RWBY May Cry

Teams and Tribulations

Just the luck, With everyone wandering the forest and trying to get their dream teams; some people can learn more about the people they are coupled with....and some have a little more to them then initially thought

With Jae having to open up to Pyrrha about his Semblance and his secret weapon, it leads to more questions; how can he do it? why does he not like talking about it.....and what did he do to discover it

"And so that makes our last pair....Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie....I feel sorry for the poor boy, though I would say it is a remarkable difference with Mr Cielo and Ms Nikos, I know you said that you would keep him on an observation period this semester but I am honestly still not certain that he is-" Glynda would say as she observed everyone's progress before noticing Ozpin's stare over the cliff face; "Your concern is noted Glynda, but remember that the whole point of this exercise is to determine the first years' strengths, weaknesses and more importantly...their potential." Ozpin would remind her as he sipped from his mug; "Besides, we have already given our terms for him to do his best under our supervision at Beacon...the most that we can do is have faith that he will fulfill them." Ozpin would mention as he pulled out his own tablet to view the others; watching Ren following after Nora, Yang fighting a pack of Ursa with Ruby and Weiss bickering among themselves.

"So why exactly did you come looking for me specifically?" Jae would inquire as he handed his new teammate her weapon back after his less then graceful fall to the ground, Pyrrha had helped him up as she sheathed her spear and then looked around to be cautious of Grimm; "Well....considering the last time we met was in the locker room, I wanted to make sure that we didn't start on the wrong foot....plus you were falling out of the sky and heading straight for a tree." she would mention as they started walking, her focus on the task but also making sure her new partner had healed up from his fall, "Yeah, I guess that kind of tracks, but you don't have to worry...I had my gun ready to cushion the impact plus I tend to be pretty good at taking a hit." he would shrug off the concerns as he followed after her, keeping the second pair of eyes out for where Pyrrha wasn't looking. The forest was quiet save for the random snapping of twigs and rustling of leaves around them; "Did you run into anyone else on the way here?" Jae asked Pyrrha curiously; remembering that Weiss was kicking up a stink about Pyrrha's popularity and seeing as they were technically partners, he wanted to see what he was dealing with.

"No, once I landed, I tried to follow the trajectory of my spear throw....so far I hadn't met anyone along the way, though I wouldn't mind meeting our new teammates...whoever they may be." Pyrrha would say optimistically as they cut through the underbrush, navigating around the bushes and the tree branches, however one such branch sprang backwards and hit Jae square in the face with a painful sounding Thwack. "Gah!" Jae would exclaim as he felt the sharp edge sting his cheek and rubbed at it with his thumb; "Jae! Sorry, I wasn't looking an-wait...why didn't you activate your Aura?" Pyrrha would apologise before noticing that the scratch wasn't healing.

"I-It's okay, things like that happen sometimes...it's just a scratch anyway." Jae would wave it off as he noticed Pyrrha's confused look and then turned to slight concern; "Jae, your aura...how come you're not using it or...do you not know how to activate it?" she would ask, drawing out a look of unease from Jae as he averted his gaze from her's; "Look, I know it's dumb but....it's complicated okay?" he would remark though she still remained focused on him; "Jae, this isn't something to ignore, this is serious....if you're not using your aura while fighting Grimm then you're putting yourself in danger." Pyrrha would explain to him with an understandable concern as he tried to push on to look for relics, or a Grimm.

"Look I'm not trying to make excuses, I just....I have a-" he would start to explain but he heard a tree collapse and a pack of retreating Beowulves heading their way before turning to face them, picking up on Jae's anxieties and drawing closer seemed to put them back in fight mode. "Alright, we can fight through to the temple for now, but I at least want to know what's wrong." Pyrrha would say, drawing her weapon and shield before rushing at the approaching Grimm.
