"BEGIN!!!!"

The moment the airhorns around the arena blare, you and Heath dash towards each other and lock weapons, not wasting any precious time.

10 minutes was hardly any time in a fight, after all.

Heath hops back and spins, which you manage to block both swings. He continues swinging his axes rapidly, forcing you to defend and dodge.

But, as you set your feet to attack back, Heath suddenly circled around you and swung low, forcing you to jump away. Heath doesn't let up however, as he chases you down and kicks you to the ground.

Quickly recovering, you roll out of the way as Heath throws an axe towards you. In turn, you wait for Heath to land and lunge at him, but Heath blocks your swing with his other axe and punches you in the stomach with his free hand, causing you to droop over. 

This gives Heath the opportunity to flip over you and strike you in the back with his axe, before quickly switching his weapon to its shotgun form.

The pyromaniac fires a shot, but you manage to block its pellets with your sword. He continues to open fire, but you started to spin your sword and charge towards him. Now up close, you feint a slash to his stomach, which fakes Heath out as he blocks low. 

Now vulnerable, you spun around and slashed him on the head, causing Heath to grunt in pain. You follow up with a few more slashes, but to your surprise, Heath ducks under one of your slashes and blasts you square in the stomach, which sends you back.

However, before you could even catch a breath, Heath grabbed his other axe and charged straight towards you, forcing you to be back on the defensive as you dodged and blocked. He was not giving you any time to breathe, he wanted this match to be over, right here and now.

This causes Ruby and her team to look on with worried expressions on their faces, noticing how you were struggling to keep up with Heath's offense.

Port: It seems as if Heath Slater has taken control of this match!

Oobleck: What speed! What dexterity! What POWER!

This causes Ruby to frown. She holds her hands together and hovers them under her chin.

Ruby: Y/N's really struggling down there...

Weiss: He's being forced to play into Heath's pace. He needs to try and create space to reset the fight.

Grace: That's just how Heath fights. He gives no mercy.

Blake: This would be the perfect time for Y/N to use his power.

Yang: I was going to say, yeah. Maybe he's saving it for later...?

With every swing, you could feel your breath hitch in your throat, tensing up to block or dodge. You were given no time to relax whatsoever, as Heath continued his relentless onslaught.

But, you notice that Heath was starting to repeat his attack patterns and was slowing down. Realizing this, you dodge an incoming overhead swing and crouch low to sweep your legs. This trips Heath over, giving you a massive opening to deliver 3 sharp blows with your sword. And, with a mighty kick, Heath skids back to a stop, giving you space to breathe.
