The soldier opened fire while the droids did the same. The bullets hit Shallot with him standing there and when the gun clip emptied Shallot brushed his bullet-ridden compressed shirt.
"I liked that shirt a lot." Shallot said before lifting his hand.
Shallot moved his hand quickly firing ki beams riddling the two soldiers with ki beams in the arm and legs making sure to avoid the vital points. Shallot disappeared from his spot and appeared next to a droid with the other droids being sent into the air.
The droids fell back to the ground in pieces with only a single droid standing. He turned and grabbed the face of the droid before crushing it with his hand.
It all happened in a single second with Mercury and Emerald looking in horror.
"Monster!" One of the people in the crowd said seeing what had just happened. They weren't sure how the droids got sent into the air but saw him crush the other droid into the air while the two soldiers were shot by something. They were laying on the ground spasming from the pain.
Shallot walked over to Mercury and kicked him in the stomach making him roll over. He kicked him until he was on his stomach then sat down on his back.
"What you go do about it." Shallot said looking at Emerald who was about to attack him.

Ozpin was in a room talking with Ironwood about the ways that they could work on how many soldiers that they needed for the event since most likely nothing was going to happen.
Ozpin got a call from Dr. Oobleck and answered it.
"Yes, Dr. Oobleck, is there anything. The Finals should still be going on." Ozpin said.
"..."
"What!? I'm on my way!" Ozpin said before starting to walk out of the room.
"What Ozpin," Ironwood said while already using his semblance to speculate what could cause something for Ozpin to hurry out with him to the conclusion that it is either a Grimm attack or one of the contestants had an emergency.
"Shallot has struck someone that was already down," Ozpin said.
Ironwood was trying to run simulations and couldn't see a way that this could be resolved if he was the aggressor and only if it was a mistake on their part.
"I'm coming along!" Ironwood said walking right behind him.

Shallot was sitting on top of Mercury's body when more droids came with their guns pointing. All of them stopped 30 feet away and only stood there.
After a couple more minutes Ozpin was there along with Ironwood. Oobleck was standing next to Port in the stands calming people down along with some of the Hunters and Huntress Alumni that Ozpin had called back.
"Can we know why you attacked Mr. Black even though the match was over?" Ozpin asked Shallot seeing him sitting there on top of Mercury.
Shallot looked over at the droids then back to Ozpin.
"That's why you need competent people here. They bit off more than they could chew now I'm sure those two won't be able to walk anymore unless a healing semblance is used." Shallot said while looking at the droids and the two that were being carried away on a stretcher.
"For your other question, someone interfered with my match making me think he was attacking me which I already know was Emerald. Her semblance from what I could see was creating illusions but now I'm thinking it is hallucinations since others didn't see it and from the video footage I moved slightly different from what I thought." Shallot explained.
"If you know that it was a hallucination then why attack still? Also, can you at least get off of him so that he can be treated for the fight? I can see that he is in pain currently." Ozpin asked.
"I said at the start of the match I was going to break his legs and send him to a mechanic. I need to make sure that my words are credible and Emerald made it possible." Shallot said while standing up since Ozpin was being civil.
"How do we know that what your saying is what really happened. From the video you just attacked him and that means you ripped his legs off for no reason." Ironwood said in an authoritative voice.
"Don't get chin checked James." Shallot said while looking at Ironwood.
Ozpin doesn't want things to escalate when Shallot continued speaking.
"We need to get this boy to a hospital. Grab a blanket." The medic said while carrying Mercury away. They get Mercury on the stretcher and rush him off, Emerald following right behind.
"How could you tell it wasn't real than when the video just shows you attacking him," Ironwood said while not making a move. He had used his semblance and still couldn't see a way to even get close to Shallot without being down as the two soldiers on the ground.
"You all are getting worked up over me snapping his metal legs that bad. It ain't like I did something like ripping his arm off." Shallot said while looking at them.
"Metal legs?" Ozpin said.
"His legs below the knees are metal. I could feel the metal when I kicked his legs. Besides you can see the oil on the ground under the legs and where I was sitting on him at." Shallot said while crossing his arms floating up looking down at Ironwood.
"Stow it! You've already caused enough of a scene!" One of the guards that came over said while raising his gun.
Shallot lifted his hand and fired a ki beam into his chest.
"Insects should know their place. If I'm not talking to you then shut up." Shallot said while looking at Ironwood who was doing everything he could to not move knowing that he would end up the same.

Meanwhile, Emerald runs alongside the two paramedics as they come across an open door with a woman in the same outfit inside.
"Here! We've got an ambulance ready to go!" A woman said at the end of the hallway.
Later, the back door closes on the emergency airship they loaded Mercury in.
"Hope they'll be okay. That girl won't leave his side." One of the paramedics said while looking at where the legs used to be.
"We'll take good care of both of them." Cinder who was disguised as a medic said from inside the emergency ship.
The transport flies away from the Colosseum, and Mercury is laying on a cargo box in the back, still moaning and crying beside Emerald sitting next to him.
"Oh doc, tell me, will I ever walk again?" Mercury said as he receives a punch in the arm from Emerald, looking at her as he rubs the sore spot he actually got hurt from.
"Ugh, headache. One mind I can handle, but two is a stretch." Emerald said while knowing that she made Dr. Oobleck think it was blood coming out instead of the oil.
"Well, you all performed marvelously, driver included." Cinder said while looking out the window and thinking about where they could get some emergency parts to make some new legs for him.
The "driver", wearing a similar uniform to the male medics, blinks his right eye that has a scar going from above it down to the bottom of his cheek. He had on shades and nods in silence with a malevolent grin on his face.
