"Do you remember what we taught the clone Monday?" Twilight asked.
They were in her library again and Micro was looking through the clone's memories as he browsed the shelves and tables, looking at some of the artifacts Twilight had gathered. Sunset was in a chair reading a book but glanced up at him to hear his answer.
"The main subject you talked about was how most magical fiction that has been published actually references real events that were just kept secret from non ability users. Granted they were embellished a bit to protect the ability users involved or just make the story more entertaining. Some are also just echoes of memories that some people had from getting their minds wiped after they saw too much. Others glimpsed visions of alternate worlds."
He thought of writers like J.K Rowling and JRR Tolkien. The former witnessing the events of some of the Harry Potter series and just filling in the gaps with her own story, while the latter was actually recording a real historical event with some embellishing.
"Correct," Twilight said as she motioned for Sunset to join them. The fiery haired girl put her book down and grabbed something off the table next to her. Walking over, she held it out to Micro.
"Do you know what this is?" Sunset asked, holding the item out. It was a small golden bar with carvings over it and two finger rings on the bottom. Micro didn't even need to use Observe.
"A sling ring?! Like in Doctor Strange?"
"More or less," Twilight said. "They kinda exaggerated how powerful it can be. For one, it can't conjure portals as rapidly as it did during the Thanos fight, and it also doesn't instantly sever anything caught in it when it closes. It works more like a snag."
That was a bit of a disappointment. Micro had really been looking forward to instantly decapitating enemies and just instawinning fights.
"So this is what I'm learning to use today?" He said. Upon seeing nods he began grinning. That was when he saw their smirks. "Why are you…"
Then he remembered how the Ancient One taught Stephen Strange the sling ring's magic.
"Oh don't you-" he was cut off as he fell through the ground. He hit snow and growled as he tried to shoot back into the air through the closing portal, but failed. Micro sighed and took a stance as he began trying to make a portal.
"At least you can use magic to heat yourself jefe," Sombra said.
"Yeah...I'm in better shape than Strange was." There was a pause and Micro heard Sombra growl. "What?"
"I just feel naked if since I can't connect to anything."
Rolling his eyes, Micro went back to his portals. He almost fell off the mountain though, when Sombra appeared in his glasses actually naked. She laughed as he used fire magic to melt the snow around him.
"Not funny." Micro pulled up his party screen and tried messaging Chara to let her know what he was up to, only for a screen to pop up.
Intended target is out of communication range
"...There's a damn range on this thing!"
Chara
"You think you can handle me!?" Chara called out as she ran forward holding the Dagger of Sunfire backhanded in her left as she held her new dagger in her right. The dark creatures of Grimm (RWBY) charged toward her. With a grin, Chara thrust the dagger forward and the blade segmented, shooting out and impaling a Beowolf in the head.
This was Hikage's dagger from the Senran Kagura series, and Chara loved it.
Well, back to work. She had a level gap to make up for and couldn't afford distractions. That was why she turned off messages.
Back at Twilight's
"...Do you think we picked up Celestia's teaching habits?" Sunset asked Twilight. The other tutor shrugged.
"At least it's the fun ones."
Both took a chair in the room and began reading. They knew he could survive the snowy mountain a lot longer than Dr. Strange.
On the table, their phones sat turned off. After all, if students were supposed to keep their phones off during class, why shouldn't the teacher?
Diamond's House
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Spike asked. They were in the basement of her family's mansion within an ID. On the ground, Diamond was drawing a chalk circle.
"I followed the instructions in the book, and I simply wish to form a minor contract," Diamond said. "Besides, it's not like I'm risking connecting to the Abyss just yet...though based on what I read I probably could make a contract with one of the Demon Lords."
Spike was about to say something when Diamond began chanting. He wanted to convince her to not do this, but if he interrupted now…
In case it would cause any distraction, they shut their phones off.
Silver's Backyard
Silver and her father were wearing their fencing uniforms, fouls in hand as they parried and thrust rapidly at each other. After a few moments, Silver landed a blow and her father took off his helmet.
"You haven't lost your touch Silver," he said. Sterling had short, salt and pepper hair and steely gray eyes that shone with pride. "Though I must ask, why did you want to start practicing again?"
"School has a fencing club that will start meeting soon," she replied instantly, having already looked it up to come up with her excuse. "I figured it would be best to practice before then."
Her father nodded at that logic and put his helmet back on. If he knew that she was actually learning to fight monsters and the like…
Not wanting to ruin her personal time with her father, she put her cellphone on her nightstand to charge in her room.
An ID in the Park
"Hahahahaha!" Shiro laughed.
"Would you stop laughing and help me?!" Sweetie yelled.
"Sorry," Shiro smirked as he walked over to her.
They had decided to try training with weapons to determine what would be the best option for her. After a while, they decided the spear wasn't best, ax didn't fit, and while the sword worked she said it felt limited. Eventually she picked up the whip and...well that's what lead to the current situation.
"I turned around for five seconds," Shiro said as he knelt down to help untie her.
"Shut up," she muttered, blushing as his hands brushed all over her body. Finally, he got her untied and she stood up.
"Well, I guess that mark whip off the-"
"Wait," Sweetie said. "I...I don't know why, but something just feels right."
"Oh? Kinky. Am I getting a look into one of your fantasies?" Sweetie blushed at his antics but from the past few days, she had started getting used to it.
"You're going to have to get a lot farther than our date tomorrow to find that out," she shot back.
"Oh! Kitty has claws! So, the whip feels right?"
"Kind of," Sweetie said as she tried to crack the whip at a target. It missed, but she did here a slight snapping sound. "It's a lot like the sword. I feel good with it but something in me says it's too limiting."
Shiro put a hand to his chin in thought. He grinned as a thought occurred to him.
"I have an idea. In the meantime, let's work some more on air magic. You got Zephyr down pretty well, so let's work on keeping your distance from your opponent."
Sweetie nodded and handed him the whip, He put it on the rack and put on a pair of…
"Are those Sock Em Boppers?" Sweetie asked.
"More fun than a pillow fight," Shiro nodded. "And good for cushioning punches during training. These are just in case you fail to dodge so you don't get hurt."
Sweetie grinned and already Shiro could see a small whirlwind forming around her.
"I see you decided to go with shorts today…"
"Is that disappointment I hear?" Sweetie said teasingly. "You've had plenty of free shows, now you have to earn it."
Shiro chuckled and dropped into a stance. As he shot a covered fist forward, Sweetie skipped back, wind pushing her further than normal. As she landed, she was shocked to see Shiro instantly close the distance.
"Ah!" Sweetie thrust out her hands and wind shot at Shiro, sending him flying back a good 20 feet. "Shiro! Oh I'm sorry! I-"
"Hot damn!" Shiro said as he jumped to his feet. "You're progressing faster than I thought!"
Sweetie smiled and started forming the wind around her again. Her potential boyfriend grinned and fell into his stance again.
Sweetie's phone was in her bag off to the side. She didn't want to risk it getting broken during training.
Sweet Apple Acres
"Thanks for the help Sugar cube," Applejack said as Sugar was carrying a large basket of apples. Apple Bloom was walking alongside him and occasionally elbowing him when she caught him staring at her sister's ass. She might be considering convincing him to form a harem with Peppermint, but her sister was a different story.
They went to the barn where they were going to get out of the sun to sort the good and bad apples.
"So," Sugar smiled at his girlfriend. "Once we finish with these, do you want to-"
Before Sugar could finish, Big Mac ran into the barn. His face was one Apple Bloom never saw on him before. Terror.
"Applejack!" He shouted. "You...you have to get out here!"
"What in the sam hell?!" Applejack yelled as she ran out. Sugar and Apple Bloom looked at each other and followed. What they saw shocked them.
From the edge of the forest, a huge pack of dark brown hounds were forming. Above the tops of the trees, a rounded green bulb could be seen.
"Go now my friends!" A voice called out as the bulb moved, as if it were the one talking. "Just bring me the bodies!"
The Apples and Sugar stared in horror as the army of wolves swarmed the farm.
