Chapter 11
Afternoon combat class was in session and the current match was Dominic against Sapphire. Though Ms. Goodwitch attested to this, she eventually allowed the two teammates to battle one another
After acquiring their weapons, the two boys step out onto the stage with everyone looking down at them from their seats
Dante: C'mon Sapphire! Punch him in his smug face!
Glynda: Another outburst from you Mister Sparda and I will have you in detention.
Obito: Haha!
Glynda types on her data pad and the names and faces of Sapphire and Dominic appear on two separate screens and a timer appears above them and begins counting down
Sapphire: No hard feelings if you lose?
Dominic: Lose? You're out of your mind if you'd think I'd lose to someone like you.
Sapphire: Always with the smart remarks Dominic. But can you back them up with your skills?
Dominic: I can. Can you say the same?
Sapphire: Let's find out.
The timer hits zero and Sapphire goes in first by transforming his weapon into a curved short sword and speeding up to Dominic and swiping at him but Dominic parried the swing and smacked him with his hand
Sapphire: Ugh! Really?
Dominic closed his eyes and pointed upwards as a group of summoned swords rained down from above Sapphire but the young reaper was too agile for any of them to hit him but they had taken his focus off of Dominic, which gave him the chance to teleport behind Sapphire and push him away with a thrust from Yamato but Sapphire appeared behind Dominic and smacked him across the floor and appeared in front of him and kicked him up into the air and finished his combo by jumping over Dominic and transforming his weapon into an axe that he brings down onto Dominic's torso which sent him crashing into the ground breaking it
Sapphire: You're not taking this seriously Dominic. Come on, I want you to fight me like you fight with Dante.
Obito: Loudly?
Weiss: All the time?
Yang: With swearing?
Dominic:*sigh* As you wish..
Dominic puts his feet on the floor and picks himself up using only his leg muscles. He then puts Yamato's scabbard on his side and wields his katana with both hands
Dominic: Come on.
Sapphire speeds over to Dominic and when he got close to him he disappeared in a poof of black smoke only to appear again beside his opponent and slash him on the side of his torso. Grabbing Dominic by his ascot, Sapphire stomps his foot on the ground and creates a wall of ice behind him that he throws Dominic through.
Dominic stands back up and sheathed Yamato only for him to quickly unsheathe it and Sapphire dodges out of the way of one of Dominic's Judgment Cuts. Sapphire ran towards Dominic turning his weapon into a short sword.
The two trade blows with one another before they begun rapidly slashing at one another which created sparks with each time their blades hit one another. Dominic broke the deadlock with a vertical slash that hit Sapphire a few feet into the air and he sheathes Yamato to then attack him with Judgment cuts
Sapphire felt a slash across his torso and back which then turned to multiple strikes of pain shooting across his body from Dominic's rapid Judgement cuts.
Mercury: Hm.
Emerald: What?
Mercury:*short inhale* What the heck is his semblance?
Ruby:*turns* Oh we haven't figured that out yet but it's cool to watch him teleport and throw swords! He's like a samurai! Kyah!
Sapphire extended his hand to his side and created a sword out of ice and crossed it together with Rakshasa and he runs at Dominic and the two duel one another showing off their sword skills to everyone and each other
Everyone watches as they meet each of their blows with one of equal strength but neither of them seemed to be able to get a hit on the other
Ruby: This is so cool!
Dante: Come on Dom! Use your head!
While clashing their swords together, Dominic took his brothers words to heart and actually used his head to attack and head butted Sapphire in the face causing him to back off and hold his nose
Sapphire: Ow! What the hell is your forehead made of!?
Dominic: I get it from my father's side of the family. Among other things.
Sapphire: Ugh, whatever.
Sapphire moves in with a heavy dual handed slash that Dominic blocks and the two boys struggle to overpower one another to the point where their auras started to radiate from their bodies l. Sapphire's being a solid aqua blue while Dominic's was mainly black with a blue outline to it.
The boys push themselves away from each other and sent an energy slash at each other that when they collide, destroys a section of the stadium but nothing that wouldn't be too hard to fix
Dominic then appears over Sapphire and he brings his sword down on him only for Sapphire to teleport above Dominic and do the same and vice versa until Sapphire thrusts his weapon, now a glaive, into his teammates gut which sends Dominic into a wall
Dominic: Urgh! Is that all?
Sapphire: As a matter of fact..
Sapphire twists his weapon to the side and the blade starts to flow with energy that he then fires as a projectile at Dominic that he swats away with his sword. Dominic then throws Yamato at Sapphire and he parries it and sends it flying upwards only for Dominic to teleport to his sword and bring it down on Sapphire hard knocking his aura down a bit and sending him flying back a few feet
Dominic then flies in with a kick to the chest and he uses Sapphire as ground to jump off of and sends three swords at him that create a small cloud of dust when they impact
Sapphire teleports below Dominic and brings his sword up to slash him but Dominic brought Yamato down to block it but Sapphire knocks his sword out of his hands.
He then moves in closer and starts slashing at Dominic bringing his aura down lower than his. Sapphire then goes in for a finishing blow but Dominic backflips away from him. He then jumps forward into a spinning kick which went to him doing a handstand and then start spinning while using his legs to attack Sapphire and he uses his summoned swords with his attacks by creating a circle around him of his swords. Hit for hit, Sapphire blocks Dominic's attacks but he was getting pushed towards a wall by him.
Sapphire:~I have to get him to use that power he used back then!~
Sapphire brings his hands to his chest and shouts, exploding his aura outwards knocking Dominic away from him and the blue clad twin lands right besides his sword and he picks it back up and fixes himself and rolls his neck around
Dominic: Ah. That was a nice trick. I dare say, you might be one of the few people who can get me to feel like this. My heart's racing in my chest like with Dante but....differently.
Sapphire: So you're finally acknowledging someone's skill other than your own.
Dominic: Yes. You should feel honored.
In the crowd above, Mercury makes a jerking motion with his hand that Emerald nods and laughs at
Dominic: Now I can finally reveal my true power to you Sapphire.
Dominic holds out Yamato in front of him and his aura spiked making dust swirl around him which makes Sapphire get in a defensive stance
Dominic:*smirk* You will not forget my power!
For an instant, Sapphire saw it, Sapphire saw what Dominic truly was. Something that he had suspected ever since their initiation on the bridge. Something that confirmed his suspicions once and for all. He saw the devil inside of Dominic as clear as day. Dominic moved across the arena in such speeds that nobody could see him but Sapphire and he watched as Dominic went closer to him and swing his blade right through him. He sees Dominic then jump back to his original position and go back into his....human facade and when the world sped up to normal speed again, he watched Dominic put Yamato back in its sheathe followed up by a sharp pain that overtook his body and completely shattered his aura causing him to fall to the ground defeated
Glynda: And that's the match.
Glynda walked up typing away at her data pad
Sapphire:*cough* I was right.....what you are...is-
Glynda: The winner of this match Mr. Wave. Your skills are improving Mister Sparda. You can assure a spot in the tournament if you keep it up.
Dominic:*nods and bows* You're too kind professor.
Dominic looks down to Sapphire and gave him a smile that told him that he knew he saw him in his alter ego but that no one would believe him if he told anyone
Sapphire:*stands* ......
Dominic: No hard feelings...right?
Sapphire: Whatever..
Sapphire goes back up to the seating area and sits beside Dante and looks at him from the corner of his eye before looking at Glynda and Dominic
Glynda: Now, I know that this will be a tough act to follow. But we have time for one more sparring match. Any volunteers?
The professor scans the room and her eyes meet Blake who had her eyes on a book rather than her class
Glynda: Miss Belladonna?
Blake immediately shuts her book and sits up straight to meet Glynda's gaze
Glynda: You've been rather docile these past few classes. Maybe you should-
Dominic: May I interject?
Glynda: Huh? Oh. Yes, Mister Sparda?
Dominic: May I choose an opponent since I won the last match?
Glynda: I thought you would want to rest after your battle with Sapphire.
Dominic: Oh yes it was a good warm up but now I think I want to at least give one more performance to everyone.
Obito:*stands* Then I wanna be your final act!
Glynda: Mister Uchiha, do you think it wise to speak when not called upon?
Dominic: Sure.
Ms. Goodwitch looks at Dominic and sighs, fixing her glasses
Glynda: Very well.
Obito: Yes!
Obito runs out of the classroom and goes to the locker room to grab his ninja tools and rushes back to the arena with a smile spread across his face
Glynda: Combatants take your places.
Obito and Dominic stand a few feet apart from one another; Obito putting two fingers up near his face while smiling
Dominic: What's that?
Obito: It's to show that I'm ready!
Dominic looks down at his hand and puts it in the same position Obito had his in
Dante, who was waving a small flag with Obito's face on it, cheered for his team
Dante: Let's see some hustle Obito! Wooh!!
Ruby: Do your best!
Obito looks up at Ruby and rubs the back of his head blushing and Dominic takes notice of it and speaks up
Dominic: Hm. I'll try to make you look good.
Obito: Huh!*blush* I-I'm just a little stage frightened!
Dominic: Yes of course. How silly of me~
Glynda: Are the combatants ready?
Dominic: Yes.
Obito: Yeah!
Glynda: Then....begin!
The two rush at each other and begin fighting one another but since Obito was shorter than Dominic, he had to adjust his punches and kicks while Obito had to mostly rely on body blows or jump kicks
Yang: Why isn't Dom using his sword?
Weiss: Maybe he wants it to be a fair fight.
Sapphire: A fair fight. Tch! There's nothing fair about what he is.
Dante: Are you still salty you lost? Lighten up. You'll never get a date for the dance with that attitude.
Sapphire turns and glares daggers at Dante while their teammates fight hand to hand.
Obito leaped into the air and pulls a kunai from his side and attacks Dominic with it. The two traded blows with Dominic having to deal with the small stature of Obito climbing around his body.
Dominic: Ah! Hahaha!! Stop! You're tickling me!
Obito puts Dominic in a headlock and starts to squeeze on his neck with his arms trying to choke him out
Obito:*grunts*
Dominic: Y...You're gonna have to go harder than that if you want me to feel anything!
Obito: Eh!?
Dominic smirks and uses Obito's confusion to grab him and throw him off of his back and away from him tumbling across the floor. Getting up from his tumble, Obito takes out another kunai and spun them in his hands which glow a solid orange light that coats the blades
Mercury and Emerald lean forward, intrigued by Obito's use of his semblance
Obito throws one kunai that Dominic sidestepped but before it passed him, the kunai began to radiate with light and it exploded like a grenade next to Dominic
Obito: Heh!
Obito ran towards the cloud of smoke knowing fully that Dominic wasn't affected by the explosion. Two swords shot out from the smoke cloud and had Obito dodge to the left. As he does so, Dominic flew out of the smoke and landed in front of Obito to deliver a hard uppercut to his jaw that sent the boy flying back
In the air, Obito flips and uses his momentum to throw more flaming kunai at Dominic
Dominic: You'll have to come up with a newer plan of attack Obito!
Dominic dashes towards the kunai and teleports through them and makes his way to Obito but the Uchiha smiled and pulled his arms back and the kunai suddenly turned around and flew around Dominic and cut him across his body and arms leaving orange scratch marks on him
Obito: Heh...bang~!
Dominic looked at Obito but then saw he was glowing orange and looked down at the scratches on his body that were glowing brighter and brighter until they exploded causing the crowd to gasp in disbelief at Obito blowing up Dominic
Emerald: That pipsqueak didn't actually..
Ruby: Give him a second...~!
Once the smoke clears, everyone sitting down saw that Dominic was fine with only his coat being slightly singed
Dominic: Impressive.
Obito: Well since you only train with Dante, Sapphire and I have been training with each other for a while now. Thanks teach! These strings were perfect!
Sapphire:*thumbs up*
Dominic: So are rope tricks all he taught you?
Obito, spinning around the kunai on the strings, smirks and spins around and throws a wheel of flames at Dominic that make him draw Yamato and block it while he was being pushed back by the attack
Dominic:~What am I doing? Am I.....smiling? No. It's just an act Dominic. This is all it is. Just an act.~
Dominic grunts and roars as he slices the flame wheel in two, dispersing it. Dominic looks up to see Obito above him with flaming kunai dancing around him
With a single QuickDraw, Dominic severs the strings of Obito's weapons leaving him defenseless
Obito: Huh?
With his sudden loss of focus, the kunai lose their glow and Obito starts panicking as he falls through the air
Obito: AAAAAAAH!!!
The ground grew closer and closer and Obito closed his eyes and waited for pain to hit him but he felt someone catch him by his jacket and he opens his eyes and sees Dominic holding him up with one hand
Dominic: It's raining children.
Obito: Uh...hehe..please don't break my butt.
Dominic: Hm....okay.
Obito: Yeah?
Dominic:*smile* No.
Dominic tosses Obito up and hits him with a roundhouse kick in the stomach that sends Obito rolling across the floor
Obito:*groan* Ow..
Obito turns over and sees Dominic standing over him with Yamato pointed at his neck making him nervous at the deadly feelings he's getting from the sword
Obito: Okay...I forfeit. I give up.
Dominic hums and sheathes his sword and extends a hand down to Obito which he takes and he was brought up to his feet.
Glynda walks up to the two smiling and types something on her data pad
Glynda: I must say mister Uchiha I am impressed with your usage of your semblance. And that the two of you have become closer as comrades.
Dominic: With him? No I just tolerate him a little more than the rest of the idiots on my team.
Obito: Oh go brood on the roof ya emo!
Dominic: I'm not emo! I think I'm more of a goth than an emo.
Obito: You're an idiot.
Glynda: Enough!
The bell sounds signaling the end of class and people get up and begin to leave
Glynda: Please leave before I make you scrub my office with your tongues.
Obito: She can't make us do that. Can she?
Glynda: Would you like to find out!
Obito grabs Dominic's sleeve and the two run away from Glynda with her sighing and fixing her glasses
Glynda: The dance is this weekend children but you will have your first missions on Monday. I will not accept any excuses.
Everyone walks outside and takes in a quick breath of fresh air
Dante: Gotta say Obito. Those moves you put on Dom were stylish as heck!
Obito: Ah well...it was nothing really!
Ruby: Obito!
Team ODDS turn's around to see team RWBY walking up to them with Ruby waving at them
Obito: Ruby!*blush* H-how..how are you?
Ruby: I'm great! You were so cool out there!
Obito: I was?
Ruby: Yeah! With your flames and knives going woosh! Shwing! Whacha!!
Obito:*giggles* Uh yeah it's all thanks to Sapphire. He's been training me to use my semblance more effectively.
Sapphire: You better remember me when you become the greatest huntsman ever ya little twerp.
Obito: I'm still growing you jerk!!
Ruby: It's okay Obito! All you have to do is drink milk and you'll grow!
Obito: Blech! Milk!
Weiss: You don't like milk? What kind of person doesn't enjoy milk!
Obito: It's disgusting!
Dante: With that attitude, you're gonna be the size of a bean forever.
Obito: A BEAN!?
Dante: Yeah! A bean.
Yang: Don't sweat it kid! That means you'll be fun size forever!
Obito: Yeah- FUN SIZ!!?
Everyone laughs at Obito going red with embarrassment from being made fun of his height except for Blake who was deep into the pages of a book she had with her, her eyes have dark bags underneath them having been awake for days
Dominic:*closes his eyes*
Emerald: You seem to associate yourself with some...fun individuals.
Dominic: Not another word Emerald.
Mercury: Oh come on, you and your bestie having a good old gas sparring match was great to watch!
Dominic grab's Mercury by his shirt and takes him away from anyone that could see them and once out of sight, he lifts him up with one arm and pins him to the wall
Dominic: I'm getting real tired of your shit boy. Killing you would mean nothing to either of our plans so if you value your pathetic life, I suggest you hold your tongue or else I tear it from your mouth. Got it?
Mercury:*grunt* Yeah...
Dominic drop's Mercury and turns around to walk away but stops himself to say some parting words
Dominic: One more thing:
Dominic punches Mercury in the face and the grey clothed boy hits the wall with a hard thud
Dominic: That child isn't my friend. None of these idiots are.
Dominic leaves Mercury on the floor and bumps past Emerald to rejoin his teammates just in time for Sun to get rejected by Blake after he asked her to the dance
Blake: I thought you of all people would understand that.
Blake walks past everyone leaving them in a somber mood
Dominic: Did I miss something?
Sun: Uh yeah...just...something stupid. I'm gonna go.
Sun walks away from the group and they all look at each other
Sapphire: Ouch.
Dante: You guys should talk to her. Maybe you can get her to lay off the research for a while?
Ruby: We'll try our best. Bye guys...
Obito: Ruby, wait!
Obito goes up to Ruby who looks at him slightly confused
Ruby: Yeah?
Obito: I...well I....I....I ehh...I...I wanted to....*gulp* oh uh...just to wish you luck with Blake! Hehe~
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Ruby: Uh...thanks?
Ruby leaves with her team while Obito smacks himself for his failure to tell her what he wanted to say
Sapphire: Swing and a miss.
Dante: Dude I haven't seen someone fumble a bag like that ever since I wore black on red!
Obito: I got nervous! She's just so cute and pretty! And I get all hot when she's around!
Dante: Sounds like the love bug bit him a little too hard.
Sapphire: Oh yeah.
Obito: What do I do!? I can't become the greatest huntsman ever if I can't ask out a girl!!
Dante: Aight let me lay it down for ya slick.
Sapphire: Please don't say that again.
Dante wraps an arm around Obito and grins as he tells him how to pick up girls
Dante: You see girls are like pizza: Hot, delicious, and smell amazing!
Sapphire: This is painful to watch.
Dominic: Agreed.
Dante: You gotta lay down your feelings like you're rolling down dough. And then you gotta open that oven in your chest and let her in. Then when she's all warmed up by your feelings, you take her out and tada! Girlfriend!
Sapphire: Dante have you ever had a real relationship with a woman before?
Dante: No why?
Sapphire:*facepalm*
Obito: Uhh..thanks Dante but maybe I should take advice from someone with experience in dating.
Obito turns and looks at Dominic who pointed at himself and looked around if he meant someone else
Obito: Dom you have a girlfriend. How did you get her to go out with you?
Dominic: Uh..! Well you see it was like....it's....it's a funny story....I uh....she....I just...um....you see when.....
Sapphire: Did she ask you out first?
Dominic: Yes! That's it! That's the story that happened!
Dante: Damn. I guess we know who wears the pants in the relationship. Now have you and her...ya know?
Dominic: Ya know?
Obito: What's ya know?
Dante: It's when two people-
Sapphire: Dante!
Dante: What! He's gonna learn someday!
Sapphire: He's fifteen! And he's trying to ask a girl out not...ya know with her!
Dominic: I'm still confused on what you two are saying. What the hell is "ya know"?
Obito: Yeah!
Dante: When you're older.
Obito: Darn!
Dominic: We're the same age Dante.
Timeskip—
Dominic was cleaning the kitchen tables after he had made everyone spaghetti for dinner since it was his turn to cook for the team. His coat was hanging on a chair in the dining room
Obito:*walks in*
Dominic: Obito.
Obito: Hey Dom. Just gonna wash my dish. I gotta say that was good~!
Dominic: Thank you.
Obito: Hey did Sapphire seem a little bit on edge after your match?
Dominic: He's just a sore loser.
Sapphire turns his body around on the couch and looks at Dominic through the hallway
Sapphire: The fuck this kid just say?
Obito: Well anyways, I think maybe tomorrow I'll ask out Ruby to the dance.
Dominic: Good luck on your endeavors then.
Obito: Actually....I was wonder if you could help me and-
Suddenly Dominic's scroll began to ring and he picks it up and sees that Cinder was calling him and he sighs softly
Dominic: Apologies, but I have to do something.
Obito: Oh. R-right...see ya.
Dominic pats Obito on the shoulder and walks out of the kitchen and goes for the door
Sapphire: And where are you going?
Dominic: Out. I need to take care of something.
Sapphire: Not this time.
Dante: Oh here we go.
Dominic: Do you have a problem with me?
Sapphire: Yes. With who and what you are. I knew you had something to hide and today you confirmed my suspicions.
Dominic: I don't have time for this.
Dominic turns and reaches for the doorknob but it was suddenly covered by a sheet of ice. Turning around, Dominic sees Sapphire's eyes were glowing light blue and a trail of ice was coming from his foot that led to the door
Dominic: Are we really going to do this now?
Sapphire: We will if you don't come clean.
Dominic: I have nothing to hide Sapphire. I'm just an ordinary human.
Sapphire: You slay demons, you either don't have a semblance or you have multiple, and no normal human can regenerate. Even with a semblance that can do that.
Dominic: What can I say? It's in my family to be....odd?
Dominic chuckles at his little joke but Sapphire furrows his brow and points a lance made of ice at Dominic's face
Sapphire: Someone will find out eventually.
Dominic: Find out what? We have nothing to hide. Right Dante?
Sapphire turns around to Dante who was sitting down on the couch in their room
Dante: Nope!
Dante laughs at Sapphire and his paranoia over them being something inhuman. It was ridiculous. Right?
Dante: We're just human. Nothing more, nothing less. Our lives are just a little crazy that's all.
Sapphire: I want to believe you. But after what I saw, I know you're lying to me. To all of us. Why?
Dominic: Because nobody would believe it. Do you know how ridiculous it sounds? If you told anyone that we're from evil descent, they'd look at you like you were insane. We have no reason to tell anyone anything and you have no reason for knowing. Now put a sock in it and leave me alone Sapphire. You're making me late.
They stay there staring at each other for a few seconds until Sapphire sighs and dissipates the ice on the door and pulls his hand back letting the ice lance turn into mist
Sapphire: It's only a matter of time before you crack.
Dominic: Whatever.
Dominic opens the door and walks out, closing the door behind him
Sapphire: .....
Dante: Hey.
Sapphire:*turns*
Dante: Stop trying to find out something you shouldn't be looking for. Our origins should stay buried. For your sakes.
Dominic walks down the hall and passes team RWBY's dorm as their door opens and Blake walks out of the room
Blake: Dominic?
Dominic: Evening.
Blake: What are you doing out so late?
Dominic: The usual.
Blake: Oh, right. Your girlfriend.
Dominic:*nod* And you?
Blake: The library..
Blake rubs her tired eyes as she speaks to Dominic
Dominic: I assume your team tried to convince you to halt your research for a time?
Blake: Yes. They just don't get it. It's my people planning something horrible with Torchwick and I can't rest until I found out what it is.
Dominic: I can relate to your predicament.
Blake: How...?
Dominic: I too am searching for answers to a question I've had for a very long time. Difference between us is; my goal means the world to me Blake. And I'm going to achieve it soon. So very soon.
Blake: What is it you're after?
Dominic: A piece of my family's history. Something so important from an age long ago lost to time. I can't really go into detail but when you get the chance, read on a few legends about this world's history with the other.
Blake: Other?
Dominic: Yes. There was more than humans and Faunus in this world millennia ago Blake. You just need to know what to look for.
Blake's eyes travel down from Dominic's face to the amulet hanging from his neck. The red gem reflects in her golden eyes almost like she was hypnotized by it
Dominic: By the way,
Blake: Huh?
Dominic: Dante wouldn't say this to you with anyone listening so don't tell him I said this but, he worries about you.
Blake: I can worry about myself after I find out what Torchwick and the White Fang are planning.
Dominic: Yes yes but I think his worries come from another place. His heart.
Blake: His....heart?
Dominic: Yes. Dante fancies you if you understand what I mean.
Blake's face grew a clear shade of red on it from what Dominic had told her
Blake: Wh-what! No that's not...he doesn't...why?
Dominic: I don't know. But if I were to guess, I'd say it's because you have a fire inside of you that our mother had. Yes I've seen it too. Your determination to do what is right. A good soul is something so rare in this world Blake.
Blake: I'm not a good soul....the things I did for the White Fang....I'll regret forever.
Dominic: And that's why you're a good soul Blake. Regret. You regret the bad things you've done in the past. That's what makes you good. Dante and everyone can see that especially now. That's why his heart is drawn to you. Your burning soul of good.
Blake: I don't-
Dominic: Give him a chance. He's a good guy. A little dumb but hey, you can probably whip him into something decent. Besides, he already bought a suit. It would be a shame for it to go to waste. Think about it. Farewell!
Dominic waves at Blake and continues walking down the hall and once he turns the corner he smiles to himself
Dominic: ~That should keep her out of our hair for a bit. Foolish girl. She has no idea what's going on~
Blake: Dante.....likes me?
Inside of Cinder and her groups dorm, they sat and waited for Dominic to arrive slowly getting annoyed at his tardiness
Mercury: Guy worries about the plan being messed up, and he doesn't show up? Remind me why we're even letting him in on this?
Cinder: Because unlike you two, he can get things done without fault.
Mercury:*mutter* Says the one who goes gaga when he's in the room...
Cinder: What was that?
Mercury: N-nothing!
A knock at their door drags Cinders attention from Mercury and she goes over to the door and slowly opens it
Dominic: May I enter?
Cinder smiles and stands in front of Dominic in the doorway looking at him without his coat on. His arms displayed for all to see and she was loving every second of it
Cinder: My my~ It must be Christmas with the gift you've just given my thoughts for tonight~
Mercury gags and covers his ears to save his sanity from Cinders flirting
Dominic: Can you just let me in?
Cinder:*scoffs* You're no fun.
Dominic: And you're annoying me.
Dominic walks inside the dorm passing Emerald who was sitting on a bed and Mercury who was on the floor reading a comic
Cinder: Now that you're here, we can get started.
Mercury: Finally!
Cinder: Emerald.
Emerald: I've gotten a list of students we should keep an eye on. Most of them you or Dominic-ahem..Vergil could easily eliminate.
Dominic: Any newer additions?
Emerald: Pyrrha Nikos.
Cinder: Ah, the invincible girl.
Mercury: She's smart. But I wouldn't say invincible.
Cinder: Do tell~
Dominic: Her semblance is polarity. She uses it in very short instances during combat so it seems like she's untouchable.
Emerald: She doesn't broadcast her powers and so it puts her opponents at a disadvantage.
Cinder: Hmm, people assume she's dated for victory when she's really taken fate into her own hands. Interesting.
Cinder smiles, already coming up with a devious plan for Pyrrha
Cinder: Add her to the list.
Mercury: She should be no problem for you.
Dominic: Winning the fight is not about defeating them. It's about showing that whatever power they have will never compare to your own. Crush their dreams of victory underneath your boots. And watch as they beg for mercy.
Cinder walks up to Dominic and leans over to him, resting her head on his shoulder and looking into his eyes
Cinder: And we will, in time.
Mercury:*sigh* I hate waiting
Cinder: Don't worry Mercury, we have a fun weekend ahead of us. Don't we my dear?
Dominic: Yes. It'll be quite the bash before this world knows true power. And to fear it.
Cinder: You have such a way with words my love~
Mercury: Can you guys not do that while I'm here?
Emerald: What? Sad you can't get any?
Mercury: No! I....shut up!
Cinder: Hm. After you have completed your goal, what next?
Dominic: I continue my life as I see fit. What I'm after will make this journey of mine all worth it.
Cinder: Hm~ And I will be by your side every step of the way~
Cinder grabs Dominic's hand and places it on her cheek. The two lock eyes with each other and they begin to move in closer but their moment was cut short by Mercury scoffing
Mercury: Come on. Aren't you guys taking this act a little too seriously? Nobody you know is here dude. Stop acting like you actually like her.
Dominic: Mercury....I've said this to you before. Don't speak out of term, for there will be consequences.
Mercury: Like what?
Dominic stares intently at Mercury which creeped him out slightly as he just stood there looking at him like a statue
Mercury: What? You see something you like? Well sorry pal but I don't swing that wa-
A deep pain shot through Mercury and he holds his head and falls to his knees. He tries to scream but the pain was so great that the only thing he could do was sit there and stay quiet at his mind felt like it was being squeezed by a giant hand
Mercury: A-ah.....a...aah....a....aa-ah.....a....
Emerald gripped the sheets of the bed she was sitting on tightly, wanting to step in but afraid of what will happen to her or even Mercury if she does so.
Dominic pulls away from Cinder and walks over to Mercy, kneeling down so he was just above eye level with him
Dominic: I said there would be consequences to come for your mouth Mercury. You may have a reason to fear Cinder but it doesn't seem you have one to fear me. Let this moment be it. Let this pain remind you never to speak freely in my presence ever again.
Mercury: A....aa...a-ah..
Dominic smiles and stands up, going back to Cinder and watch Mercury grovel on the floor for a few more seconds until the pain goes away
Mercury:*panting*
Dominic: There. Isn't this better Cinder? Peace and quiet?
Cinder: Yes it is~ Mercury, pick yourself off the floor. You're a person not a dog.
Dominic: Clean yourself up fool and get out of my sight.
Emerald helps Mercury up and leaves the room with him leaving Cinder and Dominic in the room by themselves
Cinder: Now that they're away, we can finally get down to business~
Dominic: What?
Cinder pushes Dominic down onto her bed and gets on top of him smirking. She undoes his ascot and throws it to the side
Cinder: We have so little time~ But I can make it work~
Dominic: I....need an adult.
Cinder: I am an adult~
Timeskip—
Dominic sneaks into his dorm at the very early hours of the morning. He closes the door and leans up against it and sighs, wiping his forehead of some sweat
Dominic: I'm alive...
The light of a lamp suddenly turns on and Dominic goes on the defensive and gets in a fighting stance with four summoned swords at his side
Sapphire: And where have you been?
Dominic: Oh it's you. Wait, were you waiting in the dark for me?
Sapphire: That's not important right now.
Dominic: It kind of is?
Sapphire got up from the chair he was sitting on and got up close to Dominic and inspected him. He took note of his vest being wrinkled and his hair was a mess too. He then throws off Dominic's ascot revealing multiple marks that were on his neck
Sapphire: Oh...my...gods. Did you..?
Dominic: What I do with my significant other is none of your business.
Sapphire: Oh my goodness Dominic! You actually slept with her!
Dominic: It wasn't really sleeping. It was more of-
Sapphire: You know what I mean! Did you at least use protection?
Dominic: Protection? What like armor? Why would I need that?
Sapphire: You ducking dolt. Protection means a condom!
Dominic: What's that?
Sapphire: Uh!! You mean you.....did you at least pull out!?
Dominic: Why would I need to do that?
Sapphire puts his hands together and starts contemplating the choices in his life that had led him to this moment in time
Dominic: Look I don't know what...this is. But I'm really sleepy so I'm gonna go to bed, okay?
Dominic shuts off the lamp and leaves Sapphire to his thoughts and climbs into his bed
Sapphire:~This is the guy who beat me. Who's had so much confidence in his abilities and intelligence over us....and he doesn't know anything about safe sex....this kid is gonna ruin his life before he reaches twenty....and I get to watch it all happen....maybe my life isn't so bad after all~
