A/N: Two updates in a single day, hours from each other! I'm a fanfic writer, I don't think I'm supposed to do this … I feel a disturbance in the Force!

Nitpick #2: Who needs Silver Eyes … I mean besides having something to ignore?

The future members of Teams RWBY and JNPR were in quite a pickle. Standing in front of them in the clearing was a massive Deathstalker, armor thick enough to shrug off their most powerful attacks. And above them circled a Nevermore, the perfect example of death from above, out of reach of any conventional attack and with a hide almost as thick as the Deathstalker.

Staying in the clearing was a death sentence, they were in the perfect spot for the Nevermore to launch barrage after barrage of giant, pointy feathers at them while the Deathstalker could harass them without any fear from said barrages.

The only real decision, the one Jaune and Ruby had already thought of, was to flee into the woods for a better battle ground. The trees would provide cover while-

"Ren! Do the thing!"

"Alright, Nora."

Before anyone could act on the previous common sense of running, Ren crouched down and placed both of his hands on the ground, his palms pointed towards Nora as she ran towards the Deathstalker.

Again, before anyone could do the smart thing – which was telling Nora to run away from the Deathstalker – they were stopped by surprise, surprise of the shimmering field of Aura that surrounded Ren and the other field around Nora, which turned her … gray?

With Aura powering her legs, Nora was in front of the Deathstalker within seconds and the Deathstalker did … nothing. It didn't notice Nora at all, it just continued to stare at the other students as Nora shoved her grenade launcher into the Grimm's mouth and fired off all of her time-delayed grenades.

Once again, it only took Nora seconds to run back to the group, and only a few seconds for the grenades inside of the Grimm to go off and kill it. It was almost comical, how all of its eyes exploded and the sockets oozed with gore like a fire hose.

…

…

…

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT/SQUAWK!?"

Beginning Volume 1 Weiss and the Nevermore sounded indistinguishable from each other, so none of the kids could tell just how confused the Nevermore was. The orange haired human disappeared and then its fellow Grimm died and then the human reappeared! WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?

"Yeah, Ren can make people invisible to Grimm! It's super awesome!"

"I actually dampen and hide emotions. But yes, I essentially turn people invisible to Grimm."

…

…

…

"Do you even need to go to this school?"

"THAT'S WHAT I SAID! But Ren and Oz kept saying stupid stuff about licenses and logistics and blah blah blah."

Needless to say, the ensuing fight with the Nevermore was a joke.

"Well, I suppose that's one student who won't complain about sparring classes not teaching them anything about the Grimm."

"The council's going to have that boy breed with every female in Vale in the hopes of a family semblance, aren't they Oz?"

…Sip.

"Hey, Ren, can I ask some questions about your semblance?"

"I'm not going to use it so you can remain calm during exams."

"…I have one question about your semblance."

Ren looked towards his fearless – pfft – leader and waited for Jaune to continue. Jaune didn't say anything for a few moments, waiting for Ren to give some kind of conformation that he could ask his question.

Keep in mind, Jaune's only known Ren for a few days, he still hasn't realized that Ren has a case of silent protagonist.

After a minute of being unnerved by Ren's stoic staring, he finally asked, "W-well, I was thinking … your semblance is awfully useful, shouldn't you keep it secret, like, an ace up your sleeve kind of thing?"

"…What's the point in that?"

"Huh?"

"The Grimm don't talk to each other, so keeping secrets from them is kind of pointless. Not to mention my semblance can't do anything to other hunters or criminals unless they have emotion-based powers. Even if people got it in their heads that my calming aura was some mind control effect, it's also very draining, so they don't have anything to really be scared of. To sum it up, it's pretty pointless to keep my semblance a secret."

"O-oh yeah … I guess that was a dumb question."

"It's fine."

…

"So, what kind of semblance do you think a person would keep secret?"

"I don't know. Something ridiculous like being able to control other people's weapons or something."

"ACHOOO!"

"You okay Pyrrha?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Now that I have all of the Relics there is nothing that you – Team RNJR – can do to stop me! SALEM! Hey, where'd they go?"

Shiiiiing!

"GAH!"

Salem's head rolled away from her lifeless body, stopping next to the window so that she could view the Grimm pits that probably should have spawned more Grimm. Might still be alive if they did.

She never saw Team RNJR turn back to their normal color hues, or Ren cleaning the Grimm blood from his dagger-gun thingies.

Ruby pulled out her scroll and dialed a number, the call was received in an instant.

"UNCLE QROW! WE STOPPED SALEM AND SAVED THE WORLD!"

"Did you use your Silver Eyes?"

"My what now?"

So what did you guys think about this different format? Would you prefer little comedic stories first, or do you occasionally want just rant only chapters? Let me know in the reviews.

I remember the day that Ren's semblance was revealed on the show, and it was genuinely when I was the most ecstatic about something during all of volume 4. I was nerding out, just gushing in my head about his semblance.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't really care much about Ren, I forget he exists more than any other character in the show. Besides one of the team CRDL members, Ruby's mom, Oobleck, Penny – I remember Penny's teammate Ciel more, but mostly because I think Ciel looks fucking hot. I want to see her in a blue colored, military officer's outfit sooooo bad.

Ahem, anyway, I don't really care about Ren – being too quiet for his own good, then not in Vol. 5 – I just love, LOVE the idea of his semblance in the world of Remnant, or the idea of Remnant we were first presented with.

It's my favorite because it's hands down the best semblance any Hunter, a specialized killer of Grimm, could ever ask for. Yes, it's trash in tournaments and against other people, like I said in the story, but in a world of Grimm this semblance is the holy grail.

I want to see people's reactions to this semblance, I want to see them chomping at the bit to get Ren super trained to kill big Grimm, I want people to see Ren as a resource. Imagine if you lived on a planet infested with Zerg and you had super bug spray powers, you would be the most important person on the planet.

I am just helplessly fascinated with the concept of Ren's semblance. Unfortunately, the Hunters in this show rarely fight the Grimm, and when they do, the Grimm are just chump change. Remember in the beginning when Teams RWBY and JNPR had to fight together to kill a single Nevermore and Deathstalker … and then Coco, a second year, killed like ten of those with one sweep of her fucking purse?

My favorite semblance in this show is practically fucking useless, even more useless because of Ruby's Mystic eyes of Deus Ex Perception.

Ugh, whatever, next chapter will talk about my thoughts about the Faunus race as a whole and – fun fact – has nothing to do with the racism in this show, unless you think so, tell me in the next chapter's reviews.

A/N: Hey … would you guys mind … telling me … if I use ellipses … too much. I've … caught myself … doing that … a lot.
