Music Intro: Tense, rhythmic strings and a pulsing beat, like pre-tournament anticipation. A brief, heroic motif for Team RWBYD, then a more ominous undertone.)
(Verse 1 - Daniel)
Next day at Beacon, Ozpin called us aside,
"Torchwick's demanding, with nowhere to hide
His bruised ego, Daniel, from your little display,
He wants satisfaction, a battle today."
I thought for a moment, then laid out my plea,
"A gauntlet, Headmaster. His team against me...
And mine. If they win, then he gets his desire:
A one-on-one match to set Remnant afire."
(Pre-Chorus - Daniel, with Team RWBYD harmonies)
(Daniel) The arena was set, the whole kingdom would watch,
(RWBYD) But Roman's crew vanished, not a sign, not a notch...
(Chorus - Full Rock, Dramatic, Urgent)
(Daniel Lead) Then the air turned electric! They strode into view!
(RWBYD) GLOWING WITH POWER, A FRIGHTENING NEW HUE!
(Daniel Lead) An aura unholy, it twisted and burned!
(RWBYD) "EVACUATE NOW!" THE LESSON UNLEARNED
(Daniel Lead) By those who seek power through desperate, dark means!
(RWBYD) "GET PEOPLE TO SAFETY! ESCAPE THESE MAD SCENES!"
(Verse 2 - Daniel)
To my dorm for my gear, through the chaos and dread,
But Flynt Coal appeared, blocking the path just ahead.
His trumpet a weapon, his eyes full of hate,
"You embarrassed us, pretty boy, now meet your fate!"
He lunged like a viper, a brass-fueled attack,
Just a pulse of my aura to send his frame back!
No water, no ice, just a shimmering haze,
He smashed through a pillar in a terrified daze,
Then vanished like smoke when I reached for the door.
(Pre-Chorus - Daniel, voice hardens)
(Daniel) No time for these lackeys, I'm here for the core,
(RWBYD Echo, determined) The core of the darkness, and settling the score!
(Bridge - Daniel, in the arena, facing Roman; music becomes more tense and sparse)
The arena stood empty, just Roman, so smug,
"Impatient, my boy? Need a victory hug?"
He polished his cane, with a laugh and a sneer,
"Your little power display doesn't fool me, my dear."
My last warning given, "Walk away from this fight."
He just chuckled, "Impress me, then, with all of your might!"
(Daniel, ice in his voice) "Alright, Roman. Let's discuss... the WHITE FANG'S new night."
(Outro/Climax - Music explodes, Team RWBYD springs into action)
(Ruby, fast) "That's it! Signal given!" (Yang, battle cry) "Time to clear out his grunts!"
(Blake, intense) "Daniel needs this solo!" (Weiss, resolute) "We'll handle these runts!"
(Music swells dramatically – fast-paced, heroic battle theme with orchestral and rock elements. Sounds of combat starting around the periphery.)
(Daniel, focused solely on Roman) "Just you and me, Torchwick. Your shadows, my light."
(Song ends abruptly on a powerful, sustained, and slightly dissonant chord – a cliffhanger for the next song/fight.)
