wow this did not take long, did it? well hey, I made my schedule work and let us just say that this chapter was a blast to wright. but enough bullshit and so a little disclaimer first and foremost before any of this starts. the following chapter will have Akira essentially fighting for his life while crippled so before we go on I do not mean to say that I hate crippled or disabled folk in fact I treat them like other people with respect and love (like most people) so I do not mean any harm here ok.

CHAPTER 3 (S4DC SEASON 2)

(pov Akira)

You know waking up for the first time after having your limbs cut off fucken sucks. I mean why wouldn't it, your muscles are burning, your most definitely tired after being out for a long time and the fact that you think your arms and legs got chopped off only to notice now there just skin and bone can be traumatic.

But seriously what happened?

Why do I have my limbs back?

Why do I feel stitches on my chest and waist?

And the most important of them all, why the hell was I back in my cell in the velvet room?

"Oh you're awake." said a slightly angelic voice

I look over to the door of my cell to see a woman with short white hair and yellow eyes. She wears a blue dress that resembles a stewardess' outfit with five black-lined circles outside small yellow circles, blue gloves, a blue attendant-like hat, black leggings, and blue, knee-length boots, just standing there looking at me.

"Who are you?" I asked

"My name is Elizabeth." said Elizabeth as she started walking toward rigors desk "and I have been watching you and your friends for a while now. But as of right now I just want to have a chat"

She grabs a record from out of nowhere and sets it on the table as well as a record player and sets it next to it.

"Sure." I said as I leaned against the bars of my cell "what do you wish to talk about?"

"Nothing much." said Elizabeth as she grabbed the record and put it on the player "I just want to talk about a contract."

"A contract"

"Yes"

"What type of contract are we talking here?" I asked before a sudden realization came to mind "hold on you aren't trying to take my soul to the devil are you?"

"Well not entirely." said Elizabeth "I just want to give you a persona that will be perfect for the times at hand. But also yes I plan to take your false persona's."

"What do you mean false?" I asked

"The persona's that you have our not your own." said Elizabeth "they belong to another person. They were taken from her thanks to the grail and its sick game."

"Ok then, who did he take them from?"

"That information I can't give you." said Elizabeth "because I don't exactly know myself."

"But your a resident of the velvet room! Knowing shit I am not supposed to know is your job!" I said astonished

"Well it is complicated," said Elizabeth "but i need you to trust me on this. To allow me to give you this contract so then our questions can be answered."

Then everything faded to black as I heard a voice ring through my head.

"Wake up."

(the beacon battlefield) (no pov)

"Welcome my friends to my special battle for you all today," said a woman entirely in red "today is a battle that you all might not like too much. Today one of you is going to face Akira kurusu in battle."

"Now I know that right now he is on his hands and knees trying his best to stand but trust me this is the best way for him to gain muscle mass for scientific reasons I will explain later. But right now the rules of this matchup, the first rule is: if the person selected for this fight does not fight at full strength the will immediately be disqualified and that person's team will officially be kicked out of this school." said the woman in red "the second rule is simple and likely the most important is: cheating in this is legal! In battle, Grimm will not only resort to underhanded tactics to win but they will not back down in the slightest."

suddenly the screen to show aura flashed with the face of the person unlucky enough to get selected for this horror show and that person was Pyrrha Nikos.

Pyrrha wore her red hair in a waist-length ponytail, curled slightly into a loose ringlet. She also wore light-green eyeshadow around the far upper corners of her green eyes. She was tall and quite muscular compared to most of the other girls at Beacon and currently, her emerald eyes were in shock.

"Why me miss Lovecraft?" asked Pyrrha

"Don't ask me it was the randomizer that picked you." said Lovecraft "and don't worry about what will happen to him, he will be fine."

As Pyrrha made her way to the arena she noticed the boy she had to fight started to move toward the obvious wheelchair that was placed there and as soon as he grabbed it rolled out from under him… it was like hell seeing someone she should be helping be helpless to what was about to happen.

'God damn it why did I sign up for this?' she asked 'damn this special class'

Finally, she made it to the arena to see he was finally standing with the wheelchair as a makeshift crutch and his eyes… the looked dead like for the first time in a long time he had opened them… but they did not look scornfully or sad the looked like acceptance filled them to the brim and capped it with a hint of resistance. It was strange. He should hate her. But no, it looked like he didn't have the strength to hate.

"I hope that we can get along after this." asked Pyrrha "but I can't hold back."

"Good," said Akira his voice sounding like he hasn't spoken for years with his voice being coarse and rough "I am not going to hold back either."

"ARE YOU READY TO FIGHT?"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"FIGHT"

(play last surprise Taku Takahashi Remix)

At the sound of the bell, Pyrrha launched toward Akira only for Akira to blindside her with the wheelchair only for the wheelchair to be blocked by her shield but that was not the only thing she was doing. At that moment Akira used the momentum that he would have to jump on Pyrrha's shield and launch himself upward allowing to jump over her and bypass her defenses with two round kicks to the back before falling to the ground to dodge a slash from Pyrrha.

"Hey what do you know, I feel great!" said Akira before going in and sweeping Pyrrha only for her to use her shield to put that leg out of commission thanks to the fact that it was now trapped by the shield.

"Well that's good but I need you to stay down for a sec.," said Pyrrha as she shifted her lance into a marlin 336 lever-action rifle

"Oh no you don't," said Akira as he ripped the shield from the ground and blocked the oncoming fire from her gun "ok remind me to invest in something like that."

Suddenly Akira started running toward the customary classroom curtains and started climbing up them with a little bit of effort (hey anyone would have a problem in that scenario.) and as soon as he made it to the steel beam that was holding it up he started running along the beam. What was Pyrrha doing during all this? Simple. She was reloading her rifle so then she could take potshots at him at his attempt to escape from her firing at him (which she could not blame him for) and as she took aim she noticed something different about him and it may have been the distance but she could have sworn that his eyes were red for a second but she fired and it was a direct hit… or was it

CLICK

"Nice shot."

She turns to see Akira in his thief attire and an obsidian black high caliber pistol being aimed right at her face with a dust powered lance/knife in his other hand.

"I suggest that you bow down to me in surrender and let me get to my friends already." said Akira "deal?"
Five grueling minutes passed by like two seconds for the two but Pyrrha knew her answer and she knew that she would lose if she continued… but she had to, she had to know more about a person that could seemingly have the power to rival hers in a matter of seconds even when crippled to an extent says something about his power and he did not even unveil it all.

And then she fell on her hands and knees and three words came out of her mouth once she hit the ground.

"Of course master," said Pyrrha

And that is the only time the 20 students that went to the special class ever heard Pyrrha Nikos bow to a man that none of them knew personally but all of them knew by pure power alone.

And it felt strange to anyone else anytime after.

and that's that and note I really had fun writing this one because this is arguably one of the best fight scenes I have written so that's a plus. but next time an explanation on how the hell Akira got his limbs back and what the hell is this special class that Pyrrha is a part of, find out next time! but before I sign off for good I have to thank all of you for your support over the course of the whole thing and if you want to help even more please go to my patron but remember all donations are never required but always appreciated but i am required to put this at the end of these (don't know why) and make sure to leave you criticisms in the review section and with that out of the way DFTBA!
