"Though"

"Notepad"

Chapter Seven: Verse

So it's been a day since Weiss little battle in ports class she seems less of a brat toward Ruby but she stills hate me but that can be expected to what happened

Any way we're in Goodwitch's class for combat training

"Now with the festival in a few months we will be doing arena style matches half of the class will practice working as a team while the other will be doing one on one with a member of their team and a member of another team. Now team RWBY, JNPR, CRCK, and CRDL will be doing one on one while the rest of you will practice with your weapons and teamwork."

Getting up we head to the arena. "The first battle will be with Chase vs Razi go get ready boys," she informed us.

Nodding we went off the get our gear and change into combat gear. Upon entering the first thing Razi does is take off the shoes and sighs in relief as he wiggled his toes. After changing we head back out.

"Razi will be close range so there is no need to use my gun on him. He also has high endurance so it would be better to hit his vital spots and end it quickly."

"You boys ready?" Goodwich ask.

"Yes ma'am!" Razi said while I gave her a nod in return. The counter on the board started to count down.

3…...2…... !

While I was switching my rifle around to use the butt Razi charged at me. Rolling to the right I avoid his attack and use this opportunity to hit his right elbow which cause him to stumbled back. I swiftly continue my attack sequence not giving him any time to recover. Razi however was able to jump up and kick me side before I could dodge knocking me back. He then quickly started swiping at me. I blocked them with my rifle and knocked him back giving me more room to move. Form his attack I was tell that he was struggling to move his right arm correctly. I used this information and attacked his right in order to make him put more stress on it. As soon as an opening was spotted I quickly hit him in the gut knocking him on the ground. When I was about to finish him.

"Times up boys, good job," Goodwitch interrupted. Looking up at the screen both mine and Razi aura were about the same, making this a tie.

Looking back at Razi who was smiling like an idiot, I helped him up. He then said, "Man, I had a blast! You almost had me there."

I gave him the look saying 'almost I had you and you know it' he just laughed at me as we made our way to the bleachers to sit with the rest of our team.

"You two did great," Kelly said

"It is a surprising improvement to see that you did not go down like when that Ursa hit you" Cyan added. I started to reach for my rifle to beat Cyan to a pulp but Kelly put a hand on my shoulder holding me back and sitting me down to see who was up next.

"Ruby and you're battle partner will be Weiss," Goodwitch announced.

Both of them got up to go get their gear. I was tired after the fight so I thought I could get some sleep but every time I would close my eyes Kelly would try to draw on my face making it impossible for me to take a nap. So, I decided to move down by team JNPR, I talk with them for a little but told them that I was going to try to sleep and they left me alone as I fell fast asleep.

~Dreamscape~

What where am I looking around I was in a town or a small village the town itself was on fire.

"Chase!" turning around to see who was calling my name I stop when I saw who it was "No not here! Anywhere but here." I saw a me but as kid and my mother.

"Mommy what's going on?" younger me ask her scared.

"Honey you need to run go to the spot me and your father showed you okay. You go there and you hide, don't come out until we come and get you, do you understand," my mother spoke with such seriousness that even the young me knew that something was wrong.

"Y-yes," he answered in a trembling voice.

"Good now you go me and your father will deal with thi-" but before she could continue there was an explosion.

~End dreamscape~

I jolted up.

"Hey Chase you ok?" a worried Ruby asked me.

"Yeah I'm fine" I answered.

"You don't seem fine," she insisted.

"I'm really fine it ok, Ruby" she gives me a nod knowing that she understand but still look worried.

Looking up to the arena I see Kelly and Cyan fighting. Kelly look like she was having fun kicking Cyan ass. Cyan aura reach zero ending the match.

"Alright class that would be all for today class dismissed," Goodwitch ended the lesson with that.

With that we made our way out but before I could make it out the door someone grab my hood and pulled me back in. Turning around I saw Yang, Ruby's older sister.

"So, how do you know my little sister?" She demanded.

"I help her fight Roman," I simply put not really wanting to deal with her at the moment. Yang did not look convinced but took it anyways.

"If you ever try to hurt my sister I will make sure that you will never see the light of day ever again do I make myself clear," giving her a nod she then just walk out the door. "God, she scares me."
