Aloha, all of you. I'm back for another chapter. This is most likely the last time that I'll be able to update 2 days in a row. Oh well. At least I'm still going to update. The next one will be on Thursday. So let's get this chapter on the road.

RWBY © Rooster Teeth/Monty Oum

*Set one and a half weeks after the talk with Raven. In Vacuo for the Vytal Festival *

*Yang's P.O.V*

"Hello one and all, and welcome to the 41st Vytal Tournament! This will be a spectacle to behold, wouldn't you say, Phillip?"

"Indeed, Lillian. For our first match, we have Team MAPL of Beacon Academy going up against Team LVLY (A/N: pronounced 'lovely') of Haven Academy. 3,2,1 Begin!"

Well, I can't believe we made it to another Vytal Festival. Hopefully this time, there will be no one here to mess it up and frame someone in the final rounds. I also hope that Pov and his team win their first fight this time. He seems to be doing well so far. I think Mary came up with a better strategy than last time.

"Let's go, Pov!"

Man, his semblance can really be a big asset in battle. He just stole all of LVLY's weapons, I can't believe he did that! Now their only hope is their semblances.

"Ooh, it seems as though team LVLY has been stripped of their weapons! This will make things extremely easy for MAPL."

It really should be. That is if Lucas doesn't get kicked in the balls by this all female team. I know I would if I were the one fighting him. Ruby, Weiss, and Blake would, too.

*Much fighting later*

"And with that, the winner of this match is Team MAPL of Beacon Academy!"

Alright! Pov's team won! I have to go and congratulate him!

*In the hallways of the coliseum*

"Pov!"

"Oh, hey sunshine! How ya doin'?"

*They kiss*

"I'm great. Congrats on winning that match!"

"Thanks, Yang. You guys go on ahead, I want to talk to my girlfriend."

"Alright, Povelitel. Team MAPL, let's go."

Now with them gone, I can finally get a good moment with my boyfriend. I don't get those too often anymore. Especially here in Vacuo, we're almost always here in this stadium. Oh well, time to have a nice chat with him.

"You did really good out there, Pov. How'd you pull it off this time?"

"Mary came up with a better strategy this time around. I have to hand it to her, this was infinitely better than the strategy she used last Vytal Tournament. Well, enough about me, your match was awesome too!"

"Aw, thanks, Pov! You're so sweet."

"Hey, you want to go out tonight? I know a pretty nice restaurant in the city."

"How could you know that? We've only been here for 2 days."

"I grew up here, Yang. Remember?"

Oh, that's right. After we separated in kindergarten, he moved here. He told me all this. I can't believe I forgot. It wouldn't surprise me if his parents were here as well.

"Sure! That sounds awesome!"

*The next week, during the doubles rounds*

*Povelitel's P.O.V*

"Welcome to another thrilling round of the doubles round. This time, we have Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long of RWBY going up against Rojo Caluor and Silver Simmons of SUPR"

Hey, I remember these guys, these were members of the team that beat us last Vytal Tournament! Oh, I hope Yang and Ruby destroy them.

"Kick their asses, Yang!"

If anyone can beat these guys, I know that she can. Yang's far too strong to lose to guys like this.

*After the fight*

"And with that one punch, Mr. Simmons has been eliminated. Team RWBY will move on to the final rounds!"

Sweet! I really the final rounds go better than they did last time. I know they will. I must talk to Yang, now, though.

"Hey Yang."

"Oh, hi Pov! What's up?"'

"I just wanted to say great job in that fight there. You did better against them than I did back at the last Tournament."

"Oh, that's right, these were the guys you lost to, right?"

She doesn't have to remind me of the curbstomp. I was there. They beat us pretty bad.

"Yeah, they were."

"Hey, you up for another dinner date tonight, Pov?"

Whoa, she just shoots straight, doesn't she?

"Alright, cool."

*The next week, during the last round of the tournament.*

I can't believe I actually made it all the way to the final round of this whole tournament. I wonder who my fellow finalist is. Well, only one of us can actually take the trophy home.

*Yang's P.O.V*

I can't believe I actually made it all the way to the final round of this whole tournament. I wonder who my fellow finalist is. Well, only one of us can actually take the trophy home.

"Hello and welcome to the final round of the 41st Vytal Tournament. It has been an exciting tournament, and it has all led up to this."

"Right you are Phillip .For our first finalist, from the Kingdom of Vale, the blonde bruiser of Beacon, the little dragon of the sun. Please put your hands together for Yang Xiao Long! "

That's my cue. And an awesome introduction, too. Now it's time to find out who my challenger is.

"And now for our other finalist. Also from Vale, master of the spiked blade, the sovereign of time. Let's give a round of applause for Povelitel Vremeni!"

WHAT?!

*Povelitel's P.O.V*

WHAT!?

*Third person P.O.V*

Both finalists were shocked that their opponent would be the one that they've happily dated for the past 2 years. Neither one had really been keeping up with any of the other finalists. But, as of now, it seemed like they have no choice, but to fight.

"This will prove to be an interesting fight, wouldn't you say, Lillian?"

"You are correct, Phillip. Especially since rumor is these two are dating!"

There were lots of gasps and 'ooooooooohs' from the audience, and annoyed glances from Povelitel and Yang, since these two just went and told all of Remnant about their relationship.

"Oh really? Well, let's hope that Xiao Long here doesn't go and break her boyfriend's leg."

There was then a stunned silence from the audience, minus a few murmurs. Yang looks incredibly sad, as if experiencing flashbacks, and Povelitel looked incredibly angry at the announcers for having to remind Yang, as well as Remnant, about that awful day.

"Even I found that to be in poor taste, Phillip."

"Maybe you're right, Lillian. My apologies."

With that out of the way, Povelitel and Yang focused on each other again.

"Don't think that just because you're my girlfriend, and a girl, that I'll go easy on you." Povelitel said while drawing his sword.

"I wouldn't have it any other way, Pov." Yang replied while readying her gauntlets.

BEGIN

Povelitel made the first move, freezing time and running up to Yang. He swung his sword at her back, making her fall. Once she was on the ground, Povelitel unfroze time. Povelitel then swung his sword at the ground a few times, but Yang rolled out of the way each time. After a few swings, she punched him in the chest, sending Povelitel flying back a few feet.

Both got up and prepared to continue their fight. Yang shot several of Ember Celica's blasts in Povelitel's direction, while he dodged and pulled his gun out of the Blade of Ghidorah's hilt and shot at Yang, who also dodged. Once they were close to each other, Povelitel started swinging his sword at her again. Yang continued to dodge her boyfriend's sword swings until she shot Ember Celica into the ground, sending herself back several feet.

With Yang several feet away from him, Povelitel started shooting at her again, but she simply ran out of the way as Povelitel shot, until he ran out of bullets. With no more use for his gun, he put it back in his sword's hilt. Once that was done, he froze time again and got in front of Yang, who was still running. He pointed his sword downward, and unfroze time. Yang kept running and did not see Povelitel until it was too late. He swung his sword at her feet, making her trip.

Povelitel ran toward her as she got up, and swung his sword at her again. He nailed her in the stomach and the leg. Once she got back up, her eyes turned red and her hair caught fire. Povelitel knew he was in for a real fight now.

She shot several more shots at Povelitel, who just barely managed to dodge each shotgun blast. Once she was right in front of him, she swung a leg at his feet, making him trip. Before he could hit the ground though, Yang punched him right in the stomach, making him fly back several feet, drop his sword, and fall flat on his face.

As he was getting back up, he looked back in Yang's direction, who jumped toward him and punched him in the face, making him fall right back on the ground, depleting much of his aura, and earning a bunch of stunned 'oooooooh's' from the audience. He slowly got back up on his feet, but not before spitting out a tooth.

"Alright, Yang. Time to really get it on!" Povelitel said while having his sword turn on chainsaw mode.

The two ran toward each other, and traded several sword swings/punches. Yang's eyes were extremely red at this point, and the fire in her hair was burning intensely. She threw a punch in Povelitel's direction, but he activated his semblance, slowing down time and redirecting Yang's fist back toward her own face. After that, he ran for the other side of the arena as fast as he could, to escape the ensuring explosion.

And explode she did. Once the smoke cleared, Yang stood there dazed due to punching herself in the face and catching herself in an explosion. Both Yang and Povelitel's auras were extremely low at this point. Before she had a chance to regain her senses, Povelitel ran back to her, and swung his sword at her. Then he pulled his gun out again and smacked her in the face with the butt end of it. After that he kicked her in the stomach, knocking her to the ground, and putting her aura in the red.

"And with that one blow to the gut, Yang Xiao Long's aura is in the red. The winner of this match, and the 41st Vytal Tournament, Povelitel Vremeni of Team MAPL!"

The audience cheered loudly for their victor, especially the audience members from Vale. Povelitel waved to all the audience members, but then noticed Yang on the floor, looking upset that she had lost. Povelitel reached a hand out toward her.

"Hey, good match, Yang. That was fun, and you did a great job. Besides, second out of hundreds of teams, that's not bad."

Yang's eyes went from red to lilac, and she grabbed Povelitel's hand to get up.

"You're right, Pov. You did a god job too."

They shook hands in respect, making the audience cheer for the display of sportsmanship, especially from Yang. However, Yang was still a bit of a sore loser, and decided to embarrass him a small bit, as well as get something for herself out of it.

"I know how to make your victory a little sweeter, Pov."

"How's that, Yan… MMMPH!"

Yang pulled Povelitel toward her and planted her lips onto his. Povelitel was surprised at first, but shortly closed his eyes and returned the kiss. They made out for a full 30 seconds while the audience cheered even louder for what was going on. Once they split for air, Povelitel said,

"So how about we go and get my trophy."

"Sounds good, Pov."

They walked out of the stadium, hand in hand.

Now I'm done with this chapter. Sorry it was short, at least compared to my other recent chapters, but I assure you, I have some BIG surprises planned for the next 2 chapters.

Sadly, those will have to wait until Thursday and Sunday, respectively. I assure you, that you will love them.

On a side note, I know that in a realistic scenario, Yang would have most likely won her fight against Povelitel, but here's the thing, this is my story and I'll do whatever I want. And I wanted Povelitel to win. So there!

So until Thursday, tell me what you thought of this chapter, drop me a review if you get the chance. See you on then. Adieu, adieu, parting is such sweet sorrow.
