Yang Xiao Long X Male Reader: Building the Armor

Just a Mundane Fight

You and your team were inside the locker room leading up to the sparring floor. You were getting everything ready for combat. Silver laced up his vambraces and chest plate while loading up dust rounds and rockets into his axe and ammo pouches. Burly revered up his chainsaw wrist blades, getting ready for a brawl. He mounted up his shoulder pads, his knee and thigh guards. His chest armor as well. Gure was mounting up his own armor, shoulder pads, vambraces, getting his blade ready for a battle against your shared foe.

You loaded round after round into your shotgun. Checking out the different modes to make sure everything was in order, you turned to your team leader and nodded. Silver nodded back at you as the four of you walked out and into the arena. The second you all stepped outside, you were met with a blinding light and then everything solidify as you entered the sparring grounds.

All around the arena were random students, Teams JNPR and RWBY all here to spectate the battle. From the opposing side stood Team CRDL, all looking pissed and ready to cut someone down without remorse. You looked back up to the stands and saw Yang give you a thumbs up with a cheery and peppy look to her. You couldn't help but just envision her wearing a cheerleader outfit with your team name on it, routing for you.

You returned your gaze to CRDL as they were all getting ready for the fight.

Gure: Alright, Boss, you know them pretty well. Tactics?

Silver: Dove is strongest in terms of brute strength. Russel, the fastest. He and Sky would move around back while Cardin and Dove push from the front. We outmatch them in terms of speed. Burly and (Y/N) easily outmatch them in brute strength.

(Y/N): S-So what do we do?

Silver: Gure, your our speed. Focus on keeping them on their toes. Burly, outmaneuver Dove. His weak point is his back. I'll handle Sky.

(Y/N): Wait that means-

Silver: You can take him. Trust me. I wouldn't put you up against him if I felt different.

(Y/N): O-O-Okay.

Burly: I will back you up if necessary, my friend.

(Y/N): Ok. Let's do this!

The eight of you began your stand off, facing one another with hateful intent. Each side believing they had the angels on their backs. Before the two teams could run and attack one another, both Professors Goodwitch and Ozpin walked in as aura meters appeared on the holo-board.

Glynda: Now then. This will be a tournament style fight. So, once someone's aura hits the red, they are out. If you exit the designated battlefield, you are out! And, if you are knocked out, YOU ARE OUT! If you chose to break these rules, then you and I will have a "lovely" conversation afterwards. So then...3-2-1. Fight!

Gure went to hands and feet and threw himself towards Lark, kicking him in the face. Dove charged forward with Cardin, both moving into a shared strike. Burly blocked the attack, basically being pinned down by the two. You ran around Burly and Cardin and grabbed Cardin's shirt collar and flipped over and threw him away from your teammate.

You turned around to assist Burly only to be punched in the face by Dove. Dove was able to push Burly back with a shove but was unable to dodge an attack from Dove. Silver run around back and slash at Dove's, causing him to groan in pain. After you stood up, Russel came up to you and began to attack. You dodged left and right as you saw Cardin behind you.

(Y/N): Uh, guys?!

The more you were getting backed up, the closer Cardin got and got his mace ready for an attack. As he was about to bring down his weapon on top of you, Burly was able to throw Cardin at Dove. Gure began to engage Russel, clearly outmatching him with speed while you leapt towards Lark and began to wail down on him.
