Pilot of Remnant (RWBY)

Chapter 18

After waking up in the morning to your alarm, you woke Winter up.

Winter: Huh? What? What time is it?

Y/N Six in the morning.

Winter: I see. I'll excuse myself then.

After she gets up from the bed, she makes her way to the door.

Winter: Thank you, and sorry.

Y/N: You've got nothing to be sorry for. I quite enjoyed our time together, and I hope that despite my recklessness last night, you did as well.

Winter: I did. Have a good day Y/N. Good luck with the tournament.

With that, she leaves your room and you are left alone. Taking off your clothes, you take a shower before getting ready for the day. After working out for a bit, you finally make your way up to the colosseum to take part in your scheduled fight.

*loud speakers at the colosseum*

Port: Welcome back to the Vytal Festival Tournament!

Oobleck: Today is the doubles rounds, meaning two members from each of the winning teams will now go up against other winning teams.

Port: All except for one that is, of course we are talking about Y/N L/N of Beacon! The one man team who won against team CRDL!

Oobleck: Yes, and he is part of the very first round today, going up against Penny Polendina and Ciel Soleil of Atlas! The two teams are now arriving on the rising platform.

You stare down the two women in front of you and when the platform locks into place, you look out and look at the crowd. Raising a hand up and waving out to the crowd, you cause a spike in the cheers.

Port: Oh! It seems like the crowd already has a favorite! Let's see what this round holds for him in the competition to see if he holds up to the crowds cheers!

You look back to the two women and give a slight bow to them, then you draw your saber and hold it next to you.

Penny: Sal-u-tations Mr. L/N! It's a pleasure to fight you, but I am afraid I must beat you.

Ciel: Penny, we are in a fight. You need to maintain concentration.

Y/N: What's the big deal? If she want's to be polite before the match then let her. Who are you to say how she needs to act? Penny, was it? I look forward to our match and I hope to give you a good fight.

Ciel: Why yo-

Penny: Thank you Mr. L/N! I hope we may see each other after the fight to discuss the outcome!

You nod and glance at the arena indicators, seeing the mountains, the ocean, the geysers, and something you don't recognize. As the platforms rise up, you look at the one you don't recognize, seeing it to be these floating platforms. You get into a ready stance and wait for Port to start the match.

Port: In 3...2...1...start!

Penny brings an array of swords out from behind her that are seemingly floating while Ciel just stands still. Penny then sends the swords flying towards you, and you charge forward as well, heading straight for Penny. Managing to get closer much faster than both of them were expecting, you slash at Penny who dodges out of the way but Ciel doesn't move quick enough so you pivot and slam your left fist into her back, throwing her across the field and into the mountains. Turning your attention to Penny, you quickly bring your saber up to block an incoming strike from Penny's swords. Bracing against the repeated hits, you hold still till you feel one of the swords slash across your back. Stumbling forward, you quickly roll out of the way of the incoming swords and notice something strange connected to the swords, something like a wire. Getting back up, you hear the Grimm's voice in your head.
