Ch. 4: The Pieces, Part 1
Gold, Orange
Chloe had a hard time sleeping due to the fact she had to sleep in a sleeping bag and worst of all, sleep on the floor. Is this how Sabrina felt, Chloe was going to make sure that things changed between her and Sabrina for the better.
Speaking of which, Sabrina was already insisting that she do everything for Chloe as soon as they woke up for breakfast to which Chloe comely explained that "Our friendship can't go on like this, it needs approving for it to work. For your own well hood Sabrina."
To which Sabrina said "But my parents always said that a good person always was obedient and always followed what others said." "Sabrina other people don't do that and they not bad people for it, so why are you the exception?"
Chloe said, only for Sabrina to say "I don't know!" She then breaks down crying and leaves but before Chloe could follow, a blue haired with hair long enough to reach his chin teen. Wearing a yellow zipped up vest, over a long-sleeved orange shirt, yellow gloves, orange pants and yellow boots.
To come up to Chloe and he said not having heard the conversation "T..That wa..wasn't co..ol, yo..ou know." He stuttered meekly "I was trying to help a friend realize that her parent's teaching are toxic and that we, I'm talking about her and me. Need to help her get better and get a better mindset then that."
Chloe answered but the boy she was talking to said "I..I was jus..us..t try..ing to he..elp."
"Well, you were doing the right thing. So, I can give you pointers for that but if you really want to help people. Like really help them, then stop with the stuttering. No one you're trying to stop will take you serious with them, I say be loud and proud, you got a dream which you are following. Then there's nothing to be ashamed of, be proud of who you are and never let anyone put you down or/and stop you from being who you are because that is how true warriors act. No, that's how true huntsmen act."
Chloe said, only for the guy she was stalking to say "I'm Marc Phoenix and that is who I am." "Good, now I have to go and comfort a friend. So, bye." Chloe said, leaving the guy now known as Marc to take her lesson to heart
Chloe eventually caught up to Sabrina and when Chloe put a hand on Sabrina's shoulder, she shot up and said
"I'm going to do it; I'm going to go to the head of the police and tell him of the abuse that my parents put me under but I will have to miss the entrance exam and even if I wasn't going to. I still wouldn't go through the exam because this, this is your dream. Not mine, so after getting my parents arrested. I'll find my own thing I want to do with my life, that doesn't include being someone's personal maid. No offense Chloe."
"None taken girl, you go girl!" Chloe said and the two hugged before Sabrina left to get her bags and leave for Atlas. With Chloe waving her off, only being brought out of it when Glynda over the intercom said
"You've got five more minutes of breakfast; I employ you use them well." And Chloe rushed to breakfast and ate it as fast as humanly possible, despite hating every bite and was finished before the announcement that it was time for the entrance exam.
Which was held at a mountain side with Ozpin saying "When you enter the forest below, your partner will be whoever you land eyes on first and you two's goal is to get to the temple and get a relic. If either of you encounter any Grimm before you do, then I suggest you kill it. Any questions?"
"How do we get down?" Said Marc without stuttering, to Chloe's glee. Only for Ozpin to push a button that set off the launch pads under the kids, one at a time. Launching them into the air and over the forest.
Then it came her turn where she tied her spin top onto a tree and swung but keep it tied to that tree until the swinging from the momentum was done and she lowered herself to the ground, then she turned the tree into liquid gold and retrieved the top
And went on her merry way, skipping all the while. Until she saw a Grimm (a Boarbatask) and turned the floor underneath it (only the grass) to liquid gold, making it a slippery substance for the Grimm which another test taker took advantage of by blowing wind thanks to her wind infused flute.
Which caused the Grimm to slam into a rock and pass out, which the flute girl took advantage of by using fire dust to burn it alive but it got up and tried to charge at the flute girl. Only for Chloe to tie the Grimm up with her top and the flute girl hit it with an earth dust infused flute attack
Killing it and the two met with them officially becoming partners while shaking hands and giving each other, each other's names. And went towards the temple.
Red and Black, Black and Green
Adrien didn't have a plan for going to the ground at high speeds, so he improvised and used gravity dust on himself to make himself flout. Stopping after going further a bit due to momentum and then used his baton to go to the nearest tree and climbed down.
And once down, the gravity dust's effect wore off and he wasn't flouting anymore. So, he went to find a partner. Hopefully Marinette and was lucky enough to see her land by her yo-yoing a tree and going around it while going down until she reached the bottom and did a tuck and roll
He immediately went to be her partner but a Grimm (a Beowolf) was in the way and he used his super strength against it in a punch but then while it was in mid-air a yo-yo tied around it and pulled it into an anchor that was definitely not there before, then he hit it with his baton that had earth at the end thanks to his semblance plus while he was using his super strength
Killing it, they then met eyes. Well, he kind've forced it on his end. Earning him a "Well, aren't you an eager one. Aren't you." "Sorry, I was just feline up to be your partner." Adrien said, getting Marinette to inwardly groan from that
So, the two walked until they ran into a cave and Adrien said excited "Maybe the treasures in here?" And went into the cave slightly before Marinette pulled him out with her yo-yo and she said "Wait, that could be a Grimm den!"
"Your right, better pasta it up." Adrien said, getting Marinette to groan outwardly this time. Hearing this Adrien said "What's wrong, my little lady friend." "What's wrong, is that I want you back to your true self. Back in the junkyard, not this punk poser and pun lover. God the puns, I can't take the puns anymore."
Marinette said, only for Adrien to say "So, you want me to be the way I was before?" "Yes!" Marinette said, only for Adrien to say "Controlled by my father and never allowed to be my true self?"
"Yes, what wait?" Marinette said, only for Adrien to say "I was controlled by my father for most of my life and even after that, I was scared of being myself for scaring my dear sweet mother who gave me freedom. Who I already hurt."
"Adrien, I..." Marinette said but a Death Stalker came out of the cave, making Adrien say "What did you say about this being a Grimm den?" And the two fled, with Marinette saying "I didn't know about your living situation, I'm sorry."
"Can you save the sorrys for after we get to safety?" Adrien asked, only for Marinette to say "But I need to say this, I need to make it up to you." "Make it up by using your brilliant mind to think of a way out of this."
Adrien said, they then got to a clearing where Chloe and Alya was and Marinette said "What's your semblance Alya?" "I can make illusions, why?" Alya answered, only for Adrien to say "Where are you going with this my little lady?" Only for Marinette to give a confident smile and say
"Alya make an illusion of another Death Stalker to distract it, so Chloe can make the floor underneath it slippery by making it into liquid gold, I will snap off it's stinger on it's tail with my yo-yo and Adrien you will hit the stinger while it's in mid-air with your semblance into the scorpion Grimm. Everybody got their part of the plan?"
Earning her a "Yep!" From everybody else and Alya made an illusion of the Grimm, distracting it long enough for Chloe to make the ground under it slippery by making it into liquid gold. Then Marinette yo-yoed the stinger on the tail off and while it was in mid-air, Adrien hit it with his baton while he was making it had rocks at the end with his semblance and using his super strength.
Killing the Grimm and Adrien forgave Marinette and the four teens as celebration all grabbed a king piece.
