Remnants of the Overlords (RWBY x Overlord male reader)

Chapter 32

The sky above was filled with the sparks of fireworks and tiny pieces of paper that will takes months to be cleaned away. Cheers echoed over the plateau that once was the ruined city of Mount Glenn.

In but a single month one of Humanities biggest failures was turned into a giant platform of concrete surrounded by walls capable of holding against even the strongest Grimm known to man.

In the center, at the side of the Mountain Glenn, there stood the only building for kilometers.

A giant stadium, intricately designed. A masterpiece of human architecture.

All around the stadium countless airships were landing and taking off again. Multiple thousand people gathered in and around the building and countless booths selling all kinds of goods were quickly erected.

The people all looked like they didn't fear the coming event not happening for the last two months.

It was all possible thanks to one person. Said person stood upon a balcony overlooking the arena itself. The blinding flashes of hundreds of cameras not even causing a single twitch in his facade. Every single seat was filled, the arena packed with people and in the center, where the fighting will soon begin, stood the teams of students from every academy.

The front most team of each school was given the honor to hold up the flag of their home kingdom.

Team RWBY was choosen as Vales representative, much to Rubys excitement and horror. Behind them stood Team CVFY, Team JNPR and Team CRDL.

For Atlas it was team FNKI who held the flag, behind them were Team COPR, Team MOON and Team GRVL.

For Mistral Team SSSN was proudly waving their flag around while Team ARBN, Team SAND and Team EMRD stood behind them.

Lastly for Vacou there was Team CNDY, the flag bearer, followed by Team BRNZ, Team NDGO and Team SNOW.

With but a single wave of his hand and a small cough the crowd began to fall silent, waiting for what Y/n had to say.

Y/n: "Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the Arena 'Malebolge'!" The masses clapped as Y/n spread his arms in a grand gesture. "Long you all feared our great tradition of the Vytal Festival Tournament being canceled. To this day we do not know where our beloved Amity Arena has gone. The Council of Vale, therefore, came to me asking for my support in erecting a new arena to use. Day in and day out my employees worked tiredlessly to get this building done as quick as possible. I saved no costs as to deliver you a battlefield worthy of the Vytal Festival and I hope you are satisfied." The roar of approval was deafening and Y/n could not help but chuckle. "Now before us stand the choosen teams of each Academy. Hand picked by their respective headmasters, let us welcome them with a worthy greeting!" All to play into the masses hands. To hype them up as much as possible.

One by one each team was introduced, each member named. Once their introduction was other they were send out into the waiting areas all under the cheers of the masses.

The teams bearing the flags would be the last to leave. Soon it will be time for the first fight and the crowd knew it. They all waited with baited breath for the radomizer to decide the first match-up.

Y/n: "Before we begin with the first match there is one thing I would like to announce." The attention was back on him. "I hereby declare the Island of Menagerie as independent. Should the Kingdom of Mistral disagree I and the entirety of my private militia will bring war to finally get what is righteously ours. Menagerie will no longer bow down to those who it had defeated. The council of Mistral has till the end of the tournament to agree with our terms or else the remains of the ashen wasteland will be crushed under my peoples might."
