Chapter cover- Issia putting Ruby in a leglock.
Ch.6- Trying to sneak a peek
Issia takes a look at her watch which has her initials carved on the front, before closing it again, and putting it down on a table and walking away. Ruby gets curious and tries to open it.
She clicks the button on top like Issia always does, nothing. She clicks the button again, nothing. After several more tries, Ruby tries to pry the watch open, at this point with her hands then with Crescent Rose, both fail.
Yang walks by, seeing Ruby having trouble, "Hey Ruby, looks like you some help." Ruby is catching her breath.
"I was trying to see what's inside of Issia's watch, but isn't not opening." Yang takes the watch from Issia and tries to open it. After a minute, Yang is starting to get frustrated, her eyes are turning red and she is turning into a fireball.
"Open you litt-" Weiss walks by to see Yang punching a watch with Ruby watching.
"Weiss, give us a hand here. Let's see if your weapon can open this sucker open." Yang says to Weiss.
"I will not be apart of this. You should be ashamed for trying to peek inside someone's personal items." Weiss shuns Ruby and Yang for their foolish behavior.
"What's going on?" Blake asks, popping out from nowhere, scaring Weiss.
"Oh Monty! Can people stop appearing next to me?" Weiss asks before regaining her composure, "Ruby and Yang were trying open Issia's watch, and I was telling them how wrong that is." Weiss explains to Blake.
Before Blake can give her opinion, the watch disappears out of Yang's hand. The girls look around confused as to where the watch went.
"As funny as watching Ruby and Yang try to open my watch was, only a Holdback can open our watches." Issia explains leaning against the doorframe "I can tell what's happening to my watch even when I'm not close to it."
"But my mom says I should never let effort go to waste," Issia says before opening her watch and shows team Rwby the inside of it. There's a picture of Issia and her sisters with some people around them.
"Is that your family Issia?" Ruby asks to which Issia nods before closing her watch.
"I'm not ready to talk about my family yet, but I can least show you them," Issia remarks, but after that, the front of her watch starts to spin, when it stops a voice starts talking.
"Sometimes you need more than one, so have a few give you help." The voice says in a funky tone.
"Issia, did your watch just talk?" Blake of all people ask.
"Give me a tug, my power shall show through." The voice adds. Issia grabs and pulls the button of her watch, revealing a thin string inside. The button reels itself back and two clones appear alongside Issia.
"I just got a new ability." Issia laughs out.
After that little event, a few days pass and now Team RWBY is getting suspicious of Issia and her sisters, Ruby and Yang are hanging out with Medi and Issia as they wanted to test out their weapons with dust. They went to their normal place for ammo, Medi and Issia just brought every type of dust the shop owner had and for pretty cheap too.
Medi is crafting the ammo for her lance and asking Yang for help, while Issia is in the school's training range with Ruby.
"Ruby, you said that powdered dust is very sensitive right?" Issia asks Ruby for a quick refresher.
"Yes! A sneeze can set off dust, so be really careful." Ruby tells Issia reminding her first day and how Ruby almost blew up herself and Weiss. Issia summons her weapon and takes out an arrow then sprinkles a little fire dust on the arrowhead. She nocks the arrow, pulls back and releases.
The arrow flies and strikes a training dummy, exploding on impact into a small fireball. Ruby took cover, while Issia is unfazed.
"Well, if that's the starting point," Issia uncaps an arrow and stuffs an entire fire crystal into it, before recapping the arrow. Ruby runs in and stops Issia before she can even knock the arrow.
"Issia, wait!" Ruby blurts out, trying not to detonate the arrow, "How about we try this with your revolver?" Ruby suggest.
"I don't know Ruby." Issia takes her revolver from her hip and spins it around. Ruby gets nervous from Issia's waving it around.
"Don't worry, I keep my revolver unloaded when not in use," Issia explains, and Ruby takes a closer look at her revolver. It's very basic, no extra modes or even special rounds, it doesn't even fire dust rounds.
"Take a few shots," Issia tells Ruby while giving her the revolver and setting up some target.
Ruby fires six shots and gets one bullseye ever shot after that goes up higher and higher after Ruby is finished her hands hurt, "It's another Holdback thing, it's pretty much a basic gun when anybody else uses it, but when a Holdback uses it." Issia takes back her gun and reloads it using a speedloader.
This time Issia sets up a bunch of targets behind each other and takes aim, the cylinder starts to crackle with red energy again, once again punching through each and every target but her hand never moves. Issia takes a moment to catch her breath.
"Issia, are you okay?" Ruby asks seeing as the same thing happened during the initiation.
"Ah, no that just, amping my bullets takes a bit out of me." Issia states, "Come on, I still need to test the rest of the dust."
Meanwhile, Medi has finished crafting the bullets for her Gunlance, Yang left her halfway through.
"Now the fun part," Medi says grabbing the fire rounds first, she does a few practice thrusts with her lance, after performing a high thrust Medi pulls the triggers and a fireball shoots out the tip.
"That isn't much different from my normal rounds," Medi notes before slamming her lance on the ground and pulling the trigger firing all her other rounds, shooting out a thin beam of fire out.
"I would need to work on that." Medi mentally notes before grabbing another set of shells. She's being indecisive and is thinking which rounds she should test next. Fortunately, Nora and Ren happen to walk by and see Medi sitting in front of a bunch of shells.
"Hey Medi, having trouble with something?" Nora asks, which causes Medi to look up at her.
"I'm testing some new shells, and having some trouble picking which one to test," Medi replies, Nora picks up a shell with a yellow sticker wrapped around it.
"Oow, oow, oow. Are these electric rounds, you should try these." Nora suggests in her always energy-filled voice. Medi gets up and grabs her Gunlance, which is folded in half showing the internals.
"Fine, toss it over to me," Medi tells Nora. Nora tosses the shell to Medi, who catches it by snapping her weapon shut. Medi fires her weapon unleashing a small ball of electricity out the tip of her lance.
"That might have some potential, you guys mind sticking around to help me test my other rounds?" Medi asks Nora and Ren, they look over to the pile of rounds sitting next to Medi.
"Sure!" Nora agrees to help dragging Ren along with her.
Elsewhere
"Jaune, it's time for your training!" Ersa announces barging into Team JNPR's room, grabbing Jaune by his shirt and walking out.
"Hey, Pyrrha." Ersa acknowledges Pyrrha before leaving. Pyrrha is left confused by what just happened.
Ersa brings Jaune to the training area and lets go of him, "Come attack me." Ersa orders Jaune.
Jaune stares at Ersa before drawing his weapon, he runs at Ersa and performs a downward swing at her. She leans back a little, leaving the sword to slice the air.
"Too slow, I could see your attack coming from a mile away. Attacks like that will make you an easy target, do it faster and more precise." Ersa instructs Jaune.
Jaune attacks, again and again, each time failing to hit Ersa "Control your sword. Wide. You're open. Have you ever used a sword before?" With Ersa telling him what he's doing wrong and dodging barely out the way. Ersa catches Jaune's sword in her hand and looks over to the entrance spotting Pyrrha.
"Pyrrha!" Ersa calls her out, "I have an idea, you and Jaune fight against me."
"And before you say anything about me being at a disadvantage, worry about yourselves. And for the hell of it, I won't use my powers." Ersa adds, staring at Pyrrha. She draws her weapon and jumps over next to Jaune.
"Good," Ersa says happily. Jaune jumps at Ersa while Pyrrha backs him up by firing a few shots. Ersa blocks it all by holding her Greatsword in front of her using it as a shield, Jaune steps back.
Ersa holds her sword behind her back with a red aura covering her body. Pyrrha fires another set of shots at Ersa, but she isn't affected.
"Simple attacks like that won't make me budge," Ersa tells Pyrrha. Jaune charges in just as Ersa brings down her sword nearly crushing Jaune, Pyrrha jumps on Ersa's sword as she swings up, throwing Pyrrha into the air.
Pyrrha throws her shield, and Ersa catches it, giving Jaune the chance to hit Ersa's hand making her let go of her weapon, leaving her wide open.
"Hey Ersa, you're wide open." Jaune gives Ersa's a taste of her own advice from earlier and spits it back in her face, before he and Pyrrha attack Ersa in unison. Ersa staggers back but is still standing.
"It's going to take more than that to put me down," Ersa states, getting ready for round two.
"But that's where I'm calling it," Deandra says, stepping out of a portal.
"Hey! Who said you could end our training session?!" Ersa asks annoyed at Deandra's suddenly ruling.
"I need you for something, so don't complain. Come on, get in the portal." Deandra retorts pointing to the portal.
"Fine. Keep up your training Jaune, and Pyrrha, keep him on track." Ersa says, picking up her weapon and walking through the portal.
Elsewhere in a dark alley, four girls are sitting on top of some boxes, "The time for our reckoning is almost here sisters." A girl in knight's armor says, sharping a sword.
"They thought they could escape the Chief Goddess fury. They thought they could be normal, ha. We'll make everyone see the pitiful monsters they are." A girl says wearing a priest outfit and a metal mask around her mouth while holding a book.
"They're monsters all they care about is feeding, nothing more." A girl adds wearing a brawler outfit.
"I can't wait to snuff out their light." A short girl giggles with her laughter escaping the alley.
"All the pieces are set, now all we need to do is knock them down." The knight girl says.
?- I hope our daughters are okay.
?- Don't worry they'll be fine honey.
?- If you want, me and the girls could check on them, if you want.
?- No, I want people to think they're just normal girls.
