Ruby's shadowy friend

Dreams and arguments

I don't own Rwby and i don't own the picture.

"Well... that is something." said Yang shocked as they saw jaune sleeping in a net made of pink glowing string.

"What kind of grimm would do something like this!?" said Ruby shocked.

"The nightmare. It is a possesion type grimm which only shows itself after a moment of intense emotional exhaustion. I think Jaune reached that thing." said Cassie.

"How come i have not heared of it?" asked Percival.

"It is possible because if the host dies then grimm dies too. And with you all either dropping like flies or having the mental fortitude to pull of something insane, like headbutting an griffon to death, i suppose you are not something you would call "fertile ground" for that kind of grimm." said Cassie.

"ha! My head like iron became more usefull! A great boon for headbutting and apparently a even greater defense against these types of grimm! AHAHAHAHA! Laugh with me lad! AHAHAHAHAHAHA" laughed Percival before Death hit it with the knuckle of his finger which caused an metalic pling on Percivals ghostly head while he was laughting.

"Hard enough. No hollow or soft space on the inside detected" said Death before turning back to his object of minor curiosity.

"mmmhmm." said Mr Shadow as they watched Shion Zaiden set up her equipment.

"Students. That is Ms Shion Zaiden. She is our resident expert for nightmare grimms." said Glynda goodwitch.

"Glynda. Why are you shivering?" asked Shion for while she was also feeling unease it was much more manegable for her.

That is until Death touched a string out of his own curiousity which caused it to vibrate directly back to Shion.

Immeadetly turned Shion to the string that death touched while feeling unease while noticing a fraction of it missing.

With an expertly made cut and the missing part replaced.

"Did you have to touch it?" whispered Ruby.

"It is a fundamental part of gathering information and making an analysis." said Mr Shadow who was inspecting the string which was almost dripping with Shions aura.

"So what are we supposed to do?" asked Pyrrha with Ren and Nora standing behind her.

"You are going in his mind. My semblance can connect your conciousness with his so that you can invade his dreams and destroy the nightmare. It will most likely conjuer up a warped version of Jaune to protect itself." said Shion while Glynda was holding up a picture of how the nightmare is supposed to look.

It had a giant red eye, long tentacle like arms which looked like vines and alot of bone plating on the main body.

"Remember. Time works differently in there and i can only get you out as long as i you have coins which are my aura. Use up the coins and you as lucid dreamer will be trapped in there forever." said Shion before she felt a second touch upon her net.

"Gravity dust polymere composit with special materials to hold aura. A semblance which can connect peoples souls and consiousness to repair damage caused by outside forces that infiltrated the body and the mind." said Mr Shadow in analysis mode.

"Can't you do that too?" asked Percival who has been training Ruby in her dreams very often.

"I can but to see someone else doing it is worth the analysis. Even if the draw backs are rather dangerous for normal humans but it is understandable considering her less then ideal energy source that she is using." said Mr Shadow while securing his second sample
