Watch it burn...

...

At first, they felt nothing. Both Jaune and Ruby had their eyes squeezed shut, waiting for something, anything, to let them know the GB was working. But there was nothing. Then, all at once, it hit them like a bullet train.

Ecstasy.

That was the only way to describe it. Their body's tingled as a sensation of pure euphoria flowed through their veins. For the first few seconds, it was almost mind numbing.

Ruby couldn't stop the small squeak from escaping her lips. Jaune didn't make a sound, however his body trembled against his will, every part of him was shaking. But they hadn't felt the full force of effects. Now, along with the euphoric feeling, something else coursed through them.

Energy. Pure, unbridled energy. Ruby began trembling like Jaune, but it was not because of the ecstasy. It was because she could no longer stay still.

They wanted to act on this energy. They needed to act on this energy. Needed to run, needed to jump, needed to scream. Had to. Had to hit, had to kick, had to hurt something. Anything.

But wait, what if they hurt someone?

Both the leaders couldn't stay still now. They didn't want to stay still. Why would they do that when they could use this energy for more exciting activities? They had to do something, their teeth were starting to grind. Control was fleeting, and they felt themselves slipping away. Why were they holding back? It'd be much more fun to let go. Ozpin said to embrace this feeling, who were they to defy their head master? They had to follow orders.

The second they embraced the bloodthirsty feeling, their eyes shot open. If one were to look at them closely, they would see the small flecks of red that now dotted their iris'. Malicious smiles decorated their lips, and their shoulders lowered in a sort of Grimm-like battle stance. They no longer seemed human. They appeared to be savages.

Ruby moved first, advancing towards one of the computerized Deathstalkers at an astonishingly quick pace. Normally, Ruby was fast, maybe the fastest at Beacon. But now, she was like lightening. You could barely even see her as a blur. Not only was she faster, but agile too.

When one of the Deathstalkers attempted to swing one of its pincer's at her, she raised up her hands and caught it. Ruby stood right in front of Grimm's eyes, holding its claw above her head and staring down at the creature. The look in her eyes displayed amusement as she ripped the claw off the Deathstalker. Even computerized Grimm will screech in pain.

The scorpian-like creature scuttled back a few meters, swinging around its remaining pincer in anger. Ruby watched with wicked glee, and was about to go finish it off, but a certain blonde knight stepped in front of her.

"My turn." Jaune's voice was harsher than usual, yet he was still smiling. Like Ruby, he found delight in watching the Grimm's pain. Cracking his knuckles, Jaune prepared to launch himself at the injured Deathstalker.

"Back off Arc!" Ruby snapped and shoved him to the ground. "This one's mine, get your own!" The blonde teen pushed himself up and grabbed the younger girl by the arm.

"I said its my turn." He growled lowly. But Ruby would have none of it. She yanked her arm away and was about to yell at him, when they were both ambushed by the uninjured Deathstalker.

Jaune was hit in the stomach by the the creatures large claws, and he sunk to the ground. But it smacked Ruby in the side with its long tail, sending the small girl flying across the room. She landed face first on the floor and didn't move.

The two Deathstalkers surrounded Jaune, who was kneeling and clutching his mid torso. The injured Grimm raised up its tail and swung it in a downward direction, the golden stinger on the end aimed for Jaune. But it never hit him.

At the last second, he had reached out and caught its tail before it could reach him. Jaune looked up, blood trickled down the side of his mouth and his aura flared around him. He was angry, but he still smiled. Gripping the area just below the stinger firmly, Jaune pulled with all his strength. There was a squelching sound as he ripped half off half it's tail.

The Grimm cried out when another part of its body was removed. But at the moment, Jaune didn't care. He held the half of the scorpion creatures tail at its lowest point, wound up, and hit the Grimm with its own limb. The force of his swing was so strong, it launched the creature back. The computerized Grimm hit the wall of the training room, then dissipated.

Jaune grinned as he wiped the blood away from his mouth. Now to deal with the other one...

"I'm gonna kill you!" The blonde knight turned around quickly, but the threat had not been directed at him. That was plainly obvious when Ruby appeared in front of the remaining Deathstalker and delivered a strong kick to its multiple eyes. The Grimm scurried back, Ruby's kick distorting its vision and cracking its armor.

Jaune grinned and jogged up beside her. "Did you have a nice nap, Rose?" He asked her in a mocking tone.

Ruby turned and shot him an annoyed glare. Now that she was looking at him, he could see she had multiple scratches decorating her face and a bruise on her cheek. All were results of her hitting the ground when she'd been thrown. "Wow, you're face is even more messed up than before." He teased. In response, Ruby punched his wounded torso, making Jaune wince.

"Shut up, Arc." She spat. Jaune straitened up again, grumbled a few curse words, and faced the Deathstalker.

"Gotta plan?" He asked her, his body ached to advance on the target and rip out each limb one by one.

"Yea," Ruby replied, her smile resembling that of a psychopath. "Make it suffer." Her tone displayed her excitement.

"Nice plan." Jaune agreed. At the same time, they both advanced towards the Grimm.

Had it not been computerized, the Deathstalker would indeed have suffered horribly. The two team leaders beat it savagely, attacking it in a blurry of fists and kicks whenever there was an opening. They stopped before it could die, and began ripping off its limbs. They started with the legs. Originally, the Deathstalker had eight, four legs on each side. But Jaune and Ruby maniacally tore off two from each side, leaving it with only four remaining. But the creature was not dead yet, and could still slowly move around. So then they tore off its pincers. Each leader grabbed one claw, and pulled them out at the same time. Finally, the creature died and dissipated.

"Aw, it died already?" Ruby pouted, obviously disappointed. Both she and Jaune had a few extra bruises on their body from when the Deathstalker had gotten in a lucky shot or two.

"Well, all fun things must come to an end eventually." Jaune told her, joining in her downcast mood.

"That was very interesting." Came a calm voice. Looking over, the students saw both Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch step out from behind the transparent barrier. "I'd say the GB was a success."

"Better than success." Ruby said, pride lining her words. "We kicked ass!" Normally, the young girl wouldn't dare utter any words of foul language, but now she couldn't care less.

"Does this mean we get to keep training with it?" Jaune asked after he and Ruby high-fived.

Ozpin nodded. "Yes. I will allow you to continue training with the GB. From here on out we will be focusing mostly on control." He paused for a moment. "And remember, it is to be used for training only, unless I say otherwise."

Ruby waved him off. "Yeah yeah, whatever." She said with a bored voice before her eyes lit up again. "Yang is gonna be so jealous when I tell her-"

"No." The headmaster cut her off.

"No?" Ruby repeated.

"No. You may not tell anyone about the GB. Not even your teammates." Ozpin instructed, his voice turning serious. Both the leaders groaned in annoyance.

"Awww, why not?" Jaune asked.

"Because I said so." The headmaster said, his eyes narrowing. "And if one of you decides to ignore this rule I will take the GB away from both of you."

The students both crossed their arms and sighed. They resembled children who had just been told they weren't allowed to brag about their new toy. Reluctantly, they both grumbled something along the likes of 'fine'.

"Very good." Ozpin said with a nod. "I suggest you teo head to the infirmary. You both are going to feel very sore once the GB wears off." He advised.

"I feel perfectly fine." Jaune scoffed.

"Me too." Ruby added. "In fact, I feel better than eve-" Before she could even finish her sentence, both Ruby and Jaune fainted, their bodies collapsing on the ground.

It was all gone. Everything. The energy, the ecstasy, the euphoria. Gone. It hadn't slowly seeped away, no. It was as if someone pressed a button and drained them of everything, leaving only shallow-breathing husks behind.

Ozpin and Glynda quickly ran over to the students and bent down next to them. "They still have pulses. Glynda, call the medic team immediately!" Ozpin commanded, his voice ringing with urgency. Glynda nodded, and quickly sent the order on her tablet.

"I don't understand..." The blonde woman mumbled as she felt the surface of Ruby's forehead. She was burning up. Glynda moved her hand to Jaune's, he also had a high fever. "Professor Ozpin, what's happening?" She asked, her voice was uncharacteristically filled with genuine concern.

"I don't know." The headmaster admitted. "The GB has been tested multiple times, but this has never occurred. They shouldn't-" His next sentence was cut short when Ruby's eyes shot open, and her body began to violently convulse.

"She's having a seizure!" Glynda exclaimed and attempted to hold the girl's head down. Exactly half a second later, Jaune made a 'hrrrk!' sound before he too began convulsing. Ozpin quickly put his hands on the boy's head and held it down best he could.

"Where are the medics?!"


A/N: I would first like to apologize for this chapter's quality, especially the fight scenes. I had the scene completed when I was typing it on my computer. But two days ago my computer hit me with the Blue-Screen-Of-Death. Needless to say, I am pretty pissed, I lost this chapter and the chapters for all my other stories. But, because so many people followed this story, I really wanted to get a new chapter up, and I quickly typed this on my phone. So, I apologize for crappy fight scene. The next ones will be better.

Next, I'd like to address the questions I've received about the harem. First off: the harem will not appear for a few more chapters. The reason for this being that I would like to set this story up and have a good foundation before I add that in. Sorry If that's not what some of you wanted to hear, but you'll only have to wait a bit longer.

Second question: Is the harem going to be separate or shared? The harem will be separate for Jaune and Ruby, separate meaning it will have different members for each harem. Who are the members? You'll just have to wait to find out.

Lastly, I'd like to thank everyone who has followed, favorited and commented. I did not expect that many people to be interested in this. You guys are what keeps me writing. Without you guys's support I would be a lazy bum who watched tv all day. Thanks again, and happy spring break!
