Here we are once again. Now I don't have anything in particular to say about this chapter so let's just head on into it.
It's set the next day after the last chapter so don't expect a whole grand thing.
I don't own RWBY or any of it's characters.
It was just like any old day at Beacon. Drawxen was sleeping in sparring class.
It should come as no surprise that he didn't really care for a class meant for fighting only to win every single time. He participated for the first few days but after beating literally every person in said class he lost the tiny speck of interest he barely had in the first place. But this day was different because of a certain "genius" who was monitoring the sleeping wolf's every move.
A tiny little silver floating orb no bigger than a marble hovered right by Drawxen's ear, a small slot opened revealing a speaker. "Yo hybrid wake the hell up! It's the middle of the day and you're in class! Get your shit together or you'll die sooner than you'd like!"
Drawxen's eyes shot open and he clutched his ears in anguish as he fell down on the floor. He groaned and vigorously scratched the inside of his ear. Nobody seemed to notice his little incident as they were all to focused on the current match, Ruby vs Nora; pretty random match up but it was going well. He got up and focused his attention to the small sphere swirling around his head, he caught it in between his index finger and thumb and began to inspect it. "Solomond I know this is yours and knowing you, after a day, this is definitely your work probably with a camera and microphone hidden in it. So what do you want." he said angrily at the tiny ball.
The slot with the speaker opened up again and let out a high pitched ringing noise. Drawxen let it go and clutched his ears for a moment. When the ringing finally stopped it was replaced with Solomonds gleeful laugh, "Hahaha now that was a sight to behold, kinda weird how nobody noticed your struggle but what does it matter. Anyway's sorry about the spy marble, that's what I call the little device talking to you right now. I needed it as a way to make sure you don't turn in broad daylight and as an added bonus I get to annoy you like this all day. Fun right?" he teased.
Drawxen raised his hands and grew his nails to be claws, then stuck them in his ears to deafen himself. 'I'll heal them later but dammit that hurt like a bitch' he thought to himself as Solomonds monitor sphere circled him.
He pretty much just sat there and watched the rest of the fight unfold, Nora one by ring out. He rested his head back down on his arms for about ten seconds before Glynda used her semblance to pull him down into the arena. He looked up and saw Glynda tapping her foot rapidly and looked down at him expectedly.
Begrudgingly he focused his aura into his ears to heal them and picked himself up off the ground. He cracked his neck and lightly rubbed his ears as they finished healing, "Do I wanna know what this is about?" he asked sounding more tired than anything else.
Glynda put on a devilish smirk and and started typing on her scroll pad, "Well Mr. Drawxen you haven't participated in any sparring matches in quite a while, though that's no surprise seeing as you've won all of them. But today we have a new partner for you. You can come in now." she yelled out facing the entrance.
Footsteps were heard coming slowly towards them from the hall, Drawxen had a confused look on his face for a moment before it turned to a look of horror. He gritted his teeth and balled his hands into fists, "You didn't." he sneered at her.
Glynda just shrugged and walked off to the side leaving Drawxen standing there without an answer, not that he needed one.
"This is not going to end well."
When the footsteps stopped the source of them was now in the room. Solomond was there with his armour already on, but it was different than the armour he wore when they first met him. The head and main body was still silver but the fingers, shoulders, belt, eyes, feet and palms of the hands were a deep red color. The arms and legs weren't just red or silver but had random patches of each all along them, similar to a camouflage design. It still had a giant A on the torso but instead of blue it was now a bright red with the same color lines connecting it to the shoulders. And to top it all off six red mechanical appendages/arms/robotic tentacle looking thing's with three pincer claws at the ends came out from his back. (Like doctor octopus' mechanical arms, but red and there's six of them)
One of the robotic arms took off his helmet to reveal Solomond's face, he looked to the stands and winked at all the girls, most of whom just ignore him. He turned to Drawxen and gestured with all his arms, excluding the one holding his helmet, for him to come at him. "Let's go Hybrid, let's give em all a show." he said provoking the wolf.
Drawxen pulled out his tonfa's and twirled them around a bit and got into his fighting stance, "It'll be a nice preview." he said right before they charged at each other at full speed.
At lunch about 30 minutes later.
Teams JNPR, RWBY were all sitting at lunch staring at Drawxen with his head on the table.
Nora: "Dude, that was an awesome match."
Drawxen: "Mmmmm"
Weiss: "Personally I expected more from you."
Drawxen: "Mmmmm!"
Jaune: "It definitely had a better ending than last time."
Drawxen: "MMMMMMMMM!"
Yang: "It's already got thirty six thousand views!"
Drawxen: "MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
Ruby: "For what it's worth, I think you did great."
Pyrrha: "So do I…...But there was some room for improvement."
Drawxen: "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
Blake: "Hey guys, do you think maybe we should take those restraints off of him?"
Yang: "No way it's too funny!"
Drawxen screamed and tried reached out to strangle her but couldn't move his arms at all due to the fact that his entire torso was encased in an iron cocoon with Solomond's symbol on it (an armour chest piece with a "A" going through it.) as well as a large metal slab covering his mouth stopping him from speaking in any way at all. He wiggled in his seat trying to break free but made no progress.
Ren: "I think for our own safety we better leave them on."
Drawxen stamped his foot on the ground cracking it as he kept on struggling to break free from his restraints. They all just ignored his constant muffled screams and continued to chat amongst themselves. Eventually Drawxen got fed up with their lack of helping him so he got up and left to search for the reason of his little predicament.
"You'd think he would just use his semblance to break free?" Ruby pointed out to the group after he left. They all nodded along in agreement with her, "Once again, I'm unimpressed."
Where Drawxen is
Random bashing was heard against a large iron door, Solomond lifted his head out from a medical waste bin and went to open the door. He scanned his hand in a panel next to the door frame and the door folded in and a large piece of metal came flying in through them nearly hitting him.
Drawxen stomped in the room with a furious look on his face, and a metal slab still covering his mouth. Solomond smirked and started to walk back to the bin his head was in (Ha rhymes) whilst talking to his guest, "Hey Hybrid, why so quiet? HA get it cuz I kicked your ass then shut you up, good job getting out of the jacket by the way I made those to drain/absorb aura and the physical energy you exert when you try to break free then redirects it into itself to become stronger. I got the idea when this girl I was uh 'dating' used chain's lined with dust to try and stop me from leaving her but the jokes on her, cuz I got away. So come in admire the genius of my lab, ignore that bin it's an experiment of mine."
Drawxen just punched the wall in anger not caring about what he's saying and let out a muffled scream, "MMMMMMMMMMMMM!" which translated to "Get this this the fuck off of me!"
The weird scientist just nodded and clapped with a laugh as if he understood what his new rival said. "Alright don't get your tail in a knot. Let me just get one of my gloves." and so he did, then after a brief removal period Solomond finally got it off and his glove folded back into a ring.
As soon as Drawxen heard the metal crack he tore it off his face and threw it through a wall. Solomond rubbed his eyes in exasperation and shook his head, "C'mon man that was a new wall. I literally built that wall last night and I did not need your temper tantrum messing up my lab."
"YOU PUT ME IN WHAT WAS ESSENTIALLY A STRAIGHT JACKET WITH A MOUTH-GUARD ON!"
He just waved off the yelling of his guest and walked away from him, he snapped his fingers and the metal of the floor rose up and formed into a chair. He slumped down and rubbed the sides of his head, "Hybrid can I confess something to you?", "Go fuck yourself." Drawxen venomously retorted rubbing his aching jaw. Solomond ignored his comment and continued talking, "I'm having a bit of trouble with something. The girls around this school are really something and I can't decide which one I wanna take a swing at first. Ruby's got a great mind and seems to know a bit about weapons but she's too young so she's out. Weiss is lovely, classy, and smart all of which are nice but I'm not so sure I want to be on the receiving end of her cold personality. Blake is stunning, cat faunus are known to be very alluring and her silence makes her much more alluring. Yang no, no blondes, blondes scare me. Nora freaks me out and I don't need that. Pyrrha Niko's oh sweet lords still my beating heart, that's all I got. So any words of advice buddy?"
Drawxen stood still with a stupefied expression on his face. He turned on his semblance and snapped his own neck, his limp body fell to the floor and laid there.
As his ring once again expanded into an armored glove Solomond opened his hand and the time showed up as a hologram in his hand. Five seconds later Drawxen rose up and and snapped his head back into place before powering down, "Sorry I just needed to get away from the nightmare that is you so I tried killing myself." Drawxen grunted in annoyance. Solomond just raised his armored hand and projected six holograms of himself raising "the bird" up to him. Drawxen scoffed and started heading towards the door but was abruptly stopped by Solomond shooting the floor in front of him. Drawxen turned back and started cracking his knuckles, "Whoa. Slow down beastie. Now before you start being yourself listen to why I need you around for a minute."
Drawxen snarled and bit his bottom lip, "I'll give you eight words." he hissed.
Solomond's smirk widened and he got out of his chair. He tilted his head to the side and raised his shoulders slightly, "Want a tattoo?"
Meanwhile with the evil doers
In vale Cinder was sitting in a coffee shop sipping on some tea with her eyes closed she's wearing her usual red dress and black heels. Just as she finishes her drink the door opens and the one who walks in is a tall fancy dressed bull faunus with blazing red hair and was carrying a long sword. Adam Taurus. Without the mask. (I'm not going into descriptions. That is non negotiable)
He sits down and leans his sword against the table, "So. What'd you want to talk about?" he asked getting straight to the point.
Cinder smiled and folded her hands on the table, "Ozpin brought a new student into Beacon some time ago and he's….special."
Adam furrowed his brow and gritted his teeth slightly, "You better not be wasting my time here. Get to the point!" he said resisting the urge to slam his hand on the table. Cinder smiled and pulled out her scroll and showed him a picture of Drawxen and Solomond's fight in Vale, "He's not a normal huntsman."
Adam grabbed the scroll and scrolled (Ha) through pictures showing off the fight and Drawxen. He went wide eyed and was practically speechless, he took a deep breathe and handed her back her scroll "I recognize him. That's the son of bitch that trashed our science branch." he pulled out his scroll and then showed her footage from then (Read best day ever for reference) and Cinder was both shocked and very happy. She smiled evilly and looked back at him, "So. What're we going to do about this."
And then…..An evil plot began to take shape
Now with to Drawxen
In the middle of Forever Fall a king taijitu roared in pain and fell over. It laid still for a moment before the one of head's mouths opened up and Drawxen climbed out before it started to disappear. He wiped it's blood off his face and cracked his neck before walking away, "Pft you ain't shit" he muttered under his breath.
He jumped up into the tree's and started hoping from tree to tree just letting the wind brush through his black and white hair. He landed on the ground and activated his semblance before he disappeared and began running through the forest as fast as he could. He just ran and ran through the forest cutting down any and all grimm with his claws as he passed by, in passing a boarbatusk he grabbed it by the tusk and threw it ahead of him into a ursa. He hopped over the disappearing body of the two grimm and just kept running. He stopped right in front of a broken bridge, on the other side he could see what appeared to be ruins that were mostly destroyed, probably by grimm. He took a step back and jumped across to the other side with ease, he then continued to run and jumped on to the side of a nearby cliff, he dug his claws into the hillside and started to climb his way up to the top at breathtaking speeds.
He made it to the top and turned back to his normal state as he turned to look at the vast view from atop the cliff. His ears twitched slightly and he quickly turned and caught a knife heading towards him.
"Good reflexes." Blake said from behind him. Drawxen rolled his eyes and tossed the knife off the cliff and sat down in front of her, "Just shut up and get your book out cat." Blake pulled out said book but held it away from him leaving him with a puzzled and slightly annoyed expression. "I'll start reading if you show me that gift you were talking about." she said in a bargaining tone. Drawxen had his usual stoic expression and took off his jacket and shirt showing off a new mark on him.
It was a small combination with his symbol and the moon. It was a large black star on the left side of his chest but only half of it was intact, the rest was in pieces that just reached the center of his chest.
Blake blinked a few times taken aback but the sudden shock but quickly recovered and began to admire the artwork that's now in her friend's skin. "Well this is a surprise." she said examining the tattoo. Drawxen nodded and put his shirt and jacket back on, "Alright now let's get to reading cuz I want to finish the book before I have to go on Ozpin's errand with Ironwood's pet. By the way while I've got you which sound more believable, a pack of grimm got the jump on us and ate Solomond alive or if he broke his neck when he 'accidentally' fell into a ditch?" Drawxen asked the cat faunus.
"Neither. Neither of those options sound believable in any way." She blankly answered. Drawxen scratched his wolf ears, "What if a several bullets somehow finds a way into his face and chest?" he wondered out aloud. Blake just shot him and started reading as he fell backwards and off the cliff. "BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiitch!..." he shouted as he fell to the bottom with a loud THUD!
With a series of loud crack sounds (I couldn't think of anything else) he climbed back up, flipped her off and started reading alongside her.
"So how're thing's going with Sun?", "Please stop talking."
"I'm just being a concerned friend is all. Is that so wrong?" he asked semi sarcastically with a small chuckle at the end of his sentence. Blake didn't even bother looking up and just replied "You know I think I liked it better when you were all dark and moody."
"Well of course I still am but if i'm stuck here then I intend to make the most of it." Drawxen said with a smile to his feline friend. Since they became friends he had become much more talkative and social with her and her team. He's been eating with them at lunch almost every day now with the occasional day he when he decides to just take a nap in the library. Truth be told he prefers the naps but he'll either sleep through his next class and miss it before someone wakes him up or Yang will keep waking him up until he agrees to go eat lunch with the rest of them. Yang's been doing a bunch of thing's like that to try and break him out of his shell, she's been inviting him to play world of remnant with them a lot, asked him to study with them, train with them etc. For the most part he's been saying no, today he hasn't really talked to her at all excluding the muffled screams he sent her at lunch while he was still in the restraints Solomond put on him. After he got the tattoo he invited Blake to a reading out in the forest so that if they were interrupted it would just be grimm and they could kill it, and truthfully he enjoyed their reading sessions they were fun for him. Being hunted most of his life didn't exactly give him time to have many friends, but here at Beacon he definitely had something.
A smile snuck it's way to his mouth as this thought crossed Drawxen's mind.
As they walked back to Beacon after having their little reading session Drawxen did his best to move the topic of conversation to Sun, much to Blake's annoyance.
"Is it because he's a faunus?"
"Please stop."
"You know as your friend I think me and him should have a talk."
"You're not killing him."
Drawxen went in front of her and turned around walking backwards, still carrying the conversation. "Is that concern I hear from you cat?" he asks with a winning smirk seeing a faint blush on her cheeks as she avoided his gaze.
"Ugh! You're worse than Yang." She complained pushing past him
Drawxen stopped in his track, feigned a hurt look and put his hand over his heart, "You wound me. You know I'm better than little miss temper tantrum." he responded catching up to her. Blake almost cracked a smile but knew that would only add fuel to the fire so she just shook her head and said, "Drawxen. You're an idiot."
He clapped his hands together and spun around walking side by side with her now with a smile, like a normal person. Blake eyed him suspiciously, while it's true he's opened up more recently he's never been this happy and it was starting to scare her a little. "Hey Drawxen? *He hums in response* Are you…..okay?" she hesitated with slight fear.
"Oh yeah I feel great. Greater than great, just a-fucking-mazing." He practically sang out
To Solomond for a brief moment
Grinning like a madman Solomond was sitting down in front of his computer. He pressed record and leaned back in his chair, "Day 3 here at beacon: I've finished setting up my travel lab, I hear the reconstruction of Vale is going faster than expected all thanks to my drones so it should be done in time for the Vytal festival. Still haven't gotten through to some of the girl's yet, probably because I keep trying to talk to the ones who know who I am. Oh! but the best thing ever happened today, so the hot teacher with the cape and glasses asked me to fight Bxlad today and I happily put him in a experimental straight-jacket then later gave him a tattoo as an 'I'm sorry'. But what I didn't tell him was that I mixed in something I call 'Beatus Gaudium' it's latin for happy joy, which is a happiness/energy drug I made specifically for him that'll just make him all sunshine and rainbows for the next 24 hours and as the day goes on he'll keep getting happier and more hyperactive. I look forward to seeing what happens. Agent Arsenal, logging off." he said right before turning the recording off.
Now back to the wolf and cat
At this point in time Blake can clearly see that's something is definitely wrong with him, he never smiles this much. EVER. He's practically skipping and his tail is out of control. they're on their way to RWBY's dorm in hopes that someone can help her deal with whatever's got Drawxen bouncing off the walls like a kid in a candy store.
Blake put her hand on the door hesitant to open it, mainly because she wasn't sure how she was going to explain the hyperactive grimm faunus chasing his own tail.
She finally opened the door to see all was well. Yang was doing push ups, Ruby was listening to some music while reading a comic and munching on some cookies, and Weiss was studying. Yang was the first to notice them and gave a quick hello, "Hey Blake, hey Drawxen. How's our favorite cat and dog duo doing?"
"We-" "OH MY OUM COOKIES!" Drawxen yelled interrupting her, he practically flew past her and jumped up on Ruby's bed and snatched the plate of cookies away the ate them all in a split second.
Ruby looked more heartbroken than shocked. She rushed to Blake's side and hugged her waist tightly, "Why would you let him do this." she practically wept as she hugged her faunus friend. All attention was on Drawxen now as he got off the bed and started hopping in place rapidly. Weiss walked up and put one hand on his shoulder to try and steady him and another over his heart. She raised an eyebrow and glared at Ruby and Blake, "His heart is like a bullet train, what was in those cookies?"
"My happiness!" Ruby dramatically cried out as she slumped down to hugging Blake's leg.
Yang got up and pried Ruby off of Blake causing her to latch on to her instead. While she tried to get Ruby off of her Blake went up to Drawxen and Weiss to explain their predicament.
"It's not the cookies. I don't know what got into him but we were reading in forever fall and as we walked back he started getting more….bubbly and weird." she perplexed.
Yang who was wrestling with ruby in an anime dust cloud spoke out, "Maybe he tried coffee for the first time-RUBY LET GO OF MY HAIR!" She exclaimed. Blake dismissed the idea since she was with him the whole time and they didn't take a coffee break. Though it wasn't a far fetched one, after all they've seen some weird reactions to coffee. (Cough cough. Nora)
Drawxen who had somehow gotten to the other side of the room without anyone noticing was speed reading through all their books leaving a massive pile of them around him and not paying any attention to the girls discussing his "situation" when he spotted Zwei sitting in front of him.
"So why bring him here?" Weiss asked, Blake shrugged and raised her hands "What was I supposed to do, take him to Professor Ozpin and say 'Sorry professor but I think we broke your son'. Besides I was alone, how else was I supposed to deal with *turns to Drawxen. Pauses then points* That…." she said at a loss for words. They all looked and had stupefied expressions, Drawxen had stopped reading and was now juggling a book, one of his tonfa's, his scroll, Zwei, Crescent Rose, and a watermelon at alarming speeds while chasing his own tail. Where he got the watermelon is slowly and cautiously turned back around and got into a team huddle to discuss what's wrong with him. First and foremost they did agree that the juggling was impressive and that something was either very wrong or very right with him. Regardless of how concerning it was to see him so out of character the girls couldn't help but find his behavior extremely funny. Yang and Ruby may have even started taking a few photos of and with him as well as recorded his behavior for future teasing moments.
"So explain to me again exactly what happened." Weiss asked
Blake looked back at their friends taking selfies with funny hats and sighed, "It's like I said earlier, we were reading in the forest he showed me his new tattoo, we walked back and then all of a sudden he's jumping around like a kid on a sugar high." she explained
Weiss put a hand to her chin and started to think, there must have been some explanation as to why the moody grimm faunus would've had a sudden personality flip. She snapped her fingers as she got an idea, however no one would like it. But they had little options and this seemed like there only one that didn't involve getting Ozpin involved. Weiss grabbed Yang and Blake and and headed for the door, "Ruby keep him busy. We're going to either fix this or make it worse." she spouted before leaving with the other two.
Ruby looked back at Drawxen, crouched down and scratching his ears with his foot, and pulled out crescent rose. "Hey Drawxen. Wanna play a game?" she asked tempting the boy's curiosity. Drawxen jumped up and shook his head rapidly up and down. Ruby smiled giddily and put a cooked chicken at the end of her scythe, "Alright, you can have this if you can catch me." she said enticing him with the food.
Drawxen went wide eyed and started to drool at the sight of the chicken, as Ruby moved it from left to right his eyes followed like a bug follow's light. "Ready. Three. Two. one. GO!" She yelled before running out the door as fast as she can. Drawxen didn't hesitate to run after her at his own superhuman speeds.
Scene Change
Weiss, Blake and Yang knocked on the door to Solomond's trailer, expecting the worst. Fortunately for them it wasn't the worst thing that answered, pretty close though. He opened the door completely covered in ash and had an actual birds nest in his hair. The only recognizable thing about him was his robotic blue eye that seemed to glow brighter because of the ash.
The door flung open with him looking like that and practically yelled "Helloooo ladi-" then Yang punched him not wanting to hear the end of that. He fell back with a thud and shook off all the ash off of himself, he got up and rubbed his cheek and felt it throb in pain "Wow. Nice left hook there, though you're stance is all wrong." Yang was about to punch him again but Weiss and Blake held her back. They let her go and Solomond motioned for them to come in.
He sat in his floating chair and twirled around in it waiting for them to explain themselves.
"So I'll cut to the chase, we have a problem and we need you to help deal with it." said Weiss
Solomond looked between the three of them and immediately knew what was wrong, seems like they found his little prank. He folded his hands in his lap and tried to held back his laughter that was slowly building up within him.
Yang showed him the selfies she and Ruby took with him and a video of him juggling and chasing his tail, "Something's wrong with him, he's way way way too happy. Look at these, there's no way he would've let us take these let alone smiled in them." Yang explained not bothering to smile at the pictures. "We were hoping you might some theory or something since you're 'the smartest in the world' as you keep saying." she said not hiding her discomfort with the whole situation.
He stared at the pictures and videos for a little while and noticed something between them all, with each newer one he acted more and more dog like. 'Well that's not right.'
Solomond clapped his hands and his chair rose higher up in the air and morphed into a platform for him to stand on. He looked down on them and removed the birds nest from his hair putting it on a high shelf, "I'm aware of your little predicament. Since I'm the reason he's so happy" he said beaming with pride in his work. They all looked at him like he was crazy, which he probably was all thing's considered. "Uh what do you mean you're the reason?" Asked Yang.
"Before I answer that I don't suppose any of you have a strand of hair or a blood sample or anything with his DNA on it from when this all started. Weiss had a disgusted look on her face and shook her head rapidly saying no, Blake just shook her head. Yang raised her hand and said "I do *Reaches into jacket pocket. Pulls out locks of fur*. They were in the hairbrush I used to groom his tail before we left." she admitted shyly. Solomond thanked her and took the strands while Weiss and Blake gave her grossed out and concerned looks.
Meanwhile, Solomond put the strands of hair on his workbench and dripped a few drops of the 'Beatus Gaudium' in the cells of them. He put on his helmet and zoomed way in to see the cells. He took the helmet off and bumped his ring's together, covering his arms with armour. He projected holographic DNA strands and started controlling them like puppets. On his left was Drawxen's strand, it was white with bits and pieces of red all throughout it. The on his right was an entirely blue triangular strand, the happy drug's strand. He put bit's of the Beatus Gaudium in Drawxen's DNA, he zoomed in and focused on the cells in it and saw the blue spread in them very slowly. Zooming back out and bringing up a clock projection on his right he turned it forward accelerating the spread of the blue in Drawxen's cells, in the hologram. When he stopped turning the clock he took a step back and scratched his head nervously. He shushed Weiss when she was asking what he was doing and kept staring at the end result of his little test.
Drawxen's entire DNA strand was now a sickly purple color instead of the original white and red.
He sat down and put his hands on his head and had a panicked look on his face. Blake tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention and his head shot up. The girls were all looking at him with anticipation waiting for him to explain what all that meant, without saying anything he knew what they wanted and got up.
"*clears throat* Okay so I know you want an explanation and do deserve one so let's do this. Umm basically I gave Drawxen a tattoo that may have had an experimental drug in it that makes the subject just love everything and be happy for twenty-four hours. However what I didn't take into consideration was his grimm DNA, that's what those red dots were in his strand." he explained with a shaky tone in his voice.
"But what would that have to do with anything?" asked Yang not seeing the problem
Solomond moved the purple hologram strand in between him and them and projected the original hologram strand next to it. "This here on my left is a strand of Drawxen's DNA in it's normal state, the red dots represent his grimm parts and as you can see are spread all throughout it. Now this purple strand is his DNA after having the drug in his system for about five hours. So from what I can gather/theorize, because grimm are naturally very aggressive and are beings of pure evil they aren't supposed to feel happiness, at least not this kind, so the over exaggerated amount of joy and energy in his system his clashing with the grimm desire to kill everything and seek out negativity and has caused it to rise a bit. From what I can gather because of this clash of positive and negative has left his mind very delicate and unstable, he's like a newborn puppy made of glass. To put it simply: because his mind is a wee bit messed up at the moment he's referring to his animal like nature, that's why he's acting more dog like than just happy. But because that 'animal' is a grimm he has to stay happy otherwise if anything and I mean anything at all makes him even the tiniest upset, he is going to go nuts and kill everyone."
They all looked at each other and remembered what he was like when he let loose, and it scared the hell out of all of them. Weiss began to panic and gripped a fistful of Solomonds shirt, "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!" She shouted at him with intense rage. Solomond raised his hands in defense but before he could answer Weiss slapped him across the face.
"Okay well that was better than the sword."
"This is NOT. FUNNY! Because of your recklessness the entire school is in danger!" She screamed at him one hand holding his shirt the other trembling near Myrtenaster's hilt. Yang grabbed her arm holding Solomond and Blake grabbed the one near Myrtenaster and pulled her back before she went ballistic. Solomond smoothed out his shirt and recalled his armored arms into his rings and took them off. Weiss looked at her teammates and calmed down so they would let go. They all gave him one last look and headed for the door, Blake and Weiss left but Yang stopped and looked at Solomond with red eyes. "If you don't have a solution we won't stop her next time." she threatened before leaving.
As soon as they left Solomond hurried to his desk and started typing. The top part opened up and revealed a whole arrangement of rings varying in colors. He took off his two silver rings and switched them out for four others, two black and two white. One black and white on each hand mixing the colors. "Computer prep the new suit, code-name: Long live the king."
With Drawxen
Drawxen was on all fours with his nose to the ground sniffing the floors of Beacon with crowds of students watching him and whispering among themselves about what he was doing and what was wrong with him. He had been tracking Ruby like that for some time now, he was effortlessly keeping up with her for the first few minutes of their game but she tricked him at some point and he lost her.
So he had been sniffing around trying to find her scent since he lost track of kept on like that and stopped when he heard someone start to call him.
"Yo, Drawxen. What're you doing?"
Drawxen look up to see Sun on one knee leaning down to talk to him and giving him a confused look. He didn't answer and just stared at Sun intensely as if expecting him to do something, but he just laughed nervously and scratched his head. Sun looked around and saw how people were staring and didn't like it, "Hey buddy I don't know what you're up to but this ain't exactly a normal scenario here sooooo wanna get up?" he asked clearly uncomfortable with the situation.
Drawxen just sniffed him for a brief second and shook his head then went back to tracking Ruby.
Sun stood up and scratched the side of his head, he hasn't had any real conversations with the wolf but he was in the classes Drawxen taught for a period of time, and he had heard many stories of him from Blake or rumors about him around the school. So with all thing's considered, he just assumed Drawxen was insane or something. But sniffing the ground is certainly quite an odd activity for anyone to do, especially someone as aloof as Drawxen. He stood up and waved at all the students watching "Okay move along, nothing to see here." he said looking around and shooing people away.
When he looked back to where Drawxen was he was ready to call Blake to help get him to move from here, unfortunately Drawxen disappeared as if he was never there leaving Sun dumbfounded and confused as to what happened.
Line break
Drawxen, on all fours again, was running through Beacon, he could tell that he was closing in on his "prey". He was crawling up on the ceiling staring down at Ruby, sitting against a wall catching her breathe. He jumped down and landed in front of her like a nightmarish beast. His red eyes shown bright and paralyzed her in place, he reached a trembling hand out and slowly neared her head. Ruby couldn't take her eyes off of his, she's been told about this by Weiss but her description didn't do anything to explain the true feeling of fear she feels at that moment. She tried to close her eyes when his hand reached her head and tried to mentally prepare herself for something she didn't even know about.
Then he patted her head lightly knocking her out of her trance.
Ruby's expression was unreadable, she had honestly expected he was going to kill her and at the same time felt like she couldn't think at all.
While she was distracted by her own thoughts Drawxen took the opportunity to take the chicken sitting next to her and sped off.
"MINE NOW BYE!" He yelled in a surprisingly high pitched voice before disappearing.
Sitting on the roof of Beacon he sniffed the Chicken and licked his lips and smiled, drooling with excitement. "MINE!" He screamed before taking a massive bite out of it. He continued eating the chicken happily with a look of pure bliss on his face as he ate. His ears twitched and he looked down to see RWBY chatting on the ground. Lowering his head slightly and focusing in on their voices, he began to listen.
W: "I can't believe you lost him!"
R: "Weiss I said I'm sorry, you don't need to get mad at everything you know."
W: "Sorry doesn't help us find him!"
B: "Enough, both of you. We need to find him and keep him detainted now."
Y: "I just talked with JNPR and told them to be on the lookout and to be extremely careful so we got some help at least."
R: "Alright well that's something, Blake do you think you can get Sun and Neptune to help?"
B: "Probably but I'd rather not get too many people involved."
Y: "Pft yeah right, you're just worried about Sun."
W: "Yang. Stay on topic."
Drawxen finished eating the chicken and started chewing on the bones like they were toy's. In his current state of mind he didn't fully understand what they were saying and quite frankly he didn't care at all. So he chewed up the bones until he got bored of them and tossed them off the roof. Stretching out his arms and legs he let out a satisfying groan and looked down on the other side of the building. From there he could see forever fall in all it's magnificence very far off into the distance and was picking up the scent of the tree sap. Grinning mischievously he leaped off the roof and headed towards the forest. Unfortunately for him he was spotted.
Landing on the ground he made a break for the forest, running on all fours he reveled in the feeling of the wind blowing through his hair. He jumped over a group of students but before he landed a body crashed itself into his.
He sat in shock as he felt his body being hugged and heard his "attacker" say, "Yay big puppy! I will hug him and pet him and feed him and play with him and call him Steve!"
"Nora put him down!" yelled Pyrrha
Drawxen looked around to see the rest of team JNPR running up to them. Nora did as told and let him go. He shook his head violently and scratched behind his ears then propped himself on all fours, lightly growling at them. Ren, Jaune and Nora all readied their weapons but Pyrrha raised her hand to stop them before they could do anything. She slowly and cautiously approached him, dropping her weapons to show she meant no harm as she got closer. Jaune was about to stop her before she got too close but Ren put a hand on his shoulder, assuring him that Pyrrha will be fine. He looked at her and she nodded at him confirming Ren's words. Looking back to Drawxen she knelt down in front of him and inched her hand closer to his head. He originally growled as a response but didn't make any action to stop her. She placed her hand gently on his head and started to slowly pet him, Drawxen stopped growling and leaned into her hand further encouraging her to continue.
After calming him down completely Pyrrha got up and started leading him back to the school with the rest of JNPR. Problem solved all was well with the world and peace seemed to have been achieved.
"AH!"
Never mind
Everyone whipped their heads around to see Drawxen with his hands over his mouth and a pained expression on his face. Jaune narrowed his eyes and saw some small specks of blood on his lip, he bit his tongue. Jaune's leadership instincts kicked in and he sprang into action, "Pyrrha shields!" he yelled to her. They stood in front of the other two with their shields drawn in front of them all defending.
Drawxen's ears went back and he howled as he began to activate his semblance then smash the ground below him with great strength. The wind sent pieces of the ground flying and crashing into Jaune and Pyrrha shields pushing them back into Ren and Nora, forcing them to loose their balance and go tumbling away.
Drawxen held his head and started to shake sporadically, he turned back to forever fall and growled. Crouching in a running position he pushed off his back feet and disappeared, heading towards the forest.
Way off on the other side of Beacon team RWBY all heard the scream and the smash that Drawxen made and looked in that direction as the wind blew their hair in the opposite direction (Dramatic/epically)
"Umm any chance that was an earthquake?" Ruby asked scared to find out the answer.
Yang gulped and parted her lips to answer with a witty comeback, but no word came out, just silence.
"No Ruby that was not an earthquake. That is death, and we are going to run straight towards it." Said Weiss.
They heard another loud crash sound and saw a figure in the far off distance jump down, headed in the direction of Forever Fall. And at that point they all had the same, or similar, thought going through their heads.
'We're fu-'
Well that's all for this, I am so sorry it took so long and it's so short but I had a whole problem with my laptop then other stuff came up it's all just a mess.
I didn't intend to cut this chapter off so short but I figured it's been too long since I last updated so I'd send out this little bit.
Please review, favorite and follow.
