A.N/ so back to normal chapter size. I really would like more reviews to see how the story is going or if the pacing is bad but its nice that people still like my story to follow and fav. Writing makes me happy and its good that i can make someone else happy with my writing! Anyways here is the story!
"Morning Jaune." At that moment I opened my eyes to see Ruby on top of me. I looked around the room; I saw Pyrrha and Blake almost ready. I looked over at my scroll and saw it was 9:00 am.
"Morning, where are you guys going?" I wondered if they're going to the city
"We were waiting for you to get up to train. You did say that we were going to train with Ruin. You said when we weren't going to train with them, we'd train with each-other. I figured that we needed time to get used to each other and stuff." Pyrrha finished with a shrug from her shoulders.
"Sometimes I wonder why you weren't the leader, Pyrrha. Let me get ready and I'll see you at the training ground." I have the best team ever, don't I? They left and I got ready by taking a shower and taking my notepad to write down any new information I learned from my teammates.
I arrived at the training ground to see my team getting ready for combat. I called them over and decided to start speaking.
"It's time we tell each other about our abilities, and everything to do with combat. I'll go first.
"I made sure everyone was paying attention "My semblance is necromancy. I can bring back people from the dead and either control them or merge with them, this includes Grimm. I have killed people that were trying to kill me or the innocent, so know that I have killed before." I looked around to see shocked faces from everyone but Blake, but they all stayed silent to let me finish.
"I have one person I want you to talk to, but that will be after we finish our conversation. I have a sword and shield which I can turn into anything I want to, if I have seen the thing I want it to turn into beforehand. I am skilled in almost every combat method but I haven't fought against scythe and sickle wielders, so I'll need training in that department. Who wants to go next?"
"I'll go" Ruby said in a small voice "My semblance is speed, and my max speed is Mach one, but I can only go that speed for a very short amount of time. I wield a scythe that's also a sniper rifle. I can use my scythe to also gain speed while running." Ruby finished in a cheery voice.
"My semblance is polarity." Pyrrha continued where Ruby left off. "I can control all things metal; that's how I made Yang's fireball move to the side. I can also retrieve my weapons that way too."
Blake was the last to go. "My semblance is making an afterimage of myself. I make copies of myself and use them to distract my enemy but I can also create one physical copy to help me fight. After one I don't have enough aura to create more. My weapons are pistols attached to a thread that is almost impossible to break."
"Good, now that we have this out of the way, I'm going to test all of you, besides Ruby, on your combat potential. I'll push you to the limits and then we will formulate strategies for different scenarios. Sound good?" Blake and Pyrrha nodded, while Blake was the first to step onto the training grounds.
"Blake, I'm going to send two Ursai towards you. Let's see how you deal with them." Black aura flooded the spots around me and two Ursas appeared. They charged Blake while she jumped back. She started to fire at the Grimm but they had too much bone on them. The next strategy she used was to make copies to create an opening for herself. The copies rushed my Grimm and they took the bait and slashed at the copies. One was momentarily stunned, leaving open its throat wide open. She took the chance and dashed to the Grimm, effectively killing it with her katana.
It turned into a pool of black aura and came back to me. The other one was on its feet and Blake tried the strategy again. This time my Grimm learned and didn't attack the copies waiting for the real Blake to show. Then the copies disappeared, and I saw only two Blakes. They both took on of her blades and dashed around the side of the Grimm, trapping it in the ribbon. Eventually it was encompassed by the ribbon and I deconstructed it.
"Good job Blake, but we need to work on your aura." I nodded to her and turned to Pyrrha. She took the field and so did I.
"Jaune, isn't this a test of fighting Grimm?" Pyrrha said quizzically
"Who said anything about that, I am testing your best attributes. Blakes would be stealth and fighting Grimm. Her semblance is good for fighting hordes. Yours however is more suited to fighting people. I want to see how you fare fighting me without any metal. I put on my armor but this time added hole in the back. I took crow's wings and added them to myself, making them fit my size. I could feel the new limbs form and eventually I was in the air looking down on Pyrrha. I could feel the fear and determination of her as she looked on, as well as the feeling of a craving for a good fight.
I flew down to attack and she dived to the left. I was back high in the sky and I went for an aerial attack. My feathers went in and attacked Pyrrha, but she used her shield to block them. She took out her gun and started firing, but to no avail, for her bullets didn't pierce my armor. It did sting a lot though, but my aura helped me there. I dove again but this time I didn't see Pyrrha dodge. She instead held her ground and threw the spear directly at me. She used her aura to speed it up and it hit my chest. I felt the impact and I stopped midflight. Before she could take the spear away I grabbed it and held it firm, and looked at my chest plate. She dug in a quarter of an inch of my dense 2 inch armor. I flew down and gave her the spear and powered down. After a few moments I was now old Jaune Arc.
"Pyrrha, you are definitely the person to go into combat. Ruby is ranged while Blake is good in ranged while I'm all around. Most of the training we do will be all around but here are the specific plans I have for you all. Blake, you need to have more aura reserves. Your semblance requires a lot and it will be an integral part of the team."
"Pyrrha, everything about you is Amazing except that you are at a major disadvantage when fighting someone without metal. I have an idea of what we can do about that but for now your training is all around."
"Ruby, your speed is a very great resource, and it's your best attribute. We need to use your speed to increase your strength with your scythe, because I see that it isn't the maximum potential you have, but then again, I know nothing about scythes so I might be wrong. We also will spar with each other and exploit each other's weaknesses to their full extent. For now, let's all make strategies for different scenarios."
I turned to Blake, feeling a swell of pride in her. Why was she feeling pride? That's strange.
"Okay, my question is who that guy you wanted us to talk too was?" Ruby said.
"Almost forgot, thanks for reminding me. I want you all to be calm when I get him here. I'm going to be honest, I did kill him, but he's nice now and undercover in the White Fang." I pictured roman and he appeared in front of me, with all three of thematic their faces in complete surprise.
"What? Have you never seen some one as amazing as me?" Roman loved his sarcasm and dry humor, and I wouldn't take that away from him.
"But you are a bad guy! How are you here?" Ruby looked like she could be toppled by a small gust of wind, she was that surprised. Pyrrha on the other hand had her spear out and near his throat
"Relax, didn't you listen to what Jauney said?" Roman said, a playful tone to his voice. Roman, smooth talker like always.
"You are the person Jaune was talking about?" Blake asked with confusion
"Guys, Roman is a good guy. Sure he was bad but he's making leaps and bounds in the right direction." I hope they can understand that, he really is a guy I trust, I mean I can tell when he's lying but that's beside the point.
"So if we accept this, what's the point of you meeting us?" Blake questioned me.
"We will have to fight many enemies on a one v four scenario. It helps to have practice like that. I don't think hitting each other is a very good thing to do." I looked at Blake and saw she was satisfied. I looked at Pyrrha and Ruby and knew that they still had to be convinced.
"Roman uses tactics that we normally wouldn't think of, and he uses the terrain to his advantage, something we normally wouldn't do." At least Pyrrha's on my side right now
"Ruby, isn't there a story when a bad guy turns good?" Ruby had a dawning look and she nodded to me.
"Now that everyone is okay with him, I want you all to know that he will be joining us in most of our sparring matches. Most of them will be when you three fight me." I almost took out my scroll and took a picture of their faces when they heard me say that.
"Now that we have that out of the way, let's make some plans for anything that can come up during combat."
Ruby suggested giant man-terrorizing robots.
"I don't think a giant robot will be attacking us Ruby." Pyrrha looked at ruby confused.
"Red's actually right, we are getting mechs for the White Fang. That reminds me, I have to be back there Jaune." Roman tapped me on the shoulder and nodded. Like that, he was a pool of aura going away to whatever place he needed to be.
"I will never get used to that." I could actually see Blake shiver.
"So guys, what plans should we try first, hordes of Grimm or many people?" I'll let them decided, why not. They all huddled up and they talked so I couldn't hear them. I could see ruby moving her arms around and Blake moving her arms towards me. The first one to talk was Blake.
"We want to fight you, the three on one." That was unexpected, this will be fun.
"Ok then, choose one of them and start the match, I'll be waiting in the corner." I walked into the corner smiling the entire way. This will defiantly be exciting.
"We're ready!" Ruby shouted to me. I saw that the three of them were in their fighting stance. I got into my armor and started walking towards them.
Ruby was the first to act, shooting me with her sniper, keeping her blade in the ground for more stability. The next person to act was Pyrrha, on one knee shooting me as well. Then I looked to the side and saw Blake with a clone running towards me. I saw the strategy that she was using, trying to capturing me with her ribbons. I knew that I had to dodge them, but I also had to worry about Pyrrha and Ruby. Pyrrha took the chance for me focusing on Blake for her to throw her spear at my armor.
It was stuck just like last time but the shock of being hit without knowing it was coming was very hard to deal with. The spear slipped out of my hands and went back to Pyrrha and I saw the ribbons come at me. I was about to jump back, but Ruby came in close and attacked. She was going hand to hand, and she was terrible at it. I'll need to make her practice that more, maybe even get her lessons with her sister. Nevertheless it did what it was supposed to. Blake eventually got the bow around me and I was tied up.
"Good job guys, I think that was great for the first time we trained." After I said that I heard a collective sigh from the company around me.
