Just wanted to say sorry about the quality of the previous chapter's quality, I'm hoping that this one will be a lot better. Also sorry about how long it's taking to bring out each chapter, exams n' shit. Sorry that I suck at writing combat, this is my first time doing this.

Buy the way if I use (') instead of (") during dialogue, it means it's a thought.

I don't own RWBY.

Dove stared at the large beast as it's corrupt red eyes glared back at him, it was a lot smaller than the major he had fled from in the real forever falls. Everything around him seemed fake, almost too clean and smooth to be real.

The ursa roared at him as it remained stationary, seeming to wait for him to act, instead he stood still, cautiously removing his sword from his belt.

Seemingly angered by his lack of movement, the beast made the first move, leaping at him with it's claws ready to attack. It made a gut wrenching howl as it swiped both claws, intent on killing him quickly.

Dove dodged the swing and jumped backwards, raising his sword he fired several shots from the hip, each connecting with the ursa's head, it stumbled back, but simply growled as it began it's next attack.

Going for a different approach it kept low as it charged and made a swipe at Dove's feet, he stumbled back and it made another swipe aimed at his chest, Dove flipped back, briefly landing on his hand and then flipping onto his feet.

He clutched his sword tightly as he waited. The ursa charged once again, raising it's upper body it readied itself for a massive slam attack.

Dove opened his eyes slightly as he stared at the ursa. He dived away quickly and narrowly dodged it's massive slam. He tried not to be blown back by the force of the blow, the ursa raised it's head in confusion, trying to find it's target. Using this opportunity, Dove sprinted at the beast and with all the force in his arms, shoved his sword into the beasts neck, firing several shots into it's flesh as it howled in agony.

Dove retracted his sword as the beast fell to the floor in a heap of black fur, after a few seconds it's corpse began to dissolve.

'Just like real Grimm' Dove grimaced.

"Training session completed" The female voiced boomed once again.

"Aura loss: minimal"

"Difficulty level: 4"

"Performance rating: A"

Dove wasn't going to allow himself to be fooled by the rating, you could go up against a baby beowolf and still get an A rating.

'See, it's not that hard' he smiled to himself

"Would you like to go again?" The voice questioned.

Dove looked at the clock on the wall. Wow.

'Already 15 minutes?' he thought as his attention drifted to the training battle.

"Only here for an hour" He mumbled to himself once again as he pressed a large button on the screen.

"Restarting training in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."

Dove breathed heavily as the ursa fell before him. His damp blonde hair clung to his sweaty forehead, his stance was off and his arms hung by his sides. He stared at his scroll and groaned when he read the the time, 21:30.

"Training sessions completed: 7"

"Aura loss: major"

"Difficulty level: 4"

"Performance rating: C-"

"Warning: Do not continue training"

Dove wanted to scream as he heard his results and by how much his performance had dropped. He had always been one to take training and classes very seriously. He sluggishly made his way to the training panel to restart the training, but was instead met with a message. 'Warning, aura levels in red, critically low, cease training immediately and rest'. Dove grunted angrily as he stared at the screen.

After a moment of silent thinking he disregarded the warning and began to enter Sky's information in to the database.

Student Name: Sky Lark

Team: CRDL

Student ID: 0616-LAUFEY

Dove didn't bother changing the settings. The room remained as it was and three beowolfs slowly began to materialize in front of him.

'Just a couple of beowolfs' he smirked confidently

One charged as the other two held back. It's attack was clumsy and Dove easily side stepped it and slashed his sword down the back of it's raven-black neck, it stumbled forward and fell to the ground.

Seemingly angered by this, the other began it's assualt, Dove fired his pistol enough to bring one to it's knees, he began to change his stance and readied himself to slash the other as it came closer.

'It's just a beowolf' he thought

*Crack*

Dove felt a sharp pain in his ankle as he put pressure on it to assume his stance, the sudden pain caused him to loose his balance.

He glared upwards to see the beowolf mere feet away from him. In the split second before it could dig it's claws into his face, he stuck his sword arm in front of his face. The sharp white claws scratching his vambrace to the point of making gashes in it, the force of the blow sent him flying backwards.

He shakily got up from the floor and checked for the enemy, his vision was blurry but he was able to spot the beowolfs, the one he had previously incapacitated had gotten up and had rejoined the other.

Dove's blood began to boil as he stared at the two black shadows in front of him. The way those red eyes stared back like he nothing more than food. How could he be losing to a beowolf?

"AARRGHH" Dove charged at the beowolfs, effectively taking them by surprise.

Slicing the head off of one and then stabbing the other in it's stomach all in one fluid motion. The first fell to the floor and evaporated while the other screamed in pain in an eerily human manner. Dove silenced it by shoving his sword down it's throat after tearing it out of the creatures stomach.

"Training session com..." Dove tuned the mechanical voice out as he stumbled lifelessly towards the panel towards the panel.

He felt a hot burning feeling in his ankle every time he took a step, as if it would explode if too much pressure was applied.

He rested his hand on the panel as he went to restart the session for what felt like the thousandth time, the time limit he had set himself had completely abandoned his thoughts.

"Hey!" A voice brought him out of his thoughts.

'Oh for Fu-'

"Maybe you should stop training.. you don't look so good" He turned to see who it was, even though he already knew exactly who was talking.

Team JNPR stood staring at him, each with varying degrees of surprise and astonishment evident on their faces.

'Great...these guys' Dove felt like jumping out a window.
