Hello everyone, another chapter to make for you guys. And thank you for patiently waiting and supporting this fanfic. I hope you guys have a good day and stay safe as always.
asymetriczero: thanks man, I appreciate that you like the chapter. As for the JoJolion fic, I was still thinking about it if I should make that first then the Golden Wind.
Laypselgod: Bro Lmao, don't be like that to Weiss she maybe a bitch and cold sometime but hey, she was an impressionable and a lovely character in my opinion. And wow you're so triggered to Whitley, Jacques and Adam XD. As for Jaune he won't have the same FATE as Johnny. And for my future smut fic, most of the girls will be from RWBY, and few will be some other girls (Jolyne, Trish, Iris from Fire Force, Yasuho and many other female franchise.) and when I search Senran Kagura, it was a game, so I have no idea who this girls are and I didn't play the game as well as I didn't watch Danganronpa yet.
X3runner: Yes Jaune will have a lipstick like Gappy and Johnny, I will insert a scene were Gyro and Jaune will put there lipsticks on and see how they will react.
Elfercho69: Yeah, I will do that, maybe just a little bit of a funny conversation with the two of them.
Just pink guy: Well the legends will be not Jesus, because since Jesus didn't exist in the RWBYverse it will be someone else who I will replace as Jesus. (And if you guys know who it is, you're right!)
Why: Even I myself wants to know, on why does the rwby fans wants to replace Whitley as Valentine or Yang as Josuke, and also Jaune as Kira. That was so silly!
DeltaGhost: Ok first, I already saw Disco Ballad's OP for the SBR and the rest of the fan-made themes on your list in the review and it was cool. Second about Jauney's death, no he WILL not going to die or something… about his wife, uuhhh I was thinking it will be not Rina, because you know I like Pyrrha to be he's wife or one of the Team RWBY, but anyways it was still undecided who will be, and there is still many problems in Remnant, Grimm, Salem and many others. After all of this, Jaune will have so many pursuers. And yes I know the reference of the stands and the characters (Songs and the looks). Lastly I already see that fanart that is look like a card, I already have one on my phone and it was lit!
Well with that being said, HEY YA!
Well, another break for the end of the screening, the rest of the audience were taking a restroom break as usual while the Beacon Gang gathered and talks about the last screening.
"Ok this race is getting a bit weird, starting with Pocoloco" Fox mused
"Yeah, that guy is literally crazy, closing his eyes while going inside a steep and tightly packed forest, like who does that?" Sun questioned on how crazy Pocoloco is
"Ok I know that Sun, but guys listen" Neptune said which takes everyone's attention
"What if… the fortune teller was telling the truth? That he's really the "One out of 50 hundred million" in Remnant that he's lucky" Neptune quoted which everyone deadpanned
"Really Neptune, you believe in such an irrelevant fortune" Weiss said with an impassive look
"Yeah what she said, I thought you're the smartest in the team Neptune?" Sun chimed and agreed in the heiress, Neptune deflated and slump his back
"Come on Snow Angel, it was just a 'what if' question!" Neptune fumed while having his arms sideways. Sun just laughed while Weiss huffed and crossed her arms in annoyance. 'Sun! You traitor!' Neptune groaned in thought because of his partner in crime laughing at him
"Well Nep-Nep, somehow I agree on you" Yang said which makes everyone looked at her in surprise and Neptune grinned because someone just agreed to him
"Really Yang, you believe to good luck and bad luck" Blake deadpanned at her blonde buxom of a partner
"I mean yeah, why do I not believe in does sort of things. Because first that's what my uncle Qrow's semblance is" Yang stated with a cheeky grin
"You mean your uncle's semblance is good fortune?" Blake questioned while quirking her eyebrow
"Nope, it's misfortune actually" Yang stated which Blake twitch her eyebrow "Ok here's the thing though, like what Neptune said, he got a gold coin out of nowhere, gets lucky at that crazy leap back at the cliff, and not only that, he gets to the other participants in a short span of time" Yang pointed out each of Pocoloco's "luck" one by one. Others copes what Yang pointed while cupping their chins
"So you're saying that Pocoloco's semblance is… good fortune?" Ruby theorized but still unsured about the thought
"Well… it's just a possibility that it's his semblance Rubes" Yang replied with a shrug
"But still Yang, maybe it was just a coincidence that he make it to the others" Weiss chimed
"Well Weiss-cream it was just a theory of mine, I was not sure if it was his semblance" Yang said while Weiss groaned to the nickname
Aside from their conversation, Horseman shows up to everyone in the middle of the screen, he looks so fresh and happy. He was in a good mood right now.
"So hello everyone how you guys doing?" Horseman said with an upbeat tone while smiling
"You seem so cheery today huh" Qrow noticed and drinks his flask
"Well, I just got a good well sleep today and I just finished some stuff for you guys" Horseman chimed while Qrow looks at him in curiousity
"Oh well I see, what do you have in store for us" Qrow questioned
"Well dusty old crow that will be a surprise" Horseman responded with a chuckle which Qrow gets a bit irritated but he shrugged it off and continues to drink his ale.
"Anyways, as usual everyone, y'all take a sit and we were about to begin folks" Horseman requested and the audience takes a sit as well "Just so y'all folks know, this will getting weirder… and weirder" Horseman added with a smirk, the audience were confused by this. They look to each other and having no idea what he was saying
"Uhm… what do you mean by that Mr. Horseman?" Ozpin questioned which Horseman just smirked
"Ahhh you'll see wizard" Horseman answered which makes Ozpin more confused, but the screen starts to play.
The screen starts to play with Pocoloco closing his eyes like crazy while moving inside the steepy forest
'I really have that "one out of 50 hundred million" good luck! UH-OHHH!' Pocoloco mused in thought 'It's true… if it wasn't, I would have already fallen off the horse!'
The scene shows up Pocoloco still closing his eyes and surprisingly still riding his horse, and follow up by Jaune in the rear
'I won't get hit by branches even if I close my eyes! Nothing will kick me off this horse' Pocoloco declared confidently in thought. The scenery change into an eagle eye view, were the drones scattered everywhere and below the ground seeing the other participants separate to the main course and going in to the forest.
"THE 3600 HORSES ARE SPLITTING INTO THE GROUPS! THE GROUP FOLLOWING THE GAMBLER GYRO ZEPPELI, TAKE A SHORTCUT!" the commentator stated the events happening
"THE REST WILL BE A SAFER ROUTE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S 1000 METERS LONG! IT MAY BE A FAST ROUTE BUT KNOW ONE KNOWS WHAT WILL BE THE DANGERS INSIDE THE FOREST!" the commentator exclaimed
"This will be a big time gamble for them, grimm might be lurking in the woods… I wonder how Jaune will handle this?" Ren hummed and wondered while cupping his chin
"Nah don't worry Renny, he's our fearless leader, and I'm sure he will take down grimm using his mighty sword and shield" Nora cheered while Ren rolled his eyes and Pyrrha giggled at her teammate's antics
"Nora, I don't think Jaune will ever bring his weapon in this race" Pyrrha pointed
"Ughh lame" Nora commented
The scene change direct to Jaune who was struggling to get pass each branch in the woods as well as the other participants
ゴ ゴ ゴ
'Shit! Where? Where's Gyro? I can't see him! I can't let him gain more distance from me!' Jaune exclaimed in thought, he was in a bit of a panic trying to catch up to Gyro. The camera turns to one participant barbarically shouted
"UOOOOOOOO!" the man shouted and gets his old double-barreled shotgun and fires one branch that blocks his way
"FAHAHAHA!" he laughed maniacally and it escalated quickly when a large branch flies towards him "Oh" then the branch hits his face and falls of his horse
"Ohhh!" a lot of them winced because of that
"Ohh that look's so bad" Dove commented
"Yeah, that was definitely dumb" Russel commented
Then another participant uses a swords whirling around in the top of his head with style and use it to cut the branches, so far so good until the sword gets stuck in one large branch and he was stuck as well. His horse ran away, and he was shocked by this until two other participants ends up collides to him.
"OHHHHH!" a lot of the audience wince once more, damn this guys are dumber than they thought
"That one looks as painful as hell" Cardin winced as well
"Hmph, what a clown this people are" Tyrian scoffed at the participants idiocy
The scene change to Pocoloco, his eyes were kept close and so far he dodges every branches in the forest, and at his back was a dumbfounded Jaune keeping his eyes on Pocoloco
'This guy…. Even though he's closing his eyes' Jaune thought, he's catching up to Pocoloco, passing every tight trees
ゴ ゴ ゴ
'He's accelerating while his eyes are closed!' Jaune exclaimed in thought, it was unbelievable really. How this guy is keep going while he's eyes closed without even falling off his horse.
"Whoa, how is he keeping doing that?!" Scarlet said in amazement
"That is unbelievable, he didn't even fall of on his horse! Now I'm starting to believe that this guy is stupidly lucky" Sage dumbfounded
"Nah that's nuts, I believe that this guy will fall of his horse anytime sooner" Neptune said still in disbelief about it, but boy you're wrong
"Ok let's make a bet, if he gets out of the forest while he's eyes closed and doesn't fall off then you'll apy me 50 lien Neptune" Sun makes a bet and smirked, Neptune hesitated for a bit but accepts his challenge
"Well I take it, if he doesn't then you'll pay me as well" Neptune accepted his bet, Sun confidently grins
"Well then, we'll see about that" Sun said feeling confident about it.
Then camera focuses to Jaune having thoughts in mind
'Did he think it was safer to close his eyes and let the horse move on its own rather than controlling the horse himself?!' Jaune questioned in thought 'Certainly… the rider's awareness and fear of obstacles could transfer to their horse…' Jaune thought
In Jaune's path, there was a tree with a huge gap between the branches, he notice this and takes action of it.
'But…' Then Jaune jumps over the tree and quickly passes Pocoloco 'But some sweet thinking like that can win this race! Even Gyro is near his strength's limit!' Jaune scoffed and now he passes Pocoloco completely
"PASSED HIM!" Jaune said
"Go Jaune!" Ruby cheered
"Way to go fearless leader!" Nora cheered to his fearless leader
"Hmmm, I admit, Jaune is really good at horse racing" Weiss complimented Jaune's sheer skill in this race, this noticed by Yang and smirked trying to tease the heiress
"Well Weiss that was the first time I hear you compliment good ol' Vomit-boy huh" Yang teased which the heiress huffed and crossed her arms and ignores the blonde brawler
Then scene now focuses to Pocoloco and one branch flicks his right eyebrow with a small trickle of blood, when Pocoloco opens his eyes, a big branch appeared right in front of him, and OOFF!
"Huh?!" Pocoloco collides to the big branch, he coughs a bit of blood
"Ugh! N-no way… b… but!" and now Pocoloco falls off to his horse, Jaune glanced back and saw what just happened but quickly focus back to the course
'Just as I thought… some thin and boring freak' Jaune sneered in thought
"Never heard Jaune mocks like that" Ren muttered while Pyrrha and Nora nodded at Ren
Meanwhile, Neptune looks at Sun with a Cheshire grin and Sun groaned and sighed accepting his defeat and gives the 50 lien
"Told you he will fall" Neptune chuckled which Sun pissed even more
The next scene turns to Gyro passing every trees in a zigzag path, three beowolves found dead and starts to vanish like dust, the audience assumed Gyro defeated those grimm. Gyro heard some rustling on the bushes he glanced and saw a stag-grimm approaching him, he readied his steel ball and throws at the grimm in the distance
ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ
*ZZOOOOMMM*
"OORYAA!" Gyro launches his steel ball in a curve path and hits the stag-grimm's head, the steel balls frictions the grimm's head and in no time the grimm's face exploded.
'Stupid grimm' Gyro thought with a smirk then continuing his way back to the course.
"He just defeated those grimm using he's steel balls in a single throw" Winter muttered in awe
"It's a bit unorthodox the way he kill grimm, but somehow impressive" Ironwood said in amazement, huh Gyro never fails to impress them
'Hmmm the way he killed those grimm… he easily takes them out using those steel balls, I can say it's quite fascinating' Watts noted how Gyro takes those grimm out.
Then Gyro suddenly heard some movements in the trees, he take a glance and look at it but nothing was there. Gyro shrugged and kept going
"My mind's playing tricks on me… I could have sworn someone was coming" He muttered, but then he heard it again and he completely look back "No…!" Gyro muttered. Then the transition slowly shows afar a horse without its rider
"A runaway horse… the rider's fallen off…" then Gyro's eyes went wide what he saw next, the scene change to the person who was getting dragged by a horse… and it was Pocoloco with his feet stuck
"WUOO!" Pocoloco shouted, then the camera transitions back to Jaune
"Th-this guy! He went straight through the space between the branches! I can't catch up! He's getting ahead of me!" Jaune exclaimed feeling frustrated at Pocoloco, how? Just… how?!
ゴゴゴゴ
'This guy! By falling off the horse… he could go freelt through a space only a horse could pass through…' Jaune thought in disbelief getting more frustrated
'Hmm… this could be Mr. Pocoloco's semblance, and I'm sure of it just like Clover's, his semblance should be good fortune!" Ironwood thought frantically
"General Ironwood, I'm certain that this is the work of his semblance. He always have his luck in any sorts of ways" Winter concluded which nodded in agreement, but your wrong about that Winter
"Yes I'm certain as well" Ironwood agreed
Everyone else were in disbelief about this well except other though, it's just… farfetched
Gyro was getting on his way out to the steep forest, he was swift at getting to his path and Pocoloco is the on his way catching up as well.
"It's Gyro! He's breezing through the trees! But that guy's closing in on Gyro!" Jaune stated. Then the scene transitions to Pocoloco who was still get dragged by his horse.
"F… Fast! Fast! Yo! Yo!" Pocoloco grimaced then he thought about something 'I was really lucky!' He thought whimsically
"I can't believe how lucky I was! Falling off the horse!" Pocoloco said cheerily. Then the camera switches to Jaune.
'If this keeps up… he might catch up to Gyro in the forest! Is it merely by chance… or is it… did he calculate what would happen from the very beginning?' Jaune questioned the thought.
"Jaune must do something, if he doesn't then he might not catch up to them" Blake stated
"Well Blake I think my theory is correct, this guy has a semblance" Yang concluded which her teammates gave her a skeptic look
"Well if it's his semblance, then he should unlock his aura so he can take the damage from the branch… and look his wounds still didn't heal yet" Weiss stated which makes their eyes wide at Weiss' point.
"Well… maybe he didn't activate his aura, I guess" Ruby said but unsure about it. So far Weiss is correct, how does he have a semblance if he didn't know how to activate his aura, and it's strange.
The scene change to Gyro glanced at the horse with Pocoloco getting dragged. It was unbelievable yes, so Gyro has a plan at this.
"What… the hell?" He muttered and the camera change to a pack of trees that blocks Gyro's path
"Damn! I guess it's time to avoid more than just trees" Gyro said having some plan in mind, he takes his two steel balls spinning at a high speed. He use it to throw them at the trees and it opens wide that clears his path.
The audience were quite astounded at another display of skill of the steel balls, Gyro never fails to impress.
When Pocoloco crosses next, the steel balls comes back to Gyro and the trees comes back straight and close the path and hits Pocoloco.
*CRRRRASSHHHH*
'Closed!' Pocoloco perplexed and "BHEE!" gets hit by the trees, and gets boosted up because of it. "UOAA! GWAH!"
"Wait the trees didn't even brake!" Neo perplexed
"It seems like it, so he didn't throw the steel balls to break the trees, but to bend it." Roman stated
"Well not only that, he also use it to make Pocoloco completely far behind by blocking it, that was so clever" Mercury said with a sly smirk.
The scene transitions to a bird's eye view of Gyro the only one who comes out of the forest.
"OOOOOH! ONE CAME OUT OF THE FOREST! THEY'RE COMING! THEY'RE COMING! ONE HORSE MADE IT THROUGH THE FOREST!" the commentator squealed in anticipation, and the camera show to Gyro
"IT'S GYRO! IT'S GYRO! AS EXPECTED, GYRO ZEPPELI CAME OUT SINGLE HANDEDLY!" the commentator said, the scene transitions back at a bird's eye view and shows the rest of the group who chose to stay at the safe course.
"IT'S A SUCCESS! THE SHORTCUT WAS A SUCCESS! THERE'S A DIFFERENCE OF AT LEAST 800 METERS FROM THE PEOPLE WHO RAN THROUGH THE NORMAL ROUTE!" the commentator stated but suddenly he gasped at shock on what he saw, the scene change back to Gyro but there is one horse who catches up to him.
"WHAT?! THERE'S ONE MORE! ONE MORE HORSE CAME OUT OF THE FOREST!" the commentator exclaimed
"IT'S CATCHING UP! CLOSING IN ON GYRO AND ONLY 5 HORSE LENGTH AWAY!" the commentator stated, the camera zoomed in on who it was. And it was…
"No!" Gyro looks back and saw… Pocoloco at his horse in complete glory
Everyone were jaws-dropped and eyes wide at this, Pocoloco was get dragged lately but now he was on his horse.
"How! How did he get on his horse?!" Ilia exclaimed, but Sienna cupped her chin and thinking on how. Until she gets it.
"I think I know how" Sienna said which the chameleon and bull faunus looks at her
"The trees… the trees that bend and hits him helps him to boost up back on his horse" Sienna concluded which they were surprised. They were now in belief that Pocoloco has a good fortune.
"WHAT IS GOING?! WHAT THE?! WHO THE HECK IS THAT?!" the commentator questioned in utter surprise
"EVEN THOUGH GYRO ZEPPELI WAS SO FAR AHEAD COMING OUT OF THE FORSET, SOMEONE HAS ALREADY CAUGHT UP TO HIM!" the commentator said, then camera positions to Pocoloco in his eyes widen in realization
"It's true! I really am a lucky guy!" Pocoloco realized "UHOHHHHH! I got hit by a tree branch and was knocked back on the saddle!" Pocoloco laughed in an upbeat demeanor, the camera quickly shows to a bit mortified Gyro
"I don't understand! Who is he?! It must be some kind of ability or semblance… or else this couldn't have happened!" Gyro said still perplexed. The scene transitions that shows the 4000 meter mark and they see already the farm from afar
"THERE'S A SIGN THAT SAYS 4000 LEFT! AFTER THE DOWNHILL AND THE FARM, THERE'S 2000 METERS OF STRAIGHT ROAD TO THE GOAL!" the commentators said feeling excited
"So this is it, this will be the hardest part of this stage, the downhill" Yatsuhashi commented
"But Jaune, is getting far behind do you think he can still catch up?" Velvet questioned in worry
"Don't worry bunny ears, I'm sure your boy-toy can catch up" Coco assured which Velvet scratch her neck with a tinge of pink blush
ゴゴゴゴゴゴ
The scene change to Gyro going ahead downhill, then the commentator speaks
"AND THE FINAL BATTLE BEGINS BETWEEN THE LEADING RIDERS! ONLY 4000 METERS ARE LEFT UNTIL THEY REACH THE GOAL! THE DEVIL'S DOWNHILL STANDS BEFORE THEM! STILL ON TOP IS GRYO ZEPPELI!" the commentator said, the camera switches viewing behind Gyro was Pocoloco following, and the rest of the participants were at the back
"THERE'S 3000 METERS BETWEEN HERE AND THE FARM. THE DOWNHILL AREA IS IN THE RANGE OF 50 METERS IN HEIGHT, THERE ARE AREAS THAT ARE AS STEEP AS A 30 DEGREE ANGLE. AND A HORSE RIDER MUST ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT A LONG DOWNHILL MUST BE RUN AT A LOWER SPEED!" the commentator noted, the camera transitions to Jaune and the other participants.
"OH! EVEN WHEN PEOPLE JUMP AHEAD, YOU MUST KEEP A SLOWER PACE! ENDURE IT! EVERYONE MUST ENDURE IT!" the commentator stated
"EVEN IF YOU'RE SCATTERED AND BEHIND IN THE GROUP. YOU MUST HOLD A STEADY PACE! IF YOU PUT OUT TOO MUCH SPEED GOING DOWNHILL. THE LEGS OF YOUR HORSE COULD GIVE OUT DURING THE FINEL STRECTH!" the commentator reminded
"This is dangerous, one wrong move or if one of them speed up. They might stumble and collide with the rest of the riders, plus serious injuries" Terra stated while cradling a sleeping Adrian
"So Jaune must be slow and steady in this dangerous downhill." Saphron muttered still worried for her brother's safety
The camera then soon focus to Jaune with the rest of the participants
"THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS! THE SAME WAY A WELL WILL DRY UP, THE ENERGY SPENT RUNNING THE 11000 METERS WILL BE WASTED" the commentator said, while Jaune was caressing his horse
"Hang on, steady… don't let the other horses distract" Jaune said to his horse in a calm tone, the camera transitions to a scenery of the downhill, from afar was the farm that they can see from the distance
"THEY'RE ALMOST HERE! YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO EXHAUST YOUR HORSE'S LEGS AT THIS POINT! BUT STILL, THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN DROP YOUR PACE EITHER! FROM HERE ON OUT, IT COMES DOWN TO WHO WILL BE ABLE TO ENDURE IT THE BEST!" the commentator stated
"So this will be an endurance battle huh" Dove commented
"Yup, too much speed will cause you serious injuries, but damn look at that downhill, it is so far away down" Russel gasped at the sight
"Hehe I wonder how our dear ol' Jauney boy can do it?" Cardin wondered how his 'buddy' will can do in this race.
The camera transitions to Gyro and from his back was Pocoloco with a confident face. Gyro glanced back and thought
'Damn… I don't know who the hell this guy is… or how he caught up so fast. But there's no need to worry… I didn't make any mistakes during the forest crossing.' Gyro thought and he just shrugged it off and caressing his horse
"Don't worry about your back. Build up your strength slowly… but stay in the lead and once we pass the farm… I'LL LET YOU EXPLODE INTO ACTION!" Gyro said to himself, and sticks to his plan.
"Pocoloco seem so confident now" Glynda commented
"Well, since the young man has luck on his side for sure he will feel confident because of it" Port said while fixing his mustache
"*sigh* I wish I had that kind of semblance" Qrow muttered in a bit of envy, ever since from the past nobody likes him. He was always having misfortunes that makes everyone stays away from him. But of course with the help of Ozpin, and the support of Tai and his nieces. It gives him the sense of purpose to live. So he shrugged it off and drinks his flask.
The scene change to one participant goes full speed in downhill like crazy with a maniacal grin.
"SOMEONE COULDN'T TAKE THE SLOW PACE, AND FLEW OUT, CHARGING TO THE FRONT! HE'S CLOSING IN TO GYRO AND NUMBER 777!" the commentator exclaimed, Pocoloco glanced and looks at the man
"Don't worry! Yo! Yo! Yohhhh! I have luck that is one out of 50 hundred million! Once we pass the farm… you can do anything! So endure it until then and don't run off!" Pocoloco declared confidently. Until he hear a voice that sound so gibberish
"Pocoloco! What kind of idealistic talk is that? There's the cow Pocoloco!" the voice said which Pocoloco looks where it came from and saw a creature peeking on the fence. The creature was roughly humanoid, its head is shaped as an upturned bucket, marked on tip by three concentric circles, and malformed eyeholes of uneven size. It wears a wreath of many small, hollow cylinders, and its lips are pierced by a row of short nails. When Pocoloco past the fence he glanced again and the creature was gone.
Everyone were shocked and their faces were so mortified. They have never seen this before nor the knowledge of what it is. What is this creature?! This… THING! Just came out of nowhere! Maybe they were just seeing things.
"W-W- WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!" Cardin shouted in stutter
"Damn is it me or I'm just too drunk?" Qrow asked himself seeing if he was in his senses
"No Qrow, we saw that, I think all of us!" Taiyang answered which Summer nodded rapidly
'What is this creature?! I've never see anything like this?!' Raven thought in shock
"Do you think that thing is a ghost?!" Nora gasped trying to comprehend on what it is
"G-G-GHOST!" Ruby screamed in horror while Yang calm her little sister and Weiss just rolled her eyes at Nora's assumption
"Nora that was completely silly" Weiss said
"Then what do you think it is 'Ice queen'?" Nora asked the heiress which she didn't know what it is either, she didn't argue and just gets back to the screen and continues to watch
The creature then appears under Pocoloco's horse, he looks under it saw the creature again
"So you can do anything? Hey don't get distracted! Or else you might fall off the horse… you're not supposed to fall of yet. KUKU" the creature said which Pocoloco bewildered and mortified, the creature was gone once more. Pocoloco rubs he's eyes thinking he was just seeing things
"Huh?! I saw something really weird… did I hit my head when I fell off in the forest? Th… that thing I saw just now… was I hallucinating? I… I…" Pocoloco stuttered in confusion, until the creature appears again at his back
"Yeah, yeah it must be a hallucination… you're going to do it right?" the creature said sarcastically
"I've never seen anything like this, Watts do you know what this creature?" Salem asked which Watts shakes his head
"I'm sorry milady, but I don't know what this creature is" Watts replied having no intellect on what it was, Salem looks at Cinder, which she shakes her head, as well as Hazel and Tyrian. Clearly they don't have any idea about this creature
"Ozpin, do you know anything about this…. Thing?" Glynda asked which the headmaster has no idea as well
"Sorry Glynda, but I myself don't have any intellect on what it was" Ozpin replied, ever since Ozpin walked for over thousands of years he never saw anything like this in his whole existence neither Salem.
The camera zooms in to the creature as he continues to speak
"You're the guy with the one out of 50 hundred million luck! You're a lucky guy! You can beat him if you don't hold back! GO! Don't worry about the downhill and just go! Have faith" The creature encouraged, then camera zooms in more at the creatures eyes
"It will all work out right? you'll certainly win!" the creature said confidently, Pocoloco glanced at his back and the creature was gone, he was now confused more and mortified in shock
'Wah…' he thought and he feels something on his hand, he looks at it and saw a set of fingers of the creature slowly appearing on his upper wrist. He looks to his hands, the fingers were gone and on one second, he smiled with confidence filled on his face
"Oookay… this was getting weirder and weirder" Sun said as she felt a bit uncomfortable at her seat also his teammates
"SEE! That thing or… whatever it is! It's definitely a ghost! A GHOST! AND HE WAS BEING POSSESED!" Ruby screamed in horror and panic, ever since she was little, she believed in ghosts that she watched in the horror movies, or those scary stories that Yang and her father told her. At first it was just some amusement of hers trying to scare herself, but now she was starting to believe in it.
'Hehe Ruby, how wrong are you' Horseman chuckled and amusement at Ruby frightens like a child
"Ruby geez, calm down, we still don't know what that thing" Yang calms her little sister in a sisterly tone and gives her a glass of water for her to drink
The scene transitions to both Gyro and Pocoloco, who was about to say something
"Yo! Youuu! Guy in the front! Is that all you can do?" Pocoloco spat the words toxically "I proclaim, once I pass you… you will never be able to take the lead from me Pocoloco…" Pocoloco declared, Gyro didn't respond for a second. Until he glanced at him with his toothy grin that makes his grills shine
"Did you say something? Were you talking into my ass? Because I can't hear anything with my ass…" Gyro spat back at him, which Pocoloco grunted
"Oh! Burn!" Some of them laughed at Gyro's toxic bars, some of them sighed and shakes there head at Gyro's immature attitude.
"Ha! You know what, I'm starting to like this guy" Qrow laughed
"Hpmh, expecting from a drunk like you" Winter huffed but Qrow just ignore the Ice queen
"You better move… fall behind you freak!" Pocoloco growled and speed up that he catches up to Gyro, two panels flashes of a shocked Gyro and Jaune
"What the…" Jaune muttered in shock
"AMAZING! NUMBER 777 FLEW OUT IN THE FRONT! HIS NAME IS POCOLOCO FROM THE TOWN OF GEORGIA, 21 YEARS OLD, REGISTERED AS POCOLOCO! HE PASSED GYRO TO TAKE THE LEAD!" the commentator stated in shock, the camera transitions to Gyro who looks impassive that his face shadowed his eyes, he was trying to hold back
"GYRO'S HOLDING BACK! GYRO'S HOLDING BACK!" the commentator said repeatedly, the scene transitions to a dumbstruck Jaune and thought
'Don't worry! Don't get pulled in by him! Getting pulled in by some superficial choice will lead us to hell's staircase! There's no doubt about it!' Jaune thought sticking to his usual plan of holding back while steadying his pace
Everything escalated because of Pocoloco's suicidal act, and he was insane just to pass Gyro
"What the hell is he doing?! Is he insane?!" Weiss exclaimed
"This guy is going for it, he might get himself injured!" Velvet exclaimed
"Well at least Jaune was chilling and sticking to his plan" Sun commented
"I knew it! Because of that g-ghost! He was being possessed and he's going crazy" Ruby shouted in a cutesy tone, sticking thought that… creature was a ghost
The camera changes to the other racers also speeding up in the downhill
"OTHER RACERS FROM THE BACK HAVE ALSO JOINED AND ARE ACCELERATING AS WELL! THEY'RE FLYING! GYRO IS CATCHING UP! 15 HORSE LENGHTS! 10 HORSE LENGTHS!" the commentator said in hype, and a panel shows Pocoloco with a confident face
"HE'S PULLING CLOSER TO POCOLOCO" the commentator said, and the scene changes to Pocoloco who was speeding up like a butterfly
"BUT THIS IS FOOLISH! IT'S NOT A CHALLENGE, IT'S RECKLESS! ACCELERATING DOWNHILL IS A POOR TACTIC! THE SOUND OF THE HOOVES ARE A REQUIEM FOR WHAT'S TO COME!" the commentator pointed out, yes he was right, it is really foolish. But it seems really strange that Pocoloco does that
"Certainly, he was right it is really foolish that this boy was speeding up in a downhill" Hazel commented
"I think he was just being pathetic and acts like a peasant fool" Tyrian groaned
'There is something… odd about him, after that… creature spoke to him, he became more confident and become aggressive. Is that thing the reason of his good fortune, or is there something else? No matter, I must find out what sort of sorcery is this' Salem thought and observe intently.
The camera focus closely at Gyro, he was dumbfounded at reckless act of Pocoloco
"Damn… but… if…" Gyro muttered in annoyance but he has something in mind
'Let's say he… he had some kind of strategy and he's flying through the downhill for some reason… like, in the forest, when he consciously fell off to get pulled up by his horse through the trees!' Gyro mulled in thought. The scene turns to Pocoloco who was smirking, then it transitions to the farm
'If he reaches the farm safely, then during the final stretch, with the distance created between us at the hill, will my horse have a chance to overtake him before the hill?' Gyro thought, but it was a reckless move so he shake his head in disagreement to himself
'No! there's no way he can make it in one piece! It'll all come to a head soon! Forget he even exists! Just don't think about him! Hold back! I have to endure through this hill!' Gyro thought still sticking to endure the downhill
"Well that was a smart move, it is really dangerous to go full speed in downhill" Pyrrha commented
"But what if Pocoloco, reached the farm safe and sound? Gyro might not catch up to him" Nora questioned but Pyrrha and Ren shake their heads in disagreement
"I think that's not possible, because of the pull of gravity in the downhill plus the speed of the horse. There is a chance that the horse might trip off and fall off. Which leads him to severe injuries, or death" Ren stated the facts
The scene changes to Gyro and on his back was the participants who goes on full speed and two of them were tripped of the horse, one of them was get crushed by it
"WHOA!"
"AGH!"
A lot of them winced in the sight that was so much pain for them, they're lucky if they were alive after that fatal fall
"Ouch! That looks terrible!" Roman winced at the sight
"Heh, those fools, because of being greedy, this what they get" Jacques jeered, which notice by one bull faunus that narrowed his eyes at him
'Huh, talking about greedy, huh someday I will get you Jacques Schnee!' Adam growled in thought on how arrogant that man was
When the two participants fell off the horse Jaune leaps over them trying to catch up at Gyro.
"THEY FELL OFF! TWO RIDERS HAVE FALLEN OFF! THINGS HAVE GOINE TO A HEAD! IF YOU DON'T TAKE THIS DOWNHILL SERIOUSLY, YOU WILL WIND UP DEAD!" the commentator stated but still surprise, then the scene transitions to Pocoloco… has finally tripped off the horse, and Gyro was expecting this
"POCOLOCO TRIPPED! POCOLOCO FELL! IT'S ALL COMING TO HEAD!" the commentator mused
"Yup, there you have it, he finally fell off" Neo deadpanned
"Well, that's what you get when you do something idiotic, just like Roman" Cinder mulled with a smirk ignoring the grunting thief that glares at her
Some of them were slightly worried at Pocoloco, he might end up dead because of it, but little do they know what will happen next
"It's ok just keep goin! We are lucky! It's safe! G… what?!" Pocoloco tries to think positively but unfortunately he was finally fell off that sends him flying off the horse. The scene changes to Gyro from the distance, it covers how Pocoloco tripped off the horse
"HE FELL! HE FELL! POCOLOCO IS DOWN! POCOLOCO IS DOWN!" the commentator said repeatedly
"GYRO IS IN FIRST PLACE! GYRO IS IN THE LEAD! POCOLOCO WAS IMPRUDENT!" the commentator stated in surprise, it shows a panel of Gyro who was smirking
"Thank you very muuuch…" Gyro mused with a smirk, the camera transitions to the dust were Pocoloco fell off
"RIGHT ON SCHEDULE, GYRO IS IN THE LEAD AND HEADED TOWARDS THE FARM!" the commentator stated
"Huh, well this is where his luck end, *sighs* nothing last forever" Qrow commented and drinks his flask
"I think that creature, ghost, or… whatever that thing is gives him a good advice in winning this stage" Raven said sarcastically, but boy this is not the end of Pocoloco
'Speaking of which, I remember that thing told him about a cow… I wonder what that thing meant?' Raven wondered in thought
The camera focuses and zooms closely at the dust, and on one moment, Gyro's eyes were widen what he saw. He saw Pocoloco rising up slowly, and slowly showing half of his body
"….?! What the hell… he's moving…!" Gyro exclaimed in shock
All of them were shocked, their eyes were widen and jaw-dropped in absolute shock. How?! How is he keep moving?!
"Ok what the heck! How the hell did he still keep moving like that?!" Coco exclaimed in shock
"This is impossible! There should be some shenanigans that was happening right now!" Velvet shouted, despite that fall it was impossible for him to move like that.
The scene now transitions to Pocoloco who was sliding down like a pro.
"P-POCOLOCO IS SAFE! HE DIDN'T FALL DOWN! NO HE DEFINITELY FELL DOWN! BUT HE'S MOVING! HE'S MOVING AT AN EVEN GREATER SPEED! HE'S RIDING SOMETHING! MOVING! HE'S MOVING DOWN!" the commentator exclaimed in surprise, until he notice something. There is something underneath at Pocoloco's horse, it shows a decayed leg and the horns. The camera transitions to Gyro who was dumbfounded
'Th… this guy! The freaking… what the hell?! It's calculation! There's no mistake! This guy's actions aren't coincidence or just being dumb! He has to know all these things in advance, or else he couldn't pull off all of this crap! This race's enemy is him!' Gyro concluded in thought
'He was a fearsome enemy!' Gyro grunted in thought, it shows now… the dead body of a cow and shows the full view of Pocoloco with his horse resting above the cow's dead body
Everyone were dumbfounded as well and also shocked by this. They don't know if this was his plan it's just dumb luck. But for sure it's not a coincidence, others were somehow realize what the creature told him about a cow, is this what it talks about?
"A dead body of cow, why in the world that a cow is in the track?!" Willow exclaimed in shock, while Ozpin thinks about what the creature was telling, and he hit him
"I think I know now what is that creature was talking about" Ozpin stated in realization
"What is it Ozpin?" Glynda asked the headmaster
"The creature, he told Mr. Pocoloco about a cow. And I think this is what its talking about, a corpse of a cow so he can use it to slide the downhill" Ozpin stated which the Beacon professors were surprised.
"Damn, I was wrong haha, he still got his luck after all" Qrow mused while laughed about it
The screen went black. Until they heard a music starts to play, and shows a coin with the face of a upbeat smile of Pocoloco in it
(Insert Hey Ya! By OutKast)
1,2,3 Uh!
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for suree~
Don't try to fight the feelin
Because the thought alone is killing me right nooww~
The coin began to flip sideways and shows the creature and shows a some sort of statistics pie chart appear in the coin on the lower-left side of the screen.
Uh!~ Heeeyyy Yaaaaaa~
Heeeyyy Yaaaa~
STAND NAME: Hey Ya!
STAND MASTER: Pocoloco
Power: E
Speed: E
Range: E
Durability: B
Precision: E
Growth Potential: E
"What is this? Is this some sort of stat card?" Saphron questioned
"Well I guess so, but what is a stand?" Terra questioned in confusion
"I think this creature is called a stand, and also what's with the music?" Summer questioned
"I think it's some theme song. But whoa the jam is so jazzy and a bit groovy, I like it" Taiyang said in awe at the song
"Uhh I think Prof. Ozpin knows what a stand is. Professor do you know what a stand is?" Ruby asked the headmaster but unfortunately the has no idea what it is
"I apologize Ms. Rose, but I have no knowledge of what this stand is" Ozpin said in an apologetic tone
"Hmm so that creature is called a stand I guess, and by the looks of it, it has a potential to grow too" Winter stated
"And from the statistics, the grading of it is from E to A. and the lowest is E and the highest is A, whatever this stand is, we must find out about it. It might help us for our cause" Ironwood said which Winter nods, but you're not the only one Ironwood, Salem as well wants to know about it
The scene switches back again to Pocoloco with the he's horse that was resting from the cow's corpse sliding to the downhill
"DEAD BODY! POCOLOCO IS SLIDING DOWN A DEAD BODY! SOMEHOW, A COW'S BODY WAS HIDDEN IN THE GRASS" the commentator said in an utter surprise. The camera focuses to Pocoloco feeling like a happy-go-lucky guy in this race
"Wonderful! YEEEEEEE HAAAAWWW! There was a dead cow's body in the grass! This is no hallucination! It's my good luck! I was damn surprised!" Pocoloco flabbergasted and cheered to himself. The camera transitions to a frustrated Gyro
"SHIT! This is terrible! His horse isn't even running! It's doing nothing but resting!" Gyro growled in absolute frustration
"Once we cross the farm we'll reach the final stretch and his horse will have rested its legs completely!" Gyro concluded and grunted. But Gyro won't let Pocoloco have an easy win in this race so he must do something
"Huh, looks like Gyro is pissed" Russel commented
"He must do something though, if not he will definitely lose this one" Dove said
"I really hate, when someone just win by luck" Cardin frowned and thought how ridiculous the luck that Pocoloco have
Gyro then grabs his steel ball and let it rotate from his palm, it show closely the steel ball spinning at a high speed
"I'm not sure what the rulebook says exactly…" Gyro muttered then the camera shows to Gyro smirking
"But I'm sure this is a race where you ride horses! I can't let you ride a dead cow's body!" Gyro declared readying his steel ball
"Let's have that rock stop the cow sliding!" Gyro said which the steel ball fires off to hit the rock
*FFWWWOOSSHHZZZ *
"Wait, is he going to attack another contestant by hitting the rock! It's against the rules!" Velvet exclaimed
"Well yes, for sure it's against the rules Velvet. But if I were in his place I will sure do the same" Coco stated which Velvet looks at the fashionista in shock
"But why?!" Velvet asked
"Well, it will stomp his pride as a horse jockey, and do you want to let someone win because he has some crazy luck and a ghost that coaches him? I don't think so" Coco said in frown which Velvet understands now.
When the steel ball hits the rock
*Krack*
It shows a bare feet that was on a rock, and it slowly shows who it is, this makes Gyro shocked and shows Sandman steps on the rock
"Uh Uhhh" Sandman grunted trying to balance himself from the rock
"What?!" Gyro exclaimed in shock, and he's plan fall apart
Everyone is surprised, that he was able to catch up by bare feet. And Sandman was for real and he means business
"H-how did he able to catch up? Is he that fast?!" Emerald questioned in surprise
"Hmm that was an amazing feat of talent, and I'm impressed" Cinder mused in impressed
Sandman glance to Gyro and huffs. He starts to hop from the rocks and he was on the first. The camera switches back to Gyro who was dumbstrucked
"W…who's that?! Why is there somebody on the track? Shit the rock fell down too late!" Gyro groaned in annoyance. The scene shows Sandman, Pocoloco and Gyro who was battling to reach the final stretch of the race
"WHO IS HE? THAT PERSON! RUNNING HE'S RUNNING DOWN THE HILL WITH HIS OWN LEGS!" the commentator said in surprised
"HE BROKE IN SO SUDDENLY! FAST! FAST! WHICH ROUTE DID HE TAKE?!" the commentator questioned
"This guy just came out of nowhere, how did he do that?!" Sage asked in awe
"Yeah, which route did he use though?" Neptune questioned as well
The camera focuses on Sandman running so fast like the wind
"SANDMAN! SANDMAN! HIS NAME IS SANDMAN ACCORDING TO THE REGISTRATION! THIS RACE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT! IT'S SO EXCITING! SANDMAN IS IN THE FIRST PLACE AS WE HEAD DOWN THE FINAL STRETCH!" the commentator squealed in excitement on how unpredictable this race is
-TO BE CONTINUED-
So there you have it guys. Sorry that I have update the chapter late. I was preparing for my college and on October it will be my entrance exam so I will be busy to study. Oh and also I have some future fics that I will possibly make in the future.
The Way of the Jeet Kune Do: The Path of Jaune- this fic is all about Jaune who will meet Bruce Lee and learn he's martial arts called Jeet Kune Do, and the cast will react to it
Music Arc: ReBorn- this one is obviously Jaune as a singer, who sings in many genres of music. Because I read a fanfic called Music Arc by AwesomePieMan26 and I'm a fan of his fic. But sadly he still didn't update any chapters in it, which I assume that he stopped writing.
Anyways that's all for now. If you have any suggestions, criticism, or ideas, then leave a review. Oh and who do you guys ship for Jaune?
Next chapter: The Final Stretch
