Chapter 10: Tiger of Scorching Flames
(Jayden POV)
After having some rest and sleep, I got up to prepare all my weapons and make sure Chrysaor is in top condition as this is our first mission that has one of the Order's Tiger Generals in it. If we can capture this fiend, we stand a chance to destroy the Order before they can rise to an empire. As I strap Chrysaor and put on my armor, Krish was wearing his long orange overcoat of his and Mei was checking Red Crow as she is already ready in her combat attire. As the three of us finished our preparations, we leave our dorm room and head to the air docks.
As I head to the air docks with Mei and Krish, the three of us stumbled with team CFVY and they were heading to class as we are heading to our mission. Velvet then gave me a quick peck on the cheek and left, I stood there a little shocked till Krish shake me awake and we continue to the air docks. As we arrive to the air docks, our six apprentices are all there in their full combat attire and all their equipment seem to be there. As the nine of us enter the Blackbird that is piloted by Billy and the Blackbird crew consisting of 10 SSH members under Billy.
The Blackbird then begin to fly away from Beacon and slowly head its way to Jaune Arc's hometown, as we sit in the Blackbird Krish then begins to explain the plan once more. "Alright, everyone I will explain the objectives of our mission again. We are here today to stop a possible attack on this town by eliminating the presence of the Hybrids and the Grimms and also capture one of the five Tiger Generals of the Order who is leading this expedition of theirs. So far, we only have reports that there are at least 5 cardinals and 50 footmen of the Order and they bring with them the Dragamanking, 4 Typhon Guards, 6 Dragamantites and 12 Boar Riders along with countless of regular Grimm that they scour and capture around the town."
I then begin to speak, "This is normally a bad idea to do, but we need to split up for this one. As we head to the town I worry that it will be attacked, so I propose that two teams' attacks the enemy in a surprise and one team stay in the town as a precaution in case the Hybrids unleashed their Grimm brethren on us. Mei, I think you team should stay back to defend the town in the case of an attack while Krish and my team readied to attack the enemy and capture the Tiger General. You have the support of the Blackbird squadron to help defend the town if we don't arrive back in time, I'll go tell Billy to be ready for anything and to not leave first."
Krish then finishes the meeting with some words, "Alright, we have all heard the plan and we have heard the strategy. Now, one of the most important aspects is to make sure that every member of the team survives and of course the mission is successful. If any of our team members is injured critically, the mission will be aborted and we will send the injured team member back. So, to prevent this we must always cover each other. Is that understood?" Everyone then responds with "Yes, Sir!" As I head to the pilot's deck to tell Billy our plans, Krish is meditating and Mei is reading a book. As my own two apprentices are preparing their weapons while chitchatting among themselves, I look into the files that contained information about the mission. As I wondered what kind of person this Tiger General is, the Blackbird landed in the air docks of the town.
As the nine of us exit the Blackbird and Mei's team stayed behind in the town while Krish's and my team head to the forest surrounding the town. As I put on my hood and draw out Chrysaor, I direct William and Katherine to scale the forest via treetops and the three of us together climbed up to the treetops and begin to scale through the forest while Krish and his team slowly track their way through the forest grounds.
As I and my team traverse through the treetops, Katherine spotted their patrol men and we stopped to observe where they are going and then we quickly follow them from above. Then, the patrol stopped and I jumped down to air assassinate 2 of the patrol men and my apprentices did the same with the remaining guards. I then picked up a small flask containing a dark shadowlike material that I presumed must be made from the same material as the Grimm. I keep the flask for Miss Aqua to examine and we were going to climb back up till we heard a chant of a fire spell and I head to the source to see that Krish was fighting against 2 Typhon guards and 2 squads of enemy soldiers.
(Mei POV)
As I stay behind in the town, I asked Jimmy and Selena to fly around the town to look out for incoming Grimm attacks and any signs of the Tiger General. I readied Garuda and begin to check the perimeter with Garuda's scope and as I was trying to pinpoint the town gates, I suddenly hear a scream of a girl and when I use the scope to pinpoint where the noise is. There are at least 6 Boar Riders and herds of Boarbatusks and I immediately contacted the Blackbird crew to prepare their weapons and to inform the town mayor to evacuate the citizens.
As I direct Jimmy and Selena to the Grimm, I begin to fire at the Boar Riders and shot one in the head while I shot the Boarbatusk in the chest. I then shot several more shots that kill the raging Boarbatusk herd and Jimmy was firing at the Boar Riders with Jupiter and Hyperion while Selena was firing Artemis at the Boarbatusk herd as well. As the three of us deal with the Grimm attack, Billy direct the Blackbird crew to evacuate the citizens and then the Dragamantites appear with packs of Beowulf and they had to engage with the second Grimm attack.
After the three of us have dealt with the Boar Riders and the Boarbatusk herd, we quickly head to where the Blackbird crew is and was going to back them up when a blonde man was holding a sword he borrow from the Blackbird Crew, he quickly slay and decimate the Dragamantites and the Blackbird crew finish off the packs of Beowulf. As the Blackbird crew quickly returns to help evacuate the citizens, I approach the blonde man and asked him, "Who are you?" He then looks at us and said, "You're the hunters that the Academy sent?" We nodded and then he faced up with the borrowed sword on his shoulder and then he said to us, "My name is John Arc and I presumed you're taking good care of my son." We nodded and then he begins to walk back to his house and he said to us, "I'll be keeping this sword with me for a while, might need it in case of an emergency. You don't mind, don't you little lady?" I just nodded and said to him, "Keep it."
Jimmy then asked me as we went to our lookout point to keep guard of the town, "Mei, should we enter the forest and engage the enemy as well?" I then look at him and shook my head, "No, we must stay here" Then, Selena said to Jimmy "Mei's right, there's no telling what the Tiger General might do next if we leave the town unguarded and we can't depend too much on the Blackbird crew." He then flies up and says to the both of us, "then, I will just scout around the town for a while. Is that ok, Mei?" I then nodded and he flew away while Selena is tightening the bowstring of Artemis. I then reload Garuda and readied my sniping position once more.
(Krish POV)
(Earlier before Jayden and I split up) As Jayden's team traverse through the forest via the treetops, my team and I walk through the forest grounds and I told the both of them to be ready for anything. As we walked through the forest, I overheard a voice commanding the Cardinals and the footmen Squads to attack the town and I quickly lit up my hands with some fire and was going to fire at the enemy until a Typhon Guard knocked me from behind and 2 footmen squads were pointing their weapons at the three of us.
As Jayden and his team arrived to help us fight against the Typhon guards and the Ursa Majors plus the 2 footmen squads, I was firing various fire spells at the Ursa Majors and Isaac used his aura and light Eternia in flames and begin to fight the Typhon Guards while Cathleen was using various bombs to injure and take out the enemy squads. I then cast some Ankh shaped fire spells at the Typhon guard and break its neck with a swift and strong kick to the side of its head. As Isaac and Cathleen also finished handling their respective foes with the help of Jayden's team, the six of us quickly head to the center of the forest to look for the Tiger General.
As the six of us reach the center of the forest, we discover the Dragamanking leading the remaining Typhon Guards and Boar Riders together with the hordes of beowolves, Ursa Majors and Boarbatusk plus the remaining three squads of enemy footmen and their cardinal captains. The six of us then quickly engage the enemy with haste and I launch a fire spread spell that forces the enemy to stop advancing and they quickly charge at us.
As the Dragamanking reared its head at me and roared, I quickly cast a spell on my fist and fire a strong fire spell at the Dragamanking's head, causing it to back away in pain. As the rest were fighting the Grimm army, I was throwing punches and firing fire spells at the Dragamanking. I didn't want to use my semblance just yet in case the Dragamanking could absorb his flames and use it against him. I then jump up and roundhouse kick the Dragamanking to the ground as it tries to roar again, I fire some Ankh shaped fire spells at the Grimm's mouth and slammed it down to the ground. With one final stomp on the Grimm's skull, I killed it and the Alpha Beowolves that were following the Dragamanking begin to charge at me.
Jayden was slicing the Boar Riders with Chrysaor and his two disciples were fighting the Boarbatusk herd with bloodlust in their eyes while Isaac and Cathleen were handling the Typhon Guards and Ursa Majors. The enemy soldiers then charged at me guns blazing and swords shining, I then grinned and activate my semblance summoning my Jinn. Ifrit, the bird headed Djinn then begin to fire a barrage of fire Ankh spells at the incoming enemy and I charge at the remaining enemy soldiers with my fists lit up with orange flames as I begin to pummel and kick the soldiers to submission.
As the six of us finished off the enemy with little to no injuries but tired, we then look around the area for signs of the Tiger General and as I order Isaac, Cathleen, William and Katherine to split up and we let Jayden continue looking for the Tiger General. That General is one of the five strongest hunters of the Order of Humanity, apparently he is a fire user just like me but right now I need to find this guy and hopefully capture him. As my team hurry to another side of the forest to scour for the General, he appears before Jayden in a flash.
(Jayden POV)
As the Tiger General appeared before me, he was a middle aged hunter with shoulder long red hair and piercing red eyes like that of a Grimm. He was wielding a bright red broadsword with a blood red gauntlet on his other arm, with an unusual fiery aura that he generates from the ground. He stepped forward and then points at me and says "YOU! Are you ready to die, young man?"
I then draw out Chrysaor and said, "Chrysaor, Awaken and unleash your wrath to your foes!" As the blade is first glowing bright blue, then bright purple with power tendrils flowing out of the blade. I then point the blade at the General and said, "I demand to know your name, who are you?"
He then points his broadsword at me and said, "Interesting, I am the one they call The Tiger of Scorching Flames. My name is Aleister Dorminic and I am one of the five strongest human hunters to have served the Order. Now, tell me your name young one before I end your life." I then looked at him and smirked, I then said to him as I point the sword at him.
"I am no young man; I am one of the strongest elite hunters that Beacon Academy and Vytal has ever seen. I am the one they call the Warrior of Blades and I am pretty sure that I can skin a flaming tiger or two. My name is Jayden Lucia Hawksford and you will be the one that will fall today!" As I finish my declaration and he growled at me, he then said "Then, Let us duel to see who can kill who first!"
As he charge at me with his sword up in the air and I thrust the sword to the ground and chant, "I am the one they call the warrior, I am the one that wields the Godly blade of light, I command you to stand your ground and tremble before me! Godly Tremor!" As the ground begin to shake roughly as the Tiger general lost his footing and fall to the ground. I then pulled out the sword and chant again, "I am the one they can trust, I am the one that will channel their rage, I command you to deliver your wrath to this blade! Wrath of the Gods!" As I raised Chrysaor and slash downwards at the general, sending a bright purple arc of aura at him. As he got up, he was struck by the blow and he was slammed to a tree by the arc of energy.
He then got up in a rage and picks up his sword, he then channels his aura into the blade and slashes at me with a red arc of energy and I blocked the blow with my blade, as he quickly charged at me with the blade high in the air I slash upwards at him and the both of us cross blades. As the both of us strike blows at each other with our blades, I kicked his blade away and jumped back as he begin to channel his aura into his blade. I then draw out my throwing knifes and throw it at him as the blades explode on impact, sending him flying to another tree. I then grinned at the general who was slammed to the tree and said, "Is that all you got, I expect more from the Tiger of Scorching Flames."
He then quickly got up and slashes at me upwards and grazed my shoulder, I then back away and growl at him as I draw out more knives with my left hand and hold Chrysaor with my right hand. I then throw the knives at him and slashed another arc of energy at him. As he blocks the knives and arc of energy, I begin to chant again "I am the one that brings the light, I am the one that will shine above all, I command you to release your radiant glory before my foes! Godly Light!" As a blinding flash of light paralyzed and blinded the general, I quickly charge up and slash at his shoulders and arms.
He then falls to the ground, injured and bleeding from the wound that was inflicted on him. I then sheathe my sword and was going to chained him myself when two figures from above quickly slash at me and injured my shoulders and I fell down on the ground, bleeding. As the two figures quickly stood up and look at me, they then said to me "If it isn't the Warrior of Blades and you took out the Tiger of Scorching Flames, interesting. But you're going to need more than that to slay a Tiger General, Raimon pick up Dorminic and let's get out of here." As the two figures quickly left the area with the unconscious Tiger general in tow, I collapsed from the lack of aura and blood.
(Katherine POV)
As Krishnan ordered the four of us to look for the so called Tiger general, I walked around and felt so bored that I slash a tree with Kaga-tsuchi and accidentally burned it. Umm, it was an accident…? Well, anyway I suddenly heard Jay Jay's voice and the sound of blades clashing and I quickly head to the source to see him fighting with a guy in red and I wanted to help but a hand stopped me and I saw that it was William who stopped me.
I then asked him, "Hey Willy, Why did you stop me? Shouldn't we help Jay Jay?" He then looked at me and said, "We shouldn't interfere with the mentor's battle, not unless something bad happens. In the meantime, I think we should go and get Krish and his team." I then nodded and the both of us jumped away to look for Krish and his team.
As we head to the edge of the forest, we saw some scattering Beowolves and quickly killed all of them, after we killed the scattering beowolves Krish and his team appeared before us with Mei and her team as well. As the eight of us quickly head to where Jay Jay is, we were all surprised to see that he was beaten and bleeding from both shoulders. We then quickly carried him back to the town of Dalme and he was admitted to the local clinic for emergency treatment.
As the doctor treat Jay Jay's wounds, the eight of us informed the school that we will be staying a night in the small town and everyone was just glad that they managed to complete the mission, though how did he managed to be defeated is what everyone must be wondering right now.
The eight of us then head back to the Blackbird to have some rest and Krish was sitting on a chair, reading a book on fortune telling and shuffling his deck of tarot cards and Mei was sleeping soundly on her seat. As William and I begin to sleep on our seats, so does the other 2 pairs as well.
(The next morning) As we all woke up and walked to the clinic that Jay Jay was hospitalized to, the eight of us saw him awake and leaning on his bed. He grinned at us and said, "Miss me?" As everyone was glad he was ok, Krish then begins to ask him something. "Jayden, what happened in the forest yesterday?" As Jay Jay look at Krish and said to him, "Well…It's a long story, if you want to hear it then I don't mind telling I guess…"
As he finished telling us what happened to him yesterday, we were shocked to hear that he was ambushed by what seems like two other Tiger Generals. Then Krish ask Jay Jay a question, "So, you're trying to tell me that you managed to defeat the first Tiger General but you were ambushed from above by possibly two other generals?" He then gave Krish a look and said, "Yeah, this place is probably one of their testing grounds for their various experiments… I think we should hurry back to report this to Ozpin…" As he quickly got up and undo the bandages to see that his wounds have disappear.
As the nine of us head back to Beacon via the lovely black dust plane aka the Blackbird, I was just thinking about the name Aleister Dorminic and I hope he isn't who I think he is. As Jay Jay was trying to read his manga in silence, Jimmy was disturbing him and pestering him whether he has any more mangas or not, I was just trying to find something to talk about but William was talking to his childhood friend and Cathy was reading her book like always. As I find virtually nothing to do in the dust plane, I decide to just sleep until we arrive back in Beacon.
(Krish POV)
As the Blackbird arrive back in Beacon Academy in the evening, the nine of us got off and I asked the six apprentices to go and have their rest while team KMJ report to professor Ozpin. It was lucky that I order them to do so as some of the girls like Katherine who usually is active is now sleeping on William as he carries her back, as the six of them leave back to the dorm room the three of us quickly head to the Headmaster's office.
As we arrived in professor Ozpin's office, professor Ozpin was sitting down on his chair reading a file of some sort until we entered. He then keeps the file and looks at us, "How's the mission, team KMJ?" I then begin to say to him, "Professor, we have managed to protect the town of Dalme from danger… However, we have failed to capture the Tiger of Scorching Flames due to intervention from possibly two other generals of the same level. Jayden was the one who fought the Tiger General and I am willing to bear the responsibility for the failure of the mission."
Professor Ozpin then said to us, "Krish, there's no need to worry too much about it. The most important thing is that the town of Dalme is safe from Grimm attack. When I receive more requests concerning the Order, I'll be sure to send you teams first." We then said to the professor, "Thank you, Professor!" As the three of us were going to leave the office, Professor Ozpin then said to the three of us, "What am I going to do with the reward money?" I then said to the professor, "Put it in the SSH Brigade funds, that way everyone can use it in any sort of emergency" the professor then nodded and we left the office.
(Jayden POV)
As the three of us leave the office, I thought about something. I then said to the both of them, "Krish, Mei. I think I want to do something, I think I want to cook for everyone… I guess it has been a long time since I have cooked, later tonight gather our apprentices and team CFVY, maybe team RWBY and JNPR if they have the time."
Krish then said to me, "Hmm, you did say you were good at cooking… I hope that we get to taste heaven tonight." Mei nods and looks at me. I then smile at the both of them and said, "Think of this as a treat from me and a kind of apology, I did delayed and failed part of the mission after all…" Krish then said, "Didn't the professor said there's nothing much to worry about, so there's nothing to feel guilty about now."
I then nodded and the three of us head back to the dorm to get changed and rested first, after some good 2 hour sleep I got up to change and head out to the kitchen after getting permission to use it from Miss Aqua who also wants to taste my cooking. As I arrived to the kitchen that contains virtually what I need and require, I begin cooking.
I begin cooking some dishes that my mom would always cook like Omurice, Szechuan style fish and chicken, Bolognaise pasta and Beef stew. After that, I prepare some desserts like assorted cookies, egg tarts with various types and styles, some cream puffs and pudding. I then plated all the dishes and placed all of them at the tables and wait for them to arrive.
As I hear groans and moans of people saying they are tired until they reach the kitchen area to see an elaborate table filled with various delicious dishes and desserts, I then begin to prepare some drinks for my friends as they sat down and marvel at the food. Krish then looks at me and said, "I see you've never failed to impress, huh Jayden?" I then look at him and grin, "Of course, come on then dig in."
As everyone begin eating, I served them some nice chamomile tea that refreshes a person physically and mentally. They seem to enjoy my food as I drink some wine that I secretly kept for myself. Velvet then approaches me and scoops a spoonful of Omurice and said to me, "Ahh..." I then look at her and said, "Ahh…" as I open my mouth and eat the Omurice that I cooked, it looks like my cooking skills have become better. She then smiles at said to me, "So, how does your own cooking taste?" I then look at her and grin, "Great, of course"
After they finish eating the main course dishes, I served them some dessert in which Ruby begin to wolf down the cookies while everyone enjoyed the various desserts that I made. I then sat down as they enjoyed their food and then I fall asleep on the table, as I slowly snore my way to dreamland. Velvet giggled and slowly strokes me while I am asleep while Ruby stares at me sleeping, thinking about how cute I seem to look when I sleep.
As everyone finishes eating the desserts, they all find me sleeping on the table with Velvet slowly stroking me. As some of them begin to grin and snicker at the cute couple, my apprentices then helped Krish and Mei clean up the place and dishes while I dozed off. I was then brought to my dorm room by Krish who smirked and said to Velvet, "I know you want to bring Jayden here back to your room to cuddle with but he's tired" Velvet then sticks out her tongue and blushes at the thought of cuddling me like a teddy bear.
Alright! Folks, so that's all I'm going to write for this chapter…Look forward to the next chapter where Team RWBY is going to face off against another team, a team they wished they have never challenged. Well, enough of spoilers! Time for some reading to do, until then Peace Out!
