Today is the day that the next part of the exams happen and I wonder what will be in the next step in their journey. And lets hope they pass today exams and continue their education.RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. I own the OC's, AU. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 10:Were stronger Together
It was early in the morning and Ozpin was preparing for the day ahead as Glynda handed him the exams that happened so far.
"Studnets seem to have been improving so far. Our first years included. We might actually have a record turnout of first years passing their exams this year more than before"Glynda replied
"That is good news to hear. Also , Miss Nadia and Miss Vix doing?" are they adjusting well to the position given to them"Ozpin replied
"Although they all are part time. Their skills are valuable is an excellent weapon smith hes taught the students to maintain their weapons better than before it seems. Ms Vix being a captain of the menagerie royal guard is excellent as well. With her experience running security and patrols it does benefit the studnet"Glynda said
"Then theirs i'm glad to take a break but her methods are interesting. She taught them how to adapt in certain combat scenarios. Along with multiple people fighting at once and opponents who are epxeirnce or inexperienced fighters"glynda finished
"Yes. I guess it was a great idea to bring them all in. Plus they all must be glad to spend time with their kids especially Ms Walker. Shame she and her daughter will be heading back to menagerie after the exams are over"Ozpin added
However Glynda had a feeling that Ozpin had something else on his mind with a look of concern.
"You seemed troubled sir. Is something bothering you?"glynda questioned.
Izpin hummed a little before he spoke"Yes actually this is something that is bothering me. It what Qrow told me about Zane and the appearance of grimm knights. Along with possible spies in our school from what I heard. I wonder if we should keep an eye out for anyone susccious.
"Ozpin begun as he walked over to a coffee pot.
Then he grabbed a cup pouring it into a cup then drank it"it also seems shes stepping up her game now. She even made more of those knights of hers"Ozpin replied finishing.
"You believe that the tournament is in danger sir"Glynda said.
"I'm not certain of it yet since nothing has come to mind. However I would like to keep a closer eye on our students. I want you to keep an eye on them and report to me if their is anything out of the ordinary."Ozpin said
"Of course"glynda said as she left the office leaving ozpin to his thoughts.
Meanwhile Weiss and Eria were getting breakfast together until a certain blue haired boy stopped coming up behind them.
"Morning ice queens"Neptune greeted
They turned to head to meet hiz gaze"Oh morning Neptune….getting breakfast we well"Eria said coldly.
"Yeah the hotel food doesnt cut it sometime. The food here is actually filling"he replied
Weiss however was not convivnced about him only behind here for that"hmmm you sure that you just came here for breakfast or is it something else that you want to talk about"Weiss said riaisng an eyebrow.
Neptune smiled putting his hands in the air as he was caught"you got me. I came to tell you Perun and Tanner are here. Along with helping a certain girl catch ones eye"Neptune said motioing toward Eria.
This caught the girl off guard as she tried to play it off"what no I don't have a crush on Perun at all don't be preposterous."eria replied
Weiss chuckled"umm he didn't mentioned him he also said Tanner. No one said anything all you having a crush on him."wiess added.
Eria face became bright red as she hung her head down in shame."please let me just melt"Eria said
Then it seemed Weiss and Neptune had a plan while looking at each other"Hey I got an idea I can invite Perun and Tanner for a bite to eat. You and Weiss can come with maybe catch up. Then afterwards we can discuss you asking him out"Neptune suggested
"Umm right now when Exams are still happening?"Eria asked softly.
Weiss hummed a little"hmm she right let do it after were done with exams. It'll be my treat even"Weiss replied smiling.
Eria blinked a couple times like she was trying to comprehend what they suggested. Then she sighed finally coming up with her answer.
"Alright fine i'll give it some thought before letting you know tomorrow"Eria replied walking off with her face still red.
Weiss and Neptuned smiled at each other, they both seemed to be thinking the extract same thing. Yesterday Weiss saw Neptune and the topic about Eria crushing on Perun came up. She told him about how Perun reacted when they met his team at the fair grounds. So the two seemed to have come up with a scheme to help princess Ice Queen ask out thunder two then walked over to get breakfast then sit at their tables.
After breakfast was settled all the teams split up and headed toward their appropriate class for their exams. Onxyia, Eria, Weiss,Yang were in first aid and plant science with Miss Peach as she handed out paper for everyone to fill out.
"On this paper their are a series of questions regarding plant life and how they can hel certain wounds and help cure certains wounds. However for this exam I want you to write down two recipes for all the potions we've covered throughout your time here at Beacon. Along with that explain one way to properly treat one of the three injuries listed on the paper. Make sure be write the recipes in detail and explain the proper procedure to treat those wounds. For this you'll be given two hours to complete."Miss peach replied
"You may begin"she ordered as the students flipped over their papers and began writing.
Weiss first began writing down the ingredients require to make one of the potions that weiss created as she explained it in details. At least trying to as she tried to recall some of the ingredients that were used.
Eria was already through her first potion it seems. She seemed very adapt in treating wounds and potions. Soon she started on how to properly treat certain injuries since she sturggled with the second potion. It asked her to explain on treating a broken leg.
The first step would to create a splitn to immbolzie the broken appendage. Then use a makeshift stretchy if ones not available to transport the person safely without causing further injurites. For the splint use two sticks, a bandage, and something padded to protect the broken limb
However Yang seemed to be struggling with remembering her ingredients that she could recall. She was able to write down some of them as she wrote them down on her paper but now came the challegnging part of writing down the actually recipe. Yang glanced over at Onxyia and was surprised at herprogreess. The girl was already done with her first potion and close to be done with the second.
Weiss finished with her first potion then just started on her second potion being to write the ingredient for it but looked at the clock with only and hour and thirty minutes left.
"Don't look at the time focus"Weiss said to herself in her head as she regained her focuses.
Eria was finishing up her second potion soon but struggled with it for a while. As she sat their thinking soon enough it came to her remembering what it was thanks to the stuff she used to treat Miyukis wounds back then.
An hour and thirty minutes later Miss Peach finally spoke up"alright times up, pencils down and make sure to turn in your paperwork before you leave. Miss peach said as the studnet turned in their paperwork to be graded as they left for their next exams.
Once they were out of class Yang could only groan glad that it was finally over"Man I don't about you girls but I think I panicked halfway through"Yang admitted
"That was a tough exam having to remembering every little detail. What about you two? What did you think?"Weiss qeustioned.
"Well i did struggled with the potions but the one with injuries wasn;t that hard. "Eria commented.
Onxyia shrugged her shoulder as her tail swayed"its okay I guess. I didn't struggle with it my dad taught me alot about making potion. He would take me and Xander on hunting trips sometimes"Onxyai replied
"Your kidding right. I mean you went through those potion question quick in the first half hour. Seriously its like you could read minds."Yang replied as they continued to walk down the halls. As they did Rosemary and Scar were close by talking with each other it seems.
"So are you really going to try and be that lab experiment friend?"Rosemary asked
Scar nodded with his hands behind his back"yes, with what Bonnie told me he could be useful to us. If their team manages to make it too the final round. I can persuad him to do our dirty work for us"Scar smiled at this agreeing with what he was talking about. The two continued to make their way down the hall.
Hours seem to have past and it was now in the late afternoon with some sun still left in the sky. Meanwhile in Team RWBYS room Ruby was trying to figure out how they were going to do this. They didn't think about how they were going to set it up. Along with a picture of their uncle for the ceremony.
Apparently Mercury and Cinder had some people they wanted to remember. Along with Cardin surprisingly for this father and their was her with her mother. Although she may still be out their but she had doubts.
Ruby groaned at this trying to figure something out.
"You okay their Ruby? Something on your mind?"yang asked
"Well….i'm trying to figure out on getting a picture of Rogue Uncle. Eria and her dad have been helping me out. But i'm wondering how were going to set it up. Should we use candles or no."Ruby said
Blake seemed to nod at that"yeah we could do that. Maybe dim lights at one point and have a moment of silence for them"Blake added as a small bark grom Zwei got her attention making her jump and get onto Ruby bunk hiding their looking down at the cute little dog like it was a beowulf.
"C'mon Blake he nots going to bite"Weiss replied petting the little corgi
"Sorry but I got bit by one when I was little and ever since hen i've had a fear of dogs"Blake said sheepishly.
"Can we please get back on the topic at hand"Ruby said but then her scroll buzzed as Eria ID came on the screen.
"So you come up with anything for the theme?"the text said
"Oh its Eria"ruby said as she texted back.
"Blake suggested we dim the lights for a bit to honor those we lose with some candles"Ruby texted
Then a moment later Eria texted back.
"That could work and right now i'm working on getting a picture of uncle Dravan. But their is renting out the cafeteria"Eria text back.
"Maybe we should do this tomorrow. After all we got one more exam and apparently its a big one from what I heard"weiss suggested
"Yeah good point we did get somewhere at least"Ruby said taking weiss suggestion as she texted back
"Well discuss more tomorrow after the exam sound sgood"ruby texted
Eria then immediately texted back
"Sound to you tomorrow"Eria texted back before her ID left the chat room as Ruby placed her scroll on the small dresser.
"Well we better get some sleep for tommoorrw. One more day and the exams will be finally over."ruby replied before looking at Blake in her bed.
"That means I need my bed Blake"ruy said as she carefully climbed up to her bed.
Blake gulped nerovusly seeing Zwei looking at her with curiosity. Mustering what little courage she had she swiftly went down toward her bed hopefully the dog not seeing her as a play toy. Surprignsly Zwei behaved himself and watched the faunus climb down to her bed before finding a place on the rug and went to sleep.
Blake finally let go of the breath she held as she didn;t have to deal with the canine as she cuddled into her bed and went to sleep. Eventually followed by Weiss who layed down in her bed exhausted. Yang then slipped into her bed and got comfortable going to sleep. Ruby was last using her own mask pulling it over her eyes as she turned the lights off as Team RWBY settled down and went to sleep.
Meanwhile in Team ZERO room they all went to sleep. Zane was all sprawled out on his bed as he moved a little every few minutes. Onxyia tail gently wagged with a look of content on her face as she rested her head on her pillow. Eria wasn't moving much on her bed but had a face mask on quietly breathing.
However one was having a difficult time sleeping as she curled inwards a little with her eyes shut tight with sweat coming down her face.
"No….not again…please"Rogue muttered as she was having a bad dream it seems no more like a nightmare.
Her dream started out with her and her teammates battling some grimm as they continued to push them back. After a while more grimm started to surround them slowly.
"Guys there are too many of them to regroup"Rogue said but they didn't respond to her immediately with each of them frozen it seems.
"Um guys you oaky?"she asked but like time they didn't respond. Then next thing she knew she ehard cackling of a madman. Then she as she looked around their someone with a scorpians tail moved around covered by smoke. As he laughed around in the smoke laughing like a mad he made his way to Onxyia who was busy shooting at grimm and lifted his weapon slicing at her. Then the girl fell down dead on the ground bleeding.
"No! Get away from her!"Rogue shotued trying to help her but stood still. She shook repeatedly seeming to be frozen in free.
The scorpian faunus walked over the faunus girl before slicing off her tail then tossing it to the side. He laughed manically before walking over to Zane.
He stood their silently as he tried to fight the man. As he did he sliced at him in the gut. Before taking his katana then stabbing him repeatly over and over again. Then Zane fell down bleeding out before the man stomped on his head killing him with blood flying in the air.
"No….please no"Rogue said softly wrapping her arms around herself.
Then Rogue dropped to her knees sadden by this that she didn't do anything to help her two teammates.
Then the man finally made his way to her sister who looked at Rogue smiling waving at her. Then the scorpian faunus got close to her before slicing off her right arm quickly. Then he picked it up smiling tossing it over to rogue. She looked at it with fear in her eyes and tears down her face.
Then the arm changed into her uncle Dravans and back to her sisters a couple times. Rogue looked up too see her uncle standing their dead staring back at her. Rogue had tears on her faces as she stared at all her friends and family die in front of her. Then the scoprian fanus rushed at her with his blades close to her face.
Rogues eyes shot open as she sat up quickly her breathing was fast and labored like she just ran a marathon holding the blanket close to herself. She looked around the room frantically at her teammates to make sure they were okay. All of them were their still okay.
After making sure they were still alive she breathed a sigh of relief knowing that it was just a dream. But this also concerned her that brought a certain thing to her attention. That something would happen to her to her teammates and friends one day. That one of them could get hurt or die even. She then seemed to have a spark before looking at a notebook close by.
She reached for it jotting down three ideas then put it back down laying her head back down.
"Alright just relax and get some sleep. They'll be fine….will they?"Rogue muttered to herself with some worry in her voice. She immediately shook that thought away.
"No don't think like that. They'll be alright their all strong. I've got an exam tomorrow"Rgoue muttered as she got comfortable in her bed and tried to get some sleep ignoring that nightmare. On the notebook she wrote some ideas it seems. Seeming to be upgrades to her teammates equipment maybe.
Morning finally came as the teams had gotten up were ready for whatever exams were going to throw at them. However the intercom chimed to life as Mrs. Goodwithc voice came through it
"Attention all first year the bell please report to the trining field for your final exam. Repeat all first year tems to the training field."mrs Goodwitch voice echoed before the intercom went dead.
Mutters had already begun after the intercom as teams began talking about what she said.
"Wonder what this exam will be. I mean the exam is in the training field. Probably the combat exam"Zane said
"Who knows it could be that or another initiation like last time. But this time more deathstalkers and nevermores."Eria added as she drank her tea.
"Hmmm it could be or some obstacle course maybe. What do you think Rogue?"Onxyia ask but Rogue didn't answer as she was drawing in a notebook it seems and repeatedly scribbled and erased stuff.
"Hey remnant to Rogue you there?"Zane said trying to get her attention but to no avail. Eria then froze her finger slightly then tap Rogue on the cheek. Rogue face light up as shivered from the sudden chill.
"Ughhh why did you do that?"rogue asked shvieirng.
"You didn''t respond to what we said or what Glynd said"Onxyia replied
"Oh what did she say? I was focused on something"Rgoue asked back.
"Yeah apparently all the teams are heading toward the training field for the final exam"Zane replied
"Thats interesting"Rogue said but she kept drawing in her notebook. The other three looked at each other then back at her. Eria then took her sister notebook getting her attention.
"Hey I was using that"Rogue said trying to get it back from Eria.
"Rogue were pretty much done with the written exam what are you working on?"Onxyia asked her tail swaying.
Eria examined the notebook noticining a few drawing on them and she seemed Eria chuckled a little before showing the other two.
"Seems Rogue got her next project in mind for us"Eria said presenting the note book. It showed each of their weapons with suggestion and upgrades in mind it seems. For Onxyia maybe add a retractable chain to her blades. That could be used as an underbarrel attachment for her rifle.
For Eria maybe make it so her bat could fire shotgun blast from one end of it or spray ice Zane maybe add something like she did with Ruby Crescent Rose and make it so he can launch energy archs back with his katana.
"Wow Rogue did you come up with this last night or something?"Zane asked
Rogue shyly shook her head"yeah…i'm just a little worried we maybe need upgrades for our equipment sometime. We may …..never know what we'll be dealing with in the future. Those upgrades could come in handy"Rogue replied
Onxyia admired some of the sketches with her ears twitchs"hmmm you know I actually never thought of doing that with my blades I mainly used it like a bayonet. That could prove useful"Onxyia added
Rogue smiled a little with Eria giving her sister her notebook patting her on the shoulder.
"Yes….it could prove beneficial to our team. But for now we better get going for this final exam today."Eria said as they got up from her seat and followed the students out of the cafeteria.
After leaving the cafeteria they followed the lines of students that headed toward the training grounds of the academy. Almost every first year team was their in the training field as they wondered why they were there.
"Is every first year here?"Onxyia replied as the teams muttered about.
However they noticed Nadia and Glynda was standing in front of the whole first years.
"Thank you all for coming. As you know this the last day of your exams but instead of giving your written one we've decided upon something more…physical"Glyunda replied
"This will be your final exam and today this'll just be like sparring class but with a twist to it. This will be a team versus team spar. "Nadia replied which caught their attention.
"I've only been here for a week and I leave soon. So one last twist before I leave you all. You all won't be graded based upon your aura but you will be based on these factors. Your teamwork, performance and how you adapt to your teammates strengths and weaknesses."Nadia replied
"Well call upon two teams to face each other for this exam. So that this doesnt drag on fro everyone you'll also be given ten minute time limit to show us your skills"Glynda replied
Time past as teams came and went as each team had did their best to perform even Jaunes team did quite well against Cardins team with still something to work on like Nora having to conserve ammo.
"Very well done Team JNPR however when your in battle make sure to keep track of your ammunition in the futrue."Nadia rpelied
"Both teams may step down now."Glynd asaid as both teams headed off the stage.
The next two teams are Team RWBY and Team ZERO. Both teams step forward and prepare yourselves"Naida ordered as both teams stepped onto the stage with their weapon ready.
Weiss unshetahed her blade and Weiss seemingly held it with one hand taunting them. Ruby undid her scythe twirling it in the air, resting it on her shoulder. Yang with a flick of her wrist her weapons extended ready for a fight. Blake unsheathed her katana and blade cleaver as she held it back handed style.
However they noticed the group formation. Weiss and Yang in front position while Blake and Ruby were behind them with Blake in front of Ruby.
"Huh, guess they set up in a different formation than I expected. That'll throw us off a little eh we'll be fine"he muttered as he tied his bandana on his neck again.
"Alright now that both teams are ready. Remember you all have ten minutes to show us your skills and teamwork"Nadia replied as a timer appeared above them showing the allotted time.
Onxyia loaded her staff with some dust vials before changing it to her rifle mode. Then pulled the bolt to load in a new round. Rogue had a couple of grenades it seems on her waist it seems. With Ember close by to her right hand. Eria froze over her bat slightly as the cold creeped up on it. Zane got out one of his revolver malice and one falcata sword mercy. Then he pulled out a vial syringe before jabbing his neck. As the liquid went in he cracked his neck before tossing it to the side then pulled up his bandana to show the fangs on it.
Zane glanced at his team before nodding gently and with that they formed up. Onxyia got behind them with Eria,Rogue and Zane taking position. Zane in the middle and Rogue on the left with Eria on the right.
"Now if both teams are ready you may begin"Nadia replied smiling as she started the timer as the ten went to nine fifty nine and started to count down.
Almost timmediatly what took them by surprise was that instead of Yang coming straight at them but she punched the air which also fired her weapon as Weiss joined in as well. While this happened Ruby and Blake jumped from behind and charged at them. Ruby sytche glowed red it seemed charging up.
"Alright burn cat ears up and cool down hot head"Zane called out and immediately Rogue charged as Blake as she intercepted the fuanus putting ember on shooting a stream of fire at the cat. Then Eria moved her hands upward causing an ice barrier to go up and blocked Yang bullets.
Yang smiled as she got close to the princess ice queen. But eria smiled before freezing the ground below her skating away from the girl. Yang gripped her fist before firing off blast at her. Eria dodged them gracefully while seeming to some ballerina moves.
Weiss noticed Yang in need of some help as she tried to hit eria but wasn't successful. She decided to help and try fight her off. But then from a shot from a sniper it seemed. Their onxyia cocked her bolt as she fired off more shots at the girl. Then she charged foward firing off a few shots. Then while changing her weapon and lfiting her left hand some shadows tried to grab Weiss. But she backed up trying to avoid them.
Which only left the only two leaders of each team as Ruby used her semblance to charge at Zane leaving petals behind her. Zane flipped his falacata sword backward, smirking it seems. Then he charged foward with his pistol down at the petals. Ruby came out of her petals using the recoil from her gun to launch herself foward at zane. But then he raised his rest before firing off some shots at the girl. A few missed but then he hoslted it before pulling out his second falcata sword as the two clashed.
Using her momentum Ruby pivoted a little before with the click of a button she launched an energy arch at Zane. This knocked him back as his aura was still in effect even though it didn't matter with their current situation. But then Zane sheathed his weapons before smacking his fist together.
Then he was in his titan form before cracking his knuckles ready to come at her. Ruby smiled because she knew she just had to avoid him so he wear himself down. Zane then rushed the girl and she prepared for him. But then he pivoted before switching to Eria dance partner.
Eria was busy sliding around firing off shot with her lever action shotgun at Yang. A couple shots hit the girl she seemed to get mad. Then Yang smacked her fist together before her hair erupted in a fire yellow. Then Yang flicked her wrist firing herself toward Eria she did Zane came in from the side tackling her to the ground.
While Eria skated over on her icy toward Ruby firing off several shots at the girl who managed to dodge a few. But some hit her a couple time, Ruby then changed to her sniper rifle mode. Then she cocked the hammer before firing where Eria will be. After a few shots one Eria making her trip. But she recovered immediately and started to run with her bat out now avoiding Ruby shots.
Back with Yang and Zane as Yang got up. Zane got in a boxing stance motioing for her to come get some. Yang smiled before getting in a similar one ready to brawl it out with each. The two then rushed at each other. Yang went through an uppercut connecting with Zane jaws but he realed back before connecting a punch to the side of her two duked it out for a while.
Rogue switched her axe to one being a small one sided axe and the other her submachine gun. She tried to attack Blake but it proved rather difficult for her as almost everytime Rogue managed to hit the faunus a she was replaced with a shadow as Blake was running around the battlefield. Rogue groaned before taking ember out firing a stream of fire at the cat.
"Come on hold still dang it!"Rogue shouted as she fire a stream of fire from Embers gaunlent. However this time blake was ready as she pulled the trigger of her weapon. This time when Rogue lifted her small axe to hit her it was replaced with an icy statue of her. Rogue axe connected with it causing it too get stuck. Rogue scoffed as Blake rushed at her since she was left wide open for an attack. Blake slashed at the girl but this resulted in her weapon getting free which cracked the ice.
Onxyia kept swinging her glaive at Weiss. Weiss used her glyphs as stepping stone to dodge her attack. But then Onxyia blade left a small trail of eletrciity it seems with each swing. Then Weiss used a glyph as she rushed forward at Onxyia. Onxyia stood her ground ready to defined her and Weiss connected before Onxyia then lifted her right hand blinding the ice queen. Then Onxyia lifted her leg kicking Weiss in the side sending her back away. But then Weiss summoned some ice glyphs after getting back up launching them at the wolf faunus. She took a few hits making her stagger.
Zane looked at his teams relziing they need to change things up and shouted to them.
"Break!"Zane called out. Saying that they should back off from their fights and change their they did Zane looked at the clock and seing that almost six minutes elapsed from the clock.
"You got a plan, grimm boy?"Eria questioned as they formed up.
Zane seemed to think of something as it played out through his head. Then he looked at Rogue, the new little toy she brought, smiling as he undid his titan form.
"We're halfway there gotta try this out I guess"Zane thought before he called out a new play.
"Eria,Rogue fastball! Onxyia fetch!"Zane ordered as Eria and Rogue backed up with Rogue producing a ball like device and Eria took her bat out. Before Onxyia rushed Zane transformed into his slasher form then she jammed a dust crystal into his neck. Zane cracked his neck as the lines on bodie glowed red hot.
Eria readied her bat for a swing while Rogue stood a decent amount away. But Weiss and Yang noticed they were up to something and began to rush forward. But then Onxyia lifted her right hand causing a blinding light with the two covering their eyes. Then Zane rushed in slashing his arm as flame came off the blade. As this happened someone watched that play out taking some notes.
Then Zane roundhouse kicked Weiss back to her teammates and she landed infront of ruby. Ruby looked at Zane who waved his finger at her trying to get her attention. It got Yang as she growled before launching herself forward at him and collided with him. But he held his ground as he took the blondes hit.
Then Blake joined her to help take him out as Weiss dealt with Onxyia. Weiss fired her gunbalde at the faunus and grazed her. But the wolf moved around while swinging her glaive at the girl. Back with Eria and Rogue, Rogue pressed a button on the device and it glowed yellow with some white on two circle. Then she tossed it to Eria who readied her bat hitting the ball in the air.
Eria then whsiteld to Onxyia and she smiled before rushing over to Zane. He was busy blocking the cat faunus and Blonde hit. Both charged at him from opposite sights before stepping backwards. The two stopped each other before they collided then Onxyia jumped ontop of them. Then she saw the ball like device in the air before hitting her glaive causing it to fall back toward the two. As it landed the device went off like a grenade.
Now a thick smokescreen was around and it crackle with electricity. Yang got out of the way in time but Blake didn't. She got a little close and when she touched it it eletricuted her and it threw her back into her teammates. Weiss caught her and helped the cat faunus back up.
Eria and Rogue rushing forward ready to fight with Zane yelling"Slingshot!". Rogue stopped kicking up some dust and then moved her hands. Then a small ramp emerged while Eria sktated over freezing it over then a small path to zane. He wasn't in his slasher form but now his glotiah form. Eria charged up her bat hititng him launching him forward.
As this happy Ruby called out a play"Riochet!"ruby called out. Weiss heard this and then moved back summoning several glyphs around the area. Then blake got up as she swapped her katana to its gun mode and fired at one of the glyphs but the ammo seemed to bounce off the glyphs. Yang then joined in as she fired several shots which also bounced off.
"Bunker down!"Zane yelled in the air before molting his armor off. Then he pulled his revolvers out before firing down at Ruby and Weiss. Ruby fired some shots at him as he did.
While Eria and Rogue created a small ice and rock barrir to hide behind. While a small hole stood there with Onxyia sticking out her rifle barrel and firing at Ruby. This whizzed past the young huntresses but she focused on zane as he got close.
As he got close he smiled before changing to his titan form then flipping his pistol while holding the barrels. Then the glyphs went down as Yang rushed forward by flicking her wrist launching herself at the twins. Then Blake rushed forward with her katana mode again. Eria undid her ice taking her leveraction outshot out ready to shoot Yang. While Rogue ready ember to fire a stream of fire.
Onxyia then aimed her rifle at Ruby aiming at the girl. Weiss was busy summon more glyphs and they fired ice toward the wolf as she fired off a few shots.
However before they could do anything a bell rang signaling the match was over.
"Alright stop!"Nadia called out as everything stopped as weiss glyph dissipated. Then Yang stopped trying to rush and eria and Eria hosltered her weapon. Rogue put ember down and Blake sheathed her katana. Zane landed on the ground hard making a crater before deactiavting his semblance and holstering his revolver. Ruby then folded up the crescent rose before putting it on her back. Then Zane felt something hot in his throat then rushed over spilling his guts out. He did just get spun around alot for their little trick,and the others cringed.
"An excellent effort for both teams. That'll be all for now. Your grades will be posted tomorrow. Please leave the staging area."Nadia added as both teams left the staging area.
Hours past as teams came and went and it as now dinner time it seems as the teams were now getting some dinner having to go through all those exams. Zane layed his head down exhausted because he spilled his breakfast during the exam.
"Ughhh despite puking my guts out how'd yall think we did?"Zane replied groaning
"In my opinion we did fine. Though they must have been confused with all those call outs for our attack patterns. How'd you even come up with them?"Eria added eating some of her dinner.
"Well…each one is based off of ideas I had for attack strategys. Also I made a few of them up on the fly. When I saw those weird softball looking things rogue had I guessed they were explosives"Zane added
Rogue nodded while eating her food working on her notebook girl drew in her notebook on how to add certain mechanisms to her teammates equipment to make her upgrades work.
"Their was also when I called break, sort of like a retreat and provide counter attacks or use a new strategy if something changes"Zane added
"Well our results will be posted tomorrow. I'm sure we did okay"Onxyia smiled taking a bite out out of some chicken. Rogue wasn't paying attention that much as she was focused on working on her little project. Soon she stood there tapping her head trying to figure out how long each one will take.
"Hello? Rogue you there?"Onxyia asked, waving her hands in front of her as this finally caught her attention.
"Huh you say something?"Rogue questioned.
"Tommorrows the weekend so we're thinking about going out to Vale and stretching our legs. Along with bidding Zanes' family goodbye when they leave. Are you coming?"Eria asked
Rogue thought for a moment before shaking her head"nah you guys go. I'm staying here and getting started on one of my projects right now. Zane could I borrow that katana of yours tomorrow?"Rogue asked
Zane shrugged his shoulders"Sure how long will you need it for?"Zane asked
Rogue hummed for a moment thinking as she tapped the table with her hands"at least a couple or few days. Since the upgrade i'm thinking of won't take long."Rogue relied
"Alright don't break it alright"Zane added
"I won't now if you excuse me i'm heading to bed early"Rogue said as she got up grabbing her notebook and headed back to their dorm which seemed to worry them a little.
"Hey….you two noticed how shes been distant lately. She seems nervous about something"Onxyia stated
"A little bit with these projects of her it seems like she preparing for the worst case scenario."Zane said
Eria gave a thoughtful look before shaking her head"I just hope this party where doing will cheer her up"Eria said messing with her food.
"Hey don't worry it will. Let finish up here and head back for a well deserve rest."Zane suggested as they continued to eat their dinner.
Meanwhile in Ozpins office he was prepared to leave for the night so that way he could prepare for the morning ahead but before he could leave the elevator door pinged revealing Pyrrha as she stepped forward into the office.
"Miss Nikos can I help you?" It is very late as you can see"Ozpin replied at the red head.
"I understand sir but I had a lot to hink about over the pst few days and I have come to a decision that you would like to hear."Pyrrha replied
Ozpin may not look like it but he was surrpsied that Pyrrha came to her decision so soon.
"And what might that be ?"he asked
Pyrrha took a moment to take a breath before letting it out"I have people I want to protect as well. And if it means to do this then so be it"Pyrrha thought before she spoke up.
"If anything were to happen to Cinder…i'll be your fall maiden."Pyrrha said with confidence.
Ozpin smiled a little before he spoke up"Your taking a big step Miss Nikos. For that I must thank you. Is their anything else you need to tell me?"Ozpin questioned
"No sir"Pyrrha said
"Very well. Then I must wish you a good night"Ozpin simply said as Pyrrha headed toward the elevator with what she said in her thoughts well knowing what danger she was putting herself in.
It was an interesting chapter with the meeting of some charaters meeting with each other. Pyrrha came to her decision on her role to play in this world. But it seems scar has alternative motives. Thanks for reading
