Chapter 57: RWBY Ice Queendom (5)
~Jack POV~
I watch from the sidelines here I could only support Team R(W)BY from the real world since I can't do anything about this.
[<Aura Amp> LEVEL UP!]
And I get to train my <Aura Amp> skill in the process as I see Shion begin to lay down on his web-made hammock as he spoke to me, "No worries boy. Your friends will be good so long as they save Weiss. Your help would be useful so remain calm."
While Shion lay down on his hammock I calmed my nerves. I try to breathe in and out as I talked to Shion, "Whew…. Thanks for the words of advice Shion…."
Shion nods at this as he returns to his hammock I can only remain here and be calm.
Honestly, though I never expected something like this to happen to the MC… well not exactly this bad though.
I know bad things will happen but to experience the same things I have from the Nightmare…
Like I said to them before, no one deserves to have their mind invaded like that.
It's an invasion of privacy.
Glancing around though seeing that Shion is sleeping or at least awake he spooked me as he spoke to me, "Jack. You can do what you want for now. I'll call you for a boost or give one of the members a boost of their Aura and Semblance."
Well…
He seems like too chill of a Hunter.
But since I have the chance…
<Fusion>.
[Ding!]
[Notice of Higher level Than the player!]
[Adjustments are modified…]
[-Fusion Conditions-
Description: Shion the Dream Hunter of Remnant as his main profession is to hunt down Grimm-like Parasites that invades the Hunter or Citizens' hearts by using his Semblance <Dream> to help them in need. You must be able to defeat Shion with 5 skills or less.]
Ok…
Not going to do that.
Glancing my eyes, I began to go toward Weiss and wonder what happen now that she was in this state.
<Fusion>.
[Ding!]
[Notice of Higher Level Then the player adjustments are modified…]
[Notice adjusts the requirements due to current circumstance…]
[-Fusion Conditions-
Description: Weiss Schnee is one of the main protagonists of RWBY. She is a Huntress, a student of Beacon Academy, and a heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. Her weapon of choice is a Multi-Action Dust Rapier (MADR) named Myrtenaster. The conditions are to save Weiss Schnee from the Nightmare Grimm with team R(W)BY.]
Hmm…
I see that I need to save Weiss Schnee to get one skill of hers…
Since I have nothing better to do than being a good person, I need time to motivate and train myself.
I began to do some exercise since I have nothing to do at the moment.
Better to do that morning daily quest if I want to have an edge or use it on stat points when the day is over.
For now, I could trust that team RWBY could do something about it.
Hmm…
Perhaps it's time I open my range a bit more with my aura.
Stopping my exercising for a bit I began to open the palm of my hand as I began to focus my Aura on it.
"Whew…"
Breathing calmly I began to think of a new skill I need for long range and something that could be powerful at the same time.
Wrapping my aura around – no emitting is the right word here.
Using my Skill <Aura Manipulation> I began to focus my aura more into a form of the ball –
*Splat*
Damn it…
I saw that my Aura taking shape is going to take some time to accomplish but if I work on this sooner at the very least, I will get a long-range attack at the ready.
<Telekinesis> also works but I need something with a little more… power into it something exploding would be preferable as well.
Guess I'm starting to work out on making Aura Constructs to be of any use.
Using <Expel Aura> I began to see if I can change the shapes of it to see if there are any changes with me using the skill or gaining it so I can create a ball of aura.
The only way to find out is to try.
/////
"Whew…"
"Man, that was tiring…"
Releasing the royal blue-like the color of aura began to expand myself as I felt the exhaustion of the soul as I felt all my AP drain but…
Focusing my aura to the max limit of my soul seeing the royal blue color of the soul began to warp and twist soon taking on a dome-like a shape covering me as I couldn't help but smirk seeing this.
[<Aura Manipulation> LEVEL UP!]
[You have created a skill!]
[Skill learned <Aura Constructs>!]
[A skill has been created through creating a ball, a new skill has been created!]
[Skill learned <Aura Ball>!]
Perfect.
*Shiii*
Using my Skill <Deep Pockets> I began to take out one of the items I saved during my time training with Ruby and Yang before Beacon as these have been useful for me to refuel my AP in a short amount of time.
----
Item: AP Potion (Low)
Description: This is an AP Potion that restores about 1000 AP once drunk is generated from [The Gamer]. If this item is given to a person that hasn't awakened the skill <Aura> they will immediately gain the skill upon consumption.
----
Tch.
Really wish I used my first time getting a reward on the items instead of stats otherwise I would've gotten my Aura but…
Whatever…
At least my <Expel Aura> skill raised well enough over the course I have been boosting it and finally reached the first goal point.
And my <Expel Aura> skill raised to Lv.25 finally giving me a 5% AP Cost less to boot.
All in all a good day.
*Gulp*
"Ah…"
*Shiii*
Putting away the empty potion bottle I return my attention to my skill list to see what the descriptions say about them after my hard work to create them.
No Ozpin doesn't know about this since I checked my <Observe> in the room that there are no cameras and on Shion to know his asleep.
Man, his one deep sleeper though…
Anyway…
Skill List.

----
Perfect.
I now have my own way to fight from afar now and I restored my AP to be full again.
Now…
Glancing over to Team R(W)BY I can only hope they can do well against whatever Weiss has in store for them…
*Ring*
*Ring*
That was when I heard a noise of ringing from Shion equipment as I got ready if needed to Shion picked up while I listen in, "Hmm… That is likely a manifestation of Weiss's Will to resist the Nightmare. A key to enter the depths of her mind and wake up. Please take care and do any of you need an Aura resupply?"
"Hmm… Ok."
*Clang*
As Shion was done calling Ruby from the other end he began to direct me to the three team members as he spoke, "Ruby, Yang, and Blake need an Aura to refuel as I heard they used some to get to the fortress."
"On it."
No need to say twice I began to go along to the three and use <Aura Amp> to transfer some Aura to boost them in the process.
At least I can do this much to help.
Shame I can't be there to help them out.
But for now, if this is all I can do at the very least I will give my best.
[<Aura Amp> LEVEL UP!]
/////
~Third POV~
Elsewhere Ruby, Yang, and Blake both began to discover the changes they have gone through under how Weiss views them as they notice the changes.
They each split up once they saw the Dream version of Atlas under Negative Weiss control as they began to split up finding a path.
Ruby managed to find more of the dummies as Weiss views them as she saw Pyrrha began to sing a song about Mirror Mirror as Ruby was caught listening in.
No sooner or later the team members managed to leave more door coins for them to use as Shion Semblance <Dream> was boosted thanks to Jack skill <Aura Amp> to have a better chance for Team R(W)BY to have.
When they enter inside the city, they Yang and Ruby let themselves get captured to have an easier way inside the castle.
As they got captured, they called Shion using one of his coins to talk about the situation and each of them having their Aura refueled in the real world thanks to Jack <Aura Amp> transferring his aura to them.
Once the three made a plan that made Yang to stay not to alert Sleepy Klein leaving Blake and Ruby to search the mansion, they infiltrated…
/////
Ruby and Blake both made it to what seems like stairs leading to a second floor as Blake spoke of what she discovered, "When I looked around, I found a door that goes to the underground. It might lead to the core of her mind, like the professor said."
Ruby was quickly impressed with Blake quick thinking as she spoke out surprised, "Wow, Blake! Even when you were on your way to save us, you were checking things out."
However, Blake calmly denies the claims as she replied to Ruby truthfully of how she searched the area to save them when they got captured voluntarily, "I didn't spend a lot of time. I hope that's useful for something."
Blake gestures to the horse knight relic in Ruby hands when she got it from traveling to the mansion as she replied to Blake question, "I think there might be another one, too."
"Another one?"
Blake asked confuse what Ruby meant as she began to explain to her teammate about the relics in Weiss dreams as the one Ruby held the knight piece in the color red, "This one was where we were, so I bet there's one where your dream version was, too. I mean there are two relics in real life, too."
Blake nods with a smile as Ruby places the Relic in her pouch.
"I'll open it."
*Creee*
*Thud*
Opening the door to another room soon reveals that it's an endless corridor like path as Blake soon realizes it was a dead end or so it seems as she spoke, "I don't think we'll be able to go straight through."
The two began to continue walking as the floor was riddled with thorns over growing from the pillars inside or on the floor…
*Thud*
"As expected."
That was when a step was heard as Negative Weiss soon makes her appearance as she began to talk to Ruby and Blake in a cold voice along with her Atlas robot forces, "No matter how many times I expel you, you keep reappearing. I already told you in this place there's no room for Faunus."
