So this'll be a pretty cool thing to rewrite.
Felt like I could do better here, ya know?
That night
It's night time currently, everyone else is asleep including Haruko. I know this since... well, she's a bit of a heavy sleeper, plus she really likes waffles. Heh... I should make some for her tomorrow after I do this.
Regardless, I'm still awake and I think of a plan as I head out the window and go into the forest. I use the map to track the location where the Grimm is at while developing some spells, I know this quest will help me level up and get some new skills.
I learned some spells such as Flare and Protect, which is pretty good. After a little bit, I find the location where it's at... the area it is in a cave. A very long one at that, I walk in soon after.
The walls of the cave are surprisingly smooth, it's easy for me to look around since I have night vision.
I hear a low growl, I draw my sword after I see a giant Grimm walk towards me and then stop.
"Alright, let's do this." I say
[Name: Salem's Shield]
|LVL: 17|
|HP: 1000/1000|
|STR: 35|
|DEF: 35|

|Description: A Grimm that was made to protect Salem many ages ago when someone that could possibly kill her would arise, this thing is starting to come back as it found out about one that could kill her... IE you.|
The Grimm then continues to walk towards me, as I stand there, waiting for it to attack as we both stare in the eyes of each other with a glare.
I then hear a gasp, I look behind me to see Haruko looking at me with fear, Yang with anger, and Ruby looking at me with shock.
Dammit, this wasn't supposed to happen, this wasn't the plan... then again, not all of my plans will go well.
But still, I do kind of have a right to be pissed as people following me to a dangerous place.
"Guys run!" I yell
We all start to run out of the cave, I didn't notice we were this far in the cave till now. We reach the entrance soon after a full minute of running.
They stop running after I stay near the entrance, Yang looks at me angrily.
"Come on!" She yells
"I can't." I say looking back in the cave
"Why?! Why won't you run from this?!" Yang asks angerly
I sigh heavily and give her a glance, a serious glint in my eyes.
"Because this thing might come after us and kill everyone in Patch, I heard a rumor about this thing and decided to kill it to protect people I care about." I say
"Protect what people you care about?!" Yang asks incredulously
I then sigh annoyed and roll my eyes slightly.
"You guys are the people I care about, I mean come on! Wouldn't I be a pretty bad guy if I let this thing, go out a kill everyone" I yell
Haruko and Ruby then look at me in shock, guess they didn't expect for me to care for them this much... heh, reminds me a lot of my sister in a kind of weird way.
Yang looks at me angerly, probably because I won't back down from this. I don't blame her... I'd be angry at what I was doing, but I don't have a choice but to fight this thing, now do I?
"You aren't prepared for this!" Yang yells
I turn away from her and draw my sword.
"...Simply watch Yang." I say
I steel myself and hold the blade with both of my hands, my eyes grow cold as energy crackles throughout my body. Readying various spells and abilities all to defeat this Grimm in front of me.
I know this thing is dangerous and I could handle it with little problem but it might be harder since people are here.
I'll have to use all of my power to protect them from danger, I aim my palm at it with dark flames appearing on it.
Play Final Fantasy X: Enemy Attack
"Flare!" I yell out
Black flames go out of my hand and hit the Grimm with small flames going off it, it then begins to charge at me.
I then put his hands out, he closes my eyes as I focus on casting a barrier.
I then open them to see that the Grimm clawing a green barrier around me, this causes me to smirk soon after.
Perfect.
I push it away from me using all of the strength I could muster in my tiny child body, my Aura had projected outward and sent the creature flying slightly. It seems I can project my Aura now.
[New Skill unlocked!]
|Aura Blast: Allows you to cast your Aura forth and sent things flying or just do some damage, costs 12 AP|
That skill... well I guess it helped me in stopping it from tearing me limb from limb and getting past me to then tear more people limb from limb, so that was nice to have in my arsenal.
'Alright, time to use that new Offensive Skill I got before this... thank you Gamer for this ability.' I thought to myself with confidence
I then turn my sword into a gun and aims it at the Grimm, I smirk as I think of the perfect one-liner to use for this situation.
I always do think of one-liners, just to be funny and be sort of a typical action star... don't judge me, I have a lot wants and needs too ya know?
"Looks like it's a Grimm time for you, Flare Shot." I say with a cool attitude
My gun then fires and hits the Grimm dead on, it then lies their dead on the ground as it begins to disintegrate like all Grimm.
I then turn around and smile at the group, transforming my gun back into a sword and stabbing it into the ground.
|Music End|
I'm kind of awesome sometimes... thank god for The Gamer ability.
Make badasses since... whenever the comic came out.
|Quest Complete!|
|Rewards Gained|
|Bonus Objective 1 Succeded: Make sure that the others aren't in danger|
"See, I told you I got this and I protected you." I say happily
Yang smiles along with Ruby and Haruko, I really do care about them that much was obvious.
...I just now realize I overexerted myself.
There's a thing about using Magic, if I use up all my MP (which I did) then my health starts to factor in, if I use a bit of my health I gain a status known as Mana Sickness where I start to lose a bit of health each time I use Magic, this stacks I mind you.
Too much Magic being used and I can die.
I start to kneel a bit and cough a little bit of blood out as my vision blurs.
"Aaron!" Yang, Ruby, and Haruko say all at once
I hear them run over and they help me up, I look at them and smile.
I don't need to concern them with my health... not yet anyway.
"Well, crap. Must have overdone it with that last attack, took a little bit out of me." I say
My vision fades and I then pass out.
Yang's P.O.V
I pick him up and then begin carries him in her arms out of the cave. He's pretty light but he does have some muscle... what has he been doing when we were not looking?
I noticed Ruby looks at his face with a small blush, I look over and... Aaron is smiling in his sleep.
Haruko looks over at him and lightly shrugs.
"Even asleep he's a big old goofball." She says
"Yep, he is." I say fondly
I hear a raven cry and fly away, I can just feel the moon shine down on us as we go back home.
I climb in the window that we followed Aaron out of, he's still asleep after what happened which meant that he used his Semblance too much. That happens from what I've heard.
I place him into his bed as Haruko and Ruby looked over him, I smirk slightly.
"So we are his family huh." I say
"Yeah, he really does care about us." Ruby says simply
"Well, when I met him. He was a pretty chill guy, mature also. Yet in this case, he's just a big old goofball." Haruko says
Me, Ruby, and Haruko all yawn. We were up looking for Aaron for a little while, and it was past our bedtime.
Time to get some rest... it's been a long night.
"We should head to bed." I say
Ruby and Haruko nod, we all head to our rooms without a second thought.
Aaron's P.O.V
I look around this grassy landscape, I look in the distance to see Cinder with a weapon about to kill Amber again.
I try to run towards them, but I can't move... dammit why can't I move!
Cinder then kills than kills Amber and cackles, as number appears in front of me.
Then a message, this was weird... and it's starting to terrify me
Look where the Emerald lies,
and their Amber will die.
After the Crow shall land, the king shall see you at seven fourty-five.
I then wake up in silent horror, I was sweating cold beads. My heart was pounding as I began to realize where I was... my body was in overdrive as of right now.
A common effect of nightmares and near-death experiences.
I look out the window, it's still night. I look back down, I'm still in my pajamas's and I gained some more EXP from killing that Grimm.
That message, it must mean that Cinder will be in the forest at 7:45 when I met Ozpin. But that isn't supposed to happen till... oh.
...Dammit, GOD FUCKING DAMMIT! OF COURSE SALEM WOULD NOTICE! OF COURSE THIS WOULD HAPPEN NOW! DAMN THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT! DAMN IT TO HELL!
I get up and mark it on my calendar in the Hacker's Gauntlet, the exact time that I was told in... I don't even know what to call it.
I then walk back to bed and head to dreamless sleep, hopefully.
|Check your Stats|
'Okay... why?'
|Trust me on this|
I check my Stat's and find that nothing is out of the ordinary except for... Ability Points?
Wait... what even is?... I have so many questions right now.
'Chronos, what the hell is this?'
|You've got Skill points from killing that thing, congrats. You'll understand them later|
I want to respond but... I'm too tired to give a shit considering I just fought a Grimm and had a terrible prophetic nightmare,
I decided just to sleep and think about this later, I have a lot more things to focus on right now.
I did look at the new title.
