Well guys, I'm back! I apologize for such a long wait; I didn't have access to a computer to work on this…until now!

And for some who did guess, you are all right!

It was now May 2nd. Things have been going normal as usual, except for one thing: Blake.

She has been distanced herself from everyone, even Darrel. Why? Because she has been trying to get more information on the White Fang.

However, this will have to wait to be dealt with for later.

Currently, Pyrrha Nikos was wiping the floor with Team CRDL. "Well done, miss Nikos. You should have no problem qualifying for the tournament."Glynda congratulated her.

"Thank you, professor." And with that, the Spartan left the stage.

"Alright, now I know that's a tough act to follow, but we have time for one more sparing match."Glynda stated. She then began to scan the crowd. "Any volunteers?"

Darrel raised his hand. "I wish to fight all of Team ACME."He said proudly. "Using a form."He added with a devilish smirk.

"Very well then."Glynda groaned.

While Darrel simply jumped from his seat, Team ACME simply strode in, weapons drawn.

"Gigantic ape."Darrel proclaimed. He convulsed in pain. His body grew larger. His head grew bigger, as did his teeth. His arms grew immensely, as did his legs.

He was covered in orange fur, had dark grey skin, and brown eyes. Darrel was now a 10 feet tall, 800lb Gigantopithecus. He then reared up to his full 10 feet height and roared out loud, and then he beat his chest.

While Emerald open fire with her revolvers, the others charged in. Darrel projected a light green shield around his body, preventing any of their attacks to pierce his hide.

Mercury went for a leaping kick to his mid-section, but Darrel just punched him so hard, he went flying straight through the wall. As for Cinder, he kicked her down and then sat on her.

He then grabbed Amy, and tossed her weapon aside. He manifested a green tree in his hand and he started bashing her with it while shouting in a buff voice, "EAT YOUR VEGETABLES!"

Since everyone else was out of the fight, he charged up to Emerald and back-handed her so hard, she flew up into the stands.

"Well then, I can most certainly say that Mr. Maximus has won this match."Glynda stated. Darrel then changed back.

(SCENE CHANGE!)

Team RWBY was heading back to their dorms to decide about what to do for prom this weekend.

Blake got a text from Darrel: You still up for prom, Kitty cat?

Blake replied NO!

(SCENE CHANGE!)

Later that night…

"You what?!"Blake stated, slightly angered.

"We want you to go to prom."Ruby stated. "That's ridiculous."Blake retorted, raising her voice.

"Blake, we're worried about you. This investigation is starting to mess with your head."Yang said reassuringly.

"You can't sleep, you hardly eat, you don't spend time with Darrel, and to be honest, your grades have been suffering."Weiss listed.

"You think I care about grades?! People's lives are at stake!"Blake shouted.

"We know and we're all still trying to figure out what Torchwick and the White Fang are up to."Yang stated.

"Thanks to you and Darrel, we know they're operating somewhere in southeast Vale!"Ruby stated. "And the Schnee Company record singled out Vale as the primary target for Dust robberies over the last few months."Weiss added on. "And don't forget their stolen military tech too."Yang added on.

"But there are still unanswered questions, like what is Operation: CE?"Blake stated with fear.

"Blake, you still won't be able to find anything if you can't even keep your eyes open."Ruby stated.

"All we're asking is that you take it easy until the 20th, as well as one day."Yang stated.

"Prom will be fun! Yang and I will make sure of it."Weiss said. "Yeah! We're planning the whole event!"Yang said with cheer, making the whole bottom bunk bounce.

"Excuse me?"Blake asked confused.

"Team CFVY's away mission lasted longer than expected."Weiss explained.

"So, Weiss and I are asked to pick up where they left off."Yang stated. "And now we can make sure that you and Darrel have the perfect night, far better than any of the other two dances we had."

"And once it is over, we just have a week or two left to study, and then we'll return to our search, rested and ready."Weiss stated.

"So, what do you think?"Ruby asked.

After a moment of silence…. "I think this is a colossal waste of time."Blake stated with annoyance. "I'll be in the library." And with that, she left.

"Great." Yang sighed. "She can't keep going like this."Weiss stated.

(SCENE CHANGE!)

Meanwhile in Team ACME's dorm, they were all recovering from the match; all had ice packs on at least some part of their body.

"Okay, what have we learned about our target?"Emerald said painfully.

"Never engage him; EVER!"Mercury said.

"I'm still picking fur out of my hair; and do you know how painful 800 pounds feels on your back?!"Cinder said with fear and annoyance.

Meanwhile, Amy was rocking back & forth saying, "Not the broccoli, not the broccoli…"

"What's with your sis?"Emerald asked. "Let's say that she has a fear of broccoli; don't ask why, she forced me to not tell anyone about it."

"So, what do we do now?"Mercury inquired.

Not so heavy on Darrel, but I just had to add the bit where Darrel got to throw down with them; props if you get the joke about EAT YOUR VEGETABLES bit. Also, from now on, I may supply a riddle for the next new form, and here is the next one: I'm from China, I have feathers, and you know what color they are; What extinct animal am i? If you get it right, and are an actual user, PM any ideas or anything that you think needs work, cause hey: no one is perfect!

Gigantopithecus: Gigantic ape

10 feet tall, 800lbs

Usage: Wrestler

Melee attacks: Fists

Abilities: A DNA-enhanced version can create a skin shield: this is basically the same as aura, but it has different properties, like it only works skin deep. Also, a DNA-enhanced version can create weapons from its energy; think how Gara from Naruto does it, only they are made of energy

Appearance: one seen in this chapter

Until then, read & review my friends!
