Volume 3 {Chapter 6: Dueling}
Y/N waited at the exit of the tower with a downed gaze. His gaze seemed to travel far and long as each second seemed to tick on eternity.
His match was tomorrow afternoon, a show of power on what will happen during the finals. An appetizer before the main dish. Whatever it is, tomorrow is the beginning of it all.
And Y/N couldn't wait any longer.
The elevator dinged open as Pyrrha walked out of there, looking a bit dejected. Y/N approached her as she neared the exit.
"Hey..."
"Hey..."
An awkward silence was made between the two, unsure of what the topic will bring next. Pyrrha rubbed her arm as she was a bit nervous about what she wants to say to Y/N. What could she say?
How long did you know?
Where did you get this information from?
What kind of enemy are they dealing with?
All of this swirled around her head and was giving her a mild concussion. Before she could speak, Y/N put his hand on her shoulder.
"Lets just... wait. Until this festival comes to a close, your still Pyrrha Nikos of JNPR."
"But... what about-?"
"They're patient. Your still a student in their school and as teachers, they have the responsibility to shoulder everything as well. So don't feel down yet. We still gotta win this, don't we?"
Y/N smirked as he waited for Pyrrha to answer, after all, the Vytal Festival is about to end with the duels.
He's right. They gave her a choice in the matter that is most dire. Right now, it is exactly what happened back in Argus and Mistral.
All of a sudden, she is viewed as the most powerful Huntress-In-Training and after the fights, perhaps it will change later on.
But now, before all this. She's Pyrrha Nikos. Not of Mistral, nor Argus. But of Team JNPR.
With Ren, Nora, and her lover. Jaune Arc.
"You're right." Pyrrha smiled softly as Y/N retracted his hand from her. "We still have a job to do."
Y/N nodded in satisfaction as they walked away from the tower.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The crowd roared louder than yesterday as today was the final day of the tournament. Multiple teams have fought to be on the stage right now and only the winner will stand on top as the best student in Remnant.
But this match is special. A special match between two opponents in a grand battle for the ages. And now, it was about to start.
[Good Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today, we are about to witness something extraordinary that has never been done before!] Port loudly announced as Oobleck corrected his glasses.
[Precisly! To be correct, today will be a match between two opponents that Headmaster Ozpin has personally checked. Speaking of the man, here he is!]
From the announcer's booth, Ozpin indeed sat down next to them with a graceful smile.
[Thank you for that.]
[Now, Professor Ozpin. Could you please explain to the audience what is happening right now?]
[Of course. This special fight has been sanctioned by me and others as a way to promote the power behind these students. And today, one of the most powerful students is about to fight a fully-fledged Huntress.]
Gasps were made around the arena as they did not hear that one from Ozpin.
[A professional Huntress? Good word, will the student even survive such an encounter?]
[Fret not. You may know this student as he was the one to show the most potential out of all of them. Please welcome to the stage, Y/N L/N.]
As if on cue, someone fell from the top of the arena and was about to crash headfirst into the arena below.
The audience wasn't fast enough to register what was happening but some only gasped in horror on what will happen next.
Before he could hit the ground, the student positioned himself upright as his hand crackled in yellow lightning and grew more intense.
He landed with a loud boom as the lightning gave him a flashy entrance to make everyone look at him. The dust settled around him as he stood up from his position and stared at the sky.
In one motion, the teen drew his sword up high as if to pierce the heavens and the crowd goes wilder.
RWBY and JNPR all joined the uproar with their own shouts.
"GO Y/N!"
"KICK THEIR BUTTS!"
"WE SUPPORT YOU!"
"WIN THIS FOR BEACON!"
"SHOW THEM THE MIGHT OF BEACON!"
Hearing all their support, Y/N smiled affectionately as he stood on one side of the arena.
[Of course! How could we forget?! This is the same man who protected Vale from the breach with his power and others!] Oobleck shouted with enthusiasm as his student appeared on the arena.
[May we ask, Professor Ozpin? Who is it that this young man will fight?]
A sudden whir of a loud engine made Ozpin smile as he looked up at the sky.
[You are about to find out.]
A Bullhead was hovering up to the sky with its doors open to the stage below. A young woman, likely in her 20's was by the door as she held her weapons tightly.
She garnered a smirk on her face as the rushing winds made her more eccentric than ever.
With a running start, she jumped out of the door and into the arena with no parachute.
While most people would be scared of dying and falling, the woman wasn't like them. She embraced the cold and rushing air on her face as the steel fans never left her side.
When the ground was rapidly approaching, she swiped the ground with her fans as fire spewed out of it and crashed into the ground.
Soot and dust covered the arena as Y/N held his arm in front of him to block the soot coming to his face.
The dust soon settled as the woman stood from the ground. "Gotta admit. Mine was better."
"I'm... not sure what you mean."
"You know, the entrance."
"Ohh... right. My name is Y/N, what's yours?"
Before the woman can reply, she looked at at the announcer's box and smirked. "I think Ozzy will say it to us, isn't that right?"
[Precisly. Allow me to show you the leader of {NEMESIS}, Jade!]
'{NEMESIS}?!' Y/N used {God's Eye} on her to confirm what Ozpin had just said.
{GOD'S EYE}

TITLES: Fiery Warrior, Leader of NEMESIS

________________________________________________________________________________
(To be real, I would've just continued on with the story with no fight scenes from Y/N. But I was talking with a friend and he was a huge Stickman fan, especially with Gilded Guy.
We talked for a bit and I promised him a fight between Y/N and Jade. I gave her the last name from her creator, Camilia Cuevas as a sort of tribute, hope you don't mind.
And if ever this story was brought up to the creators and wanted to stop the fight or something else entirely, I will do so without hesitation. This is their own character and that it is their property.
Which leads to this.
None of what I show is mine. You already know that, that I am merely using them as references to my story and I claim none as my own. If the creator of Jade messages me to take down this story, then I will do so and recreate the fight as to not show plagiarism.
With that said, let us begin the fight!)
________________________________________________________________________________
"HEY!" Jade called him out as he stopped looking at her stats. "Eyes are up here, buddy!"
Y/N rolled his eyes and shouted back. "I wasn't looking! I'm not a pervert!"
"That's what they all say!"
Y/N blankly stared at Jade and sagged his shoulders. However calm he looks, inside he was freaking out. For good reason, how many have actually met and is about to fight one of their favorite {RHG Fighters} in person?
Almost none. And yet, Y/N is about to fight the leader of {NEMESIS}, Jade.
Her human appearance seemed parallel to her counterpart, with the long purple hair and the steel fans. It was all still processing for him since this will be the first time he will ever fight a strong human opponent. Especially as powerful as her.
Resisting the urge to sigh, the arena shifted once more. This time, the center part hovered above the rest with enough space to fight in.
[To make it brief, I asked a favor for Jade to come and fight Mr. L/N on a duel with no rules. Anything goes and the winner comes when their opponent forfeits or is out of Aura.] Ozpin explained as the crowd merely looked at awe.
Feeling that the fight is approaching, Y/N got his shield and went into a stance. His eyes sharpened and eyed Jade from her movements.
It seems as though this is the same Jade in {YouTube} back on Earth. If all those fights were her abilities then he has a slight advantage.
Like her counterpart, Jade brandished a pair of steel fans and aimed at him. Instead of those fans giving power, it was her Semblance that would give a fiery edge in combat. If those fans work the same then it could also change into a spear.
The crowd could only anticipate the fight between the two as each moment was tensing for a brawl.
Even Cinder was shaking her boots in excitement. This was a fight she would never miss.
"Let's have a good fight." Y/N said to Jade as the moment approaches.
"Sure. But don't underestimate me. I was born for this." Jade gave a small smirk as the two ready up.
[3...]
[2...]
[1...]
[BEGIN!]
In an instant, both fighters dashed with speed and clashed in the middle. The resounding crash echoed around the arena as the wind picked up dangerously.
Y/N and Jade had a contest of power between them as they were holding the other back.
Jade used her Semblance as her fans came to life. Y/N didn't register it sooner as Jade exploded her way out of that contest.
Now free, Jade dashed headfirst and swung rapidly at Y/N.
*Clang**Clang**Clang**Clang**Clang**Clang**Clang**Clang**Clang**Clang**Clang*
Y/N deflected all of them as he blocked both fans with his shield. A moment to stop, Y/N thrust Joker into her stomach as Jade was blown away from the impact. Y/N dashed to where she was and jumped in the air.
Jade reoriented herself immediately as she saw Y/N coming down his sword. She dodged quickly but blocked another strike from him. Y/N continued to chip at Jade's Aura with each strike and continued on.
*Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk**Tsk*
The crowd was shouting in joy as the fight goes on. RWBY, JNPR, and SSSN all watched Y/N fighting.
Aigis supported him from the seat as she clutched on the armrest. "Win this, father."
With one final strike, Jade dodged the blade and slashed Y/N's side with her Semblance and kicked him away from her.
Y/N stopped his sudden push as he placed Creed on the floor. It's color changed to red and chanted his Semblance. "{Agidyne!}"
Jade didn't know why he did that but the floor beneath her suddenly got hot and hotter. She jumped away from the spot to dodge a pillar of flame there.
She landed without a hitch as the pillar died. "Oh, is that your Semblance? Making fire?"
Her fans burst into life once more as she changed it into a golden spear with both points sharpened. "You still got a lot to learn."
She dashed at him with her spear held back as Y/N smirked. "It's not just fire."
Before she could understand, a frozen tree appeared before her and exploded into icy chunks. Jade deflected as much as she can but some managed to damage her Aura.
Y/N got up from the ground as his gauntlet now showed green. "I'll let you taste my Semblance before you lose!"
With sudden speed, Jade blocked his advances with her spear as she tried to counter his moves. Now with the wind as a weapon, Jade was having a hard time blocking the attacks.
Y/N kicked Jade on the side as he punched her face with his shield and followed up with another kick. The leg was enhanced with the wind so Jade got sent a bit further than anticipated.
However, she quickly shifted her fan into a spear and stabbed itself on the ground. She used the momentum she had and flung back into the battle with her spear behind her.
Y/N blocked the advance as Jade shot out another explosion on his face as smoke covered his sense of sight. With another beat, Jade slashed and kicked him at multiple points of attack.
He blocked the best he can but a few strikes punched through his defense and lowered his Aura more and more. Jade stepped back from the assault as she changed her spear into fans once more.
"Gotta say. You're doing well for a first-year."
Hearing the praise, Y/N inwardly chuckled. "Thanks for that."
Jade smirked at his answer as she readied once more. "You ready?"
"Anytime..."
With another dash, Jade shot multiple fireballs as they all honed in on Y/N. He dodged most of them as he ran at Jade, this time with Odin. Jade saw the weapon and shifted her fans into a spear as she ran at him as well.
The collided with sparks flying as they attacked, blocked, and parry each other advance. Jade held an advantage with experience and Semblance as she thrust her spear into his stomach and exploded there.
Y/N jumped back as a fireball came into contact yet again on his shield. Jade shortly came after and swiped his shield away from him and swept his legs. Momentarily losing his footing, Jade was about to finish the fight until Y/N stabbed Odin on the ground and cast. "{Freidyne!}"
A large blue explosion made contact with Jade as she didn't have enough time to dodge the attack. She jumped as far away as possible from the explosion and had burned around her body. Jade panted heavily and used her spear to try and stand up, that explosion wasn't like anything she has yet to experience but...
'At least he went out in glory instead of admitting defeat.'
But... the announcer didn't sound off his defeat.
Before she could get a thought in, Odin pierced the air and headed straight at her. Jade only had seconds to think a way out of this and dodged to the side. Y/N came out, looking unharmed, and pulled his fist back, and struck the ground.
The shockwave was enough to make Jade lose her footing momentarily and almost tripped. Y/N used Creed to call his shield back to him as he shifts it into its weapon form.
It was meant as an emergency weapon in case Joker was down and only his shield was available. The shield changed from its normal appearance into a twin-bladed arm gauntlet on his left hand. The center had Dust crystals in there and glowed it's color brightly.
The Dust he is using is Ice, meaning his weapon would change. Ice started forming around the blades and grew into a short sword on his bracers.
Jade saw the new weapon with shocked eyes and grinned. When she heard that Ozpin wanted her to fight one of his students in a 1v1 match, she thought the old man was crazy, even more so when the student was a first year.
At first, she was playing with him, gouging out his abilities as a whole. Since this is the same guy that took out that human Grimm a while back. While she wasn't there as the breach started, Jade could feel the power it emitted and was about to interfere, regardless of the Council.
So she was genuinely surprised and glad that Y/N took care of it.
Now, normally she would have already guessed his abilities as of now. But it appears that he keeps surprising her more. And that made him more interesting.
She grabbed her spear and with a challenging smirk, rocketed her way towards him. Y/N saw the smirk and gave one himself as he dashed her way as well.
The two combatants all sported a wide grin as they were about to clash once more.
*Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing**Tsing*
The audience couldn't look away. They just can't. The fighters all fought with vigor and strength. Speed and power were all they showed with continuous strikes and clashes between one another.
Port and Oobleck couldn't get a word in as they too were engrossed in the fights. Their Huntsman eyes allowed them to track and move at speeds similar to the battle but even they were having a hard time keeping up.
RWBY, JNPR, SSSN, and Aigis all looked with anticipation as Y/N fought with all his might at his opponent with the intention to win.
Another clash rang out as Y/N jumped farther back and looked at the explosion. Jade was standing still with burns and ice sticking to her clothes. She merely looked back with a grin as her spear changed back into a pair of fans.
"Still standing, huh? You know, you're a lot better than most of my opponents I've faced so far."
"Is that so? Then..." He took a step forward as he shook off his broken ice blade. "Shall we end this?"
"Yeah... I'm getting bored as well." Jade went into her stance as the fans were alive once more. "Let's go."
Y/N nodded and shifted his foot at Jade.
Silence and tense were the only words that can describe the situation right now as both fighters were ready to end this. It was so thick with anticipation that could cut it with a knife.
They didn't move from their spots and waited for one of them to move. The sweat from their brows was moving down their bodies as they waited with baited breaths.
Just then, one of the sweat under Y/N's brow fell from it and slowly fall.
...
...
...
...
...
*Plop*
In that instance, they cracked the floor with their legs as rushed towards each other.
Y/N pulled back his left fist as it crackled with lightning. Jade brought back one of her fans as it was engulfed in flames.
The massive amount of lightning and flames were slowly resembling into figures. Y/N's thunder gave off the appearance of a dragon, while Jade's was a bird.
And just like that, they clashed brightly into one another. The resulting explosion was so bright that everyone brought up shades to cover their eyes.
Lightning and fire all engulfed the stadium as dust scattered everywhere.
When it all settled, only one remained standing.
Ozpin stood up from his seat and announced the victor.
[The winner of this match goes to...
...
...
...Y/N L/N of Beacon!]
*WOOOAAAAAAAH*
The crowd roared to life and stood up from their seats to congratulate the young man. His friends also joined in with joyous expression on their faces. Some even shed tears of happiness.
"Jaune, are you crying?"
"No! It's just... there was some dust here."
"But the barrier protected us-"
"There was dust!"
Y/N panted heavily and kneeled from the exhaustion. His bracer returned back into a shield and two Dust crystals were ejected from Creed. He checked his {AP} and saw that it was on the verge of being red.
"I won... because of this? Hehehe... what a cruel joke."
"Yep." Jade chimed in as she snorted at her Aura being destroyed. "What a joke."
She lied on the ground they stood on and her weapons were held close. Jade had a smile on her face and couldn't get it off.
"That was a good fight. Though I can't help but feel you didn't use all of your strength on that one."
"Heh... who knows? Maybe, I was being courteous?"
"Hmph... yeah. So, you won huh? This calls for a reward."
Jade slowly got up from the ground as the pain was still rendering in her body. Y/N helped her up and cast {Media} on both of them so that they can at least stand on their own.
She pulled out an envelope from her back and presented it to Y/N. "I'm throwing a party in my clan's guild. And you're my star guest."
He took the invitation from her hands and tucked it in his pocket, discreetly putting it in his {Inventory}.
"Thank you. For the invitation."
Jade nodded and held out a fist. "Next time, I'll win. And you better not hold back."
Y/N chuckled at her challenging demeanor and bumps fist with her. "Wouldn't have it any other way."
The two combatants shared a nod as the arena slowly descended from the sky. Thus marking the start of the duels tournament tonight.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Y/N waved goodbye to the Huntress as the bullhead closed its doors and flew off to the distance. He continued to wave until it slowly flew away from his sight.
He stopped waving as he stayed there for the time being. Y/N felt someone approaching him from behind and turned toward the General.
"How goes it?"
"The program is ready."
"Good. Then be ready..." He looked off to the distance and gripped his fist tightly.
"Because the time is coming. And dread is not far behind."
(Another note to make sure. I love the RHG fights they make, especially Hyun's Dojo. I respect those guys for doing all the work they did and how the community expanded.
So I will say this once more:
I do not own the character at all. The plot is mine but the characters are theirs. I make no claim to say that these references and their unique plot are mine and that these characters I show were only references I use.
If you are the legitimate creator or representing him/her and say to take this story down, then I will do it. Please do not make a scene about it, we can peacefully talk about this.
Once again, thank you for being here.
Now let's go kill Cinder Fall.)
