Chapter 54: RWBY Ice Queendom (2)
~Jack POV~
Hmm…
After yesterday's events that happened and explaining to my worrying teammates about the White Fang fight and helping look for Blake, they seemed to accept the info that happened with me withholding almost dying.
The worst thing to happen in my life.
After that, we all went to class usual again going through the usual listening and doing homework like normal students.
Strange that Team RWBY wasn't around for class today but then again they could've gotten a day off to confess what happen at the docks to Ozpin or the authorities but then again it is strange I haven't seen them today.
Well, that's not my concern since they must be up to something.
As for the rewards I got I finally decided to choose which box I want.
The Blessed Chest Box.
When it was later in for class, I choose the Blessed Chest Box to see what item I can get when no one was looking.
And blind spots from Ozpin cameras as well just to be sure.
[Ding!]
[You have chosen the Blessed Chest Box!]
Next, I see the Blessed Chest Box appear before me in a form of a small box. I frown hoping it would be inside my <Deep Pockets> instead.
Opening up I raised an eyebrow at the item I just got I began to open it as shining particles appeared making the box disappear, I soon see a piece of clothing.
Ok…
So, I get clothing I better hope it's something useful time to use my <Observe> skill to see what I got.
<Observe>.

Item: Coat of Ice
Description: This coat has been specially made to protect the user from all forms of Ice Attacks magic, temperatures, or aura otherwise. This was made by the first Generation of Humanity to deal with Ice Elementals in the past.
-Cold temperature immunity from harsh ice environments.
-All Ice related attacks are 100% negated.
----
My eyes were blank seeing this…
I…
What am I going to use this for?!
I mean it could be useful heading towards Atlas or Mantle because this would work well but everywhere else…
How is this so supposed to be blessed?!
I mean the 100% negation to ice attacks are a good welcome but how exactly no how often will I go against an ice user except for being a hard counter to Weiss and the Schnee's not exactly a lot of ways to see myself using this often?
Maybe when I explore the Solitas continent perhaps?
"Sigh."
Sighing out my breath I began to adjust my stats as I have given some thought to which one's I would go for.
I made sure to even my stats distribution for all of my stats but I put a bit more on my STR because that's the one I need to boost first after that INT next.
For now, I should focus a bit more on my STR stats the reason why is because it also increases my muscles strength but most importantly so that I can get out of some sticky situation like say I'm captured some extra strength to bend or break metal or steel would be really nice to have.
At least that's one of the reasons now time to check on the stats… and there!
Status.

Nice.
Smirking at this I glanced at the skills I got from the explosion as I was going to try and experiment with my <Fusion> skill as it has been leveling up.
Any skills I copy down I get Exp for it and to my <Fusion> since there were copied down but only in small progression.
Let's see…
How about these elemental resistances I bet I can create a good skill to fuse with them.
<Fusion>.
[-Choose the following Skills to Fuse into a new one-]
Ok then…
[-Fire Resistance-]
[-Water Resistance-]
[-Lightening Resistance-]
[-Earth Resistance-]
[-Wind Resistance-]
[-If the following -Fire Resistance-, -Water Resistance-, -Lightening Resistance-, -Earth Resistance- and -Wind Resistance- fused result in <Elemental Resistance>-]
[-Notice if fuse you lose the materials used to fuse-]
Yes.
Begin the fusion!
[Ding!]
[Using the materials of -Fire Resistance-, -Water Resistance-, -Lightening Resistance-, -Earth Resistance- and -Wind Resistance- will begin fusion!]
[<Fusion> LEVEL UP!]x4
Whoa, four level-ups from this!
[Fusion Complete!]
[Skills <Fire Resistance>, <Water Resistance>, <Lightening Resistance>, <Earth Resistance>, and <Wind Resistance> have been lost.]

Alright!
My eyes widen at this as I began to check my new skill as I checked my Skill List.
<Elemental Resistance>.

----
Wait this is only at 10% at level one?
Oh, I'm really going to like leveling this up fast… once I expose myself to explosions of elements.
"Hey, Jack!"
My thoughts were interrupted as I see Sun coming along with his group he called out to me as he spoke, "Glad to see you ok after yesterday. Come on I have to let you meet my Team. Team leaders showing off to their teams!"
Smirking a bit I nodded my head as I began to stand up while I stretch my body out I responded to Sun with a grin plastered on my face, "Sure. I'll give a call to my teammates for us to meet. And I'll show you who has the best team."
Sun grins at this playfully he places a thumb on his chest being confident since we have time during classes, "Heh! I'll show you bro that I have the best team that you wish you could have!"
Oh, it's on Wukong!

~Third POV~
Elsewhere inside the Beacon Academy a private room similarly used to help save Jack from the nightmare was used once more with Glynda, Ozpin, Shion, Yang, and Blake glancing at the center of the room Ruby was sleeping connected to Weiss's dream.
The members held a worrying expression as they didn't expect their friend to be in a nightmare like with Jack.
Answering a phone on Shion equipment he began to answer the call as they heard from Ruby in the dream world of Weiss, "Understood, Professor. All right, I'd better keep moving."
*Click*
Putting down the phone Shion glanced at Ozpin with a neutral expression on his face about the situation, "She's trapped more deeply than I expected. This may prove troublesome."
"Hmm…"
Ozpin hums to himself thinking of the situation as Yang began to ask Shion a question about helping Weiss, "Um… Shion what if we all fight the Grimm together like how Team JNPR did with Jack?"
"It's not time yet."
That was Shion's reply as he began to continue explaining to Blake and Yang about the situation at hand, "The Nightmare has spent more time burrowing into Weiss's heart, and has hidden itself. We have to find it within the dreams first."
Blake then began to feel ashamed of herself for not noticing the signs earlier as she talked to herself, "I can't believe I didn't even notice. I've been only thinking about myself."
Yang sighs to herself as she places her hand over her head closing her eyes as she berated herself for being a bad teammate, "Jeez, I'm the one who needs to think about what being a good teammate means."
That was when Ozpin interrupted Yang before they could get depressed as he spoke to them calmly, "Stop blaming yourselves. Instead, focus on your dangerous and terrifying opponent, the Grimm. Now is when the time Weiss needs her loyal friends. She needs your help."
They nodded as Glynda looked towards Weiss taking a step forward explaining how they can't help Weiss out of this, "If we tried to enter her dreams we would be rejected. You are the one Weiss believes in. For now, prepare for battle."
"Okay."
"We'll be the ones to save Weiss."
"It isn't too late right?"
"Yeah."
/////
In the Dream Scape of Weiss, a dystopian version of Atlas city was formed as Ruby began to search for a way inside the inner castle of Atlas city as she tried to find the right way through various means.
When Ruby arrived, she noticed that her appearance and weapon have changed entirely when she entered the dream world but that didn't dissuade her to try to find a way to Weiss in the dreamscape.
Of course, Ruby used the coins to mark them in place in case she needed to return throughout the outside gate of Atlas and the inside of it as well.
Ruby witnessed the White Fang with Grimm parts shown as monsters in Weiss's view attacking and managing to destroy the Train of Dust as Ruby followed the path to the city version of Weiss Atlas.
Once she joined the workforce but soon became too bored.
Listening to Jacques Schnee's voice heard throughout the land about work ethic and glory to humanity for its workers that Weiss views but are more akin to slaves to the system.
Ruby uses the coins to create a map of the dreamscape as well as met Ren, Nora, and Jack meowing inside a cage along with finding different versions of Kleins inside Weiss's head.
Ruby began to talk with Shion about the dreams she calls them off it was time for her to investigate more of the area, she takes the stairways and alleys she talked to herself, "I think it's this way. Huh?"
That was when Ruby noticed on the walls were pictures of her more specifically bounties of her, but she wasn't alone in this.
She took closer to another bounty next to hers she immediately recognized the person on there with an evil look on his face as Ruby took the bounty with some shock, "Wanted Jack Nights leader of the Rebel faction of haters wanting to dethrone the Imperial Empire! Wow… Weiss really has some issues with Jack."
"Surround her! Surround her!"
"Ah…!"
At that moment Ruby was then surrounded by Atlas robots caught off guard and a robot angry Klein he spoke out directly, "A dummy wandering around the on her own! You will return with me to the tower!"
Ruby listening in was surprised to hear she spoke out confused by the turns of events, "Return to the… tower?"
*Thump*
*Thump*
*Thump*
That was Ruby heard sounds of someone in heels coming towards her the person slowly reveals herself.
This person is identical to the real Weiss except she lacks a scar on her left eye, wears her ponytail center, and has paler skin. She wears an Atlas Military uniform that consists of a skin-fitted short sleeveless white dress that fastens on the right side, with a hexagonal cut out on the bust alongside several black straps.
She has a white short cape that is attached to the dress. She also wears a grey mesh top underneath that has a black snowflake-styled design visible through the dress' cutout and the mesh sleeves are mostly covered with white sleeves that have a black strap on the trim.
Weiss also sports a flowing white trench coat cape decorated with various black thorn-like and snowflake designs which she wears draped over her shoulders, light gray tights, and white high-heel pumps. In addition, she carries around sky blue sunglasses and wears a white kepi with a black visor on her head.
Negative Weiss.
It soon became apparent to Ruby as she recalls with Jack about Team JNPR's time to save him to call this person as she holds her ground, 'So… that's Weiss – no. This should be Weiss's twisted version of herself thanks to the Nightmare… Negative Weiss…'
