Hey everybody's! Welcome to the first chapter of my brand new story Weapon. Before we start, I would like to say a few things. First off, this story is in no way related to Tragic assumptions, so no Ruby aura thingy, no law enforcement, well... Yet. Also there are actually no pairings in this story. Or at least no pairings that only consist of team RWBY members. Anyways, enjoy chapter 1 of Weapon!
Ruby swung her scythe around in a full arc before bringing it down onto Yang, who easily blocked and sidestepped to a better position. She attempted to throw a punch into Ruby, but the move was foreseen, and Ruby shot backwards with her gun. Now being out of Yang's reach, she was able to come up with a plan.
Within seconds, Yang was at her again with fists flying. Ruby ducked and rolled behind her, before kicking around to bring Yang down. Using her semblance to garuntee that she was the first one up, Ruby put her scythe at Yang's throat, declaring her the winner. She rached her arm down to help her older sister onto her feet, who graciously accepted.
The two of the gave each other a friendly hand shake and walked off of the arena.
"Damn sis, you're getting good." Ruby giggled and turned to her other team mates, who congradualated her on the win.
"Thanks guys, hey what time does this class end?" Weiss' face went into a look of pure dumbfoundness.
"We've been at this school for five months and you still don't know the schedule?" Ruby blushed and looked away sheepishly, in return Weiss sighed. "Ten minutes." Ruby bounced up and down.
"Thanks Weiss!" Before anyone could respond, she was bounding towards the arena. She spoke a few words to Glynda Goodwitch that none of them could hear, but they saw her nod and gesture towards the stage. Afterwards Ruby went practically flying onto the stage to meet another two students.
"Hey! We're in the middle of a match. Get out!" They continued to watch as Ruby told them something, which made the two of them smile. In time frame of about a minute, the two of them were positioned at one end of the arena with Ruby on the other.
"Is she going to take on both of them?" Yang smiled with pride.
"Hell yes she is."
"Ok." Blake sat at the sidelines, her gaze perked with interest. Ten minutes later, the bell rang.
"See ya later boys!" Ruby giggled again as she hopped over the two heaps of exhausted students and moved over to her friends. "So are we just going to the cafeteria or are we going to do something first?"
Each of them thought for a moment, but it was Blake who spoke first.
"They're having a festival in town filled with plays and story telling." Weiss looked interested, but Ruby was hardly paying attention and Yang looked like she was ready to be sick just at the idea.
"No books, we should do something FUN." Blake muttered to herself at Yang's comment.
"I thought that was fun." But Yang ignored her, and took a moment to think. After a few seconds, a look of excitement came over her face.
"We'll go to Emerald forest and have a competition!" Although she preffered the book fair, Blake actually found the idea somewhat appealing. Weiss however, was very unsure.
"I don't think that we're supposed to be going out there on our own." Ruby finally started paying attention again and bounded over to them.
"We'll be fine! Come on." She grabbed Weiss' hand and started dragging her towards the school's exit, Blake and Yang following behind. A few minutes of struggling, taunting, and threatening, the four of them made their way into the edge of the woods. Yang stopped and turned to them.
"Ok so the rules are simple. Whoever kills the most grimm wins, beowolfs and borbatusks count as one, ursas count as two, deathstalkers count as four, and nevermores count as five. We meet back here in an hour." They nodded and dashed away.
Yang shot her way into a large group of beowolfs, who she counted before lunging. Weiss found herself face to face with a paticularily large ursa, and Blake was fighting a deathstalker. Each of them slowly killed their way through a fair number of grimm, and when the hour finished, they all had their number in their heads.
"Hey, where's Ruby?" The three of them looked around a bit, before seeing a red cloak dashing towards them. "Sup sis." Ruby ignored her comment and looked to the others.
"So what did you get?" Weiss huffed indignantly.
"I got thirty four." Blake smiled to herself.
"Not bad, I got fourty one." Yang puffed up.
"You guys didn't even come close to me! I got fifty five!" They all laughed at Yang's attitude, then turned to Ruby. "So what did you get Ruby?" Ruby kicked at the ground sheepishly.
"Uhhh, two hundred and seventy six." Yang's jaw dropped, but Weiss huffed again.
"No you didn't! Come on what did you really get?" Blake stood silently, trying to read Ruby. But she actually found herself believing the little bubble of energy.
"Well, one second. Ruby, how did you get that high?" Ruby counted her fingers for a moment, before turning back to Blake.
"I killed four beowolves, one ursa, twenty five deathstalkers, and twenty nevermores." Blake thought for a moment.
"What about the other seventy?" Ruby blushed slightly and smiled.
"I got those on the way back." By the time they had Weiss quiet again, they had finished walking back to their dorm and opened the door. As they walked inside, they saw that something was different. "Uhhh, anyone know where that came from?" They all shook their heads, mouths slightly agape. In front of them stood a bear. Well, it might as well have been. What really stood before them was a massive, black dog. On all fours it could almost reach Ruby's face with it's nose, which it attempted to do.
"W-what's it doing in our room?" Yang had a sudden thought.
"If he ruined any of my stuff, then blood will be shed today!" She ran over to her bed to inspect her things. But a breeze of wind made her shiver. Yang looked over to find the window open. She dashed over and closed it as tightly as she could. "So at least we know how the thing got in here." From the hallway, they could hear the shouting of an unfamiliar voice.
"Daisy! Daaaisy! Come here girl!" The dog that was practically on top of Ruby looked towards the door, and went bounding out to the source of the voice. The four embers of RWBY chased after the dog, wanting to find out who was the owner. However when they saw who was petting the colossal dog, none of them could recognize his face. After a few more seconds of petting, he walked up to Ruby.
"Sorry about that, she gets out of my sight every now and then. Usually she's good, but every now and then, well..." He gestured towards their room. Before Ruby could manage a reply, Weiss interjected.
"You better keep that mountain with fur away from me! I don't want to wake up one morning drowning in drool." He laughed and extended his hand.
"I'm David, and you are?" Ruby waved her arms back and forth, but it was too late.
"My name is Weiss Schnee! Heiress to the Schnee dust company. So what's your deal, stupid or memory problems?" David looked at her oddly, but decided against voicing the thoughts in his head.
"Sorry to inform you, but neither. I just don't care." Weiss was about to continue with her rant, so he continued to stop her. "To be quite honest, nobody that isn't directly related to your dust company really cares. It doesn't affect us in any way if it's you or someone else controlling the company, as long as someone is. Anyways, before I leave, I never caught your names." All three of them had been forcibly attempting to hold back their laughter, but to little success.
"I-I'm Ruby. Nice to meet'cha."
"My name's Yang."
"Blake." He nodded.
"Nice names, see ya later: Ruby, Yang, Blake, mega bitch." They sat there for a moment, trying not to laugh yet again. But Weiss' sudden outburst made them jump.
"HE GOES TO OUR SCHOOL?!"
Yup introducing OC's already. I do plan on having him a recurring character, so there was a point to all of this. But anyways, I hope you liked chapter 1, and please review or shoot me up on a pm, I want to know how I did!
