Chapter 15 – The Results of Training

Ruby quickly pushed Jaune to the side causing Iris to miss her punch and fall to the ground. Ruby used her semblance to quickly punch the girl who was now on the floor before being stopped by a third person. A male student covered in purple electric aura appeared and kicked Ruby in the gut sending her sliding across the cafeteria. Jaune didn't like what he saw and jumped towards the student with a kick of his own, but was blocked by the student and was pushed back. Blake used her grappling hook to grab hold of the student's leg and reel him in which caused him to fall over. A fourth person with a strong aura was sensed by Jaune across the room which was a female student with violet hair and eyes. She pulled out her bow and shot an arrow that could possibly kill Blake. Jaune was able to activate his semblance and sent the arrow away into the black void. Jaune quickly conjured up black flames beneath the woman's feet, ready to set the girl on fire until a loud scream was heard that caused everyone in the cafeteria to collapse to their knees and their backs. Jaune's black flames dissipated and everyone was now on the floor covering their ears from the loud scream.

"Are you all done now!?" A woman was heard yelling in the cafeteria. Jaune turned around and saw an old female teacher glaring at everyone. He can only think that it was an instructor who was passing by.

"What did the professor say about fights outside of the sparring arena!? If you all want to hurt each other so bad settle it in the battle arena and not the school's lunch room!" The woman looked at the students who were fighting and signaled them to follow her. Neither of the students showed signs of reluctance and proceeded to follow her. Jaune and the group did the same since she looked at them the same way, as if to say they weren't being let off so easily. As both groups followed behind her, all the students from the cafeteria walked behind them as if they were also called in, but they were coming in their own free will. After a while, they reached the school's battle arena which seemed bigger than the one in Beacon. From there, Jaune already knew what he and his team had gotten into. They were going to fight with the other students involved in the tussle.

"You three, choose someone to be on your team." The woman said.

"We don't want to…" Ruby was cut off by the woman.

"You engaged in a battle outside of the arena. Here in Mistral, any qualms outside of class are settled here. You will settle the problem with them now." The Professor said as they showed the entrance to the battlefield. The students who were in the lunch room were now occupying the seats around the arena and seemed excited, as if they were about to see the finale of the Vytal Festival.

"Blake, Weiss, Ruby follow me. It seems the only way to get around this obstacle is to show that we aren't going to tolerate people messing with us." Jaune said.

"Wouldn't it be best if you teamed up with Winter and Amber?" Weiss asked.

"I could, but I want to work together as a team to see our potential."

"Let's win this." Ruby said, pumped for the match. The team they were facing took a few minutes to get ready and came out with their fighting attire.

"Team VILT (Violet) you may now enter the battle field." The four students walked out of the hallway and into the battlefield.

"We never got to introduce to you my teammates now have I?" Iris said.

"This is Violet, Light, and Tyrian." Iris wore a purple vest with a white long sleeve buttoned shirt and gloves which seemed to catch many eyes staring at her beauty. Her weapon was a white bag which no one could guess what was inside. Violet was wearing a professional dark purple business suit with a purple tie and a pair of black leather gloves. However, she only had a bow and a quiver on her back. Light was the weirdest one out of them. He was wearing his casual comfortable clothing and had nothing on him or his hands. Yet his stance and how he has his hands together gives off the impression that he is holding a weapon. Tyrian had purple spiked hair and was heavy built. He had a tank top and a black/purple trench coat with black pants. He was the person that Jaune was most worried about since his speed was on par with Ruby's, but unlike Ruby, Tyrian had incredible strength.

"Let the match begin!" The Professor yelled as did the students in the arena who were witnessing the battle.

Intertwined

"Ruby, get Tyrian!" Jaune yelled, but before she could follow his order, Tyrian had already appeared in front of Jaune and his team in seconds. Jaune had no time to use his black aura as armor so took the force of the attack in the stomach causing him to cough out blood.

"Jaune!" The team yelled as they watched his leader slide away from them. Ruby used her semblance to catch Tyrian off guard and use Crescent Rose to send him back which worked.

"Tyrian stay back!" yelled Iris as she pulled out a rocket from her bag which was definitely impossible.

"There's no way that's possible!" Weiss yelled. Iris launched the missile towards them, but was stopped by Weiss's summoning. A giant white greatshield stopped the missile from harming the team. Violet and Tyrion ran towards the team whereas Light and Iris stayed back and provided cover fire. Jaune quickly unleashed his black armor and conjured up black flames in front of Tyrian and Violet to stop their attacks. This allowed Jaune enough time to run back towards his team and formulate a plan while he used the black holes as cover from any projectiles that may come towards them.

"Blake, you take care of Violet and Ruby takes care of Tyrion after this next attack. Ruby's speed should be on par with his speed, but make sure you avoid his hits. One hit from him managed to fracture one my ribs but my aura was able to fix it. Ruby you still have your ring?" Jaune asked.

"Never leave home without it." Ruby said as she placed her hand in front of her, showing off the ring.

"Good." Jaune said.

"What about me?" Weiss asked.

"Frostbite." Jaune said. Weiss nodded and Jaune quickly dissipated the flames and the black hole. Jaune went behind Weiss and placed his hand on her back. Jaune's black aura transferred to Weiss and the black veins had begun to grow in one side of her face and covered her right eye in black. The right side of the lip had an evil smirk whereas the left side of her face was calm and collected. She used her summoning again and released a giant black knight that amazed everyone in the arena.

"NOW!" Jaune yelled. The black knight swung his sword and released a wave of black crescent aura that managed to hit Violet's team back. The power behind the swing nearly knocked them out, but they managed to get back on their feet again. Once more the black night swung his sword for a second attack but Violet had something to block it.

"Everyone! Behind me!" Violet yelled. Everyone followed her order and got behind her right when the attack was coming. She created a massive violet barrier that managed to stop the attack from defeating them.

"Light!" Violet yelled.

"I'm on it." Light said, turning himself invisible. Ruby and Blake ran towards the cornered team to finish them off but were sent flying. The sound of two shotguns shooting rung and Blake and Ruby were on their backs.

"Weiss can you hear me?" Jaune asked in his mind.

"Yes I can. What's our next plan?"

"I'm going to imbue the black knight's sword with black flames and that should do the trick to at least finish them off. However, if I do this my aura will drop significantly and I will only be able to continue transferring my black aura onto the summoning for a few more minutes until I release it and you start to use your aura."

"It's fine. The aura I used to summon the knight was yours so I still have my full aura to use. Do it!"

Jaune opened his eyes and increased his Dark aura's intensity allowing the black knight to imbue his sword with the black flames.

"Ruby get behind me!" Jaune yelled Ruby quickly went behind Jaune and awaited his orders.

"Listen Ruby, I can feel Light's presence even though he is invisible so when I tell you to attack a certain direction you do it."

"Got it." Jaune closed his eyes and tried to feel out Light's position.

"THERE!" Jaune yelled. Ruby used her semblance to catch Light off guard and get a direct hit on him. The plan worked and Light was slashed with Ruby's scythe and went sliding away. Before Ruby could react, a massive light was gathered in front of her and was shot in point black range. She was hit with a devastating attack that sent her flying across the arena. The speed of the flight was so fast that the wall behind her cracked and fell to the floor.

"RUBY!" Jaune and Blake screamed.

"How? How did that happen?" Jaune thought. From the spot where Ruby was shot, a person appeared. It was Iris who was invisible and attacked Ruby.

"What!? She can turn invisible too!?" Jaune yelled. He quickly made the black knight swing his sword to create the crescent black flame towards Tyrian and Iris. Tyrian used his speed to grab Iris to jump over the attack but was singed on his foot which caused the flame to stick to him.

"What the hell!?" Tyrian yelled as he tried to stop the flame from spreading by putting out with his hands. However, this made things worse for him since the flame was not only stuck to his foot, but his hand that he used to put out the flame caught on fire too.

"My black flames are similar to having a sickness that can be easily caught be anyone who makes contact with it. I suggest you give up now or else the fire will continue to …" Jaune was cut off by Tyrian and Iris appearing in front of him. The duo's attack was stopped by the Black Knight that used its greatshield to block the incoming attack. The duo's strength managed to push back the Black Knight which surprised Jaune and Weiss.

"She also has the same electric semblance as her teammate!?" Jaune thought. While Weiss and Jaune were distracted by the two, Violet took this time to go for a sneak attack from the side, but was stopped by Blake who managed to use her grappling hook to trip Violet. Tyrian and Iris split up and went for Blake and Weiss. Jaune knew he only had a bit more aura left until he would have to stop the transfer so he used this time to unleash a powerful Dark aura blast that would send anybody near the Black Knight back. Jaune however, made sure that the blast would not affect him and Weiss and unleashed the powerful force, sending Tyrian, Iris, and Violet sliding away on their backs. Blake took the opportunity to release Violet and instead, used her grappling hook on Tyrian to avoid him using his speed. The Black Knight dissipated his sword and shield to create giant orbs on each hand. Iris ran towards Violet and touched her shoulder before the two ran towards Tyrian to protect him from the attack. Iris and Violet stood in front of Tyrian and placed both of their hands in front of them. Blake immediately knew what they were about to do and pulled the grappling hook she had used on Tyrian to pull him towards the Knight. The Knight released the black orbs towards its foes direction and Iris and Violet had no choice but to use both of their strength to create a double barrier to prevent the blast from breaking it and defeating them. The giant blast darkened the whole battlefield and a black mist surrounded it for a few seconds. Tyrian was caught on the blast and now was unconscious and could no longer continue. The Black knight had shielded Jaune and his friends from the blast, but Jaune was now getting side effects of him transferring too much of his Dark aura to Weiss and had to stop. He released his hand off of Weiss's back and she and the giant Knight returned back to normal. Jaune's black aura returned to him and he was able to create his black armor once again, but overusing his aura caused him to collapse to one knee and get a sharp pain on his head.

"Jaune are you alright?" Weiss asked as she turned around and helped Jaune get back on his feet.

"I-I'm fine. I just overdid it a little bit." Jaune said. The three looked at where the orbs hit, expecting Iris and Violet to be on the floor unconscious, but were shocked to see that Violet's barrier was still active. He unsheathed Crocea Mors and ran towards Violet, whereas Weiss and Blake went for Iris. Jaune swung his black sword towards Violet's barrier and broke through it causing Iris and Violet to separate. Jaune slashed his sword again at Violet, but she avoided the attack and countered with a powerful punch that Jaune had barely managed to block with his sword just in time. Violet's attack had a powerful force behind it that pushed Jaune back. Thanks to his sword's ability, he was able to use the power behind the attack to increase his strength and speed which was able to hit Violet with a barrage of attacks several times. However, she was able to create various small barriers around herself to avoid Jaune's quick slashes. Violet knew she will have to use all her strength to take down Jaune and released her aura that she still had stored. Now she was agile and was able to avoid his attacks and counter them with punches and well placed kicks. Her attacks reminded Jaune of someone he knew, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Jaune jumped back and made the floor under her explode with black flames but she managed to place a barrier beneath her to avoid the flames from catching her. She used her aura on her feet to give her a boost when she jumped towards Jaune allowing her to punch Jaune right in the chest causing him to go sliding away.

"This strength, this fighting style…its Jay's fighting style! Why does she fight exactly like Jay!? No problem. I know how Jay fights and now this is all over." Jaune thought

"I recognize the way you tend to fight. You fight exactly like a close friend of mine back at Beacon." Jaune said with a smirk on his face.

"Does it look like I care!?" Violet yelled as she sent a barrage of punches and kicks towards Jaune.

Two Is Better Than One

Weiss used her glyphs to send her straight towards Iris in a mere second allowing her to catch Iris off guard and hit her with her Rapier. Iris was sent sliding back on her feet, but managed to stay on guard. She held the twin blade as if she had years of experience with it that intimidated Weiss and Blake.

"Weiss, let's go!" Blake yelled. Iris smirked as they saw the two coming towards her and used a summoning to call upon a Giant White Knight which was similar to Weiss's summoning. Weiss and Blake froze as they saw the White Knight appearing in front of them and had no choice but to fall back and come up with a plan fast.

"How the hell is that possible!? That's my semblance and my family is the only one capable of using it." Weiss said.

"Listen Weiss!" Blake yelled.

"Iris doesn't have all these semblances! She only has one, and that is copying other people's semblance! Use your own summoning as well and make sure it distracts her knight to allow us time to take out Iris!" Weiss agreed and used her summoning to call upon the White Knight to her aid and pre occupy Iris's knight. The two Knights now engaged in battle allowing Weiss and Blake to take on Iris together. Iris's proficiency with the Twin blade made sure there weren't any clear shots for Weiss and Blake to take. Blake jumped back and used her grappling hook to trip Iris over and allow Weiss to get a direct hit on her. The tactic worked and Weiss was able to use her Rapier's dust to hit her with explosive damage. Amazingly, Iris quickly recovered and kicked Weiss's feet causing her to fall over and have the opportunity to take Weiss out. However, Blake shot Iris's twin blade out of her hands and now had to go on the defensive. Weiss's aura had already begun to diminish due to the Knight's summoning and she had no choice but to stop the summoning. Iris surprisingly still had plenty of aura left in her which concerned the two. Iris's Knight slashed at the two but they manage to avoid its attacks. They had to come up with something quick or else they will surely lose. Iris grabbed her twin blade and went straight for Blake whereas the White knight went for Weiss. Iris swung her blades ferociously making it impossible for Blake to stop each swing. One of the blades were about to hit her in the face, but she used her semblance to replace herself with an ice sculpture causing Iris to get stuck along with it. This gave Blake the perfect opportunity to finish her off. She struck Iris on her chest but she copied Blake's semblance leaving an ice sculpture of her own causing Blake to get stuck. The White Knight that Iris had summoned disappeared which surprised Weiss and gave her the chance to go straight for Iris using her repulsion glyph which allowed her to get launched towards her and finish her off with a powerful explosive dust propelled attack from her Rapier.

Iris now lay unconscious on the floor and the two were ready to stop and rest, but Weiss was struck from behind by an invisible person who Blake knew who it was. Light was never unconscious and was just playing possum, waiting for this opportunity to take out one of them and it was Weiss who drew the short straw. Blake knew she had no chance of winning against Light when he's invisible and her only choice was to go get Jaune's help. She tried to run towards Jaune but was caught by something from her feet and collapse to the floor. Blake shot everywhere, but couldn't land a single hit on Light.

"There is no chance of beating me in your state. Good night!" Light yelled as he was about to deliver the finishing blow. In an instant, black flames arose in front of Blake, disallowing Light to finish her off. Luckily he didn't touch the flames or else he himself would end catching on fire.

Pride

"Blake! Get over here fast! We're going to switch partners! That will give us the perfect opportunity to win this!" Jaune yelled, avoiding every swing and kick Violet has been sending towards him.

"STOP PLAYING WITH ME!" Violet yelled, getting annoyed by the fact that her attacks were failing to hit Jaune.

"Did you really think you could beat me?" Jaune asked with a smirk. Jaune had begun to use his black flames to stop Violet from punching and kicking carelessly which angered her more. She swung her fist towards Jaune's face, but was stopped by the black flames that he conjured up in front of her. She stopped midway from the punch, barely preventing herself from catching her fist on fire. Her eyes were now full of anger as she saw Jaune smirk at the failed attack.

"DON'T SCREW WITH ME!" She yelled. She swung her fist with all her might towards the flame, hitting Jaune's face. Jaune was sent soaring threw the air and towards the barrier that surrounded the arena to prevent any students getting caught in the crossfire. Violet's fist was now on fire, but she didn't care and went straight towards Jaune who was on the floor dazed by the punch.

"JAUNE!" Amber yelled. She couldn't believe how strong that attack was and the whole arena was shocked by the sight. Jaune although dazed, noticed Violet standing and looking towards him full of anger in her eyes. She pulled out her bow from her back and aimed it straight towards Jaune. Aura had started to transfer to the arrow that had the potential to make a blast radius that could not only take Jaune out, but the whole competitors too. Jaune immediately used his semblance to absorb the attack, but couldn't move his arms.

"What's going on!? I can't move my arms! It feels like have been tied up with a…LIGHT!" Jaune looked towards Blake's direction and noticed Blake arms and legs positioned as if she was tied up. Jaune could only watch as the powerful arrow was ready to be launched, but right when she was about to release it, a loud bang rang through the arena and Violet fell back. Jaune looked where the sound came from and it was Ruby who was lying on the floor aiming at Violet with her sniper rifle. Ruby waited for the best moment for her to use her sniper rifle and it came. The round was a rubber bullet intended to knock Violet unconscious which worked perfectly. All that was left was Light who remained invisible, but Jaune had no problem sensing Light's presence.

Jaune used his black flames to burn away at the rope that tied him in order to escape. However, Jaune was immediately kicked in the face by Light who was still invisible. Jaune managed to get out and was finally able to fight back no problem. He ran towards his sword and hastily picked up Crocea Mors to slash at Light. With each swing, he had trouble avoiding each attack, but alas he could not keep up. Jaune charged up his sword with Dark aura and unleashed it towards Light's direction. Light collapsed on his back and was now defeated. Jaune walked over to Light and stared at him.

"How could we lose? Oh well… we almost had you." Light said with a smirk.

"You never had me. I was merely practicing some new tricks I have created. It seems I got the results I wanted and I thank you and your team."

"W-what?"

"And also… tell your teammate Violet Von Vanquisher that her relative Jay is a much more competitive than her." Jaune said. He walked towards Blake to untie her and both went to pick up Ruby and Weiss and take them to the infirmary room. He was quickly stopped by Amber who said to place both of them on the floor and allow her to do something. He did what she said and Amber had begun healing Weiss and Ruby simultaneously. Ruby's bruises and scratches went away much faster than Weiss due to her ring and got back up on her feet.

"That match was… something." Ruby said, placing her hand on the back of her head.

"It sure was. Hopefully now they will know not to mess with us." Weiss said.

"Jaune… were you really holding back?" Blake asked.

"I was." Jaune said.

Here's Chapter 15 everyone. I hope you enjoy it and continue reading future chapters. I guess i'll take this time to tell you a little bit about team VILT and what gave me the idea to create them. I'll start off with Violet. The idea of Violet came from the Fate series Bazette. Since Bazette seems proficient in hand to hand combat, that gave me the idea of adding her to the story and have some sort of connection with Jay since he too is proficient in the same category.

Iris is based off of the messenger of the gods in Greek Mythology. Iris isn't just one specific color, but many colors. That's one of the many reasons why she isn't just purple. I read a little bit about how Iris gave a gift to Nereid Thetis who then gave it to her son Achilles. This gave me the idea of Iris and Pyrrha being friend prior to her coming to Beacon.

Light is a character that I also thought of due to the fact that Light isn't just a single color. That would give me the idea of pairing him and Iris together. Not much thought went into Light, but when I was thinking about an appearance, Light Yagami from death note came into my mind.

Last but certainly not least Tyrian. Tyrian is the color purple and what gave me the idea of making his semblance into Electricity that enhances his strength and speed was the Fourth Raikage from Naruto Shippuden. I didn't think too much when creating him but this allowed me to create a team which would allow me to showcase some of the team's strength.

FUN FACT: Jaune's black flames is also inspired from Sasuke's Amaterasu which I really liked.

Well that's all I wanted to say. I'll see you all later.
