Chapter Eight - Fall

In the aftermath of the Kybuck Clan's victory against Team SHDW, Katooni's wounds were treated. Luckily for her, the cuts were easy to heal. As Katooni laid in her bed to recover, Petro and the rest of the Kybuck Clan met up with her. 

Petro: Hey there. How are you holding up?

Katooni: I'm fine. The doctor managed to heal most of the wounds. I should be good for our next fight. 

Zatt: That was one heck of a performance you put on. 

Katooni: Really? I could've done better. 

Ganodi: I think everyone else would disagree. You should've seen Ruby! She was cheering for you and Petro!

Katooni was caught off guard by that. In that fight, she kept her focus solely on Mordred. She didn't even stop to think how everyone else would react. 

Petro: Sorry I didn't keep my defenses up. 

Katooni: You have nothing to apologize for, Petro. It's because of you that we won the match. 

Byph: She's right! How did you break down that spear?

Petro then remembered breaking Mordred's double bladed spear with a single punch. Despite the circumstances being weird, it felt perfectly natural. 

Petro: I...I don't know. One minute I was fighting Mordred and the next I'm looking at some kind of mosaic painting. I was able to see the weak spot of the spear and I exploited it. 

It was clear to the rest of the Kybuck Clan as well as Petro that what happened was surreal. It was clear that Petro had awakened some innate Force ability. Katooni seemed to recognize it based on the description Petro had given. 

Katooni: I might be wrong, but I think you unlocked Shatterpoint. 

Petro: Shatterpoint? You mean the power that Master Windu uses? 

Katooni: I...I think so. Maybe we should ask Professor Huyang. 

Zatt soon looks to the TV in the room and saw that the first match of the finals had already begun. 

Zatt: Huh. Looks like Yang's kicking off the finals. 

Everyone turns their attention to the TV. They watched Yang fighting Mercury Black from Cinder Fall's team. They watched as Yang mopped the floor with him. It seemed as if Yang had won the match. 

Port(TV): What a way to kick off the finals!

Oobleck(TV): Yang Xiao Long wins!

As the announcement was made, the Kybuck Clan felt pride for their friend. Gungi was especially happy for Yang's victory. Suddenly, there was a strange occurrence. Yang seemed to charge at a defenseless Mercury and seemingly broke his leg. The feed was soon abruptly cut. 

Petro: What the hell just happened?! 

Ganodi: It looks like Yang attacked that guy. 

Gungi: <That can't be true! Yang would never do such a thing!>

Byph: Gungi's right! There's no way Yang would do this! 

Petro: How about we ask Yang about what happened? How are you feeling, Katooni?

Katooni: I should be good. 

With that, the Kybuck Clan made their way to Team RWBY's dorm where they see General Ironwood exit. He exchanges a condescending glare at the Jedi Younglings and simply walks away. As they entered the room, they saw Yang distressed. 

Yang: You here to tell me I snapped too?

Petro: Not exactly. We saw what happened. Why don't you tell us what happen from your side of the story. 

Yang: That Mercury guy attacked me! It was self defense! Why doesn't anyone believe me?!

Ruby: We believe you, Yang!

Katooni: So do we. 

Blake: Even after what you've seen on the TV?

Petro: Something about all this is out of place. 

Weiss: Well there's nothing we can do about it now. General Ironwood has informed us that we've been disqualified. 

The situation simply made angry to the point where she punched the wall in frustration. Gungi walked over to Yang and placed his hand on her shoulder. 

Gungi: <We will find out what happened here, Yang. The Life Debt I swore to you demands that I restore the honor of your name. On my honor as both a Jedi Knight and a Wookie, your honor shall be restored.>

As Gungi stated his intentions, Yang was moved by Gungi's words. At this point, Ruby and Weiss made it clear that they supported Yang. Blake was still hesitant to believe Yang, but still supported her. Suddenly, Pyrrha Nikos entered the Dorm. 

Ruby: Hey Pyrrha! What are you doing here?

Pyrrha: I wanted to speak with Katooni and her team in private. 

With that, the Kybuck Clan met up with Pyrrha in their dorm room. They didn't waste time with the conversation. 

Petro: So how did it go with Ozpin?

Pyrrha: I accepted the responsibility of inheriting the powers of the Fall Maiden. 

Katooni: I don't envy you, Pyrrha. 

Pyrrha: Do you believe in destiny?

Upon hearing this, the Kybuck Clan were caught off guard by this. They all had differing views on destiny. After a moment of silence, Katooni spoke. 

Katooni: As one of our old teachers once said, it is often difficult to see the future, for the future is always in motion. We cannot always be sure of the consequences of our actions. While it is best to be mindful of the future, but we shouldn't be so at the expense of the moment here and now. 

At that point, Pyrrha was taken aback by this. The words Katooni spoke deeply resonated within her to a dramatic effect. 

Pyrrha: T...thank you for your wise words, Katooni. You have given me much to think about. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a match to prepare for.

Petro: Good luck, Pyrrha. 

With that, Pyrrha left the dorm room. 

Zatt: Looks like someone was paying close attention to Master Yoda's lessons. 

Katooni: What can I say? Yoda was very wise. 

Petro: Let's get back to the colosseum. This fight should be good!

The Kybuck Clan soon left the dorms to make their way to the Amity Colosseum to watch Pyrrha's fight. What they didn't know was that a dark plot would soon be realized.
