With that, the day was in place and your willingness to rest up for once was achieved. Neither you nor Pyrrha did much preparations for the fight as you both had little energy for it. So, you got a good night's rest, good breakfast, sharpen your blade and headed out. You told your teammates this was a strictly only for you and Pyrrha fight and not to involve themselves. They agreed as did JNPR. So, for now, you and Pyrrha stood opposites of one another, getting ready for the show down.

You loaded round after round into your rifle and cocked it before converting back into your sword. You got up and looked out to Pyrrha and saw her ready her sword and shield.

(Y/N): Want a little wager?

Pyrrha: I don't know.

(Y/N): It's just a little playful thing. That's all.

Pyrrha: Very well. What did you have in mind?

(Y/N): Loser buys.

Pyrrha: Buys what?

(Y/N): What the winner wants.

Pyrrha: I can abide by those terms.

You smirked and walked over to a panel and hit the countdown. You both got ready and as the countdown hit go, you both charged forward. You two ran forward and began to slash at one another. You both hit one another's blades and you raised a kick upward to Pyrrha's stomach. She took it, but reeled her head back and slammed it against your own. That got you out balanced and allowed Pyrrha to go into a quick strike with her sword.

You blocked the attack and fired a round from your rifle and spun around and slammed your sword into her shield. Pyrrha swept her leg around yours and tripped you. While you were falling, you grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled Pyrrha down on top of you. Pyrrha and you entered a small standstill which came to a stop once you both realized that she had her hand on your chest and your arm was around her back.

(Y/N): This is awkward.

Pyrrha: Yes. Yes it is.

You used your hold of Pyrrha and got you both flipped over and her onto her chest while you pinned her arm behind her.

(Y/N): Didn't mean I didn't like it.

Pyrrha smiled a bit and blushed while you did the same. However, Pyrrha used the opportunity and kicked you off of her. Before you landed, you did a back handspring and got back up and countered Pyrrha's sword slash. You then went in for another knee hit to her chest. Pyrrha pushed back with her sword and blocked your hit with her shield. You grabbed the top half of her shield and kicked off of hit. When you landed, you began to fire off a few rounds at Pyrrha, who easily blocked them all and cut through them with her sword.

You switched ammo type and fired off some ice dust towards her and froze her feet in place. You smirked and ran forward with your blade at the ready and did a two footed kick to her chest, breaking Pyrrha out of the ice. However, while she was in the air, Pyrrha spun around and grabbed the back of your shirt and slammed you down behind her. She wrapped her sword around your ankle and hoisted you up into the air only to throw you back down onto the ground.

Pyrrha then pulled you forward and kicked you in the chin with her heel, sending you flying across the arena. Pyrrha then charged towards you, ready for another strike. Just as she was about to attack you, you used your semblance of shield project and used Pyrrha's own force to bounce her off of you and launch her back some. While dazed for a second, Pyrrha was able to evade you jumping down towards her, stabbing the ground where she stood.

You saw Pyrrha go behind you and you swung, with the intent to hit her. She backstepped again and threw a punch with her shield on her wrist. You dodged it and flipped Pyrrha onto her back, but she was able to drag you down and you laid opposite of her. You both began to throw some punches and swords clashed against one another while on the ground. Eventually, you both worked your way back up to the ground and slammed your blades against one another causing a shockwave. The wave pushed you both back and caused a crack in the ground. However, that didn't stop the fight.

You and Pyrrha ran forward again and clashed with one another. In the standoff, Pyrrha stepped forward to hit your foot but you evaded and pushed her out of your way. Pyrrha spun around and threw a punch up towards your face. You dodged again and she hopped over you. However, then sprung up and kicked you in your face and landed behind you. She lined up her elbow perfectly and elbowed you into the ground. You then did a breakdance maneuver and tripped Pyrrha again, but she rolled out of the way and you both got back to your feet and began to dance around in a circle, readying the next strike.

The two of you then lunged towards one another again and attacked each other with more slashes here and there. After coming off of another slash that sent you both sliding back a bit, you did a tornado kick and hit Pyrrha in the face. As she came in for another strike, you raised your semblance again and blocked the attack and forced Pyrrha back some allowing you to go for the hit. However, she was easily able to block the attack with her shield and pushed you off of her.

You landed and used your hands to spring up and attempt to kick Pyrrha's face again. She easily evaded and kicked your own back. You heard her footsteps coming for you, so you used your semblance once again and blocked the attack. However, you didnt take into account Pyrrha's own semblance which she used to pull you back and knee you in the back and flip you over and onto the ground. Pyrrha the placed her knee along your chest and pinned you to the ground.

Pyrrha: I believe THIS is where I claim victory.

(Y/N): (Thinking) Geez! This REALLY is like old times. You little piece of sh-no. You're better than this. Think about who she is. What she means to you. She's...she's your best friend. And I love her...so much.

A single tear began to form in your eye but that didn't stop you from wrapping your legs around Pyrrha's neck and throwing her off of you. Pyrrha rolled backwards and saw you charging in, blade ready. You brought your sword down onto hers and kept Pyrrha pinned down. Pyrrha then kicked your stomach and slide you back a bit before she threw her shield and hit you square in the head. You got up and continued to run at Pyrrha and attack her. She blocked the attacks and easily got you away from her and beat you back.

You rolled along the ground and got back up and continued to charge out to her. Pyrrha got you in a standoff and looked up and gasped. Your aura was in the red.

Pyrrha: (Y/N). You need to stop.

(Y/N): NO! NOT UNTIL I WIN!

You were pushed back again by Pyrrha but that didn't stop you. You kept coming and attacking constantly. You believed that's when Pyrrha had enough and used her semblance on your armor and sent out of the arena, getting a ring out. You went to your knees and slowly began to clutch the ground, anger swel through you. Not even a fun practice match would she let you win. You saw her walking up to you. You looked up and she dropped a towel before you.

Pyrrha: Be ready by six.

And like that, she walked off. Anger began to fully get to you so to take it out, you began to punch the ground, forming a small crater as you swore to yourself. You began to degrade yourself as tears began to fall from your eyes. Unknown to you, Pyrrha was off behind a wall, breaking down into tears. She too, feeling the sadness.

Pyrrha: (Thinking) Just one fight...damnit Pyrrha. Damn you to hell!
