Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. Just my OC's
After Yang stopped chasing me through the halls of Beacon, which is a very large school by the way, it was around lunch time so In proposed to Yang we stop and get something to eat. She, surprisingly agreed. The walk back was very awkward as she kept prodding me about Inferno, and what he meant, how long had I known him and what he can do. I just gave her the truth and said that I don't know how he fights, that that's more of a question for Theo, because each time he has gotten out, Theo has always been there to stop me? Him? One of us. Other than a couple of mess ups in training and staying up to late, nothing much happened for a couple of weeks. Until one day at lunch.
"So... there we were... in the middle of the night."
"It was day."
"We were surrounded my Ursai"
"They were Beowolves."
"DOZENS OF THEM!"
"Two of them..
"But they were no match, and in the end, Ren and I took them down, and made a boatload of Lien selling Ursa skin rugs!"
"Ah... She's been having this reoccurring dream for nearly a month now."
"Ren, how many versions of this story have you heard from Nora?"
"Around 5 or so."
"Jaune, are you okay?" Nice transition there Pyrrha. Can't stand to hear another story from Nora's energetic mind."
"Uh... Oh yeah! why?"
"It just seems your a little not... okay..."
"Eh, guys, I'm fine... seriously, look!" Who is he trying to fool? Himself. He looks distraught.
What is that? Cardin picking on Velvet again?! I am sick and tired of him.
"Jaune, Cardin has been picking on you since the first week of school."
"Who? Cardin Winchester? Nah... He just likes to mess around you know.."
I can't take this anymore, with Jaune not sticking up for himself, Cardin straight up abusing Velvet, and the school not reacting to it even though they know what's going on.
"Yo, Pyro? Where you going man?"
"To do something I should have done a long time ago." I'm done looking at Cardin torture other Faunas but not to arose suspicion from my friends I'm gunna throw away my food and then head over to Cardin.
"I didn't land far from the school."
"Jaune, you know if you ever need help you can just ask." At least Pyrrha is trying to talk some sense into him. Either way drowning them out.
"CARDIN!"
"What do you want tiger boy? Can't you see I'm busy." All of his little cronies are laughing like he's some sort person to be worshipped.
"If you don't let go of her ears, I will rip off you legs and shove them so far up your ass, you will taste the bottom of your shoe."
"You wanna run that by me again, I'm afraid I didn't quite hear you?"
"I don't repeat myself to people that are no better than the Grimm we are here to fight. Now. Let. Her. Go."
"You think that you're better than me. Well I got a news flash for you kid. I'm gunna send you back home in a body bag."
He tried to take a swing at me but he is ungodly slow compared to Yang. I step out of the way of his fist and throw him onto the table. I jump on him and activate P&T having one of my clawed gauntlets around his throat and the other pulled back to strike. He honestly looks terrified. Good then it's working. I don't know why but I feel there's heat coming from my back but it doesn't feel like someone's pressing something into my back. Oh, well time to make my point.
"Cardin, listen to me and listen to me well, if I ever see you hurt, abuse, or bully another Faunas, or my friends, for that matter, again. I will forcibly let him out and let him deal with you. Am I clear?"
"Bite me animal."
"As you wish." I bite into his shoulder and then withdrew to see that I drew a fair amount of blood. I then threw him against the wall and proceeded to walk out of the cafeteria. I didn't care how much of a crowd I drew, I made my point and I didn't care.
*Will Mister Treygen please come to my office immediately.* Great, Ozpin found out fast.
"Mr. Treygen do you know why I called you here?"
"I have an inkling it has to do with what just happened in the cafeteria. And frankly I don't really care. Asshole deserved it."
"And pray do tell why he deserved it." Really? There isn't a thing that doesn't happen in this school that you don't know about.
"Ozpin do I need to spell it out, or was it not obvious?"
"Mr. Treygen, you will not have an attitude with the headmaster."
"Try me Goodwitch." ooh that hit home.
"Mr. Treygen that is enough, now I know why you are angry with Mr. Winchester but I will have to ask you to be respectful for you are in my office and at my school."
"Why, you haven't shown me respect. From what I've seen is that I'm treated just like any other Faunas . Just another street rat among the cats that doesn't belong."
"And what makes you think that?"
"Two things. First. Nothing has been done about Cardin. And second. You are now just taking an interest. So what if I threatened him. If the situation was reversed no one would have batted an eye and it pains me to think the school I had respected when I was younger would allow this kind of discrimination I had experienced all my life. And you humans wonder why we Faunas are so against you." I know it's harsh but it's true. All my life I've been hated just for the way I was born, and I'm sick and tired of it.
"Glynda, please leave. I believe your presence is no longer needed at the moment. Thank you."
"Of course professor." There was a hint of anger voice. I think I actually pissed her off.
"Pyro, do you know why I had you accepted into this school?"
"At the recommendation of someone named Dr. Goodman."
"Do you know who that is?"
"No, why is he someone important?"
"He's been missing for nearly ten years and then out of the blue he writes me a letter and says he wants you, even mentions you by name, that he wants you in Beacon. That is why I invited you here to beacon. Because a good friend of mine that I haven't seen in ten years told me that you had a lot of potential." Okay that's weird. I've never heard of Dr. Goodman but to have Ozpin say this was... weird.
"Now, as of today, because of your actions Cardin will be closely monitored both for the safety of others and his own. And I promise you, any more actions like the one's today will result in punishment. I thank you for understanding." I mean looking back on it. I did bite him so I can't be too mad.
"Professor Ozpin?" All I got was him looking up at me "I'm- I'm sorry for my words earlier."
"It's alright, I understand what can be said in the heat of emotions. Now get back to class before you're missed." I feel like a total shit bag. He knows what exactly to say. I guess people are right. The older you get the wiser you get.
(Back at PYRT's dorm)
Unfortunately I missed the class, but thankfully that was the last one of the day. Time to head back to the dorm and cool off, or train. One of the two.
"What the hell happened in the cafeteria today Pyro? How could you let him slip like that in front of all those people?"
"Theo what are you talking about? Inferno didn't come out at all. Considering I was in control of my body."
"Then how do you explain this then?" He pulled out his scroll and showed me a picture. It was me, but there was flames coming out of my back.
"Honestly I don't know, but maybe that's what I felt when I was on top of Cardin. Either way, who wants to go train? We got the rest of the day off if I'm not mistaken." Man I'm energetic today I seriously need to burn some energy.
"Wha- how come your so calm about this, aren't you supposed to be in trouble?"
"Nah, I will be if I ever do it again. Well, are you guys coming or not."
"Dah, friend. I will join you."
"Sure, we need to work on our strategies anyway."
"Theo everyone else is on board. You coming?"
"Ugh, fine lets go." Wow he really was upset about it. I'll apologize to him later but now it's time to train.
So training went well. I sparred against Theo. He's still using the same tricks as always. Always with the baiting for me to attack and trying to go for a feint. I'm gunna work with him later to go with a broader game plan.
Yosef and Racheal went up against each other. I'd say the match was pretty even. When Yosef tried to get up close and personal Racheal would just bounce away. When Racheal felt like she had the perfect shot to get on Yosef he just block it with Blue. The match really started to pick up when Racheal ran out of ammo to use for the fight. She then switched her automatic rifle to that of a small sword. It fit her perfectly for her style of melee combat was quick and Agile. While Yosef may have been quick, he certainly wasn't as fast as me or Racheal. But that doesn't mean he wasn't prepared for this fight. Racheal did win the fight, but only because she was faster than Yosef and she kept chipping away at his aura.
At the exact moment Racheal won the fight. Yang came bursting through the door to the training hall. She looked a little confused. I think that she didn't expect to find people currently in here.
"Yang? What are you doing here?"
"I came to workout but it looks like you four beat me to it. So how's everything going? That was pretty intense there at lunch."
"I think my dear friend Pyro can explain that one can't you friend?" What the shit Yosef? Why'd you throw me under the bus? Ugh either she's gunna want an explanation.
"Uh, Cardin hurt Velvet, I got mad. So I decided I've had enough. So I went over and hurt him and may have threatened to have ripped of his legs and shove them so far up his ass that he tasted his own shoe." Wow I said that without even blinking.
"You did WHAT?! I thought you said you were in control?!"
"I told you already, I was in control. I just happened to be very angry with a certain Racist. Anyways... Yang I believe that we're done here so it's all yours."
"Wait a minute there Tiger, you're staying here and your sparring with me." Wait is she serious? I look to my team to try and help me but it looks like they're already walking out. Not even giving me a second thought. I'm so getting them back for this.
"But Yangggg, I just sparred with Theo. I'm already tired."
"Don't care, the only way I get straight answers out of you is when we're fighting. Happened all the time back at Signal so lets go. She's not letting up is she? Here we go. I was never really good at fighting Yang at Signal and the fight here at Beacon didn't really boost my confidence.
Inferno... listen to me for once will ya? I don't want you coming out in this fight alright? No matter what happens got it?
Fine, fine. You have my word that I'll stay in my cage. I know how much you care for the Blondie but just so you know, I want hesitate to come out if anyone else tries to take your life. this is my body just as much it is yours.
Yeah I know. You did that with Cable and I still don't forgive you for that. I can't believe you broke his legs and shoved him into the beehive. He was in the hospital for a quite awhile because of that. I'm pretty sure he still is terrified of me.
Oh don't remind of that please. I usually can't stop laughing for at least a couple hours. His face was mixed with pain and fear all at the same time. It was hilarious.
It was not 'hilarious' and you know it. He's scarred for life and you don't even care do you.
"Hellooooo Remnant to Pyro. Anybody in there?"
"Huh, oh yeah. I'm here. Sorry Yang. I was just having a little conversation with Inferno about staying in his cage during our spar."
"So you can just talk to him at random when ever you want? Like he's another person?"
"Yep, he sees what I see, but when he takes over I'm locked out. Anyway let's get this out of the way, I need to go do homework."
We both were at the either end of the arena, each getting ready for our fight and the automated bell went off to signify that the match had started. She pushed herself forward with Ember Celica and tried to hit me with her patented right hook but I side stepped to my left to get out of the way. She brought her elbow back to slam it into my face but I saw this coming and I dropped to the ground and brought my leg into a sweep to get her off her feet. I connected and she hit the ground. I then grabbed her by the feet and tossed her across the arena. She landed into a roll and ended up back onto her feet. She then ran back towards me with another right hook. I don't know why she did it again considering I've already dodged it.
(3rd person view.)
What Pyro didn't know was Yang was feinting her attack. So when he sidestepped she brought her other fist right into his face. Stunning him for a second then proceeded to keep hitting him go for a uppercut then a one two combo then dropped kicked him across the stage. He got up and smirked.
"Now that's what I'm talking about. Whew. That was kick. Alright my turn. He himself charged in but being much faster than Yang he was able to slide underneath her kick, himself up and flipped over her head. He was moving too fast for her to keep an eye on him but as she saw him slide underneath her she turned around to se him not there.
"Boo!" Before she had time to react he had his left hand around her neck and the other pressed into her back lifting her up and slamming her into the ground. She bounced up and he took that time to lace his foot with his Aura and deliver a side kick to her stomach sending her crashing into the wall.
Much to his surprise she got up. She still had her trademark smile plastered across her face.
"That's a new trick you got there bud. Won't work again I assure you."
"It's more of a last ditch effort but looks like I need a new plan if I gunna come out on top."
This time they both charged in at the same time. Rushing in like bats outta hell. Both trying to get the upper hand of the other one. If someone was watching there little bout they would describe it as a dance. A perfect blend of Red and Yellow. A mix of explosions and grunts and shouts of pain could be heard from both fighters. The dance of colors finally ended when Yang had ducked under one of his slashes she unleashed all her pent up energy from the hits she has taken into one solid uppercut.
"Wow... That... Was... A hell of a fight... When did you get so good..."
"About the same time the team and I started doing team exercises. I've learned so much from them and I think I've also taught them some things as well. I most certainly have gotten better than my time at Signal."
"Yes you have. But you still can't beat me." Yang had a her trademark smile on her face while giving him a thumbs up.
"One day Yang, one day." He gave her a smile but not like hers. Because he had to go through two fights. One with his best friend and one with his secret crush. One she seemed to be oblivious to. She helped him up and dragged him to his dorm and dropped him off so that he can sleep off his pain.
And there's the fourth installment of A New Chance. I hope you all enjoyed it and don't forget to read and review. PEACE!
