Chapter 27: Pyro Night VS Enraged Celeste

Pyro Night and Enraged Celeste continued to fight each other in the air; their battle was causing flames and frost to clash against each other, leaving the Emerald Forest in chaos as it constantly switched from being on fire to being frozen over. Night launched multiple chains at Celeste as the blue haired woman soared into the sky, dodging the flaming chains with ease. She swooped down and smashed into the furious Night causing the two to grapple onto each other as they crashed into the ground like a meteor.

Celeste soared back into the sky and sheathed her blades as she held out both hands. Frost and ice began to form around her two fists as she pointed them down at Night, who just hopped out of the crater he made during the crash. He gritted his teeth as he pulled his flaming aura to all concentrate into his right hand. Celeste split the large aura of frost into both hands and then soared down directly at Night. Night forced the large ball of fire against his chest as the flames surrounded his body, turning him into a Phoenix as he flew directly at Celeste.

Thank god they were in the air.

The resulting blast from the two colliding was like a bomb had gone off. The explosion filled the afternoon sky completely as the two elements, fire and ice collided against each other in a brilliant conflict to see which would die out first. Once the flames and the frost cleared, Night stood on the ground, panting out of exhaustion. The flames around his began to die out as he got more and more tired from using the Pyro form. The longer he used it, the larger of a toll it took on his body.

Suddenly Celeste landed down from the sky and glared at Night as she kicked him in the gut, the sheer force of the kick as enough to throw Night through a small tree. Night groaned as he slowly stood up as he looked at the menacing enraged form of Celeste walking towards him, her bowie knives ready to strike. She turned one of the knives into a Desert Eagle and aimed it at his head. Unexpectedly, Celeste’s hair started to turn back into its usual black colour, starting from her scalp down to the tips of her hair. Her red eyes returned to their normal grey colour as her hair also fixed its self, with the usual two strands blocking any view of her right eye. Her left eye closed as the woman passed out, collapsing to the ground.

Night crawled towards the unconscious girl and turns her over to look at her face. Celeste had definitely returned to her normal self, but what the hell was that back there?! He looked at her head to toe to see if there were any major injures which other than her exhaustion there was no sign of bruising or cuts.

“You have some major explaining to, Mr. Volstrum!” Ozpin said intimidating. Night took his eyes off Celeste and looked up at a very frustrated Professor Ozpin. He only had his cane this time, were as usually he would have his coffee in the opposite hand. Ozpin looked in the distance to see Diana Eursasian lying unconscious in the foods with her arm twisted back. Ozpin sighed as he pulled out his tablet and called out for the nurse, or any help to care the three students in.

“What is a matter with you, Night?” Ozpin asked in frustration, “Haven’t you learned what your Pyrokentic powers can do by now? Use them wisely rather than to nearly destroy a whole forest, especially one as important to study and research as the Emerald Forest!” Night remained silent as he sat a chair away from Celeste, who had put her cloak back on rather than revealing her real outfit.

“I have to admit, the forest was for the most part unscathed from your battle with Miss Hydelean, which I am thankful that you two didn’t destroy such a place, however in the case of what if, you two weren’t battling in the air the forest would’ve been desecrated” Ozpin explained. Night looked at Celeste for a moment, “Celeste Hydelean” he repeated in his head. Night didn’t know her last name until now; come to think of it no one called Celeste by her last name, not even Goodwitch.

“I would give out a strict punishment however, in the case of Miss Hydelean’s unique “Rage” Semblance, which she cannot fully control, and the fact that the Military will be here any day now, giving out a punishment for you two would be foolish and a waste of our time. However, Mr. Armbruster and I will talk about this little HNTD VS DARC war” Ozpin explained to the two students, “You’re dismissed- but remember, if I catch you two doing something like this again I WILL NOT let you off the hook so easily”.

“Rage Semblance?” Night questioned as he walked with Celeste. The black haired girl refused to look at Night in the eye after the fight they had,

“I-It’s horrible...” Celeste replied, “Often its activated i-if I am angry, but sometimes I-it will activate at random...  which is what happened with us... I-I... I’m so sorry” Celeste apologized as she wrapped her arms around Night’s chest, resting her head against his shoulder. Night smiled slightly as he hugged the shy girl back,

“Hey, it’s alright... my Pyro form isn’t very controllable either, I should be apologizing” Night replied with a small laugh. Celeste looked up at Night; her grey almost looked like it was sparkling,

“Y-You understand h-how I feel?” Celeste asked.

“I mean- yeah I guess” Night replied with a warm smile. Thalia turned the corner and then came to a halt. She quickly hid back behind the corner and watched Night talking to Celeste. Thalia could not suppress her anger as she watched Celeste talk to Night with that smile of hers. “Why is she talking to him?” Thalia asked. She tried to calm down as she told herself that they were just friends. Thalia turned the other way and continued walking down the hall as she wrapped her head around how angry she was. It was unacceptable how angry she was at Celeste just because Thalia had a crush on Night. The girl couldn’t help but feel bad about what she did, despite no one saw or felt what Thalia felt.

“Hey, is Blake here?” Hunter asked Yang as the blonde answered the door to the RWBY dorm room. Yang grinned and gestured for Hunter to enter the dorm room, indicating Blake was indeed in the room. Yang then left the room and closed the door behind her. Blake looked up from her book, upon seeing Hunter she quickly put her bookmark in her book and stood up from her bed. She quickly hugged Hunter as he hugged her back.

“Where were you?” Blake asked as looked into Hunter’s orange eyes.

“I was... I guess you could say, at war with Team DARC” Hunter replied a little too casually. “You remember that Diana girl I attacked in the Cafe?” Blake nodded as she gestured for Hunter to continue his thought, “Well I fought her, Thalia fought Alice, Dust fought Ramona and Night ended up fighting Celeste somehow.. I didn’t see the whole thing”.

“Well rumours are already spreading about Night VS Celeste, after all who didn’t see or hear that blast?” Blake questioned. “So where’s Diana now?”

“Probably in the nurse’s room getting treatment for the cuts, burns and broken arm I gave her” Hunter answered with a wolfish grin. Blake’s eyes widened in surprise, but then remember that these wounds were inflicted on Diana. Instead Blake smirked,

“About time someone wounded that racist bitch!” Blake said confidently. Hunter laughed at Blake’s sudden turn on her personality when it came to someone she hated being harmed. Suddenly the door to the RWBY dorm swung open,

“Yo Blake! I just wanted to know if you’re free to-“Sun stopped his sentence and looked angrily at Hunter as the wolf eared Faunus was still embracing Blake. Hunter looked over his shoulder and glared at Sun like he had glared at no one before. If looks could kill, Sun would be nothing but ashes. “Get the fuck out!” Hunter growled as he let go of Blake to face Sun. Sun glared back at Hunter and left the dorm room, slamming the door behind him. Hunter snarled and the followed Sun outside in the halls,

“Hey!! Come here, I got somethin’ to say to you” Hunter shouted. Sun stopped walking and faced Hunter,

“What?” Sun questioned angrily.

“Next time we have the Arena class, you and me, one V one, got it?” Hunter asked as he took a step closer. Sun’s anger raised as he moved closer to Hunter, the two Faunus glaring at each other as their eyes filled with hatred,

“Deal” Sun answered.
