RIDER TIME!!! RWBY's Legend Rider

Wake Up! Dragon and Beast

[3rd POV]

Ever since "the Breach" happened, things haven't been looking good for Vale. Security has been higher than ever. With the addition of the Atlesian army, discomfort had spread to the residents. Despite that, there was something that could get them riled up.

Team RWBY(J) was handling their first opponent, Team ARBN. Not wanting to expose themselves, they relied on their weapons this round. Yang was dodged blows the explosive power of Arslan Altan's fists while Jet and Blake exchanged blows with Reese Chloris, their blades of Gambol Shroud and Zikan Girade colliding with the hoverboard of their opponent. Ruby was firing and swinging Crescent Rose at Bolin Hori, who was dodging the strikes with ease.

High above the action, two familiar teachers are sitting at a sportscaster's desk, with a microphone between them and the holographic image of the four kingdoms' symbols united as one.

Port: Hello! It seems that we have another astonishing bout ahead of us! Wouldn't you agree, Professor?

Oobleck: (annoyed) Doctor. (brightens up excitedly again) And yes Peter, I think it's safe to say this match may be the closest we've seen of the four-on-four round of the tournament!

Port: For those of you just now joining us, welcome to the Vytal Festival Tournament, broadcast live from the Amity Coliseum!

Port: If this is your first time watching, allow us to break down the rules.

Oobleck: (holds up the appropriate number of fingers for each explanation as a hologram illustrates the rules) The tournament is divided into three distinctive rounds; teams, doubles, and singles. Age and school year are irrelevant! In this tournament, your only attribute being tested... is skill.

Port: (nods as another hologram pops up) Correct! The winners of this battle will elect two of their members to represent them in the doubles round, followed by the winners of that round choosing one member to advance once again. The remaining combatants will then fight their way through the final bracket in the hope of achieving victory for their kingdom! (the hologram disappears with the image of a victorious figure, sword raised and wearing a crown)

Oobleck: (pushes up his own spectacles as he says this) And yes, Peter, these certainly are some spectacular spectacles on which to spectate on! I don't think anyone tuning in around the world is going to disagree with me on that!

Port: Ahh, and why would they? Now, let's get back to the match between Team RWBY of Beacon, and Team ABRN of Haven.

Back in the arena, Reese steers her board through the ice. She twirls herself until the board gets launched at the duo, but they're able to knock it away, only for Reese to direct it back at them. Blake blocks it, but the board rotates back to its wielder just in time to defend Reese as Jet delivers several slashes and kicks. Reese deflects each attack and spins her board around until she can flip away and ride it again, rushing towards a smirking duo. She collides with the frozen shadow clones, and Jet uses this opportunity to slice the board in two, only for the halves to become dual katars that in turn fold up into bayonet-bladed revolvers. Reese manages to fire off a few green rounds before her tailbone collides painfully on the cold ground. The two wince with sympathy.

Meanwhile, Yang lands mere feet away from Arslan, who backs away before being pounded by a flurry of punches and kicks until she delivers her own hits, ending with two smashing fists and shockwave of force from the impact. Yang and Arslan are both thrown back, but Yang reaches her and tries delivering more blows before Arslan uses her rope dart to tangle up her blonde adversary and land a kick of her own to send Yang skidding on the ground. While Yang tries to get her balance back on the slippery surface, Arslan rushes forward and knocks her back even further.
