Remnants of Doom

[32] Never Miss a Beat

RWBY belongs to Roosterteeth, DOOM belongs to Bethesda/ID Software

---------------------------------------------------------------------

It was currently daytime in the colleseum. The fight was between Sky Lark, Russel Thrush, and Penny Polendina and Ciel Soliel. It couldn't really be called a fight, but instead a beatdown. Russel Thrush was running away from Penny's swords which was basically on his heels in a frisbee like formation but was quick to jump and behind a Boulder. The blades suddenly stopped in the air and pointed directly at Russel before shooting forth and stabbing into the boulder. Russel looked over it with a bit of a Scared look. Sky Lark was rushing to the nearest boulder as well, being a little late but was able to make up by using his weapon, Feathers Edge, as a pole to boost himself over the boulder and narrowly dodging the blades as he landed behind the boulder. The two looked two each other as if they tried to make a plan but Russel was first to look back to Penny with a somewhat scared: "Huh?" exiting his throat. 

Penny held a victorious smirk as she looked to Ciel to see if she approved. Only for her to tap her Wrist watch as if to say she was running out of time. With penny noticing, she immediately snapped her head back to the two behind the boulders before raising her hands. The sword's metallic strings tightened as it was suddenly risen up. "Uwwaahh!!" A cry came from Russel as he held on tightly. Sky however, wasn't holding onto the boulder but was too late to react as Penny slammed the boulders down. Easily crushing Sky and knocking him out along with taking out both of their auras. Pieces of the broken boulders flew everywhere as Penny recalled her swords and folded up and sheathed itself into the small metallic bag on her back before it closed. "And victory goes to Penny and Ciel of Atlas." The energetic, coffee loving voice of Professor Oobleck came from the intercom while Penny bowed in respect and folded her arms behind her back. "Thank you for a wonderful time." Penny thanked before she and Ciel turned. Russel tried to reach out but a Rock hit him atop of his head and sent his head into the ground.

Everyone cheered as Penny and Ciel exited the Arena. In a few minutes, Ciel and Penny was making their way out of the Collosuem but was eventually stopped once Ruby appeared behind them, a few meters away. Slayer too followed up as Ciel looked at him with both curiosity, and suspicion. "Penny!" Ruby squealed with her arms up as Penny turned. "Ruby!" Penny exclaimed before she ran forward and tackle-hugged Ruby. "Whyyyy..." Ruby strained out before Penny let go of her and stood up quickly. Ruby followed suit but was slower than expected since she was literally tackled to the ground by a whole ass robot. "Ruby, this is my teammate." Penny spoke as she motioned her hand to Ciel. Who introduced herself and bowed a little before straightening her stance. "Hi, I'm Ru-" She was suddenly cut off as Ciel began listing off things about Ruby. "Ruby Rose, Fifteen, Hails from Patch, Status;.... Questionable." Ciel finished off before Penny introduced Slayer. "And this is Slayer." Penny walked around Ruby, patting Slayer's metallic shoulder. "Slayer... Not a lot is known about you. You were founded in the Emerald Forest fighting off an incredible amount of Grimm that would take multiple teams of heavily trained Huntsmen and Huntresses." Ciel listed off whatever information she known on him given to her.

Slayer immediately became tense. His eyes narrowing at her before Ruby tried to change the subject. "Soo... Penny! You were so cool out there! How do you keep control all of those swords?! It's so cool-" And before Ruby could continue ranting, Ciel interrupted with a raise of her wrist and tapping her watch. "Penny. I believe it is best if we move on to our next location." Ciel lightly scolded. "Could we just have a minute to talk?" Penny asked as Ciel looked down at her watch for a moment before talking a large step back and nodding and beginning to watch the time. Ruby and Penny turned their back to her before continuing to talk. "So is she... your friend or..." Ruby let it hang in the air before Penny took it. "Well, in a way. She's like Blake. But if blake was Ordered to spend time with you." Penny waved her hand around a little to emphasize what she was stating. "Oh! So Weiss." Ruby joked which actually earned a chuckle from Slayer. It was a deep rumbling noise. Ruby looked over with a surprised look but smiled as she was actually able to make Slayer chuckle. Lately he was beginning to show a bit more emotion than when they first met. Though Penny ignored this and continued on. "Precisely." Penny hummed as Ruby continued talking.
