Chapter 3:A fiery Spirit Unleashed
Weiss and Onxyia decided it would be time for them to return to the cafeteria after their recent visit to Doctor Oobleck class after finding out about the strange gauntlet they found.
"This is getting interesting….I never knew those two family had such a rich history. To guess they are related to a great warrior from the past."Onxyia said
"Yes…but I always thought they were weapon smiths and huntsman though"Weiss said
"Well her dad was adopted and brought into the family. Maybe their dad didn't know about it"Onxyai added
As they continued to walk the glove let a small wisp like flame out of the gem. It looked to be an eye looking around it surrounding. As it did it looked at the two holding it. It thought to itself"hmmm after sleeping for god knows how long….i'm back but what time is it? Where is that idiot Frederick ughh."
Weiss thought she felt something hit her leg looking down. But nothing was their and then she looked at the gauntlet. As she turned it around she began to look at the gem in the palm of the hand.
"Something wrong?"onxyia asked
Weiss scratched her head"No…I thought I felt something hit my leg."Weiss said continuing to walk to the cafeteria.
Soon enough the two entered the cafeteria to join their friends. Zane and the others were still chatting about the return of their teammates. Luckily enough Yang spotted two people walking over to theme.
"There they are."Yang said waving to the two.
"Hey Weiss and Onxyia!"She yelled which made Onxyia flinched a little. They both made their way to where yang called them over.
"Yang please be a little quieter next time….you do know I have sensitive hearing"Onxyia said annoyed
"Oh my bad so what did you guys find out about the glove?"yang asked
"Hmmm well apparently it some sort of glove made from long ago. Oobleck says it was wield by well uh… your family Eria"Weiss said
Eria looked at her with a confused look at what she just mentioned. Then she looked at the glove that they had. She didn't recall her parents or grandparents mentioning something like that.
"Really so what exactly does it do?"Jaune questioned
Weiss and Onxyia looked at each thinking how they should answer it. Should they tell them a women from two hundreds of years ago is in a glove. Whos soul was transferred into it and if you stay attached to it for too long you'll be bonded to it.
"Well you see umm…apprently it can create a large amount of flame out of its palm"Onxyia said with her tail wagging nervously.
"Really that's it….not power boost or summoning a giant fire golem….just some dusty glove."Zane asked
"Yep just a glove…a plain old glove"Weiss said
"Hmmm I don't ever recall my parents mentioning something like that. Maybe next time they call i'll ask them more about it."Eira said
As they were continuing to eat Nora was sneaking over to look at the gauntlet. She also wanted to try it on to see if she could add something to her arsenal. Soon enough Nora picked up the gauntlet happily looking at it before they could react.
"Ohhhh this looks pretty….i'm trying it on!"nora said sliping the gauntlet on.
"Nora no!"Weiss yelled but it was too late.
As Nora put the guanlent on it glowed with an orange and red light emitting from the gem. Then from the gem a small burst of fire appeared. Everyone in the cafeteria noticed the large flame that just appeared.
"Nora what did you do!?"jaune hollered
"I don't know!"nora yelled laughing in excitement and wonder
The flame soon settled down but srupsingly it didn't burn anything down. Then from the glove gem something then walked out of it it seemed. Their standing in front of them was what appeared to be a women made of flames. Her facial feature were strange because she only had eyes that were pure white. Her hair was standing straight up like a flame. The body of this flame seems to be an hourglass figure. The fire creature yawned stretching her back.
The fire being grunted before yawning"man….can't remember the last time I stretched my leg. Been cramped in that damn glove for years…"The being stop looking at the people around it.
As it looked at everyone it looked confused"why….am I in a room with a bunch of kids?"the being asked
"What in the hell is going on?"Yang asked stunned
"Uhhh yeah same here….why is the fire talking?"Zane asked looking at it.
"Hey I'm not just some common fire, names Ember…..so call me that alright kid"Ember said
Nora looked stunned by the sight of this thinking she found the best thing every to use. While Ren was worried Nora was about to brun the cafeteria down.
Eria just looked at her confused and Ember turned her attention to the girl. "Hmmm you their child…..you seem familiar. Are you perhaps….a Hayley?"Ember asked
Eria just stood their shocked at what was happening. "umm….uh…..yes?"Eria asked confused
Then Ember seemed happy by this thought clapping her hands together it seemed"Oh delightful finally your family has found me again…..how long have I been asleep?"Ember asked
Eria couldn't answer her question at all until Onxyia spoke up to answer her question."umm its been two hundred years ma'am your at Beacon academy. School of huntsman and huntresses and the headmaster is Professor Ozpin."Onxyia said
This caused the fire spirit to be intrigued but she didn't let it be know"hmmm interesting well then….you their girl. Please hand me over to that Hayley girl over their immdeitatly."Ember demanded
Nora looked at the fire spirit sticking her tongue out at it. Which annoyed ember at what Nora just did."Are you disobeying me Ember the fire spirit that help with the efforts of slaying hundreds no…..thousands of grimm!"Ember said moving her arms to her hips or what you would call arms since they are made of fire.
"Children what in the name of remnant is going on down here. I just saw a burst of flames you better not be destroying the cafeteria again."Glynda said walking over with her crop.
As she did Ozpin was walking close behind her, he was looking where they were heading. Then he smiled, chuckling to himself exactly knowing who it was. Glynda got close then looked at the being made of fire.
"What on remnant is this?"Glynda asked, pointing her crop at Nora.
"Ummm does the excuse for weiss and onxyia finding an ancient glove in a cave. That secretly houses a lady made of fire work?"zane asked
"No…no it doesn't"Glynda responded
"Then no we do not know what is going on."Zane added
"Lady, why don't you leave? I'm conducting some private business here. Go back to whatever you were doing with that toy of yours."Ember said waving her non existent hands.
Glynda seemed to be annoyed by that response. She was ready to say something but Ozpin stopped her."That will be all Miss Goodwin, I can deal with this."Ozpin said with Glynda looking at him.
"Of course you know who it is…"Glynda said walking off
Ozpin turned his attention to the group."It seems you've found an artifact students. Interesting now if you don't mind i'll need to take it. So we can ask its passenger what it knows, it could be useful on fighting grimm with its experience."Ozpin said
Ember looked at Ozpin curiously rubbing her chin it seems. Then she slowly nods yes to him before returning to the gem in the glove. Everyone was shocked at what just happened. A literally spirit of some women from years ago just appeared. Who is also related to the Hayley family.
Nora took the glove off and Ozpin came over picking it up.
"Professor Ozpin what just happened and how do you know ummm her?"pyrrha questioned
"Oh it's not that important. I heard about the story years ago. I heard it was lost here in Vale but I assumed it was just a fairytale. But fairy tail's can sometimes be real if you search hard enough."Ozpin replied
The bell rang for lunch which meant it was over. Ozpin then motioned the student to leave for their next class. The group slowly got up walking away from Ozpin wondering what is going on.
"Ok i'm going to say it anyone else freaked out on what just happened?"Jaune asked
"Yes I don't event think words can describe what we just saw."Blake said
"Yeah despite the fact we kill monsters for school that by far is the weirdest thing i've seen."Yang said shocked
As they all continued to head to their next class stunned from what happened. Onxyia had the necklace she picked up early in her hands. She looked at then relized where she seen it before."Wait a minute….zane has one similar to that didn't he mention a dream with some necklace like this?"Onxyia thought
Zane was slowling down a little because he was busy lacing up his shoes. Onxyia then got close to him tapping his shoulder.
"Zane I have a question for you."Onxyia asked
Zane looked at her for a second"Ok whats up?"Zane asked
"I want you to take a look at something I found early."Onxyia said showing him the necklace.
Nora was close getting a good look at it about to grab it with her eyes spralking."pretty….probably go for alot of lien."Nora said but Ren stopped her.
"I don't think that would be a good idea. That probably belongs to someone."Ren aded
"I would have to agree with Ren. Someone could be looking for it. Also you just touched a glove with a fire spirit in it so lets not go through that again."Pyrrha stated
Eria agreed nodding"Yeah no one would leave something like that laying around. Also when Rogue and Ruby hear about what happened it'll be a show."Eria said
Zane grabbed the necklace with a heart at the end of it but as he did he felt something sharp pierce his head.
"Ngh!"Zane grunted as he put his hand on his head.
"Hey you alright?"Jaune said with concern
Then another memory of Zanes played out that seemed to return even more.
Flashback
It was the boxing gym again and the kids from before were in the empty gym now. It seemed to be closing hours. The older girl from before was reading a book upside down. While the kids were messing around.
"So if you guys go could anywhere right now where would it be."the swan shirt girl asked
The lynx eared boy excitedly answered"Oh oh…I would go to menagerie. I've always wanted to meet other faunus who are lynx. I've never been there and I want to see what its like."he said excitedly
The swan shirt girl laughed saying"Nice but I rather visit Atlas the floating city."she replied
"Why their…atlas is full of pompous jerks."The lynxed ear boy said
The girl thought for a moment before replying"well…the places it rumoured to be beautiful. The sight of the city in the sky is something to behold. I really want to go their someday."she finished
"What about you Zoey where do you want to visit the most."The swan shirt girl asked
"Hmmmm don't know yet maybe…..Beacon academy here. Heard its an interesting place but rather not put mom having to pay for it. Plus i've asked her about it shes said no."Zoey said
"Boring, mines alot cooler."The lynx eared boy said. But then he got a ball thrown at him from the girl with the swan shirt. The two then tackled each other again getting in a scrap.
As they did Zoey put her book down looking at them not wanting to deal with it."What about your baby sister. Where does she wanna go?"Zoey asked
The two were busy pulling at each other hair until the swan shirt girl stopp looking at her baby sister in the did something with her hands to her. Then the girl did it back to her then the Swan girl nodded.
"She wants to visit the Mistral and check out the town of argus. I think I remember why it has to do with the house or something I think or whatever"The swan shirt girl said before pulling on the lynx ear boys ear.
Then Zoey turned her gaze at Zane waiting for him to just looked at her but couldnt answer at all."I don't know really…..I don't wanna be too far from you guys."Zane said
Zoey laughed getting up from her chair stretching. As she walked over to him she separated the two kids fighting. They tried to get a word in but Zoey gave them a glare that told them to knock it off.
Then she turned her attention to Zane getting the necklace from her neck."Don't worry we'll always find each other no matter what little brother."Zoey said which made Zane smile hugging her. She returned the hug back and they continued their little game of where they go in the world.
Flashback end
Zane shook his head from the sudden memory flashed he just had experienced then he simply pulled out the one around his beck starring at this.
"I….remember this."Zane replied
"Huh what are you talking about this little necklace."Yang added
"Because….one of the people that had it said if we were every lost each other…..look for the person with the matching necklace."Zane added exmianing his necklace then the other one.
"Wait you talked about this a while ago if I recall. Hmmm maybe.."Blake said before stopping.
"Maybe what?"Ren asked
"If we find the owner of the necklace maybe they could help you with your memories."Blake finished.
"Thats awesome maybe they'll tell you about your past."Jaune added
"Yeah…your right, hold onto this for me Onxyia for now please."Zane said giving her back the necklace of the heart.
"I will don't worry,"Onxyia replied, pocketing it.
"Right now we should get to combat training since it's our last class here. Then later we can think about where this owner is."Zane added
"Welp lets get going or Glynda will yell at us."Yang stated as they headed to their next class.
Meanwhile at another table Neo was disappointed and seemed on the verge of tears since she couldnt find her necklace.
"Hey i'm sure we'll find it alright. Maybe that Ruby girl you mentioned might have picked it up or something."emerlad said reassuring the girl.
Neo looked at her nodding but then put her head back down.
Cinder had her hand on her chin thinking to herself.
Mercury caught on to her"your thinking about something aren't you or someone else?"he teased
Cinder laughed a little"Nothing gets past you two i'm actually worried about that Ruby girl.
"What why, she seems like a pretty normal girl."Mercury added
"No she has sliver eyes, which means she ones of those sliver eyed warrior. I'm just worried her disciplines will find her and if their here."Cinder added
"Hey if their here we'll just have to be on the lookout for them."emerlad said
"We better get moving. We may be in hiding but we've got classes to keep up with as well."cinder replied as Neo didn't wanna move.
"Oh come on, ice cream girl don't be like that. Your dad was the one who wanted you to get a proper education. "Mercury said as Neo got up with the three exiting the cafeteria.
Classes continued the normal course until they finally got toward combat training as Eria and Pyrrha were squaring off in combat
Eria used her ice to try and slow Pyrrha down while avoiding her strike. But Pyrrha kept on pushing forward with showing no sign of slowing down. So far Pyrrha was winning in aura while Eria had less than half of hers left.
Using her lever action shotgun she shot some dust bullet. They were blocked by the shield freezing it slightly. Pyrrha then rushed forward using the ice as relzied her mistake trying to avoid her. But Pyrrha ram her into a wall. Once she hit the wall her aura finally gave out.
"Eria aura has entered the red zone. Miss Nikos you are the winner."Glynda declared as Eria pickherself up from the ground.
"Ow Okay. I'm going to feel that tomorrow morning."Eria added with Pyrrha helping her too her seat.
"Very well. Let us continue on then."Glynda replied as she called out two more names.
"Ruby Rose and Mercury Black. Please step foward."Glynda added as the two stepped forward onto the stage.
Ruby and Mercury took front and center of the stage as Ruby brought out her scythe while Mercury had nothing.
"Ummm were are your weapons?"Glynda asked moving her glasses
Mercury smiled before kicking his leg in the air firing off a shot. Glynda then nodded her head and then Ruby and him stared at each other.
"Huh nothing looks new to her weapon wondered what she did to it?"Jaune asked
Rogue seemed giddy and was smiling in anticipation. Eria looked at her sister knowing shes excited on what the two did.
"Man I can't wait to see it in action"Rogue stated
"Really what did you two do to it"Yang asked
Rogue zipped her mouth shut telling her it was a secret. Where yang rolled her eyes smiling.
Glynda then looked at the two"Are you questioned
The two simply nodded"Then you may begin."Glynda declared
Almost immediately Mercury leap at ruby going for a kick but Ruby turned into some petals flying into the air. Then she reassembled back with her scythe going for a downward slash. Mercury smield at this ready to deflect it. Then as Ruby got close he deflected it with his leg. Which confused everyone.
Then he swiped his leg at her hitting her weapon. But she blocked it using it as a shield. Seeing as this wasn't working Mercury then flipped backward far enough to gain some distance. As he sat their walking in a circle staring down the girl waiting for her next he smiled jumping in the air then a blast could be heard. He was launched into the air toward ruby going over her. Ruby looked at him above in the air surprised. Then he got behind kicking her in the back taking some of her aura and sending her a few feet back.
Ruby seeing this decided to reveal a small compartment on her scythe where she normally reloads it. Then she loads in a red dust capsule into it loading it in. Then she presses another button making the blade of the scythe extened slightly. Then an energy like beam appeared in the middle between the blades.
Ruby similed before swinging her scythe at Mercury, with each swing fire could be seen coming from the blade. Mercury kept dodging her attack trying to avoid the flames. But he got hit with some of his aura going down.
"Whoa neat feature so she can add dust effect to her scythe now."Onxyia added
"I don't think thats all it can do judging from rogue being all excited over here."Yang added
Mercury seemed a little impressed by the weapon. But he kept his mind on analysing the situation and dealing with Ruby.
Mercury kicked the air firing a shot at Ruby from his leg. Then Ruby twirled her scythe creating a circular flame circle. She blocked each attack rushing at him. As Mercury was prepared to kick her she ducked underneath his leg then swinging her scythe into his side. This caused his aura to go into the yellow.
Mercury then decided to go on the offensive by going all out on her. He delivered a swift flurry of kick and with each kick a shotgun blast could be heard.
However what was strange was everyone was wondering where his semblance was. "So doe he not have a semblance or something. I haven't seen him use it at all."Blake asked
"He does have one it's just he doesnt like using it sometime."Emerald said next to her
"Wait why doesnt he like to use it?"Jaune asked
Emerald laughed at the mention of that"yeah but he decides to only use it at certain time…but he is a skilled fighter. I can't tell you why he doenst have it. He'll have to tell you that."emerald said
Ruby continued to slash at him but he kept dodging her attacks repeatedly. Then ruby clicked another button which made a whirring sound come from her blade. Soon enough the blade glowed red then Ruby swung her blade sideways. The blade then released several lines of fire at mercury.
His aura did get hit getting making his aura go down a little. He landed on his two feet without flinching then he smiled at the girl. Mercury rushed at her kicking at her hitting her once. But as he kept attacking with each leg kick. Ruby switched her scythe into a sniper rifle. It had a large scope on it along with a pumpaction trigger.
When Mercury was about to slash at her again she turned into some petals appearing behind him. Taking an advantage of the surprise attack Ruby fired her weapon into his back causing him to hit the wall. The impact was enough to break his aura color which was white breaking.
"Mercury aura has entered the red. The winner is Ruby Rose."Glynda declared as Ruby compacted her weapon.
"Hey great match."Ruby replied helping mercury up.
"Yeah you too red."he replied as the class bell rang.
"Thats all that we have for today. Remember train hard and stay sharp."Glynda relied as the class began filing out with everyone surrpsied what Ruby did to her scythe.
"Thats quite an upgrade you made Ruby."Yang added
"Yeah what made you think of adding an ignitor to your scythe." Pyrrha asked
"I thought it would be something interesting to add my baby crescent rose. It wasn't that hard just rearranging a few things to make enough space for it to use the dust shell in the clip. Then redirect the energy to the blade."Ruby added
"I think you can adjust to it, it may prove useful when dealing with large amounts of grimm."Weiss added
"Thanks me and rogue spent some time on this project."Ruby said
"Oh yeah we have to tell you something when we get to dinner. You guys won't believe what that gauntlet Onxyia and Weiss found is."Yang added
Zane hung back a little, rubbing his neck where the scar is. He wasn't focused but his teammates were talking with each other.
"Rogue I heard you were busy in the forge as well. What did you do to your weapon"Eria asked
"Nope I'm not telling you its a secret, so how was lunch anything interesting happening."Rogue asked
Onxyia laughed"we found out what that guanlent was. We'll tell you when we get dinner you'll be excited to hear what it was."Onxyia said
Zane kept being silent and then felt a presence watching him. As he turned he didn't see anyone looking back. Then he shook his head turning his head back around continuing to walk. Across the hall Neo watched him trying to piece things together slowly. Then she rubb her neck before going to the cafeteria to join her teammates.
When they got to the cafeteria Nora had a plate full of food and began to chow down on it.
As she was everyone explained to Rogue what happened during lunch.
"Wait your saying that glove was some mythical weapon carried by our great grandfather. The glove also housed the spirit of a women whos soul is still in the glove. But shes been apart of our family for generations and was lost when he died. "Rogue said eating her food.
"Yep thats the gist of it, oh and her name is Ember"Zane said drinking from a cup.
"Dang it I wish I was here maybe Ozpin would let us keep her."Rouge pondered
"Doubt it the guy seemed admented about keeping her away from you I think."Blake added
"Well if you keep the glove on for more than day the spirit will become bonded to you. Then it will detach from you only once you die."Weiss said
Yang laughed saying"Hey if he does let you keep it you guys got a fifth team member. You'll have to change your name then."Yang stated
"Their can't be any more E or our team name will just be ZEERO"Onxyia said
"that 'll make it sound like it was misspelled or were illiterate ."Eria continued
They all continued to chat amongst each other. But back with Neo team she was still a little sad about losing her necklace.
"Dang she seems pretty bummed out about that necklace. Should we look for it first thing in the morning?"Emerald asked
"We might as well, her father did help us get into beacon. It also seems like it has alot of sentimental value to her. I can relate''Cinder said
Mercury was rubbing his leg trying to fix his pant leg. As he did it pulled up a little revealing a metal prosthetic leg in place of his leg. Then he put his pant leg back down covering them. "Dang that Ruby girl can throw a mean punch despite being so small."Mercury said
Emerald laughed"Yeah she whoop your ass, kinda funny seeing you get thrown around like that."Emerld said to an annoyed mercury.
Back with the others they were finishhing up with their meal.
"Honestly today was full of surprise. I just can't wait to get some sleep so we don't have to deal with it anymore."Eria replied
"I have to day at school isn't normally the easiest."Onxyia added as she finished her dinner.
"Guess we should turn in for the night then."Zane said as the group left for their dorm not before they said good night as they headed toward their dorms.
Once they were back in their dorm it seems that nothing has changed with the beds still in place with nothing that had moved from their previous spots.
"Welp i'm heading to bed i'm beat"Zane said as everyone got ready for bed.
After about ten minutes everybody was dressed into their night clothes. Zane now doesn't wear his bandana to bed.
However something still filled Zane's mind as he tried to recall the events earlier that day, the memory that resurfaced, and the necklace.
"Just who are those people? Were they people that cared about me? God I hope my memory comes back and then I can finally know who they are."Zane thought as he drifted to sleep.
And here we go another chapter is done! You may find it weird how theirs someone soul trapped in a metal glove. The universe does have magic, this would seem possible thought it be interesting. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
