Chapter 21: Training Day

Norris Lake

December 7, 2019

Jacob and his friends drove RWBY and JNPR up to Norris Lake with Britney and her friends leading the way. They all got their auras unlocked and bought sticks of various lengths to use as makeshift training weapons. Needless to say they were all ready for training. Everyone got out of their vehicles and gathered around.

"Okay, Britney so how far is this location?" Jaune asked.

"Not far it's just a fifteen minute walk," answered Britney.

"So I guess we start walking then," Ricky said.

"Okay everyone grab some sticks," Kelly said, opening the trunk of her car.

Everyone grabbed some sticks then started to follow Britney to their soon to be training spot. Jacob catches up to Britney then decides to speak.

"Hey Britney what do you think of them?" Jacob asked.

"They are nice people, it's just that it's hard to believe that they are a bunch of fictional characters that happen to be real," Britney said.

"I know how you feel at that," Jacob said.

"And we're now pretty much involved in a war that we didn't ask to be in," she said.

"Yeah, I know," Jacob said.

"But on the plus side we have the advantage against Salem," he added.

"How so?" Britney asked.

"The teams showed up in between Volumes 2 and 3 and Volume 3 is when shit hits the fan and gets worse from there. Thanks to them watching the show, now we can make some plans on how to avoid this destruction," Jacob explained.

"But what if this Cinder chick tries to come up with another plan to try again?" Britney asked.

"We will think of something. We've got plenty of time to think," Jacob answered.

A moment of silence took over before Britney spoke again.

"So what do you think of them?" she asked.

"They're awesome to be with," Jacob said.

As Jacob and Britney were talking amongst each other, the others were talking about the two.

"Man, Jacob is trying to put the moves on Britney," Ricky said.

"Yeah they look so cute together," Ruby said.

"It would be nice for Britney to be with someone," Rebecca said.

"I hope you aren't going to try something on them," Robert said with a raised eyebrow.

"No. Why would I?" she asked.

"Because you tricked Jaune and Pyrrha into fucking each other senseless," Allen said.

That got both Jaune and Pyrrha to blush heavily.

"Don't remind us about that," Weiss said.

"With that attitude, this is why you aren't getting laid," Rebecca said.

"Excuse me?" Weiss said appalled.

"Anyway how long till we get to the location?" Nora asked.

"Depends on Britney," Kendra answered.

"Alright guys we're here," Britney called out to everyone.

Everyone looked around and saw a large open area surrounded by forest. They all thought the same thing, this was the perfect place to train and spare.

"This is definitely the perfect place to train Britney," Pyrrha said.

"Yeah, a lot of open space for us all to spar," Ren added.

"So what now?" Ruby asked.

"You tell us. You're the ones training us," Jacob said.

"Oh yeah," Ruby said.

"Alright ladies! Are you ready for the training of your lives?" Nora barks out.

"Uhhhh..." Kendra tried saying something.

"Because starting now, you all are going to be training to be the very first Earthling, or Terran whichever you prefer to be called, huntsmen and huntresses there is," Nora proclaimed.

"Why do I suddenly feel like I should be hiding?" Ricky whispered to Allen.

"Now drop and give me one hundred push ups," Nora yelled.

"Uhhhhh..." Everyone didn't know what to say.

"I SAID DROP AND GIVE ME A HUNDRED!" Nora shouted out.

Instantly, the group of high schoolers dropped to the ground and started to do some push ups.

"This is going to be a long day," Ricky grunted out.

"Quit your bitching and keep count," Robert said.

"After you have done your push ups, give me one hundred sit ups, fifty leg lifts, sit on air four ten minutes..." Nora continued to list down more exercise techniques.

"Lord, help us," Jacob grunted.

An hour had passed and all the high schoolers were sitting on the ground in exhaustion, panting heavily and drinking water. They all looked up to the Remnan huntsmen and huntresses in training to see what is in store next.

"And done... with the warm up," Nora cheerfully said.

"Wait, warm up?" Kendra asked.

"Yeah, so next each of you will partner up with one of us, of your choosing," Ruby said.

"And everyday, you will be switching partners from then on," Weiss said.

"So who will you all pick for today?" Jaune asked.

"I'll take Ren," Britney said.

"Dibs on Yang," Ricky said.

"I'll train with Pyrrha," Jacob said.

"I'll go for Weiss," Kendra said.

"I'll be with Ruby," Robert said.

"I choose Blake," Allen said.

"Nora, you and me," Rebecca said.

"I guess I'm with Jaune then," Kelly said.

"Okay so what now?" Kendra asked.

A few minutes later, everyone was sparring with their partners and as the Remnans predicted, the Terrans were not doing so well.

"Kendra, your right foot needs to be more forward," Weiss said to Kendra as she kept stumbling.

"Come on Ricky. Are you even trying to back my punches?" Yang asked as she threw some punches at Ricky, while he was trying desperately to block them.

"Be more focused, Britney," Ren said as he tried to slash and whack at Britney with two of his training sticks, while Britney was trying and failing to block and deflect every attack.

"Try to be more focused on my movements and not my stick. Also really? You're acting like that fat guy from that earth show, Family Guy," Pyrrha said to Jacob as he was clenching his right knee while slowly inhaling and exhaling in pain.

"Come here and fight me like a man!" Nora shouted at Rebecca, as Rebecca was running from Nora who was chasing her with a sledgehammer.

"You're too open, Kelly," Jaune said as he struck Kelly in the side with his stick.

"Allen, you are thinking too hard," Blake said as she was striking Allen in every direction as Allen was struggling to keep up.

"Come on Robert. Focus on defense more," Ruby said as Robert tried to strike at Ruby, only for her to dodge the attack and strike his head with her stick.

A few hours later, the high schoolers were all exhausted. Ricky, Rebecca, and Allen were laying on the ground, Jacob and Robert were on their hands and knees panting heavily, and Britney, Kelly, and Kendra all stood there panting while looking like they were about ready to pass out.

"Okay, I think we are done for today. What do you guy's think?" Ruby asked the Earthlings, to which they all groaned in response.

"Alright, let's all go back," Jaune said.

"We might need a minute here," said a panting Britney.
