TheTrueTemplar here, well after watching the entirety of RWBY four times in the space of several days I decided it was time to make a little fan-fiction, this story takes place after the 1st Round of the Vytal Festival Tournament and introduces four original characters that I have had created for a long time.
The story will try to accommodate elements of fighting, comedy and the odd touch of romance, if you want anything else then just ask. I'm doing this for fun but also to develop my writing skills so leave reviews and message me if there is anything you would like to happen in the story, I would love for this to be a story for the people, by the people.
(PS: I apologise to any Americans out there for my use of UK English!)
Deus vult!
As Team RWBY and JNPR enjoyed a relatively peaceful breakfast in the dining hall (albeit hard to do with Nora at the table), they began discussing Ozpin's most recent announcement, that a team of four students from a relatively unknown continent would be joining their school.
"The name of the continent was Tercios I believe," said Blake without raising her head from the book she was engrossed in.
"I've never-heard-of-it-" said Ruby as she continually shoved pieces of bacon into her mouth.
"Neither have I, do you think the way they act will be completely different to ours?" asked Jaune whose breakfast had already been stolen by Nora.
"Well Sun and Neptune are from a different area, and they're sorta...different...I guess?" Ruby added.
"Who cares about all that," said Yang throwing her hands onto the table with enthusiasm, "The important thing is, it's a team made up of four foreign boys..." she added with a grin causing all at the table (bar Nora who was captivated by her pancakes) to sigh.
"Seriously Yang is that all you think about?" asked Weiss with a look of disdain, "There's more to life than boys you know."
"True," Yang said with a smile that quickly turned into a devious grin, "But I'm not the one who was practicing introductions last night in the hall until 3:00 AM."
Weiss' cheeks flushed a deep crimson, "I-I-I just wanted to make sure I didn't say anything to offend them that's all!" she said while trying to maintain her composure, "We're representatives of this school and I didn't want to say anything that they would perhaps not like to hear."
"And by that she means not ruin any of her chances with them," added Blake who had decided to help Yang toy with Weiss, "After Neptune we already know she has a thing for foreign guys so this isn't surprising" she added as she playfully raised her eyebrows and looked convincingly at those present at the table to join in on the teasing.
Pyrrha nodded gently and decided to have some fun with Weiss as well,
"Ah yes I see what you mean now, Weiss does tend to familiarise herself more so with those of a different orient," said Pyrrha looking around the table and then finally to Weiss as the rest of Team JNPR nodded in agreement, apart from Jaune who missed the joke and sighed, his compatibility rate with Weiss seemingly getting even lower.
Weiss had now stood up, "Wait that's no-"
"Shh...shh...shh," said Yang as she placed her finger over the Ice Queen's lips, "It's okay Weiss, we all like different things, that's what makes us who we are" she said with a genuine smile, Weiss relaxed, happy that the gang's abuse of her had seemingly stopped,
"You just happen to get sexually frustrated when you're not around foreign guys" finished Yang causing the rest of her team and the entirety of the dining hall to burst out into laughter at Weiss' expense, who promptly got up from the table and stormed towards the hall's entrance.
As Weiss left the canteen and headed out for a calming walk around the academy she could still hear her supposed friends laughing at her,
"The nerve of those fools," she thought to herself in her enraged state, "I am most definitely going to get payback for that."
Back in the dining hall the two teams were avidly discussing the new students in question while Weiss went for one of her now almost daily 'Calming down' walks,
"I wonder what they'll look like…" said Yang as she gazed into her own imagination, "I bet they'll all be tanned and muscular."
At this point, Sun and Neptune appeared almost as if on cue,
"Did somebody say tanned?" said Neptune as he winked at Yang, before getting punched in the stomach by her.
"And muscular…" followed Sun as he wrapped an arm around Blake, before getting a book planted into his face.
As both the members of Team SSSN lay sprawled on the floor in pain Ruby suddenly remembered a snippet of information Ozpin had given her in regards to the new students,
"Guys listen I've just remembered!" she said prompting everyone to turn to her, "Ozpin told me that the new guys will be in our classes, even though they're a year older than us!"
"Oh yes that's right," Blake said as she set down her book, "I think because of their education system they enter school one year after we do."
Yang practically exploded with ecstasy at the news,
"So they're not just foreign but they're older than us too…" she said before releasing a suggestive groan that most definitely mentally scarred all present at the table, "Boy I am gonna have some fun…"
Neptune (who at this point had recovered) began to laugh at Yang,
"Yang I think you need to go and take a cold shower…" he said which instantly gained him another punch to the stomach.
"And you know it's bad if it's Neptune telling you that," Sun chipped in which earned him a glare from his floored teammate.
At this point, Ren noticed that Nora had stopped eating pancakes and was making something with paper and crayons,
"Nora what are you making?" Ren inquired, "And secondly, where did you get those materials…?"
"Well…" said Nora who stopped what she was doing and got on top of the table, "For thousands of years man and woman have exchanged gifts between each other as a sign of goodwill and welcoming, it was an act of such purity that allowed people to begin relationships on the right foot, it allowed those who struggled with words to sho-"
"Nora..." Ren said placing his hand on the orange haired hammer wielder.
"Yes, Ren?"
"If indeed possible could we have an answer today, please?"
Nora pouted before slowly sitting down,
"I wanted to make them a welcome banner, they could be nervous about coming to a place they've never been before and I thought if they saw this it might make them feel better…"
"That's a great idea Nora!" said Ruby bringing back the smile that had left Nora's face, "Everyone, after classes let's meet up in Team JNPR's room and make a big welcoming banner!"
Everyone at the table nodded in jovial agreement just as Ozpin appeared beside their table,
"It brings a smile to my face to see you students putting in effort for your soon-to-be fellow classmates," he said as he stirred the liquid inside of his cup.
"Thank you sir," said Pyrrha with a courteous nod, "It's just as Jaune tells us, strangers are just friends you haven't met yet, so we should welcome them like it."
"Indeed, indeed," replied Ozpin as he took a drink out of his cup, "On that note, I was wondering if after class today I could borrow the members of Team RWBY and JNPR for several minutes. I would like the eight of you to personally represent our Academy as the welcoming party and need to run a few details past you, does that suit you?"
"Everyone's faces beamed at the honour Ozpin was bestowing upon them, they had only been at Beacon for several months and already they were being chosen to be the welcoming party, both teams stood up and bowed to their headmaster,
"It would be an honour sir," said Pyrrha with a beaming smile.
"We'll make sure everything runs smoothly," added Ren with a nod.
"You can count on us!" said Ruby with a thumbs up which caused Ozpin to chuckle lightly before turning and leaving the hall,
"That's what I like to hear children, now please meet me in my office at 4:30 PM and we can take it from there."
"You got it!"
