Inside the dormroom of Team RWBY, Ruby is currently sitting at the desk with a laptop in front of her. She was on a face-time call with her two mothers.

However, when her call was accepted, she was immediately met with her birth mother's tits covering the camera.

Summer (Face-Time): Is it working?

Raven (Face-Time): It should be, we accepted the call

Ruby: Uuuuh... mom?

Summer quickly moved back as Ruby saw both Raven and Summer fully now. Both women are wearing revealing lingerie.

Summer (Face-Time): Oh! There we go! Hi sweetheart! How are you? Where's your sister?

Ruby: She's, uh... (glances over to the side to see Yang currently in a threesome with Blake and Weiss. She looks back at them) busy at the moment. Anyways, sorry that we haven't contacted you in a while. Things have been... well, things have been, pretty busy

Raven (Face-Time): Yes, we saw the news of that Grimm invasion in Vale. We're proud of you

Ruby: Thanks, Mama Raven... oh! That reminds me! Guess what? I finally have my Viltrumite powers!

Hearing this, both married women of L/N looked at Ruby in shock and happiness. Both of them have different reactions.

Summer (Face-Time): What?! No way! Ruby, that's wonderful to hear! I'm so happy for you!

Raven (Face-Time): (Nods) Yes. It's certainly about time. Has Yang gotten hers yet?

Ruby: Not yet, I'm afraid, but it shouldn't be long now before she does. I begin my Viltrumite training with Daddy once our call is done. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous... I don't want to let him down...

Summer (Face-Time): Oh, Ruby. We all know that you could never let your father down. You and Yang, you're both his prides of joy

Ruby smiled when she heard this while Yang did the same, having Blake and Weiss sucking away at her tits while she fingered the two.

Ruby: Thanks, mom. That means a lot...

Summer (Face-Time): (Smiles back) Any time, sweetie

Raven (Face-Time): And what about your teammates. Who do you have?

Ruby: Fortunately, Yang is on my team. And our other two are Weiss and Blake! They're really cool

Raven (Face-Time): A Schnee? How interesting...

Ruby: Yup! Together, we form Team RWBY!

Both milfs giggled at that, the irony of Ruby's team name funny.

Ruby: (Tilts her head in innocent confusion) What? What's so funny?

Summer (Face-Time): Nothing, sweetheart. We're just happy for you and your sister. You haven't been in Beacon for that long, and yet you've accomplished so much, it's amazing

Raven (Face-Time): Agreed. And the Vytal Festival starts soon. Your mother and I will be cheering you all on. Give it everything you've got, okay?

Summer (Face-Time): Even if you don't win, we'll be proud regardless, right, Raven?

Raven (Face-Time): Right. Of course... though winning would be there better outcome

Summer (Face-Time): *Sighs* Raven...

Ruby: *Giggles* It's okay, mom. Don't worry, we're gonna come out of this on top. I promise you that

Raven (Face-Time): (Smirks) Good...

Summer (Face-Time): Anyways. We've taken enough of your time. Tell your father that we love him, okay?

Raven (Face-Time): Tell him that I love him more

Summer (Face-Time): Huh?! No, Ruby, wait, tell him I love him more!

Ruby: (Smiles) Okay. We love you both. Talk to you soon

Raven (Face-Time): Talk to you later, Ruby

Summer (Face-Time): Bye-bye, sweetie! (To Raven) F/N loves me mo -

The call then ended, Ruby giggled at this before she heard her teammates moan in ecstasy as the three finally came together. The three naked women panting on unison.

Ruby: Surprised you three managed to keep quiet for that long

Yang: We can be quite when we wanna be, sis...

Blake: Though Weiss making out with Yang did help...

Ruby nodded before she got up from the chair and began to undress.

Ruby: (Taking her top off as her bare tits bounced free) Well, you three continue to have fun. I need to get ready for my Viltrumite training with Daddy. It's time for me to get stronger and become -

Outside the grounds of Beacon Academy, F/N was patiently waiting for Ruby, wearing a red tracksuit with his logo on it. He stared off into the floating stadium that will hold this year's Vytal Festival.

Ruby (Voice-only): Sorry if I kept you waiting, Daddy!

F/N: Hm?

Turning around, F/N is greeted by Ruby as she's now decked out in some tight looking sportswear. He admired her figure before smiling.

F/N: It's alright, Rosebud. Are you ready for your Viltrumite training?

Ruby: More than you ever know!
Let's do this!

F/N: (Nods) Good, let's get going then

Ruby nodded eagerly as she followed her father into the Bullhead in front of them so they could begin Ruby's Viltrumite training.

*Crash!*

Ruby: Oof! Owie...

F/N: You lasted longer than previously

Ruby: It's still not enough...

In an open field, Ruby and F/N had begun Ruby's Viltrumite training. Craters littered the place due to Ruby's multiple failed attempts to try and fly.

Ruby gets up to her feet, dusting herself off before looking up at her floating father.

Ruby: You make it look so easy...

F/N: That's because I've had years of practice. You have just awakened your powers, Ruby. This process takes time. You'll get there, trust me

Ruby: *Sighs* If you say so, Daddy...

Ruby looked down at the ground in self frustration. Seeing this, Ruby landed in front of his daughter and pats her head.

F/N: You remind me of myself when I was training to use my abilities. I was very inpatient also

Ruby: Really...? Then how did you overcome it?

F/N: (Smiles) Endless dedication and encouragement from my Viltrumite peers. Trust me, Ruby, you'll get the hang of this, I have faith in you

Ruby smiled at her father, determination filling her as he continued to encourage her. She then pulled him into a loving hug.

Ruby: Thanks, Daddy! You're the best!

F/N: (Pats her head) No problem, Ruby. Ready to continue?

Ruby: You bet I am!

F/N: (Smirks) Heh. Then let's continue

A stadium of epic proportions is now seen. Crowds are cheering in the stands and visitors from all over the world. In the field of volcanic earth and icy glaciers below, Ruby fires and swings her Crescent Rose at her target as Blake exchanges blows with Reese Chloris, the blades of her Gambol Shroud colliding with the hoverboard of her opponent until she flips away, readies herself, and charges in again.

Behind her, Weiss waves her Myrtenaster as the sound of her mystical power is heard, and finally, Yang dodges the explosive force of Arslan Altan's fist before returning fire with her own with her Ember Celica.

High above the action, two familiar teachers are sitting at a sportscaster's desk, with a microphone between them and the holographic image of the four kingdoms' symbols united as one.

Port: Hello! It seems that we have another astonishing bout ahead of us! Wouldn't you agree, Professor?

Oobleck: (Annoyed) Doctor. (brightens up excitedly again) And yes, Peter, I think it's safe to say this match may be the closest we've seen of the four-on-four round of the tournament!

Port: For those of you just now joining us, welcome to the Vytal Festival Tournament, broadcast live from the Amity Colosseum!

He waves his arm to gesture at the entire event from his place on the gigantic screen over the crowds.

The Coliseum is shown in its full glory, as shuttle craft transport people to and from the various floors while the entire structure hovers around the airspace of Beacon Academy.

Explosions are seen throughout the battlefield, but the view shifts back to the announcers as they begin speaking again.

Port: If this is your first time watching, allow us to break down the rules

Oobleck: (He holds up the appropriate number of fingers for each of his explanations as a hologram to his side illustrates the rules) The tournament is divided into three distinctive rounds; teams, doubles, and singles. Age and school year are irrelevant! In this tournament, your only attribute is being tested... is skill

Port: (Nods as another hologram pops up to do the same thing) Correct! The winners of this battle will elect two of their members to represent them in the doubles round, followed by the winners of that round, choosing one member to advance once again. The remaining combatants will then fight their way through the final bracket in the hope of achieving victory for their kingdom!

The hologram disappears with the image of a victorious figure, sword raised and wearing a crown.

Oobleck: (Pushes up his own spectacles as he says this) And yes, Peter, these certainly are some spectacular spectacles on which to spectate on! I don't think anyone tuning in around the world is going to disagree with me on that!

As they say this, the scene changes to their televised broadcasts all around the kingdoms, from a row of holographs above the patrons in the Mistral Distillery to an Atlas home with a group of friends seeing it together, a bar in Vale where everyone turns to view the screen, and outside a mobile home in Vacuo being watched by a few Faunus on a projection and finally the home of Summer and Raven, the two women cuddled up together on the couch as they cheered their daughters on.

Summer: Kick their sorry butts, girls! Do mommy proud! Represent L/N and show them why we're -

Raven: (Calming her down) You really need to lay low on the sugar, Summer

Summer: Never!

Port: Ahh, and why would they? Now, let's get back to the match between Team RWBY of Beacon and Team ABRN of Haven!

The announcements cut back to the action, as Reese steers her board through the ice. She twirls herself until the board gets launched at Blake, but she's able to knock it away, only for Reese to direct it back at her opponent.

Blake blocks it again, but the board rotates back to its wielder just in time to defend Reese as Blake delivers several slashes and kicks.

Reese deflects each attack and spins her weapon around until she can flip away and ride it again, rushing towards a smirking Blake.

She collides with the frozen shadow clone, and Blake uses his opportunity to slice the board in two, only for the halves to become dual katars that in turn fold up into bayonet-bladed revolvers.

Reese manages to fire off a few green rounds before her tailbone collides painfully on the cold ground. Blake winces with sympathy.

Reese: Yeowch! M-Man, Cat Faunus really do have good reaction timed, huh...?

Blake: I really am sorry...

Reese: It's fine, but don't think this over yet! Cause I ain't giving up!

Meanwhile, Yang lands mere feet away from Arslan, who backs away before being pounded by two quick punches.

The pair dodge each others kicks, and then Arslan delivers her own hits, launching a series of hammer blows.

Arslan: Such strength! You truly are a daughter of Superior, huh?!

Yang: You haven't seen anything yet!

Yang defends herself and retaliates, the clash ending with the two smashing fists and creating a shockwave of force from the impact.

Yang and Arslan are both thrown back, but Yang reaches her and tries delivering more blows before Arslan flips away then uses her rope dart to tangle up her blonde adversary's leg and land a kick of her own to send Yang skidding on the ground.

Arslan: This has the fight I have been waiting for! Many have fought me and combat and have lost instantly. But you...? No... you're clearly superior to the rest...

While Yang tries to get her balance back on the slippery surface, Arslan rushes forward and knocks her back even further.

Arslan: Give me more of this wonderful rush!

Nearby, Nadir Shiko tries aiming with his assault rifle at Yang before a sudden burst of frosty blue explodes behind him and leaves the whimpering gunner in a block of ice up to his thighs.

Ruby: (Looks up from her sniper scope) Got your back!

Bolin: But who's got yours?

Ruby looks up behind her as Bolin twirls his staff, right when a black snowflake glyph appears to his left and Weiss kicks him through it into a rock.

Ruby: My partner!

Weiss: (Does a curtsey) Naturally (runs off)

Ruby: (Pumps her fist, whispering to herself:) Yes

Bolin crouches with his weapon as he sees a white glyph appear in front of him. A second later, Weiss dashes by and slashes at him, then leaps up and attempts an aerial attack, which he's able to block.

She readies her sword while preparing a glyph behind her, and Ruby uses it to launch herself straight up and come down spinning on Bolin, who manages to block the curved blade.

Ruby grimaces and blasts herself away to Weiss' side, and Bolin rushes at them, rolling away from the shards of ice that rain on him and jumping over Ruby's swhe continues running.

Ruby: Whaaat!?

Bolin manages to reach an orange crystal deposit and slice off a shard, which he throws to Reese over in the icy half of the stadium.

With Dust in hand, Reese fuses it with her board, turning the aqua lights to a crimson shade. She winks at Blake, then uses the board's heat to free Nadir from his icy snare.

Nadir: Thanks, Reese!

She comes back to Blake and slams her board into her enemy's blade, but propels herself backwards and knocks Blake through a frozen pillar. Reese attempts to use her board to slam her foe into the ground, but when she dodges that, she spins around in a flaming arc that Blake narrowly misses thanks to her shadows.

Changing tactics, Blake launches the pistol part of Gambol Shroud at a nearby glacier and launches herself behind it, as Reese follows her and sees Blake with her back turned to her under an arch.

Reese grins before riding in to deliver a flaming spiral at the shadow clone, only to see the ribbon Blake is launching to trap her opponent a moment too late.

She pulls tightly and causes Reese to slam body-first into the string, only to use a final kick to knock her out of the stage. Reese crashes into the wall of the stands before landing on the ground, defeated.

Reese's Aura level drops in the team display until her image is crossed out, and she angrily slams her fist on the ground.

Port: Ooh, a double whammy! Reese Chloris is eliminated by ringout and Aura level!

Oobleck: Oh, she really should've worn a helmet!

Back in the fight, Arslan uses her rope to swing around and avoid Yang right behind her, using shotgun blasts to propel herself forward.

Nadir comes into the picture, aiming his rifle at Weiss as she summons another glyph and launches Bolin at him.

The two teammates are helpless as Weiss creates a whirlwind from underneath them and slamming the two together until she forms a giant ice fist straight up from the ground to trap the two.

It reforms itself into a ball that rolls around the field, and when Arslan sees her team in this state, she rolls her eyes, annoyed, before changing direction and sliding into the path of the ball.

She readies her stance and drives her hand into the sphere, which cracks under her power and frees her allies.

Weiss: Yang! (Yang turns to look just as she creates a large frozen slide-like shape) NOW!

Knowing what to do, Yang blasts herself forward and skims over the wall of ice, catching Blake's pistol as her teammate uses Ruby as a launch pad to jump off of towards the remaining members of ABRN.

Yang: You wanna see my best, Arslan?! Well, here it is!

The three only have a second to look horrified as Blake whips a screaming Yang around to land a devastating punch that sends the trio flying into their elimination.

Arslan: Amazing... simply amazing... this feeling of defeat...

Yang: (As the buzzer sounds and Ruby cheers, "YAAAAAY!" In the background:) Yes!

Port: And that's the match! Team RWBY is victorious!

Weiss: (Looking around and sounding surprised) We... did it?

Ruby: (Looking at her sister for confirmation, she smiles and leaps into the air, screaming:) WE DID IIIIII-

...

...

...

Ruby: -...is anyone else starving? (suddenly hunched over)

Blake: (Looking cool as ever, arms behind her head) I may have worked up an appetite

The growling of an angry beast from her stomach proves her statement, much to its owner embarrassment.

Weiss: (Sarcastically shrugging her arms) Gee, if only there was somewhere on campus to get food around here

The view zooms out to show a myriad of tents and small shops wreathed in colourful flags in a large forest clearing as people mill about to experience it all.

Weiss: Oh, wait

Yatsuhashi can be seen flexing in front of two girls nearby. A pair of Atlesian Knight-200"s on patrol walk past the girls as they talk.

Ruby: (Taking Weiss' shoulder) It's okay, Weiss, I forget about the fairgrounds, too

Weiss: I was being facetious?

Ruby: (Freaks out) Gah! Well, if you were hungry, why didn't you say so!?

F/N (Voice-only): Then lucky for you four, I know just the place

Team RWBY looked over as F/N walked up to them, a smile on his face. The four women immediately smiled back when seeing him.

Ruby & Yang: Daddy!

Both daughters eagerly hugged their father, glomping him as F/N chuckled while Weiss and Blake smiled.

F/N: You four did amazing out there, I'm proud of each and every one of you. Truly, well done

Ruby and Yang pulled away as Team RWBY smiled at him, happy at his praise.

Ruby: Thanks, Daddy

Weiss: Naturally

Blake: We won together as a team

Yang: Was there ever any doubt?

F/N chuckled at their responses before a new voice got their attention.

Reese (Voice-only): Oh my God! It can't be, can it?!

The group looked over as they saw Reese and Arslan standing there as they stared at F/N in shock and awe.

Reese: It totally is! It's you, Superior himself! We're huge fans, Mr. Superior, dude!

Arslan: (Bows) May I say it's a great honour to be in the presence of someone as great as you...

Reese: Yeah, what she said

Yang: Heh. Of course, they're fans of him

Weiss: I am not surprised

Blake: Me neither

F/N: *Chuckles* It's always nice to meet my fans. Though you last, you two did your best despite the odds, I admire that type of dedication. You two will make great Huntresses in the future

Both women blushed at his praise and his handsome smile. Team RWBY giggled behind F/N when seeing this.

Yang: There he goes again, getting more girls under his belt

Blake: I'd say they'll be on their knees by the end of the day

F/N: (Ignoring their comments) We were actually about to get something to eat. Care to join us?

Reese: You kidding me?! Heck yeah, we would!

Arslan: I would be honoured, sir

Team RWBY, along with Reese and Arslan star to follow F/N, but Weiss suddenly stops as she hears a ringtone on her scroll.

Pulling it out, she sees the caller ID labelled "FATHER" and glares at the device, putting it back from where she got it, unanswered.

Emerald: (Voice-only, holding a red wallet filled with Lien) Hey! Might be hard to eat without this

Ruby: (Frantically patting around her outfit, panicking) No, no, no, no!

Emerald: *Laughs* Good to see you, Ruby

Ruby: (Takes the wallet back from her "friend" and puts it away) Oh! Thanks, Emerald! Oh. Guess I dropped it. Girl pockets are the worst! (slouches as she says this)

Emerald: (Smiles at F/N) It's good to see you again also, Superior, sir

Ruby: You two met already?

F/N: Yes, we met in Vale outside a bookstore. I occasionally visit it with Blake whenever she's available

Ruby: Cool

Yang: So, what's up, Em?

Emerald: Just left the stadium after your amazing fight! You guys were awesome!

Ruby: (Blushing and mumbling) Oh, shut your stupid little face...

Reese: Yeah, gotta admit, they were bad ass

Arslan: I certainly enjoyed the challenge that Yang gave me. I haven't felt a rush like that in ages

Yang: (Leans into her ear to whisper) If you wanna, I could give you a... different type of rush ~

Arslan: Oh?

Blake: I heard your team progressed to the next round, too

Weiss: You know, I feel that we haven't seen your other teammates

F/N: How'd they do in the fight?

Emerald tilts her head up in thought, remembering how she blasted opponents with Thief's respite, then slashed behind her as Mercury  kicks out a shotgun blast with Talaria, Cinder Fall did the same with her own target, landing the poor soul at the feet of their teammate, a mysterious black-haired girl who leans over and stares down at ther person,  her green eyes blink into a pair of pink and brown irises as she smirks while delivering a stomp on her victim's face into darkness.

Emerald: (Coming back to reality, nodding) Really well

Ruby: That's great. Uh. Why don't we all go and get a victory food together?

Emerald: Oh, gosh, that's so nice of you, but my teammates are all kind of...

She looks back at Mercury as he sniffs the inside of a boot, looking perplexed after he does so.

Emerald: ...introverted. It's really socially awkward

Yang: (Nodding) Ooh, yeah, I could see that

Arslan: At least he values good hygiene

Emerald: Oh yeah, it looks like Merc and I are going to move on to the doubles round. What about you guys?

Ruby: (Looking pretty proud of herself) Well, as the leader of this team, I thought long and hard about this decision

Weiss: (Popping in to remind her, straight-faced:) We put it to a vote

Ruby: (Nervously tries to backtrack) Yes, so, but I decided that we should put it to a vote

Blake: We voted for Weiss and Yang

Weiss: (Curtsying) I will happily represent Team RWBY

Yang: (Pounding her fists together, her tits jiggling from the impact) Yeah, we're going to kick some butt!

Reese: After what I just went through, I don't doubt that

Arslan: I look forward to seeing you fight again, Yang

Emerald: *Laughs* Well, if Mercury and I see you down the line, don't think we'll go easy on ya.

Yang: (She and Weiss return Emerald's confident smirk with their own) Wouldn't have it any other way

Emerald: (She turns and walks away from them as they do the same) Alright, well, we're going to catch some more fights

Ruby: (Waving her arm) Have fun!

Emerald: (Cheerfully giving her own wave) See you later!

She immediately drops the act as she walks with Mercury and looks disgusted.

Mercury: So, how are the new friends?

Emerald: (Scowling) I hate them. I don't know how F/N can deal with people like that. I can tolerate his daughters

Mercury: (Shrugging) Orders are orders, and you're only saying that because F/N would stop dicking you down if you complained like that in front of him... or tear you in half. Wouldn't mind seeing that actually

Emerald: (Glares at him) Shut up, you're only still alive because F/N has use for you

Mercury: Can same the exact thing about you too, sweetcheeks. Regardless, did you at least get what we want?

Emerald: (Waves his question away) It's the heiress and Yang. We're just lucky Yang hasn't unlocked her Viltrumite abilities yet

Mercury: Hmm, alright. At least we know who we're working with

A pink-haired girl with a beanie walks by a hut with several posters, and inside, one man holds a cup.

At another one of the unassuming huts set up in the fairgrounds stringed with paper lanterns with a sign overhead saying A Simple Wok, Team RWBY along with F/N, Arslan and Reese sit at the stools outside, ready to order.

F/N: (Speaking to the worker) I'll have a bowl of the regular, please

A large bowl of noodles slides in front of him.

Yang: I'll have what he's having

Another large bowl of noodles slides in front of her.

Ruby: (Staring at their meals) Oohhh... I'll take the same

Another large bowl of noodles slides in front of her as she clasps her hands in excitement.

Weiss: (Looking concerned) Do you have anything with a low-salt ...?

Another large bowl of regular noodles instantly slides in front of her instead.

Weiss: Um... okay...

Reese: We'll take the same as them. I've built up an appetite after that fight

Arslan: Agreed. It is always satisfying to dine on a delicious meal after a good fight if I do say so myself

Two more large bowls slide over to the two women.

Instead of saying anything, Blake merely gives a nod and smile to the Shopkeep, who returns the gesture as he rushes through one door of his shop and comes out the other to leave a large bowl of noodles topped with fish in front of her. Blake's eyes light up as she drools over her order.

While Weiss looks strangely at her teammate, she gladly offers her Schnee Dust Company credit card to the Shopkeep.

Yang: Aw, Weiss! What's the occasion!?

Weiss: Consider it. Thanks for sending me to the doubles round

Her joy is ruined when the card is flung back at her, and the annoyed Shopkeep points to his register as it beeps "DECLINED".

Weiss: What?! How can my card be declined? I was barely into my monthly allowance!

Blake looks around panicked, she attempts to slowly slide her bowl closer to herself before the Shopkeep disappears with her food, causing the poor girl to slump over in defeat.

Blake: Nooo...

Pyrrha: Maybe I could help?

The group look up to see Team JNPR, Pyrrha Jaune, Nora, and Lie Ren, approach the stand.

Ruby: (Flings her arms wide in delight) Pyrrha!

F/N: Are you sure, Pyrrha? You don't have to

Blake: But she could!!!

F/N: But I can pay for it also...

Pyrrha: It's fine, sir, really, It's the least I could do

F/N: If you say so...

Jaune: Mind if we join you?

F/N: Of course

...

...

...

Later on, the bowls are empty, and each student is either content with their meal or holding their stomachs sickly.

Ren: (To Pyrrha:) Are you sure it's wise to have eaten before a fight?

Pyrrha: (As the Shopkeep quickly gathers the bowls and vanishes) Of course! It will give us energy!

Arslan: I couldn't agree better myself. More energy to burn off in glorious combat

Nora simply gives a hearty belch.

Jaune: (Splaying himself over the counter, sickly saying:) If I barf, I'm blaming you...

Nora: Ooh! (grinning evilly) Aim at the enemy!

Reese: Gross, but a cool strategy!

Nora: Yeah!

Ren: Nora, that's disgusting. But if you feel the urge...

Jaune: (Giving a weak thumbs-up) Got it

Pyrrha: (Standing up from her stool) Well, we should be off

Ruby: So, you think you guys are ready?

Nora: (Gestures to each of her teammates) Of course! We've got a world-renowned fighter on our team, one's basically ninja, I can bench five of me, Jaune, we trained all year, our weapons are awesome, Glynda barely yells at us anymore, and uh... Jaune!

Ren: (To Jaune:) Are you gonna take that?

Jaune: She's not wrong

F/N: Hm...

Nora: I'm kidding. He knows I'm kidding. (begins talking quickly, the colour slowly draining away as she gets more worried) Don't be so nervous! The worst that can happen is we lose, that is just a few more years of walking around school with everyone knowing we're failures, our friends will slowly abandon us to preserve their social status and F/N will no longer be interested in me, we won't be able to show our faces in class, no one will sit with us in the cafeteria, Ren and I have no parents, we have no home left to go to, we'll be officially renamed Team Lose-iper!

Her mad laughter turns into sobs as she slams her head on the counter.

F/N: That was a very specific scenario...

Reese: Yeah...

Ren: (Unperturbed) So, yeah, we're feeling pretty good

Pyrrha: Don't fret. If anything, we should be looking forward to a fight with actual guidelines, and not, well, ...murderers

Yang: Yeah, don't sweat it, we've all faced way worse before

Blake: (Counts off the threats on her fingers) Let's see. Grimm invasions, violent extremists, a destructive sociopath...

Reese: Really?! Wow! Man, I wanna move to Beacon now if you get that kind of action every day!

Arslan: All the strong opponents I could fight...

Ruby: And that's all while we're still in training! Oh, imagine what it would be like to graduate!

Weiss: (Sarcastically mumbling to herself:) Maybe then I'll be able to pay for a meal...

Port (Intercom): Would Team JNPR please report to the battlegrounds immediately!

Oobleck (Intercom): Yes! Like they were scheduled to, several minutes ago!

Pyrrha: Well, it looks like this is it

Ruby: (To Team JNPR as they walk away, Nora still depressed and Jaune looking queasy) Go get 'em!

F/N: We wish you all nothing but luck!

...

...

...

Team RWBY enter the Coliseum through one of its tunnels and head to their seats as Emerald and Mercury are seen walking behind them to do the same, F/N had left to do something else. Reese and Arslan nowhere to be seen also.

Down in the field below, the scorched ground and cold plains are no more, and only a layer of white mechanics is left, with a central stage on which the two teams gather.

Mercury: (Having found his seat with Emerald and munching on a large tub of popcorn) I wonder who's gonna win?

Emerald: Tch. As if we didn't already know

Cinder: (Walking up behind them, showing off her new outfit as she takes an unpopped kernel from Mercury's bucket) Oh, come now. Even if you know how the story ends, that doesn't make it any less fun to watch

Her eyes glow with her fingertips, and the kernel finally pops, which she enjoys while sitting down as Mercury and Emerald share a devious smirk.

Port: (Announcing over the cheering crowds) Team JNPR of Beacon versus Team BRNZ of Shade!

As each team readies their poses, a circle of holographic roulettes start spinning frantically through various symbols and colors before finally landing on a green pine tree and grey thunderstruck mountain.

With these random selections, half of the field opens to reveal a tree-filled forest, while the other raises a small rocky outcropping to fill in the circle. Jaune narrows his eyes in concentration; Ruby "WHO-HOOOO"s loudly from her seat.

Port: Three, two, one, begin!

As the start of the match, each team leaps forward at the other, ready to begin fighting.
