Evan adjusts his Fingers and Shuts the platings on his hand. He Couldn't get a hard light projecter for a Blade to work but he could get his ring finger remade to Cast Hard light Platforms to stand on.
In theory at least. Apparently it was made from a scrapped ring that would do something similar. "This thing better work for me." He says to himself.
He looks to Jaune who was Busy hiding in the locker. "Dude get out of there. She won't find you here." Evan says. "Don't doubt her man. Besides I'm not hiding. I'm Changing into something."
"Is this about that grease burn. Dude I'm sorry." Evan says. "Its not that. Just something I found on my back I don't want people to see yet." Jaune says.
"Wait really?" He asks. "Yeah. Anyways." Jaune confirms. He comes out the locker to reveal he was in his combat attire.
All of it handmade mind you. His Sweater was Put over a Shirt of Copper chainmail attached to a Breastplate and Back plate.
His Shirt had A layer Of Metal from cut Pop cans placed on it and double layered with Wool and a fabric outer coat.
His pants had the same pop can metal layered on the inside for light protection and has copper chainmail intermixed in. over the belt was a Kama made of leather and fitted with wide body washers riveted on. a Layer of the Copper chainmail under it as the fur lining on the trim makes it pop out.
His Combat boots have a Steel bar bolted on the heel with more than enough bolts in it. His Breastplate was made of diamond treaded steel folded and Welded to resemble armor.
His Sword and Shield were the the only things to not be made of scrap. His helmet meanwhile clearly had the most care done to it. It resembled a crusader's helmet in shape with a Grill over the eyes. The mouth was fitted with a Mask piece to enhance breathing and could open up to let Jaune Eat or drink something. on the sides of the helmet were two gears welded flat against the helmet and then two mechanical Ear like Antenna attached to the helmet that move around and work as a communicator.
All the Armor was spraypainted into a white with gold trim color scheme. Using black stripes to contrast the white.
"Damn dude. Where were you hiding this?" Evan asks admiring Jaune's Handiwork.
"I make commisioned Cosplay armor for people to earn some money. I was able to make this with some help from dad and disguise it as a commission from the others. I got the idea that I should work on protection first." Jaune says.
"I see. Remind me to give your dad a Handshake for helping you with this." Evan says.
"Got it. Anyways I'm ready. You?" Jaune asks.
"Yeah. Can't believe Cardin made this a Double's Fight though." Evan comments.
His Attire was also home made similar to Jaune's. Only he had better materials to use. He wore a Bomber's jacket with added coat tails. Under the lining with cloth with gravity dust weaved into it and a small layer of Steel wire chainmail. His jacket also had a blue Fur collar to contrast the black jacket.
His sleeves were cut off for a pair of Denim sleeves scrapped from denim pants to be attached.
His pants themselves had A Diagonal cut going inwards starting near the knees and ending at the lip where a cut Piece of Denim was stitched on. Contrasting the gray color to the pants and complimenting the black stripes added on.
His Combat boots had the bar set all around the rubber sole and was bolted on to make a pair of Curb stomb mods. the Added gravity dust crystal in the sole and heel gives the curbstomb more impact.
His Hand has a Single Black fingerless glove with an Extended middle finger. leaving only the tip to poke out. His Thumb was cut out making a big hole and an entire chunk of the golve was also cut off removing the pinky and ring finger in place for a big hole.
He wore a Skin tight mask over his jaw and nose that had a Hole for his mouth and a hole for his Nostrils to poke out of. Over that was an Attachable mask hooked over the cloth mask that had a Steel Cover go over his nose. The Metal jaw like design could open up to reveal Bladed teeth and Open with His mouth for biting attacks. His Eyes where covered by a Visor that had Hard light dust in it to light up with and show expressive eyes. This was also a Mini computer for him as the Earpieces to the visor acted as Antenna for him.
"Knowing him He probably though he could get one up over you." Jaune says.
"He probably knows that the spell will apply to allies when he gets his own ally." Evan says as they stand on the Elevator. It rises and Lifts them up to reveal they were now in a Giant arena full of Shifting Gravity platforms and a perpetually covered in a light mist ready to become thicker at a moment's notice.
On the other side of the arena was Cardin in his armor holding his weapon over his shoulder. Joined by a Girl who was glari g at Jaune.
"Oh no. Its my big sister Violet." Jaune complains.
Violet was an Aspiring huntress who doesn't want Jaune to follow in her footsteps. She held a longsword over her shoulder and Had on a set of gold trimmed purple armor.
"That's not good." Evan says.
He didn't get time to worry though as a white Crystal platform flew above them and the Arena. On top of that platform was a Woman dressed in an announcer's getup.
She was actualy made of crystal giving her hair the look of Diamond crystal. She had an Androgynous appearance and wore A Black vest over a White shirt. She wore a dress skirt over a pair of Dress pants that matched her dress shoes.
"Everyone! Welcome to today's Double Team match!" She declares to a camera following her.
Joan Growled recognizing the boy that her son is nearby. A friend of his that she seriously disapproves. That hybrid Faunus.
She does recognize her daughter as the Announcer continues.
"Today's Double match will be an Interesting match today. For the challengers, Evan Kamada Rowe and Cardin Winchester, have decided to cast Ascente to settle there score. And as you know it will apply to partners. These two partners are a regular visitor and a Newbie to Amity Station." she says.
Ruby Sat in a Seat with Nora while Qrow stands aside to watch. Yang and Inosuke were watching from their waiting rooms. "Dammit Evan." Yang comments. Taiyang sighs but cheers for Evan regardless.
"Everyone give a hand of applause for Jaune and Violet Arc!" She says. A Crystal microphone comes up to the two. "As per the rules. You must state your Conditions if you win this match. Jaune?" She asks.
"My only request is for my family to quit coddling me like a baby and support my dreams of becoming a Huntsman." Jaune says. His right hand Ignites in blue flames. "Ooh! Bold." She says. "Anything to say to that?" She asks Violet. "I just want my baby bro to forget his stupid dreams and quit trying to be a -
Huntsman." Violet says.
Watchers began to ooo at this. Meanwhile a Blue flame ignites on her hand. A similar flame is sparked on Joan's forehead. Ascente is not to be trifled with.
"Ooo! A Sibling dispute! I like it! Alright! The conditions have been set then! With this declared I Hereby allow this Ascente condition to pass. Jaune, Violet. If you would?" she asks.
"Ascente/Ascente." They sync. The flames dispel and a lock made of magic Clamps down onto their hearts.
"Now! Let's get started with the battle! Fighters! Are you ready?" She shouts.
"Let's kick some ass Arc." Evan declares tossing up a Saber and catching it. All the while he spin in place throwing a playing card in front of him to cut in half.
"Right! Ready when you are!" Jaune declares Unsheathing his sword and getting into a Stance. he slams his blade against his shield twice and Crouches to put himself in his stance.
"This'll be too easy." Cardin sneers. Cracking his knuckles and twirling Executioner. Having it land and rest on his shoulder.
"Just stay out my Way Winchester." Violet replies twirling her sword and putting it into a reverse grip in her one hand.
"Get set! Get Ready! FIGHT!" She announces.
(Play Battle OST: Tooth and Claw by Brandon Yates.)
Evan Jumped and felt his personal gravity begin to shift as he lands on the sideways platform to his left. He Flaps his wings with each jump as the mist begins to increase in volume.
Cardin Jumps after home While Jaune and Violet stare at each other. The mist blocks Violet from Jaune and She Jumps straight for him.
Jaune raises his shield and blocks a Stab for him. Angling his Shield so the sword Embeds itself into the floor so he can slam Violet down with his sword. She tanks it and Slashes upwards.
The screen cuts to Cardin swinging his Mace and hittine Evan's Blade.
Evan Growls as the platform rises and they find themselves upside down.
Evan Stepped back to reel back his arm and thrusts his blade. It Is suddenly hooked through the gaps in Cardin's Mace and He pulls. Cardin presses a switch to reveal an extending chain that prevents it from being taken out of his grip while Evan attacks.
Meanwhile Jaune and Violet are constantly swinging their blades. Chipping away at each other. Jaune Was more focused while Violet was more violent.
She Suddenly spins in place having her Blade Hook under Crocea Mors and his shield to Disarm him with one fell swing. Both weapons clattering to the floor.
She would have swung if not for Jaune Punched her in the face hard.
She Staggers almost dropping her blade as she cradles her cheek. She looks to see in a Boxer's stance.
"Just because I don't got a Weapon doesn't mean I can't fight." He says. His Metal plates on his Glove's backhands glow purple. Violet recognizes that glow.
"Gravity dust?" She asks while Dodging Jaune's fast and quick punches. "You can't thank dad for the dust supply. I weaved as much gravity dust into my clothes making them weighted and Armored to no end. Just try to break my armor." He taunts. He Crane kicks and the camera flashes white to show Evan Staggering back.
His visor was Broken and Torn as Cardin got a Swing in at his face. "Mother fucker." He hisses.
His tail rattles in anger.
"Ready to admit defeat now?" Cardin asks. "Hell no." Evan Chuckles. He tears off the visor and Switches his blade to his Mechanical hand.
He Stands up and points his blade. "En' Guarde!" He yells.
He Stabs and Cardin uses his armor to block it and twists his wrists to slam Executioner into Evan's head. Using his Semblance to activates the Dust Crystal.
Smoke fills the air and the mist is spread out but When it clears Evan it seen Stopping the weapon with a Blue Crystal Helmet. (A/N: Think The latest iteration of Jasper's helmet from Steven Universe and turn it to a Blue color scheme.)
Evan Smirks As he Kicks Cardin in the chin and Roundhouse kicks him into the nearest platform. He flaps his wings and flies to him ready to attack.
He swung down as the camera cuts to Ruby and Nora holding their hands as they watch the fight. "Oh. I hope They'll win." Ruby says.
"Trust me. He'll win." Qrow comments. Only to almost spittake when Evan is knocked to the lower end of the platform. Clearly about to fail. Evan Coughs up spit and Barely twitches his Hands. Just as he was about to be eliminated a Thin Platform made of Hard light forms under him.
Meanwhile Cardin smirks as he stood on the side platform looking at Evan. "So you got a New trick? Big whoop. Still won't stop me from winning." He says.
Evan Gets up and Unlocks his Jaw for it to open. He exhales and a blue mist comes out. He Looks to Jaune to see him Struggling to hold He Twitched his hands and Crystal claws formed over his Fingers and Talon toes. He Throws his Saber and It sails towards the duo.
The saber Implaes Right at Violet's Feet startling her and letting her guard down Enough for Jaune to give an Uppercut.
He Grabs the Saber and slashes at her taking a chunk of Aura out. the blade coated in flaking blue crystal.
"I hate using this power because it eat my Aura up. But the pros are much better than the cons." Evan Spoke. He Roars and Jumps up to slash his claws at Cardin. Cardin Attempts to block but his mace head was slashed apart by Evan's claws.
He looked on in shock as he watches in slow motion his opponent get one up on him.
"Yeah! Beat his ass Evan!" Inosuke cheers.
Evan Soon began to beat Cardin with his crystal claws as they began to crack away and tear apart Cardin's aura and armor.
Meanwhile Jaune Finally eliminated His sister by aura depletion. Joan Shouts in defiance as he jumps and screams when he and Evan double team Cardin.
Cardin screams and Activates his semblance onto himself. Using up aura and The gravity dust in his armor to Destroy said armor and Eliminate Jaune and knock Evan back into gravity platform.
Evan Got up on his hands and knees to wince in pain from his wing being bruised.
He looks to the scoreboard and see's his and Cardin's Aura in the red. One final blow will decide this.
His Crystal claws and Helmet were shattered now and Using it again would pull him out.
"Ready to give up?" Cardin asks. "Hell no." Evan Says. Cardin holds up his broken mace and Stabs the Dust crystal into a Decent sized chunk of rubble. The entire stone chunk sets aflame as the chain deploys. He begins to swing the chain around while Evan Deploys his Gun hand.
He Fires all eight shots but Cardin used his New mace to block each bullet.
He fires but his hand clicks showing no Ammo.
He scowls and Yipes as he quickly dodges flaming shrapnel being thrown at him.
He Flicks his tail with unwavering strength to fire all the quills out. Cardin Blocks most of them but one lucky quill got his eye. Evan Used that distraction to run towards Jaune's Fallen sword and pick it up.
Meanwhile the mist thickens up again. Cardin's new mace head was a Ball of Dripping magma thanks to the gravity dust in the rubble he used and his fire dust crystal. He Pulls the quill out of his eye and Looks around pissed off now.
He Swings his flail when something is thrown but the magma disperses when a Deploying shield is struck. It falls to the floor while Evan Snuck behind him. Cardin twists and uses his chain to hit Evan. But it wraps around Crocea mors as Evan holds a Broken piece of his saber blade. He slashes and Broke Cardin's Aura. His Head is suddenly engulfed in blue flames utterly harmless as a lock tattoo is burned onto his back.
Joan and Violet did the same as Ascente activated.
"And that's the Match!" The Announcer states. When she did a lot of watchers cheer for Evan and Jaune.
Evan Chuckles as he Falls down. He drops down as the gravity platforms are disengaged.
And Scene.
