Chapter 4
Yang was walking through the Emerald forest still looking for a partner and the temple "Hello" she said something in the bushes. "Is anyone out there?" she asked. "Hello, getting bored here" Yang then heard a rustle "Someone there" she said walking toward the bushes "Ruby, Iskandar is that you" she said peeking in the bushes she looked up to see two ursa "Nope" was her initial response and she jumped and rolled out the way. Her gauntlets transformed into her ember celica, another ursa lunged towards her but Yang cartwheeled out of it's path, the first ursa charge standing on it's hind legs responded with a punch to the monster's gut sending it flying onto it's back, the other ursa attacked but got uppercut then followed with a with a kick which made the ursa fall on it's belly.
As the Ursa got up Yang just smiled. "You guys wouldn't happened to have seen a girl in a red hood would you" she said, the Ursa just roared at her "You could have said 'no'" she replied as one of the Ursi swung their claws at her, Yang back flipped away and laughed 'geez you wouldn't hit the broad side of a" Yang lost her concentration as she saw a strand of her own hair fall to the ground "You" she said closing her eyes, the ursi looked to themselves then opening them to reveal her lilac eyes have turned crimson red "YOU MONSTERS" she shouted in rage as a flaming aura burst from her being the then rockets to the nearest ursa, yelling and gives it a left and right hook that lifts it into the air then delivers some rapid fire punches to the grimm's abdomen in pure rage, the final punch sent it flying smashing the trees in it's path.
The other ursa came running towards Yang. "What you want some too" she said still angry, the ursa stood on it's hind legs but before it could do anything else, someone stabbed it in the back making it fall to the ground on it's belly, the mysterious assailant was Blake with her gamble shroud stuck in the monsters back it was in it's gun/sickle mode, blake pulled on the ribbon connecting her to her weapon, and the sickle unhooked itself from the grimm and made it's way back Blake's hands she then turned and gave a smile to Yang as the ursa started to break into ashes.
"I could have taken it" Yang simply said.
"Hey you're the girl that hangs around Iskandar, Yang right?" Blake asked.
"Yeah, why did you want to partner with him?" she asked out of curiosity.
"No, besides that stream of fire was definitely him" Blake said.
"So that's his power, kind of obvious that I think about it, you know dragon faunus and all, that didn't sound racist did it" Yang said.
"Nah you're good, still I wouldn't trust him if I were you" Blake said.
"Why do you say that?" Yang said.
"There is still so little you know if him, I'm just saying for your own well being stay away from him," Blake said in a cautious tone as she walked off
"Jeez, that girl is enigma," Yang said to herself as she followed her teammate 'still there isn't much I know about Iskandar' she thought as she followed Blake.
Yinsen and Silva were trekking through the forest still determined to find the temple, Silva still had trouble warming up to him. Yinsen still had a stoic look on his face, focused on his goal although he did sneak a quick glance toward his partner and looked at her twitching cat ears, he knew she was nervous but he knew this kind of environment isn't kind to people with her personality, "Look if we are going to be working together for a while, so mind if you give me the common courtesy and tell me your name" Yinsen said.
Silva was trembling "My, my name is Sil-Sil-Sil" Silva stuttered.
"SILVA" a voice yelled they turned to see Silver flying towards his cat faunus sister ecstatically and giving her a big hug.
"Silver" she said excited to see his brother again.
She then pointed to Yinsen with a smile "This is my partner, Yinsen Carnation" Silva said.
Silver eyes widened at the sight of Yinsen she let go of his sister, then walked up to Yinsen and grabbed him by the collar and lifts him up "Okay scumbag, what were you planning to do with my sister?" He said angrily
"One, you best let go of me before you get hurt, two I only just met her were just finding the temple and three if you are trying to protect your sister from any perverted scumbags, to the point where you block out everything else" Yinsen then points to Silva, Silver turns his head to see Grey being awfully close to Silva
"The name is Grey Thunder, might I say from one cat faunus to another you a beautiful" Grey said as he kissed the back of her hand. Seeing the sight infuriated Silver as he let go of Yinsen and charged at Grey, tackling him to the ground.
Yinsen looked confused as he saw the dragon faunus was holding the eye patch wearing cat faunus in a headlock. "Uh can you please tell me what's the raging reptile's deal is?" Yinsen asked.
"His name is Silver Redfox, my brother, he is too protective me for his own good" Silva said.
"Hey you spoke a full sentence to me" Yinsen said surprised from Silva's actions.
"Yeah, I'm more mortified of my brother to be shy right now, oh by the way my name is Silva Redfox" she said.
"Silver and Silva, wow your parents were creative with the names" Yinsen said.
"Oh and Yinsen is so creative" Silva retorted.
"Anyway we should stop him, before his anger attracts" Yinsen said as the ground started to shake "Too late" A giant black scorpion the size of a tank with bone armour on its face back and claws with a orange glowing tail burst out of the ground.
"Death stalker" Silva shouted as the giant scorpion screeched.
The death stalker thrusted it's claw at Yinsen and Silva jumped back before the claw collided with them when they landed Yinsen dug his fists into the ground then pulled daggers made out of pink crystals. "Great if things weren't complicated enough" Yinsen said.
"Hey give me your arm for a second" Silva said.
"What?" Yinsen said confused Silva sighed as she grabbed his arm, Yinsen then felt weird as he felt his aura reacting to her touch. As she let go it stopped "What did you do?" he said.
"You'll see," she said as she ran towards the death stalker, the death stalker lunged its claw at Silva but Silva blocked and before the attack collided, Silva arms became covered in pink diamonds just like Yinsen's semblance, Yinsen was surprised by what occurred, he then shook it off and threw his diamond daggers, the death stalker saw the attack coming and used it's claw to deflect the daggers this gave the perfect opportunity to run up to the death stalker's face and punch it in the face with her left arm and grab her sword with her right arm unsheathed it, and slashed it's face with a fire dust slash to it's face. It tried to retaliate by stabbing Silva with its stinger, Silva jumps back and landed near Yinsen.
"Care to explain how you got my semblance" Yinsen said.
"I can copy peoples' powers and abilities," Silva said. They turned their heads as the death stalker screeched as it began to charge, but before it could attack it got hit by lightning, Grey then slashed it on it's face in a flash, Grey then jumped on its back and slashed while running up it's tail, the death stalker tried to sting him but Grey dodged and used it as a vault and jumped off it landing near Yinsen and Silva.
"Hey ugly" the death stalker turned to see Silver who had rage in his eyes "My turn" Silver then stomped his foot the ground then the ground glowed red as it turned to magma, Silver raised his arm Silver raised his arm and created a tidal wave of molten magma ready to be slammed into the death stalker. The death stalker became overcome with fear and began running away from the four huntsmen in training, Silver was about to unleash the wave.
"SILVER STOP" Yinsen yelled to the silver dragon faunus.
"Why should I, the death stalker is getting away" Silver said.
"Yeah, the death stalker isn't our objective, it's finding the temple, besides the death stalker retreated if you attacked with that magma tidal wave you would destroy the death stalker but you could also attack any of our fellow school mates" Yinsen said.
Silver knew Yinsen was right "fine, guess you're right" he said as he put the wave down harmlessly and made it cool into a hardened black rock. "By the way how did you know my name?" He asked.
"You're sister told me, name's Yinsen Carnation" Yinsen said extending his hand.
"Silver Redfox" Silver said grabbing Yinsen's hand for a handshake.
"Well that's nice, my name is Grey Thunder and it is a pleasure meeting all of you, some more than others" he said winking at Silva who nervously blushed, this infuriated both Yinsen and Silver.
"Do that again and I let Silver use you as a weapon and slam you into the next grimm we find" Yinsen said.
"I like the sound of that" Silver said menacingly smiling.
"Hey I'm just joking, you know relieving the tension," Grey said sweating.
"Right anyway let's get a move on" Yinsen said as the four continued down their path.
On the cliff the students were launched Ozpin was staring at the forest Glenda walked up to him carrying electronic tablet or 'scroll', which showed footage of all the students in the forest "The last of the pairings have been formed sir, Nora Valkerie and Lie Ren, poor boy I can possibly imagine them getting along," She said sympathetically, "Still he's doing better than miss Nikos" this caused Ozpin to shift his attention to her " I don't care what his transcript said, that Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat, I guess we'll find out soon enough at their current rate they should reach the temple within a few minutes" she said walking away before her scroll started to beep. "Huh, it appears that two of our pairings formed an alliance, oh boy, It seems Silver and Silva Redfox, Yinsen Carnation and Grey Thunder have joined forces" Glynda said worried.
"You seem worried Glynda" Ozpin said.
"From Mister Redfox's file, he's apparently extremely overprotective of his sister, and with that Grey fellow around it will be one out of control spectacle, I just Mr Carnation straightens them out" Glynda said.
"Don't fret Glynda, yes as individuals they have their flaws and quirks, and they may seem unbalanced, however I believe they can bring the best out of each other" Ozpin said.
"Very well I will trust your judgment, by the way what did you use for relics this year? Professor Ozpin?" Glynda said, Ozpin just simply stared into the forest
"It's definitely this way," Weiss said walking to the right while Ruby was sitting down. "I mean this way… definitely this way," she said feeling uncertain and walked to the left she then walked back to Ruby still feeling uncertain. "Alright it's official we passed it" Weiss said.
"Why can't you admit we have no idea where we're going" Ruby said annoyed.
"Because I know exactly where we're going" she said with arrogance, "we're going to the forest temple"
"Ugh" Ruby huffed.
"Oh, stop it. "You don't know where we are either" Weiss retorted
"Well at least I'm not pretending like I know everything" Ruby accused
"What's that suppose to mean?" Weiss said offended.
"It means you're a big stupid jerk and I hate you" Ruby said like a child throwing a tantrum.
"Ugh Just keep moving" she said angrily storming off
"'Just keep moving, oh watch where your going, hurry up, Wah, watch where your going" Ruby said imitating Weiss "Why are you so bossy" Ruby said.
"I'm not Bossy" Weiss said turning around and approached her teammate "Don't say things like that" Weiss said.
"Stop treating me like a kid" Ruby yelled.
"Stop acting like a kid" Weiss yelled
"Stop acting like your perfect" Ruby yelled.
"I'm not perfect" Weiss said "not yet, but I'm still leagues better than you" Weiss added snidely as she walked away.
"You don't even know me" Ruby said depressed as she followed Weiss.
The death stalker Yinsen and company fought ran into a cave to find sanctuary, for the time it felt safe. Unbeknownst to it Jaune and Pyrrha were approaching the cave it currently resides. "You think this is it" Jaune said. The deathstlaker's ordeal was far from over.
Leonidas and Francesca kept walking through the forest, the air was still thick of tension from their first encounter "So any strategy to find the temple rather than walking aimlessly around this forest waiting to die" Francesca said annoyed.
"Indeed I do, if I were to get to the top of one of those tree and survey the area and find the temple" Leonidas said.
"Are you sure you can find it?" Francesca said skeptically.
"I am an archer, I have trained my eyes to see with utmost precision therefore spotting the temple will be child's play" Leonidas said as he used his semblance to teleport in a green flash and onto the tree branch and disappeared and reappeared on top of the tree he turned his head to search for the temple.
Francesca just looked at Leonidas with annoyance, his arrogant attitude and that she showed no respect for her was aggravating for her. Although as she looked downward from the tree and she saw six ursi starting to claw at the tree causing her eyes to widen. "Mierde" she said. "LEO" she warned.
"Could you please be qui-"Leonidas looked down to see the ursi he widened his eyes in surprise as he saw one of the ursas starting to climb the tree, he then drew his swords which looked like they had spinning shurikens inside the blade. Francesca wasted no time her hands glowed an orange aura, the earth began to shake as Francesca telekinetically extracted a huge stone from the ground and made it levitate in the air with her mind, then in a throwing motion of her arm she flung the huge stone at the ursa destroying a huge part of its body and part of the tree, the top began to fall, Leonidas was losing his balance before he teleported back onto the ground.
"I'd appreciate if you didn't get in my way" Leonidas said.
Francesca just groaned at him as the ursi charged at them, the two huntsmen got in their battle position, Francesca grabbed her silver and orange club pressed the button as the club extended into a staff then a spike erupted from the top and two one foot blades erupted out of the sides and then extended until it was 3 feet blades transformed into a battle axe with a black trigger on it.
"Say hello to 'Krakatoa' you Grimm puntas" Francesca said as she ran towards the grimm, one of the ursi swung at her with their claws, but Francesca jumped back this gave her the perfect opportunity to do and overhead chop with krakatoa and slam the battle axe into the ursa's face. She triumphantly smiles but another ursa roars, she stomps her foot and a pillar of earth erupts and launches the grimm into the air, Francesca then pointed her axe at in in midair she clicked the trigger and Krakatoa axe head split apart to reveal multiple small orange dust missiles inside it, she fires one of them and it hit the grimm making it being launched even higher before being enveloped in a orange explosion.
Leonidas swung his blades and a six green wind dust shurikens were shot from the swords, the shurikens were spinning so fast they went through one of the ursa's body as if they were paper. Another ursa was behind Leonidas and swung at him but in a green flash, Leonidas teleported behind the beast and with a quick slash of his sword separated the monster's head from its shoulders. The last ursa was standing all along it started to tremble the ursa turned and started to run, Francesca was about to run after it but Leonidas held his sword up to signify she should stop, "Don't bother he's mine" he said. he then joined the hilts of his two curved shuriken shooting katanas and a thread of green dust joined the two making the two swords into a bow, Leonidas grabbed a arrow from the quiver on his back, and in a quick motion pulled back the arrow on the bow then released making the arrow fly through the air and hit the ursa on the back, the ursa still ran for it's life.
"It's getting away," Francesca complained.
"Wait for it" Leonidas said and in a few seconds a small green light on the arrow started blinking before it and the ursa exploded on a green blast.
"Damn, I got to admit that is impressive" Francesca said.
"I fight using speed, efficiency and finesse, while you are crude and rely solely on brute force" Leonidas said. This caused Francesca to growl at him with anger. "However, I will admit it did get the job done" Leonidas said.
"Huh guess you can say something nice" Francesca said with a smile
"Don't push it, besides we have company" Leonidas said referring to the pack of beowolves running towards them. Leonidas and Francesca were in their battle ready pose but before the two forces could collide a huge stream of fire came out of nowhere incinerating the beowolves. They looked around their surrounding to see where the fire came from but then heard a rustling and out of the bushes emerged Iskandar.
Francesca smiled "Iskandar man not that I'm glad to see you but we had those beowolves under control" Francesca said.
"Sorry, didn't see you at the time and I couldn't help myself" Iskandar said. He then noticed Leonidas "So the ninja guy is your partner 'Leonidas' was it?" Iskandar said.
"Yes it was, and you are the huge dragon faunus Francesca tried to kill earlier" Leonidas said
"We're cool now, we sorted it all out" Iskandar said.
"So who's your partner?" Francesca asked.
"Hello" Naomi said peeking from behind Iskandar
"I am so sorry" Francesca said feeling pity for the dragon faunus.
"It's fine, she isn't as bad as you think" Iskandar said
"Hey might I say the way you fight is very sexy," Naomi said, Francesca just stared daggers at her
"You know what your partnership doesn't sound so bad now," Leonidas said to Francesca.
"Same here with you" Francesca said.
"Okay her personality may be a bit out there but she can be trusted in a fight" Iskandar said.
"Yeah, a girl can't joke around" Naomi said
"Anyway shall we join forces and find the temple," Iskandar said.
"Okay just know if Naomi tries anything I'm going to hurt her," Francesca said.
"Noted" Iskandar said.
"How about that cave over there" Naomi said pointing to an open cave with cave paintings on the side one of them was a lizard with three heads.
"Seems logical, Ozpin maybe wanted to hide the temple, let's go" Leonidas said activating a glow stick as he walked into the cave with Francesca following him.
"Why did you hit on them, I thought we had a heart to heart" Iskandar said.
"Yeah, but it's still fun to do" Naomi said as she give Iskandar a pat on the butt.
Iskandar sighed, "all right, just please try not to aggravate them," Iskandar said.
"Fine, I'll be good, for now" Naomi said as the two entered the cave and followed Francesca and Leonidas.
Iskandar was walking for what seemed like four minutes through the dark cave he created a flame in his hand so he could light the way for his friends, while Leonidas was holding a glow stick torch. The group was still searching for any relic, "Are you sure searching the cave was such a good idea?" Leonidas asked Naomi.
"Yeah I'm starting to agree with him, this seems like a dead end, by the way Iskandar you have wings, why didn't you fly to find the temple?" Francesca asked.
"I could have, but if I did I wouldn't get the chance to fight any grimm that I came across, I like to have fun when I fight" Iskandar said.
"Sorry guys this seemed like a good idea at the time" Naomi said.
"Don't worry were not mad at you, you were only trying to help" Francesca said.
"To be fair, you contributed more than a certain angry gamer girl I know" Leonidas said.
"HEY, if it wasn't for me you would Ursa food asshole" Francesca said as she shoved him causing him to drop the glow stick.
"Oh great, now we have lost half our lighting you idiot" Leonidas said angrily as she shoved her back. The two then started to grapple and push each other as they began to fight like children.
"Hey stop that you two, we are trying to find a relic and your bickering is getting us no where" Iskandar said.
"Yeah have to agree this is more annoying than sexy," Naomi said.
The fight started to escalate, Iskandar got closer to try to break them up but Francesca was pushed into him, he lost his footing and fell to the ground, the fire extinguished as he hit the ground. "Oh great now we have no light, good going Francesca" Leonidas yelled.
"HEY, you started it you arrogant asshole," Francesca yelled.
"THAT IS ENOUGH" Iskandar roared. "I don't care who started it I'm finishing it, I'm not going to let your bickering jeopardize our objective, now swallow your pride and lets find that relic" Iskandar said.
"Fine" Francesca said.
"Agreed" Leonidas said. Leonidas then grabbed something soft and spongy, "Hey guys I think I found the relic, I think it's some soft and spongy rock," he said.
"Naomi let go of my boob" Francesca screamed.
"I'm not touching your boob, I don't even know where those beautiful things are" Naomi said but as they were talking they all saw something, a glowing orange crystal in the shape of a diamond in the distance.
"Is that the relic?" Francesca asked.
"I don't care if it is I'm going to pawn it for big bucks" Naomi said as she eagerly ran towards the gem grabbed it and tried to move it but it wouldn't budge.
"Naomi, wait" Iskandar said before turning to Leonidas and Francesca "Also Leonidas I would let go of that 'rock if I were you" Iskandar said.
"Why so you can claim the relic for yourself" Leonidas said accusingly.
"Okay I warned you" Iskandar said creating another fireball in his hand for everyone to see, Leonidas looked at the rock but upon seeing it he realised he accidentally groping Francesca, she growled at him before giving a quick punch to the face sending him crashing to the floor.
Iskandar looked at Naomi tugging on the gem, the fire glowing showed the white armour attached to the orange glowing gem, Naomi stopped tugging on the gem then two menacing red eyes opened up above her. Iskandar enlarged the flame the four huntsmen saw a giant lizard like creature with a long neck with a white bone armour plate on its chest with spikes on the edges, on the center of the plate was the giant orange diamond Naomi had her hands on. It opened to reveal its mouth was full of fangs, its head had another plate on its forehead with spines on the back of its head and down its spine. "HYDRAVOC" Iskandar yelled.
The hydravoc screeched as it's mouth began to glow as it pulled its head back then breathed as stream of fire at Naomi but the stream of fire stopped before it could hit Naomi, Iskandar was holding out both his arms up, he was using his pyrokinesis to prevent the fires from scorching his teammates, Leonidas was firing lighting and wind dust arrows at the grimm but it only infuriated it. Francesca saw a flat stone and thought of an idea, she jumped on it and used her geokinesis to make the stone skate across the cavern floor while the Hydravoc was busy trying to burn her friends, she approached the grimm from the side, she jumped wielding her axe, with a battle cry she swung Krakatoa and sliced the hydravoc's head clean off. The head and body dropped to the ground and Francesca landed on the corpses' with a triumphant smile as the head began to disintegrate. "Oh yeah, boss level cleared, your welcome" Francesca said.
Leonidas looked up at the display "I must admit, that was impressive" Leonidas said.
"Something is up, why did the head disintegrate and not the body?" Iskandar said. He then saw the orange crystal on its chest beginning to glow as the corpse started to get up "FRANCESCA GET OUT OF THERE" he yelled the Hydravocs body began to grow two new heads where the first one was which turned to face Francesca, they lunged at the axe wielding gamer girl but before the attack could collide both heads got hit by two streams of fire. Leonidas used this opening to teleport to Francesca's side, grab hold of her arm then teleport the both of them in a green flash back to Iskandar and Naomi.
"Thanks, I'll be honest didn't expect this punta to regenerate" Francesca said to Leonidas.
"Don't thank me yet," Leonidas said as the two looked head on at the two headed hydravoc.
"I have an idea, cover your ears" Naomi said.
"I swear to god if this is some sort of sex thing" Francesca said.
"Just do it" Naomi ordered, everyone did what she said and covered their ears, Naomi then looked the beast dead in the eye, took a deep breath then began to scream releasing a sonic blast from her mouth, the hydravoc roared in pain, Iskandar heard the sonic frequency and winced in pain. The entire cavern began to rumble it was about to collapse.
"Everyone fall back" Iskandar ordered the four began to make a run for the cave mouth. The Hydravoc ran after them, Francesca turned her head and saw the hydravoc closing in, as they were about to exit. Francesca stomped her feet and used her semblance to cause the roof of the cave collapsed on top of the hydra grimm. The team got out of the cave with a huge explosion of dust behind them they looked to see a pile of rubble where the cave use to be.
"Good idea with using that sonic scream semblance, Naomi" Iskandar complemented his blue haired companion.
"Thank you" Naomi said.
"Just give me more warning next time, it is killer on my ears" Iskandar said.
Francesca was sitting down on a stone; Leonidas was staring at her, took a deep breath and walked up to her "Can I talk to you?" Leonidas said.
"Why are you going to lecture me on how my fighting style lacks finesse, or cop another feel" Francesca said agitated.
"I'm sorry I couldn't see and I didn't know I was touching you, and also I'm sorry about how I was acting, I was not fair to you, you were actually making an effort to cooperate and I've haven't been the best partner to you, I know you were only trying to help me when those ursi climbed the tree but brushed your kind gesture off. I'll be honest I never been one to be friendly, the only one I was ever close to was my sensei, so if you let me I would really like to try and be a better partner to you" Leonidas said sincerely.
Francesca looked at him with sympathetic eyes, "Well what you just did is a step in the right direction, so I'd be honored, just don't act all uptight and what not" she said with a smile.
"I'll try my best," he said with a smile.
Iskandar and Naomi saw what transpired between Francesca and Leonidas and smiled "You know all four of us make quite a team" Iskandar said.
Naomi looked at Iskandar "Yeah we really kicked ass" she said before turning her attention back to Leonidas and Francesca "So how much money do you want to bet those two start boning at one point" she said with a perverted smile.
"Let's not get that far just yet" Iskandar chuckled. The group then heard a screech as they saw a giant nevermore fly over them with what appeared to be two girls clinging to its wings.
"Is this just me or did I just see that Schnee girl and a girl wearing a red cape on that nevermore" Leonidas said seeing it with his incredible eyesight.
What Leonidas said caught Iskandar's attention "Wait, red cape? Ruby!" Iskandar said worried. "Okay new plan follow that nevermore," he said walking to Leonidas and Francesca and picking the both of them up each with one arm.
"Wait what?" Francesca said confused.
"You can't be serious" Leonidas said agreeing with his teammate
"Naomi get on my back" Iskandar ordered.
"With pleasure" Naomi said enthusiastic as she ran over and hugged Iskandar's back as Iskandar spread his wings.
"Wait can't we talk about thIIIIIIIISSSSS" Francesca screamed as Iskandar took off starting to soar after the nevermore, carrying his teammates. As they flew after Ruby and Weiss, the rubble that use to be the cave started to shake as a huge black claw burst out from it.
