I had never expected such a positive response at all with this being my first fic. You guys are just fucking beautiful. Seriously thank you!

Coal: Shut up and get on with it!

Ok, ok jeez. You wanna do the honours?

Coal: Sure, thing dude. AHEM* This guy does not and will not own RWBY. He only owns me… hey does that mean I'm your bitch?

Yes, now shut up and get back to you place, you're still flying about the forest remember.

Coal: Oh, yeah I member… oh look, a bar of soap.


Chapter 5: Everybody Buddy Up!

(With Coal, still in the air)

"I BELIEVE I CAN FLY!"

Coal sang at the top of his lungs as he spread his arms wide thinking that they would keep him airborne just that little bit longer. Turns out they didn't.

Not noticing that he was losing height due to having shut his eyes and enjoy the feeling of the wind rushing through his hair, Coal did absolutely nothing to slow down or prepare to make a landing in the endless trees that was the emerald forest.

The inevitable eventually came, having lost so much height he passed below the tree tops and eventually came to a stop… face planting a tree. Coal slowly slid down the bark, ending up face down on in the dirt of the forest floor. Completely out cold.


(With Wiess)

Wiess had just landed on the ground deep inside the forest which held some of the deadliest creatures known in remnant. She had used several glyphs as stepping stones to ease her decent, it reminded her of some of her early training days when she just started using her semblance. She wasn't as adept as her older twin, but he had been training since the age of 7 while she had only started 4 years ago on her 13th birthday.

She gently patted her hair back down with it being blown about due to the brief flying lesson and began to look around in search of someone, anyone she knew.

'Ok so whoever I make eye contact with first will be my partner for the next 4 years… Well that's just great.' She thought to herself 'what if its someone I don't know or don't even get along with?'

This caused her to slightly panic and began making a list of everyone she had met at the school. She raised a hand to begin counting off the few people that she could work well with.

'Ok so I can defiantly work with Coal, duh he's my twin brother… Even if he's a pain in the ass sometimes. Pyrrha is a great fighter and we are good friends so she would be a great partner… Erm then there's that Jaune Arse boy I met this morning. He's a bit easy on the eyes I'll give him that but, nah I'd rather keep him way past arm's length… I'm sure that there's someone I'm forgetting about…'

As she was trying to remember who she was forgetting about, Wiess heard the sound of scrapping along the forest floor behind her. Thinking that it was a grimm she turned on one heel, reaching her left hand to Myrtenaster and prepared to strike. As soon as she finished turning and had drawn the weapon half was from it sheath, she saw a young silver eyed girl with black hair and red highlights wearing a long red hooded cloak. And what seemed to be a large gun like thing attached to her lower back.

"Oh yeah, the exploding girl!" she proclaimed, earning a depressing groan from the red themed girl. Wiess immediately retuned the sword back to its resting place and extended a hand to the younger student to be. "I'm Wiess, I'm sorry for what happened the other day, I shouldn't have blown up on you like that. I guess we are going to be working together for a while."

"Wow your puns are just as bad as Yang's"

"Excuse me?" Wiess retorted, faltering slightly

"Oh, em sorry… I'm, er… I'm Ruby er Rose." The now name Ruby took her new partners hand and shook it weakly. Wiess thought that maybe this girl had slight confidence issues. Something they would have to work on together with them being partners and all. Wiess remembered a time when she was like that, before she learned how to fight.

After the brief meet and greet, the partners decided to start making their way through the forest to complete the objective of the initiation making ideal small talk along the way. Wiess noticed her companion taking quick glances at her rapier several times and decided to ask about the girl's interest.

"Quick question Ruby?"

"Yes Wiess?"

"Why do you keep staring at my weapon?" Wiess never expected what happened next. The red cloaked girl began bouncing along as they walked, her silver eyes gleaming with excitement and a huge open mouthed smile on her face. 'She looks like Coal when he gets a new book.'

"Can I see it? Can I see it please? Please, please pretty please?" Ruby pleaded. "I love weapons there so cool and I've never seen a sword of that design before, does the chamber hold different types of dust?"

Wiess drew the weapon and held it for the hyperactive girl to see. "Actually, it does. I can rotate between the different types when I fight different types of grimm. Some types of dust are optimised for damage while others are more for enhancing my own abilities.

"That's so cool!" Ruby shouted waving her arms around like a small child and eyeing the chamber of the sword more closely. "The design is great, almost flawless. With a few adjustments, I bet we can make this baby…"

"NO!"

Ruby jumped back from the snowy girl, having been scolded once by her partner when they met the other day for the first time. She didn't want to go through the entire thing again because she did something stupid like trying to help her partner improve the quality her weapon.

Wiess noticed the scared look in the girl's eyes and immediately began to back pedal. "Sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you it's just… My brother made this weapon for me. He designed and built it from scratch himself… It means more to me than you could understand."

Ruby seemed to relax a little bit having heard that the weapon held a great deal of sentimental value to her new partner. "Its ok. That's great that he made it though, it looks like it took him a long time because of the amount of detail."

"Longer than you 'd think."

An uneasy silence filled the air as the two teens continued walking. Wiess had sheathed her sword some time about after they stopped talking and had since wanted to start up another conversation with her new partner. After what seemed like forever, she turned to the red girl and asked. "Any ideas on how we are going to find these relics?"

Ruby looked around trying to form some sort of plan on completing the mission. Having taken a few moments to climb a tree and search for the ruins from higher ground she spotted something a few trees down. A large bird nest…

"Yeah, I think I found something that will help." she called down to Wiess with an evil grin.


(With Coal)

Coal blinked… and blinked again. Finally coming out of his dazed state. How long he had been out he didn't know, but something was defiantly odd about how he had woken up… She was sitting atop a busty blond girl, pinning her arms down with his legs, his aura-less right hand gripping her neck. His left arm outstretched to a black-haired girl with black bow kneeling to his left side. in his hand was his 2-chambered revolver, Forgotten Sins, it's barrel flush against the girl's forehead. He didn't know how or why he got into this position with the two girls, last he remembered was flying above the forest, watching a tree get closer and closer...

He still had yet to move from his position because the girl with the bow intrigued him. He was positive that he had seen her somewhere before, but couldn't remember when or where. One thing he did know was to trust his gut. And right now, it was telling him that she was dangerous, she was an enemy, she was also drop dead beautiful but that was beside the point. She was still an unknown…

"Hey Coal what the hell man!"

His eyes darted to the figure lying underneath him and his obsidian orbs widened upon realising who she was. "Yang?"

(Flashback – Yesterday inside the Beacon Observatory)

Coal was searching everywhere for his sister. He Jaune and Ruby had just entered the building and the young girl had ran off stating something about going to speak to her sister. Coal had also said goodbye to Jaune saying that they would meet up later after he had found his twin.

Having wandered through the crown for a bit and coming up empty handed, Coal spotted a familiar red cloak and mess of short black and red hair. 'Maybe little red can help me look for her.' He pondered.

Deciding that two heads were better than one, he made his way over to girl, pushing his way through the mass of bodies, attempting to get her attention. "Hey young'un!" This seemed to catch the girl's attention as she turns and beamed at him with that a cute childish smile of hers.

"Hey Coal what's up?" she asked

"I'm looking for someone actually, think you can help me out?"

"Sure, no problem what do they look like?"

Before he could begin to describe his twin, he was interrupted by a very well equipped blond girl (if you get what I mean) who was standing next to Ruby. "What you lost your girlfriend or something?" she asked with a sly smile. The response she got was not what she was expecting…

"DAMN~! Those are some big melons!"

"EXCUSE ME!" the blond shouted turning to the boy eyes red with furry. Coal simply walked past both girls and up to a refreshment stand which for some reason had whole melons placed in a neat pyramid. Coal picked two up, one in each arm, before turning back to the girls. Eyes gleaming with amusement and a shit eating grin.

"Seriously have you seen the size of these things, there huge!" He exclaimed, forcing back a laugh at the reactions the girls had. Ruby's face had turned the same colour as her cloak and she quickly reached for her hood to hide her face from embarrassment. The blond however just simply laughed, the humour escaping from her lilac eyes.

'I though her eyes were red…' Was coals only though as he replaced the melons and walked back over to the girls.

The blond was taking deep breaths trying to regain her composure as she lightly punches Coal's left shoulder. "What a way to, ha-ha, make a first impression! Ha-ha. You and I will get along just fine." She said between breaths.

"You have an amazing set of eyes."

His response had clearly startled the blond as she immediately stopped laughing and stood up straight, having being bucked from laughing so hard. She had been complimented plenty times before and was no stranger to how the opposite sex viewed her. But the way he said it make her stomach flip. No… she was not going to lose to this kid and his alluring obsidian eyes… 'Damn it!'

"Um thanks…" Was all she managed to say.

Coal extended a hand to the blond informing her of his name. "I'm Coal by the way."

"Yang Xiao Long, Ruby's older sister." She replied giving him a firm handshake, one she used to break some guys hand once. It didn't have any visible effect as he still wore his shit eating grin, this prompted Yang to increase the pressure of her grip. Yet still no change. Little did she know that the boy had no feeling in his right hand at all and had not felt a single thing. To him it was an ordinary handshake.

It was at this point when Coal received a slap across the back of his head… 'Well… I found her.'

(Present time)

"Coal what the hell are you doing get off me! And put the gun down!" Yang shouted.

Coal blinked a few times, trying to understand how they wound up like this. Still keeping an eye on the girl with the bow she climbed off Yang and offered her a hand up, his gun still locked onto the black-haired girl.

"Coal!" Yang yelled. His gaze shifted to the blond but he kept the gun level, finger on the trigger. "Put. It. Down."

After tense moment, that seemed to last way to long, Coal lowered Forgotten Sins and stored it inside the holster on his left hip. Still glaring daggers at the girl he had almost shot, he demanded in a dark tone. "Who are you?" It was Yang who answered.

"She's my partner. Blake Belladonna." Coal didn't know that name, but he had seen her somewhere before. The question was where? And why did she give him such a bad vibe?

He would have to ask those questions later as a low growl reached his ears. A lot of low growls. Edging their way out of the bushes was at least 15 beowolves, their red eyes fixated on the Obsidian eyed boy. They were hungry and he looked perfectly delicious. Something Yang would agree with if they had been able to understand one another.

The blond took a step forward, ready for smash some skulls together, but she was cut off. Coal had stepped in front of her reaching into his wine-red trench coat. He pulled out a tin can and pulled on the tab, releasing some compressed gas, before bringing it up to his lips and taking a few gulps of the liquid. Once finished he breathed a satisfied sigh before throwing the can in Yang's direction.

"Hold my beer." He said as Yang caught the can. "I got this."

The blond brought the can up to her nose and took a long inhale… Yep defiantly beer. She wasn't one to let a good drink go to waste so she took a gulp herself. Blake was still staring dumbfoundedly at the boys back. He goes from almost ending her life, to protecting her and her partner with the drop of a hat, or in this case beer. Questions floated around her head as to who this boy, Coal, was and why did he look at her with both hate and confusion. She had only ever known one Coal and he had white hair. And he was supposed to be attending Atlas as far as Blake knew.

Coal reached back into his coat once more and pulled out a set of cobalt blue headphone and set them on top of his head. Reaching for his scroll, ready to press play he looked straight ahead to the grimm that seemed to radiate a bloodlust that seemed all too familiar to him. One he could expel himself after being pushed too far. He let his left-hand rest just above his gun, ready to draw as if he was in an old western. At this point he was kind of wishing he had a hat to fit the scene. After having waited long enough he pressed play and let the music take him into battle…

"I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world~"

Coal face faulted at hearing the lyrics. 'Damn, Wiess has been messing with my battle mix again.' He started fumbling with his scroll to select a more appropriate song for the intense fight that was about to take place. He couldn't go into battle with terrible music, he never broke that rule.

"Let's try that again shall we." He said pressing play for a second time.

[Battle music: Papa Roach – Face Everything and Rise]

He drew Forgotten Sins as the beat kicked in, raising the 2-chambered revolver he took aim. The chamber closest to the barrel, which contained many different types of dust, rotated so that the barrel loaded with red fire dust and pulled the trigger.

The bullet passed though the chamber of fire dust, coating it and enchanting it as it left the gun, travelling to the centre of the pack of grimm exploding on impact. The explosion was enough to take down a few of the closer ones and do enough damage to the grimm surrounding, the shockwave sending the grimm in all directions and knocking the pack to the ground.

Coal merely smirked at the helpless creatures. Yeah, they were low level beowolves, something he fit into the category of trash mobs if this were a game. But he couldn't waste such an opening, even it if was meant being less entertained. Switching the dust chamber again he settled on a purple cartridge known as gravity and fired into the group of grimm again. This time aiming for the ground. When the bullet struck, a black glyph appeared and pulled the grimm down into the earth preventing them from getting back up.

As the grimm struggled helplessly, Coal once again changed the dust chamber to a clear chamber that held no dust at all and walked up to the downed pack. As he stood over the first grim he looked into its blood red eyes which reflected his own face… and his own Demonic grin. He pointed Forgotten Sins at the creature of darkness' head and pulled the trigger twice. Double tapping the monster executioner style.

Coal proceeded to do this for several grim, reloading as he went between the creatures, until there were only 5 left, that was when the glyph enhanced gravity bullet had worn off and the Beowolves rose back up, pouncing at the person who had killed their brethren. Their lust for blood intensified.

Coal began to dodge and weave through the black creatures, their wild slashes and bites missing by mere inches. To Yang and Blake, it looked like he was dancing with the grimm, the blond gigged at this while Blake just watched in silence still torn between trusting her almost murderer and protector. She thought the teen amidst the sea of dark creatures was moving in a very particular way as if he was playing a game of chess and needed every piece in the right place before making his move.

'NOW!'

He changed the dust again to a white wind dust chamber and fired again at 3 grimm who had conveniently lined up a bit too perfectly. The enhanced wind bulleted spun at almost twice the speed of a normal bullet and travelled a lot further, it also had increased penetration which is why he used it. The passed through the heads of the 4-line up grimm and get going, passing straight in-between Blake and Yang who stood off to the side. They both turned to see where the bullet had landed only to find that the tree behind them had a small hold that passed straight through it. Both preyed the never had to take a shot like that.

With only two grim left, Coal reloaded the 6-round revolver and embedded two new bullets into the creatures' skulls. As the mass of creatures began to dissolve and disappear Coal turned back to the girls, taking his headphones off and placing them around his neck.

Yang simply grinned at him. 'That was kind of hot.'

Blake just gave a deadpan stare not knowing what to think.

As the obsidian, eyed boy walked back up to them, gun back in its holster, Yang returned the beer and pointed something out that he hadn't realised. "You do realise you've been bleeding since before you woke up, right?" Coal patted himself down before his hand met his right shoulder… it was damp.

"For fuck sake… again?"


A/N

Well what did you guys think. Coals fighting style is a bit different to most. He focuses mainly on speed and only strikes when he sees and opportunity to do major damage to his enemies. He's more of a strategic and methodical fighter. Now a little more detail about the gun

6-shot 44. Magnum

2 chambers. (one in front of the other) the chamber closest to the handle packs 240 grain semi-jacketed hollow point ammo while the other contains different types of dust which can be exchanged as easily as the bullets. The bullet passes though the dust lined chambers and enhances/enchants the shot. This can be mixed with glyphs to crated different effects across the battle field.

Design; silver barrel and chambers made with stainless steel. Cobalt blue handle made from ivory
