Alright everyone, it's time for another chapter of Verdant Gamer.

Now I will apologize before hand about this, but I'm rushing the writing of this chapter a little because I'm writing this on Sunday, and I want to take care of the main part of this chapter before I go watch episode five and learn about Menagerie (Fucking finally too)

Anyway let's roll.

[Wes's P.O.V.]

Glynda' class, the perfect time for me to test out Shiva and Ifrit, who I actually had out with me under an illusion so only me and Team RWBY could see them.

"This is just sad to watch." Ifrit said.

"Four human's are getting their ass handed to them be single human." Shiva said.

Yep, it was team CRDL vs Pyrrha right now, which means I need to time my intrusion Mercury today. Heck I was wearing no costume today, thus my green trench coat and Genji armor was on full display for the fight.

"Go Pyrrha!" Tamamo cheered.

"And down they go." Yang added.

"And that's the match." Glynda announced.

"Lucky shot." Cardin groaned falling over.

"Well done miss Nikos, you should have no problem qualifying for the tournament." Glynda said.

"Thank you professor." Pyrrha said.

"Alright now I know that's a tough act to follow, but we have time for one more sparring match, any volunteers?" Glynda asked looking around.

"Miss Belladonna." Glynda called causing the slumping Blake to suddenly straighten out, "You've been awfully docile for the past few classes why don't you-" Glynda said.

"I'll volunteer." Mercury said raising his hand standing up.

"Very well mister... Black, let's find you an opponent." Glynda said checking her scroll.

I stood up before Mercury could open his mouth, "I'll volunteer." I said.

"Mister Verdant?" Glynda asked, "You've been fighting a lot lately... Are you sure you want to keep going like this?"

"I'm sure Professor Goodwitch, plus I picked up a couple new weapon's yesterday and I want to test them out today." I said.

"Then why didn't you offer to help Miss Nikos?" Glynda asked.

"I knew she could handle Team CRDL, heck a team of monkey's could beat them." I said, "No offense to any Monkey Faunus in the room!" I called out.

"None taken!" I heard Sun shout from across the room.

"I'll give you that one." Glynda admitted, "Very well, you and mister Black meet in the arena with you weapons."

I pulled up Shiva and Ifrit from where I had them planted and walked down to the arena with them in hand, "Remember you two, no talking out loud." I reminded.

"Can we whisper into his ear?" Ifrit asked.

"Not yet." I said.

"Rats." Ifrit grumbled.

Soon enough I stood opposite of Mercury in the arena.

"You've got a lot of weapon's buddy." Mercury said.

"Yeah, I like to keep myself well armed." I said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce Shiva!" I said lifting Shiva, "And Ifrit." I added lifting Ifrit.

"Fire and Ice?" Mercury said, "That's a classic combination."

"What can I say, you can't beat the classics." I said.

"Ready?" Glynda asked, "Begin!"

[Being OST- Mercury/Emerald- Tales of Symphonia, Dawn of a New World: With Courage]

Mercury leaped at me and aimed a kick at me, causing me to smirk, there was a second reason I wanted to try out Shiva and Ifrit in this fight.

Ifrit's intense heat could in itself heat the metal of Mercury's leg, which would not only cause Merc to take burning damage from the heat of a hellfire heated prosthetic leg, but when Shiva hits them they will rapidly cool, resulting in one of to things if Mercury isn't properly protecting his legs.

Either the metals will have merged together slightly because of the heat and the rapid cooling will harden the metals locking up his legs.

Or they'll break.

'Here's to hoping Mercury has slept through his metal working classes... or hasn't taken any.' I thought swinging Ifrit at Mercury knocking him aside.

Mercury bounced off of the blade and leaped backwards to avoid another swing from the sword.

Mercury landed in front of me and began throwing kicks at me, firing the guns in his legs, the bullet's I slashed through with Shiva, freezing the bullet's by the time they've been cut in half, their frozen.

"Shit this swords colder than I thought." I said, feigning distraction, "Maybe I should be wearing gloves?"

I worked, Mercury ran up and tried to kick me in the head, yet I knew this was going to happen and slashed the leg the tried to roundhouse me with Ifrit, and I could faintly see the leg turn red.

'It's working.' I thought with an evil grin.

Continuing my retaliation I slashed both of Mercury's legs with Ifrit's leg in an 'attempt' to sweep him off his feet.

Well I did knock him onto his back, "Ah... Shit that's hot." Mercury said flipping back up, and now he had a hard time standing still from the heat.

[Ruby's asking why Merc's acting the way he is, Weiss is starting to think Mercury has a Prosthetic.] Tamamo told me.

'Perfect.' I thought with a grin.

I flipped Shiva into a reverse position and stabbed her into the ground, freezing the whole floor of the arena, and Mercury's legs by extension.

"Oh shit." Mercury said as his foot actually froze in the ice.

"Didn't expect that." I muttered, "Oh well, that's a bonus!" I shouted skating over before leaping up and drop kicking him across the floor.

What I didn't expect was that Mercury's pants had been caught in the ice as well and were torn off, revealing his prosthetic.

"You did that on purpose didn't you Shiva." I whispered.

My only response was a giggle from the freezing sword.

"Well shit." Mercury said getting up, only to slip and fall, "What the hell?" He then asked.

"Something wrong?" I asked feigning confusion.

"My ankles, your weapons have melded them into a fixed position." Mercury said.

"Seriously?" I asked in 'shock', "Well let me end this as least painfully as I can." and with that I ran up and kicked him out of the arena and onto non frozen ground.

"And that is the match!" Glynda called.

[End OST]

I walked over to the Mercury and offered him a hand, "Need some help?" I asked.

"Yeah, thank's." Mercury growled.

"Mister Black, while you did nothing to fault yourself, I must remind you that superheated metal can result in your weapons getting damaged, in your case your legs.' Glynda said, "And Mister Verdant while I applaud your idea to disable an opponent's weapon I must ask that you refrain from intentionally damaging an opponent's weapon is such a manner during the Vytal Festival."

"Yes ma'am." I said, not that I'd actually do that, my plan today was let the school know Merc's got robo-legs so all in all my plan was successful.

"Class dismissed." Glynda said, "Mister Black do you have any spare legs?"

"Yeah, I've got spares." Mercury said slowly walking away.

Ankles go a long way in walking apparently.

Alright people, just like you wanted, story progression.

plus plan smashing ;)

Anyway I'll see you all next week, Blake's dilemma is something I want to tackle when I have confirmed if those two from the opening are her parents.
