RWBY: Grimm Tales

The Fall

"For the first time ever..."

Void sat redoing his bandages wrapping his hands only looking when Izanami walked in front of him

"In all of the Vytal festival's history..."

She put her hands on his face "the others are in their seats but they're all rooting for you...I'm rooting for you" she said pressing her forehead against his "thank you...I have a request"

"This first round of the Finals will be contested..."

"Yang are you sure about this?" Ruby asked watching Yang training on a punching bag "Yep! I have no problem with V but I still want to see what mom saw in him."

"In"

Mercury smirked at emerald who rolled her eyes. "Have fun..."

Izanami and Ruby rejoined their group "Nami...where's your Gi?" "Hm? Oh don't worry about it."

"Triple threat rules!!" The crowd roared as Mercury and Yang entered the arena and finally Void who instead of his jacket was wearing a purple Gi with a serpent pattern causing the crowd to cheer louder

"Wearing your girlfriend's jacket for a confident boost?" Mercury verbally jabbed "what are you annoyed by more? Me having a supportive girlfriend or me having a semblance?" Void asked earning a laugh from Yang

"Why are you laughing? In fact blondie you should be on my side he's the one with the unfair semblance" Mercury complained.

"Meh our semblance's cancel the others out" Yang said a smug expression on her face as the match began.

Void sat down and waved his hand to his opponent's "Yang warm up and smoke this grey haired ferret so we can fight" Void said.

both Yang and Mercury land their first blow on each other, with Yang throwing the first punch in a haymaker and Mercury launching a jumping back kick. Mercury then rushes in, and attempts to aim for Yang's foot with a running jump back kick, but the latter leaps in the air behind him and attempts to land a shot with Ember Celica in a right jab.

The two each land a spinning back fist each that are both blocked, with Yang's subsequent left hook and jab are then continuously blocked by Mercury's forearms, while Yang ducks under Mercury's left hook. As Mercury prepares a palm strike, Yang fires off another jab, while her opponent shoots off a front kick, sending each other backward, only stabilizing themselves through a backflip.

Smirking, Mercury later dodges a barrage of rounds from Ember Celica while closing the distance, jumping into a downward axe kick blocked by Yang. He then leaps into the air to evade a low roundhouse and spinning back fist with a Dust blast, before delivering a kneeling flash kick to his opponent.

After she lands on her feet, Yang immediately boosts herself towards Mercury and attempts to launch several charged jabs at Mercury, who continues to block with his arms, before the two exchange a spinning back high kick. Mercury then forces Yang back by striking the back of her knee with a low side kick, before forcing her away with a front flip that sets up his Capoeira-style macao kick.

As Yang punches the ground, Mercury uses the momentum to perform a breakdance air twist, balance himself on one hand, and land two more chapeu de couro kicks to Yang, who continues to block the attacks. He then launches a spinning back high kick, with his right leg that pivots into an axe kick with the instep, cracking the pavement as Yang is forced to backflip away.

Mercury then launches a back kick, before dodging Yang's spinning back high kick as he sets up his next offensive combo. The spinning high back kick, followed by a regular spinning back kick and spinning jump back kick, forces her on the defensive, propelling himself upward as Yang staggers back from blocking the blow with her forearms. He then recovers from his perfect split landing breakdancing into a windmill flair and rushes in, only to see his roundhouse blocked with her arm before he suffers an uppercut into her left elbow strike, followed by her right jab.
