Professor Ozpin himself walks back to his desk and pours himself a drink from his teapot as he watches the Vytal Festival Tournament's roulette system deciding the next match.
Oobleck: (over the broadcast) Alright, it's now time to begin the randomization process for our next fight!
Port: It looks like our first contender is... Penny Polendina, from Atlas! And her opponent will be... Pyrrha Nikos, from Beacon!
Ozpin seats himself behind his desk and takes a sip from his cup as he stares at the "randomized" fight to be.
Down in the arena of Amity Colosseum, Pyrrha is still looking hesitant and distracted while Penny politely salutes her opponent.
Penny: (hands on her hips in excitement) Sal-u-tations, Pyrrha Nikos! It's an honor to finally meet you!
The troubled Pyrrha doesn't respond, looking at her hands as she clenches them in attempted determination.
Penny: (not noticing Pyrrha's reluctance) This is going to be so much fun!
In the same structure behind closed doors, Ruby Rose is still facing down an up-and-standing Mercury Black, who's smugly smiling at the younger girl's confusion.
Ruby: Mercury, what are you doing? You were hurt! Why... (narrows her eyes in suspicion) What's going on? (Mercury doesn't answer, still grinning with malice) Fine. If you're not going to tell me... (she attempts to move around him, but he blocks her path, then does it again when she sidesteps)
Oobleck: (over the announcement system to draw Ruby's attention away) Fighters, are you ready?
Mercury smirks.
Penny beams widely in anticipation, but Pyrrha is still looking around as if in a daze, though she manages a small scowl at her opponent, her weapons Miló and Akoúo̱ already in hand.
Oobleck: (counting down as General James Ironwood calmly sits to observe the fight, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren cheer for their teammate while Jaune Arc simply watches anxiously, and Emerald Sustrai leans forward with a glare) 3, 2, 1... (Oobleck leans forward) BEGIN!
Suddenly, Penny is surrounded by Floating Array, gesturing the swords around to her command before launching a volley of them at Pyrrha, who runs towards them and leaps though or deflects each aimed blade. The swords fly into the air until they turn around and come back to the fight.
Mercury: (looking back at Ruby) Showtime.
He goes forward, blocking Ruby's path with his arms outstretched, restraining her movements no matter where she moves. Panicked, she grimaces and spins forward, becoming a blur of red and petals rocketing toward Mercury, only for the villain to kick her twice mid-dash with Talaria and knock her unconscious to the ground. As she slides across the ground Y/n sprints into the hallway and punches Mercury into the wall.
Y/n: couldn't beat me before, think you can now?
Mercury: I killed my own father, you think I can't take you?
Y/n: (smirking) let's find out.
Y/n and Merc charge at each other and clash, Y/n gains the upper hand and starts landing swings on Mercury. He then unleashes his cards on him and freezes his knee joints and kicking in the head breaking his aura.
Y/n: looks like a no to me.
Mercury: you sure?
He then pushes off the ground and slams into Y/n with a double kick and diving at him again, Y/n sees this and steps to the side clothes-lining Mercury and then kicks him in the head knocking him out as Ruby is waking up and running for the arena.
