GUESS WHO HAS INTERNET AGAIN CHILDREN! Me so let not waste any time and get right into the pants shit awesomeness that is Fidelis. Enjoy.
Cinder sent a spear of glass flying towards Fidelis who merely swatted it away, lunging forward Fidelis aimed the tips of his gauntleted fingers at Cinders throat only to be pushed back violently by a pulse of aura. As Fidelis was sliding backwards on his heels Cinder shot a massive ball of fire towards him. Knowing he couldn't dodge in time Fidelis raised his fan like a shield while creating as powerful a wind barrier as he could.
Cinder smiled as the inferno she created engulfed the dingo faunus, moments later the fire exploded outwards in a powerful gust of wind with Fidelis at the center. "You've got so much power and none of it is rightly yours!" Fidelis shouted from his position at the center of a small flaming crater. "You control people and have them do your bidding only to get rid of them once they stopped being useful. You have no loyalty to anyone and have nobody who cares about you in this world. The only thing you have is that stolen strength and even it isn't all that impressive." Fidelis reached into his pocket and pulled out his key and a small black ball.
"I hold part of the greatest power on Remnant, I'm beyond anything you've ever seen you filthy mutt! I will take the rest of the power I deserve and lead this world down a new path!" Cinder screamed with fire rising from her body.
Fidelis chuckled as he held his key to his chest. "No you won't, because you are going to die right here." He pushed the needle like tip of the key through his shirt and skin before turning it causing a immensely powerful surge of aura and wind to explode from around him, after removing the key and placing it back into his pocket he looked at the black ball. "To be completely honest, I don't like using the Butchers Brew, but I think this might be an appropriate moment."
Cinder watched as Fidelis lifted his mask just enough to put the ball into his mouth, after a quick crunch he swallowed. Everything was quiet for a few seconds before Fidelis's already suffocating aura increased further causing Cinder to step back slightly. She'd seen Fidelis fight with his aura unlocked before on video that alone was enough for her to be cautious, regardless of how much she hated him she couldn't deny how dangerous an opponent he could prove to be. Now however, standing before him with his aura and strength at it's max, feeling the weight of his power and how it matched even her own, she felt something she hadn't in a long time.
"Doubt." Fidelis spoke slightly startling her. "It's written all over your face, I'm guessing it's a new sensation for you. With all your schemes and planning, always having everything set up perfectly so that no matter what you will come out on top, I'm sure you've rarely been stuck in a situation where you were uncertain if you'd win." Fidelis raised his fan and leaned it on his shoulder. "This time the deck isn't stacked in your favor Cinder, this time the playing field is EVEN!" Fidelis lunged forwards as incredible speed with barely any warning.
Cinder had no time to adjust to his increase in speed and wasn't able to react in time when he swung the edge of his gunbai towards her side, all she could do was raise her arm in defense. The moment the fan met with her aura it shattered the shield and slammed into her forearm shattering the bone and garnering a shriek of agony from the would be maiden. Fidelis raised the fan for another strike but before he could follow through he caught a chest full of fire sending him skidding backwards as Cinder cradled her slowly mending right arm. "How?!" She hissed.
Fidelis raised gunbai and pointed at the edges, a slight black aura was coming off of it. "Black dust, rare as shit and illegal as all hell, but it anti aura properties make it a helluva tool when fighting people like us. Busts right through those aura shields." Even if she couldn't see his face she could still tell he was smiling like a mad man.

Rideat sat quietly against the wall of the airship taking them away from Beacon, he was using his semblance to keep watch for any flying grimm that could cause issues to the ship. His range of vision was pushed to it's max, it was because of this that he could see the two massive aura signatures fighting for dominance in front of where the Beacon clock tower use to be. It only took an instant to realize that one was Fidelis, it was scary seeing another power source that matched Fidelis, this one even seemed to be a bit larger though not by much. He squeezed his flesh hand into a fist as he saw the two auras fade out of range.
"Riddy?" He heard Velvet approach and sit down next to him. "Are you okay?"
Rideat laid down and put his head on her lap before grabbing and pulling his beanie from his head revealing his scarred face and empty looking grey eyes. Most people found his face unsettling but Velvet didn't really care as she began running her fingers through his crimson hair. "I'm worried Vel, I'm not sure if he can win this one." He answered honestly. "I've known him almost my whole life and I always thought he was unbeatable if he went all out, but now I don't know."
Velvet continued to play with his hair. "I can't tell you he'll win with any certainty, but I can feel in my heart that he'll make it. I don't know what he's truly capable of like you do, but he beat both you and Yatsu. I truly believe he'll win this fight Riddy." Rideat was quiet as he took these words to heart. "Did I ever tell you that he helped me out about a week ago?"
Rideat actually reacted to this by quirking an eyebrow. "Really, how?"
"Well it was a few days before the tournament began and I was out with my team, we were checking out all the stands that were being set up when I had to use the restroom. I told Coco that I'd meet up with them at the restaurant we decided on earlier. Once I left the restrooms several students from Atlas surrounded me." As she explained this she could feel Rideat tense up in her lap, she smiled at this. He'd always been very protective over her, she saw it as meaning he loved her. "One began pulling on my ears while the girl on their team started pulling on my skirt while saying she wanted to see if I had a tail."
"Who are they?" Rideat asked with visible anger.
Velvet giggled before continuing without answering. "They kept this up for a few minutes before I saw one of the boy who had been standing back laughing get sent flying into a wooden stand that was still being built causing it to collapse. We all looked to see what happened and thats when I saw your brother wearing street clothes and no mask standing there smiling at us, I recognized him because of that grin he had, it was the same as when he blew up that CI base." She noticed Rideat calming down in her lap. "He looked right at the biggest guy and said 'sorry, I hit the wrong guy' as he popped his fingers. The boy pulling my ear and the other boy who was watching ran at him but he kicked one in the side of the head and flipped the other over his shoulder before slamming him into the ground and hitting him in the throat. Then he looked at the girl next to me and walked up to her and said 'welcome to the salty spatoon how tough are you' when she didn't reply he backhanded her and said she wasn't tough enough. I still don't know what that means actually."
Rideat couldn't help but laugh as he listened to the story. "That really does sound like him."
Velvet nodded her head happy to hear him laugh. "He asked if I was okay, I told him I was and asked why he helped. He said I was basically his sister now and walked away." She finished explaining with a smile. "Fidelis may not be a good person, but he's not evil, that why I think he'll win this."
Rideat smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I think your right."

"Ms. Nikos, are you okay?" Ozpin asked Pyrrha as she stumbled out of the pod.
"I'm fine, how is..." Pyrrha ran over to the second pod where Amber laid motionless, even the subtle rise and fall of her chest was gone. "I'm so sorry." She whispered as tears began streaming down her face.
Jaune walked over and put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry Pyrrha, but we have to go." He told her as gently as he could, she nodded and stood wiping her eyes.
"Your right, lets go." She said taking one last look back at the previous fall maiden. "I'll get her for you, I promise." With those words the three made their way to the now destroyed elevator. "I can handle this." She said taking the lead and entering the elevator followed by Ozpin and Jaune. Focusing on her power Pyrrha began forcing the machine to rise with her semblance.
With Fidelis
Fidelis connected his fist with Cinder's shoulder throwing her off balance before hitting her with a blast of wind from his fan sending her high into the air. Cinder created several dozen glass spears and sent them raining down upon the faunus who used his fan to block most, a few however managed to curve slightly and hit their target.
Doing his best to shake off the pain Fidelis jumped up into the air using his wind to lift him higher until he met Cinder and slammed his gunbai into her newly created blades. The two repeatedly clashed in the air as they fell though it was obvious to both that Fidelis had the advantage in raw power, the moment they landed Cinder created her bow and jumped away while fire several arrows at Fidelis who smacked them away with his fan.
Frowning Cinder sent a large volley of arrows flying at Fidelis this time managing to pierce his thigh, though he immediately ripped the arrow out and tossed it away. Before either could move to continue their fight however there was a large blast from the wreckage of the tower and out climbed Ozpin, Pyrrha and Jaune.
Fidelis let out a laugh before waving to the three. "Damn what took you guys s-" He never finished his sentence as an arrow struck his forehead directly sending him to the ground a thud and causing a silence to fill the air.
Several meters away the sound of something hitting the ground could be heard, on top of a large broken column of metal Neo sat having fallen to her knees. Tears fell down her face as she stared at Fidelis's motionless form on the ground, the arrow still sticking out of his forehead.
"Stupid animal." The silence was broken with Cinder grinning at his unmoving body. "Now for the rest of my power." She smiled turning to Pyrrha.
What the shit just happened?! I just started writing and this ended up on the page, I honestly have no clue what I just wrote!
