Chapter 7: A Hanging Man


Daniel's POV

I face palmed at the sight of the young man running away from Thel. Is he really that ugly?

"Please excuse him, he's just having a bad day," said the well endowed redhead with a smirk on her face. I watched as she suddenly pulled out a red and gold tube which slowly expanded into a sphere. With the help of her thumb, she took aim and launched it at the fleeing male. There was a familiar sounding boom as the spear accelerated from her hand and pierced his hood. The spear proceeded to anchor itself to a wall.

"What the hell Pyrrah?!" asked the man.

"Ah, we haven't introduced ourselves," the readhead said, "my name is Pyrrah Nikos."

"I'm Nora Valkyrie!" exclaimed the energetic girl.

"Name's Lie Ren, just call me Ren from now on," stated the asian looking kid.

"And I'm Jaune Arc…" yelled the slightly depressed guy hanging from a wall.

"And together, we're team JNPR," the 4 said in unison.

"So, who are you guys?" asked Jaune.

"We're just a bunch of aliens from outerspace coming here to devour all of you," I said with a chuckle. Jaune immediately started to struggle from the spear's grasp. "Haha, don't worry kid, just a little joke."

"Ha, yeah, very funny. Can someone please get this off from me?!" he exclaimed. I started walking towards Jaune, with the intent of helping him off the wall. With one hand, I grabbed ahold of the spear and yanked it from the wall with one hand. The 2 teams watched in awe as I easily freed Jaune. "Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Daniel."

Jaune was only hanging 2 feet from the ground, so there was no need to help him down. I saw him staring at me, most likely in fear and amazement at my sheer size. I'm slightly shorter than John though, only 7 feet tall.

"I assume you 4 all know John?" asked Thel. Jaune, Nora, Pyrrah, and Ren all nodded in response. "Well my name is Thel Vadam and you may just call me Thel. Don't fret, I mean no harm to all of you. These 2 gentlemen are my allies that also mean no harm to you."

Team JNPR seemed to ease a little bit, with the exception of Jaune though. He needs to man up. Jaune was still a little jumpy and avoided looking directly at John, Thel, or I. "Jeez," I said as I started to unlatch my helmet. There was a hiss as my suit depressurized and unlocked from my armor.

"See? I'm a human just like you. Albeit extremely upgraded, hehe," I said, "John is the same. But I doubt he would take his helmet off too."

"That's right, don't ask me to do so either," he replied. But nobody really listened to us as everyone seemed to be afixiated to the sheer whiteness of my skin. Of course it'd be white, the only time I've even taken off my suit is when it was upgraded to a Mark V.

John broke the silence as he pointed at the colossal building in the middle of the academy and asked, "Who's in charge of the area?"

"Since Beacon is a school, the person in charge of things around here is our Professos," answered Ruby.

"We 3 wish to speak to him about our current situation. You children couldn't possibly understand the gravity of what has happened to us." I said. The team members didn't seem to mind about being called children, but one girl clad in red was furious. Ruby stomped her foot on the ground and said, "I drink milk for your information!" She made sure that read the last portion slowly for greater emphasis. Her friends around her started laughing and caused Ruby's face to turn a bright red.

"S…s…so anyway, our Professor said that you could stay in one of our empty dorms for the night," she spewed out.

"I guess we have no choice," I said, "I'm fine with it, but how about you, John and Thel?" John simply nodded towards me while Thel said, "Better than sleeping with those 'Grimm' lurking around."

A Brisk Walk to Their Room Later...

Ruby was kind enough to guide us to our room while the rest of her friends went back to their dorms to sleep. "Alright guys, this is room 1337, make yourselves at home!"

As I open the door to our room, I found 3 beds neatly placed inside a room that's roughly the size of 2 Scorpions. Wait, Scorpions? I've been on the battlefield for way too long… Upon looking at the wooden-framed beds, I discovered something.

"Excuse me Ms. Rose, but I don't think these beds can accommodate our weight," inquired John. And the bastard beat me to it. "Oh yeahhhh, your armor must weight a ton huh?" replied Ruby.

"Actually, we weigh a ton WITH the armor," I stated. "Well, you've GOT to show me how good it is later on!" said Ruby, enthusiasm emanating from her voice. "Sure thing Ruby," I told her.

"Eeeeeeee, thank you!" yelled Ruby. As soon as she said that, we heard shushes from the neighboring rooms. "Don't worry about us Ms. Rose, we can manage not sleeping on real beds," said John. "Alright then, see you guys tomorrow!" she said as she departed from our room.

"Room 1337 huh? Has a good ring to it," I thought out loud. I placed down my supplies in one corner of the room as John and Thel followed suit. "We can't risk getting attacked without our armor on huh?" I asked.

"Obviously. They may seem nice but we can't be sure if they have a hidden motive or not," replied John. "Hey Cortana, you've been silent lately. What's going on?" I inquired. I was then greeted with the familiar voice and soothing voice of our construct. "Just examining our surroundings for any clues on how the hell we got here. Do you need anything?" she replied. "Oh nothing, just being curious I guess."

"Daniel, John, I think we should rest now. I have a feeling that tomorrow will be a long day," stated Thel. He proceeded to shut off the lights.

John and I nodded in agreement as we proceeded to lay on the floor of our room. It may seem uncomfortable from the outside, but the gel layer in our suits allows us to be able to feel like we're on a bed, when in reality we're not. A really useful feature on our suits. But I don't know if Thel's suit had a feature like this either.

And with that last thought, I drifted into sleep.


I'm SO SORRY GUYS! Really wanted get something out… Summer and Anime have been keeping me preoccupied. *Commits seppuku* Well anyway, this chapter was a bit half-assed, rushed, and I really suck at dialogue. Forgive me my readers! Anyways, please follow and review Remnant Dawn. Thanks for reading!
