Myths of Remnant, Legends Never Die. (RWBY: Yang x MaleReader)

Lessons Learned/Birthday Girl

The view opens as 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 a confident Coco Adel and meditating Yatsuhashi Daichi, wait in the center of the stadium for the holographic roulette to pick the field.

Port starts his commentary over the broadcaster speakers.

"Emerald and Mercury of Haven, versus Coco and Yatsuhashi of Beacon!"

Velvet calls from up in the stands alongside Fox Alistair and Ruby Rose.

"Good luck, you two!"

Y/N also calls out from beside Yang.

"Yatsuhashi! Make me proud bud!"

Yatsuhashi looks up and bows to Y/N.

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.

"Hey! Love the outfit, kid!"

Emerald calls out snarkily.

"I'll try not to get blood on it."

Yatsuhashi sighs, getting up as he removes Fulcrum from his back.

"I can't promise you'll leave without a scratch."

Emerald smirks, stretching out her arm. 

"I won't be the one bleeding."

Coco laughs.

"Ooh, I like her!"

Port starts commentating again along with the countdown behind the combatants.

"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 Gatling gun 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.

Coco remarks in confusion.

"Huh?"

Blake calls out as she and the rest of Teams RWBY look in shock and STLL.

"Look out!"

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

Sun yells appreciatively, also in the bleachers with SSSN.

"He's good!"

Scarlet adds.

"Yeah, but where's the girl?"

Mercury reaches the two and kicks away Coco's weapon 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.
