Training Arc: Vale 5
Hi folks here comes thee next chapter. Hope that it is fine.
Trewill91: Well, yes Blake will be pretty much the canon cat, who we all love. She will not get any power ups, but that does not mean, that she´ll be unimportant.
MizoreShyrarukiFan: I know and I am sorry. Chibi chapter are just small chapters, that I´ll bring out, when I had not the time to write full chapters. Maybe I make an actually chibi version of this in the future.
Nopeite Nopeite nope: Thanks, cool name by the way.
I do not own RWBY, I do own the Drakid.
The Bar was a shithole. That was the best and only way to describe it. Bodies of men, who had definitely to much of their favorite drink, lay around and one had to be weary to not accidentally step on a limb. Sparsely clad women served the drinks and the food here. They were undoubtedly women from the slums, girls who willingly endured the groping and sexual harassment of the scum here, girls who had no other choice, but to work here.
Qrow was no stranger to such bars, but not for the reason one might think. It was correct, that he liked to drink a fair amount of alcohol, he had every reason too, with his team being either dead (Summer), evil AND his sister (Raven) or a blond, blue eyed bastard who claims all the hot chicks for himself with zero effort (it is obvious who that is), despite being nowhere near as cool or as badass as him. Or because one of his two nieces, who he had to look after, was turned into a blood- and brain slurping and guts devouring monster, that decided to behave nice (he still loved Ruby, but that didn´t mean, that he did not freak out, when he saw how she swallowed a bunny alive), while the other one had turned from a fun loving Taiyang into a Raven.
That was like changing to a psychopathic, puppy kicking, ungrateful, emotionless bitch, when you´ve been a party loving, freethinking, nice, helpful, kitten-charity committing succubus before. And judging how Yang´s body developed, he held no doubt that she would´ve been the same boys and girls seducing demon like her father had been.
He could still remember Tai´s face, when the first guy confessed to him. That had been the proof for him, that there was still justice in the world. He and Raven had laughed so hard, they nearly pissed themselves. And Clark didn´t give up on fancying his brother-in-law. He engaged Summer even in a fierce race for his heart. And the fact that both were massive geeks, who took pickup line and tactics straight out of movies made only better.
His personal favorite will always be how they "accidentally" pushed him into a pool, while they just so happened to have cloths with them, that fitted Taiyang. Or he was pretty sure that that had been their plans, but they merely gawked at Tai´s soaking wet form, before fainting because of all the blood that rushed into their heads.
After years of such behavior of the two, who became, how did Summer put it, best of friends, despite being after the same cookie, Raven finally snapped, which led to her grabbing Taiyang, kissing him in front of them and then pulling him into the nearest closet too, how did Tai put it, use him like a willing sex toy until he was nearly broken.
Qrow had hoped that, after seeing how his sister face-raped Tai and hearing how she fucked his brains in a closet out, he would finally get some attention and that had actually happened, just not the kind of attention he wanted.
Summer, deeply upset about what had happened, threw himself into his arms and cried for hours. He took care of her and even made her cookies, rather decent ones (it took him days and hundreds of tries to get some, that were eatable). He was quite happy with that until he just so happened to overhear her talking about him with her gay best friend Clark, while he was in his birdform.
Not only did she say, that she only saw him as friend, her detailed narration of how he took care of her made someone else very interested in him. In short, it tore team STRQ nearly in pieces. Summer was angry at Raven, he was angry at Taiyang and Taiyang had simply not idea what was going on. But then came that mission.
The Teachers noticed of course how bad it stood with beacons top team and send them on a EASY mission where they should investigate sightings of a ghost and the disappearances of people.
That easy first year mission became one of the hardest mission he ever had. Period. It ended with Summer unconscious because of her first ever using her eyes, Raven nearly crippled, Taiyang comatose and with himself only escaping death, because of the intervention of a strange green haired girl, who had clung to him ever since. Said girl had been the "Ghost" of Martel.
She fought of the person who was responsible for the disappearances. Sadly said person was not the one, who had so completely destroyed t Beacon´s best in combat. That had been the green haired girl.
Qrow downed his drink in one go and ordered another one, despite the alcohol here tasting like horse piss.
He got still angry when he thought just how near he and his team had come to a first class meeting with death. Given yes, it had fused their team closer together and they were, Summer words, all sugar and cookie again, but they still nearly died by Raven attacking someone who was way over her, because she just assumed something.
Plus Taiyang just wouldn´t stoop teasing him about his "invisible" girlfriend after everything was over and he recovered from the brain damage he got from fighting her. Qrow doubted that Peach even knew what sex was. The woman was technically a teacher at Beacon, but she did not teach anything. Oz only hired her to keep her close. Her semblance was an anomaly, one of the few cases where it was more than just an ace up in her sleeve.
It was because of her Semblance, why Qrow had been unable to beat Paladin Peach once in all this years since he knew her. But he wouldn´t want that semblance even for all the booze of the world. It had fucked with Peaches life a million times more than his little bad luck charm ever had with him.
She was supposed to meet him here.
"She probably saw a butterfly on her way, chased it and than lost her sense of direction." thought Qrow, "that is exactly, why I don´t take her more often to missions with me. She may be stronger than, but that does not change, that she is also such a damn airhead!"

The brown furred rabbit concentrated all it´s strength on it´s legs, desperately trying to escape it´s doom. But it stood no chance against the predator that sought to devour it.
Ruby quickly overtook the rabbit and kicked it against the nearest tree. The force behind the kick smashed it´s internal organs and bones and turned it into a bloody mess, killing it instantly.
The red-scaled Drakid began to eat it´s flesh immediately. Not that she had anything against it, if Yang cooked it but it just tasted more natural when she ate it raw. The feeling she got when she hunted her pray down, when she caught it and slammed her fangs into it, when she ripped parts of flesh out of it´s body, the pure experience of how it´s blood sprayed over her, how it´s pitiful attempts to defend itself slowly died down, it satisfied primal urges inside her.
Besides Yang wasn´t allowed to make any fire, cause the smoke could attract people so near to a big city. Ruby was confident that they could not recognize what she truly was, given her suit, but it would still raise the question, what two young girls, who were heavily armed, did in the dangerous wildness. Not many people knew, that she even existed. The reason for that was, that a old friend of Qrow did something funny with the minds of the people on Patch, that made them forget her entirely had her Uncle explained to her.
Which meant that today Yang will have to eat raw flesh as well today. She was more than used to eating flesh uncooked as this was far from the only time, when she was forced by the circumstances (or Qrow) to eat her food in it´s natural consistence.
She stared down at the bloody leftovers of what had once been a rabbit. She had eaten more for her own amusement than for it´s flesh. She need far larger amounts of flesh, not only for her self but for her sister as well.
She closed her eyes and breathed out. The excitement of hunting and killing her pray pumped through her, made her livid, enforced something deep inside her, something that demanded more. More hunting. More blood. More killing.
She could hear a herd of deer not five-hundred meter away. With nothing but her ears, she could make their movement out. Their sharing in the grass. Their rubbing against trees, unaware of the cruel fate that awaited them, delivered by an equally cruel predator.
She hoped that her pray were out in an opening, that would enable her to strike them out of the sky, her preferred hunting method. They wouldn´t notice until she was under them and then would it be to late.
Ruby giggled in excited anticipation of what she was about to do, before spreading her beautiful, red wings and shooting herself gen sky. She asked herself what her did at the moment and if she had as much fun as she had.

Yang put the left Dragon fang exhausted down. For the last two had she repaired, cleaned and polished her weapons, which were all battered and dirty because of her battle against Qrow. And her weapons were not only ones who fitted that description.
Yang allowed her hands to run through her hair they didn´t even make it halfway through until they got stuck in the never ending mess, that was her hair. Qrow had reprimanded her again and again until she had found ways to counter each of the problems he had presented her.
She did not even understand herself, why she was so fixed on letting it stay, allowing it to grow in that way. It was not even pretty or something like that. Not that she cared about her appearance, she walked around most of the day in a golden battle armor after all.
She guessed, that she just did not want lose it. In earlier years, prior to the incident that changed her and her sisters life, an incident, that she had caused, she had used to love her hair. Everyone had always complimented on it.
After the incident she had looked on her hair with disgust. It stood more than everything else for the stupid girl, that had tugged her little defenseless sister into near death. She had been so full of herself, so sure that they would find Raven, that women, that she refused to call mother, that she had condemned herself to almost certain death.
But she found neither death nor that women that day. She escaped with some bruises. It was Ruby who will forever pay for it. She had planned to cut it off, but something had stopped her. Again and again. It took her some time to realize the reason, why she could not cut that infernal blonde mane of her head. It had been the last thing, that truly connected her to the Yang of the past. That Yang she despised so much and yet did not seem capable of cutting of completely.
Then one night she swore to herself, that she would ask Ruby if she should cut her hair. If she said yes, than she would cut it of and with it her weak, innocent side altogether. She did it ensured, that her sister would answer that simple answer over her hairstyle with yes.
Ruby knew it somehow, that there had been more to that Question, that there were an unsaid thing in the air, that would be decided if she answered. That her answer would decide over the fate of her sister, that it would determine the path she would go in her life.
Yang could remember exactly how she changed into her "thinking pose", before saying the word.
It had been No, Ruby wanted, no pleaded her to stay the same, to not change.
Hearing her answer, Yang made the decision: For Ruby she would be the same weak Sister, the same foolish Sister, the same stubborn Sister, she would be the big Sis, that Ruby needed and that she deserved. Only for her, she would remain the same.
That did however not change the fact that it was freaking impossible to care for ones hair, when said Person had no possible way to clean it.
One last look on her weapons told her, that she had done everything she could and that rest would fall to weapon maniac Ruby Rose.
She stood up and stretched her arms and legs. She was sore from the fight with Qrow. She should go wash herself in the nearby river. It would be good for her pained limbs. What could go wrong?
2 hours later
Charles Duke saw himself always as a person with positive outlook, someone who stood up in the morning ready to tackle all challenges in his ways with a kind smile on his face.
Which was the reason, why drove his car way above speeds it should drive normally with, while cursing violently in front of the three blond children in his car, of which one was knocked out and had clear signs of physical abuse, while the other two had just witnessed how their father had been tackled by young Drakid, that had blood all over it. How could a simple forest walk go so wrong.
OOOOOHHHH. Nether tempt Murphy Yang. How could it come to that situation? And what do you think is Peachs semblance? Please write in the reviews.
