RWBY The Champion and The Monster (RWBY x OC's) [On Hiatus]

A Night Off

Mantle

The morning after Jacques Schnee closed the Schnee Dust Company's nonessential facilities, the Mantle rioters are sitting on sidewalks and in police airships with their wrists bound by bolases. The Armorer and two other Hooded Ones stand above on a ledge watching them before turning away. A soldier escorts Drinking Buddy along a sidewalk while Atlesian Knight-200s patrol the area. Drunk Mann stands in line with other Mantle citizens outside a polling station. As Drunk Mann gets to the booth, he decides whether he will vote for Robyn Hill, Jacques Schnee, Ivy Brown, or Pearl Wistier. The outside walls have campaign posters for both Jacques and Robyn Hill, and Jacques' posters have been spray-painted over.

Newscaster: Although rioting in Mantle is finally under control, how does it feel to know that the majority of those involved were your supporters?

In a building somewhere, a reporter from the Mantle Daily is interviewing Robyn.

Robyn: I don't condone rioting, especially when our city is being denied aid for the hardships we've already had to go through, but Jacques Schnee's latest stunt is holding the city hostage for his own political gain.

Drunk Mann approaches a voting booth and begins his vote. His hand hovers over the screen as he hesitates.

Robyn: So, I understand their anger but ask that they show it not in the streets but at the polls today.

Atlas Academy Training Room

In the Atlas Academy training room, Blake Belladonna uses her Semblance and jumps from pillar to pillar while Yang Xiao Long follows and attempts to catch her.

Below Blake and Yang, Winter Schnee sends her Beowolf Summon to attack Weiss Schnee, who creates black glyphs above, below, and to the left and right of it. Weiss then uses the glyphs to throw the Beowolf Summon around, slamming it against the glyphs. She creates a white glyph in front of her and uses it to send the Summon back toward Winter, who creates her own white glyph to stop it. However, Winter suddenly winces in pain and drops to one knee. She then discovers that a small version of Weiss' Arma Gigas Summon snuck up to her and cut her ankle with its sword. The Arma Gigas strikes a pose with its sword on its shoulder, and Winter glares at Weiss, who gives a smug smirk in return and giggles.

Nearby, Rody Azuris and Donald Azuris are shown sparring as Donald uses a magic shield to block Rody's beam of magic. He then propels himself forward with wind as Rody blocks all of his incoming punches before roundhouse kicking Rody who does a split and kicks Donald in the face twice and Donald simply grabs Rody's legs and swings him away, but he flips and lands on his feet. The two rush at each other before locking hands, then Donald starts to feel like something' burning and notices one of Rody's hands are on fire as he winces and moves back, Rody and him go at it for a few moments before Rody slams him in the chest and sparks of electricity are seen, and Donald back hands Rody away, Rody and Donald punch each other in the face before Rody is sent backwards with a floating hand and it pins him down, he looks to his brother who just smirks at him.

Rody: New trick?

Donald: Yup, noticed that wasn't magic you were using.

Rody: (as Donald helps him up) Yeah, Isabella always used transmutation to create constructs and whatnot, but I figured I would mimic properties as well. Keeps things interesting.

Donald: (chuckles) Indeed.

Behind Weiss, Jaune Arc is using his shield to deflect a rubber ball, while Nora Valkyrie keeps hitting it toward him with her hammer. Nora activates Magnhild's upgrade, charging herself up with electricity. She swings Magnhild around and sends the ball rocketing toward Jaune, who blocks it and slides backward several feet before dropping to one knee. The emblem on his shield glows cyan while he blocks, and the ball eventually turns to ash.
