Chapter 4: Damsel in distress

A couple of days had passed since the incident with Cardin, everyone had noticed that Jaune had been hanging around Cardin and Pyrrha seemed a bit off too. Team Noctis was eating when Velvet decided to sit with them, everyone greeted her and treated her kindly, Prompto had asked if she's had anymore problems with Cardin, she stated that Cardin had been bullying Jaune for the last couple of days and that Cardin had been sending him to fetch monsters. This update had everyone a bit worried so they decided to keep an eye on Juane. The day before their excursion Noctis and his team decided it was time to take action against Cardin. They decided to wait till the excursions so they can separate Cardin, Jaune and his friends from the rest of the group.

The next day Noct and his friends begin to keep a close eye on Jaune, watching and waiting till they separate from the rest of the group. Noctis throws his engine blade to the top of tall tree and watches from above, Prompto slides from cover to cover hiding behind rocks and various bushes, while Ignis and Gladio stay behind and wait for Nocts signal. Prompto sits in bush watching Cardin and Juane talk when suddenly Jaune is attacked by Cardin, Prompto tries to rush in but then notices a box full of grimm. He notices that the grimm seem to changing, the grimm begin to be shrouded by a dark cloud, Prompto steps back in shock and quietly says to himself "the star scourge". The creatures begin to fuse and create a bigger daemon, Noctis notices the grimm and throws a fire grenade signaling Ignis and gladio. The deformed creature begins to rush towards Jaune when a giant bear like grimm appears out of the forrest.

The daemon begins to absorb the grimm becoming bigger and shaping out like a bear. Noctis notices the irregular transformation and decides to push it out of his mind and prepares himself for battle. Prompto shoots a flare in the sky stunning the creature temporarily, Noctis then warps from his tree directly into the daemon, flipping it over. Pyrrha suddenly rushes into battle out of nowhere, she jumps in air, makes her spear and stabs it into the belly of the beaseeet, she then switches to her riffle placing it into the wound she just made and begins to open fire. The daemon groans but suddenly it picks up Pyrrha and slams her into the floor, Noctis and Prompto rush into battle while Jaune watches them from a distance. "I don't want to be the damsel in distress" Jaune cried and picks up his sword rushing to aid of Noctis and Prompto. The daemon uses both paws to attack Noct and Prompto, the catch the attacks and notice Jaune running towards them, Prompto shoots out another flare stunning the daemon and Noctis summons his shield and slams it into the daemon leaving it off balance, Jaune then rushes in for the final attack and cuts the daemons head off.

After the fight Jaune had stepped away to deal with Cardin, Pyrrha smiled from a distance, she was proud of Jaune. "What the heck was that?" Prompto said, Ignis replied "It would appear that the star scourge can take over grimm". Noctis zones out and hears a small weak voice "N..n..noct", Suddenly a black puddle appears in front of Noctis and a blade slowly begins to rise up, the blade was red and looked exactly like the blade of the mystic. Noctis knew who's blade it was, it was Ardyns.
