After the Battle (The Chronicles of Yang VS Tifa)
Chapter 13: Round 10: Clash of the Goddesses (Part 2)
"-AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Yang and Tifa hit each other with their most powerful hooks yet, having blood fly out of each fighter's mouth. Tifa bounced back at Yang and pushed her into a corner and then started to hook her, hitting her face five times, until Yang started to struggle, stumbling to the side. Tifa then hooked Yang, and she moved over to the corner, where Yang had enough time to snap herself out of her trance. Tifa then tried to hook Yang again, but Yang countered the hook and started to jab Tifa again. Tifa then backed up to the center, and Yang and Tifa exchanged blows for a while. Yang then noticed a minute was left in the round. Yang then went on the offensive, and Tifa was backing up to the corner, where Yang was giving Tifa a smackdown. Tifa was taking punch after punch, and Yang was dodging Tifa's punches, and now Tifa was erupting with blood. Yang now was giving Tifa combos involving jabs, hooks, and uppercuts, and now, Tifa was just blocking. Yang was now just attacking with fast and powerful jabs, and Tifa was just taking them all. Yang then noticed the 30 seconds left on the timer. Yang then was able to get Tifa to drop her guard, and Yang then swung at Tifa, giving her some of the most powerful hooks ever seen by a female fighter. Tifa felt like she was getting hit with a wrecking ball many times her size, and she could barely stand the power behind Yang's hits. Yang then started to talk in what felt like a long time.
"LETS..." Yang hit Tifa with another hook. Tifa staggered as she spit out blood.
"END..." Yang threw another hook.
"THIS..." Yang threw another hook again.
"WITH..." Yang then threw another hook as she put her back into it.
"A..." Yang then prepared her most fierce uppercut.
"YANG!" Yang then uppercutted Tifa, with what felt like when Yang snapped her neck. Tifa then knelt down, and went face first to the mat. The crowd erupted with cheers for Yang as she went back immediately to her corner. The referee then started the count.
"ONE!" "(ONE!)" The crowd counted with the referee.
"TWO!" "(TWO!)"
"THREE!" "(THREE!)" Tifa woke up from her trance.
"FOUR!" "(FOUR!)"
"FIVE!" "(FIVE!)" Tifa then thought to herself:
"Good job. Good job Yang. I'll explain this to you later." Tifa said as she crawled over to the ropes.
"SIX!" "(SIX!)"
"SEVEN!" Yang and her team started counting as well. (Seven!)
"EIGHT!" "(EIGHT!) Tifa was on the second rope, almost up.
"NINE!" (NINE!) Yang then watched Tifa try to get up.
"I..Can't." Tifa gave up.
"TEN! (TEN!) Tifa then fell back down to the mat, lying down.
"YOU"RE OUT!" Yang then jumped into the air, celebrating like she never has before. She beat Tifa "Beat Rush" Lockhart, her single most worthy opponent, for the second time. This time, maybe more bloody than the last one, and maybe even better, WITHOUT the use of weapons. Yang's team jumped into the ring and helped Yang to her feet, and Yang threw up her arms in joy. Cloud and Aeris helped Tifa to her feet. Tifa was leaning on Cloud, exhausted and hurt. Tifa gave Yang a smile. She was envying her and proud of her at the same time.
10:15 P.M. Announcing the winner.
"Now 2-0 against her opponent, Tifa Lockhart, May I present the winner of tonight's match: Yang "Firecracker" Xiao Long!" The referee held up Yang's arm, and Yang celebrated, waving to her fans. Yang and Tifa went back to their corners. Yang muttered under her breath to have Ruby get something for her. Team RWBY then walked over to the door, and Yang took something out. It was her sunglasses. She put them on, turned around, and shouted to her fans:
"NAILED IT!" Yang then walked out of the gymnasium and into her locker room. Tifa looked over at the triumphant Yang. Tifa then got up.
In the locker room...
"Wow, Yang. You did it again." Ruby said to Yang.
"Yeah, I thought you were done after round 8 and 9." Weiss added.
"I had it in the bag guys. You guys can go. I'll clean up." Yang said to her friends as they then left. After she cleaned up, Yang was going to exit when she heard a knock on the door. "Yes?" The door opened. It was Tifa.
"Tifa."
"Yang." Tifa then sat down on the bench, where Yang was before she got up. "Sit."
"Alright." Yang sat down causiously.
"So...You beat me again." Tifa said to Yang.
"No shit. You look awful." Yang replied.
"Shut up. Anyway, I'm actually very proud." Tifa said.
"Wait, what? You were angry and wanted to wipe the floor with me. Why are you proud?" Yang asked.
"Well, when we met back at Death Battle, I thought I was going to wipe the floor with you there, but you snapped my neck." Tifa explained.
"Oh. Anddddd..."
"And... That made me pissed off that I lost to a what I saw, a newcomer. I mean, Your anime came out in 2012, and I've been around since 1997. I figured that I would win since I've been in this business longer that you." Tifa explained.
"Uh huh. So you stormed into my dorm last week, shouting, angry out of your mind, because of the fact that a "Newcomer" like me beat you in a battle to the death on a internet show, and you challenged me to a boxing match to see if you could beat me in a rematch." Yang said.
"Correct. and now that you've beaten me a second time, I've considered you worthy of being a true fist fighter. Think of me as a mentor." Tifa said.
"I would like to think of you as a rival, but we can be friends." Yang asked.
"...I guess we could do that. C'mon. I want to take your friends and you to a little place I know. Get changed and tell your friends to get changed." Tifa said to Yang.
"Alright, I guess. Where are we going? And how are we getting there?" Yang asked.
"We're going to need to go through a portal, and we're going to go to a bar. Seventh Heaven." Tifa instructed Yang.
"Oh. That's where I fought you, right?" Yang asked.
"Yeah. I fixed it up after. Let's go." Tifa and Yang got up. As they walked out, they bumped gloves, showing a motion of respect towards each other.
