Dressed in DRAB: Sanctum Soldier Chapter 7: Y1C7 Invincible vs Unstoppable, a rwby fanfic

AN: Lessons Learned was very sweet, but Qrow managed to sneak one dark line in that has me worried.

Also, I checked the stats on this story. It already has reached the amount of views as Streets of Vale. Apparently the trick was bringing Sun in the first chapter and to promise Pyrrha. If you have been waiting for it, here it is.

Year 1: Invincible Vs Unstoppable

Rex's POV

It's time.

Sparring class is next, and I am looking forward to being able to fight the champion of the Mistral Tournament.

The professor greets the class, followed by asking for volunteers. I immediately raise my hand. "I would like to challenge Nikos to battle."

While challenges were not technically allowed, if the other consents, it is treated as if they volunteered as well.

Nikos doesn't often fight unless the randomizer calls her, so she is put on the spot. She could choose to fight me, opening a precedent for people to challenge her in an attempt to take her title from her, or refuse and look afraid.

Respectfully enough, she nods and consents, so both of us prepare. Once we are on the sparring ground, the Professor gives his usual restrictions and victory conditions.

(Yeah) My Pride, you can't stop it
My weapons, you can't handle it
(Yeah) My Pride, no stoppin it
My weapons (I like this), that's right

In a world of hate with a twist of fate
Survival comes down to the moves you make
Filled with waste it's chaos based
Won't stop till this evil erased
On a mission with murderous tendencies
All I do is annihilate enemies
Ain't nothing left in the world for me
So I gotta take pride in my weaponry
All I got is raw hostility
I'm all alone no liability
Now see in the mind of a killer
See for yourself nothing more realer
No fear of death living like a warrior
You can bet that I'm coming for ya
And there ain't no reason to hide
You thank me when I end your life

Once the signal is given, both of us start circling, her weapon in spear form. The problem when two defensively styled fighters compete is there is a large amount of waiting involved.

Testing the waters, I fire a round at her, which she blocks with her shield. I move forward and swing at her legs. she backs up, quickly shifting her weapon into a sword and intercepting my next swing.

I swing Invention in line to fire again, but she quickly leans out of the path of my bullet and uses her shield to deflect Necessity's follow up. She swings her sword, but I read it and back step, launching a kick which she barely manages to avoid.

She's definitely earned her title as the invincible girl. I still can't touch her. To be fair, she hasn't landed a hit either.

Switching her weapon to spear form again, she thrusts at me. I deflect the strikes with the flat side of Necessity.

"Is that all you have Nikos? At this rate, Breech's record is going to be safe."

Ducking under her next thrust, I sweep my leg out and manage to connect, but she was ready and doesn't lose her footing.

My pride I hold in my hands
Demise is yours when I flash
I can't deny it there's no stopping
Me stomping on my war path
I'm slicing more than a gash
You feeling lucky we clash
I can't deny it there's no stopping
Me stomping on my war path

Now it's no doubt that my weapons
Mean the most to me no question
And in this day and age they the
Only things I got that's blessings
I keep 'em close they so lethal
As I prove to you there's no equal
Your life ends here with no sequel
Not a bone in my body that's peaceful
All I do is inflict damage
Take it to the point that you can't manage
Naw you can't stand it
Getting manhandled by this true savage
Yeah something like a body breaker
That's right born and bred as a life taker
I see it in your eyes
You feel honored when you die

We back away from each other, and I use the chance to swap Invention's clip with one with frost-Dust. I fire low, and when she dodges, a thin layer of ice forms. I continue firing, causing the patch to grow and new ones to form. I give up the pretense of trying to hit her, and fire the rest of the clip into the ground. I quickly reload and continue the process, although Nikos had caught on and started to use her rifle to make it harder for me to put my plan into action.

With my second frost clip empty, the sparring ground was pockmarked with patches of ice. Let's see just well she can do with treacherous footing.

I quickly move close to the center of the ice fields. Nikos remained on the edge, her weapon still in rifle form and resting on her shield for support. "Are you scared? I'll be happy to trade bullets if you don't want to get close."

Nikos took the bait, and moved hesitantly towards me. With the ice around us, dodging would be much harder.

We start swinging our blades, and soon they lock together. I take the moment to kick her, but that little trick of mine has become common knowledge, and she twists her body away from the impact.

(I have to use my Semblance.)

So, you've been holding back Nikos? Lets see what your Semblance says about you.

I lunge with Necessity, and she deflects it with her shield. However, I pick up a strange thought from her mind, and Necessity is shoved further out of line then what it normally should. I quickly bring Invention up to fire at her chest, only for the same thought to occur in her mind, and my shot is out of line and barely misses her.

What is she doing?

I strike at her again, and this time her deflection manages to break my grip on Necessity. I quickly bring Invention into line to fire again, but she strikes my hand with her shield and again I sense the strange thought and once more my weapon is ripped from my hands. A growl escapes me.

You REALLY shouldn't have done that.

This cold world leaving me one option
Slaughtering my foes non stopping
Now I'm taking the pleasure in chopping
Bottom line your life's what it's costing
My full arsenal is what I'm unleashing
Like a war god I'm taking out demons
I'm beasting while your body's leaking
Loving the feeling
When your soul stops breathing
On a mission dishing out death service
If you see me coming goin get nervous
If you ask me your life's worthless
Perish at my feet gives your life purpose
The joy is mine to break your spine
And it may seem like I lost my mind
To me a killing spree that ain't a crime
I'm smashing decapitating all the time

I launch several kicks, and Nikos moved back to avoid them, only barely stopping before stepping on an ice patch.

"Nowhere to run."

I throw a punch and she takes it with her shield. However, I hear a crack, and something in my hand gives. Fuck!

I sense my Aura flowing to my hand in an attempt to repair the damage, but instead of allowing it to, I focus it, a familiar black glow appearing over my fists. I start swinging again, but now her shield is pushed back from my strikes. I launch a punch at her face, and she blocks it, putting her shield in front of her line of sight. I channel my Aura into my leg, and launch a hook kick into her ribs.

She starts using her sword, and I start taking hits. I catch her blade with my forearm and punch her in the gut, sending her sliding back, her stance breaking once she hits the ice. I move forward, but the professor calls the match. I look at the board, and Nikos is at half-Aura, but I had hit the red.

"I can still fight!"

"Rex, stand down, your Aura is too low to keep going."

Snarling I turn back to Nikos, intent on continuing, but all of a sudden I feel a blow to the back of my neck and everything goes dark.

Hahahaha, you'll never stop me, (that's right)
You can try but you won't (it's over man)
Eventually you always gonna meet yo death
(yeah) yeah
Hahahaha

I wake up in the medical wing, Azure sitting at my side. "What happened?"

She looks upset. "Teach knocked your lights out in one strike, that's what fucking happened. Nurse says you have a broken bone in your hand and another got fractured, so your left hand will be in a cast for a while, and you can't participate in combat classes until it heals... and you have a week's worth of detention for disobeying a direct command."

"So nothing serious?"

"Really?"

"When can I leave?"

"Tomorrow morning."

WN: Seriously, Pyrrah is stated to be undefeated in cannon, of course she won.

The 'record' Rex was talking about was who could get his Aura level the lowest in a fight. Prior to this fight, Jason held it at 34% (A combination of personal growth and learning Rex's fighting style), Haley taking second.

I was vague on explaining what Pyrrah was thinking when using her Semblance because Semblances don't translate well into words, its more of a feeling. However, Rex is smart enough that once he calms down, he will piece it together.

Rex got reckless at the end because he lost his temper. It has a lot to do with what his weapons stand for, which is the reasoning behind the song choice this chapter. We also see the downside of Aura strikes, as it costs your own Aura to enhance the power of your blows.

The next chapter will be the end of Year 1.
