POV: Jason Vidar

Chapter 2: A Fight to Remember!

Blood, blood is all you see, all you smell, It's drowning, it's suffocating. Jason's eyes shoot open to a snow covered clearing the white snow is dyed red in blood and black in death. Grimm bodies littered the ground beowulf upon beowulf all circling and surrounding a small boy.

I can only watch from my perch on top of a tree, frozen with fear as I watch my little brother try to defend himself against a pack of beowolves. But he is too small and weak, the beowulf's easily overpower him knocking him to the ground before moving in for the kill the beowulf's lunge for his throat I here a long defining scream, then nothing.

I wake up from my nightmare with a jolt, i've broken out into a cold sweat during my nightmare causing me to shudder when the air chills the sweat. I look down to see Gore's head on my chest staring at me with concern in his red eyes silent but ever watchful. I rub his head and scratch his ear to let him know i've calmed down and am back to my usual self I prop myself up on my elbows, making sure not to make any unwanted noise. What time is it?

Glad to know somethings never change…

I glance at the clock across the room, it reads 10:45am

Later than I usually sleep til, why didn't Gore wake me like usual?

I glance down at my companion and give him a questioning look, as if he knows what i'm thinking he buries his head in my blanket to hide from my gaze.

"You had one job Gore" I whisper quietly earning a quiet whine from the wolf.

I guess I should shower, don't want to give a wrong impression on my first real day.

The thought of being branded as that stinky guy from Atlas doesn't sit well with me…

I stand up working my way around the bed frame until finally finding my suitcase at the foot of the bed, it's a small suitcase nothing special all black with green around the edges. Upon finding the case I seat myself on the edge of the bed before opening it in order to pick out my clothes for the day. Once I have my clothes I close the suitcase and carefully place it back where it was and stumble my way through the poorly lit dorm room to find the bathroom, Gore following me closely the whole way.

He must still be nervous in these new surroundings if he's acting like this.

When I finally manage to get to the bathroom I walk in setting my clothes down on the counter to my left, taking a quick look in the mirror I notice just how exhausted I look.

The long trip getting here really didn't do me any favors.

I then turn realizing that Gore has followed me into the bathroom

"You've got to be kidding me dude, wait outside! Guard like usual." I whisper the command softly but my companion hears it, and reluctantly makes his way out of the bathroom before sitting down just past the door frame. After he is out I close and lock the door before starting the shower and climbing in, making quick but thorough work of cleaning making sure to wash myself entirely from the neck down before moving onto my hair which gets a quick shot of soap and a good lather before rinsing off entirely and drying myself with a towel I found on the nearby peg on the wall. The towel I decided to borrow is a black towel with a symbol in the center resembling a lotus blossom in pink.

Hope they don't mind.

When i'm dry I place the towel back where I found it before I dress myself, going with my usual attire the white collared shirt that is tucked into a pair of black baggy sweat pants with a green stripe. Over my shirt I slip on my blue blazer before attaching my leather satchel to my waist leaving it to hang over my right hip. And finally slipping on my black combat boots and lacing them tight. With one last look in the mirror i'm satisfied with how I look and decide that it's time to get something to eat.

To bad I have absolutely no idea where to go to get food….eh whatever ill wing it.

I open the door to the bathroom Gore turning to face me the moment the door opens, I then head to the front door just before I open the door I realize something that makes me pause for a moment.

Maybe I should check the hallway first seeing how Gore has been acting lately.

I whisper the command to stay to my companion as I crack the door stepping out into the hallway. I look to my left and right seeing that no one is around as I start to turn back to the door I just exited when i'm surprised to have someone collide with me their head slamming into my chest. I look down to see a very attractive girl dressed in yellow and black.

Well this morning just got interesting.

She takes a step back and scans her eyes over me saying nothing, presumably examining me and trying to figure out who I am. While I myself am distracted by the low cut yellow shirt she is wearing.

Keep your head straight dammit, say something witty impress her!

I finally compose myself enough to say something "Heh enjoying the view are ya? Well that makes two of us."

Good job jackass now you sound like an asshole!

Well that didn't go how I had planned, she is clearly irritated at my semi rude comment and I can see her eyes begin to take on a faint shade of red. I quickly become distracted again by cleavage and continue staring at this amazing girl. "Keep your eyes up bud" I hear her shout in a harsh tone. Her comment falls on deaf ears as i continue to stare.

Get yourself together, This is just pathetic!

I snap out of my trance, she is really annoyed at this point "Do you even know who I am!" She growls angrily at me. Those lilac eyes of hers becoming an even darker shade of red.

ugh...gotta think of something to say, oh I got it.

I compose myself and respond, "Unfortunately not i'm afraid, you see I am quite new here infact just got here yesterday. The names Jason Vidar pleasure to meet you." I even impress myself with how well the sentence came out. This seems to calm her down and her eyes fade back to normal that beautiful shade of lilac.

Thank god I thought she was gonna kill me.

I reach my hand out for her to shake, in an attempt to defuse any remaining tension. She grabs my hand and shakes it firmly obviously as a show of her strength, little does she know i've had worse "Im Yang, likewise."

Yang hmm interesting name.

"So I take it that you must be the new transfer student from Atlas?"

Word travels fast here, i'll have to make note of that.

"Yeah thats me, I see that news travels fast around here." I say in my normal laid back tone, feeling a little more comfortable now.

"Yeah it tends to do that, but of course it's not every day someone transfers all the way from Atlas."

"Thats fair enough I suppose" I say as I start to turn back to the dorm room door to let Gore out, whistling quietly but sharply into the room. Not long after my whistle Gore walks out of the room and sits next to my feet I close the door behind him, then he notices Yang standing there and devotes all of his attention to her not being sure if she is to be treated as a friend or a foe. As Gore stares at Yang I notice that she doesn't seem to be afraid but more curious, surprising.

"Oh where are my manners this is my companion Gore...And Gore this is Yang she is from across the hall." Gore dips his head at his introduction though never taking his eyes off of Yang.

Oh maybe she can show me where to get food! Ok play it cool.

"Also I have a small favor to ask of you Yang, I was thinking of getting some grub. Although I have to admit I don't quite know the way being new here and all. Could you possibly show me around the school I wasn't really given a tour yesterday?" Perfect.

"Sure, Sorry about how I acted earlier I have a reputation for anger." I hold my hand up to silence her while simultaneously shaking my head gently side to side. I then lean down and give Gore a scratch behind the ear as a signal to calm down which causes his tail to wag. We begin walking down the hall headed to the cafeteria.

Well it's a good first day so far, hopefully it stays that way…

**Several Hours Later in the Sparring arena**

Yang and I are standing on opposite ends of the arena facing each other both in combat gear. Yang's just being her usual clothes it doesn't seem her style to wear armour, I on the other hand have opted to wear my chest piece and helmet. It isn't anything spectacular with the chestpiece just being fully green and the helmet being black, but it does its job giving me some extra defense especially from melee attacks. Although i'm not certain about what it'll be able to do against Yang...

We both have our weapons drawn my own Forest Caliber, the spear and dart gun hybrid already extended to its full length with the blunt end at my left hip with the tip of the spear pointed at Yang. In addition to Forest Caliber I also have my secret weapon but I dont think ill need it, I have my right hand forward along with my right foot which causes me to be turned slightly making me less of a target for ranged combat. Nothing left for me to do but wait for the match to begin. Yang on the opposite side of me with her weapon Ember Celica, I haven't gotten a good look at it yet but the weapon appears to be a set of gauntlets with some sort of projectile launching capability. But it makes no difference i'll be winning this fight either way.

Or at least I hope...

As confident as I am with my combat abilities I am facing an opponent that I know almost nothing about, from our earlier discussion in the cafeteria i've figured out that her rage has something to do with her aura and her strength but have nothing else to go on. If I can manage to avoid being hit by her initial barrages I should be able to whittle her down bit by bit with little to no damage to myself.

I need to play this defensively

Professor Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch are monitoring the fight from the stands, a screen in front of the two of them displaying both Yang and I's aura levels. "Are both fighters ready?" Glynda's voice comes over the speaker. Yang and I both nod, "Then you may begin" the voice echoes.

Yang charges me, her hands raised in what seems to me to be a boxing stance. I quickly side step to avoid her attack, bringing my spear up blocking her adjusted punch with ease. Now that her momentum shift has left her off balance I take advantage, quickly adjusting my stance switching my left foot forward and bringing the blunt end of my spear from my hip and bringing it around sweeping Yang's feet out from under her. The blond girl lands hard on her back, I take the opportunity to back away from Yang as she is getting up giving myself room to prepare for her next attack. I do so by resetting my stance, moving my right foot making it the lead again.

When Yang is back on her feet I notice that her eyes are now a light shade of red signaling her distaste for my last move. She hesitates to charge again, choosing to instead move in slowly staying out of the range of my spear but close enough a short lunge will bring her within striking distance of me. I watch her closely watching her every move closely while trying to predict when she will decide to make her next move, the answer not long because seconds later she lunges throwing a powerful left hook, I manage to block it though just barely. Brushing her fist off with the tip end of my spear I notice that Yang has left her midsection exposed, I seize the opportunity putting the full force of my left arm into the strike I slam the blunt end of my spear into Yang's left thigh connecting perfectly to her exposed side causing her to produce a loud cry of pain.

Not wanting to get greedy I lung backwards putting a fair amount of space between the blond boxer and myself, yet again resetting my stance. When Yang's eyes come back to me they are a dark red with no trace of her usual lilac color to be seen, I can also feel the heat radiating from her aura being flared.

Staying at range is probably my best option now

Knowing that getting in range of Yang's attacks now is probably a fatal mistake I decide to switch my weapon to its ranged mode. I break Forest Caliber down into its range mode by pressing a button about two feet down from the tip of the weapon and twisting this action releases the head of the spear, which becomes a makeshift dagger that I quickly clip to my right hip just above my ammo pouch. This at the same time exposes the barrel to the modified dart gun that is hiding underneath. It is designed to fire small darts that have been modified to carry a decent amount of dust, that depending on the color of the dust have different effects on the target and environment. The whole process of changing the weapon mode takes about four seconds from start to finish, since I now am in ranged mode I switch my weapon from my right hand to my left since I prefer to have my right hand be the one to reload the weapon.

I now stand with the dart rifle level pointed at yang, with my right hand I reach down to my ammo pouch that is at my hip and grab a blue dart the blue color that I hand painted onto it symbolizing that this particular dart is filled with white dust. I load the blue dart into the rifle and chamber it, I am now ready to fire. Yang who has still been skittish to attack again after being punished for her last two attempts begins to charge me yet again but this time at a slower pace presumably so that if I dodge again she won't be left off balance like before, but dodging isn't my intention well at least not yet anyway. When yang is within ten feet of me I lower the barrel of the rifle and fire the dart at the ground when it makes contact it detonates causing the surrounding area to be covered in a thin layer of ice. Sadly my plan doesn't go the way I was expecting her aura is too hot the ice melts when she steps on it

Oh shit...well time for plan B

I jump to the left and roll when I land to help give me the extra separation between myself and the now furious Yang, after I recover from my role turning around to be able to see my opponent. I hear a click but before I can place it I am immediately blasted by yang's gauntlets.

Well I guess its a shotgun hybrid.

Then i'm flying backwards towards the other end of the room before slamming into the floor, I get back to my feet fairly quickly stumbling slightly when I stand but it seems that my chestpiece took the brunt of the shot. So besides a bruised rib or two I'm ok, or at least I think. I raise my weapon and with my right hand reach for another dart a red one this time loading it and chambering the round in, before leveling the rifle and putting my target in between the sights. Yang is coming at me again making up for the distance her shot flung me, very quickly closing the gap from 20 feet to 15 in less than a second. I pull the trigger, the dart traveling towards its target. Time seems to slow down as I watch the dart fly, it closes the remaining distance in a half a second before the tip of the dart connects with yang hitting her directly on her right thigh exploding on impact blowing her off balance. Exactly where I wanted it to, she cries out in pain before falling to her knees...Yang now having both of her hip joints badly hurt her mobility is shot and she has no chance of winning this match.

It's time to end this…

I change Forest Caliber back to its melee form adjusting my hands and feet to match my usual melee stance before moving up to her. I put the spear tip inches away from her throat a signal to surrender, unfortunately Yang is stubborn and tries to stand her legs buckling slightly but she forces herself up.

Yang please…

I feel awful, I like Yang at least so far she's very hard headed and overly confident but there is something else there something that makes me feel horrible seeing her like this.

"Yang it's over just give it up, please." I manage in my usual tone, not showing my true emotions that are currently filling my mind, it's killing me inside to see her like this. But I have no clue why I am feeling like this, i've only known this girl for a total of a few hours but my emotions are fucking with me hardcore.

God I hate feelings

"I know you haven't known me that long but I never give up." Her tone is flat showing no emotion, but her face is nothing but serious. I hesitate but knowing I have no other option I bring my spear back up, I swing the blunt end of my weapon around connecting with the side of her head knocking her unconscious on contact. I channel my aura into my weapon causing it to retract down to about a two foot length and sling it over my left shoulder, before lowering myself down to my knees and removing my helmet my emerald hair now exposed.

I set the helmet on the floor near Yang's head, I feel like i'm going crazy my emotions running rampant everything is becoming a blur i've lost track of what's happening Gore is next to me now I lean against him putting my arm around my companion now realizing that my chest hurts a lot more than I had noticed before. Everything is engulfed in a blinding light I feel myself fall and then there is nothing but darkness.
