Lurking Darkness

An Even Fight

As you watch Pyrrha and Ren dominate their doubles opponents, you begin to wonder exactly who would be a fun fight.

"There's Emerald and Mercury, apparently they're very challenging and I love a good challenge, ooh there's Sun and Sage, but I don't think they'd be that difficult. Sun has speed and agility, but Sage is a slow, lumbering giant, easy to avoid, and easy to attack. Maybe Coco and Yatsuhashi, I don't know about them though, Coco's weapon could shred my aura in seconds." As Pyrrha and Ren return to the stands, you congratulate them both. Ren bows respectively and thanks you.

"Thank you Y/n, I will be here for you fight as well, I'm excited to see who you're matched with." If only she knew you were just as excited.

"Well I got to go get ready, being a single man team, I have the luxury of knowing WHEN I'll fight at least." You wave to Pyrrha and the rest of JNPR. With your weapon and armor at the ready you walk out onto the field, cheers erupt fro the stands.

"Oho! Seems we have a crowd favorite!" Professor Port announces.

"Team ASPRO, your opponents will be..."

"Emerald, Mercury."

"Sun, Sage."

Or...

"Yang Xiao Long and Weiss Schnee of Team RWBY!"

You smile widely, you've talked the talk, now it's time to walk the walk.

"Huh, funny seeing you here Y/n." Yang states.

"About as funny as this matchup." You speak back.

"What are you talking about?" Weiss asks.

"You guys both realize you're basically the polar opposites to my Semblance right? Weiss is all about ice and her glyphs, and Yang's semblance is literally named Burn for Grimm's sake." You chuckle.

"Dude, I didn't even realize that." Now Yang is laughing loudly. She very quickly gets in fighting stance, as does Weiss after scoffing at Yang. You prepare the same way.

"Let the match, BEGIN!"

Quicky, next chapter is entirely devoted to this battle, so it's going to be a good one, anyways, thanks for reading! -P
