A/N: Thanks for the latest reads. Let's break the 200 read barrier with this chapter! Thank you once again Quezan. You da man. Anyway, this chapter, I have a very important question...at the end. Don't worry, it's very important. Please comment...please... I just want to see your thoughts. Also, thanks once again for all the readers
Rwby belongs to Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth and whoever alse owns it.
My OCs belong to me, primarily, no they are not my slaves. I do not condone slave labor. They also belongs to themselves.

2 days to initiation.
  The collapse wasn't that bad this time. Well...I'll get some vanilla ice cream... and eat a snow cone for breakfast... Delish~
  And...up we go... TO VALE! Slide to the arena... and I'm here. I walk in and everybody is here... I see my previous opponents here too... A board shows all the contestants and Aura levels... 16 contestants and Pyrrha. The board also shows a timer counting down. Hey, I found Phoenix.
"Hey, Phoenix wanna team up? I feel it'll be easiest to win if we team up."
"...Sure." Great! Let's win this...
"Hey...wanna team up?" Who's...AM... That...Aura regenerating monster...
"...Sure." It'll be...best.
"So, the top 2 are teaming up?" So AM asks.
"Yep."
"Hah. I'm lucky I joined a hax team." Yep. We're hax.
"...What's the plan Vanilla?" Phoenix surprisingly says.
"Yeah, what's the plan?"
"Why are you asking me?"
"Because your the leader." Phoenix nods his head.
"Why am I the leader?" Why me?
"Well, you did beat both of us... in succession." I did, didn't I? Fuck.
"...Okay then tell me your Semblances guys..."
"Mine is Speed Up! I can speed up actions, mine or anyone else's."
"...Shadow Manifestation. I can do a lot of things with it."
"So...
"Hey, can I join in?" Who the...
"Pyrrha Nikos..." Phoenix seemed alarmed...well...if everybody agrees, why not? We can become Team Hax. Well, in Beacon terms: Team VMPP. Or VPMP. So... Vampepe? Vampiremp? Whatever, we're not a real Beacon team anyways.
"I think it's a good idea... If everybody agrees, why not?" I break the tension left over. AM thinks about it and nods. Seeing that, Phoenix nods too.
"Thanks!" Pyrrha smiles. Anyway I grab her into our huddle.
"So...Pyrrha what's your Semblance?" My plan from before doesn't need any changes whatever Pyrrha's Semblance unless she directly interferes...
"Polarity. Magnetic control." Interesting...If her power is strong enough it could help even more.
"Can you control people? I mean the iron in them." If she can...then...we can take out everybody in one move.
"Yes...but not a lot at the same time without using most of my Aura." That's fine. Aura Monster can supply her the Aura needed. Her regen rate is definitely faster than speeding up actions...
"Okay guys...here's the plan. AM, can you transfer Aura to other people?" AM looks confused at my question.
"I can't. Nobody can do that." What?
"You...can't?" My mom can...she never told me how except that she just can... I guess I expected too much.
"Whatever...okay then. AM speeds up our actions, all of us. Next, Pyrrha uses her Aura to grab the 12 people into one spot. At that point, Phoenix and I freeze the entire place. Capish? If so say, Aye!"
"Sounds good!"
"I think that's good."
"...Okay."
"Nobody said aye..." Whatever. The round's almost starting. 5...4...3...2...1
"Okay guys...START THE PLAN!"
"Time Accel, Square Accel, Quadruple Targeting."
We all gather with our backs to each other in the middle. Half of the rest of the people surround us. 4 versus 6. Looks like they all planned to take us out early. After all, top 2, 4 years reigning champion and an Aura Monster. Team Hax.
"Pyrrha now!" Pyrrha has been focusing her Aura ever since the beginning. She brings everybody together around us. 12 people surrounds us, stuck to the ground. They moved faster than normal of course.
"Phoenix!"
"On it, leader!" We both concentrate...He's been activating a giant black snowman? This whole time. Our preparations done, we activate the freezing.
"ICE AGE!"
"DIAMOND DUST!"
I like screaming move names out loud. All of the people, frozen. It's not good enough to kill of course.
"AND 12 PEOPLE TAKEN OUT BY THE TEAM THAT HAS THE MISTRAL REGIONAL TOURNAMENT REIGNING CHAMPION, TOP 2 OF YESTERDAY'S COMPETITION AND THE AURA MONSTER!!!" Why can't he use our titles?
"WAIT...script change right? Hah! I knew it. Script change is just...aah, the top two's titles..." Ah hah! Ye boi.
"AHEM! BY....THE TEAM THAT HAS THE MISTRAL REGIONAL REIGNING CHAMPION FOR FOUR YEARS, THE AURA MONSTER, THE RISING ELEMENT ANNNNNNNNND THEEEEEEEE ICE LOTUS!!!" Rising Element? Wooow, Phoenix's title is so good. Spectacular, you amaze me, people...?
"NOW FIGHT EACH OTHER!" Eh? Can't we share my gamble and the reward?
"Hey, can't we just share?" My Aura level is low. I'm sure everybody else's except AM's is low too.
"Yeah I agree!"
"...I'd like that."
"Yeah."
"O-OH, BUT YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE THE CROWD WATCHING CAN YOU?" But we can. We don't have to care for the crowd.
"I don't really care for the crowd though..."
"I agree!"
"...I just want to go home."
"Well...maybe?" Oh Pyrrha's the only one to semi-disagree. It's 3 to 1, it doesn't matter.
"AH...WELL, I GUESS I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE REWARD!!!!! OH AND I GUESS WE'LL BLOCK THE EXITS!!! ANNNNND WE'LL PAY THE CROWD TO BEAT YOU UP!!!" Oh shit. We need to fight now.
"Sorry guys..."
"Whatever...let's fight again, maybe I'll get the prize!"
"...Again?"
"Sure."
Well, our group dynamic ended quickly. Time for a fight..." 1 VS 1VS 1 VS 1. The first target I should take out is AM. But she's a troublesome one. Each one of us is troublesome...Pyrrha can essentially control people's bodies, AM can shoot you out of nowhere and run away really quick, Phoenix can overwhelm you with sheer force like I can.
"Well guys...wanna settle this fight in one attack?"
"No thanks."
"...I like that idea."
"I prefer one on one fights."
Phoenix and I look at each other... we both nod.
"Sorry AM and Pyrrha, Phoenix and I will end it now." And we both gather up our strongest attacks. We're doing the same attack as last time.
"Not if I stop you!" Oh right... Pyrrha shoves us to the ground. And she steals Fimbulvetr off my waist too. She throws it off to the side. Nice. I turn my head at Phoenix.
"Sorry Phoenix...I guess you're going out first..." Icy Body is already freezing the area I'm in. Well then. It seems I'll win. Phoenix's entire arm is frozen already. Pyrrha and AM both rush at me, trying to take me out...but the closer they get...the faster they freeze. It seems they think I'm doing this, while on the ground. Technically I am, but I can't control it. Freed Ice Body is truly something to be feared.
"So...Eventually I'm going to win. Give up now." They might as well...I don't want to freeze the entire arena.
"Sorry, no."
"I believe we can still fight."
They believe huh? And Phoenix has been taken out by the referee. I break that ice on Phoenix. I...can...stand up... Pyrrha's Semblance is pushing me down. Hard enough I can barely stand.
"Ice...Throne." An Ice Throne appears behind me.
"Well, then..." Pyrrha pulls me forward. It's Polarity. Not gravity. I struggle to stand up again, but I feel...
"AAH IT BURNS!" I didn't bring up an Ice Shield. I took that out of nowhere...Right, AM is here too. I took a Fire Dust shot to the face. Looks like I have to speed up the freezing.
"ICE LOTUS!" A giant ice lotus appears with me in the center, Pyrrha still hasn't released her grip on me. With this...
"ICE AGE!" All the ground, frozen. Pyrrha's and AM's legs are also frozen. I can see AM's Aura deplete all at once. She tried to use her super speed up but it didn't work. She's gonna lose.
"I...concede." And AM is out. I break the ice on her and she leaves the battlefield. It's just Pyrrha and I left. My Ice...it already spread near to the crowd. I have to get Fimbulvetr back. I run over to it, but Pyrrha manages to slide it away and to her. Pyrrha's holding it now. I have to fight her to get it. I, at least want a fight where it's kind of fair... I release Pyrrha from the ice. Now...
  Pyrrha gives me a look of gratitude and we begin to fight. I don't have Fimbulvetr so I make an Ice Sword. I don't know how to fight otherwise so it's all I got. Unless I try to copy some other people I know. Pyrrha has the longer range with that spear of hers. And better defense. She can use Polarity to control where her weapon is. I stab at Pyrrha, she blocks. I try to attack her from an array of angles, but she manages to block them all. All right, when one weapon can't win, then multiple can. I start to attack again, but every few seconds I change weapons. I slash at her 8 times in a row, but she blocks them all. Switch!
"Ice Claws." With this I have higher motor control. I jump at her and try to claw her. She retaliates and stabs back, I hold up an Ice Shield, a perfect copy of her shield. As I fight on and on with Pyrrha, I realize something, I really should learn to fight without Fimbulvetr as my weapon. It's just a really good rapier. So I should learn how to fight with only Ice Creations. If I ever come in a position I can't use my Ice and destroy the environment, I have to learn how to use my Ice in a way I don't. Plus my Aura's too low for any huge attacks. Sooo....Iceworks.
I hold up the Ice Shield copy of Pyrrha's shield.
"I am the Ice to my Works."
Pyrrha attacks me again, but I switch to her weapon and fight her with it.
"Ice is my Body and Aura is my Blood."
I switch to an Ice Scythe and attack again after I back off.
"I have created over a thousand Works."
An Ice Gambol Shroud appears and she defends against my slash.
"Unknown to Control, Nor known to I."
An Ice Replica of Phoenix's sword comes out and blocks her stab.
"Have withstood Cold to create many Works."
This time it's an Ice Umbrella.
"So, I make..."
Pyrrha has realized my intention and uses her full force to break through the Ice Umbrella. She's right before me when...
"Unlimited Iceworks!"
A multitude of weapons come out and surround her. I have enough control to do this now...make fine replicas that are really close in detail to the real thing. The Ice Weapons float over me and Pyrrha. We all attack at the same time. Leaving Pyrrha no way of escape. Except...she used Polarity to stop me.  Ice Weapons are still there...and they attack. All at the same time, Pyrrha manages to block some of it, but her Aura depletes fast. And it's...
"I've lost..." I stop my attack and grab Fimbulvetr, released from Polarity. Finally, the Ice stopped. I look around and noticed that even though the Ice should have froze some people in the crowd. It...stopped. It stopped in the same position I remember it in last time...
"Good fight!" Pyrrha goes up to me and we shake hands in front of everybody.
"NOW KISS!"
I look at the announcer in a face that says, I'MMA KILL YOU! Seriously I don't want to deal with this right now. Pyrrha blushes, either because my hands are cold or the announcer. That Fooker. I shall call him Fooker now. The Fooker continues...
"Ah, oh I'm sorry, I was reading a fanfiction. The fanfiction consisted of...nevermind about that...ANYWAY!" That Fooker.
"LET'S CONGRATULATE OUR WINNER FOR WINNING THIS TOURNAMENT! SINCE HE BET ON THIS MATCH HE GETS 50 DUST CRYSTALS, POWDERED DUST AND DUST BULLETS OF ALL TYPES. I expect you to share this with your friends man." I fully intend to do so.
"NOW! OUR REWARD CEREMONY!" Reward ceremony huh? Well then... Some guy shows up and give Pyrrha some shit. Wait, I was supposed to get that.
"Vanilla, I-I lov-wait, what is this?" Huh? Pyrrha blushed for a second and started looking over the paper she got. It seems to be a script.
"MY FANFICTION!!!" AM suddenly appears and takes it back. The hell?
"SORRY...JUST...JUST MAKE UP THE CEREMONY THINGS!!" What a great ceremony. Pyrrha thinks for a while, and finally says some thing...
"Congrats Vanilla, you beat me. Here's your medal~" I bow down and Pyrrha puts a medal on me.
"Oh, and here's your trophy. It's me." Pyrrha? Like, as a helper? Or as a...servant? Great! She can help with experiments. Or building an Ice House or... She hands me a trophy which literally has a golden her on it. Not to scale. Oh... My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
"T-thanks Pyrrha...it's, it's so good, I'll definitely cherish it forever..." Pyrrha flashes me a smile and oh shit! The smile is so bright I can't look at it. Aah. Pain.
"You're welcome Vanilla." She flashes even harder. I can't see anything anymore.
"Pyrrha, please stop smiling, it's too bright!" She stops smiling only to laugh at my 'joke.' Yay... She's too nice for her own good. I laugh awkwardly along with her. Yeah we're best friends...
  After a while she calms down. We look at each other tired and make one final...
"JUST DO IT! DO IT! MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME THROUGH! KISS!" Says the Fooker, probably reading fanfiction. You know what? Fine. I kiss Pyrrha.

On the hand. GET TRICKED BOIIIIIIIISSSSS. BAMBOOZLED  AGAIN! But no seriously I actually kiss Pyrrha on the hand.
"Hah...hah.......HAAAAAAAAAAAAH????????" I get up from the kneel. She's blushing so hard right now. I'm going to do this again at Beacon. I swear.
"V-V-Van...Ummm..." I grin at her widely.
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS! THE SHIP COMES TRUE!!!" AM? Is that... you motherfooker. Meanwhile Pyrrha runs away. Nice.
"Ahem...ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!" The crowd starts laughing yeah... I have to run away in shame now. And so I promptly do so.
~Timeskip of Makoto writing a fanfiction script~
  I run away and run away from the arena, eventually reaching the coffee shop I met Neo in. Which also happens to be the same shop I bought all the vanilla ice cream for. Ice cream time~
  "Om nom nom." This ice cream so delicious. Uhh. Yes. Faster! I'm about to...finish~
"Hey Vanilla. Oh and actual vanilla." Who's disturbing my ice cream time? AM...and her hubby.
"Hey." He says. He's dressed in casual clothes and carries an umbrella too. His hair...I can't tell what color it is. It's like it switches between black and brown.
"Oh, hi."
"Sooo...I should introduce you to my hubby!"
"Goddamnit Makoto stop. Stop calling me 'hubby.' I'm not your hubby." Right...Makoto is her real name. I forgot.
"So...you're Sanjay..." He held his hand up and I shake his hand.
"Yep. I'm Mile Sanjay, prisoner of Makoto." Mile... The name seems abnormal.
"Hehe... he's my future husbando!"
"I give up! I can't do this anymore. Makoto, do whatever you want." He broke. Just like Weiss, but he's a slave to AM...
"Really?"
"No."
"Erm...wanna talk?" I should cut in before Mile tries to kill himself.
"Yeah, sounds good." Mile seats himself on the chair. AM sits next to him. 
"So...you beat Makoto...With a Semblance that powerful, almost everybody would be able to defeat Makoto." So he says...
"Yeah, that Semblance is hax!"
"If I didn't, then you would have lit me on fire!" I counter.
"I think Speed Up's a pretty good Semblance anyway..." Having that would make anyone's battle effectiveness increase almost fourfold.
"Makoto." Mile looks at Makoto with a disappointing look.
"Yeah, yeah. Okay, I lied. I guess I should tell you my real Semblance..." Me too. I understand why she's lying, after all, it's a tournament. She continues on.
"My Real Semblance is Time Manipulation, all those speed ups were the speeding up of your body's time. The super speed was me stopping time. All I can do is accelerate and stop time." AM looks kind of...awkward here. I meanwhile look ticked off, because I might as well.
"Are you daft?"
"I'm not, it's just that I wanted to win..." I look at her unconvinced at the explanation.
"I'll just sit here, unnoticed. Lost in thoughts, all alone."
"Mile..."
"I know, I know. I'm not alone, I have you. Geez, you don't have to say that everytime." And the couple talks. Is this what's known as arguing like a married couple?
"Anyway, I've got to prepare for Beacon with Makoto, see you there." Yeah, sure.
"Sure. Oh and don't forget to use protection!"
"W-what?"
"I'll tell him!"
Oh, I can do so much stuff with them. Man, teasing a couple is fun. Mile looks flustered and he looks like he wants to pull off a Pyrrha. AM looks at me and gives a thumbs up. Mile is pulling a Pyrrha. AM chases after him. I'm sure they'll have a good life.
"Are you Vanilla?" I hear a stranger ask.
"Yeah." I look at the stranger, she has hair covering an eye. That's so stupid. Covering an eye when you don't need to is stupid. I can see the eye.
"I'm...Cinder Fall."

A/N: So.... did you enjoy the chapter? I hope so, anyway here's the important question.

Who should Van end up with? Comment below if you want him to end up with someone. If not, I decide and my decision for now is that he will be alone. Comment on the sentence below.

Pairing?(Van x ?)

Feel free to choose whoever you want. If it doesn't fit into the main story, I'll make a spinoff chapter, just for that.
