Experiment - A RWBY Fanfiction - rewrite

Training

Winter POV
The kid actually made something useful. Dual scythes with extendable chains linking the two. The scythes can turn into dual rifles. Pretty nifty. It also seems like he has some previous training with them cause he is pretty good. Even if this is his first year hes actually doing pretty well for himself. He's not doing great academically-wise though. Since he never got proper education, he has a hard time understanding the world around him. He is clever but this kind of education is four years ahead of him. Once Penny came, though, he had an easier time. They would always stay up late and she would help him study. The two almost immediately clicked as friends. I guess Doctor Polendina did good work. One thing that concerns me is that Confida'ant doesn't have an aura.

flashback yey
I had to test Mr. Calavera with his strengths. He was quick but a bit sloppy with his moves. I stabbed him with my rapier and he barely dodged, leaving a scratchmark on his face. I thought to myself, Why didn't he activate his aura? After the fight, I won. "Hey Calavera, why didn't you use aura?" "First, please call me Confida'ant, or better yet, Fida. And to answer your question, my leader, I can't because I don't have an aura." I audibly gasp and look at him. "If you are wondering why, it's because the experiments taxed my aura so much that it stopped becoming defensive and purely focused on healing." He looked down at his feet, his wrists beginning to spark with purple lightning. He slowly waved his tail. "I see. I guess we will have to learn more about your power as time goes on." He looked back at me with his brown hair almost covering his silver eyes. I could feel a glimmer of hope inside of him. We walked back to our dorms.
bye flashback
With the installation of more feelings in Penny's system, Fida grows closer and closer to Penny. I view him as the little brother that Whitley could be. Whitley, is a bit difficult. He's a lot like our dad, cunning and cruel even though he is still young. My sister tries to stay away from the two and I help her as much as possible. She is the same age as Confida'ant and I view them as family but the two are polar opposites.

Penny returned from her testing of friendship again and Confida'ant had high hopes. "Hello Confida'ant Calavera! Want to be friends again?" "Yes!" He said. It was nice watching them interact. "But can we be best friends?" "Ooh! We can try on new clothes and talk about cute boys!" Penny misinterpreted. "Sorry, i'm not into boys but we can still have fun!" "Based on some of my new testing, people view this kind of interaction as fun!" Penny stands up and kisses Confida'ant. At this point me and Hera were fully watching. Fida had a large blush on his face and his tail was sparking a lot. "P-P-Penny! You just took my first kiss! And you are supposed to fo that to someone your in love with!" His tail was gyrating a lot. "What is love?" Penny said. "Love is when you have a strong feeling in your heart towards someone. Its like when you talk to them it brightens your day and-" He was extremely flustered at this point, sitting in a fetal position. "Do you love me?" Penny inquired. "U-um..... uhh... Oh! Look at the time! Its almost lights out right Winter?" He looked at me with an expression that said, Please help me this situation is awkward! I sighed and said, "Yes it is." It was pretty entertaining to see the two run around like children, concerned with their love life and Penny being the impossible thing to love, a robot. I turned out the lights and got into bed. The last thing I saw before drifting into sleep was the electricity on Fida's hands when he facepalmed and Penny's green eyes closing.

Over the course of a few months, Fida got proficient at his dual scythes. I heard his grandmother was the Grimm Reaper and he named the two Checks and Balances. He even was assigned as Penny's personal bodyguard. I could tell Fida was hurting a bit though. When he talked to Penny he always tried to teach her new feelings himself and I knew he had a large crush on her but she hadn't quite learned the ins and outs of love. But today, we had our first mission. It was a mission to escort a package of dust across a bandit-filled area of Atlas, in the lands far off. Apparently it would go all the way to an island in Vale called Patch.
