Lucy ran with a speed that seemed to come out of nowhere at Cardin and she pulled on the handle protruding from her gauntlet to reveal a weapon that actually seemed more like a tool one would use in a forest than a weapon to use on the grimm or, more presently, Cardin. It was a blade the size of a machete that was serrated up the blade until a few inches from the end where it went into a diagonal edge. Cardin raised his mace up to bring it down in a devastating blow but as he brought it down he was not expecting Lucy to duck and jab with her weapon, not at him but rather through the hole in his mace, between the blades and the handle. She then used her right arm, her sword arm, being pushed down by Cardin as a pivot to get her legs up in the air. She was now mid-air with her back facing her foe when her legs wrapped around his head, pulling downwards with a spin that sent him hurtling to the floor. Cardin just managed to hit the floor with his shoulder which allowed him a roll instead of just face planting. As he straightened up from his roll he swung his mace slightly just to get rid of any extra momentum.
It was only when he heard a clattering on the floor behind him that he realised the move had cost Lucy a weapon as it had remained ensnared in his mace. He only realised that he had been looking behind him when he heard surprisingly light, yet still audible footfalls in front of him. He spun in a wide arc that would have brought it to the side of his opponent's head if she had not halted her run before she reached him. The lack of something to halt his momentum would have caused Cardin to go into a spin had he not been interrupted by a right fist colliding with the underside of his chin, his opponent had taken his swing as an opportunity to launch an uppercut from a crouching jump. She then ran at his stumbling form with her gauntlet clad arm bent in front of her face like a shield and used it to knock him off of his feet. He swung his mace wildly trying to stabilise himself but all that succeeded in doing was loosening it from his grip and launching it into the air where Lucy caught it with ease with her left arm and swung around in a full clockwise rotation that landed a strike on his head and sent him flying into the aura barrier around the arena. Cardin's aura was now just above half yet Lucy's hadn't even been scratched. Lucy then rolled her shoulders and went to pick up the weapon she had discarded earlier while Cardin picked himself up.
While her back was turned, Cardin ran at his opponent with one fist raised and hadn't noticed that in her crouched position over her weapon, she had one elbow in front of her ready to bring back into his gut. As she hit she also raised her other arm and grabbed his collar to launch him into a flip onto the floor where she then slashed at him twice with her weapon that he blocked haphazardly with his forearms. Lucy then halted her third strike to look up at his aura before smirking and just bringing her heel down onto his nose that ended the match.
"Well then students," Miss Goodwitch said as she strode onto the stage. "That was the last match of the day. As you can see, Mr Winchester's aura has dropped into the red yet Miss Violet's aura is still left unscathed. This match just goes to show that you must always watch your opponent and not underestimate them as shown by what Mr Winchester assumed would be an easy target when his opponent had her back turned. Now please exit the arena in a calm an orderly fashion and change into your uniform."
Ruby watched as Lucy leapt off the stage and towards her companion before coming to a stop and scowling.
"Hey, I did that in nine hits like I told you, put that thumb down."
Her companion raised his ten fingers in front of her face. "Well I say otherwise and you can't prove it so why don't we just compromise and say that I am correct?"
"Because that is complete bullc-" Lucy looked around to see that the class was staring. "Because that is complete rubbish. Cardin went down in nine hits. Anyway, this doesn't matter because I know that I am correct, we need to talk to a person about things and stuff."
The man nodded in agreement before clasping her bracelet back onto her arm "Things and stuff." And he held the door open with his right arm, bowing as he did so.
"It's good to see you are finally treating me like the royalty I am, Drake." Lucy stated as she walked out of the door.
Ruby walked with her team down the halls of the dorms as she drew closer to her soft, warm, welcoming bed. The team were talking about the fight in the cafeteria yesterday and Yang was still complaining about how Nora cheated by using that steel pole as part of the watermelon hammer when Blake held her arms out to her sides and stopped walking, unwillingly almost groping Yang and Weiss before shushing them.
"Blake, what's up?" Ruby questioned.
"Ruby, look at the door…"
Ruby looked down the hall towards the door that was only ten feet away at this point and she could see a ray of light emerging from where the door was open.
"Blake, I don't see it? What's wrong?"
"Ruby… Who has a key to our dorm?"
"Only us, why?"
"Who closed our door?"
"Me…"
"So the question is, who is in our room?"
Blake quietly drew Gambol shroud as Weiss drew Myrtenaster, Yang activated Ember celica and Ruby put Crescent rose into shotgun form as they all crept towards the door. Ruby planted her left hand on the wood and slowly pushed it open to find that the two people who had entered their combat class unannounced were sitting on the space between the beds and playing a game of cards. Lucy looked towards the now open door and quickly stood up, drawing her weapon from her gauntlet while her friend, Drake, was still sitting on the floor and was just gazing lazily at them.
Ruby looked at them with her weapon aimed at Lucy. "What are you doing here? How did you get in here?"
The two intruders just looked at each other confused before Lucy put her weapon away.
"Didn't you girls get a message from-" Lucy was interrupted by the buzzing of team RWBY's scrolls.
The team looked at each other and Yang reached into her breast pocket on her jacket and withdrew her scroll and relaxed as she read the message. She then showed her scroll to the rest of her team who each in turn relaxed as they read 'Team RWBY, for the rest of this semester your dorm will be occupied by two new students, Lucy Violet and Drake Jade. You are encouraged to temporarily incorporate them into your training and maybe even your team if two teammates are not found for them an airbed has been delivered to them and we hope that this is not too much of an inconvenience for you.'
So, basically I wrote the first chapter then forgot that this existed and lost all motivation to write it, so yah
