Chapter 5: Dark Witch vs Ice Queen
Warren opened his eyes and looked at the blank white ceiling above him. After initiation he became a solo team with no name so at the moment he was all alone in his dorm room. But Warren was used to it since he only had his sister and best friend to keep him company, and back then it was extremely hard for Jeanne to visit her friends since they were the Outcasts. For now Warren got up and brushed his teeth and then quickly donned his school uniform.
Warren was a bit uncomfortable wearing a school uniform. Hell, it was the first time Warren ever went to human school. Well that's probably because when you're a Witch who sells your soul to a demo and is secretly apart of an ancient Witch Clan of Dark Magic practitioners. When your apart of something like that, one does not simply go to human school.
Deeming that he was ready to go Warren grabbed his book bag filled with his books and headed straight for class. "Monster hunting college. Something I could live by." Though basically getting paid to kill the Creatures of Grimm is kind of ripping off Warren's friend Dante. Yes it has been awhile since they spoke but Dante and Trish did used to stop by time after time. Warren's first class was professor teaching Grimmology and then it was Dr. Oobleck teaching Remnant history. And their were plenty more but Warren didn't want to list them off because they were incredibly boring.
But Warren's favorite class which he now finds enjoyable was the class taught by professor Goodwitch. She teaches battle classes. Which means that through out the entire class period Warren gets to fight people and he gets a good grade for it. Sitting in the stands Warren had been watching several matched going on. The one that caught his eyes in a bad way was Jaune fighting an opponent and lost within five minutes. The one that caught him in a good way was the fiery red haired amazon warrior known as Pyrrha Nikos taking on an entire team by herself, putting Phyrrha Warren's 'I wanna fight you list'.
"Okay students we have time for one more match. Is their anyone who like to volunteer before I personally select the students?" professor Goodwitch asked her students holding her scroll clutched to her chest with her left hand and her pitch black riding crop in her left. To everyone's surprise it was the white haired Weiss Schnee that boldly stood up, wanting to face a worthy opponent. "And who is it you wish to fight, Ms. Schnee?" The blonde haired sorceress asked the Huntress whilst pushing up her glasses.
Without a moments hesitation the white haired Huntress pointed a finger at Warren who was sitting at the end of the bleachers well over a few feet away from everyone else. Glynda's attention shifted to the raven haired Umbra who had his arms crossed and sat their without speaking a word. "Do you accept the challenge Mr. BlackRose?" she asked her voice seemed almost hollow and monotone. Weiss and Warren stepped down from the bleachers and went to their respective sides of the arena. Weiss was already in her white and blue tinted battle skirt while Warren was still wearing his school uniform. "Your supposed to change into your battle armor you dolt!" she said trying to publicly shame him. Warren gave out a sigh and let his hair envelope him and form his Umbran Combat Suit.
Everyone was astonished on what they saw and how his Umbran Combat Suit was formed. Blake on the other hand was amazed. "So that's how that works" she spoke in her low and monotone voice as she and the rest of team RWBY watch the match unfold. Weiss drew her multiple dust round rapier Myrtenaster. Seeing as how she's using a rapier Warren decided to try out his new three headed scythe: Malice.
Everyone saw the three headed scythe and their eyes widened at the sight of it. Not to mention the powerful dark aura it was emanating. Professor Goodwitch as always acted as referee and took her place a in the center of the two fighters. "Weiss Schnee vs Warren BlackRose. In order to win is by two ways. Either admitting surrender or by knockout. Although admitting surrender is preferred. There is only one rule here. And that's no low sick cheap moves. Remember we are training to be Huntsman. We are the Protectors of the people, and we must always be honest and truthful. No cheap moves allowed."
Weiss stared at Warren with a cold and calculative piercing gaze. Warren in turn took out a Bloody Rose lollipop and put it in his mouth. Warren's body glowed a pinkish hue his energy seeming to have increased. "Let's tango!" Warren called out as he charged at Weiss and swung his scythe blade. Weiss used Myrtenaster to block the attack and did a twirl for a side slash. Warren paired the attack and did another from below, knocking her in the air. Warren quickly followed after her in the air and gave her a good downward Wicked Weave punch by Madama Kephri into the ground.
Warren safely glided down and slung Malice over his shoulders. Weiss, by some miracle got up with not so much as a scratch. She used her rapier to prop her up. Even though she showed no physical signs of being injured. The way her face was contorted with exhaustion and pain said otherwise. "Why is it that I feel so weak and tired. Ergh! What did you do to me!?" The Schnee heiress cried at the Umbra Witch. Warren decided since he didn't see this fight lasting much longer he decided to tell her.
"What I was fighting with is my three headed scythe called Malice it has the ability to drain one's life force or aura and power up the scythe to make it more powerful. The effects are only temporary but this weapon really comes in handy if you fight the kind of things I fight." Weiss looked at Warren with disbelief. "No one should ever have such a powerful weapon like that. How dare he try and cheat me. I'll make him pay!" Weiss once again returned to her full height and pointed her rapier at Warren.
"Let's continue the fight. But don't use your scythe weapon. That's considered a low and cheap move to take someone's aura without them knowing." Warren rolled his eyes and scoffed. "Fine but just so you know I won't pull my punches!" Warren stashed away Malice and summoned his twin demon set swords infused with the soul of Shinigami the God of Death. Wielding Shinigami Warren charged at Weiss with her doing the same. They clashed swords repeatedly. It was no longer about power, but about skill with the sword. As the two Hunters each attacked with a flurry of sword swings the energy and shock waves emitted seem to have scared the students.
Even Glynda Goodwitch had her riding crop out in case something horrible happened. Deciding that now it was a good time Weiss came up with a quick and effective plan and went to put it in motion. Weiss summoned the Schnee family glyph behind her and it pulled her through with it's own gravity now placing her near the edge of the arena. Weiss smirked as she activated her semblance one more and summoned orbs of magical power.
Warren knew what was about to happen so as quick as lightning he once again stored Shinigami in another pocket dimension and summoned his next weapon. This time was his thorn crested whip Aldra in both hands and attached to his feet. Warren gave out a haughtily laugh as he cracked both his whips and did the 'bring it on gesture to her'. This greatly angered the Schnee as her expression became from one of cockiness to one of fury and pure hatred. "How the hell can he be so flippant about this fight. Does he think I shouldn't be taken seriously?"
Weiss thinking like this only strengthen her resolve. "Eat this asshole!" The Schnee cursed as she u leashed multiple blasts of blue magical energy all swirling and zipping towards Warren at incredible speed. Warren began running towards the blasts with for once was a look of seriousness. As the nearest beam came before him he quickly dodged and activated Witch Time slowing down everything and every body in the room. But that's not all. Warren also activated another transformation corresponding to the Beast Within.
Warren transformed into black and blue flying scarab beetles. One beetle in particular was the carrier of Warren's Umbran Watch commanding the swarm of beetles towards a single destination. The beetles zoomed past Weiss' attack and once again reformed Warren right behind Weiss. The purple tint of Witch Time disappeared and the magic blasts attacked where Warren originally once stood. Weiss turned around in shock. But she was unable to say anything because Warren quickly launched Aldra at her and the whip smacked her in the face knocking her across the floor.
Everyone in the room gasped. No one ever thought the high and mighty Weiss Schnee would be beaten this badly by the newbie with the weird and mysterious powers. As Weiss once again stood she seemed to have a single stream of tears flowing from her eye. Her face was obscured due to her wild hair. "The nerve of you. I'll crush you where you stand. You filthy commoner that has no place in the world. I'm a lady and more importantly I'm a Schnee." Weiss once again stood. Her combat skirt in tatters and her face covered in dirt and scratches. "Still have some fight left in you? This would make for an epic grand finale!" Weiss was shocked how Warren was still so flippant and rude. "How dare you treat me like this. How can you fight me and still be such a horrible excuse for a human being!?" Warren looked at her and blinked twice. "Well, Ice Queen. In case you haven't noticed…" Warren began as he rushed at her and began weaving a graceful attacks like a dance of whip lashes at Weiss so fast and ferociously that she couldn't even move, only be tossed around like a rag doll.
For good measure Warren did a back flip in the air and delivered a Wicked Weave kick that knocked Weiss through the air, but she managed to summon enough strength to summon a glyph to stop her fall and have her float in the air. Warren looked at the board above the arena for the first time and saw that Weiss' aura was on the last line of red. Warren looked at her as she struggled to get up. "Do you want to know why I hate people like you?" He asked the white haired heiress.
She raised her head and looked at Warren confused. "People like you with a high social standing. You think you can control anyone and pick on the weak and helpless. Me and my sister were ridiculed because we were Outcasts. We were the black sheep's of are Clan. But we rose from the top. We fought like hell against them to prove are right to be known. Your just like them. Your just like her. Just as we have faced many brutal battles then I'll make you feel the same."
The battle had reached its climax and now it was time for Warren to finish her off. Warren opened his mouth to cast a spell in Enochian. "NANBA DE CANILU!" He shouted in Enochian. His hair once again grew and entered a portal to Inferno. Another portal appeared and out came a frog like demon wearing a jeweled crown with skulls and it seemed to have purple skin and razor red nails. This Infernal demon was Baal: The Empress of the Fathoms.
The frog took one look at Weiss and licked it's lips as it's tongue lashed out at Weiss and wrapped around her and Baal began thrashing her around the arena before devouring her for a few seconds. Afterwards Baal spit her out and retreated to Inferno. Warren looked at Weiss and then to the rest of the class. "Someone might want to get her to the infirmary. Trust me she's going to need it." And with those words he opened a portal to Purgatorio and left the staff paramedics get Weiss Schnee to the infirmary.
All of team RWBY went to chase after W. As every student filed out of the classroom the only B of team RWBY remained. The words he said. About him being unequal in his home village with his sister and how they were discriminated. And how they had to fight to survive. "He's just like me" she whispered to herself as she looked at the demolished arena. She closed her eyes and let out a sigh as s jumped down from the bleachers and looked at her shadow. To many she's wearing a bow. But if you look at her shadow her bow looks exactly like her cat ears.
To be continued…
A/N: NANBA DE CANILU translation means thorns of blood. Every Witch has their very own incantation for things so I decided to make Warren's own. I used the incantation thorns of blood because Baal's tongue has multiple thorns embedded in it. And that has to be pretty bloody. The next part of this chapter contains Warren, Weiss, and Blake development I might even put moments in for both of them to help with the poll.
