RWBY The Champion and The Monster (RWBY x OC's) [On Hiatus]

Forever Falls, Part 2

The opening ends to Jaune Arc getting pushed to the ground of Forever Fall right after the events of the "Forever Fall", groaning as he looks up and sees a sap-covered Cardin looming over him. The bigger warrior picks Jaune up by his front and grins while punching him back to the ground.

Cardin: You know that wasn't very smart, Jauney boy. (picks up a bruised Jaune again while the rest of Team CRDL watches) I'm gonna make sure they send you back to mommy in teeny tiny pieces.

Jaune: (head hanging back) I don't care what you do to me... (looks at Cardin with fury) ... but you are not messing with my team.

Cardin: (looking momentarily shocked) What? You think talk like that makes you tough? You think you're a big strong man now?

Jaune smiles in defiance. An enraged Cardin roars and raises his fist again, but just as the hit connects, a bright light shines from Jaune, and when the white fades from the screen, Cardin is crying out in pain as he holds his hand. Jaune, now back on the ground but completely healed, looks confusedly at his hands as they faintly glow white. While he stares, though, Sky Lark kicks Jaune in the back and gets him on his stomach, but he looks up and glares at the approaching Cardin.

Cardin: Let's see how much of a man you really are...

Just as he says this, a low growl is heard, and a surprised Team CRDL turns around and sees a large paw crash onto the scene, belonging to a huge Ursa Major with dozens of jagged spikes sticking out from its wide back. It leaps forward and stands over the terrified students, lifting its head in the air to smell the sap on Cardin's breastplate. It lands back on its forelegs and roars at Cardin while his teammates heroically flee.

Russel: That's a big Ursa!

Cardin is rooted to the spot when the Grimm swings its claws and knocks him sideways, revealing Jaune cowering behind him. The Ursa continues to sniff, uninterested in Jaune and following its nose to Cardin. He watches at it towers over Cardin, who gets his wits and pulls out The Executioner only for the monster to swipe it away to Jaune's feet. He looks conflicted, wondering whether to fight or run away.

A Few Minutes Prior

Rody and his brother had been busy collecting sap, dodging a few close calls with Nora, who had not-so-secretly been devouring all the sap from different groups. After filling up Donnie's jar it was Rody's turn, so Donnie had to watch and keep an eye on the energetic ginger, so she doesn't try anything, but it would seem that she's occupied with eating her own team's sap. He needed syrup for his pancakes damn it! Unbeknownst to Rody, Pyrrha Nikkos had been walking up behind him.

Pyrrha: Hey, Rody?

Rody jumps a little before turning around, sighing in relief.

Rody: *whew* Scared me for a sec. 

Pyrrha: Sorry! But I kind of needed to talk to you about something.

Rody: Uh, sure what's up? (he noticed that Pyrrha seemed a little fidgety) You okay Pyrrha?

Pyrrha: Oh, y-yeah! I'm fine...Well, I was just wondering what last night was about.

Rody: ...

Pyrrha: Rody?

Rody: (sigh) Look Pyrrha, Jaune and I just had some...Issues that we needed to work out. Guy talk if you will. There's nothing to worry about.

Rody still has a smile on his face, but Pyrrha was more than aware of what was said during Jaune and Rody's argument last night.

Pyrrha: A-all right...If you're sure.

Rody gently touches Pyrrha's arm to get her full attention.

Rody: Jaune will be fine...Just believe in him a little more. I'm sure he'll eventually figure things out himself.
