Chapter 3
Shadow: 'This scroll here is very helpful for communications' thought shadow as he was reading the message from Ozpin to stay in the Dorm next to team RWBY. He decided to go see what his team was up to so he walked in the door to see what was up.
Shadow: "Hey guys what's up?"
Ruby: "Nothing much but…."
Shadow: "But what?"
He noticed that everyone was kind of looking around him and all of that but then he realized they still had some questions for him.
Shadow: "I know you all have questions so go ahead and ask.
Weiss: "What role did you play with your team when you went to retrieve the artifact?"
Shadow: "I was the team leader due to the fact I have the most experience as a leader and for being one of the oldest SBH"
Blake: "I know the military has ranks what was yours if your military had ranks?"
Shadow: "I was a Marshall Commander the only people higher than me were the Generals and the Supreme Commander himself. "
Ruby was fidgeting in excitement and Yang told him that she was so into weapons so he guessed that is what she wanted to see.
Shadow: "Ruby you want to see my weapons in action don't you?"
Ruby: "YES YES YES YES"
Shadow: "I will show you in time now is there any other questions?"
The girls said nothing.
Shadow: "Im off to bed see you all tomorrow."
Shadow went into his room thinking that these people were now his closest friends but the guilt of him leading that team into a artifact he knew potentially could take them somewhere where no one would find them and decided to not be cautious. He felt like it was his fault. As he slept he had many dreams of his team and horrible nightmares. But there was one that caught his attention.
In the dream he was standing on a podium tied down and people were spitting on him and kicking him and punching him, and calling him butcher and a failure to the republic. Then he saw a big man carrying a mace and was running towards him screaming. Shadow quickly got up and pulled out his weapon but then he heard what the man was actually saying.
"Shadow! Wake up! Wake up!"
Shadow then suddenly awoke only to find he was pointing a weapon at a very terrified looking Blake. From the way the light was it seemed like very early morning.
Shadow: "Blake what are you doing here?!"
Blake: "I heard you yelling and screaming from the top of your lungs so I came to see what was going on. It sounds like you were having a nightmare."
Shadow: "Yeah I was….."
Blake: "Do you want to talk about it?"
Shadow: "Blake I'm fine now please go back to your dorm I don't want you getting hurt…"
Blake exited the dorm and Shadow spent the rest of the morning making sure his weapons and armor were in good condition. He was going to do something daring at his combat training class. He was going to take on a entire team using his fists. But then he remembered that he had a couple other classes before that. So he would have to wait.
The morning bell sounded and Shadow walked with team RWBY for their first class of the day, Grimm Studies with Professor Port. The good thing that Shadow didn't have to do was wear a uniform because he talked about how SBH almost never take their armor off no matter what. Shadow was falling sleeping due to the boring tales of Professor Port. When suddenly Port asks him this.
Port: "Do you have what it takes to be a Hunter?"
Shadow: "Of course I do…"
Port: "Then come down and face your enemy!"
Shadow smirked as he got up and walked to the front of the class and faced a rather large cage from the looks of it he would be fighting a Beowolf.
Port: "Begin!" As he sliced the cage open revealing one of the strongest Beowolfs a very high class one.
Ruby: "You can do it Shadow!"
Shadow remembered Ruby wanted to see the rest of his weapons so he decided to start off with the Twin pistols. He shot quite a few rounds into the creatures legs to slow him down. Then he took out his DC17M and fired a few rounds into his face one of them striking his eye and stunning him for a second. He used this time to change his weapon into a sniper rifle and took out the other eye. Then he changed it once again into a Grenade launcher and aimed for hip and blew up his legs and hip. The creature roared and started to swing wildly managing to hit shadow but his armor protected him from the attack. He then jumped up and activated his hidden blades and stabbed the creature in the jugular killing the creature instantly. He then put his weapons away and walked back to his desk. The whole class was stunned to see what just happened."
Port: "That was the first time I have seen a student take out that high of a Beowolf so quickly and without injury. Good work! Class dismissed!"
Shadow walked out where he was meet by a very execited team RWBY.
Ruby: "THAT WAS AWESOME SHADOW!"
Weiss: "Did you have to blow its legs off?"
Shadow: "Yes…"
Yang: "Good work shadow now we got Combat Training."
Shadow started grinning as they had no idea what he was about to do.
Yang: "Shadow are you alright?"
Shadow: "Yes Yang I'm just fine..."
-To Combat Training class-
Goodwitch: "You will be facing one opponent at a time now next up is-
Shadow raised his hand
Goodwitch: "Yes shadow?"
Shadow: "If you don't mind I would like to face a entire team." Everyone was murmuring and going like "Is he insane" Shadow then added "And I want to face them without my weapons just with my bare hands" Everyone gasped at the last part.
Goodwitch: "Shadow are you su-"
Shadow "I'm positive"
Goodwitch then called team CRDL down to face Shadow. Before he walked to the Arena he was met by Blake.
Blake: "Shadow please be careful"
Shadow: "I don't need to be I will be fine"
Shadow walked onto the arena and waited for the counter to go down. After a minute the bell rang and team CRDL charged him with their weapons of course. Shadow then waited for one of them to get close then he grabbed his weapon and disarmed him then kicked him so hard that he flew past the arena and out the window that happened to be open. Then He took another one and picked him up and spun and them him into another one of the teammates knocking them both out instantly. Then Cardin stood there and Shadow was waiting for him to make a move but then Shadow was surprised at what Cardin started to say.
Cardin: "So the brave Shadow can fight. Tell me this Shadow do you think you can lead after what you did to your teammates? Your actions caused them to get separated and I bet they are dead you are a FAILURE and you know what else? You're a Butcher!" Cardin said this and started laughing.
Shadow: 'NOW HE IS GOING TO PAY'
Shadow: Then Ran so fast at Cardin he didn't have time to react before being met by a fist that knocked him to the middle of the arena. He tried to get up but then saw a big black ball of fire coming down towards him and then noticed Shadow body slamming him. He then was met by a series of punches to the face. By the time it was over Cardin was beaten to a bloody pulp and was bleeding out. Shadow then walked past the crowd and out of the room to the Emerald forest as he learned where he was.
-Blake POV-
'He must be taken getting separated by his team hard… I guess that is what his nightmare was about…But I think I'm falling for Shadow for some reason. I must go see where he went I'm worried about him.'
Yang: "Blake where are you going?"
Blake didn't say anything as she went out the classroom and followed shadow. Blake then walked out and instantly heard yelling. She went to a tree and was watching a very angry shadow just punching a tree and yelling.
Shadow: "IT'S MY FAULT. I GOT MY TEAM KILLED AND NOW EVERYONE THINKS IM A PSYCHOPATH GOD DANG IT!"
'I didn't know he would be hurting this bad about it.' Thought Blake
She decided to be brave and walk up to him.
-Shadow POV-
Shadow heard footsteps and was about to wail a punch to whoever it was until he heard it was Blake's voice. "Shadow calm down please"
Shadow for some reason started to calm down. Normally it would take Jared to calm him down otherwise his anger would have had to run its course. But something about Blake just calmed him down.
Shadow: "I'm sorry you had to see that Blake I sometimes lose my mind when I get very angry. People think I'm a psycho now."
Blake: "No they don't Shadow they heard what Cardin said and they know about what happened they understand."
Shadow: 'I have come to the conclusion that these strange feeling I have are from me falling in love with Blake might as well tell her now and not keep secrets"
Shadow: "B-Blake there is something I have to confess"
Blake: "What is it Shadow"
Shadow: 'WHY ARE YOU NERVOUS SHADOW YOU CAN JUST CONFESS IT YOU ARE A SBH'
Blake: "Shadow is something-" She was cut off by Shadow pulling her in for a quick peck on the lips and then hugged her."
Shadow: "Blake I-I- he was cut off as Blake pulled him in for a kiss this time a more passionate one.
Blake: "Shadow I love you too"
Shadow for the first time in years smiled and hugged Blake.
Shadow: "Let's get back to the others shall we?"
Blake nodded and they headed back to Beacon together with their new found relationship.
