Chapter 8: Having a Loose Screw
-Few Weeks Later, Sapphire POV-
We were in Ms. GoodBitch class watching Jaune get his ass handed to him by the one and only Cardin until they got into a struggle.
"This is the part where you lose."
"Over my dead-" Jaune grunts as Cardin knees him.
As Cardin goes to finish him a buzzer went off calling the match.
"Cardin, that's enough..." Glynda said as she walked forward. "Students, as you can see Mr. Arc's aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament style duel, this would indicate that Jaune in no longer fit for battle and that the official may call the match. Mr. Arc, it's been weeks now, please try to refer to your scroll during combat, gauging your aura will help you to decide when it is appropriate to attack or when it's better to move to a more...defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowulf, now would we?"
"Speak for yourself..." Cardin mumbled.
"Remember everyone! The Vytal Festival is only a few months away. It won't be long before before students from the other kingdoms start arriving in Vale, so keep practicing. Those who chose to compete in the combat tournament will representing all of Vale.
The bell rings and I was the first one out of the room heading towards the one place I love, the cafeteria.
-Mini Time Skip, 3rd POV-
"So...There we were...In the middle of the night..." Nora started only for Ren to but in.
"It was day..."
"We were surrounded by Ursai..."
"They were Beowolves."
"DOZENS OF THEM!" She suddenly blurted out startling Yang, Amethyst and Sapphire as they were paying attention to the story.
"Two of'em..."
"But they were no match and in the end...Ren and I took them down and made a boatload of Lien selling Ursa skin rugs!"
Ren sighed. "...She's been having this reoccurring dream for nearly a month now..."
"Wait wait wait...How come you sell Ursa skin rugs if they turn into dust after you kill them..?" Sapphire asked Nora.
"Oh...ugh..." She smiled nervously.
"And without me..." Sapphire faked a depress look on her face as it worked all too well on Nora who burst into tears while pulling Sapphire into a bone crushing hug.
"I'm so sorry Sapphire!" She sobbed. "I'll be sure to include you next time.
"Jaune..." Pyrrha spoke to him. "Are you okay?"
"Huh?" He directed his attention towards her. "Oh, yeah! Why?"
"It's just that you seem a little...not okay..." Ruby stated.
"Yeah, your attitude is bit of a buzz kill..." Zuwon said now looking at him.
"Eh, guys, I'm fine...Seriously, look!" He gave a thumbs up while laughing nervously.
"You are an idiot." Dominic told him.
There was mocking somewhere else in the cafeteria which drew Amethyst and Sapphire's attention.
"Jaune, Cardin's been picking on you since the first week of school."
"Who? Cardin Winchester? Nah...He just likes to mess around, you know? Practical jokes!"
"He is a bully." Ruby stated looking a bit annoyed of her friend's denial.
"Oh please...name one time he's 'bullied' me..."
They go through all the times Cardin bullied him ending off when Cardin pushed him in the locker launching him out the school.
"I didn't land far from the school..."
"Jaune, you know if you ever need help you can just ask..." Pyrrha said to him as Nora jumps up.
"OOH! We'll break his legs!"
"Count me in!" Zuwon said a little excited.
Jaune stands up. "Guys, really, it's fine! Besides, it's not like he's only a jerk to me; he's a jerk to everyone."
"Ooww, that hurt!" At a nearby table Cardin and his team was picking on a bunny faunas while Cardin was pulling on one of her bunny ears. "Please, stop..."
Cardin laughed. "I told you it was real!"
His teammate Russel laughed saying. "What a freak!"
And that was the last straw as something snaps causing everyone to look at the source being Sapphire since she snapped her fork in half while both she and Amethyst was releasing a terrifying aura making most people get a nervous chill down their spines.
Both ladies stood up and walked towards Cardin before stopping in front of him.
"What do you two want?!" He said cockily still holding on to the girl's bunny ears.
"Let the girl go..." Amethyst said in a monotone voice, luckily she had her mask on standing over him adding more effect to do as she commanded.
But he didn't budge. "Oh? And why should I?"
"If you don't heed this warning, I can't promise your safety..."
Cardin laughed. "Oh yeah? What are you going to do to me? Stare through that mask of yours? You're probably too ugly to show your face!" He mocked her.
Amethyst wanted to kill him right then and there but felt the anger of her leader. Smiling she looked at Sapphire and nodded making Sapphire smirk darkly in joy.
"Hey Cardin~ You wanna keep that hand of yours?" She said in a sickening happy tone creeping Cardin and his team out.
"What do you mean 'do I want to keep my hand'?"
"Oh you innocent boy~" She sat on his lap caressing his cheek with a crazed grin. "You should know exactly what I mean~" She trailed her hand down his arm grabbing his wrist of the hand that was still holding on to the girl's bunny ear before snapping it making an audible crack for most to hear.
It took a second for the pain to hit Cardin as he let's go bringing his other hand to his now broken wrist. "Ow! What the fuck!" He goes to glare at her but decided against it seeing what her aura had manifested almost shitting himself.
"
No here's the deal..." She glares at Cardin and his team. "I'm going to get up and walk away, once I do you won't bully anyone else...Do I make myself clear?"
They sat there frightened on what she might do to them as she smiled while her aura dims down before she gets up skipping back to her seat.
Cardin was the first to snap out of it and decided to charge at her. "You Bitch!" He shouted while trying to grab her with his unbroken hand only for Amethyst to jump up putting him into an arm lock breaking it in the process making him shout in pain.
Amethyst stood up straight looking down at him quite pleased by his injured form before seeing the looks her table gave her. "...What? Did I do something wrong?"
Sapphire looks at her then at the injured Cardin. "Yes...you forgot to break his legs..."
Amethyst looks back at him and his legs are in fact in workable condition. "... You're right, care to help me..?" She said still in monotone.
"Eh, why not."
They both walked towards him as the screen fades into black.
