Chapter 56: RWBY Ice Queendom (4)
~Third POV~
Standing there by herself Negative Weiss stood there while Ruby escaped she heard the voice of dream Whitely as he spoke to annoy her, "She got away from us, sister."
"Klein!"
Negative Weiss calls to Klein as he shows his respect as he spoke to Weiss, "Yes, Mistress Weiss. Grumpy Klein is here for you."
Showing no emotions except for her cold exterior Weiss began to explain to Grumpy Klein what to do, "Mobilize all imperial soldiers and search for Ruby."
"As you wish!"
Next came the voice from one of the statues of Jacques Schnee out loud as if telling Weiss what to do, "If you truly are suited to be a daughter of the Schnee Clan, then carry out your duties, Weiss."
As Negative Weiss listens to Jacques's words she grits her teeth as she spoke out coldly to no one in particular except herself, "I'll prove to you that I'm worthy."
Negative Weiss saying this the Nightmare thorns are twirling around originating within her shadow…

"Ah!"
Ruby woke up alarmed as she regains herself as Yang asked concern Ruby shrugged it off with a yeah as she glances her eyes at Shion to talk about the info she got, "I did find the dream Weiss – No. Negative Weiss. But did I fail somehow?"
Shion replied in a neutral tone as he talked to Ruby in a calm voice, "For a first reconnaissance mission, you performed very well. Please tell us in detail about everything you saw and heard."
Like that Ruby explained the best she did to Shion as he nods drawing a map of the dreamscape Weiss Shion began to explain what is happening, "The city is a fortress that the Nightmare built out of Weiss's thoughts. The nightmare itself should be inside the core of her mind."
Next came Glynda as she asked in a curious tone what to expect of what happened to Weiss in the dream world, "When you saw Weiss inside the dream, what was she like?"
Ruby explained the best of what happened about Weiss as she came to her own conclusion of Negative Weiss like with the Team JNPR situation yesterday Shion nodded and asked the next question, "Please decide who will enter the dream by the time my aura recovers."
All the members of Team R(W)BY joined in as they all spoke out vocally helping their friend.
"I'll go!"
"This time, I'll go too!"
"Me too!"
Ruby seeing this was surprised but then immediately told her team that too many would be bad and possibly get noticed, "If there are too many of us, they'll spot us right away. I should go alone."
Both of Ruby's teammates look at her as Yang speaks up to her little sister about the issue, "You want us to leave everything to you?"
Ruby held up both her arms in defense as she spoke out trying to reason with her sister, "Well… hey I'm the leader…"
Yang places both her arms and hands to her hop as she looks at Ruby trying to take full responsibility as she spoke to her intention of helping, "What are you talking about? This isn't your only responsibility. You couldn't handle Negative Weiss alone, so it's obvious we should go as a team."
However, Blake began to realize why as she spoke to Ruby in a calm voice as she talks, "You really don't want us to see that Negative Weiss, do you?"
Ruby mumbled out her words not exactly disagreeing with Blakes's words, "Well… its…. Complicated…"
Yang hearing this catches up to what the two were talking about as she replied to them, "Huh?! Ah, I get it! I guess that dream Weiss must really be nasty."
Blake then corrects Yang and immediately agrees to help for her own reasons as Weiss gave to her yesterday convinced to help Weiss after accepting her, "It's Negative Weiss. I've been thinking about it since Weiss fell asleep, and just like Weiss, I decided that I don't care. So, I'll be fine."
Yang smiles at Blake's new attitude as she motivated her team by simply asking Weiss when she's awake, "We can ask Weiss how she actually feels later. We're going together, leader!"
"Yeah ok!"
*Knock*
*Knock*
Hearing the knocking sound of the door came out to team JNPR acted calm as they enter inside to see the situation a bit surprised by the news.
Glynda seeing them come over asked a bit confused about why they were here as she talked to them, "Now what do all of you want? The class is about to start soon. And how did you know we were here?"
Pyrrha was the one to speak up with a valid reason to Glynda why they came here as she explained to her, "We really wanted to see how Ruby and the others were doing. We asked the professors why to know. And we were all wondering where they were since we didn't see them in class today."
Nora takes a look at Weiss and next asked the professors and Team R(W)BY, "Weiss hasn't woken up yet?"
Listening to Nora's question Ruby replied to Nora's question about Weiss as Jack gets closer to Weiss's body with a frown shown, "No. We have to go into her dream again."
Ren nods at this as he glances at Weiss as he replied his own thoughts out loud to Team R(W)BY, "So she didn't wake up for the first time…"
However, the voice of confidence comes off from Yang as she places her open hand on her chest gesturing the confidence, "We'll still find a way. We're not coming in second after Team JNPR!"
Pyrrha smiled at Yang's confidence as she replied with a cheerful tone to them, "There's no better team for the job."
Nora began to playfully ack in a curious tone as she spoke to Ren placing her hand on her chin, "Did we have that much trouble with Jack?"
Ren's eyes go over to Nora next to her as he replied with a neutral tone, "It seems that Jack's case was different from Weiss's since the Nightmare didn't take full control of his Dreams. But this case though…"
Frowning at this Jack responds a bit surprising some of his friends knowing his relationship with a Schnee isn't good, "Dang… I kind of wish I was in her place. No one would like to have their mind fucked with. Not even Weiss…. What?"
Turning around he expressed some confusion as they saw some of the members look a bit surprised while the professors smile at him as he spoke, "What? Was it something I said or something?"
Blake was the one to recover before she replied to Jack's question in a confused tone, "Uh… Ahem! Sorry we thought with Weiss like that this and your previous interactions –"
Jack didn't let Blake finish as he shrugged what she was talking about with a neutral tone in his voice, "And why does that matter? At the end of the day, we are becoming Hunters so it's best to put aside our differences against a common enemy no. Plus no one deserves to go through their nightmares. Not even to people that I dislike deserve it."
Pyrrha's eyes widen a bit surprised by Jack's mood with Weiss as she glances at Weiss as thorn marks are shown on her body.
Glynda then began to talk to Team JNPR asking them to leave a bit so that they could focus on saving Weiss, "All right, you four get to class –"
Before Glynda could finish speaking Jack interrupted her as he volunteered to help, "Sorry but is there any way to help her."
Glynda narrowed her eyes as Shion thought a bit before shaking his head as he spoke to Jack, "Young man while it's appreciated I could only send these three to Weiss's dream –"
However Jack managed to counter Glynda's words with his Semblance
At this Shion was silent as heard the words coming out of Jack's mouth Ren remembered before he glanced at Jack's eyes and nodded slightly to make no one notice, "Right. I forgot that our friend here could boost the effects of Aura. I think our leader can be helpful to you Shion and Professor sir."
Hearing this Nora and Pyrrha nodded in understanding thinking this could be Jack's chance to help Team RWBY to save their ally as they don't want their own friend to die.
Ozpin on the other hand merely smiled looking at them as he thought to himself and towards Jack, 'Oh my? It seems to me that their bonds as a team are already blooming. And the way they support themselves. It seems like the Nightmare they faced only strengthen them and along with mister Nights having the Arc Hereditary Semblance to boost Aura could prove useful…'
Thinking of the odds given as Glynda was about to scold them Ozpin stopped her while he glanced at Jack and spoke out with a sly smile, "Very well then young man. Please assist in boosting Shion Aura and Semblance to the best you can. Oh, and do help out Team RWBY boosting their auras here in the real world."
Jack nods at this as the rest of Team JNPR began to leave as Ozpin goes over to Ruby as he spoke to her giving some hope, "I'll check again later. I have faith in Team RWBY."
Ruby smiles at this as she sees Ozpin eye to eye as she spoke to him with confidence, "Thank you. We'll do our best."
As Ozpin began to leave Shion then calls forth Jack as he places an hourglass filled with flowers as he spoke to him in a neutral tone, "Jack. Boost my aura like you say. The more Aura I have the more that Team R(W)BY will have coins to spare."
"Yes sir!"
Going over as Jack uses the skill
"Yes!"
They all agreed as they all began to lie down and Shion doing his part waving his dream catcher weapon with Jack beside him as he spoke to team RWBY, "Silence your hearts, and entrust yourselves to me. I'll invite you into the dream."
Like that the hearts of Team RWBY began to enter Weiss dream world as Jack observes boosting Shion Aura and Semblance.
