A/N: Holy shitball. 25 fucking chapters in (technically it's 26 if you count the bio), with 8 chapters left until the finale. I can't believe I come this far. I already thinking about the next male reader fanfic. I won't be writing it soon as I finish it, may take a few weeks for me to R&R. I mean I have some other stuff to do besides writing fanfic right? Anyway, back to the fic!

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 and Emerald against a confident Coco and Yatsuhashi, wait in the center of the stadium for the holographic roulette to pick the field.

Port: Emerald and Mercury of Haven, versus Coco and Yatsuhashi of Beacon!

Velvet then gets up from up in the stands alongside Fox, Ruby, and Y/N.

Velvet: Good luck, you two!

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. Coco lowers her sunglasses as she eyes her opponents.

Coco: Hey! Love the outfit, kid!

They both then

Port:  Three, two, one, begin!

Instead of charging forward, Mercury and Emerald slowly walk back into the tall grass and disappear behind the leaves. Coco and Yatsuhashi smile at each other before the leader pops out her Minigun and begins mowing down the field as the crowds of sunglasses-wearing fans roar their approval, even when bullets nearly hit them from the other side of the forcefield. Coco lets up as she and Yatsuhashi realize the two opponents aren't in the plains section anymore. 

Y/N: Damn, is she trying to kill an invisible alien or something?

Blake: Lookout!

Mercury drops from the sky, aiming for Coco, but Yatsuhashi pushes her out of the way and blocks Mercury's attack with his blade, pushing him back. Coco opens fire at him again, though Mercury is able to outrun each shot.

Sun: He's good!

Y/N: Too good.

Sun: What?

Y/N: I don't know, man... I just have a feeling about their team.

Scarlet: Yeah, but where's the girl?

Mercury reaches the two and kicks away Coco's minigun while dodging Yatsuhashi's blade, then delivering a double blow to the giant warrior before jumping over Coco's continued barrage of bullets. He lands on the barrels and kicks her in the face, leaping over another of Yatsuhashi's swings, only to let himself be hit so he can get behind Coco and force her to press the muzzle up to her own teammate. Everyone stands still until Coco compresses her weapon back into its handbag form and tries to hit Mercury with Yatsuhashi, but he deftly jumps back and launches two blasts from his boots that the members of CFVY deflect.

Coco is unfazed by the one-shot but looks surprised at the dozens of them now spiraling around the handstand-spinning Mercury until he sends all of them at his enemies, a barrage of light and smoke surrounding them that provides the perfect cover for Mercury to appear behind the two. He grabs the both of them by their arms and delivers a flurry of kicks that knocks them back, looking back as a chain comes out from the forest trees to wrap around Coco and pulls her back.
