The next day they all get up and get ready. Gabriel meets up with Char and Burn. After that they see the rest at breakfast. "Hey guys. So, I'm guessing you want to know about these two." He said as he pointed to Char and Burn. They were wearing very old clothes. "Well," Char starts," Me and my sister were around when the gantlets were first created. So, we volunteered to be the pure souls for them. After that Gabriel and his family helped take care of us. They took care of us until Gabe's great great great great uncle gave them to a friend of his to protect. We've been in the Xiao Long family ever since. So, Gabriel we are ready to go back in." "Ok. Yang I'm gonna need the gantlets." Yang took them off and handed them to Gabe. "Ok. You two just lay down and I'll put the gauntlets on you." Char and Burn did what he said and laid down. Gabriel started to pray. "Lord, these two are ready to serve their duty to you all those they serve." With that, they went back to the gauntlets and stayed there. "Now Yang," Gabriel started, "you can no longer use dust shells. I can supply you with enough shells to last a life time. Every time they start to mess up, rather come to me, or strip the parts and thoroughly clean and oil every part. That's about it." Yang nodded to what he said. "Now we have class."

In combat class, Goodwitch stood in the center of the field. "Today we have a special fight. As you all know, the Torchwigs fought in great battles and practice bouts. Today we have a Torchwig fight. It will be Juane and Gabriel vs Yang, Pyrrha, Coco, and Ruby." She announced. Gabriel and Jaune walked down to the field. Coco, Yang, Pyrrha, and Ruby got prepared.

Coco got her handbag ready. Ruby took cover in the back, Yang cocked her gantlets, and Pyrrha drew her sword. Jaune and Gabe just stood there talking. "Begin!" Goodwitch shouted. The girls started with a long-range barrage. Gabe put up some cover with his powers. The guys took something out of their jackets. All of a sudden, the girls were getting shot at. When they looked from their cover they saw that Gabe and Juane were shooting at them. Gabriel with a M16 and Juane with a Commando. The girls finally realized they can't win from long range. Coco and Ruby stayed back to provide cover as Pyrrha and Yang tries to go hand to hand with Gabe and Juane. Juane pulled something else out of his jacket. As Pyrrha charged at Juane, he fired something at her. She soon realized he had an old school shotgun. A SPAS-12 to be exact. She was having a hard time dodging the spread shot and when she managed to hit him, he'd just wave it off as if it was nothing. Yang wasn't doing any better. She charged at Gabriel. He didn't block or nothing, just stood there. As she made contact, Gabe just scoffed it off and said "Weak." He then charged at her, punched and threw her to the ground. Gabriel picked her off the ground, threw her onto his shoulder, took hold of her legs so her body is across his. He then ran forward and finally slammed himself and her down to the ground. He rolled up and stood on his feet. Just then he got hit by a sniper bullet. He collapsed to his knees.

Jaune noticed this, but let his guard down. This let Pyrrha slash him across the chest and shoot him. Juane was kicked to where Gabriel was. Coco appeared in front of them and pointed her gun at them. "Do you yield?" She asked. Gabriel mumbled something. "What was that, I couldn't hear you." She taunted. "I said I will never yield!" Gabe shouted. Just then Juane threw something down at their feet and covered his eyes. It was a flashbang. Gabe and Juane pushed back Coco and Pyrrha. Just then they pulled out some pretty big guns. Gabriel pulled out a chaingun he calls the Death Machine. Juane pulled out two M60's. They started shooting willy nilly. Bullets were flying everywhere. The girls were being pushed back. Coco, being in the front, was hurt the most and out of the match. Juane spotted Ruby trying to snipe them but he shot her down and she was out too. Yang activated her semblance and charged at Gabe. Pyrrha tried to pull their guns from them but failed so she charged at Juane. Juane caught Pyrrha and it was the end of her. He put her on his shoulder like Gabe did with Yang. He slammed Pyrrha but still had her hooked by the neck and with that, their heads next to each other, Juane slammed her neck on his shoulder as she stood straight up and collapsed. She was out. Gabriel caught Yang mid charge with a strong uppercut to her gut, he then pushed her back, sent a palm to her chest, a punch to her gut, and a dragon roundhouse kick to her face. She was sent flying to the side. Gabe spun at her and did a corkscrew kick upward and curled it back down. He stomped on her one finally time, and she was declared out of the fight. With that almost everyone was shocked that they won. As far as they knew, Gabriel never fought and Juane sucked. All but Mike and Ren thought that.

In the med wing of beacon, Yang, Ruby, Coco, and Pyrrha are recovering. "How did you manage to beat us?" Coco asked. "Well," Gabe started, "in a Torchwig fight, you fight till you can't fight no more. So, if you think your opponent can still fight, then the fight isn't over. You do what you have to do to get your opponent to stay down. That's why we used weapons you're not used to. We knew we'd have the advantage." Pyrrha started to shuffle in the bed. "Hey Pyr." Juane said. "Oh, h- hey Juane. I didn't know you'd be here." Pyrrha said surprised. "Why wouldn't I be. You are my partner after all. Anything I can get you." He assured. "No, not right now. " she answered "Ok, just call me if you need anything." Juane left the room.
