Two Vs. Two
Jaune wore his coat over the light armour he decided to wear that fight. Pyrrha was next to him hand on his shoulder "Are you ready Jaune?"
"Is that even a question?" Jaune smiled as he kissed her cheek. Pyrrha smiled and they readied themselves for the upcoming fight.
The doors opened and the cheers from the stands boomed as Pyrrha and Jaune walked into the arena.
"Out comes one of the most promising huntsmen in training, leader of his team Jaune Arc! Next to him the golden girl of Beacon Academy, the three time Mistral Tournament champion, Pyrrha Nikos!"
Both the teens waved at the massive crowd. However not getting complacent and thinking of it as an easy fight. Out the other entrance came out the same boy with black and slicked back hair.
He carried with him a one-handed sword, and in the holster on his left side was an ivory colored gun. Azul Theodore, of Shade and next to him; the same faunus girl.
She was wearing her red rimmed glasses, her ears were flattened on her head, she wielded two metal gauntlets which covered her fist up to her elbow, it has intricate patterns and was colored silver. She looked nervous.
"Two of the most notable students from Shade as well! Azul Theodore, the number one genius of Shade! And his teammate Cecily Greene!"
The Shade students made noise, along with some other people from other schools to show support. Even though only a few people cheered the cheer itself was still thunderous.
"Let's have a good fight" Azul put his hand forward to shake Jaune's hand
Jaune took it and smiled "Yeah" Jaune looked at the nervous Cecily "Is she going to be okay?"
Azul smiled "Yeah she'll be fine"
"Fighters to your positions! The terrain randomizer will start " Peter Port said as the many elemental emblems rolled.
"This is unprecedented, no terrain? " Port said with a quizzical expression.
"Indeed, there were only two fights which were not set in any terrain. One was last year and the other was fought by Beacon's very own, team STRQ" Bartholomew Oobleck stated
Jaune shrugged "Just means no cheese, yeah?"
Azul smiled "I was thinking the same thing"
Both teams took their sides, and the loud "Begin" echoed throughout the stadium. Jaune and Pyrrha stood their ground, moving closer with their guards up.
Azul and Cecily were also probing their opponents with movement until Jaune leapt forward with a slash with his two handed blade that materialized from Aether.
With quick reactions, Azul blocked the strike and quickly deflected it. Jaune jumped back.
Cecily noticed that Pyrrha was circling around and decided to meet her halfway with a jumping punch. Pyrrha saw this and jumped out of the way as where she was standing before was now a crater.
"Nice dodge" Cecily said a little bit more confidently.
"Thank you, that was a nice strike" Pyrrha said as she began running and both fighters exchanged blows, Pyrrha blocking some punches while steadily pushing Cecily back.
Cecily wasn't taking it laying down though, she was also defending herself with quick movement and counter attacks.
Jaune and Azul were steadily probing each other "Seems the girls are having fun eh?" Azul said as he raised his weapon.
Jaune smiled "Let's let loose and show em what we're made of "
Azul was confident in his ability, it was that of a slightly experienced huntsman, he activated his speed semblance. He started pressuring Jaune with strikes and slashes.
Jaune however was still holding back, he was waiting for a good opportunity. The commentators were all over the place talking about the fight.
The cameras were on the two boys who were moving at mach speeds. Ruby was watching and even she was amazed at their agility and speed.
She didn't know Jaune could move like that, reguardless she cheered. Jaune wasn't having trouble fighting Azul however, he could follow the movements.
Jaune deflected a strike the wrong way and left himself wide open. Azul saw this chance and went for a heavy and damaging blow. At this point Jaune's aura bar was at about 85% still in the green.
As the blow was about to connect Jaune blocked and deflected the slash and struck back with his own heavy slash. It connected and Azul was thrown far.
Azul's shields were lowered to yellow, a little bit more and it would be over. Jaune started walking toward him.
Unlike the slightly one-sided fight Jaune and Azul were having. Pyrrha and Cecily were playing it slightly more even. This is due to the fact that Cecily herself is a championship fighter as well.
"Wait... Now that I remember, Cecily Theodore of Vacuo? " Pyrrha asked in the middle of attack.
"Yes..." Cecily said as she knew what Pyrrha was talking about.
"I wasn't able to fight you in the Mistral tourney!" Pyrrha said smiling as she disengaged.
"Well, my mother was sick I couldn't attend" she said
Pyrrha smiled "How is she?"
"She's fine, anyway back to fighting" Cecily said
Pyrrha nodded and they continued their dance of blades and fists. Cecily did a one two combo against Pyrrha and Pyrrha deflected both strikes.
Since Cecily was using her fists the deflect had little effect on her as she flipped from the momentum of the deflect and threw out a strong haymaker strengthened by her semblance.
Pyrrha blocked and was thrown a few feet and it took a bit from her aura, from 80% to 70% which was nearing yellow however still green.
Both of them were around that aura percentage and the battle was getting interesting.
Jaune knew they would win this, what he didn't expect was the difficulty. These students were very strong, he was surprised.
"Let's finish this" Jaune said
"I was thinking the same thing" Azul said as he pulled out his revolver and started shooting.
Jaune deflected each bullet shot as he walked forward. He started sprinting, Azul ran forward as well.
Jaune twirled his sword and it disappeared and turned into the one handed Corcea Mors and one of his repeaters.
Jaune slashed his sword and was blocked by Azul but on his side, Jaune shot the repeater. Azul dodged but re-engaged quickly after with a flurry of slashes and gunshots.
Jaune was blocking and weaving making sure he didn't get hit. Jaune took some distance, Azul was still shooting.
Jaune rushed forward as soon as Azul was using an automatic reloader for his gun on his glove. Jaune kept slashing with reckless abandon as Azul was getting pushed back.
Azul stuck the gun at Jaune's abdomen "Its over" he said as he pulled the trigger
"Yeah it is" Jaune said as he was suddenly behind Azul with his blade on Azul's neck.
Azul smiled with his head down and put his arms up. "Azul Theodore concedes"
Jaune smiled and walked out as well "What's this? Jaune Arc is out of bounds! Only Pyrrha and Cecily are in the arena. "
Azul pulled Jaune's shoulder in annoyance "Why did you do that? Pity?" he asked
Jaune shook his head "I don't want to get near that" Jaune pointed and both girls were fighting at a quick pace. Both clearly practiced and unbelievably strong.
"Huh, makes sense" Azul said and he sat with Jaune at the out of bounds area.
"Here" Jaune said as he covered his palm with aura and helped raise Azul's aura
"Thanks" Azul said as they both watched the girls fight.
Cecily was getting visibly weary, but she wasn't giving up yet.
"Hrah!" she shouted as she threw out a heavy punch which threw Pyrrha a little bit.
Pyrrha smiled and threw her javelin at the girl. Cecily unexpectedly caught it.
However, this didn't make a difference for Pyrrha who bashed Cecily with her shield and got her javelin back.
Cecily was stunned and Pyrrha kept going, chipping away Cecily's aura. Cecily knew she had to do something or it was going to be game over.
So while Pyrrha pulled back her spear for another quick strike, Cecily threw her fist forward and grasped the spear; throwing it out of bounds.
They were close to the edge anyway so it was anyone's game. Cecily believed it was over and threw her fist forward again.
Pyrrha dropped her shield to Cecily's surprise. Pyrrha ducked under her arm and threw her off the stage.
The crowd cheered loudly. Azul caught Cecily and Jaune climbed up and raised his hands with Pyrrha.
"Jaune and Pyrrha win their 2 vs 2 matches!" the commentators said loudly.
Jaune took a shower after the match and lo and behold he met Azul in the shower rooms.
"Nice fight man" Jaune smiled
"Yeah, both of you are incredibly strong" Azul said as he was using washing his hair.
"You both did well too. Not meaning to brag but we are two of the strongest first years" Jaune said
"Hmm thats understandable" Azul shrugged
Both boys finished their showers and were dressed up again. They met up with the girls "You guys wanna eat lunch?" Jaune asked Azul.
"Sure" Azul said and Cecily nodded
