Heed The King of the Wolves

Round One

Y/N: I am guessing you got that too?

Wolf: An accurate assumption he seems to want to see us now. A shame I was quite enjoying the fight.

Y/N: Come on let's go.

High above the arena and the seats Professor Port and Dr Oobleck sit in the commentator's box with a single microphone between the two of them as behind them a holographic emblem of all the kingdoms combined into one.

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

Oobleck: Doctor. 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 Colosseum! 

The Colosseum floats high over the kingdom of Vale as Airships ferry people to and from the landing pads. The sound of explosions can be heard from the landing pads as people rush in to catch the rest of the fight. 

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

Oobleck: 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.

The screen behind the two shows everything Oobleck just said in a visual manner to help his explanation.

Port: 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!

Oobleck: 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!

Oobleck pushes up his glasses to emphasise his point. Around the world, people can be seen watching the tournament from a Distillery in Mistral, An Atlesian home, A bar in Vale and a mobile home in Vacuo.

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 action, Reese steers her board through the ice. She twirls herself until the board gets launched at Blake, the black cat Faunus blocks the board and throws it away in an attempt to disarm her opponent unfortunately Reese redirects it back at Blake. Blake blocks it again, but the board rotates back to its wielder just in time to defend Reese as Blake delivers several slashes and kicks. Reese deflects each attack and spins her weapon around until she can flip away and ride it again, rushing towards a smirking Blake. She collides with the frozen shadow clone, and Blake uses his 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. Blake winces with sympathy.

Meanwhile, Yang lands mere feet away from Arslan, who backs away before being pounded by two quick punches. The pair dodge each other's kicks then Arslan delivers her own hits, launching a series of hammer blows. Yang defends herself and retaliates, the clash ending with the two smashing fists and creating a shockwave of force from the impact. Yang and Arslan are both thrown back, but Yang reaches her and tries delivering more blows before Arslan flips away and then uses her rope dart to tangle up her blonde adversary's leg 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.
