A Few Hours After the Fight with Bowser
"I see you're handling your loss well. And you… I still await our fight."
"Why don't we just get it over with now… save you a trip to the mansion."
"If you insist."
"Haaaaah!"
ROOOOOOOAR!
"A Behemoth?!" Blake's voice echoed.
"Not just any Behemoth… a Behemoth that Fawful got his hands on." Esdeath's voice echoed.
"We'll have to continue our fight later."
"Indeed."
"And where are you going?" Winter's voice asked in an echo.
"To give Fawful my greetings. And Weiss… I await for our battle to continue."
Weiss walked forward to Master Hand's office, Sephiroth's words echoing in her head. She clenched her fists as she walked to the door and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Master Hand requested as Weiss walked in. "Ah, Weiss, what can I do for you?"
"You take fight requests, right?"
"Of course! Who do you want to fight in an official match? We got a ridiculously huge roster!"
"I wish to fight Sephiroth."
"…Oh." Master Hand said lowly. "Funny you should mention that. Sephiroth had already requested a fight with you as well."
"Typical." Weiss sighed. "Alright, where am I fighting him? Midgar? Northern Cave?"
"He is waiting for you at the cliff that used to overlook the Isle of the Ancients."
A few minutes later…
"Place your bets, people! Place your bets!" Kazooie called out. "In just a few moments, Weiss will make her way to Sephiroth! Who will be the winner? And who will get slaughtered! Knowing how Sephiroth toyed with all of us, I'd say that Weiss is gonna get slaughtered hard."
"Kazooie! Have some faith in Weiss."
"You do know that RBY have been slaughtered, right? It's not gonna take much to take Weiss down."
"I place a few Rupees on Sephiroth!" Toon Link called out.
"I'm going with Weiss." Young Link said.
"You ready for this?" Blake asked, rubbing Weiss's shoulders.
"Yeah… it's time I stopped delaying the inevitable and fight him, ya know?" Weiss nodded.
"Hey Weiss!" Aerith approached her. "I thought it'd be best if you had these… just in case if things go south." She said, handing her a few items.
"Thanks." Weiss nodded.
"We got your back, snow queen!" Neptune gave her a thumbs up.
"Kick his butt!" Sun cheered.
"We look forward to some butt kicking!" Penny grinned with SAPR nodding.
"Right." Weiss nodded as she stood up. "Alright, let's get this over with." She said as she saw ROB moving over to her. "Take me there… because I've never been there." She requested as ROB nodded before pulling out a sign.
"That was the idea."
ROB would then guide her to the destination as Weiss would follow him, while Blake pulled out her scroll and started texting Ruby and Yang.
Hey, Weiss is going to be fighting Sephiroth. You two wanna watch?
Ya know, that sounds like fun! I'll be right over! - Ruby
Sure… anything to get my mind off things. - Yang
I'm bringing Uncle Qrow, mom and dad too!
See you soon - Blake
"…Wonder what's bothering Yang… eh, I won't pry." Blake shrugged and started texting JINX. "…Huh? Failed to send?" She wondered while Cloud looked to Blake and then let out a chuckle.
"I ought to invite Sora to watch this fight."
"Don't worry, I already had it covered. He's already on his way along with Donald and Goofy." Tifa said with a smile.
"Oh, that works."
Later, at the designated spot…
"Thanks ROB." Weiss said as ROB nodded and moved away as she walked over to Sephiroth who was standing over the cliff, looking over the ocean.
"So, you finally came."
"I would've came earlier but Bowser wanted a fight."
Sephiroth smirked. "I see." He said as he turned to her, unsheathing Masamune. "I see you brought a crowd with you."
Weiss turned, seeing the whole Smash roster (Minus JINX, Wario and Bowser) looking on in anticipation. She even noticed Esdeath and the Winter Ops, her family, Ling, Cloud's friends, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Qrow, Tai, Summer, and the rest of the Phantom Thieves. "So I did." Weiss said, getting in a stance. "They came to cheer me on."
"As far as I'm concerned, they came to watch me finish you off."
"Big talk." Weiss said. "Let's finish this."
BGM: JENOVA Phase 3 (Final Fantasy VII Remake)
Sephiroth smirked, getting in his stance. "Show me your strength."
Harbinger of Despair - Sephiroth
Weiss rushed over to Sephiroth, quickly summoning a few Gravity Glyphs and jumping on them as he swiftly slashed at her but she had jumped over as she landed behind him as she lunged at him, as Sephiroth snapped his fingers as she was surrounded by a few Shadow Flares while also stabbing him a few times.
Sephiroth was knocked back a bit as he smirked, where Weiss would get hit by the Shadow Flares right after, causing her to wince as Sephiroth slashed at her, but she blocked with Myrtenaster as she summoned her Schnee Orbitars as they fired beams of ice at Sephiroth, knocking him back as Weiss would summon a few Ice Glyphs where they would strike Sephiroth as Weiss lunged forward and stabbed him a few times into his chest, but Sephiroth would grab a hold of Myrtenaster with a smirk, where he would then kick her in the shin before slashing her away.
"Mmmph!" Weiss grunted, stumbling a bit before quickly recovering as Sephiroth would gracefully swing Masamune, forcing Weiss to either block or dodge the swings as she summoned a few Fire Glyphs and shot out plumes of fire, hitting him head on as Weiss would then get around him by summoning a few ice glyphs as she ice skated around him… only for Sephiroth to disappear from her as he then appeared behind him and slashed her away to the rocks.
Weiss would recover, landing on her feet and stabbing the ground. She would then switch her blade to Eiskönigin. She would then stab the ground as a line of icicles came crashing out of the ground and attempted to impale Sephiroth, but Sephiroth jumped up in the air and proceeded to stab Weiss… but he noticed that she stabbed the ground again as a glyph appeared under her feet as a clock appeared underneath her as well.
In a moment, Sephiroth slowed down as Weiss readied herself and in the blink of an eye, she quickly appeared in front of him and slashed him away as she then used Kacrackle to slam it down on the One Winged Angel, then she summoned multiple ice glyphs where in the blink of an eye, she would rush and slash through him multiple times.
In a brief moment, Weiss heard the sound of a snap, but she didn't think of it much as she slashed him down into the ground, summoning her Schnee Orbitars and firing ice lasers at him, and then her Time Dilatation ended as Sephiroth landed on the ground.
"Time Dilation… how interesting." Sephiroth smirked.
"There's more where that came from!"
"Personally, I'd say check your surroundings."
"Huh?" Weiss wondered and then saw herself surrounded by five Shadow Flares. "What the?!" She wondered, then she remembered hearing a snap as her eyes widened as Sephiroth would make his move, suddenly slashing through Weiss with Blade Dash, sending her flying as the five Shadow Flares slammed into her and caused her to fly into a rock wall, her aura nearly breaking. "Nnngh…!"
Sephiroth appeared in front of her. "That's enough." He said, his hand glowing with energy as Weiss tried to get back up but Sephiroth would grab her by the collar and then shoved her into the rock wall where he would then cast a point blank Gigaflare.
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
End BGM
"WEISS!" RWB, Neptune, her family and Lucina would yell.
"Oh my gosh…" Sheele whispered, looking horrified.
"We're done here." Sephiroth said as he walked off.
"Right… this match's victory goes to-"
"Wait!" Aerith called out, interrupting Master Hand. "Look!" She said, pointing at the smoke as they saw a red aura glowing through the smoke.
"Hmm?" Sephiroth turned his head as the smoke dissipated… as they saw Weiss standing up with an image of a fiery Phoenix behind her before it disappeared.
"You gave her a Phoenix Down?" Cloud asked.
"Thought she could use one just in case!" Aerith smiled as Weiss would also drink a Megalixer to fully heal herself up.
"It's not over yet!" Sora exclaimed. "You got this, Weiss!"
"Go on Weiss! Kick his ass!" Mythra cheered.
"You got this!" Pyra cheered as everyone started cheering for Weiss.
Sephiroth smirked. "It appears you have a lot of fight left in you."
"I… I'm not through yet." Weiss said, quickly standing tall and in her stance.
"You know, during our fight, I couldn't help but notice a new power inside of you waiting to come out." Sephiroth said. "Why not use that new power? Show me your full strength."
"I was just thinking about calling it out." Weiss said, closing her eyes as she started glowing before changing into her Fierce Deity form.
"Ah, the Fierce Deity… just like with Young Link." Sephiroth said and then smirked, raising his hand up as dark clouds circled around them. "I believe it's time I start getting serious too." He said, his one wing popping out.
Weiss pulled out Myrtenaster and Eiskönigin. "Now then, where were we?"
BGM: One Winged Angel ReBirth (Final Fantasy VII Remake) (Start at 5:25)
Sephiroth readied him as Weiss rushed over and slashed him repeatedly, as he blocked each attack and then parried her and then stabbed her in the gut but Weiss would quickly summon ice armor on her gut to protect herself, then she snapped her fingers as ice stalagmites rose up from the ground and impaled Sephiroth as Weiss rushed over and slashed him a few times, then using Kacrackle Slash to send Sephiroth back.
Sephiroth smirked, raising his hand up in the air and throwing down a Firaga on Weiss, but she jumped out of the way as she stabbed the ground as an Icy Magnamalo and Icy Seregios materalized near her as they started to rush at him, the latter quickly attacking him with ice spikes while the Magnamalo would breathe out fire.
Sephiroth would throw out a fiery wall to pierce through the Seregios while the Magnamalo would attempt to strike Sephiroth, but with a swift swing, the Magnamalo would be cut in half… and then Weiss rushed in and slashed him a few times before letting out an ice breath attack that would blind Sephiroth.
"Hmph." Sephiroth would fly up to get out of the snow covering… only for Weiss to fly up as well, icy wings having appeared on her back as both of them flew directly toward each other, slashing each other as both of them got a few hits in while occasionally clashing, then Weiss would parry him and then slashed him a few times before throwing an ice spear at him.
Sephiroth deflected the ice spear and would throw a Shadow Flare at her, where it would surround her while Weiss flew over and slashed Sephiroth down before summoning a massive iceberg from above as it she threw it down, while also getting hit by the Shadow Flare. Sephiroth would land and then cut through the iceberg as Weiss flew down through it and slashed him, but he summoned a Scintilla at the last second where Weiss would slash through it but Sephiroth would hit her with an Octoslash soon after.
Sephiroth started to glow a rainbow-lie aura. "Return to the planet." He said as Weiss stabbed the ground to use another Time Dilation as Sephiroth would slash her, but she disappeared as she appeared behind him and gracefully slashed him a few times while also summoning a knight to slash him away, then she snapped her fingers as Sephiroth found himself in an icy prison as she rushed through and slashed through him.
The ice prison shattered, but Sephiroth smirked and disappeared, only to appear in front of her and used a point bank Firaga to knock her back. He then snapped his fingers as a fiery ring surrounded the two, both of them getting into their stances as the both of them slashed at each other, both of them clashing as they jumped back as Weiss summoned her Orbitars as she combined them into one and fired a massive ice laser but Sephiroth would block with Masamune and deflected the ice as Weiss would rush over and slashed him with a Kacrackle Slash that knocked him up in the air.
"Descend, Heartless Angel." He said as Weiss flew toward him and slashed him right as he slashed her, which was enough to knock her out of her aura as both of them fell to the ground. "You're finished."
"I'm not done!" Weiss said as both of them got in one final stance.
"It's over."
"HRAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She screamed as the two slashed through each other, resulting in a stand still with their backs facing each other. No one dared to move or breathe as the fiery ring dissipated.
End BGM
"Mmph…" Sephiroth held on to his chest, suddenly falling on one knee while dropping Masamune… but then, Weiss suddenly coughed out blood while blood started coming out of her abdomen as she fell on her stomach.
"WEISS!" Weiss would barely hear Ruby's voice.
"Hang on… we'll get you patched up!"
"Weiss… come on, stay with us!"
"…eiss…"
Weiss's eyes closed where she could feel herself being picked up… before losing consciousness.
"Uuungh…"
Weiss would open her eyes, finding herself in a completely different area. She would look around, seeing various infirmary beds and an IV attached to her arm. She would see RBY, Tai, Qrow, Summer, her family, Ling, Lucina and Neptune all gathered around. "Guys…?"
"Weiss!" Blake exclaimed happily. "Oh thank goodness you're okay."
"Mmm…" Weiss sat up, wincing while doing so. "Nnngh!" She winced, holding on to her abdomen. "Ow…"
"Easy, Sephiroth did a number on you." Willow said, gently sitting in front of her. "How do you feel?"
"Fine, I guess…" Weiss responded. "Did… did I win?"
"Well…" Lucina looked away. "You might not like hearing this but… it ended up in a draw."
"…You're kidding." Weiss said. "Thought for sure I knocked him out first."
"Well, you sure did a number on him, that's for sure." Qrow said.
"Oh! You're awake!" A voice said as they turned to see Mario in his doctor's outfit approaching him. "Good, I was thinking that medicine would do the trick."
"How long was I out?"
"Oh, for about a few hours." Mario responded.
"Few hours? …Oh, that's annoying." Weiss mumbled as she got out of bed, nearly stumbling but Whitley and Ling got a hold of her.
"Easy now… don't push yourself." Ling said.
"Take it easy…" Whitley said calmly as Weiss would hold on to the IV and slowly walked out with everyone behind her, unaware of a proud smile on Winter's face… and once they walked out of the infirmary, she was greeted by cheering and clapping as she would see everyone who had witnessed the fight standing right there applauding her. Even the villains seemed to be cheering for her… minus Dark Samus, Ridley and Ganondorf, though the latter gave a respectful nod to her.
"Woo! Way to go, Weiss! That was better than what I could've done!" Coco praised.
"That was a hell of a fight! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time." Sienna siad.
"That was amazing!" Sora exclaimed.
"Weiss, you are definitely more of a badass than I thought you were!" Aerith grinned.
"That was awesome!" Kamui exclaimed.
"Oh… wow, this is kinda overwhelming." Weiss said, blushing a bit.
"You earned this, that's for sure." Esdeath smiled.
"Weiss." A voice spoke up as she turned to see Sephiroth approaching her.
"Oh… you again." Weiss said.
Sephiroth smirked. "That battle was admirable. You have my respect." He said, reaching his hand out to her as Weiss stared at it in surprise before nodding, reaching for it and shaking his hand. Sephiroth then turned around right after. "See you on the Battlefield." He said and walked off.
"…You earned his respect. That's quite the compliment from him." Winter said.
"Yeah… it sure is." Weiss nodded.
In Sephiroth's room…
Sephiroth sat down at his desk and grabbed his pen where he started to write things down.
"It has been a long time since I had returned to this. The last time I wrote in this, it was during my fight with Esdeath. I believe it's time I updated this."
Mario
"First, I want to change my stance on Mario. Before I found myself getting ambushed by Fawful, Mario called for a rematch. I decided to humor him and let him take the first shot. To my surprise, Mario was able to put up a fight, pulling out a bunch of Power Ups from his disposal, and on top of that, that cape of his is more than just deflecting projectiles. Perhaps I have misjudged the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom… I do question his doctor's degree, if he even has one…
Carolina
"The Freelancer is a tricky opponent. I never would have imagined that someone like her would be enough to put me on my toes. One minute she's shooting at me, the next she's pulling out Plasma Pistols… or on top of that, her hand to hand and agility is something to be wary about. She does seem to be a bit arrogant and tends to get in over her head a bit. Regardless, she's one to watch out for."
Pyra/Mythra
"It's amazing how these two individuals somehow merge into one when they fight in a match, and yet, when they're not fighting, they go back to being two individuals. Despite this, both of them are quite strong. Pyra is slow, but heavy hitting. Mythra is a light hitter but incredibly fast. I will admit, it was sometimes hard to keep up with Mythra. The two tend to switch on a whim, and you never know what you're going to get, whether it be a Photon Edge or a Prominence Revolt.
They also like to call out their friend, Rex, for a finishing blow for their Final Smash. I wonder how this Rex fights without Pyra or Mythra by his side? Only time will tell."
Weiss
"The one I have been anticipating to fight for a long while. I assumed it would be a quick fight just like with her teammates. However, she was able to keep up and put me to work. Not to mention that she too, has the power of the Fierce Deity. I could sense it in our fight… something that I wasn't able to detect when she returned from the Galar Region. Perhaps this was a recent pick up?
In any case, she is a strong opponent… and perhaps she is the only one that managed to make me drop to my knees and drop Masamune. In my opinion, she is the strongest member of Team RWBY… and she has earned my respect."
Sora
"It was a surprise seeing Sora arrive in Remnant… and I can tell he's gotten a lot stronger since our last fight at Radiant Garden. Perhaps I should test him out again, see if he is truly worthy to wield the Keyblade…

Ya know, in hindsight, maybe I should've written up the first scene of this chapter at the end of the last JINX It chapter to truly hype it up... oh well!
Anyway, I set up a poll. Go check it out!
