A/N: Welcome to Chapter two, Constructive Criticism and comments are still welcome and I'm glad that this idea was interesting, I really do like this premise, Anyways Introducing:
"Are you sure you want to do this Weiss?" Winter asked as she watched her sister walk around her own RRA, Brows furrowed and eyes focused on the holographic tablet in front of her. The robotic suit wasn't anything impressive despite the Schnee family's MASSIVE assets and while it was modeled to fit her sister perfectly, it didn't really have much else
"How's the RRA preparation?" Winter quickly shifted the topic after getting the cold shoulder from Weiss as her eyes narrowed, whether at a number on the screen or at her incessive questioning, Winter didn't know but this time Weiss actually responded
"I added a little more armor to my side and front but that also meant I had to sacrifice a significant portion of my dust reserves I usually place there. The Weapons and Comms system are both online and functioning at 100% but I still need to calibrate my visor which, no offence Winter, I prefer to do alone" Weiss reported as Winter silently sighed at her sister's attitude before walking next to Weiss who glanced at her but stayed silent as Winter started to inspect the visor beside her
"Your visor's left optical is damaged." Winter told Weiss as she watched Weiss's eyes widen before she checked exactly where Winter said and lo and behold, A crack across the visor that would have rendered it useless was found. Weiss clicked her tongue in annoyance as she pulled the helmet from the RRA and threw it to the side while Winter watched with concern clearly shown on her face as her sister's face twisted into a snarl as she confirmed what Winter feared, "Sabotage."
Her sister sighed as her features returned to the smooth and stone-faced mask that Winter was much too familiar with before she placed a hand onto the sabotaged Helmet of her Hunter
"I only have minutes before the match Winter, I can- won't forfeit, I have to go into that match regardless of if I have the helmet or not" Weiss said softly as Winter sighed and opened her own tablet as a second RRA unit appeared, Her very own Atlas RRA unit that had nothing to do with the SDC which meant sabotage was nigh impossible
"Don't tell father about this" Winter said warmly as she quickly traded their helmets, a quick smile appeared on both sister's faces before Weiss nodded and went through the preparations with her sister one more time before fully calibrating the system as Winter watched on with hidden pride
Good Luck Weiss...

"Designated Pilot. Please state your name" A feminine voice asked as Weiss sucked in a sharp breath, Zero, She recalled what Winter's AI was called before confirming her name
"Weiss Schnee" She replied confidently as files were sorted through the visor at neck-breaking speed before a single file was shown in front of her, labelled Myrtenaster, as the RRA cores powered up with an excited buzz, Almost as if the AI within knew what was about to happen
"Welcome Pilot Schnee, Safe Hunting" Zero greeted her new pilot, Myrtenaster expanding from under the Vambrace as Weiss made her way in front of her father before saluting her father with the Atlesian salute instead of their own, The one she asked Winter to teach her. which earned her a frown from him but a smile from Winter, who was beside him
"Weiss, Are you ready?" The indifferent voice of her father echoed through the room as Weiss settled into the basic stance before giving her father a brief nod, The momentary surprise on her face would've been shown was thankfully hidden by the visor when the ginormous Knight armor in front of her started moving
That's a huge son of a bitch, I barely reach it's knee even with RRA Weiss thought before quickly jumping over the Knight's swing and backing off, Despite the Knight's size. It was incredibly agile and quick with no wasted movements trying to windup its swings but she was better. Weiss was trained for this and with a quick flick of her Rapier, shot a few dust rounds at the armor
I'm sure that this would be a thing that I'd flash back to while singing a song Weiss weirdly thought to herself as she slid under another swing, taking the opening to land a few more jabs that did nothing but scratch the thick armor plate. Parrying away another strike, Weiss wracked her brain for another strategy that she could use before she was forced to stall the robot and waste more precious Dust that she couldn't afford to use carelessly like she had been doing so far
"SEM loaded at 80%" Zero reported as Weiss's eyes lit up in delight and relief, SEM or Specially Equipped Machine, She wondered what creative genius came up with that one. was something that some Hunters had the fortune to design and use but it was a hassle as the SEM had to be personally customized, Only the User would know how one would function and how to repair or advance it's design but the advantage was incredible. It made hunters who were great into legends and legends into faux gods
Quickly being reminded that she was part of said lucky group, Weiss quickly devised of a plan that would guarantee her victory against the oversized knight and by extension, Her father, Weiss took a calming breath before she settled into her regular stance
"Activate SEM and Booster when given the signal" Weiss ordered as she braced herself again, The knight charged in as Weiss dodged to the left with a quick boost of the hydraulics before a circular pattern shone briefly under her boots before suddenly, her entire being was launched up to meet the Knight's visor, Her blade drawn back as the knight brought it's hands up but it was too slow
"NOW" Weiss ordered as her blade was coated with a bright white glow before she pierced through the thick steel and embedded her blade into the Knight, only to be caught by a punch and flung away, The entirety of Myrtenaster stuck into the steel Chestplate in it's glory whilst Weiss landed onto the marble floor and cracking the smooth material
"WEISS" Winter screamed in concern as she watched her little sister stand up wobbly before ripping off her helmet and throwing it to the ground to reveal her disheveled state and furious expression, Winter would have screamed at Weiss to put the helmet back on if it wasn't for the lights refracting perfectly that allowed her to see the red flashing inside the helmet and the shattered visor from the distance
"My armor locked up and Myrtenaster was detached Winter, Something was wrong with the AI" Weiss reported as she dodged a overhead swing from the aggressive knight who was now simply attacking without any care for defense, As if it knew that Weiss had lost her main source of offense and losing all sense of form in favor of swinging its sword like a slab of steel while Weiss did her best to dodge. Firing off some reserve dust from the remainder of her weapons system whenever she could to deal some damage to the Knight and stall while she frantically piece together a plan
"You sabotaged both our armors?" Winter snarled as she turned to her sorry excuse of a father, white-hot fury slowly building as she stared at the bastard's impassive expression standing in front of her before he tilted his head ever so slightly towards her as if he barely acknowledged her words, So Winter continued
"My RRA is under AMA Protection which means that you are not allowed to touch or tamper with it under any reason without Rank and Permission from the general under the AML Section 3, Article 42"
"And?" He asked as he continued to watch the fight, His tone sounded almost as if he was enjoying his daughter being thrashed around, like they were watching blood sport back during the Great War, Winter gritted her teeth as she whipped out her tablet to call in her own RRA. She wasn't going to allow Weiss to get thrown around like this
"Summon your equipment and Weiss will be disqualified" Jacques told her without taking his eyes off the fight and he made sure to raise his voice enough so that Weiss could hear him, his youngest daughter turned to them with shock and fear and the momentary distraction proved almost fatal as the Knight slammed his fist into the ground where Weiss would have been if it wasn't for her last second dodge with SEM
"Fuck" Weiss cursed under her breath as she felt light-headed, something sticky and warm was flowing from her forehead and it is almost reaching her eyebrows but she powered through, The whirring of the cores can still be heard as Weiss readied herself for another use of the SEM and this time, it was going to be the end of the fight
Acting quickly, Weiss shot off with multiple uses of her SEM, Dodging stabs, swings and giant metal hands as she weaved through the Knight's attack before finally managing to wrap her hand around Myrtenaster's handle before pulling the blade out with a rasp of metal on metal
"Yes" Weiss cheered quietly as she held her weapon in hand and continued her plan into it's second phase. Taking the giant bastard down and earning her right to attend Beacon academy. Weiss and the Knight stared each other down as the heiress glanced at the new piercing she had just awarded the knight with
"Objective: Prevent Weiss Schnee winning" The Knight announced as red filled what was previously just a black void in the Knight's helmet gaps before it dropped the sword and instead simply rushing towards the Heiress with the intention to kill, Weiss frowned as she stepped to the side and slashed at the Knight's ankles and much to everyone's surprise the slash burned through the Knight's armor and into the servo that was moving the foot which forced the knight collapsed to one knee
Weiss quickly maneuvered around the Knight as she thrusted and slashed at the various joints of the Knight's armor in rapid succession, Her blade slicing through the steel like a knife through butter as she quickly disabled majority of the Knight's servos leaving on the right arm left and with one last pathetic attempt to fulfill it's mission, The mechanical Knight swiped at the heiress and collapsed to the ground with a resounding boom
"NOW WEISS/NO" Winter and Jacques gave their respective opinion as Weiss wasted no time to activate her SEM again but this time she focused the remainder of the energy into her blade and launched up into the air with a simple application of wind dust before she pinpointed the area where the CPU would be inside the armor before she plunged down
"NOOOOOOOO" Jacques roared in anger as he watched her youngest daughter thrust her weapon through the Armor into the "heart" of the knight with a explosion following soon after, destroying the armor and machinery that must have put the cost in the billions as Weiss stood with a triumph smile despite the blood flowing and the wound on her eyebrow that would undoubtedly scar as she gave a bow. Scraps falling behind her as she flicked her rapier before retracting it into her RRA
Well done Weiss, Well Done Winter thought as she clapped politely, Absolutely savoring the anger of the man that was their father before said man composed himself and gave Weiss a jerky nod before reluctantly handing Winter an envelop with a indifferent expression that was barely held together while he rushed off into his study to vent some anger
"Good Job Weiss" Winter voiced her thoughts and Weiss gave her a shy grin before the two sisters made their way from the room, the staff left behind with no idea what to do with the two tones of metal left behind the room and the boatload of oil that was leaking from the Knight's 'Corpse'
"Why do you use oil. WE HAVE DUST, FOR GODS SAKE, YOU ARE THE LARGEST DUST COMPANY IN THE WORLD AND YOU USE OIL? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU" A member of the clean-up crew cried out as they watched the oil slowly flowing before sighing, Just another day in the SDC to them and they do not get paid enough, They signed up to live and this was just part of their daily hell
