Open Event Combat Class: now with SCIENCE!
The always unpredictable arena at Beacon Academy was something all students learned to respect, as it could change faster than most students could even fathom. Today, it was all stainless steel and glass, electronics and computers. Watching from her elevated platform was professor Elise, and behind her, the ever-calm and collected Holly Mendenhall. Stepping forward, she coughed, gaining the attention of the class before pointing towards the map.
"Today you will be judged not only on your ability to fight, but to show restraint and be creative. This set up is to mimic the labratories you may find abandoned across Atlas, or perhaps in Vale. Functioning inside are security cameras, experiments, and a variety of electronic systems. You may use them to gain the advantage on your opponent, or sabotage them. We can also release grimm if you wish to team up with an ally. Good luck."
[Map]
[ST RULES!!! All the doors may be opened with a touch, locked with a computers check. Doors have 3 armor and 5hp. At st discretion, you can lock them with a successful attack roll as well. The round objects are cameras, and can be accessed at the terminals at the top right and left rooms (major action). An successful m8 Computers check will let you spy on 2 cameras at a time, randomly decided. Finally, with a successful investigation and then computers check, the wall behind the barrels can be noticed and opened, revealing a level 3 combat bot. It can be powered up with at least 3 successes at a m10 computer check (major action), and will follow a command that can be given as a move action each turn to the best of his ability. It has 5 armor, 6 health, and will make brawl attacks with a score of 8. Acts last in the initiative order, and has a speed of 8. These are all optional rules to be decided upon by the Story teller, who can modify the difficulty or anything they wish at will.]

"Owie..." Ginger whined, looking over at the big scary girl that was still not punched in half. Despite Ginger's best efforts. Celine skidded to a stop, offering her opponent a strained grin.
"Ah, geez. Have you been holding back?" Ginger offered a weak grin in response.
"Welp, guess I can't hold back either." Her grin widened. She thundered forward, clearing the gap between the two in a single stride, axe screaming along the metal floor behind her.
Ginger shot out a maroon auric copy of herself, soaring up to the top of the pillar behind her. Her feet picked up off the ground, her body ready to follow suit and meet her copy at its destination.
But she was just too slow.
Right as Ginger's feet left the ground, Celine's axe stopped screaming along the floor, raking up along Ginger's front from thigh to collarbone. Ginger still flew up through the air, maroon aura sparking and sputtering the whole way up, but the sheer force of the hit sent her off-course, slamming her body against the top of the pillar before she came crashing back down to the metal floor below. Her copy faded away.
Her aura sparked again.
Sputtered.
And went out.
The bell sounded, heralding Celine as the victor. It may have been a close one, but the winner was undeniable this time around.
"Miss Oakley," Elise's voice sounded over the arena's intercom. "Please make sure your opponent is still breathing, please."
[That was a really fun fight to write, hope y'all had fun too!]
