Sorry for my bad English.
I will start saying that someone send me a message giving me some suggestions with what to do in this fic. While some of the suggestions caught my attention, they would enter in conflict with what I already had planned.
Other thing is that I have no interest in make Neo change sides. I think she is a very interesting type of villain to just turn her into one of the good guys, so not going to happen in this fanfiction.
Another thing is that I will not made Ceodore have a harem for two reasons. The first one being that I already made a poll to decide with girl the apprentice will be pairing with. The second reason is that I personally don't like those types of fic where a guy get all the girls just for being nice or something like that. With that in mind, no harem.
The third one is to make some of the characters that died in the show survive and join the hero's party. I may or not make some characters survive depending of the development of the history. I believe that a character cannot survive just because I want him to survive. I mean, if I have to make Sienna Khan survive, I would have to think about how she lived through Adam's coup it is that the name right? And what benefits this would bring to the history. While I enjoy see a deceased character live through a fanfiction, I don't like too much that he lives just because the author or the readers want him to live.
I thought about what happen to Sienna a bit sad and a waste of a character with potential like so many fans of the series, but what I think the biggest problem was the way she died. It was her first appearance and the Rooster Teeth already discarded her. I would like to see her in some more episodes, or make her live to start a Civil War inside of the White Fang, but like I said before, I have think how this will benefit my history or I already thought with that Civil War thing.
Now about the poll, it seems that Pyrrha turn the table and now is on the first place followed by Ruby and Weiss behind her. I will close the poll soon.
Enough reading about my personal thoughts and to the fic.
Ceodore needed to gain some physical strength if he wanted to wield a weapon one day. So for today's training, Mile ordered to him to push a large rock with a rope tied in his chest and shoulders.
Mile slowly moved his head down as Ceodore started to run so fast that his feats were digging the floor below his feets. Miles keep lowering his head until Ceodore was completely under the floor.
-Master. –Ceodore called –Maybe I should start with a rock less heavy.
Miles couldn't agree more with his apprentice.
Somewhere in Atlas
Winter already had a lot of missions since she joined the army of Atlas, but even her become surprise when she got a mission involving miasma, the very disease of Remnant. Even more she could not believe that a ex-general actually was hiding miasma from his superiors and his comrades in the army.
Dragoon was a man that not only her, but Ironwood have nothing than respect for, but she also knows what is the risk of keep something so crucial and dangerous for himself. She know his history and feel pity for what happened to his family, but the sample Dragoon had for himself could help Atlas to give a step ahead on cure miasma. Dragoon should know that more than anyone else since his family died because of miasma, so why did he hid that sample from everyone?
-Commander. –Winter was put out of her thoughts by the voice of the prototype approaching her. –We are ready to depart.
-Ah. Yes. –Winter said as she look at the steel box a soldier was pushing with a dolly. He seemed to be cautious about transport the vial. –How are you holding Crimson? That robot has a very powerful fire power. I'm surprise to see you not in pieces.
-The doctor made my body more with a more dense metal alloy since I was designed to assist any mission with miasma. –Crimson said looking at his own arms. –So have no need to worry about my well being Commander.
-No sense. –Winter waved with her hand. –Right now, you are one of my soldiers, so I worry about you as I worry about them.
Be see as a equal by someone made the prototype enter in deep thought to process the words he just heard.
For all effects, Crimson is a robot. A prototype build by a genius on robotic to be used on missions related to miasma. Different from his sister, he actually think twice about the orders he receive, but why?
He suppose to be a machine, only obey the order from his creator or his superiors, so why sometimes he wishes to question the actions those who control him take?
Different from Penny, he keep stuck in the lab with the doctor until a mission with miasma is arranged. Until then, he keep passing his days on the lab doing whatever he can do. Of course, he wonders why his sister can walk freely sometimes while he never his existence had permission to walk around and interact with other humans who are not the soldiers, the general, the commander and his father.
A little after Penny was activated, she was send to interact with those she later will protect while Crimson still was stuck in the lab.
Then the commander says that she worry about him just like she worry about the soldiers' well being.
-Commander… -Crimson called in low voice.
-Something on your mind?
-I don't have a mind but… I was wondering…
-About Penny being able to walk freely while you stay in the lab, right?
-It seems that I'm very predictable about my actions.
-Crimson, me, general, your father, all of us discussed this matter already.
-But they would not know that I'm a prototype. –Crimson said. –I could… -Suddenly he stopped to talk.
-Crimson?
-I'm detecting signs of miasma.
-What?! Where?!
-In Vale.
-I will tell to a soldier send you there.
-What about you?
-I have to give the sample to my superiors. They will decide what to do with what we found. –Winter explained to the prototype. –Remember that was the reason you was created.
-For missions involving miasma.
With a firm nod from both sides, Winter went of the ship for her to give the sample of miasma back to her superiors while Crimson went to a different ship with a soldier with destination to Vale.
Vale
The cavalry finally arrived, but none of the students of Beacon thought in see their Dust teacher in the battle field. Peach seemed more the type of a intellectual who stay behind and watch the battle from afar rather than one of the fighters.
Ruby watch her teacher dodge each strike from the grimms with some difficult while using the her lab coat to attack the grimm. She already heard about combat dresses but never a lab coat with a tail.
The teacher's lab coat had some spikes like spears on the tail of her lab coat and she was using both her arms to swing it against the grimm she was fighting. Almost like a whip, she struck the monster swinging her clothe after dodge one of his claws. She dodges a attack aimed to her face, the step aside to dodge another strike, then she jump to avoid the tail and spin in midair, resulting with one of the spikes of her coat hitting the miasma grimm straight on the face. But was not enough to take him down and he quickly delivered another strike back at the pinkie haired teacher, only to stop before his paw could touch the dark blade in the hold of the blind samurai. Both professors were surprised by the fact that the grimm seemed to be careful about Fernando's katana.
-Fernando. –Peach called him. –I believe that Glynda is in need of some assistance.
-Are you sure that want to face that thing alone? –Fernando asked.
-I will be fine. I just need to not let him hit me right? –Fernando remain silent for a moment before nod to her and went to assist Glynda. Peach stared at the miasma grimm and was again surprised to see the monster making a face that seemed to say "This is courage or just arrogance?" -It is just good sense.
She answered not knowing if he really understood and prepared herself.
A little far from there, Coco was trying to hit the Beowulf with her minigun but the beast keep running away from her aim and quickly going to her direct, but Port put himself between the monster and her.
-The reinforcement already arrived! –He said while holding the monsters. –Let this battle for us.
-What?! No way we are going to let those monsters for only the professors. –Coco stated.
-Coco, he may be right. –Velvet spoke next to her. –Nothing we do is making any effect against them.
-Is better we left this matter to more experienced fighters. –Yatsuhashi spoke after Velvet. –We must believe in the skills of our professors have.
Coco groaned before submit.
-Grrr! Fine! –She said putting her weapon back. –What way to make me feel useless here.
-You are not the only one. –A voice spoke and the CFVY turn around to see Ceodore walking toward them. Their eyes widened at his appearance. –And yes! I am the apprentice of the Dark Knight, please hold your weapons.
-Nothing personal, but… -A crash interrupted Coco before she continued. -… you are very different from what I expected.
-Can we talk about this later?! –Ceodore asked.
Back at Port, he was doing his best to not be overpowered by the monster as their started a strength contest, pushing his hands against the monster's paws.
-You sure will give me a epic tale for my students after this! –Port pushed himself back with the Beowulf with him, then threw him on the floor with force enough to create a hole, the monsters then grabbed him by the neck and threw him on the floor next to him. They both got back in two feets and stared at each other. –You sure are a formidable opponent.
Before he could say something else, the Beowulf raised his arm to block a strike from Oobleck.
-Not to mean to ruin your monologue here Port, but Fernando just arrived with his sword. –Oobleck spoke to his co-worker.
-Understood. And where he is now?
-It seems that Peach wished for him to give some assistance to Glynda.
Speaking of Glynda, she finally got hold of her opponent and was smashing him in the concrete of the street, hoping to cause some damage. The monster growled after left the hole where it was after be smashed so many times. The growl actually make Glynda take a step back.
He was angered.
He dashed in her direction and Glynda got ready, but before she could do anything, Fernando appeared in front of her and hold the beast with two katanas. One of the katanas actually going through it skin.
-About time Fernando. –Glynda complain to the blind man. –What took you so long?
-Had more grimms around the town. –Fernando answered. –And can you give me a break? I'm blind, remember?
-Had more of those grimms back where did you came? –Glynda asked ignoring his question.
-Just one. –Fernando pushed the monster away. The Beowulf look at his wound. Fernando could hear something wet dropping on the floor. –Glynda, it is bleeding?
-I-it is. –Glynda said.
Grimms not suppose to bleed. But they were not normal Beowulves. The monster charged a energy shot.
-Glynda, what this is doing? –Fernando asked.
-Jump! –She just shout.
The explosion send them both in different directions. As Fernando put himself back in two feets, had to block a strike from behind. He swung his katanas trying to kill the grimm, but for his surprise, he avoided one of the katanas while blocked the other.
-He notices? –Fernando thought to himself as he pushed the grimm away. He ducked the strike from another and Glynda just shot against the one behind the samurai. She landed closer to him and were back to back with each other. –Glynda, he notices.
-Give me your katana.
Both Beowulves charged and Fernando give one of his katanas to Glynda. While the one Fernando face knew why should avoid his attacks, the one Glynda decide to take care did not know why suddenly the witch was using a bladed weapon.
Using her powers, Glynda moved the katana to above and raised a barrier to block the monster, who punched the barrier with all force he have, once breaking through her defense ocne again, he was struck from behind by a black blade. Glynda pushed the blade with her telekinesis, ending with the half of the grimm's body split in two.
-One down! –Ruby cheared as she along with her classmates were watching their teachers fighting against the miasma grimms. –Just four more and victory!
-Wait Ruby. –Ceodore spoke. –Did you said four?
-Yes. What's the problem?
-There are only three of them over there.
-Watch out! –Coco shout as everyone around jumped off the way to not be exploded.
-One of them snuck behind us! –Ren shout and was the first one to engaged for battle.
-Ren! Wait! –Ceodore called but was ignored. –Only with miasma! –He shout and joined his teammate to fight.
Ren slashed the grimm with all force he could use, but was having no effect. The monster grabbed one of his arms and got ready to use his claw but the attack was blocked by Ceodore. Pyrrha shot at his face with her gun to give her teammates time to take some space, but the Beowulf just threw Ren at the redhead. Nora run after him and tried to smash him with her hammer. The monster jumped back avoiding the hammer strike and start to block strikes from both Fox and Velvet. They both were send flying away by the Beowulf who receive a cut on his chest sending him to the floor, courtesy of Yatsuhashi.
Once on the floor, Nora tried again smash the monsters with her hammer, this time she connected the strike but the Beowulf blocked the attack with his arms. The grimm used his tail to hit Nora away and immediately rolled to the left to dodge the shots from Coco and Pyrrha. He charged another ball of energy and shot at the girls direction, only to be intercepted by a white arc of aura from Ceodore. The Beowulf glared at the apprentice who put his sword back and positioned his shield. Velvet saw that and couldn't help but ask to herself.
-Why did he not use both his sword and shield?
Back to Oobleck and Port, the doctor was running so fast that could hardly be see by naked eye. The Beowulf could felt strikes coming from all sides, until his tail hit the leg of the caffeinated professor, sending him rolling on the floor. The Beowulf jumped at his direction and oddly enough, aimed a kick at his fallen opponent. Port stood between them and blocked the kick with his kick, causing a shockwave. Port pushed him away and charged the monster, trading blows with his axe and dodging and blocking his opponent's attacks. They started to push each other while the Beowulf open his jaw to charge another energy shot.
Port notices that and give a uppercut at the monster's chin, sending the ball of energy flying away and exploding after make contact with a building nearby. The Beowulf covered his face with his paws to block the shots from both Oobleck and Port weapons. Angered, the grimm let a roar with all his mighty and charged against the duo.
Peach was not going better than her fellow professors.
-Perhabs would be better have Fernando with me.
She said a dodged another claw attack from the miasma grimm. The monster was more than angered for the fact that could not connect any of his strikes against the pink haired woman. What pissed him more was almost every time she dodge his attacks, she swung the tail of her lab coat and cut his body with the blades on her coat.
She dodge two attacks from the grimm and jumped the third attack and made a spin in midair, hitting the Beowulf straight on the face. The monster let a growl angered and tried to crush the professor with both his arms. She jumped to above him and threw from her sleeves a bunch of kunais. The blades hardly made any effect against the grimm. The blades she threw collide against the black fur and the skull like armor like were spit paper balls against a armor.
She keep throwing more kunais against the grimm only to hold him until Fernando come back with his blade. Tired of the game of tag, the Beowulf charged a energy ball against the professor. Peach knew that this energy means trouble, and threw a kunai with some ice dust on it. The kunai froze the Beowulf's head before he could shot and the energy ball exploded on his face.
Peach start to wonder if she not needed Fernando at all and her answer came with the grimm shaking his head. Their eyes met and as they did the grimm growled and revealed his teeth. Peach sighed.
-Peeeeerfect. –She said.
The samurai now is one hundred percent sure. Those grimms know that they need to avoid be hit by his katana. How he still don't know. He wonder about that while trying to cut the Beowulf with his blade while the grimm did his best to dodge his attacks.
-Glynda! They are learning! And fast! –Fernando shout to Glynda. -Meanwhile the blonde was trying to find a opening to use her semblance against the grimm, but was hard with Fernando so close to him. She needed to made in the right time. When she thought the time had come, the monster actually jumped off the way, ending with Fernando being hold by her semblance. –Glynda! –Fernando shout annoyed.
The samurai then felt a punch hit him straight at his face. Glynda shows no sign of worry for knowing that why the grimm's attack had no effect. The Beowulf was shocked for his attack had no effect against the human he was fighting against. He jumped back and Fernando threw his katana for him. The monster held the weapon with his hand confused by the action the samurai took. Fernando just smiled.
Suddenly the katana become heavy. Heavy enough to make the grimm's arm fall with the katana, trapping his hand below the weapon. Using all his force, he was able to lift the Katana a little. He had to make a huge effort to lift his arm and let the blade fall on the floor, but it didn't fall. The katana was floating in midair and Fernando suddenly appeared in front of him. He did not lose time to attack the grimm with his katana, but he still was fast enough to grab the blade. Then the monster notices something. The blade what cut through one of his kind did not have any effect against his skin. His red eyes widen when he notices that the blade is grey instead of black. It is another katana!
He notices too late. Glynda used her telekinesis to use the katana to cut both his legs. The monster screamed but was short least when Fernando pierced his head with his black katana. Once their second enemy was down, Glynda walk to Fernando's side.
-One more down. –The blonde calmly spoke.
-Did you really hold me with your semblance? –Fernando asked.
-Can we talk about this later? –Glynda asked annoyed.
Coco, Velvet, Ren, Ceodore, Yang and Weiss jumped off the Beowulf's way when the monster, using both his arms to hold Yatsuhashi's sword, pushed the samurai from CVFY team while the later was using his own strength to not let the grimm put him down. The grimm then decide to throw his opponent away with his weapon and turn his attention to another of his enemies.
But before could took any action, a red blur sliced his face, then his shoulder, his belly, his knee and before the next slash, he shot a dark beam from his mouth, stopping Ruby before she could be hit and making everyone around retreat a little.
-What!? –Coco shout. –None of them did this before!
-It is becoming stronger… -Ceodore said.
-Terrible le-I mean, Ceodore, what we do? –Nora asked to her leader, but Yang answered.
-Easy, kill this thing before become more stronger! –The blonde dashed.
-Yang wait! –Blake called but was ignored.
Yang already has raised her first to knock the miasma grimm to another kingdom. The grimm raised his claw to counter the attack of the human, the fist collide with the palm, the claws not being able to cut the flesh. Yang raised another fist and the grimm did the same, resulting in exactly the same as before, except that the grimm had a dark ray now and was holding Yang with both his arms. Seeing this before, she kicked him on the shin, the dark ray was shot to the sky.
Everyone except for Yang see the dark energy rose and rose to the sky, everyone watch with eyes wide open the ray explode and send a rain of black energy around. Not wanting to be caught in the attack, everyone left the range, except for Yang who was still being hold by the grimm. The apprentice start to dash in high speed on the blonde's direction.
-Ceodore! –Pyrrha called.
Yang was starting to be overpowered by the grimm's strength. She could not use her semblance for not receive too much damage on the fight, using now would just waste her energy. She was so focused in the grimm in front of her that didn't notice the rain of dark energy coming. She was surprised by Ceodore shield-bashing the grimm away.
-What do you think…
-Get down! –Ceodore shout interrupting her, coming closer to her and putting his shield above their both.
The rain come down destroying everything in the street. The asphalt, benches, light poles, mailboxes, public phones, even a nearby building were decimated by the rain. The rain also hit the grimm as well.
-Yang!/Ceodore! –Both Ruby and Pyrrha screamed.
-What was that? –Oobleck asked after heard the loud noise of destruction nearby.
-We will have to worry about that later. –Port spoke. –I afraid that our enemy is getting stronger! –Port said sounding worried.
The grimm fighting against the huntsmens in training was not the only one who used a dark ray.
With the energy radiating from his jaw, he slowly approached his enemies with confidence clear in his moves. Fortunately, he also seems to becoming tired of all this battle. Of course, the huntsmens also were being tired, but they have the numerical advantage.
Maybe was by instinct that the grimm used the same tactic the one against the student used. Shooting the ray to the sky, the dark energy immediately explode once was high in the sky and showered around. Port decide to take his distance. The grimm saw everything in front of hims be devastated by his attack.
-Impressive! –A voice spoke from behind him. After he turn around to see who was, he received a strike on his face, another between the bones of his belly and again on his face. Oobleck was able to run through the rain thanks to his speed. –But seems that you don't know how to properly use those new moves. It is like a child using a weapon for the first time. Yet, this evolution maybe, no. Will be dangerous if we allow it.
The grimm tried to open his mouth and use the ray once again, only to be hold by the neck and arm and be throw away by Port. It seems that the table turn in the favor of the hunstmens.
Peach know is sure she needed Fernando's help. She knew Glynda enough to know that she would handle herself against those types of Beowulf.
She start to think that after she start to dodge those dark energy shots that they seems to enjoy to use. The teachers also notices that he was becoming stronger. She start easily dodging his attacks, but after some minutes of battle, the grimm was starting to get closer to her reaction speed. If keep going like that, she knew that soon enough, he will out-speed her reaction time.
Her kunais, with dust or not, were doing no effect against him and will not take too much time for her run out of kunais. She didn't know that would eventually face a such dangerous grimm so she didn't brought too much of her kunais.
She threw a electric kunai with hope to stun the grimm. It work for a second, but only for second. The grimm quickly recovered and tried to decapitate the professor. She was able to dodge on the last second but lost a little of her hair. She jumped back and threw two ice kunais on his feet and stuck him on the floor with ice. But he broke free from the ice and jumped after Peach with his claws aimed to her belly to cut the woman in half. She see the move coming and was able to spin in midair, resulting with the tail of her lab coat hitting the grimm's face.
She landed in two feets and the grimm fall face first on the floor. Frustrated, he punch the floor in anger.
-They act more and more like humans. –Peach thought as she watches the grimm get up and run to her direction. She got ready for him but the monster was crashed by the rubble from the battle. –What the?
Peach wonder what happened but notices that different from the ice dust, the grimm was not being able to free himself from the rubbles. It was like weight tons. She let a sigh after notices what happened.
-Sorry for the wait. –Fernando said with Glynda walking by his side.
-What take you so long? –Peach asked. –I'm surprise how long take you to kill one of them together with Glynda.
-Peach, you must have notice that those grimms are not normal. –Glynda said trying ratiocinate with Peach. –Whatever what are those grimms, they…
-Miasma grimms. –Fernando said.
-What?
-They are grimms infused with miasma. –Fernando explained.
-How did you know that? –Peach asked with a eyebrow raised.
-I heard Ceodore calling them like that.
-Wait. –Glynda spoke. –Ceodore is here?
After the dust went down, Pyrrha and Ruby were worried to see the heavily wounded bodies of both Ceodore and Yang. For their surprise, they were greeted by the vision of Ceodore holding his shield above his head and with Yang under the shield and holding it. The blonde and the apprentice were standing in a little amount of asphalt surrounded by a almost completely destroyed street.
-Wow. –Yang spoke. –Now that's a shield.
-Considering the former owner, this is a statement. –Ceodore spoke then look around for the miasma grimm. He was sure that he also was caught in his own attack.
His eyes widen in surprise when he notices the grimm still standing in two feets, but his body very wounded.
-It is wounded! –Ruby shout.
-It seems that even his body cannot withstand his own power. –Stated Weiss.
-But nothing we did have any effect before. –Velvet said. –How come only now he is wounded.
-Miasma. –Ren said caught everyone's attention. –His attack was composed by miasma, and like a backfiring shot, he was hurt by his own attack.
-Miasma can affect his body? –Fox asked. –But we can't make him hurt himself like that again.
-Fox is right. –Coco spoke. –It seems that he is not only become stronger but also smarter. I don't think he will hurt himself like that again.
Ceodore heard the leader of CVFY and focus his attention to the wounded grimm. Only miasma was able to hurt the monster so far. And miasma is something they actually have in their hands, or in his hands.
-Everyone. –Ceodore called. –Stay back.
-Ceodore, what are you gonna do? –Pyrrha asked.
-Something that I should have done from the beginning. –Was all he said as he started to walk in the direction of the Beowulf.
-Ceodore wait! –Weiss called him. –He is wounded! Perhaps now we can make some damage against him.
-I don't think it is that simple Weiss. –Ceodore said as keep walking.
-Ceodore! Don't tell you going to… -Pyrrha tried to ask but stopped when saw some dark aura surround her leader's body.
-Ceodore. –Ruby quietly spoke. –You're going to…
At this rate was obvious to team RWBY and CNVL. Ceodore was going to use his miasma.
A dark stain start to appear on his face, covering his left cheek and eye, as his left arm while he put his arm on the hold of his sword and pull his weapon out while putting back his shield. From his left body the same dark energy the Beowulf was radiating start to glow high in the sky. The memory of the initiation come to Pyrrha's mind, exactly when Ceodore was buried by boulders, when a dark energy rose to the sky and he freed himself from those rocks. With the miasma, a scream.
Both professors and the grimm stopped their fight for a moment after heard the scream from someone that both Oobleck and Port recognize as from the apprentice of the Dark Knight. Then their heard the Beowulf scream in pain.
Both turn around to see what caused the monster finally feel pain and see Fernando piercing the grimm with his black katana from his back, ultimately cutting him in two. The upper part of his body fall to the left while the lower part fall on the knees and lay unmoving on the floor.
-He let his guard down. –Fernando spoke. -Someone else just heard Ceodore screaming?
-It come from that direction. –Peach said showing to them where the dark energy rose a minute ago.
-Are you pointing? –Fernando asked.
-Oh, sorry.
The three team witnessed the apprentice glowing more and more with miasma as the scream finally stopped. His eyes covered by miasma was all black with a red pupil. Half of his body covered with a dark purple stain that seemed some kind of infection on his skin. Actually some of them were a little afraid of the vision in front of them.
Pyrrha wanted to walk closer to Ceodore, to see if he is okay, but she know what will happen if she try that. Her body already receive a good dose of miasma and this actually is something she don't want to experience again. This makes her wonder how come Ceodore is withstanding this energy inside of his body.
Ruby was almost exactly on the same boot as her redhead friend. She actually take a step closer but was stopped by her partner who put a hand on her shoulder to call her attention.
-Ruby, you know what will happen to you if you come closer to him with his body like that. –Weiss said in low voice.
-But we can let he fight alone against this Beowulf. –Ruby said with worry in her tone. –You said yourself that now maybe we can cause him some harm.
-I know what I said, but now is too late. He already is radiating miasma. I guess now we can only watch to until Ceodore turn off his miasma.
Ruby wanted to argue but found some reason in the words Weiss spoke. She along everyone watch him slowly walk to the Miasma Grimm with almost no expression on his face. The grimm was not intimidated and charged against him in high speed. The monster prepared the right claw to end the apprentice in one strike.
The apprentice shocked everyone when he just raised one arm and hold the arm of the grimm without any effort. The Beowulf also seemed shocked but immediately try a attack with his left hand, but Ceodore just dodge the attack and pierce his arm with his sword, which the blade is also covered in miasma. The grimm start to charge another beam but had his upper jaw cut in one instant by the apprentice blade, resulting with the energy escaping to above, while the grimm screamed in pain for have part of his face cut out.
Acting by instinct, the grimm covered the claws of his good arm with dark energy what seemed a dark purple flame covering his hand and attacked Ceodore, the apprentince counter with his sword cutting the claws out and making the grimm scream even more. The monster look to his hand and see that he not only lost his claws but his finger too.
The grimm tunr around and try hit Ceodore with his tail only to be hold by the apprentice and be throw on the floor with force enough to make a little crater. Ceodore walk closer to the grimm to see if he was down for good. The grimm quickly use his good arm to try stap him with his claws only to stop a few millimeters before would connect with his armor. It was like a inivisible barrier was holding the claws to not come closer.
Ceodore grabbed the writ of the monster and threw him out of the crater. Everyone watch the scene with eyes and mouth wide open. Before none of them could do too much against the Miasma Grimm, then Ceodore start to use his own miasma and is having the upper hand against his opponent.
-He is so powerful. –Pyrrha unconsciously spoke.
-So this is the power the Dark Knight hold. –Blake said.
Ceodore have to admire the gust of his opponent. Even with the fingers of his right arm cut, his left arm broke and his upper jaw cut, the Beowulf still got up to continue to fight. In a last attempt to survive, the Beowulf charged against Ceodore, staggering a little in his run.
The action make Ceodore remember about something Miles talk to him once.
-I didn't know what to think at the time. –Miles spoke. –He was acting like knew what was going on.
-Like he was thinking? –Ceodore asked to his master.
-Grimms not know how to think properly. They only know to kill, but some of the Miasma Grimms I faced in the past show signs to be conscious about their actions. Miasma make more than make them stronger, miasma evolves them.
-Do you know how?
-The only theory I have is that miasma works like aura for them.
-Miasma is like aura for grimms?
-Yes, but don't be mistaken. Just because they can think doesn't mean that they will become meek. Is exactly the opposite. If they keep evolving like that…
-… they will become a huge threat to Remnant. –Ceodore finished the words his master told to him.
With that in mind, Ceodore raised his sword to above and with a swing of his weapon, he shout from the blade a arc of dark purple energy. The arc was twice the size of the arcs he usually shout from his sword. The arc fly straight cutting some of the floor below it and flying straight on the Beouwulf's direction, even with that, he did not slow down on his running.
The grimm slowly start to split in two with both sides falling on the floor. The Miasma Grimm now was definitely defeated. With that in mind the dark aura around Ceodore start to fade away, and the apprentice fall on one knee breathing hard.
-Ceodore! –He heard the cry from his friend who now are approaching since he isolated his miasma back on his body. –Ceodore, that's was amazing! –Ruby cheered.
-I didn't know that miasma could make someone so strong. –Velvet spoke after witness Ceodore easily take down the grimm.
-Ceodore, what happened to you? –Pyrrha couldn't help but ask. –I thought that miasma would hurt people.
-Well, you are not wrong, but you also is not right. –Ceodore said.
-Oh really? –A cold voice spoke and everyone turn their attention to the professors approaching. –Care to explain to us? –Once Ceodore recognize the voice who made the question, he quickly become afraid.
-Hohohohooo! Ms. Goodwitch! –Ceodore spoke with nervousness in his voice. –Fancy meeting you here. You did something on your hair? You look niiice!
-Ceodore, do you have permission to be in Vale? –Glynda asked making Ceodore start to scratch the back of his head.
-Well… no… -Glynda sighed… and hit Ceodore with her crop. –Ouch!
End of the longest chapter so far. I wanted to make a battle scene involving everyone on the Breach so the of course the chatper would be longer. I also wanted to add some of the OCs but would take more time to complete the chapter and I don't know if would make any good add them to the battle.
About Fernando easily killing the Miasma Grimms, I'm sorry but will have to wait for the next chapter to know how he could kill them so easily. Now about Peach.
She don't have any information about her appearance so I decide to something like a scientist with pink hair obviously. Her lab coat was a idea what come to my mind while I was playing The King Of Fighters 2000. Whoever played that game will see that the finaly boss' clothes had some blades that he used to attack. So I thought, how this would in Remnant? Since Peach not have any physical appearance and no information about a battle experience, I decide to let her use something like that along with kunais with dust for long range combat. If you want to have a idea of how exactly she uses her coat, just give a look on the final boss from KOF 2000 and the sub boss from KOF 2001, they are almost the same.
About the effects of miasma, of course the only effect would not be change Ceodore's appearance and kill people like some decease. Miles itself is the prove of that. What happened in this chapter was just a little taste of what miasma really can do.
Finally, I forgot to mention that someone asked me about Milk, with her being Ruby and Yang's counsin and all, but I can not tell too much about her in this fic since would give spoilers about her past and her family. Some readers know that I like to make somethings different from other authors, so her story will be very different from the other sibling OCs around this site.
Well, that's all folks. Merry Chrisitmas, a Happy New Year and see you in the next chapter.
