"Oh ho! It seems that we have another astonishing bout ahead of us! Wouldn't you agree, Professor?"

"Doctor. 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!"

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

The air shook from the force of the cheer that went up, the sound echoing through the city below and even into the surrounding forests. As the roar died down Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao-Long sat back down in their seats in the lower tiers of the coliseum stands, close to the action. While the black and yellow members of team RWBY looked ecstatic and engaged in the fight, their young team leader was more muted in her excitement and attention.

"Come on Rubes," Yang said nudging her little sister. "Isn't this awesome?"

"Yeah, they're really good out there," Ruby replied offering a weak smile. "It's just, I feel like we were the ones that should have been out there, showing the world what we can do."

Yang and Blake shared a look, and their eagerness faded from their faces. They too felt like they should have had boots on the area ground kicking ass and taking names rather than sitting here spectating. They were both disappointed they couldn't compete at all, but with the restrictions on Ruby at the moment, and, Weiss.

"We'll get our chance Rubes," Yang said with a dejected stare as she and Blake looked back to the arena; their faces immediately turned back to excitement as the whole crowd winced and cringed from a blow far below.

"Ahh, and why would they? Now, let's get back to the match between Team APCS of Beacon, and Team ABRN, of Haven."

And I couldn't resist having a crack at volume three. This is the sequel to the Bloodied Thirty Pieces, exploring what happens at the festival with Pyrrha's death, Ruby's condition, a disappearance and with my OC's added into the mix. I will warn you, much like volume three changed and shocked, this story will remain roughly the same until a point. Then the whole house of cards explodes.

So, stay tuned, keep an eye out, and hopefully i'll gave this next adventure out soon.

Thanks for reading.

Bye, for the last time with this piece.
