(Author's Note)

Hey guys, 0n3dgeGaming here and welcome to another chapter of Hunter.

Last time… you know what happened.

Onto the story!

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!?"

"I'd like to think I'm not." Said Ozpin, taking a sip from his mug.

Ironwood had his hands on the table, his eyes staring at Ozpin.

"Not only do you not give the specimen over to the atlas military, but you're letting it participate in the Vytal tournament!?" Asked Ironwood.

"James, he's not some random criminal that you can go throw in a cell, and wait for the results from your scientists tests. He's just a kid, a kid who now has mutated grimm cells coursing through his body, but a kid none the less." Said Ozpin.

"With all due respect Professor…" Began Goodwitch.

"Glynda, you know as well as I do how capable he is. And trust me… he has something up his sleeve…"

"So as I was saying about my Father…"

"I would take ANY opportunity to get the hell out of here…" I said.

I was currently stuck in Port's class, and he was telling one of his 'stories'.

"You okay?" Asked Tehg. "You've been… a lot more… tense, since the breach."

"I just… I don't feel right. It's like… I'm scared of myself…" I said.

"Speaking of being scared, what's with you? Whenever you're near Ruby you just sorta… Shrink." Said Alex.

"Huh?" I asked.

"It's like what happens when you're getting cornered by Iris Heart." Said Tehg. "Except the fact that YOU are finally showing that stance."

"I just… I'm terrified of her for some reason… and I can't tell why for the life of me…" I said.

"It's okay…" Said Plutia.

"Thanks." I said, calming down at her words.

"And then there's this. Why is it that Plutia is like… your calm button of sorts?" Asked Alex.

"It's just… She keeps me from… freaking out." I said.

"Now then!" We heard Port say. "We have recently discovered a new mutation in certain Grimm. This mutation has made some Grimm… as we call it: 'Infected'."

"This is new…" Said Tehg.

I gulped, my left hand shaking uncontrollably.

"Now then, can I have a volunteer?" Asked Port.

Port's eyes scanned the room before landing on me.

"Bryce! You haven't done something like this in a few weeks! Come on up!" Said Port.

"I don't think this is such a good idea.." I tried to argue.

"We don't have all day Bryce." Said Port.

I made my way to the front of the classroom, in my hands was my sword.

"Let the match… BEGIN!" Shouted Port, raising his weapon.

The cage holding the Infected burst open, in its place stood a Hunter (Prototype). It looked like an Ursa if it was more… bloody.

I raised my sword, trying to compose myself.

The beast lunged at me, at that moment, my instincts took in and I threw my sword at it and backed away in fear.

The creature slowly walked towards me, Port grabbed his weapon just in case.

'Really? *SIGH* Man you are a mess… Let me take care of the problem.' I heard a voice say.

Everything went red for a few seconds before my vision was restored.

In my hand was the beast's still beating heart, my hand having gone through it's chest.

I crushed it, before pushing the thing off me and started taking deep breaths.

"I… what just happened?" I heard Tehg ask.

*RING RING*

"That's it for today class. Enjoy your weekend!" Said Port.

My team walked towards me, Plutia placing her hand on my shoulder.

"I'm… I'm good." I said.

Teams RWBY and JNPR walked towards us as well.

"What the hell happened?" Asked Weiss.

"You alright." Asked Ruby.

The moment her words left her mouth, I was already curling up into Plutia in defense.

"...What's with him?" Asked Blake.

"He's been like this since the breach." Said Tehg. "We aren't sure what it is."

"Welp, congrats sis! You just scared someone! Great job!" Said Yang, congratulating her sister.

I glared at Yang before Ruby looked at me with sorry eyes…

I tried to escape into the entity that was Plutia… Yeah I don't see myself doing that anytime soon.

"Come on, we got the rest of the weekend before the festival starts up and we got things to do." Said Alex.

"See yah guys!" Said Tehg.

"Bye!" Said Ruby.

I stood up and quickly booked it, running down the hallway. However my run had created cracks in the floor.

I opened my door before pulling the sheets of my bed off and rolling into a ball in the middle of the room.

"Man, I did NOT think it was this bad…" Said Nomia.

The others walked in to see my figure covered in blankets in the fetal position.

"*SIGH* I'll go get the mountain dew…" Said Alex.

"See! He doesn't even know what he's doing!" Said Ironwood.

"I think he knows full well of what he's doing." Said Ozpin.

Ironwood leaned in and glared at Ozpin.

"Ozpin, if you fail to realize how much of a threat that he is-"

"I know full well how much of a threat he is. But again, he's still human." Said Ozpin, standing up.

"And I wouldn't let some cruel punishment like that befall someone in his predicament." Said Ozpin.

Ironwood sighed, turning around to walk to the elevator.

"Thanks for the chat." Said Ozpin.

The elevator doors closed and Ozpin took a seat down.

"...He's ready… I have my utmost faith in him." Said Ozpin, the response sounding like he was speaking to someone new.

Later…

"*EXHALE* ...You got this Bryce… you got this…" I said to myself, looking at myself in the mirror.

I turned around and grabbed a green metal suitcase that was left near me. I grabbed my sword from the side of my desk and slung it over my back.

I blinked away from the dorm and into the arena.

"Sorry I'm late… had something to take care of." I said, looking at my teammates.

"No worries, good thing is you're still here." Said Tehg.

"Yeah, we don't need to use Nomia for this one." Said Alex.

"Speaking off, she's with Team RWBY watching the fight." Said Tehg.

I looked to my right to see what was just described.

I took a deep breath.

"You alright?" He asked.

"I'll be fine." I said.

It was at this point a VERY interesting team walked in our direction.

"Alright let's do… this…" The guy I assume was their leader began. "...Bryce?"

"G1?" I asked.

"For team purposes it's Steven, but yeah." He said.

I looked at his team, It consisted of Steven, Johnny, Storm, and Tamazaki.

"How the hell does your team name fit?" Tehg asked.

"It doesn't." Said Johnny.

"Our headmaster gave up and assigned us one that we voted on." Said Storm.

"I see… and that is?" Asked Alex.

The intercom activated and Port's voice rang out across the stadium.

"The fight between team BAPT and Team DMC5 Will now begin!"

But I guess i'll have to leave this for… NEXT TIME on TFS plays- wait, wrong series.

Hope you guys enjoyed, and I'm out of my hiatus. May still be a bit before another update, but It'll be more frequent.

So until next time

DFTBA
