Disclaimer: Thank you to those who have favourited and followed this story so far. Now from this chapter onwards I will no be putting the disclaimer up. So for now and every chapter to follow I do not own RWBY. Only Sasha, Noel, and Guardian.
I looked to my left too look at Noel and she didn't bat an eye at the site. 'Had she seen this site before?' I wondered.
"Now both of you outside, its time we began training" Guardian let out wrapping up the head once more, before slinging it over his shoulder and walking outside. Noel was quick to follow behind him, as if his orders were absolute to her. "Sasha you better move before encouragement is given to you" Guardian spoke lightly from outside but his voice could be heard perfectly fine due to my Faunus ears.
I jumped up quickly not prepared to argue with the man who now was ironically my guardian. In a few strides I was outside in the snow. I was caught off guard as I felt something heavy hit me in the chest. I stumbled backwards, but thankfully didn't fall over.
"Good, your balance seems better. Now toss that head back over will you?" he 'asked'. I looked down to see the read cloth covered head, and jumped a little. With my left hand I threw the head at guardian, the throw was not straight at all. "Great so you were right handed to. You're going to be a difficult one then…. So Noel come here and give Sasha here a dust demonstration" He said to her holding a yellow crystal out for her.
"Yes sir" she said in a rehearsed sounding way. Noel held the crystal in her left hand while she made a quick swish of her right hand as 4 wire's flew out from her hoodie's sleeve. The wires flew out before the yellow crystal began to glow, and suddenly her wire's became electrified. Sparks shot out as the energy arced between the wires.
"Good girl. Now Sasha. Since you don't have a dominate hand, your essentially useless when it comes to using weapons. But you are sporting a extremely large Dust crystal. Oh and one thing before I show you how to use dust… I have no clue how a large dust crystal is going to react. Dust can be very unpredictable at the best of times" he explains.
I glared at him before speaking. "So your saying I might just be a working bomb waiting to go off!" I shout before being glared at. I see why Noel was so obedient when he gave an order.
"Don't go shouting at me. But yes. Now get over here and drop your aura barrier that stopping the crystal" He demands.
Not wanting to make him angry or anything I quickly move beside him and dread the oncoming pain. I stop the aura barrier I had on my shoulder, before being greeted by the freezing pulses that came off the crystal in my shoulder. I was having trouble not falling forward and holding myself.
"Now focus and concentrate on the crystal and think of a small shard of ice" He continues walking around me in a circle.
It was hard to do any of that under the situation, but as time went on, the crystal began to grow and pulse more often, then suddenly the air around it froze and began gathering around and enlarging the crystal. At the same time I was being lost in the sensation it brought. It seemed that when the dust was in actual use the coldness didn't bother me.
"Oooo This interesting" he let out pulling out his little notebook from his coat.
Then suddenly I felt over to the right, and hit the ground hard. My concentration broke and I noticed that a large ice pillar in a sense extended out from my right shoulder. I fell over because it grew to big for my body to hold anymore. When my focus broke, so to did the pillar as it cracked and fell apart around my shoulder.
"Nii san is amazing!" Shouted Noel who looked amazed before poking the ice pillars remnants.
"No he is not but the dust embedded into him is" replied Guardian, before lifting me off the ground.
"Now we better get you use to using dust then. We've got a lot of work to do" He let out before an intense bout of training began.
One year passed by as I was taught to use dust and to defend myself. Guardian was in and out of my life often. When he wasn't around Noel would act so childish all the time, but became obedient when Guardian was around. Furthermore since the introduction of myself into Noel's life she sewed on two fake cat ears into her hoodie.
The door to our little home opened and we were greeted by Guardian once more. "How have you two been without me?" he asked.
"Fine" I replied to him from a couch. He walked over to me a dropped three small dust crystals on my lap. All of them were the pale blue of my shoulders one. The small ones much brighter than mine. After large periods of uses I learnt that my dust was limited, it always needed to be recharged by smaller dust crystals. I took the crystals before pushing them to my shoulder, the crystals being absorbed into it, before I covered it with a wrapping, so that people wouldn't see the crystal. I noticed that people always made faces seeing a dust crystal jutting out from my shoulder, so I began to cover it entirely with bandages so that it truly made me look like a cripple. I figured that it made me look really weak, and hoped most people would underestimate me. Noel would never underestimate though. Then again I've yet to actually beat her.
"So since it's been a month since our last get together. Its time I saw you too spar. So outside now" he orders, before both myself and Noel quickly run outside. We both took about 5 meters away from one another.
"Begin!" Guardian shouted out.
Despite being a Faunus, who genetically had a superior physical body than a human. Noel was much faster than myself as she dashed forward. I began to focus on my Dust crystal as arm of ice began to form, the same size as my left arm. Suddenly heard whistling sound. Noel ran a meter to my right with her right arm out. My eyes being better noticed the wire coming from sleeve.
Seeing this I leaned back. The wire whizzing inches from my face, but my right arm was too slow as the ice arm was severed entirely. "NOEL! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!" I shouted at her. Piano wire was not a toy for one to play with.
Noel was quiet and calculating as this was her mindset in battle. She came back around spinning in the snow before throwing two knives at me from both her sleeves. The knives had piano wire tied to the ends.
With my left hand I touch the snowy ground as a ice wall grew from the ground. The wall was only 1 meter in length but it blocked her knives nicely enough. I saw through the ice as Noel ran towards the wall.
"Shit" I let out before pushing my right shoulder to the wall, then pulling back a chunk came off the wall, quickly forming a new arm. Suddenly I saw Noel's left leg hit the wall as she ran over the top of it, before throwing another two knives down from the top of the wall.
Quickly I pull a chunk above me from the wall out using it as a shield, catching another two knives. Noel came down to earth with a roll in the snow for the landing before, coming out of the role with a hop to throw another one.
This knife flew through my waving hair. A few stray strands we cut off. "Ok no more nice cripple Noel!" I shout as my right hand's fingers merge together into a long ice blade. I begin to run at Noel, as she throw's several knives as I run at her. A net forming from the piano wires. Coming close to a wire in particular I suddenly stop and swing my hand hard at it. The ice blade being severed, but flew towards Noel, fast.
Noel quickly reacted using her last blade to slice the ice apart.
"Lets see if this works" I think, as I focus on the flying ice blade as it suddenly shatters before Noel could slice it in half. The ice becoming a small spread of ice darts. There were to many for Noel to dodge for once.
Suddenly Noel falls backwards. But not from the ice darts, just before they hit she pulls hard on all the wires, using them as a slingshot for herself, as she slides across the snowy ground. She comes hurtling across the snow, taking out my legs with a knife she recovered, giving them two good gashes.
I fall forward and gasp out in pain. When Noel came to a stop she was right by the ice wall from before. I smirk, not facing her now, as she was behind me. With a tug motion from right arm the wall collapses on her forming a cage around her.
"OH MY FREAKING GOD! I DID IT! I finally beat you!" I shout out before my legs began to sting a lot.
"Good job Sasha" I received from Guardian, before he went over and made a punch to the ice cage breaking it with a single punch. "But the ice isn't that solid" he criticizes, helping Noel out of it.
"You did great Ni-san" she lets out with a smile.
And there's chapter 4.
