D-RWBY: Volume. 3

PvP

Last time ~

Daniel: (eyes sharpen) Mercury...

Mercury were shocked to see that the two lovers were able to find out about it. With no other choice, he gets into his fighting stance.

Port: It looks like our first contender is... Penny Polendina from Atlas... and her opponent will be... Pyrrha Nikos from Beacon!

Mercury: Heh, even if you've stopped me here. It has already be too late.

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

Outside, the arena's center is lifting back into the air, and an oblivious Penny is grinning wildly, with her fellow redhead Nora cheering excitedly from the stands, even getting Ren to let out a reluctant "Yaaay..." The screen fades to black as Pyrrha, face and body still filled with depression, looks to the ground while the stage finishes being set up.

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

Inside, Ruby was angered by what Mercury has done to her sister and lied to basically the entire Remnant. For Daniel however, he was enraged by this. His aura starts to grow even bigger and his eyes were turning blank as his pupils were starting to disappears. Seeing this and terrified, Mercury tries to run away but Daniel raises his right palm and an energy ball appears on it. Fully charged up, he shoots the ball onto Mercury's right leg, which are biomechanical when his leg just exploded once the energy ball came in contact with it.

Mercury: (falls to the ground) AH!!

He screams in pain as he turns to his biomechanical leg are now gone.

Mercury: How dare yo--

Before he could finish, Daniel teleports in front of him and knocks him out cold. As Ruby's trying to head her way to tell the teachers about this, it was already too late for them both. They both hears the audience goes silence as well as Port, started chanting more seriously as he couldn't believe what he had just saw.

Port: No!

Ruby and Daniel turns a corner and emerges from the service tunnel, only to see with their own eyes that they were far too late.

Ruby: (falling to her knees) Penny...

She begins to cry as she falls to her knees, the tears fall as she sobs miserably for the lost of her and Daniel's friend, Penny. Daniel dosen't know how to react to this other than to just... stands there unfazed. He dosen't know how to feel about this. He does feel anger inside of him but, it wasn't enough to make him unleashed whatever inside of him. Before he could think about this even more deeper, Sleek comes up to them, with a sad face on his face. Feeling guilty of not be able to find Emerald, he kneels down to Ruby and hugs her, calming her down.

Oobleck: (putting a hand up to his ear) Broadcast, what are you doing? Kill the feed!

Broadcast Op: (over the earpiece) Something's wrong! We don't have control of the cameras! We can't even stop the broadcast!

Oobleck: What!? How is that possible!?

In answer, the background behind the two teachers changes to the video feed of the sight before them, tinted an ominous bright red with a black queen chess piece hovering over the scene. They turn back to the arena as a familiar voice rings out throughout the Colosseum and the rest of the world watching these events.

Cinder: This is not a tragedy. This was not an accident. This is what happens when you hand over your trust, your safety, your children, to men who claim to be our guardians...
