Author's Note:Hey got another chapter out before the second volume. I don't know if I will update this at all between now at the end of the second volume, since I want to use accurate information. If Monty Contradicts anything I said here, then I will just turn this into an Alternate Universe fic. On a side note I am about 1000 words into Chapter five of Fairy Cannon, so maybe another couple of weeks until that is done.


"How could you support those anti-human terrorist!" Weiss shouted, her body trembling as her aura flooded within her body.

Krypson stood up and attached a blade across his back from each shoulder. He silently made a motion for the orange haired Nora to hand him the short sword and dagger she had been holding until that moment. When Krypson attached his short sword horizontally across his back just above his hips and his dagger to his left shin, he looked up at Weiss and responded, "You can't really claim us to be anti-human when very few humans have actually been injured by us."

"Very Few! Every day for the past seven years I lost close friends to White Fang raids! You are just as bad as them if you help them!" Weiss shouted, bringing her right foot forward and leaning slightly backwards. "The White Fang is nothing but filthy liars!"

Krypson smiled faintly as he reached down and grabbed a strange looking sabre that he clipped onto his belt. He gestured Nora away and turned so that his right side faced Weiss, "So I guess I can't just say you shouldn't fight me here?"

Looking alarmed, Ruby asked, "The teachers wouldn't allow a fight to break out in the middle of the school would they?"

Yang looked at her little sister and frowned slightly, "I don't think they would want to deal with the potential damages."

The black clad Blake sighed and gave her opinion, "This is a combat school, so as long as they don't kill each other or do damage to the facility, the staff probably doesn't care."

Weiss held her rapier parallel to the floor and dashed toward Krypson. Krypson leaned right and spun around the strike just as it passed him. While Weiss had her back turned to him, Krypson drew his short sword from across his back. Weiss jumped and used one of her white glyphs to reverse direction, the circle containing several simple runes that allowed it to act as a solid barrier.

Krypson watched as Weiss fell upon him and moved to the right while using his left hand to push her rapier away from his body. Weiss fumed as Krypson avoid yet another attack, all while moving slowly. Krypson spun on his heels and struck out with his short sword in a horizontal slash across Weiss' back.

Weiss gave a small shout as the blade cut through her skin and muscle, begin stopped by her aura long before it did serious damage. Fuming, Weiss activated the ice dust within her rapier and stabbed the ground as he spun. A line of ice appeared as she used her glyphs to freeze the ground.

Krypson was too slow to properly avoid the attack and ended up being frozen to the ground. He sighed and sheathed his sword. He grabbed his blade from his left shoulder and removed it, sheath and all. In this time, Weiss was directly behind him and flying through the air towards his back. Krypson leaned slightly to the side and angled his body.

The room was completely silent when Weiss' rapier pierced into Krypson's shoulder, right in the eye of his White Fang tattoo. The skin around his shoulder was beginning to rot as the dust in Weiss' rapier began to take effect. Krypson hardly flinched when he forced his long sword, still in it's sheath, through his chest and into the chest of Weiss. Some one in the background retched as the gruesome sight of two people being stabbed caught up with them.

Weiss gave a small scream as her lung was pierced by the sheathed blade. Krypson held the blade there for a second until he suddenly pulled the blade out of his body and replace the sheath on his back. Weiss gave a sickly wet cough as she slowly fell backwards onto the ground and released her blade. Once the blade left Weiss' hand, the dust cease to take effect. Krypson grabbed the handle and the end of the dust rapier and used his aura to snap it in half, the blade coming out of his shoulder and thrown down at Weiss and the basket hilt begin kept by Krypson.

The stunned silence was broken when the headmaster and his assistant walked in the main entrance and took in the scene before them. The headmaster sighed and took a deep gulp of his coffee while his female assistant walked over to the downed Weiss and began applying inked glyphs to heal her. The headmaster shook his head and looked over at Krypson.

"Not even a full twenty four hours at the school and you already have fought, dealing significant injuries." Ozpin said, before taking another sip of his coffee and continuing, "I beginning to wonder if allowing you in this school was a mistake."

"I apologize sir. I recognize that fights in the school cause you to look bad, but she insisted upon having this fight and I found that she made a compelling argument." Krypson replied, bowing at the waist and staring straight at the floor.

"She tried to stab you." Blake responded, her voice a combination of confused and unbelieving.

"A VERY compelling argument." Krypson corrected.

Nora ran up to Krypson and began checking him over, looking at the two holes in his chest before moving on towards the turn ligaments and obvious bruising. "I give up, how are you not on the ground dieing and in pain?" She asked, lacking any semblance of tact.

"Fear not, while I may not be in pain, you are completely correct about me dieing." Krypson said, giving Nora a small smile. The air grew still as his words registered in the minds of those around him.

"Are you okay? What can I do to help?!" Ruby asked, her voice low as she thought of losing another person from her life.

"I assure you that I am not in pain and have more than enough Aura to heal these injuries. I wouldn't stab myself if I wasn't sure I could survive." Krypson said, flaring up his deep green aura and began to slowly close the two holes in his chest.

"Are you sure you don't need help dude? I mean you literally have holes in your body." Yang asked, her voice incredulous.

"I will be fine Yang, but I appreciate the concern." Krypson replied, before nodding to Ozpin and his assistant. "I figure you need me to give a statement?" A small nod was all he received before

the duo finished treating Weiss and left the room, waiting for him to catch up.


Ruby and Yang where standing beside each other on two different metal slabs on the ground early the next morning. Yang was wearing her typical shorts and skirt with her two golden bracers around her arms. Ruby was wearing black and red corset and skirt with silver crosses for clasps and a vibrant red hood. Like always, Ruby had Crescent Rose in it's carrying form strapped to her back. Around then were various other beacon students talking and heading towards their own steel platform imbedded into the ground.

"What do you think happened with Krypson?" Ruby began."

"Probably got kicked out, since he is a member of the White Fang he was already on thin ice with Ozpin and the rest of the staff. The fight was just the straw the broke the damn." Yang replied, fishing a pair of shades from her pocket and placing them on her face.

"I just hope that they don't imprison him, he was such a nice guy." Ruby replied.

"Oh, does my cute little sister have a crush on mister polite and mysterious? I always knew you had it in you!" Yang teased.

"Yang!" Ruby shouted.

"What you know it's true. Come on admit it!"

"Admit what?"

Yang and Ruby spun around to see the smirking face of Krypson staring back at them. He was wearing black slacks and an open dress shirt with a set of nano-filament mesh underneath. At his left hip was the weird sabre from the day before, with the sheathed blade across his back from his right shoulder. On his back was the short sword, but in the opposite direction with the same sheath was a dagger with a jagged edge. On his left thigh there was a strange pistol and in his right boot there was another dagger, this one with a plain edge.

"Wha-?" The Ruby asked.

"Don't worry about me, I just got finished talking with Ozpin and we both agreed that I was not at fault for the battle last night." Krypson said, his voice even. As they were going to continue talking, Ozpin and his assistant came into the field and began to explain the exercise.

"Today you are going to go into the forest and get a single relic and bring it back here. Remember that the first person you make eye contact with will be your partner for the rest of you time here at Beacon. However, you will be marked individually for your performance during the exercise. Once you land and are partnered, you will head north and retrieve the relic. Now are there any questions? No? Good." Ozpin said, then the metal platforms under each student began launching them into the forest. One of the students asked a question about the landing strategy, but was easily toned out by the students.

When Krypson was launched, he spread his body eagle to slow down his decent. He saw Yang fly ahead of him with her shotgun based gauntlets, but paid her no mind as the tree line grew closer. Once he collided with the first tree, Krypson pulled his aura out and shielding himself with it to prevent any damage. The tree in front of him was completely destroyed by the force of his collision. It took another couple trees for Krypson to finally land.

Once Krypson's feet hit the ground, he stood up and stopped using his aura. As it was, he had used a great deal of his voluminous aura to protect himself. He could feel his aura begin replenishing faster then it ever had before, pulling the needed energy out of the excess already in the air. Krypson smiled softly as he pulled his sheathed blade off his back and held it as his side.

Krypson began walking due north. Along the way, Krypson managed to gather a meagre supply of berries and nuts to help keep him fed during the test. While Krypson was leaning down and picking another strawberry, he felt his back get pounded by a large beast. Krypson flipped around and jabbed with his sheath. The beowolf, with black fur and bone plates and spines running out of it's skin. They bipedal wolf lunged to the side and clawed Krypson's face.

Krypson grimaced as the blood from his cut face got into his eyes, making it difficult to see. He heard another lunge from the beast and stabbed his sheath into the chest of the creature. The sheath pierced the heart of the beast, ending it's life nearly instantly. Krypson used the time to wipe the blood from his eyes and survey the field. He saw that a rather large branch of the nearby tree was nearly cut through, almost as if it had been cut from all sides.

Krypson smiles as he jogged forward and saw signs of combat up ahead. Once he got closer it seemed like three people were fighting the pack that the earlier beowolf had belonged too. He heard a gun shot followed by a shower of red rose petals. From the other side of the same clearing he saw a large hammer crush a beowolf under it's immerse weight.

Krypson slowly climbed down to the clearing when he heard a rustle and felt his entire body get tossed aside by a large beowolf that attempted to pin him to the ground. Krypson sighed as he pulled out his straight edge dagger and stuck the poisoned blade into the beowolf, causing it to go slack and howl in pain. Once Krypson pulled himself free, he sheathed the dagger and pulled with sheath off his shoulder and struck in straight into the beowolf's brain.

Krypson sighed again as his nice clothing were once again blood stained. Perhaps Ruby was right in wearing reds and blacks, those colours didn't get blood stained after all. Thinking of Ruby, he saw her and the two others fighting side by side against a thinning horde of beowolfs. The hammer user used it's great bulk with professional level of skill.

Once again, when Krypson was distracted by watching Ruby and the two unknowns fighting a beowolf sneaked up on him. He felt the skin and muscle of his right arm get flayed by the massive claws the beowolf wielded. His sheathed blade fell from his now loose grip. As the beowolf came in for another attack, Krypson used his left hand to draw his short sword from behind his back.

The beowolf slashed at Krypson again but lost both of it's hands when Krypson sliced them. The beowolf howled and bit Krypson's shoulder. Krypson didn't even flinch as he used the sword to behead the beast that has assaulting him. Not taking any more time, Krypson jumped from the hill he was on to the ground. Once he landed, he began to spend his aura to heal the damages his body went through.

Ruby looked up at the sound of someone entering the clearing and saw a bloody Krypson stumble slightly. "Krypson, what happened?"

"Oh, hey Ruby. Just got attacked by some beowolves and it got a bit messy. How are you and your partner doing?" Krypson replied, wiping some of the blood off of his arms with a piece of cloth.

"I don't have a, Oh you mean Jack? He is doing fine, but he already has a partner." Ruby replied, smiling slightly, "I guess that means I am your partner eh?"

"Marvelous, maybe I can finally take a look at Crescent Rose for you."

"REALLY!" Ruby shouted, looking up at Krypson with something akin to hero worship.

"Yeah Sure."
