RWBY: Survival - Chapter 9
Opening the door Sapphire and Blake announced their arrival, “We’re home!” They said in unison. Kali came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a knife looked at then, “Welcome back, go take a shower. Dinner is almost ready” She said, She went back inside but not before seeing Sapphire and Blake hold hands.
She smiled thinking that she is one step closer to getting a son-in-law, She arrived in the kitchen and saw Summer cooking fish, “Oh hello Kali, did the kids arrive yet?” Summer asked when she saw Kali arrive, “Yes and I just told them to wash themselves up, Did you know that I saw them both hold hands with smiles in their faces”
She said, Summer’s eyebrow raised, “Maybe something good happened at the park” Kali shrugged and went back to cooking. Ghira arrived home and saw Sapphire and Blake in their casual clothes reading books, “Evening kids” he said, “Ah Good evening father/uncle” they said.

After eating Blake and Sapphire was tired out, they used 30 minutes to go to the park. Another 30 minutes walking back, and 30 more with bathing and eating, so what they have done sapped all their energy for the day.
Saying good night to each other and to their parents/parent they went off the their rooms and slept like a log. Waking up, Sapphire hurried to bath and changed clothes. Grabbing his purple hooded cloak, he went down to the first floor and saw his mother waiting by the door.
“We will eat at the forest, go grab Midnight Edge” She said, doing as he was told he grabbed Midnight Edge and attached it to his waist. Leaving the house they arrived back to wher they trained, Sapphire unfolds Midnight Edge and went into a very clumsy stance, “I don’t know a lot about Scythe weilding but I will try my best to teach you.” Summer said as she unfolds her weapon.
Her weapon was a something a broadsword with a revolving cylinder with different dusts already filled inside of it, it had golden edges with a gray paint job, “You ready?” Sapphire nodded as he rushed to his mother.
He swung his scythe towards her hɨps, Summer blocked it with her sword and pushed Sapphire away, “We will keep this up just like last time, I will not attack and only defend. Refine your fighting style” She said.
They continued training for 3 hours, every minute Sapphire managed to refine his style very quickly thanks to his body’s potential. He swings, evades, make feints, and back away when Summer tries to push him backwards.
“Very good Sapphire, You got the basics down very easily. now we will now infuse Aura to our bodies okay?” She said, infusion of Aura to the bodies is a technique Summer developed when she was young.
By willing and compressing your Aura to a places in your body you will explode with either speed, defense, strength, or enhanced reflexes. Summer infused her Aura to her feet as Sapphire covered himself with Aura.
His manifested Aura was not fully stable and looked like it will dissapate with just two hits from Summer, Sapphire practiced controling his Aura last night before sleeping making him have decent control over his Aura.
Seeing that Summer was about to attack him with a downward slash he countered it with his own slash. Both weapons meet as sparks fly out of the clash, Sapphire was sent skidding back.
Using this chance Summer used her semblance as she appears infront of Sapphire in a flurry of white roses and attacked, having no time to adjust his scythe he took the hit head on sending him flying towards a tree.
He backflips in the air and used the tree as a foothold and launched himself towards Summer. By instinct he started spinning faster and faster towards Summer as purple petals suddenly appear behind him as he splits into two different Sapphires.
Surprised she failed to block the two Sapphires’ attack making her fly back and broke some trees in the process. After the attack a screen suddenly popped up infront of him.
[Message from Origin, do you wish to read?
Y/N]
It’s not everyday you get a message from a godly being, Sapphire clicked yes and read it’s contents.
[Dear Sapphire,
Hello Sapphire this is Origin, I sent this message to inform you about your semblance. Like Ruby’s petal burst your speed is increased but due to you having the power of duplication, you can split yourself into 5. Don’t worry I made it so that the duplicated you will disappear after thirty minutes.
Sincerely Origin]
Looking beside him, he saw the other Sapphire who was curiously looking at his hands, “Hey” Sapphire said, the clone looked at Sapphire and smiled, “Yes original?” The clone said, “What’s your name?” He asked, The clone hummed and finally said, “I remember my brothers call me Syr”
Sapphire nodded and wrapped his arm around Syr, “I think we are going to get along Syr” He said, Syr looked at Sapphire with the look that is saying ‘The original is an idiot’, “Ofcourse we are, I’m you afterall” Sapphire awkwardly laughed as he walked to his mom who was staring at them with a shocked expression.
