An: It's been about a month since the last time I updated but I thought with the final episode coming up I'd give it awhile before updating my Life is Strange stuff sometime in the lead up.

The Vytal Tournament is just as exciting as Ruby remembers it and ten times as nerve racking because this year she is entering.
Amity Colosseum is just as amazing as the last four times she's seen it and she can't help but almost salivate at all the cool weapons on display.
Team RWBY stand ready amongst the other Hunters in training who will be competing and she can't help but notice more than normal that this year Max is not among them.
This year she will be among the final group, fighting amongst career Huntsmen who have already graduated.
Apparently Blake had underestimated just how much interest was being shown in the younger Ozpin sibling when she had shared that particular information with her.
As it is she'll be officially graduating in just a few days, shipping off for field duty as one of Beacon's few early graduates after having been snapped up by some unnamed project riddled with more redactions and black ink than Crescent Rose has bolts.
That thought fills her mind as she takes her place for their first match, if this is the last time she'll be seeing her before she leaves she wants to do well.
Searching the stands she finds her just before the sound of a controlled dust reaction goes off releasing a loud bang and signalling the start of the match.
Max gives her a smile and Ruby leaps forward using a move Max taught her that takes out a good chunk of two of their opponent's aura reserves as showcased by the holographic bars displayed overhead and securing an early lead before retreating and securing a spot to snipe from.
It takes awhile but eventually they beat the team from Haven and after a short break the next match begins.
They fight long and hard securing several victories but ultimately they don't win, but they go further than they were expected to.
It might not have been the ultimate victory they were hoping for but Ruby is proud to say she did her best and watching Max grin down at her she thinks that that's not so bad.

An: This feels like a really good place to finish things off, but I'll probably write another chapter or two before episode 5 comes out set sometime later with Max visiting later on or something, and maybe do one showcasing Max's fights in the tournament. If you've got any thoughts leave them in your reviews, apart from that that's it for this An. Happy Halloween and Episode 5 in advance to all of you.
