I do not own any Final Fantasy characters or the lyrics to any RWBY songs. I do however own the main character who is still nameless until the next chapter.

Eyes burned with hate in his crystal blue eyes as he stared at his opponent. Just the sight of him always made his stomach bubble with anger. The man before him also glared at him with his icy blue eyes. With their weapons in hand, they were both determined to take the other one down. Even if it was at the expense of their own life. They blamed each other for the death of someone they cared for deeply. They haven't crossed paths until now when they were visiting the grave.

"This is going to end now," his opponent growled while clenching the hilt of his gunblade, Hyperion, "You deserve this for letting her die."

Those words pierced through him but he shook his head. He couldn't let his opponent rattle him. It wasn't his fault and she didn't die under his watch. He brought his gunblade up to point at his attacker.

"You know damn well that you are the reason she is gone," he spat as acid dripped from his words, "She would still be here if you weren't so stubborn!"

"That's a lie! I knew I should have killed you years ago," the opponent yelled, "I'm not going to hesitate now."

He raised Hyperion and ran towards him but he raised his gunblade. The blades clashed which made them spark from impact. They locked eyes for a brief second before continuing to spar. No mercy was shown as they continued to spar. His opponent held some composure but he was full of anger. The past five years without her completely killed him and he felt lost without her.

He was eventually growing tired as they continued to fight. Taking this opportunity, his opponent used a fire attack causing him to shield his eyes. When he pulled his arm away, steel blue eyes looked to see Hyperion coming down on him. Searing pain burned across his face as the blade sliced him. He fell to his knees as some of his blood seeped into his eyes.

His opponent smirked as he saw him struggle which would give him the perfect opportunity to kill while he was down. Raising Hyperion again to finish him off, he was stopped by singing.

"Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest"

Looking towards the source of the haunting voice, he saw someone with a black hood standing at the grave he was there to visit.

"Who is that?" he asked surprised.

When he looked back down, he saw a gunblade striking him in the face. He cried and fell back, feeling warm blood pooling down his face. He then looked back at steel blue eyes that would not give up. He hated that look more than anything right now. He wanted to wipe it right off of his face. Eventually those steel blue eyes closed and fell to the snowy ground. His opponent sneered and figured he would just leave him here to freeze to death.

As he walked away, he looked back at the figure standing at his loved one's grave. He could see red hair that cascaded from her hood. She lifted her head slightly and it shocked him, making him turn and run.

"It can't be!" he gasped as he ran.
