I LIVE! After over a year I have a new chapter for this story. Sorry for the wait but life has been crazy and I kept rewriting the fight scene over and over and over. Also other stories pulled my interest. I had to deal with another hurricane, and I was hunting for a new job. I got the job and am now moved into my new place so I hope to be able to write more!

Now onto the show!

The thudding of the heavy music shook through the crowd as the club owner known only as "Junior" idly wiped a glass dry behind the bar. The summer holiday season was coming to an end, lots of people were flocking to the bars for one last hurrah before the end of the summer.

A slight ring at the bar alerted him to newcomers entering. A lot of his customers loved to make an entrance and he facilitated that with lights and a screen in the entryway into the club. It also kept up the club's mystique. He looked up to the entryway and he froze as he saw two familiar silhouettes walking towards the main club.

The sight of a familiar mane beside a cloaked figure caused him to flashback to nearly 20 years ago when a pair of young huntresses in training first walked into his bar.

Flashback

"Come on Raven!" Said the excitable Summer Rose as she tugged at her grouchy partner.

"I don't see why we have to do this." Raven complained as she 'let' Summer drag her into the bar. Team STRQ had just finished their first full year at Beacon and Summer decided that She and Raven had to have a "Girl's Night."

The music was loud and there were bright lights flashing. Both young women were wearing their typical combat gear, Raven admitted she had no other clothes, but they still looked good. The bouncers at the bar watched her warily as she did still have Omen strapped to her side. They nearly didn't even let the two girls in, but a flash on their Beacon IDs and the men in black and red suits backed off. At least a little.

This past year for Raven had been a rough one. Dealing with so many new people and being on a team was jarring for her and her brother. Tai was a bruiser with such a sunny disposition it was both refreshing and disgusting to the black haired bandit. For some reason Tai and Qrow got along right out of the gate, sharing sarcastic quips and jokes as they banter during a fight. Qrow basically decided to abandon their original mission right away and threw himself into being a real huntsman.

Raven and Summer however were somewhat more rocky at first. Much like her name Summer had a warm smile and an outgoing personality. The only thing the two girls had in common was their favorite colors being red and black. But even then Summer off set it with that white cloak of hers that never seemed to get dirty.

Summer had gotten it into her head that she and Raven were going to be best friend forever. Raven snarled and spat at the idea when they were partnered up in the Emerald Forest Initiation. The ebony haired bandit was sure the bubbly airhead that was her partner would not even survive through the forest.

She was so wrong. Summer tore through the Grimm like a whirlwind of blades.

The two did eventually become closer and fought side by side better than just about everyone else, better even than her and her twin brother.

Summer still wanted the two of them to be friends and would drag Raven out to places. To lunch, the movies, shopping, and in the case of this night, a club.

And so the pair danced and drank the night away. Or that was the plan until some guy decided to get a little too fresh with the Raven. Chaos has ensued and the club was all but wrecked when the pair tore through the body guards of some mafia type punk who Raven slapped after he grabbed her ass.

The bouncers then came to try and break up the fight but just added more fodder as the Huntresses had a different kind of fun.

Needless to say they were told never to come back to that club again.

Flashback End

Junior shivered as he remembered that day and reached for the gun he kept beneath the bar. Just as his hand wrapped around the grip the screen doors parted and revealed…. Not the two he feared… but damn if they didn't look just like them.

"Yang! Can't we just go home!" Complained Ruby, her older sister dragging her into the club even as she maintained her own sexy strut.

"Ruby we are in Vale and we definitely have a reason to celebrate. Come on sis lets live it up!" Yang smirked as she took in the lights and music of the club.

Ruby sighs and turns to her sister. "Okay fine. But we have to be back on time or Auntie will be mad. I mean I think I am already in trouble for missing curfew yesterday."

The pair approached the bar, Yang with a wide smile and a sashay to her hips while Ruby just huffed and casually strolled behind her sister.

Leaning up against the bar Yang looks right at Junior. "Get me a Strawberry Sunrise." She says with a wink.

Junior cocks his head to one side and turns to Ruby.

"Uhh, cranberry juice?" The younger girl says hesitantly. What is she supposed to order, she is 15 years old! 'At least I didn't ask for milk.' Ruby thinks to herself.

Junior nods, pours Ruby her juice with some ice and a lime wheel for a garnish before getting to work on Yang's drink. He of course leaves out the alcohol in the sunrise, didn't want a repeat of the last time he served booze to girls who looked eerily similar to these two.

Just as the girls turn around from the bar with drinks in hand they are approached by a pair of twins dressed in red and white.

"It is not often we see new faces around here. Right Melanie?" The one in red says.

"Right you are Militia. Though that one looks like she is barely out of grade school." the white girl, Melanie, says with a snort towards Ruby.

Yang rests her free hand on Eclipse's hilt as she takes a sip of her drink. Noticing the lack of alcohol she sends a quick look to the bartender who has turned away working on something else. Turning back to the twins she gives them a smirk. "For your information the two of us are heading to Beacon in a few days. Genuine Huntresses in training."

"Oh so you are going to Beacon huh?" Says Militia striding to one side while her sister took the other.

"Their standards must have really lowered since we were there." Melanie finishes.

"You mean since you two dropped out." Junior says from the bar barely loud enough for the others to hear. The Malachite Twins were great bodyguards and bouncers for the club but when they got bored they tended to create their own fun…. And it wasn't always the best for business.

Yang smirked and laughed at that, much to the annoyance of the twins.

Melanie glared at Yang. "Well then blondey lets see if you really are as good as you think."

Ruby and Junior both had the same look in their eyes at that. A look that said "are they really going to do this?"

"Well then I guess that leaves the little school girl to me then." Militia says as she turns to Ruby.

Yang downs the rest of her drink and tosses the glass over her shoulder.

"Yang I don't think we should.."

Ruby never got to finish her sentence as the glass shatters on the ground acting as some sort of starter signal and both twins lashed out with vicious kicks.

Yang brings up her free hand, Ember Celica whirling to life expanding to its full size on her arm, to block the kick from Melanie.

Ruby meanwhile dodges out of the way with a quick burst of her semblance. Though Militia is quick with a followup to separate her from her older sister.

With her other hand Yang pulls Eclipse out of its sheath while simultaneously activating the other half of Ember Celica. She makes for a quick slash across Melanie's body but the older woman flips backwards to avoid it.

Shifting Eclipse into a reverse grip Yang enters a fighting pose before rocketing at her opponent.

Once again Melanie lashes out with another kick but this time her weapons, a set of bladed shoes, were fully deployed. Yang counters with a hard block from Eclipse, redirecting the kick and hoping to send the older woman flying.

Melanie just rolls with the force of the blow, flipping around before landing on her hands in a handstand and attempting to catch her opponent off guard with a sudden attack, keeping the offensive pressure up.

Unfortunately she did not anticipate the peppering of shotgun pellets that were making a b-line right for her torso.

Yang just smirked as she made to attack with Omen right as the shotgun blast from Ember was about to land. It was a difficult move to pull off, but one that took down a lot of her opponents when she fought in tournaments.

The attack didn't land but Yang continues to press, switching grips on her sword and uning Ember Celica to both keep her opponent off balance and for quick maneuvers when Melania over extended herself in an attempt to counter attack.

Melania felt anger and frustration bubbling up as she could not land a single decent blow on the blonde. At best she was able to get a glancing blow that her opponent blocked. But after each hit the blonde seemed to only get stronger.

Yang smirked as she blocked another kick and batted the woman away. "Time to end this I guess," she says sheathing Oman before taking a new fighting stance as if she were about to draw it again.

"What? Think you don't need your sword to beat me?" Melania spat out in frustration.

"Why don't you come over here and find out." Yang smirks as the white clad woman charges her. Before Melania can even get within striking distance of the blonde, Yang's eyes go red and she pulls the trigger on her scabbard as she draws her blade and an intense wave of fire lashes out to meet the older woman. The blaze forces Melania to stumble just long enough for Yang to land a massive hook sending her crashing into a wall.

Meanwhile

Ruby keeps dodging claw swipes from Militia with short busts of her semblance, leaving a trail of rose petals around the club. "Can we just talk about this?" She says between bursts. "I really don't want to fight."

"Yeah well short stuff I have been itching for some action." Militia responds with another hard swipe, however this time the smaller girl doesn't dodge but rather blocks the attack

Ruby's eyes harden as Crescent Rose expands to its full form as it blocks the incoming attack. With a twirl of the great scythe Ruby deflects the stalled attack and counters with a powerful kick before twirling around her weapon again bringing it to bear right down on her opponent.

"Why you little." Militia barely had time to growl out as she flipped away from the scythe's blade only to have several throwing knives hit her, bouncing off her aura but still stinging like hell.

After her counterattack Ruby continues to press the advantage zipping around and sweeping her opponents legs with her scythe.

Militia skips around the blade of the scythe but is unable to get her balance back as Ruby continues her fast and brutal attack. Swings of the scythe blade, blunt attacks from kicks and the pole of the scythe, and the occasional barrage of throwing knives leave the older woman desperately trying to catch her breath. The sheer speed and erratic movements of her opponent keeping her from getting into any kind of rhythm.

Then Militia makes the one mistake that cost her the fight. She gives up on defence and tries to go all offence to turn the tide of the fight. Normally this would be a decent idea but when she over extended herself Ruby smashed her with the head of her scythe sending the woman flying.

Both women smashed into the DJ booth above the bar causing the music to cut out and all the lights to flicker. Junior had ducked to avoid the shards of shattered glass and was just about to pull out his handy dandy rocket launcher to blow these girls away when a swirling vortex opened up in the middle of the club.

"You know you girls were supposed to check in if you were going to be late." Raven says as she steps out of the portal.

"Sorry mom/auntie." Yang and Ruby reply as they put their weapons away.

Hearing that Junior's arms go limp as he drops his weapon just in time for Raven to glance his way. "Just…. Just leave… Please." he says not wanting any part of this anymore.

As the girls leave through the portal Junior rubs his temples trying to supress the headache that was building. He takes a deep breath before turning a glare towards the twins who had just extracted themselves from the rubble. "You two are paying for all of this." he says to the twin's dismay.
