It was all her fault, everyone who had died in the past two hours, their blood was on her hands... But could she actually kill someone? Sunset, along with Pyrrha and Ruby, tightened her grip on Sinner's Ballad and approached her downed enemy, a dark haired woman in a red dress, as they struggled to get up. The fire haired girl briefly shifted her gaze to the city below her blood boiling as Grimm rampaged through the streets. Seeing the destruction wrought upon her new home steeled her resolve. She turned her attention back to the woman she was approaching and began to quietly sing.

"Were we born to fight and die?

Sacrificed for one huge lie?

Are we heroes keeping peace?

Or are we weapons?

Pointed at the enemy

So someone else can claim a victory?"*

As she did so, the woman in red managed to roll onto her back. Looking up she saw Sunset standing there, and felt something only her mistresses had ever managed to instill in her. Fear. "W-w-what are you?" Sunset stomped on the woman's chest and lifted her axe over her head. The woman's eyes widened and she began to shake. "W-w-wait! I'll tell you-" The woman gasped in pain as Sunset shifted her weight and applied more pressure to her chest. "P-please...!" The woman's words were carried away with the wind as the axe fell.

Sunset and the Sirens were currently in Professor Goodwitch's class standing across from Team RWBY, and both teams were ready for battle. Sunset had woken up that morning with a deep-seated fear. She was sure it was related to a dream she had, but she couldn't remember anything, so she had decided to go about her day like normal. "Girls?"

Sunset shook her head and looked at Aria out of the corner of her eye. "Yeah Aria?"

"Leave Yang to me, I want to settle something with her." The purple haired Siren narrowed her eyes at the blonde brawler, who responded in kind. She gave a quick glance at her own feet** before turning to Sunset. "You finished with the modification I asked for, right?"*** When Sunset nodded a vicious grin slithered its way onto Aria's face. "Good. If this works, I won't need any ranged weapons..."

"Are both teams ready?" When Glynda received eight affirmatives she nodded. "The match will last until there is only one team left standing..." Both teams got into their ready positions. "Begin!" With the match having officially begun, the two teams charged at each other.

Yang immediately targeted Aria, firing a couple shots from Ember Celica as soon as she got in range, only for Aria to slide under them. As the blonde cocked her gauntlets in order to fire again Aria decided to tryout the upgrade she had asked Sunset for, and with a quick burst of aura she shot forward at a speed that would make Ruby proud, reaching Yang in half a second. She gave the surprised blonde a powerful uppercut before delivering a quick kick to her chest and activating the upgrade once again, sending the girl flying across the room. "Perfect!" She set her foot down and activated the upgrade once again, propelling herself towards her fellow brawler.

Sonata ran toward Blake with Napakymppi in staff mode, quickly swinging her weapon toward her opponent's right side, only for the weapon to shatter the sculpture the Faunus had made using her semblance. Sonata quickly turned around, just in time to knock a strike from Gambol Shroud away, before bringing the bottom of her staff upwards and striking Blake in the chin, following up with a quick head-butt. The blue haired Siren collapsed her weapon and did several back handsprings in quick succession before extending her weapon once more and taking a stance.

Ruby and Weiss were working together in an attempt to over power Sunset and Adagio. "Ice Flower!" Weiss summoned a glyph in front of Crescent Rose's barrel as Ruby pulled the trigger. The round only managed to make it half way to its location before it collided with a wall of flame and disintegrated. "Weiss, put out the- Incoming!" Weiss summoned a glyph in front of her partner, protecting her from the fireball that had come out of the flames. "Thank-" Ruby was cut off when Sunset leapt through the wall of fire and struck hit her with Sinner's Ballad.

"Ruby!" Weiss activated Myrtenaster's revolving chamber, switching to lightning dust and creating a time dilation glyph in order to quickly reach her partner and assist her. The heiress went to move, only to have Adagio's barbed whip wrap around her wrist and pull her back toward the Siren, disarming her in the process and sending her weapon sliding across the floor toward Adagio.

The eldest Siren smirked and placed a foot under Myrtenaster before kicking it into the air and grabbing it. "I could end this now Weiss... But where's the fun in that?" Adagio threw the rapier back to Weiss who was slightly confused by the action. The Siren reached behind her back and stomped her foot, grabbing Rompre as it ejected. She held the collapsed sword in front of her before making it extend. "En garde!"

Meanwhile with the two brawlers, Aria had made what would usually prove to be a fatal mistake... She had severed a lock of Yang's hair. "You..." Aria smirked when Yang's eyes opened, revealing that they had changed color, having gone from violet to red. "You monster!!!" Aria glanced behind her, nodded and smirked before returning her gaze to Yang, who seemed to literally be on fire.

"Hey, bimbo!" Aria held out her hand and made a 'come hither' motion with a finger. "Come get some!" Yang charged forward in a blind rage and the moment before she reached Aria, the Siren sidestepped the blonde's punch, which instead connected with Blake, whom had just dodged a strike from Sonata, who had seen her sister nod.

A buzzer sounded as Blake flew across the room, coincidentally landing in the arms of one Sun Wukong, who had decided to sit in on Goodwitch's class in order to watch some matches. "Blake Belladonna's aura has been depleted!" Yang paused for a moment, realizing what had just happened. She fell to her knees as Aria kicked the back of her legs, before feeling the Siren place a boot on her back and stomping as had as she could, forcing the blonde to be flat on the ground.

"That's for all the shitty puns you've made since the school year started!" Aria then lifted her foot and pulled the dazed blonde to her feet. "And this is because your dog pissed on my boots!" She delivered a swift kick to the blonde's chest and activated her upgrade once more, a buzzer sounding a second after Yang landed next to Sunset and Ruby, who were pushing against their weapons against one another, each trying to overpower the other.

"Yang Xiao Long's aura has been depleted!"

"Yang!" Ruby's eye's widened, hearing that her sister had been beaten and pushed against Sunset, who was visibly starting to struggle, with all her might, starting to overpower the older girl.

Sonata and Aria noticed this and began to give Sunset some words of encouragement. "Come on Sunny! You can do it!"

"Show her what you're made of Sunset! Don't hold back!" When their word's reached the fire haired girl's ears something about her changed. Her eyes narrowed and she began to glow, forcing several people, including Glynda, to look away from the bright light**** before pushing back against Ruby with all her might, pushing her off of her before shooting a fireball from her flame thrower and following up with a powerful blow to her side, knocking the little reaper down, a buzzer sounding as she landed. Ruby, as well as Glynda, looked at the girl's aura meter in shock.

"... Ruby Rose's aura has been depleted."

Ozpin and Ironwood, who were both watching the match on a monitor in the former's office, looked on in shock at the result of the clash. Well, Ironwood was staring at shock, Ozpin was simply looking at the monitor, elbows on his desk, chin resting on the back of his hands. "Hmmmm...."

"She beat Ruby, Ozpin. How did she beat a silver eyed warrior!?"

"I don't know James, but it is clear that there is more to Sunset Shimmer, and her team, than what we've seen so far." Ozpin watched on the monitor as the three singers aided their remaining sister by surrounding Weiss, and giving her no chance of escape. His eyes drifted to the girl's aura meter, noticing that it had been refilled. "But I do know that she along with Ruby and Miss Nikos, may be the key to our victory."

Weiss's eyes began to dart back and forth between her four adversaries. Ruby, Blake and Yang had all been eliminated and now she was surrounded by the entirety of one of the top three first year teams. The heiress sighed and lowered her weapon. While she didn't like it, the girl knew that she had no chance and decided to have the match end with at least her dignity in tact. "I forfeit..." The buzzer sounded and Glynda walked onto the stage.

"That's the match. You all put up an excellent fight. Miss Blaze, it was clever of you to bait one of your opponents into eliminating another, however I must request that you do not use my class to settle personal grudges." Aria just waved her words off, much to the woman's annoyance. "Miss Dusk you were able to catch a slight movement from your partner and managed to quickly analyze her situation and help her to turn it to your advantage. Miss Dazzle, while it was honorable of you to return Miss Schnee's weapon to her, however doing so in actual combat would make you lose your advantage. And Miss Shimmer... " Sunset gulped at the teacher's pause. "Well done as always."

Sunset let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you Professor Goodwitch." The bell began to ring and signal the end of class, as well as the end of the school day. After Glynda had dismissed the class Sunset turned and looked at Team RWBY and her sisters. "I'll see all of you later, I've got to go... Buy some dust! Yeah, that's it! I need to go buy some more fire dust! Okseeyalaterbye!" Before anymore words could be spoken, Sunset had left the room, 'accidentally' knocking Cardin down on her way out.*****

Once she was on a transport bound for the city she pulled out her scroll and dialed a number. "Hey Neo, is our date still on for tonight?"

Author's Note

End of this video.

**
She had asked her team leader to modify the boots she always wore in combat, by adding dust chambers to the bottom that she could fill with Gravity Dust that she could activate with her aura in order to propel herself forwards. She named this new addition to her arsenal Scatto. (Sprint in Italian.)
***
Sunset is the weapons nut of the group, as such she and the Sirens unanimously decided to let her be the one to make any modifications to their arsenal.
****
This was but a small glimpse of Sunset's semblance. If you can guess what it is, I'll follow you, but if you guess please just send me a message and do not comment on the story. (It might ruin the surprise for other people.)
*****
I have absolutely nothing against Cardin, nope, nothing at all!

PS. I apologize for taking so long with this chapter... I blame Persona 5... It's a good game... Go out and buy it. NOW!
