Hello everyone. Now, this isn't the Winter battle. It's not coming. Sorry, but, we can't get the words right on paper, so we're switching it up a bit with Qrow.

J: And we thought, hey, why not share some of the battle with you guys. As well as a preview of another scene later in the story.

Also, remember that we mentioned before that we entered Canderous in a Fic where he's going to battle another OC? Well, MeteoriteCreature, Author of Battle Between Two, messaged me saying that Canderous is up next.

J: We don't really know who he'll be fighting, but hey, a good fight is good I guess.

So, preview time!

A Qrow Strikes

Qrow was running across the building tops, Canderous on the other side of the street, on top of that side's building as well. They were firing at each other, the bullets hitting each other in mid air as they erupted in fire. Growling, Canderous reached his left hand behind the right side of his jacket. He pulled out a second identical pistol, and aimed it at Qrow, firing both as he tried to dodge and shoot back at him. He got hit once or twice, but he eventually stopped in place to switch to his great sword, and started blocking the incoming bullets. Canderous stopped as well as he continued his volley.

Suddenly, Qrow descended into his shadow. Literally. He became one with it, as it started traveling towards Canderous, who paused momentarily due to the change. He resumed when he noticed it getting closer to him, and started shooting at it, missing as it edged closer to him. It reached up to arms length when Qrow sprang out from the shadow, sword raised upwards to cut him down the middle. Canderous jumped back to avoid the slash as it cost some of the building to crack under him. He aimed one of his pistols back at Qrow and started firing, only for Qrow to slice through them as he neared Canderous. Pulling out

Canderous narrowly ducked under the sword as he straightened himself out and nailed Qrow across the face with one of his guns physically. Qrow slightly flinched as he took a step back, only to stop while Canderous put some distance between them on top of the abandoned, torn and worn down building. Qrow turned his head back to him, with a glint in his eye. Canderous looked confused at the sudden change, before Qrow raised his sword upwards and brought it back down on top of the building, causing cracks. Canderous's eyes widened as Qrow turned back into his shadow and escaped as the building started to crumble. Canderous started to move so he could get off before it crumbled, only to be a second late as the floor gave away, taking him down with the building.

"So, enough games already, Qrow." Canderous said, smirking. "What do you say we kick this up a notch?"

He clicked a button on each of the pistols as gears were heard turning. The barrel of the pistol started moving upwards until both of the pistols were turned into metallic cylindrical sticks. He stuck the ends that were the butt of the pistols together and twisted it to make one single stick looking object.

Qrow just smiled as he started transforming his sword into his main weapon. The sword started to curve into an eclipse style blade. The blades started to turn as well so that the ending result of the transformation was a scythe.

"I'd say you'll need a lot more that some metal stick," Qrow said as the scythe extend outwards to complete the transformation. "If you want to take me on."

Canderous smirked as he placed both of his hands on it as if he was holding a staff.

"That would be true..." He said as he press two different buttons than from before, causing two yellow beams of light to extend from both ends. At the hilt of both blades, there was lightning erupting sporadically. "But this ain't your average weapon, old man."

Qrow and Canderous both dropped their smirks as they started moving in one giant circle, keeping eye contact and waiting for the right opportunity. This time, Canderous made the first move, dashing quickly towards Qrow and tried a quick slash to the chest. React quickly, he brought down his weapon to intercept his blade as both blades clashed. Qrow pushed the blade back and tried for a downward stab, only for Canderous to move to his right and slam the lightsword onto his abdomen. The result was Qrow getting knocked backwards with a mild shock to his system from where he was hit.

"Shocking, isn't it?" Canderous said jokingly.

Beacon Rumble

Canderous looked around at his surroundings and took a sour look. Team JNPR, the rest of Yang's team, and that Penny girl from the tournament had him surrounded. And they all had their weapons drawn, pointed at him.

"... So much for avoiding violence..." He muttered as he glanced at all of them.

"You killed Yang... You killed my sister... You... You..." Ruby started to say as Canderous looked indifferent.

"I won't defend myself, it'll just give you way to much info." He said as he crossed his arms. "But there's a lot more to this then you think. You think she broke Mercury's leg just for kicks and giggles? There's a bigger fish out there than me."

"Then why kill her?" Ren asked as Canderous shook his head.

"Nope, too much info again." He said as he took a serious expression, causing them all to be on guard. "No matter what I say, you'll just attack me from here, so let's go straight to the point."

He turned his attention to Pyrrha, and grinned a bit.

"But first, do me a favor, Pyrrha." Canderous said as she narrowed his eyes. "Tell Ozzy that he better be sure he's protecting Amber properly, that fish I mentioned earlier has her eyes set on her."

Her eyes widened as Canderous sprung, dodging the fire from multiple guns.

V + J's Box of Author's Notes

Welcome to the box! Now, we are sorry we haven't been updating this Fic as much, and we probably won't be able to as much.

J: Let's just say, a drunken night between me and Vin has lead to me being pregnant, and now we have to deal with this.

We'll try to get the battle out soon, but no promises.
