RWBY x Destiny Volume 4 (Rise Of The Guardians)

Chapter 10

Soul's POV

Yang was training with her in hand to hand combat. We been training for weeks, Tai was helping me as well. As they fight Yang lifts up her head, arms as the ready for a fight. Taiyang takes a swing at her with his left hand, but she easily blocks it with her robotic wrist, pushing his hand away from her. The interplay repeats with his right and her left, only this time Yang uses the momentum to turn and come back at her father with a roundhouse kick. Taiyang bends backwards to dodge it, his legs in a lunge. He gives his daughter a solid punch, pushing her back a few feet.

I was Nearby, with Zwei and Corgi watches the two spar, panting happily. Beside Corgi is a low stool with two white towels. His head changes angles, oscillating to the sounds of grunts and contact. Abruptly he holds his head straight and makes a noise of surprise.

Taiyang stands alone and moves forward, doing his own roundhouse kick. Yang joins both hands atop each other to block Tai's landing foot. With a loud cry, she pushes it up and back. Taiyang regains his footing in a flip while Yang waits for his landing. Using her robotic arm, she knocks him back with a single hit.

Holding onto his right bicep, Tai slides through the dirt, his feet flat on the ground until he comes to a stop.

Taiyang: Whoa, that thing packs a punch!

Yang: We've been at this for weeks. I get it, you wanna make sure I can still fight. *bumping her own fists* I think I'm doing just fine.

Taiyang: You're close.

He stands upright, walking around her in a circle, he assesses her progress.

Yang: Oh, really?

Taiyang: You're still off balance.

Yang: What?! No I'm not!

Soul: Yeah, he's right Yang

Yang: You're my boyfriend.

Soul: That doesn't I have to agree to everything you say, when it's wrong.

Taiyang chuckles.

Yang: Honestly, I'm kind of surprised.

She lifts her robotic arm, looking down at it with a smile.

Yang: I thought it would be just this huge weight, but it feels... natural. They did a great job with this thing.

Soul: Surprise attack.

Yang: Huh?

Taiyang comes , delivering a left hook right into her face. Yang's upper body rears back both from impact and surprise. She's ready to block his right hook, however, and uses the turning momentum to deliver an elbow jab. Grinning the entire time, Tai blocks it and then dodges all the kicks she follows through with. Yang switches to punches, but Tai is too on point for her. While she uses her left hand to block an elbow thrust, Tai has grasped her robotic arm and pulled it forward. The position puts Yang in the position of having her balance rely on the weight of one leg.

Soul: He wasn't talking about your actual balance Yang.

He sweeps her forward leg, sending her onto the ground on her back. He leaves her there and walks over to Corgi , who happily gets the top towel for him.

Taiyang: Although, that could use some work too.

Taiyang takes the towel and give Corgi a rub on the top of his head. Corgi hums happily. Arms spread on the ground, Yang takes a breath before speaking.

Yang: Meaning?

Taiyang: *toweling off his sweat* I saw your tournament fights. During the Vytal Festival.
