N. Well Zachariah managed to dodge a bullet back there, but how will he handle the class trip to forever fall? Also heads up, bold font is the language of daemons which sounds like a mixture of latin and a gutteral language like german or something along those lines. Also another heads up there is a song from One Piece in this chapter that I sometime listen to when I write. All rights to their respective owners the only things I own are my OCs.

The Angel of Beacon Chapter Nine Threats made clearer and Warriors Born

Zachariah was sitting the bullhead a look of discomfort clear on his face as eh waited for them to arrive at the Forest of Forever Fall. "What's the matter Mr. Falconshield don't like flying?" Goodwitch said a smile starting to form on her lips.

Zachariah just looked at Goodwitch with a slightly amused expression nas he noticed the looks on all of the students faces. "Ha ha, very funny Goodwitch. I'll have you know it's not flying I have a probelm with, it's being stuck in a small metal space like this that upsets me." He then got a sarcastic grin on his face and said "It's similar to why you hate being on boats even though you can swim."

Goodwitch just looked shocked that Zacariah even knew about that let alone that he'd mention how she got nervous when traveling by sea in front of students. "Where did you hear that?" She asked a slight edge present in her voice.

"It's amazing what Peach will say when she's high off of caffeine and drunk at the same time." Zachariah said his grin growing even wider when Goodwitch gave him an accuseing look. "I warned her not to get into a drinking contest with me, but do you think she listened?" Goodwitch let out a frustrated growl as she rembered how much Peah bragged about her high alcohol tolerance and what Zachariah was. She also remembered how hung over Peach had seemed this morning

Yang of course upon hearing this had to hear more about what happened. "Wait you proffesor Peach challenged you to a drinking a contest?" She asked getting a nod from Zachariah. "Well what was it and how did it go?"

"Oh I recognized the lyrics from an old sea chanty sung by mistralian pirates and she bet I couldn't sing a good translation of it." Zacharaih said that grin still on his face as he rembered the look on Peach's face when he did. "We then procceded sing old songs back and forth and when one person sang a song the other didn't recognize, then the loser had to drink." Zachariah gave out a slight chuckle as he said "I think we consumed about four bottles of Bink's Sake before she passed out." Upon hearing this Goodwitch, Yang, Ren, Pyyhra, and even Weiss gave him a surprised look, after all Bink's Sake was known to be some of the strongest alcohol in all of exsitance. Meanwhile Summer just sighed shakeing her head as she rembered that particular event and how calm Zachariah was during the whole thing.

"Um you know we still have a few minuetes till we arrive could you sing this song for us?" Ruby asked puppy dog eyes the size of the moon.

"How in the world did you resist that?" Zachariah aske Summer as the looked made him liek he had to say yes.

Summer just smiled and said "Because I'm the one who taught her how to do it."

Zachariah just shook his head and said "Well it's not the knid of song you sing alone, so as long as Ms. Goodwitch doesn't mind everyone singing along, I don't see why not." Goodwitch rolled her eyes as she pulled out her scroll to look the intsrumental version knowing full well that everyone would end up singing with him. "Thanks Ms. Goodwitch, now see how does it go again, ah yes." He motioned for Goodwitch to start the music.

A piano started playing and Zachraiah began singing in what sounded like joy filled voice.

"Yo ho ho ho, Yo ho ho hoo

Yo ho ho ho, Yo ho ho hoo

Making a delivery, bringing it across the sea

Bink's sake in the hold as we sail through the breeze

Far across the eye can see, the sun is shining merrily

As the birds fly in the sky as they sing out with glee

Bid adieu to everyone as we sail under the sun

Saling on from dusk 'til dawn singing out as one

Cross the gold and silver waves, changing into water sprays

Sailing out on journey to the ends of the sea."

At the second verse everyone joined in even the pilot, filling the whole transport with song. By the time they finished the song, they had already reached their destination and were begging to depart. "That definitely put me in a good mood." Cardin said as he left with his team and Jaunne to a corner of the forest. Zachariah watched them leave and knew that Cardin was up to no good.

Summer followed Ruby as Zachariah walked around the forest making sure nothing daemonic appeared. "I think the coast is clear Summer." He said to her after about an hour of flying above the forest only to smell Brimstone and fell slight heat form in the air nearby. He let out a sigh and said "And now that I've said that, something just came out of Hell." He could practically see Summer roll her eyes upon hearing this. Zachariah flew down to where the smell of brimsotne was the strongest only to see an ursa with what looked like a man fused into it's back from the waist up.

The man was wearing armor that appeared to be forged of bone plates similar to the ursa's, but colored a dark red with smoking cinders lining the plates. It's helm was wicked skull like helm with two large spike jutting out from where the jaw would be and severaly sharp twisted and jaged spikes adorning the top. "You have slain several of my fellow warriors aver the centuries Paladin, many of whom still struggle to recover from the lowest rings of Hell." The deamon said in an agry tone pointing a lance that had several spines along it's length at Zachariah.

Zachraih got a serious look on his face as he drew Defnesor Infirma pointing it at the fused grimm and daemon and said "I know not the warriors you speak of, all I rember slaying were abominations and cowards, not worthy of the title of imp let alone daemon." Zachariah grew a small grin as he said his next line "In fact they were a lot like you."

The daemon roared with rage, making the ursa roar with it as he charged Zachariah like a twisted knight on horse back. Zachariah expected this and sidestepped the charge point the tip of the blade at the daemon and shooting it. Unfortunately it didn't hit the daemon head and only shot off the arm not holding the lance. The daemon roared in a mixture of pain and rage as he turned to charge Zachariah again. Zachariah redied his blade and at the last possible second moved his head side ways as he impaled the ursa with Defensor Infirma.

The daemon knowing that it's host was as good as dead, seperated itself from the grimm taking his ful form as a demonic calvary man. It turned to face Zachariah and swung its lance turning it into a form of war club. " I will make you will pay for your impudance you miserable angel!" It screamed raiseing it weapon above it's head only to be shot in the chest damaging it's chest plate enough for it's leathery hide to be visible.

"Get in line pal, because there's a lot worse than you in hell who want a peice of me." Zacharaih said as he shot again this time hitting the daemon in the chest causing it to fall flat on it's back as chains appeared around the now smoldering daemon, dragging it back into hell. Zachariah then remembered that ursa's usually traveld in pairs something that daemons liked to exploit.

The daemon must have seen the look on his face because the lst words he said were "My associate will kill the young hunters angel, you lose and the consort wins." It then started to laugh before a black portal appeared beneath it and several chains dragged it back to hell.

Zacharaih pulled out his scroll and called Goodwitch as he took off looking for the other daemon. When Goodwitch finally picked up he said "Listen Goodwitch there's no time, get the student back on the transport right now there's a daemon possed ursa running around."

"Understood I'll kill it if i I come across it." Goodiwitch said on the other end.

"Negative Goodwitch don't engage it, this daemon is from the the fifth circle's calvary an elite unit. This means that they could kill you easily, just get everyone out now!"

Goodwitch was silent for a momoent before she said "Understood sending out a mass recall order for all the students."

The moment she finished saying this Zachariah saw Cardin about to be killed by the daemon in question. "NO!" He screamed unable to do anything because it was beyond Defensor Infirma's effective range. Just then Jaune appeared and saved Cardin as he procceded to fight the daemon possessed grimm. The daemon was completely sure of it's victory until Jaune's sheild miracously raised itself just enough to block the next strike buy Jaune enough time to decapitate the ursa. The daemon then started to catch fire much to it and Zacharaih's surprise as it was dragged back to Hell howling in agony.

Zachariah sent a message to Goodwitch lettingher know that the daemon was slain as he landed in the clearing nex to summer who was about ten feet behind Ruby, Pyyhra and Wiess. "WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!" Summer screamed after Zachariah landed.

"Killing the other daemon that appeared that's what." He said as he walked towards Jaune just barely able to hear him tell Cardin to leave his team alone. "Well Mr. Arc what you just did was both incredibly brave and stupid given the current cricumstances." Zachariah said as he looked at Jaune's face and saw the damage that was done. Zachariah smiled as realized that the reasonthat the daemon was dispelled, was due to the fact Jaune risked his life for a man who no one would blame if he had left to die. "Let's just go ahead and fly back to Beacon, that picknick all of you had planned today will just have to happn some other time unfortunately." Ruby started to pout upon hearing this until she realized that they would technically have the rest of the day off when they got back.

After everyone got back to the bullhead and got aboard they heard the fmmilar screech of a nevermore. Zachariah looked up and saw that this was a normal grimm thank god becuase two daemons in one day was worrying enough he wouldn't what to think of three daemons. "I'll take care of this one you all just go and rest." He said as he took off pulling out Defensor Infirma and setting it to sword mode. Everyone just watched as he got ontop of the back of the nevermore and stabbed it in the head running down it's bakc sicing it in half. He flew into the airship as it was in the air and landed folind up the sword and putting it in it's sheath.

"You know that was just little over kill there right." Yanng said gestureing to the falling halves of the nevermore as they disovled into ash.

Zachariah just grinned as he said "To quote an old freind of mine 'it's only overkill if it works.'" Everyone gave a good laugh upon hearing this exhaustion settleing in from the events of today.

Later that night after Jaune and Pyyrha left the balcony Zachariah and Summer walekd out Zacharaih wearing a pair of silver sweat pants and matching short sleeved shirt. "So what are we waiting for again?" Summer asked as she leaned against the railing of the balcony looking at the satrs.

"We're waiting for our contancts from heavan to show up and see what they have to say and if they can;t go and look something up for us when they get back." Summer just nodded in understanding as she looked at the stars. She then noticed what appeared to be blue and green lights flying above the forest doing all sort of airial manouvers. "And there's our contacts, gotta say I'm not surprised they sent initiates."

Summer gave him a quizical look as she said "You mean to tell me that they're sending angels in training to report to us." Zachariah just nodded in response grinning as he saw the shapes of young man and woman both were wearing what apperead to be ski goggles and a form of leather armor, but even with this clothing you could easily tell that they were in their early twenties. The young man had what appeared to be a a bag strapped to his back as they flew towards them doing all sort of crazy manuvers on what could on be describes as sideways skate boards with wings coming out the ends. Summer looked at the two angels in training and smiled as she rembered the first time she conviced Qrow to try surfing.

When the two initiates reached the balconly they landed behind Zachariah and Summer turning off their wingboards as they landed. They turned around to face Zachariah and Summer removing their goggles and giving a salute to Zachariah. Before they could say word though Zachariah said "At ease initiates and please don't do that again it's just a waste of time on an assignment like this." Both initiates dropped their salutes shocked to hear him say that.

"Sorry sir it's just that our instructor told us to treat you with respect what with you being a former captain of the Hell gaurd and all." The woman said nervousness clear in her voice as she pushed her brown hair out from in front of her green eyes. The man however had just started digging through the bag that was on his back his short black hair jutting out into small spikes with bangs hanging just above his blue eyes.

Zacharaih just looked at the two of them and shook his head letting out a small chuckle as he said "Let me guess you're instructor's name is Vastal isn't it?" Both initiates looked at him with confused look as he chuckled again saying "It's an old gag we have going back to when we were human and I would opsess about how to treat officers, don't worry about it." Both initiates let out a breath of releif glad that hye weren't going to get reprimanded for breaking initiate protocol. "All right then lets get down to business," Zachariah said aking an official tone standing straight his full height towering he initiates "first things first, what are your names?"

"I'm Austin." said the young man his green eyes showing respect for Zachariah.

"And I'm Erica" said the young woman.

Zachariah looked at SUmmer who said "My name is Summer Rose pleasure to met both of you." Austin and Erica both stared at Summer, surprise clear on their faces. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Summer asked a little weired out by the way they were staring at her.

"Sorry it's just you're the first person person actually get a gaurdian angel request approved let alone with one as high ranked as he is. I mean he lead an assault on a daemon stronghold in the fifth circle and deafeted the daemon lord Arstus in battle alone. Kind of surprised he accepted the job honestly." Austin said before he heard Erica give a slight cough letting him know to shut up as he noticed the slight glare Zachariah was giving him.

Zachariah just shook his head as he said "The reason I took this station was personal and just so you know in the past two months I've had to deal with an imp, and earlier today two member's of the fifth circle elite calvary." He paused letting the Austin and Erica abosrb the information. "What's even more concerning is the fact that daemons before it got dragged back to Hell said 'The consort will rise.'" Austin and Erica shared a concerned look knowing that this couldn't be good. "You should know by now that the powers that be know what their when make job offers to you." He said in condescending tone reminding them of who they worked for. "Now you brought something for us what is it?" Zachariah said breaking the grim silence that had emreged.

"Oh, right, uh we've got two things for you," Erica said as Austin began to dig in the bag, "one of them is a message from eternal affairs saying that apparently SUmmer doesn' have to be within a half a mile of you she could choose to follow Ruby if she wanted to." Upon hearing Summers eyes grew wide and an excited squeal escaped her lips glad to hear this."Would you mind telling me about you daughter Ms. Rose I'd like to hear more." Erica said buying Austin and Zachariah time to talk withoutineruption as Summer talked to her.

"The second thing is this." Austin said pulling out what looked to be a dirk with a curve handle and a pistol built into it. "The forge master said that it's for you need sublety over power." He said as he handed over a sheath to go with it.

Zachariah picked up the gun knife and read the inscription giving a slight chuckle as he read the name aloud "Inductor which means either executioner or overseer depending on the context." He looked over to see Summer talking to Erica about how proud she was of Ruby for getting accepeted into Beacon two years early. He then turned to face and asked "I'm guessing that you're assigned to work as our contacts for now, correct?"

Austin nodded as he said "Yes our orders are to report to every two weeks and to bring packages and Information as you require."

"Excellent," Zachariah said already planning to put them to work, "because your first order of business is to look up who this daemon could have referred to and why they'd have an interest in Ruby, understand?" Austin nodded as he pulled his wing board out "Also if you can, find out what Jaune Arc's semblance is I'd like to know if possible." Austin nodded again showing he understood. "Good your dismissed," Zachariah said a grin forming on his lips as he said, "enjoy the flight back I've heard that the winds can get a little playful at times here, understand?"

Austin smiled as he realized that Zachariah just basically told him to go all out on the airieal manuevers. "Understood sir, we'll accomadate for that." He then gave a loud whistle getting Erica's attention. Summer and Erica gave each other a quick hug, before Erica pulled out her board a joined Austin in ttakeing off for Hevan.

Summer waled over to Zachariah and noticed his new weapon as she said "I like Erica turns she was a young mother as well when she was alive ahd to little boys who grew up to be detecives."

Zachariah just grinned as he put the sheath on his back making sure he could easily reach. He then turned around to walk inside as he said "Lets tell Ozpin that we'll need the balcony reserved in two weeks for our next meeting." Summer nodded following Zachariah even more confident in his ability to protect her daugther though she couldn't help, but wonder how he'd handle being there emotionally for Ruby. After all the only things she'd seen him do were teach and fight and neither of those could prepare him for the trouble that was an emotional teenage girl.
