Chapter 3: Cardinal Sins
Hey everybody, back in action with an interesting story that caught my interest. Cardinal Sins, written by Bardothren on the net. A story with a smarter, more manipulative Cardin that knows how to get things done. Not going to lie, I like stories where it gives a more background to side characters like Cardin. Gives them a reason why their there.
Plus I noticed the lack of side characters in reaction fics. Even when they're shown, most of the time they just end up being not important. Which sucks to me. So let's correct that here and now.
I should note though that since the story is somewhat new, the chapters are a bit short, so this will be as well. Enough talking though, let's see how are cast will be reacting. Enjoy.
The cast of RWBY were now waiting for the next universe. Having hopes that this universe won't hold the same violence like the last one. All lot of them felt disturbed seeing the headmaster of Beacon getting his butt whooped just like that.
Not Cinder of course. A part of her is expecting this world to be just like the last one. Where her enemies are battered and injured with grands amount of pain.
"Oh, so it's this universe." The Keeper Mayden said with some hints of surprise.
"This universe? What do you mean?" Winter asked the Keeper.
"Let's just say this a a currently born universe. So I can only show you a few things since it's barely starting out." The Keeper explained to the audience.
"Is that a good thing or a bad?" Ren wondered if this presented a problem. The Keeper of course told him it wasn't.
"Nope. Although some of you actually might not like it. Moving on." Not like it? Now they were worried. What kind of universe made it that the Keeper would state some of them wouldn't like it.
Jaune thought of him being outed as a fake and kicked out of Beacon.
Ruby feared it was a world where the shadow enemy called Salem defeated them all and ruled Remnant. Plunging it in chaos. Ozpin thinking the same thing.
Everybody now not liking the prospect of what this dimension might bring them. Of course they didn't have much of a choice since the screen lit up. As such they would just have to deal with whatever they saw.
And what they saw was the most unlikely person they would see.
"Cardin!"
The evening hours trickled by like pine sap, slow and sour, as Cardin grappled with page after page of Oobleck's assigned reading on the Color Wars. Staring at line after line left his eyelids drooping and his legs twitching. With a yawn, he tossed his scroll onto his nightstand, leaned forward on his bed, and stretched. "All this reading's killing me. You guys up for some real combat training?"
"No way." Jaune said with his mouth wide open. Many of the other students looking rather displeased the school bully was being shown. The only ones not really reacting toward him were Cinder's faction since they really had no idea who he was. Seeing the 'good' side react like this though made them think they must not like him.
"What's Cardin doing here?" Yang said a bit outraged.
"That's right." Weiss jumping in. "How is a brute like him even in this?"
Ozpin and Glynda didn't show it, but even they wondered why the problem child of Beacon was being shown. They both knew of Mr. Winchester's habits. The Keeper of course didn't share their sentiments.
"Hey, don't go hating. I did say you may not like it." Mayden said. "Besides, if your not liking this already, then you'll definitely not like the later scenes at all."
This made them ponder the future. Of course since they had no clue what was about to happen, the cast could only stay silent once more and continue on.
Russell perked up, while Sky retreated further into his scroll. Dove grunted sourly and set down his pen. "Are we going off campus for this one?"
"Not this time," Cardin said. "I want Oz to see this."
"What do you have anything to do about this, if I may ask sir?" Glynda asked the young boy that held the soul of Ozpin. It still startled her that her boss was now in the body of such a, well, adorable child. Not that she'd ever say that of course.
"He says he has no clue." The true Oscar said in place of Ozpin. Who at the time is also wondering what the most troublesome team CRDL is planning.
After a quick stop at their equipment lockers, Cardin picked out a training room on the academy's lower levels. The circular room had padded walls and floors, two stone pillars, and a Dust-powered light set into the ceiling. The door latched shut behind them and fit seamlessly into the wall. Cardin strode to the center of the room and hefted his mace. Sky went behind one pillar, while Dove and Russell took positions on either side of him.
"Can we use bullets?" Dove asked.
"Sure," Cardin said, "But no Dust, no Semblances and don't hit the light. Whenever you're ready."
Everybody watched to see the fight. Not having seen the team actually do much in the combat ring at school.
Actually, aside from Jaune v.s. Cardin and then team CRDL v.s. Pyrrha, they've never seen them fight ever again after that. Strange.
Dove lowered his sword and fired two shots. Cardin raised his arm and blocked them with his gauntlet. Russell raced forward, daggers twirling in his hands. Using the haft of his mace, Cardin swept him aside and rushed towards Dove. The swordsman darted left while firing another shot, and Sky jabbed his halberd from behind the pillar. Cardin grabbed it in his left hand, hauled him forward, and elbowed him in the face.
"Are you guys even trying?" Cardin waved his mace. "I haven't even used the chain yet."
"Chain?" Jaune quietly said confused. Never having heard of this before.
Russell and Dove charged in. Cardin ducked under the sword swipe and caught one dagger with his left arm, but the other bit into his Aura at his chest. He brought his knee up and caught Russell in the side, whirled, and kicked at Dove, who parried with his free arm.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Sky hunched behind a pillar, aiming down the barrel of his trident. Feigning a swipe at Russell, Cardin pressed a button on the hilt of his mace. With a pop and a long, rasping hiss, the mace's ball flew in a wide arc at the end of a chain.
"Woah!" Ruby yelped having never seen that before. Some of the others also surprised by this. Did their Cardin have the chain mace like this counterpart?
The chain caught on the pillar, but the spiked ball kept going. It caught Sky in the shoulder as he pulled the trigger. The shot buried itself in a wall.
The chain hissed as it retracted, and the ball, tugged around the pillar, shot in a wild arc towards Cardin's hand. As Russell closed in, the ball knocked a dagger out of his hand. He stumbled back and hissed in pain. Dove charged, forcing the point of his sword past Cardin's guard. The sword wedged into Cardin's armor and gouged at his Aura. Cardin twisted, swept a leg out, and kicked at the back of Dove's knee. He stayed upright, but his arms flailed and the sword retreated.
Sky fired another shot, this one slamming into Cardin's back. He felt a stinging tingle as his Aura dropped. Cardin rushed at him, and Sky yelped as the mace swung towards his head.
Russell sprang off a pillar, spun through the air, and kicked at Cardin's arm. Cardin spun with the motion, let the chain loose, and whirled his mace around the pillar. Sky leapt out of the way, but the ball spun full circle and caught Russell on the side of the head. He sprawled out on the floor, groaning and rubbing at his temple.
"Hmmm, not bad." Cinder muttered seeing some skill in these men's movement. Ironwood also looking a bit impressed.
"I can see how they made it into the Festival." Qrow mentioned as he did see them in the tournament. Team RWBY and JNR also a bit impressed at these stunts. Not as good as theirs perhaps along with a few others, but sourly they admitted these boys had decent ability.
"Strange, I wonder why we never saw this before?" Ren asked himself with the others wondering the same thing.
"Yeah, I mean, we've seen them fight." Yang offhandedly mentioned. Nora though made a counter statement.
"Yeah, but now that I think about it. I've only seen Cardin battle our fearless leader and nobody else. Which includes his team against Pyrrha."
Glynda felt a bit of heat rising to her cheeks. Now that her students mentioned this, she never had bothered making team CRDL fight at all. Usually only the two teams here and other students. Yet completely forgot to include them.
'I must rectify myself of this mistake.'
Cardin had the chain retract, but the ball stuck on the pillar. Sky scrambled and grabbed the ball with both arms. "I got it! Get him Dove!"
Slash after slash hammered at Cardin's hilt as he wove his way around the pillar. Once he made it over to Sky, he kicked at a hand and yanked. The ball shot out of Sky's grasp and slammed home in the hilt. He brought his weapon around, knocked the sword aside, and pushed Dove back with one hand. The mace swung low, sweeping Dove's legs out from under him.
Sky lunged, scoring a hit in Cardin's shoulder. Cardin reached for the halberd, but Sky swung it aside and caught Cardin in the side of the face with the haft. Ducking with the blow, Cardin pivoted and swung the mace at Sky's knees. Sky leapt back and braced himself against a pillar. With a yell, he sprang forward, halberd aimed at Cardin's neck. Cardin knelt, and the points of the halberd grazed his hair. He rose and swung the mace in an uppercut that caught Sky in the gut. Sky toppled to the floor, groaned, and rolled away.
Cardin turned and put his back against the pillar. Russell, having recovered his dagger, crept forward with both weapons held in a cross-guard. Dove circled around as he reloaded his sword, and Sky propped himself up with his halberd.
"Ready to take this seriously?" Cardin asked. Russell grinned and twirled his daggers. Dove flinched, and a few bullets fell from his fingers. Sky grimaced and hurried behind Russell.
With a flick, Cardin unwound the chain and sent the ball flying towards Dove.
Jaune gulped, thinking if Cardin did have that chain installed back home, he was glad he never faced it.
He sidestepped and tripped on a fallen bullet. Cardin whipped his wrist, and the ball plummeted into Dove's bronze breastplate./ppRussell sprinted forward. Cardin wove his hand in a circle, and the chain looped itself around both of Russell's hands. Sky rushed in, relying on the tangled chain to get close, but Cardin whipped Russell into the path of Sky's halberd. Sky wrenched his halberd aside, shied away, and fell to the side.
Russell dropped both daggers, pressed his hands together, and wriggled free. He rolled, grabbed a dagger, and jabbed at Cardin's inner thigh. Cardin shuffled his feet and took the blade on the guard above his knee. The chain retracted, and Cardin swung the mace in a swift uppercut that glanced off Russell's shoulder. As he fell back, Dove caught him and fired a shot from his sword. Cardin knocked it aside with his mace and stepped back.
"What are your Auras at?" Cardin asked.
His three teammates answered somewhere at the halfway point, with Dove around seventy. Cardin took a deep breath and guessed around a third from the tension in his chest.
"We could bring our scrolls along," Dove said. "Doesn't matter so long as we don't check them in battle, right?"
Cardin shook his head. "Just having it on you would make you want to look at them. Plus, if we leave them on the floor, someone might step on them."
"A very good point actually." Ironwood remarked, recalling how students at Atlas who had their scrolls would sometimes do this. Making them distracted and then losing because of it.
Jaune muttered remembering how he did it and lost to Cardin because of it.
"You guys up for some more?"
"Maybe we shouldn't," Sky said, "I think it's getting late.
Cardin remembered the meeting with Blake and swore to himself. "Yeah, you're probably right. Let's call it here and check our scrolls."
"Blake? What do you have to do anything with Cardin?" Yang asked rather suspiciously. The cat faunus narrowing her eyes on what Cardin wanted with her.
Adad didn't show it, but he had the slightest hint of curiosity what this human wanted.
Russell then turned to Cardin asking, "I thought you wanted to keep the chain thing a secret. Don't they have cameras in there?"
"Cameras?" Glynda asked out loud never hearing of this. Ozpin suddenly felt an omen coming at him.
Cardin smiled. "They do. The Headmaster won't let that secret slip to the students – it would deprive them of a valuable lesson. Also, people who think they've figured out your secret won't look for more."
Ozpin made the decision to look into how Mr. Winchester knew any of this. His scroll seemed like a good clue. Of course he would have to first explain this all to Glynda who had some sharp words for him.
The scene went dark and then showed Cardin inside the Beacon gym, doing some simple training on the treadmill. By the side were two other students, Nora and Ren. Nora looking at Cardin with a small frown.
"Hey, think I can hit him from here?" Nora whispered as Cardin got on the farthest treadmill. Her eyes gleamed, and the weights bounced in her arms. "He might break his legs if he trips."
"Ms. Valkyrie!" Nora gulped a bit smiling guilty at being found out. Oddly enough back in school, she did the same thing. Never doing it of course. Ren just sighed.
"You really shouldn't," Ren said. "You would be liable for any damages to both Cardin and the equipment he is using. Also, I think he can hear you."
Cardin had, at first, dismissed Nora's constant threats to break his legs as part of the girl's eccentricities, but after her hammer 'slipped' out of her hands and slammed into his knee during one of Professor Goodwitch's combat studies, he made sure to keep at least two people between them.
"So that's why he was always near another another person whenever nora is in the same room as him." Jaune always wondered why Cardin did that. Now he knew, and so did Glynda having a stern look on her face. Nora giggling nervously at that.
"How could he hear me?" Nora asked. "I'm whispering. Ooh, should we use a secret signal? You could make a sound like a sloth when he gets off the treadmill."
"Sloths don't have a sound."
"You would say that Ren."
"We've been over this Ren! They sound like this." Nora made a half-gurgle, half-growling sound. "Try it."
Ren sighed and imitated the sound. Nora's eyes lit up, and she sprang forward. "The signal! I got it Ren!"
Ren expected this to happen.
Back on screen, Nora ignored her friends attempt to stop her and launched the dumbbell like a javelin and tossed it across the room. It hit the floor just behind Cardin's treadmill and slid into the wall with a solid thunk. Cardin stumbled forward, grabbed at the handles on either side, and hauled himself off the spinning tread. He mashed the power button and stepped around the dumbbell.
"Awww, it failed."
"Aww, Ren, you were supposed to do that when he got off. I missed!"
Ren twisted and stood up on the mat. "Nora, I told you not to do that."
"Then why did you do the sloth call?"
"Because-" Ren held his hand up to his eyes and shook his head. With a grimace, he walked up to Cardin and offered his hand. "I hope you can accept my apology," Ren said to him. "Nora can be a bit enthusiastic sometimes."
"More like everyday." Weiss muttered remembering how Nora did many strange actions just because she got 'enthusiastic' sometimes. Ren silently in agreement.
Cardin hit the playback button on his recorder. Ren and Nora's voices were audible, but their words were lost under the whir and rhythmic thumping of the treadmill.
"You would've been a lot more sorry if I got a good recording," Cardin said with a straight face. He took the hand and shook it. He considered telling Professor Goodwitch anyways, but there was always the risk that Ozpin would remove any evidence he had. "Just make sure it doesn't happen again, and I won't tell anyone about this little accident."
"What does Cardin mean by removing evidence, Oz?" Ironwood asked his ally with a snark in his tone. Ozpin made no answer.
Ren gave a relieved sigh. "I appreciate that. Let's go Nora, and no pancakes for you tomorrow."
"What! Ren! How could you!?" Nora cried in alert with her counterpart acting much the same.
"What!" Nora's eyes widened, and drool trailed down the corner of his mouth. "But Ren, you promised!"
"That was before you threw a dumbbell at another student, even if it was Cardin. Perhaps this will make you consider the consequences of your actions."
Nora gestured wildly at him. "But it's Cardin! If anything, Goodwitch would be grateful we put him in the hospital."
"Actually Ms. Valkyrie, I wouldn't." The headmistress told the still shocked student.
"He may be an ass, but that's no excuse to break his legs." Ren looked at Cardin and nodded. "No offense."
Cardin tapped at his scroll. "I think I can get a better recording now that the treadmill's off."
"Right," Ren said. "As I was saying, Cardin is a valued member of the student body and should not be harmed by anyone. Now, Nora, please apologize."
"But Ren!"
"Apologize, or no pancakes for two weeks."
"Ren really does have a tight leash on her, huh Blake." The cat girl nodded, as Ren seemed to be the only one capable of reeling her in. Cinder actually felt pity for the boy. Nora just growled at her counterparts fate.
Nora groaned and mumbled an apology at Cardin's shoes. He checked the time on his scroll. It was still fifteen minutes to ten, but Nora's presence would make a good excuse for leaving early. "I better get going. Have fun getting the scuff marks off the floor."
The scene went black again, ending with Ren taking Nora away from trying to 'hammer' the problem away. Then returned to show Cardin opening a door. Behind it showed Blake reading a book.
"Look Blake, it's you."
"Yeah Ruby. That's me alright." The cool cat said glad to see herself, but frowned that she was meeting up with Cardin. Adam growled in his seat.
"You're early," she said.
Cardin turned and faced her. Blake's yellow eyes glowed in the moonlight, and her hair cast a waving shadow over her face. "You're even earlier. Next time, come when I tell you. I'm not stupid enough to have us both coming here at the same time."
Blake's eyes narrowed. She stepped back, drew Gambol Shroud, and pointed the barrel at him. "I am not letting you blackmail me. If you want to live, promise me you won't say a word, and you'll delete that picture you took right now."
"Blake!" Weiss herself yelled in shock, the target in question turning her head averting her friend's gaze. The others in the audience also unsure how to deal with this.
Ozpin believing Ms. Belladonna had her reasons, while Winter readied herself to take down the cat faunus just in case.
Adam only snorted. 'So she only threatens because of some blackmail. Pathetic.'
A shiver ran down Cardin's spine and a sudden spike of adrenaline made every muscle stiffen, but he grinned and spread out his arms. "You're not going to kill me.
"Cardin sounds confident. He must have something up his sleeve." Ren deduced, seeing how the boy looked like he had a plan despite his position.
The weapon wavered in Blake's hands. "Why not? You think I'm scared?"
"You should be. My room is right below this one, and all my teammates are in bed studying. If they heard a gunshot from the roof, one of them might check it out."
"I'd be gone before they made it up the stairs."
'I could.' Blake thought a little smugly. Confident in her skills of escaping. The Cardin on screen though seemed to have other plans.
Cardin walked over to the edge of the building. Sweat beaded on his forehead. He knelt over the edge to hide the act of wiping it away. When he stood, he whispered, "They could come up through the window, but even if you got away, there's still the message on my scroll."
"Message?" Ruby didn't like this, and neither did Blake.
Blake bristled, bounded forward, and pressed Gambol Shroud's blade against his throat. The edge forced him to lean back over the edge. "What message?"
"I set an alarm for midnight on my scroll, which I had left in my room. It has a message with a password to unlock a file on my scroll." He held his fingers up behind his head and wiggled them. "I think you know what's in that file."
"Errr, that jerk. What does he have on Blake?" Yang angrily said. On the other side, Adam could take a good guess. Most likely involved Blake and her faunus features.
"I'll just sneak in there and take it. You think I can't?"
"You probably could, given the scores on your Hunter's exam," Cardin said. Blake's eyes widened, but he gave her no time to process that tidbit. "Supposing that you could kill me right here before I made a sound, and assuming that you managed to sneak into my room with my team present and steal my scroll before midnight, you still have three problems."
Cinder leaned in, interested in what this student had that made Blake so shaky.
"Keep talking," Blake growled.
"First, there are cameras everywhere in this school. There's even one in the stairway right above that door." He glanced around the building. A few trees reached up near the windows, but none cleared the roof. "Unless you flew up here, Ozpin has evidence that you were the only other person with me."
Blake withdrew her weapon, split it apart, and twirled it by its ribbon. "I have my way of flying," she said.
"Which brings you to your second problem. That's a very distinctive weapon, and the school has detailed records of it, down to the slash pattern and bullet caliber. No other weapon on campus uses the same rounds, owing to the fact that yours was made in Mistral." He paused for a moment. "Well, except Ren, but he has an alibi."
Glynda sat in impression. Never before has she seen the Winchester display this much cunning. Then again, she hardly ever called on him or talked to him. Another mistake she had to fix.
Blake just hissed, not liking how Cardin was putting her in a corner. Adam had the same mindset, but if only because he wanted to do it. Not some filthy human.
"And the third problem? It'd make you no better than the White Fang you left behind."
Those who didn't know about Blake's secret, all blurted out their shock. None more so than Blake, never thinking Cardin of all people could figure it out.
"She's with the White Fang!" Ironwood yelled standing up in anger. His specialist Winter doing the same thing, ready to put Blake down for her crimes.
Ruby got up and waved her hands. "W-wait. Didn't you here? She's not a part of them anymore."
"Exactly. So you can step down." The team members of the former White Fang stood in the two way. Weiss glancing back and forth on how to deal with the people she respected.
Adam himself also looking like he would intervene.
"Hold it people." Mayden said getting them all tos top. "As I said before, there will be no fighting in here."
"But-"
"But nothing." Mayden said cutting off Ironwood. Then using his powers to place him and Winter down on their seat stopping them. "You can deal with Blake later. Or better yet, ask Ozpin since he knew."
"He knew!"
"Yep. As for the rest of you, continue on." While Ironwood started interrogating his old friend, the rest went back to watching. A bit upset at Cardin for putting Blake like that, but also curiose how he knew.
Blake blanched, and Gambol Shroud slipped from her grasp. "How the hell do you know that?"
Cardin shrugged with an air of nonchalance betrayed by a squeamish grin. "I do now."
"He was guessing!?" Yang cried in outrage. Mercury and Emerald though could appreciate how Cardin got the former Fang member to confess.
Blake worked silently as she bent to pick up her weapon. She sheathed it and pressed herself against the door. "You just guessed?"
"To be fair, I had plenty of clues to work with. Atlas keeps thorough records on all its Faunus and greatly restricts travel to foreign nations. Also, despite your supposed Altesian nationality, you possess a unique and expensive weapon of Mistraltan design, where the White Fang has a strong underground presence. One might guess that, after intercepting a load of dust destined to Vale, you decided to leave the White Fang and use the fake passport they gave you to sign up for a Hunter's exam, enroll at Beacon, and start a new life. Did I get that right?"
He did. All of it. Blake's ears fell as she couldn't believe Cardin figured it all out. Things were fine now since her friends knew, but this version of her most assuredly hasn't told her friends. Now she would have no choice but to watch as Cardin demanded of her something horrible. The rest of her teammates also gritting their teeth.
Blake sagged to the ground. She hugged at her chest, and her bow flattened itself forward. "Fine. You win. I'll do whatever you want, just don't tell anyone my secret."
'How pathetic of her.' Adam though disgusted by his former love. 'To think she would fall this far. If it were me, I'd kill the human now. In fact, I might just visit this 'Cardin' to do the exact thing.'
Cardin let out the breath he had been holding and approached her. His shadow swallowed her up.
Ruby started biting her nails, worried. Yang was just full of rage, wanting to beat up Cardin for the position her friend was in.
"Now that we've got that out of the way, it's time that you start doing as I say."
Glynda also showed signs of anger, not liking where this may be going. Glancing at how tense the other students were.
Blake closed her eyes and nodded.
"Good. Take out your scroll."
"That asshole!" Ruby didn't bother reprimanding her sister's language. She might be innocent, but not naive of what Cardin was about to do. Weiss expressing revulsion, even Winter and Qrow couldn't help but look on in disgust.
Blake held up the scroll. "Now what?"
"I think we'll start with the reading Oobleck assigned for tomorrow morning."
"What!" Nearly everybody in the audience blurted out. Even those on the 'bad' side didn't expect this.
"Wait, what? You just want me to read?" The Blake on screen said also astonished by this twist.
Cardin leaned down and stared into her eyes. "Were you expecting something worse, like posing for nude photos?"
Everybody in the audience couldn't help but feel a bit of shame. Apparently they thought to low of the boy.
Blake reddened and looked away. Her feline ears twitched and nearly worked loose of the ribbon. "I – you wouldn't –"
With a chuckle, Cardin drew away. "Relax, I'm not going to ask you to do anything like that."
"I guess that's a good thing." Weiss said glad her friend wouldn't be posing for such disgraceful and perverted pictures. Blake also glad, and feeling a bit of gratitude that this Cardin wouldn't subject her alternative to such a thing.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Who would want to see a dirty Faunus naked?"
Never mind. Once she got her hand on him, she will strangle him. Nearly everybody else also thinking the same thing. Some imagining his punishment a bit more tortuous than others.
Shock turned into rage in the blink of an eye. Her bow quivered, and she bounded up on her feet. With a hand on his collar, she hissed in his face, "You're such a pig."
"You're the only animal up here. Now start reading. Quietly, so my teammates don't hear."
That's it, Adam was certainly going to kill this human. Painfully and slowly. He didn't like how this pathetic sack of flesh was forcing Blake to do this.
The Keeper of course looked at the bull faunus wondering a bit. Wondering if he should state how Cardin was actually a lot better compared to him.
Cardin may be an ass, but he wasn't the one declaring genocide and wanting Blake to suffer.
Eventually Blake finished her reading and took the scroll back. Telling Blake demands that she would meet him every now and then when he said so. Soon leaving the cat faunus as he climbed back to his room where his teammates awaited.
"Hey, how'd it go?"
Russell asked, seeing his leader getting up from the window. Cardin explained a bit starting with Nora and Ren and how he got them to clean up their mess. Though Cardin soon got a call and frowned, answering a bit off screen.
"Hey, what's he saying?" Jaune asked the Keeper since nobody couldn't hear much what the bully was talking about.
"Sorry, consider this suspense."
The call eventually ended with Cardin dropping his scroll and fell back on his pillow.
"Well?" Sky asked. "What's the word?"
"We're getting Pyrrha to drop out of the Vytal Festival." The screen went dark ending.
"Pyrrha!" Jaune said worryingly. His teammates looking none to pleased. "What are they going to do with her?"
"Well whatever this is, Cardin better watch his back." Nora declared. "Otherwise he'll have to worry about more than just broken legs."
"Count us in to." Yang said also agreeing. No way they would let their friend, even one from another dimension, get kicked out of Vytal somehow. None realizing that they couldn't exactly do this considering this was another dimension.
"Hmm. Interesting." While Cinder couldn't concede whatever these boys were doing-due to her own plans in that world, she liked how this Cardin was able to back Blake in a corner. And was interested in how Cardin would accomplish his goals.
Glynda deciding when they got back to Beacon, she would focus more on Cardin and the other students. Realizing she should start paying more attention to others than just team RWBY and JNR.
"Well, wasn't that fun." Nobody thought so. The Keeper just ignored their stares and reactivated the screen. "Well, whatever the case, moving on."
The screen lit up.
First of all, sorry that this isn't the Pride of Four. However I should state that I'm doing other stories besides that. And I will eventually do it. Right now though I'm still reading it and figuring out what chapter I should use. Don't worry though, you'll see the cast's reaction to the story in 2 or 3 more chapters.
I also got permission with these other stories.
