A/N: Finally! Initiation!
The POV will be in bold, be underlined, and surrounded by pluses, and will change a few times during this chapter, hope it's not too confusing.
And I have the actual paper for this one this time.
Let the story...COMMENCE!
++ Yllaster ++
"Is Oz saying something?" I asked, looking at Eden
"Probably not important." He replied, waving a hand at the coffee-loving professor.
I pulled out my blade and put Æther over my shoulder. I look at my classmates to see that they are frozen in admiration of my 800+ pound blade.
"H-How?" Eden said
"I use my semblance: I can focus all my aura at one point on my body. Like my arms, when I swing with her." I nodded towards Æther.
"That's cool, wh-" he was interrupted as the tiles shot him into the air. My tile did the same, moments later.
I was flying through the air with Æther still over my shoulder until mid-flight. Then I swung her downwards with all the force I could muster. I went rocketing straight down, towards an empty field.
Upon contact with the ground, I ripped Æther out of the earth and threw into the air, at the perfect angle so that she would fall right back into the massive sheath on my back.
I looked around the field for either other students or some Grimm, but found neither.
I began to walk in the direction of our unknown destination.
++ Eden ++
"That's cool, wh-" I was interupted by the tile under my feet shooting me into the air.
I pulled out Copiae. Instantly, she turned into Hammer form. I pushed a button near the blades.
The blades unfolded into long, triangular blades, and the handle split vertically into 4 parts, each part having a blade. The 4 parts pivoted down, held together at the base of the handle.
I grabbed Copiae at the center of the cross and spun it, slowing my descent, and slicing some branches off trees.
++ Nin ++
I stood on the tile, arms raised as if I was in a fist fight. My hook-blade gloves glistened in the harsh sun. I was focusing on my landing strategy.
A few seconds later, the tile sprung up, launching me into the air.
I soared through the air, fists extended, awaiting the contact of my hook-blades and the trunk of a tree.
I screamed at the sight of what I actually hooked into
++ Yllaster ++
I was getting closer and closer to the destination when I heard a faint whistle, followed by a scream directly behind me.
I turned to see nothing there. I then turned my head 180 degrees to see an attractive black-haired female faunus stuck into my armor.
"I-I'm so sorry! Are you okay?!"
"I am fine." I replied. She was taken aback a little by my okayness.
I saw that she could not remove herself from my armor.
"You should at least take me out on a date before you get so attached to me."
I could tell that she was trying not to laugh whilst pulling on my armor. I focused my aura on my hands and pulled her out with ease.
I then saw that the hooks were retractable, and the gloves were melded into her flesh.
That explains why she didn't just take the gloves off.
"Thanks." She said, she then went to rub her forearm - to express the awkwardness of the situation - but cut herself with her unsheathed gloves.
"Ahh!" she exclaimed.
"Are you alright?"
"Y-Yah. Yah. I'm alright." She replied, holding the bloody scratches on her chest and forearm. At that moment, she realized that she was bleeding more heavily than she thought.
I could tell that her legs were about to give in, and knelt before her, arms extended.
She fell gracefully into my arms, unconscious. My heart in my throat, I picked her up and carried her away.
++ Eden ++
My eyes were shut until Copiae struck the trunk of a thick tree.
"Gahh, finally." I breathed.
I pulled Copiae out of the tree and fell to the ground.
I transformed Copiae back to Umbrella form and began walking in the opposite direction of the cliff.
I walked for a whole two feet before I hear a scream in the distance. Expecting a fight, I transformed Copiae into hammer form and ran off towards the source of the scream.
When I finally got there, I found Yllaster carrying an unconscious girl.
I ran up to the armored boy. "You didn't do this, did you?"
"No, no, no. She did this to herself." I looked at her deep wounds and her bloody, bladed gloves.
"Alright, I believe you."
"So, wanna join my team?" he said, nodding at the girl to symbolize his "team" so far.
"Sure." I replied with a slight laugh. "So, how did this happen?" I said, pointing at her wounds.
"Well, I"...
++ Yllaster ++
"Gahhh, how much farther?" Eden said, walking as though he had a hunch on his back.
"Would you please stop making that obnoxious noise?"
"Noise? Gahhh...?"
"Yah, that one." I replied, looking at him angrily.
The girl began to cough, so I set her on the ground, awaiting another response.
She opened her eyes to see Eden and me looming over her.
"Blegh, I'm still dreaming." She said with a sigh. "Wait." She began touching her stomach and thighs, as if she were double checking if she was wearing clothes.
"Oh. This isn't a dream." She began to sit up, but her wound collided with my shoulder pad.
She fell back down into the dirt and released a loud, but short scream.
"ARE YOU OKAY?" Eden yelled. The scream must have popped his ears or something.
"Could you please stop screaming?" I growled.
"WHAT?"
"I SAID SHUT IT!"
"OKAY!"
I rolled my eyes at the boy and turned to face the girl. "Are you alright?"
She smiled slightly before grabbing her arm. "Neither of you, by chance happen to have any Healing Dust, do you?" She asked faintly, as if she were about to faint again.
"I do!" A person had appeared behind us. "I have EVERY type of dust! he said, fidgeting as he stood.
"Are you alright?" I said, staring at the spastic boy.
"Ha. Haha. Yah. YAH. I'm great. Icouldn'tbebetter! Ha. Dust. Right! Dust!" He threw a vile of pink dust at me. I barely caught it.
"So. Whatareyouguysdoing? Whyisshebleeding? Aretheseearsreal? Areyouafaunus? Areyoupretendingtobeafaunus? Haveanyofyousniffeddustbefore?"
I grabbed the purple-clothed boy by his tie.
"Touch. My. Ears. Again." I growled, my hand on Æther.
The boy was suddenly gone.
"Huh?" I turned to see the girl was out cold again, and the boy was groping her.
"Hey, you! Get your damn hands off her!" Eden yelled.
The boy looked up at Eden. He groped a second more, then disappeared in a blur of purple.
A/N: Haha! The purple blur has shown itself!
Now I should fill you guys in on some info:
1) Copiae in Latin could mean 1 of 2 things: and abundance, or a group of soldiers (No, I didn't Google it, I am taking Latin 3 currently)
2) Nin's last name (Oppugno) is Latin for fight; thought it was fitting since she writes murder-mysteries
3) Yllaster is not based off the word Yliaster (I'll let you Google it), the word was randomly created by my friend. But, I named his blade Æther after I looked up the definition of Yliaster. Thought it was kinda funny.
K, Bye!
