Chapter 20: New Challengers
At the stadium Bruce along with his family and team RWBY were currently sitting down next to each other as they were waiting to see team JNPR in action. Bruce was interested to see the team but mostly Phyrra in action. Weiss had told him in letters about the team and he has read their files for the most part. Based on Jaune files Bruce knew he faked his transcripts to get into Beacon but he was pretty sure Ozpin would have noticed that by now.
If Bruce has to guess he probably just let it go because he saw some potential in Juane as a huntsman which would be like him base on the few times Bruce as Batman has talked to the man also felt a bit sad for Ren and Nora because he due to the fact that they were ophrans and what happened years ago at the Kuroyuri incident in Anima but it looks like they managed to move forward and decided to become students at Beacon so that way they can protect people and other towns against Grimm so that way no one would go through what they did and Bruce commended them with that.
As for Phyrra the person Bruce was most interested to see he was curious why she would throw away her celebrity status to come to Beacon. But if he had to guess its probably because she wanted to get away from the spotlight and just try to be a regular person here at Beacon. Bruce and the rest of his family could understand that sometimes its hard to have a normal day when you have paparazzi and other people in your face from time to time but the Wayne-Schnee family was use to it and for the most part people rarely treated them like celebrities and it looked like the same could apply to Weiss as the months went by in her time at Beacon.
Once Port told the teams to begin team JNPR was charging right at team BRNZ who was charging right back expect for the girl who was loading up her gun as she was heading for the guy who had blade gauntlets as weapons had sent a running knee at Phyrra who blocked with her shield Akouo but she tumbled back a bit before the guy attack her with his blades again but Phyrra blocked it with Milo. She then hit the guy with Akouo and pushed him back in order to gain some distance.
At the same time the girl used her gun as a swing to get on a branch and go into a position where she can shoot.
"A sniper huh" Whitley thought.
Nora went to swing her hammer at the guy who was wearing a blue jacket but he managed to dodge the attack at the same tine the girl managed to get to her spot on the branch and began shooting at Ren but she missed and instead hit and destroyed some rocks the same time Juane had managed to block a couple of attacks with his shield he then noticed a couple of shots missing inches from his face and that was when he saw the girl in the trees.
"Retreat!" Juane said to his team said as they ran while blocking the bullets and they hid behind some rocks.
"What do we do?" Phyrra asked Juane.
Juane looked and saw that the other three members of team BRNZ were coming after them.
"Spread out try to keep moving" Juane said as he blocked a incoming attack with his shield.
The girl then moved between the trees and looked threw the lens of her gun and was focusing on the fights down below at the same time Ren slid to the side as he was focusing on the boy with the blue jacket he then turned to his teammate who was hiding behind the trees and nodded at her.
She then began to shoot at Ren side flip out of the way to dodge the attack but that gave the boy to strike Ren in the face knocking him back. Ren regained his balance and he tried to kick at him but he managed to dodge the attack and he went under Ren and struck him with his weapon electruting him.
"That's got to hurt I didn't expect his weapon was like a taser" Willow said
"I agree mother" Whitley said.
"Ren!" Nora said as she saw her childhood friend (and most likely crush) fall to the ground. She then swung her hammer at the boy who dodge the attack and struck her with his weapon and electrocuted her but Nora wasn't effected at all.
"What the is she absorbing the electricity" Whitley said.
"Oho looks like one of my favorite students Nora Valkryie is charging up to use her semblance" Port said.
"What" the boy said.
"Yes Miss Valkryie semblance lets her produce as well as channel electrical energy straight to her muscles this allows her to jump explosively into the air wield her mighty hammer and in this case absorb Nolan attack and send the young man flying" Oobleck said.
"What!" the boy now known as Nolan said.
Nora who was charged with elecrcity smirked as she smashed her hammer straight into Nolan gut and she sent him flying causing him to crash into a large rock like pillar.
Juane looked at the mountain and he looked and saw a storm over in that area.
"Nora get to the mountain" Juane said to his orange haired teammate.
"You got it!" Nora said as she quickly left and went into the mountain.
"Ren try to distract the sniper" Juane said as another bullet went past Ten
"Sure why not" Ren said not really looking forward to dealing with the sniper.
Phyrra started to run and at the same time Nora was climbing up the mountains
Another guy threw some disk at Juane but he managed to block them both but the impact caused him to hit his head on his then went to attack Phyrra but she managed to block the multiple attacks with her shield. Juane managed to to shake off the impact and he started to run.
"Yeah go get'em Juane" Ruby said as she cheered her friend on.
"Well he certainly improved" Weiss said.
"Well we would hope so Weiss since this is the vytal festival after all" Whitley said to his older sister.
"That's true but he ain't got nothing on Phyrra" Yang said as they watched Phyrra fight off two guys skillfully at the same time she managed to drop kicked a guy to gain some distance.
The girl was busy shooting at Ren who was dodging the attacks he then slid under Phyrra who jumped up over Ren so that way they wouldn't get in each other ways..He then went after Nolan and the other two clashed weapons a few times and once they were locked in a stalemate Ren kicked him on his sides and turned him around held him in a grip.
Once the girl couldn't do anything about Ren she turned her attention to Nora and Ren realized this.
"Nora!" Ren said as he realized his best friend (and most likely crush) was in danger and Juane blocked a incoming attack.
"Phyrra up" Juane said to his red haired teammate.
Phyrra tried to go up to Juane and in the process she cartwheeled to dodge a incoming attack and she flip over another guy Juane was busy and once Juane raised up his shield Phyrra used it as a platform to jump into the air and she blocked the shot that was heading towards Nora.
Nora managed to get to the top of the mountain and she raised her hammer and she absorbed the lighting through her hammer.
She then turned her hammer into her gun mode and she fired multiple grenades at the sniper who managed to dodge the attack but the grenades destroyed the trees causing a huge smoke she then looked around and started to cough she knew she had to get down or else she won't be able to breathe because of the smoke so we went down.
Once she landed on the ground Nora went down and swung her hammer down creating a large crater and she knocked the three make members of team BRNZ back.
"This is it guys lets finish them with team attacks Ren Nora flower power" Juane said.
"Wait...what" Nora said as Juane turned around to face his team" Juane said.
"F-Flower Power that's your team attack name.
"Since..when?" Ren asked.
"Come on guys we've been over this Flower Power is Ren and Nora Ren brings the flower Nora brings the power" Juane said.
"How do I bring a flower" Ren asked.
"Are they seriously doing this in the middle of a battle" Whitley said as he had a shocked looked on his face.
"It would appear so son but you have to admit its pretty amusing" Willow said to her only son.
"No silly not a flower flour like in baking" Nora said.
"Why would I bring that?" Ren asked.
"I ugh no its your symbol" Juane said.
"So what are we" Phyrra asked.
"Phyrra!" Juane said.
"Sorry I just wanna make sure its clearly defined" Phyrra said.
"Phyrra you and I are arkos its the thing where we take our shields remember " Juane said.
"Arkos" Phyrra said.
"Yeah its are names out together" Juane said.
"Right...no I get it" Phyrra said.
"What do you not like it" Juane said.
"No no its...good" Phyrra said.
"Hmmm I sense hesistation" Nora said.
"Hey!" Brwanz yelled.
"Huh" team JNPR turned to face team BRNZ.
"What do you think your doing?" Brawnz asked.
"Trying to have a team meeting thank you very little" Juane said.
"Yeah team earls only" Nora said.
We're in a middle of a fight" Brwanz said
"Thank you!" Whitley said.
"And where in the middle of a conversation what don't you get about that!" Juane yelled.
"Um Juane" Phyrra said.
"Yes Phyrra" Juane replied.
"I think he means we're all are in the middle of a fight" Phyrra said as Juane looked around and the crowd started to boo.
Juane sighed "Nora just hit them with a hammer" Juane said.
"Got it" Nora said as she smirked.
"Wait what" Brwanz said as Nora jumped and appeared in front of BRNZ and she hit and swung all four of them out of the ring with her hammer.
"Wow she is strong" Whitley said.
"Yeah Nora might be one of the strongest girls in Weiss class" Bruce said as he was impressed with Nora power.
"And with that it appears team JNPR wins by knockout literally can someone make sure they are ok" Port said.
Meanwhile at the unknown location the curly haired figured laughed "hahaha well that was actually entertaining somewhat" the figure said as he took a sip of his drink.
At the same at a bar a guy was busy drinking while looking at the matches.
"Huh those kids weren't half bad" the bartender said.
"Meh" the guy said as he continued drinking.
At the same time the next match was about to begin.
"Ah well Vacuo fans are sure to be hurting after that one but this next round will have them on the edge of their seed" Oobleck said.
"Team NDGO of shade is certainly a crowd favorite but these lovely ladies are going against some of the toughest testosterone filled teammates we've seen so far" Port said
"Of course I'm talking about team SSSN" Port said.
"Sun Wukong and his team are certain to be a force to be reckon with and although he'll be representing Mistral academy of haven I'm sure his friends and family back in Vacuo will be cheering them on" Port said.
"Good luck Neptune" Weiss cheered Neptune on.
"Wait that's Neptune the guy that" Whitley started to say but Weiss glared at him as if saying don't finish that sentence.
"He looks like a complete womanizer" Willow said while she knew Weiss was attracted to the boy and she wouldn't be too involved in her daughter romantic life but Willow would not have Neptune of all people date her daughter.
"Ladies" Neptune said firlting with team NDGO.
Bruce merely shook his head while Whitley sigh 'seriously how is this guy a student at a combat school" Whitely said.
"Break his stupid face NDGO!" Weiss yelled as she was angry at Neptune and his firlting.
"Alright girls try and remember hands above the waist" Neptune said.
"Ignore him he yeah he dumb" Sun said about his friend and partner.
It wasn't long until the field started to change into a desert.
"Alright home field advantage" Nebula said.
"Don't get too cocky its my turf too" Sun said.
"I hope I don't get sand in my shoes" Scarlet said.
"Be cool man" Neptune said to Scarlet.
"Hey the ocean" Gwen said.
Neptune started to freak out when he saw the field was changing into the ocean.
"Uh what's wrong with Neptune" Ruby asked.
"Oh no" Blake said as she realized what was going on since Sun told her about Neptune and his fears.
"Father he looked as if he freaked out as he saw the field was changing into the ocean" Whitley said.
"That's probably it son he probably afraid of water in general or the ocean" Bruce said.
"Wait really I don't know if I should laugh or feel sad for him" Willow said as she heard her husband and son conversation.
"Yeah that's right Sun told me how afraid Neptune is of the water" Blake said
"Three two one go" Oobleck said.
Neptune quickly went up on the cliff.
"Neptune what are you doing!" Sun yelled.
"Oh you know just uh gaining higher ground" Neptune said.
"On the enemy side" Sun said.
"They would never expect it" Neptune replied.
"He not wrong" Dew said.
"Open fire" Nebula said as she and the others started to attack first and Sun and his team attacked back in the desert Gwen and Scarlet were fighting and Scarlet swung his sword but Gwen ducked under the attack as she was sliding around the sand.
Sage and Dew clashed with each other that sent each other back a few feet but Dew created tornados that sent Sage flying and out of bounce.
"And NDGO gains the advantage" Oobleck said.
Gwen sent slash like attacks causing Neptune and Scarlet to dodge the attack as it was causing dust.
"Neptune" Sun said calling out to his friend as he was running.
Neptune jumped down from the cliff and he pulled up his goggles as Gwen fired a fire slash creating dust but Neptune shot a blast at Gwen thanks to his Google's which she blocked but thanks to that Sun managed to kick her in the face.
Gwen annoyed by that started to attack Sun who brought his staff out and the two clashed a bit before Sun gained the upper hand and hit her in a few spots with his staff draining her aura in the process and he shot her point blank range at Gwen knocking her back and draining her aura completely.
"And we're down to three on three" Port said.
Dew at sent Scarlet flying with a tornado but he managed to land on a ledge
But Nebula thanks to her teammate used the arrow she stuck as a platform to go where Scarlet was at once she did she turned her weapon into sword form and battled Scarlet and they clashed a couple of times until Scarlet gained the upper hand and elbow Nebula causing her to fall and he created a hook capturing the last member of team NDGO.
"Gotcha" Scarlet said and he came down and the girl knives almost hit him.
Back to Sun he was battling Dew and he saw some coconuts on the tree and he hit the tree grabbing the coconuts as they fell and threw them at Dew who swung them back which they were aiming at Scarlet he dodged one but the other one hit him in a place where a man is most sensitive and he fell over.
"Nuts" Sun said.
Dew created a another tornado and Sun was force to dodge it "uh Neptune could use a little help buddy" Sun said.
"Uh ya know it would probably be better if you came over here yeah I can guard this sector" Neptune said
"Really if Winter knew Weiss was interested in this guy she would say Weiss has poor standards nor would she would allow her to date a guy like this" Whitley thought.
We're in lockdown mode" Neptune said.
"What are you talking about there nothing to lock down" Sun said.
"Lockdown right you got it" Neptune said as Sun dodged another attack from Dew.
"Dude I know your afraid of water but you gotta" Sun said as Neptune blasted another member into the water as he was getting attacked from behind.
"There I helped ya happy now" Neptune said.
"Also I am not afraid of water and i have no idea what your talking about" Neptune said as the three remaining members of team NDGO started to attack.
"Neptune!" Sun said frustrated with his best friend and partner and want him to help in the battle.
"Okay fine just get out of the water" Neptune said as he went close to the water and Sun jump back as he turned his gun into a trident and he conducted electricity in the water shocking the girls and daring their auras.
"And with that team SSSN moves on to the double round.
"That was a train wreck" Whitley said.
" they won son that's the important thing sometimes you got to improvise" Bruce said as he chuckled a bit.
"You know what I call that victory" Port asked Oobleck.
"Shocking" Oobleck said.
"No well earned what you said was stupid" Port said.
"Now that was a match" the bartender said.
"Pbbt that was a mess" the man said.
"Come on man you didn't like them the vale kids or any of the fights before that what fight ate you here for" the bartender asked.
"That one" the guy said as he saw a large plane and got up and put his drink down.
"Woah happy vytal festival" the man said as he got up and left while putting his money on the table and the bartender was about to pick up a glass but he dropped it
"Ah gee darn it" the bartender said.
"Ugh that was close" Ruby said.
"Looks like the dorks made it to the next round" Yang said while Whitley shook his head and Blake was staring at Sun who turned and smiled at Blake.
"Emphases on dork" Blake said.
"That concludes the matches for today please leave in a calm and orderly fashion" Oobleck said.
"Come on lets go congratulate them you guys want to come with us" Yang said.
"I don't see why not besides I would like a few words with Neptune myself" Willow said.
"Mother please don't make a scene" Weiss said as she groaned a bit.
"No promises dear" Willow said as they got up from their seat and started to walk away but Weiss Bruce Willow and Whitley looked at the plane while Ruby ran up to Weiss.
"Ugh what are you doing" Ruby said as Weiss looked at the plane.
"Mother father Whitley she here!"Weiss said as she had a huge but tearful smile on her face.
"Yes dear I can see that and believe me I'm just as happy as you are that your sister is here" Willow said with a smile on her face.
"Its been awhile since we've seen Winter its going to the first time in awhile since all five of us were together like this" Whitley said.
"Yeah that's true lets try to enjoy that moment of us together for bit while it last" Bruce said with a smile while he was happy that he was going to see his eldest daughter and first born in the back of his mind he had a feeling that the Batman might make a appearance if Winter arrival means anything but for now all he wants is to see his little girl even though she a grown woman now and spend time together with his family since like Whitley said its rare these days that all five of them are together and he wants to enjoy every minute of it.
