Portals And Pizzazz Chapter 7: Forceful Friendship, a rwby fanfic

Don't Own Rwby, Only The Oc

'thought'

"Speech"

"Tvs, Radios, and Text via book or newspaper... when those are around..."

(Mid Chapter Authors Notes)

I float on a disk made of darkness and eyes with my legs crossed. "Alright, Blade Blacksmith relies on imagination, so if you are unimaginative, I am going to seriously regret giving you that ability."

"So... blunt." She mutters under her breath.

"First things first on the 'Teal's guide to unlimited power': Figuring out how to even activate your ability~"

"…"

"Do you wish to know what powers sacred gears?"

"What?"

"Desire." I grin. "Sacred Gears are driven with the power of desire. And it also determines the power for it as well."

"The stronger you desire, the stronger your Sacred Gear will respond to you." I continue. "Now, for bringing out your ability... close your eyes and imagine the strongest being you can think of, be it from games, books, tv, or even from real life, now, do you have that image?"

"Yes." She nods.

"Focus on it."

"…"

'fuck! is something supposed to happen?! I just quoted that right from the freaking wiki... it worked for me... but I have a physical object as a sacred gear, maybe she requires something else to unlock her ability... what do I do-'

A bright white light suddenly shines from her chest.

I slump back and rest my head against another portal that is pressed against my bed. 'oh thank god.'

She opens her eyes and looks down at her chest. "Is this feeling my... sacred gear?"

"Dunno, probably." I shrug. "But you should ALWAYS remember that feeling, as it seems to be how you draw your ability out."

"Now, let's do something a little more... difficult." I grin.

"D-difficult? How?" She whispers.

"One: please drop the stutter, and Two: we are going to try and make your 'first' sword!" I exclaim.

"Now, for safety reasons, I am going to decide what you make, considering we are in a closed off room and any swords that create blades of wind or explode would be a bad idea, so I'm just going to say, make a sword that glows... that doesn't seem OVERLY dangerous... well, besides the fact you will be holding a razor-sharp killing machine, but hey, we both have aura, and if you are going to be a huntsman, you have to hold weapons anyway!"

"a-" she takes a deep breath and nods with determination. "Alright."

She takes a deep breath and holds her hand out in front of her and waits.

"…"

And waits.

"…"

And waits a little more.

"Try imagining how it is going to work exactly-"

An elegant silver rapier appears in her hand, the hand guard made of quite a few strands of metal that arc around like a spiderweb, the blade has a small bit of metal running down the center for about five inches, then it stops with a point, the blade seems to have a slight glow to it and creates a dull trail of light as she slightly moves it, much like a glowstick.

"Iron Maiden, turn off the lights."

The lights in the room turn off as I summon a portal to block all light coming from the window.

Weiss' grinning face is illuminated by her sword as it casts a dim light around the room.

"Try making it brighter."

She pauses for a few more seconds and the room seemingly starts growing brighter and brighter.

We eventually have to shield our eyes from the light as it is getting a bit much.

"Alright I think that's enough." I grunt.

The light instantly dims to an acceptable level as the portals behind me disappear, allowing natural daylight to enter the room.

"Turn on the lights."

The lights flicker back on.

I look over to the machine that has some sort of cable tail plugged into the wall.

"Unplug."

It frees itself from the wall and disappears back into my body as my hand touches it.

"T-Teal, was it?" Weiss asks.

I just nod.

"How do I make it go away?"

"Sacred gears are based on desire, you just have to desire for it to go away or something like that."

The sword turns into white motes of light and disappears.

I tap my chin in thought once more.

Weiss stands up and bows to me. "I must thank you, Teal, for this incredible ability... if you need anything, just ask."

"mmn..." I hum. "Nah, im good..."

I yawn and stretch. "Well, I'm off to that one town with the giant robot... maybe I can get lucky and gain some essence from a fight between a leviathan and said giant robot."

I look down at the ground. "Do... I really want to subject myself to this kind of torture?"

"AWE YEAH!" I exclaim as I stand up.

"I'll see you, Weiss, but probably not for at least a year!" I exclaim. "So, hone your power and we will meet... in beacon!"

"H-How did you know I was planning on going to beacon?!" She squeaks.

"I know many things Weiss, how long it takes for a person to freeze to death in icy water, about three, the moon is in fact NOT cheese, it is made of some sort of sandy substance, space is a vacuum that I like to shoot gnats and flies into when they annoy me, regular dust used to power bullheads CANNOT melt steel beams, and how to load an artillery cannon..." I list off. "And all that combined basically states 'I can see the future'."

"W-WHAT?!"

"That homework sheet has most of the questions that are on tests for entering a huntsman academy and I got lucky on a one-in-four guess."

"W-"

"See ya!" I allow myself to fall into a portal.

*Linebrea-

I poke my head out of the portal and stop it from closing.

"Keep this ability a secret from dear old dad, okay? He most likely would try to keep you here to make swords for his empire~ though feel free to tell your sister, And only your sister, considering she will be the one who is most likely to train you, and as long as she realizes that this is to be kept between you two."

"Iron maiden, you can turn the cameras back on."

A camera in the corner of the room reactivates as I pull my head back inside my portal.

Teal bashing his head against a wall for several hours interlude:

*THUMP*

"WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

'why did I subject myself to this torture again?!'

'eh... I'm over it'

'oh wait! I should be doing the- REDO!'

'Captain's logue: day three hundred and twent- ugh... the mood is ruined... never mind...'

"Does there happen to be a random giant grimm that wants to assault the town?" I ask into the depressing void.

"…"

"No?"

"Fuck it... I'll go get a taco."

I hop out of the upside down.

I notice that the town is... very red...

"BWEEEP" "BWEEEP" "BWEEEP"

'…'

I look outside the walls to see a giant robot having a fist fight with a giant mammoth variant of a goliath, quite a few manticores and a couple of sphinx flying around them both like gnats.

"…"

"YEET!"

'my year of waiting is about to be payed off!'

I watch the battle through a small portal with a colossal grin.

The robot uppercuts the giant elephant as it takes a step forwards, crushing a sphinx underfoot, then it lightly waves its cannon through the air, freezing the wings of many manticore and sphinx, causing them to crash into the ground.

Several more flying grimm are shot out of the sky as a couple bullheads fly overhead, launching grimm-seeking missiles that utterly massacre the flying ranks.

After about ten minutes, all the grimm are dead and the robot walks away, ignoring me as I absorb all the grimm essence.

"…"

"Mental note: a goliath is worth forty-five Giant Nevermore, and it is the exact amount needed to make sword birth or blade blacksmith... and I have about two-point-five goliath..."

I place the white ball of fire, blade blacksmith, in my chest with a deadpan.

'M.I.N.E'

I yawn and just shrug as I think about what I should do next.

'meh... ill save the remaining essence for something fun... like maybe giving Ruby Blade Blacksmith or something... that will DEFINANTLY not be a mistake that will destroy the world as said reddish-black-haired girl swings around swords, larger than buildings, that launch colossal kill beams and explode everything they come into contact with.'

"Hrm... how close is canon again?" I whisper. "Goddess-Chan made it so I would be fifteen by the time it starts, so... a year? I am nearing fourteen..."

I sip on a juice-box nonchalantly. "That isn't much time to grind... I need to figure out how to get 'Iron Maiden Act 2' and figure out how to use blade blacksmith... hell, I might as well try to get a balance breaker..."

'maybe about a year and three-fourths is enough for Ruby to get off her fangirl stage.'

'…'

"Or maybe you could stop being such a little pussy bitch and hang out with her instead of running away." Jeff's eyes seem to say as he blankly stares at me.

'meh.'

"Hmm... how did Weiss get this to work so well?" I mutter under my breath as a couple small motes of white light pass between my hands. 'image it?'

'I want to create a nice short sword, and I want the blade to be able to glow, the glow being able to grow brighter or lighter.'

'why the fuck am I rhyming? THIS ISN'T THE RIGHT TIME... ing.'

I open my eyes to see a short sword with a blue glowing blade.

'alright!'

I force it to disappear as I lean back against a tree.

I slowly blink.

'am... I being watched?'

I scan the rest of the mostly empty park from my position near a pond.

"eep-" someone in the distance exclaims as two heads poke back behind a tree.

I blink slowly then shrug, guessing that it is probably Ruby and Yang.

'a glow-stick-sword is kind of lame... so let's expand my arsenal just a little bit.'

I blink as a girl with a red cloak and a girl with a head full of blond hair looks around the tree again.

'…'

I fall into a portal.

"Wha- where did he go?!" Ruby whispers loudly.

"Look, Rubes, I get you have a crush on this guy, but REALLY, you haven't seen him in over two years, and even then, I think you have only exchanged like twenty sentences with the dude..." Yang whispers back. "Should we really be stalking him?"

"Wh- NO. I don't have a crush on him!" She instantly denies. "I just think he is really cool and I want to be his friend!"

"…"

"But you aren't denying the stalking bit-"

"It's not stalking! It is following! and we are just making sure he doesn't get into any trouble!" Ruby pouts. "And besides, he seemed pretty lonely that one time I met him and not much seems to have changed."

"…"

"I also kind of want to figure out how he is able to summon a sword when his semblance is portals..."

"of course, you do..." Yang sighs as she rubs the side of her head. "But how are you going to 'follow' him if he is currently gone... inside a portal..."

"Shshshsh!" Ruby quiets her as she pokes her head back around the tree, Yang following shortly after. "He is definitely going to come back! So keep a lookout!"

A third head pokes out around the tree above Yang's.

"Who are we spying on?" the third person asks.

"EEP-" Ruby jumps out from behind the tree along with Yang.

"Y-YOU?!"

"Yo." I shrug as I fall back into a portal and appear back under the tree I was leaning on earlier.

I start ignoring them again.

'hmm... what would be a good sword design...'

'how about a sword that has a gap down the center and can store water which can be used as a sharp water whip...'

A silver sword appears in my hand, all nicely polished n jazz, the handguard being basically just a 't' with the inner part of the arms being short and expanding outwards to be larger.

I poke the sword through a portal and watch as it sinks into the pond in front of me.

Water travels up the blade and eventually condenses in the gap between the two halves of the blade, making a 'complete' sword.

I shrug and let this sword disappear as well.

Ruby sits on her knees to my left while Yang just stands slightly back with her arms crossed.

"…"

"Need something?"

"…"

I glance over to Ruby to see her staring at the ground with a fairly cute blush on her face.

"…"

"U-Uhm..."

"…"

She abruptly stands and runs over to Yang, grabs her arm and pulls her back behind the tree she was originally spying on me from.

"…"

"Y-YANG?!" She whispers; however, I manage to catch it with a portal I am using to eavesdrop on them. "What do I say?!"

I summon another sword in my hand.

'constantly absorbs wind that can be released whenever I want as wind blades.'

A leaf slowly falls through the air about 3 feet away so I swing the sword through the air, creating a thin and small blade of wind that cleaves part of the leaf in half and dissipates about a foot afterwards

"Just act normal, Rubes, tell him that you want to hang out, and maybe he wont run this time..." Yang speaks after a few seconds. "Do I really need to be your wing-woman?"

"Mnnnn" Ruby pouts.

"Because we both know that if I have to ill walk up to him all 'hey, my sister likes you, if you don't go on a date with her ill break your kneecaps', you don't want that, right?"

"YAAAANNNG!"

I create a new weapon, which is basically just a regular combat knife.

'a really small sword that explodes whenever I want.'

'…'

'killer queen already touched that knife...'

I smile lightly and make it disappear as well.

"o-Okay." Ruby nods. "But what do I say?! HOW DO I INITIATE BASIC HUMAN COVERSATION?!"

"Complement his sword- NO WAIT!" Yang suddenly shrieks as she stops Ruby from going back around the tree.

"You should start your conversation by asking how he is MAKING the swords, you said his semblance was portals, and I see no portals around when he makes those weapons."

I create another sword.

'thin longsword that can have the blade extend up to twenty feet'

I hold the sword in one hand and make the blade grow, then shrink, then grow again, then I just make it disappear.

'what else can I do with my ability?'

Ruby kneels beside me again.

"H-Hi, I'm R-Ruby what's your name?" She stutters.

"Teal." I answer

"U-Uh, I just wanted to thank you for all those times you saved me!" She exclaims. "D-do you remember me?"

"You are one of the two people I actually bothered remembering the names of..." I shrug. "So, I mean, sure, and no problem for the saving thing."

I blink. "Technically, it is three... because one of them is just so amusing that I couldn't forget even if I wanted to!"

She watches me form another sword in my hand, then make it disappear like the rest.

'can shoot the blade like a bullet, but I only have one shot.'

"I mean, what sort of parent names their child 'Shay D. Mann'… that's like ASKING for them to become a bandit."

I quickly form another and make it disappear as well.

'floats around me and attacks a target I designate, meaning that it can be used as defense AND offense.'

"How... are you doing that?"

"I used my portal semblance to condense enough grimm essence into a power that is still technically an item so it works..."

"Wh-" she blinks. "What?"

"My power is one that breaks reality." I deadpan.

"O-Okay." She whispers before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, seemingly getting courage of some sort. "Be my friend."

"What-"

"Every time I see you, and ask this question, you avoid the question and run away." Ruby frowns. "So, I'm not asking anymore, Be. My. Friend."

"Uh, Rubes I don't know if that's how it works-"

"Sure, why not." I shrug, cutting off Yang as she goes to voice her opinion.

"…"

"did that seriously wor-"

"YAAAAY!" Ruby exclaims as she leaps to her feet and starts doing a little victory dance.

"…"

I look to Yang and then back to Ruby.

"I know what you are thinking, and yes, whenever she isn't shy... she's this..." Yang sighs.

Yang and I share a moment of second hand embarrassment, shame, realization and pain as we realize that this is my life now... and there is no escape.

The *ANGERY* of the day goes to: Random Nerd Otaku, the reason being that YOU MADE MY LIFE HELL WHEN I WENT TO GO COPY THESE GUEST REVIEWS! FECK U!

Annyway~

Guest Reviews:

RubyxTeal: "I'm going to assume tyrian interaction with Teal is preplanned with what I suggested before."

*Thumbs up*

Goteam: "I don't remember if you mentioned it but didn't then you say this is a Ruby and Teal story or is it a harem. Because of the way Teal and Weiss interact I would seem like Weiss is winning. Why does Weiss get a sacred gear and Ruby doesn't especially blade blacksmith she's the one who loves weapons with a passion. I can see if you give her the counterpart to it sword birth but still. Last thing is why does Weiss get to be a friend's with Teal but Ruby is denied."

Eh, either or... its gonna be a Ruby story or a Weiss story, maybe both.

Dontworryaboutsacredgears...Rubywillgetone

Because Weiss is calm, regal, and sophisticated... Ruby is a land mine full of second hand embaressment.

Guest 001: " Can't wait till momma Yukari and papa Dio have a chat with Teal
And will he be getting anymore ordainarydefinitelynotopnononocoursenot spatial abilities like being able to screw with the distance between things?"

Yep that chat will be glorious!

And of course he will you fucking idiot XD there are still things he can get from his creation ability... like the excaliber fragments... though I don't see why he would, he won't be able to wield them... seeing as how probably the only people capable of wielding them in Rwby would be 1: someone with silver eyes, or 2: Jaune.

D.O.F.: "says 'Faunus don't exist' as a reply for this chapter
inserts Tyrian who is a scorpion faunus at the same time

I feel like calling you an "Idort", but I know that'll lessen the chance you'll listen to my reviews anymore and my requests for bullying Cardin into submission will go ignored. So, I'll settle with asking you to bully Cardin once again, because it seems to not be one of your top priorities right now, and thus, an annoyance for you. Consider it payback for literally going back on what you wrote for this chapter."

call me an idort will you :C BANISHED! TO THE FUCKIN' MUUN WITH YEE!

He needs to let Cardin forget his garbage-can-based-trauma so he acts like a fucking douchebag in the beacon arcs... theeeen Teal will kick his ass...

R S: " Dio and fanon yukari were the parents he was referncing
shouldnt it be sakuya"

Alright, im just gonna flat out say it... you are kind of an idiot... give me ONE good reason why it should be sakuya instead of Yukari?

Guest 002: " He better hope the gods don't ever come back in his lifetime as discovering another gods champion/entertainment on their planet would be the same as a random stranger breaking into your house and plays with your sacred personal save slot of the sims, your going to get fucking pissed. So in preparation of the worse case scenario it's best to stock up the upside down with a crap load of food and water so he can hide for a long time and not be vaporized by the Dr Manhattan ripoffs."

Pfft- NAAAH goddess chan would be all "You must construct additional pilons" and send them back to their happy place as she eats their draconic souls, uttering a final "All your base are belong to us."

And the only way for the gods to come back is when the four relics are gathered... so if teal tosses one of them into the sun (Preferably the least useful one) he doesn't have to worry about it!

Cf96: " tyrian Knows teal in some mysterious way that's...concerning"

Yep.

Annnywaaay, see you all next week! I might also post a little something extra as I have two chapters (for separate stories) almost done and I want to see what you think of them! but now, i only have 3 more chapters prepared for Portals and Pizzazz... sad boi hours... though i guess this brief break has allowed me to play quite a few games, so that's nice!
