The Amity Colosseum is still floating high amid the cheers of an excited audience as the two opposing pairs of partners for the match, the grinning Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai against a confident Coco Adel and meditating Yatsuhashi Daichi, wait in the center of the stadium for the holographic roulette to pick the field.

Port: (over the broadcaster speakers) Emerald and Mercury of Haven, versus Coco and Yatsuhashi of Beacon!
Velvet: (from up in the stands alongside Fox Alistair and Ruby Rose) Good luck, you two!
The Colosseum chooses four fields to rise up from below in quarter sections: A patch of tall grassy plains which has a single tree and some rocks; the ruins of a city, complete with buildings holding shattered windows and rubble among the pavement; a hot spring containing geyser spots along a small river and some blue Dust crystal growths; and a familiar section of dense forest.
Coco: (lowers her sunglasses as she eyes her opponents) Hey! Love the outfit, kid!
Emerald: I'll try not to get blood on it.
Yatsuhashi: (getting up as he removes Fulcrum from his back) I can't promise you'll leave without a scratch.
Emerald: (stretching out her arm) I won't be the one bleeding.
Coco: Ooh, I like her!
Port: (along with the countdown behind the combatants) Three, two, one, begin!
Instead of charging forward, Mercury and Emerald slowly walk back into the tall grass and disappear behind the leaves. Coco and Yatsuhashi smile at each other before the leader pops out her Gatling gun and begins mowing down the field as the crowds of sunglasses-wearing fans roar their approval, even when bullets nearly hit them from the other side of the forcefield. Coco lets up as she and Yatsuhashi realize the two opponents aren't in the plains section anymore.
Coco: Huh?
Blake: (as she and the rest of Team RWBY look in shock) Look out!
Mercury drops from the sky, aiming for Coco, but Yatsuhashi pushes her out of the way and blocks Talaria with his blade, pushing him back. Coco opens fire at him again, though Mercury is able to outrun each shot.
