"Shall we?"
"Yes, Neo. We shall."
Fox drew his weapon instantly, spinning and deflecting Cinder's blades, kicking her back before flipping over Neo, slashing at her, only for her to deflect it with her umbrella, slamming the end of it into his abdomen and throwing him backward. He flipped, landing on his feet and sprinting forward, rolling under Neo's strike and slashing at her, only for her to shatter and Cinder's foot to crash into his face. He flipped, landing on his back before rolling aside from Cinder, who drove both swords into the ground. He slashed them, breaking both blades before blocking Neo's umbrella and planting his foot in her gut, throwing her backward. He swung his legs in a circle, rolling forward and using their momentum to carry him to his feet in time for his sword to crash into Cinder's single, double-handed scimitar.
"You're quick with your blades," Fox said, spinning and letting her pass, slashing at her only for her to shatter, Neo's umbrella slamming into the underside of his jaw.
Fox flipped to his feet, glaring at Neo. She was the more annoying of the two, even if not the bigger threat. Somehow, he felt like Cinder, even while fighting him in earnest, wasn't really giving him her all. He sprinted forward, flipping over Cinder and landing in front of Neo. He spun as he slashed, sure enough making her shatter. However, just as he did, his sword crashed into her umbrella a half second later. He stopped, lunging forward and ramming his shoulder into her, slamming her into the wall. Then, he grabbed her by the hair and spun.
"Go to sleep!" he shouted, hurling her head first into the opposite wall.
Some part of him felt bad for beating up on a girl. However, that part was instantly silenced as Cinder leapt at him with her sword, slashing and hitting nothing but air. He stood beside her, slashing back only for her to twirl out of the way. She growled in rage, swiping a hand and sending several chunks of ice flying at him. He slashed them out of the air and lunged, slashing at her, smashing straight through her sword, carving a gash into her shoulder. She shouted in rage, flames beginning to fly from her right uncovered eye in the shape of a butterfly wing. She floated into the air, raising her arms as the ground began to glow below Fox. Fox hurled himself aside and it exploded. He stood, sprinting forward away from a couple more explosions before leaping into the air and kicking at Cinder. She caught his foot but before she could throw him, he slashed at her. She flipped backward, landing on her feet and swiping a hand.
Fox flipped into the air, a bolt of lightning flashing out of the air above the crouching bitch and striking the ground behind where he had been. He hurled his sword, Cinder rolling out of the way before he landed in front of her, drilling a punch into her jaw and making her stagger backward. He ripped his sword out of the ground as she hurled a fireball at him. He rolled under it, forming his bow and pulling it back, firing. The arrow sliced off a couple of her hairs before she could react and she shrieked in rage, the wall beside Fox exploding, launching him into the opposite wall, which also exploded. He crashed down hard, his Aura fading, and Cinder formed herself a sword. He waited. She walked forward, growling in annoyance and raising her sword. Then, Fox lunged, driving the sword at her, embedding it entirely through her abdomen. Cinder's eyes widened as the flames coming from her eye went out.
"Sorry," Fox said. "But I'm not helpless just because my Aura's gone. Perks of my semblance." He channeled pure energy into his body, mimicking his aura. "Now die, you bitch."
He slashed sideways out of her and dropped her body to the ground, looking to where he had left Neo, but she was gone. He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He was going to have a headache, but at least he had beaten Cinder. He left the hallway they had fought in, walking over to his team and sitting down just as Nora slammed her hammer into all four of their competitors, sending them all flying out of the ring.
"Did I miss anything good?" Fox asked.
"Well, they were in the middle of a fight and Jaune's horrible taste in team names caused a team discussion, ending with Jaune deciding to just have Nora knock them all out herself," Wulfe said.
Just then, Professor Port asked for someone to go and make sure the competitors Nora had just launched were all okay. Fox laughed, shaking his head.
"Well?" Ava asked. "What happened?"
"I was right," Fox said. "That girl with the pink and brown hair was there, and was a pain in the ass, and then I killed Cinder."
"You what!?" Ava gasped. "You're sure?"
"Stabbed her on her right side, ripped my sword out her left," Fox said. "Pretty sure."
"Then, what?" Wulfe asked. "Is it over?"
"I know Ava just asked, but, are you one hundred percent sure that you killed her?" Leon asked. "No offense to you, but it doesn't seem like things would end that easily."
Fox stared at him before sighing and leaning back, crossing his arms. "I hate it when you bring down the mood. Maybe things actually went our way for a change." Fox looked across the arena, seeing Mercury and Emerald, both watching him intently. "Or maybe not. I think I should kill Emerald and Mercury too."
"Probably," Leon agreed.
"But they're still in the tournament, so no," Ava said. "It's bad enough you killed Cinder, maybe."
"Oh you too, huh?" Fox asked before sighing. "Okay. So what do we do now?"
"We tell Ozpin, first," Wulfe said. "Then we ready ourselves for it to not be over."
Fox nodded and sighed. "I hate you guys sometimes."
Fox settled in to watch the next fight, four girls from Shade against Sun and Neptune and their two teammates, both with names starting with "S," allowing the team name to be pronounced Sun. The fight started off on a very hysterical note, with half the field being water with a pirate ship and the other being a desert, complete with a miniature, yet sweltering, sun. The funny part was that Neptune, named for the God of the Sea, was afraid of water. Another funny thing was that Weiss, who had an obvious crush on Neptune, saw Neptune flirting with the Shade team and got mad, telling the Shade team to "Break his stupid face." At first, the fight began in the desert, mostly because that was where Neptune ran as fast as he could. Then, one of Sun's teammates was eliminated, so, Sun and Neptune made up for it by quickly taking down one of the Shade team's. Then, the leader of the Shade team, who had the ability to make small tornados, apparently, used one to send Sun and Neptune's other teammate, who looked like a pirate and fought with a cutlass, flying onto the pirate ship.
A moment later, everyone but Neptune was there. However, before much could be done, Sun hurled a pair of coconuts at the leader of Shade's team, only for them to be sent back at him. They missed, and instead hit Sun's pirate teammate, one in the jaw, one in the groin, eliminating him by dropping his Aura down too far. This, of course, left Sun to fight the other three alone, Neptune claiming to be "locking down" the other sector, not even able to help Sun now because it would mean turning toward the ocean. However, after several demands from Sun, and Sun stating that he was afraid of water, Neptune shot the Shade team's leader out of the air before claiming he wasn't afraid. Then, Sun jumped out of the water as Neptune tiptoed toward the water in an attempt to not anger it, and switched his gun to its staff form, driving it into the water, sending lightning flashing across the surface, knocking out the other three Shade members.
"You know what I'd call that victory?" Port asked.
"Shocking?" Oobleck asked.
"No," Port said. "Well earned. What you said is stupid."
"So much for having a sense of humor," Fox snorted. "I am so blackmailing Neptune."
"Definitely," Wulfe grinned.
"Can we focus on the bigger problems?" Leon asked.
"You're right," Fox nodded. "I need to figure out how to blackmail Sun."
"Not that!" Leon snapped. "The bitch! Can we please focus on dealing with the bitch?"
"Sorry," Fox shrugged. "Me and Ava are up soon. Hopefully against Emerald and Mercury."
Just then, Sun, who was dancing in the arena, pointed at Blake and winked, Blake blushing. Fox's smile dropped instantly and he stood.
"I'm going to go and get a drink," Fox grumbled. "And probably hit something I shouldn't."
"Make sure it's the bitch," Leon said.
"Oh, it'll be a bitch, alright," Fox grumbled to himself. "I'm going to hit that bitch pretty fucking soon, at this rate."
Just then, Oobleck called for everyone to leave the coliseum for the day in a clam and orderly fashion. Fox made sure to disappear into the crowd before any of his teammates could follow him.
