Chapter 186: Vytal Festival (5)
~Third POV~
On the battlefield arena of the fight with Team JNPR and Team SSSN both eyed each other carefully each with their weapons in hand gripping them in anticipation as they come to the center.
On the intercom system with Port announcing over the cheering crowds of the Teams showing Team RWBY winning against Team ABRN, "Ah, well, Mistral fans are sure to be hurting after that one, but this next one will have them on the edge of their seats!"
Port continues speaking while displaying a picture of the four new challengers to his right with the crowd hearing and seeing everything, "Team JNPR of Beacon is certainly a crowd favorite, but these Heroes of Remnant are going against some of the toughest, testosterone-filled teammates we've seen so far! I'm of course talking about... Team SSSN!"
"AhhH!"
"Go Team JNPR!!"
"Go teach them a lesson Team SSSN!"
"Sun Wukong represent Vacuo!"
The crows soon began to speak out loud voicing their cheers to their fan favorites with few spectators in the stands holding up signs with each male's face decorated with hearts, the exception being a simple image of a certain set of abs.
Jack rolls his eyes at that seeing the fan club Team SSSN is getting while Port continues hyping the crowd, "Sun Wukong and his team are certainly a force to be reckoned with, and although he'll be representing the Mistral Academy of Haven, I'm sure his friends and family back in Vacuo will be cheering him along!"
Team SSSN walks into the center of the field, waving to the cheering crowds as they do so with Neptune continues his waving until he spots his fans, which causes him to develop a confident attitude as he addresses them all, "Ladies. Ladies there are more than enough of me to go around. Click."
Neptune clicking his teeth shooting his fingers at guns at them making the girls on the stand swoon over causing Jack to respond to Sun about him, "Not to be rude Sun but… is he going to be ok in this fight?"
Sun sighs at this laughing lightly while Neptune gets the crowds get ready and the teams stand on opposite sides from one another, "Alright, girls, try and remember hands above the waist."
Pyrrha and Nora eyes twitched at that along with Jack and Ren mouth twitched hearing that with Nora to speak first, "Dibs."
No words exchanged was needed as the members of Team JNPR nodded in agreement making Sun grasping Neptune's arm as he apologizes quickly, "Ignore him, for he... Yeah, he's dumb."
Neptune simply gives a sparkling wink to the disgusted Pyrrha and Nora as the holographic roulette shows up again, landing on a yellow image of sunny dunes and stone formations until the real thing emerges from below.
A small circular light even appears overhead, causing most of the crowd to don sunglasses with Jack responding, "Huh? So, the dessert area. Well could be better shame it isn't forest like area."
Sun on the other hand is willing to take anything he could take against Team JNPR voicing out his relief, "Alright! Home field advantage! That's my turf, like the home of the back of my hand."
Scarlet looking down at his attire as the roulette begins again on the other side, "I hope I don't get sand in my shoes."
Neptune leaning over and whispering to Scarlet tried to calm him down, "Be cool, man."
Dew turns around when the spinning images stop on a blue symbol of tidal waves voicing his team attention, "Hey! The ocean!"
Neptune turns and sees the random pick for himself, eyes dilated at his goggles reflect the terrifying image, a slight whimper escaping him but then calms himself down, "Huh? Oh shit – no. I have trained for this… I won't be afraid…"
Sun patting his best friend Neptune on the shoulder making him catch his breath shaking Ruby on the stands see Neptune shaking with Blake voicing out his weakness, "Oh, no. Seems like Team SSSN is going to have some problems with Neptune weakness out. Maybe this fight won't be much after all. Easy win for Team JNPR."
Yang on the other hand sees Neptune regain his cool taking a bite of popcorn from the stands, "Hmm… I wouldn't be too sure Blake. Team SSSN and everyone have been fighting and training hard against us. Don't count them out just yet."
Team RWBY then become silent as they had their eyes on the arena battlefield seeing how things would go.
Jack Night readies his M.V.S. in hand with each of his teammates having their weapons ready along with Team SSSN doing the same with Jack talking to Sun with a smile on his face, "Ok Sun. May the best team win."
Sun smirks at this nodding in agreement accepting the sportsmanship, "Agreed friend. Hopefully whoever wins nothing bad between us. Kay dude?"
Jack knowing Suns' personality immediately agreed with a nod just as each team readies their poses, a circle of holographic roulettes comes to an end with a dessert and ocean like areas behind them each waiting for the intercom system to give out the call to attack.
Oobleck soon speaks out from the intercom system giving the teams the go ahead to attack immediately, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
As soon as the word is said, Neptune soon began to back tread to the ocean area with Nora rushing after him directly, Sun rushes towards Jack, Pyrrha against Sage with sword and spear clashing causing sparks, and Ren going close against Scarlet with his twin weapons against his cutlass weapon mechas.

~Jack POV~
*Clang*
Clashing my M.V.S. at Sun's Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang in it's staff form I focused on fighting Sun with everyone is busy dealing with their own opponents.
With our weapons clashing I push a bit forward forcing Sun pushed backed with surprise on his face speaking out, "Dude how strong are you really!"
Smirking at his surprise while placing one more step forward causing Sun to have one step replying to Sun, "Just strong enough!"
However, Sun gives me a deadpan stare at it responding in a dry tone, "Really? Sounds really cheesy dude."
Returning the deadpan stare I respond with a neutral expression on my face to match my tone, "Fair enough."
*Woosh*
Letting go of my sword and returning it inside <Deep Pockets> catching Sun by surprise with a bear hug with him struggling shouting out loud, "Dude! I will get out of this bear hug and you can't stop me!"
*Shiii*
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BAM*
Responding to that Sun began to use his Semblance <Via Sun> bringing out clones coming at me beginning to use their weapons attacking me and made me use my aura to take the brunt of the damage.
Still hurts…
Nah.
All these punches are now like pushes to me now.
Got to thank my <Physical Endurance> taking the beating since I leveled up to Level 78 with me taking a beating from my very own clones.
Fuck at this point I might as well be an immortal juggernaut.
The immovable wall so to speak.
Listening over to the intercom system of Port talking about the fight happening right now, "Ha! It seems like Sun used his Semblance <Via Sun> to create clones and attack sir Jack Nights from all directions! But the young man is taking it all like a champ keeping his prey where he wants it to stay!"
Oobleck soon commented on by my bear hug tactic keeping Sun in place not relenting one bit speculating the situation, "Very true my dear friend! However, it seems like Sun's clones aren't doing much damage but at least is damaging against the Leader of Team JNPR. But one has to wonder what this bear hug tactic is all about?"
Oh, they will soon learn enough.
Quickly using <Aura Siphon> on Sun beginning to drain his Aura into my own recovering my lost AP I took from Sun clones beating me up while I take it like a champ.
The pain is there but not as bad as before though considering how all I need to win is by draining his aura dry adding to my own or quickly recover my own Aura pool.
While Sun was struggling a bit, he soon began to get tired more noticeable with Port voicing out on the aura screen happening, "What's this! It seems like Sun's aura is being drained!"
"What!"
Sun eyes widen turning his eyes towards the screen seeing his own aura points being drained while Oobleck finally pieced together of keeping Sun in place, "I see now. It seems like thanks to Jack's Semblance <Fusion> copy or fuse more skills including Semblance in that list. It looks like Jack managed to copy or fuse this skill of a Semblance able to not only absorb aura but also uses it to stack on his own. Truly a very powerful opponent to be facing against the leader of Team JNPR."
Sun getting the idea right away tries even harder to get away from me when he heard and seen what my <Aura Siphon> could do to him while I drain him dry of his aura and not before too long Sun was the first to be taken out with his Aura level reaching to the red on the team display.
*BEEP*
Hearing a loud beeping sound from the intercom system letting go of Sun as he scratches his head with Port speaking, "And like that the fight between leaders if one could call that a fight more like bullying has been eliminated by aura level."
Sun sighs losing badly while taking the moment to leave with me returning my attention towards the rest of my team getting myself ready –
*SPLASH*
*BEEP*
However, I soon heard a splashing sound with a pillar of water shooting off soon enough catching me off guard with what Oobleck spoke out surprised, "And we have a ringout with Nora Valkyrie taken out by Neptune using his family Semblance of <Water Attraction>. Truly Neptune is taking the most he can of this situation."
Oh…
My eyes blinking surprise by this I turn my attention to Neptune soon helping Scarlet using water tendrils against Ren with me smirking seeing Neptune getting his use of Semblance like this.
Maybe not his best but at least his changed with him fighting now using his Semblance.
Hopefully the battle of Beacon will be different this time around.
Still… I have a tournament to win.
Time to start winning.
