Amity is still floating high amid the cheers of an excited audience as the two opposing pairs of partners for the match, the grinning Mercury and Emerald gainst a confident Coco and a meditating Yatsuhashi wait in the center of the stadium for the holographic roulette to pick the field.

"Emerald and Mercury of Haven versus Coco and Yatsuhashi of Beacon!" Port said over the speakers. Velvet cheered from the stands alongside Fox "Goodluck you two!"

Ruby say down shortly "Sorry I'm late. I was saying goodbye to (y/n)" velvet looked at her "Everything alright?" Ruby smiled "Oh yes. Everything is fine. (Y/n) just didn't want to be left alone with his mom" "Do they not get along?" Velvet asked "No. They are actually extremely alike. But I would say his mom is definitely more crazy than he is."

The Colosseum chooses four fields to rise up from below in quarter sections: A patch of tall grassy plains which has a single tree and some rocks; the ruins of a city, complete with buildings holding shattered windows and rubble among the pavement; a hot spring containing geyser spots along a small river and some blue Dust crystal growths; and a familiar section of dense forest.

"Hey! Love the outfit, kid!" CoCo says as she eyes emerald up and down "I'll try not to get blood on it." Emerald responds "I can't promise you'll leave without a scratch." Yatsu says as he gets up and draws his massive sword

"I won't be the one bleeding." Emerald stretched her arm "Ooh, I like her!" CoCo said "Three, two, one, begin!" Port called.

Instead of charging forward, Mercury and Emerald slowly walk back into the tall grass and disappear behind the leaves. Coco and Yatsuhashi smile at each other before the leader pops out her Minigun and begins mowing down the field as the crowds of sunglasses-wearing fans roar their approval, even when bullets nearly hit them from the other side of the forcefield. Coco lets up as she and Yatsuhashi realize the two opponents aren't in the plains section anymore.

"Huh?" She mumbled "LOOK OUT!" Blake calls from her seat beside yang

Mercury drops from the sky, aiming for Coco, but Yatsuhashi pushes her out of the way and blocks mercury with his blade pushing him back. Coco opens fire at him again, though Mercury is able to outrun each shot.

"He's good!" Sun said "Yea but where's the girl?" Scarlet asked Mercury reaches the two and kicks away Coco's weapon while dodging Yatsuhashi's blade, then delivering a double blow to the giant warrior before jumping over Coco's continued barrage of bullets.

He lands on the barrels and kicks her in the face, leaping over another of Yatsuhashi's swings, only to let himself be hit so he can get behind Coco and force her to press the muzzle up to her own teammate.

Everyone stands still until Coco compresses her weapon back into its handbag form and tries to hit Mercury with Yatsuhashi, but he deftly jumps back and launches two blasts from his boots that the members of CVFY deflect.

Coco is unfazed by the one shot, but looks surprised at the dozens of them now spiraling around the handstand-spinning Mercury until he sends all of them at his enemies, a barrage of light and smoke surrounding them that provides the perfect cover for Mercury to appear behind the two.

He grabs the both of them by their arms and delivers a flurry of kicks that knocks them back, looking back as a chain comes out from the forest trees to wrap around Coco and pulls her back.

"COCO!!!" Yatsu shouts as he reaches for her. Despite his cry, Coco disappears into the trees, and he has to endure a blow from Mercury before being able to grab and throw him into the hot spring area.
