Just coming to, Sapphire Jasmine was trying to get a grasp on her surroundings.
"Alright that psychopath threw me off a cliff. I was trying to use my semblance to make myself lighter but I messed up and made myself heavier and crashed into the ground really hard. I guess the force knocked me out and now…"
Sapphire stopped her recollection and looked towards the hand resting besides her. Sapphire's eyes traced up her slender arm to get a good view of who it was. Only her idol, no big deal.
When Sapphire crashed it was rather loud and drew the attention of Pyrrha Nikos. Who was almost crushed by Sapphire.
"Hello" Pyrrha greeted
"H-Hi um, Ms. Nikos"
"Please, call me Pyrrha. What can I call you?" she asked
"I'm S-Sapphire Jasmine"
"It's very nice to meet you"
"Okay, best day ever"
"We're surrounded!" Sapphire said immediately changing demeanor
Looking around, Pyrrha noticed the red eyes in the bushes.
"Sharp senses." Pyrrha commented
"Shit, can't let it slip!" Sapphire thought as her ears twitched under her hat
The first Beowolf lunged at Sapphire and was less than a second from landing a hit. Pyrrha quickly drew Milo and aimed it towards the Beowolf's head, but it was already killed. Sapphire's Reaper had impaled it in the neck and with a pull of the trigger, it's head had a sizeable hole in it. Once Pyrrha joined in, the battle went by swiftly with a multitude of stabs and shots ending the pack.
The two girls sheathed their weapons and took a breather.
"You're a great fighter." Pyrrha complimented Sapphire, who blushed in response
"T-Thank you.."
After a few minutes Pyrrha asked "Would you like to move on now?"
Sapphire nodded. The two girls walked together and started to make small talk.
"So where are you from?" Pyrrha asked
"I'm from Vacuo."
"I can finally ask her stuff!" Sapphire realized
"Is your hair naturally red?"
"Yes, is your hair naturally blue?" Pyrrha responded
"Yeah"
"It looks good on you." Pyrrha complimented
Sapphire blushed bright red at that comment.
"There it is!"
Pyrrha walked faster towards what appeared to be chess pieces. Sapphire could vaguely hear something coming towards them.
"Sounds like someone riding a Ursa. Gotta be my imagination who would be crazy enough to do tha-"
Sapphire got knocked off her feet by a Ursa and flew into a tree, snapping it in half.
Sapphire's entire body hurt as she skidded to a stop on the ground
"Owwww!" She whined,
"Awww," The psychopath sighed "it's broken..."
"Owww" Sapphire whined even though it wasn't that bad
"Take my hand." Pyrrha offered
Very shakily, Sapphire took Pyrrha's hand. "T-Thank you…"
"Of course partner" Pyrrha smiled
"Oh my god too adorable!"
"Nora…." A boy who came out of nowhere who seemed to be out of breath, "Please, don't ever do that again…"
Sapphire walked over to the pedestals and grabbed a chess piece then grabbed another and tossed it to the boy.
"Thank you." He said while still gasping for air.
"Uh….where's your friend?" Pyrrha asked.
Said friend was running towards the group and laughing maniacally. Behind her was a Deathstalker giving chase.
"We should go!" Pyrrha said as the group of four started to run for their lives.
Sapphire really wanted to make a bitchy comment about how this isn't her problem.
"Sorry for dropping this on you." Ren apologized.
"What's your name?" Pyrrha asked.
"I'm Ren and this is Nora."
"Nice to meet you." Pyrrha said
"Anyone got a plan?" Nora asked
"I do" Sapphire said as she noticed what looked like old ruins "See that bridge? If we can get it on there I can kill it"
"Alright, we'll follow your lead!" Pyrrha confirmed
"No pressure."
As they ran Sapphire and Ren fired shots at the Deathstalker to try and slow it down but it wasn't very effective. Seeing little choice, Sapphire turned around to fight but was beaten to the punch by Nora who hit Sapphire while swinging Magnhild. Pyrrha and Ren provided suppressive fire while Sapphire got back up and tried her best not to throw Nora off the bridge. Sapphire rushed towards the Deathstalker and stabbed it in the eye which made it furious and slapped Sapphire into a pillar with its stinger.
"Sapphire!" Pyrrha called out
"Fall back" Sapphire ordered as the Deathstalker neared the bridge.
After climbing on top of the pillar, Sapphire leapt on top of the Deathstalker. The stinger was swiftly cut off by Reaper which left the Deathstalker pinned but not enough to kill it. Then Sapphire used her semblance.
The weight on the Deathstalker increased, enough to break the bridge and send it falling into the chasm below. Sapphire jumped off of it's back and was reaching for the ledge but her hand was just short of it and she began to fall down. Pyrrha slid on the ground towards the ledge and grabbed Sapphire's hand just by the fingertips. Pyrrha pulled with all her strength but knew that she wouldn't be able to pull Sapphire up before her grip slipped. Once again Sapphire used her semblance and her body became much much lighter, light enough that Sapphire went flying ten feet with one pull.
"We did it!" Nora cheered
"Indeed" Ren added
After standing back up Sapphire held her fist out to Pyrrha who returned the gesture.
"Guess we should head back" Sapphire said
"The way back is closed off" Ren said and pointed at the twenty meter gap.
"Just stay within five meters, it's my range."
Sapphire stepped forward and seemed to levitate in the air and everyone stood there in shock.
"Gonna keep staring or do you wanna take a picture?"
The three snapped out of their shock and got within Sapphire's range. The group slowly floated across the gap and landed on the ground.
"Awesome!" Nora cheered and Sapphire just headed back
Sapphire placed the chess piece she found in the designated area and swiftly decided to go somewhere with less people. Once Sapphire was sure nobody was around, she collapsed.
"Damn..." she groaned, "Overused my semblance..."
Sapphire removed her hat and two fox ears were finally let loose. Sapphire started rubbing them gently to try and make them less sore, her hat didn't give them much room.
"Someone's coming!"
Quickly Sapphire but her hat back on and stood up.
"There you are, the ceremony is about to start."
"Sorry, I'll be right there Pyrrha"
Within twenty minutes, it was the gang's turn.
"Sapphire Jasmine, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie, and Lie Ren. The four of you retrieved the rook piece. The four of you will form team Juniper, led by Sapphire Jasmine."
"M-M-Me?!"
Sapphire received an affectionate punch to the shoulder from Pyrrha.
After the ceremony Sapphire went to bed while her team went to dinner. Before sleeping, she dug through her bag and found her diary.
Dear diary, today was actually a pretty good day. I started at Beacon and my partner is freakin' PYRRHA NIKOS! XD I could die of happiness. When she touched me I could feel electricity. My heart wants her sooooooooooo bad but my brain knows it won't happen. I should know better than to think she's a lesbian. Even if she was I know she would never date a Faunus like me.
When she fell asleep Sapphire left her hat on, she refused to show her fox ears to her new team.
Okay so this started as an Arkos story but I soon realized that I can't write Jaune to save my life. That and at some point in the past year I became a yuri writer. So let me know if you want more of this story or if you want to kill me for ruining your OTP...actually keep that last one to yourself my name does mean something after all. Alright I don't know what else to type soooooooo...Ora Ora Ora?
