Well what do you know I was able to get the drive for inner thoughts back for Pyrrha at least. I know you all have been waiting for Pyrrha's chapter and I'm terribly sorry for making you all wait. I hope this satisfies you and that you all have enjoyed A Knight's New Fight so far. And for fans of Baby Jaune he returns.
Chapter 10- Spartan's Sorrow.
Invincible.
That's what I've always been seen as.
My childhood was constant training as soon as my talent was noticed.
My parents saw me as a way to make money rather than their child.
Any friends I had before then faded away, anyone I met afterward was only interested in my fame. My life became dull and colorless. Simply one fight or training session or promotion deal after another.
When Ozpin offered me a spot at Beacon I jumped for it, I thought going to Beacon I might meet people who don't shove me on a pedestal.
How wrong I was.
One minute after leaving the Bullhead and I'm swarmed by fans.
I had to sleep in a different room to actually get some sleep that night.
When I meet Weiss the next morning I thought that I would never be treated like a normal person.
Then I met you.
You were a goof, horrible flirt, and didn't look special but the only reason you even recognized me was from a cereal cover.
At that moment I decided to make you my partner.
Maybe using Milo to spear you to a tree wasn't the best idea but I refused to lose you.
Weiss recently came clean about finding you before me, I'm so glad she walked away.
We made it through the initiation with no real problems, partially thanks to your plan for the deathstalker.
I was so happy when you were made leader because it took some spotlight off me.
I soon realized you were hiding something from me though.
You were an awful fighter and tactics was the only place you excelled.
None of that mattered to me because you treated me like you would any other person. I had already started to fall for you.
When Cardin bullied you I never stood up for you because I knew it would make it worse.
At least that's what I told myself. In reality I was hoping you'd come to me for help and I could try to make you see I was interested in you while helping you.
You never came to me for help.
Now I know it was because you believed no one would ever help you.
When you told me about your fake transcripts I wasn't all that surprised. I shouldn't have left you alone.
When I helped you beat that Ursa I didn't care about Cardin, I only cared about you. I don't know how you saw good in everyone.
When you came to me for training I was ecstatic. Finally a chance to make you see how I feel.
Knowing what I know now I realize that my advances were too much over your head. Love and affection were things you had never experienced before.
It hurt me when you continued to pursue Weiss.
Then you decided to tell everyone in JNPR and RWBY about your transcripts and they soon ignored or scorned you. I will never understand how you could still act so friendly to them during that time.
This continued until our joint training mission that went horribly wrong, I still wonder how so many Grimm suddenly appeared. We got separated, we fought alone, and then you were on the ground bleeding out.
You came so close to dying for someone who scorned you.
When you woke up two weeks later I was so relieved.
Soon Blake ran off after her fight with Weiss and you went to help her. I felt so jealous then and it sickened me.
I realized I was starting to try and monopolize you.
And yet I couldn't stop, you had dug yourself deep into my heart and there was no digging you out.
Then Prom came around and I raged at you inwardly for not asking me.
At least you kept your promise to wear a dress. It was hilarious.
I can't describe how I felt when we shared a dance, I had never felt like that before. I don't think I ever will again.
When you asked us to wait because of Ruby's call I admit I thought it was unnecessary.
As we all know I was proven wrong.
I got so angry when you left because I was worried about you. I was afraid I would lose you. And for that I yelled at you.
Soon we were participating in the festival and things looked like they would go so well. We swept through the first two rounds easily enough. Yet just when things looked like they would go well the universe rocked the boat.
Ozpin told me about the Maidens, about Amber and how I could be her replacement. It weighed heavily on me, was this my destiny, was this what I was put on Remnant to do.
I started pushing you all away, I wasn't there when Yang needed friends.
Yet you were there for me. You tried your best to help me even though you knew little about the situation. In the end I shoved you away, quite literally.
And then I killed Penny. Well her father was able to save her, apparently he has back up bodies and should Penny die she sends her mind to one via signal.
I felt so much self-loathing and despair at that moment. I wanted to die in Penny's place. You dragged me out of that.
I don't think I would have had the strength to continue the fight if not for you.
And then Ozpin took me to become the new Fall Maiden and you followed us. You fought to keep Cinder away even if it was pointless. She had already killed Amber and taken the full Fall Maiden power.
Ozpin told us to run and so we did. We ran out of that chamber and then we saw Cinder fly out of it as well. I was set on going back to fight her myself.
Instead you threw me in a locker and went yourself.
I tried to turn that thing around but the force of the rocket stopped me form accomplishing that. So once I landed I called Weiss and hoped for the best.
Then the feed started playing.
I heard the past you never told us about. I watched you turn down her offer to join her. And then the fight started.
When it began you did well, I even had hopes you would succeed. Then you lost an arm.
Yet you never screamed, you simply kept giving her a glare even as she shot your heart. When she approached you with that dagger I felt so cold knowing you would die and you did.
Just not the way I thought you would.
You revealed your semblance and turned all that stolen power back on Cinder. Then you spoke your final words and died with Cinder and her cronies.
HOW COULD YOU THINK YOU WERE HOLDING ME BACK?!
You were all that kept me going sometimes. The thought that one person cares about me for me. That I might actually have someone who loves me for myself not my title.
Goddess of Victory huh.
Where was that skill and strength when you needed it?!
I fell into an intense depression after your death. Killing Grimm, training, or hunting down remaining Fang were the only things that got me moving.
Yet now I have a reason to fight again.
Ren took Nora, RWBY, and I to visit some friends and introduced us to the Kibos. There I met Kibo Jaune. The child you saved before he was even born.
He has your eyes.
When I saw and held him I had an epiphany. You wouldn't want me to wallow in sorrow, you'd want me to live my life. So far all I've been doing is dishonoring your sacrifice.
So I promise Jaune that I will continue to live right up until I join you again.
So until then wait for me my White Knight.
So hope you like this. Also A Spartan's Final Fight is in the works.
