Kairi's keyblade was much more different than sora's. For one it was more colorfull with colors like white, orange, red and blue. It's handle was shaped more like a heart than a trapazoid, the stem had plant roots leading up to some flowers where Sora's crown was, and the little keychain at the end looke like a plant that looked like a star
"Aw come on!" Jaune shouted "You have one of those keyblade things to?"
"Yes" Kairi answered "All 4 of us have keyblades. Sora's is called the Kingdom Key and mine is called Destiny's Embrace"
Those last 2 sentances had the class chatting. All 4 members have keyblades?! Why do all of the have keyblades?!
Kairi could see that Jaune's knees were shaking a little "Don't worry. You're in luck. I'm not as experienced as Sora so i won't be as hard to fight"
Jaune sighed in relief "Well don't think I'll hold back than just because your a girl" He said, regaining the confidence he had before he found out about SKRL's weapons
"I won't back down either!"
The 2 got into a battleposition with jaune readying his shield and sword
"Begin when ready" Goodwitch said
(insert kh2.5 sinister sundown)
Jaune charged at Kairi, preforming a powerfull slash at her. Kairi got hurt, so she returned a favor bu jumping behind Jaune and slashed him in the back, causing him to fall face first to the ground. He got up and the 2 engaged in a clash. Once it broke, Kairi tried to slash at Jaune, but the leader of JNPR readied his shield to guard him against the attack and counter attack with his foot. Kairi tried to slash jaune again, but he side steped away. This left him ungurded however, so Kairi gave a combo just like sora's and Jaune retaliated with 2 powerful swings at kairi, who was feling a little tired. The audience was enjoying this fight. It wasn't as epic as Sora and Ruby's, but it was still very interesting to see these 2 fight. Pyrrha was probably the most excited in the entire room
"I knew jaune training with me would pull off!" She told her friends "He's winning!
"Well Kairi did say she wasn't as experienced" Weiss, cold and emtionlessly interjected "So Jaune probably got a week oponent"
"Wow Weiss!" Yang told her teammate "You just can't bring yourself to liking anything about Jaune, ca-"
"However" Weiss raised her hand infont of Yang "I must say i'm impressed. I deffinatly see improvement. Good job Pyrrha
Pyrrha blushed slightly at the Schnee aris's complement "Thanks"
"Don't think your friend has this in the bag just yet"
the 2 teams looked at the 3 boys of SKRL in confusiton. More specificly they looked at the one who said that, Sora
"Kairi may not be as stong as me, but she still has a few tricks up her sleve. We all do"
This worried the 2 teams, especialy Phyrra. They looked back at the fight. Jaune and Kairi gave eachother swing after swing, both getting even more tired and both were also panting. Eventually Kairi was on her knees from exsation. Jaune looked at the screen to see their auras. He was at 36%, but kairi was at 25%. Just a few more swings and Kairi wouldn't have enough aura to go on
"Looks (pant) like (pant) your (pant) getting tired" Jaune told the amburn hair girl
"Yeah" Kairi replied as she also panted "let's (pant) fix that (pant) shall we?"
"Hu?"
Jaune was confused when Kairi said that. Kairi, though she struggled to, got up holding her keyblade high to the sky
"Curaga!"
A green light emerged from the destiny's embrace covering kairi. She than proceded like she reived no damage what so ever, and now jaune was the one getting tired. he blocked quite a few of kairi's hits but still managed to get hit a few times. Jaune looked at the sceen to see how much aura he had left, and was shocked at how much Kairi had. 75% compared to his 27% and lowering. Jaune didn't know how she did it, but that cure-whatever healed her up nicely. Kairi once again held her keyblade high but didn't do what she did last time
"Light!"
A bright light emerged blinding jaune and kairi put all her strength and gave the final blow. Jaune felt a powerful horizontal slash knock him to the floor
(end sinister shutdown)
"And that's the match" Goodwitch said "Mr. Arc, that was probably your best fight in quite some time"
"But i still lost" Jaune told the profeser
"Maybe, but you should focus on what you were able to do rather than what you couldn't do" After Jaune gave Goodwitch a nod, her attention was on Kairi "As for you, Kairi, that was an excelent victory. I'm sure that we'll able to have you win a fight without having to use your healing abilities"
"Thank you profeser" Kairi nodded and helped Jaune up
The 2 went to go back up to there seats. Kairi sat next to sora who congradulated her with a hug. Jaune, rubbing his eyes from the light, also sat next to his team and friends
"Man! How was she able to do that?" Jaune asked his friends
"Sora reflected my shots!" Ruby her fellow leader "I think these keyblades can do more than we thought!"
"It's ok jaune" Pyrrha comferted her partner and put her hand on his solder "You still pulled up a great fight"
Jaune smiled at phyrra's comment, as miss goodwitch started talking again, more spacificly to riku and lea
"Now which of you 2 would like to-"
"I'll go" Lea said as he raised his hand
"Very well than. Let's find you an opponent Lea"
Glynda looked at her roll in her scroll once again. She raised an eye brow in curiosity at one she stopped at
"Miss Xiao Long, would you liketo go up next?"
"Sure" Yang told her current teatcher "I'll be happy to do so"
The 2 got down from their seats. Lea stood at his respective spot, waiting for Yang to get ready. Yang excited the locker room, walked up to her side of the arena, and got her ember celicas ready
"Ah, i see your more close up than those other 2, hu?" Lea pointed it out
"Yep" Yang replied "I hope your ready hot head!"
"Hot head? the name's Lea. Got it memorized?" Lea pointed to his head as Yang rolled her eyes
"Whatever. Are you ready or not?"
"Oh I am, but seeing how i'm sure your the smallist bit sick of seeing these keys everywhere, I'm giving you a choise between my 2 weapons
all the students were surprised when he said 2 weapons
"What? No way you have 2 weapons!" /yang argued with the robed boy "A huntsman and huntress is only allowed 1!"
"Well, i'm the exception. So do you want me to use my own keyblade, or see something more... unique?"
Yang refused to belive that, unless this second weapon is just a second part of his keyblade, he couldn't possibly have 2 weapons. But she decided to let this guy do what he wants and said in a sarcastic tone:
"I'll choose this "second weapon" of yours" She used quote fingers when saying "Second weapon"
"Alright, but first my keyblade to show i'm not lying"
As Yang folded her arms waiting for Lea to blow it, lea summoned his keyblade. Unlike Sora and Kairi, who eminated a bright light when forging they're keyblades, when lea held out his hand fire sprouted his keyblade. the handle was shaped like some kind of wierd saw, as well did the keychain. the stem looked like an incredible fire that much like kairi's "destiny's embrace" went all the way to the edge of the keyblade. What was his keyblade's name? He wouldn't say
"Now for the eternal flames!"
Lea desummoned his keyblade and held his hands to his sides like he was trapped in a box. Strange zig-zag black lines start forming from both of Lea's shoulders, and when they reached the palm of his hands formed 2 wierd saws in the same chape as his keyblade's handle. 1 on each arm. Yang unfolded he arms and was completely speachless. The fact that this red head guy had 2 weapons got the students talking once again
"Did i bump my head harder than i thought?" Ruby asked her friends
They were just as confused as she was. How in the world could this guy have more than one weapon?
"Bu-How? He can't have 2 weapons! That's cheating!" Nora screamed
"It's not cheating Nora" Ren assured his friend " It's just... surprising"
"Ren's right" Weiss came in the conversation "Having 2 weapons is unlikely, but not impossible"
Yang was super shocked that Lea had 2 different weapons, but got into a fighting stance. Lea was holding one of his "eternal flames" seriously in his left hand, but was just spinning the other around like it was a toy instead of a tool to defend himself
"Begin when ready" Goodwitch said for the 3rd time
(insert kh2.5 the 13th struggle)
Lea started the fight by throwing one of his eternal flames at Yang, which had fire coming out of it like the tail on a comet, and Yang rolled away. However the saw came back like a boomerang and hit Yang behind her head and came back to Lea when it did. After rubbing her head, Yang fired come blasts of energy at Lea, who blocked the blasts with the other eternal flame. Lea than rushed over and charged at Yang, holding his saws and slash at the yellow beauty, who was succesfuly able to block the weapon and upercut counter attack Lea. Before he got the chance to get back, Yang blasted severel blasts each hitting Lea this time. Lea got over it fast and threw his eternal flame just like before, this time at a shorter range and was able to actually hit Yang. He did the exact same thing with his other, and when the 1st on came back he did the same thing again, and again, and again. When his attack stopped, Yang hit him incredibly hard in the stomache. After seeing Lea's expression to how powerful her puch was, Yang fired another blast sending Lea far back. lea was gasping with one hand on the floor trying to get up
"What's the matter?" Yang cockily asked "You can't go down that easily"
When those words came out of yang, she had realised that he couldn't be down so soon. She hit lea hard, sure, but to end the fight in just a miunet or 2? She looked at the aura gauges on the screen and she was right. She was at 81% while Lea was at 75%. More than enough to continue fighting
'What is he doing?' yang thought to herself and soon got her answer
She noticed on the ground that a ring of fire was forming literaly under her own 2 feet. She step dodged just in time as the ring soon bursted into a pillar of shocked the studens and especialy yang.
"BURN BABY!"
If the students were shocked now, they were beond shocked when a wall of fire covered both fighters in a giant ring
"Ok i think by now we know this guys's semblance is fire!" Jaune told his friends to try and find some missing Yang humor
"What's going on in there?!" Nora asked as she tried to lean in, but was pulled in by Ren
"Whatever is going on..." Weiss said as she looked at the screan "Things are looking bad for Yang"
The 2 teams looked at where Weiss pointed to at the screan, and were shocked
"Yang's aura is dropping fast!"
Blake was right. Yang's aura levels went from 70% to 60% to 50% and continued decreasing at high speeds while Lea's stayed at 75%
"How is she lossing so much aura in so little time?" Pyrha asked
"YANG COME ON!" Ruby tried to shout inside the fire arena "FIGHT BACK!"
Just than, a body flew twords the wall of the bleatchers. Lea. She stopped on contack and stood on the wall, just below his team members
"How's she holding up?" Sora asked
"Not to well" Lea replied "But you wouldn't do to well if you were in a ring of fire with the floor burning"
"Fair enough"
Lea shot himself back into the flames to fight his opponent. That part about the floor being on fire scared teams JNPR and RWBY a little. Especially Ruby and Blake
Yang wasn't holding up as well as she'd hope to. When Lea came back in the arena Yang tried to fire at the cloaked boy. But she missed due to the floor below her being on fire and lost her aim. Lea came up closed and kicked Yang high into the air. She landed on her back, feeling the heat of the floor almost make her shirt catch fire. Luckily it didn't, and Yang jumped at Lea to try and punch him. The fire theamed member of SKRL countered with 1 of his eternal flames. Yang tried to punch again, but Lea countered again over and over untill Lea pushed himself back. Surprising to Yang, her feat were toutching the fire wall as this happened. She jumped off the wall and succesfuly hit Lea as hard as she could in the gut, sending him back first to the ground. The floor suddenlt than had pillars of light emerge and suddenly the fire wall and floor were gone
The arena cleared and the students saw the 2 fire themed hunters both panting. Yang would celebrate her succesful distruction of the fire wall and the fact that she could move normaly on the floor once again, but she was to exhausted. She looked at the aura screan and gasped. In the short miunet she spent in that ring, she lost 41% percent of her aura from last she checked, only at 29% now. That one hit sent Lea's down to 46%. More than enough to finish Yang off. Which he did when Yang soon met with Lea coming up close, using his eternal flames up close to slice an X on yang. He than grabbed her leg, threw Yang in the air, and sent her back down using both of his eternal flames once again
(end the 13th struggle)
"And that's the match" Glynda said for the 3rd time this period
Yang simply layed on the floor, panting for air at the epic battle she just suffered. Lea helped Yang up and gave her a cocky smile, and Yang hapily gave one back, even though she didn't win. The 2 than turned to Profeser Goodwitch
"Miss Xiao Long" The stern teatcher decided to start with Yang first "I applaud you for how much power you had in how few hits you made, but in doing so, you left yourself wide open for Lea to attack you. Unless you combine that with your semblance, that won't be a good idea for you in future battles"
"Yes Profeser" Yang said as she looked at the floor"
"And Lea, that was most impressive with keeping your foe guessing on what to do next. You even had me fooled at your fake out untill i saw how much aura you had"
"Thank you. Profeser" The red haired victor said. Lea than turned to the other students "And i hope you all have that fight memorized!"
Many of the students nodded at Lea. Sora and Kairi simpy rolled their eyes
"However"
Lea turned back to the profeser, who looked a little angry
"Next time you use your keyblade! Master Yen Sid sent you to this-" Glynda stopped herself in her tracks. Like she was about to say something no one else should have known about "This...academy...to train your abilities with the keyblade!"
"Yeah yeah" Lea said nonchalantly as he walked back to his seat "It was a one time thing, alright? Won't happen again, blah blah blah"
Glynda growled at Lea's careless attitude. She went back to her sturness and adjusted her glasses. Yang went back to her seat with her team and friends. Riku got down to the stage up to miss goodwitch
"I asume I'm next?"
"Correct. We have just enough time for one more fight and it shall be yours" Glynda pulled up her roll "Why don't we have Miss Nikos come down?"
Pyrrha's face beamed. After seeing Sora's fight alone the spartain warrior wanted to fight these keyblade warriors. She got up and was prepaired to jump down
"Actually" Riku held up his hand, stopping Pyrrha from jumping "If it's alright, I'd like to fight her" Riku pointed at Blake, who was quite shocked
"M-me?!" Blake asked as she pointed to herself
"Yeah you. If that's alright profeser"
"Well i believe that Miss Nikos would be a better opponent, but if you wish to fight Miss Belladona than you may"
The profeser looked at the black haired girl. She nodded and landed right on her feet, like a cat. As she walked to the lockers, she looked at Riku. Pyrrha sat down in disapointment
"I wish i could have fought him" Pyrrha, sadly, said out loud "I really want to see what power these weilders have myself"
"Don't worry Pyrrha" Jaune rubbed his partner's back to cheer her up "I'm sure you'll get your chance to fight one of them"
Jaune's words made Pyrrha smile a great big smile and nodded back to her partner
"I'm sure you're one of the few students who actually wanted to fight them" Ren unterupted the 2
"What do you mean Ren?" Ruby asked from the far end of the row of teams RWBY and JNPR
"I mean i think a lot of people, including me, feel something...weird about this Riku guy"
Ruby looked around the room. From what she saw, Ren was right. Many of the students sighed in relief that they wern't fighting Riku. She looked back at the final member of SKRL and could see why. He felt like he was the most powerfull member of the new team and Ruby could feel this strang and powerful aura coming from the boy. As Ruby looked, she had this feeling she couldn't explain. A feeling of, not necicerally hate, but dislike. She could't tell why she had this feeling though
Ruby snapped out of her thoughts when Blake came out of the lockers. Her gambol shroud was put away as she got to the stage. She started pulling it out when she got to her side of the stage
"I can feel it"
Blake was interupted from getting her katana ready as Riku started to talk
"What?" The faunus in discuise asked
"Your heart" Riku continued "While it's not close yet, it's very slowly giving into the darkness"
"What are you talking about?"
Before The mysterious keyblade weilder said another word, Riku summoned his keyblade. however unlike the previous keyblades, this one looked the most like a sword and not to much like a key. the entire stem looked like a red and blue bat wing, and the handle looked like one white angle wing and one violet bat wing coliding with eachother. This keyblade also had an eye in between the handle and the stem, the tip of the keyblade had looked like a simple blue eagle's wing and the keychain looked like a black heart. The class was more confused about this keyblade's shape than the others
"That's a keyblade?" Weiss asked
"It just looks like a fancy sword to me" Yang said
"Well we can't exactly say we've seen keyblades before today" Pyrrha offered the thought "And we especialy can't say we are experts on what they look like"
"Trust us" Both teams turned to the rest of team SKRL "It may look like a sword, but Riku's road to the dawn functions like anyother keyblade"
"What, like it can open locks?" Nora asked
"Something like that, yeah"
Sora looked back at the readying battle, and the rest of the students followed suit
(insert rage awakened from kh2.5)
"I must ask" Riku said as he pointed his jeyblade at Blake "How long do you think you can hold on to your light?"
Blake finaly pulled out her sword, both of them getting into a similar battle position, waiting for miss goodwitch to give the word
"Begin when ready"
The 2 charged at eachother with a powerfull clash. Once it broke the 2 swung they're weapons at the same time multiple times performing and eligant sword play fight, neither landing one hit to the other. Riku started to gain on Blakeand do more fast slashes at the white fang run away, but she blocked or dodged all of Riku's attackes. Than she started to gain on Riku, slashing even faster, but Riku once again blocked all the attacks. Riku tried to hit Blake and would have if she didn't use her semblance to create a clone that took the hit for Blake. The real blake jumped high into the air behind riku and thrusted the gambol shroud at Riku, but he vanished into a small purple energy the rushed behind Blake, and the 2 got in another feirce clash
The audience was in awe. The fast movement of both this faunus and keyblade weilder was hard to keep up with. Everyone was surprised an excited on how this battle was turning out
"WHOA! LOOK AT THEM GO!" Nora screamed
"Did either of them even land a hit?" Jaune asked
"I don't think so" Ruby told her friend "I've never seen a fight so intence though"
"You can do it Riku!"
Teams RWBY and JNPR looked at Sora, Kairi and Lea, who were all quite impressed as well
"Come on Riku!" Kairi shouted "Show them what you can really do!"
"I've never seen anyone so equal to riku!" Lea said, than turned to Sora "Not even when he spars against you, Sora!"
"He's holding back"
Kairi, Lea, and teams RWBY and JNPR were surprised at what the leader of SKRL said
"What?!" Kairi asked
"I know how strong Riku is better than anyone. I know when he's holding back"
"But why is he holding back?"
"I don't know"
This amazed the other 2 teams. If he's holding back, than how powerful is this guy really? Their attentions were back on the fight. Once Riku and Blake broke from the clash a second time, Riku jumped far back and a strange aura started to form on his free hand
"Dark Firaga!"
When he landed, Riku shot out 5 dark flaming energy spheres coming twords Blake at a vertical line and fast length. Despite being shocked she switcherd her katana out into it's gun and shot the energy balls, destroying them and created light blue smoke. Blake used this oprotunity to get a few shots at Riku, but riku blocked it with a strange looking shield with the that formed from the same hand that launched the "dark firaga" attack. they rushed twords eachother giving even more swordplay with they're weapons lightning fast! Untill both had they're weapons at the other's neck
(end rage awakened)
Blake was panting hard. She had no idea if she would get the first hit or Riku
"Looks like we have another reason to be here"
Blake was confused at what Riku said, but even more confused when the keyblade disapred from riku's hand and blake's neck
"I forfit"
"You what?!" Blake asked surprised at Riku, who started walking away, knowing the class was soon dismised "You arn't going to try at get a hit?"
Riku stopped walking from the faunus in discuise. Blake could hear a small chuckle from the boy and he turned. The boy's emotionless face replaced with a casual smile
"Now why would i want to hurt a pretty girl like you?"
Blake felt a blush at the boy's complement. Profeser Goodwitch than stepped up
"Well i must say, you both preformed very well. Though this match doesn't have a victor, you both should be proud. And maybe one day you'll be able to discover a victor"
"Yes profeser" Both Riku and Blake said as the bell rang
"Class dismissed. I will see you all tomarow, and have a good day
All the students went down from they're seats, and team RWBY and JNPR went to congradulate Blake for and excilent fight
"Blake, i've got to say" Ruby started nonchalantly "you are awesome!" She broke into her typical fangirl at those last words
"Yeah! You were all like "whoosh whoosh whoosh bang bang bang" and he was all "ha! tru! haya!" and it was so cool!" Nora was practacly jumping off the walls
"I am curiouse though" Pyrrha said, with her hand on her chin "Why did he forfit the fight?"
"You heard what he said!" Yang told the group "He didn't want to hurt her pretty face! He likes her!"
"I'm sure there is another reason for his forfit" Weiss stopped he yellow haired brute
"Na! It's true love! Am i right Blake?!" Yang slapped hard on Blake's back
Blake wasn't paying attention to her friends and was more focased on what three 3 thing he said were. "i can feel it. your heart is slowly giving into the darkness" "How long can you hold on to your light" "looks like we have another reason to be here" what did he mean when he said that?. She saw that Riku was talking the the rest of his team, so she decided to use her cat ears to find out what's up
"Alright Riku, what gives?" Blake heard Sora say "Why'd you hold back on her and quit the match?"
"I was testing her" Riku responded
"Why were you testing her?" Lea asked "Our mission is to train. Not test random huntsmen and huntresses"
"There is growing darkness in her"
When Riku said those words. Blake felt a shiver down her spine. The other SKRL members looked worried and shocked
"You sure Riku?" Kairi asked
"i'm sure. It's a similar darkness i felt from when it all began. Except it's sader instead of adventurous. Maybe from the White Fang"
Blake gasped at how Riku, somehow, knew she was once a member of the White Fang
"That group of faunus who hate humans?" Lea asked "You think she was attacked by them or something?"
"Or she was once a member"
"What?!" Kairi asked shocked "But she's not a faunus as far as i can tell"
"The cat ears?"
He knew!? Blake though she was well hidden but somehow he knew! Not just that, but he knew she was once a member
Sora turned at Blake, who wistled and pretended she wasn't lisining "Riku what are you talking about?! She doesn't have cat ears, she has a...bow"
The entire team looked aquardly at Blake, who was still pretending not to listin
"I did see her eat a lot of tuna at lunch" Kairi wispered to her team
"I don't know if she was a member or not, but i have a feeling that the White Fang are the ones responsible for her growing darkness. And i intend to fix it"
Riku walked out of the room, with the rest of his team following. Blake was confused at all of what she just heard. "Growing darkness?" What did that even mean? And how did riku guess she was once a member of the white fang?!
"BLAKE!" Yang shouted directly in Blake's ear "ARE YOU LISTINING?!"
"OW!" Blake rubbed her human ears from her partner's loud voice "What was that for?"
"Well we were talking about how awesome those fights were when you spaced out!"
"I wasn't spacing out! I was listining to-"
Blake thought she'd tell them about what she heard, but she doughted that they would know more than she did about whatever team SKRL was talking about
"N-never mind"
Blake started to walk out of the class room, the rest of team RWBY and JNPR to follow
"What has her acting like this?" Pyrrha asked Yang
"Eh, well it's Blake. She's not one for jokes to much"
"Jokes or not, that SKRL team was really something!"
"You know it!" Ruby punched Jaune in the arm "With them around, our second quarter is going to be awesome!"
