Russel Thrush, his weapon, Shortwings in hand, is running from the mayhem before spinning around, ready to face his opponents, who turns out to be the familiar face of Penny and her beret-wearing teammate. With an ever-present smile and simple arm movements, she summons six floating swords from Floating Array and rears them back before launching them in a ring at Russel, who barely manages to duck behind a rock to protect himself.
Wasting no time, Penny does the same thing with another group of blades, homing in on the other CRDL teammate Sky Lark until he uses Feather's Edge to vault over another stone for defense. The two exchange a worried look at the sight of their rocks still pierced with multiple blades, and Penny grins in combat-ready fierceness as she looks to her partner, who simply taps her watch as if hurrying Penny up. Wasting no time, Penny raises her hands like a puppetmaster and uses 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 come crashing to the ground as well, leaving Penny's opponents in the grass. Her swords come back to her pack as the buzzer rings.

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

Penny: "Thank you for a wonderful time"

The two victors turn to leave the stadium as Russel feebly reaches out, only to get hit in the head by an errant stone.

In the stands, we see y/n drinking a good 'ol smoothie. He notices Ruby getting up and walking away, he presumed to congratulate penny. He then turns to yang, seeing her also get up from her seat, along with Weiss

Y/n: "right, your guy's match is up next, good luck you two!"

Yang: "with you cheering me on? I'll be sure to give it my all! Gotta look good for my boyfriend, am I right?"

Weiss: "oh hush you two. Yang, we have to get ready, our match is in-"

Port: "Our next match will begin in 15 minutes!"

Yang: "...oh alright, fine. But first"

She smirks to y/n, who rolls his eyes and gave her a quick peck on the cheek

Yang: "thank you!~"

Before yang could say another word, Weiss grabs her by the back of her shirt, and drags her away, which did get a chuckle from the alien watch wearing boy. Ruby eventually came back, as the match was about to begin.

Y/n: "kick butt yang!"

Down in the arena, yang and Weiss are standing next to each other, chatting while waiting for the opposing team.

Yang: "Well, now it's our turn!"

Weiss: "Just remember to keep proper form"

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

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 zooms 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.

Weiss: "…Or whatever they are"

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