So here we are with chapter 6. With work and everything i feel really bad about the quality of the content of ch 5. But hey it's still all new to me. So without further ado let's begin.
With the coming weeks after the incident, Team RWBYM finally started to realize the potential they have. Coming up as one of the top 3 first year teams followed closely by Team JNPR having their last match ending with Michael and Yang winning after holding out their own against Pyrrha and Nora with Michael and Nora's Aura holding in the mid 30's, Pyrrha's in the low 40's and Yang still holding out at the mid 50's. Goodwitch never announced if the matches were 1v1, pairs, teams or one person against a whole team leaving everyone either excited or worried.
" Alight everyone pay attention, i'm starting the next match," Goodwitch announced.
Everyone waited with baited breath to see who what the matchup is. The screen beeped revealing the photo of Michael Saintonly. Another beep revealed his opponents… Team CRDL.
" Oh Boy," MIchael sighed, " just my luck I guess."
" Will both competitors please approached the arena."
As they approached Michael could hear Cardin saying how he isn't gonna last 5 minutes. What they don't know is the few tricks he has accumulated in the last few weeks, Michael with the help of Ruby and Weiss, he was able to fabricate 2 daggers with dust capability and a rapier transformation. The way it functions with dust is a lot of how myrtenaster works but instead of filling it with dust vials you would fill tubes slightly smaller than the handle and then open the chamber located at the pommel. For the moment he only used fire, ice, lightning, and earth dust which he keep at his belt.
" So you gonna give up now or are you gonna take a beating, " went Team CRDL's boisterous leader cardin.
" you wished, you punks," Michael leered.
" Fighters at the ready and BEGIN!"
Neither side made a move only movement was Michael getting daggers prepared with ice and lightning dust. Finally with a burst of speed Michael to took a open palm attack to Sky Lark causing him to fly and hit a wall a small beep altered him that he was KOed.
" Now what was that about me taking a beating," Michael said turning back to the team.
Pissed is how MIchael like CRDL just because their attacks were always predictable dodging all their attacks, Michael pulled out the daggers crackling with electricity and ice. With a flick of his wrists the blades extended to rapier for and he then combined the rapiers michael jumped and using his wings to hover he summoned a glyph and placed the weapon used the glyph as a slingshot as he pulls back he called out "Freeze Shock" as he fired the weapon from the glyph the weapon with streaks of ice and electricity and it exploded leaving Dove Bronzewing and Russel Thrush out of commision. Cardin pissed broke one of Russel dust daggers and took the dust crystal and channeled his Aura and threw at Michael
" Shit," Michael said as he used his ice magic to make a dome and cover the crystal and channeled his own Aura as the Crystal exploded and launched MIchael into the air and landed onto the arena floor.
"MICHAEL," yelled the rest of his team and JNPR.
" Ha, guy can't even back up his boast and he thought we were pathetic." Cardin laughed.
Michael struggled to get up and looked at the time " only a few minutes huh, shit i'll have to use That won't I, well I've got no choice," he thought.
Cardin saw him getting up, " what you haven't learn your lesson you weak excuse for a Huntsman."
Michael steadied himself and his eyes glowed red tilting to his head him and with a Shout screamed " MUL QAH DIIV!". After the last word he gained transparent armor and the4 injuries he sustained look like they healed. Michael drew gemini and combined the handles and spun the weapon around and when he stopped the blades were out. With a deep breath he shot forward with another burst of speed he hooked Cardin with his scythe and spun him around and launched him like a ragdoll. Cardin hit the wall and was KOed due to the impact. After the fight was declared a win to Michael the Armor dissipated and MIchael almost lost consciousness. His team rushed to him and Yang propped him up with her arm.
"MIchael are you okay," Weiss said slightly frantic.
" Hey did you guys get the plate number of the car that hit me," Michael said dazed and confused.
" No you were dumb and got yourself exploded and almost lost," Weiss went laugh a little.
" Dude that was badass what was with the shout near the end," Yang said impressed with her teammate
" I promise to tell you guys later, right now I think a trip to the infirmary in in order." Michael chuckled.
" Agreed."
The last few hours entailed of Michael being treated for Aura depletion and the wounds that seem to have vanished reappeared.
" For the time being I'm restricting you to only light activities and no flying longer than one hour with a period of 1 to 2 hours of rest," instructed Velvet Scarlatina, a rabbit faunus who was student doctor and a really amazing one at that.
"Ok Doc will do, so no sparring, lifting heavy weight or doing anything that Yang gets involved in.."
" Haha, yeah right on that but, really take it easy for a while, just don't overdo it okay,"
" Alright Velvet."
" Want me to send in the rest of your team."
" Yeah, I want to see them."
" Alright," Velvet opened the door, " You can come in."
" Hey, What's up Doc," asked Yang, while Weiss and Blake sighed,
" Is this usual with Yang," asked Velvet
" I'd be lying if I said it wasn't."
The group talked for awhile, when Michael remembered something.
"Hey can I get a moment with Weiss."
" Okay, C'mon guys let's give the lovebirds some alone time," Yang ordered.
" We're not lovebird you idiot," Weiss said as she started to get flustered and they left leaving the Heiress and her injured partner alone.
(Warning I'm bad at anything that deals with romance so bear with me)
" So….Um what did you want to talk about Michael," Weiss asked timidly.
" Alright no BS, you and me Weiss, we have feelings for each other" Weiss just gaped at him, " you know it's true," Weiss hung her head saying "you're right," " Weiss can you help me up?"
" I'm not helping you out of bed while you still hurt."
" No, not out of bed just to sit up in the bed, ok?"
"Oh ok."
As Weiss helps him up Michael pulls her towards him and he kisses her. Weiss filinches to begin with and she starts to relax into the kiss. As they kissed Michael pulls her in closer and he takes notice of the scent that surrounds here mostly a crisp mint smell that must've came from her shampoo. And her lips tasted like vanilla. Weiss took the smells that came from Michael, she took notice of a metallic smell that coated him but it was subtle. Yang bust down the door much to her sister and her partner's dismay.
" Hey you two you down talking or…what," Yang trailed off seeing the two in a embrace with horrified looks, "Oh My God, you two making out weren't you
" Yes."
" No," Weiss said at the same time.
"Weiss you're a bad liar," said Yang
" Yang next time could you please not break the door to my patients room. Also Michael you can leave whenever you are ready," Velvet said.
" Alright, thanks Velvet."
The team leave the infirmary with Michael in tow. As the team makes it towards their dorm they ran into Team JNPR who asked if he was doing alright and were glad when they saw that he was doing great. They made it back to the dorm and when they went in Michael summoned a glyph to make sure nobody can listen on the coming conversation. He has been dreading having this one, but it wasn't the explanation of the Shout ability that concerned him, it was revealing his true self or his heritage that was making him scared. For the first time in a long while he has been fearful of revealing the truth.
" Okay guys I promised you an explanation, I just don't know where to start."
" How about you start with this amazing shouting ability you have," Yang said curious how he had that much raw power.
" That's the thing though I just can't start there, I must start from the beginning."
" Alright sounds sensible," Blake said wanting to know more about her own teammate.
" Okay here we go," he hesitated but he continued, " Weiss already know this but I come from a royal," Yang was about to speak but Michael raised his hand to stop her and she nodded allowing him to continue, "where as Weiss is a Heiress, someone who has riches and property given to her after a certain point, I am a Prince, someone who is born to their riches and power at a early age."
" Wait what," everyone but Michael and Weiss asked shocked.
" Yes I know surprising but what I haven't told you is where I hail from," Michael started but he started to freak out a little due to fact he was about to reveal the biggest secret he has every kept from anyone. Weiss went over and gave him a quick hug and his hand a quick squeeze letting him know he will be fine, he took a deep breath and exhaled and pulled out his scroll and and went to a picture of him and his aunt in equestrian form, " Can tell me what you see here," Michael asked them showing the picture.
" Looks like two horses both with wings and horns," Yang spoke out, "But why are you asking us?"
" Well I know it sounds ridiculous but he one with the orange coat that actually me."
" No way, you've got to be joking Michael, there is an obvious difference your not part horse faunus," Yang asked now puzzle.
" Your right I'm not when someone opens a portal between my homeland of equestria and any dimension that contains humans or humanoids our forms change accordingly and we look human except we still are able to tap into our equestrian magic and anyone with wings when they crossover they still have them, although it's not the same when foreigners crossover to equestria their form would change into a horse base and then any additions like wings or horns would appear to best fit the person's human traits."
" So let me get this straight you a horse prince from another dimensions," Weiss spoke up shocked that the person she is falling for has keep a secret this huge.
" Well the term we use back home is pony but it's all the same to me."
" Still why did you keep this from us, we're team right you should be able to tell us anything."
" Weiss I still don't really get it but if Michael was willing to confine in us with this big of secret,well don't that mean he trust us a lot," Ruby spoke up trying to keep some kind of order
" I guess your right, Michael can you continue."
" Well back home well have 3 Pony subraces, there are the earth pony hearty and strong they are usually you're farmers and heavy lifters, then there are the unicorns wielders of magic and posees a very high intelligence, they are mostly your court wizards and college personal, then the pegasi who are fast and agile , they take care of the weather in equestria, all three of the subraces can also be found in the royal army, lastly there are the rare ones who one the traits of all three, these are referred to as alicorns and they are the royalty that the ponies look up too, there are only four known alicorns, Me, my sister Cadence and my aunts Celestia and Luna, and each alicorn encompaases a certain sphere of control of something, Celestia is Princess of the Sun who raises the sun and the moon after Luna was banished , Luna Princess of the Moon who was blinded by jealousy sent equestria into eternal darkness until her sister banished her to the moon for a 1000 years, my sister is known as Princess of Love, who is able to heal couple rifts, and lastly there is me Prince of Forging and Combat."
" this is still a lot of info to take in Michael, but I'm guessing Michael isn't you true name is it," Blake said knowing that she was right.
" Yes Blake your right, Michael Saintonly was a pseudonym I created in order to draw less attention, my true name is Flame Hammer and the symbol that i have is actually my Cutie Mark."
" Cutie…. Mark?"
" Yes, every pony regardless of race as a child will earn this mark by finding their natural talent, mine is a hammer in fire symbolizing my talent of combat and weapon making, Cadence is a crystal heart, Celestia is a sun and Luna was a moon."
" Is that everything that you told us about yourself," Yang spoke up.
" Well the Shout still needs to be explained."
" FInally, we can talk about the badassery."
" Anyway the Shout or Thu'um is a group a three words spoken in dragon tongue, usually it takes months for a normal person to learn one Shout, I however took trips to the Dragonlands back home and me and the ruler have respect for each other, so in return for learning the Thu'um I help them hunt for gems, which is what a dragon's diet consist of, but i digress when you learn a word to a shout you can use it but it's not as powerful as the full shout, normally people learn words of power by meditation, or having the knowledge passed down to them, then there the rare case in where the person is mortal but they have the soul of a dragon these are able to read words of power from word walls and they are able to absorb the souls of recent dead dragons they are known as Dovahkiin or Dragonborn well I'm not one of them, I learn from a combination of meditation and having the knowledge passed down to me."
" So how many shouts do you have in your arsenal?"
" I have 9 shouts I've learn fully, they are; Unrelenting Force, Whirlwind Sprint, Fire Breath, Dismay, Disarm, Clear Skies, Throw Voice, Dragon Aspect and Elemental Fury."
" So can anyone learn these shouts?"
" Yes but it take a long time to master the mechanics of the Thu'um , but it isn't impossible."
" Cool, it's getting late and there has been a lot of secret reveals tonight so let's get to bed," announced standing up and stretching and wnet to get ready to bed.
" Alright," Michael turned to Weiss and said, " I'll understand if you don't want to be with me, I mean I've lied to all of you and I'm sorry."
" What the in the world are you talking about of course I want to be with you even with the lie and well that doesn't matter, what matters is that you mustered the courage to reveal this secret and that makes you even more incredible," Weiss said and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and went to get ready, " hey where would you sleep during the night?"
" Oh, in the bathtub," Michael said like it was normal.
" You're kidding, right?"
" Nope."
" Well your not anymore, you sleeping with me, but only because you need a proper place to sleep so you can properly recover," Weiss ordered.
" Alright, whatever you say Princess."
After that everyone got ready for bed as Weiss fell asleep she snuggled up to Michael and he smiled happy that everything worked out for the best.
( End of Chapter)
Wow it took me about a week and a half to do this chapter and this one is one of the longest ones I've done and I didn't think it would be good to hang on a cliffhanger. Anyway so that was Chapter 6 and secrets have been revealed. I'll be going to be taking some well deserved time off of work, and me and my family are going down to Florida to watch my sister softball team play, so hopefully I can work on Chapter 7. So until next time, thanks for reading and I'll see you in the next chapter.
