Chapter 5

The First Step pt. 2

Jason flew through the air. He strapped his shield to his feet as he crashed through trees feet first. He lands and slides a few feet then stops. He unstraps his shield from his feet and clamps it on the bracer on his left arm. He quickly pulls out his sword and looks around.

'Nothing here, good, time to find the relics… and possibly a partner.' he thinks to himself as he runs. He hears explosion in the distance, 'Guess some of us have already encountered Grimm.' he thought. Just as he finishes his thought, three Ursas popped out of the trees.

Without slowing down, he cleaved all three of them in half with one quick swipe with his sword. The Grimm pieces fell on the ground and turned into black smoke.

He kept running, until more twelve Ursas popped up.

"Aw, come on what are the chances!" he groaned.

As the first Ursa charged him, he cross slashed it with his sword then rolled to the next Ursa and stabbed it. As he turned two more Ursas smashed into him. He rose his shield just in time to block one, but the other ones paw crashed into him. He activated his semblance which caused the Ursa to reel back in pain clutching its paw to its chest.

He then dashed forward and sliced through it he then used that momentum to kick another Ursa in the face, breaking its skull and killing it. Then riding of that momentum he hurled his shield at another. It crashed into that Ursa knocking it on its back. He then ran over and stabbed it in the belly.

He felt a heavy force slam into the back of him. Next thing he knew he was flying towards a tree. He slams into it causing it to splinter. He lands and rolls then turns around with a strange grey glow around him.

"Alright, so... plan b."

He then charged at all the Ursas with a yell. He ducked under ones paw and slashed it on the chest. Then he kicked it into another Ursa, he jumps in the air and stabs through the first Ursa killing the one behind him. He then spins around and slashes the seventh one.

As the seventh Ursa fell he looked at the rest, he charges but before he can reach them he hears the jingle of chains then all five of the Ursas lurched forward and died. Then apparently out of no where, Olivia appears with daggers in both hands, he noticed that the daggers are connected to chains that reach up into her sleeve.

"… I could have taken them." he said.

She scoffs and walks away, "Come on, we're partners now so we'll have to work together." she said.

Jason shrugs then runs after her.

'Wonder where Niko is.'

Niko

Niko falls through the air. He activates his semblance which creates a glowing green armor around him. He hits the ground in a crouch cracking the earth around him. He stands up and readies his gloves and starts to walk his semblance flickers out.

"Wonder if Jason has gotten a partner yet?" he wondered aloud.

"Welp, as long as I'm on his team I'm fine if he already found a par-" he is cut off from his thoughts as he hears a rustle from the bushes, he creeps toward the bushes with his fists raised.

He creeps closer and closer than pushes the leaves aside… and almost gets his head cleaved off by a sword. He quickly jumps back and readies his Dust gloves. When the attacker comes out of the bushes he looks up to see a familiar pair of purple eyes.

"Hey aren't you the girl who brought that gun with you to bed last night?" he said

"Why yes and 'the girl's ' name is Sonya thank you very much." Sonya shooting him a glare.

"Hey, didn't mean nothing 'bout it! Just wondering." he said.

"Uhg, come on, since I met eye contact with you we have to be partners now." she said looking annoyed.

This ticked of Niko, "Yo whats your problem, I didn't do nothing to you and you start being all bitchy on me."

" My problem, I don't have a problem, now come on!" she yelled at him.

"Alright sheesh, don't be so bossy." He grumbled

Jason

Olivia and Jason make it to the forest temple, as they approach them, they see Yang and the other Blake girl from last night.

"Looks like your friends are already there." Olivia said.

"Yeah wonder where Ruby is?" he says, "She can probably hold out on her own."

As they make it. Yang waves at them, "Hey Jason glad to see you made it!"

"Same to you." he said as he fist bumps her, "Have you seen Niko or Ruby?"

"Don't know. I hope their okay." Yang said.

"I'm sure their fine," Olivia said," for now let's choose a relic." Jason walks towards the relics.

Each one was on a podium… and they were all chess pieces.

"Huh, chess pieces, that's weird." Jason says. He inspects each chess piece carefully then he chooses a white bishop piece.

"let's pick this one. It was always my favorite peice in chess" he said. "Sure." Olivia says

"What about you guys?" he says turning back to look at Yang and Blake.

"Hmmm… how about a cute little pony?" she says as she holds a white knight piece.

"Alright," said Blake with a roll of her eye and a smile.

They suddenly hear a scream from the distance, "Oh no some girls in trouble!" Yang said, "What should we do?" Jason raises an eyebrow ' Don't think that was a girl.' He thought to himself he then hears a familiar voice shout above him. He looks up just in time to see Ruby falling from the sky yelling, "HEADS UUUUPPPP!"
