Atlas's Heart

Extra Extracurricular

Come now or never...
We're all here waitin'...
Come with everything you have,
but don't be mistaken.

Y/n's team stand in front of Beacon, guarding it with weapons drawn.

We are the fight,
don't care who is right...
We only know who's left behind
and who will be taken.

Y/n's eyes tighten as he looks at Roman, with two silhouettes behind him, a smaller one, and a taller one.

One day
You're gonna lie there
Dead in your grave
They're gonna say
that you never did enough!

Team JNPR join beside Y/n and his team, Jaune nods at you.

You'll never play in the big leagues,
Never compare to me
You'll never be
a warrior!

Team RWBY joins Y/n to his right, they all draw their weapons.

You're gonna fall to your knees,
and the more that you bleed
you get weak and it's
all over!

Weiss moves from beside Ruby to beside Y/n, she looks at him and smirks.

You never could compete
You'll never compare to me
You'll never be
a warrior!

Y/n and Weiss grab hands and run forward together at the villains.

Try to tear us down!
We'll rise back up!

Alecks and Tyler begin to dismantle the enemy with flames and a hailstorm of bullets.

We're higher now!
Your will your weapons not enough!

Team JNPR kill a few Grimm and turn around only to find a King Taijitu emerging from the ground.

We stand as one!
Prepare to fall!

Weiss and Y/n look at the horde of Grimm and go together to kill them, their respective teams and JNPR join.

Yeah you can try,
But you can't Break Through This Wall!

Y/n stands face to face with a dark, feminine silhouette, gripping his weapons angrily.
——————————————————————————————————————————————

You, Alecks, Tyler, and all of Team RWBY just witnessed the greatest beat down in the history of beat downs.

"Man! Pyrrha is a badass!!" You yell out.

"Swear jar!" Ruby yells quickly.

"Oh c'mon! Jut this once?" You ask her.

"Fine. Because she is really cool..." Ruby gives up the swear jar for the first time ever.

"As always, amazing work Ms. Nikos."

"Thank you Professor!" Pyrrha bows to Glynda.

"Now is there anyone else who wishes to fight? Ms. Belladonna? You've been awfully quiet these past few days. How about you—."

"I'll go." Some dude a couple rows over says.

"Ah, Mercury is it? Who would you like to face?"

"Hmmm... I want to fight... her." He points at Pyrrha.

"I'm afraid Ms. Nikos has just finished a battle, Please pick someone else."

"Why Pyrrha? She just fought..." You think to yourself.

"I'll fight him." You say out loud.

"Y/n Ironwood, you have also been really quiet, it's quite unlike you. Mercury, Y/n, please retrieve your weapons and gear and return to the stage.

"No need." You both say. You use your Semblance to call Sol and Luna to you. Mercury just puts on an impressed smug smile. You both jump down from the bleachers and stand across from each other.

"Are you both ready?" You nod and so does Mercury.

"Begin." If there's one thing you learned from your father, he who makes the first move often reveals his strategy in doing so. You decide to take things slow and wait for him to make a move. He runs at you and does a bicycle kick, you dodge it and fire Luna behind you, rocketing you forward. You sweep his legs as he lands and stand up beside him with Sol pointed at his face. You give him a cold stare, as you're very suspicious of him.

"I forfeit." He says lying on the ground. This takes you aback.

"You what?" You ask, removing Sol from his face.

"Why?" You ask.

"You're obviously leagues above me, there's no point in figh—."

"I'm only second to Pyrrha, if I'm leagues ahead of you, I wouldn't recommend going against her." You tell him with a hint of aggression.

"Thanks for the advice." He stands up.

"The winner is Y/n Ironwood, next time please try to plan out a more effective strategy Mercury, planning is key to combat."

"Yes ma'am." He says casually walking back to his seat.

"I'm afraid thats all the time we have today students. Remember, the Vytal Festival is right around the corner! Keep practicing!" Glynda finishes class with that sentence. You keep staring at Mercury as he walks out, he seems to take notice and just smiles, giving you a thumbs up. You almost charge him, but Alecks and Tyler are there to stop you.

"Hey man, you good?" Alecks asks.

"That guy. Something's off about him. Also, when I sweeped his legs, they didn't feel like normal legs. My blades made a clanking noise on contact."

"So what? The kid's got prosthetics."

"Exactly, that kid. Who is a freshman at Haven, first year of schooling at a Huntsman Academy. Plus he wanted to fight Pyrrha even though she had just fought and he knew how good she was. If there's anything I've learned from father, it's to trust your gut and also make the best decision."

"My gut says the guy was cocky and you put him down." Alecks replies.

"I'm with Alecks on this one. By the way, slick as hell how you took him down and basically posed on him." Tyler says.

"Thanks..." You say thinking about what it is he could've been thinking.

"That kid is way too smart, he caught on to what I was trying to do almost instantly."

"Well, he was raised by the General. Doesn't surprise me his awareness is that high."

"It doesn't matter, we at least know his Semblance is some sort of telekinesis."

"I don't think so, you saw what happened at initiation remember?"

"You're right, either way the kid is tough."

"Well, we will see just how tough he is very soon." A piece of hair is lifted into the air.

"And if I'm wrong about his Semblance, this will tell us everything..."
