"Oni-Chan!" Aqua said cheerfully to her older brother Azura.

"Would you stop calling me that?" Azura asked with annoyance in his voice.

"But you're my Oni-Chan aren't you Oni-Chan?" Aqua asked hugging her brother.

Azura and Aqua were siblings and were currently at the library returning books that they had checked out a few weeks ago. Azura was currently 8 years of age has beautiful azure blue hair, icy blue eyes, and white dove wings on his back which he inherited from his mother. Azura wore a blue and silver colored wind breaker jacket with a grey T-shirt, black cargo pants, and black and red tennis shoes. Aqua was 6 years of age, had pretty blue hair, blue eyes, and blue Blue-Jay wings on her back which she inherited from her father. Aqua wore a baby blue T-shirt and a blue skirt with navy blue leggings and baby blue tennis shoes; she and Azura are both bird Faunus.

Azura ignored his sister and returned his book to the librarian then stepped aside so Aqua could check out another book. Aqua read a lot, way more then her older brother, which is how she learned the word, Oni-Chan, which means Older Brother in Japanese. Azura however looked up the word sister in Japanese and plans on giving Aqua a taste of her own medicine if she calls him Oni-Chan again.

Aqua and Azura left the library and went to a Ice Cream café that was across the street to get some snow cones taking a seat in the dining room to enjoy their snow cones.

"So, what did Oni-Chan check out today?" Aqua asked.

"A book about Japanese Martial Arts, Nee-San." Azura replied.

Aqua looked at older brother who cracked a smile, Nee-San meant sister in Japanese, maybe she'll know better not call him Oni-Chan anymore.

"Did you just call me sister in Japanese!?" Aqua asked cheerfully.

"Hai." Azura replied as he ate a scoop of his snow cone.

Azura expected Aqua to get upset like he does when Aqua calls him Oni-Chan, but instead she got happy and excited.

"Oni-Chan is learning Japanese!" Aqua said happily. "Say it again!"

"No." Azura replied in annoyance.

"Please?"

"No."

"Pretty please?"

"Shut up."

"It's cute how you act so Tsundere Oni-Chan." Aqua said laughing.

"Hmph, I'm not Tsundere, you're just annoying." Azure replied eating his snow cone.

"Hee hee, that's what Tsunderes say." Aqua said teasing.

"Oh shut up." Azura replied getting up to leave, Aqua followed him as they ate their snow cones. As they walked outside, Azura pulled his hood over his head to shield himself from the sun, he was sensitive to the sun's heat and tended to sun burn more easily than most kids.

"So, why did you check out that book Oni-Chan?" Aqua asked looking at the book Azura checked out.

A few months ago while Azura was taking Aqua to the library he found a book about a group of warrior known as, The Shinobi. He was fascinated with their legends and decided to try and learn their ways and methods, although many of them were lost and/or forgotten like the Shinobi themselves, some of their arts were still recorded.

"Thought I'd learn how to fight like a Shinobi." Azura replied taking out the book and opening it to the table of contents.

"So you did enjoy that book. What do plan on learning first?" Aqua asked peeking at the table of contents.

Azura looked over the many kinds of martial arts listed and the brief summaries of what they were about.

"I think I'll start with Bojutsu." Azura replied as he read over the summary of Bojutsu.

"Cool, think you can teach me too?" Aqua asked.

"You want to learn martial arts?" Azura asked.

"Yeah, it sounds fun!" Aqua replied.

"Hmm, sure, just give me some time to learn this stuff, I won't be able to teach you if I don't know how to do it myself." Azura replied as he opened the book which had a tip on the first page saying, "Be as silent as the Winter White, as swift as the Coursing River, as strong as the Raging Fire, as deadly as the Great Typhoon, and mysterious as the Moon." Azura and Aqua picked up a few groceries that their mother requested at the market and headed home together, they lived in a beach house along the coastline of Vale, Aqua loved the smell of the sea water and the beautiful view of the sea.

"Mommy, can I go play in the water?" Aqua asked her mother as she and Azura set the groceries on the kitchen counter.

"Sure sweety, just make sure you shower after you're done." Their mother, Kei, replied.

"Okay, mommy." Aqua said cheerfully as she ran to go change.

Azura sat down in the porch under the shade of the deck umbrella as he read his new book, his father, Hinto was there preparing the grill to cook dinner.

"Whatcha got there kiddo?" Hinto asked notcing Azura sitting at the table behind him.

"A book on martial arts." Azura replied as he began to study Bojutsu.

"Planning on being a Huntsman?" Hinto asked.

"Maybe, I'm just studying because I find it's interesting." Azura replied.

"You know your uncle was a Huntsman, he got interested in martial arts around your age, and joined Beacon Academy when he got older." Hinto said.

"Work alongside repulsive humans? I'd rather bath in boiling oil." Azura replied.

"Not all humans are bad kiddo, there are some who get along pretty well with Faunus like us. Your uncle's team for example, he's the only Faunus on his team." Hinto said.

"Still doesn't change the fact that Nee-San was attacked by some dirt bags." Azura replied.

"You got to learn how to let things go kiddo, old buildings are torn down so that new, fresh ones can take their place." Hinto said.

Aqua came running out in her blue swim wear and ran out into the beach to play in the water.

"If I were to be a Huntsmen, I'd be calling my own shots, serving our people as I see best, I'll destroy what's evil, so that what's beautiful is not destroyed." Azura said.

"That's a powerful statement kiddo." Hinto said as he began to heat up the coals in the grill. "Just remember kiddo, follow your heart, just make sure that you don't go down a destructive path, make that the path you follow, is a path with a future."

"I will father." Azura replied as he returned to his reading.

Azura's uncle used to be a Huntsman, that is until he died, it was very sudden too, one day he was off on a routine mission like usual, only this time when he came back, he came back in a coffin; he left Hinto his sword in accordance to his last will. Remembering his brother's sword, Hinto went to go get it, he had no need for it, but maybe Azura does.

"Hey is there a martial art in there about sword fighting?" Hinto asked returning with Sento's Katana sword.

Azura looked through the book and found Kenjutsu and Ryoto-jutsu.

"Yeah, two of them." Azura replied.

"Here." Hinto said tossing Azura the weapon who caught it.

"Uncle Sento's sword?" he asked.

"It's yours now kiddo." Hinto said returning his attention to the grill.

"But father, this belongs to your brother, Uncle Sento." Azura said.

"Was my brother's sword, now it is yours. Take good care of it." Hinto replied.

Azura pulled the blade out of the sheath to see the shining blade within then sheathed it once more, "I will." he muttered as he set down next to him gently and continued to study.

Later Hinto and Kei finished making dinner and Aqua came back from the water having found a conch while swimming in the water. She liked to collect pretty sea shells and had a whole collection of them in her room on her book shelf. As the Marine family ate dinner Azura's mother, Kei, remembered something.

"Oh, Hinto, don't forget, Aqua's birthday is coming up." she said.

"Don't worry, I got something planned." Hinto replied.

"What is it?" Aqua asked.

"You'll see." Hinto replied.

Aqua was really curious to know what her father had in store for her, but she'll find out soon enough when her birthday comes around. Meanwhile Azura was wondering what he should get his little sister for her birthday, he know she loves to sea shells, should he get her a conch? No, she's got plenty of those, he needs get her something unique that she doesn't already have; but what?

One Week Later

"So Oni-Chan, what are we going to do today?" Aqua asked as Azura prepared to go out the door.

"Sorry Nee-San, I'm going out alone today." Azura replied.

"Aww." Aqua said pouting cutely.

"Don't worry, I'll be back." Azura said patting his little sister's head.

Azura went out the door and pulled his hood over his head and began to look for something to get for his little sister. He first went to the toy store to try and look for something, but found nothing Aqua would be interested in, she wasn't into LEGOs, Trains, or Bikes, and she didn't need a beach kit since she always had their mother's gardening tools to use to make sand castles. She wasn't into video games either, the only games she played was Minecraft, Kingdom Hearts and Prop Hunt, all of which they already owned.

Azura went to a plushie shop to see if he could get her something there and found stuffed bears, Dango plushies, and Grimm Plushies, but nothing that seemed to be of Aqua's interest.

He's spent three weeks looking for something to get her, and still he has found nothing, Azura was tempted to get her a Manga, but he got her that last time, it would unthoughtful and uncreative of him to get her the same gift two years in a row.

Azura strolled over to the market place, there was always such interesting things being sold there, just last week, he got himself a Bo-Staff so he can practice his Bojutsu at home. As he strolled through he saw a student from Beacon Academy working his hobby as a Gunsmith, his name was Jet Colt and he worked here as a Gunsmith for his fellow students and other Huntsmen as a hobby which also helped pay off his tuition. He had his collection of antique weaponry proudly on display on the wall behind him, some people will occasionally ask him about them and Jet would gladly explain the weapons' history to them; his favorite one was the Single Action Colt .45 which he had on a little mount on the counter next to him everyday when he was there.

As Azura strolled through the market place his attention was caught by something a Huntress was hosting a little game for children who wanted to become Huntsmen when they grew up, and she even had prizes for them to win. Azura walked over to watch and saw a kid armed with a pair of Eskrima Sticks fighting some Squishy Grimm. Azura watched as the kid slaughtered the little creatures using his sticks and feet to squish the Squishy which were being released in waves. Azure glanced at the Huntress hosting the game and looked at the prizes she was offering which were, Grimm Figurines, Grimm Plushies, Kendo Bokkens, and Hooded Cloaks.

The prize that caught Azura's eye, was the Cloaks, specifically the one that was Navy Blue and had dolphin shaped pins on the collar; Azura approached the Huntress to ask her about the game.

"Excuse me, ma'am?" Azura asked.

"Yes?  Are you here to test your skills on some Squishy Grimm?" the Huntress replied.

"Maybe, what's this game you're hosting?" Azura asked.

"It's quite simple, you get 90 seconds to kill as many Squishy Grimm as possible, kill 20 and you get to pick a plushie, kill 40 and you get to pick a figurine, 60 for a Cloak, and 100 for a Kendo Bokken." the women replied keeping her eye on the stop watch in her hand. "You game?"

Azura looked at the Squishy which were being slaughtered helpless, then at the cloak he wanted to get Aqua.

"Oh yeah, I'm game." Azura said taking out his Bo-Staff.

Azura waited patiently for his turn, when the kid before him had finished and claimed his prize, Azura stepped into the ring which still had a single Squishy hopping around; Azura kicked it aside, killing it and waited for the signal to begin.

"Go!"

Contest Music {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlYGdm2xhQI}

Four Squishy were dispensed from a machine and they began hopping towards Azura who did a basic Bojutsu spin as they hopped towards him, killing them like a bunch of flies flying into a spinning fan. The Huntress took notes of Azura's performance as the next wave was released, eight Squishy. Azura easily defeated them without breaking a sweat, and the next wave came in, 16 Squishy. Azura spun his staff swatting a few Squishy like flies in the wind, then struck, stomped, kicked, and thrusted his staff into the others, killing them with ease.

The Huntress glanced at her stop watch, there was still over 60 seconds to go, and already he's killed 28 Squishy, so far most of the participants had 40 seconds average by wave 4, but then again, the Squishy are a rather weak Grimm, so weak a child a could slay them; the Huntress continued to watch as Azura took on Wave 4, 32 Squishy. This is the Wave most of her participants struggle to get through, but with over 60 seconds to spare, Azura could advance to Wave 5 with around 20 - 30 seconds remaining.

Azura struck a Squishy that had attempted to pounce on him then did a round house swing kick to get a few more and spun his staff then did a type of somersault while spinning mid-air allowing him to take a few more Squishy beneath him as they hopped up and ran into his spinning staff. Azura landed a few more Squishy, killing them under his feet then proceeded to mow down the rest of the Squishy by spinning his staff, sweeping his feet, and striking with his staff. Wave 5 began, 64 Squishy! And he had just over 30 seconds left.

The Huntress was impressed with Azura's peformance, sure he was slaugtering weak and defensless Squishy, but he wasn't fatiguing like the other children were, and he displayed adequate training and skills in Bojutsu. Although this was an activity for children to enjoy, it was also something to help recruiters find potential students to enroll in their academy for Huntsmen and right now Azura was demonstrating the kind of performance she's looking for.

Azura continued to lay waste to the little Squishy that swarmed around him, squishing, stomping, swatting, and kicking the little creatures. With only just under 5 seconds left, Azura killed the last Squishy and won the contest.

"Well done, you just won by completing all 5 waves!  Come over and pick your prize!" the Huntress said.

Azura let out a deep breath as he walked over to collect his prize, that last wave took a little more effort to beat.

Passive Music {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gModJL6jakM}

"Wow, not bad kiddo, you got some skill." the Huntress said to Azura. "Go on, take your prize, you've earned it."

Azura grabbed one of the Navy blue cloaks which surprised the Huntress, she would've thought Azura would take a Kendo Bokken, after all he got more then enough points to earn it.

"You chose a cloak over a Bokken?" the Huntress asked.

"Yes, my sister's birthday is coming up, and this cloak seems to fit her kinda of style." Azura replied.

"Oh, that's very sweet of you, your sister must be lucky to have you as her brother." the Huntress said.

Azura went looking for a gift wrapping shop where he had Aqua's birthday gift wrapped up in a shiny blue wrapping and Navy blue bow; Aqua loved the color blue. Azura returned home where Aqua was feeding the seagulls, Azura quickly, but silently hid the gift in his room where she won't be able to find it, then went outside where Aqua was.

"Oni-Chan! You're back!" Aqua said happily. "Where did you go?"

"Getting you a birthday gift." Azura replied.

"Really!? Did you find anything?" Aqua asked cheerfully.

"No." Azura replied lying.

"Aww, that's okay Oni-Chan." Aqua said. "As long as you tried, that's all that matters." Aqua added giving Azura a hug.

"So ready to teach me kung fu!?" Aqua asked giving Azura a few soft punches to the arm.

"It's not Kung Fu, but yes, I'll show you a few things." Azura replied as they walked out onto the beach.

"We'll start with the round house kick." Azura said. "First raise your leg with your knee up to your chest then twist and lash out." Azura added as he demonstrated a round house kick for Aqua. Aqua followed and did the kick, performing quite well on her first try.

"Next, we have the front snap kick." Azura said demonstrating. Aqua followed and did it perfectly; the front snap kick was a rather easy kick to perform.

"This next one is bit more tricky to do, it's called a swing kick." Azura said as he demonstrated kicking up a little bit of sand in the process.

Aqua tried it, but failed and fell back bumping into her older brother who caught her.

"Here, try chaining it after a round house kick, it's easier that way." Azura said demonstrating for Aqua kicking up some more sand into the air in the process.

Aqua attempted it, and completed the swing kick, but it was sloppy and clumsy.

"Don't worry Nee-San, we'll work on it." Azura said.

Aqua and Azura spent the rest of the afternoon training working on the three kicks together slowly improving and perfecting their technique, as the sun began to descend they became shadow silhouettes dancing on the shoreline, their parents watching from the kitchen.

"They've got their uncle's fighting spirit." Hinto said.

"And their father's soul." Kei added.

"Think they'll become Huntsmen like their Sento?" Kei asked.

"I don't know." Hinto replied. "But what I do know, is that they're going to grow up to become something great."

One Week Later

Passive Music 2 {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V4-6WMRY8E}

A week has past since Azura and Aqua have begun training together and they were learning pretty fast, but they still have much to learn, they're just kids after all.

Aqua skipped as she ate a fruit cup along side her brother as he walked through Vale to get groceries for their parents whom.

"Kung Fu is fun Oni-Chan." Aqua said recalling their training together so far.

"Hmm, well that goes without argument." Azura replied as they came upon the market place again, Jet was at his shop doing his usual business as a Gunsmith; Azura stopped a fruit shop first. His family loved fruits and anything fruity in flavor, it ran in the family, Sento's favorite fruit was Watermelon, Hinto loved Plums, Kei loved Strawberries, Aqua loved grapes, and Azura loved Mangos.

Azura picked out the fruits their parents requested, and paid for them then moved onto get the next items on the shopping list. As they walked to the next shop Azura noticed the Huntress who was here last week was gone, but there was a single Squishy where the game once was, it was busy consuming an empty soda can someone tossed aside.

"Aww, look there's a Squishy there!" Aqua said noticing the little Grimm creature.

"Yeah I see it." Azura replied.

"Can we take it home?" Aqua asked.

"No, you know how they are, it'll just eat the TV, computer and phones." Azura replied.

"Aww, but it's so cute." Aqua said kneeling down to look at the Squishy which ignored her and continued to consume the can.

"Come on leave it alone." Azura said taking his sister to resume their shopping.

They continued on and got the rest of what was on their shopping list, Aqua helped carry them as they went to go home with the food. Along the way they came across the arcade where they decided to play some Galaga and Pac-Man for a bit using some of the spare change they got from their purchases. Their top scores were still there, Aqua - 28,950 and Azur - 28,350; Aqua was always better then him in video games.

"Ready to lose again Oni-Chan?" Aqua asked as she started up the Galaga game.

"Hmph, I've been practicing at home." Azura replied as he set their groceries next to the game machine.

Aqua completed the first three stages as easily as she usually does, she could probably complete them with her eyes closed, Azura could do the same, but there were times when he screwed up and lost a life on the second stage. They enjoyed themselves and played until stage 97 before going on to return home running into a pet store along the way giving away fish that people can capture. Aqua pestered Azura for her try and captured a pair of clown fish, the shop owners gave her a tank with little sea decorations inside to go with them. The tank proved quite useful as it helped carry all their stuff, Azura carried the tank which held some of the groceries and decorations while Aqua held a bag of groceries and the little baggy holding the little fish inside.

"Aww, they're so cute." Aqua said looking at them inside the baggy.

"You think everything is cute." Azura said.

"I don't think Grimm are cute." Aqua retorted.

"You wanted to bring a Squishy home as a pet." Azure said reminding Aqua of the Squishy they found.

"That's different, it's a Squishy, everyone knows they're cute." Aqua replied.

"Most people would view them as a nuisance." Azura said.

"Hmph, well I think they're cute." Aqua said.

"So then you think Grimm are cute?" Azura asked.

"No!  Just the Squishy." Aqua replied somewhat annoyed.

"Right~." Azura said teasing.

Aqua punched Azura in the arm, but Azura didn't flinch; she couldn't hurt him.

"Hey look." A voice familiar to Azura said who stopped to look in the direction the voice came from, and saw a group of three kids standing behind them. These were some neighborhood bullies that liked to pick on Aqua.

"It's the bird brains." the oldest of them said.

Aqua got behind her big brother who set down everything he was carrying behind him with Aqua and took a few steps forward.

"Didn't I beat your face into the cement last time?" Azura asked.

"Heh, that was then this is now, and besides, there's three of us and only one of you now." the boy replied as he and his friend held up wooden baseball bats.

"Hmph, there's no strength in numbers." Azura said taking out his Bo-Staff.

"We'll see about that pigeon!" the boy said he and his friends then rushed Azura to attack him.

Combat Music {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHZS-lyOnyg&nohtml5=False}

Azura didn't flinch and focused his Aura. After the last time this punk attacked Aqua, Azura had managed to unlock his Aura thanks to his desire to protect his little sister; he hasn't discovered his Semblance yet though.

Azura did a triple strike thrusting his staff into the left kid's eye, then swining the other end into the middle kid's head, and quickly following through with a round house swing kick to the right kid, striking all three of them with one swift combo strike. Azure kept the flow going by swinging his staff around over his head then striking the middle kid right in his back. He grunted in pain while clutching his back where was he was struck, while the left one charged Azura.

The left kid charged Azura blindly with seemingly no plan of attack or stradegy in mind. Azura simply jumped over him and swung his staff up and behind him slamming it down into his opponent's head as he turned around. The kid clutched his head and started whining pathetically as he fell back into a trash can, knocking it over.

Azura spun his staff around to intimadate the other two as they turned to face him again, they were clearly having second thought about combating him now, but he could see they were too prideful to turn and run away.

They both charged him and Azura focused his attention on their movements, using his staff to parry and block their attacks waiting for an opening for him to strike. Azura swung both ends of his staff at them to get them to step back a bit then went on the offensive and these punks sucked at defense.

Azura clashed his staff with his opponent's bat and moved it aside then thrusted his staff into the kid's forehead who stumbled back clutching his head. Azura turned his attention to the other kid who was currently swinging his bat at Azura's head. Azura acted quickly and broght his staff up to parry the attack then swung the other end of his weapon into the kid's head and followed through with a side kick then a rear horse kick, striking him in the gut with enough force to knock the wind out of the kid.

The kid fell to the ground gasping for air, then threw up on the ground and laid there.

"Lovely." Azura commented looking down on the boy.

The last one, the boy that was appeared to the ring leader, and the one who attacked Aqua last time got ready to take on Azura solo. Azura looked at his last opponent with a look confidence and fearlessness with his staff in his right hand. The kid raised his bat and stepped forward, and Azura responded by thrusting his staff into his opponent's belly, stunning him, then followed through by turning around and thrusting his staff into opponent's head as he turned back to face him again. The kid stumbled back with his hand on his head, and Azura swung the other end of his staff into his opponent's head, then followed by swing up and around, then down onto the top of his opponent's head causing him to fall to the ground holding his head in pain, whimpering pathetically.

"Hmph, do not provoke a Shinobi!" Azura said pointing his staff at the kid. "Come on Nee-San, let's go home."

Azura then walked off with his little sister back home, Aqua praising him for his performance.

The Next Day

Passive Music 3 {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrWF1VjNq68&nohtml5=False}

Azura stood upon some pillar in the water that used to be part of a dock that used to stand behind their house, it was destroyed when a Typhoon struck, and Hinto didn't feel like rebuilding it since they never used it. Azura was currently doing a Ninjutsu exercise that specialized around improving one's balance and focus, normally a beginner like him should be doing it on dry wooden stilts, but these pillars in the water was all he had which were much more difficult to balance on, and if made the mistake of falling he was going to hit some rocks down below, and that would hurt like hell.

"Oni-Chan?" Aqua asked startling Azura who almost lost his balance.

Azura slipped and did a back flip, landing on the pillar again on both his hands and fought to keep his balance; Aqua giggled at this.

"What is it Nee-San?" Azura asked somewhat annoyed.

"Whatcha doing?" Aqua asked.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" Azura replied.

"Something dangerous is what it looks like." Aqua said as Azura his feet back on the pillars.

"Yeah, and you shouldn't sneak up on someone doing something dangerous, you might cause an accident." Azura said.

"Why are you doing such a dangerous thing in the first place?" Aqua asked.

"It's a Ninjutsu exercise to improve one's balance, and concentration." Azura replied as he resumed his training.

"Shouldn't you be doing it on dry stilts?" Aqua asked.

"Yes, but we don't have those, so I'll just have to settle with these." Azura replied. "Besides, it forces me to learn faster, and perfect my skills better."

"More like get to the hospital faster." Aqua remarked.

"Success is learned through failure." Azura replied.

"Well why don't you train a more safe way?" Aqua asked.

"Like how?" Azura asked.

"Well why don't we spar?" Aqua asked.

Azura stopped and turned to face Aqua from where he stood.

"But you haven't unlocked your Aura yet." Azura said.

"Pfft, Aura's for sissy girls and their Barbie dolls." Aqua replied as she waved her hand down.

Azura laughed at Aqua's comment and made his way back to her, and jumped down to the sandy beach.

"You've been practicing?" Azura asked as he walked out in front of Aqua.

"Yep, I'm going to make you eat the sand." Aqua replied getting into a fighting stance.

"Oh we'll see about that." Azura said getting into his fighting stance.

Combat Music 2 {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkcUUxBoMDA&nohtml5=False}

The two bird Faunus began to circle each other looking for an opening in the other's defenses, Azura saw that Aqua wasn't light on her feet like he was, and was a bit slow. Azura did a runner kick causing Aqua to flinch and move the other way and run right into his other foot knocking her back.

"Ow, not so rought Oni-Chan!" Aqua said turning away holding her face in her hands.

"Sorry, you okay?" Azura asked approaching Aqua from behind.

Aqua then quickly did a side kick and struck Azura in the gut then attempted to follow through with a round house kick which Azura dodged, and stepped back.

"That's cheating." Azura said.

"But you fell for it." Aqua replied blowing a rasberry at him.

Azura then prepared to resume battle with Aqua who attempted a round kick, but it was too slow and Azura caught it then swept out her other leg, causing her to fall back on the sandy ground flat on her back. Azura got back and Aqua jumped back up to her feet. Azura then did a series of punching strikes which Aqua deflected then countered with a palm hand strike to Azura's ribs which stunned him, Aqua then did a swing kick and struck Azura in the head knocking him down, but he quickly recovered by rolling back to his feet. Azura then came in with a double knife hand strike, Aqua blocked them, but Azura then grabbed her arm and pulled it over then twisted it back the other way while keeping it up against his chest, causing Aqua twist along with her arm and fall down on the ground, performing a Hap Ki Do takedown.

Aqua growled in pain and tapped out, giving Azura victory of the first round. They both reset and prepared to begin round two.

"First to three?" Azura asked.

"Sure why not?" Aqua replied.

Azura moved in and sent a knife hand strike at Aqua she blocked and caught then attempted to twist his arm to lock him in place and force a tap out, but Azura thrusted his hand forward into Aqua's gut where her Diaphragm was stunning her and forcing her to release him. Azura then palm struck her in the forehead stunning her then followed through with a pushkick, knocking her down flat on her back on the ground. Aqua rolled back to her feet dusting off some sand from her clothes and prepared to resume combat. Aqua then threw threw a punches at Azura which were slow, so Azura was able to catch them then twist and tangle them while pulling them down to the side, taking down Aqua with another Hap Ki Do takedown.

"Man, that Hap Ki Do stuff is effective." Azura said backing away from Aqua so she can get back up.

"Is that what you're studying?" Aqua asked dusting off the sand from her preparing to start round three.

"Yep, what have you been studying?" Azura asked.

"Taekwondo and Naginatajutsu." Aqua replied.

"Hmph, no wonder." Azura thought. She's been training a style that keeps her opponent at bay using kick attacks to ward off the enemy if they get too close.

"Try studying Hap Ki Do, you'll need some way to combat someone in unarmed combat, sometimes you'll be caught without a weapon." Azura said to Aqua.

"Got it." Aqua replied. For now she'll just try to mimic what Azura does.

Aqua then threw up a runner kick and followed through with a swing kick, Azura blocked then countered with a round house kick of his own, then followed through with another round house kick with his other foot, Aqua quickly tried to block both hits and got ready to block another kick from Azura's other leg, but Azura surprised by quickly taking up his second leg and performing a quick striking Aqua in the ribs, stunning her. Azura then quickly drove his thumbs into two pressure points that were at the bottom of Aqua's jawbone, sending a jolt of pain shooting throughout her nervous system and stunning her, he then finished with a tornado kick which was sloppy, but still managed to get Aqua's head knocking her down to the ground. Aqua stumbled to get back up, and Azura finished her with a flying kick, knocking her back down to the ground on her back, winning the match.

"You okay Nee-San?" Azura asked walking over to help Aqua back up to her feet.

"Ugh, yeah, you're grasping this stuff a lot better than I am." Aqua replied taking Azura's hand to get back up to her feet.

"Actually I'm still having trouble grasping this stuff too." Azura said in honesty.

"That's hard to believe." Aqua said.

"I only defeated you because I've been studying a Martial Art that specializes around takedown techniques, if you study Hap Ki Do, I'm sure you'll be able to stand a better chance against me next time." Azura replied.

"Alright, I will." Aqua said walking off.

"You want a ice cream?" Aqua asked turning to face Azura.

"Sure." Azura replied.

Aqua then ran off to get herself and her brother a popsicle from the freezer in the kitchen.

It was the Vytal Festival, Aqua was so excited to be here, it was her first time attending such an event. There were Beacon students everywhere preparing to face off against students from Signal, Atlas, and other areas around the world.

"Oh wow, this is amazing, best birthday ever!" Aqua said looking at the mass of students everywhere.

"Oh, there's Team CBLT, and there's Jet!" Aqua said excitedly.

Jet was walking by stopped in response to hearing his name, and turned to see who had called his name.

"Mr. Jet!" Aqua said running up to him. "Can I have your autograph?"

Jet smiled at the little girl standing in front of him.

"Sure kid." he replied.

Jet took the photo of himself that Aqua offered him, and wrote down his signature on it and gave it back to her.

"Yay! Thank you Mr. Jet! Best birthday ever!" Aqua said cheerfully.

"It's your birthday?" Jet asked.

"Yep!"

"Well, in that case, if I win my next match, I'll you have my hat." Jet said running his finger along the brim of his cowboy hat.

Aqua cheered happily as Jet walked off, then ran back to her family showing them what she got from Jet.

"Hey, whatcha got there sweety?" Kei asked Aqua.

"Mr. Jet gave me his autograph!" Aqua said happily.

"Well, I guess you can say you got your first birthday gift." Hinto said, he was standing by Kei's side with a cane. A long time ago, when he and Sento were students at Beacon Academy, he recieved an injury while combating Grimm and could no longer serve as a Huntsman, his knee had recieved permanent damage along with his heart and could suffer a stroke or heart attack if he engages in any strainuous activities, hell even a simple walk a flight of stairs could kill him.

"Yep, he said he'll give me his hat if he wins his next match." Aqua added.

Aqua then noticed that her father and brother were carrying wrapped boxes with blue ribbons on them. Azura handed his over to Aqua first.

"Here Nee-San, I killed a bunch of pesky Squishy to get you this." Azura said.

Aqua accepted the gift and opened it, finding the blue cloak Azura had earned her, she took it out and tried it on.

"Aww, that looks cute on you dear." Kei said to Aqua. "What a lovely gift Azura."

"Thank you Oni-Chan." Aqua said giving Azura a hug.

Kei and Hinto then gave Aqua their gift which she accepted and opened finding a folded up blue Naginata inside.

"It's called, Umi's Spear, your mother and I spent a whole month forging that thing." Hinto said as Aqua took it out to examine it. "Now you and Azura both have your own weapons, just don't cut ya'll selves."

"Oh, thank mommy, thank you daddy." Aqua said hugging her parents.

"You're welcome sweetheart." Hinto replied.

"Come on, we're going to miss the next match if we don't hurry." Azura said.

"Right!  Come on let's go!" Aqua said bolting off.

"Slow down dear, your father can't run like you can!" Kei called out.

They eventually got to the stadium after waiting patiently for an elevator, but had to be careful when descending down the steps, Kei was worried that Hinto's heart would act up.

"Careful sweety." Kei said holding onto Hinto.

"Relax dear, I can handle a couple of steps." Hinto replied.

"Is that why you had a stroke when you climbed the steps of our backyard porch?" Kei asked jokingly.

"That's different." Hinto replied.

"Sure it is." Kei said as they took their seats.

Aqua looked down to see who was in the ring below, Jet Colt, and Coltan Bones. The crowd was cheering for the match to start, there were a lot of girls who seemed to be cheering for Jet.

"Mr. Jet!" Aqua shouted waving.

Jet noticed Aqua and waved back.

"Hmph, never thought you'd be a lolicon." Coltan said to Jet. Coltan wore an attire similar to Jet, except he had a vulture skull on his hat, and a human skull slung to his side along with gothic themed combat boots.

"What can I say?  My fans love me." Jet replied.

The buzzer went off signalling both contestants to begin, and with lightning quick reflexes Jet drew his Jet Eagles and began to fire upon Coltan who took a few hit before he could raise up a wall made of skulls using his Semblance. Coltan then summoned up skull projectiles from the ground to attack Jet, but Jet dodged each one as he kept shooting never taking his eye of off Coltan nor his aim which was deadly accurate. Jet then charged through wall of skull and tackled Coltan to the ground and unloaded both his magazines into Coltan's head which was shielded by his Aura, Jet then got off Coltan as he stepped back, turning around he did to fire one last shot into Coltan before quickly reloading his Jet Eagles.

Coltan was stunned by Jet's attack but quickly got back up, and drew his Graveyard and began to fire at Jet who rolled off to the side, switching his Jet Eagles into Assault Rifle form mid-roll and attached the launcher attachment and took aim at Coltan as he rolled to his feet and fired a smoke bomb at Coltan which landed at his feet and enveloped him in a cloud of grey smoke. Coltan fired blindly in the direction he last saw Jet who had already moved and triggered his Semblance, Heat Vision, to see through the smoke. Jet fired upon Coltan brought up another wall of skull to block the incoming bullets, and loaded Fire Dust ammo into his Graveyard, but was knocked down to the ground on his back by a .50 cal bullet from Jet which tore through his skull wall and struck Coltan in the head who was now semi-councious on the ground.

Jet switched his Jet Eagles back from Sniper Form to Assault Rifle Form and ran to a position where he had a clear shot of Coltan and opened fired. Coltan then used his Semblance to summon a giant bone hand to grab Jet and stop him from shooting at Coltan. Coltan raised the hand up and slammed Jet down into the ground hard, stunning Jet, Coltan then pointed his Graveyard at Jet and fired hitting Jet and sending him flying back and skidding across the arena floor. Jet quickly shook it off and loaded a cluster bomb grenade round into the launcher and fired it at Coltan which did a number on his Aura reserves. Jet then unloaded his magazine into Coltan as he laid on the ground stunned from the explosive salvo of the cluster bombs, and depleted his Aura down to 11%, winning the match.

"Bullets beat Zombies anytime." Jet said as he changed his Jet Eagles from Assault Rifle form back to Magnum form and holstered them.

"And just like that, Jet Colt wins the match!" the intercom announced.

Jet walked away as his fans cheered for him then stopped and looked for Aqua and spotted her. He waved at her and tossed his hat at her like Frisbee which she caught.

"Next up, we have Caelan Roth from Team CRLN versus, Jade Everett from Team JADE!" Intercom announced as two other students walked into the ring as Coltan left.

Caelan was a 17 year old who had dark red hair and dark blue eyes. He wears a dark red dress shirt and pants with white trim along with a red jacket with white and light blue trim and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. In addition, he wears red shoes and dark red fingerless gloves. On either side of his thighs are a pair of red holsters.

Jade was a 19 year old who had pale skin, purple eyes and long dark green hair tied up in a high ponytail. In her ponytail, she has golden hair ornaments with green beads and a pair of chopsticks. She wears a light blue top with gold lining and a dark blue jacket with gold pauldrons over top. She has a white skirt with frayed ends that is longer at the back. She wears black tights and blue and light blue boots. She also has her sword holstered around her waist along with several containers of various Dust blades.

"Should've known we'd be going up against each other." Jade said greeting Caelan.

"We were going to battle sooner or later." Caelan replied.

"Unless Jet got to one of us first." Jade said.

"The Gunslinger wouldn't stand a chance against either of us." Caelan replied.

The buzzer went off again and both contestants went at each other, and clashed swords, Caelan due to having two swords, had the offensive capability and attacked Jade relentlessly sending her on the defensive as she parried and blocked each incoming strike. Jade parried another strike, but this time Caelan forced her weapon down leaving her wide open to strike with his other blade, but Jade quickly used her Semblance, Telekinesis, to push Caelan away and gain some distance between him and her. Caelan then used his Semblance to launch a blood projectile wave at Jade who dodged the incoming attack then launched one of her powerful ranged attacks from her Jian sword, "The Gentleman" using Thunder Dust. Caelan stepped to the side, narrowly dodging Jade's attack and went after her, Jade launched a few more ranged Thunder attacks at Caelan who dodged each incoming attack performing the Standard Reversal technique and closing in distance between him and Jade.

Jade quickly swapped out her Dust blade to a Fire Dust blade and blocked an incoming strike then triggered her the Fire Dust to unleash a fiery explosion around her forcing Caelan to back away. Caelan then took aim with his Lyra and Spectre which were now in pistol form and fired upon Jade who caught the incoming bullets using her Telekinesis then launched them right back at Caelan, striking him in the leg and knocking him down to one knee.

His Aura protected him from injury but the force of the impact still was strong enough to cause knock back damage and stun him. Jade quickly took advantage of this window of opportunity and swapped back to her Thunder Dust blade and launched three thunder attacks at Caelan who rolled out of the way of the first attack, but was struck by the second an third attack knocking him down on his back and sending him skidding across the floor.

Caelan recovered and back flipped up to his feet then used his Semblance to summon forth an Ursa made of blood to aid him. He and his minion then went after Jade who braced herself to engage Caelan and his bloody minion, the Ursa attacked Jade who dodged the attack leaping up and jumping off it's head to meet Caelan who had jumped to try and jump over the Ursa to attack Jade. They clashed swords midair and landed on opposite sides of the bloody Ursa which turned around to face Jade and attack her. Jade dodged and thrusted her Jian sword at the Ursa's head while triggering her thunder attack which blasted through the creature's head as the blade pierced it, decapitating it. Caelan jumped up to attack Jade as his bloody minion exploded into crimson rain which concealed him. Caelan emerged from the bloody mess and slashed his swords at her, striking her. Jade retaliated by striking Caelan with her Jian sword and followed through a swing kick then ended by striking him with a thunder attack while he was stunned, sending him flying across the arena. Caelan attempted to recover and landed on the arena's edge struggling to regain his balance, but Jade finished him by using her Telekinesis to knock him over the edge and land out of the ring, winning the match.
