Apologies!
For the lack of updates, I mean.
Real life has been a bitch and a half again, so I didn't really get to writing.
"For want of a knight" is gonna resume next week, with the update planned for today.
This time will be something that may be has been done before, but not in the way I am gonna write it. It will be short, but funny.
I hope.
After that, well…
You will see.
I praise whoever made the transcript. There was only a little editorial work left for me.

The strange library
Chapter 2: legendary battle
The teachers had arrived
"What is the meaning of this?" Glynda Goodwitch asked, intrigued by the room. "This was not here before."
"Outstanding!" Oobleck zipped through the room. "These walls are decked with fine velvet. And this large shelf! How was this set up overnight, I must ask?"
Ozpin looked around, an eyebrow raised in intrigue. "I, frankly, do not have a clue."
Port was his usual jovial self and the first one to notice the students in the seats. "Well I'll be! Hello, students! Do you perchance know what this is?"
Weiss elected herself to explain. "We have discovered this room by chance, professors." The adults listened to her intently. "This seems to be a cinema room of sorts."
"It's multiversal cinema!" shouted the Valkyrie.
"I was getting to that, Nora!" Weiss chastised the excitable sloth lover. At the curious looks of the men and the disbelieving of Miss Goodwitch, she continued, "But yes. This shelf you see here seems to hold a variety of videos that seem to be of that nature, showing us different versions of our counterparts."
"Fearless Leader destroyed Vale by running backwards in the first one!"
And there it was. Intrigue on Oobleck's face, curiosity and bafflement on Ozpin and Port's and visible confusion for Goodwitch.
"But how-"
"And we learned that Nep is not allowed near balls anymore."
"Sun, that was the other me! Didn't you pay attention?"
"Doesn't change the fact that you gave Port an indent in the skull with a soccer ball."
Now Port was surprised. "What? Ridiculous! Such a flimsy little thing cannot bbreach my manly countenance!"
"We all saw it though," Ruby interjected somewhat bashfully, ignoring a mischievous Yang creeping towards the monitor with a mission, silently cheered on by Yats who really wanted to see that particular movie.
Yang as well 'cause woo, fighting!
"And you say that Mr Arc has managed to destroy Vale by..." Glynda could not finish the sentence; it was just too absurd.
"As odd as it sounds," Velvet chimed in. "But the multiverse thing is the only explanation as it featured all of us with none of us having a memory of recording these."
"Plus, there is too many of them for it to be a coinkydink!" Yang piped up just as she inserted the DVD. "Now sit down, everyone! Next one is starting!"
"Hey!" Nora yelled out. "How dare you make that decision on the fly like that!"
"So did you Nora," Ren noted. "It was only fair." The ginger conceded the point.
The teachers made their way to the seating area. "This is still so outlandish, Ozpin," she whispered to the headmaster, who replied: "There are phenomena in this world that cannot be explained with science, Glynda. Let us enjoy this experience. We do not have any real work today, aynway."
"We have loads of paperwork."
"Are you making the tax returns ahead of schedule again?"
"That was one time!"
"Hush, please," Pyrrha shushed everyone. "It's starting."
At the top of the stairs outside the Hall of Warriors, a beautiful building lined with brilliant Jade, Glynda Goodwitch, a Red Panda faunus, looked upon the valley, awaiting her fate.
"Ooh, you are a faunus in this one, Professor Goodwitch!" Nora chimed. "That confirms the multiverse theory," stated Oobleck. "Fascinating, truly fascinating!" "And look at the palace she stands in front of!" Coco yelled out. "All that Jade! It goes really well with the Mistrali aesthetic." Yatsu and Ren silently appreciated the masonry of the palace.
In the valley below, the lights from the evacuation made their way out of the valley. In a blink of Glynda's eyes, Adam Taurus, a snow leopard faunus, appeared before her.
"Adam," Blake gasped. "You know him?" Yang asked. "He was my mentor and...friend." "Sure, 'friend'." "Yang, we had a falling out!" hissed the ninja. "Right, not funny. Sorry." "It seems the villagers are fleeing because of him," Ozpin pointed out. "This raises cause for concern." "Why is he a leopard faunus though? He is a bull faunus," Blake explained before clamping her mouth shut. Had she said too much?
Adam slightly bowed before her. "I have come home... Master."
"Master?!"
Ren spoke up. "It seems as Miss Goodwitch was the one to instruct him in the martial arts. Such a gesture and address are reserved for such a relationship."
Glynda blinked at the explanation but nodded. "So I seem to be a close-quarters fighter here."
"Could this potentially mean that there are no semblances and aura here?" Oobleck was spitballing.
"How did you come up with that, Barty?" Peter inquired.
"The multiverse," the doctor replied, as if the word alone was enough of an answer. Then he iterated: "Anything is possible within the multiverse. Evil versions of us..."
"Talking Grimm," Coco threw in.
"Odd marriages?" Velvet supplied.
"Like what?" That had caught Ruby's attention.
"Shush!" Yang wanted to watch.
"This is no longer your home. And I am no longer your master," she returned with a harsh tone.
"Wait what?" Yang, Weiss, Ruby and Velvet asked out loud.
"She ousted him," Yatsu explained now. "He did something that was intolerable and Miss Goodwitch abandoned him as a master."
Glynda looked on in mounting curiosity and worry, wanting to know about that event.
Adam gave her a cruel grin. "Yes. You have a new favorite. So where is this... Jaune?" He chuckled. "Did I scare him off?"
"Vomit Boy being Miss Goodwitch's favorite?" Yang questioned in disbelief. "Yeah right, pull the other one."
The teacher was having none of that. "And what do you mean by that, Miss Xiao Long?"
"Don't get us wrong," Pyrrha replied instead. "But it seems at times that you have it out for him."
The woman looked genuinely surprised, offended even. "I...what? Do you think so?"
Several nods were her reply. Glynda sighed.
"Mister Arc may not be my best student, but he is among my favorites," she declared, blindsiding the students. "Out of everyone, he is the only one who truly listens to my advice at every lecture. He has the most drive to learn, to truly learn." 'Perhaps because of his transcripts,' she left unsaid.
"This battle is between you and me."Her face was the usual stern visage, yet with a hint of resignation.
"So..." The cruel leopard paused to turn his back to her. "That is how it's going to be?"
"That is how it must be." She put herself in a kung fu position; one leg behind her and the staff ready.
The atmosphere in the theater was tense. No one dared to speak during the teacher and the student facing off one last time.
Adam looked back at her... and then attacked. The two battled, punch for punch, attack against defense. Adam punched Glynda clean through the doors of the Jade Palace. She recovered herself quickly and faced her former student. Adam entered, his face a mask of pure fury. A faint memory briefly flashed before her eyes. One of a baby snow leopard, abandoned before the gates.
The watchers were shocked. "What was that?" Sun wanted to know, as did Glynda herself.
Adam roared: "I rotted in jail for twenty years because of your weakness!"
"Twenty?!"
"Obeying your master is not weakness!" She remembered now the moment when she discovered his vast talent for martial arts.
"You knew I was the Dragon Warrior! You always knew..."
The scene dissolves to a Flashback. In the Hall of Warriors, Glynda presents Adam to Master Ozpin, the wise and immeasurably old tortoise faunus, the pride evident on both their faces Both a slightly younger student and master look expectant. Ozpin gives Glynda a look. She is dismayed now, suddenly realizing her master's decision.
"It fits that Ozpin is a Tortoise," giggled Ruby. "He is wise and also kinda old."
"Thanks," the headmaster replied sardonically, even if such comments had stopped bothering him long ago.
"But, when Ozpin said otherwise, what did you do? What did you do?!"
She is at a loss for words, trying to console her son, but...
"NOTHING!" Adam was the very picture of furious.
"You adopted him as your own," Yang finally realized.
"You raised him," Blake continued. "Trained him. Filled him with pride."
"A grave mistake," noted Ren grimly.
"You were not meant to be the Dragon Warrior!" Glynda shouted back, attempting to save what was left of the child she once adopted as her own. "That was not my fault!"
"NOT YOUR FAULT?!" the pretender roared as he pointed at her. Enraged, Adam knocks over the kung fu artifacts and throws them at Glynda.
"WHO FILLED MY HEAD WITH DREAMS?! WHO DROVE ME TO TRAIN UNTIL MY BONES CRACKED?! WHO DENIED ME MY DESTINY?!"
"Entitlement," grumbled Coco. "The bane of the talented. If you get your achievements handed on a silver platter then you tend to feel entitled to things."
"Astutely observed, Miss Adel," Port praised. "It is the reason why we at the academies prefer to weed this particular fault out within our students."
"And yet you don't do shit against the racism," Coco snarked under her breath.
Weiss felt hit by these words. She had not been the most pleasant of people when she had first started at Beacon Academy. Could she have become such a monster if Port and her own team hadn't set her straight?
The old master dodged each attack. Her opponent kicked a sword at him, and the woman countered it with a deft motion, balancing the blade, and redirected it into the floor.
"It was never my decision to make!"
Adam growled and leaped for the next artifact. He paused as recognized Ozpin's staff. Realizing what this means, he picked it up and faced her.
"It is now," Adam said with a smirk.
"Oh, so I'm dead," the headmaster observed with the same casual demeanor as if he was talking about the weather, bewildering everyone else.
Angered, the master finally went on the offensive against her student. They fight fierce and relentlessly, but Glynda was losing ground. Adam pinned her down with the staff by the throat.
"Give... me... the scroll!" he snarled.
His opponent did not give and gasped out: "I would rather die!"
"What scroll are they talking about?" Ruby asked with intrigue.
"Perhaps it contains a kickass technique!" Yang cheered.
They struggled for a beat until finally, the staff snaps in half. Glynda looked back at the pieces, a shocked expression on her face and a flutter of peach tree petals fly by. Caught off guard, she ends up being kicked by Adam into the wall. She recovered mid-air, however, and leaped from column to column, pursued by her student turned mortal enemy. The Red Panda faunus eventually jumped to the rafters and Adam follows and sent them both crashing through the roof. Lightning flashes.
The watchers were breathlessly watching the action; every move captivated them. Yang and Ruby got excited enough to start imitating the movements.
Grappling in mid-air, Glynda briefly got the upper hand before the snow leopard gets his paws around her throat as they crash back through the roof and separate with a fierce kick. Glynda crashes into a column, falls to the floor and lands hard breathing in a daze. Adam bounced off the wall, knocking a lantern to the floor. Blue flames erupted everywhere on the floor. The young master's arms were aflame as he charged at Glynda with a roar. She struggles to block his punches.
"Oh shit, dodge!" yelled Sun, completely in the moment.
"She's trying, look!" Nora screamed in response.
"Children, please!" Glynda, ironically, shouted for silence.
"All I ever did," he screamed "I did to make you proud! Tell me how proud you are, Glynda! Tell me!" Glynda seemed more and more heartbroken with every punch. "TELL ME!" His final bellow sounded as if he was close to tears.
A cold hand seemed to grab Pyrrha. She knew of her partner's desire to make his parents proud; to be a hero for their sake as well. What could have become of him if…
If he had been rejected like this?
By her, on the rooftop, when he had confessed to the forgeries?
She did not dare imagine it.
THOOM! A fiery punch sent his former master skidding across the floor and crashing against the reflecting pool. The flames were extinguished by Adam with a mere gesture and he began stalking forward. Glynda weakly lifted herself slightly.
"I..." she began, weakened. "I have always been proud of you. From the first moment, I've been... proud of you."
This stopped Adam in his tracks and he starts to listen.
"And it was my pride... that blinded me. I loved you too much to see what you were becoming. What I... was turning you into... I'm... I'm sorry."
"This is so intense," gasped Velvet, who was on the edge of biting her nails off. Coco did not want to show it, but the tension got to her.
Adam hesitated as Glynda waited for his answer. After a long moment... Adam's expression goes cold. He has made his decision for good and grabbed his enemy by the throat.
"I don't want your apology..." he snarled. "I want my scroll!"
"He made his decision," Ozpin observed, resignation in his voice. "For better or for worse."
"Hey, did anyone notice how the movie stops when we start discussing?"
On Nora pointing it out, everyone did, indeed, note that the movie had halted while they talked. With silence reigning once more, it resumed.
He lifted her up to the ceiling. That was when the pretender saw the socket where the dragon scroll rested; within the fangs of a mighty dragon fashioned of Jade. There was no scroll.
Adam was furious. "What? WHERE IS IT?!"
He slammed Glynda to the floor with enough force to crack the stone. With a strangled voice, she spoke up once more.
"Dragon Warrior has taken scroll halfway across Mistral by... now." She coughed, seeing her will never see that scroll, Adam." He tightened his grip and brandished his claws "Never! N-never..."
Glynda mentally prepared herself to see her own self die.
"Come on, anyone!" yelled Neptune. "Save her!"
"Please," begged Velvet, not wanting to be witness to her teacher's death.
As Glynda began to pass out, Adam snarled, ready to kill. Suddenly...
"Hey!"
"YES!" Sun cheered.
"Heh, Vomit Boy is here to save the day." Yang smiled though, happy with the timely intervention of the white knight-
Oh my Oum, how did she not notice that before?!
Adam turns to find a blonde and somewhat lanky, if muscular, human standing in the doorway, gasping for breath.
"Huff... huff... huff... Stairs... huff..."
"Stairs?" Weiss was unimpressed. "That has him winded?"
"Who are you?" Adam was more than confused.
"Buddy..." The human gasped "I... am the Dragon Warrior! Huhhh..."
"The wielder of mythical power, ladies and gents," snarked Yang, earning her an indignant squawk from Ruby in defense of her male bestie and maybe-probably-could be crush and glares from Pyrrha, Nora and Velvet.
"You'll see, infidel!" declared the consumer of pancakes. "Fearless Leader will save the day!"
Adam masked his indignation with amusement. "You?!" He turned to Glynda. "Him?!He's a human." he turns back to Jaune. "You're a human. What are you gonna do, noodle guy? Strangle me?"
Yang giggled, as did Weiss and Coco.
Oobleck's brow furrowed. "Why is Mr Arc a human?"
"Don't tempt me." Jaune laughed, going with it. "No. I'm gonna use this!" This was the mythical dragon scroll, gold sealed with Jade.
"You want it?" Jaune challenged. "Come and get it."
From out of nowhere, Adam punches the human across the room, grabbing the scroll knocked from his hands.
Adam raised the scroll high. "Finally..."
"Nice while it lasted." Yeah, Yang didn't really have faith in his combat prowess.
Jaune's backside collided with a nearby pillar and he slammed back into the madman, sending him flying into a column.
"You were saying?" Pyrrha asked with a rare smug grin on her face.
"How did he do that?" Yatsuhashi wanted to know.
Astonished and surprised that he had actually landed a blow, Jaune put on a brave face and strikes a pose, making kung fu noises. Enraged, Adam charged back to Jaune on all fours, fury in his every motion.
For added effect the motion seemed to slow down and it affected Jaune's scared expression "Oh... WOW!"
"Run!" Velvet screamed.
"This foe is beyond him," Glynda stated. "It is for the best to retreat."
"But if he runs away, no one can stop that guy!" Nora protested.
Adam quickly caught up and they both sailed off the palace steps. Jaune clung to the scroll as Adam delivered a punch and sent him crashing onto the arena rooftops below and inexplicably bouncing off into a tree. The snow leopard roared and pounced; the human rolled down off a tree, dragging and holding it down and used the recoil to whip back and smash Adam in the face. He briefly skid across the rooftop and came right back at Jaune. He gets knocked down the long, the very long flight of stairs, and chased after him.
Weiss paled, as did many students.
"I take back what I said before."
"That scroll is mine!" Adam reiterated.
Down the stairs, Jaune and Adam grapple for the scroll. Jaune is oblivious to the effects of crashing down stairs due to a freakish pain tolerance and natural durability and in slow motion, his voluminous and almost illegally THICC butt pressed down on Adam's head, leaving him with a confused expression.
There were a few nosebleeds in the theater. Blake started scribbling in her book as she fought back the blood.
'Oh my yes,' both Pyrrha and Velvet thought.
"What did I just see?" Glynda demanded to know.
Port of all people answered. "That was Triple-S-Grade Man Booty, Glynda. One of a kind."
As they crashed through the gateway to the village the scroll is knocked loose. Jaune separated from Adam and crashed into a noodle cart. The pretender goes for the scroll but the dragon warrior snatched it away using a noodle lasso.
"Mister Arc shows an odd ingenuity in terms of tactics and strategy, no?" Ozpin observed.
"I wonder how he will fare in the Vytal festival," Glynda mused out loud.
The scroll flew towards him and bounced off his head. Adam immediately leaped for it, but Jaune grabbed his tail, knowing it was a dick move, and pulled him back down onto a cart which see-saws Jaune high into the air. In mid-air, he slurps the noodle up.
"I've heard of a drive-in, but not a fly-in," punned Yang, earning obligatory groans from everyone.
"Isn't it bad to just grab someone's tail like that?" Ruby wanted to know.
"Life-or-Death situation." Sun sounded oddly clipped, too wound up by what he saw. "All is fair."
Up and over the rooftops, the noodle boy landed in a grove of bamboo trees and into a nearby wok shop, scattering the large belly-like pans. The scroll lands inside a lantern, tumbles out and rolls to a stop in the street. As Adam makes his move on the scroll, desperate for the power within, Jaune sent a wok into his face, making a face-shaped indent.
The students hollered and laughed, cheering for their teammate and friend. Ozpin smiled at the sense of cameraderie.
The array of overturned woks turned into a shell game, the woks sliding around at top speed to hide the scroll.
"Lightning!" Jaune cheered and taunted at the same time.
"Nope," Coco counted herself out.
"Now I'm dizzy," Ruby complained.
With a growl, Adam knocked the woks away and exposed the scroll.
"He has cut the knot," Yatsuhashi rumbled. "A good reaction to such a tactic."
"Yes, but Jaune is still in danger," Velvet pointed out.
Now Jaune was panicking. He used his bamboo stilts to block his opponent as he tried to grab the scroll. The leopard swiped out the stilts and grabbed the scroll, apparently forgetting how gravity works. With predictable results, the scroll was knocked out his paws and rolled down the street.
"Ha!" laughed Sun, loving the sudden slapstick.
Jaune got thrown into a fireworks booth as the pretender chased down the scroll. The noodle had the best idea.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA!"
He set the fireworks off and comes speeding up on the cart, propelled by a motherlode of them.
"Go go, Fearless Leader!"
"Is Jaune gonna be safe?"
"Not as safe as that Adam guy when that cart hits!"
He slammed through Adam, launching him upwards and grabbed the scroll... and crashed into a rock wall.
"Damn," mumbled Yatsu. "So close."
"Can't help but cheer him on, huh, big guy?"
The scroll flew out of his hand and landed in the mouth of an ornamental rooftop dragon. Panicking, he looks back at Adam, who saw where the scroll landed and restarted his pursuit. Via the magic of cookie- vision (He envisions the scroll as a cookie), Jaune effortlessly scaled the building. His opponent was shocked by the acrobatic prowess.
Ruby preened. "The best kind of motivation! Well done, Jaune!"
Her team rolled her eyes at her, but acknowledged Jaune's sudden burst of acrobatics, all propelled by a cookie.
"The scroll has given him power!" He bellowed. "NOOOOOOOO!"
Enraged, he took a giant leap and kicked the wall of the building, causing it to crumble.
Coco balked. "That's some serious power."
"Indeed." Now Ren was officially worried for his leader.
Jaune struggled to reach the scroll as he is chased by Adam Taurus, though managed to keep the leopard at bay by kicking dozens of roof tiles into his face at the speed of a machine gun. Amazingly, the noodle boy skipped across the falling roof tiles to reach the scroll in mid-air and grabbed it…
"Is that even possible?" Now Ruby wanted to know.
Oobleck thought it over, then came to his conclusion: "If the counteracting power is exactly equivalent to the power that elevated these tiles in the first place, then yes."
Nora's eyes were shining. "Awesome."
Just as Adam leaped up behind him and unleashed a punishing blow with an overhead ax kick that sent the human smashing into the ground outside Mr Xiao Long's noodle shop. As Adam landed, he delivered a final devastating punch, sending up a huge mushroom cloud.
"No!" Pyrrha screamed.
"No no no get up!" Ruby was close to tears.
"He's fine, he's fine." Yang sounded as if she tried to convince herself as well.
As the dust settled, Adam Taurus is looming over a stunned Jaune in the impact crater, feeling his victory close. He picked up the scroll, relishing at having the secret to limitless power in his grasp at last.
"Finally... oh yes..." he gasped. "The power of the Dragon Scroll... is... MINE!"
"Shit!" Sun cursed.
"All for nothing," the deputy sighed. 'Even my close brush with death…'
He opened the scroll... and his triumph turns to horror as he tried to close and open the scroll again.
The watchers were befuddled. "What is he doing?" Weiss wanted to know.
Velvet realized...and giggled. "I-i think he tries to turn it off and on again." That made the others laugh or at least chuckle as they all realized the same thing.
"It's NOTHING!" Adam was despairing as he gazed upon his gold-tinted reflection. Before him, Jaune slowly got to his feet, wincing.
"What, that's it?" Yang found herself disappointed.
"It's okay. I didn't get it the first time either."
Adam was disbelieving "What?"
Jaune's voice was soothing, comforting, trying to quell the flames of rage within the faunus. "There is no secret ingredient."
Ren's eyes lit up in understanding. "I see."
"See what, Renny?"
"The secret of the scroll."
Adam tossed down the scroll in anger. Jaune looked down at the scroll and gazed at his reflection.
"It's just you." He smiled at himself.
These words resonated within all the students, but none more so than Yang Xiao Long, who had an epiphany.
She had been close, far too close to become the same as the raving lunatic on screen right now. She was prideful, yes. Being the best at Signal would do that to you, as well as being one of the best among the first years at Beacon. But how close was she to being condescending?
Had she been a demeaning jerk to anyone? Out of her pride and her sense of strength? Had she…
Yes, she had.
'Damn it,' she thought. 'I'm a shit friend, aren't I, Vomit Boy?'
Adam looks at the scroll... then snarled and lunged at Jaune.
"RRRAAAH!"
"AAAAGGGHH!"
A strike to the nerve points in a last effort borne out of frustration.
"No!" Ren gasped out.
"What? What is it, Renny?" Nora asked in worry. Her partner was not usually this vocal. "What did he do?"
"His..." the green ninja collected himself. "His nerve points have been hit. His motor functions have been shut down. He is helpless now!"
Everyone looked back at the screen with bated breath. The hope that the blonde knight would find a way out of this would die last.
Ozpin clenched his cane.
Jaune collapsed to the ground... and begins giggling. Adam looks down at his clawed hand in confusion and strikes his adversary again. And again... and again... Jaune seems to be merely tickled by this attack.
"Stop! Stop it! I'm gonna pee! Don't! Don't!"
Everyone blinked. "Uh, what is going on?" Blake asked the question everyone was thinking.
"It has been theorized," Ren spoke up once more, relieved this time. "But the nerve pressure technique is not entirely perfect, as some individuals seem to have misplaced pressure points."
"Meaning that Jaune still has a chance," jubilated Ruby. "Come on!"
"Fight on!" Velvet was really feeling it now.
In his frustration, the pretender delivered a fierce haymaker punch to the blonde's face. Jaune sees the attack and moves along with it, the fist barely grazing him. He lets the motion carry him, spins around with a leg raising. It results with a brutal roundhouse kick to Adam's chest, who rockets into the building behind him. Jaune looks on in amazement as his expression solidified, having come up with a game plan.
Yang was barely contained in her seat. "Did you see that?!"
"Incredible," Ren whispered.
"Wonderful," Port boomed. "He used the momentum to mitigate the damage of the attack and counter at the same time! What technique!"
Pyrrha, amazed at this turn of events, wondered if Jaune could be taught the same technique. Perhaps she should consult Miss Goodwitch on that one.
Adam rose from the rubble and ran at the insolent human again. But Jaune striked back, rolling with every attack and countering with equal or greater force, eventually grabbing the tail again.
"Still not cool," yelled Sun. "But it doesn't matter! Lay his ass out, bro!"
Adam got played with and as he made to bite him, lost in rage, Jaune merely parried with the man's own tail. A pathetic mew later, Adam roared in pain.
The three faunus and those who knew them cringed at what had transpired.
"I could feel that," Velvet whimpered.
"Tell me about it," replied Sun. "It's like being bit in the dick."
Everyone turned towards him with a shocked and horrified look? "What?" The monkey prince was dumbfounded at the attention. "It's about the same degree of pain!"
Weiss shivered at the mere thought of that amount of pain.
Jaune then gave Adam a butt bump that sent him crashing into a building, complete with him blubbering, rubbering and grimacing across the pavement.
Nora giggled at the undignified blundering. "I want to hit someone like that!" She then realized the context and quickly amended: "But with Magnhild!"
A little too late. Yang was cackling.
'God I wish that were me,' the fashionista thought to herself with a grin.
Adam emerged and now really mad, attempted one more lunge at the dragon warrior. But Jaune prepared, clenches his ass…
"Nice ass," Coco commented, appreciating a male form from time to time.
"Uh huh." Velvet's nose was bleeding again at the close-up.
and the pretender is swiftly met by Jaune's IRON BUTTOCKS! He is launched into the air and disappeared into the clouds.
"He went flying!" Nora was laughing hysterically.
"Good show!" Port was loving every second of it.
"I caught you staring at your student's ass," Ozpin whispered to Glynda for shits and giggles. "For shame."
Glynda became red in the face. "How could I not? It was right..."
"So you admit it." Ozpin lured her into a trap, grinning at her.
The deputy did the smart thing and shut up, preventing herself fro digging even deeper.
Jaune stood and waited... and waited... until finally, his opponent reappeared in the sky. Jaune stepped back to let him crash into the ground. Adam had to climb out the leopard shaped hole, battered, but still defiant. He staggered toward Jaune.
"His tail left an imprint," Ruby called out. "Just like in a cartoon!" She giggled a little.
"That was one fierce impact," noted the giant swordsman of Team CFVY.
"You..." he gasped. "Can't defeat me... you... you're just a blonde...scrawny," -at that Jaune gave him a look. "HUMAN!"
Adam lunged at him one last time... SCHWING! Jaune grabbed his finger and Adam's eyes go wide.
"Ooh, is it time for the finisher?!" Nora was bouncing up and down in her seat.
"Finish him," Yang growled out in a surprisingly deep voice.
"I'm not a blonde, scrawny human... I'm THE blonde, scrawny human!"
The pinky popped up. The dead man gasped in fear.
"The Wuxi Finger Hold!"
"The what?" Weiss was nonplussed.
Ozpin chuckled. "One would do well not to underestimate named techniques." Truthfully, he had no idea what a finger hold would do, though if it had to do with pressure points…
"Oh, you know this hold?" Jaune was goading him a little.
"You're bluffing... you're bluffing!" Adam sounded desperate and panicky. "Glynda didn't teach you that!"
"Nope." He looked hopeful for a bit.
Weiss deadpanned. "Why would he admit to bluffing?"
"I figured it out."
Adam's eyes widened one last time.
"Skadoosh!" And the pinky fell.
Nora and Ruby giggled at the silly sound.
"Heh, cute," Coco noted, smiling a little.
"Why was he so afraid of this hold?" Blake wanted to know.
An explosion of golden, rippling energy flows through the Valley of Peace, sweeping past the fleeing villagers. Astonished, they look toward the village in the distance.
Everyone in the theater was shocked.
"That's why," Ozpin supplied a bit needlessly.
"Did he explode?!" Nora asked, vibrating in her seat. "Did Jaune-Jaune make him explode?"
The narration pipes up. "Adam Taurus was beaten, destroyed with the legendary Wuxi Finger Hold, his own life energy used against him. Peace returned to the Valley, brought by the dragon warrior, Jaune Arc, last of the Human Tribe."
"He did explode," Yatsu noted, shocked.
"I have never heard of such a technique," Ren added. "Though I suppose it is for the best, considering the effects."
"What was that last bit?" Pyrrha asked, worried. "Last of the Human Tribe?"
"It seems that this Mr Arc was a human in a faunus world," noted Ozpin.
"Fascinating!" Oobleck was positively brimming with excitement. "We must watch more, learn more!"
"Hey, if that nets us extra credit in class, I'm down," Yang commented, making Weiss glare at her.
"We should discuss what to watch next, then," Pyrrha commented. She herself would like to see this Dating show thing she picked up from the shelf.
Before the discussion could start, the sound of many doors opening caught their attention.
"Wait, what?" Someone sounded nonplussed. "This isn't the kitchen."
