A/N: Thanks again for the over he hundred views and for Quezan to vote on the last 3 chapters. Seriously thanks you so much guys. And girls, if there are any. Anyway, Please Comment. I would like to see your thoughts. I missed yesterday, so I upload today. Thanks again. The arena looks kind of like the one above.
Rwby belongs to Monty Oum, Rooster Teeth and whoever owns it.
My OCs, yeah there are multiple now, are owned primarily by me.

Still 3 days to initiation...
  The guy and I both pull out our respective weapons. We both stare at each other...waiting for the other to make a move. I keep Fimbulvetr pointed at him, ready to strike at any moment. Suddenly...MY HEAD!!! I was lucky I put up a thin layer of ice to block that attack.  But what was that...
  Blanc looks surprised at my defense. I don't know what he did, but it has to be something related to his Semblance... I should start rushing at him. I ready my feet and charge, with Fimbulvetr pointed straight at my opponent. He seems to realize my intent and throws both his chakrams at me. I raise my hand and freeze them both. Now, with my opponent defenseless, I swerve around the frozen chakrams and bring Fimbulvetr to Blanc's throat.
"Give up, I've won." I start freezing his extremities and slowly freeze up. It reaches until his shoes and hands are frozen.
"I admit it, I concede. Please release my chakrams." He pleads. Very well. I look around and to my surprise, multiple frozen chakrams have appeared in the air. It seems that his Semblance probably duplicates his Chakrams and makes the duplicates invisible... the state of the duplicate could also be attached to state of the original. That's why they all froze.
"Good fight." I wasted almost no Aura on that. Nice. I have like 69% Aura left.
"Thanks for the fight. It seems I need to train more when I go to Beacon." Heh.
"See you there Blanc." I hope he gets there. His Semblance would be way more useful if he gets ahold of stronger weapons.
"Yeah." We both walk away from the arena with our backs turned. Now...the round lasts an hour long... I have like... 59 minutes to wait. Goddamnit. Time to wait...and wait...and wait. Whatever, let's go look at other battles. Seems the other people are actually fighting for a longer time. Well, a lot of people don't have the power to almost instantly go through other people's Aura. Even with all of Blanc's Aura, my Ice just freezes it and reaches his physical body. He fought back with his Aura, but as a result my Ice kept devouring his Aura like crazy. His Aura level was probably something like 30% when he conceded. From 100%. I probably won't be able to recover that 1% I used in the rest of the hour. My Aura regen rate has gone up a bit. Last time when I told Yang that I couldn't get out of the Red within 3 days, that meant I couldn't recover from 10% to 20%, at most I was really close. Something like 19% at the third day. Now, I think I can actually reach 20% in 3 days. So 10% in 3 days which means 3.33% every day. On average that means...0.13%? Every hour. Not even a percent. Curse this Aura regen rate...
"BY THE WAY CONTESTANTS YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE ARENA!!!" Well, I guess I can't get Vanilla ice cream now... So the rest of the time has to be wasted by watching other people battle...k.
~Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Van battling looking at Chibi people fighting~
Finally the hour is over...
"THE FIRST ROUND IS OVER!!! THE NEXT ROUND STARTS WITH 16 PEOPLE BATTLING OUT TO SEE WHO MAKES INTO THE THIRD ROUND!!! CONTESTANTS GO!!!!!"
Next battle...I'm fighting a...girl... Well, the arena is right near me so here I walk...
"THIS ROUND WILL LAST ANOTHER HOUR TOO!!!"
Shit...whatever. I walk to my arena and see the girl dressed in traditional...what is that outfit? She's wearing guards that cover her entire upper half of her arms and she wears some kind of helmet...with a dragon adorned on it. She also seems to have horse ears? And a horse tail huh? Doesn't matter.
"I am Hēisè Lorithisa. Let us have an honorable fight." Traditional...
"I am Vanilla Einzbern. Let this fight be good."
  We both immediately pull out our weapons. She wields a single katana against Fimbulvetr. Not a good match up. I learned from the last game, I should have the initiative, so I shall. I rush straight towards her, leaving a path of Ice in my tracks. Hēisè closes her eyes and opens them right before I'm about to attack. I realize something...something I should've realized earlier... the length of her katana. I was about to launch an Ice Spike towards her, but the position I'm at is right inside her weapon range.
"Haaaaah!" She slices me horizontally. The...strike...it's...way stronger than I expected. This girl shouldn't be able to put that much power into that strike. Luckily, I thickened my Ice Armor tenfold. But she broke through 9 layers...THE HELL!
  The girl is unfazed by my block. She sheaths her sword and prepares to strike me again. This is my chance! I rush towards her again...if I could just touch her directly...I would be able to freeze her and make her give up. Whilst I am running, the girl tries to slice me again. This time, I'm ready... I jump to the side, but she...predicted it... She moved her sword and directly hit me, before I could put up a defense...
"...!" My Aura was shredded...I...who am I kidding. That's an Ice Clone. I'm already behind her. With Fimbulvetr to her throat. I've already frozen her entire arms and legs.
"I have already won."
"I concede..." At least she conceded quick. Though the Ice Clone needed very precise control. I needed to break and create an ice clone to actually make it move. Every single motion was the rapid breaking and creating of ice clones. I made and destroyed the Ice clone so fast that Hēisè probably still thought that it was me. My ice clone was probably blurred when she saw it 'moving.' As if it was Ruby. I probably didn't need to do that...but it was something I wanted to try out. And because of that my Aura has gone down by 29%. Therefore making me at 40%. But what was that attack power? Probably Semblance. Anything that doesn't make sense is probably because of Semblance.
"Thanks for the fight."
"It was an honorable battle." We both leave the arena... and I guess I watch the rest of the people fight...
~Another Timeskip also brought to you by Chibi Van sleeping~
Third round...please...
"THE THIRD ROUND IS STARTING UP!!!I HOPE YOU'RE READY CONTESTANTS!!! ALSO THE NEXT ROUNDS WILL ALLOW YOU ALL TO GO DOWN TO 0% AURA!!!"
And off we go. This time I ice grind there...and the person manages to get there first somehow. RUBY? No...it's probably a similar Semblance. It's a girl too. Long, messy, black hair.
"Hello stranger...I saw your fights earlier...you were pretty cool... Sorry...but I'm going to win." Oh, a confidant one...
"Don't get too cocky..." I warn her. Though it might be true with her amazing Aura regen rate. Seriously, I saw her at 0% when we talked, but...she's now at 35%. Her Aura regen rate is crazy... it's going up...1% per second? No, even faster...
"Heh, saw my regen rate did you? I've always liked watching my Aura regen...look: 45...47...50...53...55...57...60." SHE'S INSULTING ME!!! FUCK OFF!!!
"Heh...heh...hehehheheheh...why does the world do this to me..."
"Ah, he broke..." No comment. NO ABSOLUTE FUCKING COMMENT!!!
"Okay, I'm fine now..." I'm absolutely fine. Very calm...So calm, I'm not screaming internally. I'll just go kill myself...
"You don't look fine..." SHE FU-I have to stop now.
"Let's...let's just introduce ourselves now...I'm Vanilla Einzbern." I need to get this over with.
"Okay then... I'm Makoto Sanjay. Well...soon to be Sanjay, but my maiden name is Makoto Isbes." Makoto Isbes? What kind of stupid name is that? Totally not biased against this person. Wait...her Aura was at 0% when she was here...did she expend all her Aura when she came here? She has to... if she depleted all her Aura... Wait..did she do this just to get into my head? Crafty bitch... Wait...soon to be Sanjay? Is her father or mother remarrying?
"Are one of your parents remarrying?" If it's not that...then it's either she decided to change her last name to her other parent. (Fun fact: I, the author, actually has a cousin, same cousin who drank alcohol with me, who has done that.) Or...I don't want to think about that. Poor Sanjay guy. If it is true...Poor man.
"No...I'm engaged." Aah. It was that possibility. Poor...poor guy.
"He's over there, watching me from the stands." The Aura Monster points at her...'future husband.' I think he's covering his face in shame. He is. Oh, and I see Neo next to him. And a green-haired chick. I wave at Neo. I think she tells the green-haired chick to wave back at me too, because they're both waving at me. Neo holds up her scroll with the words:'GO GET'EM VAN!' I sure will Neo. I give her a thumbs up. I don't know how I managed to see that but I did.
  Now I look back at AM. I refuse to call her by her real name. Because she is indeed an Aura Monster and oh, look, 100% Aura. How nice. Meanwhile I am standing here with 40% Aura.
"Oh? Are you engaged too?" No? From the last time I've checked, I'm not. Unless my parents signed an arranged marriage for me. I wouldn't put it past my dad to do so...but my mom would definitely not allow it. I love my parents. Even now, I remember every single moment with them when I was a child... back to the talk...
"No...I'm not engaged with anyone. You can just see from my hand, no ring... You don't have a ring too..." Hmm..
"W-well...you see... I haven't got a ring from my honey yet...But I know it's going to happen! He'll accept my love...at some point...well he already did, but..."
"Okay you can stop now, I don't want to hear about your love life. Let's fight." Once AM listens to my words, she instantly gets ready. Once again, I pull out Fimbulvetr. She seems to have a...is that a rocket launcher?...
"OH SHIT!" It nearly hit me... the rocket launcher was way too fast to be from a rocket launcher. Is this the work of the enemy's Semblance?
"Aaw...well, next weapon then." It's a rifle gun. I guess she favors guns. She shoots at me but I have an ice shield up. The shots come too fast for me to see it. It's at least 4 times faster than normal... As long as I just have a shield that can resist the bullets she can't do anything to me. She switched weapons again, this time it's a revolver. She shoots 6 times at my shield, while I slowly inch closer to her. As if I don't care for the bullets at all. The bullets land in the exact same spot 6 times. Her accuracy is insane... It even nearly pierced through my defenses...as if she shot more than 6 bullets... I have to keep up my Ice Armor around me, just in case. So I walk slowly, also slowly expanding the armor forward. I'm essentially creating an Ice Tunnel from my starting position to where AM is. I can breathe from the back of the tunnel. She holds position. Slowly, ever so slowly...the Ice on the ground is also still expanding. I'm planning to create a dome of Ice, around the walls of the arena and close it in. That way, AM can't escape and use her possible super speed Semblance. Maybe the super speed also applies to her weapon...that would explain the speed of the bullets. Maybe she increased the speed of her bullets at the last second...  She fires again... it hits the ice but doesn't cause much damage, the bullets catch on fire this time, too bad my ice is too cold for it. I decide to look at my and her Aura levels. Mine is at 35%...not so much depletion and hers is at...20%? When did she use all those Aura?
  Whatever, I need to advance. Faster. And so, the Ice Tunnel turned into the Ice Train.
"CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA!" I scream out loud in rapid succession. And the crowd goes wild, yeah... Oh they actually do. If I get a nickname, I want to be called the Ice Train or the Snowstorm or Snowfield. Any of them really. I rush towards AM and she's...not there anymore?
"Aack!" My back! It doesn't hurt that much, but it still hurts damnit. Her super speed Semblance is so fast...I look at her Aura bar and it's 1%. The heck? I have to block her off. She entered my Ice Tunnel so...she's trapped. I immediately cover her with...she's gone again. AM's Semblance might as well be teleportation. You know what...I'm tired of this game. I'll keep freezing the entire area from the dome.
"So...brr...he's actually being serious now..." AM's in trouble now... And there we go...
"HAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" A ton of icy air will come out of my body freezing the area inside the dome. I will stop the ice from freezing AM's head. And just about now... the dome collapses. She's stuck in ice now.
"Are you not entertained?" I wave to the crowd. AM's prisoner-er, boyfriend? Is screaming: 'YES!' He's finally free. Fly, little bird, fly...
"I concede... haaaaaaah...I'll never win my hubby's love again..." AM murmurs. I feel bad now... Ice released... I go up to her ear and whisper sweet words of encouragement.
"Hey, since I knocked you out...you have more time to spend with your 'hubby.' That means more time to court him."
"Y-you're right Vanilla Ice Cream... I...thank you. I'll spend time with my hubby now." And so AM leaves to spend time with her dearest hubby.
"BOTH CONTESTANT'S FIGHTS HAVE FINALLY ENDED!!! LET'S GIVE OUR CONTESTANTS A MINUTE OF REST!"
I look at the other guy and he seems like a quiet guy. A quiet blond-haired guy with two bangs. And he has blue eyes. The final battle... comes in a minute.
"Hey...what's your name? I'm Vanilla Einzbern!" I ask of him. It feels kind of like talking to Neo but to a guy.
"...Phoenix Pendragon." He and I share a moment of silence. I think we both look at the board at the same time... My Aura's at 25% and Phoenix's Aura is at 75%. I didn't see any of his fights, since he finished pretty quick.
"So...I hope our battle will be a good one."
"...Me too." Very quiet. At least Neo had a personality. Our minute is almost up. I reach my hand and he shakes it.
"Let's begin when the ice crystal hits the ground." I make an ice crystal in my hand and throw it up.
"...Sounds good to me." Good.
We stand in front of together and keep our hands on our weapons. We both wield swords, but his preferred sword seems to be the cross-sword. The ice crystal is about to hit the ground now...
"HAH!" He shouts as I move back with my weapon drawn. He's fast. Phoenix rushes at me and keeps attacking, I keep dodging and parrying his attacks. We seem about equal in skill. We continue like this for another minute or so until we both back off...
"Let's give the audience a show, shall we?" Phoenix nods at me and prepares to probably use his Semblance. He puts his sword out as if to cut his wrist. I focus a bit to control my power. The ice crystal from earlier breaks and we both activate our respective powers. Phoenix slits his wrist with his sword... What... Is that a...construct? Some kind of construct comes out of Phoenix's back and blocks my view of him.
"King Arthur, please help me!" The construct charges at me with his sword. The construct's skill with his sword is peerless. I can't even touch him.
"Light Arrow!" The construct screams!! My Ice manages to block it but it's strong. A single % of Phoenix's Aura goes down.
He probably realizes that it's ineffective. And the construct's form...changes to a... floating pumpkin with a lantern?
"Pyro Jack, burn his defenses!" Burn? Fire can't do enough damage to my ice.
"Minor Fireball!" The Pumpkin screams... Well, I'll just take that shot..? It seems weak enough I could take it with my bare Aura...I'll just try to hold it and...
"SHIT!" I fall down on my ass...HOW THE HELL! I get up immediately, only to have to dodge another fire ball. Those fire balls are dangerous...even though they don't cause much damage to me, the opportunity Phoenix could gain from me falling on my ass is pretty big. 5 fire balls come at me, spread out in a formation around me. It's easy to escape and head straight to Phoenix with Ice Rails. I raise the Ice Rail to go higher and jump off, lunging straight at Phoenix with no time to waste. I'll release Fimbulvetr's energy when I hit the ground, with this Phoenix can't escape. I charge down, dodging Phoenix's sword shots. The ones I can't dodge are blocked by Ice Armor.
"That's IT!" An Ice Lotus blooms at the center of the battlefield. I look around to find Phoenix,but he isn't frozen. In fact, he's casually walking out side the Ice Lotus. What happened? I then spread the Ice Lotus out throughout the battlefield and plant 'Ice Roots.' Which shall also bloom into 'Ice Lotus'.
"SURTR!" I hear him shout. What's happening...OH DAFTFUCK! The Ice Lotus is burning up quickly...Phoenix literally just put up 10 blasts of fire and almost destroyed the Ice Lotus in seconds. If the fire touches me, this could be the end of the match.
"Well then..." Elcharge you're up. This time it's a Water Dust Crystal. I managed to speed up the change and it is now 10 seconds. I first put up more ice shields and then stab Elcharge until myself. The fire gets through the Ice...
"10...9...8"
Another layer down...
"7...6...5"
The second last one...
"4...3...2"
Just one more second...
"1...0"
That's it. My Icy Body has successfully changed into a Watery Body. I have to do the same to Fimbulvetr. So, while that's happening I raise my hands to the air, Aura fully recharged. All the Ice Lotus Roots turn into Water Spires. I gather all the water into a giant globe of water above me...
"Water Emperor's 1st Commandment...WATER GLOBE!!!" I scream as I shoot it down onto Phoenix. He'll never see it coming... The next surprise...
"WATER SPIKE!!!" As Phoenix tries to block it...I suddenly come out of the Water Globe and pierce straight through most of his Aura...
"I've lost..."
"And I've won...good fight!" I raise my hand to pull him up. He accepts it. We shake hands once again.
"I didn't expect you to change elements too..." He says...I got the idea when I saw him switch... it seems he went with some kind of 'light?' first. And then he switched to fire to check my weaknesses. I didn't expect his fire to somehow knock me on the ground. Once he confirmed that, he used a...Blazing Hell to overcome my Ice Lotus. And then...I changed to water and overcame him, using most of my leftover Aura.
"I didn't expect your fire to overcome my Icy Body like that..." Meh...
"I didn't expect you to literally douse all my fire like it's nothing..." I used like...17% efficiency. So 10 minutes...and how long did the fight last? Maybe 3 minutes when I changed...
"Heh...Meet you in Beacon."
"Yeah, see you there..." With that we leave, our backs to each other. We both leave the arena for tomorrow...I feel like I'm forgetting something...
"SO THE ROUNDS ARE OVER!!! NOW WE WELCOME OUR WINNER...Where is he?"
"Tuturu..."
"Hey, winner, please come back to the battlefield, we need to congratulate you." Aah, so that was what I forgot...
"K." And I return...
"SO, OUR WINNER IS FINALLY HERE!!! WE CONGRATULATE OUR WINNER WITH 10 DUST CRYSTALS, BULLETS, POWDERED DUST OF EACH TYPE!!" Huh... Dust Bullets...probably just going to give that to someone. I keep quiet like a cool edge man.
"SO!!! WINNER!!!  WOULD YOU LIKE TO GAMBLE THE STUFF ON TOMORROW'S MATCH!?!?!!?!?!?" Gamble? The tournament is...2 days long. And this is the first day. So what's happening tomorrow?
"Sure..."
"BY THE WAY...TOMORROW IS...A BATTLE ROYALE!!! AND EVERYBODY COMES BACK!!! If they want to, of course. THERE'S ALSO AN EXTRA CONTESTANT!!!" A battle royale? This could be interesting... Also, who's the extra contestant? The extra contestant comes up from underneath the battlefield? What is this technology? I thought Vale wasn't this advanced.
"IT'S...YOUR MISTRAL REGIONAL REIGNING CHAMPION FOR FOUR YEARS!!!" Hmm?
"PYYRHA NIKOS!!!" She finally comes up...Oh, it's Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes girl. I didn't expect this. Always expect the unexpected I guess.
"Hi..." Anticlimactic much?
"Hey, you're that girl from the cover of that cereal!" The girl looks at me miffed.
"...Yes. I am Pyrrha Nikos. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, cereal girl, I'm Vanilla Einzbern." I flash her a brilliant smile as if I'm not trying to annoy her. Annoying people is fun.
"You can call me Pyrrha, if you like."
"Then I shall. Pyrrha, I'll win tomorrow. See you later." I seriously need to retreat to my House before I collapse.
"See you later...Ice Lotus." Ice Lotus? I've got a title already? Cool! I wave good bye to everybody and see Neo, raising her scroll up with the words: See you tomorrow Van! Oh and AM's hubby-prisoner looks downcast, while AM hugs him. I walk past the crowd and leave for my House.
"Vanilla withdraws cooly..." Nobody sees my speed coming. I just slide on water. Hey with this, I could make my Ice Slide a Water Slide. With warm water of course! I'll set that up later tomorrow. I arrive at the Ice Slide.
"WATER SLIDE WOO!" I pour water down at my slide, unaware of the remaining time. Oh, I'm feeling dizzy... Just a few more seconds... And bed. And I collapse...again.
