Yang woke up before the rest of his team. He yawned and looked out the window to watch as the sun rose over the cliffs at Beacon Academy. Despite his actions toward others, he did enjoy the quiet moments like this. His scroll's text tone rang out. He looked at the text to find a message from one of his friends. It said that the club "Junior's" had recently reopened and was having a special event to celebrate. Yang couldn't help but grin as he remembered his outing at the club before Beacon. He decided to go to the event and have a bit of fun. Yang put on his usual combat outfit and made his way to Junior's.

When he arrived, the bouncer nearly had a heart attack. "W-w-w-what are you doing here?"

Yang folded his arms and smirked. "What? I'm not allowed to visit a club for fun?"

"Uh… sure. I-I guess. Just… don't break anything. Please."

Yang walked passed him and waved. "No promises."

The club was finally back in order. The windows were fixed. The dance floor was back to normal. Everything seemed right as rain. The head of the bar was behind the counter as usual, working as the bartender. Yang walked up to the bar and gave a salute to a peace sign. "'sup Junior?"

"Don't call me that you blonde brute." This was Hei Xiong II. He hates it when you call him Junior, though. "What do you want this time?"

"Seriously, Junior, lighten up."

"I swear to Oum. You call me that one more time and you'll go the way my dad went."

"Yikes. Okay I get it. Call you that again and you'll string me up by my intestines… that about right?"

"And it'll hurt the whole time. Now, I'll ask again. What do you want this time?"

"I decided to stop by and enjoy the club."

"Bullshit."

"No. Really. That's why I'm here."

"Alright, but if you break something again I will make you pay for it."

"Don't worry. If something breaks today, it won't be because of me."

"I'll believe it when I see it."

A new voice entered the conversation. "Well, now. What have we here?"

Yang turned to see a young man that was all too familiar. "Hello… Neptune."

Neptune Vasilias. Yang met him back in combat school. The blue haired son of a bitch was a powerhouse, and it irritated Yang that he always lost to Neptune. "Trying to drink away the memories of your losses? Little young for that, don't you think?"

Yang was getting mad. He clenched the glass he was given and spoke through his teeth. "Don't need to. I don't bother to remember the bullshit."

"You only say that because I always kicked your ass."

Yang's anger boiled over and he crushed the glass in his hand, his aura preventing damage. "You want to go?!"

Neptune just smiled. "Bring it."

Hei put his arm between them. "Not here. You want to fight, take it somewhere else."

Neptune looked over to Hei. "Don't you own an underground fighting ring?"

Hei grabbed Neptune by his collar. "Why the hell are mentioning that here, dumbass?"

"Can we use it or not?"

Hei let him down and took a deep breath. "Fine. But if either of you blab about it to anyone: I will find out, I will hunt you down, and I will make you both wish you never born. Get it?"

"Got it."

"Good. Warehouse 7 in west Vale. Now, get out! Oh, and that glass will be 30 lien."

Yang looked at the shattered remains of the glass and paid out of pocket for the broken cup. With that, he left the club and made his way to the warehouse and the place he would finally beat Neptune.

When Yang arrived at the warehouse, he walked in to find a large crowd of people surrounding a cage. They were cheering a match in the cage between two large men. Yang had to admit… he was not expecting this.

Neptune, who was leaning on the wall by the door, smirked. "We're up next. You don't mind a crowd, do you?"

Yang smirked back. "Just means all these people will watch me kick your ass."

"Keep telling yourself that."

The two walked to the cage and waited. When the match ended, they made their way inside. Yang kept his normal combat attire. Neptune decided to follow the theme and entered the ring shirtless and with bandages around his wrists; showing his tattoo, a trident along his spine accompanied by a series of chains radiating out around his arms and body.

Yang rolled his eyes and equipped his brass knuckles. "Well? You ready?"

Neptune laughed. "Always. But we have to wait for the people to make their bets."

Neptune was correct about that. The people outside were placing their bets about who would win the fight. The general consensus was that Yang would win, but it was fairly even overall. The betting stopped the bell was rung.

Yang dropped, ready for a fight. "Alright. Now, I kick your ass."

"Hold on."

"What now? They rung the bell!"

"I know. But I feel like making this as clear as possible. Free shot. I want you to hit me as hard as you can."

"Oh?"

"Now hold on. You might have misheard me. Not 'half as hard,' not some arbitrary percentage. I want you to hit me as hard as you can."

Yang smirked. "And if I don't play along?"

"Then I guess your uncle was right about you."

That pushed Yang over the edge. He charged forward and brought his fist to Neptune's jaw. It stopped and seemed to do very little. "Wha…?"

"Consider that nerve touched."

"How?!"

"Simple. I have a real control over my semblance now. You could do damage back then. But now…" He raised his hand and a cloud of moisture solidified above him to create a trident made of ice. He landed the attack on Yang's jaw, leaving a bruise. Yang was sent flying into the cage as a result. "Now, I know you suck with following directions. So, I'm going to give you one last chance. You. Me. Hard as you can. Are we clear?"

Yang was positively furious. "Crystal." He took a deep breath and pulled back his fist. He focused his aura into his hand. The increased pressure on his hand hurt like hell, but he was intent on putting Neptune down a notch. "Aura crush fist!" He charged forward.

"Oh how cute. He named it…" Yang was right in front of him in no time. It was here that he could practically feel the aura around Yang's hand. "Oh shit!"

Yang brought his hand to Neptune's jaw with enough force to shatter bone. Not break… shatter. Neptune went spinning and flying into the cage. On impact, he flew through the cage.

Yang paused a moment, Wait… What?

The Neptune that flew through did not disturb the cage. After a moment, he burst into water droplets.

"What?"

"Someone wasn't paying attention before." Neptune was leaning against the cage. He raised his hand and the air around Yang became humid.

Yang was having difficulty moving. The humidity was getting to him, and rather quickly. "Damn it!"

Neptune stood and folded his arms. "Your semblance… your heightened senses… it's a great thing until you realize that touch is a sense. You feel everything at a higher degree. You feel the pain more than others. I can use that by increasing the humidity around you and heating up the area. You feel the effects faster than others and the increase of one degree I set up would feel like some 25 to you. Now, I think we're done here."

Yang couldn't keep up much longer. He passed out from the heat caused by the humidity. He woke up a few minutes later in a room in the warehouse for injured fighters. "What happened?"

"I kicked your ass, again." Neptune was leaning against the wall.

Yang fell back. "Shit."

"To be fair, knowing your semblance while you didn't know mine did help. If I didn't have something set up for your attack, the situation would be reversed. We should do this again. It's always fun to spar with you, Xiao Long. Until next time." With that, Neptune left the area.

Yang laid their a few minutes before he was able to stand up again. He was still sore, but the heightened senses will do that after a fight. He eventually made his way back to Beacon. He met up with Blake, who looked like he went through a blender. "Do I even want to know?"

"Sun…"

"Ah…"

The two made their way back to their dorm room, where Ruby was waiting. "What happened to you guys?"

Yang walked over to the fridge they kept and pulled out an icepack. "I can tell you later."

Blake fell on his bed and passed out.

Weiss… huddled in a corner.

Ruby looked between her teammates before sighing. "Can't wait to hear this one…"
