Hey guys chapter 4 is here. Thank you to whoever liked my page Surviving as traitors. That truly means a lot to me. If you have any questions post them on there. I will know. And I will answer. NOW LET US COMMENCE THE STORY... That sounded better in my head... Oh well to the story.
Chapter 4: Bullies and Repairs
I woke up to knocking at the door. Knowing how everyone else sleeps I get off my bed and answer. As soon as I open the door Team RWBY was there waiting.
"Yeah? What do you want?" I ask tiredly.
"You do know we have classes today right?" asks Ruby.
"That's today? Alright give me a minute. And hold this door open." I walk back into the room and grab a flash-bang grenade. I then head to the door.
"What are you doing?" asks Yang raising an eyebrow.
"We usually wake up to a loud siren. So this will have to do." I pull the pin, toss the grenade into the room, and quickly shut the door. Soon a loud bang is heard along with people falling. I open the door and see my friends on the ground. Weapons ready. I stand there and grin at them. "Morning fellas."
"WAS THAT YOU ASSHAT!" Yelled Ghost.
"Yup. Now get up. We apparently have classes to get to. Also breakfast is being served." I grab my helmet and gear. Just before I leave the room I look back to them. "Also if there's bacon... You know I'll eat it all." All of them rush to get there gear together while I just walk to the cafeteria with team RWBY.
We get to the cafeteria and I look at the food we can get. Scrambled eggs, Bacon, Sausage, waffles, Pancakes, and toast. I grab two waffles, scrambled eggs, Lots of bacon, some sausage, and some syrup. I also grab a huge cup of coffee and sit down with the others. I put all the food on one waffle, pour on the syrup and put the other waffle on top. "Sandwich of the gods." The others come in and see what I did. They look at each other, get the same things, and do the same thing. Soon after I finish and put my helmet back on, another group joined us and I instinctively reached for my sword. Yang sees this and puts a hand on my shoulder.
"Whoa there buddy. Calm down. This is team JNPR they're friendly." I look at her then back at team JNPR who was giving me weird looks. I take my hand off the sword and Yang turns to JNPR. "Sorry bout that guys. They're new and apparently people always try to kill them."
"Ooohhh. OK. Names Jaune." says the blonde haired boy.
"My name's Pyrrha." Said the red haired girl.
"NORA!" Exclaimed... Well Nora.
"Ren." Said the boy in Green.
"Nice to meet you. Names Snow." Says... Well you know. Snow.
"Name's Phoenix."
"I'm Ghost."
They all look at me waiting to see who I am. "Shadow."
"Those are some... interesting names." Says Pyrrha.
"Ooooohhh. Ren look. His face looks like a skeleton skull." Says Nora getting close to my face. I reach for my sword again but Yang intervenes.
"Nora. Shadow isn't really comfortable with people getting close to his face."
"Oh. Alright then." Nora goes back to sitting by Ren and I relax. The rest of the time was spent with everyone talking.
We get to our first class which was Grimm Studies. The class was boring and I didn't pay much attention to it due to the mass amount of stories the teacher was telling. I tried to keep my head up but I was slowly starting to fall asleep. Must stay awake. Must stay... Fuck it. My head hits the table and I pass out.
Soon I feel someone kick my leg and I wake up to see our teacher Professor Port staring at me. "Is there a reason you are ignoring me Mr. Shadow."
By now everyone was looking at me and I think I heard someone snicker. "Yeah. I'm a soldier who has fought in many wars against worst creatures and worst odds and have gotten out alive every single time. Not to mention I only got in here due to killing a pack of Beowolves and Killing the alpha bare handed alone. So what I don't understand is why I'm stuck here listening to a lecture when I could just be killing like I know how to do best."
The class was silent and professor port didn't know what to say. "Well if you think you can kill any Grimm out there come to the front of the class."
"Fine then." I put all my weapons on the table and go down to the front of the class with nothing but my armor and my bare hands. Professor Port went over to the cage.
"Now then. Lets see if what you say is true." I get in my fighting stance as Port breaks the lock. An Ursa bursts out and rushes me. I cock my hand back and just as the Ursa gets to me I punch through it's skull and rip out its skull with its spine attached. The class was in utter disbelief and I throw the skull and spine to the Professor and just go back to sitting down.
As soon as class was over we head to sparing class. Everyone but teams RWBY and JNPR steered clear of me after the display I made. We all sit together in the class as the bell rings. Goodwitch stands at the front of the stage and starts to speak.
"Okay today's match will be Shadow vs Cardin Winchester." Cardin gets up and heads for the stage while I stay sitting. "Is there a problem Shadow?"
"Why don't we make this fair. How about all of team CRDL vs me." Goodwitch looks at me.
"Very well then. Team CRDL take the stage." The rest of CRDL went to the stage and I stand up and walk down. As soon as we were all down there Goodwitch started the countdown. As soon as she reached one CRDL sprinted at me. They all hit me at the same time sending me flying. I hit the ground and as they come over, my body shimmers and vanishes.
"What the hell?!" says Cardin. I whistle and CRDL turns around. I'm standing there unharmed. "How are you still here?!"
"The real question is-" Three more of me step out from behind me. "-which is the real me." "And which is a hologram" finished the other three. Cardin doesn't even hesitate and charges me and the holograms. I meanwhile sneak up on the other three and knock them out while Cardin attacks all of the holograms. I sit there and watch until the last one disappears. I walk behind him and tap his shoulder. He turns around and knock him out. Goodwitch steps on stage.
"Nicely done shadow. You fooled your opponent with clones while you took out the other members."
"Actually they're holograms." I corrected as I stepped off stage.
"Well since that took longer than I thought it would. Class is dismissed."
Yang comes up behind me. "Holograms huh."
"It's a good distraction. And a great way to sneak in places." I respond.
"Well either way, it's awesome."
"What's next anyway?"
"Lunch."
"Then lets get going."
When we all get our lunch, which was pizza, we all sat down and started chatting. That's when I hear, "OW! Stop it!" I look over my shoulder to see Cardin bullying a girl with... Rabbit ears? I nudge Snow and he looks at me.
"Is it just me or does she have rabbit ears?" He looks at the girl.
"Nope she has rabbit ears."
I look to everyone at the table. "Does he usually pick on people?" everyone nods. "And no one decided to do anything about it?" They all shake their heads. I look to my teammates. "Hand over your knives everyone." Snow, Ghost, and Phoenix hand their knives to me and I take out my own. I hold the blade between my fingers and take aim at his hand. I throw the knife and it goes straight into his hand. He lets go of the girl's ear and screams in pain. I get up and walk over to him. "Aww. Does somebody have a boo boo." I tease him. I hear the guys crack up at that. Cardin just looks at me.
"You son of a Bitch! You'll pay for that!" Before he could blink I took out the knife in his hand and pined his legs and arms to the floor with the knives. By his clothing of course. He tries to get up and I just watch him struggle.
He finally stops and I look at him. "You done? Good. Now I think you owe someone an apology." I walk over to the girl and offer her my hand. She takes it hesitantly and I lead her over to Cardin.
"Why should I apologize to a Faunus?" He sneered.
"You'll apologize or end up like that Ursa in Grimm Studies." Cardin's face drained of all color as soon as I said that. "Now what will it be?"
"I'm sorry! OK! I'm sorry!" Cardin said with panic in his voice.
"Good boy." I slap his cheek lightly and pull out the knives. "Now go get your hand checked out. And if I ever see you picking on another student again... Well lets just say they don't call me the 'Shadow Of Death' for nothing." Cardin got up and sprinted out of there with his team close behind.
"Thank you." said the girl with rabbit ears.
"No problem. People are just dicks. If he ever tries this again just look for any one on team freelancer. We'll help no matter what." I walk back to the group and give the guys their knives back. "Hey I'm gonna go get the ship. Anyone want to come?"
"Sure I'll come." says Yang. No one else wanted to come so we head out to the crash site.
When we get to the crash site. I enter the ship while Yang waits outside. I go into the cockpit and take out the tracer. I come back out to meet her.
"Hey is there any deep lakes nearby?" I ask.
"Nope. Why?" She responds.
"I was going to throw the tracer in one. Now we have to do this the Shadow way."
"What's the Shadow way."
I throw the tracer into the air and shoot a rocket at it. The rocket hits and blows the tracer to pieces. I look to Yang. "That's the Shadow way. Blow shit up." I look at the ship and start to wonder. "Yang. How strong are you?"
"Pretty strong why?"
"I need to lift this ship that's why." She looks at me wide eyed.
"You can't pick up that ship! It's huge!"
"I have to try." I go over to the front of the ship and get ready to lift. I lift with everything I got and manage to carry the ship on my back. Yang just looks shocked. "Lets hurry back. This is really heavy."
We (meaning I) manage to get the ship back to the school. I go to the hanger and put it down right side up and look at the damage.
"Not too bad. It will take me at least three months to fix this thing."
"You can get it done that fast?"
"If I can get the parts for it. But that's the hard part." I hop off the pelican. "Well shall we head back?"
"We shall." We start to walk back and I notice Yang keeps looking at me. Why is she looking at me? I thought.
Why do I feel like I'm safe around him? Wait... Am I... Falling for him? Yang thought. I think I have.
To a ship over the planet
"Ma'am the tracer stopped functioning." said the man at the monitor.
"Send down Fireteam Majestic with orders to recon only. No engagement. I want tabs on where Fireteam Crimson went." said a woman in armor like Snow's.
"Yes Ma'am."
Well Crimson. We found you. What will you do now?
A/N: Sweet. Another chapter done and with some one after me and the guys. Also looks like Yang is falling for me. Things are taking an interesting turn. Till next week I'm gone.
