Yin, Male, Cinder, Neo, Emerald, & Winter

4 years ago...

I am 12 years old and in the Amity colosseum to watch my older brother, Glenn, compete during the 38th Vytal Festival hosted by Atlas. His team easily mowed down almost everyone and heading up to the singles round where Glenn is facing Winter Schnee, current heir of the Schnee corporation you think. I have seen her and she is very strong but I am confident that Glenn can win!

Out comes Winter first and I have to say she looks very young, much younger then anyone else competing. If you had to guess you would say she is somewhere between 16 to 18, seems like a prodigy to me. She is wearing the Atlas academy uniform and has the familiar Schnee hair and grace. She looks dead ahead only showing signs of life when she salutes Ironwood who is at the announcers table with an Atlas teacher and waits for Glenn to arrive.

On the other side of the octagon arena. Glenn looked like a older version of me with his long dark blue hair flowing in the wind. His outfit has had a recent addition for the cold climate of Atlas so it is a bit different then usually but he still looks very cool in the freezing cold aith his shifting blade by his side gifted to him by dad.

"I have seen your work Sir Moon. You deserve to make it this far." Winter complimented Glenn.

"I can't take all the credit. My team helped me greatly to get here." Glenn said humbly. "But why are you complimenting for getting this far? You don't think I can go further?"

"Hmm, this festival is hosted by Atlas. It would be a shame for their sole remaining representative to be knocked out before the final round. Besides it is my destiny to win this tournament." Winter said coldly.

"Heh, so be it then." Glenn readied himself as did Winter. The match began and a rush of action was so fast you could barely track it even with your faunus eyes. From the few things you could see it looked like the match was even. Then Glenn is knocked back by a red glyph in front of Winter she then quickly summons three beowolves as white as ice.

Glenn smirked and quickly quick-stepped and began tearing through the beowolves. You looked back to see Winter with a yellow glyph under her as she fired shots from a distance. Glenn slain the last beowolf before closing the gap between her and Winter, she goes to use the same trick again before Glenn quick-stepped around her and took a slash at her back.

"Oh! It looks like the first big hit has been struck!" A female voice, a teacher at Atlas, explains. You look to see Winter at 75% of her aura while Glenn is only at 91%.

"That all you got Schnee?" Glenn asked.

"Hmph! Hardly." Winter didn't seem as composed as before as she summoned a **** of small nevermores to slow down Glenn as she summoned her most recent Grimm to kill. Glenn chuckled as he made his way through the nevermore horde which only took small potshots at him as he tore through them. He goes to hit Winter again only to be met by a white Manticore which knocks him back leaving him with 81% aura.

Glenn looked back to see his aura and Winter's, now a 68%, he nodded his head and decided to try and evade the Manticore while trying to attack Winter. His plan first goes well before he is first to sneak attacked by Winter then suffers a fireball from the Manticore. Now at 66% aura, he rethinks his strategy.

"What do you think he should do Yin?" My father asks.

"Defeat the Manticore then try and wait out Winter's aura?" You guessed. Father seemed fine with that answer though you doubt it was the best plan.

Glenn beelined for the Manticore dodging its strikes and fireballs as he cut its throat. "Ahh!" Glenn yelled in victory as he jumped the Manticore and headed for Winter. This was a bad idea as Winter has been preparing for this, Glenn landed on the glyph and was about to strike through as he felt lighting dust strike and then the black glyph turned red as it pushed him back.

Now at 50% aura Glenn knew one bad mistake like that would mean a lost. He had no time to think however as Winter saw the oppurinity and took it. She began swordfighting Glenn and pushing him back against the edge of the out of bounds. While Glenn was faster and more skilled in dueling than the younger Schnee, she had the upper hand and was using duel swords which were perfect for pushing someone back.

Glenn quickstepped out of there causing the end of the match. Glenn, not aware he quickstepped out of bounds, was confused about why Atlas officials were urging him to the back. "What I can still fight? Let me- Oh no!" Now realizing his mistake he reluctantly did so.

"The girl is smart. Glenn did his best, but all in all, this isn't the real fight." Father said.
