Sorry guys I fully expected to be able to upload this before I went in to work today, but they called me in early this morning and now at 2113 (military time) I have returned home to upload this chapter. Please enjoy while I enjoy a good nights sleep.
I do not own RWBY or anything else that happens to be in this story.

Hell's Trainer
It was day three of Tedd's training and it was clearly showing.
"I can't feel my arms!"
"You're not the one pulling extra weight!"
"SHUT IT LADIES, LESS TALK MORE TORTURE!"
"MY BACK!"
"GROW A SPINE YOU PANSY!"
And the scene Professor Ozpin walked in on brought back memories of his teaching days, "Ahh, Good times"
The scene in question was of Team SNKE finishing their daily exercise, and not their old ones either. On the very first day Tedd was told what they considered a warm-up, and he laughed in their faces before throwing them into Evan's warm-up, while at the same time doubling Evan's as well as having him carry a backpack full of 100 pound weights.
After they all finished and picked themselves off the ground, they gathered around Tedd and waited for what they would be doing today.
"Today will be a Team fight; it will be a four on one spar. The rules are simple; you are to fight until no longer able, and you win if my back hits the ground. Oh yeah, and rule number three, no weapons. Ready, BEGIN!"
As he said the last word he gave a viscous uppercut to both Shura and Evan, making them go flying out of the training room and not seem to be coming down anytime soon.
"NO FAIR!" screamed Kevin as he tried and partly failed at dodging the onslaught of fist.
"ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR SWEETHEART!" stated Tedd as he did a 180 degree turn and Sparta kicked Nico right in the face, sending him into a wall and turning to continue.
As he turned, he caught Kevin's fist and threw him headfirst out the door, next to Ozpin, ripping it off its hinges. Right after he let go of Kevin he had to dodge Shura's roundhouse to the face before punching him in the face and making Evan's fist go harmlessly through the air behind him. Before Evan could press for another attack Tedd mule kicked him in the chest making him stumble backwards. As he was getting out of the kick he got kicked in the face himself, making him go flying back into Evan.
As the two of them flew through the air, Tedd flipped Evan and kicked him to the ground before landing in a crouched position.
"Is that the best you've got? Because if it is, then I can get a better workout from my dead grandma!"Said Tedd as he laughed and closed his eyes for a second, and got punched in the spine from a bleeding Kevin.
"Don't forget sweetheart, there's four of us."
Tedd stood up from his position on his stomach with his head bowed. "I took you four for an easy win, and for that I'm sorry. But now you four have my undivided attention." He said before he lifted his head and a giant orange aura surrounded him.
The very next nanosecond everyone besides Tedd and Ozpin were on the ground and his aura was gone. "So how does it feel to be so utterly beaten and knowing you have no chance in hell of winning? Does it sound impossible? Unheard of? Well that's what happened, now live with it. Be back in this room by 1800 hours tonight and be ready to sweat and learn, dismissed." He said as he walked toward the door, before stopping at Ozpin. "Oh, and Evan, welcome back to hell." And walked out the door followed by Ozpin.

After their warm-up they stood in the middle of the room.
"Now listen, everyone here knows what aura is, however what a lot of people don't know is the aura level system. The system is a scale from one to ten. And each of these levels except one has a leveling system from one to one thousand."
"The first level is for newborns up to a normal 10 year old. Level two is normally from 11 to 14, three is 15 to 19, and four is as far as a normal adult is able of producing. These are usually called the civilian tier. A level five is what a normal hunter student for an academy should be at, Level six's are what a graduate should be at, and level sevens are where the majority of hunters and huntresses end at, and is dubbed 'The Warrior Level' for the fact that in order to even hope to be a great warrior you have to be level seven. However all together they are known as the soldier tier."
Then we get to the King tier. These include levels eight and nine. Eight is one that not a lot get to, and is the level I am on, this level has the added bonus of you being able to be reborn when you die with all your memories and former body in the essence of a newborn. Nine is even more rare to get to and I only know of one that is currently at that level. They have the same bonus as a level eight only they merge with a like-minded soul regardless of how old or their walk of life, but they do get the upside of an upgrade in aura level no matter what that person had before."
"And with that we get to level 10, the God tier. This level is the rarest to get and there have only been a suspected four level tens in the history of the world. It is rumored that a level ten has immortality, but it has also been rumored that at least one has died, and the others hide. But in the end no one knows much about level ten other than the fact it is near impossible to get and it might be a fake level as there is no proof of such a level other than word of mouth and belief."
"Now before you ask any questions, you would normally learn this system in your second year and get a test but I have special permission from Ozpin to test you all. Now who's first?" he finished with an evil grin and a lab coat that appeared from nowhere, before pulling out a scanner looking machine and scanned all of them in less than a second.
"Now I don't care if you want them to know what you where at the start of tem or what you are now, but I'm telling you everyone will know one way or another. Nico you started as a level four, you have since then gone up to a level 6, with a point of 780/1000. Kevin you started at a level 6, you now have a level 7, with a score of 490/1000. Evan you also started a level 6 and went up to a level 7, with a rank of 630/1000. And finally Shura, you started a 7 and ended a 7, however you went from a score of 260/1000 to a score of 810/1000. And now that that's over, START REDOING YOUR WARM-UP BITCHES!"
*GROWN*
"WHAT WAS THAT YOU WANT DOUBLE!?"
Next week at Vale Cemetery
A beautiful woman walks up to a figure bent in the shadow if a tree, and put her hand on its shoulder. "Jack are you ok?"
The figure looks up to reveal a crying Jack Nickleson. "I just had to bury my brother Jill, how do you think I feel?"
"Don't worry hun. They will pay for killing him." She says before helping him up and walking away.
As they walked away the wind blew the tree enough for light to hit a tombstone which read-
'Here lays Adam Nickleson. May he rest in peace'
In Vale
It had been a week since that day and the four had been given a break in order for Tedd to train another new bartender since that last one decided to quit after a few fights and police showing up.
When they landed Evan slit from the group without them noticing until Shura went to ask him something and ended up talking to air.
"He left again, oh well. So does anyone know the news on the Laughing Jack case?"
While Kevin stayed quiet, Nico spoke, "They eventually found a match of the killers blood with a tourist from Atlas, however what caught my attention was how many of one family there can be on a report."
"What do you mean so many of one family?" asked Kevin.
"What I mean is that of the police and paramedics who came on scene at least 1 of each where related. Then the forensic scientist also was of the same family. It could be nothing, but what caught my attention was the family name: Nickleson."
"Why does that name sound familiar?" asked Kevin as he raised his hand to his chin and getting into thinking pose."
"That would be because of the Street Performer we saw the other week before the case started. And with a little digging I found that a few days after Jack's death there was a funeral for one Adam Nickleson, who was seemingly found dead in his family home with multiple lacerations, stabs, and a giant hole in his chest. Which is the same way Evan killed Jack, but it could have been something else."
At this time Shura raised his hand, "Excuse me but I'm a bit lost, who is this Jack Nickleson fellow?"
As one the other two answered, "Someone we met when you were on a date with Velvet."
"Oh, well, proceed."
Evan
As soon as he left the group Evan knew there was one place he needed to be the rest of the day, an Oum damned bar. And that's where he has been all day with plenty of other drunks, hunters, and even a few criminals. However there was one that he was having a fun time with.
"So you say you're a priest from the church, but you can match me shot for shot and still smoke through three cartons of cigarettes? I smell some bullll-shiiiit. JAHAHAHAHA" stated a now happy and drunk Evan.
"You know you remind me of a hunter I once knew, he's dead now but he would always ask what kind of priest I was." He stopped to take a puff, "And that would always start an argument over my priesthood. HAHAHAHAHA! Oh what good times." He then looked at his watch before standing and paying for his drinks. "Well I have to go, but don't forget to call the church if you want to meet again!" said the stranger before he walked out.
"Well damn, I didn't even catch his name. oh well, OI BARTENDER ANOTHER ROUND OVER HERE!"
End
And Evan ends the chapter where he began, the bar. But anyways the one thing I've noticed about RWBY (as far as up to volume 5 has to say anyway) there is no power rating, I know that aren't really accurate (Dragon Ball anyone?). BUT I have plans for the future that rely a lot on this power rating to be here. BTW Tedd is another fun character to write, but as of right now too OP to be a constant in the story (Maybe volume 4?). Here's Nico and his previously unnamed Semblance.

Omake:
Shura and Kevin was setting around their table with Team's STRM and RWBY when Evan and Nico came in carrying the last of the food to the table before setting down and everyone going in for the food before they heard a loud "STOP!" before they all froze and looked next to a cutely angry Ruby.
"Don't you know that we need to say what we are thankful for?!" she continued while waving her arms in the air.
"Chill out sis, it's only Thanksgiving dinner. nothing to get hung up over." came Yangs response while giving Ruby a hug.
"Yang….need air." a now blue faced Ruby managed to get out.
"Oh, sorry sis." she said before letting go allowing Ruby too breath again.
"You know, Ruby's not wrong what are we thankful for?"
"AIR!" came a response as Ruby jumped up throwing her arms back in a victory stance.
"Thank you Ruby, now Yang you next and we will go from there."
"Alright, hmmm. I got it! I'm thankful for having a boyfriend that gets along with my little sis. Blakey your turn!" She turned and pointed at Blake while bending over in front of Kevin making him blush.
"Do I have to?"
"Yep."
*SIGH* "I guess I'm thankful for friends"
"Now was that so hard Blake?" came Shura's voice.
"Not as much as I thought it would be."
"Ok Wiess your turn."
While this was going on no one saw Evan sneak into the kitchen to grab a bottle until he came back after everyone else said their thanks.
"So Evan what are you thankful for?" asked a wide eyed Ruby before he poured Ragnar and himself a drink.
"I'm thankful for alcohol." he said before raising his glass
"I can drink to that came the tiger faunus as their glasses met and they downed the liquor.
"Really you two?!"
End
That wraps everything up for this one. See ya'll in about one? two? week(s). Whenever my work doesn't have me doing doubles everyday for a week straight. HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
