TrueTemplar here, to make up for the lack of updates I'm trying to smash as many chapters out as I can now, hope you enjoy!

Deus vult!

"Ninety-seven...ninety-eight...ninety-nine...one hundred!" Silvanus gasped, finishing his push-ups before collapsing onto the dorm rooms floor, panting heavily.

Albion opened his eyes and turned his head towards his teammate,

"Good job Silv," he said before closing his eyes again, "Bet you feel a lot stronger now."

"You said some..." Silvanus replied angrily, still gasping for air, "In what universe does 'some' equal a hundred..."

"A universe where I'm your leader and you do what I say," Albion replied with a grin before yawning and getting up from his bed, he walked over to one of the rooms windows and stared out into the courtyard below, he watched as the wind picked up fallen leaves and made them dance in the air. He saw students congregating with their friends, playing games, chatting and enjoying each other's company, this brought a sad smile to Albion's face. The leader, however, was brought back to reality by a soft poke at his shoulder, he turned to see a worried looking Blaze holding up a sign that read,

"Are you okay? :("

Albion chuckled at his teammate's concern, before gently taking the sign from him, along with his pen and writing a message of his own.

"I'm fine, thank you :)"

The message may not have been anything special, but it brought a large smile to Blaze's face, who was relieved his leader was okay.

"Now, haven't you got some training to do of your own?" Albion said with a raised eyebrow, making Blaze immediately stand to attention before running to his bed, tucking his feet underneath the base and starting his sit-ups.

"Good man," Albion said with a soft smile before turning around to survey the room,

"Luteus?", he called out, "What about you?"

"Don't worry, I got some milk," his teammate replied as he coincidentally entered the dorm brandishing a carton of the liquid in question.

Albion walked back over to his bed,

"Good work gentlemen," Albion said, "You'll be ready to show Ozpin what we can do no problem."

Silvanus had managed to finally get his breath back and unexpectedly began to unleash some aggression out on Luteus, a rage that had evidently been built up from the push-ups he had been asked to perform and the training that Luteus had been asked to do.

"Hang on," he said angrily as he got back to his feet, "How come all you had to do was go and get milk, that's unfair!"

"That's what Albion told me to do," Luteus replied calmly as he took the straw off the carton and inserted it, ready for drinking.

"And you don't think that's a little bit easy for a workout?" Silvanus asked with a touch of sarcasm as he held his arms out wide.

"Are you angry?" Luteus asked as he tilted his head, genuinely confused with the current situation.

"Oh no, I'm fine," Silvanus said with a large fake smile, before leaning towards Luteus with a new expression of rage, "Of course I'm angry!"

Luteus paused and tried to assess the situation,

"Is this about the milk?" Luteus asked as he raised his head from the carton, "Do you want it?"

"No this isn't about the milk!" Silvanus cried, "It's about the fact that we two have to work our asses off doing physical training, and you just had to walk down some stairs and then come back up again!"

Luteus paused once more, his face one of concentration as he analysed what was being said to him,

"So...you don't want the milk?"

Luteus' words ignited more rage in Silvanus as he wheeled around to confront his leader, who was, to the boy's surprise, already standing behind him and staring him down. The young hunter faltered slightly, before regaining his composure, at this point, Luteus and Blaze both stopped what they were doing and focused on what was going on in front of them.

"Alright then," Silvanus said, summoning up as much bravado as he could muster, "How come me and Blaze have to do physical work while he just has to get something to drink, that doesn't strike me as fair leadership."

"First off, it's 'Blaze and I'," Albion said with a stern expression, "I didn't spend three years of my life teaching you grammar just for you to make a mockery of it."

"Pfft," Silvanus tutted as he rolled his eyes in quite a childish manner.

"Secondly, can Luteus beat you in one punch?" Albion continued, sending a fierce stare into his teammate's eyes.

After a significant pause, Silvanus replied, "Yes...," realising that he had made a mistake in questioning his leader.

"And can you beat Luteus with one punch?" Albion said as he took his hands out of his pockets and folded his arms.

"No..." Silvanus replied with the sound of defeat pulsing through his voice.

"And that's why he doesn't need to do physical training," Albion said calmly as Silvanus stayed silent, staring at the floor.

Albion looked over Silvanus' shoulder and saw a slight look of fear on Blaze's face, hinting that he was maybe being too hard on his fellow teammate, the leader then rubbed his forehead and sighed.

"Look," he began, "There's a reason behind every order I make, I wouldn't ask you to do something for no reason, understand?"

Silvanus nodded before having his face pushed up by his leader,

"Right, let's do some more push-ups, both of us, I won't get my guys to do anything I can't," Albion said with an eager grin.

"But, your arm?" Silvanus replied before being cut off by Albion who had already got down to the ground,

"Better hurry Silv, or I'll get to a hundred before you do," he said as he began pushing himself up and down with just his left arm.

"Aw, no way you're beating me in this!" Silvanus said as he hurriedly got down beside his leader and began to push up as fast as his body would allow him, the anger that was once in the air having completely disappeared.

Luteus smiled, happy Albion was someone who could resolve conflict quickly and easily while maintaining a healthy chemistry within the team. He drank the last of his milk before getting down beside Blaze and joining him in his sit-up training, helping to motivate the youngest member of the team, and prepare him for the battle that was about to happen.

"Right here Jaune, this seems like a good a spot as any!" Pyrrha called out to her leader. Jaune groaned in agony as he carried an exceptionally large rock to the point indicated by his spartan partner before quickly dropping it and collapsing.

"Pyrrha, I get the idea of making an arena in the forest," Jaune panted between heavy breaths, "But did we really need large rocks as the border?"

"I'm sorry Jaune," Pyrrha said as she helped her leader back to his feet, "Nora seemed to be handling it okay so I thought it could work."

Jaune turned his head to see his orange haired teammate arrive cheerfully carrying five boulders, each bigger than the one he had carried.

"Yea Nora, you go and emasculate me...," he muttered under his breath.

As Nora placed out the remaining boulders she breathed a sigh of satisfaction, happy at the large fighting area her team had made for the evening's event.

"So Pyrrha, do you wanna get some practice in?" she said as she whipped out her hammer and got in an attacking stance.

Pyrrha smiled and like Nora took out her weapons,

"Okay, but Jaune, you have to train too," she said as she picked up her leader's equipment and tossed it to him.

"Great!" Nora cried, "Okay it's boys versus girls, me and Pyrrha against Jaune and Ren, sorry Ren," she continued with a wink, "Let's go!"

Three hours had passed since team RWBY heard of team JNPR's construction and it was reaching sunset, Nora had sent them a picture of an arena she and her team had built in the forests outside of the academy and they were all eager to go out and see it.

"Come on guys, we're going to be late!" Weiss said impatiently as she waited by the dorm room door.

"You can't be late if there wasn't a meeting time assigned," Blake responded flatly as she put on her shoes.

"Yea Weiss chill out," Yang said as she inspected her weapons, "Besides, we need to check everyone else is on their way."

"Hmph, I've already done that," Weiss responded as she folded her arms in typical Weiss fashion, "JNPR are already there, after making the arena they went to get food and returned roughly half an hour ago, Pyrrha told me ALBN were also there."

"Oh..." Yang replied, "So they're waiting on us then."

"YES!" Weiss cried, "So can we move, please!"

"Okay-okay-okay what did I miss?" Ruby said as she appeared out of the bathroom.

"Well everyone else is at the arena and Blake and I are just waiting on Weiss to hurry up and get ready," Yang said with a serious expression, before letting a small grin appear.

"Aw, come on Weiss, we can't keep them waiting," Ruby said with a disappointed look.

Weiss' face began to burn red with a bubbling rage, before she exploded, however, she took several deep breaths and exited the dorm room, closing the door behind her.

"Okay, we better go before she kills anyone passing by," Blake said as she, Yang and Ruby rapidly chased after their ice queen.

At the arena, the members of team JNPR and team ALBN had situated themselves behind the line of stones that acted like a barrier as Albion had a short talk with Jaune.

"Now Jaune I'm assuming you don't really want to partake in this fighting event?" Albion asked as he stood up from the rock he was sitting on.

"Not particularly no," Jaune replied with a hint of self-loathing in his voice, "I can't keep up with the others very well, and don't want to let Ozpin down."

"Well, how about you spar with me?" Albion asked, "Nothing serious, just a quick match and maybe I can help you develop your fighting ability?"

"You would do that?" Jaune asked in disbelief.

"Sure, we'll go until team RWBY get here, seeing as neither of us will be fighting with them we can afford the time and energy to train," Albion replied with a smile.

As the two fighters took their respective positions in the ring Nora began to eagerly cheer for the already nervous looking Jaune,

"Come on Jaune, we believe in you!" she cried as she waved a flag with Jaune's face on it.

"Nora, where on earth did you get that...?" Ren asked, partially not wanting to know the answer.

"Just stay focused Jaune!" Pyrrha called out to her leader as she clasped her hands together, willing him onwards.

"Come on Jaune," the blonde haired student said to himself, "You've trained with Pyrrha most nights now, I can't disappoint her."

Albion sized up his opponent before gesturing for Jaune to come to him,

"Let's go then," he said with a grin, "Fight me."

"Okay then!" Jaune cried as he charged at Albion who still had his only arm stuffed in his pocket, "Hah! This guy is too confident for his own good, wait til he sees what I can do!" he told himself.

Jaune reached Albion and feinted an attack with his sword before spinning around, "Now that you're leaning to block that attack your right side is completely open!" Jaune said to himself as he turned around quickly. To his shock, however, Albion hadn't moved an inch from his original position and as Jaune's shield came around, the team ALBN leader simply stepped to the side, allowing for Jaune's momentum to carry him forward before placing a boot into his back, sending him to the ground.

"Oh..." Nora said quietly as her cheers subsided.

"Damn it!" Jaune said as he punched the ground in anger.

Albion sighed, helped Jaune back to his feet and to the confusion of Jaune and his teammates, took his shield away from him.

"Tell me Jaune, what does this shield do?" he asked his blonde opponent.

"Um, it protects me?" Jaune replied, hoping he had got the answer right.

"Correct," Albion replied as he walked to the side of the arena and placed Jaune's shield outside the boundary.

"Hey!" Jaune cried, "How am I supposed to defend myself now?"

"Don't be so damn careless," Albion replied as he returned to face his opponent, "And you won't need to defend against anything, now come on, fight me."

Jaune and Albion began to spar, Jaune treading carefully, watching his footwork and trying to judge where his opponent was moving.

"Well at least he's lasted longer this time," Nora said with a cheerful smile after two minutes of successful sparring on Jaune's end.

"Of course, he has," Luteus said while he meditated beside the arena, "Since he doesn't have a shield anymore he has no safety net, his mind must be fully focused on the fight."

At that moment Jaune went for a lunge attack but in the process let his hand slip and dropped his sword onto the ground, making himself vulnerable.

"Oh no," Ren said, "He must have gotten distracted."

"Come on buddy," Silvanus cried, "You were doing so good!"

Albion sighed, disappointed after seeing the small improvements Jaune had been showing, he was then, to the complete surprise of everyone, dealt a strong blow to the face sending him staggering backward. As Albion opened his eyes he saw Jaune in front of him, the young hunter having rolled to where his shield was, picking it up and re-stancing his body, now with a confident smirk on his face.

"You said earlier today, it didn't matter how you won, as long as you did," he said, evidently feeling impressed with himself.

"Yay!" Pyrrha said, unable to contain her pride in Jaune's quick thinking.

Nora was speechless, even with Ren prodding her she would not return to reality, having been too shocked from what she just witnessed.

"Well, I must say I never expected to see something like that come from you Mr. Arc," a mature voice came from the entrance portion of the arena. As everyone turned they saw Professor Ozpin alongside the eight members of team RWBY and, for some reason, team SSSN.

"That was amazing Jaune!" Ruby cried out, "You were like 'Oh no!' then you were like 'Actually wait!' then you went 'Smash!"

Jaune began to go red with embarrassment,

"Oh come on guys it wasn't anything special," he said trying to play down his thinking.

"On the contrary," Albion said as he approached Jaune, "I'm impressed, you fooled me, and that is no easy feat," he continued as he extended an arm out to his opponent, "Well done."

Jaune smiled, sheathed his sword and grabbed Albion's hand for a handshake, Albion laughed as he pulled Jaune towards him, crouched down and used all of his upper body strength to lift Jaune over him, throwing the team JNPR leader helplessly onto the ground behind him before placing his foot on Jaune's back, letting Silvanus slide into the arena and slam his hand on the ground comedically,

"One! Two! Three! Albion is the winner!" he said in a deep voice, lifting Albion's arm into the air and drawing a cheer through the medium of sign from Blaze.

"Ow...what happened...why is everything spinning?" Jaune groaned as Pyrrha and Nora rushed over to his side and made sure he was okay before helping him back to his feet.

"Looks like you aren't the only one whose got a few tricks up their sleeve," said Albion with a wink, "You've got promise Jaune, if I'm free I'll help you out sometime, but as for now, I think it's time to have some proper battles, ain't that right gramps?"

"Indeed," Ozpin replied, "However, having discovered a few of the students eavesdropping on my discussions with team RWBY, I would like to extend this event to the members of team SSSN also, as they have proven to be a much-appreciated asset to this academy, is this a workable arrangement?"

"No problems with me," Albion replied calmly as he walked back to his team and eyed up all of the potential opponents they may be facing, "Time to show you what my guys can do!"

Hope you liked it, three big fights coming up in the next chapter!
