KRWN: Part 2

Part 2


              “Wooooo!” Grun the faunus shouted as he flew through the sky above the Emerald Forest brandishing his weapon, his Ballistic Grappling Battle Spade. He fired the spade, swung from the tree it buried into and hit the ground running.





Cerise Nae was not having quite the good time Grun was. She had barely managed to catch herself with her whips then didn’t quite know which way was north and ended up switching directions several times. She eventually wandered into a small clearing for what she thought was the fourth time and fell to her knees in defeat. As she sat there wallowing she thought she caught something in her peripheral vision and felt a breeze.



Grun continued crashing through the underbrush and swinging through the trees with serious endurance. He came to a clearing and at first rushed right through it, he barely noticed the black and red blur. When he remembered they were supposed to find a partner and realized that blur was likely another person he skidded to a halt digging his spade into the dirt. He dashed back to the person and said, “Hi there, nice to meet ya,” as he stood there with a grin and an outstretched hand.



Cerise told herself it was just her imagination. That is until she saw a very large shape rushing toward her. It stopped just short of her and said, “Hi there, nice to meet ya.” This only made Cerise squeal in surprise. Grun continued to smile as he said, “My name’s Grun.”

“Cerise stammered, “I’m Cerise. Cerise Nae.”

“Well, Cerise it looks like we’re partners. You can call me Billy, all my friends do.” He still had his hand outstretched.

“Ok, why do they call you Billy?” Cerise asked sheepishly.

Grun’s smile finally left his face to be replaced with good natured skepticism, “You’re kidding, right?” He asked as he pointed at his goat horns with the hand that wasn’t being held out. Cerise looked a bit ashamed so Grun added, “Ah, it’s fine. So come on let’s get to the Forest Temple.”

“Ok, then,” Cerise murmured and finally took his outstretched hand.

Grun grinned a little mischievously and grasped her hand firmly. Cerise momentarily looked slightly concerned then very much worried because Grun had launched the head of his spade into a tree to the north. Cerise screamed as they both took off flying.



<p class="MsoNormal">“U-um, c-can we not do that anymore. Please?” Cerise stammered still very much frieghtened by their sudden travel plans.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Do what?” Grun honestly asked. Cerise looked as if she would answer but didn’t make a noise. They had swung their way through the forest until they came to the clearing the Temple resides in. Grun sauntered into the middle of the stone circle looking at the few remaining pieces. There was a Black Pawn, Rook, and a Knight also one gold piece was left, the King. “Uh, so, this one, or maybe this one,” Grun argued with himself.

<p class="MsoNormal">“How about this one,” Cerise went to the lone gold piece, “It’s kinda prettier than the black ones.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Grun walked over to Cerise and plucked the piece from the pedestal, “Looks good to me. Let’s get going then,” Grun then tossed the piece to Cerise and smiled a friendly smile. “Especially since we can’t go through the trees,”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">They pair began their hike back toward the cliffs with their piece. They were about halfway when Cerise spoke up albeit hesitantly, “I-it’s lucky we haven’t seen any Grimm. Maybe we’ll make it all the way without having to fight.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Grun furrowed his brow and commented, “Well  that certainly wouldn’t be any fun.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Cerise panicked a bit and said, “Don’t say things li---“

<p class="MsoNormal">She was cut off by the loud growling sound that came from some nearby brush.

<p class="MsoNormal">“That’s what I’m talkin’ about,” Grun shouted, “Woohoo!”

<p class="MsoNormal">Grun charged through the underbrush at the sound. Cerise tentatively followed.

<p class="MsoNormal">The two of them said in unison, “It’s an ursa!” “I-it’s an U-u-ursa!”

<p class="MsoNormal">Grun as is his nature charged the bear and started swinging his spade. The Grimm was nicked quite a few times but it didn’t seem to slow down. It swatted Grun away only to have him come at it again. And again… and again.

<p class="MsoNormal">Cerise stood by thinking ''He can’t keep this up he’ll be killed. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">After Grun had been thrown a few too many times and was slowing down considerably, The ursa was obviously going to get to Grun before Grun would get up. I’ve got to do something.

<p class="MsoNormal">The ursa rushed at Grun getting ever closer. Cerise panicked and unleashed her whips the Spinnerets and ensnared the ursa. Grun looked really surprised as he got back up. His expression quickly changed to a grin as he stuck the tip of his spade into the ursa’s neck and said, “Well there we go, Cerise.” Grun activated the mechanism on his spade and there was a metallic cachunk as the spade head flew through the ursa’s neck and its head fell to the dirt.

<p class="MsoNormal">Grun smiled over the dead Grimm and cheerily said, “Let’s go. I wonder if we get dinner tonight.”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Not long after they had left the Emerald Forest and were in the auditorium with Ozpin inducting them, “Dandelion King, Stella Reign, Cerise Nae, and Grun Williams. You retrieved the White King Pieces and from this day forward you will work together as team KRWN (crown) led by Dandelion King.”
