Chapter 14: Team RWBY, Training Begins
Cue Persona 4 opening: "Key plus Words"
Emi slowly regain consciousness as her body started to move. Her body wrapped with pain from head to toe as she tries to stand up. "That little brat…" she said venomously, thinking back the final moments of her battle with Ruby. "This is unforgivable. Damn her."
"Poor little Emi…" A voice said, catching the wizard's attention. Emi looked behind her shoulder and saw Cima and Niya. "Now who were you mentioned before?"
"Like you want to know."
"But I do." Cima said with a smirk. "I want to know who managed to defeat the 'great and powerful' sound magic you possess." Emi glare grew darker hearing her magic being made fun of. "Was it one of those huntresses you were supposed to kill?" Emi widen her eyes.
"How do you know that?!" Emi shouted. Cima smirked seeing that he was right.
"It's simple really." Niya answered. "We've already taken care of those friends of yours. I've dealt with Suzuki and Cima took care of Kono and Kotori."
"And now you're the only one left." Cima said as lighting course through his body. Emi got to feet and used her sound magic to get away from the two wizards.
'I have to get away.' Emi thought. 'There's no way I can fight them all by myself, especially in the shape I'm in now. Right now, I need to find a place so I can recover and get my revenge on that red-hooded brat!' Emi came to complete stop when she saw Cima appeared in front of her.
"You didn't think that I don't know anything about your speed, did you? No matter how fast you think you are, you're not faster than lighting. It's over."
"Now children, there's no need to fight." A new voice said, getting Emi and Cima's attention. They looked at where the voice came from and saw Ito walked out of the shadows. Emi and Cima widen their eyes, feeling the instance power coming out of her. Ito looked over at Emi. "Emi, I've heard what happened to you and your colleagues. Tell me, did this little huntress use any magic during your battle?"
"Yes, at the start of our battle she tried to use semblance." Emi said. "But as the fight progressed, her semblance slowly turned into magic."
Ito smirked at this. "I see." She looked over at Cima. "Stand down, Cima. I think we can give her a second chance."
"But Mistress…"
"I said stand down." Ito repeated, glaring at Cima. Cima tensed up when Ito looked at him and immediately backed down. "Good…" Then she looked over at Niya. "Niya, have you sent the message to the other guild members?"
"Yes, ma'am." Niya answered. "They've been told to meet at rendezvous point in one month's time."
"I see. I suggest that you two will be there to greet them." Ito looked at Emi, who had a nervous look on her face. "Don't worry my dear Emi, I'll make sure you have enough power to get revenge on the ones who defeated you and your friends."
Lahar grunted in pain as he struggled to get to his feet. He's counting his blessing that he survived Ito's attack. However, he couldn't say the same for his men. He leaned against a nearby stone, thinking about what just happened.
'That magic…' he thought. 'That wasn't ordinary shadow magic. It's much darker… '
(Flashback)
"So you're still alive, Lahar." Ito said with a smirk. "You're stronger than when we last saw each other. However…" Ito looked at the dead bodies of Lahar's men fading into Ito's shadows. "Your men are a different story."
"Damn you…" Lahar cursed. "Just what are you planning? Where did you learn that type slayer magic?"
"You've got so many questions, old friend. You're smart enough. Don't tell me what you haven't figured it out. Where else one learn this type of spells?" Lahar widens his eyes realizing what Ito was referring to.
"No, you didn't…"
"So what if I did, what can a weakling like you do?"
"What are you after? What's your plan?"
"You know too much already." Ito said as her hand is covered in shadows. "I'm afraid this is where we must part ways." With that said, Ito used her magic again and the scene turned black.
(End of Flashback)
'Whatever it was, I'm lucky to survive.' Lahar thought. 'I need to report this to the Magic Council. Whatever Ito is planning, she must be stopped.'
The sun started to rise over Magnolia, starting a brand new day. In the Fairy Tail guild hall, most of the guild members that were present were gathered in a circle as sounds of swords colliding fills the building. In the middle of the circle, Erza and Blake clashed swords before pushing each other back. Much of the guild were surprised that Blake had managed to hold her own against the scarlet-haired titania. Erza charged towards Blake, slashing her sword at the faunus. Blake tried her best to block Erza's strikes but the last slash knocked her to the ground. As Blake was about to get back to her feet, she saw Erza's sword pointed at her face. Erza pulled her sword back and extended her free hand to the faunus. Blake looked down, upset that she lost but took the helpful hand as she got back to her feet.
"That was impressive." Erza said, extending her hand. "We should do this again one day."
"Yeah, we should." Blake said, shaking Erza's hand. The circle of guild members dispersed and everyone went to usual activities as Blake walked to her team's leader.
"Don't worry, Blake." Ruby said. "I'm sure you'll get her next time."
"Thanks." Blake said. She looked over Ruby's shoulder and saw Lisanna and Elfman walking towards them. Ruby looked behind her and two of the three Statuss siblings approaching her and Blake.
"Hey Blake, are you ready to start?" Lisanna asked. Blake nodded and said her goodbyes to Ruby before leaving with the Stratuss siblings. Ruby looked over at the request board and saw Lucy, Wendy, and Carla looking at the papers posted on it.
"Hey Lucy, Wendy, and Carla…" Ruby shouted, walking towards the board.
"Oh hey Ruby…" Lucy greeted the young huntress. "What happened to your team?"
"They already left to start learning how to use their magic."
"Shouldn't you do the same?" Carla asked. "I'm sure Jet would be more than happy to help with speed magic."
"But I already know use how to use it." Ruby whined. "I want something to do while my teammates are away."
"If you know want, you can join me and Wendy on a job request." Lucy suggested. "There's always room for one more."
"Do you mean it?" Ruby asked with stars in her eyes. Lucy nodded with a sweat drop. "Great!" Ruby used her semblance to zip towards the entrance. "I'll be right back. I need to grab some things." She used her semblance again to run towards where she and her team were staying.
"Are you sure about this, Lucy?" Carla asked.
"Yeah, I think so." Lucy said. Then Carla's eyes widen images of a castle-like building being destroyed and Ruby screaming appeared in her mind.
"Carla…" Wendy said, getting the exceed's attention. "What's wrong?"
"Oh…it's nothing." Carla lied as she looked back at the ground. 'That vision…what was that?'
Weiss was following Gray to where he would teach her how to use Ice Magic. As the two walked through the forest, Weiss thought back to the conversation she had with Makarov.
(Flashback)
"I see…" Makarov said, after Weiss's explanation of what happened in her battle. "I believe the type of magic you used is known as God Slayer magic."
"God Slayer Magic?" Weiss repeated confused.
"Must like Dragon Slayer Magic, it is a form of lost magic but this very powerful and dangerous to wield if you can't control it. And by the story you just told, you have Ice God Slayer Magic."
"So is there anyone in the guild that can use God Slayer Magic like me?"
"No, there are no in the guild. However, we have Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy. Even though they're Dragon Slayers, I believe they could still assist you on mastering it. As for now, why not ask Gray to teach you Ice Magic."
(End of Flashback)
Weiss started to feel like she's been walking for hours as she looked at Gray. "Gray, where are we going?" The heiress asked.
"Mount Hakobe." The ice wizard said.
"Mount Hakobe? What's that?" Then Weiss feel the temperature quickly started to drop as she reached the base of the mountain. She looked at the mountain in awe as Gray continued to walk towards it.
"It's a snow covered mountain." Gray answered, starting to remove his clothes.
"WHY ARE YOU STRIPPING IN THE COLD?!" Weiss yelled, blushing madly.
"The first rule in learning Ice magic is to embrace the cold." Gray explained. "Now…take off your clothes." Weiss's face immediately got ever redder to the point that it matches the color Ruby's red hood when Gray said that.
"NO WAY, YOU PERVERT!" She yelled. "THERE'S NO WAY I'M DOING THAT OUT HERE IN THE COLD!"
Happy sat on a nearby rock, eating a fish as Natsu and Yang spar against each other. Yang skidded across the ground after taking one of Natsu's attacks.
"What's wrong Yang?" Natsu asked. "Is that all you got?"
"Not even close." Yang said as golden flames engulf her hands. "I'm just getting fired up!"
"That's the spirit!" Flames engulfed Natsu's hands as well. "Now show me that fire in your belly!" Yang and Natsu charged towards each other as their flaming fists collide.
Ruby was walking through town behind Lucy and Wendy as she looked back at the guild hall with a smile on her face. She looked back at her friends from the guild and ran to them as they began their mission.
To be continued…
