Review replay
To that one guy who asked me if Red would trow a fit due to the holy materials used for her new body: The asnwer is no.
She hates things related to the Christians Church and the material was not blessed from one.
Also reworked this ability due to a hole in my writing, during Cinder fight Zedrick used his portals to dodge out of harms way, but the portals are too small for that, so I wanted to fix it.

Chapter 9:
You know I always though that my life was somewhat normal, of course, reincarnation and Gamer aside.
But when you find yourself in a situation like this you start questioning if your life is nothing but a big cliche.
You may be wondering of what I am talking about, well let me enlighten you.
You all know cliche right?
Guy dies and reincarnates? Cliche.
Guy falls/trips and his hands goes to the boobs of his female companion? Cliche.
Guy sees one of his friends die or get hurt and get's a power up? Cliche.
And then there is this Cliche:
I had, strangely, woke up with a feeling of discomfort, as if something was not quite right. Something was amiss here and for the life of me I could not understand what it was.
So obviously I sat up from my sleeping bag, rubbing the grime out of my eyes while stifling a yawn.
I could tell that I had woken up even early then my usual, a fact confirmed by my grey surroundings that signals the use of my night vision.
Then my breathe caught in my throat. There was something on the right side of my bed, under my cover.
Summoning Pride in my hand, and ignoring the sleepy protest of the soul inside my weapon, I slowly started to lift the blanket covering whatever was under it.
Taking a peek I could only stare blankly at the sight in front of me.
The sleeping face of Ruby.
I blinked, once, twice, and I had to resist the urge of planting my hand on my face with such strength that it would cause a sonic-boom.
This was a dire situation, if Yang saw us like this she would likely kill me or tease me and Ruby for the rest of our life.
Looking around I could see that I was the only one awake.
Now I just had to figure out on how to defuse the situation.
De-summoning Pride I start thinking.
Using my Semblance was out of the window, because when I use it I would always feel like I'm falling, so I couldn't use it on Ruby and teleport her in her sleeping bag.
Luckly for me none of our limbs where touching so I could , hopefully, move without waking her up.
First thing first I removed completely the covers from my bed.
Ruby sleeping form trembled for a second due to the lack of warmth...which cause her to outstretch her arm in a vain attempt to reclaim the sheets...and instead snake around my leg...
'FUCK'
I now had Ruby resting her head on the side of my thigh, with both of her arms hugging my leg like a pillow.
I have the urge to scream bloody murder at the Gods , Oum included, but I keep it only in my head for the sake of not waking up everyone else and sequentially get killed by a group of sleep deprived teenagers.
Taking a deep breath I asset the situation once more, I am in my bed, with Ruby holding one of my legs, I can not use my Semblance to get away and I can't go back to sleep or when morning comes I'll have to explain to Yang as to why Ruby was sleeping on my bed with me.
'Kill me now'
Minute pass as I come up with plans after plans that get easily discarded for the principle of 'It won't work'.
Then a lightbulb lights in my head.
Taking a breath I thought 'I.D Create',my surrounding change into the silent word that is my I.D.
But everything comes to an end, even the silence of this dungeon.
"FUCK IT ALLLLL!"
A good few minutes of cursing and now I was calm, I was one with the universe, I had reached my personal Nirvana and now I knew peace.
Until I triped and planted face first in the ground that is.
"Raaaggggghhh!"
After a much needed time of punching a near by wall I had finally calmed down, for real this time.
Going to the side of my sleeping bag I exit my I.D and found myself staring down at the still sleeping Ruby.
Looking around I made sure that no one else was awake, before quietly going towards Ruby sleeping bag.
Crouching down I took it and fold it so I could carry it in my arms.
Returning to Ruby side I put the blanket back on her before, very slowly, start to drag the bed taking Ruby for a ride.
After painful minutes, of cringing for every sound I made as well as every time Ruby shifted, I finally manage to bring her and the bag on the original place of her sleep.
Blowing out a quite breath I walk back to the place I had put my bed in, before unfolding the one of Ruby, setting it down and finally lay down to get back to sleep.
Taking deep breaths I let my mind relax.
Lulled to sleep by the scent of strawberry-?!
Blinking rapidly I took another sniff at the covers.
'Yep strawberry...Hope it doesn't stick on me'.
As I was saying- I finaly succumbed to sleep.
And up above the sky the broken moon shines.
"Rise and shine Zed!"
Shooting out of my sheets like a missile, Pride in hand, I look around frantically for the fool that had dared to woke me up.
Said fool in question stood behind me snickering, her golden mane shining in the morning light like a beacon that demanded that you pay attention to it.
Sending Yang a glare and a hiss that promised pain I grumble to myself before returning in the comfortable warm embrace of my sleeping bag.
"Ah! that was Hiss-terical!"
Groaning I turn to look at Yang before saying "That was horrible and you should feel ashamed of your ssssself".
Snickering Yang just stood there, looking at me, illiac eyes staring into silver ones.
My eyes hardening before saying what I feared "You aren't going to let me rest for five more minutes are you?"
Her grin returning, she responded with a simple "Nope~".
Narrowing my eyes I sent her a glare that ,unsurprisingly, did nothing to remove the stupid smile that rested on her stupid face.
"Oh don't look at me like that Zed! You are so scale-y when you do that!"
She cried out in mock freight before bursting in snickers.
This time I didn't groan, I only intensified my glare before smirking myslef.
"You know Yang? You should consider becoming a comedian. After all, with all the food they would trow at you after your puns, you could easily never have to bother buying groceries again".
That did the trick as she stoped to glare at me, a glare which I happily returned.
After several moments of glaring at each other we both burst out laughing, or in my case, snickering.
Yang made a gesture of wiping a tear from her eye before looking at me with a smile "Good one! But it's time to get up!"
"Do I have to?" I definitely did not whine.
"Yup! Ruby has already changed and is waiting us in the cafeteria of this place".
Grimacing I stood up from my bed with great reluctance.
"Fine" I bit out.
"Oh cool off! I'll be waiting with Ruby so don't waste to much time" With a shake of her head she went to the corridor on the left side of the hall, before turning a corner and going out of view.
Turning back to my sleeping bag I take out my everyday clothes: A black T-shirt with neon-green highlights, black jeans and , you guess it, black shoes with neon-green lace.
After putting all of this on I went towards the locker rooms which was on the right side of the room.
Mine was the number 666, it must be the work of the devil! Or an enemy stand.
Coming to said locker I open it up before retrieving the contents.
My combat clothes, or as I like to call them, my Hunter Garb.
Unlike Ruby and Yang I didn't wear them as often, only when I knew I was going to train or have a sparr with either Yang or Ruby, on a total unrelated sidenote, did you know that a bruise from a super powered teenager last weeks if she's angry enough?
Back at my Hunter Garb.
It consists of a form fitting black sleeveless shirt.
I also wore a black sleevless jacket with neon-green insides, that reached half way my abdomen and had a hood.
On the place of my heart rested my emblem: A neon-green snake coiling around a silver dagger, the design of said dagger is the same as Pride.
My arm are wraped in deep gray bandages with my hand being covered in very form fitting black gauntlets that had a neon-green color on the underside of my hand.
As for pants I had black leather ones with neon-green borders.
On my feet black combat boots rested.
To crank up the level of edginess I wore a face mask that coverd my lower face as well as my neck.
Looking in a near by mirror I looked at myself over.
'Embrace the edginess'.
Shaking my head I exit the locker room and walk towards the cafeteria.
After arriving I took a look at what they offer.
Deciding to go with a light breakfast I take a single apple with a bit of orange juice.
Looking around I spot the two trouble maker sisters.
After coming a bit closer Ruby pearks up from her trail which contained, you guess it, a fuck ton of cookies and waves me over.
Sitting on the bench opposed to Ruby at Yang side I brought down my mask before saying "Hey Rub".
"Hey Zed!".
Smiling at her cheerful replay I take a bite out of my apple.
"Oh by the way Zed! You won't belive who I meet at the locker room!".
Swallowing I raise an eyebrow before asking "Jaune?".
Ruby blinked once, tilting her head in thought before replaying "Yeah I think he was there too...BUT! I wasn't talking about him! In the locker room I meet THE Pryha Niko! The one who won Mistral Regional Competition four years in a row!".
'I guess the locker room scene already happened' I briefly thought.
Acting curious I asked her "So how was it? Was she cool?".
"Well...we didn't really talk much-only introduce ourself- but she seemed very...cool and collect! Even tho...she looked quite lonely".
I blinked at that last part 'She meet her once and already picked up that fact?'
"Cool..." Having said my small piece we fell in a pleasant silence, Yang while we were talking was to caught up in eating her bowl of cereal to really say anything.
Standing on the launching pads on the cliff side that faced the Emerald Forest I couldn't help but feel the deja-vu from returning here.
Ignoring Ozpin and Gylda speech I took a good look at the horizon, where a mass of trees littered the ground like a green ocean.
Ignoring the gasp from the others when Ozpin reveals that your partner will be the one you lock eyes with, I prepare my stance.
Taking out Pride and helding her in a reverse grip I shift Jealousy in it's kusarigama form, I slightly bend my knees while leaning foward.
'Posing is very effective against creatures of darkness such as vampires'
Shaking my head and repressing a snort from such silly thoughts I focus back to the conversation hearing Jaune trying to ask how to make a landing and what not.
A few moments later and we are soaring truh the sky like missiles, uh Jaune did a complete backflip by accident while in the air, cool.
Looking down at the approaching mass of trees I start formulating a plan.
Switching forms of Jealousy I start spinning the chain around.
Spotting a pretty big branch I trow my spinning weapon at it, hearing a thunk when the blade impacts and digs into the bark.
Feeling the tension at my arm holding the chain I give a strong tug and I feel myself being pulled towards the tree.
Spinning around the branch a bunch of time I land on my feet on top of it.
Blowing a quiet sigh for the successful landing I tug at Jealousy and the weapon unravels itself form the branch before landing on my outstretched hand, blade first that is.
[27 Dmg!]
I shake my head and grab the handle feeling my cheeks light up in embarrassment form the quite shameful display.
Walking towards the trunk I shink both of my weapons into the bark before letting myself fall of.
Falling in a some what slow pace I look at the ground closing in.
At two meters of hight I jump down landing feet first.
Taking a look at my surrounding I take stock on what direction the moss is growing before starting a light-run towards said direction.
Navigating truh the forest and the foliage is not a hard task even tho it's getting unnerving, the forest is too silent, it's like I'm inside an I.D and I already know the cause, Grimms.
In zones with large quantities of Grimms animals tend to get the fuck out of there pretty quickly, less they get eaten, yes Grimm attack animals but only when...well not actually bored per se...more when they have nothing else to do, or there aren't any humans nearby.
Snapping at attention I stop dead in my tracks and raise both of my weapons, the foliage around me starts to shake lightly and from it dark forms rise.
Clicking my tongue I briefly thought 'Beowolf pack' before dozens of said creatures start to pouring out in the small space in between the trees, growls coming form their troath in a threatening way.
Narrowing my eyes I wait for them to charge at me, said charge happens very few moments later.
With a mad dash each Grimm runs towards me some quite literally trowing themself at me if close enough.
Weaving truh them I start cutting down the ones that came to close for my comfort, ducking down a paw here, dodging a chomp there I find myself start losing focus at the battle and simply let my body do this in a autopilot like state.
Snapping out of my daze I look around the now corpse littler ground.
Blinking I spot a Beowolf that was just standing there, like a mannequin.
Looking in confusion at the strange Beowolf I slowly start inching closer, guard held high.
At nearly one meter from the stock still grimm I finally see some movement.
Getting ready to make sashimi out of him I start preparing my stanc- only for the Beowolf to split in two halves from head to tail.
Blinking I stare bewildered at the sight.
Under my stare I see a familiar black haired girl pop out form behind the dead Grimm.
Losing up my stance I lower my mask before smirking and saying "Well, well, well, look who the cat dragged in".
To Blake credits she didn't show any reaction on her face, but her brow did definitely twitch so I still win!
A nod come form the cat in question before the replay came.
"Zedrick right?"
"Yep! The one and only! So it looks like we will be partners eh?".
"So it seems"
"Well smutty! Let's get going!"
Pulling up my mask I ignored the sputtering that Blake made when she heard the name I gave her.
After a short travel, passed in silence, we reached the field containing the ruins.
"It's seems we where the first to arrive" I lightly comment.
I received no answer, but that was expected, for her we just meet, so she will need time to warm up to me and who ever shall be our teammates.
With a light jog we reached the structure, where several pedestals stand with a single chess piece resting in each and everyone.
"So do you want to chose?".
With a shake of her head she replays with a brief "No".
Shrugging I take the closest piece, a black king.
Turning towards her I ask "Do you mind if we wait here? I want to see who ,a friend of mine, got parried with".
Tilting her head in thought she answers with a shrug and a nod.
Blowing a quite breath I sat down on the floor of the ruin we where currently waiting at.
It didn't take much time for two very familiar faces to arrive, or rather, fall from the sky.
Releasing an exasperated sigh I rush to where the two half sisters where going to fall, before opening up two portals.
The yellow and red blurs sinked in my semblance like pebbles into a river, closing my portals I wait a few seconds before opening them again.
The two sisters got a mouth full of dirt for their bravery, while I laughed at their miserable faces.
Of course, I regret my decision the moment Yang got up with glowing red eyes.
Shooting out my hands in a gesture of surrender I quickly blurted out "You can get revenge after the initiation Yang, for now tho, please be calm".
My words fell on deaf hears as Yang quickly charged at me, murderer written upon her face for the sin I have deared to commit.
A bunch of portals latter and a some what painful punch on my shoulder, Yang returned to her senses before she grabbed the nearest chess piece, while muttering not so kind words at me.
Of course it was now Ruby time to try and be appeased, but the moment I said I was going to go buy her expensive cookies she quickly forgave me.
After the rest of the gang swinged by, we made our mad rush towards the ruins of an ancient tower like counstruct for cover from the Nevermore deadly plumage.
Quickly vaulting over a larg piece of what I assumed was an old wall I started trying to come up with a solution for our predictamen.
The feathers of the damned bird are too big to fit in my portals, so I can't use the 'No U' strategy.
I don't have anything that could damage it from long range distance, and my knifes would, at most, tickled it.
Looking around the battelfield I can see that the Nevermore was busy trying to nail a running Ruby with it's feathers while Yang and Blake where doing the same thing as me, hiding behind cover.
The other four where having a skirmish with the oversized bug, eh Jaune was actually being a good leader.
With a caw the Nevermore started flying away to circle us, Ruby capitalizing on this quickly rushed towards me with her semblance before sitting beside me.
"Got a plan Rub?!" I asked.
Nodding her head Ruby stated " Yeah, but we need Yang and Blake help, the others are busy fighting the Death Stalker".
Bobbing my head up and down I said "So what's the plan".
"Well..." She leaned over to my ear before starting to whisper her plan at me.
After finishing she asked me "Do you think it will work?".
Closing my eyes in thought I briefly consider it before replaying with a "Yes, give me five minutes and we can say good-bye to bird brain, now please distract it".
Nodding and then smiling Ruby rushed out of cover before starting again her deadly dance with the flying grimm, that had meanwhile finished his circle.
Running towards where Yang and Blake where currently taking cover I used a portal to appear before them.
Of course Yang reacted with her most trusted way of doing things, by punching me in the face when I popped out of my Out:Portal.
[146 Dmg recived!].
"Sorry!" Yang screamed out after realizing what had just happened.
Rubbing my now sore nose I replayed with "It's fine, let's call it even for before".
Nodding her head she quickly listen to the plan her sister had come up with, after asking if they where willingly to follow it both Yang and Blake said "Yes".
Five minutes later, all eight of us where making our way back to the cliff from where we came from, some of us limping while other rubbing at their sore spots.
Jaune and his team and dealt with the Death Stalker the same way as cannon, which was so fucking cool to look at in real life.
In Ruby case she was getting a piggyback ride on me because she couldn't move.
What happened you ask? And how did we deal with the bird? Well...
For the majority of the fight, it followed the cannon way that they had used to kill it, but with some changes, for the better or for the worst it's up to debate.
Yang still made it eat lead, making it crash against the rocky side of the cliff.
To pin it's tail I had to use my semblance to quickly place some fire dust ,that I had inside my inventory ,on some rock protrusion of the cliff before detonating it.
That caused the rubble to fall down on the tail of the bird effectively making the Nevermore unable to fly away.
Then I had to use my semblance again to appear near Ruby who was ready to be catapulted into the air, thanks to Blake weapon being used as a glorified rubber band.
Once there she was launched into the sky, only to be swallowed whole by another of my portals.
Quickly opening two other portals facing each other downwards I watched as she became progressively faster while passing between the two until becoming a red blur.
Then I open another portal towards the struggling grimm and she immideatly shoot out like missile.
Her scythe meet the thick neck of the bird, slicing right truh it like a hot knife on butter...well I miscalculated...so her, along her weapon, crashed against the cliff side with a loud 'Thud'...at least her aura didn't break?
Needless to say she was mad...that and she had to puke due to how fast she went...At least not on me.
So with a mad Ruby on my back that was trying to chew with her teeth my shoulder, thank god my aura was still up, we along the others made our way towards that bastard of Ozpin, who was still sipping at the same mug of before.
Without turning from his scroll he addressed us "Congratulations on passing the initiation, please return to the ballroom, you have earned your rest".
Cursing him under my breath I made my way towards beacon.
Until a sharp pain came from my shoulder, that is.
"GAH!"
Tilting my head to look at Ruby I stare in a mix of horror and fascination at the sinking teeth on my shoulder.
"D-Did you just chew your way truh my aura?!".
The only answer I got was her biting down harder.
Slightly grimacing at the pain I accelerate my steps towards the academy, not wanting to see what Ruby would do to my poor shoulder if left unchecked for too much time.
Letting myself drop back on my sleeping bag I blew a quite sigh.
'First step for plan Fuck Cannon as been completed, now we wait'.
This day has been rather mentaly tiring to say the least and I was getting ready to go to the dreamlands.
Closing my eyes I decided that I'll go to sleep, turning towards Ruby who was giving me her back while laying on her sleeping bag beside me I ask "So...for how long will you ignore me?".
The only answer I got was a indignated "Hmnp!".
Releasing a tierd sigh I ask in exasperation "Rubbbbbyyyy, pwease forgew me".
Nothing.
Narrowing my eyes at her lack of reaction I say "Fine, you win, what do you want?".
Finally turning towards me , her two silver orbs basically trying to set me on fire, she ask "Anything?".
Nodding my head I answered "Yes, anything".
There was a moment of silence from her, and I swear I saw the cogs in her head turning in thought, before her face split in a huge smile "Let me sleep with you~".
Choking on my spit I let my mouth hang agape "W-Wha!?".
"You heard me!".
"Yeah I did! But Rub do you want Yang to kill me?!".
"Who,Yang? Pssh nah, she would never do that to you, so now, raise your cover please~!".
Complying I suddenly find myself, cuddling with Ruby in a shower of rose petals.
"Ah~ Just like when we where little at that sleepover~"
Flash back no jutsu!
I was currently cuddling with Ruby in her bed, we where having a sleepover at her house celebrating her eight birthday.Slowly stroking her head and humming a tune I looked down at the little bundle of happiness."Rub" I whisper quietly."Mmm?" She mumbles out from my chest."Happy birthday".Looking up at me she smiles softly before doing something unexpected, raising slightly her head she gives me a light kiss on my lips before going back at resting her head on my chest.Needless to say, the morning after I had to deal with two mad blonds.
"I hope not, I would rather not having to deal with your angry Father".
Snickering she mumbles something that I didn't quite catch.
"What did you say Rub?".
Lowering my head towards her to listen better I was unprepared for what she was going to do next.
Like a snake ready to strike (Ah!) she shoots out her head and before I could say anything she locks lips with me.
A minute later she finally releases me from her deadly attack, a satisfied smile on her face.
Blinking owlishly at her I watch as she snickers at my expression.
Ruby blowed a quite sigh before facing me again with a serious expression
"Zed" taking a deep breath she continued "Would you like to be my boyfriend?!"
At the start she sounded confident but at the end came out something akin to a squeak.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
Now as I promised the sneak-peak!
REMENATS OF MAGIC
"We stood upon rocky fields,A thousand of the most powerful mages and warrior that this era had ever seen.
One goal in mind, one single hope in our heart, under one single banner, under one single call.
Before us stood the two tyrant Gods, their massive draconian form leering down at us like we where nothing, but ants before them.
I along my husband and love stood at the head of our army, feeling the weight of their gazes,"It's seems you pathetic creatures have decided on standing against us"The dark God growled out."We gave you everything and yet, this is our repayment?"The light God added.
As one we roared out our rage towards them, as one we spoke the truth that we belived in."We do not need you! We do not want to worship you two tyrants anymore! Leave now or perish!"The only answer we got was the laughter of dark God."You amuse me to no end pathetic creatures, as such, I'll give you a single chance! Hit me with everything you got, and if you manage to kill me, then my brother and I will never bother you again!"The challenge trown, we stood ready, hearts beating like drums, our blood coursing truh our veins like liquid fire, the scent of mana thickening in the air, a clear sign of the battle that was to come.With a roar of my own I screamed out "Fire!".The sky was painted with a thousand colours, spells of various size, strength and colour exploding out from our rank and quickly soaring truh the air towards the accursed God.
And yet...it was all for naught.The spells simply bunched off like rain against hard stone.A chuckle escaped the maw of the dark God before he spoke "Pathetic, let me show you, destruction".One of his massive paws raised it self high into the sky, and a ball of pure darkness began to form.Many of us, in that moment, went on their knees in despair, many of us had tears of bitterness and rage streaming down our faces and many of us simply looked with rage at the impending doom.We awaited for what was to come, the ball of darkness ready to unleash untold destruction upon us.I admit, there and then, I had lost hope, there was nothing we could do, we had failed and now the whole humanity will be punished for our failures.
.
.
And yet...that was not to be.The rumbling black clouds up aboved roared out in rage against the Gods.Heaven itself screamed out, and from high above the clouds, the mother of all lightings descended against the unexpecting dark God.The lighting rammed against the head of the God, with savage strenght it forced the God down, it's snot smashing against the hard rock of the fields.Pure silence descended on the battelfield, even the Gods did not speak.High above, a single figure stood, electricity coursing all over his form.When we realized who it was we humans all cheard.The Storm had arrived"
