Chapter 6: Hearts and Blessings

It had been a week since Jaune had found out about the four girl's powers. After Krocheya, nothing had popped out of Ruby that she couldn't handle on her own. Blake had finally made contact with her bow, which named itself Gaol. Weiss on the other hand was still not having luck with Ein.

Ruby felt that she had been having a chain of good days. But just like there are good days, there are bad ones too.

"Uuhuu…" Ruby cried through her red puffy eyes as she lay in bed in her pajamas.

"This is what happens when you fight a Nevermore during the monsoon seasons." Yang scolded her baby sister as she finished wiping her down. "You'd think with a symbiote that covers most of you, it'd help combat a simple cold."

"Hey, bite me!" Crimson said while wrapped around it's host head like a cold compress. "I'm a piece of clothing that grants ultimate power, not an immune system."

"With ultimate powers, immunities should be part of it." The blonde sibling ground out. "How can you call yourself all powerful if you can still get sick?"

"You're human mind just doesn't understand the importance of such things." The cloak lectured. "Pain and such may seem like a weakness, but it-"

"Blah, blah, blah. None of that! …So rest up sis." She patted her little sister's head before walking to the door. "You gotta get better since tomorrow is a school day."

All Ruby could muster was a shaky thumbs up before her sister turned out the lights and shut the door.

The next day – On the way to school

"I can't believe you got sick." Jaune said to his three neighbors as they walked to the bus stop in the rain. He and Blake were currently sharing an umbrella while Yang was walking with her sister. "You'd think with something that gives you superpowers, you'd have high immunity."

Ruby was fine to go to school. The only thing she had was the sniffles and a clogged nose.

"That's what I said!" Her fellow blonde nodded. Ruby shook her head at the two. "But the cloak is all 'you wouldn't understand. You're mind can't comprehend.'"

"By the way." Jaune said, turning to his partner in his bag. "Can you do any of that?"

"Not in my jurisdiction." Krocheya explained from inside. "There are different classes of fairies. Mostly there are nature, elementals, and rural. Some have mixed breeds, so there have been debates on what class to put them under."

"So what class do you fall under?" The bow wearer asked. She and Krocheya had gotten along well since both loved to read books together.

"I'm sort of a mix breed." She answered with small pride. "To be more specific, I'm a child of a book fairy and a water sprite. I can't give immunities, but I can give basic healing, knowledge, and skills."

"Boo!" Said Yang's left glove.

"Boring!" Said the other. The group had gotten used to the two's antics. They were still newborns, so their childish attitude was something they'd have to bear with. "Where's the fun stuff like turning dragons into dust or all the fun explosions?"

"You childish brutes wouldn't understand the depths of what a blessing from a fairy could hold!" The offended fairy huffed. "Blessings from a fairy of any kind are powerful and bring more joy than you're greedy symbiotic natures!"

"Hey!" Clip shouted, turning into a fist against Yang's will. "Them's fighting words!"

"You lookin' fer a tussle missy?" Duster said with an accent. Yang had kicked herself mentally for watching old late night shows with them on. "We'll be havin' you screamin' like a piggy."

"Say yer sorry n maybe we can fogetabatit." Clip finished.

Krocheya, Blake, and Ruby were happy to be on the bus where the two gloves could keep quiet.

On the bus

"You'd think having ultimate power would mean having a stronger immunity." Weiss said in a seat behind the two blondes.

"Our thoughts exactly." The blonde male said, doing the usual routine of comparing work Yang.

"Why do all my friends think the same things against me?" Ruby asked herself. Crimson had transformed itself to be a surgical mask in case anything in Ruby's nose came out a symbiote. If it was a Grimm, then it'd give an early warning for her to go somewhere secluded.

Lunchtime

Classes had been normal for all of them surprisingly. Crimson hadn't alerted Ruby of anything wrong, and her sniffles had died down into a few snorts and drips.

"So Jaune…" Yang said in a very sweet tone, saddling up to her fellow blonde. "Been meaning to ask this for a while now…"

Blake, Weiss, and Ruby had stopped eating to see what Yang would be asking him. For a while, Weiss had gotten it into her head that Yang had feelings for Jaune and was now taking the time to ask him out.

Blake was wondering what their relationship was like since she first met them. The way Yang defended him when Adam punched him and the story form Tifania of how the two were walking home together when they brought her to his apartment gave her an inkling feeling that something was there.

For Ruby, she was having mixed feelings of whether she shipped it or not.

"How's it like living with a fairy?" She said with stars in her eyes. The three girls had saddled up to him to hear his answer. "Is it like how it is in most stories? She gives you shiny things and sparkles and all that sweet stuff?"

"Things are pretty normal." He said, putting his sandwich down. "She's still a woman, so some boundaries are put up. As for the blessings part… I haven't asked for anything yet."

"But you could have anything." Weiss whined at the unfairness. "Money, love, anything your heart desires! You could have anything."

"Not really." The fairy said from inside Jaune's lunchbag. "My powers have limits too, you know."

"But the whole love and money thing is there, right?" Weiss asked.

"Yes, I can give love, money, and eternal life." She said in a bored tone. "And I offered him those things and he refused them all!"

"Why?" Weiss cried at the wasted opportunity.

"It'd be boring if everything you ever wanted just falls into your lap." He explained himself. "…At least you guys get to transform with superpowers."

"…Is that what you wanted?" Krocheya asked in excitement. "I could give you that stuff!"

"Still haven't." Weiss mumbled with her head on the table.

"I've just been able to talk to mine recently." Now she was staring at Blake with envy since Ein hasn't even bothered trying to talk to her.

"Hold on!" Yang butted in. "Fairies can give superpowers?"

"Of course we can!" She nodded with a proud smirk. "In the old days when humans could enter our realm, we gave them powers. …Then they all forgot about us and went to wizards and saints for a cheap knock-off item like swords and such. …Don't know what happened after that though."

"Then I'll take those powers then." Jaune said in excitement. "It'd be great to help you guys out."

"Perfect!" The fairy gave a thumbs up. "We'll just head off to a meadow area or a grassy plain where I can bless you properly. It's usually for tradition's sake, but it also comes with greater perks than just doing things on the spot."

Suddenly, Crimson felt a disturbance in Ruby. A portal had opened up and something big was coming out. "Ruby."

"What is it Crimson?" She asked, sniffing a snot that was dangling on her nose. "I'm feeling fine, so I don't think anything is popping out soon."

"You're wrong." It said in a grave tone. "Something is coming. And it's big."

"Guys." She nudged her sister to get their attention. "We might wanna get out of here. …Something is going to pop out."

Nodding their heads, the group had picked up their bags to run somewhere secluded.

School Gym

The group had quickly made it to the gym area and had found it empty since the rain outside made the whole area humid and moist. Weiss had stayed outside since she still couldn't combine or talk with Ein.

"Let's get this over with quick." Yang grumbled, tying her hair in a ponytail in her transformed state. "All this humidity is frizzing my hair."

"Don't worry Jaune." The fairy told her partner as he held a metal bat. "With me here, I can act as a shield while you help fight whatever comes out. It could be another Ursa or an Alpha Beowulf, so this should be simple."

"We're ready Ruby." Blake said, forming a connection with Gaol.

"This will be our first fusion together." Gaol whispered into Blake's ear. "Remember to think of something we can use as a weapon."

"Got it." Blake said as her eyes became more catlike and her bow turned into cat ears.

As Crimson wrapped itself around Ruby in cloak form, the group saw something similar snake's tongues popping out of her nostrils. What made it grosser was that they were still flicking about.

"Eew!" Yang said in disgust seeing what was on her sister's face.

"Here we go." Ruby said uncertain as she blew her nose. What came out was a two-headed snake that was connected together. It had dwarfed all of them in size as it shook its heads to get it's bearings.

"A King Taijitu?" Krocheya had run out the gym the moment that it appeared.

"Krocheya!" Jaune had ran after his partner, leaving Yang, Blake, and Ruby to fight it on it's own.

With Weiss

"Why wont you talk to me?" Weiss asked her tie in her hand. "I want to help the others. Don't you feel the same?"

She was taken out of her thoughts as she saw Jaune's fairy bolt out of the gym with him chasing after her.

"Jaune?" She called, running to catch up to him. "Why's Krocheya running off?"

"I don't know." He said not taking his eyes off her as she flew into the rain and stopping in the track and field. Because of all the rain, the caretakers weren't able to cut the grass for days. "But I'm going to find out."

As they got near her, they saw she was shivering in fear and hugging herself.

"Krocheya." Jaune called out to her softly. "We need to go back and help them."

"I cant fight that thing Jaune." She said, looking at him with fear in her eyes. "If I get even a scratch on me from it's fangs, I'll die. Fairies and poison don't mix well. Please don't send me back there."

"I'm sorry Krocheya." He said, scooping her up. "I didn't know."

"…Krocheya." Weiss said, ignoring the rain drenching her. "You said to bless Jaune, you'd need a grassy plain. Will this place do?"

"After the blessing, you can wait out the gym while I go in and help them." Jaune offered his partner. "No one will fault you for running and hiding in this situation."

"Thank you guys." She said wiping her tears and floating up to be at Jaune's eye level.

Placing her hands on his forehead, she looked him in the eyes and took a breath.

"Get ready, Jaune. This will be overwhelming for the both of us." She told him with a fierce look. "For it is in passing that we achieve immortality…"

As Weiss watched the two, she looked down at her own partner.

"Please." She whispered to it. "If you don't want to fuse, at least talk to me. …Let me know you're there."

When no answer came, she grew impatient. "Answer me you stupid tie!"

"…Finally." She heard it laugh. "I was waiting for that side of you to show."

As Krocheya continued to give Jaune his gift, Weiss and her partner were now having a heart to heart.

With Ruby and co

"This is the hardest thing I've ever fought so far!" Ruby said as she ducked the black head of the snake.

"It doesn't even have any blind spots!" Yang said, jumping over the white one's head. "These two are just too good!"

"I think it's technically one." Blake said, dislodging from the middle after failing to cut it in half. Her katana and chain weren't helpful since the snakes had kept slithering out of the binds.

"This isn't ending well!" Ruby said, as the three were now in the center where the two heads were now circling them like vultures. "Anyone see a way out of this?"

"None." Both girls answered, lowering their weapons in despair. Ruby could feel herself shaking and getting misty eyed as she felt like this was her end.

"Where's this mist coming from?" Blake said, looking around seeing the whole gym being covered in a mist. Ruby blinked as she saw that what Blake had said was true. "And why does it smell so sweet?"

"Do you guys feel a little shaky?" Yang asked.

As the girls looked down, they saw a glowing circle surrounding them. Before they could brace themselves, they were propelled into the air and out of the center of the two snakeheads.

"We're alive!" Ruby said, falling to her knees.

Looking to the Taijitu, they were astounded to see a huge mist covering it as circles of light had kept appearing in random places with a blur passing through the beast. As the mist cleared, they saw a streak of white hair before a new blur took it's place and started dealing it's own damage.

"Switch!" Came a familiar voice as it skidded to a halt beside them.

The person who was next to them was Weiss, only she was a lot paler than how she usually was and glowing while wearing a skirt similar to a snowflake and her hair tie was in the fashion of a snow crown. In her hands was a rapier that looked extremely sharp.

"Weiss?" Ruby said, looking at her in awe.

"I hope you don't mind that we took the spotlight for a bit." She said, giving them a bright smile.

"So that means…" Looking to the Taijitu, they saw a new mist covering it. For some odd reason the snake couldn't get past the mist like it was locked in it.

"Show off." Weiss muttered with a smirk seeing fire and lightning pop out a few times, before turning to Blake. "Wanna help get rid of this thing?"

Nodding her head, Blake and Gaol had readied themselves. From the sounds of things, the Taijitu was getting weak and tired.

As the mist started to dissipate, Jaune had jumped out to land next to Weiss before she and Blake jumped in themselves. Yang had took note of the long pointy ears and the opal eyes.

Summoning a glyph, Weiss propelled the two of them head first into the center of the Grimm.

"Bon appétit, Ein!" She shouted targeting the white head.

"Bottoms up, Gaol!" Blake smirked as Gaol had elongated itself to form a jungle cat's head.

As Gaol ate the snakehead, Blake turned to see Weiss having Ein freeze the other and shatter it into pieces before sucking it up like a vacuum.

Ruby's apartment –After school

After that was all done, Ruby and co had gone entered their class extremely late and tired. They had all gotten off lightly with a scolding, but were able to head home without any detention. As they reached her apartment, Ruby had instantly sat the two down to talk about their transformations.

"You guys were incredible!" She said with stars in her eyes, while looking them over. "At first, we were like 'We can take it.' But then we were all like 'Oh no! We're done for.' Then you guys showed up and were like fwaaaaa, hyaaaa, waaaaaaah."

The two giggled at her rendition of their battle.

"I'm still awestruck at how awesome your transformations look." Yang told the two. "You too Blake. It's like all three of you got the better end of the style department."

"We did spend a lot more time with our symbiotes." Blake said, scratching Gaol affectionately to it's delight. "And like Crimson had explained before: We're also very compatible with one another."

"But we're compatible too." Duster said on Yang's hand. "Ma Yang is love, Ma Yang is life!"

"Aww." Yang cooed, patting Duster with Clip. "I love you guys too."

"Give it time, Yang." Crimson started. "Soon, your transformation and ours will have changes."

"Like when you absorbed Adam's gun and ate all those Nevermore?" Ruby asked, still liking the perks her scythe kept getting. It could now shoot fireworks at a high velocity and fly like a witch's broom. "…If we ate enough King Taijitu, would Crescent Rose get dual blades?"

"Like I said, Ruby." Her cloak said, wrapping itself around her tighter. "Give it time. If I manage to give birth without my offsprings running off like the last two, then you may start gaining more power."

"Viva la revolution you ole coot!" Duster taunted it's parent.

"You're not the boss of us." Clip supported it's twin.

"Pfft. Symbiotes." Krocheya scoffed, floating above them. "Even their children are rude, obnoxious, and disrespectful."

"Why don't you buzz off you naked coward?" The group had blushed at Crimson's words. "Go hide in another hole while everyone else fights."

"Well at least I do have a body you flat, undesirable, filthy rag!" The owners had separated from their partners as the impending argument had risen.

As the parent, children, and fairy bickered amongst themselves, Ruby and Yang had asked the three to transform one more time before Jaune and Weiss had to go to their respective homes.

Nodding at the request, the two sisters had a fun time looking them over from Jaune's opal eyes, to Blake's cat ears, down to Weiss's snowflake skirt and crown. This had given the siblings an idea of how they want their next transformation to look like.

Elsewhere

"That's going to be a problem." A guy in a wheelchair said, rewinding the video he recorded on his phone. "I can't believe those five didn't notice someone was filming them the whole time."

"Don't worry." A female voice said behind him. "Give it a few more weeks and we'll have power far greater than what we're seeing now. We're the descendants after all. It's our birth right."

END


AN: Ooooh. New terms and new powers to behold. If you're wondering about the fairy moveset: Yes, I based some of it from a certain pokemon, including some tutor moves.

And if you think that Ruby is being underpowered while everyone else is stronger than her: You'll see what happens. This is still just the beginning.

And if you're all wondering when the rest of Team JNPR will step in: …Soon. Real soon. MWAAHAHHAHA! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Anyways

Next time on Unthinkable Growth:

"Is she still chasing us?"

"Duck!"

"If it's not a symbiote, what is it?"

"Just do it!"


OMAKE

"Blake." Yang said at the kitchen table with Ruby sitting beside her. "The two of us have been talking and …"

"And what?" The teen asked with a raised brow.

"We think you have a problem?" Ruby said slowly to not offend their friend.

"What do you mean?" She said feeling insulted. "Is it about the whole folding the toilet tissues in triangles? There's nothing wrong with that."

"That's not it." Ruby shook her head.

"It's about me drinking from straight from the milk carton, isn't it?" She said, sure of herself.

"You've been what?" Yang said, not liking the new info she had to file away for later. "No! We're talking about your violin problem!"

After getting her part-time job, one of her co-workers who was falling on hard times had a garage sale where Blake got a used electric violin in good condition for a bargained price of one hundred fifty Lien. Her roommates were happy for her and were relieved that she was courteous enough to ask whether her playing would be disturbing them before she did play.

"I don't see any problem." Blake said, crossing her hands. "No one has been complaining about the noise."

"Your problem is that you're taking your violin everywhere you go in the apartment." Yang argued. "I know I saw you take it with you into the bathroom."

"The acoustics are nice in there." Blake defended her reason.

"You have it right there on your lap." Ruby said, pointing to the violin sitting on her lap.

"If we got another chair, I'd just put it on there." She said with a pout.

It was only after the air got humid in the apartment and her violin started getting mold on it that Blake had started leaving it in it's case.
