Ok guys, this is an idea I have had for awhile and wanted to do it..so why not with the parents there to see it..anyways..here is Chapter 21!

The next day, all the students were eating in the dining hall, idly chatting about the battles today, none of them knew what was to be expected till one of the monitors blinked to life and Ozpin was onscreen. The Headmaster paused for a moment then began.

"Students of Beacon, today you will be proving too your parents how strong you have become in the short time here, some of your parents have already seen this or have experienced this first hand, but now its time to prove that Beacon is the top school for training hunters." He Paused for the oncoming cheers from the students "Further more...you must have been wondering about how the battles work..." a window popped up next to him "students and teams will be randomly chosen, the battles will range from one students, a team, a team made up of random selected students, or multiple teams lead by a single leader. These battles will show how adaptable you are in battle, as you will not always fight with the ones you know best." He llet the window disappear "also, headmasters from others schools will be watching and a few have brought you opponents, some will be androids, others might be Grimm.." he seemed to pause for a short time "Students..there is danger in this, we do have hunters on standby to keep from serious life threaten instances from happening..but I will tell you now..gear up as if this was a real hunt...your matches will be sent to you scrolls now." he then clicked off.

The chimes of scrolls went off all around the dining hall as students checked them. Teams TGSN, RWBY and JNPR checked there and blinked. Their match up was their three teams fighting a single enemy brought by a rival school "well then..." Yang blinked "that's a thing" the rest agreed and decided to head to the armory to arm themselves for their match.

As they were in the armory, once in a while a parent of their group would show up, give words of encouragement and even drop off an item to their child for the battle.

(I will now be outfitting one team at a time)

TGSN

Tai pulled out his gear from his locker and began to dress. He decided he might need a bit more armor so he slid on a pair of greaves and armored boots, a pair of gauntlets and a skin tight armored shirt. he then reached into his locker and pulled out his trench coat and slid it on, feeling his arms were to bare he put of some more armor to cover his exposed arms. He next took out some some specialized dust ammo clips and slid them into pouches on his belt, finishing it off with two combat knives, slid into a double sheath on the back of his belt.

Guinevere took the entire hour to get herself ready. She was covering herself head to toe in dust treated armor, not an inch of skin visable once she was done, except her face which would be once she donned her helmet, Svetlana made a comment about her looking like a man when she was fully armored, the thick plates hiding her womanly figure. She then picked up her large round shield and fastened it to her left forearm. She then picked up her main weapon, a large rocket propelled Lance called The Queens Needle. The rest found it wear that even in over 100 pounds of gear..she still moved as it she was wearing a dress.

Svetlana didn't take longer to done her armor. Her armor seemed to be made of the skin of a Ursa Major, the Ursa,s face plate was set over her face like a menacing mask. she was wearing dust treated pouldrons, forearm guard, and greaves, all of which were engraved with ruins from her culture.

Nirvana was the quickest of them all, only sliding on her Boom Boots and a pair of matching gauntlets what had speakers imbedded into them as well. Other then that she didn't wear anything more then she normally did.

JNPR

Jaune smiled as he opened a box his father brought and began to get dressed. His father had brought him a set of light armor, colored white and had the Arc crest embezzled across the chest plate. The chest plate didn't take long to attack as it worked much like his old one, but Pyrrha had to held with the gauntlets, armored thigh guards and greaves. He soon clipped his sword onto his waist, and nodded that he was ready.

Nora was happy with her new armor as it made pretty noises when she moved. Nora was dressed in a plain chain mail shirt and skirt, a pair of rough leather pants under them along with leather gloves and boots. She was also wearing a Norse style helmet her father had decided to pass down to her. She bounced a bit and then attached her belt, a few grenade canisters on it for throwing. Her grenade hammer was strapped to her back by now as she signaled she was ready to go.

Pyrrha was getting more in touch with her warrior roots. She was currently putting on a thicker bronze breast plate, her legs covered in her usually armor, up a longer leather and bronzed skirt was added to cover even more. Her small buckler was attacked to her back in favor to a larger spartan round shield and a sword was strapped to her waste in case there was no time to get to her weapon. She must of looked good because Jaune couldn't stop staring.

Ren wore most of his armor under his normal combat clothing, keeping it easy for him to move. He did change his top to be sleeveless and hand leather and metal guards around his arms and such, his hands were covered in a pair of gloves that focused Aura strikes to be more surprised everyone was the sword he had attached to his back, none of them knew he had sword training. The blade was a standard oriental straight sword called a Jian.

RWBY

Ruby didn't change her outfit much much, only adding light armor pieces to her legs to keep them from being injured in the fight. she did replace her outfit with a tighter version to be able to move more easily without bulk but it looked a lot like her usual combat outfit. Her belt was outfitted with a few more pouches for clips and ammo.

Weiss had changed her outfit completely, going from her elegant jacket and skirt to a Dueling coat and pants. she was wearing a light pair of greaves and a vambrace on her left arm, while her right was completely covered in lightweight armor. Her right shoulder had a black pouldron with the Schnne symbol on it, from the pouldron came a long black dueling cloak, which made metallic noises as it moved, giving away the flexible armor platting inside. Her belt had a few more pouches of dust and a few cylinders on her belt were ready to go for fast reloading. With a flip of her hair and sheathing her rapier, the heiress was ready.

Blake had traded her outfit for a tighter and sleeker one, it mostly being black and hugged her body, armored pieces were spaced out to allow freedom of movement but close enough to protect her. she had kunai and such strapped to her thighs. the lightweight and tight armor must of looked good cause she caught Tai staring with a blush.

Yang even worse some armor to the fight. her arms and leg were covered in yellow and black light armor plates and was was her top, her having to wrap her chest a bit to fit. her midriff was completely exposed to allow freedom of movement with her brawler fighting style. Her belt also sported many pouches for ammo and such.

The three teams looked each other over and double checked their partners gear before leaving. Tai took one last look in his locker, looking at a large black object that was chained up "If i need you...I'll call the locker in.." he mumbled and shut the door on his first weapon...

The three teams now waited in the staging area, some standing, other sitting, a few pacing and itching to fight. Pyrrha, Jaune, Weiss, and Tai were all watching a screen, it seemed the event was televised and they were watching Team CRDL fight a Squad of outdated AK-120 droids.

The battle was over quickly, the older bots unable to keep up with the hunter and were utterly destroyed. Now they were up next, but were stopped as their headmaster came in, greeting them all

"Hello teams RWBY. JNPR, and TGSN" he nods to them and sipped his coffee "out of the three teams..you have 3 team leaders...when you get on the field of battle...one of you will be selected to leader your entire group, the other two will act as second in commands and take over in the leader is taken out." he looked at them and seemed to look...distracted "I have been informed you will be fighting a Grimm...which type..i don not know..but make me proud..you three are some of the best 1st years that came this year." and with that he left them, allowing them to get on the lift that would take them to the arena.

As they reached the arena, they could hear the announcers, what was this a sporting event?

"So Tom, have you ever heard of these teams?" one asked the others

"No Dave, but one of them is the Schnee heiress, and another is younger Ruby Rose, skipped two years to be here."

The doors to the lift opened and they were in the middle of the area.

"looks like a battle ready bunch Tom...well lets see who their leader is!" a screen began to shuffle between Jaune, Ruby and Tai.

The screen stopped on Tai and he grumbled, not liking the idea of leading then entire group into battle.

He then realized there was a crowd of other students and parents watching them, the crowd protected by a large force field like bubble. Tai Judged the arena was roughly the side of a football stadium and began to worry a bit...what would they be fighting?

Meanwhile in the stands, Ozpin was sitting with another Headmaster but the name of Mobius

"I hope you will enjoy this fight Ozpin" Mobius chuckled "It was no easy task to catch this Grimm"

Ozpin just looked at him, he didn't like the sound of that...and he didn't like the sound of the cry that was heard as a door at the other end of the stadium was heard, the arena floor become forest like "Mobius...you brought a..."

The older man smirked and nods "Aye...a Dragoon"

"Circle formation!" Tai yelled as they formed a circle were they stood in the clearing, tree's all around them. The clearing was about 100 feet across. Tai looked into the woulds "Call out if you spot movement" he summoned up rifle and held it in his hands at the ready, at this range from the forest he would need the rifles range.

It didn't take long for one of the member to call out, seemed to be Jaune. They all turned and looked at it

"whoa..." Was all that came from the group.

In front of them was a large Grimm, it looked like a black dragon with no wings, its body covered in large white armor plates and it sported 4 eyes. They all recognized it as a Dragoon..and by the size of it..it was a Major

"this isn't going to easy is it" Yang sighed and readied her gauntlets as the rest readied their weapons as well, Tai trying to plan his out.

"Yang, Svetlana, and Nora. Your our Strikers, go in and do some damage! Jaune, Pyrrha and Guinevere..your the most armored, it want you behind them to give support and place to fall back to. Ren, Ruby, and Weiss, you are on long range combat. Weiss, you will need to switch to support if needed, until then, Nirvana is support."

Jaune then turned "and you?"

"I will fill in where I'm needed..now move!"

The group split up into their small attack teams and began to attack.

Yang was the fastest in her group, running at the large Grimm with her fists up "here I come Ugly!" she charged and was about to throw a punch but jumped back as a large clawed arm swiped at her "whoa boy!"

Svetlana used the opening to her advantage and jumped, using her aura to strengthen it. she pulled out her twin hand axes and roared as she slammed int to distracted Grimm, staggering it which amazed the crowd, her Semblance of strength and endurance really came into play in that attack.

Nora followed up with a hard hammer strike, but had to defend as a large tail whipped at her and the shaft of her hammer, throwing her back.

The three quickly retreated behind their shield wall made of the other group and Yang yelled.

Hey this isn't working..that thing is faster then it looks!" She popped up over the wall and fired a few shots to make the Grimm retreat

"I can see that..." Tai frowned, while the strikers were hitting the long range was attacking but did near nothing to it

"Alright...Hit and Run Tactics! attack when you see an opening, but don't be reckless!" Tai tossed his rifle away in favor of his heavy pistols and joined the others in attack the Grimm.

When one attacked at the Dragoon lashed out, another would attack in the opening, but most attacks weren't doing much to the armor plating, but they were noticing they were chipping a bit.

Tai studied the Grimm and bit and blinked as he saw its mouth glow and bit and it pulled back "no...Everyone fall back! Shields up!" he yelled.

The three with shields held them up as a gout of fire spewed from the Grimm's mouth, the dust treated shields Pyrrha, Jaune and Guinevere had held up to the scorching heat.

Up in the stands, Ozpin gripped his cane a bit tighter "Mobius...that is No normal Dragoon..not only is is a Major...its an Alpha type?" Opzin glared as the older headmaster shrugged. Alpha types were known for having abilities not usually found in that type of Grimm

"Makes it interesting" was all Mobius said.

The battle raged on but they didn't go with out injury and exhaustion. Tai was tried, his bruises ached and throbbed but he stood his ground. Pyrrha had lost her shield and spear, the shield was a dented mess on the ground and her spear was currently stuck in the grimm,s plates, to far way for her polarity. Jaune's breast plate was scratched and his shield scorched, he was trying to regain his breath. Nora seemed to be unhurt but was favoring her left shoulder a bit. Ren had lost one of his guns under the heavy foot of one of the Grimm's feet and was now wield one gun and his sword.

The worst for wear was Guinevere. She was currently being patched up by Nirvana and Weiss, the knight had charged only to be caught in the chest by the Grimm's tail, denting and crumpling her chest piece and shattering other armor pieces.

"Weiss! Ice wall!" Tai commanded to which Weiss conjured up a wall of ice around the to buy them time.

Tai noticed one of those flying Camera's that they used had flown in and was looking over the injured Guinevere.

"It doesn't look good for them Tom, this one is injured badly..tough break for her"

Tai growled a bit and grabbed the camera and turned it to him , flipping it off.

"Seems their leader is angry huh Dave" the other chuckled until they saw a gun pointed at their bot and the feed went dead.

Inside the barrier, Tai finished breaking the camera bot and grumbled "piece of shit tv people" he mumbled and turned, looking his team over.

"Guinevere is out of the fight...Weiss..you too I can see your limp so don't argue. Nirvana you keep working on Guinevere and Ren Defend them." Tai looked around "Same for you Yang,,I know your hand is injured now you help guard these guys." He turned to the others. " The rest of you have bladed weapons..except Nora..now don't argue this" He looked at them "i will distract the Grimm into looking up...when i do...go for the neck got it" they all nod "good..."

After a quick breather, Tai had part of the barrier lowered and rushed out, using aura to lunch himself into the air he fired down at the Dragoon. The Grimm looked up at him and opened its maw and let out a gout of flame "Oh shit.." Tai crossed his arms in front of him and threw up his aura but it did every little as the flames swallowed him up. The rest got to the Grimm and slashed its neck wide open, thinking they killed the beast as Tai tumbled to the ground, hissing and shouting in pain as he tore the super heated armor off his arms, seeing they were badly burned. He managed to tear his scorched coat and shirt off two as he winced, his arms hanging limply, burning in the air as he hissed. His torso also sported burns from his jacket stung horribly as the air hit them "damn it.." he groaned as he watched his team retreat...at least the killed it...Right?

Ozpin let out a held breath as he saw that they were all fine...Tai was badly hurt in the fire, but alive.

"Don't think its over friend" Mobius chuckled as the Grimm began to move again "It's not dead yet"

Ozpin's eyes widen and he looked to the hunters they had on standby "Lower the field and get in there"

"No can do.." Mobius chuckled "its linked to the Grimm's vitals..and the only thing that can pass through are those lockers in the armory."You bragged they were the best..now to prove it Ozzy"

Ozpin frowned then sighed, looking down "Glynda...Ready the hunters for when the field goes down..I'm letting Tai use the King..."

Glynda want to object bu just nods, leaving to do the duty given to her

Tai watched as the Grimm's wound healed and it began to stand "No..no no!" Tai turned and ran back to his team, burns stinging the entire way. He soon reached his team and they all looked horrified at the Grimm. They then heard Ozpin's voice "Tai" He turned to look at were Ozpin was "i give you authorization...to use it"

Somewhere in the crowd, a already tense and scared Lucy tensed even more, knowing what his meant.

Tai took out his scroll slowly and winced as he punched in his code, soon his locker landed near them and he limped over, shooting the lock till it open and tossed his gun away "Ruby.." He dragged the black object out "you wanted to know what my weapon was right?

Ruby blinked and nods a bit "y-yeah?" she tried to sound excited about it

Tai was leaning against a large black coffin that was wrapped in chains "well...I'm sorry you have to see it..." He sighed and stood pushed the coffin over and began to recite something

"In the Dark We Ask For One

And In The Dark We Found One

And Now We all Cry Out For That One..."

There was a pause

"...All Hail The Mad King"

As the final word was said the top of the top of the Coffin smashed open with a evil sound, making all the other members cower back. A figure then tore out of the bo, looking like a nightmare made realty and slammed into Tai, conforming to his body with pained sounds and the screeching of metal. Soon the others saw the finished product. Standing before them was a figure in a tattered Black cloak. it looked like a suit of armor fit for a king...but dark and twisted. The helmet had a jaw, it opening slowly to let out a misty breath before it cackled quietly seeming to just be standing there.

While this went on in the outside world, Tai woke up in a Black room, candles floating around him.

"Been a long time.." a soothing voice called, making Tai look up at the voice.

There was a throne in the room, it night of once been gold but was now turned black with corruption. Atop this throne was a young man, lean and thing, but handsome. His eyes were blood ren and his hair was long and white, his complexion was very pale. Atop his head sat a cracked crown, rusted with age. He was dressed in a simple black outfit with gold trim.

"It has..." Tai stated as he sat, knowing a chair was conjured under him "I'm letting you fight and have control of my body again..." He looked away "just..Kill that Grimm and no one else..."

The male on the throne grinned a bit "Of course...and the deal to let you got after?"

"75% of my Aura can be used in battle and you get to use my Semblance." Tai stated boredly

The Mal seemed to think about this for a moment and smiled "alright deal...but you have to peel yourself out of the armor after"

"Deal" was all Tai said as the man snapped his fingers

In the real world the thing that was Tai now began to move and turned its head, cackling again, making the other back up "Don't worry..a deal was made..you will be fine!" it gleefully said in a metallic voice began the air shimmered and a large cleaver like sword fell into his hand, it seemed to be two large for a person to one hand but the armor was going it "you!" it cooed evilly at Jaune "Squire! hold this!" he tossed the blade to Jaune who caught it but fell under its wait "I'll be back for it soooon!" the armor cackled.

The armored being then began to walk towards the Dragoon who breathed fire on it but when the gout of flame died down, the armor was still there. The being then proceeded to backhand the dragoon, snapping his head hard to the side "Foolish Grimm!" It said ever to creepily "know your place!" It backhanded the Dragoon again, knocking it off its feet and onto his back, the entire team and most of the crowd gawking at this.

"Squire!" it called to Jaune "My Blade!" it held its hand out to which Jaune tried to moved but was stuck by fear and the large sword. Thankfully Tai had allowed it access to his Semblance and it just pulled the Cleaver from Jaune's hands and caught it "Thank you Loyal Squire" it cackled and swung the blade up on his shoulder and jumped onto the Grimm's exposed belly "hmmmm...ah here seems good!" he then brought the blade down hard on the dragoon's chest, Cleaving into the vital organs the Grimm needed. The being held the blade there, watching the Griimm spasm and convulse till it laid still, the blade had stooped in its heart and kept it from regenerating. He then pulled the blade free and it vanished as it cackled one last time and walked off the Dragoon.

He began to walk back towards the group and froze, tiling his head and slumped its shoulder "Oh fine!" it huffed and looked to the group "Till next time Squires and Peasants!" The group looked confused and afraid to go near it. Just then the Barrier went down and armed hunters rushed in, surrounding the armor and Glynda stepped forward "Tai?" As she said that name the Armor bolted up right and gripped the top of its chest plate, tearing it off with a hard metallic ripping noise. soon enough Most of Tai was visible and he panted "Glynda...you know what to...do..with the rest.." he groaned and toppled forward.

The last thing he remember was the rest of the armor being removed and being held in someones arms before the darkness of unconsciousness took him...
