A/N: Yang and Weiss face their greatest match yet........a rollerblader and musician.

At the Amity Colosseum, It's mountain biome was being bombarded by several explosions all around the area. Russel, daggers in hand, was running from the mayhem before spinning around, ready to face his opponents, who turned out to be the familiar face of Penny and her beret-wearing teammate, Ciel. With an ever-present smile and simple arm movements, she summoned six floating swords from behind her and reared them back before launching them in a ring at Russel, who barely managed to duck behind a rock to protect himself. Wasting no time, Penny did the same thing with another group of blades, homing in on the other CRDL teammate, Sky, until he used his own halberd to vault over another stone for defense. The two exchanged a worried look at the sight of their rocks still pierced with multiple blades, and Penny grinned in combat-ready fierceness as she looked to her partner, who simply taped her watch as if hurrying Penny up. Wasting no time, Penny raised her hands like a puppetmaster and used the near-invisible strings attached to each hilt to lift the giant rocks up in the air, with the screaming Russel and Sky still hanging on. Bringing her arms down to her sides, the stones came crashing to the ground as well, leaving Penny's opponents in the grass. Her swords came back to her pack as the buzzer rung.

Oobleck: And victory goes to Penny and Ciel of Atlas!

Penny placed a fist in her palm and bowing in respect to her fallen foes while still smiling.

Penny: Thank you for a wonderful time.

The two victors turned to leave the stadium as Russel feebly reached out, only to get hit in the head by an errant stone. Watching from the stands, Ruby saw them start to walk away and excitedly got up form her seat with You and the rest of her team to meet them at one of the exits. Ruby eventually caught up to Penny while calling out to her.

Ruby: Penny!

Penny: Ruby!

She tackled her friend into a hug that left them both of them on the ground. Ruby grunted and groaned weakly.

Ruby: Why...

Penny got up energetically and gestured to the other girl.

Penny: Ruby, this is my teammate.

Ciel: Ciel Soleil.

Ruby: Hi! I'm Ru-

Ciel: Ruby Rose. 15. Hails from Patch. Leader of Team RWBY. Status: Questionable.

Ruby: ..........Sooo... Penny! You two were incredible out there. How do you keep control of all those swords? It's so cool!

Ciel: Penny? I believe it is best if we move on to our next location.

Penny exchanged a look with Ruby before asking Ciel.

Penny: Could we have just a minute to talk?

In response, Ciel checked the time, then took a step back and nodded, starting the countdown.

Ruby: So is she... your friend or...

Penny: Well, in a way. She's like Blake, but if Blake was ordered to spend time with you.

Ruby: Oh. So, Weiss.

Penny: Precisely.

Ruby: Does she know about... y'know... beep boop bop, does not compute?

Penny: Oh no. General Ironwood doesn't really want anyone to know. There was an incident with a magnet, but I was able to play it off.

(Flashback).

Ciel and Penny were on The Vytal Festival grounds. Penny was wearing a large sun hat. However, The wind picked up and lifted the hat from her hair, revealing the aforementioned magnet on her skull, and Penny quickly shoved the headgear back on before Ciel turned back around.

(End of Flashback).

Penny and Ruby laughed from that short story. Penny then spoke in a serious time but still smiling.

Penny: Ruby, there's something I've been wanting to talk to you about.

She glanced over at Ciel before leaning in and whispering to Ruby.

Penny: I want to stay at Beacon.

Ruby: Penny, they'll never let you do that.

Penny: I know, but I have a plan.

Ciel stepped back up to Penny's side and pointed to her watch.

Ciel: It's been precisely one minute, ma'am.

Penny: I'll talk to you more soon, Ruby.

The two Atlesians leave, but Penny turned to give a wave of farewell to Ruby, who did the same. Port then spoke over the speakers.

Port: Our next match will begin in 15 minutes!

Ruby: Oh my gosh, that's right! It's time for......

In the center of the field stood Yang and weiss.

Yang: Well, now it's our turn!

Weiss: Just remember to keep proper form.

Yang: Alright.

Her tone shifted to talk strategy.

Yang: You're from Atlas. What could we expect?

Weiss began listing off the facts as Yang loosened up her legs as well.

Weiss: Well, seeing as their Kingdom, academy and armed forces are all merged as one, I think we can expect strict, militant fighters with advanced technology and carefully rehearsed strategies.

At that very moment, a rainbow zoomed past the two surprised Huntresses-in-training, coming to a stop opposite them, revealing a pigtailed Faunus girl with roller blades and a cat tail swishing around her weapon next to a young man wearing a fedora and sunglasses, holding a trumpet in one hand. The two were Neon and Flynt.

Weiss: ... Or whatever they are.

Flynt: Hey!

Weiss looked over to him as he gestured at her, smiling.

Flynt: You Weiss Schnee, right? The heiress.

Weiss: I am.

Flynt: I take it you're pretty good with Dust, then?

Weiss: I do my best.

Flynt: Yeah, my dad was good too. Owned a little Dust shop of his own.

His smile soon turned into a scowl and his tone turned hostile.

Flynt: Till your father's company ran him out of business.

Weiss: Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.

He soon looked away sarcastically.

Flynt: Sure you are.

Yang: Hey! Why don't you....

Neon: Hey! Why don't you?

The annoying faunus girl dropped her unflattering imitation as she pointed at Yang, smiling.

Neon: That's what you sound like

Yang didn't know how to react.

Yang: Uh...

Neon: Hey! Where'd you get your hair extensions?

Yang: This is just my normal hair.

Neon: Ooh, really?

Yang was getting annoyed now.

Yang: Yeah! Is that a prob.....

Neon: You should try rollerblading sometime! It's super fun! It'd probably take you a while, though, since you're so... you know, top-heavy.

Yang: Excuse me!?

Ruby: Oh, here we go.

(Y/N): she just had to go and piss her off.

The field opened around the four combatants, and up rose the volcanic area, sandy desert, steaming geysers, and ruined buildings.

Port: Three! Two! One! Begin!

Right as it started, Flynt raised the instrument to his lips and blew, issuing forth a sound wave that blew both Weiss and Yang back from the force. Weiss was able to create a glyph under her to stop sliding back, but didn't see Neon spinning into the attack and useing it to push herself forward so she could charge at Yang in a rainbow burst of speed and push her into the city portion. Flynt stopped blowing as Weiss readied her Myrtenaster, a second passing until the musician started playing again. This time, Weiss used darker glyphs to move her forward through the cone of waves, making another one to get closer and closer so she could land a blow. Suddenly, however, Flynt stopped playing, and Weiss was forced to move forward, earning a kick to the back as she slid past. She crashed through a red Dust crystal, and Flynt grinned when he saw her lying in the area now spouting pillars of fire. Back in the ruined city, Neon managed to roll ahead of every blast from Ember Celica, skating on the railings and making faces at an irritated Yang. She continued to flip and slide over any terrain in her way, all the while repeating a mantra to herself.

Neon: Never miss a beat! Never miss a beat! Never miss a beat! Never miss a beat!

She eventually came down to the ground and charged at Yang, becoming a rainbow blur while hitting the blonde multiple times. Yang gritted her teeth, unloading the spent shells in her gauntlets, as Neon smirked and cracked her glow sticks, turning them blue. She came forward again, dashing past Yang before she even realized that her right leg was now encased in ice.

Neon: Hm-hmm! Look!

She smacked her butt for emphasis.

Neon: Now you're bottom-heavy, too!

Getting quite irate now, Yang slammed her foot down and freed her entire leg, but was unable to stop Neon from freezing her left arm now. She saw Neon rollerblading on rails and through archways, gaining distance until she sped forth and kicked Yang back into a wall, cracking it behind her.

Neon: You should cool off! Get it? Because you're angry.

Not appreciating he pun one bit, Yang smashed her arm against the wall, once again shattering the ice and the structure itself. Meanwhile, Weiss and Flynt were facing each other in the burning section, Weiss gestured all around her with the blade and spinning wildly to summon four glyphs that shoot out an equal number of large ice chunks headed straight for her enemy. Flynt looked down and smiled, leaping forward onto his knees and blowing his horn just as a column of flame erupted right in front of him, diverting the fire to melt each of Weiss' frozen projectiles.

Flynt: Too bad all that money can't buy you skill.

Weiss grimaced at him before revolving her hilt to use a white type of Dust. She aimed a stream of wind at Flynt, who matched her power with his own blowing, creating a standstill until Weiss used a mere gesture to form several more glyphs around the field. She quickly bounced off each one, striking Flynt with each attack, until he put his foot down and started playing once more. Weiss was still propelling herself around, but nothing prepared her for a second Flynt appearing next to the first, and then another, and another after that, each color-coordinated musician joining their waves of noise together to send Weiss flying back.

Jaune: Whoa!

Port: What's this?

(Y/N): What kind of move is this?

Oobleck: It appears young Flynt has just activated his Semblance! And quite a remarkable one at that. Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on Flynt Coal's Killer Quartet!

The Flynts flipped their hats around to the audience, then looked up at the scoreboard to see Weiss and Yang down to half their Aura levels, but still in the game. He stepped forward, absorbing each of his duplicates as he prepared to finish it. His teammate was still giving trouble to Yang, using a ramp to outrun her now red-eyed opponent. But Neon soon slowed down to a more the change.

Neon: Ooh! Flashy eyes! Y'know, you're actually kinda pretty when you're angry.

Yang shook her head and her eyes went back down to purple. She propelled herself forward using her shotgun blasts.

Yang: Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!

Weiss was getting back up and saw her sword. She reached out to it only for Flynt to step on the blade. She looked up at him before their attention was drawn to their partners.

Yang: Get back here!

Neon was rolling around Yang in a lazy circle.

Neon: I wasn't trying to say that you should go on a diet, I was saying you really need to go on a diet!

Yang: THAT'S IT!

Neon: You're fat.

Flynt looked back at Weiss before deciding to focus his attention on Yang, once more becoming four fighters and ready to blow her away. Weiss looked through the clones and saw Yang completely distracted, as well as a pool of lava bubbling away right in front of him/them. Without pause, Weiss jumped up and knocked the original into the magma just as it erupted several feet in the air. Yang took notice in this.

Yang: What?

(Y/N), Ruby and Blake: Weiss!

Port: It appears we have a double knockout on our hands!

Oobleck: In fact, it looks as though Miss Schnee's Aura has been completely depleted! She sacrificed herself to take out Flynt! Wait a minute. What's this!?

"This" turned out to be Flynt, wobbly and almost at his limit, but standing back up from the smoke.

Port: Ladies and gentlemen, Flynt Coal remains standing!

Flynt began walking toward Yang, a look of pure anger on his face. Neon skated back over to her leader as he marched forward.

Neon: You did it, Flynt! Don't worry about her, she's easy! But kind of annoying.

Yang finally reached her breaking point, fists clenching and ground trembling.

Port: Ooh, looks like Yang's angry! And you wouldn't like her when she's... upset.

Her scream of rage combining with the group of lava bursts from the rocks, she punched out several shots at the two opponents, who manage to dodge the blasts.

(Y/N)'s mind: holy hell. It's like a female Broly.

Flynt: Yo, Neon, go!

He bloew again and helped Neon rush forward, and Yang met her in the waves of sound, using her shots to keep her from being pushed away as she attempted to get a hit on the girl. Failing that, she leaped out of the noise and blasted the ground where Neon was, then launched herself back to create some space. Her blasted almost got Flynt, who's forced to change the direction of his tune and directed Neon elsewhere, still avoiding the blasts and even rolling on the debris being formed, though with a noticeably more shaky stance than usual. She rolled up on a ramp made from the debris into the geyser biome. Yang landed on the ground away from her and ran right at Flynt, rocketing forward even as he used his Semblance once more to deliver a fourfold attack. Shooting behind her, however, provided the necessary boost to finally get close and clap her hands over the mouth of the trumpet. Less than a second of silence was broken by the musical backfire right in Flynt's face, becoming one person for the final time as he was knocked on his back and the buzzer rings.

Oobleck: Oh, sour note for Flynt!

Yang slid back from the blast, searching for her remaining opponent as Neon tried avoiding the geyser spouts.

Neon: Never miss a beat! Never miss a beat! Never miss a...

At that moment, her front wheels caught on a crack in the ground, losing her balance and causing her to shed a few quick tears.

Neon: ...beat?

Time caught up as she pitched forward, trying to roll up in a ball only to get caught in the blast of a geyser. She was helpless to do anything as Yang smirks, fired off a single shot, and hit her screaming target in an explosion of sparks and smoke, as well as a third buzzing sound. Yang however soon remembered something.

Yang: Weiss!

She ran back into the fire section and kneeled next to her ash-covered teammate.

Yang: Weiss! Are you okay?

Weiss got up and coughed some smoke before weakly responding.

Weiss: I may not be singing for a while.

Yang looked both worried and relieved until she broke out into a joking smile.

Yang: You know, I'm not sure that was proper form.

Weiss: Oh, ha ha.

Neon: WHAT!? We lost? We lost?

Yang and Weiss' attention was drawn to her, now devoid of color, as she freaks out.

Neon: Team FNKI lost? That was... that was...

Color returned to the suddenly-overjoyed redhead as her eyes turn into rainbow sparkles for a moment.

Neon:... amazing! Oh my gosh, you guys were super crazy awesome! We should definitely party together sometime, right Flynt?

Flynt: That was a gutsy move, Schnee. I dig it.

Yang and Weiss smiled at the good losers and see the rest of their team coming to the injured heiress's side.

Blake: Good job, you two!

Ruby: Yeah!

(Y/N): that was one impressive match.

The team congratulated the two as the crowds cheered on.

(TimeSkip).

Later on that evening in a certain Beacon dorm room, Cinder was sitting on her bed looking through files on her Scroll. Emerald was lying on the floor also playing with her own device, and Mercury was doing push-ups beside her. Cinder soon found something that made her look in surprise.

Cinder: Oh.

Emerald: What?

Cinder had accessed a document regarding the blueprints of "P.E.N.N.Y.".

Cinder: Oh nothing. We're just going to be making a slight, hmm... alternation in the plan.

Mercury: What does that mean?

Cinder: It means that this will be even easier than we thought.

(Meanwhile).

Within the headmaster's office at twilight, Ozpin was facing the window, his back to the elevators when the doors opened and Qrow stepped inside, approaching his desk with coffee mug in hand.

Qrow: You know, he's making you look like a fool.

Ozpin: His heart is in the right place. He's just... misguided.

Qrow: Sometimes, I'm not even sure he has a heart.

There was silence for a moment.

Qrow: So, have you chosen your guardian yet?

Ozpin: Maidens choose themselves. I simply believe I've found the right candidate. Ever since the day I met her, I had the feeling she would be the one. She's strong, intelligent, caring... but most importantly, she's ready.

As he lists these qualities off, Pyrrha entered the elevator of the Cross Continental Transmit System tower. She gave an ominous smile as the elevator went up.

A/N: that damn clock is ticking.
