The Dark Angel (REBOOTED)

Chapter 36

High up Beacon Tower was Ozpin who was walking slowly towards his desk where a kettle of coffee sat in front of the screen which was playing the live broadcast of the tournament as Doctor Oobleck was speaking about who the next two competitors would be in the one on one match next in his usual fast pace way of speaking.

Dr. Oobleck: Alright! Now time to begin the randomization process for our next fight!

Prof. Port: It looks like our first contender is....Penny Polendina from Atlas! And her opponent will be...Pyrrha Nikos from Beacon!

Ozpin takes a sip of his coffee while he sat down in his chair staring intently at the screen while Penny and Pyrrha walked out onto the ring with the crowd cheering for them.

Penny:*salutes* Salutations Pyrrha Nikos! It's an honor to finally meet you.

While Penny greeted Pyrrha with a friendly tone and smile, Pyrrha said nothing as she was still in shock at her outburst towards Jaune earlier which resulted in her using her semblance to pin him to a wall in which she released him shortly after realizing what she had done and ran away from her friend.

She looks down at her hands while Penny kept talking to her

Penny: This is going to be so much fun~!

Back inside the custodial hallway, Ruby and Mercury stood there a few feet apart from one another with Ruby being confused as to how and why Mercury was there and standing no less after Yang had broke his leg.

Ruby: Mercury, what are you doing here..? You were hurt! Why-ah..Whats going on?

Mercury says nothing to Ruby but just looks at her with a smug smirk on his face that unsettles Ruby even more.

Ruby: Fine. If you're not going to tell me..

Ruby attempts to get past Mercury but he steps in her path, blocking her from moving forward.

Prof. Port: Fighters! Are you ready?

Penny nods and gets ready with a happy grin on her face while Pyrrha stood there looking stoic as the crowd, and her team, cheer her on while Jaune was watching intently before Doctor Oobleck shouted for them to begin.

Penny goes first with her starting with guiding her swords around her and launches them at Pyrrha who rushes towards her, dodging the sword flying at her while trying to close the distance between her and Penny. The swords stop in mid air and turn back around and fly toward Pyrrha from behind.

Mercury: Showtime~

Ruby tries to get past Mercury by using her Semblance but Mercury kicks her in the chest and sends her flying back across the hallway. Panicking, she pulls out her scroll but it was shot out of her hand by Mercury.

Mercury: Let's keep this "friends"~

Mercury rushes towards Ruby while Penny and Pyrrha fight it out their hardest outside in the ring with Penny using her numerous amounts of swords to defend and attack Pyrrha while Pyrrha was on the defensive.

Prof. Port: My word! What an amazing display by Ms. Polendina!

Pyrrha growls and lunges forward, jumping across Penny's swords and slams her spear down onto her but the swing was blocked by Penny using her swords as a shield before spinning around with her swords to get Pyrrha to move back from her. She then waits as Pyrrha uses her Semblance to equip her shield and the crowd goes in uproar for her.

Nora: Woooh! Goooooo Pyrrha!!!

Penny flies at Pyrrha and lands a heavy kicks on her before jumping away from her and uses her swords to disarm her. Pyrrha, a little overwhelmed, begins to use her semblance to require her weapon. What no one could know was that Emerald was intently watching the fight, using her Semblance on Pyrrha to make it appear as if Penny had an innumerable amount of swords behind her which scared Pyrrha into using her Semblance in a wide burst that sent the swords flying back but also locked Penny in place as the metal wires wrapped around her body.
