Chapter 7: The Fall Begins

(Opening Theme: RWBY V3 Opening-When It Falls Performed By Casey Lee Williams)

    "And now the moment you've all been waiting for! The one on one finals!"

    Today was the day of the singles rounds. Everyone had been more excited than ever before. Today the winner of one of the academies will walk away as the victor. Everyone had been pumped and they couldn't wait for the fights to take place. They all cheered and clapped for the contestants that stood on the stage wishing all of them the best of luck.

    A total of eight people stood in the middle. Five of them being Yang, Sun, Penny, Mercury and Pyrrha.

    "Barty? Why don't you explain the rules?" Professor Port asked.

"Ah it's quite simple Peter!" Oobleck said, "Instead of a bracket system, each round of the finals will randomly be determined immediately before the match takes place!"

"Much like a good hunt, there will be zero time to prepare!"

"Now with that being said, let's see who the first match will be!"  

    Team RWBY members Ruby, Blake and Weiss were sitting in their usual seats, next to Team JNPR members Jaune, Nora and Ren. There were just two people missing however; that would be the sisters, Destiny and Cristal.

    "Hmm..." Ruby said worried, "... I wonder where they could be."

    "Cristal did text us that Destiny had to use the restroom." Weiss said, "I assume the lines are pretty long."

    "Still... They're taking a long time." Blake said, "I wonder what's keeping them."

    "They had better get here soon!" Nora said, "They're about to announce the first matchup!"

    She had spoken too soon when they saw that the randomization process had already begun. They watched up on the screen as it began to slow down. The first two people up was Mercury Black and Yang Xiao Long.

    "The first match of the day will be Yang Xiao Long of Beacon vs Mercury Black of Haven!" Port said, "Would all other contestants please leave the stage?"

    The other contestants did just that and Pyrrha went to go join up with the rest of her friends. She noticed a couple of people missing. "Where's Destiny and Cristal?" Pyrrha asked, "I thought that they were with you."

    "Cristal told us she had to take Destiny to the restroom." Ren replied.

    "Maybe it was something she ate." Jaune added, "Her message sounded urgent."

    Blake soon stood up from her seat, "Maybe I should go get them."

    "No wait." Pyrrha said stopping her, "I'll go get them. I think Yang would want all of her teammates to see her fight." Before anyone could stop her, she went to take her leave. The stage began to set itself up for the fight between Yang and Mercury. Instead of it being of it being split up, it had just lifted the two of them up off the ground so that everyone could see the fight that would take place.

    Yang smiled to Mercury, "You better not go easy on me."

    Mercury chuckled, "You wish."

    Both of them took their stance and approached each other, slowly to the point where their hands almost touched each other.

    Port started to countdown, "Three... Two... One... FIGHT!"

Thus the fight began.

Yang threw a punch while Mercury kicked, both of the shots echoed throughout the arena causing Mercury to fly back. He charged and tried to kick at her, though Yang had been quick to dodge him. When he started to throw punches she began to block and counter his attacks. Right when he was about to hit her though Yang quickly fired just near his feet, making him hover. He kicked towards her head though she blocked him again. His foot landed on the ground and floor smashed into a crater. Once again he started to send kicks towards her, while she countered over and over.
