"That would be dumber than to send a wounded grunt to fight me. Completely wrong"
"Excuse me?" Weiss almost screamed "How dare you. Can you not see that my skill far outmatches hers"
"Ms schnee. Your skill is only rivaled by that attitude and ignorance of yours" Port answered
"And that is taking it lightly" Hades added
"How dare you?" The heiress cried out in outrage.
"Point proved" Echo said crossing his arms over his chest, Weiss glanced off to the side her cheeks tinged a slight red, either from anger or embarrassment… perhaps both.
"Your poor attitude and that arrogant streak you have there is gonna get you killed, I've seen it happen before to people I knew, they thought they were the best of the best, that no one was better or could harm them" Hades said. "Two seconds later the poor fucker took a 40mm round to the head all that was left of him after that were some chunks of flesh and bone".
Weiss stared up at the man horrified by the story, Peter coughed into his fist hoping to move the conversation away from the morbid subject.
Hades sighed,"What I'm trying to get you to understand is that, just because you thought you were the best for the job doesn't mean you are in the end, a leader is someone who can take charge in tuff situations someone people can trust, most of it boils down to basic social skills, something your, upbringing has caused you to lack"
"Excuse me!?" Weiss said "What does my upbringing have to do with any of this."
Once again Hades sighed "You're an Heiress that can afford to be,pampered and trained to be what many would call an exceptional warrior, but have you ever interacted with someone who wasn't one of your staff, or a member of your family."
Weiss glanced off to the side refusing to meet the man's eye "Just like I thought, you've been sheltered by your wealth up to this point in your life and had a silver spoon in your mouth long before that, our used to getting what you want when you want it."
Echoe reached out placing a hand on her should, the Heiresses head drooping slightly "Weiss, you're a good kid. You have your mind set on who and what you want to be in your future, and your hearts definitely in the right place, but the sooner you accept things might not always go your way, or your not always going to be perfect, the better it'll be."
"I'm one of The Best examples" Echo sighed, his robotic torso dropping a bit "I never planned to die in The first place"

Ruby slumped against the wall outside the classroom staring down at the floor as she pulled her knees up to her chest, was Weiss right...was she a bad leader?. All she'd been trying to do all day was try and prove herself to the white haired girl, even offering her combat advice when she'd been having trouble with the Grimm in class.
"Ruby?" A familiar voice asked.
The young rose raised her head staring up at the Pilot stood over her, she blinked a few times in confusion her eyes quickly darting down both ends of the hallway she hadn't even heard him coming. She looked at the caramel colored face of Oblivion as he knelt down in front of her a look of concern plastered across the soldiers face.
"You okay pint size?" The pilot asked resting a hand on the young girls shoulder. Ruby merely glanced off to the side a small frown coming to rest on the fifteen year olds face.
"Hey" Oblivion tried once again tapping her cheek making her look at him "What's wrong?" He asked his voice taking on a far more gentle tone.
"I...Was Weiss right, do you think Ozpin made a mistake?" Ruby asked her eyes once again falling to the floor "Was he wrong for making me the leader of team RWBY?"
"No, I dont" Oblivion reassured her, "I mean, it's been the first day. And we are not even through it all yet! There are still multiple classes left of what if Ice queen has a stick shoved up her as- Ahem butt." Oblivion quickly amended "It's too early to say anything about what you are as a leader, and I know from personal experience"
"You do?" Ruby asked before quickly snapping her mouth shut. Of course he did he was a soldiers, well a soldier that controlled a giant robot, but still he'd been with his team for she didn't know how long of course he'd know about this kind of stuff.
"Duh" Oblivion replied taking a seat beside her leaning his head back against the wall. "I've seen this kind of thing happen over a dozen time with my own squad, granted it was when I first joined up."
"I joined up with the Militia when Echo had been a pilot for 7 years already. The guy was already bit of a legend. So when news came around that his adopted brothers. Me and Hades, had joined up. We were treated good. But Echo? Noooo, he wouldn't have any of that. And I partially agreed. Even if the boot camp was the worst days of my life. Worse than getting shot in between my legs. Now, that was painful. So, when we became Pilots, we were assigned in the same squad under the leadership of Echo and his best friend Casper. The former C of Titan squad 3CH0. Poor guy died during the Harran crisis"
"He lost his friend" Ruby asked
"Yep" Oblivion replied " He never really got over that, and he's been pushing himself since then to be better to make sure something like that never happens again… Being a leader it isn't just about how strong or how capable you are at academics or combat wise… A leader main priority should be towards those under them both physically and Psychologically, to push them to give their all, it's a taxing roll god knows it isn't easy, but I have a feeling out of everyone on your team Ozpin made the right choice picking you."
"How are you so sure" Ruby asked.
"Because I've seen you in action, what you're capable of and what kind of person you are and after all I've seen I have faith in your abilities as a leader, Ice Queen has been locked in her little tower all her life and doesn't know how to talk to people, Blake is quiet and a little antisocial, your sister is reckless and often does not take the time to think things through… you on the other hand." Oblivion smiled down at the little reaper "You're smart, quick on your feet and put your team's needs first, you're even doing it now."
"I am?" Ruby said in some surprise glancing down at herself
"You think you aren't ready because of your age, you listened to your teammate when she voiced her "Concerns" and now your trying to resolve it for the good of the team… that right there is what makes you a good leader." Oblivion said patting her on the shoulder as he rose back to her feet. "Your a damn good leader Ruby for being so young and if Ice queen can't see that, she doesn't deserve you."
"Thanks Oblivion, it means a lot" Ruby said as she smiled and rose from the ground
"No problem pup" Oblivion smiled, "You should get to class, don't want to keep Echo and Eclipse waiting. But, Glynda should be your main fear if you do. Reminds me of my sixth grade science teacher" That earned a laugh from the young reaper.
"Come on, you still got a few classes today you don't want to be late lil pup." Oblivion said ruffling her hair.
"Ohh right, bye Oblivion" Ruby said darting off with her semblance.
"She is going places, big and good places" Oblivion chuckled.
"Tell me about it" A voice said and a pilot uncloaked.
"Yeah, now, shouldn't you get back to the infirmary Charlie?" Oblivion asked smiling.
"Yeah yeah, in a minute" Charlie said leaning back against the wall, his body was tense and he appeared to be leaning a little too far forward with his hands crossed at his waist .
"Dude" Oblivion began "Are you hard!?"
"Give me a break man that Angela chick, god. I get this planet is weird but why does every girl look like a supermodel." Charlie said
"One of life's many great mysteries, but more importantly why are you in the hallway!?" Oblivion said before dragging his squad mate back down the hall, he was just happy the little pup hadn't seen that.
"She was so close to fucking seeing it" Charlie said, "so I excused myself. She is a damned Succubus or something she has to be, no one has a body like that."
"You are such a virgin" Oblivion joked."Come on we should both get going, don't want to keep the lady waiting eh?"
"Yeah yeah fuck you too mate" Charlie laughed flipping him the bird as he re-cloaked and walked away.
"God he needs to get laid" Oblivion mused walking off back to Peters classroom to greet the next class, hopefully he wouldn't be dealing with any more teenage drama that day.
*history after combat
/
Ruby had just made it in time. A minute later and she would have come to late. Sitting down in her seat in the combat class. Looking around she saw Echo, Eclipse and Glynda talking. It was the second final class of the day.
She was excited to say the least, she'd seen some of the weapons echo and his team had at their disposal, and she couldn't wait to see what they could really do
"Welcome to combat class" The voice of Deputy Glynda Goodwitch sounded through the room, "As you might be able to guess, in this class we will focus on combat. BUT, if you break the rules. Harsh consequences will follow!" The sentence ended with a stern look from her.
"Today we will go over the basics and pit some of you against each other. Later this semester we will focus on duo combat and next semester we will focus on team vs team. Do you understand?"
A series of 'Yes miss Goodwitch' echoed through the combat hall Well, except for one team. Team CRDL. 'Not big suprise' Echo thought Their combat profiles were not much to look at and if the Beacon rumour mill was anything to go by they had earned themselves a reputation that depict them as bullies that mostly targeted the faunus students.'
Echo let out a sigh as he looked at the team who were sitting at the verry back of the stands it made seeing them almost impossible, well for most teachers anyway, others did not have the ability to tap into the camera feed, using one of the arena security cameras he zoomed at on the four boy the largest of them and leader Cardin Winchester had wolf faunus Leria Nyx, tail in a tight gripp every so often he would give the appendage a sharp tug earning a small cry of pain from the girl.
He could see her teammates asking what was wrong only for Cardin to tighten his grip on the appendage making her wince once more, she glanced back at the boy receiving a vicious glare from the four all mouthing the same thing to the poor girl 'Stay quiet...or else' that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
"CARDIN WINCHESTER" He boomed, the volume of his voice heightened as it blasted through the speakers hanging above.
The young man's head snapped up offering Leria the chance to pull her tail out of his grasp Glynda's head snapped towards him and then to the young man her eyes scanning over the crowd spotting the young man near the very back of the class.
"Is there any at least decent reason why you are focusing more on inflicting pain and suffering on your fellow students than pay attention to the class.Meatbag?"
Cardin sat shocked that the tin can had spotted it. He didn't even manage to say anything before Echo yelled again. "Get your fat ass down here." Echo looked at the rest of the team, "That also counts you three!"
The four students walked down to the stage looking at the simulacrum who had suddenly gained a much darker and more Murderous aura around him
"Since you spent more time harming others than paying much needed attention, how about I give a demonstration on what a skilled huntsman can do" The question was asked as a command and the four boys easily understood it. They had to fight him.
"Aww the Tin can wants to fight" Cardin teased but Echo didn't seem fazed by it. In fact, this only grew the fear that Cardin held for him.
"Get into positions" Echo said as they walked to their half of the ring, Echo walking to the other. "Glynda, get the computers working."
Glynda sighed, "While I do not approve of this, I can see why it is necessary to see what a skilled huntsman can do" She walked to the computers and soon five monitors lit up: ECHO: 100%. CARDIN WINCHESTER: 100%. RUSSELL THRUSH: 100%. DOVE BRONZEWING: 100& and SKY LARK: 100%.
"The spar will start in 3. 2. 1. FIGHT" Glynda said and team CDRL immediately rushed towards Echo. Russell, being the quickest of them all reached him first and slashed out after him. Only to find himself having a tight metal grip on his arm. Literally, Echo was literally damaging his aura by clenching his hand. Echo pulled the boy towards him and punched him in the face and Russell hit the ground losing a solid 10% Aura from the single punch. Echo saw Cardin trying to hit him from the side. Cardin swung and Echo dodged. The momentum of the weapon combined with hitting the floor made the weapon hit so deep into the floor that the weapon was stuck. Cardin gasped as he realized him weapon was stuck and turned around to meet a dropkick to the face. He fell onto the floor seeing Sky and Dove fighting Echo at the same time. Fending them off with kicks and punches. Sky charged at Echo looking to pin him down. Echo turned around and kicked Sky in the chin sending him to the ground. Echo sprinted up to him with a Data knife in his hand. Pinning sky down he set the knife to electrical override and stabbed the boy in the chest. The electrical waves eliminating what was remaining of his aura.
Russell had gone up and charged at him again only to be kicked in the stomach. A grappling hook was shot into the boys back and Echo grasped the students head and slammed it to the ground three times before slamming it a final time so hard that the floor cracked. Russell had been eliminated from the match. Cardin and Dove walked up together standing side to side looking at the master Pilot. Echo turned to them and spread his arms a little away from his body. The two boys focused on the arms as if that was what he was trying to make them do. And that was when they saw it. Two whip like chain blades descended from some sort of inbuilt arm device. They watched the chain sword/whips curl and twist before settling into the form of swords. Two swords, with the potential of turning into whips with blades.
Just as the poor boys thought that it couldn't get any worse the swords sparkled with electricity. The same kind that had eliminated Sky. Echo began charging at them, starting his own offensive strikes. His slashes were quick and effective. For mere moments later Dove had been hit by a series of electrified slashes ending Dove's aura quickly. Echo turned to Cardin who quickly tried to back up. Echo still giving of the vibe of death and pain. Screaming like a kid, Cardin surrendered
"I SURRENDER" He screamed backing into the wall but Echo continued his march. Grabbing Cardins head he slammed it into a wall. "I do not tolerate racism in MY CLASSES. UNDERSTAND?"
"Yes" Cried Cardin and Echo let go and mumbled swears directed to Cardin.
"Alright class, you have gotten the demonstration, now let's continue with the class" Echo said, sheathing his chain swords.

Hello everybody, another chapter for you all. I felt it was a long time since the last fight scene. So eh, why the fuck not? If you haven't guessed. The chain sword like whips Echo posses are inspired heavily by the chain sword from Pacific Rim (A totally badass movie) But I have some news: Im starting a new series on my youtube channel (Big Pizza Gaming) Called Fallout Friday. Each Episode will be every second friday starting next week. Seasons will be characters. The first season will be the Slavic build. Handmade rifle turned into the dragunov and the splattercannon renamed to AK47. Alongside a missile launcher and a knife starting next friday.
The other news are that I have given a name for my fanverse and I think its pretty good. This Fanverse is called Arknetic. Not the most original but still good enough. This will act as my 'cannon' Which means that I will also create Arknetic AUs (Hint Hint) This will be the first of Three books in the Arknetic series. Not counting sequels and prequels that might come in the future.
Now, let's do some review answering shall we? (please know that I have not altered the reviews. This also counts for grammar and spelling)
Review: Psihopatul: Hehe yet again another fun chapter, looking forward to Weiss' varying reactions to what she is being told and taught. Also looking forward of seeing some other students reactions these "teachers from Atlas"
Lastly: WHAT? No Hype for Metro Exodus? Shame on you!
Answer: Thanks for liking the chapter. But jesus calm down. I have never played a Metro game before. Im gonna check it out, but I got other games to play. *Cough Fallout 76 on PS4 and PC. *Cough* Dying Light 2 *Cough* In the simplest way. I just aint got the money!
Review: Gold Crown Dragon: WHAT?! i aggre with the guy under me, whare is your hype for metro,and TF 3 is a risky and brisky move to me...it can be epic and fail at the same time...and dont forget cyberpunk 2077.
and nice chapter csnt wait for the other to show off their fancy skill
Answer: I do have some hype, it's just not that big okay? And yes. Titanfall 3 WILL be risky. That is my theory why they are taking some more time. To make the game perfect or well, as perfect as it can be *Cough* Titanfall 2's melee * cough* I have never played a cyberpunk game but it does look good. And thanks for liking the chapter.
Review: Zelta-nine: good chapter, but theres no titanfall 3
Answer: I dont believe that, I have a good theory for why we didnt get the game at E3 2018. They want to take more time to make titanfall 3 as good as possible.
Review: Zelta-nine (again): Oh lol weiss got roasted bad there.
Answer: To be honest, (DONT HATE ME) Weiss is one of the least favorite characters of mine, she falls short of Cinder and Salem. Who are just plain bad villains if you ask me. They could pick up a lesson or two from Raul Menendez. That guy took on the bloody USA using their weapons against themselves. All pay respect for a good villain, lost to the greed of Activision. *Presses F to pay respect*
Review: PapaScorch: great story, and Yang will know Charlie and frost all to well.
R.I.P. Yang's arm
Answer: Rip her arm indeed.
Now, those were the reviews for now. Check out my youtube channel Big pizza gaming if you want to meet me more as a person and watch me play some video games with my friends (or by myself) in my new series starting next friday!
This is Big Pizza, signing off.
