Xiaolin hunters 7
thanks for being patient with me, I'm having a crisis juggling several fics, but that's what I signed up for when I made them, so I digress. just as a reminder; No the Shen gong Wu will not be featured in every second of this fic, and they won't replace the weapons and armor and crap from RWBY.
now that I've cleared that up, I'm just going to slip tis on in here- besides constant grammar mistakes and slight misinformation I'm stuck editing the damn draft before I could post it. It's sad, I know, but I want to give you all only the good (if not Higher) quality reading for my fics instead of the jumbled mess my very first stories were.
so, please enjoy!
the following week after Ruby's first showdown was... interesting to say the least.
after many... MANY... trial and errors, the Xiaolin group have discovered something rather odd about the red haired girl.
she'a a living Wu detector, just like Kamui and Dojo.
she keeps finding random objects and shows them what she found, and 9 times out of 10, the thing she found just so happened to be a Shen Gong Wu. let's show some highlights, shall we?
Monday: Fountain of Hui
"Hey Jet, is this a Wu thingy?" Ruby asked showing the odd object to the violet haired male. it appeared to be a fountain that seemed to always sparkle and had 3 prongs sticking upwards with a black ring interior surrounded by blue gemstones and smaller prongs on the outside.
"yes. Ruby, it is. now please stop, I'm trying to study." he answered.
"aw come on, what does it do? Tell me! Tell me!"
"look, it gives you infinite knowledge and stuff, now- Ruby?" Jet explained halfway, until he felt a breeze of wind behind him. turning around, Ruby was nowhere in sight.
"...impatient hyper addict." he grumbled, turning back to his studies.
~scene change!~
"hey guys! look what I found!" Ruby said, showing teams WBY and JNPR the wu she discovered.
"Another one!?" Jaune yelped.
"what does that one do?" Nora asked, then everyone slowly turned to the blonde male.
"*sigh* it's the Fountain of Hui. it gives the user all knowledge of the universe, but-" He tried to explain but...
"Fountain of Hui!" Ruby said. said wu then glowed and changed forms. the outer prongs extended and created an energy field around Ruby, her eyes glowing a light blue. however, whilst holding it, Ruby started fidgeting rapidly, and if one were to see it, it would look like she was having a seizure.
"Ruby?" Ren asked, trying to reach for her, but when she spoke, it was a garbled mess of voices.
"Themitochondriaisthepowerhouse,allthesesquaresmakeacircle,theschneesarealie,dustwascreated,notfound,thesoulsprovideallthehiddensecrets,thedarksideisapproaching,buygold,theharbingerofdeathisnigh,thelandoflifeanddeathshallmergebythree-"
"that's enough of that." Jaune stated, smacking the Shen Gong Wu out of Ruby's hands. her eyes returned to the normal silver shade, and she stopped her impromptu seizure as well. the Fountain Of Hui deactivated as soon as it left Ruby's hands.
"w-what happened?" she asked shakily, her head feeling like it would explode.
"before you interrupted me." Jaune started, giving a pointed look at the red clad huntress in training. "I was going to say that by itself, the Fountain only provides random knowledge."
"then what's the point of it then?" Yang asked, lifting Ruby off the floor and onto a chair.
"it's supposed to be used with another Shen Gong Wu; the Eagle Scope. combined, the user can obtain the knowledge of anything they want to know specifically."
"then where is this Eagle Scope then?"
"it's in the Xiaolin Sanctum, where all the other stored Wu go. Only Xiaolin Dragons have access to that place."
"and what rank are you?" Blake asked, joining the conversation.
"Team SARS and I are all Shoku Warriors, the very rank below Xiaolin Dragons. and let me tell you, it's no easy feat to get there."
"well, that sucks."
"then why are you teaching us then? Dojo said that only this Dragon rank can teach." Weiss added.
"Dojo's a Literal Xiaolin Dragon. your argument's invalid."
"..."
"yeah... soooo are you going to keep it or not?"
Tuesday: Tongue of Saiping
"what's this thing now?" Ruby asked, this time she went to Rose, holding up the object in front of her. it appeared to be a big jewel, with a little hole that a string could get into, probably so that it could be worn on someone's neck. It was golden, red and black, and had a circle in the middle of it. inside the circle it was the design of a tongue.
"that's the Tongue of Saiping Rubes. you use that to talk to animals."
"I can TALK to animals!? awesome! I can't wait to show Yang!" Ruby shouted in glee, once again disappearing in a flurry of rose petals.
"sheesh, she was even more hyper than that short yellow monk." Rose said, resuming what she was doing a few seconds prior.
~scene change!~
Blake was alone in the dorm room, quietly enjoying a good novel on her bed, nothing out of the ordinary, when she suddenly felt a short shiver up her spine. opting to ignore it, Blake continued to read... that is until she felt the same jolt from before.
"...what was that?" she asked to nobody. looking around, she had just set her sights upon her book again when the jolt came back, this times with a small tingling sensation and a low, feminine whisper invading her ears.
~hello? can anyone hear me?~
eyes wide at the soft voice, Blake closed her book and looked around the area again, this time on full alert.
~Hi! I'm still new to this thing so i don't know how it works but... oh hey Jet.~
"Jet?"
~Ruby, you're supposed to talk in front of the middle circle.~ a familiar voice of the Xiaolin guardian replaced the soft whisper. his voice being more loud and clear to illustrate the point.
~Like this?~ the whisper asked, her voice louder to realize that it was indeed Ruby.
~yeah, now watch this. All mammals around us, stand up!~ the jolt feeling came back, this time, forcing Blake with the sudden urge to stand. still confused as to what was happening, Blake wordlessly obeyed.
~WOW the squirrels are standing!~
~Now spin around in place three times, and take three steps forward afterwards.~
"Hey Blake. I'm ba- what are you doing?" Yang said, pausing halfway at the sight of Blake spinning around.
"Yang. Get your sister." Blake snarled. a light blush on her face for being caught in the middle of the task.
"wha-"
"get your sister NOW!"
~Now faceplant.~
*SLAM*
"...Oooookay. i'll go get her..." Yang said, walking back and closing the door.
Wednesday: Tangle Web Comb
"Ruby." Witch started, looking at the red clad girl.
"yeah?" she replied.
"why do you have the Tangle Web Comb in your hair?"
"the tango what comb?"
"the comb... in your hair?" the Fox fusion said, pointing to the Wu adorned as a headpiece. said headpiece was a yellow and brown comb, with brownish green teeth.
"oh, I found it on top of my locker. this is a Wu too?"
"well, yeah but-"
"Tangle Web Comb!" Ruby shouted, equipping the comb. large strands of hair blasted forth from the comb's teeth, only a few inches away from the nearest target, which just so happened to be Witch. however, the strands stopped dead on their path before bending back and snaring Ruby instead.
"WHAT THE-MMMMPH!" Ruby tried to scream, but the bindings got to her already. now the red themed teen was a writhing cocoon of hair like strands.
"I was going to say, that it requires lots of focus, or it'll be used against the user."
"Mmmph! mmmmph!" the bundle of hair muffled, inching towards the fusion.
"... I'm not getting you out of this. you're easier to keep out of trouble this way."
"MMMMPH!"
"no."
Thursday: Gills of Hamachi
"Jaune?" Yang asked.
"Yes Yang?" he replied.
"what the hell am I seeing here?" she continued, pointing at the sudden sister turned Mermaid, flopping around and gasping heavily.
"Ruby found the Gills of Hamachi. they make the user able to breath underwater. sucks crap on land though." he answered, taking out a water bottle. "we should probably get those off before she kills herself."
"RUBY!"
Friday: Cat's Eye Draco
"alright class, today we will be having a demonstration match." Prof. Goodwitch started. "for the first week, you all have been with your respective teams, now it is time to see the progression you all have made."
"...you're awfully quiet Ruby..." Jaune said, directing the groups' attention to him.
"something's up isn't it?"
"what? no... why would something be up? that's ridiculous!" she awkwardly laughed off.
"you're obviously hiding something."
"no I'm not."
"are too."
"am not."
"are too." this time, Witch and Rose joined in.
"...oh fine! I got this thing." Ruby relented, showing the green jewel that wrapped around her ankle with light brownish ribbons.
"that's the-"
"Our first match will be Ruby Rose vs Jet Susanoo. Will both students step down to the arena?"
"bye." was all Ruby said before disappearing altogether, a bundle of rose petals taking her place.
"...goddammit."
several seconds later, both combatants entered. weapons drawn.
"So care to explain why you have the Cat's Eye Draco on your ankle?" Jet asked bluntly.
"because I felt like it."
"Begin!" And with that, the battle commenced.
Lunging forward, Ruby rushed for Jet's side, Sniper-Scythe in hand. she slightly missed as Jet merely side stepped out of the scythe's reach. Spinning back around, she pulled the trigger, boosting her speed by the recoil, in which he countered with a Skull shield.
"Cat's Eye Draco." she whispered. suddenly the jewel on her makeshift anklet glowed and the ribbon lie wrappings extended, wrapping all up her leg and onto her waist. in a burst of... steaming rose petals(?), Ruby gained distance from the male. heaving slightly.
jet notice something completely off about the red hooded girl and decided to point it out. "Hey Rose... you okay?" he asked. "and... are you.. steaming?" he added, just now noticing the faint stream of white smoke flowing out of her.
"I'm fine." she growled, slightly staggering, she bursts forwards, this time, a trail of Flaming (?!) rose petals erupted from behind her. every step set of a tiny burst of explosive fire, further propelling her to the surprised Jet. Raising several bones, he rose into the air, effectively dodging her flame attuned charge, but went wide eyed when she literally jumped up to his level, similar to a rising Rocket. swinging again, this time, she managed to get a hit, as the surprised male had no time to react to her Flaming, Axe kick.
*CRASH*
"Hot damn..." Jet spoke in awe, rising up from the small crater he made with barely a scratch on him. slamming to the other side of the arena, Ruby emerged from her own smoke filled crater. "seems like you got it down packed already... no matter."
brandishing his skeletal Heiress, Jet surged from his spot, aiming for the girl with a loud roar.
cutting it off here.
like fave, review and i'm still accepting ideas. next chapter will advance the overall plot with this.
