Chapter 61: RWBY Ice Queendom (9)

~Jack POV~

Cold.

That was all I actually felt when I enter the dream world.

Was this what Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren had to go through to save my sorry hide?

"Oh, that's the tree I knocked over."

What?

Hearing voices from above I continue to listen in as I know I heard Yang's voice but soon the others become more clearer for me to hear.

"If it's still here, that means…"

"We can change the dream, right?"

"Hey, where's Jack?"

Ok, now I know that was Ruby's voice for sure as the other belonged to Blake, and Yang judging from the sound of things they appear to be above me from hearing the situation.

*Rustle*

Moving my body around against the snow – Wait…

Snow!

Quickly using my <Deep Pockets> I managed to recover the newest item I got from the rewards around my body as I used the <Coat of Ice> as I immediately don't feel cold anymore around my body.

Huh?

Guess having an item like this is really useful after all.

Pushing my way up I manage to hold onto something as it felt warm –

"What?! Let go!"

Oh, that was just Ruby.

Knowing that I have a safe area to enter out of now I used <Telekinesis> to drag myself out from the snow as I soon appeared out of the snow as I made my entrance, "For thousands of years I lay dormant – Oh? Hey guys... Wait hold up. Is that what you guys look like in the lucid dream world?"

Stopping my act I finally get to see the new looks of everyone as well as Yang with her motorcycle along with Ruby looking like a skier and… "Blake why do you have one cat ear and paws? And tail?"

Pausing a bit at this I saw Blake's new look she stares at me as she questions what I have behind my back in a neutral tone, "Well this is how Weiss sees me and… what's with the brown cape and giant sword? Overcompensating much?"

"What?"

Saying that out loud confused as I began to stand up, I finally got to look that I do in fact have a brown cape and beneath it my <Coat of Ice> along with a sword… what the hell Weiss I'm more of a close-range fighter, not a sword Mii fighter damn it.

As I landed down – The heckapuss?

*Thud*

That was when I suddenly fell down a bit before I managed to get myself up again as I felt the weight of them as I spoke out equally as confused, "The heck? My sword and cape are way too heavy but manageable?"

Standing up I hear the comments from Team R(W)BY as they judge what I look like to be some kind of rebel or something with the clothes I have but normal one's underneath it all with Yang commenting about me, "This is how Weiss sees him, right?"

Yang nods her head in agreement taking a look at me guessing her own conclusions, "I guess that means she thinks he can't handle his weapon quite metaphorically speaking."

Ruby soon came over to my side in slight concern about me, "Jack you okay?"

Ruby really is too nice for me.

Giving Ruby a thumbs up as well as a reply as I get used to this over massive Sword on my back, "Yeah I'll manage… still could use a gauntlet or knuckle duster though…"

Standing up again I checked my pockets out I manage to get three coins out as did everyone else had the same amount as we all agreed to use them sparingly and like that we all began to leave our spot.

/////

*Swoosh*

Ice boarding on snow wasn't something I would ever imagine I would ever do and in a dream at that using my sword to move down the snowy path on this dream mountain.

Is this what my team has to do to save me with something similar?

Meh.

Better to not think too much about it.

Team RWBY already got their rides as I pretty much use my oversized sword as a snowboard even though it's difficult to use and move around in because it's my first time using it.

And I want to reserve my AP as much as I can but it seems like Team RWBY can't see my gamer abilities in the dreamscape which is a big relief for me because this shows what we really have that can't be seen.

Thank god for that.

But in all honestly fuck that Nightmare Grimm.

I will never forgive the Grimm for mind fucking with me.

But about the sword though…

<Observe>.

-----

Item: The Sword of Defiance

Description: This sword is the manifestation of Weiss's dreams of the being known as Jack Nights to ever rebel against her and the effects of the user's Heart reminding the conditions of being possessed.

-This blade is an effect to rebel against the Grimm Nightmare making it far away from it.

-----

Ok, so this is basically a big fuck you repel in Pokémon games then.

Got it.

As we all started to land down, I got a look at the most confusing thing I ever saw in my life near the cliffside with train tracks, "Ok this is by far the most confusing sign I have ever seen in my life. Do… do all Atlas have something like this or is it just Weiss?"

Or this could be a very complicated sign…

Huh?

Looking at a sign I see my own wanted poster sign!

Nice!

But also not nice!

Ok, I better hide my face just in case something goes wrong.

For their and my safety reasons.

Yang agreeing with as she got close to the sign also replied about what the heck was seeing in front of us, "Yeah… that is the most difficult sign I have ever seen. Any idea what it's trying to say? Cause I'm lost here…?"

That was when I hear Ruby's voice as everyone got their weapon ready I raise my… guess I have my Gauntlets again for whatever reason.

"Vroooo…."

Huh?

Getting confused hearing a train sound in the distance I managed to see from a far distance away I see a train and White Fang members looking more monstery than normal or usual really without the terrorism.

I guess we're saving a train then.

But I cover myself with my <Coat of Ice> to hide my face as we all began to jump this train.

*Swoosh*

Then we all dropped down as I landed down on the train and with the sword on my back, I just used <Telekinesis> to wield the weapon with surprisingly no effort.

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

Like that the sounds of gunfire from the dream versions of the White Fang shot at me as I activated my stacks and I avoided the gunshots, and we all began to fight back.

*BAM*

"Ragh!"

Slamming my fist at one of their faces out of the train and falling into the snow I didn't get a level up or any experience as I frown at this wanting to earn some EXP to raise my level but…

*Swoosh*

*Bang*

Dodging another gunshot of the White Fang as another comes at me with a sword I began to use my new skill out as I used the skill <Aura Ball> as a ball made of pure aura was now in the direction of him.

Got you.

*Pew*

"Argh!"

*Thud*

Forcing the White Fang Grunt off the train as it fell down I see that the situation is becoming calm again as I see we got out of the valley as Ruby finishes off the White Fang, "This is the last one!"

*Poof*

Seeing the last White Fang grunt in the dream world is gone I finally looked ahead outside of the valley with some valid concerns in my voice, "Uh… guys? There's a literal gate at the center! Isn't this bad, news?"

That was when I hear words of encouragement from Ruby, Blake, and Yang as I couldn't believe what is happening right now.

Words of encouragement.

Were they trying to fucking talk no jutsu me!

And convince me to believe…

No...

Are we really considering using words to sway Weiss or the wall?!!

We are fucking relying on the power of friendship of all things to open the gate.

Fucking... friendship.

Well… this was a nice life.

"Open up Weiss!"

"Please, Weiss, open up!"

"Open it!"

"Don't shut us out! Weiss!"

Well, shit might as well try who knows it might work out in my favor surviving this but if I die…

I will personally haunt Salem and Ozma equally for eternity if die to this, "Come on open the gate Weiss!"

*Creeee*

You have got to be kidding me?

That worked!

Well…

That's the last time I ever underestimate the talk of no jutsu ever again.

Seeing the door open up to us we enter inside the base of the fortress as we are all standing up onto a moving train not questioning why we aren't falling off because of speed or dream physics.

That was when I heard Blake speaking about the train and the gate opening up, "Amazing! The walls keep opening!"

Yang quickly replied as I stopped my <Telekinesis> holding the sword as I place it inside my <Deep Pockets>, for now, to hold it inside as she spoke out, "Hah! This must be some of that dream maintenance!"

Dream maintenance…?

Wow.

I wonder if Weiss played Minecraft thinking of this big brain fortress like this… highly doubtful.

And seeing all the buildings moving out of place really reminds me of Gildarts coming to Fairy Tail to avoid him and this train…

Hmm…

Maybe I should start working on that <Vibration Manipulation> using Ruby Semblance <Petal Burst> since it controls my atoms vibrating them wouldn't be that hard, but I do need to control it more.

I feel like Weiss puts too much thought into making this train look more epic than it should be… unless it's a Demons Slayer Movie then I approve.

The more the train moves as more rails appeared as we bypass the walls around here… really feels like Attack on Titans right now.

Is that a station?

But my more concerning issue is the level of this Negative Weiss I see using <Observe> from the distance in her castle.

[Negative Weiss – Lv.? Nightmare]

Well… that looks nice…

Oh great lord please grant me strength for this.

I just have to be the bait for this giving Team R(W)BY the chance.
