RWBY: The Chronicles of Beacon Academy - chapter 4, Tense relations
Salutations people of the internet! This chapter might be out late, if so then I sincerely apologize, Once again been busy with stuff, mainly exams... However at the time of this being uploaded, all my exams are officially finished, so I can concentrate on writing a bit more. Also, just so I don't forget, I am going on holiday on boxing day and getting back on the 6th January so I likely won't be uploading anything during that time. But for now, Bye bye!
A few days had passed since Ruby had told JNPR the good news, It was half past one and Weiss couldn't sleep. So she decided she would try and get in some training. After a few hours of hard work, trying many new things. She walked away from a burned, frozen, shocked training dummy that had also been thrown across the room multiple times by strong gusts of wind, she felt fairly confident with her chances of winning. All that remained was for her to try and find a new way of using Myrtenaster combined with her semblance to surprise her friends and, as an added bonus, confuse them long enough for her to gain a large advantage during the battle. As she went to leave the training room, she heard the door on the other side of the hall opening, confused as to who else would be using the hall at this sort of time she turned and walked back towards the other door, as she reached the middle, the mysterious person was revealed.
"Pyrrha, what are you doing here at this time?" Pyrrha spun around, startled.
"Oh, Weiss, it's you. I'm here to do some training, I'm out of practise in real competitive battling."
"Well, you seem extremely confident anyway and nothing can simulate fighting a real opponent than, well, a real opponent" Weiss said with a smile. Pyrrha simply raised her eyebrows and started slowly walking towards her opponent.
"You really think you can beat me?"
"I have no doubt about the fact." shooting daggers into Pyrrha's emerald green eyes.
All of a sudden Weiss spun and swung Myrtenaster towards Pyrrha's head, she lifted Akoúo̱ and blocked Weiss' attack with ease.
"Is that all you've got, Ice Queen?"
"Not even close, Pumpkin girl."
In sync, they spun away from each other and lifted their weapons, Milo in rifle form, and Myrtenaster ready to utilize it's ice dust ability. Refusing to give Weiss a chance to start shooting, which would put Pyrrha at a massive disadvantage, she started pelting Weiss with bullets. Moving fast, the bullets were dodged and Weiss proceeded to use her semblance to create glyphs that would propel her across the room at insanely high speeds, creating a five point star shape around Pyrrha, Weiss flew across the room, shooting past Pyrrha, slicing her with her rapier every time. the red head wasn't expecting this atack but quickly got over the confusion and planned a way to escape the trap, just as Weiss was about to fly over her again Pyrrha hit the floor and raised Akoúo̱ underneath her friend. Weiss was propelled towards the ceiling and Pyrrha immediately switched Milo into javelin form, throwing it upwards with all her might, whilst using her semblance of polarity to ensure her throw hit her mark. It never got the chance as Weiss created another glyph to stop the weapon in it's tracks, just as she did with the Boarbatusk. She then created more to propel her to the floor and slow her decent.
The two stared at each other, before Weiss sped accross the room using her extreme speed to push faster than ever, before hitting Pyrrha square in the chest with Myrtenaster. Sending her spiralling through the room. She then changed her weapons dust chamber to Electric and started shooting out thunderbolts. But Pyrrha was too quick, landing on both feet and immediately jumping through the air directly towards Weiss, hardly giving her enough time to raise her weapon to block it. The pair then went to close combat battling. simultaneously matching each other's moves perfectly, Before Weiss made the mistake of flipping backwards to dodge an attack then attempt a flying kick towards Pyrrha. Using her semblance she moved out the way with ease and slightly altered Weiss's course giving her an opening to attack. She changed Milo to Xiphos form and sliced directly into Weiss. Landing a successful and extremely damaging hit.
Weiss stood up, wincing and evidently in trouble.
"Ready to accept defeat?"
"Not until I'm out cold."
"That can be arranged." Pyrrha threw Akoúo̱ to her right, with the intention of using her semblance to arc it around and hit Weiss in the side of the head. But her shield just hit the wall and fell to the floor with a thud.
"Wait, wha-" Weiss used this distraction as an opportunity to rush her opponent and strike a heavy, electrified blow right on target, leaving Pyrrha knocked out on the floor.
After recovering Weiss and Pyrrha were walking through the grounds talking about the fight.
"You did well Weiss, but something happened, something that hasn't happened before, my semblance, it didn't work."
"What do you mean it didn't work, you've mastered your semblance!"
"Exactly, and that's why it's scaring me. Weiss, try creating a glyph, right now." But try as she might, she was unable to create even the smallest glyphs.
"Okay, I agree, something is very wrong" Weiss muttered with fear in her eyes. "We need to go see Ozpin."
"Agreed" The girls started running towards the headmasters office. crashing through the doors, both at once speaking.
"Girls... Ahem, Girls!" His raised voice made the pair stop their complicated shouting.
"Right, now I presume their is a good reason you have both crashed into my office so rudely?"
Weiss gave Pyrrha the nod, allowing her to explain.
"Sir, something is very wrong, our semblances aren't working." Ozpin's eyes widened. His breathing started going faster.
"It's back" he mumbled.
