A Fallen Rose by any other name

Chapter 4: Rwby Vs CRDL

The area was getting impatient, waiting for the final battle as there screamed and stomped their feet as there yelled, "Final round! Final round!" over and over again; Cardin's team seemed to be kicking back, not caring for anything, and there was a team rwby well.

Ruby: Ahhh, I know we had it here! Where is it? (Ruby is dazing from place to place in the locker room as she looks for the extra bullet she grabbed before there left)

Weiss is trying to help but is flustered by how Ruby is jumping around.

Yang tries to use jokes to try and lift the team's mood while Blake reads a book, mostly trying to keep herself calm, but she does glance over at her team and more. Blake is happy to be here after leaving her old life behind with the white fang, but she worries they will return and affect her team someday.

Blake smiling: Guys! (her teammates look over at the Faunus) So what's our plan for beating Team CRDL

The other three begin to think as there don't see the other three fight much, but then Weiss breaks the silence.

Weiss: Cardin is mostly a bull-like fighter from what I see

Yang: like me

Weiss: you're more like a Gorillas

Yang: Hey! (the other begin to laugh as Yang puff her cheeks which seem to calm everyone down)

Ruby: our best plan is to get rid of the other 3 of Team CRDL, and then all rush Cardin at once, seeing he won't be able to take us down easily

Yang smiles at how Ruby's mind works; see, on the outside, Ruby might seem like a kid who loves guns and cookies, but inside her head, she can think and plan out without too much trouble.

Blake: but we don't know much about Cardin's weapon

Weiss laughed to herself and put her arms to her side: Well, lucky for you, I got some info on him and his weapon (she pulled out her scroll to show what information she had)

"Cardin's weapon is known as the executioner, a large black mace with ten flat flanges surrounding fire dust crystal in the center; this weapon can discharge explosive blasts or fire a series of explosions quickly at the target. Cardin has superhuman physical characteristics: fire, explosion manipulation, and resistance to extreme heat and cold. He has a large attack potency along with speed and lifting strength."

Yang: Well, that going to be a problem (she sits down and looks up)

Blake, with a worried but confused face, asks Yang why and Yang explains that her gauntlets use explosions to attack and sees Cardin has resistant to that, im at a disadvantage

Weiss nods: I use ice mostly and fire sometimes, and he protects against that

Yang: so how are we going to beat him

"as the girls talk, Ruby borrows Weiss's scroll and reads more on the info till."

Ruby: Aha! (Her teammates turn to her and ask what's up) Looks here, it says, "continual damage to his aura will cause it to decay to a point where he is left open" Remember the fight he had with Pyrrha, and she just kept hammer and hammer at him till he lost? What if we do something like that

Yang: but won't he think we will try that?

Weiss and Blake look at each other, wondering where Ruby is going with this.

Ruby: not if we make it look like something else. "The other girls all look confused as Ruby explains the plan)

"back at the Caridn lockerroom, Team CRDL talk, well I say talk, it mostly the others talk among themselves while Cardin smiles about how he is going to win no sweat."
