A True Monster Part 4
It wasn't a really good day, for Mikhail…..
Somehow, Jaune and Pyrrha had an argument and it came out that the blonde faked his transcriptions to swindle his way into Beacon.
And the worst part was that Jaune was now fraternizing with Team CRDL.
Pyrrha tried to talk with him, yet the Arc declined to talk or any help that was offered.
She didn't know how to handle the situation and talked with the only person she trusted more than the others with this matter…..Mikhail.

Team JNPR's room
"Then he told me that he used fake transcriptions so that he could attend in Beacon."
Mikhail didn't say anything he just looked in a calm, yet stoic way.
"Mikhail?" Pyrrha tilted her head, visibly surprised by her friend's reaction "Is everything alright?"
The former dragon and leader of Team RRWBY turned around and looked through the window of Team JNPR's room. Nora and Ren were currently training and only the two of them were in the room.
"And then?"
"Jaune….he said he doesn't want any help." The red-haired girl rubbed her elbow and looked down "He doesn't want any….Jaune wants to be a hero like his father and grandfather….yet he blames himself for his weaknesses and thinks he should do this on his own.
Mikhail still showing Pyrrha his back and looking up to the shattered moon, looked calm, but within him, burned a hot flame of anger.
He liked Jaune, he was a good and nice boy but 'That is the exactly the typical asshole attitude that I really loathe…' Mikhail was angry at Jaune for different reasons, one of them was making Pyrrha and the others worry and for the others…."And now he is hanging out with Cardin and his goons?"
"Yes…." She said in a bitter tone.
'That means Cardin is blackmailing him….probably has something do to with those faked documents….' He turned around and faced Pyrrha "I try to solve it."
Pyrrha widened her eyes, hope and relief filled her mind and chest. If anyone could solve this mess then only Mikhail, yet a feeling of guilt followed, since he was now dragged into her Team's mess.
"I am sorry Mikhail." She apologized and sighed.
"For what?" He quirked an eyebrow.
"Because, I drag you now into this mess."
Mikhail turned around and rolled his eyes "Pyrrha you are my friend, Ren, Nora and Jaune, as well. Why should I not help you?
A smiled formed on the girl's face "Thank you." Pyrrha walked closer to him and then she surprised Mikhail with a kiss on his cheek.
"Whoa…thanks?"
Pyrrha giggled at Mikhail's flustered reactions.
"By the way Pyrrha?"
"Yeah?"
"Is my ass really that good?"
"Wha…What?" She blushed furiously.
"Coco said that I have the best ass, she ever pinched and smaked."
"WHAT!?"

'Something isn't right, everything is not fitting.' Mikhail was deep in thoughts, while walking back to his room 'There is no way, that a twit like Jaune could deceive Ozpin, one of the strongest Huntsman in the History of Remnant, with faked transcriptions…..' Then suddenly something came to his mind 'In the first place, how did he get them?' His eyes widened, by having a sudden insight 'Now I understand it….whoa!' Mikhail stopped hid around a corner, when he saw Ruby and Jaune talking.

Mikhail smiled 'I am so proud of you sis.'
Ruby talked with Jaune, who looked even more down than before.
She talked how, Mikhail never wanted to be the leader, yet he accepted it. How her brother always helped them out and tried to make everyone happy, yeah even he had some flaws and weakness, but that makes him human….as the humans say….
But she also told Jaune, that no matter what, how hopeless the situation was, Mikhail always tried his best and learned from his mistakes and that Jaune should learn from them, too.
"Thanks Ruby."
"No problem Jaune." Ruby waved at him "Good night." And went back to the room.
Mikhail smiled 'Thank you sis, I love you.' Yet his proud and loving thoughts were interrupted, when Jaune's scroll rang.
"Hey it's your buddy Cardin. I know you're probably busy with that dust project I gave,"
Mikhail's eyes narrowed and continued to listen.
"Buuuut I'm gonna need you to go out and get me a bag or rapier wasps."
"Gha!" Jaune gasped.
Meanwhile Mikhail scowled 'Rapier Wasps?'
"And make sure that they got some reaaaly big and nasty stingers. It's important, so don't screw this up."
Jaune collapsed his scroll and sighed. He walked away from his room and turned around…to see nothing. Mikhail was already gone….

Outside the dorms
Mikhail needed more information, so he used the advantage that Team CDRL's room was under a small roof.
'Hmmm, this is their room…..Pyrrha didn't know this and Cardin must have heard their talk…..' He used his enhanced senses and listened to their talks.
"Man Cardin," That was Russel "I got an A for my essay!"
"Yeah," Carding laughed "Yeah thanks to our little Jaune, find us some good errand-boy."
Sky chuckled "By the way, how did you get him to do everything you want?"
"Well, I have my ways, but now look at these."
Mikhail could hear the buzzing of insects.
"Are these Rapier Wasp!?" Dove pointed out.
"Oh yeah, with these babies here, my master plan will be completed."
"How?" Russel asked.
"Patients, patients. Let's just say, with it, I will teach that know-it-all redhead and that Lizard Boy,"
'Lizard Boy!?'
"A lesson they will never forget."
Mikhail heard enough "I need to talk with Ozpin."

Ozpin's Office
"Mikhail my boy, what can I do for you?" Ozpin, was even this late at night, still in his office.
The former dragon sighed "I am sorry for bothering you, to this hour, sir."
He shook his head "I am always ear for my students, so what brings you here?" He raised his mug and took a sip from it.
Mikhail sat down, he took a deep breath and looked at the headmaster "Sir….why did you give Jaune fake transcriptions?"
Ozpin suddenly froze yet he didn't change his tone "I don't….."
"Sir," He looked sternly at the headmaster "There is no way, that someone like you is being deceived by fake documents…..besides I put one and one together and, well….."
Ozpin put his mug back on his desk, a smile formed on his face "Formidable, Mikhail, formidable."
The former dragon quirked his eyebrow "Sir, why?"
Beacon's headmaster leaned back on his chair "Why, indeed." He smiled "Why are you hiding that you write books, under the name Michael Peyt?"
Mikhail twitched.
"Or that you have some questionable relations with criminals and information brokers."
Mikhail twitched even more.
"Or having an immoral sexual relationship with two female twins,"
Now his face became red.
"WE ARE….." Mikhail, red as roses, stood up and yelled….he noticed his behavior and sat down immediately "Melanie and Militia are just friends….."
Ozpin raised an eyebrow.
"Well…..with benefits." He looked away.
The headmaster sighed "I will not go deeper into one of my student's private life….." He grabbed his mug "But what would your mother, Summer, say?"
"Ugh!"
"Or your father?"
"Gah!"
"Or your beloved sisters?"
"Stop!"
"Or Ms. Nikos, Ms. Belladonna, Ms. Schnee, Ms. Scarlatina and Ms. Adel?"
"Wait…I understand Pyrrha….but why Blake, Weiss, Velvet and Coco!?"
Again, an eyebrow was raised.
"What?" Mikhail tilted his head.
"What about Ms. Schnee's sister?"
Mikhail pale skin, lost all little color it already had and his eyes and mouth were wide open "Oh god, please not Winter!?"
Ozpin chuckled "Maybe I should also mention….."
"STOP, please Professor Ozpin!" Mikhail hammered his head on the desk.
"You see, Mikhail, my boy, I know many things. Yet I must say Qrow isn't a real good example for being a role model…since he sold you out to…."
"STOP!" Mikhail, beaten, raised his face "I just wanted to ask you, why you did such a thing!?"
Ozpin sighed "You should know it better."
"Sir?"
"Mikhail, do you know what the difference was, between hunters from our past history and the one's today?" He narrowed his eyes "In the past, there weren't any combat schools and lessons, to train the young ones. Our hero's became stronger, because they hadn't any choice. It was either, dying together with everything they loved and cherished or continue to live and protect them and help the next generation."
"Sir, I know Jaune has potential but right now, how he is, he is a danger to himself and others. One wrong step, one wrong decisions and death could follow."
"Yes, indeed. Yet I know, no I am sure, that Mr. Arc could become a strong warrior and huntsman, like his father, grandfather and great-grandfather."
Mikhail looked down "And yet, there is the problem with this. Team CDRL."
The headmaster put his mug again on the table "I already know from Mr. Winchester's….distasteful actions."
The former dragon sighed "Cardin will try to hurt me and Pyrrha," Ozpin reacted slightly shocked about the new revelations "He asked Jaune to get him Rapier Wasps, he will probably use them on us, on the trip to Forever Fall, tomorrow.
Ozpin rubbed his brows "This is rather…..problematic."
"Indeed." Mikhail nodded "We cannot say that Cardin anything, since he is only blackmailing Jaune probably using him as later also as a scapegoat. An Arc, with fake transcriptions, entering Beacon, what uproar it will cause? What makes it even more badly is the fact, that Beacon's headmaster sent him those faked documents."
"That is probably not necessary, to worry about that."
"Eh, what?" Mikhail looked perplex at his mother's former teacher "What do you mean."
"Well," He leaned forward, folding his hands together "The moment, Mr. Arc held those transcriptions in his hands….from and 'unknown source', I contacted his father and another influential member of the Arc family, who will deal with the backlashes, if something happens and everything will come out."
"But what about you…" Suddenly Mikhail's eyes widened "'Unknown source', you planned this from the beginning!?" Now he understood! Ozpin took care, of his tracks….probably a long time ago and he also planned this with the Arc family.
"Yes. Yet there is a dilemma I should take care of. Unfortunately, a group students of my school are planning to hurt their fellow students ….oh would only a responsible person, who happens to attend this Academy too, take care of this problem, but without any permanent damages.
Mikhail smirked, Ozpin was brilliant. If Jaune's secret would come out, the backlashes would be dealt with. But he couldn't personally do something about the matter, with the blackmailing. So why not asking a student, especially a male one, to take care of that problem? A fight between male students, would be labeled with the saying 'Boys will be boys'.
"Sir, I must say, you are evil, but in a good way."
"I don't know why I deserve such a compliment? I just talked, with one of my most trusted students, about my concerns.
"Well," He stood up "I should go. It is already bed time."
"Of course, take care."
Mikhail stopped in his tracks; he turned around "Before I go,"
Ozpin didn't say anything; he just looked stoically at his student.
"Okay, okay. But Uncle Qrow, said to me, as long as I am young, as I should enjoy the life a little bit.
The headmaster raised an eyebrow.
Well, Mikhail never knew how to build, sexual relationships. His sisters hadn't any, even Yang and his father wasn't also really someone who had much…luck….the only people he really knew…
There was only Qrow and Zero/Rose…..
'Okay…maybe Uncle Qrow isn't really a real good role model…and maybe I should stop to emulate after Zero.'
Chapter is a little bit short, so sorry guys, was a little bit busy….
For Mikhail's pairing, don't worry, the twin sisters aren't his girlfriends and they will never be.
Mikhail stated himself that he wanted to be like Zero, who happens to have sexual relationship with many people.
I don't want to make and innocent Mikhail, we talk about a Drakengard character, meaning, blood, sex, death and again sex plays a big part in this game.
And I think, this refines the story a bit. Well it is also rated m for mature.
Zero was not a saint and Mikhail can't be always pure, he also didn't understand anything, since Zero protected him, from being defiled by Cent and Octa, who happened to be really interested to know, if Zero had sex with Mikhail, when he was a dragon.
The English translation, didn't do a good job, since Dito asked, if Mikhail sleeps with Zero, which also could be understood, by having sex. (Well again Japanese to English translation is a tough job.)
I know freaky!?
Of course Zero denied it, since it would be similar to incest.
The freakiest part, was, when I red something, somewhere, and I don't if it is true, that Michael and Zero, had probably a closer relationship then you could imagine.
But this information can be false, but also be true, since Caim and Angelus, were also in love with each other.
So my dear readers, I hope you like this chapter….then soon we….bzzzzzzzzzzzzzztttttttttttttttttttttttt
