Alright so this is the latest chapter of Godly Boredom. I don't have much to say so I'll just get on to responding to some reviews.
Treefrogger: Aww thank you! :3
JustSk8n: I didn't really base the gods off Sora and Shiro from No Game No Life, but I can see their similarities in a way so that would explain that.
Mobydicks: Thanks man! I appreciate that you enjoy the story, really I do
bwburke94: Yup their teachers! I thought making them students would be a little bit plain so I made them teacher's instead! :D
Anyway that's all I really have to say for now, I'll get on with the story then.
"So this is the culmination of your resurrected efforts.
Back from the dead, only to die again by my hands...
Surely you aren't this pathetic?"
-Vandheer Lorde (Armed with Wings: Rearmed)
"EEEEEHHHHH!?" Were the collective reactions of all the students. Just a few second the god siblings who the students thought were just regular teenagers came out of a white portal and announced that they would be their professors for a few weeks because Professor Goodwitch was on leave. This became very confusing to them since that the siblings were about the same age as most of them.
"So yes, we shall be your new professors." Onyx exclaimed as he clasped his hands. "Mind you that this is the first time me and my sister here have been given a teaching position, let alone a job, so please bare with us." Viola only crossed her arms and nodded in agreement.
"Also." Viola began. "You may have doubts about our future lessons later because of our apparent 'age' so if you want a reference to how much combat experience we have please refer to team RWBY, they know how strong we are."
The entire student population in the room now stared at the mentioned team, who were now shuffling awkwardly in their seats.
"Anyways so to begin our lessons let's begin with something simple." Onyx said with a smirk. "We will... Uh..." Onyx turned silent for a moment before looking at his sister and began whispering. "What do we do now? I never planned out this far."
This only made Viola sigh in annoyance and pinch the bridge of her nose. "Typical of an idiot like you, the moment Ozie gave us a room you instantly plopped yourself on a bed and fell asleep." She said, using the new nickname she gave professor Ozpin which was now 'Ozie'.
"Hey it's not like you thought of anything for the class to do."
Viola opened her mouth and it remained open for a few second before slowly closing it. The next moment she punched Onyx on the shoulder and made a 'tisk' sound with her mouth. "Touche." She muttered.
Onyx then looked back to his students and gave out a nervous chuckle. "Give us a moment... We're discussing about the lesson." He then looked back to Viola as he bit his bottom lip. After a few second he gave out a sigh and looked at his sister. "Any ideas now?"
Viola looked down and began to think, but it only took her mind a few seconds to think of something interesting. She looked back at her brother with a smirk. "Ten vs two?" She suggested.
"Ten vs two?" Onyx asked with a brow raised.
"Ten vs two." Viola repeated with a nod.
"... Alright, it should be fun." Onyx said with a shrug as he and his sister looked back to all the students. "Now students if I call out your names please stand up." He then got out a small folded paper from his pocket. He unfolded it and it revealed the names of all the students who should be attending class now and what teams they're in.
"Let's see... Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Nikos!" Onyx called out and the next second the blonde knight and the red headed spartan stood up from their seats.
"Next up we have Fox Alister and Coco Adel!" The two then stood up. Viola then looked over the paper.
"Let's see..." She muttered. "Cardin Winchester and Sky Lark!" The two stood up as well.
"Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao-Long!" Viola called out and the two stood up, Yang punched her fists together in excitement.
"How about these two?" Onyx muttered to his sister as he pointed to a certain pair.
"Hmm... Alright they seem interesting." Viola said with a shrug before taking a deep breath. "Mercury Black and Cinder Fall!"
The two 'students' were slightly surprised hearing their names called, but slowly stood up. Mercury was being as calm as usual, thinking that this was most likely just a coincidence that the new professors called them, but Cinder was another story. Cinder, being the person she was, was obviously paranoid and glared daggers at the god siblings while they weren't looking. She took into account that they might be part of Ozpin's group which explains why Ozpin would let them take over combat class. She knew Ozpin well enough that she knew Ozpin may be one to bend rules like... A lot, but she was sure he wouldn't let two seventeen-year-old take over combat class without a good reason, and she wanted to find out that reason. For now she remained calm and stoic, not wanting any unnecessary attention.
"Good! All of you are present." Onyx said with a smile as he crumpled the piece of paper and threw it behind him.
"All those who are standing head to the locker rooms and obtain your weapons, you have 25 minutes." Viola said as she backed away from Onyx. "Step on it."
The students did what was told of them and began leaving the sparring arena to get their weapons. Once they all left Viola and Onyx looked back to the remaining students. "So... Who wants to see me and my sister fight?"
"In my hands I have the collective knowledge of humanity. I use it to look at pictures of cats."
-Mr. Writer-kun (Fanfiction)
It took the ten students only twenty minutes to get full combat ready and once they exited the locker room and came back to the combat arena they witnessed the two god sibling going at it in a hand-to-hand combat spar. They were ruthless when fighting each other and it was impossible to tell who was going to win as if they were equal is strength, speed, endurance, and many more physical attributes. The sides would shift once in a while, like how it seemed like Viola was going to win, but suddenly she was forced into a defensive by Onyx's violent assault.
Cinder was now in front of the other nine students and began watching closely how the siblings fought and to see if she could memorize their attack patterns. It would be a lie if Cinder said she wasn't impressed with how they fought, it was almost artistic in a way. The siblings were complete opposites to each other, Onyx was a reckless and undisciplined fighter, but his attacks were often unpredictable, violent, sporadic, and fast which gave him quite the advantage. Viola however was the opposite. She was surely faster than Onyx, but she was more disciplined, strategic, and resourceful. Both proved to be very capable fighters just from this spar alone.
"What wonders I could do if I got them to my side." Cinder mentally said to herself as she smirked.
No student dared walking up to them or disturbing them for it seemed that they were to focused on the battle that they had yet to notice the ten students standing at the entrance of the arena. It took the sibling a few minutes before Viola saw an opening that would allow her to win.
"Weakness... IDENTIFIED!" She shouted the last part as she kicked Onyx straight up in the groin causing all his body movements to stop and his face resisted to show pain. Viola lowered her leg, but Onyx did nothing and only gave out a painful grunt. "Damn you..." He muttered as he fell to the floor.
Viola took a deep breath and then sighed in relief as she beat her brother. "This even outs the score." Viola said as she wiped the sweat off her forehead. Only now she noticed the students. "Ah! Students, finally you're here." She then clasped her hands. "Now come one and step unto the arena so we can st-" Her words were cut short as she gave out a 'oof' of pain as Onyx managed to punch her in the gut while she wasn't looking. Because of this Viola fell to the floor while clenching her stomach.
"I hate you... You know that?" Viola managed to say as she winced in pain.
"I hate you too..." Onyx replied, also in pain.
It took the siblings five minutes to fully stand up on wobbly legs and another five minutes for them to recover from their 'injuries'... And then it took three minutes for Yang and Weiss to break Onyx and Viola apart from trying to rip each other's throats out. Once everything cooled down both the siblings took a deep breath and sighed.
"Now where were we?" Onyx asked as he rubbed his left shoulder with his hand.
"We were about to get started in our exercise." Viola said as she dusted some dirt off her clothing.
"Alright!" Onyx said with an enthusiastic voice as he clasped his hands and looked at his students. "Now that we're all here I'm sure you all guessed that you will all be fighting."
"Which your guess is correct." Viola added. "But that won't be all."
Onyx's smile turned into a grin. "You will be fighting the two of us, ten versus two."
This shocked most of the students, even Cinder a bit, the ones that weren't shocked were Yang and Weiss who kinda guessed this would happen and shuddered in nervousness a bit by remembering how Viola treated the Paladin from last night like it was a toy. They wondered what they would do to them all...
"That's not all." Viola said. "You will be fighting us with the intent to... Kill." She said that last part with an innocent smile which was both frightening and nerve wrecking.
"Wait wait wait a second here." Mercury spoke up and he stepped forward, looking at the two new professors. "You want to fight us with the intent to kill... Why?"
"You do know Mr. Black there is such a thing as raising one's hand?" Onyx said as he looked at Mercury with a calm face. "But other than that, yes, we want you to do that and if you can kill us, please do, It would be interesting if you could."
"Which is unlikely." Viola said with a chuckle. "And as to why we want you all to do this is because when you want to become a fully fledged huntsman or huntress or even any kind of fighter really, you need to understand that the world isn't just ponies and rainbows. You need to know that when you are down the grimm or anyone that you are fighting won't be as merciful as us professors, they can and will kill you.
"Or worse." Onyx added as he looked over to the ten students, specifically the girls. Oddly enough after saying that Viola pinched the bridge of her nose as she looked down and sighed.
"Could you be any less subtle?" Viola asked in an annoyed tone.
"... But I was subtle." Onyx replied as his shoulders slumped.
"If I knew what you were talking about then it wasn't subtle." Viola replied with a smirk.
"Oh shut it." Onyx said with a growl as he glared at his sister. "Anyways where we... Ah yes, people and grimm will kill you without a second thought unless the former would need you for some other purposes like torturing information out of you or holding you hostage."
"So the only way to stop that happening is to kill them before they do. If you can take them out without having to kill the person then good for you, you can send them to prison. But prison only lasts so long and it will only be a matter of time before they break out and cause more havoc."
"But let's stop talking about that and let's get the match started!" Onyx said excitedly as he raised his fist with enthusiasm. "I want you all to come at us not only with the intention to kill, but also I want you all to come at us with your best, a half-heated job will get you killed out there for sure." He then proceeded to laugh that off like how professor Port did when he began to talk about some 'death defying' moments when he was younger.
"Are we understood?" Viola asked in a calm yet demanding voice and the ten students nodded soon after.
"Good." Viola said as she readied herself, not materializing a weapon yet. "Come at us then! Show us what you can do!"
Each student on the arena looked to each other, a bit taken aback that the match would start right now. Most of them were expecting them to say something else or make some grand opening that would ultimately just mean 'Begin!', but no, they did no such thing, the siblings did the things simple and straight to the point.
Unlike most of the other students Cinder and Mercury readied themselves. Mercury readied his gun boots while Cinder grabbed her twin blades from her back. She didn't use the weapons provided to her by using half the Fall Maiden powers because that would be too obvious and just scream out to Ozpin and his associates 'I stole half the Fall Maiden's powers!'. Right now she was using her weapons before she obtained part of the maiden's powers and her clothing was different to avoid suspicion.
Right now her clothing composed of a gray pants and boots; a beige leather, sleeveless jacket with light-beige details; brown gloves, a sarashi tied around her chest and another around her hips, and a pauldron on her left shoulder. She is also wearing a belt around her waist, which has multiple brown pouches attached to it. She would change back into her original clothing and use her other weapons when her plan would begin, right now she couldn't even use much of her Fall maiden powers, but that would be fine with Cinder, all would fall soon enough.
Soon enough the first pair of students to charge at the siblings were Sky Lark and Cardin Winchester. Cardin, being the brute of a student he is, blindly charged at Onyx with his mace raised thinking that this would be a piece of cake and that he would win on his own. Oh if only he knew...
"There's no feeling more intense than starting over. If you deleted your homework the day before it was due, as have I. Or if you left your wallet at home and have to go back, after spending an hour in the commute. If you won some money at the casino and then put all your winnings on red, and it came up black. If you got your best shirt dry-cleaned before a wedding then immediately dropped food on it. If you won an argument with a friend and then later discovered that they just returned to their original view.
Starting over is harder than starting up."
-Bennett Foddy (Getting Over it)
When Cardin was close enough he brought his mace down on the teenage god professor, thinking that it would take, but one swing to take this person down. He then realized how wrong he was when Onyx grabbed the mace by the handle with a bored and disappointed expression on his face. "You focus to much on brute strength and think that it would take only one swing to take me down, how childish." He then hooked Cardin's left leg with his right foot and jerked back causing Cardin to stumble and fall in surprise, his weapon still in Onyx's hand. "And your footing is all wrong, it's like you're ready to trip on yourself any second." He then dropped the mace beside Cardin and looked back to his sister. "How are you doing?" He asked in a bored tone.
"This must be a joke right?" Viola asked as she looked back to Onyx with a casual face as she sidestepped Sky's halberd that was brought down on her and then elbowed his gut causing him to lose his breath, not expecting such strength from a girl. After that she grabbed Sky by his wrist and literally lifted him up from his spot and flung him to the other side of the arena. "These are meant to be protectors of the world? They don't even qualify to be militia."
"Now now Viola don't be so rough on them." Onyx said as he grabbed Mercury's foot when he tried to kick him when he wasn't looking. He lifted him up above his head then slammed him to the ground causing him to groan in pain at his strength. "This kingdom's standards must be lower that what we had."
No one heard what Onyx said thankfully and the rest of the students charged in with Coco staying at the back and began to turn her purse into its machine gun form. Cinder did the same and stayed at the back as she turned her twin blades into its bow form and grabbed an arrow. For now she would like to avoid direct combat.
"Let's hope these children are better than those two." Viola said referring to Cardin and Sky who were starting to get up. While looking at them she dodged an arrow fired at her head by tilting it to the left. She then focused her attention to who fired the arrow, Cinder. She looked at her for a few second before doing the most unexpected thing; she smiled at her which weirded Cinder out a bit.
And now the battle was getting into action. Pyrrha charged at Viola along with Jaune, Fox maneuvered himself to the side in attempts to flank her while Sky imitated what he was doing and tried to flank Viola's other side."
"Predictable." Viola commented as she tilted her body to the right and dodged Pyrrha's sword as she tried thrusting it into her chest. She quickly grabbed her wrist using her right hand and raised up her leg in the position of a heel kick and brought it down on Pyrrha's arm causing her to bite her lip in pain. Her grip loosened on the weapon and Viola grabbed her blade with her free arm and then pushed Pyrrha to the side and kicked her towards Sky. Without time to react both Sky and Pyrrha fell to the arena floor with the latter on top of the former. Viola threw the borrowed blade at Jaune causing the blonde knight's charge to come to a halt and block the incoming weapon with his shield. The amount of strength that throw had caught Jaune off guard as he stumbled a bit. After hitting the shield the blade launched into the air and Viola grabbed it with her other hand when it was within reach and blocked both of Fox's wrist blades when he tried striking her with them. Viola easily managed to push him back and then kick him in the knee causing him to stumble a bit as he did not expect this. Before he had any time to regain balance or focus on Viola, Viola had already struck him at his torso with the blade before following it up with a thrust and then an upward slash, knocking him to the floor. She then threw the blade back at Jaune again but this time at his knee which made him fall this time and it slight pain. The next second she grabbed an arrow from the side without looking. She looked back at the shooter, Cinder, and just gave her ANOTHER smile.
Cinder knew that Viola knew something about her and that just kept her on edge whenever she would smile at her.
With Onyx he was having just as an easy time as Viola as he was fighting these students. He easily dodged a swing from Cadin again and this time kicked him in the groin making him fall down and grasp it in pain, that would keep that brute down for a while. He then dodged some strikes from Yang and Mercury who began to deliver a barrage of punches and kicks at him. They thought that it would be a good idea to team up on him and combine efforts to at least try and hit him which was a decently good idea, but it would still take more for them to take him down. After a few seconds he grabbed Yang's hand and Mercury's leg with ease and then crossed them over causing their center balance to become off and then he tripped them both over by simply pushing them to the ground with Mercury on top of Yang.
He then quickly turned around and grabbed Weiss's rapier by the middle of the blade as she tried to quickly dash at Onyx from behind and thrust his rapier into his back with the help of a glyph summoned by her semblance to launch her forward. The Schnee tried to pull her weapon away but Onyx had an iron grip. He pulled the weapon towards him causing Weiss to get pulled forward as well. He then quickly turned her around and bound her arms together by using only one of his hands and pointed her at Coco who was about to fire her giant machine gun at Onyx.
"Wait wait wait! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" Weiss shouted in panic as she saw Coco's weapon aimed at her. Thankfully Coco lowered her weapon before she could fire, but before she could do anything else she witnessed Onyx grab Weiss with both his hands and lifted her above his head in a throwing stance... Wait... Throwing stance?
"Let me go you brute!" Weiss shouted in annoyance as she waved her arms up and down like a child with her rapier in one of those hands.
"Sure!" Onyx said with a smirk before he threw Weiss directly at Coco.
"Oh Shi-!" Before Coco could dodge because of the heavy weapon she was carrying Weiss made contact with the fashionista causing both of them to hit the wall with quite an impact.
He smirked at his work and then noticed Winchester got up with anger in his eyes. He faced him while crossing his arms. "Alright Winchester, I'll entertain you a little bit more."
Cardin gave off a war cry and charged blindly at Onyx again with his mace raised. Onyx then sighed seeing this. "They never learn..." He muttered as he side stepped to the left at the last second and extending his left foot. Cardin's legs got caught on his foot and he instantly fell face first unto the floor. Onyx then kicked him on the back of the head giving him a concussion and his aura bar lowered to the red. "What?! Red already!? That was disappointing." Onyx said in an almost whiny voice.
He then looked back to Mercury and Yang who soon got up and shook their heads before looking back at Onyx. "Come on now, I'm sure you can all do better." Onyx then took one step forward, but before he could take another a certain Sky Lark flew through the air and hit Onyx by surprise causing both of them to fly to the wall with a crater forming as they made contact with it. Onyx gave out a small groan of pain as he got Sky off of him and dusted his jacket. "A bit of warning next time?" He said as he looked to his sister who now had two black falchions in her hand as she was holding off both Pyrrha and Jaune with ease, she had an innocent smile on her face. "Oopsies." She said in an innocent sing song voice as she pushed Jaune back before shoving Pyrrha away and began to deliver a barrage of strikes at her which she barely managed to block with her blade and shield.
Onyx gritted his teeth before looking back to Yang and Mercury. Now Coco and Weiss were up as well which made Onyx sigh. "Let's get this over with..." He muttered as a pole axe appeared in his hands."
"Guns don't kill people. It's impossible to be killed by a gun. We are all invincible to bullets and it's a miracle!"
-Cecil Palmer (Welcome to Nightvale)
Pyrrha was losing, but she was generally having a good time. In the first time in a long time she is feeling how you should feel when you are fighting a losing battle. To most it would be agonizingly painful, but to her it felt great. She was the invincible girl who graduated the top of her class in Sanctum Academy, won the Mistral Regional Tournament four years in a row, and was also that mascot for that cereal which she kinda forgot the name of already. And here she was fighting a battle she knew all too well she couldn't win. It was... Exciting.
She never knew feeling defeat could feel so good after a long time of winning, but she definitely knows now. What was odd though was that she couldn't use her semblance on either of them of them, not on Onyx nor Viola. She saw them summon their weapons and when she had an opportunity she tried using her semblance, but noticed something crucial. Those weapons... They weren't made out of metal. This mistake she made in hoping she could use her semblance on their weapons punished her by lowering her aura bar to about half. Who knew these two could hit like a truck? She sure didn't.
After being shoved back she tried to keep up the pressure and dashed right back in with her blade ready to swing. When she did swing it was only blocked again by Viola, but she didn't stop there. She raised her shield and bashed it on Viola's face the next second.
Viola, legitimately not noticing this, got hit directly with the shield right in the face, but that only made her head jerk back a bit before looking back at Pyrrha and blocking Fox's wrist blades again using her falchion. She gave Pyrrha a wide smile. "Very good Ms. Nikos! You managed to hit me! Try doing it again."
Pyrrha couldn't help, but smile back. "Th-Thank you Ma'am!" She managed to say, but before she could say anything else she was pushed back by Viola again. Viola focused her attention on Fox and made her Falchions disappear and then a black scythe appeared in her hands. She vertically swung her scythe at Fox who managed to block the strike with his wrist blades, but was sent back several meters, surprised at the new level of strength Viola had by simply changing weapons. When she struck Fox was knocked off balance a bit, but he still managed to stay on his feet. When he looked back at Viola she had already closed the distance between them in less than a second and hooked his leg with her scythe and managed to launch him up into the air. Unable to do anything while off the ground, Viola had him wide open. She struck him in the air with her scythe causing his body to slam into the ground with a crater forming. After that Viola hooked his torso and then threw him to the other side of the arena and this time a large crater formed when his body made contact with the wall, Fox's aura was now in the red zone.
"You all should train your aura, they are too fragile and break easily." Viola said as she rested the scythe on her shoulder.
"I agree with my sister on that!" Onyx agreed as he charged Coco with a pole axe in one hand and a great shield in the other. The great shield soaking up all the bullets Coco was shooting at him. When he was close enough, he shield bashed the fashionista causing her to lose balance. Onyx then ditched the shield by throwing it like a Frisbee at Yang and Mercury who sprinted after him, but was forced to dodge when he threw the shield at them. He then held the pole axe with both hands and horizontally swung it across Coco. Because of the weight of her weapon and the fact she was unbalanced she wasn't able to dodge the attack and took the hit straight on. That hit alone took at least 35 percent of her aura? She didn't know, all she knew was that it hurt like all hell. Being sent a few meters to the side because of the strike she tried to regain balance, but her expression turned into a dread one as she found Onyx above her with his pole axe above his head. She had a pretty good idea what he was about to do and she was very much certain that it would hurt... A lot.
Onyx then brought the pole axe down on Coco's head causing her to slam to the ground with a newly formed crater on the arena with Coco in the center of it, her aura now red.
"Who's next?" Onyx asked casually as he looked at Yang, Mercury and Weiss.
"Weiss you flank him, me and Merc will take him up front." Yang said as she reloaded her shot-gauntlets.
"Agreed." Mercury said casually as he readied himself as well.
"Are you sure that it will even matter anymore what we do? He can clearly take us out no matter how much we plan." Weiss said as she pointed at the God of Life with her rapier.
"Just do it, the least we can do is try." Yang said.
"Fine." Weiss said with a sigh as she readied herself.
Back with Viola she was staring at the last two people she would be fighting "Now it's just you, you and... You." Viola said with a smirk as she pointed at Pyrrha Nikos, Jaune, and at Cinder. "Come on now, don't leave me hanging and bored like this."
Cinder growled at Viola and shifted her bow back into it's twin blade form and readied herself to attack since she had just ran out of arrows.
Pyrrha charged back in at Viola with her shield raised. Viola easily managed to hook the shield from her arm, pulling it away from her body and struck her in the chest with the tip of the scythe before delivering an upward slash and it ended when it reached her chin. The slash made her fly up a bit and then her body hit the ground not so far away from Viola, her aura was now red.
"Your form is good, but you need to train your stamina and endurance." Viola remarked as he rested her scythe on her shoulder.
"Thank you for the fight ma'am." Pyrrha said with a groan, but she managed to smile.
"Now get to the side of the arena and please try to bring the unconscious students there as well, I would appreciate if you would." She said.
"Yes ma'am." Pyrrha said as she tried to stand up.
Viola then looked to Onyx who was easily dodging and deflecting Yang's and Mercury's barrage of attacks. "Hey Onyx, wanna trade?"
"Sure." Onyx replied as he grabbed Mercury by the ankle before he could hit him and threw him back. "Which one will you be giving me?"
"The blonde knight over here." Viola said as she side stepped a thrust from Jaune's sword. She then ducked down and sweep kicked his legs making him fall over. "I want Mercury over there." After saying that she instantly turned over to the side while lifting her scythe and blocked two blades that were brought down on her by Cinder. She was decently surprised at her speed, but it was nothing she couldn't see in time. She also noticed a crater formed beneath her feet as their weapons made contact. "On second thought I'll be leaving the rest to you, I want this girl to myself." She then grew an excited grin on her face.
Onyx grabbed Yang's hand and Mercury's leg right before they could hit him while kicking Weiss forward, cancelling her thrust. She then looked at Viola who blocked an attack from Cinder. "Damn, and I wanted to take her." He muttered. "Fine, hand him over." He then shoved the two back while re summoning his pole axe.
Viola then pushed Cinder back hard, sending her a few meters away. After that she grabbed Jaune by the collar as he tried to strike her again and threw him over to Onyx. When he was in reach Onyx slammed his pole axe into his chest causing him to be brought down into the ground, a large crater where he is in now. Surprisingly to Onyx Jaune still managed to stand up. "Still good for the fight?" He said. "Impressive, most of the people here would have their aura red by now but if I were to guess your aura must be about 50 percent or lower."
Onyx gave Jaune a little time to get up since before he could do anything else he redirected a punch from Yang with his free hand. "Let's hurry this up shall we?" Onyx said calmly as he grabbed Yang's other fist as she attempted to punch him again and his hand begun glowing white. Yang noticed this and wondered what was happening, but her thoughts were violently interrupted as a strong force pushed her back and sent her flying towards the wall. She hit the wall with a loud 'thud' and was very much surprised at what she just felt. Without getting the chance to get up, Onyx was already in front of her with his pole axe raised and brought it down on Yang, lowering her aura to the red zone.
Onyx looked back at Weiss, Mercury, and Jaune as he let his pole axe disappear. He slammed his fists together and then gauntlets similar to Yang's, but white, began materializing on his hands. "Now children, entertain me more."

- Barthimo1 (Hyun's Dojo)
"You're pretty good." Viola said as she parried another attack from Cinder and tried counter attacking, but Cinder dodged by jumping back and then almost immediately dashing towards Viola, thrusting her weapon at her. Viola simply grabbed the blade with her hand. "And that power of yours, I'm sure for a person like you it must feel... Intoxicating."
Cinder's eyes widened when Viola said that last part and she simply stared into Viola's eyes. "W-What?" Cinder asked nervously, pretending to be innocent which just made Viola chuckle.
"Not to worry child, your secret's safe with me, your destiny will most likely get boring if I spill the beans now." Viola said quietly with a smile, making sure only Cinder could hear Viola's words.
While it may not show Cinder was incredibly angry at Viola. How dare this girl treat and call her a child! How dare she play with her like a toy and verbally insult the position she was in. She would show her... When she got the other half of the Maiden powers, she would be the first to fall, and she would be begging for death.
"It's a shame though you only have half the power." Viola said quietly. "I would love to see you grow with the other half of that power."
Cinder was indeed angry, but also curious at the same time. She knew for a fact that she, and most likely her brother as well, were likely part of Ozpin's group but it confused her. If she had been discovered by this girl why hasn't she reported it to Ozpin yet? Another thought came into mind that Viola and her brother here were not part of Ozpin's group but possibly another group of people who have knowledge of the four maidens and Salem but she did not know. She would have to look into this later...
While in her train of thought Viola pointed her free hand at Cinder and a black beam of energy shot out of it and struck her causing her to fly to the wall. "But you are still too weak compared to me."
Hearing this pissed Cinder off even more and gritted her teeth. She rushed at her with blinding speed, but suddenly she felt something very hard hit her stomach making her cough out in pain. It was so painful that it forced Cinder to both drop her blades and her aura to go into the red zone. She looked in front of her and saw Viola now in front of her with a fist pushed up against her stomach. Realization then came to her that her aura completely depleted in one punch, and it didn't even look like Viola was trying.
"You need to have more control over your emotions, if you don't it could get you killed one day."
Cinder's vision began to black out as she began to fall from her position. How... How could she lose so easily? There were a few questions in her mind, but none were answered as she passed out from the pain she was experiencing.
"Well that was short, but it was certainly fun." Viola said as she dusted her clothes. "I wonder how Onyx is doing?" She got her answer when a certain blonde knight got thrown her way. With Jaune landing on Viola they both fell to the floor with Jaune on top of her, both were staring right at each other with their faces near each other.
In this situation Viola only knew one thing to do. She smirked before saying. "Hey there hot stuff~" Her voice was flirtatious and teasing like causing Jaune to blush and quickly got off her.
Onyx was currently demolishing Mercury and Weiss. With the new gauntlets he had acquired he became twice as versatile and even more dangerous. He fired a few shots at Mercury before charging at him. Mercury didn't have time to dodge and blocked them instead. Before he could do anything else Onyx was already in front of him and he didn't have any time to react or do anything in general. Onyx delivered a straight punch to the face while firing a round to increase strength and Mercury was sent flying to the other side of the arena. The force was so great that he passed through the wall into the hallway outside causing a few people outside to jump in surprise. Despite all this Mercury was generally fine, but his aura was red.
Onyx then looked to Weiss who held her rapier in a fencing stance. Onyx got into defensive position before gesturing to her, for her to attack him. Weiss looked at Onyx for a few seconds before sighing a dropping her rapier to the ground. "I submit, you win." Weiss said as she raised her arms in defeat.
Onyx couldn't help but chuckle as he now stood normally and the gauntlets disappeared from his hands. "Very wise Ms. Schnee. Knowing when to give up when you know you will lose. You know there is strength is wisdom and for that I praise you." Onyx then gave Weiss a small bow, surprising the heiress a bit. Viola then walked up to Onyx. "I think that concludes the lesson?"
"Yes it does." Onyx said as he yawned. "I'm sleepy."
And that was the god sibling's first day teaching the students of Beacon Academy. As for what happened to the injured students it is very obvious that they were sent to the infirmary. Oddly enough they recovered quite quickly, on the same day at the matter of fact. No one knows why but once all the students left the infirmary Onyx himself came out of the infirmary with his hands glowing white.
"We only live to die... Now that's just a bad ending to a mildly interesting story..."

AN: WHOO! That was fun to write. For those of you who have finished reading this chapter (or have just skipped the entire thing and came all the way down here to read the Author's Note for who knows what reason) You may have noticed I put up a reference somewhere in here but I'll let you try and find it. Just to sweeten the deal I'll give out a spoiler for the first person that finds it and calls it out in the reviews. ANYWAYS! Thanks for reading and follow and favorite if it's to your liking.
I'll see you all in the next chapter.
