Jaune Arc - Dreamscape

Chapter 16

Amber was not in a good mood. Ironwood tried to stop her as if he controlled her life. Ozpin might have told her she shouldn't leave, but he never got physical, but Ironwood did.

As Amber rode the elevator back to the ground floor, Ozpin and the others were still in the vault. Shocked would be an understatement of what they were feeling. After Amber pushed Ironwood, she used her speed to head to the elevator without anyone realizing it, as she moved too fast.

Glynda said, "What just happened? How did she move that fast?"

Qrow added, "And her strength. She wasn't that strong before. Her motor functions are working optimally for someone who should have been in a coma."

Ozpin said, "I'm curious. How did Mr. Arc help her through his dreams? I can't think of a logical way that would work, even if we see semblances break physics. The only explanation would be something like magic."

Qrow became somewhat sober, saying, "You can't mean he has a Maiden's power or something similar."

Ozpin shook his head and said, "It isn't something like the Maiden's power, that's for sure. The power of the Maiden is only control over the elements. To heal someone with Miss Amber's affliction, you would need more potent magic and magic knowledge. I may know but do not have the required magic."

He turned to Glynda and asked, "Do you know what Mr. Arc's semblance might be?"

Glynda shook her head, "I don't know. He hasn't shown anything that would say it's a semblance."

Glynda never mentioned the incident with Neptune. She didn't want Jaune to be on Ozpin's radar more than he was after he faked his way in. She knew, and she helped him get in. She always believed Jaune had what it took to be a Huntsman, but he needed to be pushed in the right direction.

Amber was on her way to the bullhead that was about to leave. She didn't have her weapon with her, but thanks to Jaune's Dreamscape, her control over her magic was much more potent, even if she only had half. Plus, she has added many of the stats to the Mana stat, causing her Magic to increase exponentially.

Amber grumbled, "It's a shame that the Bag of Holding Jaune gave me is with him. Well, it's fine. I get to meet him in person. I would still be stuck in that machine if it weren't for him. Though it was keeping me alive, that's all. I don't want to live a life where I am stuck inside a machine forever."

In Menagerie, Blake was heading home when she noticed someone following her. She pretended not to notice. She wanted to catch the person and ask what they were after. It wasn't that difficult to trick the person. She turned in one of the corners, and when the person following turned the corner, Blake was gone.

Or it seems.

From behind the stalker, Blake grabbed the cloak and saw who it was. She said, "Sun! What are you doing following me?"

Sun scratched the back of his head and said, "Ever since the incident with Neptune, I haven't been able to speak to you. I saw you board the bullhead and wanted to speak to you. So, I may have followed you here since I couldn't gather the courage to approach you."

Blake rolled her eyes and said, "What do you want, Sun?"

Sun smiled and said, "Ever since the dance, I thought we were compatible. So, I wanted to ask you out on a date."

Blake sighed, shook her head, and said, "I'm sorry, Sun, but I'm already seeing someone. And even if I wasn't, you're not my type. You are literally the walking prejudice of Faunus kind."

Sun was shocked, "Seriously!"

Blake replied, "Yes, Sun. Anyway, I have to go. I haven't seen my parents in years. They're probably worried sick about me after I left to join the Fang when it became violent."
