(Ruby's POV)

All Might: I want team RWBY to get ready for a fight of their lives.

I was shocked. There is no way me and my team can fight All Might and live! My mom walked up to All Might and putted her hand on his shoulder.

Summer: Are you sure that it is a good idea for them to fight you?

All Might: This is going to be the quickest way to train. And for the foes they will be fighting, they will have to be able to hold their own against me.

Yang: Come on. We can take on All Might!

All Might started to laugh.

All Might: I like your spirit Yang. But you will need more then spirit against me. Now, I will be heading in that direction. I will give you four a minute to think of a plan. I will be playing the part of a villain.

He dashed off and was no longer here. I got out Crescent Rose and was thinking of an idea.

Weiss: So what do we do?

Ruby: There is no way we are beating All Might in a head on fight. So we have to surprise him with something that he wouldn't expect. Any ideas with that?

Weiss: Aren't you the leader? You should be the one with a plan.

Ruby: What we do is-

I was interrupted by a huge gust of wind. We tried to keep our footing. Even everyone else watching in the sidelines struggle keeping their footing as well. I looked over to where the wind came from to see a huge clear area with a bunch of dust flying around and no trees on sight.

Blake: Wasn't that area full of trees just a minute ago.

We heard laughter. All Might walked out of the dust that surrounded the area.

Ruby:"How is he this intimidating?"

All Might: Times up. How will you stop a villain, such as myself?

Ruby: Ok guys. We need to-

All Might dashed at me and went behind me. I tried to turn around but he grabbed my arm and threw me into a nearby tree.

(Readers POV)

I just got done throwing Ruby. I made sure not to do it too hard. Yang rushed at me and tried to punch me. I grabbed her arm and started to swing her around. I was using her as a weapon and swung her into Weiss and Blake. Sending them backwards. I heard Ruby behind me and I quickly turned around and slammed her with yang into the ground, the impact causing a bunch of dust to rise up. The dust cleared and I was holding Yang by her arm and I put a foot on top of Ruby.

(Y/N): Come huntresses. Is this the best you got?

Yang: I'm just getting started!

Yang reeled back her free arm and tried to punch me. I grabbed her arm and threw her away. I noticed that my foot slammed down into the ground. I looked down to see no Ruby, only rose petals. I looked around to see her behind me, getting ready to fire at me. I was about to punch when something held back my arm. I looked to see a black ribbon holding back me from punching. I felt a bullet it me in the face as the explosion covered my field of vision.

Ruby: We should hide for now!

I heard Ruby shout. I was able to wave the smoke away and I didn't see anyone from team RWBY.

(Y/N): That was a lucky shot.

I started to walk around to see where they were hiding. They must be planning something. I was about to get rid of another chunk of the forest. Yang suddenly appeared in front of me and punched me with her left arm. I was about to counter attack, but Blake's black ribbon held back both my arms. Weiss's ice started to surround my legs, causing me to not be able to move. Yang jumped back and shouted.

Yang: Now Ruby!

I was confused. I noticed that Yang didn't have her robotic arm. I looked behind me to see Ruby holding Yang's robot arm. She aimed it at me and she fired a bunch of grenades from the robot arm and they went off at point blank range. A big explosion covered me entirely. I was sent flying into a couple of trees. I got up and coughed out a little bit of blood.

Yang: Yeah, aren't so tough now!

(Y/N): I think it's about time I get serious.

I said under my breath. I used more power and rushed over to the four of them.

(Y/N): What's your next plan?

They all tried to attack me, but I punched the ground, causing big parts of the ground to rise up and sending them up into the air. I jumped up and punched Weiss, sending her into Blake and Yang. They all crashed down into the ground. I looked over to see Ruby landed safely.

Ruby: Guys!

I rushed behind her.

(Y/N): Ruby, it's a good thing that you care for your teammates, but you have to look out for your self too.

She used her semblance to jump away and to get some distance from me. I turned around and punched the air.

(Y/N): SMASH!

The force from my punch sent me back flying. Causing me to slam into Ruby's back. She was sent flying into the ground. I landed onto the ground and I saw all of team RWBY slowly get up.

(Y/N): Come on girls. If that's the best you can do, you stand no chance against Salem and her team.

I looked over to see Yang get her arm and putted it on.

Yang: Just because we can't do it by ourselves, doesn't mean we can't do it all together.

Weiss: Yang is right. We have our friends that will help us with this mission.

Blake: And we aren't going to quit, even if you say we aren't enough.

(Y/N): You will be wishing you did quit.

I was about to rush over at Weiss, Blake, and Yang when I heard crackles of lightning. I turned around to see Ruby using One For All.

Ruby: I won't be wishing for anything.

She is using One For All at full power. Even she knows that her aura is about to break, but she is still going. She rushed over to me.

(Ruby's POV)

I'm not going to lie, I'm scared. Scared that my aura can't handle this power, scared for my friends, and scared of facing All Might. But this fear won't hold me back. I started to smile at All Might, taking his advice of smiling, even when you are in danger. I used my semblance and punched him right in the face. He was sent flying and I started to pass out. The backlash of One For All is getting to me. Before I passed out, I saw All Might hit the ground and puffed into his normal form. It looks like we won. I hit the floor and passed out.
