The Amity Colosseum is still floating high amid the cheers of an excited audience as the two opposing pairs of partners for the match, the grinning Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai against there random oppnnents. Which Confuses Cinder. What was taking Coco and Yatsuhashi so long then she looks at the Screen and Her eyes widen. Askad Interfered and It was Omega and Xero the two where going to fight. She looks down at the stage and Sees Omega and Xero walking in. Xero with Aeroblade and Omega With Joy and terminator
Port: (over the broadcaster speakers) Emerald and Mercury of Haven, versus Omega and Xero of Beacon!
The Colosseum chooses four fields to rise up from below in quarter sections: A patch of tall grassy plains which has a single tree and some rocks; the ruins of a city, complete with buildings holding shattered windows and rubble among the pavement; a hot spring containing geyser spots along a small river and some blue Dust crystal growths; and a familiar section of dense forest.
Xero: So. Who to attack first.
Omega: Go for merc. be quick. Them help me with emerald.
Instead of charging forward, Mercury and Emerald slowly walk back into the tall grass and disappear behind the leaves.
Xero: think running away is going to work. Omega Back to back.
Soon the two go back to back. They have 360 degree view of the arena.
Omega: Ready
Xero: ya
Omega: HEAVEN OR HELL
Xero: LET'S. Huh
Xero looks up in the air to See Merc Sky kicking aimed at Xero but before Mercury drops from the sky, aiming for Xero. It was a big mistake As Xero uses Blood wire to Grab Merc and Slam him to the ground.
Xero: Sorry lad but if you wanted round 2. Then You face me like a fucking man
Xero the lunges at Merc With his Aero Blade slicing the air. Mercury dodges the attack Before Xero Swaps To the APS's And he strikes Merc. Meanwhile with Omega He Watches the fight Before Dodging Emeralds grappling hooks and grabing them. He then yanks them forward Giving Emerald Her position up as she if is flung forward to the middle ground. The Impact Halves her aura. Omega then Unloads all of Joy into her Shattering the aura. Omega then desummons Joy and Terminator and summons Ballisticas Running to where Merc and Xero are. Xero instead of surrendering like in the practice match Is going full force on Merc using Blur. Omega uses is Semblance as well elbowing Merc to a building before unloading all of his ammo in Merc. Xero then Uses Nightstar and throws it at merc Shattering his aura. Ending the match.
To Say that Cinder was angry is an understatement. She was fucking fuming and ready to explode. Not only Did Askad interfere on her last night But Omega Shattered Emeralds Aura making unable to use her semblance to make the first step early.
In an elegant twilit pavilion area of ivy-covered pillars, rounded archways, and lion-decorated fountains, Weiss Schnee and her elder sister Winter are sitting at a simple table with a plate full of croissants and strawberries. Winter is sipping from her teacup as Weiss repeats the news she was just told.
Weiss: You're... leaving?
Xero: fuck
Winter: (setting her cup down) Yes. I was merely needed to oversee the transport of additional units to Vale. Our last shipment was lost to an ambush. I believe you had a run-in with its cargo, actually. It's fortunate those Paladins were in the prototype stage; otherwise your team may not have fared so well. (as Weiss sighs and looks down dejectedly, she grabs her sister's hand reassuringly) Weiss, you've done... well, out here, on your own. You should be proud. I'll be honest, it was quite amusing seeing Father's face the day you left for Beacon!
Weiss: (straightening up and smiling now, arms crossed) I can't wait to show him what I learned!
Winter: Oh? Then what do you think you've learned?
Weiss: (not directly looking at her sister) What do you mean? I'm getting better and better with my glyphs! I've even started Time Dilation!
Winter: (staring intently at her sibling) And what of your Summoning?
Weiss: I... (sighs and looks away) You know I can't.
Xero: and I don't know I can do glyphs.
Winter: Don't be ridiculous. Every Schnee has the ability to summon. We have for generations.
Weiss: (splaying her hands as she exasperatedly cries:) I've tried! It's just... it's the one thing I've been having trouble with!
Winter: We Schnees are unique. Unlike many, our Semblance is hereditary. But that doesn't mean it will come easily. (lifts her hand to summon a small, elaborate glyph over her palm) Your Semblance is like a muscle. The more you practice with it, the stronger it will become. But if you only focus on one aspect of it... (the glyph expands suddenly in a bright flash, causing Weiss to turn away before looking back up in awe at the white-and-blue Beowolf now at her sister's side) If you fail to test the limits of what you think is possible, then you'll never truly grow.Weiss smiles at this display of power she hopes to achieve, before cutting to...
Ruby: (as red action lines appear behind her with oriental battle music playing) You'll never beat me, old man!
Qrow: (with similar blue lines behind him) You're nothing but talk, kid!
Yang: (calling out her support as purple lines follow her) You can do it, Ruby!
Then the entire scene is revealed to be in team RWBY's dorm room at Beacon Academy, and the screen of the video game Ruby and Qrow are playing is shown just as one of the pixelated ninjas decapitates the other, with the announcer saying "SOARING NINJA WINS! TOTAL ANNIHILATION!" Qrow grins at his victory as Ruby lowers her head in shame.
Yang: (whispering) Ouch.
Qrow: And by the way, don't ever call me old.
Omega: Old man.
Qrow: What did I say
Omega: (pushing her sibling out of her spot as she grabs the spinning controller from the air) Well My turn
Qrow: (while the game begins again with "NEW CHALLENGER APPROACHES!") Now, where was I?
Ruby: (popping up from behind the two players excitedly) You were telling us about your last mission!
Qrow: Right, right... (flashes back to his story as the art style changes to reflect the dark setting and eerie neighborhood the blade-wielding warrior is walking through) I'd come across a small village in the swamps west of Mistral. Right off the bat, I knew something wasn't right.
Ruby: What were you doing there?
Qrow: I needed information. Tired from battling Grimm along the way, I decided to start my search at the town's inn. The place was crawling with lowlifes and thugs, even a few Huntsmen that I could only assume had been hired by less-than reputable people for less-than respectable jobs. And that's when it happened.
Yang: (as Qrow looks at something in the shady inn, wide-eyed at what he sees) What happened?
Qrow: (kneels in his flashback under a spotlight) I was defeated... by the mere sight... (suddenly grins at what he saw is revealed) of the innkeeper's skirt length!
The vision of pink hearts, a beautiful maid with slightly-skimpy clothing, and the very happy Qrow is interrupted by a thrown dog-head pillow, which Qrow deftly catches much to Yang's ire (Soon the announcer says "BLOOD RONIN WINS! TOTAL ANNIHILATION!").
Omega: Still holding that title uncle. Come on!
Ruby: (as she seats herself on Weiss' bed) So, Uncle Qrow, did you get in trouble with Ozpin?
Qrow: (waving the question off) Nah, me and Oz go way back. We're cool.
Yang: (scoffing) Cool for an old guy.
Qrow: (looking mad now) Not funny.
Ruby: So, what are you doing here anyway? I thought Dad said that you would be on a mission, for like... ever.
Qrow: (getting back into the game at the sound of "READY? FIGHT!") Well, a professional Huntsman like myself is expected to get results, as soon as possible.
Ruby: Yeeeeaaaah, I get that. (laughs) We're pretty much pros, too.
Qrow: Oh, really?
Yang: Psch, yeah! Read the news sometime. We totally saved Vale while you were gone.
Qrow: Funny, because I heard Vale suffered a Grimm attack after you almost managed to stop a train. (leaning over to rub it in his niece's face as she scowls at the repeated "BLOOD RONIN WINS! TOTAL ANNIHILATION!") But they don't give out medals for almost.
Omega yawns.
Ruby: (resolutely) They do, and it's called silver!
Yang: Well, we helped take down Roman Torchwick! He's locked up in Ironwood's ship and crime's been down ever since! That's basically a bounty mission!
Qrow: Sure, you may be acting like Huntresses, but you're not thinking like one. You really think four girls and their friends could end all crime in a Kingdom?
Ruby: (tapping her fingers together in embarrassment) I mean, I did until you said that...
Qrow: (sounding more serious now) Violence hasn't dropped since Roman got nabbed; it's stopped, completely. No White Fang activity anywhere around the city. You cut off the head of the King Taijitu, but now the second head's calling the shots. That's what Ironwood can't get through that thick metal head of his.
Yang: (exchanging a look with Ruby) You... know the General?
Qrow: (back to his usual joking demeanor) Hey, I know everybody to some extent. Remember, you're talking to a member of the coolest team that graduated Beacon! (reaches behind him into one of his pockets and pulls out a photo lined with stains and age of four figures - himself, Raven Branwen, Taiyang Xiao Long, and Summer Rose - as Yang's eyes widen and he sighs in remembrance) Hah, Team STRQ... That's where I met your parents. We were pretty well known back in the day.
Ruby: Well known for crummy fashion sense!
Qrow: Hey, we looked good! And I have a number of inappropriate stories to back that up! (wiggles his eyebrows suggestively, but notices Yang continuing to stare at the picture and puts it away) But, I'll save those for when you're older.
Ruby: (recoils in disgust) Oh, gross!
Qrow: (getting up and walking out) Anyways, I'm too old to be hanging out with a bunch of kids. You're gonna cramp my style. (pauses in the doorway and sighs before addressing his family, Ruby and Yang looking up to him and Zwei sleeping on Blake's bed) Look, just remember that you've still got a long way to go... (turning around and holding a finger up to express his seriousness) And don't think for a second that graduating means you're done. (hitches a thumb over his shoulder) Every day out there is worth a week in this place. You two, you're gonna go far. But only if you keep learning; if you never stop moving forward.
With these immortal words of wisdom, Qrow exits down the hall.
Back in the pavilion, a caterpillar is slowly inching around on the edge of a fountain at Weiss points her Myrtenaster at the ground, creating a rotating glyph made of blade symbols with Winter behind her, appraising the effort.
Winter: Excellent form! Now think to your fallen foes! The ones who forced you to push past where you were, and become who you are now. (as the glyph flickers in and out of existence and Weiss grimaces in concentration) Think of them, and watch as they come to your side.
Xero was listen to music with his ear buds on his MP3.
Weiss: (doing her hardest to make the wobbling circle follow her will, but eventually dismisses it and stomps the ground angrily) I can't!
Winter: (her hand immediately comes down on Weiss' head in a slap) Stop doubting yourself!
Weiss: (turning around to face her sister) I'm trying!
Winter: If this is what you call trying, then you have no hope of winning the tournament, let alone succeeding as a Huntress! (suddenly smiling as if an idea has occurred to her) Why don't you just move back home? I'm sure Father would give you a nice job as a receptionist!
Weiss: (looking away) I don't need his charity!
Winter: (leaning in) But you do need his money, don't you?
Weiss: (surprised) What!? How did you know about that!?
Winter: (straightening back up) Lucky guess. I may have been in a similar situation when I joined the military. So what have you done this time?
Weiss: (as Winter circles around her) Well, that's the thing: I'm really not sure! I went to pay for lunch the other day, but the card didn't work!
Winter: How embarrassing.
Weiss: I know! (sees Winter shaking her head) Well, it was! Why would he cut me off like that?
Winter: Perhaps so that you'd stop avoiding him and call home.Instead of answering, Weiss attempts once more to create a summoning glyph, gritting her teeth until Winter places a consoling hand on her shoulder.
Winter: Emotions can grant you strength. But you must never let them overpower you. (the attempted glyph flickers and fades once more, though neither of them pay it any attention) It sounds to me like you have two choices in front of you. You can either call him, beg for his money back, and explain once more why you would want to study at Beacon over Atlas, or you could continue to explore Remnant, discovering more about the world and honestly, more about yourself. (she allows Weiss a moment to absorb this information until revealing:) It's time for me to go. (she gives her sister a hug, which is returned)
Weiss: (breaking off from the embrace) It was really good to see you, Winter.
Winter: (smiling sadly) Until next time, sister.
The two Schnees walk out of the pavilion and go in opposite directions, neither of them noticing the caterpillar coming across a miniature, brightened version of a familiar-looking broadsword before disappearing into icy sparkles. Later at night, Weiss is in the school courtyard, waving goodbye at the airship carrying her sister. She stops just as her Scroll starts vibrating with an incoming call from "FATHER", and her finger hovers over the screen in uncertainty until she closes her eyes and forces herself to press it. Suddenly smiling at the sight of her closed Scroll and the setting of a new path in life, she puts it away and walks back inside as the scene fades to black
