This Will be The Day: JJNPR

New Challengers

Third Person Point of View

Team JJNPR are readying themselves against their opponents in the Amity Colosseum, the mountains to their back and forest on the other side. A large holographic screen counts down with Peter Port over the crowd's cheering.

Port: 3... 2... 1...

Jaune raising his sword says. "Come on guys!"

Port: BEGIN!

All five members of JJNPR charge forward, but only three fighters from BRNZ do the same; the beanie-wearing May Zedong turns around and heads into the trees, cocking her weapon. In the center of the field, leader Brawnz Ni delivers a knee kick to Pyrrha Nikos' shield that sends her skidding back, right before she blocks the claws on his fists with her xiphos. She jerks her sword away and makes him leap back, Jewel Rose runs in puts both swords up and defends Pyrrha just as the sniper jumps up into the branches of the forest with the bladed butt of her sniper rifle. Lie Ren readies his StormFlower to attack Nolan Porfirio, who almost gets blindsided by Nora Valkyries swing with Magnhild before he ducks under the attack and attempts to hit her with his cattle prod. The sniper girl finally takes aim from her spot and manages to fire off two rounds near Ren, destroying the rocks behind him. Jaune manages to block the buzzsaw gloves of Roy Stallion with his own shield before he notices the bullets flying and sees the glint of the gun in the leaves.

Jaune wide-eyed and stumbling over his order. "R-R-Retreat!"

"What?" Jewel says still blocking Brawnz Ni

Ren glances back at their leader as a shot hits the ground by his feet. He and Nora start running back into the mountains as Jaune and Pyrrha cover their escape by blocking the bullets with their shields. The four leap over a rocky outcropping for cover. Jewel on the other hand pushes up her swords to knock off his balance and runs to join them.

"What do we do?" Pyrrha asks their leader.

Jaune looking over the edge to see the melee fighters closing in. "Spread out! Try to keep moving! Jewel get in a tree and try to block the shooter with your light!" Jewel nods and runs to a tree. The rest his team follows this just as Brawnz lands a punch on Jaune's shield.

Jewel starts running while blocking gun shots with her swords and starts to climb the tree. When she gets to the top she focuses her energy to get her light in the sharp shooters eyes. (Lance McClain is in RWBY?)

May gets even higher in the tree and smiles from behind her scope as she looks at the fight below. Brawnz and Pyrrha continue to duke it out while Nolan slowly advances on Ren when he slides into his path. The prod-wielding warrior looks back at the trees and nods to his hidden ally, who shoots at Ren's feet again and makes him jump around trying to dodge them. Just as he lands, Nolan hits him upside the head with his weapon and is able to miss the retaliatory kick with another blow to the knee and a final hit to the chest using the business end of his prod. Electricity shoots through Ren's body before he collapses to the ground beside his childhood friend.

"Ren!" Nora calls.

Scowling, Nora takes a swing at Nolan, who promptly dodges it and again unleashes his weapon's power into her corset, though this causes a quite different reaction from the grinning redhead.

Port: Oh-ho! Looks like one of my favorite students, Nora Valkyrie, is charging up to use her Semblance!

"What?" Nolan asks.

Oobleck: Yes, Ms. Valkyrie's Semblance lets her produce, as well as channel, electrical energy straight to her muscles! This allows her to jump explosively into the air, wield her mighty hammer, or in this case, absorb Nolan's attacks and send the young man flying!
