Road To Redemption

Trial Of Beacon

Y/N POV

That night I lay on my back. But I keep fiddling with the collar which makes it uncomfortable to lay down.

Y/N: "Dumb collar."

I sigh when that Ruby girl sits next to me.

Y/N: "There something you need?"

Ruby: "I just wanna say thanks for what you did earlier."

I turn my back to her.

Y/N: "Don't mention it."

Ruby: "You're a good man for sticking up for me."

Y/N: "I can assure you I ain't a good man."

Ruby: "What, sure you are. You-"

Y/N: "Go to bed kid."

She ceases her talking and walks away. I think about what she said.

Y/N: "I'm far from a good man."

The next morning I'm blasted awake by a loud girl.

Girl: "Wake up you lazy bum!!! It's time to get up!!!"

I glare at her before getting up. Dragging my body I find myself at a cliff overlooking a forest.

Ozpin: "All of you have trained tirelessly for this one moment. And today all that training will be put to the test."

Blonde: "As some of you may be confused on the rumors on teammates, allow me to end your confusion. They're true and you'll be given them today."

Ozpin: "The first person you see after landing shall be your partner. Once you have one you both are to head north of the forest when you'll collect one relic. Bring it back here so that you may get a grade. Are these instructions clear?"

They nod.

Ozpin: "Good."

The students begin getting flung into the forest. I'm the last to be launched. I soar through the air waiting for the ground to start getting closer. When it does I activate a semblance. I sling my arm sending out a tendril of shadows. It wraps around a tree allowing me to swing around it until I roll onto my feet.

Y/N: "Now to get a relic."

I run north towards the relics. About ten minutes in I encounter the others who're mid fight with a Deathstalker and Nevermore. I look around when I see the Deathstalker about to kill Ruby. I use another semblance to zip to her as lightning. The stinger comes down which pierces my stomach exiting my lower back.

Ruby: "Why?"

Y/N: "Get out of here kid."

Ruby: "But-"

Y/N: "Now."

I grab the stinger and dislodge it as blood gushes out. Switching semblances I use my enhanced strength to toss the Deathstalker into the Nevermore grounding it. I look back to see Ruby still sitting in shock.

Y/N: "What're you waiting for, go!!!"

A blonde girl grabs her and runs her away with some others. I withdraw my daggers as the two giant Grimm roar at me. 

Y/N: "Bring it on chumps."

The Deathstalker slams its stinger down which I jump back to avoid. I deliver a slash that makes it screech in pain. The Nevermore makes its razor sharp feathers rain down on me. I switch semblances burrowing into the ground. 

I then rocket out towards the Nevermore. It squawks ready to eat me. I willingly let it. It roars in victory thinking it won. I however activate another semblance. This one sets my body ablaze. The flames spread quickly devouring the Nevermore. I land safely on the ground when a pincer is swung into my chest. 

I go flying backwards slamming into a tree. My spine shatters emitting a loud crack. I groan trying to get up only to fall back down. Damn overgrown scorpion. I look up as the Deathstalker's stinger comes down on me.

My spine snaps back together allowing me to jump to safety. I look down at the Deathstalker which hisses in anger. Switching semblances I raise one of my daggers. The skies darken as lightning heads for the dagger. I finally come down striking the Deathstalker with the lightning. It screeches as its body develops deep burns.

I land as the lightning subsides. I smile when the Deathstalker manages to grab ahold of me with its pincers. It applies pressure deeply cutting into my body. It growls in a mocking tone. More pressure is added sending blood out staining the grass.

Y/N: "You're not gonna kill me that easily."

I switch semblances one last time. My body bursts into smoke allowing me to escape. I reform beside the Deathstalker. I plunge bot daggers into the Deathstalker's head instantly killing it. I look down at my wounds which seal themselves shut. Now healed I head back to the auditorium.
