RWBY and Earth

Friendly Sparring

Knoxville, Tennessee

Norris Lake

December 8, 2019

In the morning of the next day, RWBY, JNPR, and the high schoolers went back to Norris Lake for some more training. They have all done their warm ups and have already chosen their partners for the hour. Weiss is currently teaching Jacob on correcting his stance.

"Try again, Jacob. Your arm needs to be raised more," Weiss said, raising her stick.

Jacob nods and raises his stick in a battle stance. With Pyrrha and Britney, Pyrrha is currently teaching Britney on defense tactics.

"Watch your opponent's body movements. That way, you can predict your enemy's next attacks," Pyrrha said as she struck Britney's side, which she immediately blocked.

Pyrrha quickly gave an overhead strike, as Britney blocked the attack.

"Good, now you're getting it," Pyrrha said.

"Question, shouldn't you guys be sparring with each other for a bit?" Allen asked as he was trading punches with Yang.

"Why? So you guys can slack off on your training?" Yang asked back.

"No, so you can be ready for the Vytal Festival Tournament and prepare for Cinder's planned attack on Beacon," Allen said, throwing a punch at Yang to which she caught with her hand.

"He has a point guys. I mean you can't just be training us. You've got to prepare yourselves for the upcoming events that will soon take place," Robert said, clashing with Ren.

"They are right you know," Jacob said, hurling strikes at Pyrrha, holding her own.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and all looked at Jacob.

"He's right. We should spar a bit," Blake said.

"I recommend you use your training sticks when you all spar," Allen said.

"Yeah we can't let you guys use your weapons. We don't want you to go all gun crazy," Rebecca said.

"Yeah, we mean we can't let people hear gunfire and explosions out here. We are still close to a public area you know," Ricky said.

"Alright, then I guess it's our team against yours?" Ruby asked Jaune.

"Right," he briefly answered.

"Oh my god! We actually get to see RWBY and JNPR fight!" Kelly shouted with excitement.

"I know, right?!" Rebecca agreed.

Weiss, Jaune, and Pyrrha all carried a stick as a makeshift sword, Ren and Blake carried two sticks, Nora had a training stick poked through and tied to a log as a makeshift hammer, Ruby had a long stick with one end drilled to a long piece of flat wood, which made a makeshift scythe, Yang carried nothing and decided to use her bare fists. Both teams readied their sticks while the others stood by and cheered on.

Yang and Nora charged at each other as Yang's fists clashed with Nora's makeshift hammer. As Nora was swinging her hammer at Yang, Yang was constantly dodging her attacks, waiting to strike. She then got an opening and started to throw some punches at Nora. Nora was able to block some of the blows, but one of them hit her in the stomach, sending her flying into a tree.

Blake and Ren ran at each other with a training stick in each hand. Both attackers blocked and parried each other and couldn't land a single blow on each other.

Jaune makes a dash towards Ruby about to strike her. Ruby readies her makeshift scythe. Ruby swings her scythe at Jaune's legs, causing him to fall on his back. She swings at Jaune again, but Jaune dodges the attack. He then retaliates by giving repeated strikes at Ruby, all of which were parried away.

Weiss charges at Pyrrha next. She was striking at Pyrrha in every direction, but Pyrrha was able to hold her own and block and parry every attack made at her.

"Go, Weiss," Kelly cheered.

"You know she's not going to win right?" Jacob asked.

"Hey, it could happen," She said.

"I bet you twenty bucks that Weiss will lose again," he said.

"You're on, sucker," she said.

"Wait again?" Britney asked.

"There is this thing in the show where Weiss loses one on one battles throughout the show's run. So yeah, Weiss is going to lose... again," Allen said.

Yang tries to punch Nora in the face, but Nora kept dodging out of the way. Nora then swings at Yang with her hammer. Yang constantly kept dodging and jumping out of the way of Nora's attacks. Nora gives an underhand swing hitting Yang in the stomach, sending her flying into the air.

Jaune was swaying away from Ruby's scythe as she was trying to land a blow on Jaune. He then grabs a few rocks and throws them at Ruby. She spins her scythe in a propeller like action, deflecting the rocks away. Jaune lunges at Ruby with his stick and hits her in the side. Jaune charges at Ruby again, but Ruby uses her semblance, petal burst to circle around him and swings and Jaune, knocking him to the ground.

Ren right now was currently fending off Blake as she was slashing at him at all sides. He then threw some strikes at Blake with both of his sticks, only to hit a shadow clone, thanks to Blake's semblance, known as shadow. Blake pops up behind Ren and strikes at him, but Ren notices and blocks the attack. He then tries to slash at Blake as she backflips away from his attacks. Blake then blocks Ren's next attack then slashes back at Ren.

With Weiss and Pyrrha, they were both clashing with amazing speed and power. Weiss uses her semblance, glyphs, to create platforms around Pyrrha. She then hops on to one platform to another, slashing at Pyrrha, to which Pyrrha parries all her attacks. Pyrrha strikes at Weiss as she charges at her, knocking her to the ground. Weiss quickly gets up and creates a black glyph underneath Pyrrha's feet, restraining her. Weiss charges at Pyrrha, but Pyrrha whacks her in the head knocking her unconscious.

"Told you so. Pay up, bitch," Jacob said as Kelly angrily gave him twenty dollars.

"Well, Yang, Weiss and Jaune are out. That leaves Ruby, Pyrrha, Nora, Ren, and Blake," Kendra said.

Nora charges at Blake about to strike her, but Blake catches on and jumps out of the way, which causes Nora to accidentally hit Ren into a tree in the process.

"Ren!" Nora cries out.

She the charges at Blake, swinging her hammer at her, but every attack on Blake misses. Ruby dashes towards Pyrrha, slashing at her. Pyrrha dodges at blocks all her attacks, trying to find an opening. Ruby then throws a rock at Pyrrha causing her to dodge, only to hit Nora in the back knocking her to the ground. Blake lunges at Pyrrha as she dodges. Ruby and Blake charge at Pyrrha, unleashing a series of strikes at her while Pyrrha desperately parries and dodges all the attacks. Ruby and Blake strike at Pyrrha, only for her to duck and both girls hit each other knocking each other to the ground. Pyrrha was now the only one standing as Yang fell back down to the ground.

"Pyrrha wins," Jacob calls out, as everyone cheers and applauded. The fallen Beacon students all got up and dusted themselves off.

"Okay who is hungry?" Ruby asked.

Unbeknownst to everyone during the spar, a black helicopter with a camera saw Yang fly up hundreds of feet into the air and back down.

"Do you think we should show this to the FBI?" the first pilot asked.

"If it looks out of the ordinary then yes," the second pilot answered.
