed for the night.
