MiRACLe: Infinite Mindworks (A RWBY story)

[1] 6: This will be the Day part 2

Amidst the lush green Emerald forest, a grayscale blur disturbed it's peace. Foot steps galloped as a boy in a white cloak rode on his noble steed, a giant lycanthrope creature covered in bone plate armor and currently speeding through the woods like some distorted tale of Little Red Riding Hood with far more emphasis on the last two words more than anything. He was alsp currently being chased by another beowolf as well.

The two then burst out of the foliage, surprising a swordsman wielding a blade of his size. He then turns around and then forms a bow and fires one of the sword arrows from earlier that month at the beowolf. It was surprisingly lethal, killing the creature with one well placed shot. However it made him screech in pain just how mana intensive it was to recreate that arrow quality.

Mal then thought to himself "Alright, this is that guy from yesterday. Don't be awkward or he's gonna run away again, and a runaway partner is NOT what I need. I got it! Make a pop culture reference, that's always a good icebreaker."

He then says, with an obviously faked Austrian accent "Come with me if you want to live." His face then pales when the boy said "Huh?" to which Mal spared no time and yanked him on as he inwardly panicked saying "Crap! I forgot I'm not in Earth anymore! Now be ready to project chains in case he tries tl escape."

Seeing the boy look at him weirdly, he then said "So... Do you maybe know where the relics are?" to which the boy then whispered out "I-I... had a good view of it... O-over there, in the temple due north east."

Mal then tries to be friendly and lightly pats him on the back and says "Good man! Uh, here we go!" finishing that last part with a slight Italian accent. He then says "Tally ho Fenrir! Tally ho!" since that seemed like the only way to move the darn beast.

While they were riding, Cenn then tapped Mal's shoulder and asked "W-what's with this grimm? Why does he look differently?", his voice as quiet as ever. Mal, being forced to rely on context clues then replied with "If you're asking why he looks like this, then it's because I somehow infected him with my aura. If you are asking why I can control him, please refer to question one. If you are asking me if I'm too young to drive, then all I can say is that I am as long as the cops don't find out. If you are asking me if I KNOW how to drive... Well... Let's just say I'm self taught."

Cenn's eyes widen at the sudden revelation of Mal's driving skill but then shook it off at how well he was managing so far. Cenn then stayed quiet for a little bit. Mal, not liking the awkward silence, then muttered to himself "Quick, make small talk, make small talk! Don't make others suffer awkward silence."

He then looked at Cenn and said "So! Who woulda thunk we'd be partners right? I mean hehehe... Uh..." Cenn nodded and then lowered his eyes. On the other hand, Mal went into internal panic. "Crap! What do I do? I've never had to play "mr. talk to everyone" before. What do I do, what do I do?!"

Cenn then whipped his head up and looked towards the sound of an explosion. He then, for a brief few seconds, then saw a tuft of red hair. A random stray rocket then started making its way towards them, making Mal pull out his bow from earlier, and knock an arrow. However he was too late!

"Brace for impact!"

*clank!*

Mal looks up to see Cenn somehow pull out his human sized sword AND deflect a missile, faster than he himself could draw his bow. The missile exploded behind them as Mal then looked at his partner wide eyed. He then shook his head and eyed at the person who just shot them.

Mal then says "Watch where you're pointing that thing!" to which silence met him instead. Suddenly, two scarlet wings explode from the smoke and blows it away, leaving a behemoth of a man towering above both Mal and Cenn in terms of height. He then looks down at them and merely nods in acknowledgement. His purple, reptilian eyes boring down yet being equalled by Mal's slightly timid, yet otherwise steadfast steel grey orbs.
