Alright here is chapter 8, with Duran vs the Ketchum siblings. Who will win? What will happen. Find out now! Also sorry for the wait...I honestly felt lazy and I'm sorry. I own nothing except my ideas.

Duran dodged to the side as Garnet swung at him with his scythe, bringing out his bladed cane and blocking Ember's strike, kicking her away and dodging again as he engaged Garnet, ducking under a swipe and slashing him. "Your slow, your swings rely on momentum, if you can't get that momentum up, your finished". He chided as he dodged and danced around Garnet's strikes, seeing Ember arrive and block her attack, shifting his cane to whip form and wrapping it around Celestial's Will, trapping it and allowing him to punch Ember harshly in the face. "Strength is not your strong point, you rely on speed and accuracy, someone with enough reaction time can take you on". He continued to point out the siblings weak points.

They both growled at him and charged again, Garnet swinging quickly now that he has his momentum, but Duran still danced between the strikes, after a couple of continuous strikes, Garnet started to pant, giving Duran an opening to blast him into a wall with his Mark. "Your strikes require a lot of stamina to keep up, therefore you can only go on for so long with your attacks". He said as Ember slashed near inches from his face, causing him to step back and engage in a sword fight with her, Ember's speed keeping him on his toes.

Crystal was panicking. "Calida! We have to do something"! She said in a panic.

"We can't Crystal...we gotta let this play out". Calida muttered softly.

"Why"?! She snapped.

"This is the only way they'll settle their differences". Calida said as she watched.

"..."

They both watched the three fight it out.

Duran brought out his pistol and shot at Garnet, who shifted his scythe into its curved sword and rifle combo, the two engaged in quicker combat now, Garnet sacrificing brute force for speedier attacks and more stamina. Ember joining in, Duran stepping back and watched the two nearly hit each other, their time away having broken their use of cooperation, a key point in this battle.

"Are you two done? It's obvious you can't win". Duran muttered coldly.

"Shut up"! Ember roared, charging at him, her eyes glowing pink as she accessed her Semblance.

She vanished as she went into a portal, coming out behind Duran, who could only teleport away in response, Ember hopping in another portal, the two teleporting around the place, trying to outmaneuver each other.

Garnet shifted his weapons back to its scythe form, before shifting it into a giant greatbow taller than he is, drawing it back with a large Aura Arrow, he waited for his moment.

Duran swung his cane down, clipping Ember's shoulder, who growled and slashed at his stomach, which he blocked, the two landing and Duran drawing a pistol, aiming it at Ember,

"No"! Garnet shouted, firing the Aura Arrow, it silently zipped through the air, and penetrated Duran's right shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain.

Both siblings paled when they saw blood, remembering that Duran usually forgoes Aura in combat, to better train himself.

Duran growled. "Is this what you two are willing to go to? Killing your friend to get revenge"? He growled out.

Both went silent as his words.

"He's right...do you want this path to kill not only the man who did all of this...but your loved ones too"? Calida asked.

Ember teared up and collapsed, crying as she realized what she brought herself to.

Garnet dropped his bow in shock, collapsing on his hands and knees, before collapsing entirely.

"Garnet"! Crystal shouted in shock, racing over to the unconscious Rose.

Ember was just as shocked, running over to check on her brother. Garnet was out cold, not even twitching.

Calida walked over and looked him over, frowning. "Yeah, I recognize the signs, he's got an emotional disturbance, too intense of an emotion...and he can't handle it."

Duran got up and cricked his neck, using his Aura to heal the wound, frowning as it formed a scar on his shoulder. "Of course". He muttered, knowing this day was going to haunt them all.

Crystal shakily held Garnet up and started to walk to the quaint house that she and her Father stay at due to them liking less expansive areas.

Calida frowned and looked at Ember. "You guys can't fight him...not like this".

Ember shivered. "Y-Your right...I'm sorry".

Calida nodded sternly and helped Ember up. "Come on...let's go eat and talk about what happened...and maybe think of a plan". She said as she followed Crystal and Duran.

Ember looked at the bloodstain left over, shivering at her deed and racing to follow after them.

To be continued.

Aaaand there it is. The Ketchum's vs Duran fight, and yes, Garnet does have an emotional disturbance, meaning he can't feel too intense of an emotion or else it becomes too much for him, it formed after Ash died and Garnet's stay with Qrow...he's not the best councilor. So what will happen next? What will be their plans. If you read Renegade GRAY, you already know what it is. R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.

...Also I have recently picked up the Percy Jackson series, I would like to thank/blame ShadowofAxios for digging me into this hole...its a good hole...but I'm not getting out of it. So if this continues expect me to drag that series into this...
