Chapter 13: Trials of JNPR

Team JNPR faced off against their opponents. Some having easier times than others.

Ren, fighting the grotesque scorpion-like alien called Corpius, was one of the latter. His weapons were not suited for fighting this heavily armored enemy. His only advantage was his speed. Despite this he was getting tired dodging. Unlike the others, excluding Jaune, Ren did not have a semblance that aided in combating things other than grimm. His semblance only concealed emotion, so there was nothing that he could use.

Despite this, he fought on. He searched constantly for a weak point to exploit. He pushed himself to move faster and faster. He was not going to give up. His family and home had been wiped out by the Nuckelavee Grimm. Compared to that beast, this abomination seemed small to Ren. This would be a stepping stone to his eventual goal of avenging his fallen town.

With his mind set and absolute, he was able to unlock his RPS: Lotus Samaria, gaining a boost in speed and reflex from the Aeion ability: Storms Wrath. His weapons became more effective, giving him plasma based attack and grappling hooks with a plasma whip for the cable. He became a whirlwind of death, slicing through the tail, cutting off the cloaking device and eventually killing Corpius.

Pyrrha and Nore were having easter times. Nora had the luck of going up against Kraid, the version of him during Ruby's second trip to Zebes that they got to watch. Nore was simply being her happy-go-lucky self, blasting away at Kraid. It was when a swarm of insect-like aliens interrupted her that she started struggling and finally unlocked her RPS: Sunset Viking. Pink electrical energy crackled across Nora's armor as the unique Aeion ability, Thunder Field, activated, electrocuting the insect aliens and charging Nora's semblance, High Voltage.

Fully charged and now free from the insect aliens, Nora turned back to Kraid. She hit him with another grenade, causing him to roar in anger. This was when something shifted in her weapon, a new display on her HUD indicating that she now had a Super Missile loaded in the chamber. Nora had an evil smirk on her face as she fired the missile down Kraid's throat and then promptly caved his head in with a semblance enhanced strike with her hammer.

With Pyrrha, she was fighting the Berserk Lord that Ruby had faced against twice during the phazon events. It was by far the strongest thing that she had faced alone. The hulking beast was heavily armored and seemed to be infused with otherworldly energy. "This must be the phazon that Ruby talked about." inferred Pyrrha.

Pyrrha moved to and fro to avoid the various energy blasts sent her way. She figured out that she could shoot at the orb attacks and send them back at the alien, but she was still making slow progress. The armor was too thick and she could not get enough attacks in before the beast attacked back. She would not give up though. She may not like the attention it brought her, but she was the champion of Mistral. She would not back down from the challenge and forged ahead. She would not fall for she was the Invincible Girl. With this mindset she was able to unlock her RPS: Scarlet Olympian, instinctively activating a powerful but consuming Aeion ability: Achilles Might, truly becoming invincible long enough to break the armor and kill the Berserk Lord.

Jaune was having the hardest time out of everyone. Being the least trained out of everyone was a given, but he was the most equipped out of everyone for his fight. He was against Mecha Ridley, an unfinished mechanical variation of the real Ridley that the undying reptile tried to build during Ruby's first true attack on the Space Pirates. It was impervious to everything besides missiles, and Jaune found this out really quickly as his sword simply skittered off of the armor plating. This was difficult to begin with, but somehow, for some reason, there was also an injured 'Pyrrha' there that he was protecting.

Jaune was backed up against a wall with 'Pyrrha' behind him. He had his shield up to block the missiles and beams that the robot shot at him, but each hit still hurt. He could not keep this up. "If this is the kind of thing Ruby has faced and what we will face in the future… I should not have come to Beacon." the young knight thought in despair. He could not fight this thing, there was no way! He was going to die here and there was nothing he could do about it. His shield was hit by another three missiles and he stumbled back. His Aura was below 50%, he was not going to last much longer.

He then bumped into 'Pyrrha', reminding him that he was not the only one who would die. "No, I can't give up. Pyrrha would be defenseless, I can't leave her to die!" He would not stand down. If what it took to keep her safe was to stand there and keep blocking those attacks, then he would, no matter what. He would be the one thing in the way of anyone hurting his friends.

As with the others, once he was in the mindset to keep pushing forward, to never give in, his RPS was unlocked.

Remnant Power Suit: White Knight Online

Suit Upgrade Acquired: Fortitude Stabilizers

Weapon Upgrade Acquired: Plasma Edge

Weapon Upgrade Acquired: Crusader's Protection

The moment the suit fully formed, the Aeion ability, along with Crusader's Protection, kicked in, helping Jaune withstand another hit. His shield emitted a hardlight barrier, expanding the area protected and making the shield a tower shield. Jaune stood there in shock for a moment, before he took the opportunity he was given. Deactivating the tower shield and stabilizers, Jaune charged forward, his sword's edge now glowing green with plasma. He thrust his sword through the glass covering the core and impaled the core itself. He then gave great heave and tore the core from Mecha Ridley's chest, finally defeating it.

Jaune stood there for a moment, catching his breath, then turned to where Pyrrha was. "Are you okay Pyrrha?" he asked. He did not get much of an answer though as Pyrrha just smiled and nodded before disappearing in the flash of light that enveloped Jaune.

Ruby woke up with a start. "Another nightmare," she thought. She would frequently get these ever since Zebes was overrun by the Space Pirates. She would relive snippets of many foes that she had faced in the past, each time they seemed stronger than when she had faced them in real life. This time it was Raven Beak. He had managed to win against Ruby, taking her DNA and made an army of clone Rubys.

Ruby sat there for a long moment, thinking about the dream when she heard a beep from the chamber console for the suit pods. She walked over and saw that the suit bonding was complete. Ruby smiled, She knew that her friends would be able to pass whatever tests were thrown at them. She imputed the finish command and waited for her friends in her own power suit.

The first pod to open was Yang. She stepped out of the pod, her new suit brown and flaming yellow. Next was Blake whose suit was Black and white with deep violet highlights. Next was Weiss, her suit predictably being white, but the highlights seemed to be fading from being red to a soft blue. Next stepped out Ren, his suit Mostly green and black with pink highlights. Nora practically exploded out of the pod in her pink and white suit. Pyrrha came out in her scarlet and gold suit. Finally, Jaune stepped out, his white and gold suit almost seeming like that of a knight of old.

The group stood there in silence for a moment as they processed what they just went through or admired the other suits. Finally, Nora could not contain it anymore and all hell broke loose as they started talking over each other about their tests. Yang and Blake were talking to Ruby about how epic Ghor was and the shenanigans of Gandrayda. Nora was pestering Ren as usual. Pyrrha was checking in on Jaune and he, her. It was Weiss that stayed quiet as she thought about what Rundas had said, avoiding looking at Ruby, thankful that the helmet covered her now crimson face. She may be embarrassed, but she was also very worried for her, though she would never admit it, best friend.

Ruby looked around at her friends. She knew that it would take time for them to master the suits, but they would do just fine for the mission they were about to go on. Overall, she was happy, but she could not shake an unpleasant feeling of 'Dread' that had nothing to do with the mission.

Summer hunted the outskirts of the Grimmlands relentlessly, searching and killing any Grimm she could find. She was now at 54% restoration and had regained a number of upgrades and powers. This included the Super Missile, Wide Beam, Wave Beam, Morph Ball and bombs, and Speed Booster. She had taken down many Alpha Grimm and she was almost certain that Salem knew that something was going on. Summer decided to take shelter in a cave for a while and lay low. She did not need to eat as it seemed the phazon sated her. She still missed the taste of food, especially cookies, but she would manage for now.

Summer decided to explore the cave she was in and found that it was rather large. It was in one of the larger parts of the cave that she encountered something from Dark Rose's memories. Standing in the center of the room was a statue of a bird man, crouched and holding its hands as if to cup something. A Chozo temple statue.

Summer looked around, not seeing anything else in the room. "Well, one way to find out what this does." With that, she climbed onto the statue's hands and shifted into the Morph Ball. The statue closed its hands around Summer and began to descend into the ground.
