"Let the match, BEGIN!" You immediately raise your body heat, if there's one thing about Yang you know, she's very aggressive, you were right, she goes straight for you. You easily are able to dodge her first few fists, but she's catching a few on you, you're able to put some distance by hitting her with a sweep and backing up quickly. As you do this, Weiss is using her glyphs masterfully and is launching ice crystals at you, you heat up more and they melt before they can even get close, you very quickly lower your body temp from 130 to 35 and rush in on Weiss. She's just as quick if not quicker than Yang, so hitting her is going to be tough, you realize 35 degrees maybe isn't low enough, you gradually lower from 35 to 20 degrees F and finally begin landing a few hits with Thermopylae, you hit her in the gut and follow with a left straight, knocking her back. You shift Thermopylae into rifle form and fire a few rounds at Yang who is already running your way again. You load a gravity cartridge quickly and fire just in front of you, raising your heat before doing so to limit the damage you take.

"Need to stay away from her as long as possible." You fire, launching yourself and her in the process, your aura is at 94, good, plenty, Yang's aura is 89 and Weiss' is 88.

You proceed to lower your temperature even more to 15, the ground is freezing with your steps, however, now you're even faster, you rush Yang and jab at her with crazy speed. She blocks some of the attacks, but most of them land flush, you finish the combo string with a quick sweep into a kick to her midsection, catching her off guard and launching her 20 feet away. Her aura is 66, and she's nowhere to be seen, you charge Weiss with as much speed as possible, luckily for you, you insanely fast.

Unluckily for you, Yang is also insanely fast.

Yang is on you within 5 seconds of being kicked away, and she does not look happy.

"Ooh you've pissed me off now Iceman." She kicks you away, unloads her gauntlets, and loads red shells into them, having some knowledge about Ember Celica, red shells happen to be HE shells, meaning big boom, you heat your semblance up to its soft cap at 130 degrees F just in case one of them hit, you sit in a defensive posture, awaiting one of them to strike.

"Iceman, let's make a bet, If I win, and when I win, you'll have to clean RWBY's dorm for a month, in a male maid outfit." She says giggling, you look at Blake and she winks.

"Alright. What do I get when I win?"

"Exact opposite of what I said, I'll clean JNPR's room for a month in a maid outfit, though it won't happen." You look at Blake and she heard everything, thanks to her ears, she gives you thumbs up.

"I accept firecracker." She gives you a sly grin.

"Get ready." You steel yourself. Yang has become EVEN faster, maybe it's her Semblance, but each blow she throws at you hits harder as well, you're also having trouble dodging her, and every time you get an opening, Weiss is hurling ice at you.

"Okay.. I don't have a choice now.." You get away from Yang for a second. And lower your temperature even more than 15 degrees F
You have gone below zero, you look at the temperature gauge to see it fogging over, you wipe it off and see you're at -20 F, the air around you begins to freeze, Yang looks at you cautiously.

"Well? Come." You taunt her, Yang only gets angrier and rushes you, exactly what you wanted, she's not thinking straight. You manage to get around her side get a solid hit with the hilt of Thermopylae, managing to knock her off her feet. You then look toward Weiss, even she knows she can't fight you as you are now, too late, you're already within range of striking her, you sweep her legs, and land a combo with the blunt end of Thermopylae,sending her into a building wall. She's against it taking multiple hits from you, lowering her aura at a crazy rate, 80, 70, 55, 30.. she's almost done. Out of nowhere, it's Yang, again. She lands a solid blow on you, your Aura wasn't prepared and you took a hell of a punch. Your Aura is low, almost too low, you're at 23 left. You stand up and look at her and Weiss, Yang's hair practically on fire, the embers flowing into the sky.

"Ouch." You say rubbing your cheek.

"I bet." Yang looks at you cockily.

"I'm not out yet." You realize Yang is a much, much bigger threat than you believed, Weiss can wait, Yang is just going to keep coming back if you don't put her down. You charge Yang with your body temperature to the max you can go currently with all your training, 145 degrees F. You feel as if your combat skills should be enough to lower her Aura just enough. As you run toward her, you realize that Yang's defense has also dramatically improved, you land multiple hits on her with Thermopylae and her aura has only gone down to 50, you have to have more damage, you have to risk it otherwise you won't last long enough, you lower your temperature to -50 degrees, being incredibly careful to not lose it. You speak to Yang.

"Yang, your Semblance is about getting hit, mine? Mine is to make sure that doesn't matter." You rush Yang faster than before, she can't even react. You hit her flush with your hilt in her gut and lower her aura to 16 on the dot, you kick her one last time to lower it below the required limit, you hear the buzzer. Yang is out.

"Weiss, just surrender." She adopts a pose and smirks.

"Nah." She raises her rapier and you look at your feet, there's a Glyph, you get scraped by the blast from the Glyph, your aura is at 16.
You have to win. Rush there as fast as possible. You're in front of Weiss in seconds, one hilt strike and its over...

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Your winner is Team ASPRO!!" The crowd erupts with chants. You raise your temperature to regular levels. Not used to being at regular temperatures since before the fight.

"Good job Weiss." You say as you help her up.
"You were just as incredible Y/n! You earned the victory, I see why you're a one man team now." You thank her, then you see Yang.

"Hey firecracker. You owe me."

"Yea yea I know, I'm not going to deny it though, you were the toughest opponent I've fought since I've gotten here."

"Thank you Yang." And all three if you left the arena smiling.

That's the match! Who knew Yang was so op broken. Weiss was a ranged nightmare for you. But your semblance and all the risks paid off. Anyway, thanks again for reading! -P
